My heart warms when I see things and spaces treated with care. There's something very satisfying about finding a new owner for your things, making sure they will be useful for somebody else if you don't need them anymore. Same thing with a flat or a house you're leaving, making sure it's clean and shiny after being well-used and well-loved so those who come after you can do the same.

Always have admired your attention to detail and the pride you take in completing small, but impactful tasks.

Aww, thank you so much!

Such a smooth move. Actually relaxing to watch. 😉Planning ahead a move is 90% of the work. When I moved from my shared flat after I finished my studies to my own apartment in another city, friends that helped me, said it was their most effective and well-planned move ever. They had helped people before who hadn't packed everything yet and were buzzing around the total chaos with no plan while the helpers didn't know what to do. So I can at least say that I can manage a move properly although I am not a minimalist. 😎 A pro tip is also to pack a box with the most urgent items for the first days after your move. I called it the "number 1 box" with some cups, bowls, plates, cutlery, tea towels, dish soap, some tea/coffee, ramen noodles, oats, *toilet paper* , an electric kettle, your nighty, soap, shower gel, shampoo and other toiletries in it, you need for the first few days. So that you can eat, drink and go to sleep properly without rummaging through several boxes.

@BenitaLarsson

Жыл бұрын

The last on/ first off box makes a lot of sense if you have a bigger home! I was pretty much unpacked on day one with the help of my friend Anne and Wille. I did bring a few things the night before like a few glasses, toilet paper etc😊

Oh yes, i learned the hard way about Number one box! But once i did, i always did it. Just helps so much at a time that is usually stressful.

It’s so sweet that you have that feeling for my old apartment 😊

The 3 homes we have moved into have been filthy from top to bottom on move in day, so instead of unpacking items into cabinets right away, a deep clean of every single room had to be done including shampooing carpets and steaming tiles and hardwoods. Not to mention they were “American sized homes” with our second being 3 stories tall and over 3,000 sq ft. After that house we moved into a 1,200 sq ft house that had to be completely renovated including the flooring so you can imagine that challenge alone. Even subfloor had to be removed and replaced when we renovated our 2 bathrooms. I’m really enjoying our “tiny home” to American standards. Most people couldn’t even imagine having 4 people in such a tiny space but it suits every want and need we have. It has an incredible layout. I can’t wait for more videos of your new place ❤

Congrats on this new chapter in your life, Benita! Glad to hear that you were able to move before Christmas and New Year, it's very symbolic to celebrate them in a new place :) I was fascinated by the detailed cleaning that you did before moving out - is it a common practice where you live or it was your personal decision to leave the old place in such a neat state? I find it very caring and respectful for those who will be moving in there, and it's a shame we don't have such a practice where I live.
