It amazes me after years of living a minimalist lifestyle how I can still do a declutter and find so many items to let go of. I hope you find a wonderful new home for you and your kitties 🏠🐱
I think one of the hardest parts of decluttering is knowing what to do with the things, where to give them away or sell them if you don't just want to put them in a box on the street (one of the preferred methods where I live nowadays). It is a good system you have with the giveaway shelf for your neighbours.
@@olivemaycards yes, we have a number of groups like that, and I also get rid of things that way sometimes. Sadly, however, many people still just dump things on the street to rot, especially large items like sofas and mattresses that nobody wants because of the resurgence of the bedbug problem.
You've kept your current home in such beautiful condition and the next buyer will be so lucky to get it! Good luck in your new home. I'm sure you'll make it just as beautiful as this one.
Such a good idea to do a declutter before a move is even happening.....a calm way to make a keep or give away decision. I'm not planning a move but tomorrow I'm going to pretend I am and do a walk through my tiny house. Thanks for the motivation!
Congratulations on your future home! I can’t wait to see how you make it home. When I bought my house a year ago I started decluttering as well in preparation for my move. During the move, I tearfully realized I have WAY to much stuff. I have been decluttering ever since and it has been liberating!!! You have inspired me tremendously. I look at things differently and say to myself “if Benita was here what would she do?”. You are my litmus test of what to keep and what to purge. Thank you for all your videos! The contents are very helpful to so many.
I just love the options that you have for passing things along and recycling. I really wish that we had better options in the US, especially in more rural communities.
I always find a move “cleansing” when evaluating and touching everything going to the new place. You definitely are an inspiration for light and clean living … and keeping family close.
You are always an inspiration to declutter. I need to do this again, as we moved into our new home 1 1/2 years ago. Decluttered prior to moving, but still have so much stuff we no longer use!!
What a wonderful video!, I've so enjoyed watching the past videos, especially the catio. Mini and Bonus are so precious. I wish you all the best with the move and hope the kitties settle in OK with the move.
Your decluttering style is very much like mine. I do it on the regular. I also practice the one in-one out rule. Some friends criticize my methods but I think they hang on to too much stuff. I have kept my silver flatware and use it every day. It’s great you’ve got so many options for selling, donating or recycling items in Stockholm. Can’t wait to see your new place.
Just brilliant how your building has that “item share” system ! I would love that !! Terrific job on your declutter. I hope your items sell !! Love from Buffalo, NY USA Liz
I love your home so much and find it hard to believe you're going to leave it, but I understand completely why you're moving on. Are you no longer interested in any outdoor space for yourself? Not having an outdoor space was a dealbreaker the last time I was house hunting. Wishing you all the best in your new home search!
I love how the Swedish culture recycles and has a give away system where you live.I am looking forward to seeing where you will move to, your current apartment is so nice.It will be so wonderful to live closer to your son and friends.An Italy vacation sounds awesome!!. Living your life large 😊💛
So glad you are enjoining italian language and culture, im from Italy and I love my country! So proud!!! And congratulations for your move! Im moving soon too, and I Just started declutter my ENTIRE home ahahah but my cats and husband Will stay with me of course ahah
Donating or getting rid of items that are no longer useful is always a good idea when moving to a new location. I was supposed to move last month, but it was delayed. All of my belongings are currently packed in boxes and bags. all but the genuinely essential items. Thus, I only have three plates, two cups, a fork, knife, and spoon, along with two pans and a pot. Curiously, I discovered that the few things I use every day were enough to make me happy. Once I move to the new apartment, I believe I will donate more items.
After watching this video, I am energized to look at my home contents. I do regularly consider whether to let go of items. At times, a decision depends on my mood that day. I moved to a new home a year ago, and I thought I had done very well decluttering before moving. But in the past year, I have decluttered and donated so much more. I suppose it has to do with living in my new space and realizing some items no longer suit my current life. It is an ongoing process! I'm off to look into my cupboards to see what I can find to let go. Thank you for the inspiration Benita 🌼
I did too, especially since she was kissing them. My sadness was soon turned to joy. We absolutely love our fur babies and delayed a move to the country that we thought would be too much for our dogs; one was blind, the other deaf. Our cats did fine and loved country life. We've had many animals since. The strays always find us 🥰.
I can't wait to see your new home, how exciting. I remember so well you moving into your current place, seems like yesterday. I so enjoyed this video, as usual, thank you for sharing.
Moving is always exciting...very smart to declutter beforehand, less headaches ! Can't wait to see your new home, I already know it will be beautiful!!
i love that the building has different options of offloading your belongings. i wished that was adopted here in the US or made more common. thanks for sharing!
Congratulations on your new home! I loved your current place, it seemed cozy and the outside garden area was really nice, but it’s always nice to start fresh and it’s exciting to move to a new place and to be around family and friends is a bonus! Can’t wait to see the new place! Hope the move goes smooth for you. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
I wish you the best and hope you find a wonderful new home. I also consider myself a minimalist, however, I learned that I still have many things to declutter. I am having some painting done so it was the perfect time once again, rid myself of stuff. This includes a large suitcase-I vow to never check luggage again, corporate looking clothes-I am now retired but I kept some black basics, books and handbags. I donated a lot and after vacuuming and dusting, it felt wonderful. Now for the painting...
So enjoyable to watch! Recycling facilities in your area are fantastic! I’ve had to pack my house into storage as we travel during the summer and will be moving to the new house in autumn so I decluttered quite aggressively. There is something super satisfying about knowing everything that’s waiting to be unpacked is wanted, useful and in good shape…bringing anything unwanted, useless or worn out with us into new space just feels wrong…and paying for moving and storing it as well! Speaking of traveling during the summer , we are spending whole glorious month in France so I’m motivated to brush up on my French while here so your babble recommendation comes very handy! Xxx
Love seeing your videos. Sad to hear Mini and Bonus getting up in age and no longer using the outdoor space as much. Always a move to get a new round decluttering items no longer needed . Hope Mini and Bonus will enjoy a new place. Our Cat Daphne is 13 years old. I take her outside on the front steps where she gently nibbles grass the goes back inside. Love to see your new place.
I hope you find a new home that you can put your beautiful calm style to & is a great fit for Mini and Bonus. As you can see, everyone here is looking forward to your new location. How lucky for Wille and your friends to have you closer. Good luck Benita.
How exciting, Benita ! Well done on a thorough decluttering ! And all the BEST to you in your New Home when you move! Wow I am impressed with your basement storage unit, annnnd the system where you place items for others in your building to take.
Your upcoming move seems exciting especially since you will be closer to your son and friends. So you are planning a trip to Italy. You will love every moments. Italy is a very unique place. And enjoy the fabulous food with no regrets. That is what's so special about traveling to other places!
So looking forward to seeing you set up your new home, cannot wait. I too remember when you moved to this place and setting it up and decorating and your lovely patio. Nice you will be closer to family. All the best to your move and future. I live like you and I too still find things to recycle and get rid of. My parents left me a 4 bedroom house with so much stuff in it, that I had to get rid of before I sold it. It was overwhelming and never want to be in that position. I too got rid of a lot of my thing in my storage room this week. Again, so looking forward to your room and next video. All the best.
new subscriber here. I wish your cats many healthy more years to come, Benita. I feel so much love when you kiss them. They are both lovely. Have a safe and hopefully stress free move.
I’ll miss this apartment because it’s where you’ve lived since I found you years ago. I was also very impressed with the outdoor space for an apartment. But I know you need to change with the season of life you, Mini and Bonus are in. While I’m sad to see this place go, I’m excited to see your new place, what you’ll do with it and your new adventures in a different part of the city. Thank you for sharing!
This is such a nice “how to” for styling a space, cleaning it out and for looking toward the future. You are so right, fix the annoying little things now because it does make the buyer think of other things that may be deeper. I know it’s a big move but I pray it’s a smooth transition 😊
When we chose to adopt our faithful companions, we made sure we purchased a home that would suit them as well as us. Excited for you and looking forward to seeing you next home. Thank so much for sharing.
So this is a nice compliment to an older video about downsizing and moving from a much larger space. Seeing what you do shows -- there's always more to get rid of! I wondered in previous videos whether something was up when I saw you often going to the other side of town to look at real estate. Wow, another move. I moved in 2018 and never want to move again -- but just in case I do, I have this as inspiration. Love what you do Benita. So funny that we all get to move forward together and experience the changes in your life. I love this channel. 😻😘
I bought candles on Amazon last week. I realised, when they arrived that I haven’t bought any unnecessary things in over three years. I guess I’ve become content and easy in my sixties…..it sort of crept up on me. Happy days in your new home, I look forward to seeing it in the future.
Excited to hear about your move to a new home! Can't wait to see the whole adventure of relocating! And so nice you will be near your son and good friends.
I love watching your D clutter and organizing videos. I have learned so much from you and I have tried to adopt a few things from you that fit my lifestyle. I’m very happy that you found it or are you looking for a new place in the city. I always think it’s important that people live wherever it’s going to make them the happiest. Being close to your son and friends is important. I can’t wait to see your new place.
Just moved and also did a decluttering of my already minimalist lifestyle and if I wasn't an artist I would really only have 3 furniture items, 20 clothing articles that include shows and 6 books (one that I published). Such a clear, clean, calm environment (even more)...Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing your new space.
I love your channel. Would you be willing to make a video about your design process for your next place? I am so drawn to your style, and would love to understand a bit more about your decision process, and how you decide on furniture, spatial arrangement, scale, mix of textures etc. I'm guessing you'll take most of your current pieces to your new place, so how will you decide what goes where? And if you need to buy anything new, what you look for and how it fits with everything else. I really struggle with putting things together and it ends in chaos if I just buy pieces I like but without a bigger unifying idea.
Congratulations on your move. I have to say that I love your home, so clean and fresh all the time. You are my inspiration. Can’t wait to see your new place.
Hola 😊. Me ha encantado tú video. Enhorabuena por tu cambio de casa. Seguro que vas a ser muy feliz, sobre todo al lado de tu hijo. Disfruta mucho de esta experiencia. Gracias 😘😊
Video idea: "what I kept and I did not keep from my previous flat" and why. "Things that I can / cannot acquire given the new space available". " neighborhood tour". "The best and worst of my new home" or "What I miss from my previous flat", " How to keep minimal in a bigger space and still make it look cozy". "Ikea tour, smart decisions"' " favorite furniture brands"
Great video! I'm going through the same thing right now and that is preparing to move but it won't be for a year. Still, I have decided to go even more minimal in my life even if I wasn't moving. I sort of hit the wall once again, lol, and I have really purged a lot!!! We've decided that at our age it's time for a smaller home that's easier to clean and closer to downtown. So watching this video was a great plus. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and habits with us all.
I found myself feeling excited for you as I watched, Benita. Mini and Bonus are obviously on-board with your assessment of it being time, and you've previously expressed your enthusiasm for the new neighborhood and all it would bring to your life. So, while I enjoyed seeing you begin the de-clutter-to-move process today, I was more buoyed by your good news. Looking forward to what's to come. All good wishes from here in the U.S.. (Note: I am so impressed by the many convenient options for recycling in Sweden. I could have used that green garden tub, by the way. 😉)
You are fortunate to have so much storage with built in cabinets. I have closets with little shelving in my rental. So for an alternative you have to buy large furniture with storage to keep items tucked away. May you find the perfect place for you and your cats.
So satisfying watching à decluttering video. I was thinking about you yesterday wondering if your apartment had sold. Whoever buys it will be thrilled if they have a cat. The catio is perfect!
Trying to sell things and not turning up….that must be a worldwide thing…very much so here in the UK. A new start is lovely, and will love watching your new move with interest. Cats ( i have one) will move anywhere where there’s comfort xxx
Dear Benita, you are talented to relax me with your videos, and always to inspire me. After all these years and all your videos into your beautiful home now it is a new start. I really loved this house but I am sure you will be happy close to your family and friends. I wish you all the best with the move and I can't wait to see your new place. Regards from Greece. Hugs for you and for your kitties.
I'm so jealous of the recycling room you have in Sweden. Here in the UK we take stuff that is still in a good usable condition to charity shops, but if you don't have a car transporting bulky items like furniture can be a real hustle: you might put it off altogether and just throw stuff away...
Ma che bello sapere che tu ami l' Italia ! È da una vita che ti seguo pur non capendo la tua lingua , ma amo il tuo modo di vivere e di affrontare la vita ! Io sono dalla provincia di Treviso ( una cittadina molto carina del Veneto) Buona continuazione cara 😘😘😘
Ciao Benita, I'm an italian follower of yours and I have to say your pronunciation is very good! I'm happy you love my country and I'd like to come back to Sweden in the future. I wish you all the best and who knows, you might even decide to move to Italy for good 😊 we're corrently melting down due to the unbereable hot temperatures but hopefully there's gonna be some weather change within a few days! Ciao a presto! (Bye, see ya soon) 💛
Getting rid of things not in use is a joy! Where I currently live there is nowhere to drop off clothes, or furniture, or anything basically. You need to put everything in the trash. I think it's such a waste so we just end up piling stuff up in the house wherever we can 😩
I've been excited for your move since you posted about it on Instagram! Are you hoping to find an apartment or home that's already renovated to your taste or are you planning to get a place that needs work? I would love to see some more home tours as you look at places. The designs are so different compared to here!
Another wonderful video! Love that you take into consideration Mini and Bonuses needs. Our elder kitty's needs are are also a priority in regards to where we live. ; )
While we were all stuck at home,RE Covid, I had a massive turn out, why do we hoard,? 2 charities benefited, when they reopened, also the dogs sanctuary, which had a lot of towels. looking forward to seeing your new home, much love from an autumnal Cornwall.
I'm planning to do a move within the next year so I've recently started a declutter. I see no reason to wait until its time to move. This will only make the transition a lot easier when the move date gets closer.
Hej Benita, first of all, thank you for this video. Best luck in your selling/moving process 🍀, it's going to be easy peasy, because your apartment and that patio are beautiful....maybe it's already sold😃!! There are very nice apartments in Stockholm with wonderful french balconies to enjoy in the morning with a coffee or in the evening with a glass of wine 👍🏼and I am looking forward to see how are you going to renovate & decorate it and start your new life, in your new home 🌼🌼😍

Thank you. I signed up!!! Good luck to you and the fur babies with your move!😀😺🐈
It amazes me after years of living a minimalist lifestyle how I can still do a declutter and find so many items to let go of. I hope you find a wonderful new home for you and your kitties 🏠🐱
It’s pretty crazy, right? And thank you!
Can’t wait to see the new home you choose. I love your style of decorating and way of life. I greatly enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching!
Someone will feel blessed to get such an immaculate apartment. I can't wait to see "our" new place!
Haha, I can’t wait to share when that time comes!
I think one of the hardest parts of decluttering is knowing what to do with the things, where to give them away or sell them if you don't just want to put them in a box on the street (one of the preferred methods where I live nowadays). It is a good system you have with the giveaway shelf for your neighbours.
I'm fortunate to have all these options!
They usually have them in apartment buildings, or people pick stuff up from the curb in the city. Not so much in suburbia
Do you have a Buy Nothing or freecycle group in your area Pamela? That’s how I pass on a lot of things.
@@olivemaycards yes, we have a number of groups like that, and I also get rid of things that way sometimes. Sadly, however, many people still just dump things on the street to rot, especially large items like sofas and mattresses that nobody wants because of the resurgence of the bedbug problem.
I’m sure Mini and Bonus will be happy wherever they go as long as you are there. Good luck with your move and best wishes in your new space!
I think so too!😊
Wow. We here in Australia could certainly learn from Sweden when it comes to recycling. Well done Sweden.
I used to love your current house setup and design...the next person is lucky to move in...
Cant wait to see your new home 🤗
Thank you so much!
You've kept your current home in such beautiful condition and the next buyer will be so lucky to get it! Good luck in your new home. I'm sure you'll make it just as beautiful as this one.
Thank you so much!
Such a good idea to do a declutter before a move is even happening.....a calm way to make a keep or give away decision. I'm not planning a move but tomorrow I'm going to pretend I am and do a walk through my tiny house. Thanks for the motivation!
So happy if you were inspired!
Congratulations on the move. I hope you will have a lovely place to take your walks and the kitties will enjoy the new space.
I know the area well since I used to live there and I'm sure we'll all be happy there!
It will be a fortunate person that gets your current home.
I hope they think so!
Wow, that's nice to see how important is to declutter before moving. That's a plus
I don’t want to pay to move things I know I won’t use 😊
Congratulations on your future home! I can’t wait to see how you make it home. When I bought my house a year ago I started decluttering as well in preparation for my move. During the move, I tearfully realized I have WAY to much stuff. I have been decluttering ever since and it has been liberating!!! You have inspired me tremendously. I look at things differently and say to myself “if Benita was here what would she do?”. You are my litmus test of what to keep and what to purge. Thank you for all your videos! The contents are very helpful to so many.
Good job on the decluttering!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Congratulations on the move! Can't wait to see your new home. The cats will love it for they still have you giving them lots of love!
I’m sure we’ll all be happy when the day comes!
I really love your apartment. It is so white and bright. Can’t wait to see the next one.
I’m excited to share when it’s time!
I’m glad that you’re moving closer to your son and friends. That’s wonderful!
I’m so looking forward to it!
I just love the options that you have for passing things along and recycling. I really wish that we had better options in the US, especially in more rural communities.
I’m very lucky to have this, I know!
Oh what a bitter sweet feeling must it be! You’ve put so much love in this apparent! Good luck with moving and creating a new cosy house, Benita!!!
It’s all done though, so I’m excited for something new😊
I always find a move “cleansing” when evaluating and touching everything going to the new place. You definitely are an inspiration for light and clean living … and keeping family close.
I love moving so I’m excited for something new!
Hello Debbie
You are always an inspiration to declutter. I need to do this again, as we moved into our new home 1 1/2 years ago. Decluttered prior to moving, but still have so much stuff we no longer use!!
I always feel that you need to bring some things to try out and if they don’t work you can always declutter after.
I declutter regularly but I am sure if I was moving today I would find so many stuff to declutter. Crazy!!
What a wonderful video!, I've so enjoyed watching the past videos, especially the catio. Mini and Bonus are so precious. I wish you all the best with the move and hope the kitties settle in OK with the move.
Thank you so much!
Benita, How exciting for you!!
I really enjoyed watching you decide about things. So glad you will be closer to your family and best friend.
Cheers
So excited to live close to Wille and my BFFs!
Your decluttering style is very much like mine. I do it on the regular. I also practice the one in-one out rule. Some friends criticize my methods but I think they hang on to too much stuff. I have kept my silver flatware and use it every day. It’s great you’ve got so many options for selling, donating or recycling items in Stockholm. Can’t wait to see your new place.
I love the recycling possibilities here!
Just brilliant how your building has that “item share” system ! I would love that !! Terrific job on your declutter. I hope your items sell !! Love from Buffalo, NY USA Liz
I will miss that when I move!
I love your home so much and find it hard to believe you're going to leave it, but I understand completely why you're moving on. Are you no longer interested in any outdoor space for yourself? Not having an outdoor space was a dealbreaker the last time I was house hunting. Wishing you all the best in your new home search!
I never needed that big of an outdoor space for myself, it was for my cats. Very happy to move on!😊
What an amazing cat mom you are. To find a place with them as the focus is just so sweet. Always love all your videos. Thank you for sharing.
I love how the Swedish culture recycles and has a give away system where you live.I am looking forward to seeing where you will move to, your current apartment is so nice.It will be so wonderful to live closer to your son and friends.An Italy vacation sounds awesome!!. Living your life large 😊💛
So looking forward to living closer!
I just love how much you keep your cats' needs in mind❤️
How wonderful to be able to move closer to those you love 😊
So glad you are enjoining italian language and culture, im from Italy and I love my country! So proud!!! And congratulations for your move! Im moving soon too, and I Just started declutter my ENTIRE home ahahah but my cats and husband Will stay with me of course ahah
Best of luck with your move!

That’s a great test to how little you need! Hope the move happens for you soon still!
Ti seguo da alcuni anni e amo il tuo modo di vivere, ti piacciono le cose belle ma semplici. Sono felice che tu voglia imparare l’italiano 🥰
I've always wanted to learn Italian so I'm happy to do it! I understand a bit but speaking is trickier😊

Yes, such an ongoing process!
Hi 👋dear how are you doing?
As soon as you said you wouldn’t move unless you didn’t have cats anymore - I thought the worst - so glad Mini and Bonus are still OK 🐈⬛🐈❣️
I did too, especially since she was kissing them. My sadness was soon turned to joy. We absolutely love our fur babies and delayed a move to the country that we thought would be too much for our dogs; one was blind, the other deaf. Our cats did fine and loved country life. We've had many animals since. The strays always find us 🥰.
They’re senior citizens but in good shape at 88 human years!
I can't wait to see your new home, how exciting. I remember so well you moving into your current place, seems like yesterday. I so enjoyed this video, as usual, thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Moving is always exciting...very smart to declutter beforehand, less headaches ! Can't wait to see your new home, I already know it will be beautiful!!
Thank you so much!
I remember your videos when you renovated this sweet apartment -- now can't wait to see what you do in your new home! Good luck!
Very excited for this new chapter for sure!
i love that the building has different options of offloading your belongings. i wished that was adopted here in the US or made more common. thanks for sharing!
I am a year out from moving. I have started the process of decluttering. This is great motivation! Thanks!
Glad if it’s helpful!
Congratulations on your new home! I loved your current place, it seemed cozy and the outside garden area was really nice, but it’s always nice to start fresh and it’s exciting to move to a new place and to be around family and friends is a bonus! Can’t wait to see the new place! Hope the move goes smooth for you. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
Thank you so much for following along!
I wish you the best and hope you find a wonderful new home.
I also consider myself a minimalist, however, I learned that I still have many things to declutter. I am having some painting done so it was the perfect time once again, rid myself of stuff. This includes a large suitcase-I vow to never check luggage again, corporate looking clothes-I am now retired but I kept some black basics, books and handbags. I donated a lot and after vacuuming and dusting, it felt wonderful. Now for the painting...
Decluttering is so therapeutic!
The new buyer will be so happy to for such a beautiful home..All the best in your new home 😊
So enjoyable to watch! Recycling facilities in your area are fantastic!
I’ve had to pack my house into storage as we travel during the summer and will be moving to the new house in autumn so I decluttered quite aggressively. There is something super satisfying about knowing everything that’s waiting to be unpacked is wanted, useful and in good shape…bringing anything unwanted, useless or worn out with us into new space just feels wrong…and paying for moving and storing it as well!
Speaking of traveling during the summer , we are spending whole glorious month in France so I’m motivated to brush up on my French while here so your babble recommendation comes very handy! Xxx
Love seeing your videos. Sad to hear Mini and Bonus getting up in age and no longer using the outdoor space as much. Always a move to get a new round decluttering items no longer needed . Hope Mini and Bonus will enjoy a new place. Our Cat Daphne is 13 years old. I take her outside on the front steps where she gently nibbles grass the goes back inside. Love to see your new place.
I’m exited for this new chapter!
Speaking of travel, it would be interesting to know how you pack for a holiday as a minimalist.
When I get a chance to travel further than to my mom’s I’ll try and share!
I hope you find a new home that you can put your beautiful calm style to & is a great fit for Mini and Bonus. As you can see, everyone here is looking forward to your new location. How lucky for Wille and your friends to have you closer. Good luck Benita.
Thank you so much, so excited to move closer!
Not much to sort out, testament to the fact that consistent sorting out (like Benita does) makes sense.
I love everything in this video! It's always surprising how there is always something to declutter...And moving, sounds so exciting! Lycka till!
So excited, thank you!
Hi 👋how are you doing?
How exciting, Benita ! Well done on a thorough decluttering ! And all the BEST to you in your New Home when you move! Wow I am impressed with your basement storage unit, annnnd the system where you place items for others in your building to take.
Will miss both those features when I move for sure!
Dear Benita, I can't wait to see your new house. I hope you and your kittens feel comfortable. Greetings from Bolivia.
I’m sure we’ll be happy on the other side of town!
Your upcoming move seems exciting especially since you will be closer to your son and friends. So you are planning a trip to Italy. You will love every moments. Italy is a very unique place. And enjoy the fabulous food with no regrets. That is what's so special about traveling to other places!
Yes, I’m very excited both about living closer to them and the prospect of traveling more!
You're a sweet considerate mom and Kitty mom as well. Good luck with your move!
Thank you so much!
So looking forward to seeing you set up your new home, cannot wait. I too remember when you moved to this place and setting it up and decorating and your lovely patio.

Thank you, they are my little sweeties!😊
Your videos inspires me. Always realistic and true to what you really posses.
Thank you so much!
I’ll miss this apartment because it’s where you’ve lived since I found you years ago. I was also very impressed with the outdoor space for an apartment. But I know you need to change with the season of life you, Mini and Bonus are in. While I’m sad to see this place go, I’m excited to see your new place, what you’ll do with it and your new adventures in a different part of the city. Thank you for sharing!
I’m sure it’s going to be good!
This is such a nice “how to” for styling a space, cleaning it out and for looking toward the future. You are so right, fix the annoying little things now because it does make the buyer think of other things that may be deeper. I know it’s a big move but I pray it’s a smooth transition 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
When we chose to adopt our faithful companions, we made sure we purchased a home that would suit them as well as us. Excited for you and looking forward to seeing you next home. Thank so much for sharing.
So this is a nice compliment to an older video about downsizing and moving from a much larger space. Seeing what you do shows -- there's always more to get rid of! I wondered in previous videos whether something was up when I saw you often going to the other side of town to look at real estate. Wow, another move. I moved in 2018 and never want to move again -- but just in case I do, I have this as inspiration. Love what you do Benita. So funny that we all get to move forward together and experience the changes in your life. I love this channel. 😻😘
I love the process of moving so I'm really excited 😊
@@BenitaLarsson Best of luck to you in this -- I look forward to experiencing the next stage with you - very excited here, too!
I can’t believe you’re moving!! Amazing how minimal you are but still did a pretty big declutter. (BTW, always loved that 🐘tray.) 🤗
Nothing like moving to make you reevaluate your belongings. Can't wait to see your new place!
I bought candles on Amazon last week. I realised, when they arrived that I haven’t bought any unnecessary things in over three years.
I guess I’ve become content and easy in my sixties…..it sort of crept up on me.
Happy days in your new home, I look forward to seeing it in the future.
I love that !👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Always satisfying to see someone declutter their whole home. I'm surprised that you still have many things to declutter though you're a minimalist.
I’m not an extreme minimalist.
Excited to hear about your move to a new home! Can't wait to see the whole adventure of relocating! And so nice you will be near your son and good friends.
I love watching your D clutter and organizing videos. I have learned so much from you and I have tried to adopt a few things from you that fit my lifestyle. I’m very happy that you found it or are you looking for a new place in the city. I always think it’s important that people live wherever it’s going to make them the happiest. Being close to your son and friends is important. I can’t wait to see your new place.
Just moved and also did a decluttering of my already minimalist lifestyle and if I wasn't an artist I would really only have 3 furniture items, 20 clothing articles that include shows and 6 books (one that I published). Such a clear, clean, calm environment (even more)...Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing your new space.
Benita happy moving! Can't wait for your future videos! Lots of new information about organisation, packing tips, decor, decluttering. Love this ❤️
I love your channel. Would you be willing to make a video about your design process for your next place? I am so drawn to your style, and would love to understand a bit more about your decision process, and how you decide on furniture, spatial arrangement, scale, mix of textures etc. I'm guessing you'll take most of your current pieces to your new place, so how will you decide what goes where? And if you need to buy anything new, what you look for and how it fits with everything else. I really struggle with putting things together and it ends in chaos if I just buy pieces I like but without a bigger unifying idea.
I have a video like that planned for when I move!
Congratulations on your move. I have to say that I love your home, so clean and fresh all the time. You are my inspiration. Can’t wait to see your new place.
Aww, thank you so much!😊
Congratulations on your move!
Hola 😊. Me ha encantado tú video. Enhorabuena por tu cambio de casa. Seguro que vas a ser muy feliz, sobre todo al lado de tu hijo.
Disfruta mucho de esta experiencia.
Gracias 😘😊
Thank you so much!
@@BenitaLarsson gracias a tí
I love watching your videos and you inspire me to ‘edit’ my life in a way that has helped me live a more intentional life! Happy Friday!
Video idea: "what I kept and I did not keep from my previous flat" and why. "Things that I can / cannot acquire given the new space available". " neighborhood tour". "The best and worst of my new home" or "What I miss from my previous flat", " How to keep minimal in a bigger space and still make it look cozy". "Ikea tour, smart decisions"' " favorite furniture brands"
Great video! I'm going through the same thing right now and that is preparing to move but it won't be for a year. Still, I have decided to go even more minimal in my life even if I wasn't moving. I sort of hit the wall once again, lol, and I have really purged a lot!!! We've decided that at our age it's time for a smaller home that's easier to clean and closer to downtown. So watching this video was a great plus. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and habits with us all.
It’s always good to start decluttering early!
i hope that you and your beloved cats settle in and enjoy your new place. I'm eager to see how you make it your special space. 🪴💕
I’m sure we’ll be happy on that side of town!
I found myself feeling excited for you as I watched, Benita. Mini and Bonus are obviously on-board with your assessment of it being time, and you've previously expressed your enthusiasm for the new neighborhood and all it would bring to your life. So, while I enjoyed seeing you begin the de-clutter-to-move process today, I was more buoyed by your good news. Looking forward to what's to come. All good wishes from here in the U.S.. (Note: I am so impressed by the many convenient options for recycling in Sweden. I could have used that green garden tub, by the way. 😉)
Thanks for being excited for me! 😊
You are fortunate to have so much storage with built in cabinets. I have closets with little shelving in my rental. So for an alternative you have to buy large furniture with storage to keep items tucked away. May you find the perfect place for you and your cats.
Closed storage is great for sure!
So satisfying watching à decluttering video. I was thinking about you yesterday wondering if your apartment had sold. Whoever buys it will be thrilled if they have a cat. The catio is perfect!
I do love me a good declutter!
I wish you well in your move. I would never leave an apartment with a yard! I just have a balcony. A yard is a dream!!
It’s all about the location for me this time 😊
@@BenitaLarsson yes I understand. If you are hours away from your son it makes sense to move closer☺️
I hope you find the home of your dreams. Many blessings in your new home!
Trying to sell things and not turning up….that must be a worldwide thing…very much so here in the UK. A new start is lovely, and will love watching your new move with interest. Cats ( i have one) will move anywhere where there’s comfort xxx
Flaky people are the worst in my book 😬
Dear Benita, you are talented to relax me with your videos, and always to inspire me. After all these years and all your videos into your beautiful home now it is a new start. I really loved this house but I am sure you will be happy close to your family and friends. I wish you all the best with the move and I can't wait to see your new place. Regards from Greece. Hugs for you and for your kitties.
I'm so jealous of the recycling room you have in Sweden. Here in the UK we take stuff that is still in a good usable condition to charity shops, but if you don't have a car transporting bulky items like furniture can be a real hustle: you might put it off altogether and just throw stuff away...
So happy for you!! I can’t wait to see your new place!!
So glad the kitties are still alive and well
Greetings from NYC
A fellow minimalist as well
😃
Thank you so much!😊
I think we are all excited to see how you organize and decorate your new place! Very exciting!!
I’m so exited with you!
That storage room is so bright, clean and tidy! Our cellar units here in Berlin tend to look very different;-))
Over here most are caged in but I've been really lucky with this one!
Ma che bello sapere che tu ami l' Italia ! È da una vita che ti seguo pur non capendo la tua lingua , ma amo il tuo modo di vivere e di affrontare la vita ! Io sono dalla provincia di Treviso ( una cittadina molto carina del Veneto) Buona continuazione cara 😘😘😘
Ciao Benita, I'm an italian follower of yours and I have to say your pronunciation is very good! I'm happy you love my country and I'd like to come back to Sweden in the future.
I wish you all the best and who knows, you might even decide to move to Italy for good 😊 we're corrently melting down due to the unbereable hot temperatures but hopefully there's gonna be some weather change within a few days!
Ciao a presto! (Bye, see ya soon) 💛
Ciao! Hopefully I can visit Italy again sometime in not too far of a future!
Getting rid of things not in use is a joy! Where I currently live there is nowhere to drop off clothes, or furniture, or anything basically. You need to put everything in the trash. I think it's such a waste so
we just end up piling stuff up in the house wherever we can 😩
Such a joy but I hear your pain!
I've been excited for your move since you posted about it on Instagram! Are you hoping to find an apartment or home that's already renovated to your taste or are you planning to get a place that needs work? I would love to see some more home tours as you look at places. The designs are so different compared to here!
I’m open to both! Location is most important this time!
I will miss your patio! I'm sure your new place will be beautiful too.🙂
Another wonderful video! Love that you take into consideration Mini and Bonuses needs. Our elder kitty's needs are are also a priority in regards to where we live. ; )
While we were all stuck at home,RE Covid, I had a massive turn out, why do we hoard,? 2 charities benefited, when they reopened, also the dogs sanctuary, which had a lot of towels. looking forward to seeing your new home, much love from an autumnal Cornwall.
I'm planning to do a move within the next year so I've recently started a declutter. I see no reason to wait until its time to move. This will only make the transition a lot easier when the move date gets closer.
Starting early is such a good move (🤣)
Starting early is such a good move (🤣)
Italy made easy is the best utube chanel!
I'm so excited for you, Benita. Hope you find a place that feels wonderful.
You are such a good cat mama. God Bless you.
Thank you so much!
Hej Benita, first of all, thank you for this video.
Best luck in your selling/moving process 🍀, it's going to be easy peasy, because your apartment and that patio are beautiful....maybe it's already sold😃!!
There are very nice apartments in Stockholm with wonderful french balconies to enjoy in the morning with a coffee or in the evening with a glass of wine 👍🏼and I am looking forward to see how are you going to renovate & decorate it and start your new life, in your new home 🌼🌼😍
Thank you so much!!
