Because I live alone I rarely go out of my way to decorate or create the cozy ambiance you have. Your videos have shown me that it is just as important to feel good about your surroundings whether you are alone or living with others. Your apartment looks really beautiful and is an inspiration for me. Thank you!
Working from home during the pandemic has taught me that making my apt look nice makes a big difference in my well being. I hope you get inspired to do it as well
I do some chalk pen paintings at my kitchen window. A wreath with Merry Christmas in it or some cute little houses, snow... a holly or pine twig with Christmas baubles or candles... whatever I like that year. Looks stunning and can easily be wiped off in January.
Benita this has to be some of your best cinematography yet! So cozy and relaxing. I also love to use natural elements around my home for Christmas. Beautiful, classic decorations :)
i'm not a minimalist but i love watching their videos and there's something about the modern scandinavian style that appeals to me the most. its so sophisticated looking.
Im just through 2mins and 35sec of your video and I had to stop and comment. You are truly an inspiration, love watching your videos early in the morning, they are so calm and peaceful. Your Christmas decor is stunning! Got so many ideas!
Hi Benita, I absolutely loved this video, your decorations are so gorgeous. We decorate very different too as we celebrate a summer Christmas.🌲Sending you my best wishes. ⚘
I love your Christmas decor videos so much. When I saw this one come out I decide not to watch it immediately but rather save it as a treat for another day. And today I enjoyed the treat. The paper decorations are lovely. Thanks for the peace you bring with your videos. xx
I feel so inspired Benita. I only wish you would do a complete walk through tour so we can see all the individual pieces come together in a cohesive form. I adore your style!
The angled candle light is very unusual, love it. And the straight one, as well. I, too, am using up wrapping things, but I have a lifetime supply, I think. Clever use of the bags. Your minimally decorated tree is so pretty. Just lovely all around. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Omg Benita i love the simplicity of the white paper balls x I love the simplistic approach and hate anything over the top x greetings from Norfolk England xx
What a beautiful way to decorate - I love the garland that you put together with the white circles. Your gift wrapping is so simple, yet it looks so elegant - I wouldn't want to open the package. I did purchase some reusable gift bags this year - I went with simple white and black bags (very minimal designs on them). I am going to make the snow that you have hanging in the windows, such a great idea - Thank you, Benita! This video gave me a very warm, fuzzy, and cozy Christmas feeling.
Watching your cosy film, accompanied with a cup of tea and a piece of Dundee cake. Can’t really ask for more on a cold, snowy Tuesday evening. Thank you for the seasonal “feel good” feeling!😊🕯🎄Enjoy the inspirational time of advent 🕯🕯🕯🕯
Hello, I used to cut out snowflakes on white paper. Wrapped my Grandson's gift with tissue paper and added the snowflake to dress it up - very festive looking and fun project
Lovely video Benita, I love the less is more look. I'm loving the Scandinavian style of your house, calm, uncluttered, simple yet beautiful and cozy. Your house looks so festive, enjoy your lovely tree and decorations. 🎄✌❤
Yay! More Benita paper crafts!! I have made several of the ornaments from your Christmas video last year or the year before. Now I can make the cute balls and garland! I have also made a large paper ornament by a tutorial on Claus Dalby’s Instagram that looks a lot more intricate than it really was. I made mine all white, can’t find the two sided origami paper he said he used, but it’s still pretty. Also made some of the Danish woven paper stars, and that’s where I thought I would pull my hair out, they were confusing but I managed to make some!! Thanks for sharing your beautiful, serene home and customs with us!
Honestly Bonita is the only channel I like to watch, the content is positive and adds to my life, the music is relaxing and I watch over and over. Given the present stress we are all under I think we need to infuse our lives with positive influences. Thank you Bonita for doing just that. Hugs from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Loved these very doable ideas....especially the stack of 5 circles sewn together....I've got christmas paper card stock leftover from garland I had sewn years ago and knew some day I'd find something to do with that paper I love. Pulling my sewing machine out now. Good holiday and continued good health to you and your family🎄🟢⚪🟢⚪
I've so been looking forward to this year's Christmas decorations that you made. So simple and beautiful. I'm glad you decided to get a tree; it is perfectly suited to your home and your decorations truly made it your own. I love your Scandinavian traditions. I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday. xx
Brilliant re-use of the cotton bags into gift bags! I wish retailers would only send items ordered wrapped in compostable paper, but if I receive these in the future, I will try this idea! Lovely.
You are so inspiring! If I were single I would live similar to you. I love the calm simplicity. As I struggle to pair down my family Christmas decor collected over many years, you give me courage to eliminate more. I also love Organic Basics and their quality is wonderful! Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Lovely video! Still in the 80's here in the desert so the vibe is much different while looking at a Saguaro Cactus. My hope is to celebrate the holidays in London, Vienna and Stockholm at least once in my life. To all of you within Benita's community, I wish good health, good fortune and good will.
Thank you Benita, I love how you have decorated your apartment. Great inspiration. This year I have decided to have no glitter or foil for my gift wrapping and go Scandinavia style with brown paper & ribbon, simple yet classy 😊👍🏻
All year I make efforts to be more minimal. However at Christmas I just go CRAZY 😜 Lights on everything, red, red & more red. Decorations on every surface. It’s fun for about 3 weeks! Then it’s so amazing once I take it all down! Calm returns. I love ❤️ your style! Maybe one day I be able to fight off my inner crazy elf! Merry Christmas Benita, thank you for the gift of your videos all year long.
Beautiful and ever so relaxing. For wrapping I use the wrapper from the office copier paper. You can even have the little ones stamp the wrapped gifts, but it looks great with ribbon or coloured string and one of the old fashioned tags.
Hello Benita, It’s well past Christmas 2021, but I want to add my admiration of the simple and beautiful classic decorations you created for your home in this video. As I near my 7th decade I find myself steering more and more toward this very minimalist and simple style of decor. I so admire the clean lines . It allows it to shine for its beauty all on its own. Thank you for sharing your decor ideas but also your very peaceful presentation. It made me want to sit down with you for a quiet cup of tea.☺️

Same. But I have a lovely little nativity set that belonged to my parents that I bring out. 🎄🇭🇲
I love the process AND the result 😊
Same!

I need this lesson, as well. WE are people who love, enjoy + appreciate enrichment and beauty!!

I love the beauty in the simple... I always feel more grateful when we keep it simple... seems backwards but so so true
It really is! I feel the same way!
Love the background song 💟😍
I love that song too!
Modern. Minimalist. Merry.
I love that!🌲🙌🏻
Love the elegant simplicity. Inspirational.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

I'm so happy you enjoyed it!🌲
Tutto fantastico Benita ! Le ghirlande di carta e gli ornamenti sono di una semplicità e bellezza strepitosa !👏🥰🎄
Thank you so much!🌲
I love how your window sills have that slit that you can put electrical cords through! I’m inspired to do some paper crafts! Thanks Benita 😊
Go for it!🌲
I just went to Tesco As a half Swedish person I have always wanted the star for my window and their was one in the shop and I was so happy to get it.
Good to know that they have them!
I feel so inspired Benita. I only wish you would do a complete walk through tour so we can see all the individual pieces come together in a cohesive form. I adore your style!

I’m at the tail end of my old supplies. Still some ribbon left but I’m happy to do with way less.
Omg Benita i love the simplicity of the white paper balls x I love the simplistic approach and hate anything over the top x greetings from Norfolk England xx
Yay, so glad you enjoyed them!
Faithful as usual 😌 thumbs up 👍 before watching the video 🤭.... love ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦. That was lovely once again.
You're the best, thank you!

It shows definitely that less is more! Beautiful christmas climat in your home! I also go with minimal way of decorate - it looks much more festive!
Thank you so much!🌲
This was so beautiful, I watched it twice.
Aww, thank you so much!

Thank you for the lovely decorating ideas Benita!
Thank you so much for watching!🌲

Brilliant re-use of the cotton bags into gift bags! I wish retailers would only send items ordered wrapped in compostable paper, but if I receive these in the future, I will try this idea! Lovely.
They are quite useful! I pack electronics in them when I travel on the train. Keeps them all contained.
Stunning decor, loved every bit of it ❤ 🌲
Yay, so happy to hear that!

It’s such a great brand and I love working with them!
Lovely video! Still in the 80's here in the desert so the vibe is much different while looking at a Saguaro Cactus. My hope is to celebrate the holidays

The aromatic orange dust! How wonderful! 😍
Glad you noticed😊
Everything is simply beautiful and inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching!
This was so cosy to watch while having a very stormy snowstorm outside today ❄️
Glad I could offer a bit of coziness!
