Details and information are in the description of the Partiful link. I hope to meet some of you there! I might bring Theo if my mom is able to make it and watch Theo the entire time lol.
can you please do collab with @lonefox for his outdoor space , it would be perfect
I kick my feet and giggle when Benji posts
I swear me now 😭😭😭
me too
LITERALLY😭BENJI IS MY DRUG
Me af
Meeeee, perfect vid while I cook dinner 🍽️ 💖
Wow! It was beautiful before but now your place is out of a high-end interior design magazine! I love the room without TV and the area with the desk is so serene now!
I could see Benji and Chris putting a projector up since the TV didn’t work out. Something about a projector is so cozy.
I love getting notifications of your videos, whenver im having a bad day or just want to relax, i watch your videos and it makes everything better!! Ty
I like the bookshelves the same as the wall. Paintiing them a contrasting color will make them stand out and might cause it to look busy again.
You should do a plant tour with Summer Rayne too!!! That would be so cute!
yassssss plssssss
she doesn't seem to do many home tours anymore, shame because its her best content imo
I love the monstera against the brick! It’s a nice mix of industrial with nature.
Benji you have done quite a bit in a short time.
A few suggestions;
- Bathroom has lots of potential. A paint job, tub curtain, decorative towels. And peel and stick tile 🤔
- I would swap the bedroom rugs. Add one more pillow to the beds and fold down the duvet for a neater look. Add a swag light near the monsters along the bricks. Lastly.. 😄
- Swap outdoor couch placing so it's not under the fig tree. Figs release latex Sapp. Shade cloth is a great idea👌🏻 Looking forward to the reveal.
BenjiPlant X Paige Wassel is going to be the greatest crossover of all time
Congrats on being chosen for the home tour, Benji! Don’t stress! Keep it livable looking. Be honest with your cleaning and decorating for the home tour. People love seeing how other people live and function in their homes.
For your “elephant in the room": have you thought about just taking down the plywood covers? Maybe turn them into more shelving, like mantle shelving flanking the fireplace? I would expose the brick fireplace and paint them white or some other color other than black. Then rehang that mirror and/or add one of those MCM golden sunburst wall decorations.
As for your tv, have you considered getting a Samsung Frame TV? Samsung also sells magnetic frames you can stick to the edge of your Frame TV to give it that “hanging picture” illusion. From there, you can have your Frame TV display art on it when not in use (from their library or uploads you can add).
Also the staircase, have you thought about repainting the steps? That black paint really makes your stairwell quite dark/gloomy. Or maybe strip off the paint, sand them down, and recoat them with a stain/varnish to enjoy the natural grains?
In your primary bedroom, your Monstera deliciosa looks fine there. I feel it’s that exposed brick that “hides” your plant. Paint that brick white (to match the wall) or another color to help your plant stand out better.
You did good
- Never expose your back to so much glass, you'll feel like youre being watched or not in control. Flipping the desk makes you able to view the windows. Same applies to that chair you moved away
- Never block the door way, especially during an emergency create a clear path
ooh, i really wish paige would give you more time - you guys just moved in!
i hope you dont have to rush just for her vid and can still enjoy the process of the new house slowly coming together - that time is so special and personal and creative. 💭🌿
i had the same thought^^
To prolong garden furniture life using covers is a night is a good thing to do. Not only protect it from a sun,wind or rain but plant and animal damages.
The bathroom is not too bad, love the tub ! you probably just need a new vanity! It’s different it’s not like everyone else!
That plant looks great in front of the brick. For behind the bed...a stretched section of fabric that has the colours already in the room....and dragon flies birds etc to accent the fabric print pattern. YOU can still add some oil paint onto it when you get time & feel the urge. Beautiful fabric can have many lives over time so $$ well spent.
🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂
Thank U Benji for sharing ur home.
Lots of good ideas on the way...I myself love greenery but so allergic to dirt & grass 🤭 So I have a wonderful Gardener & makes me smile when the job is complete. The backyard was my Moms pride & joy🌳
That balcony space looks beautiful so far, excited to see what else you do with it!!
OMG I started following you for plant reasons, but there’s a Paige Wassel connection!?! Now I’m fully in lol Also you should totally paint.
I’m so excited for the Benji home tour from Paige!!
You really have the home of your dreams! 💚 Congratulations, you deserve it. ☺️
Hi Benji, I like the changes you've made and the curtains certainly softens the room. Since you've taken out the "bulky" side cabinet a "slim table" or vignette with a shelf and mirror may work since there is an entry door? Love the display of plants that you so lovingly potted! The outdoor patio area is nice...all of your work(s) in progress, I know, will be beautiful! Btw, maybe LED bulbs/lighting may illuminate the bathroom. A plant swap is so cool!!
i think putting the monstera from the bedroom into your dining room, kinda replacing the dracena marignata, would be quite nice. your dining room has a lot of straight, hard lines and is pretty symmetric. breaking that up with the rather round, organic leaves of the monster might make the room feel more "flowy". the plant could pose as a contrast to dining table, door-frame, cabinet, window etc. and would look nice next to the round lamp. also, i LOVE the combination of dark monstera green with red, your chairs pretty much carry the effect i'm thinking of. the color of the pot would also correspond to the rather dark pottery on the cabinets shelves.
I knew it! You were a perfect candidate for the PW home tour series. So glad you guys are collaborating❤🎉.
that dusty blue would look darling. great choice.
Omg the art for the plant swap poster & the shirt is too cute 🥹
Thanks for that slower paced video. It’s made me think about how to,improve my own Home. With simple ideas.
In the bedroom, you could make/get a state of the art headboard and some nice night lamps over it. Love your home and started watch your channel when you moved there, so I'm not here for the plants but love them anyway. Also I LOVE your travel vlogs.
You could paint the brick wall white to match the wall (if landlord doesn’t mind) it would make the space look bigger for the bedroom :)
You should get a beaded curtain for your closet in the upstairs bedroom maybe one that match the bean bag Theo jumps on ☺️
I'm really hoping this changed Paige's mind on having more plants than normal. 👀
You should definitely paint the yellow bathroom! It will look so much better with a fresh white paint or something a less warm!
1:25: My favorite space. Love how the windows are tall and cover these two walls, the view into the outdoor space and, of course, your plants!
Where is Theo?
Ha, ha. He was so quiet. Didn't see him down there😅
I feel like you could put a headboard behind the bed in the upstairs bedroom. If it's the same depth of the fireplace, you could position the bed in the middle of the wall. Might have to be a DIY or the headboard would extend more on the right side of the bed, but i think it would look interesting and solve the bed placement issue 😊
as always i love your style and how well you explain your decision porcess ❤
Oh also- regarding your privacy/neighbor issue. I thought perhaps you could plant some CLUMPING BAMBOO along the border of the neighobor's yard, to prevent them from seeing into your living room, and create more of a private oasis in your backyard. You could even hang some of your Hoi An lanterns out there, and put solar lights inside of them. (I have done this and it works great.) It would be lovely?
Nooooo never plant bamboo
Love the living room changes! I really like the monstera in your room though!! Think it looks perfect against the brick!
while I do like the Robin's egg blue, I think you should go with an even deeper navy blue color for your shelves. I think it would look so good!
Adorable vid of your home. It seems more spacious now. I really like all the furniture rearrangements. Don't do too many makeovers since you are renting. You can save for your own home eventually.
That’s his channel of course he’s going to do renovations
All these people on here given a opinions about how you should redecorate your home!!!!! Young man do what makes you happy!!!!! And don't let nobody else tell you otherwise!!!! They're not living in your home 🏠
Love the big windows you have downstairs great for plants. And love your large balcony upstairs good to entertain with family and friends. I do love a big kitchen. Since spent alot of time cooking there. For me looking for a home i like big windows alot of natural light. A big sitting room, kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. Like a guest bathroom too downstairs. At least two big bedrooms the smaller ones can be study room or a hobby room or a child’s room. If no garden definitely a big balcony space.
Benji, I have question, just out of curiosity, do you plan on selling your passaflora props again? Maybe after you settle in more with your home? After seeing it in your apartment it really made me want to get one but so far you seem to be the only seller. Just wondering though 😊,
Btw, your house and plant collection is like a dream to me! And I really am going to try to make it to the plant swap but I do live a couple hours away.
Never been this early I really like all your warm lights they create such a nice atmosphere
That's such great news. Love Paige's vlogs too
i love the curtains! really fits the design of your home ❤
Love the house. Especially all the windos. Great vids.
I want to be Theo! I love your new home and WOW what a wonderful living room and view!!!! You guys did good.
You Made My Day Always, Benji Everytime I watch Your Vlog.
Awesome Excitement
THANKS A LOT.❤❤❤
try swapping your monstera in the bedroom with the dracena from the dinning room?
I think the black chair looked really good at its original place. The room looks heavier to me now and it doesn't flow as well. I'm not sure if the room needs to be divided that way. The carpet and the way the furniture is arranged is already creating division in my opinion. That's just my perspective :)
(Maybe it doesn't feel weird sitting against the window if the curtain is pulled so it 'protects' the back?)
Hey Benji, as a plant mama i struggle a lot with plant flies, i tend to spray the soil with specific chemical and stick stickers that they attract the small flies coming from the soil. With so many interior plants in your house how do you deal with the flies?
benji in every other room ..imagine this place with plants 😂
About the curtain from Korean shop,
It's called 'bozagi' and a piece of big fabric for wrapping stuffs inside ( kind of Korea's old traditional thing) That curtain is a kind of patchwork of bozagi.😊
You have done a beautiful job on your home. Looks great!
Love your home Benji! I think a little paint and permission from your landlord for a mini bathroom reno would make your home complete! I know you're not fond of it, but I see alot of potential! I know you can make it work with your magic! :)
I love what you have done with your home..
Definitely a feng shui thing 🤌
Babe wake up, benji just posted
That blue striped shirt is so cute
Love the updates you’ve done with the house. Of course one can’t be completely finished with decorating as things change sometimes at a rapid pace or you decide to go a different route in your decorating style. Btw, Lone Fox here on YT is looking for help with plants for his one year old home. He just posted his courtyard update and has a bunch of pots that need plants. Reach out and maybe you can have a collab with him as you’re about to have with Paige. 🤗
Paige and Benji at the same time?! The anticipation might do me in… I feel like we just got news that a unicorn is coming to town.
I CANT WAIT TO SEE PAIGES TOUR!! Eeek
Love Paige Wassel, can’t wait to see the video!!
You are so adorable ❤
Benji have you thought about getting a projector instead of a TV? For years I've been using a projector as my TV because I don't like the look of TVs and I honestly mostly watch movies or TH-cam.
Love the changes!
I put my wires in baskets :) cute and useful
Big honking piece of driftwood on the wall of the room
A rustic vase short and puggy.
Lovely plants 🪴
My friend, thank you for good sharing 😊
Like it
How do I keep missing where the Korean patchwork curtains are from? I have replayed it so many times 🥲 could I possibly get a link?
A beautiful headboard would be nice
i love Paige Wassel! her channel is amazing
I love your room. I think the round ceiling light is a little bit big for the room. Super cute though ❤
I agree, when I brought it into the room I was like uhhh I think I need a taller ceiling. I’m thinking of switching it out but I’m just going to passively search for a better fitting one since this one is “good enough” imo. I will say that it looks bigger on camera than in person though!
Thank you for uploading
Yooooo the benji-paige crossover is coming
hi! where did you buy the black lamp in the wall of the living room? love it or what is the name of that type of lamp? (english is not my first language)
your videos are so calming, ty! Where do you get your bean bags? I think my pup would love to have one as well 😂
They’re muji beanbags. The best beanbags I’ve ever had and they’ve retained their shape the 2 yrs I’ve had them
is that tree a dracena reflexa?
Watched you through Paige wohooooo, thank you for sharing, subscribed of course, please could you give me details on sound microphone stuff please, starting new channel, looking forward to quality sound. Please share and advice ❤
Lovely video! Do you mind linking to that Pojagi curtain site? I’m having trouble finding it 😅 thanks in advance!
Hi can i get the link of bed room bojagi curtain please?
14:33 did that piece fly near the camera?
Where is the rug in your living room from?
Hello fron Brazil 😊😊😊😊
New plant tour lol.
Looking forward to the collaboration/ visit with Paige. Adore the bedroom window panel. Tried to find the Design Meme store online. No luck. If anyone has a link I would like to check them out 💞

@@peytonmistler8765 Thank you!
Hi!
Can’t find this Korean curtain store. 😢 please, help
Design meem
You should give a room for Paige to work on. Would be another great collab idea.
Ooooo! Great idea!
Maybe the little bathroom could be one of the rooms? See how the little room can be transformed?
What do you think?🤔

I feel like we need @dearmodern to figure out your bedroom, it's such an awkward shape!

Greg stop
I believe landlord is for man and landlady is for woman.
Chinese Medicine and FengShui hat here:
Without following the dragons breath, evaluating the shapes and forms, seeing your facing direction and aura of your home, I can only give you very basic pointers...
Kriss' room is jarring! In comparrison to the rest of the house... it is dark gloomy and a haven for dust mites created by warm dusty computers and plushies. It is recomended Kriss have his computer desk facing the command position. Also the beam over his head is called an oppressive influence and keeping your head under a beam like that is best to be avoided. A curtain should not be installed because that is just compounding the afformentioned issue with the current use of the space.
Fengshui is a land based art, and there for, your garden and the state of your soil is more important than any indoor or potted plants. The oldest transcription describing yin and yang in the chinese classics describes a sunny side and shaddy side to the mountain. Survey and sit on the land with this in mind. It is imperative to amend the soil. Check your directions and understand your views.
Also, I advise against hanging art behind your bed. A solid wood headboard is the appropriate cure.
In health related terms Kriss is a person pressenting as someone struggling with his fire energy and this is presenting itself as trapped fire in your home presenting itself in Kriss' room. Also, Benji focusing his energy so much on plants might be an attempt to feed his partner qi however it may lead to more long term succes for you each to support your own elements. For example: water feeds wood and wood feeds fire. An example of wood feeding fire would be a sturdy desk that has support from light and fresh air with views that are straight forward easy to begin to digest.
There is some kind of allegory or pathetic fallacy about returning to your home to find your backyard parched after your travels epecially considering one partner having felt sick.
Jesus christ on a bicycle can you just not
@@annamattes6771Actually, this is better; you just ask, "Jesus take the wheel..."
:Then let go...
Why did I think you were getting married 😂😭💌
Benji and Paige!! My heart is melting.
