Thank you so much to the Petlibro Smart Polar Wet Food Feeder for sponsoring this video! We finally have the Truck furniture sofa. This is the biggest change we've made to the living room and it completely changes the atmosphere. We find it much cozier :)

In a way, Benji is so lucky to have created a video diary essentially documenting every part of his home from every angle in beautiful formats. That is a lot more than what most people have. Though it must be so so difficult to go back through the videos and watch videos of his home from before the fire, at least he has these videos to prove it all existed and was loved.

[@SloppyAndBlue]

This is so heart breaking to watch post fire. “I just know that we are going to have it for such a long time”. 💔

[@amywilkinson6822]

🥺

[@henry_evan]

i just got to the part where he said “we are going to make so many memories here” 😭

[@hyunnieo60]

it’s truly devastating how things can unfold so quickly. 💔

[@GaGaObession]

I agree so sad :( I only found his channel after the fires so it’s weird going back of what had been

[@BookclubwithB]

As a person who has lived through tragedy, when he reads this it won’t be helpful at all. It only will make it worse. Keep it positive

[@Gadgetlily]

I am so so sorry. I admire your love of aesthetics and your style. I hope speedy recovery for this tragic event. I am really wordless.

[@theiemsif49385]

This beautiful home still exists in another realm! All the best for you two and the pets.

[@contempl8ive]

I found you in a very unfortunate way this morning and this is the second video I’ve ever seen of yours, but I am subscribing already because I love your personality, your pets and your design ideas. Thankfully you still have all those❤

[@aoefeable]

I’m the same, saw the Lost my House video and subscribed for the same reasons as you.

[@GaGaObession]

ditto! only just found his channel I’m glad he has this channel as a capsule but what a beautiful home to lose :(

[@potterlinda02]

I did as well.....my heart breaks

[@boostchillmusicvibes]

So sorry for your house, it was beautiful. Hugs from Paris, France

[@agnesrusso4192]

Maybe your babies get along so well cause you are one of the most peaceful couple around, and it rubs off on them!!! )))Oh great couch BTW!

[@twittwit1227]

fr I just love how chill they are

[@MrDominicBrant]

anyone else binge watching as a way of showing support? :)

[@pixiemom6118]

I do😊

[@gewurztramina]

I learned about this channel from the video about losing the house to the fires. It was a very beautiful house. I’m glad you’re safe

[@jessiekidwell670]

What a happy home! I’m so sorry that you lost it, and your beautiful gardens, but I know we are all praying for and rooting for you to get back up and we will be excited to see you create again!

[@mayandjune346]

I'm sorry for your loss Benji. You had a beautiful house. I loved your videos while going through camcer treatment and they were a great source of comfort. I hope you can rebuild your lives soon❤

[@Alicewatcheseverything]

Aww the cat giving Theo kisses~ my cats would never for their doggo brother. Edit: the couch definitely fits the aesthetic more, I like it

[@suzannasena1488]

Omg, Theo and the kitty baffing each other and wrestling in the background is GOLD!! So cute.

[@snbabysmiley]

It's unfortunate to run into your channel due to the fire. I can't imagine the devastation of losing your home, but at least you still have your partner and both your cute fur babies. I'm glad you are all safe. Stay strong.

[@Mommabear-b9e]

May love and peace carry you all through these days. Your home and plants were beautiful . Sorry for your loss.💚

[@alexandermunoz1300]

My favorite part of the home update series, is watching Theo and winny. And also, i love your sweater.

[@xyz-pg3zd]

Love how he just makes everything work. Everything is blended in effortless 😮

[@2BRnot2BRipper]

I watched your latest vid about losing your home to the fire and came to this one to see your home before the fire. It’s so heartbreaking as you’d created such a beautiful space to live in. You will rebuild and it will be a fresh start with new memories. Take care and thinking of you and your partner and fur kids. 🤗

[@Savannah2o11]

I appreciate your transparency in changing your decor when it doesn’t work out. So many influencers like to do trendy stuff but hardly show when they have a little change of mind ✨

[@cheesung2367]

i thought of that too. I specifically remember him saying that he liked the pop of red chord in the kitchen light, but I guess he’s grown tired of it, and him being able to take his word back on the things he originally said is such a rare thing for influencers and i admire it.

[@cucar8363]

I loved this house so much. So cozy and homey, well decorated. I was in tears when I found out it was destryed by the fire. So sorry Benji and Chris!! May the fututre be brighter!!

[@contempl8ive]

You have such a good eye, the moss, the lighting. Can’t wait to catch up on your past videos as I’m just finding out about them now. This feels like a phoenix moment. I’m going to tell a friend about you. We love plants and decor. She will love you too.

[@rbenjamin1429]

Bittersweet watching this. So sad for you 🥺 Your home was gorgeous. But I am glad you two and your animals are alive. They are so adorable playing together. 🥺♥️

[@TheShark380]

My thoughts are with you both!

[@xyz-pg3zd]

13:30 would love a space like that 😮

[@danieljl04]

this video made me feel as cosy as you looked in that last clip; your home is a dream! so inspiring, I hope u know how lovely it is to see such a lively and warm space, with the animals and the plants, and the lighting and the utility, not to mention the domestic queerness. you two give me much motivation :) x

[@priceandpride]

don't love the pendant light in your face in the kitchen

[@hazias9296]

💔you put so much love into your home

[@krystajung1441]

the little babies behind you the whole time 😭😭🥰🥹 oh my gosh. so freaking adorable. they love each other!!

[@krystajung1441]

ps the couch is amazing! awesome video as always.

[@em1701]

the glasses suit you SO well!!

[@antoniocarlosrodriguescamp1497]

So flattering...😏

[@AprilCastillo-g7e]

I’m watching this now knowing the fires are destroying so much including your beautiful house & plants. 💚 to you all. Glad you’re all safe.

[@dusty1754]

That couch instantly cozied up the space. You all look so comfy on it! Love the corduroy.

[@critiqueofthegothgf]

21:15 you must be trying to kill us with these scenes. genuinely cant take it anymore. too cute

[@7Jennifer]

That pet feeder is so neat. I had no idea they made one for wet food. Love the new couch! I miss the couches from back in the day that were so sinkable, but they didn't test/break the bank. In my ideal world, I would find an old school, in good condition couch and refinish it. Winnie's new scratcher matches the tapestry so well. Looks great in that area! I can relate to buying something for a cat and it being totally ignored. It's happened over, and over, and over with my boy. 😂 I adore the progress of Winnie and Theo's relationship. They are so precious. I am on the hunt for bookshelves like you have. If anyone has a lead, please let me know.

[@cherylj7460]

Have you tried ikea?

[@7Jennifer]

@@cherylj7460 I have. I'm looking for the same wood tone they have, and Ikea doesn't have it.

[@amorette8368]

PLS keep the moss terrarium in the book shelf 🙏 I think its one of the most alluring parts of the bookshelf, and I love how your bookshelves are uneven but still look organized and balanced

[@amorette8368]

wait i watched longer into the video, and the bookshelf does look pretty nice the way it is now, i like both

[@cheesung2367]

wait i think it is also one of the items that make their living room too, it’s sad that he changed his mind but yeah, the bookshelf still is pretty nicee

[@alexandra6864]

The new sofa fits right in. Practical beauty. Looks like it’s been there forever. If you haven’t already, look into Luis Barragán’s interiors; I think you’d like his curated style

[@RoseCagan]

I’m praying for you and your animals.

[@MarianneInmarsilia]

Yes the two lamps in your kitchen make all the difference. ❤❤. Stay cosy on that lovely new sofa of yours !

[@franziskas39]

I'm here to support your channel in these times of crises. All the best to you four!

[@critiqueofthegothgf]

I dont think you and Chris realize how amazing it is that you managed to land 2 animals with perfect personalities, both individually and together

[@mella-89]

You're so spot on about assessing your home decor - love the texture that the couch and lamp add to the space! I was also initially concerned about the couch blending in too much but I think the color works great, especially when adding in the blanket and pillow. Love seeing the dynamic between Winnie and Theo, the cutest!

[@amandahanna-doull762]

I think you have incredible taste Benji! I love how you put things together - I'm sure your spaces will keep evolving you have a natural instinct.

[@Melissa-iw8xo]

You are bringing me peacefulness and comfort. Thanks

[@moaborjesson1857]

I love the new sofa!! I think it makes the livingroom way cozier and more warm.

[@jedwards1792]

You explain your style choices so beautifully.

[@lazorbunny]

The new paper pendant light in the kitchen is like a cozy sun! I love it.

[@gordonissocoollike]

Lovely to see the little dog and cat getting along. As usual an inspiring mix of topics.

[@nothingmancer1607]

3:37 omg thats so cuteee

[@Abhinavkv-l2k]

"Absolutely love your ideas! Bringing the fireplace back to life will be a fantastic plan, especially with winter on the horizon. It will transform your living room into a warm and inviting space. I also recommend considering a sleek black tray for the coffee table to add a touch of elegance, or you could polish the fish tray for a refreshing update. These little details really tie a room together!"

[@JaimyW97]

This video is suuuuccchhh a warm hug

[@MWladimirovna]

😢 I always loved the little window into a fantastical mossy world inside your bookcase. it was so unique and unexpected. I get why you did it and with a closer look the moss really needed some tlc. I just miss that unexpected pop of "what is that?😮" in your living room. still, great video and thank you for sharing that little oasis of peace and calm with us

[@amorette8368]

me tooo

[@wandashaw3551]

I love love love your new sofa, and I totally understand your excitement I would really like to have it for my living room in a Forrest Green. ❤

[@priceandpride]

if there are only two seat cushions, isn't it just a loveseat?

[@coolprogamer0912]

@@priceandpride DUDE... ITS A FUCKING COUCH

[@lorrainemaccarelli4655]

Looks like Theo definitely loves the new couch. It looks very comfortable. I like the color too. You can add colorful pillows.

[@candysantarcieri4694]

woww I have just came here by chance, what a lovely home...very calm vibes you have, all the place is charming and you and your babies

[@craigo2142]

I loved the "kids" playing in the background. Nice family.

[@monexistent9668]

your videos are truly the light of my day

[@Music_lover159]

Your voice is very calming

[@rosamunddyermezzo]

Petlibro is such a smart purchase. Was at a Friendsgiving and was talking about our cats, of course, and my friend realized that she hadn’t fed hers before leaving for the night. With Petlibro, that would never be a problem. I have their kibble one, and it holds like a month worth of food in there. So when I leave for a longer period of time, and have a cat sitter, it’s one less thing for them to worry about, and they can focus on playing with the cats instead. Win win! ❤

[@annieyang1772]

Your video is so calming and healing :)

[@user-vq3lk]

So cozy and what an inspiration for me to wake up and finally clean my place!!

[@fonzisalgado512]

That plant room wow!

[@nemuneko5155]

Watching benji home updates while doing pottery in the studio is so comforting

[@zchangam]

The couch is perfection; it fits your home so well. Nothing says home like a welcoming couch, really! Love all the updates and seriously jealous of your lighting for the white shelving area. I'll look back through your vids to see what you used; it rocks.

[@beblue3119]

Benji those lights in the kitchen and new sofa bring me so much joy they are super super cosy :)

Your home is beautiful! Love the window views.

[@Poucha13]

The perfect way of starting a Sunday ❤ thank you for all the effort you put into your videos

[@bubbles577]

I love the all your house decorations!! and obviously Theo and Winny 😍😍

[@breakfastclosed]

love everything! the white trim was such a nice difference. I enjoy the lightness of the new couch more than how dark the other one was. I have lots of boho furniture in my house, I am a sucker for wood and rattan. it can be really beautiful and timeless when mixed with the right pieces. so love that lamp, and also all the lighting on the bookshelf. I love the warm, orange glow of salt rock lamps, I wonder if that's something you'd ever incorporate. can add a beautiful natural texture and glow. i notice all your lights are similar in tone. i love bringing color in with lights since they can be turned on and off when you need a mood shift. really changes the atmosphere and is low commitment!

[@lucasbrady585]

Literally no shade at all but I love the 30 y.o. mom vibes of this video. I'm in my yoga mom era fr and watching a 20 minute video about a couch and a lamp is exactly what I needed. You ate 💅🙉❤

[@Gisoo-iv8nf]

You look so cute with your glasses,I like it on you. Your video was what I needed after a long day. Thanks Benji💚🪴 and the ending felt so cozy,loved the vibe🥹

Love your new couch! Corduroy is my favourite. Furniture needs to be comfortable 🧡🌿

[@monicammandujano4781]

I am obsessed with your fur babies.

[@mirjamprochnau6479]

I know this would be another big ticket item, but I think a darker rug may ground the living room nicely. Love all your updates! :)

[@jacobcosquer]

I love how curated and personal your home is, how it's always been. Would love to know where your rug is from!

[@heini22]

You can try catnip / catnip spray to get Winnie interested in the scratching post 🐱 I LOVE the new couch btw! 🤍

[@carmensiordia7097]

Loved this video but I will need to watch this over again. Too much cuteness from Winnie and Theo-I couldn’t focus on anything else!😂 No complaints❤ Oh and by the way-love the glasses!

Omg ... Theo enjoying the couch is such a cutie piece

[@BethBearclaw]

Hi Theo, Winnie and your parents,, Benji and Chris. You have built such a peaceful and untangled life. Congratulations. I like that you allow us into your heads ,your thought process and reasoning. To me , it shows you care more than just to skim over life. I am 62 and have just come to be comfortable like this in my life. Watching your families lives together is also such a delight. The way your mother and father flow in and around your lives is very loving. Thanks for all you share!
