Got up before my husband today and was playing with the cats and drinking coffee, and I thought, “I wish there was a new video from Benita to watch right now.” I turned on the tv and opened UA-cam, and 🤯 there is a new Benita video!!! 🎉😂 YAY! This made my day 😂😂🥰
my father used to say, a pile for everything and everything on its pile - he was messy and when he was in the army (WW2) the sergeant told the commander to NOT touch anything on his desk because he knew where everything was...because I worked for my father, I became that way too which was why I needed to learn about decluttering and proper storage of important items....thats where channels like yours come in - it helps me to keep up with my anti-hoarding and clutter-free existence. So thank you for another inspirational video. My wish is for a prosperous 2025 to you and yours ♥
Benita, I love this video! A couple years ago I decluttered Christmas. We’re seniors living in a small condo, but I had always put up a lavishly decorated 5’ tree, a couple of wreaths, Christmas throw pillows, and quite a bit of tabletop decor. Even though everything had been quite expensive, it all went to the donation centre. Now, I have Christmas in a box. In it are: * four small-ish mercury glass battery-powered Christmas trees of different sizes and design * three boxes of small-ish glass ornaments that go into a glass bowl along with hidden battery-powered votive candles * one adorable Christmas teddy bear gifted to us by my sister * one throw with a holly berry and leaf design That’s it, that’s all, and I love each item that was so carefully chosen. Best New Year wishes to you and yours, Benita! 😊
Extreme minimalism for me this Christmas, Just a few lights in my plants. I LOVED it. And bonus: 5mn to declutter the whole thing. It was such a relief this year! A happy year to everyone❤
I was the same and I actually preferred it to having a tree (and the expense!). Just a few lights and candles. Hardly anything to pack away...definitely the way forward for me.
Your videos are always so calm, yet packed with useful information. I love the idea of rearranging the decor. I always leave your channel inspired! xoxo
I’m preparing to move across the US in order to care my folks. I won’t go into what it’s going to take to prepare for the move, but I want to thank you for the inspiration I most definitely needed at this time. Until next time…be well.
What a lovely video to watch and calm me down. Im up to nearly 400 items decluttered in 5 yrs. Keeping count keeps me going. Hugs and love from the UK xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I love your videos, they are calming and beautiful! I too just decluttered over ten years of our business paperwork and bought a shredder at the op-shop and shredded it all. I then spent a few afternoons compressing and making paper bricks for our fire from the shreds. totally recycled and paper clutter free! My mantra for decluttering is a bag or boxful out to one item in. This has made getting rid of stuff and keeping the house clutter free easier. I bet everyone who visits your home feels calm and relaxed when they leave! We find our guests linger longer these days, as the house is a lot calmer and less visually cluttered!
Thank you Benita. Your videos always seem to come at the right time for me. I am into the same feeling at the moment too of resetting after Christmas. I was feeling rather stuck after an overwhelming Christmas season and seeing you tidy in your lovely home has inspired me to carry on with my own journey. Thank you so much. Your home is beauitiful.
Great video! New subscriber here and a small channel. I love your tips! I just put away all of our holiday items yesterday and was able to downsize an entire box of items I didn't use this year or last year. It feels so good to only keep the items that I truly cherish (and that aren't broken). I can't wait to watch more of your videos! Thank you Benita! I'm sending you loving vibes to you.
This year, for christmas decor, I just decorated my 4-piece-candle holder with alder cones I collect plus 2"Herrnhuter" Stars which brought cozy warm light into my flat. It was perfectly cozy!
I feel like this is like a "Best of Benitas Tipps" :-) - Containing the items (= if the allocated space is full, something needs to go), you dont have to declutter everything as once, just keep what you need, use or love, etc. Perfect! For me, having 1 box of decor, 1 box of hobbies (paint, fabric,etc)1 box of tools, 1 small ox of silverware, 1 box of documents..it all helps to contain and urges you to make decisions before stuff accumulates your habitat.
This came out at the perfect time for me! Just got home from my holiday vacation, and have been so motivated to declutter some problematic areas of my home. I was so ready to get things done that I had to pause the video and start making progress (came back to finish the video after😉). Got totally decluttered under both of my sinks and it feels great! Living in a small apartment, keeping things neat and organized is so important, and your videos have helped me so much over the years! Happy Tuesday Benita! P.S. Your dad's mantra of "A place for everything, and everything in its place" has become words to live by for me!
As usual, you’ve inspired me to get organised. I always switch up my small decorative pieces, putting some away in a box for a few months then “unearthing” them when I feel the need to have a fresh display. Helps me to make small changes that add interest to my rooms.
Thank you for another inspirational video. I too loved the relaxing background music. Hope you enjoyed the holidays with your loved ones, including Saga. ♥
Happy New Year, Benita! Thanks for the annual start-of-the-yr org tips. ♡ that we could see photos of your father - You look so much like him! Excited to your next video! 🎉
@BenitaLarsson That will be a beautiful video too. You had wonderful parents and actually do look like the man in the b/w photos. I look forward to your upcoming videos, Benita! 🌼
Wow, my box of Christmas decorations is smaller than Benita's !! That is a first! I'm decluttering more areas in 2025 - inspired by the calm of your videos! Thank you so much for all the inspiration and beautiful, calming videos.
Tomorrow the Christmas decorations are coming down 😊. They went up mid December, as my daughter asked that they go up after her birthday 🎂😊. I need to do a clear out of the large cupboard that is in the laundry room 😮. It will be nice to get stuff out of the house 😊. Thank you for the inspiration, have a lovely week.
Bonjour Benita, meilleurs vœux pour cette nouvelle année. Vos vidéos (les couleurs apaisantes, le minimalisme, l'ordre et l'organisation) sont un vrai bonheur pour les yeux....Elles dégagent une telle sérénité. Merci pour tous vos conseils et idées au travers de tous ces jolis partages. A bientôt ! 🙂
Happy New Year Benita (from Edinburgh where we now have 7.5 hours of daylight!) I only had a paper snowflake (similar to your star) to fold and place in an envelope 😊 I do have a smaller string of stars hanging on my kitchen calendar but plan to leave it there over Winter ❤
I also live by the one in, one out method. Works a treat to ensure our stuff doesn't get out of control. Lovely video as always Benita ❤ Happy New Year 🎉😊
I can relate to your comment about content creators starting any decorations much earlier! As a fellow content creator (culinary industry) I've already done Valentine's day and St, Patricks day :)
Oooo, I gifted myself the same Aesop gift box...I love this brand. I'm the same, my very minimal decor comes down on 27th December. As soon as Christmas is over, I'm ready to welcome in the New Year with an apartment re-set and a good declutter. This year I actually de-cluttered before the holidays which makes life super easy! Happy New Year from Hertfordshire, UK.
I helped Wille look after my grand dog Saga while Victoria was traveling in December and the Aesop box was such a nice thank you gift! I love their scents!
I declutter as I pull things out of Christmas storage for decorating and donate to a thrift store. Then it is available to others to buy and use in the season. Thrift stores are inundated with holiday items after Christmas which don't sell because the season has passed.
Olá, Benita. Seus vídeos sempre me ajudam a ter clareza sobre o que desejo para minha casa. Outro dia ouvi algo que me impactou e não sei se você já conhece: "nada quebrado, nada faltando, nada fora do lugar". Essa frase seria o equivalente para a palavra Shalom. Abraço e Feliz 2025.
You made me laugh. You decluttered some spaces 🤣. I've got a whole house to declutter. Both sons changed housing and went from big to small. Very small. And guess where all is dumped? Oh, well. But the Christmas deco is away and only needs to go to the attic.
I love your videos Benita, I always try to put in practice your tips so everything looks peaceful and cozy in my house as it is in yours. I send you a hug from Chile 🫶🏻
Enjoyed this video. It’s January 7th here in sunny Florida. My Christmas decor always comes down on this day. I don’t decorate until after the first Sunday of Advent. I am in the midst of a massive New Year’s declutter. I find it very gratifying. Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year.
It's so lovely to declutter and tidy after packing Christmas away. We did our usual but then added a big wardrobe declutter too, so much out of the house. Happy new year Benita.
Hello Benita ✨ It was a good morning when I saw you had posted a new vlog ☺ All excellent tips - which I also follow after the holidays. I love organizing and purging items, but having done so for many years, there is less to deal with now. Which is good, but I do love the satisfaction that comes with organizing/purging. Wishing you a good week Benita.....from BC Canada 🐳
Happy New Year. I took my Christmas decorations down yesterday but I have been waiting for this video to give me the motivation I need to get on with the decluttering and cleaning. So, many thanks! All the best.
Dear Benita! Fresh start and a wonderful motivating video for me! Decluttered and wiped out my kitchen yesterday, feels so good!🤩 great tips you presented us, some of them I also use! I wish you a very successful and healthy 2025! And looking forward especially to your summer house videos this year! Cheers and hugs from Iris 🙋♀️👋🤩🤗🍀🍀🍀
Thank you Benita as always for an inspiring video.💖🤩 Thanks to you I no more enjoy being in shops, to be honest all the consuming industry just give me stress and anxiety, I have now the mindset that less is more and I buy quality instead of quantity. And also second hand in first hand. I have found some great quality things at second hand stores😃
Hello Benita, what a lovely relaxing video to start off the New Year - the music in the background was just perfect also! I wish you health and happiness for 2025 🙏😊
This was the first Christmas that I've put away my regular decor when it was time to decorate for the holidays, The whole effect was much more minimalist and relaxing. Cleaning was easier, it was easier on my eyes etc. I'm not ready to put the holiday stuff away yet but I know already I will be decluttering as I go.
My decorations go up the day after Thanksgiving and come down on New Year's day. I also like to declutter holiday decorations when I put them up, so I can send the unwanted items to the secondhand store, and they can be used by someone else for the current season. This was a lovely video, thanks for the inspiration!
Dear Benita hope you had a wonderful New Year ❤ I loved this video & tips especially “one in one out” - it definitely helps. Your home is beautifully decorated & organized. Have a nice week ❤
Enjoyed your latest video with inspirational tips for decluttering. I already put away my Christmas decorations and I barely was able to fit everything into my Xmas box, as I've bought a few new decorations. I'll have to go through it and declutter! Happy New Year! ❤
Happy New Year, Benita! I so look forward to all of your videos, but especially your decluttering ones. They really do inspire me to tackle some much needed decluttering. I do have a question. How many sets of sheets and towels (bath and kitchen) do you have? I live with my husband, and currently my son is also living with us while he looks for a new house. I'd love to cut down on the towels and sheets if I can. Thanks and I will continue to look forward to more videos as the winter progresses!
I have one set of sheets for myself and an extra set for a guest. I wash mine in the morning when I have laundry day and pop them dried on again in the afternoon. I have two bath towels and about five or six hand towel. Basically everything I need for a week and for a guest.
This year I made the ornaments from the toilet paper rolls like you did last year. I ran some warm white fairy lights around a floating shelf with plants and hung the ornaments from the shelf. It was simple but brought a festive element to my space. After the new year I just relocated the lights and put the homemade ornaments in the compost bucket. Nothing to store. No fuss no muss. I also did a 25 item declutter challenge before New Years which became a 52 item declutter. Even as a minimalist I was able to get rid of a lot.
Happy New Year Benita, great tips, I love everything about your home. It’s such a great feeling when one can pare down Christmas decor, and only have a few bins to pack away. Thanks for the video, which I’m always learning valuable tips from each one. Was so nice to see a video pop up. ❤️
Happy New Year Benita🎉 I'm still working away at decluttering but I am making progress. My youngest moved out and I will admit I did a little woohoo! because I gained a guestroom! My sister came for a 4 day visit and we decluttered then painted the room..I will be putting the bed together and arranging the room on the weekend. My mom decluttered constantly, doing a drawer or a closet to keep everything in check. Note: I take after my dad lol. Always enjoy your videos and have even gone back to the beginning when I'm vegging out.
Benita I loved your brunette hair, but you look great blonde as well. I feel like your hair looks a bit thicker! I love decluttering. I do it most days. I wish i wasn't so messy for so many years. I love my bedroom more than I ever have since decluttering a few years ago.
Love your videos-always so inspiring. I’ve really adopted “don’t put it down. Put it away”, and this has REALLY eliminated the mess. It ‘s funny when I catch myself dropping something on a surface “just for a minute”… I just force myself to stop and do it right. Things are really so much easier now- no more piles of things to do later. Happy new year.🩷 Edit.. one way I got rid of the sock mess (no mate, colors ugh).. I tossed them all. Bought all matching socks. Now they all match, so no making pairs- they all go together.
❄️Christmas decor down January 6 for epiphany. ❄️White fairy lights in dark corners all year. Other white fairy lights down by equinox. ❄️White candles inside and outside all year.
If I wasn’t married this would be my dream space. Unfortunately my husband loves lots of Collectibles, displayed nicely but hates to throw anything out. I’m always donating and he started a little decluttering this year.
Hello Benita, how nice to see you, as my mother used to say Christmas, Christmas and after Christmas. I am waiting for new films this year and I wish you and your family All the best in 2025😘🌷🌹

The music (and the nice low volume) were so relaxing in this video!
So glad you enjoyed!
I love the holiday season but it's so refreshing to reset the home after.
I feel exactly the same way!

I’m so happy if the video left you inspired!😊
I remember back in the chezz larsson days.. and how you have evolved into your own style of minimalism. I keep improving myself so inspired...
I have come a long way since then😅
I’m preparing to move across the US in order to care my folks. I won’t go into what it’s going to take to prepare for the move, but I want to thank you for the inspiration I most definitely needed at this time. Until next time…be well.

Hello Benita, what a lovely relaxing video to start off the New Year - the music in the background was just perfect also! I wish you health and happiness for 2025 🙏😊
So glad you enjoyed it! Happy 2025!
I'm inspired! Thank you!
Yay! So happy to hear that!
This was the first Christmas that I've put away my regular decor when it was time to decorate for the holidays, The whole effect was much more minimalist and relaxing. Cleaning was easier, it was easier on my eyes etc. I'm not ready to put the holiday stuff away yet but I know already I will be decluttering as I go.
Having both up can be a lot so I totally understand that you had a cleaner look and feel this year!
My decorations go up the day after Thanksgiving and come down on New Year's day. I also like to declutter holiday decorations when I put them up, so I can send the unwanted items to the secondhand store, and they can be used by someone else for the current season. This was a lovely video, thanks for the inspiration!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Dear Benita hope you had a wonderful New Year ❤ I loved this video & tips especially “one in one out” - it definitely helps. Your home is beautifully decorated & organized. Have a nice week ❤
Thank you! I was in bed by 9.30 but had a great day before and after!😅
❤
Yay! More videos! How did the grand pup like the fleece vest you made her?
She ended up liking it enough for me to start working on the jacket! You can see her wearing the fleece here instagram.com/share/_3AKXGNC9
Enjoyed your latest video with inspirational tips for decluttering. I already put away my Christmas decorations and I barely was able to fit everything into my Xmas box, as I've bought a few new decorations. I'll have to go through it and declutter! Happy New Year! ❤
Happy new year to you too!✨
@@BenitaLarsson I took my books out of my cadenza and dusted all the giant 'dust bunnies' lurking behind the books!
Happy New Year, Benita! I am happy to get some decluttering motivation!
Happy new year to you too!✨
Happy New Year, Benita! I so look forward to all of your videos, but especially your decluttering ones. They really do inspire me to tackle some much needed decluttering. I do have a question. How many sets of sheets and towels (bath and kitchen) do you have? I live with my husband, and currently my son is also living with us while he looks for a new house. I'd love to cut down on the towels and sheets if I can. Thanks and I will continue to look forward to more videos as the winter progresses!
I have one set of sheets for myself and an extra set for a guest. I wash mine in the morning when I have laundry day and pop them dried on again in the afternoon. I have two bath towels and about five or six hand towel. Basically everything I need for a week and for a guest.
Happy New Year to you and your family Benita - love these declutter posts - after watching this I went to sort my wardrobe out 😊
Yay for a closet declutter!💪🏻
This year I made the ornaments from the toilet paper rolls like you did last year. I ran some warm white fairy lights around a floating shelf with plants and hung the ornaments from the shelf. It was simple but brought a festive element to my space. After the new year I just relocated the lights and put the homemade ornaments in the compost bucket. Nothing to store. No fuss no muss.
I also did a 25 item declutter challenge before New Years which became a 52 item declutter. Even as a minimalist I was able to get rid of a lot.
I love that you made the ornaments and now recycle them!
Happy New Year To You And Your Family 😘
Happy new year to you too!
Thank you for inspiring!
Thank you so much for watching!
Happy New Year Benita, great tips, I love everything about your home. It’s such a great feeling when one can pare down Christmas decor, and only have a few bins to pack away. Thanks for the video, which I’m always learning valuable tips from each one. Was so nice to see a video pop up. ❤️
Happy new year and happy if you found some tips useful!
This was definitely motivation for me! Thank you
So happy to hear you found it motivating!
Happy New Year Benita🎉 I'm still working away at decluttering but I am making progress. My youngest moved out and I will admit I did a little woohoo! because I gained a guestroom! My sister came for a 4 day visit and we decluttered then painted the room..I will be putting the bed together and arranging the room on the weekend. My mom decluttered constantly, doing a drawer or a closet to keep everything in check. Note: I take after my dad lol. Always enjoy your videos and have even gone back to the beginning when I'm vegging out.
Happy new year! Working on the room with your sister sounds so fun!
@BenitaLarsson yes we did! Always wine and good food involved in our visits!
Benita I loved your brunette hair, but you look great blonde as well. I feel like your hair looks a bit thicker! I love decluttering. I do it most days. I wish i wasn't so messy for so many years. I love my bedroom more than I ever have since decluttering a few years ago.
Thank you! I think my hair has become thicker and better quality!
@BenitaLarsson hair loss and thinning is incredibly hard to treat. I'm glad that you've found something that seems to actually work! X
Hallo Benita, Happy New Year .🍾🍀Health and Happiness.
Happy new year to you too!✨
Love your videos-always so inspiring. I’ve really adopted “don’t put it down. Put it away”, and this has REALLY eliminated the mess. It ‘s funny when I catch myself dropping something on a surface “just for a minute”… I just force myself to stop and do it right. Things are really so much easier now- no more piles of things to do later.
Happy new year.🩷
Edit.. one way I got rid of the sock mess (no mate, colors ugh).. I tossed them all. Bought all matching socks. Now they all match, so no making pairs- they all go together.
So happy you enjoy them! Both those are great tips!
Happy New Year 😊
Happy new year to you too!🎉
Happy and healthy 2025, Benita and all!
I wish you that too!
❄️Christmas decor down January 6 for epiphany.
❄️White fairy lights in dark corners all year. Other white fairy lights down by equinox.
❄️White candles inside and outside all year.
Sounds like a good plan!
❤ this. So much inspiration ❤
So happy you liked it!
If I wasn’t married this would be my dream space. Unfortunately my husband loves lots of Collectibles, displayed nicely but hates to throw anything out. I’m always donating and he started a little decluttering this year.
I was married to someone who also loves his stuff so I totally get that!
Hello Benita, how nice to see you, as my mother used to say Christmas, Christmas and after Christmas. I am waiting for new films this year and I wish you and your family All the best in 2025😘🌷🌹
I wish you a happy 2025 too!🎉
@@BenitaLarsson❤🤗😘
Happy new year love you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happy new year to you as well!
Happy New Year Benita……..good health and wonderful happiness from: across the seas…❤ Donna in Toronto

Thanks from Canada 🇨🇦 will use tip where you allocate specific amount of space and then respect that to not allow unnecessary overflow
So happy if you found a tip to try!
I’m inspired
Yay! So happy to hear that!
