    The headboard was really impressive. I loved how you thought of using cheap white fabric for a liner, so the yellow didn't show through. The closet looks amazing. The outdoor space really makes the area. And I love what you've done for your cat. I love your videos. I never want them to end.

    That felt like three videos worth of yumminess. When you brought out that headboard I thought to myself "What on earth has gotten into Benita?" and almost exactly then you said "quesionable choice of fabric". Whew. I thought we'd lost you for a second there!

    First, I miss my cats. If you want to find a missing cat, make the bed. They will appear as if by magic. You talk to your fur baby…I love that!
    Second, I have always thought of myself as inventive in finding ways to get things done even though I live alone. Using shims under the door was brilliant. Making your headboard was inspired. And your balcony is very inviting.
    The Cincinnati Zoo also uses a thin metal fencing material in black to cage small creatures (birds). The signage noted that photographing the inhabitants through this material works well to get distant shots without the fencing being noticeable.

It is the first house for me alone and it is such a lovely little space - the whole house is about 50 sqm on two floors. It is nearly 120 years old with beautiful old floorboards and a tiled stove. So lovely! It earns to be treated well and now I know exactly what it wants me to do. It wants whitewashed floors and white clay plaster walls and it wants only the bare necessities.

    Hello Benita! I am so late to watching this video! I really enjoyed these makeovers - especially your CATIO! Hostas have to be my favorite - they grow so well in my shady areas, but what I love the most is all of the beautiful varieties of that plant! I have many Hostas in my garden mixed with different greenery - and a few blooming flowers for color. Such a great idea for your head board - love how you repurpose different items into beautiful useful pieces. As always, I enjoyed watching this very calming video - enjoy your week! 🪴🌺🪴

    Merci chère Benita pour les astuces : plinthes et tête de lit 👍 j'en avais besoin car j'habite dans une maison du XVI siècle certes rénovée mais à certains endroits les plinthes sont vieilles

    I'm moving house this year and when I visualize my new bedroom, it's the bed in your room that I most often see. While I like color and some patterns, whenever I watch your videos I realize white and less color would be the best option.
    I am also investing in a duvet. As an American, it's not the standard for sleeping but it makes so much sense.

    You did a wonderful job with the bedroom, love your new headboard. I actually did the same thing with a darker fabric headboard I have and did a slipcover of white. Like your new bedroom colour. I always buy sample pots and put a sample on the wall to see how the light reflects to chose a paint. Your balcony looks really nice and a nice place to relax and I am sure your cat just loves it out there too. Did like that you hung that painting on the right of your bed, very nice. Wonderful projects. Loved everything you have done.

    • @BenitaLarsson
      @BenitaLarsson  ปีที่แล้ว

    Benita, your attention to detail is what I enjoy about your home improvement videos. The gaps under the baseboards, the difference in paint colours, the catio netting etc. The end results are worth the wait. I love the new deck chairs & I can't wait to see the plants grow more & fill out the balcony.

    I had a similar problem with paint looking such a different colour in one room than another. We eventually decided it must be the light reflecting off the green ivy and trees outside the window that made the colours looks strange. After trying about 12 different colours, we eventually found one that worked perfectly.
