[Music] thanks to Bubble for sponsoring today's video I realized that while I'm showing every inch of my apartment in my videos I haven't shared a full tour since the empty apartment tour before I moved in well over a year ago I moved here in November 2022 after 4 years in my previous place in a different area of the city here in Stockholm this building went up in around 1910 and our homeowners association consists of the street side building with apartments and an office under the courtyard the
re are a couple of Apartments below ground that my friends and I like to call the terrarium that space was used as a bakery from the early 1920s and onward then there's the building across the courtyard which is where I live in a second floor walk up while some doors in my building have been been switched out I still have the original one with this beautiful male slot when you open the door you're greeted by another [Music] door this double door situation is common in buildings from this era it
dampens the noise from the stairs outside and also keeps draft at Bay in winter this entry is quite small and has been reconfigured in recent [Music] years the kitchen door used to be here on the left hand side and from what I understand there used to be a transom window above the door I mounted these pegboards and they have been so great for keeping stuff off the floor and for providing hanging space for coats and bags for a little bit of extra storage I hacked an IKEA kids cabinet and created
this storage unit on wheels for shoes and walking [Music] gear it's on Wheels because it will otherwise block the door in case I would want to close it on a rare occasion [Music] on the right is the [Music] bathroom this was only half the space when the apartment was built the toilet was where the shower is now and this part was carved out using part of the entryway I'm grateful that they did extend it but it is still quite [Music] small when I moved in here there was no storage in here aside fr
om the cabinet under the sink I added this wall-mounted cabinet with a mirror for additional [Music] storage when we exit the bathroom and turn the corner where I hung my old mirror you enter into what used to be the living room back in the day welcome to the space that doubles up as a kitchen and a working SL living area for me or should I say Ben venuti in Cina which brings me to the sponsor of this video Babble Babble is one of the top language learning apps in the world and I've been using i
t to finally learn Italian I say finally because I tried in high school again in a weekly course back in the 80s and more recently with another app finally it's sticking bubbles intuitive lessons help you learn a language through real life conversation and I can tell that this is not an AI generated learning app the lessons are designed by real language teachers lessons prepare you to have practical conversations about travel business relationships and more my bucket list includes traveling to p
arts of Italy that I haven't been to like Sicily and I also want to revisit Rome I always enjoy traveling more when I can understand the local language and get by speaking some myself Babble has a few different subscriptions to choose from including a lifetime subscription and they offer a 20-day money back guarantee click the link in the description box get 60% off and start speaking a new language in in 3 weeks with Babble which one would you like to learn okay back to the tour on the right is
the kitchen portion I reconfigured it slightly and switched out the cabinet fronts from green to White this time last year it's so much brighter in here now which is essential for me both for filming but also I need every little bit of light I can get here especially in [Music] Winter looking straight ahead are two big windows that Overlook the courtyard and terrarium I love this view when I moved in before Christmas it was like an advent calendar with all the Cozy lights from the apartments [M
usic] across my dining set is still a work in process I love it but I am looking for some chairs scouring the auction sites weekly in the hopes to finding four vintage chairs until I do I'll keep using the stools on the left side of the space is my home [Music] office it's where I edit these videos and manage my [Music] business I like to keep the floor quite empty so I can use it as a backdrop for filming I also love having this big open floor space for working out I get my yoga mat out of the
closet and roll it out here without having to move any furniture I feel that not having any obstacles makes it so much easier to maintain a regular workout schedule since I bought the summerhouse this corner often holds things that are meant for [Music] there currently that's these big baskets that we'll use for storage at the house there's also another crate that I will add to my stash for the root seller I get them for free at a local wholesale store and I'm hoping to store some apples in them
next [Music] fall the mirror behind is an auction find that Villa and I carried home on a windy day quite the adventure if we turn around you see there's an other entrance/exit to this room hidden behind this door is bonus's litter box my vacuum cleaner and my broom [Music] set [Music] [Music] on the wall between the openings I keep a tall ladder hung on wooden brackets the ceilings in this apartment are quite tall so having this easy access to the ladder is great everyone's not a fan but I lov
e both the look of it as well as the practicality of of [Music] it when you leave the kitchen through this door to go into the next room you go through this little passage the head height is much lower here and that's because there's storage above here on the left is my closet when I moved in there was no hanging space in here so I moved some shelves around and added a rod I keep my clothes in here but also stuff like my workout equipment and my sewing machine bonus also has a little spot in her
e at the bottom for when he wants a private moment there's a step stool in here for easy access to the higher shelves and the storage above the little Passage across from the closet is more storage it's where I keep my office supplies filming equipment tools craft and DIY materials [Music] Etc I also use this as my voiceover Studio which is such an upgrade from the blanket over my head [Music] previously the next room was originally the bedroom I use it as my living [Music] room it's the coziest
space and I love spending time here in the evening after [Music] work [Music] I bought this sofa when I moved in here and I like that it's long enough for someone to sleep over on if [Music] needed [Music] still moving the cushions that came with the sofa around and those are a bit odd-sized to be honest my frame TV is mounted on this wall across from the [Music] sofa [Music] I'm Still Loving the coffee table that I bought from the previous owner of this [Music] apartment inside I keep guest [M
usic] beding [Music] next to it are the double doors to the Next Room the double doors were added when the original kitchen was turned into a [Music] bedroom to me this is the perfect size for a bedroom when you live in a 57 m space I'm not someone who sits in beds and works or watches TV I just use it for sleeping so the fact that there's just room for bed and night stance makes total sense to me I repainted this room and added some blackout curtains and it's a really nice calm [Music] space I
also added a radiator in here because just before I bought this apartment they had added the balcony and the radiator under the former window was removed and yes the balcony a balcony was not a must have but rather a nice to have on my list of requirements while apartment hunting I'm very happy that I have one but I honestly didn't spend a ton of time on it last summer the best parts about it is to have a space to air things out and of course to be able to step outside for a moment but I haven't
really sat out there that [Music] much having it enclosed as a CER for bonus is also great but heat doesn't spend much time there either goes for a little peek and a little sniff and then usually comes back inside I do enjoy looking out at the balcony though and I love having some pots with seasonal flowers and plants [Music] [Music] these pots that are still covered up contain hostas that will emerge as soon as it gets a little bit [Music] warmer I have a basket with geraniums that have been i
n my bedroom storage closet over window win and that's waiting to go outside later this spring so when we step back inside from the balcony there's a storage closet on the right this used to be the cold Pantry when this was a kitchen back in the [Music] day the entry to the kitchen was where my headboard is now the stove used to be here in the corner which you can tell by the [Music] floor today I used the former Pantry to store back stock I rarely used bathroom items as well as cleaning supplie
s gardening tools dirt Etc it's an unusual shape because the building staircases behind it so it requires a bit of tatris for things to fit in aside from these 57 square m there's also a small storage unit in the basement it's a standard thing for one to be included when you buy or rent an apartment here in Sweden so it's not an add-on that I paid extra for the size of these can vary a lot and the one I currently have is on the smaller side I'd say [Music] here I currently keep all the textiles
for the summer house in these bags since we don't want them to get damp in an unheated house over winter the bins mostly contain rarely used tools and paint I also have some fabric for project object some seasonal clothing like winter jackets and boots there's also an emergency bin a holiday bin and a bin with some random things that I can't get rid of for various reasons right next to my storage unit is a communal laundry room where I do laundry once a week and there you have it my 57 Square me

@ic7505

You have a beautiful calm welcoming space. I love the minimal aesthetic, the clean lines and empty spaces. I could breathe easy in that space. You’ve cleverly used every inch of space to its best advantage. I’m glad you are happy there. You have everything one needs to be warm, cozy and at peace. Bonus is a bonus 🐈‍⬛. He’s a wee sweetie.

@penny3767

Sigh. It’s all so… perfectly beautiful and beautifully perfect. You’ve done wonders with that space! Hugs to Mr. B. 🐈‍⬛

@dp2768

Thank you,Benita,your home is so charming! Your fresh and elegant vision inspires me (every one of your videos inspires me in some way)

@susan5661

I love your minimalism and beautiful home aesthetic ❤

@aprillr2158

I borrowed your idea of repurposed ikea door mat for a strip at my patio door. It’s the best thing ever for keeping down dust at the threshold. Also, to set my plants on! Thanks for the share of the calm apartment tour. Always beautiful ❤

@AnnieRed77

so beautiful 🤩 minimalistic but also very cosy!

@puimeiyong4119

Thanks Benita for showing your apartment & the unique structure in another country. Love the spaciousness in your house and the basement storage with communal laundry. We may not get to see the interior of the apartment when we visit a country. Thanks & blessed your family.

@leeeno4302

The apartment is really lovely. Thank you for the full updated tour! You have really maximized the use of your storage spaces... prompts me to rethink my own! I notice you watch Mr. Baumgartner too! Looking forward to your summer home stories!

@linseymain254

It's a real treat watching your videos Benita and getting a wee taster into your life and lifestyle. I'm looking forward to a time when you'll be back at your summer house and to see all the changes you'll be making there. I also love your minimalist home, while I don't collect clutter and like to have a clear out every so often, I think I would call myself a mini/max 😂

@jessiemacleod6100

Your Home is beautiful and cozy, love the style building, and that view over the courtyard is amazing. Its so nice to see Bonus make more appearences in every video, I can just feel the love between you. Until the next one, take care, and sending a big hug to Bonus. ❤❤

@wanderinghome9979

Well, Benita…..I watched you for several years, and I can say with all my oddness…. When SHTF I will miss seeing you….but you have informed my esthetic and simplified my life by your example for so long…it will be like you never left. Thankfully, I don’t expect chaos too soon.

@carlaboldrin9174

Complimenti per il tuo italiano, Benita!!! ❤️🇮🇹

@un_becoming

Old world charm❤

@pigglywiggly1951

love your channel.

@sheilahenderson5973

Thank you for sharing your home, it's beautiful 😍 🤗 🌼

@janetthompson1372

Love your style & simplistic approach. If/when I redo my bathroom I want heated floors & heated towel bar. Not that common in US, but love it.

@MyFocusVaries

Thanks for the lovely update. SICILY! We loved Cefalu and highly recommend it. April was a wonderful time to visit; sunny mid 20s. We landed in Palermo ❤️ beautiful. Grand Hotel et des Palmes was amazing to us Canadians for its historic beauty. I didn't have babbel, but I had my Italian speaking sister 😊

@wephotogal

I love your home, it's so cozy. Living with intention and on purpose - nothing is unnecessary - love that! Hi, Bonus.

@throughtheyears2023

I love you giving us a tour, but I'm not sure it's wise to share your exact building and an apartment location with the whole internet, for security reasons
