@@BenitaLarsson Dear Benita, I am so sorry for your loss. I know Mini was as a family member for you. I hope the thought that she lived a very full, long happy cat´s life and was loved alot - brings some calmness into your soul in these days... Please accept my condolences.
I normally shy away from commenting on appearance, but I was struck by seeing your hair back in your trusty clip. It feels like a small milestone and it made me smile. My husband, who transitioned to remote work during COVID and will not be going back to the office, has slowly evolved his own "end of workday" rituals that help him unplug, including a Zwift "commute." For a lifelong bike commuter, this has been a game-changer! So looking forward to your kitchen unveiling!
I am so sorry for your loss of Mini. My Chihuahua lost her partner last year, and I just love her up more in his absence. It has been such a loss for her and us.
Having just graduated from a month without a kitchen, I am in sympathy here. I too enjoyed the glamor of doing dishes in the bathroom sink, and microwaving everything. The walls in my place are masonry, so the grit and dust was phenomenal, and so abrasive. The nightly sweep or vacuum became a drag after a month but there was no way to avoid it. And now, when I see my kitchen every morning, it's a joyful thing. I do not take my kitchen sink for granted any more. In fact, I clean it carefully every night and am delighted to see it every morning.
Such a lovely comforting home you have for you and Bonus. Can't wait to see the kitchen reno! Love that you give Bonus kisses! He seems to enjoy them too!
Dear Benita, every other Tuesday, when I put my son to sleep, I turn on your long-awaited video on the big screen and enjoy it. Greetings from Serbia. ❤
"I don't have patience for movies" - same - maybe 2-3 a year. ❤ that you honor Mini by continuing to put out his food and water - small, beautiful ritual.
Hi 👋 from Scotland, your videos always make me slow down , breathe and smile and want to book a flight to stocholm ! It's on my bucket list ! Your new apartment is so full of character and it's lovely to watch you put your personal stamp on it ⚘️
Stockholm is well worth a visit! I have a little guide with my favorite places here if you’d like to check it out www.benitalarsson.com/blog/stockholm-guide-2023
I love seeing what people in Europe are doing and how they live and decorate. Greetings from NSW Australia where the winter temperature in my area, just north of Sydney never gets below about 10°C🇦🇺
I bought a house last year, we are still in the middle of renovating, it drives me crazy to live in the middle of mess and dust. I try to keep the bedroom tidy, I put back on the wall a decor item I bought when I lived in Stockholm a few years back. It's from Gamla Stan, I loved walking there every weekend after the week of work. Your videos remain me of my time in Sweden, I love it 🥰
Squeal!! A cosy cleaning, organizing, stepping-around-Stockholm video is just the thing to bring all the posi-vibes to my week...!! Thanks Bonita, your content is just totally antithetical to what's happing with all the unrest in our world at the moment, and is like a digital comforting hand on my shoulder... 💚
Hi 👋 I love how honest you are in your videos. Your evening routine and description of your night on the sofa are so real. Your pace of living inspires me to take a moment and spend time on what really matters. Much love xx
Hi Benita ! Looks like you and bonus are all cosy and settled in your lovely new home ! Not easy when renovating our homes but you seem to be totally at peace . Looking forward to seeing the finishing touches !! 🙈I also change my footwear when going upstairs ☺️We really do seem to be so alike ! Happy days ! Sending love from the UK 🇬🇧
Three cheers for the new kitchen .. That is so exciting.. Thank you for showing the quick trip for your supper... I love it when you show us places close by .. Hope Spring is with you all in Stockholm ... Sunshine just around the corner .. Thanks for this weeks fab video Benita and Bonus. PS..Love the new plant with the yellow ball things.
Benita, I really enjoy your content. I was wondering if you can make a video sharing your history of cleaning like when did it start and why? Your love for cleaning is fascinating.
We just redid our kitchen. A video version is so much less chaotic than the reality! The noise, the mess, the dust, the dishes, the food prep, and the timeline are all individual stressers. Great job of adding one more stresser: video documentation and still carrying it all off with style. I look forward to seeing the final product. I wish I could show you mine in return. It's green 💚😍
Wow, what a lot of work is being done to your kitchen renovation. Can’t wait to see the outcome. I am sure it will be just beautiful. I see your rabbit lamp on the window ledge during the renovation. Love that lamp. Love to see Bonus too. Beautiful cat. And that certainly was a nice salad dinner. All the best and hope to see the reveal soon on your new kitchen.
Seeing your video reminded me of washing dishes in the bathroom while my kitchen was being renovated! I had microwave, toaster, kettle, tea and coffee things, a few plates, bowls, cutlery and mugs lined up on the dining table and the fridge freezer beside it. It took some planning before the workmen arrived and I had to be super organised all day long - not something I feel like repeating ever again but the new kitchen has been worth it! I sympathise with you Benita.
I also have a hard time watching a whole movie. It has to be really good. Otherwise you tube or a t.v. show for me also! Glad to know other people feel the same!
I had stepped away from all social media for about 2-3 years. I just read below that Mini had pass away. My condolences to you and Bonus. I know that pain from the loss of long-term kitty companionship all too well.
I love that you kiss and cuddle your cat even more than I do mine lol . So nice to have a little furry person to talk to. You are so organized and tidy. Very inspiring , Cant wait to see the new kitchen . The green one looks great on camera but I get how finger-printy it must be . Thanks for posting
As always a lovely video Benita. Being norwegian I find so many things in your videos relatable.Excited to see your new kitchen next.Always love a kitchen reveal.
Hello from France! I must tell you, your French accent is impeccable 👌. We are in renovations too but on a bigger scale and I completely agree with all of your tricks, still, you make it look so peaceful and omg so clean 😱 😄. Can't wait to see the result!
I also go to bed around 9pm . I haven't the patience to watch a film through.I live by myself only enjoy a film when watching with others. Love cuddles with my cat Maisie.
Love your channel❤️❤️❤️ We bought a litter box that has an opening on the top instead of the side. And also buy silica litter. We hardly have any litter outside the litter box. Plus, the box is oval and cream in color😀 So easy to clean, and no cleanup around the box.
Hi Benita. How are you? I really enjoyed this video, well worth the two weeks wait! I love your loving relationship with Bonus. I used to have cats when I was younger and one of them, called Kicsi (hungarian for little one) was so much like Bonus, his love was so unconditional. After twenty years, I still miss him! I love how you swap slippers to keep your other rooms clean, it’s something I would do. Can’t wait to see the new kitchen. I miss your old apartment but this one is growing on me, especially as you add your personal touches to it. I would also like to see your laundry facilities and maybe a tour of your new neighbourhood! The two weeks is always a long wait but something pleasurable to look forward to, like a holiday! Take care, love from Sydney ❤️🌹🪴🐈⬛🖖🇦🇺
Loved the music , Bonus 😻 & your routine. The upheaval of the Reno will definitely be worth it. So looking forward to seeing your new kitchen, I know it will be perfect as you have such a great aesthetic ❤ lol 💖😻
I'm surprised you didn't take a bath after all of those activities, but then I remembered, you live in a cold climate. Considering how tropical my climate is, I wouldn't be able to sleep without taking a bath because I'll be sweating like crazy during the day.. Anyway, thank you for the video. It inspires me to take care of myself even if there's a huge change in my life. I'll come back again to this video if things are overwhelming in my life. This is very calming.
Hello from Wales UK! I noticed you have an Aarke Carbonator. I have just ordered one as I do love fizzy water plus I'm trying to reduce my plastic useage. I can't wait for it to arrive. Thank you for sharing your videos. I love your taste in decor and have used it as inspiration in my own home, especially as I have just started working from home too x
Hi Benita, I feel your pain of having a. Kitchen remodel. My remodel was supposed to end the last week of February. I got Covid in the middle of the Reno and that slowed the process for 10 days. Then it was put on hold because we vacationed for 1 month. My home is still a dust mess, and furniture is scattered in different rooms in the house. When this is finished, I don’t think I want anymore work done!
Looking forward to the reveal! Glad to see Bonus thriving, but I am sorry about Mini. It's always hard to lose a pet. As an American, I completely understand the preference for ice in drinks. The colder the better. I even throw ice in my water bottle before heading outside in -10 degree F weather... my husband just rolls his eyes.
Your evening routine looks very cozy and relaxing. Do you ever have a problem with Bonus trying to scratch and tear the furniture? Your new kitchen will be wonderful...can't wait to see the finished results!
Greetings, our Queen of Mellowness 😂 I'll have this one on loop next time we're doing work 😱 I was unjustifiably sniffy about a microwave, but it makes food prep - and last minute changes of meal - so much easier, I feel? Love the editing on this video, Benita! Happy Spring to you ❤🌼❤
Having not had a microwave for some months now and thinking I can go without has made me realize I do use it a fair amount and really wanted one again 😅
@@BenitaLarsson Microwaves are extremely handy. I recently added the tiniest toaster oven to my small appliances. It's made it so I can have proper toast (I don't own a toaster) without having a single-use appliance.
Hi Benita, I love your idea of putting things up on the wall to get them off the floor,are you ever concerned about what might be on the other side of a wall? I'm a bit nervous about where to drill safely 😊
Benita, did you get your smart light switches sorted out? Thanks for sharing the update. Looking forward to seeing your renovations! Have a good day! ☺️
Hello Benita! 😃 Renovating your kitchen! How exciting and stressful at the same time - can't wait for the reveal of your new kitchen space. Cute, "he will make little annoyed noises so it's better for both of us if he is feed before I start eating" - so sweet ❤ How is Bonus with strangers in your place? Our little girl, Nellie - she hides under the bed until strangers are gone - I always feel so bad because I wonder how stressed she must feel, but glad that she has a spot that she feels safe. Thank you Benita - enjoy your week! 🌸💮🌸 It is a beautiful sunny day here - and I am looking forward to spring!
Bonus is not happy when the contractors are here. As soon as he hears them he hides under the sofa where I've put several wooly blankets for him to chill out on.
Most cuddled cat in Stockholm, your dear bonus. What would we do without our floofers, eh? I am glad for you that the eyesore of a kitchen is getting out of your house. Sleep well.
I don't have patience for movies either. I had to designate specific days to watch them. I watched 3 last week but only because Dad was here while his floors were being redone.
You may have noted this already sometime but I was wondering how you are handling laundry now that you don't have a washer and dryer in your unit. We are moving to an old home soon without the typical U.S. "modern" amenities and although loosing a dish washer, microwave and built in closets won't bother me - the ease of doing laundry in pajamas at any hour is concerning me. Thank you for sharing your visual life with us. It is always a solace to my day.
Hej Benita....yes, renovations are hell (I know it!!) but when you have to, just do it... The best is follow your example of keeping everything as organized as possible, I love your "survival kit", it is like camping but at home....I imagine how beautiful your kitchen is going to look soon ☺!!!!
What a beautiful video, Benita! Amidst the swirl of renovation, you continue to have a serene haven through routines and a positive - inspiring - perspective. Anticipating the reveal of your new kitchen (!), and know that good things are worth waiting for. The best bits in this video, imho, are your shared TLC times with sweet Bonus. ♥Btw, I've been using the Aura app, too: highly recommended!
Loved the video, even when your kitchen is under construction, your house has still so much calmness 😍 Did I see it correctly that you have a Enhet mirror cabinet in your bathroom? Do you have a single door one or a double? ❤
Living thru a reno is challenging, so is settling a loved ones estate. I worked for the better part of a year on it when my husband passed away 14 yrs ago. Do you have siblings, or is this all on your own? I'm looking forward to seeing your new kitchen :) Thanks for sharing 🥰🌱🌿🌷💐☔💗✝ Happy Easter ! 🥰🌱🌿🌷💐☔💗✝
Thank you for sharing your life under the construction site which I definitely know is a challenge, especially with a cat…. I had the same two years ago🫣but afterwards you will feel happy, I am sure of that. And you are still so organized even during that time👏🏻Also, caring about your Mum‘s affairs is not that easy, especially emotionally I think….and…you’re so sweet with Bonus🥰😻 Inreally smiled when you told us you go to bed at around nine, so do I, I am also a morning person! Pls tell me what song is it that we were listening to in your video, I really like it❤️so, I wish you all the best for the upcoming works and cheers, see you soon!🙋♀️🤗☀️

I’m surprised this is the first video everyone is asking about Mini since she passed. She sure is missed by us all. ❤😢
I didn't know that Minnie had passed away and I'm crying buckets right now.
So very sorry to hear of Minis passing. My heart is heavy for you.
Oh no. 😢 I really was wondering where she is...sleep well little mupu. 😢🖤
Although I'm English and don't have any knowledge of the Swedish language I always say heyda to you in return Benita. Does anyone else do this?😊
Aww, I love that!
Ha ha, yes, I always reply hej hej :D
Me too! Always out loud! It shouldn’t be so funny to me since I am Swedish but it’s just so happy and I love it 😍
Same here in Canada 😊
Yes! 😂

A surprisingly calm video for mid reno. Bonus is so sweet, it’s obvious how much you love him. Hope you get your kitchen back soon.
I’m trying to be chill about the process!😅
Beautiful routine, Benita. In the midst of the chaos, you still find calmness and peace.

Having not had a microwave for some months now and thinking I can go without has made me realize I do use it a fair amount and really wanted one again 😅
@@BenitaLarsson Microwaves are extremely handy. I recently added the tiniest toaster oven to my small appliances. It's made it so I can have proper toast (I don't own a toaster) without having a single-use appliance.
I can' t wait to see the new kitchen 😊
I’m very excited to show you soon!
you are such a stylish lady benita you manage having builders in your house with style!
Not sure if it’s been in style but its been ok!😅
Hi Benita, I love your idea of putting things up on the wall to get them off the floor,are you ever concerned about what might be on the other side of a wall? I'm a bit nervous about where to drill safely 😊
If you’re unsure you can use a stud finder. There are some that also alert you if there are cables.
@@BenitaLarsson ah yes I think I will , knowing my luck I'd go through something I'm not supposed to 😊
Hey you mentioned the bro job! Thanks for making me smile 😂
Benita, did you get your smart light switches sorted out? Thanks for sharing the update. Looking forward to seeing your renovations! Have a good day! ☺️
Not yet! But I have spoken to the electrician and I'll get him to come by before it gets dark here in fall and fix it for me.
Hello Benita! 😃 Renovating your kitchen! How exciting and stressful at the same time - can't wait for the reveal of your new kitchen space. Cute, "he will make little annoyed noises so it's better for both of us if he is feed before I start eating" - so sweet ❤ How is Bonus with strangers in your place? Our little girl, Nellie - she hides under the bed until strangers are gone - I always feel so bad because I wonder how stressed she must feel, but glad that she has a spot that she feels safe. Thank you Benita - enjoy your week! 🌸💮🌸 It is a beautiful sunny day here - and I am looking forward to spring!
Bonus is not happy when the contractors are here. As soon as he hears them he hides under the sofa where I've put several wooly blankets for him to chill out on.
@@BenitaLarsson You are good cat mom. ( :
@@BenitaLarsson ❤️
Most cuddled cat in Stockholm, your dear bonus. What would we do without our floofers, eh? I am glad for you that the eyesore of a kitchen is getting out of your house. Sleep well.
He sure is that!
I don't have patience for movies either. I had to designate specific days to watch them. I watched 3 last week but only because Dad was here while his floors were being redone.
The cat paws photo bombing! 😂😂❤️
I missed these videos about routines ❤
I love the glamour 😂🎉 I have been there I know what you mean 😅
The clinking of dishes against the bathroom sink 👌🏻
You may have noted this already sometime but I was wondering how you are handling laundry now that you don't have a washer and dryer in your unit. We are moving to an old home soon without the typical U.S. "modern" amenities and although loosing a dish washer, microwave and built in closets won't bother me - the ease of doing laundry in pajamas at any hour is concerning me. Thank you for sharing your visual life with us. It is always a solace to my day.
There’s a communal laundry room in the basement!
You are my favorite channel on TH-cam! Love from Canada 🇨🇦.
Yay! Thank you so much!
👍❤️
❤️🇦🇺
Hej Benita....yes, renovations are hell (I know it!!) but when you have to, just do it... The best is follow your example of keeping everything as organized as possible, I love your "survival kit", it is like camping but at home....I imagine how beautiful your kitchen is going to look soon ☺!!!!
Camping at home! Yes, exactly!
What a beautiful video, Benita! Amidst the swirl of renovation, you continue to have a serene haven through routines and a positive - inspiring - perspective. Anticipating the reveal of your new kitchen (!), and know that good things are worth waiting for. The best bits in this video, imho, are your shared TLC times with sweet Bonus. ♥Btw, I've been using the Aura app, too: highly recommended!
So good, right!?😴
@@BenitaLarsson it's terrific!
@@BenitaLarssonIts the Best, helps my sleep
Loved the video, even when your kitchen is under construction, your house has still so much calmness 😍 Did I see it correctly that you have a Enhet mirror cabinet in your bathroom? Do you have a single door one or a double? ❤
I have the single door one!
Living thru a reno is challenging, so is settling a loved ones estate. I worked for the better part of a year on it when my husband passed away 14 yrs ago. Do you have siblings, or is this all on your own? I'm looking forward to seeing your new kitchen :) Thanks for sharing 🥰🌱🌿🌷💐☔💗✝ Happy Easter ! 🥰🌱🌿🌷💐☔💗✝
I’m an only child do it’s all on me😊
Thank you for sharing your life under the construction site which I definitely know is a challenge, especially with a cat…. I had the same two years ago🫣but afterwards you will feel happy, I am sure of that. And you are still so organized even during that time👏🏻Also, caring about your Mum‘s affairs is not that easy, especially emotionally I think….and…you’re so sweet with Bonus🥰😻 Inreally smiled when you told us you go to bed at around nine, so do I, I am also a morning person! Pls tell me what song is it that we were listening to in your video, I really like it❤️so, I wish you all the best for the upcoming works and cheers, see you soon!🙋♀️🤗☀️
I always put the link to the music in the description box of the video! This one is Kylie Dailey www.epidemicsound.com/track/ZiOA9DRpTS/
@@BenitaLarsson thank you,😃🙋♀️
Bonus is so sweet. Luckily for you Bonus allows affection. My cat is not so loving. 🙀😾
He accepts them on his terms 😅
Me encantan tus vídeos! Saludos desde Barcelona! ❤
I’m so happy you enjoy them!
So Wonderful!🙂
Glad you think so!
You are my kind of person, especially with the "glamorous" dishwashing facilities!😂
Such a treat to have dishes scraping against the porcelain 🤣
Those european document boxes are so much more useful than the file folders or accordian files we are cursed with in the u.s.
That are really great!
