I agree. He also demonstrates that decorating is a trial and error process. So real

Agree 100%. Also both Benji and Chris have that same natural ‘chill’ vibe without even trying…
Theo with his friends was the CUTEST thing ever. He would thrive with a sibling 🥰 beautiful updates!!
That picture/painting you had the frame painted is of the Great Zimbabwe ruins in Masvingo, Zimbabwe. This is where over 10000 Mashona people lived around 1100AD. (I’m Shona myself😁).

Also from Zim. I have a photo of myself standing right in the middle of that spot! Not bricks but stones.
We love you Benji and Chris!! 🌳🌾🌼🍂🍁
Your home is really looking good. You guys have done a great job of decorating.
Can't wait for Paige's tour❤
Your home is my favorite house ever. I love the changes you made. They just make sense in every way.
Those little pups are so fricken adorable. So awesome that they got along adorably.
9:34-9:36: This is my favorite area of your home. I agree that keeping those windows clean is integral to the aesthetic of your space.
It just amazes me how creative and talented you are. The green door, the curtains and everything else that you came up with look awesome.
The moment you put the art piece on your kitchen wall I was so satisfied hahaha The black wall was so boring but the knife rack together with the art piece made the wall look so good!
I love how with only a few well-thought out changes you have created a whole new look. So cozy and stylish!!
That photo with the red frame against that black little wall is perfectttttt
5:22: I am dying of cuteness overload🥹5:36, 14:12
All the changes look so so good! And can I just say how much I love how you are with Theo + the two you're dog sitting. I think this every time you show him in vlogs, you treat him so well and he seems really happy and it's so lovely to see.
The dog shaped lamp near your old dining table was sooo cute!!!
You could use the fireplace or fill it with candles if you get a sturdy fireplace screen that will keep Theo out of there. They sell all types and styles of screens. Thanks for sharing!
Your life always looks so peaceful and chilled. I need this energy in my life! 😀🥰
Yes it's me again...😅 I love the shelf styling. I want to achieve that presentation on my shelves.
You have such a good eye for decorating. The shelves and that wall look super nice now. Also, makes that area look bigger. I like the table there way better than that desk. The round table fits that area a lot better. Great job cleaning the windows! The best part for me as a major dog lover was watching those three playing and having fun. I think Theo would love a little playmate. ❤ Looking forward to seeing the home tour. Happy Halloween. 🎃
Love the green door ! Gives a good ‘planty’ vibe!🌿🌱
A super inexpensive and simple way to make the firebox look way better: get Rustoleum fireproof matte black spray paint. Spray all the bricks inside the box. It will look beautiful and intentional. I did this (vacuum out firebox first). It made ALL the difference!
Paige will like the kitchen lamp
I love my Sunday morning coffee with Benji! I get inspired to nest, clean and decorate. :) I love my window squeege too! That dark green is such a nice color.

I checked the paint can and it's a color match custom paint. The paint is from my landlord. I'd love to share the color details, but I'm not sure how to find out that information@@auroraborealis13579

It is such a beautiful color, I agree. Absolutely fetching! Try “Jasper” from @Sherwin-Williams color number 6216 - R: 52 G: 59 B: 54 🐸🌿🐢🦖🌳
Loved seeing your furry neighbors having a sleepover with Theo!!! And all the changes you made in the house are absolutely perfect!!! 😁
I've been really enjoying watching Benji's and Chris's interior/exterior design journey. Benji has great taste and has provided some inspo for my own decorating journey which has been so fulfilling. Creating a space that brings you joy is so important for mental health and everyday living! Look forward to Paige's episode.
Your home is coming along really nicely. You have a very good eye for design and everything fits beautifully. Great job. 👍
Theo and his friends are the cutest thing 😍
Here's a hack: I found that removing the brand name from those standing fans is easy; the plastic circle in the middle often pops right off and with a little fine-grit sandpaper taken to it, you end up with a clean-looking, super-matte center...
If you want a high chromatic red, try priming the dark surface first. You'll see less brush strokes.
13:52 had me cracking up, such classic pet behavior 😂 and coming in from all three sides 😂😂
my suggestion: don’t overthink, everything doesn’t needs an explanation, or one will be buying and selling all one’s life.
The shelves look so good now with all of the art and ceramics!
The windows look awesome!! It's such a relief when you have tools that make cleaning jobs easier. I'm so excited to see your tour with our girl Paige. 🥰
Your crib is really coming along. It looks great. I had to laugh when you guys were cleaning he windows. I haven't cleaned my windows in 20 years. I live on the 17th floor, which makes it a tad problematic. 🤣 Great video. Thanks for sharing. ❤
You should make a day in the life video ! love ur content so much
love watching your videos early in the morning, so relaxing and cozy. A dream of mine is to have a beautiful plant home like you
So soothing. Thanks Benji😊.
I’m obsessed with the living room windows every video, if I lived there I would simply never leave that spot
New setting is looking good❤
Off topic, but BENJI YOUR SKIN LOOKS SO GOOD!
It's funny caz you have all the pieces which I would never pick up but when I see how you put everything together, I would dff want to live there! Your house looks so cozy!😍😍😍
I love watching you channel. Your plants look amazing.
The red frame on that black wall is so inspired! Also, I don’t think the plaid lampshade is giving “Grandma”. I think plaids are coming back! I adore it, as is!
I love your videos, while watching them I can truly relax!!❤❤
I would totally watch a video of you deep cleaning your place 😂
I am so grateful for this and it’s so interesting. Love you both and the dogs ,
Great progress! Very good design decisions! Chef's kiss
I love the green door !!
i never comment but youve been making some FIRE improvements i love this so much. the white book case, the knife block, knife magnet, red frame, is all chefs kiss. these videos calm me down so well i love them to death, thank youuuu
Great updates thus far. The doggies are so cute. The clean windows are a game changer forreal!
Great new look to these changes ! 💚🌱☘️🌵💚
Hi, 🌿🌿🌿🌿 u need to make a video on how u water all ur difficult plants like the staghorns etc. The ones hanging in the walls

I agree two colors in the bookcase would look beautiful

I really enjoy your video. Loved what you did with the bathroom shelving and the curtains.
Now my sunday is complete 😌 blessed with Benji's video
Love the green foot and the red frame and all the other stufffruit holder, lamp etc. ;) thanks for sharing your process!
Benji !! I’m really liking your place!! Love the wall/ shelves white !! And the plants on the shelves !
Love this video, especially how you explain your process and choices. Love the fish lamp!
The picture frame looks so good in red!
The bookshelf is perfect with the same color as the wall. I absolutely love the update of your home.

I really love the feeling of watching your Videos. It's so inspiring and calm. + i think the red frame and the picture look so good together. Thank you for making my day Benji. :)
those pups are sooo cute, Theo stole my heart as always
The new setting with the round table looks beautiful. It was a good choice.
awesome home!
I can see everything coming together and it is looking fantastic!! i'm so glad to be a part of this journey :D sending hugs from argentina
love that artwork. great pick. the red frame on black with plant. would kill for the fish lamp with red polka dots. nice work!
Your house looks very nice and clean. Love the creativity and some of the work arts, paints that you have accomplished in your home too look more tidy and comfortable just the way you like it. It’s always fun to watch your vlogs. ❤💚👍😊👋
I CANNOT! Your design style influences my own so heavily. Absolute perfection!
Such a big booster for monday
Hi birta, I have seen your videos since a time ago, so I love you style life and vlogs, thanks for answering those questions. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 ✨
they're both so cute together
love all of your videos benji!! your voice is so relaxing lol. sorry if that sounds weird but your videos are so chill and always inspires me on decorating, plant stuff.. i always refer back to your videos before i repot or change things in my room for inspo. thanks for all the content!!! hope you are having a happy new year :)
Your idea always deferent & beautiful...
You're house is absolutely beautiful!! I dream of living in a home like this one day😍
Squeegee yes the best tool ever. The windows are so much better cleaned. That will be a monthly task just because.
ah! i love love love ur homeee! 🥺
Cant wait for a holiday vlog😍
Yes, Benji Sunday. Got my coffee. ❤I m in a process of revamping my sons room, more adult luxe. But I feel like I m second guessing myself. Wish me luck.- HI Theo.😊
Love the red framed photo in the kitchen!
I love your home, especially the living room! It sounds like you really like to shop smart. You can cut cords shorter on any lamp and then replace the plug with a very easy-to-install plug. I’ve done it many times. Only takes a minute!
you are so creative
8:48: Voila🎉. Looks tidy😊
I 🫀your sense of style. It's so calming, interesting, and beautiful. You really have something going here. I feel your sensibility and calmness. Great job.
From the beginning you should have painted the background of the shelf’s a super light blue almost white!😊
This is a wholesome video with teamwork too.
Love the new round table and goes well with hanging light above it ❤ also soooooo nice for Theo to have playmates ❤❤❤ they are super cute 🥰
Large salt lamps look cool in a fireplace. I added deer antlers to simulate flames. I like it better than wood, sticks, or any other options that I have seen. Great ambiance or night light. Love the house updates you have done, Benji!
Your videos land late afternoon on Sundays in the UK, perfect timing
love this video
So aesthetic ❤ hope i can decorate my space like that too, it looks aesthetic and relaxing 🌱
I really like your home. I think I will paint a frame red since I seen yours. It looked great. I seen Paiges video already and love it too. Look forward to more from you in the future. Thanks.
Terrycloth towels over microfiber on glass every time. Just a bath towel will cut a job in half. Yes, the squeegee was great for the outside!
@benjiplant You should consider getting a good air purifier if you don’t have one already! They help with cleaning your home air, reducing dust on furniture and floor, and it helps with circulating air in a warm room. I have a Blue Air 211+ Auto which you can customize the color for the filter but I am sure you can find any good one out there in the market that you like.
