Takk for all inspirasjon her, jeg må nok finne deg på instagram. Ønsker deg og dine alt godt i 2014. Kommer til å tenke på deg i månedsskiftet januar/februar, da skal jeg besøke Stockholm for første gang. Klem fra g ★

I will really miss your blog Benita. I have loved watching you work on 2 houses and all your projects and organizing.

aww! you will be missed..best wishes

I am sorry to see your blog end. It has been one of my favorites for years and I have got a lot of inspiration from it. As someone else mentioned, I also now have a candle drawer!

Enjoy the next adventure(s)!

I will miss reading your stories and seeing your kitties. Also I will miss being inspired by your organization skills. Good luck in whatever comes next!

It'll be sad, not to be able to read you anymore. Your blog was (is !) my number 1 favourite !!
It was great while it lasted, and I wish you all the best for 2014 (and the years after that !).
Let us know (via instagram ?) if you ever pick your blog up again.
A big hug from Germany.

Hi Benita - I have never commented on your blog, but I love it! It has been part of my daily routine for a few years now. I'm going to miss the blog, but look forward to following you on Instagram. You've given me so many good ideas and have been a primary source of inspiration for changes in my own home. Best of luck to you in the future!! Happy New Year from Columbus, OH!

Oh I am so disappointed and sad to see you go.

Thank you it has been a real joy and pleasure to be one of your many fans, you will be sorely missed by many of out here in the real world.

You are one the rare blogs that has always remained true and real and for that I admire you.

Good luck to you and yours for all future projects

Hej Benita,

Jag kommer att sakna dig. Har fölgt bloggen nästan dagligen i flera år. Från det gamla huset och till det nya. Och varit orolig när dina katter har vandrat för långt bort och inte visat sig hemma på flera dagar.
Jag tänker att du har valt att efterleva ett gammalt råd om att "sluta medans leken är god".
Tack för de här åren - Lycka till med det du nu ska igång med :-)

En till här som verkligen kommer att sakna din blogg! Jag har varit en följare i åtminstone fyra år och din blogg har varit en del av min morgonrutin länge! Det är konstigt med bloggande, man tycker man lär känna en person så mycket trots att man aldrig träffats. När jag stötte på dig på den där InDesign-kursen i somras kändes det hel-underligt att du fanns i verkligheten och inte bara i etern! :-) Jag kommer verkligen sakna din blogg men hoppas att du går vidare mot massor av nya spännande saker. Lycka till!
Många kramar,
Karin

Dear Benita
It is certainly bad news to hear you are not writing anymore... I discoverded your blog one year ago and I always found it wonderful. I live very far from you and the way you shared your life was like hearing from a friend far away. I really will miss your posts but I want to thank you for all you showed me. My family always begged me to write to you, because I often told them things about you, your son and pets, about the weather, the little things (or big) you crafted and the beauty of your country. I wish you and your beloved all the best.
Please tell if you start another blog!!!!
Thank you and good luck!
Elisabeth
btw I live in Brasil.... Tell me did you have a white Christmas?

Your blog has been such an inspiration: I will miss it.

All the best to you in your new endeavors.

Benita, I will miss visiting your blog in the morning, I so looked forward to your posts. Best of wishes to you in your next chapter. I will surely keep up with you on Instagram, hope to see lots of Willie, Bonus and Minnie pix. Hugs to you and your family!

Dear Benita, thank you for everything! Your lovely cat drawing
is hanging on our wall very low just where the cat's bowls are so we think
of your special family of four very often!
I will miss your posts a lot! Until now i didn't want to open an istagram
account, since I am already addicted to pinterest and wanted
to avoid another addiction. But if this is the only way to get
some news from you, Istagram will it be.
I wish you luck, health and joy for the time that comes.

Oh Benita, we will miss you. Even when you told us you would not be blogging daily, I still checked daily.

We saw Willie grow up, we all held you in our thoughts during your divorce from Martin, then applauded your friendship with him and his new partner. We have laughed and loved Bonus and Mini. And, marveled at the beautiful transformation of your home(s). Thank you for sharing your life, your ideas, and your vision with us for all of these years. I wish you the very best. Diana from San Francisco

PS - if you change your mind and decide to blog again. We will be here with arms outstretched in a warm welcome.

Dear Benita, only some weeks ago I stumbled upon your blog - and was hooked immediately. I couldn't stop reading and devoured your descriptions of organizing, decluttering, streamlining... And those beautiful photos, and all in white!
You were sent from heaven because due to a lengthy illness in the past two years I could not summon the energy to do or change anything around my apartment, but now my spirits were reawakend and I feel able to tackle the renovation of my kitchen which has long been overdue. Your shining white kitchen will serve as a model (I hope you don't mind). My bathroom, by the way, was redone some years ago - completely in white.
I can't thank you enough for being such an inspiration and for bringing on new energies in me. Although I totally understand your reasons for closing the blog and moving on I am really sad but the entries will remain and I will consult them very often I am sure.
Benita, all the best for you, Wille and the adorable kittens, Petra from Germany
P.S.: I felt so enthusiastic about the "Elljusstake Siluett" that I immediately tried to get it, but it's no longer on the Åhlėns website and I could not find it via Google either. Do you know any source where to get it? Thank you.

Åh, det var verkligen tråkigt att höra, Benita! Men jag klickade direkt in mig på instagram och följer dig där istället. :) Du har varit en stor inspiration sedan jag först började följa din blog, för kanske tre år sedan. Det var en av de första bloggarna jag började följa! Lycka till med allt i fortsättningen, och tack för den här tiden!

Thank you so much for all of your musings! I've loved reading your writing and will miss viewing home life from your perspective. You've inspired me for years. Happy New Year, wishing you much joy and happiness in 2014. To new beginnings!

Åh nej, så sorgligt! Din blogg är ju en av mina favoriter. :(

Tack för de här åren, och lycka till!

Hi Benita,

I discovered your blog in mid-2013 and, though it's only been a short while, I wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed your posts. Your creativity and taste are amazing and I will surely miss your blog. Thanks for sharing and I wish you and Wille the best of luck in your future adventures.

Patricia

I too wanted to thank you very much for the time, effort, and ideas you shared with those of us who follow your blog. But, I wanted to especially wish you and Willi all the best in your new endeavors. You will be missed!

Dear Benita,
The flowers and the caption reminded me of an old post of yours and I believe I immediately sensed what was coming. It made me feel truly sad - which in turn made me feel strange, never having met you in real life and not really knowing you in person (if you know what I mean).
What I really want to say though is THANK YOU so much for all the energy, creativity, love and work you have put into your posts and photos. I have learned a lot from you and about you, about Sweden. I will miss my regular dose of all you Larssons, kitties included. Looking at your beautiful photos (love all the greens and whites and the clear, astehetic arrangements ) and reading about your days usually brought a smile to my face, no matter what.
Thank you again and all the best for 2014. I will miss you!

Thank you Benita! I've been with you almost all of these 5 and a half years. When my babies were born, and I found myself in "baby jail" nursing and keeping the crazy sleep/awake schedule, your blog was an oasis of restful and organized calm! I enjoy following you on Pinterest now and will continue to do so. Happiness to you and Wille who we've seen grow up before our eyes. Thank you for sharing so much!

Hi benita...very best wishes for all you do in your life.... enjoy:) xx

Tack, Benita, for att du givit oss sa mycket av dig sjalv. Alltid inspirerande, klokt och vackert. Allt gott infor det nya aret!

So sad to see you go. I learned so much from you!! Good luck with life!

Benita, I want to thank you so much for the generosity with which you've shared so much of your life! You gave me such an enjoyable window to see both into and out of another woman's point of view, home, country, cats, parenting, decorating--all of it! I'm only a little sad, though, because whenever someone makes a big decision to nurture themselves differently, it's a cause for celebration!

Benita, Happy New Year! Thank you for al the effort, energy and good spirit you put on your blog. I learned a ton of useful things on improving my home, and I always viewed your blog like a good book on home decoration (I still hope you'll publish a book one day!), though to be honest Mini and Bonus were always fun to watch :) I wish you knew how much I enjoyed reading your articles all these years, usually with a nice cup of coffee beside me, taking a short break from the chaos around me. Even though I'm sad "Chez Larsson" ends here I'm happy for you because you explore new interests. That's what life is about and what better new year resolution is there that that? I sincerely hope to see you again in the future in a new blog project! Stacey (from Greece)

Hey Benita,
I hope none of the reasons you have are negative... If they are, I'm sure they are temporary. And for 2014, I wish you good luck and lots of inspiration with your new adventures!
I will miss you!

So sad to hear, that this is the end of You beautiful blog. It has been one of my absolute favourite sites to visit. I've enjoyed and been heavily inspired by your tips around organisation in your home and your elegant simplistic style. I simply love it.
The blog will be missed, but I will change the channel and follow you on IG.
Wish you a happy new year.

Honestly I am sad that you are saying Goodbye. I have enjoyed reading about your DIY projects and your dedication to white. I would like to thank you for blogging in the first place and I hope that you enjoy all the free time you with now have. Good luck.

Mi mancherai tantissimo cara amica del web. Ti auguro tutte le cose più belle: tante stelle da spolverare e solo lacrime di felicità. Ti voglio bene. Paola (Bergamo - Italia)

You will be missed! Best wishes to you, your family and your friends you have mentioned over the years. So glad you are happy and healthy. Thank you for the ideas and inspiration.

I found your blog about 18 months ago and have been a daily follower since that time. Thank you for the sunshine I found here. I shall miss you. Best of luck to you and to your son.

Oh! Yours was one of the first blogs that I began reading...
All the best for the future...
Will you leave the blog up?

I just discovered you this past year and have thoroughly enjoyed your design aethestic, your love of organization, and all things white. All the best to you and yours. A big THANK YOU.

Thank you for the blog. Thanks for sharing your life and your home improvement exploits. I have loved it every bit.

I wish you all the best !

Thank you for the many years of pleasure you have provided to me, and obviously, many others. Yours was one of the first design/organizational blogs I started to follow and the one I enjoyed the most. I especially enjoyed as you created your own space in your new home. Thank you for sharing all of this with us, it has been a treat each and every time you posted. All my best to you, Wille, Mini and Bonus, I also enjoyed the kitty updates:). Good luck and good fortune in whatever you chose to do in the future.

I will miss you, too. It has been a pleasure to read your posts. See you on IG. /annika

Oh, this is sad news! I understand, but it is sad news. I wish you the best!

I've been reading Chez Larsson almost since the beginning and there is nothing I can say that has not already been said, but Benita I will so miss you and your lovely blog. So much inspiration and I do hope you will leave it up for those of us that have made you our go-to for design ideas and your amazing creativity. I wish you every happiness!!! Willy too!! And the kitties!!! ;-)

Hugs and love from across the pond (Louisville Kentucky)

Strange to think how much you, a complete stranger, has affected my life for years, and in so many ways.

We'll never meet. I'm a complete stranger to you, but you've made my life better. I hope you to on to be happy and healthy and have wonderful things in your life. I'm grateful for the little time when our lives have intersected.

Thanks.

Hate to see this end but wish you all the best and I do understand. But still, I will miss your clean lines, simple crisp home decor and your fabulous projects. Thanks for sharing all these years. I wish nothing but the best for you and Willie and the sweet cats. Take care of yourself and enjoy life!!!

I must echo all that has been said above me. You are an inspiration and I hope that you are aware of your talents! Thanks for sharing your life with us...

Thanks Benita, for many happy early morning Blog reads here in the suburbs of Boston. I remember finding your blog around 4 years ago - soon after moving to my current home. I get up before the rest of the house to have some time to myself (two boys, two cats and a dog). I always enjoyed reading your blog with my cup of coffee, often with the sun just coming up.

I was lucky enough to visit Stockholm for work in the fall, and felt that I "knew" it a bit as a result of you!

My best wishes for a happy and healthy 2014 - Thanks you!

Benita,
Good luck in the future! Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us. I love your style, your house. Enjoy your new "free time". Laura

Hi Benita,
I began to follow your blog daily about four years ago, when I adopted a 17 month old boy. Every morning I sat with my tea before he woke up, and enjoyed a glimpse of order, calm and beauty -- with no plastic toys in sight! What a pleasure your blog has been. Please do not take it down, because I too love to check back on prior posts. And I hope you will someday write a book. All the best to you!

Thank you so much for all you have given me over the years! Best wishes to you in all your future endeavors!

Benita -- as with your many other followers, I wish you the very best as you move on from this blog. Thank you for all the writing, photography, styling, thinking, etc etc that you shared with us these many years. May you and Wille and Mini and Bonus have a blessed 2014.

Sad news! But happy, if this means new projects for you.
Your work has been a huge inspiration, and a dose of daily beauty during sometimes difficult times. So, thank you so much! I wish the best for you, Wille, Mini and Bonus.
Hope we can see some of your future work. I´m missing this blog already :)
