So excited when I woke up this morning and saw another vlog from you. I'm going to make a coffee, sit down, dream and watch it. When my adult kids finally leave home.... I hope to downsize like you have, I'm so over the family home, now want small, minimalist cozy home. thanks so much again. more ,more please.
I've just discovered your channel. Wow! It is exactly what I have been looking for. I am trying to transform my home into a more minimalist style. I have been painting & redecorating for the past three years; very slow & steady. I've become quite good at assembling IKEA furniture. It is so time consuming to declutter a life-time of "stuff" but it is happening. I am a retired nurse and I'm doing all the work myself. And..... I live with cats; many of them. They are not help whatsoever!!! I just love the peaceful look of your home. Thank you for your mentoring.
I love your patio. It is so beautiful. I live in such a hot climate I can't grow most of what you have. But they are plants I grew up with because Minnesota has similar weather. These are the most relaxing videos. I just love them.
Looks like the perfect space! I particularly like the table and chairs (great Swedish design). All-in-all, beautiful, calming and presumably easy to keep neat and clean - lovely. More importantly, great for your gorgeous cats!!!
Such a beautiful outdoor space. You have a green thumb as your plants are lovely and thriving. I cannot grow hostas here in Florida USA because the slugs eat them.
I've only watched 2 of your videos and already got a few ideas for my garden ( IKEA's KNODD container for soil: ingenious!) and my lifestyle , and I've been subscribed for approximately 15 minutes - the future looks bright 👍
So nice, love all the furniture! And the fence looks nicer than the old one in my opinion, even if it is higher. You should add one of those wall mounted heating lamps over the dining area to get more use out of the space :)
So helpful -- thank you, Benita! I've been thinking about what to use keep my gardening gear tidy on my porch and the round cabinet is just perfect! Also, love the idea of storing soil in a small trash can and your beautiful use of foliage. So inspirational AND practical. Love it all.
Hi again Benita, I love your catio/patio! You have such a lovely variety of plants, and when everything grows in, you'll have almost complete privacy. Tell me - is your neighbourhood very busy/noisy? It looks like it's actually quite quiet, but that might be just the day that you filmed. I also love your garden furniture, very stylish. We have a very small back yard - most of it is taken up by the deck that my husband built on the back of the house. That's where we have some containers with herbs and tomatoes. The rest of the yard is grass - my husband is not a gardener, but he loves mowing the lawn!
It can be quite noisy actually! There are buses running constantly and I hear birds and seagulls all the time. I used to sleep with my window open but woke up a lot so now I got a fan and close the window at night so I can sleep😅
FABULOUS ! as usual elegant and restful! This is a good timing as i am planning to transform the sad front porch in my current apartment .... got some planters at ikea (on sale) and have various planters (fake stone) to place around (the space is 30 x 7 ) i will be working on this over the next few weekends .
You transformed your little garden into a beautiful oasis clean lines and very relaxing. Do you collect house plants, that I would love to see. I started a few in my house just this week and what a difference it makes
Thanks so much! To be honest I'm not much of an indoor plant gal. I do have a few dotted around for some greenery, but you should see my son's apartments. It's basically a tiny jungle 😆
Love the intentional simple, organized and relaxed your outside space feels. I also like your sleek patio cushions, where did you get it?Thank you for sharing.
I've just discovered your channel, and I'm slowly making my way through your videos. I have been to Stockholm one summer when I was young. My father was Swedish. I just wanted to be in his country and see if I look Swedish. It was wonderful. I have a question: Do Swedes buy their apartments or do they rent them? Thank you ~
Here in Stockholm there’s almost no rental market so I bought my apartment. Wille is lucky to be renting though. More on that in this video ua-cam.com/video/xIZKz8V1ulM/v-deo.html
@@BenitaLarsson Thank you so much for replying. Where I live in southern California, the word 'apartment' means that it is rented. But I know elsewhere, apartments are often bought. That's why I asked. And by the way, I've already watched the video of your son's apartment. :) It is lovely, too.
This is my dream. I ordered the olive Palissade Lounge with Ottoman. I'm doubting between the long table you have or the smaller square Cone table though. What do you think? Also just scrubbed my stone tiles and now just need some vegetation and flowers :)
I think for the lounge with ottoman this table will feel too big! It’s actually a bit too long on the side where I have the bench. Perfect size for the side with the two armchairs though!
Lovely patio and new fence! I bet you are waiting for the summer. It's great to have an outside space especially in these circumstances. Love the big white mug. Could you tell the brand, please.
Thank you! The plants are mostly clematis, ivy, lilacs, hostas, ferns and lady's mantle. The herbs are oregano, thyme, chives, parsley and dill. Also have a lavender and a hydrangea and them there's the non-invasive bamboo.
Subtitles are quite time consuming to create for all videos so I'm adding the most common languages of my followers first. I'll make a note of your request though!
I love that the table and chairs echo the slats of the fence. I agree that the chairs are almost like sculptures in their own right. Beautiful space!
I love everything about your patio. Looks like a lovely, calming place to have a cup of tea or coffee.

I'm so happy to hear you like it! And yes, when you're an empty nester downsizing is the way to go in my opinion 😊
I love the lounges. I would keep them. They are understated and quite attractive.
I love your patio. It looks so good and cozy.
I'm sure your neighbors are also thrilled with the transformation. Gorgeous!
Some of them are a bit hesitant about the fence and netting I'm sure but I've heard a few comment that they like it too, so it's all good in the hood!
@@BenitaLarsson The netting is not intrusive at all. You cleaned up the corner so nicely!
I love your channel. Both the simplicity of your space and your life. The quality of your videos as well as the content are a total pleasure to watch!
Thank you so much for the sweet comment!
They really are. I love them, too. So much.
I'd love to see what the patio and plants look like now! :)
I think your patio is a delightful space. You did well!
So lovely! you have done such a great job... simply beautiful
You're so sweet, thank you!
As always.... NICE JOB ... EVERYTHING! The patio table and chairs are 🙌🏻
I love this set so much!
Omg I love the bin idea , I’m so doing that . Great idea x
Beautiful...I love your hosta!

Welcome to my channel! So happy to hear that you’re enjoying my videos!
Very pretty, such a relaxing place to be.
It is and I love it!
You did it again! Turning your house into a lovely home... in this case a lovely patio. Bravo!!!
Thanks so much!
It's a wonderful, calm & soothing space, and I too love the simple shades of green rather than a sensory overload of flower colors, well done!
Thanks so much! I do love all the green foliage instead of the mixed bouquet look 😊
the fence is a gorgeous transformation! genius idea for the space 💜
100% better than when you first moved in. Nice job!
I love your patio. It is so beautiful. I live in such a hot climate I can't grow most of what you have. But they are plants I grew up with because Minnesota has similar weather. These are the most relaxing videos. I just love them.
I’m so happy you’re enjoying them!
What a beautiful and peaceful patio space.
It did turn out really well, especially now that things are growing and filling in and softening everything 😊
Lovely! What a peaceful and pretty outdoor space you created! I love the transformation. 🥰
I'm so glad you like it!
Great job, Benita! It looks so great and I am sure you and the cats will spend many summer hours out there enjoying the fruits of your labours!
And we have warm weather this weekend! 🙌
Beautiful - as I knew it would be!
Aww, thank you so much!
Looks great. I love the choice of plants and colors! Thank you for sharing this with us.
I'm so happy you like it!
Your videos are so soothing to watch and rewatch during this whole COVID-19 "coronapocalypse" time!
I’m so happy you enjoy them!

I love it too! And we have lovely weather now so I can enjoy it fully!
I can watch this over and over again, best patio tour ever!
Cai Fei Thank you so much!
After your video I’ve splurged on the same furniture. Even though it was on expensive side but no regrets at all.
So pretty and calming ❤️
Those steel chairs are sculptures indeed! Wonderful!
Thanks, they’re pretty great!😊
You have a beautiful sense of esthetics. Simple, minimal, and elegant. I love watching your videos
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful and calming space
Thank you, it turned out well I have to admit 😊
Looks great! I'm also a fan of mostly green when it comes to plants.
Makes for such a calming vibe, right?
Just lovely. Looks very peaceful and relaxing.
Thank you very much!
I live in Southern California in the U.S., but love the Scandinavian aesthetic. I love how you transformed your patio!
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Such a beautiful outdoor space. You have a green thumb as your plants are lovely and thriving. I cannot grow hostas here in Florida USA because the slugs eat them.
It turned out well! This year when it’s all a bit more grown in will be even better!
Your patio is lovely. Gave some ideas for my balcony. Thanks for sharing. 💖
Thank you, Im so happy I was able to inspire a little bit!
What a beautiful patio 🌻
Thank you ☺️

I love your patio, you’ve made great improvements. The furniture is fabulous. 💖
To be honest, not the most comforrable seats in the house but I'll just get some extra cushions out, haha!
Hi Benita. Your patio is elegant and calm just like you. Love your videos and your style. I wish for more! Regards from Greece.
Hi! Thank you so much, so sweet of you to say!
@@BenitaLarsson :)
Beautiful ! Would love to see an update of your patio!
It looks lovely, love the fence and patio furniture.
Thank you, it did turn out well!
No se por que pero.... Amo todo lo escandinavo.. Muchas gracias
Thank you so much for watching!
I like your minimalist look buy hubby said I am not minimalist at all. I am down sizing all my stuff. So we’ll see who is right.😁
Fabulous transformation. Enjoyed
this.
Thank you! So happy to hear that!

Beautiful loved it 😊
Great transformation. Love ♥
Thank you so much!
Love it!!🙌
I'm so happy to hear that!
Всё красиво. А ещё мне нравятся красные маки!
Perfection.
Awww, thank you so much!
Pleasure to watch, thank you 🌷
Thank you so much for watching!😊
Looks lovely.
Thank you so much!
Love your patio😍🌿 Great job!💯
FABULOUS ! as usual elegant and restful!

forgot to add ... i love those chaise lounges too bad they are NOT for sale in the USA (Damn)
Thank you! Good luck with your plans. It's so much fun when it all starts coming together!
Hello, another relaxing video, good job.
Such a beautiful patio! So lovely!
Love your style
Awww, thank you so much!
Looks fantastic. Love your videos
Thank you so much!
So pretty, so wish I had a patio with my apartment xx
I feel really lucky to have found this place with a patio as big and good as this one 🙌
@@BenitaLarsson it is lovely 😊
I love it!
I love that vidéo. Thank you from France
Fatima Chell Merci beaucoup, Fatima!
Peace 🕊️🌱

That would be apartment. He only has one 😅
Love the intentional simple, organized and relaxed your outside space feels. I also like your sleek patio cushions, where did you get it?Thank you for sharing.
The cushions are part of the Hay Palisade furniture set but sold separately.

Beautiful and peaceful! Where did you find the succulent planter? Do you sell it? Hope you are doing well.
I found it in a local store.
Thank you for your reply. Hope you have a great day!
This is my dream. I ordered the olive Palissade Lounge with Ottoman. I'm doubting between the long table you have or the smaller square Cone table though. What do you think? Also just scrubbed my stone tiles and now just need some vegetation and flowers :)
I think for the lounge with ottoman this table will feel too big! It’s actually a bit too long on the side where I have the bench. Perfect size for the side with the two armchairs though!
Thinking about getting the Palisades table and chairs. How have the held up over time? Powder coating durable?
I don’t have that set anymore but for the years I had them they held
up great!
Lovely patio and new fence! I bet you are waiting for the summer. It's great to have an outside space especially in these circumstances. Love the big white mug. Could you tell the brand, please.
It’s by Marimekko!
Lovely patio! Was wondering if the Hay Palissade set gets hot in the sun, being steel and all?
Thanks! We don’t really get that scorching hot weather here but I imagine the would get hot.
Bellisimo😍
Mille grazie!
I love Scandinavian style, I was wondering, where did you get the large pots for the plants?
I got a couple of them at IKEA and one at Zetas in Stockholm
What is the brand of sweater jacket you are wearing? I have been looking for something lightweight I can wear in the fall and it looks comfortable.
It’s by Boomerang, a local brand!
Both me and my wife loved your patio. Only one question: how do you acess this space?
From my living room there’s a door to go out there!
Hello Benita, can you add the name of the garden furniture in the description, please? It has a beautiful design.
It’s Palisade by Hay!
@@BenitaLarsson thanks for answering.:)
Such a lovely space and great job! Could you please write the names of the plants you have there? It would be easier to find and google them...
Thank you! The plants are mostly clematis, ivy, lilacs, hostas, ferns and lady's mantle. The herbs are oregano, thyme, chives, parsley and dill. Also have a lavender and a hydrangea and them there's the non-invasive bamboo.
Thank you!
So schön 🥰 springen die Katzen nicht über den Zaun?
There’s a net over it! There’s another video about that ua-cam.com/video/t3AZMCd4RlU/v-deo.html
@@BenitaLarsson danke dir für deine Antwort. Habe das letzte Wochenende all deine Videos geschaut. Großartig ❤🙏 liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
It looks lovely! May I ask where you got the concrete centrepiece on your table?
Thank yo! It's from a Swedish store called Granit: www.granit.com/se/polystone-planteringsfat-vit
Liebe Benita, warum bist du aus dieser Wohnung weggezogen? Es sieht doch sehr schön aus 💚
I wanted to love closer to my friends and my son who all live in a different area.
I’m looking for outdoor loungers just like yours. What’s the name again?
Fiam Amigo!
Hi, how did you clean the tile?
Which tile do you mean? The pavers? I use this for in between tinyurl.com/24v2oyqq
Fun fact: the subtitles in all your videos are in Italien ✌🏻
I create subtitles in a number of languages so you most likely have Italian as your default which you can change in your settings!
It's such a shame those Hay chairs are so expensive. They must be trademarked as there's no "cheaper version" out there... Believe me I've looked!
Is that netting over your patio? tfs 💗
Yes! There’s also a “catio” video that explains it.
💖
Thank you for showing me a nice courtyard.
Is it possible to see it in Japanese translation?
If possible, please do so.
Subtitles are quite time consuming to create for all videos so I'm adding the most common languages of my followers first. I'll make a note of your request though!
I didnt know leafy plants could grow in Sweden
Seriously?
Do you rent? Or buy your place?
I bought it three years ago.
Wow I wish we had apartments like yours to buy!!! Such a calm and serene place to live❤️
