our new cottage burned down... but we're still moving

- The title sums up this video. We're still moving to the same property, just a different house. The landlord believes there was an electrical fire after some pretty high winds. They're still doing an inspection, so we don't know the cause. But we're safe, and no one got hurt, and that's the most important thing.

Your landlord honestly sounds like a completely wonderful woman, and a fantastic landlord. That's not always the case. This house is so cute. I hope the rebuild goes smooth for Ms. Landlady!!!
So unfortunate that you lost the cottage, but I guess its a blessing in disguise that you are able to live in the nicer place now ❤❤
I love the new house. It has so much cool character. You are so fortunate that you didn't move in your stuff, and plants yet. So happy that no one got hurt.
Omg I’m so sorry! I hope it’s rebuilt soon! (The temporary home is gorgeous btw)
We might end up staying in this home instead. We’ll need to talk with the landlord a bit more, but that’s an option. We want to live in this house for a bit before we make our decision
@@ewe392 lmao UA-camrs can’t afford to buy that in cali
the little cottage had a really nice charm and it is very saddening that it burned down
What a shock. I'm so glad that everyone is safe & am grateful for that silver lining. Wishing your landlord good luck w the cleanup and reconstruction! 🖤
so sorry this happened, but glad no one was hurt.
the other, new house is so cool and original though. so much character, i can't 😩😩😩
Sorry to learn about the cottage, but glad to hear you're looking at the positive results. I don't mind the fireplace. If anything, maybe the plywood would be easier to paint over time if you ever want a new color to refresh the space. Though I do question how resistant it is to catch on fire if it's in use.
The fireplace is no longer functional so we won’t be using it
My eyes poped open when I read the title. I'm glad everyone is ok, and MS landlady is so nice, and hopefully the rebuild goes on smoothly.
That is shocking. I'm so relieved you hadn't yet moved in. This other house looks amazing. I can't wait to see your personal touch on it. It's going to look so good with all your plants and design aesthetic.
Omg, I cannot WAIT to see what you guys do with the window seats in the bedroom!!! It's going to look sooo beautiful
The cottage was the cutest thing, but this other place is equally as gorgeous. So happy that everything worked out in the end.
oh no that’s so sad i’m sorry for you :(
but at least you’re still moving and that’s great!!!
Grief for something you almost had is real. I'm glad that you and Chris have found another home so quickly 🏡 💕 Wishing the owner luck with rebuilding.
Omg stop this place is so much better 😂 YOU TOTALLY LUCKED OUT! YES! The universe wanted you to level up sooner. Lol Can’t wait to see what you do with this place!!! 😊 it’s going to stunning.
still 100% believe you’re going to be on AD within the next 5 years. Happy housewarming to you and your adorable family Benji! 🏡 🪴 🌱❤
I'm so relieved that noone is hurt and your stuff wasn't there - 2 years ago my parents house burnt to the ground with all their (my old) stuff, luckily only their fish didn't make - it all the people were ok and the cats too. ❤
I think when a person is going for vacation or doesnt live any place always must to off the electricity from the main board and every mashine from the socket ,that is the only one way to protect yourself but most people dont do it. Also to not have flamable stuff at all. For example anything that contains flamable substance u can mix it with a little bit spring or silver water ,just to be safe. Even if is alcohol 20 grams to put it will save u while u are smoking your cigarette also. I I was watching some videos here and fire starts from nothing and that even washmashine get on fire by itself....so i never miss safety measures.
The house is a dream come true! You both definitely deserve this opportunity
You are an inspiration to others. You are blessed even in folly. It seems your personality is one where the landlord can sense that you will be an excellent tenant.
absolutely shocking! but as you mentioned, the best possible outcome. the windows in the new home’s living room are stunning, my jaw dropped. no real comment on the fireplace surround, lol. i think the black accent is cool, and (maybe?) could be an interesting spot for your mounted plants, or otherwise filled up with artwork. the black goes well with the windows in the room and staircase.
it’s a super cool space, your collection will have a ton of room. best of luck with the moving process & dealing with construction noises. glad that your move won’t be too disrupted, and you’ll still get to stay near all that beautiful landscaping.
I really like the layout of your new place more than the cottage. If this is in LA, it’s so unique and your plant babies are going to be so happy 🌞
YES LANDLORD ❤❤! That’s such a kind person. Wow! Rare gem
Omg Benji I almost cry about the cottage 😢 but then 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I can’t wait to see what you guys do with the space! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 😍😍 what a cool house,
So sorry for you two, hope you're doing well
The new home has a lot of windows wow ! So much light and space I'm excited to see what you'll do with it
Gosh.... I'm very sorry about this stress... But I'm glad you are going to still live in another home.
The windows in the new kitchen are stunning WOW!
watching you breaking the news with smiley face is sad. I am very sorry for what happened.
Hi Benji, I wanted to share some insight into the plywood being prominently featured in the design elements of your new place. I got really excited when you mentioned this in the vid because plywood is a material I have a more recently acquired respect for! In the past I considered it to be a material that was indicative of a cheap or low quality of construction BUT I few years ago I learned more about it and it changed my feelings about it a lot. Just like linoleum, when plywood was newly invented it was a high end, hard to come by, modern finishing material. Because of learning this I now think of plywood used in vintage or retro architecture as being especially authentic and rare (bc our more modern bias against it means a lot of people have removed it.) For context I work in historic preservation which includes caring for historic structures - it was in this context that I learned about the bourgeois history of plywood.
So glad no one was hurt in the fire 💚
I forwarded your cottage tour to everyone I knew. I was enchanted and so happy for you guys. Heartbreaking news. I m so very sorry. Oh, I ve just viewed your video. While I loved the cottage, definitely a silver lini g. What a wonderfully generous landlord.
for the ply wood fireplace thingie, i think that youre right that hanging things would be easy, so i vote a gallery wall, so you can take advantage of that and also cover it up/make it look more finished. i bet you could personalize it and make it more benji-core by making a plant gallery wall. idk if ive ever seen that before lol
All those windows are a dream for a plant lover!! I'm so excited for you and I'm glad your landlord seems kind so I'm glad everything is working out for you despite the fire!! Wish you both and theo well🤗
Although terrible what happened with the llittle cottage, this bigger one is fantastic. I love the reading window, looking out on these massive plants (strelizia?). Really, really nice. Good luck to you all, moving is a chaotic time. But you’ll be fine.
Very shocking hearing the news about the cottage! Glad nobody was hurt. Your landlady was very kind in offering you this amazing house. The yard, the tile, the windows! I'm so looking forward to future decor and plant tour videos!!
omg, im just happy you weren't in there when it happened.
So glad you and the plants are safe.. 🌻
so sorry this happened :(( but so glad you both didn't get hurt!!
Such a relief that you guys are okay! ❤I was so worried when I read the title
Both houses remind me so much of the houses that lined Laurel canyon back in the sixties and seventies. Both so cute. Very rustic period. And the big shady trees... sigh. So envious. So sad that the cabin burned. A great loss. But with a fire things can always be worse. Glad it was contained as much as it was. But I guess that by this time you're talking about the rebuilding is soon to start. So wonderful to have a cool landlord. Cultivate that relationship.
So excited to see what you do with the new place🙃
What a rollercoaster of an event hope all goes well now .
Thank goodness this didn't happen after you had moved in and you're safe 💜
sucks that that happened, but its good to hear that you have a nice landlord and are able to stay in another nice place!
I didn’t think it could possibly be cooler but it totally is! Can’t wait to see what you do with it ❤
Oh Benji I am so sorry this happened. Sending you Chris and Theo lots of love. 💖 I’m so glad nothing was in the house at the time! The new place looks great!
Congratulations on the new home. I love it and windows are huge! Can’t wait to see what you guys do with it.
Thankfully you and yours are safe! So glad no one was hurt. Sending good vibes your way!
That home is absolutely stunning! Im so glad that you still have such a beautiful space to move into
Wow, that was crazy. So glad things worked out in the end. Can't wait for moving content!
!I was so looking forward to seeing the cottage house, I can imagine how excited you were too. Everything will be fine!!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS HOME ❤ So sorry to hear about the cottage tho! Also the windows in the kitchen at called casement windows and they aren’t quite bay windows either, their actual name is “casement bow windows”
Cannot wait to see what you guys do with the place😆🤘🫶
wow... thank goodness the landlord contacted you and can recover from this.. Keep us posted and this home is nice as well. We appreciate the update, glad no one got hurt
Another great space with lots of potential to make your own. Excited to see what you do. Glad no one was hurt in fire.
glad that no one was hurt!! the new house tho, is gorgeous! i just cant wait to see what u do to that space
Wow this is amazing! I'm so happy this ended up turning out well for y'all. Your landlord is so sweet too. Such a great person to find!
Geez, I can't even imagine how much that sucks! Way to stay positive! We're rooting for you!
Wow! Not the update I was expecting , I’m so glad you guys are ok!! Thank goodness you got to share with us the beautiful property before the accident. It’ll be fun to see what the owner turn the space into 🫶🏼
Congrats on your new place, it's beautiful and the windows will be wonderful for all your plants!
Best of luck and hope it all goes well.
Have fun
Glad no one was harmed either! Whew. Wow the other space is super nice and lots of light! Can’t wait to see how you decorate. Hope you had a nice time in Vietnam!
Oh woah benji my heart aches seeing this. Yet i am so glad no one got hurt and your things are all safe. All good things will come soon. I am excited for the new house! Sending encouragement.
The new place is gorgeous! 😍 I was already super excited for your move to the cottage but now I'm doubly so 🎉
Awesome new home for you both, good luck in moving your plants also!
What a great Outlook, Benji. And I'm so happy for you, that you got something bigger and better. Love it!
The new house is beautiful! I love the landscaping. You will absolutely love it here Beni! Congrats 🎉
That's amazing!. Congratulations on the new home. It's beautiful. There's so much to love!
Congratulations!! Glad it worked out in all ways! ❤
I’m so sorry this happened but I’m happy you love your new home!!!
Oh no! I hope everything goes well ❤❤❤❤
Love the new place! It's definitely much more finished and larger than the original home. Good luck with the move!!!!
OMG! Your new home is insane!!!! I love it and can't wait till you move in and start decorating.
The new house is STUNNING. I'm so happy you're still moving, I love the cottage but ngl, this one is so pretty. I can't wait to see how you're going to decorate it 💕✨✨✨
Can't wait to see more of that kitchen! The curved layout of the windows definitely looks streamline moderne to me
This is absolutely heartbreaking☹️ i was so excited for all the new videos…
Wow, what an emotional shift!! Simultaneous loss and gain.. 💔❤️
Really glad to hear that the house was free of people and your possessions when it was lost. Loving all the windows in the new place!
The new home is absolutely beautiful! I love it soooo much more than the first one. That unfortunate event opened up a great opportunity for a much nicer home. Congrats!
The house looks great, glad you're both alright🌻
So sorry about the cottage but glad that things still turned out positively! The new house is stunning
Wow, I’m happy for you that you got a better deal out of it (lucky you) and I’m glad nobody was hurt. All the best ❤
Oh no that sucks! It was such a beautiful cottage! :( So dreamy! I'm sure that the next house will be made just as dreamy with your love and care (lots of plants) 💗 it's so beautiful already omg ✨
I had the original cottage tour video in my watch later for quite a while just from seeing it scrolling in my suggesteds. Just happened to decide to watch it today, but noticed this when I opened your channel. This new space is so gorgeous, I’m so excited now to see what you make of it!
I’m so jealous! That house is gorgeous!!!
I’m so glad that you three will still be able to move but sorry for your great landlord. It looks beautiful. I have always wanted a reading/sitting/dreaming nook too.
That is so crazy, I am so sorry and happy for you guys at the same time. This house looks more plant friendly with all the nice windows.cant wait for your next video.
So sad, but veryyyy excited on how you will be decorating😁! Congrats u 2
It’s sad about the fire but what a blessing getting into that beautiful home with all those nice windows! I’m excited for you. 😁🌱💚🌱
Cool that looks like really nice place, I'm happy for you guys!
Wow, so sad. But glad you weren't in it, and no one was hurt!
Oh wow that’s unexpected, I do wonder why it burned down. But very lucky that no one was hurt and your things weren’t there yet. Looking forward to the new house! Looks gorgeous! Thank you for the update ❤
What a beautiful alternative to the cottage... it's lovely! I'm sure you'll be happy there.
LOVE the new new house! So happy your book shelves can come with you now-can’t wait to see all the plants and what you do with the space...the fireplace I’m curious to know if there is more brick work underneath the plywood. I think it would look better if you remove the plywood...but hanging your art would be much easier with it there
WOW. I'm so sorry. It was such a cute cottage, but things happen for a reason. Plus you are moving into a gorgeous home. Good luck
The plywood on the fire place gives the room such a cool vibe! It would be cool to turn it into its own art piece, or use it to display your stag-horn ferns! As an architecture student, I’m in loooove with the new place!
What a cool open concept in the new home…congratulations! Regardless of where you live, I know you will make it lovely…glad everyone was ok; life has a way of working it out!💕🌱
the new place looks amazing! so many windows and such cute areas. Glad you got a solution after that sad and shocking news.
The new house looks fantastic can’t wait for all your decorating content ❤
Oh Benji, the house you will be renting now for the same price as the cottage, is super cool. Lots and lots of windows for all of your plants. Your darling little puppy will have lots of windows now also to look outside. I am so excited to be able to go along with you on this journey. Hugs to you both
omg I hope you all are okay!! take your time
oh my god i literally watched your little cabin tour video yesterday. so sorry for the lost, but excited for your new beginning in the other house D:!
So relieved that u hadn’t moved in yet and no one was hurt..life happens…looking forward to another beautiful chapter 🤩💗🎋🌸💫
What a shocker 😢 but definitely happy for your newer/larger/ so much character - home❤ Enjoy your channel.
Sorry to hear! But the bigger house is really cool! Stay safe. Wish you the best!
