Honestly, it’s way more interesting as a viewer to watch a stylish person transform a less “aesthetic” space into something interesting, since it’s very relatable to a lot of us watching at home who don’t have an architecturally interesting housing/apartment market to choose from…
Don't ever feel like you are talking too much about the fire - for better or for worse, it is part of your history and it deseves space. love your videos and wishing you and your loved ones all the best <3
Benji, it's you who we are all here for silly
Won't look good on social media?? SIRRR DOYOU know who YOU ARE?????? That house will look **STUNNNNNINGGGG**
Also Benji, don't worry about showing us the process; seeing a house from scratch and evolving over time is what gives it a sense of home and history, making it realistic and relatable to the viewers. I think it's exciting, not boring.
Yay I'm really pro multi generational living. It makes so much sense in this economy and you have your support network right there. Humans have lived like that for far longer than living in individual homes.
woohoo, another new chapter. congratulations and best of luck!
At 81 I bought a small abandoned house which my son renovated for me. In my life I have “jumped off the high diving board” many times in different places. Despite the initial anxiety of leaving a familiar place, some I thought would be my forever home, I’ve had no regrets. So, be…
Paint before you move in! You can probably get it done in a day or two and it will be so much easier
Wow great news for you two and it makes more sense to me than a tiny apartment in NYC. Why? because you love gardening and spending time working on your home environment. As you said your new home is a blank canvas! You will make it fantastic. I am happy you are taking us with yo…
I love that you’re starting with a white box you are going to make it beautiful over time! Excited to see you transform it. It will be so special!!
Your new home is "not the coolest home on the street" ....YET. So happy for you guys!
The house may not be architecturally interesting but the light is beautiful (which is sooooo important) and so is the back yard. It's also so much more relatable and you will transform it beautifully.
OKAAAAAAY not only are you moving, but you BOUGHT A HOUSE 🎉 I’m so excited to see what y’all do with it!
Hey Benji! Congrats on finding a new home! Remember this phrase "Comparison is the thief of joy." There is no need to worry about what other people are doing/showing on social media as long as it works for YOU. You have so much talent, style, and creativity, that home will look F…
I think the house is lovely! You're worrying too much; there's nothing too boring about it whatsoever. It'll be cozy by virtue of having you guys in it. Thank you also for sharing your decision-making process. I love how logically and maturely you walked us through every angle, …
I love Sylvia Plath’s fig tree analogy. What’s really nice about it is thinking you can pick a fig, enjoy it, and come back to the tree another year to choose a different one. This doesn’t have to be your final choice. You can always come back and pick a new path later.
Honestly, sharing the same lot with your parents sounds like a dream to me. Isn't it how it's meant to be?
So frustrating seeing developers snapping up land that could have gone directly to a lovely family 😢 any home you design would have been more beautiful and soulful than whatever generic, cost-cutting box they’d create.
Getting rid of the grey paint will already make a huge difference, and the place has pretty good bones! The floors, that interesting nook, especially the outside, they have a lot of potential I’m so happy for you guys and rlly excited to see what you do with it!
Remember how young y’all are. Young enough to go down and explore many paths. I’m thrilled for y’all. But remember it doesn’t have to be the last stop on your life journey. Relax and enjoy this part of your life. Congratulations.
Yeah! How exciting! Congratulations, I'm so happy for you. 😊
Omgggg such a beautiful video 🥹🤌🏼🍀✨
Social media has totally skewed our perceptions of how things really are right now. It’s honestly way more realistic and refreshing to see that you bought a regular house and plan to share it with your parents for financial/practical reasons. Always loved how straightforward you’…
Good luck moving Benji! I’m a newbie on this channel and am in high school. I love seeing how calm your are as an adult, even tho sdulting is hard! You are so inspiring 💗whatever you do, I know there lays a path which is the best for you ~with love, new sub
I’m so happy for you and Chris to have a home of your own. Your parents are the best! You will never regret having them close. Family is the most important thing.
Good luck with the move! 🎉
It’s a beautiful house! And that yard!! Congratulations on buying your own place!
Im actually so excited for your moving vlogs and you decorating your new home and making it cozy just like you always do!!😭🫶🏼
I love that you bought a builder-grade home. The reality is that that is the only type of home many Americans can afford/have access to. So I'm very excited to see how you work with this type of space!
Benji!! It’s a beautiful house and gorgeous outdoor area! The value of an extended family is simply priceless! I’m so happy for you that you’ve understood this. I’m so happy you will both have this benefit.
cannnot waittt for the amount of content that'll come out of this home!!!!!!
Glad you're staying in the LA area! The house has good bones and great light and it will be fun to watch you guys settle in. Chef's kiss to that beautiful yard.
Family Tribe. You can’t beat that. I’m so happy for all of you.❤💕
A word of advice, don't let your cat outside immediately and just after moving! Let the cat settle in for some weeks if you plan to let it go outside. This to prevent that the cat will wander off and get lost. This is a very common situation where cats disappear because they get…
CONGRATULATIONS!! What I would like to opine on is this: a house is not a home. A home is where you create memories, joy, love, hope dreams and welcome friends and family. Don’t give too much worry about what others will perceive superficially. You will create what you will crea…
if i have faith in anyone turning a builder grade house into a cozy home it’s literally you. you’re first apartment was insanely gorgeoussss for what the apartment looked like on it own
You can almost smell the potential of that home! I can see a library/snug/tv space in the nook with the Trunk sofa and some shiplap- it’s got Joanna Gaines makeover written all over it. Many many congratulations to all 6 of you 😊👋💗
The thing is your new home has so much potential. No beautiful home already has everything that makes it unique built into it, it takes time and vision and also imagination. And I think you and your family will really make it your own. Give it time! It’s okay!
Benji, I'm so happy for you, Chris, and your parents! I am looking forward to your journey of transforming your new home into the place that you feel peaceful and safe.
