I know you may have thought that you've seen the end of the project house for a while, but we're still waiting on some licensing and permits to be finalized before we can rent it out. So in the meantime we figured what the heck... let's just keep on "rolling" with the projects we were putting off until later on down the road.
This weeks project was one we had actually wanted to do from the beginning but being that neither of us are kitchen designers and we're both so non-committal when it comes to something like this, we couldn't pull the trigger. This kitchen is big, you guys, like, full on dance floor big. It needed an island. It was begging for one... but not just any island.
In the end, we're so glad we waited and we couldn't be more happy with how this island turned out! We absolutely love how beautiful, versatile and functional it is.
Ted even said he wants to build another one for our kitchen at home, and I am one thousand percent on board!
We hope you enjoy this weeks episode! Who knows what we'll be doing next!

Nice work y'all. Looks great. Love the family time at the end. Before watching this video I was thinking about past family time with loved ones who are no longer here. Cherish every moment. Love and blessings.
Thank you so much! We appreciate that! I know Christmas time can be difficult for those who have lost loved ones. Ted and I can empathize with you on that, and we absolutely do cherish every moment. It's one of the best things about filming our lives, is that we have these memories forever with our family. Have a blessed week!
Once again, another awesome video. The cabinet is perfect for the kitchen. Your area is a great place to raise a family. Teddy singing and the star falling was too funny. Hope that your family has a blessed Christmas.
Thank you so much! We love it, too! And you're absolutely right, we really love it up here (most of the time!) and it really lends itself to a lot of opportunities for the kids as far as anything outdoors. Not sure what they'd do if they were confided to the city! 🤣 We, too, hope you have a wonderful and blessed Christmas, Charley!
Wonderful job! The island turned out really nice. And the tree is beautiful.
Thanks so much! Yes we definitely found a little gem of a tree! They’re not always this pretty 🤣
YES! That looks amazing.
Thank you!!!
Awesome idea and use of the leftover cabinets. The only issue l see is when others use the island that when they put it back up against the wall unless careful the island would damage the wall and leave a dent or mark on the wall. The Griswald family Christmas tree looks awesome. Was waiting for you guys to forget the saw and dig it out.The movie is my favorite and watched it last night, it’s a staple at Christmas time for my family. The ice at the lake property has never done what is does by you guys but we always were able to clear the snow and skate and even slide down the hill onto the lake . Always the best to your family
That is one of our concerns as well! I was thinking maybe a chair rail or something along that wall to protect it from damage. Good news is, if it does get damaged, I know a guy who can fix pretty much anything. 😉
Lol no digging necessary! We have a Finley and a saw. We watched Christmas Vacation just the other night, too! It's become tradition now that the kids are a little bit older.
Yeah, we don't always get this lucky with the ice! Ive only seen it like this one other time in my life. Conditions have to be just right. So fun still to shovel off a rink and skate or slide onto it from the hill! SO MUCH FUN! Blessings, Joe!
like it alot........let's get a guest in there...God Bless ....lov from south alabama...(we have the AC on today btw)
We are beyond ready! We just have no snow! So uncharacteristic for us this time of year. Hope to be filling that calendar soon!
AC!?!? 😱 I cannot imagine!
nice job but I would have done differently but it nice
Another great job. The island is wonderful and practical. Your tree is very pretty. We have a green pickle too.
Thanks so much, Jill! We absolutely love the island! Lol! Gotta have that green pickle!
OhyVey, where do I even start .... First off, there are only 3 states in the union that even know what it means to cut your own Christmas Tree (Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan -- the U-P)
It is a wonderful and hot chocolate-filled family outing.
However, I'es thinks yous need some help in getting dem non Minnesotians to come visit this wonderful gift from God...
The Jucy Lucy Is The Best Burger You’ll Ever Eat
It seems so simple, but when two local Minnesota bars- The 5-8 Club and Matt’s Bar-put cheese right inside the burger patties and cooked them up, the most delicious cookout treat, the Juicy Lucy, was born.
Yes, Minnesota Is Home To Royalty
Bob Dylan and Prince? Yes, they’re both from Minnesota, so it’s basically the home of absolute music icons.
If you are not into Ice Fishing
Not everyone is as enthused with sitting on the cold ice for hours, and so launched the Art Shanties at Medicine Lake, and now on White Bear Lake. Local artists set up these “shanties”-even a sauna shanty!-on the ice to poke a little fun and host performances.
The Ugliest Fish Makes The Best Festival
The eelpout might be one of the grossest bottom-dwelling fish in the lake, but the International Eelpout Festival, complete with beer, fish fries, and entertainment galore, draws more than 10 times the population of the teeny tiny town of Walker where it’s held.
There’s Always A Cherry On Top
This unique statue bridge has become iconic to Minnesota. The fun Spoonbridge and Cherry may have been questioned when it was first built in the 1980s, but now the Minneapolis wouldn’t be the same without it.
The Best Days Of Summer Are In Minneapolis
Celebrating the city’s natural bodies of water, the Minneapolis Aquatennial has basically anything an outdoor-loving soul could imagine: sand castle competitions, the famous Milk Carton Boat Races, games, parades, shows, and this list could go on and on and on.
Pay No Attention To Those Cheeseheads Next Door
The rivalry between Minnesota and Wisconsin echoes through almost everything locals do, but it comes full throttle when the beloved Minnesota Vikings are playing the Green Bay Packers.
There’s Only One Thing That Brings Two Million Minnesotans Together
The Minnesota State Fair is known as the Great Minnesota Get-Together for good reason-nearly 2 million people attend every year to take in the fattest pig competition, dairy (not fairy) princesses, carnival rides, and eat all kinds of fried food. Deep-fried candy bars anyone?
Calling It The Land Of 10,000 Lakes Is Inaccurate
There’s actually closer to 12,000. They are used to the fullest extent by outdoors-loving Minnesotans for boating, tubing, fishing, and just plain sitting back and staring at the gorgeous views.
They’re Not Quite Nice... They’re Minnesota Nice
Sure the phrase has been tossed around a lot, but as the story goes, Minnesota locals aren’t afraid to speak their minds-but they’ll tell you what they think in the nicest way possible.
Snow Isn’t Just Fun, It’s A Means Of Travel
When you get snow as you get in Minnesota (read: a lot of it), you learn to be adept at traveling as best as you can. And nothing beats cross-country skiing-it’s scenic and it’s efficient.
Minnesota Does Winter Right
You can complain about it, or you could celebrate it, and St. Paul chooses the latter. The St. Paul Winter Carnival is a long-standing, epic winter event with loads of things to do like dog sledding, drinking at the beer festival, seeing ice sculptures, and taking part in the pageant-style parade.
You Can (And Will) Fish Every Month Of The Year
More than a third of Minnesotans know how to fish (and fish well) but bundle up because fishing doesn’t stop when the snow and ice hits. Ice fishing is wildly popular in Minnesota, so pack hot chocolate packets and your warmest gloves. (Watch Grumpy Old Men to truly understand)
This Is Your Grandma’s Marathon
Grab your running sneakers and race to the finish line in gorgeous Canal Park during one of the biggest marathons in the country-and certainly one of the prettiest. Grandma’s Marathon travels along the north shore of Lake Superior, so try to stay focused on the road.
The World’s Largest Ball Of Twine. ‘Nuff Said
Darwin is home to the world’s largest ball of twine-rolled by a single man. That man was legendary Minnesota farmer Francis Johnson.
It’s Home To Legoland-The Real Legoland
Though it’s only open a couple days a week, Brickmania Toyworks will fulfill all the wildest dreams of Lego lovers young and old, with the entire space devoted to the iconic toy. Don't forget to stop by Mall of America to see another Legoland.
FOLKS -- I have to tell ya'll that there is no better place than the Lodge in Pines to start your never-ending desire to move to Minnesota.
Heck, we even found a way to bring a Georgia Peach into the state!!!
Haha what a great tribute to so many of the things that make MN a beautiful destination. Many of them we have yet to explore! Haha I just love this! We absolutely love voyageurs national park and adventuring up the north shore. Also just checking out the open mine pit lakes are breathtaking! That emerald green water. 😍😍😍 it’s the best!
Great looking island. I'll be building my own kitchen island and like how you did the supports for the drop leaf.
Yes!!! Highly recommend doing this! We are not joking when we say, we WILL be making one of these for our kitchen at home! We absolutely love it! Make sure to let us know how yours turns out!
Good morning! Your nutty cone dropping in to see what you're doing today, and spend a little time with my you. I greatly enjoyed this vlog; it was a little different in the balance of project, family and random scenes. Very enjoyable to view and appreciate. The mobile island was a terrific idea, and sourcing remaining cabinets was excellent. It is so functional in multiple ways, and ties right in with the kitchen so seemlessly. Quite and inspiration and very well done you guys! Jenna and Ted, you two make a wonderful team and I can see God's hand in your family, everything you do and the lives you are building together. Ted's sense of humor and comical antics and nature, Jenna's beauty and enthusiastic approach to life is a blessing to watch. You two are a wonderful couple and I can see your reflections in CJ and Finley. There were so many family scenes I loved ... you two dancing and clowning around, the kids at the island toward the end, Clifford and the others, activity out on the ice and Ted's belly slide of course, getting the tree and decorating, and especially Ted singing the tree topper off the tree top and your reaction, Jenna, when it happened (loved your laugh). You are a special couple and family and as odd as it might sound, I consider you friends. It took time and energy for you both to shoot this and certainly for Jenna, for her thoughful and skillful editing and music selections. I appreciate all the work, thoroughly enjoyed this and was blessed by all the family scenes you pieced into this vlog. Wishing you a blessed Christmas and celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior and continued blessings in the new year. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.
Good (now) Afternoon, Larry! Haha sometimes its hard to make it flow when we've done so much over the course of multiple days and trying to get it into a story type format while also not boring people with our "family life." But I sure try! haha
Yes we absolutely love the way the island turned out! We knew we just wanted to paint all the cabinets at once b/c we had planned on using them eventually!
You're 100% correct when you say you see Gods hand in our family. Everything we have, He has given us. And I don't mean monetary things (although they also come from Him) But something Teddy has always said is "We don't have everything money can buy, but we have everything it can't." And that has honestly been so true for us. We have been so blessed, but also made some big sacrifices to be where we are.
Lol we are always having fun, that's for sure! Haha the timing on that star falling... we couldn't have even planned it that way!
We appreciate you and your thoughtful comments! Have a blessed week and Christmas season! 🌲
I LOVE IT!! It's perfect! Exactly what the kitchen needed!! 🤩
Thank you! Yes, we completely agree!
Love everything about you all. The cabinet was Genius!
....and I Love your Tree.❤️🌲❤️
Blessed Christmas.
Awe thank you. Merry Christmas Ted, the kids and me! Have a blessed new year as well!
That was awesome!! Teddy, that was a good one with the tree topper 😂😂! The Christmas tree 🎄 came out awesome!! But as always, y'all killed it!! I hope y'all have a blessed week 🙏 🙏🙏
Haha thanks, Cedric! We hope you have a blessed and wonderful week as well!
@@TheLiFeInPines Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
I love the kitchen but really love the cabinets. Very beautiful.
Thanks so much! 😊 They were a labor of love, but sooo worth it! 🌲
Guys I love your channel, I’m so happy I found y’all, yes I’m southern, from Arkansas! ❤
Yay! 😊Well we are happy you found us too! Hello, from Northern Minnesota! We hope you have a wonderful memorial weekend!🌲😊❤️
I LOVE the kitchen island!!! Y’all always do such fantastic work even when you’ve never done anything like it before! ❤❤❤
Thank you! We love it too! ☺️
Great job on the rolling island. Love it!! Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year to you and the family!
Mike

Merry Christmas to your whole family ❤ May the lord bless you all. Thanks for making 2023 more enjoyable.
Merry Christmas to you as well!! Many blessings in the upcoming year!
WOW CUSTOM MADE FROM VINTAGE CABINETS
Absolutely!!!! 😃
You couldn't have timed it any better...
😊😊
There’s just nothing you guys can’t come up with. I love it, looks great!!❤❤
Awe you’re too sweet! Thank you!
The rolling Island was a terrific idea, so creative. Great jobs, guys, God bless you all, Blessings from NY
Thanks so much! Ted and i appreciate your kind words. Many blessings to you!
Merry Christmas from your friend in Georgia….the house looks amazing and I have loved ALL the videos. I adore the rolling island….so think the second set of castors did the trick . I do miss Ted hitting his head on the light fixture however, I am sure that he doesn’t.
Thank you again for sharing your lives ,your love and your faith .
I found your channel while going thru a season of transition and your videos helped me to maintain positive energy and hope . ❤❤❤
Hi friends! Thanks for stopping in to say hi! We love how the island turned out as well AND, we just got *another* set of new castles today (bigger, beefier and rubberier 🤣)
lol no he doesn’t miss whacking his head on that light!
Thank you so much for sharing that with us. We are so happy to have been able to help keep hope alive for you! That honestly makes what we do more than worth it! 🥰🫶🏼
That is an awesome addition!
Being mobile is a great way to give ya flexibility 😊
Luv the out takes at the end, really makes y'all real 🎉❤
Sometimes ya feel like a nut and sometimes ya don't... LoL
Thanks so much! Yes, you can move it around to different positions to suit your needs! Haha there’s always bound to be bloopers, mistakes, things dropped or broken, freudian slips, falls, etc. We dont always catch them on camera but it’s so much better when we do!
We feel nutty more times than not! 😉
I’m saving my Menards money for fence maintenance; the 28 year old wood fence posts are starting to rot so I’m adding metal t-posts to shore the fence up.
Love the island, wish I had room for one.
You just can’t go wrong with the Menards rebates! Your fence sounds like a perfect way to use that rebate money!
Thank you! We love it too!
Great idea. What is the bench/ counter top on the island made of. I liked it natural colour before the treatment.
The wood butcher block is made from birch 🌳
Don’t comment much but had to tell you that you guys nailed it with the island. It looks to be the perfect addition and so versatile. Sledding looked like so much fun.
Hi there! We’re so happy to hear from you! Thank you so much! We love how it turned out, too.
And yes it was a ton of fun! Glad we got to enjoy it while it lasted! Have a wonderful week! 🌲
Hello fromm Slovakia. I love your videos !
Hi from northern MN! Thank you so much for watching! We’re glad you like the videos! Have a great week! 🌲☺️
Great vid loved the island, the star falling right when Ted plugged it in was so funny! It looked like it exploded off!
Thanks, Jesse! Haha we have no idea how that happened- and with such precise comedic timing. 🤣 oooh good times. lol.
I could not tell in the video, but you might want to make sure you have rubber, not plastic locking casters. You don't want guest leaning up against it and it rolling out and them falling.
They were rubber! The new ones we got were much better, but still smaller than I wanted. I just got new ones in the mail today! Bigger, beefier and truly rubbery! I already can’t wait to get them on!
P.S. We have the same DIY tealight snowmen! 🤗
🥰 ☃️ pretty much all of our ornaments have been homemade by the kids! Love them!
one thing I would make the bottom board thinker and with 3/8 plywood because you want strength for pots and pans and people on it
I was also worried about the 1/2” plywood, but Ted assured me that adding the 2x4 bracing would sturdy it up- and he was right!
love these metal cabinets !!!
They turned out so good! 😊 it really makes us wonder why they stopped making cabinets like this or why they ever went out of style!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOUR FAMILY. THE HOUSE IS BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you! And merry Christmas to you, too! 🌲
You are such a beautiful girl
That was a really nice thing to say. Thank you. 😊
How far is it in km from your home and the airbnb
Around here we talk distance in time. Less than a 10 min drive 😆
Love it! What color paint is on the cabinets?
Thank you! It’s called Retreat by sherwin williams! 😊
Is it wrong that we love the outtakes at the end the most? hahaha 😂
Haha definitely not wrong! 🤣
So are you guys in my brain because i was planning to tell you guys that but let see how your turns out lol
We’ve been wanting an island from the beginning- originally it was going to be stationary, but we’re so glad we didn’t do that!
Thanks for save my money :)
Happy to help! 😉
The island looks great, love the tree decorating, especially like the bubble lights, Is March normally a good time to see the northern lights, we are thinking about trying to book a few days if that's possible. Merry Christmas 😊.
Thank you Steve! Yes! The bubble lights I got from my parents. Very nostalgic for me! Yes, we had some of the best northern lights in YEARS this past March! No guarantee, of course! But this year has been a great year for Northern lights. I hope it continues on that way! Ted and I look forward to seeing you and Jill!
@@TheLiFeInPines are you booked for March or maybe late February?
There are several events in Feb and March up at the resort near us, so those will likely book up, but they're wide open as of now!
We were talking about the weather up your way and, would love to see the northern lights, but thinking May or June would work better for us. Are you still coming south in April, if so hope to take you guys flying 😊.
Just keep us posted! Ted and I are still talking about whether or not we can make April work! We’ll be sure to let you know!
Absolutely gorgeous! You two never cease to amaze me!! ❤
Awe! Thank you, Carla! It was so great to see you the other day! ♡
@@TheLiFeInPines jenna it’s a delight whenever I get to see your beautiful face!
Nice!
Thank you! ☺️
Merry Christmas to your entire family. He is the reason for the season!
Indeed He is! What a thing to celebrate!!
Ted and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a great new year!
I did and happy New Year’s to you s well.
Wonderful!!! Every video is more amazing than the last!!! ❤😊
Thank you so much Carol! Glad you are along for the journey! ☺️
Great idea guys. Excellent execution. Makes the kitchen look finished, not that it wasn’t already.
Thanks so much, Tom! No, you're right and we agree!! It really does complete the kitchen!
So glad to see you guys once again. The addition to the kitchen is a multi-functional wonderful idea. Thanks and blessings to you and your family.
Thanks, Ron! We love how it turned out!!
Amazing
😊
Uff da
Ya, you betcha. 😉
