It’s time for a whole apartment declutter! You might be surprised at how much stuff has accumulated in my minimalist life since I decluttered last.
I get so many questions about the things in my apartment and what I like and wear so I've collected links for many of them below.

Such a fun game!
This was sooooo satisfying to watch! My favourite part of decluttering is finding people who will be happy receiving a thing I'm getting rid of. Recently I found a new owner for a beautiful trenchcoat that hung in my wardrobe unloved. I'm so happy to let it go.
That’s the best part!
I LOVE that hallway wardrobe with the mirrored doors. May I ask from where you purchased it?
There's a Good Will around the corner; they work so hard there to present the donated clothing in an attractive way so people can not only see it, but feel good about purchasing. It's these small acts that make such a big difference.
That’s so great!
The recycling room with the open shelves for neighbors to share and exchange things - how genius is that!
It’s the best!
Decluttering it's great not only for us, but also for the ones receiving what we don't need any more! It's a win- win situation which everyone appreciates!
Yes, totally win-win!!
I've made the experience, some people suggest they get the "unwanted trash" of someone..
Like to be littered.
That's a pity.
@@FrogeniusW.G. I don't see it like that really! But everyone it's free to see things as they please!
@@mihaelaclaudiap..2
Yes, I don't see it that way either. But many others, I think.
I always like, when I get a bag of decluttered stuff to look through. Sometimes I take 2 or 3 items, sometimes nothing..
I think, everybody could offer, what he has leftover, and the one offered does have the oportunity to say "no, thank you" at any time.
But I think, many people are like "if it's not "good enough" for you, why should it be good enough for me?" and refuse it.. Even since all of that has nothing to do with it. They have an other lifestyle and therefor _of course_ need other stuff. Or colour. Or size.. But they are not able to see it like that.
It's a matter of ego/pride, I think..
And as I say, a pity.
@@FrogeniusW.G. It May just be the sign of a low self-esteem. And it May also be a reaction to the giver's mindset and attitude. Pity or compassion ?
The greater winner may not be the one who recieves.
The ego of the giver may spoil the win/win transaction.
I have been on a purging binge myself. I have taken probably five full carloads of items to the thrift stores. You might say I have hit the wall and am really going whole hog on minimalism. I'm at an age where even your average household of items is too much for me now and so watching your channel has really inspired me to continue my new life and know what I have been doing is making me happy and is so worth it.
Good job! SO worth it!
How I wish I had access to a recycling room like you have, it’s such a useful resource. Disposing of my decluttered goods is always such a long-winded performance here and though we do have recycling collections for some items, there are others such as fabric recycling that there is no local provision for. There is a limit to the number of rag cloths, buttons and zips one might wish to store in one’s minimalist home. Thank you for suggesting June’s journey, I have been considering trying it for some time now so with your recommendation I will get on and download it and give it a go. I doubt I will catch up with you though.
Do, it’s a great game!
It's a great game i play it all the time
Do you have a H&M where you live? They take clothes and fabric for recycling.
Is there a Buy Nothing group in your area? If there's anything I can't donate I usually offer it there. I'm not a crafter myself but a lot of people are happy to add to their stashes!
Could take them to schools or tafe, some do sewing classes or checkout a council near you? Xx
Every time I come back from a holyday in scandinavia I restart decluttering to get this calm feeling in my home as well. Your video's are so well made, calming and inspiering, thanks!
I’m so glad you enjoy them!
I am at the beginning so have quite a ways to go but it is a process and I respect that. I am 53yo living in Oz, recently returned to Sydney from country for work and it is my opportunity to dramatically reduce, reuse, and recycle in preparation for a pared down and fuller life.
After our recent lockdown here I have finally found a small apartment and been able to move everything out of storage again. I have had to store my belongings a few times over the years and I have avowed that this is the last time - it is the last time in my life that I will 'do' my life like this: moving around and renting tiny apartments that I can only just fit all of my possessions in, while paying off someone else's mortgage and just making ends meet.. I am slowly unpacking and literally sifting, sorting, and donating as I go.
I am excited by the prospect of entering my later years doing something completely different and more fulfilling, but I'm still in the process of making some major decisions. I am deciding if a tiny house, an rv (or converted bus) is the way to go. It is difficult for me because I inherited both of my parent's belongings and so I will reduce my own excess first.
You are so inspiring and I am loving each episode that I come across - I am now following with keen interest. I appreciate your common sense and logical approach and I suspect that this will be the best way for me to approach everything also. Thank you! Happy New Year 2022 from Oz 🎆🍾💮
I am always decluttering my house, it's incredible how much we collect in a short period of time.
Thank God your inspection went well 😊
I hope the cats are doing better!
That are both doing well considering their age! Thank you!
“I love me a good storage box”, You’re definitely a kindred spirit, I can’t resist them either ☺️ 💛💐
The key is to save the ones you know will be useful and discard the ones that are just “a box” 😅
The joy of finding lost items when tidying out.
Yes, that lip balm! 🙌🏻
I always look forward to your videos. Love how honest you are when it comes to decluttering
Im so glad you enjoy my videos!
Excellent decluttering inspiration, and a great reminder that even when you achieve a minimalist space, it only stays that way with regular item-editing effort.
I’m about 75% finished with my whole apartment decluttering project and am always amazed at how much more I enjoy the things I own when I only have what I use and need. Enjoy your freshly edited space!
That’s so true, you appreciate the few things you keep more!
The parrot lamps! I still remember those.
Can I say how surprised I was to see your storage room looking disordered? I always love watching the re-organising of your cluttered spaces. Then the recycling process. Oh how I wish we had this system!
It’s not normal for it to look like that but it’s more satisfying to clean it up when it does get to that state!😅
I was surprised to see "my beloved" parrot lamps in the storage room. I guess there is a time and season for everything. You must have gotten a bit tired of them.
I 🥰love those bird lamps!
Wow, that’s a lot in one day! You’re lucky to have such a great storage space. It’s beautifully organized!
I do love my little storage space!😊
I love how you picked up the stuffed toy/rabbit and kissed it ….it’s clear that it still brings you joy
I love how you are so real and honest admiting that you also buy things that do not fit you lifestyle :) I can relate to that!
I’ve been in huge declutter mode for the last month, since we are moving. I still find it really relaxing to watch you declutter, lol!
I’m dying to know what leggings/pants you are wearing in this video. Love how they are loose at the ankle.
I liked the leggings too!
They are really old and lost their elasticity which is why they’re loose around the ankles so they’re being decluttered next 😅. They’re from a local shop, Indiska.
The leggings caught my eye. I waited, holding my breath to see the description. They are keepers!
Thanks for this! I’m in a “decluttering mood” now! :)
Yay! It’s what I want after posting my videos!
Very happy to see that I am not the only one with an eye for a good box - you never know when they will come in handy! Another satisfying video, thank you.
Yes, those boxes are🙌🏻
White (or light coloured) cotton shirts & clothes can be dyed.
I always do that with clothes, that I like in shape, size and material, but not in colour..
So I do for my kids. Pink dresses get blue dye and become purple, grey & white become blue and so on.
Sometimes I even go fancywith yellow or green.
☆😄
I dye things all the time if they’re still in good condition. When not I recycle them 😊
i love that recycling room i wish we had one of those
It’s the best thing!
Thanks for the decluttering inspo. I need to go through my holiday decor as we are creeping up on that season and pull out my winter wear. Seems like great time to declutter. You make Tuesdays something to look forward to when you post new videos 😻
Aww, thank you so much!
I've been watching her almost a year and really get the vibe she's like myself. VIRGO...Hmmm.I wonder?..... so calming to watch her calm logical Minimalistic lifestyle. Bravo Benita👏
Sagittarius
I’m a Virgo and love this channel lol. When were you born? I’m the 19th
@@rhondaverma6358 I thought so! I saw that mug... I'm a Sag too.
I’m a Sagittarius, December 21!
She definitely behaves like a virgo. I am sure too that she must have some virgo in her chart 😄 I am virgo ascendant and I love this channel 🤩
Feels so good to catch up on the decluttering. I love the recycle room.
That room is one if the best things about living here!
😘I finally realized that I had to continue my decluttering, after getting rid of so much, it is far easier to take a look and inventory what I have and don't need now. Thanks!!
So true!
Your quality control staff is adorable 💕
She’s a pretty special member of staff!
Hello Benita, love your program!! Your tips of minimalism are the best!! Have a great day!!
Thank you so much!
Nothing more soothing than watching Benita declutter anything :-) How I would jump at the chance to be able to sift through any Swedish recycling room!
Aww, thank you so much!
I watch these videos while I eat my lunch at work. My work is quite noisy and these videos calm me and get me ready for the rest of the day. Thanks so much Benita. I hope you are doing well.
I’m so glad you enjoy them!
I love your quality control staff! x
I love your apartment and how nice you keep it, it is truly inspiring to me. Your nice storage room is sure good for things you keep there and you keep that room so organized too. Those stackable drawers are useful, great to have. Thank you for the inspiration, you stay so organized and orderly! Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. You are the queen of declutteting, organization and all things beautiful. Admirable.
Aww, thank you so much!
Definitely love the longer videos!
Thank you so much for this video - thanks to you I got rid of SO MANY books this week! I feel so much calmer when I look at my shelves.
I’m so happy you found inspiration!
The parrot lamps 🤍🤍🤍
“A textile recycling bin!” 😳🧐🥳🤯
Randomly placed and nearby!
😳👏🏻🎉🥰
Hello, Benita, I'm so glad you "passed the inspection"!! 🤣🤣
That was lucky! #relieved
Great video! I fell in the Kaftan lifestyle dress and then went to satin things neither worked fir me so I gave to few people that were so grateful and will look great on them hundreds of $ just thought I could pull off the Halston look which with my former fisherman sandals I looked like Jesus giving a sermon on the mount. Oh well live snd learn I guess I am not alone on this. I love my minimalist life and love watching your decluttering process. Hugs xoxo
Jesus giving a sermon!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Lol! the Jesus look!😊

I have been playing June’s Journey for a while. It’s a fun game. I am on Chapter 34. I really like the community recycling area where shelves are provided. Great idea.
What an amazing idea the recycling room is, as well as the extra storage space. 😃👍🏻
That storage room is amazing.
Love your closet, I black and white tees I wear black for winter and white for winter. Thanks for sharing. I’m getting there.
When you declutter it looks so easy - a true insperation! I found now some motivation to start decluttering too :-D Thank you very much for sharing your minimalism life. Through you I started to overthink many aspects of my life...
I’m so happy if you found inspiration!
Fantastic Declutter, This was Wonderful to see you do the whole apartment - showing the different areas. Finishing off with the storage area and giving and recycling. 💖 So Sweetly Motivating! Tack!
Why is it so relaxing to watch someone clean and clear LOL..?
Haha, totally get it!
I was so surprised, in a good way, by how much you managed to declutter! I love your videos 😍, they always inspire me to do a declutter. I'm currently not living in my apartment as we are doing a huge and very messy renovation, but my 6 year old daughter just got rid of some clothing items 👍😁, she has outgrown them. They will be passed on to 2 younger cousins 😁. I will definitely be doing another decluttering session when we move back to our apartment, we have just the bare minimum of what we truly need, the toys are the top of the list followed by clothes.
Isn’t it mind blowing how things accumulate?
Yes, me too. I was surprised that there was anything left to get rid of. This tells me that decluttering is not a 'one time' event. It is something that continues. I think it takes a lot of courage to get rid of things that you aren't using any more.
Thank you for showing your storage area. I am trying to embrace that we all have some storage. I love your videos. Great job! You inspire me
You should make podcast your voice is very soothing and calming to listen. 😌 Keep safe 😊
Jag blir alltid så inspirerad och imponerad att du hittar så pass mycket att rensa ut trots att du redan är minimalist. Det är verkligen ett pågående projekt! Din katt är ju för söt när hon inspekterar garderoben 😻 jag ska absolut ladda ner Junes journey och se om det är nåt för mig, det låter roligt när du beskriver det
Alltså, Mini när hon kollar brorsans koja 😍
Love these, just started my morning coffee and this pops up. Thank you Benita!
Yay! That makes my so happy!
That storage room is a dream! Hope you’re feeling well.
I love having it! And yes, thank you, I do!
I love that you have such great recycle/reuse availability there. We have a general recycle bin here and people put regular trash in it all the time. Did a little digging and found out that the recycling bin goes straight to the dump anyway because of how much garbage is in it. :( I'd love it if our apartment complex had a household item swap area. We often put usable good shape items in the entry lobby of our building with a "free" sign on it even though we aren't supposed to. Those things get snatched up pretty quickly.
Same with the recycle bins in our building. So much trash gets thrown in them. Plus people don’t break down cardboard boxes which take up a lot of space in the bins. I recently read recyclers here are only recycling #1 & #2 plastics. They pitch the rest because there’s no money to be made with #3-7.
@@jillengel4124 call me a Karen.... I find it sad that we work so hard to do the right thing while others just don't give a rip. I guess the best you and I can do in our situation is try to purchase products with less packaging and packaging we can recycle in our apartments.
The recycling facilities are amazing here and people actually do use them fortunately!
@@Hazel_Fox22 I'm thinking of trying those detergent sheets I've seen advertised on Instagram. A lot less packaging. Will just keep a small bottle of detergent on hand if I need to wash a stain out in the sink before laundry day.
Good work Benita... you inspired me to clean out my drawers, tidy my wardrobe and pantry today!! Feels so much better :)
Thank you! Very interesting 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for the great motivation to get things out of the house! 👍🏻
Always love seeing your space🙌🏻
I get the feeling that you would be a pro at Tetris!😉
Thanks again! Be well and stay safe
Haha, I haven’t played in eons but I’d probably be ace at it 🤣
You are inspiring Benita, thank you!
Hello Benita! That would be me, buying something because it looks so good on the person in their photo. I have started to declutter - I started with something small, my closet - that was very rewarding because it took me all day and I love my closet now. I have also started with a part in my living room, but that was put on hold because I got busy with work (I work from home). I love seeing your clothes - even your clothes make me feel relaxed (the grey tones). I love storage boxes - I have so many, mine are mostly empty waiting for me to organize a room :) I really do enjoy watching your videos and appreciate the time you take to share all of your tips. Enjoy your week :)
Sounds like you’re on the right track!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@BenitaLarsson I forgot to ask, but where did you buy the shirt you are wearing in this video - I feel like I might have seen that in one of your previous videos :)
It’s in its third life! I got it a few years ago when it was navy blue. Dyed it black last year and cut it shorter this year. From a Muji originally’
@@BenitaLarsson Thank you :)
Im always amazed at how organized you are Benita, that just what I’m doing today as we are having a few rainy days here inToronto.........I highly approve of your quality control officers, I lost my last two one in October last year and the last one in February...........as I was having surgery in April I wanted to wait to see when I healed and would be able to look after another.....the time is fast approaching as my condo is very lonely without them......have a wonderful week and as always thanks for the motivation to get cracking................nice to see you looking so well.........xo......Donna in Toronto
So, sorry about your loss!
Hi, Benita. I'm still catching up on my favorite YT videos. I love the idea of having a recycling room in your apartment building - what an awesome idea. I have also played June's Journey on my iPhone, very fun. Your kitties are so cute! I need to get busy decluttering my house. Yikes!!! :)
Thanks for the inspiring video. Love the quiet yet upbeat instrumental music. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a wonderful idea, to declutter and recycle on a regular basis. Benita, you're far more advanced than I am--it's both relaxing and inspiring to watch your vlogs! ✨💕💕
Thank you Benita for another wonderful video.
Speed decluttering)
That reminds me of myself doing something on my 2x speed)
I totally love your “slow motion” videos, with relaxing music... they are so soothing, the life I’d like to live) keep coming back to watch over again
You look great, hope you like your new work regiment
My best wishes and thank you,
Just when you think Benita can’t declutter anymore BAM! There she goes! Inspiring I’ll go again before winter.
Haha! Yes, it's mind blowing how things creep up!
Congratulations Benita! You are an example to follow and a continuous source of inspiration.
Aww, that’s so sweet of you to say!
🇬🇧 So satisfying to watch and such a good idea having a room you can recycle ♻️ and for others to help themselves.x
That space is amazing!
Love the idea of a recycle ♻️ room where others may find an unwanted item useful. Reduce wastage.
It’s the best thing!
loved the music on this one! Your space is so simple and minimal and inspiring!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the inspo. I have the Veterans' Alliance coming today. I am excited about gathering a few more things that I am not using. I schedule them to come about once a week, so I will have to get rid of some extra items.
I’ve had June’s journey on my phone for years because it’s so pretty. Haven’t played it yet thoufh
Beautiful video. It motivated me and I will declutter a bit tommorow morning. Thanks for the motivation!
And by the way: I hope that someday my apartment will be as organized and decluttered as your apartment. Thanks for the inspiration!
Glad you found some inspiration!
Hi I already started week ago decluting my flat and reducing my clothes and shoes and everything once for while aspecial when in Wales in UK we don't have any great long summer. So many stuff people accumulate for years and sometimes people forgetting about this stuff. Less is more and less stressful life 😊😍
Totally, when you have four seasons you need more than if you live in a more temperate climate.
So happy to see you here today Benita, you cheered me up as always.
Thank you so much!
WOW you are so organised ! I can only aspire to get better at decluttering. Thanks for the lesson.
I needed the inspiration. Thank you. 🥰
Thank God you did not give your grey sweater with the Patches away ! Try soaking your tshirts in Oxiclean it really works to help revive whites and get rid of stains. Love your Chanel Benita. 👏👏👏❤️🙏😌🇨🇦👍😉
Thank you! Those white Tees also were quite worn out so no point in spending more time on them but I’ll keep the tip for the future!
Love your decluttering videos. Almost as much as your wardrobe tours. I ❤️ your style.
Thank you, that’s so sweet of you!
Hi Benita, as always you made a great clear video. You're always a great help for inspiration and declutter. At the end of the video I saw with interest the recycling room which unfortunately does not exist in Italy. Too bad because it would be a very nice idea. I always follow you and look at you with admiration. Kisses from Italy
That recycling room is the best!
Great motivation to do some decluttering before the holidays. I love June’s Journey. Thanks💜
Love June’s Journey so much!
Just found your channel and I loved this video! Your cat the inspector… so cute. Love that you love boxes!! I’m inspired!!
Thank you so much!!
Benita!!! Hi! I was a real fan of your Chez Larsson blog and I cannot express how happy I am to have accidentally found you again here on TH-cam! Warmest regards from Belgium, Liesbeth
Welcome! I’m so happy to have you!
Wow, you actually looked at or touched everything you own! ❤️
Lovey kitchen!!
We live in a 600 SQ ft house and out kitchen has only 1 upper cabinet & 1 lower cabinet plus the sink area (under sink has cleaning products). That, plus our fridge & stove is the entire kitchen!!! It does keep me from accumulating anything in the kitchen 😆
Edited to add: WOW! Your spaces has great storage! Our house has 1 tiny closet & we share it. Every time think I would like more storage, I declutter instead😁
Very relaxing video, very inspiring.
So glad you enjoyed it!
I found this video so relaxing. Its not frantic even though you get a lot done. Thank you 🥰
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
You did great on getting things to gather. Nice organization.
I’m constantly surprised by how much I find decluttering … good reminder of one way I maintenance my life ❤️ ty
Isn’t it mind blowing how it creeps up?
this is giving inner peace :) thanks
I love those lamps in your storage room. Love your decluttering videos. And, of course, always like to see the recycling room and the recycling centers.
I love the parrot lamps too! They don't work in this apartment but I'm holding on to them!
@@BenitaLarsson couldn't tell what the birds were. They are lovely.
That recycling room is brilliant!
Yes!! About keeping various sizes of organizers in a box for future use! ; D
Every building should have a recycling room.....what a great concept!
It’s the best thing!
June’s journey looks like a lot of fun, will definitely try it 😁
I love it! So relaxing to play. Now at 120!😅
Love the longer video Benita enjoyed it very much, but I'm surprised you have stuff to declutter you keep on top of things so well.
It creeps up on you! And I do normally drop things off right away but saved it all for your viewing pleasure 🤣
Cute quality control staff! 😄
I love Jones journey I have that on my phone I enjoyed it being very much just like you love your videos on your contents have a nice week
It’s such a great game!
Thank you 🏠
Such a satisfying watch! Thanks Benita 🖤
So happy you enjoyed it!
I love June's Journey. I have been playing for a year. Greetings from Germany. 🌻
