Your neighbors must be so thankful that you have bought the cottage. You are making it into such a lovely place.

Benita...I just wanted to say what an inspiration and motivator you are. Every time I finish one of your videos, I think, "Stop your (me) procrastinating and just DO it. Benita wouldn't put it off.. and if she did...she would be working on something else that needs to be done!" You obviously know how to channel your inner, much nicer Martha. When I see what you have accomplished over the years (I've been around since the early Chez Larsson days), I realize I have no excuses...and I thank you for that. When it comes to our homes, no matter what our styles are, we can always ask ourselves, "What would Benita do?" The answer always is..."She would get it done!!!"

I swear -- looking at the exterior, this home appears to smile and stand taller now that it is in such good hands. Bless you, Benita, for restoring this property with such care and respect for the original materials. This is magnificent.

I find your patience in restoring this property so soothing. I get so antsy, wanting it all complete! I love your ability to accept and enjoy what you have while chipping away at the chores.
P.S. I adore the smell of linseed oil😊

One thing I really admire is how you add little touches of prettiness to the rooms even if they're not finished. We live in a 1910 house that requires continual upkeep (as well as long term projects) but your house reminds me to not just look at the things that need to be completed, but to look at the loveliness that already exists and to not give into discouragement when I look at the "Big List of Projects."

What a craftsman heart you have! What would be overwhelming to so many, you find a challenge to investigate the history and beauty of the past and restoring it while adapting just enough for the present and future. BRAVA!

I love the Bench Seat you put in the Porch. Just little things you add make it special.

[abdelkarimboukhal]

in every corner of that beautiful house there is a story. thank you Benita for bringing this house back to life

[karenrittner]

You are my favourite YOUTUBER. You are so talented.

[Jeannes]

It’s a lot of work to restore an old house, but I’m sure the satisfaction of doing it yourself is very satisfying.

[Shelly-hk]

I’m so impressed that you scored that glass free hand! 😂 It’s really coming along.❤

[linusik]

wow! the area around the house with the grass already looks so beautiful! I remember how much random stuff was there before. Thank you for shots in night time, looks magical✨

[roliboom]

Benita, I'm totally impressed by your glass cutting and window repair skills! Amazing! The house is looking so great. All the detailed work and dedication on your part and your family is really showing off. By the way, I love your work jeans, they look so cool and crafty chic!

[KarMa-wsll]

This is easily my most favorite episode of yours after the minimal christmas diy one!!!I I love when you show that we dont need all new stuff, how to makes something out of...basically nothing, by resusing availbale items ike the bench plus the videography was like a warm relaxing bath. Thank you.

[lisadougherty]

Benita you have such patience, overwhelming projects are a wonderful challenge for you, and it's so soothing to watch and learn, the farmhouse looks wonderful.

[martinauhl]

Hallo Benita, du bist so talentiert und das Haus sieht schon so gut aus. Und überstürzen würde ich auch nichts, die Arbeit läuft ja nicht weg... Du warst echt fleißig! Sehr schönes gemütliches Haus! 🏠👍🌻

[barbaraboom]

Stunning!! So beautiful ❤️❤️ I even like some of the wallpaper! It tells a a loving story of the house. One of my friends have a house in France and they kept parts of the wallpaper because it adds so much history and atmosphere. You could also make a nice framework with it to hang on the walls. I love watching your video’s and the way you curate your homes. It is so inspiring! Thanks for taking us along and I am looking forward to the next parts!

[annecarter]

Oh, my….. So much has been accomplished in just one year! Great job 👏🏻. Bravo & Brava!!!

[michellepajot]

I’m so happy for you, your son and his girlfriend. It’s a lot of work, I can see that from your videos, but you have the stamina, grit and the eye for what this house can become. It’s already a beautiful home. In the year that you’ve been putting your touches to it….just lovely!

[marshahalper]

What a difference a year makes! Your collective vision and hard work are bringing beautiful results!
