when you said you were not keeping the armchairs I said "NOOOOO" out loud. I had no clue I could be bonded t o someone else's furniture!

[@BenitaLarsson]

Haha, that's so funny!🤣

[@stargazer1359]

😸

[@violetxoxox]

Same. And same for the bedroom cabinet, the dining chairs, the patio furniture, the entryway cabinet… I guess that’s why Benita has a minimalism channel and I don’t. I have trouble letting go of anything. 🤣

[@munkty]

Glad I wasn't the only one! I went off into a dream wondering if they'd be on eBay and how much they'd cost to ship to the UK, ignoring the fact that I don't have the space or the money for them ☺

[@karencallender]

Me too! 😂 I couldn't believe what I was hearing! I thought, there'll be room in the kitchen!! When you sat in it and spun around, I thought, you're definitely going to miss that!! 😁

[@TeeBoyd88]

It's so cute that you included Mini & Bonus' personal items in your moving list. I hope you have a great time sourcing new purchases for your home. Thanks for sharing a sneak peek of your new home.

[@BenitaLarsson]

I’m really excited to source some different pieces for this place!

[@TeeBoyd88]

@@BenitaLarsson I really like that coffee table too! well done for asking the Seller.

[@robinkelly7444]

I'm so delighted for you, Benita! How wonderful to be closer to friends and Wille! Looking forward to watching you Benitafy another space ☺

[@BenitaLarsson]

I’m so excited for that part too!

[@curveappeal8180]

The few photos of your new home are so lovely. I admire your decision to find an older home rich in visible historic details ❤ It looks like you hit the jackpot. Can’t wait to see more this winter.

[@BenitaLarsson]

I wish I could share more already but as soon as I can I'll share more!

[@karenf8470]

Congratulations! Add my enthusiasm for your news to everyone else's here, Benita.This armchair traveler is enjoying the ride, and I truly admire your ability to let some things go in favor of the new home you'll be creating and adapting for how you want to live now. This is a testament to paring down, surrounding yourself with what you most want and need, and to fresh starts. Someone is very lucky to be moving into your lovely modern apartment, but how exciting it will be to cross the threshold of a magnificent 100-year-old building every day. Best wishes, and thanks for taking us along!

[@danalasmane6191]

Congratulations! That's a nice area, I was walking there a week ago when I was visiting my boyfriend in Stockholm (he lives in Kungsholmen). :) I really appreciate how lovingly some (or many) of those beautiful pre-war buildings have been restored in Sweden. It's not always the case here in Riga, Latvia, where I live, but I hope that we're learning.

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thank you! I’m excited to be living in that area again! It’s been a long time!

[@gattitudine]

The old patio will be missing in my heart

[@aprilsmith1166]

Congratulations on having found a new apartment to your liking etc! 👏👏👏 Very best of luck for the forthcoming months whilst everything comes to fruition! I look forward to seeing your new home in due course. And thank you for letting us be a small part of your life, your videos are always relaxing and inspiring and belie the hard work which (I'm sure) must go into them!

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thank you so much for follow along!

[@sylviesherman4797]

So happy for you. NEW is always fun. Unfortunately, you have to sell those cool armchairs from the 70's. Someone else can enjoy them. That was super interesting how you itemized all your belongings into the keep, sell, or give-away categories. Another great video. Your future looks bright.

[@BenitaLarsson]

I'm ready for something different so I'm ok with letting them go 😊

[@penny3767]

Fresh starts are always so exciting! The new space is stunning, and I’m sure you will make it even more so. Enjoy the process, good luck, and congratulations! (As always, hugs to M& B. Can’t wait to see the new catio.)

[@BenitaLarsson]

The catio is the first task on my to do list!

[@doveandolive1153]

I was actually thinking about you today and pop here is a video! I'm very excited and happy for you, it is a lot of fun to redecorate and there will be so many changes. Love how Mini and Bonus will have all their stuff with them ♥ moving can be stressful for cats, thankfully you've been approved for a new catio!

[@BenitaLarsson]

I was so relieved when they approved it!🙌🏻

[@lisarhoades965]

Looking forward to you sharing this next chapter of life with us here in the community. Although I practice a minimalist lifestyle, when I downsized into my current home it was interesting that I managed to have a lot of moving boxes in spite of the decluttering I did months prior and all the way up to the moving day! When having a smaller home, it really does challenge your creativity and makes you consider future purchases. 🙂

[@BenitaLarsson]

I will have considerably fewer boxes this time! I think I had 80 boxes two moves ago, 60 in my last move and it’ll be interesting to see how many I’ll have this time 😅

[@anaalves3658]

@@BenitaLarsson I hope that you make a video on the packing and moving process. It always amazes me how much stuff we end up moving!🙄

[@vivian9803]

I’m convinced that our stuff multiplies when we are not looking! 😂

[@uexcited]

Wow your new place sounds amazing. Love all the old features. Also, fair play for such a detailed apartment shopping list, you really knew what you did want and didn't. So looking forward for the new content 🥰

[@BenitaLarsson]

I can get distracted by nice new builds so it was important for me to get my period details or I would regret it so much 😬

[@Deb.-.]

Wonderful, I did smile when I heard Mini and Bonus were packing also. Does the new apartment building have other storage area for you, similar to you current one? I never thought those lovely chairs in the lounge area would go, but then time for change and what fits in. Happy for you that you will now be living so close to your son and your friends. The time go quickly enough. 🙂

[@BenitaLarsson]

There is a storage space in the basement but much smaller than the one I have now!

[@Hazel_Fox22]

So giddy for you! I can just imagine you taking your time and picking out the exact right bits of furniture for your new space!

[@BenitaLarsson]

Yes, it’s going to be so much fun!

[@cornishsunflower963]

On your recommendation I bought a Muista stool, and despite the long delivery time, it was worth waiting for. I am a fidgeter, and it's nice to rock, and be forced to sit up straighter. I combine mine with a rising desk, so I am either standing up, or rocking, and it's much better, as I also work from home. Exciting news for the move - sad to see your armchairs go, but how exciting for a new start! Good luck with the move. Best wishes from Cornwall UK

[@BenitaLarsson]

So happy to hear that you’re as pleased with yours as I am mine!

[@larag1764]

I'm excited for you ! I hope the cats cope with the move. Congratulations on your sponsorship. Hi from Australia xx

[@MyFocusVaries]

Congratulations! I look forward to seeing the new place. Moving for a minimalist is so much less of a big deal than for a typical person--you won't be moving giant boxes full of things you never use!

[@BenitaLarsson]

I’ll have way fewer boxes this time!

[@ninapaternoster7084]

Hi I am fairly new to your channel but loving it! My issue is papers! Well actually growing up with over filled houses and knowing nothing else! ( Too much furniture, books, ornaments, plants, newspapers, books, photos!) But slowly I am getting there. The concept of a storage room in your apartment block is new to me here in Cornwall, UK. Will your new apartment have one in an older building? And a video of decluttering paperwork, magazines and clippings from magazines would be helpful to me.

[@BenitaLarsson]

So glad you’re enjoying my videos! I have touched on those issues in earlier videos but thanks for the suggestion!

[@olgar8742]

Congratulations on selling your apartment and finding a new one! It’s so exiting! Looking at you new apartment’s floor plan, if I were you I would make the biggest room the kitchen+living room, the second biggest room the bedroom and the smallest room the home office.😊

[@BenitaLarsson]

I have considered that!

[@shannabug31]

I just ordered the black wood with pink seat Muista chair! I'm so excited! Also congratulations on your new place! It sounds AMAZING 😁💖

[@BenitaLarsson]

Now this is SO exciting for all of us .. I hope you understand that you are taking all of us with you to your new home ... If you have spare time .. Please could you do a video about ' LIGHTING '... What sort of lamps in which room and how much light .. The nordic homes appear to have very little lamp light unlike the Brits who go all out to have lamps and lights every where .. I am going crazy trying to decide which lights to buy ..Esp with these new LCD lights such as FERMOB ..So as you go shopping for all of your amazing new furniture .. Please look out for lighting and advice us along the way ..THANK YOU in advance of the move ..

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@frithbarbat]

I'm planning a huge international move right now and I'm wishing my list was as short as yours. I don't have a ton of stuff, but what I do have is precious, and I'm putting myself through the psychological wringer trying to work out if and how to take it all. It's hard to find the things I need where I'm going but the cost of the move is very high, so I need to cull. Congratulations on your new apartment. It's going to be a long couple of months waiting to see it.

[@BenitaLarsson]

Exciting times for you as well then! Best of luck!

[@laurac56]

So exciting! I can’t wait to see what it looks like. The layout is exactly what I would want if I was on my own (no husband) and in a nice part of a city. Congratulations!

[@BenitaLarsson]

It’s such a great option to a “normal” desk chair, isn’t it!

[@littlegardener8414]

Congratulations. So looking forward to seeing your new place and what you will do with it. I was fascinated by your comments about the kitchen. I recently moved to a house with a truly horrible kitchen and was trying to plan a new layout but felt constrained to replace like for like. Your thoughts about not wanting too much kitchen has really changed my thoughts about what to do with my space - I now want to make it into a kitchen/dining/office space. Thank you x

Dear Benita, I am so happy for you, the new place looks lovely. Can’t wait until you get yet your new furniture for the new place. I know lots of people are aghast at you selling so many things, but I know it is a good thing to do different decorating on your new move. I am so happy, as I am sure you are to be now closer to friends and family. I can’t wait for you to take us to the shops and points of interest in your new area, as you did with us in this home. I too am living minimal and always getting rid of things. I firmly believe after inheriting my parents home full to the rafters of furniture and objects, that I would never live that way. I find I don’t need a lot of materialistic things to live. Use what I have and buy when needed. All the best again to you and I have been a follower of yours for a very very long time and cannot wait for this new chapter in your life. A senior and big fan from Canada.
