@OurIslandLife thank you ❤ I am native american and was so happy to hear that on the island, they feel everything has a spirit just as we do. That way of thinking is very important to our tribes. May the creator bless you both.
Your videos go so fast. The 13 minutes felt like 2 minutes. I had a little smile on my face the whole time. The chairs match the table perfectly, it’s like they were made for each other. Now you can have little dinner parties with your brother in law and his wife. Until next time, All the best to you both from Brisbane, Australia❤
I'm 72 now but for the first half or more of my adult life we had low tables and mostly sat on the floor; or with cushions. Then we got chairs and a high, western table. We appreciated this wonderful comfort but looking back, I think it was a mistake. We both suffered posture/back and leg issues in later life, because of the chairs. ...but your chairs are lovely!
Yes there’s definitely something to say for low tables and sitting on the floor too as it seems to keep you younger for longer. We are super happy with the table but are also looking forward to many more picknicks and shared meals on the floors 😉
Hi Marjo, it's lovely in the mornings on an island having breakfast🎉. My friends in Panama are transitioning to modern convenience also. While his gal was away, he put in a new laundry room. Once he got the electric installed, him and his dog sat in front of the dryer. Watching it go round and round 🌞. It's all new to him. I'm so proud of him🎉. Very nice chairs, Enjoy! JO JO IN VT 🇺🇲💞
Is it a good chair? Cat, "Yeaaaaaaaah" That cat has good taste. 😄The dinning set is really nice and I love the kitchen and everything I've seen of the house so far. Stay blessed my friends. 💝
Aley-wita. Greetings from Wisconsin, United States. Your new chairs are lovely and look so nice with the table An has made. A bit at a time you can appreciate the new things for your house. Lovely ending❤️
Wow, I love your views! Your home is just amazing, and I think you're very blessed 🙌 All the woodwork in your home is just perfect and compliments the views perfectly. Love your dinning table and chairs!! Thank you for sharing with us. Greetings from Melinda 🎉
Beautiful chairs, enjoy! I thought of you two when I read on the news that a young woman died from an altercation with a fish while surfing in your area, tragic. A rare event.
There was something special about watching those beautiful chairs being unloaded from a boat onto a beach... I've never seen anything like that before 😁 The only thing l really don't envy is having to clean all those windows! Love and thanks from France 🙏💕
I love your videos and watching you both build your home with the things you want. So much joy for such simple things. It does make you grateful for the little things. The least you have the happier you are. I always look forward to seeing your next video. I just live your lifestyle. I couldn't do it myself, but I dream vicariously through you two. OMG I need to wash my windows too!😅😮😂
I love the way your house is coming together slowly but surely. Ian is so good with his hands and before you know it you will have everything you need ❤
I am from Philippines 🇵🇭 and I love your vlogs. Makes me feel relieved from stress and depression. Thank you so much. I am waiting for your videos and hope there is a day in a life vlog and uploads everyday.
Tables and chairs are typical Western city life style; in India villagers sit on the floor and eat from banana leaves on the ground. Cupboards are used though. Basically a hut / house is sort of strong room to protect your valuables in day time when you are out on the fields, and sleep at night.
I love where you live guys it's full of nature, peaceful, and fresh air always and your house is simple and really beautiful, and the lay out is really well planned. Those chairs look amazing. Your front porch is really relaxing, having some coffee and a toast in the morning is a perfect life. ( Coffee is LIFE ) By the way I saw you have a big space on your front yard would you consider growing your own herbs, lettuce, vegetables, citrus trees and some fruit trees ? Home grown food is the the best and healthiest. God bless guys and can't wait to watch your next vlog.
Aww thanks! And yes, we definitely want to plant more things. We already have a few things but definitely not enough. The problem is the soil though. Since we’re so close to the beach it’s mostly sand and little rocks 🫣😬
Hi, I am from the Philippines 🇵🇭. Thank you so much for sharing these therapeutic and authentic videos. Living in the city for quite a while seeing this makes me miss home.
Lovely chairs!! So great to see real chairs artistically made from real wood by a carpenter. So different from the mass produced junk furniture we have in Australia these days 😍
Congratulations on the new chairs. It really looks good and makes the area more complete. Good luck and looking forward to new additions in the house :)
So happy to see another update! The table is the masterpiece, and the chairs are a good match. And, damn this brought me back :) From living in Vietnam and working in remote locations in the 90's I can relate to the craving you can get for simple stuff like cheese and white bread. Or like pate and pickled cucumbers. Or French Fries and mayo. Damn :D Must go to fridge.
Love the chairs match perfectly with the awesome table! Great that you two are combining "flavors/dishes" from each of your origins. Cheese is really easy to make here they call it either "farm cheese" ( whole fat milk (even powdered version) and vinegar &/or lemon juice ). You can add multiples of herbs or leave plain.
I like how honesty u are about living on an island. Keep on sharing. I'm addicted to your videos. Sorry for my bad english. I'm your new subs from Malaysia. ❤
Wow, lovely chairs! It's funny though. I prefer sitting cross legged, so even on our chairs I don't have my feet on the floor most of the time. I sit cross legged just as if I was sitting on the floor! 😅
I'm watching this while listening to my partner complain about having has to wait for the bed delivery guy today 😂 Can you make a video about how you manage trash and packaging without trash services on the island?
Makes me so happy to see your excitement over getting the chairs and your appreciation of every small and big things in your lives!
Thank you! Living here definitely makes us appreciate all the little things 🥰
I love your chairs...but I love your tender loving moments at the end. 🥰❤
🥰🥰🥰
It's great that you clean your house with pleasure.
I'm happy for you. I just love it when you have a new video. If not I still repeat the old ones.
Ooh no way! Thank you so much for the support 🫶🏼
Came here from the "Exploring Alternatives" video and instantly followed. Love you both!
Awesome! Glad you're here 😁

Yes we love going into the jungle. Every time we get back we’re exhausted but also full of energy and gratitude at the same time 🥰

Tables and chairs are typical Western city life style; in India villagers sit on the floor and eat from banana leaves on the ground. Cupboards are used though.
Basically a hut / house is sort of strong room to protect your valuables in day time when you are out on the fields, and sleep at night.
Well done ... love you guys!
Aww thanks!
