Girl, I cannot get OVER you! If a disaster ever hits, you are going to be carrying on, making showers and fixing windows, and remaining totally chic! You are my hero!
Haha! I’ll be prepared!👊🏻
I so agree Amy…
Amen to that! 😅
Just enchanting!
I love the fact that you didn't wait for the house to be completely renovated before making it beautiful and comfortable. With pictures on the walls, pretty lamps, and a neatly made bed. 🧡
Being comfortable after working hard all day is pretty important. I did just have a sleeping bag on the mattress with furniture pulled into the middle of the room all through April and this feels like such a luxury😊
Agreed
And there goes Benita, winging her own shower. Girl, you rock. It's a good place, eh. 🥰
Thank you, that first shower was👌🏻
You are amazing! That camp shower you built not only is very functional but it adds to the charm of the place. I love your plants and the scenery all around. The house is becoming more and more cozy thanks to your dedication and work ethic. Great job Benita!
Thank you so much!😊
My dad grew up in a house very similar to this in Minnesota, with his parents and Swedish grandparents. They never did have indoor plumbing so I distinctly remember how my grandmother functioned in the kitchen and washed clothes, etc. My great-grandfather worked in his garden until he was 97. It was an active lifestyle!
Very active lifestyle indeed!
I grew up, and live now in Northern Minnesota and we did not have indoor plumbing until after I had left home. Outhouse in summer, chamber pot in winter, and either sponge baths or an old tub to heat water and fill up. Sometimes I'd stay with my grandmother in town and take a regular bath which was always fun. Not sure I'd want to go back to that but I wouldn't change any of it for anything. I think I was blessed more than anything.
I’m in Minnesota too, also with Swedish grandparents (great-grands actually). I dream of a rustic cabin like this to escape to, and wish I could find something this simple to rent for one or two weeks in summer. It’s so restful.

Weird…my reply keeps getting put on the wrong comment. This is meant for the comment above. 😊
The best natural alarm clock ever ---- roosters and sunrise!
Your creativity, great sense of practicality by making do with what you have is truly admirable. Thank you for sharing this episode 4 of your restoration journey 😊
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
The outdoor shower turned out great. The music was lovely. Just perfect for the country setting.
So glad you enjoyed it!
There's something about the rawness of an un-renovated home that has it's own unique beauty. Peeling paints, old windows, beautiful wallpapers... and I love how the painting above the bed adds so much richness to the bedroom. Simple things make such a difference.
They really do!
It surprises me so much to see you as such a rural girl after always seeing you as a city one! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 You're doing so well. It's so different out there. It's a beautiful house and such a great project. It must be very exciting. Looking forward to seeing more of it. Take care xx
My uncle and aunt had a farm in the black forest and I spend so many summers there. Feel very much at home in this rural setting😊
@@BenitaLarsson it's only because I'm used to seeing you in Stockholm xxx
I love the calmness of the place ..
My shoulders instantly drop when I’m there😊
Your sophisticated sense of beauty really comes through in this video, Benita. Inspiring
Aww, thank you so much!
So agree
You’ve made your summer house beautiful and practical already. Can’t wait to watch the transformation.
Thank you so much! Enjoying the process immensely 😊
Never did I ever think I’d long for an outhouse and outdoor shower🤣🤣🤣 Maybe it’s actually a simpler life that I long for😊
I know what you mean! It’s such a slower pace which is lovely.
@@BenitaLarsson Absolutely! And I have to say, I see so much beauty in the old floors, chipped paint, peeling wallpaper. I don’t know why but it’s just perfect. Thank you for sharing it with
us💕
Benita, I especially love the videos when you tell a story like in this one. Your summer house is so lovely, and through your words, the music, and the visuals you capture the feeling of the place so well. And your shower glow up is gorgeous!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Great video!
I love that putting up three walls and getting the shower up and running isn't considered a big job to you. 😂
You're incredible. What a full, productive day.
Glad you enjoyed it! I was pretty happy taking that first shower😅
Dear Benita! Thanks so much for your new video! I was quite excited to watch it and I am so impressed of the improvements you are making 🤩you are so talented 🤩I really do love the charming atmosphere of your summer house and I can imagine you are feeling so good in and outside of your house! Waiting for your next one! Take care and cheers from Iris 🌻☀️🫶🙋♀️
Thank you! It’s so nice to be there!
@@BenitaLarsson an oasis in this crazy world!🤗
I enjoy your videos all the time, but this one was absolutely breathtaking! Your summer home is perfect in every way. Even in its state of incompleteness, with your subtle touches of beauty, it shines. I love it! I’m so happy for the three of you! To do this with your son and his girlfriend is such a blessing. That outdoor shower…. You amaze me, Benita😍
Having this project with them is just so much fun!
Yay, it’s Benita day! 😊 can’t wait to see the improvements you make to your summer house. It is so charming already. ❤
It’s coming along nicely!
Wow, if ever there was a reminder of the pleasure to be got from the simple life. This looks like bliss Benita. Reminds me of our holiday in 2022 in Strysö, just a little island in the Archipelago, one little store and nothing to do but walk, swim and relax. You can tell how much you are enjoy this reno process and no better woman to get stuff done. Enjoy every precious moment.
It’s such a nice lifestyle out there!
Benita.... the artwork you hung above the bed is breathtaking.
It’s my favorite! Wille and Victoria snagged if for about 15 dollars at auction!
I'm so impressed. I absolutely adore the summer home. On camera, the wallpaper is so charming and the print you hung above the bed looks absolutely perfect. I love the shower that you built. I can imagine just how delightful it is to take a shower after working so hard in the garden. Thank you so much for taking us along.
The wallpaper is all hung so badly though. We tried to clean some of it up temporarily but none if it is staying long term.
@@BenitaLarsson I understand. In a few clips, I could see where some of the wallpaper is peeling away. I only meant that for the short term, and on camera, the wallpaper looks lovely - the colors and prints, etc. The whole summer house is coming along so nicely! May I ask if the chair you are sitting in while drinking coffee in the kitchen is from Ikea? It looks like one of their styles but so much nicer- at least what we can get in the States.
the light in your country home is so beautiful all times of day and season...the outdoor shower looks AMAZING!
All the windows make it such a great space!
Thank you for the inspiration. 🌸 Doesn’t matter where one lives, your lifestyle~~as demonstrated here~~provides encouragement to all. 🌸 Really, it takes so little to have a happy, productive life if one enjoys good health. 🙏🏽
I’m so happy if the videos is inspiring to you!😊
Tack snälla Benita. Jag har just nu en ganska tuff period och har svårt med motivationen kring mycket. Din video fick mig på humör igen. Lugnet, tålamodet och skaparglädjen du delar påminner mig om hur det kan vara och jag får ny inspiration och lust ❤️
I'm currently reading a book set in a rural area of a Swedish island and every time a house is mentioned, I imagine your summer house and the ones around it! It's also set in the beggining of summer, so this video was perfect to cater to my imagination!
Ooh, I love that!
What is the book please
@@ElleMuck The translation into English would be I will talk when I'm dead. It's by Anna Jansson
I love this summer house! You have created a space that invites us viewers to slow down and enjoy the fact that an outdoor shower and galvanized buckets and tubs are adequate for living a good life.
Thanks for much!
Back to the roots Benita ! Simple live, enjoying nature. Who takes care of Bonus while you are away ?
Yes! Wille looks after him in my apartment. 🐈⬛
I concur with the shower! I had a total hip replacement 2 weeks ago and was allowed my first shower yesterday. Glorious!!🚿🚿🚿
Oh, I can imagine! I wish you the speediest of recoveries!
I know the feeling, My knee was just replaced and I made it for a week before I got the saran wrap out and took a shower. Makes you feel like a whole new person.
I love your get up and go attitude, nothing holds you back. Your shower was genius. Well done girl 👏
Thank you! Having so much fun!
Your country home is so serene and life in the day of refreshingly peaceful. Thank you for sharing Benita😊
Thanks so much for watching!
❤I love the rebuild on your shower, you saved all the best bits of the old shower. You made the best of the gravel. The shower is lovely and so practical. Inspiring. Glenna
Thank you! So happy if it left you inspired!
Your summer house looks beautiful and I love the way you've transformed the outside shower. Hopefully you will have fresh strawberries soon.😃
I hope so too!🍓🍓🍓
The summer home is looking so good! 😘
Thank you! We love it!
Benita, I envy your resourcefulness and can do attitude. Great job on the outdoor shower! I really love watching your summer house come together. It’s absolutely lovely :)
Thank you, we love going there!
I love watching your videos; they're inspiring and remind us that we don't need as much as we think.
Thank you for sharing - such a lovely relaxing day with a bit of productivity sprinkled in. I love the solitude. Say hello to Bonus.
Thanks so much for watching! I do love tinkering there on my own😊
Thank you Benita for sharing this video with us. I was reminded of visiting my grandparent's home in India. We lived in the city and when we visited them for the holidays; we got to experience a different lifestyle much different to ours. Their lives was an extension of the natural world so everything had purpose and nothing was wasted.
I wish you all the best in your journey.
Also, the soundtrack for this video was beautiful.
There’s just something about the simpler life in the countryside. Hard work but still a different pace.
Benita, I have enjoyed watching you rehab and decorate all of your previous homes. I look forward to the summerhouse project.
Thanks for following along!
You’re living your best life! Everything you do is magic. ❤
I am! Thanks so much!😊
Hi Benita. Your country house is coming along nicely. It's in such a serene place. You're looking very relaxed when you're outside working. Do you miss Bonus when you go to bed at night? For years now, he's always been your cuddly companion at bedtime. ❤🌹🐞🐝🌻
I know he’s so happy with Wille when I’m away so I just embrace not being woken up by someone walking on me😊
@@BenitaLarsson 👍🙂
I look forward to you every moment at either house. Your simplistic life is something to look forward to seeing, for me, for sure! Love all of your content, the summer house is the best yet!
So glad you enjoy it!
Every day more amazed at your talent and determination. That shower just blew my mind, Benita ❤❤❤❤
Aww, thank you!
Benita jesteś niesamowitą osobą! Każdy powinien brać z Ciebie przykład. Dom letni jest coraz piękniejszy. Uwielbiam Cię oglądać. Pozdrawiam z Polski🙂
So happy that you’re enjoying the videos!
Dear Benita, you are simply amazing. Everything you touch, turns into a piece of art, a joy to look at and admire. Your skills in renovating, the everlasting joy for working and improving and the love for simple, yet heartwarming decor gives me pleasure, inspires and encourages me in my life. Thank you, Benita dear, you are my inspiration.
Greetings from Maribor, Slovenia
Aww, that’s so sweet of you to say!
Benita you are incredible, I really admire how nothing phases you. Your house is so sweet & how lovely to get out into the countryside. It’s so good for us a simple lifestyle. Thank you for sharing your house with us, best wishes Karen 🩵
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
It has become such a beautiful place where you have peace and relaxation.
It is a great pleasure to see how the house and garden are becoming more and more beautiful. Where is your cat when you are there?
Have a great time and best regards from Germany and thank you for this nice video 🙏🏼😘
Thank you! Bonus stays at home with Wille when I’m at the house.
Love the summer cottage. My favorite showers have been in wild places outdoors, Australian rain forest open shed, red rock camping, river trips. That music makes me so happy. I have added it to my favorites.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I have to admit that my image of you has changed since you and your friends bought the summer house. You are so imaginative and just dig in and make the most of what you have going on there in the moment. It is so interesting watching all the possibilities and dreams coming true. It will be a retreat of joy, peace and laughter for all of you! God Bless you and thanks for taking us along in this new adventure!💙👏
Thank you so much!
Much admiration Benita. I couldn’t do what you are doing, also I just wouldn’t. I am not that woman, it’s 4 stars ⭐️ minimum for me. No outhouse, no outdoor showers, nope, city girl, couldn’t do it. But kudos for your ‘just get stuck in’ attitude. You are amazing. 🥰
To each their own!😊
Omg! It's my favorite video so far.... lol... I say this to everyone of your videos 🤭 . That shower is amazing 👏.... Great job, Benita! Love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
So happy you enjoyed it!
Summer house Mary is really shaping up! The hardwood floors are lovely. You look very much at home and are such an inspiration to anyone tackling a home improvement project.
Aww, thank you so much!
What a wonderful, peaceful, creative, healthy life you are creating. I feel relaxed just watching!
I’m so happy to hear that!
I too felt so relaxed watching it, the video took me …and the music was perfect for countryside living. Benita’s videos are the best.
I love your "make it work with what we have" ingenuity! Slowly but surely you will have a lovely summer house. I almost wish I was there because I love this kind of work. So happy for you and your family.
I’m having so much fun with all this!😊
The background music is PERFECT!
Great video. Calming.
So glad you enjoyed it!
An artesian well (perforation from which water gushes like a fountain). A hose to give water to your strawberry. I love your work on the farm🍓🌿🍓🌿
Thanks for the tip!
Wow, it’s adorabile. Bravissima Benita!
Aww, thanks so much!
I am so loving this series with summer house.
So peaceful!
It’s so nice and calm there!
Un lugar con mucho encanto Benita! Disfrútalo ❤
Thank you so much! We really do!
Magnifique !!! Quel travail !!❤❤
Thank you! I don’t mind the work 😊
Me encantan este tipo de vídeos,estoy ansiosa esperando la reforma de la casa de verano.
I’m so happy you enjoy them!
What an inspiration! I am a new subscriber and absolutely loving your aesthetic.
The Farm house looks amazing so far, cannot wait for the end result.
I've binged some of your older videos and Bonus is adorable, can I ask what happened to the Tortie? 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️ 😺
Mini passed away in January 2023.
@BenitaLarsson 😢 omg I'm so so sorry. I am cat mum to a tortie and I would be devastated.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer 🌻💐
What fun!!! Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for much for coming!
Oh my goodness, that tree outside of your summer home is so lovely with those white flowers at 2:18! 🤍
It was pretty stunning! There will be SO Many apples on it this year!
So much positive energy, thank you🎉
Thanks so much for watching!
I love the background music!
Je passe toujours un bon moment tous les 15 jours devant vos vidéos, alors merci😊
Merci! Thanks so much for watching them!
So exciting! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for watching!
this sounds like heaven ❤❤❤
It’s such a calm place. My shoulders instantly drop when I arrive!
It's really coming along, Benita. Great job, as always. Can't wait to see what autumn looks like there. Should be beautiful.
We did get a fair bit done already which feels great!
The house is so inviting. I love the rustic feel it has. I’m so impressed with the shower you built all on your own. It has to feel like such an accomplishment and oh so satisfying.
There are so many satisfying moments in this house!😊
Wonderful video! So relaxing and calm! Thanks for sharing
So glad you enjoyed it!
This was so relaxing to watch , I do admire your skills
So happy you enjoyed it!
I am smiling to myself at the joy of your shower. Bliss!❤
Such a great shower!
I love all your ideas to improvise things. Thanks for sharing it.I cant wait to see the next projet.
Glad you’re enjoying the series!
I love the fact the the house isn't all renovated yet, countryside houses which look a bit run down give antique vibes and a strong sense of rural life which I love!
I lived 10 years on an island countryside and I miss that life so much! Being waken up by birds and squirrels is priceless 😊
Enjoy your peace and the beautiful nature dear Benita, ciao a presto 😊❤
I love it too that it’s got the old charm!
How lovely to be able to sit in your own garden and enjoy the sunny weather 😍
That lil corner is pretty nice when the weather is good!
So very inspiring Benita, house and projects so far are in incredible. Very excited to see more 😊
So happy if the video left you inspired!
Wow! You are a power house Benita! 👏👏
I loved. Excited for the next video.🌸😊
Yay! So happy you liked it!
Love your summer home and the surroundings are very nice also. Thank you for taking us with you on your trips there. Must be wonderful to be away from the city. Thanks Benita❤
I love that I’m able to have both. I do love the city too😊
Such a lovely place. I’m feeling real joy watching you fix it up and enjoy it.
Thank you so much!
You did a great job Benita! It's a beautiful and peaceful place for the summer 😊❤
Thank you so much!
This is so beautiful Benita. The bedroom looks so cozy and I am amazed at the shower you built. You will have a wonderful summer. Thanks so much for sharing! 😘
Thank you so much for watching!
Love this video. Full of life and color!
So happy you enjoyed it!
Eres una artista!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 cuando la termines será fabulosa!!
Aww, thank you so much! Not sure if it will ever be totally finished since there are SO many projects to work on😅
Happy for you and all family could feel your illusion and happiness 🥰
Thank you! It’s a lovely place!
Fascinating! The background music is enchanting. I love it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That shower! You are amazing!!!
I admire so much how talented you are at all of the handiwork you've done yourself on that beautiful house! 🩷
Thank you so much!
Idyllic! Satisfying work, calm nearness to nature, blessed solitude. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching!
Bellissimo progetto! Seguirò con entusiasmo. Sei bravissima 👏
Grazie mille!
Your lovely SummerHouse is coming along nicely It’s great that your able to live in it whilst working you have already made it cozy just a few touches with the painting and mirror . Enjoy your outside shower.
Thank you so much!
Your achievements are awe-inspiring xx
Aww, thank you so much!
Glorious. You have done so much at your summer home. Love the shower. What a restful and relaxing place to be.
My shoulders instantly drop when I arrive!
I love a nice outdoor shower. So soothing watching this Thanks.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Love these summer house videos!
Yay, I’m so happy to hear that!
Love theartwork and the music you chose as well.along with planting the berries and flowers just a really nice video. Again thank you so much for taking us along.
Thanks so much for watching!
Wonderful video! Everything you do adds a little more cosy comfort to the summer house. My daughter has a summer cabin and has just added a pine bunkie for extra sleeping space. I can’t wait to go there in a week or so. It is by the ocean and the setting is very calm with lots of trees around. Enjoy your visits with your family there.
It’s getting quite comfortable there!
