Benita I had a "friend" who came to my new home and for the first 10 minutes all they did was point out all the things they would have done or "how they could never live in such a stark/cold home". I told them I will do them one better and that they will never have to be subjected to such offensive surroundings and that the front door in which they walked through was an exit as well. Let us remember that the button reads "comment" not "critique".

[@BenitaLarsson]

Luckily we're going into spring so I won't need the lights much!😅

[@sophieschoices9663]

​@@BenitaLarsson cant you just change the whole switch system...It might always be at the back of your mind even if you dont often use the lights, think it might be worth changing it up if you can so it stops bugging you! That would be the kind of thing that would annoy me so I completely get you! The flat is beautiful and spacious, I like how you've kept so much of the previous furniture and just repurposed it/are using some pieces in different areas etc Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@geeb4994]

I have something similar for my lights. But just like your system Benita, my system is also somewhat unpredictable and only seems to work when it feels like it !!! Hmm

[@pattysperfectday5397]

When we first moved into our house the bedroom light was on the same switch as the ceiling fans. If you turned off the lights you turned off the fans. It was summer and hot so we needed the fans to sleep so every night I had to climb on the bed to unscrew the lightbulbs so I could turn off the light. It was a joyous day when we finally got that fixed.

[@BenitaLarsson]

Haha, I can see you doing your thing before going to sleep🤣

[@mynamename5172]

We recently found (were found by) a stray cat who is a dead ringer for your tuxedo. He even has that little side moustache white mark. He is on the couch with me right now, looking fat and happy, apparently adjusting very well to his new indoor life and really enjoying his new human servants. Your apartment is lovely and the neighborhood looks fantastic.

[@BenitaLarsson]

Aww, the half stash👌🏻

[@debbiepalmer1094]

I'm so pleased he found you. x

[@joannalewis8623]

You treat Bonus the same way I treat mine, with the nose bumps and the ‘here, I think you’d like to look out the window, let me put you on your perch!’. It’s nice to feel like you have a real connection with the cat, isn’t it ? I can’t wait to see you transform your beautiful appartement to a light and airy place!

An all white kitchen, with a light grey marble counter top, like in your last apartment will look great! I can see how frustrating it must be to keep wiping those mat cabines. Also about the electricals! Once you have all this settled, you place will be awesome.

I'll try to save the existing counter top because I really like it but there are no guarantees that it won't break when they take the kitchen apart. Fingers crossed!

The location is so great!

[@jodrew1845]

You've just given me the info I needed to tell my landlord (I'm a renter) why I don't want a smart lighting system. Here in NYC they're becoming the rage but I personally don't want to have excessive technology throughout my apartment because I have no interest in making my living space more complicated than it needs to be. I'm so glad you posted this vlog.

[@Karincl7]

It s not complicated when it works, same as electricity actually

[@BenitaLarsson]

I’m sure other systems are just fine but I’m glad if it was helpful!

We have the Phillips Hue system and uses an internet connection with a Wi-Fi router to communicate to the individual lightbulbs with voice or programming. Otherwise turning the switch on and off works as well. It’s been awesome! Especially the color bulbs and dimming options. The one in this apartment sounds like an absolute nightmare.

[@nancychestnut8928]

Smart devices aren't always smart! Your lighting situation and cabinetry would drive me nuts. I like simple but efficient and it can ruin your whole day when those go wrong. But, lovely apartment and great neighborhood! Charming.

[@BenitaLarsson]

True words! Thank you!

[@TeeBoyd88]

I'm so glad you mentioned the ill fitting kitchen. It was bugging me too, haha. I really wish we had the large light switches in Australia. Ours are tiny, only one finger fits on the surface. Looking forward to the upcoming changes. So sweet to see Bonus getting cuddles.

I like the feature of a hidden exhaust fan and love the decorative crown moldings and the medallions around the ceiling lights - they add character.

[@veegee3291]

Hello Benita from sunny Austin, Texas! You have a wonderful apt that will be even more beautiful once you have the changes in place that make you happy. Disappointing that negative Nellies are even part of your community since most of us have so much in common regarding style and way of life as you. Your style, life attitude, and outlook continue to inspire regardless whether the paint color or lighting of your home is darker than it previously was. You will do what you like when you choose and that is awesome! Enjoy the season and I look forward to your upcoming videos! P.S. I'm curious: Do you miss the museum you used to take us along via A Day in the Life? Is it closer or further away from your new home? 🌷🌷🌷

[@BenitaLarsson]

Thank you! Do you mean the Museum of middle eastern antiquities? I go to lots of museums 😅 I haven’t been to that one for a while but it’s actually close to where I live now! I’m sure I’ll end up there with a friend soon again!

Hello Benita! 😃 I love your neighborhood - everything is walking distance, such cute shops! I really like the layout of your new place - lots of light! I love the color of your kitchen - I guess I like dark and gloomy - but there is enough light for me. I love rainy days, maybe that explains why I love that color. ❤ The changes that you will be making to your kitchen area will look beautiful! Having to use the app for my lighting would be frustrating for me, at the very least - I would not like it at all. Enjoy your day, Benita 🌸💮🌸

My goodness, people are so odd. Sorry that they bothered you about light in a Swedish apartment. I am glad that you addressed it so that people will think about cutting you (and everyone) slack all of the time. Your new home is lovely and I hope that you can fix the app/light switch situation...that would make me bonkers too.

[@susandevine3907]

We were kind of spoiled by your last apartment because you have such an eye for decorating, as well as being a talented DIYer. It will be interesting to watch you make improvements to your new-old place 🏡.

[@darlenechandler2403]

I know what you mean, my friend’s home in Canada is all on an app for the heating, so he can put the heat down and up when he is away and have it just right when he comes home.

I actually like the color of the kitchen and the bedroom! It adds depth and character into a lighter apartment, also the color is very natural, as If you’re in the forest! 🌳 works well with all the wood furniture you have. I used to love white everything, but I’m so sick of it personally, so I enjoyed your new videos, that were a bit more contrasty. But light situation is absolutely disappointing, it would drive me craaaaazy.

I love the openness of your new apartment and the beautiful neighbourhood you’re now living in. I think that a white kitchen and lighter coloured walls will give the apartment a huge facelift. It will really bring the light in. I love your bond with Bonus. Now that Mini is gone, you’re probably forming an even closer bond than what you already had. I guess you’re both missing Mini. Also, from my experience, male cats are more demonstrative with their affection. ❤️🐈🐈‍⬛🪷

The lighting situation would drive me nuts too, I don't mind the rant! We recently were invited by friends who had connected LEDs in their flat and the lightning was so awful it made me feel sick.

It’s good to be in a place that feels so familiar and “ at home”. You know you even look more at ease and relaxed in your new space. I wondered about your nice tall windows and how weather tight they are. I noted your nice warm sweater as you went about filming. Here in Canada, I wear sweaters and a vest indoors alll winter long and often well into spring season. It’s often well into June before our weather is to be trusted without sweaters. Hope you have a lovely evening Benita.

Thanks Benita, I love and look forward to all your vlogs but this series about your move are particularly interesting to me. Talking about the best and worst is a great idea. I live in Australia and have lived in detached homes and units for more than 60 years. We are now working towards moving to an apartment closer to the centre of our city and our daughter and her family. Unfortunately, many apartments here are small and poorly designed. I really like older style apartments but they generally do not have an elevator and are common in the suburbs we are looking in. Your video gave me a list of things to look out for but your approach to the problem areas also inspired me. I love your creative and practical approach to turning a space into a beautiful, liveable home.

Thank you for the tour and was happy to learn about your future improvements to your kitchen. It sounds like it will blend better with the room. Also couldn’t agree more with you about the lights. I have been avoiding using the internet controlled lights for the very reason you demonstrated, that is too frustrating and defeats the purpose of having remote control. Look forward to your next installment and can’t wait to see the new kitchen.

Totally defeats having remotes!
