We cannot wait to have a place to call our own!! Sharing our first days of SPRING with you this week... we can see the light at the end of this long, dark and very VERY cold Canadian winter!!

How Did We Get Here?
Abandoning our Van in Africa bit.ly/2Kff0HT
After an incredible 3 years of living, working, and traveling in our self converted Sprinter Van we made the very tough decision to abandon it in Africa to take a rescue flight back to Canada. As it has for all of us this global pandemic has flipped our world upside down. When our Prime Minister announced that he was sending repatriation flights over to Africa to pick up Canadians who were stuck (due to border closures) we consulted with friends and family closest to us and realized that in this time of crisis we should be back in our home country. Halting our dream of driving around the world was a hard pill to swallow which is why we knew we needed a big project to keep our mind + body busy while social distancing back here in Toronto. Enter building an off-grid tiny house on wheels!! But after nearly 6 months, we realized that our dreams of continuing van life across North America in our new van build were not a current reality with the state of the world. So, we've found ourselves pursuing something we've dreamed of since we first got together 8 years ago... a cabin in the woods 😊
Tour the renovations we've done to our self converted sprinter van:

Who are we?
We're Eamon and Bec, a Toronto-based couple who live full-time in our self converted Sprinter Van!! SUBSCRIBE for wanderlust travel, behind the scenes of what it's really like to live in a van, and videos all about the yummy vegan food we make + eat! VAN LIFE COUPLE.
Our goal here is to inspire you to chase after your own dreams however big (or small... tiny homes anyone?) they may be! We hope to create a community of like-minded, positive individuals who will grow to love and support one another on their own journeys.
As a Canadian myself, I honestly love the direction of your channel these days. I can really vibe with everything you're doing. And the channel feels a little more real lifey you know? Less sensoring and just being yourselves is so great to see!
So glad to hear that you’ve been enjoying our transition to the cabin/ Canadian life 🤗 Thanks Alesha!
@@eamonandbec It’s become SO Canadian lol just replace the snow w rain and u have us in BC🌦🇨🇦 ps...team bec on the shelves obvs
As a Californian,I love this channel’s direction, no matter where ya go!!!!
@@Flowergurl2000 awe thank you so much 🤗
I feel the same way! It’s nice seeing that other people do the same things during the winter. We have a farm and are always renovating or working on it in some way. I’ve literally never seen another channel talking about Canadian winters - appreciate that they do
Who else is excited every Sunday for Eamon and Bec to post?!
Awe thanks so much for joining us for our weekly adventures 🤗!!!
@@eamonandbec totally digging you guys. You are actually bringing my old housebound ass some joy. 😂 Thank you.
Yes!!!!
we all are
I’ve become obsessed!!
I love the way your dad (?) is staring straight at the camera and smiling for the whole shot at 11:08. Very dad behavior and for some reason it just made me happy :)
Even Eamon is on team Bec... he just doesn't realize it yet. But he will... eventually.
Becca’s Dad on his role assembling the Armoire: “Management.” 😂
Hahah he is a VERY good “overseer”
@@eamonandbec he looks just like Steve Martin in cheaper by the dozen!
@@eamonandbec What is the brand of folding chair that he is sitting in. It looks like a really comfortable camp chair.
The fan project just goes to show you don’t need to scrap everything or buy everything new! Such a cool way to use what you have and have it look nice!
Exactly!!!
For sure, that was a work of art.
Right up there with those furn flipping channels 👌
Eamon really has a talent for building and fixing things the ceiling fan came out nice. It’s been so fun watching both of you transform not only the van but now your cabin. So excited for future videos!
last night I asked my boyfriend “do you know what tomorrow is?!?” “Sunday” “it’s Eamon and Bec day!!” “Oh so it’s Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Eamon and Bec day?” “Yes!!” 😂😊 love you guys!!
Hahah awe yay!! So sweet!! Thank you for making us a part of your week every week 🤗
If you like Eamon and Bec like I do. Try Trent and Allie ,they are also building a house in Utah. They post Monday’s and Fridays.
I am with you on this. I would love to see them every day
Love Eamon and Bec and Trent and Allie. Plus LEAW. Leave Everything and Wanders Sara and Luca ❤️

Mosa went straight to Tim. So happy he is comfortable
Tim has been SO incredible with Mossa. We feel EXTRA lucky to have him in our lives!
@@eamonandbec seeing how Tim treats his pet I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Mossa is happy with him. He seems like a genuinely caring guy.
For the record they are called “chest of drawers”. A dresser is lower and wider with about six drawers. An armoire is tall and you can hang clothes in it plus have a few drawers. A wardrobe is like an armoire but it just hangs clothes - sometimes there’s a drawer at the bottom for shoes. Good to have a wife who is a designer.
Omg I don’t know why but I chuckled reading your explanation. And yet it’s so helpful 🙌🤣. Team Bec of course even if she didn’t know what they were called. She knew how E wasn’t using them. 😋🤣
wow i didn't know that there really was a difference between all these words. I just use them interchangeably lol. this was very good to know haha
I should add that a dresser usually has a mirror that goes with it or hangs above it.
So... what is a Bureau?
Thank you for clearing this up for everyone.
Mossa in the background while bec is explaining threadUP, so sweet.❤️🥲❤️❤️
Ha ha I know isn’t he the sweetest puppy?
Aw yes! Besides mine of course😏😏jk they are all so adorable 🥰 😄
FYI, the "Bec" team!!! One thought though (for Eamon especially), please wear a mask when you are painting or working with anything that has fumes, particulate matter, etc, (even outside). Its not good to breathe in. Be safe. Live long. Love greatly.
Who thinks Tim should adopt Mosa? Mosa just loves him ❣️
I was thinking the same thing!
It’s also a sign that Tim is a great person! 🖤
Omg I JUST TYPED THE SAME THING!!!!!!!
Or co-own him.
Sadly, Mossa was most likely used as a guard dog with loyalty to only one person. Never neutered to remain aggressive, it is a hard change to get used to the social life now. Never socialized or played with other dogs, he is 11 and literally is the old man on the porch aged dog, screaming at all the kids that go near his yard. Only E N B could help him now.
I want to say of all the UA-cam peeps who I follow that had to change their channel due to 2021 you two still deliver the same positive energy as before. I love your love for people how you make friends with everyone love animals and love each other. ❤️😍 Thanks for sharing your journey!
Awe thanks JJ! It’s been a tough year for everyone but we really feel so lucky to have one another and the opportunity to continue doing what we LOVE all because of this incredible community 🤗
Definitely Team IKEA!!! Our IKEA kitchen is 12 years old and looks like new - and we still get comments about how great it is. 75% of the rest of the contents of our home is also IKEA, from footstools to silverware, candles and batteries to towels. And it's a 3-hour drive to the nearest store. We've never had an issue assembling, so let me know if you need help and we'll pop over from upstate NY... 😆
Upstate NY? I'm in the Berkshires and want an IKEA kitchen in the worst way. Do you go to New Haven or Brooklyn? Who did you have design? Did you install yourself? Thanks. :-)
@@cathleenmulligan6280 We designed it ourselves. We were going to install it ourselves but we had a contractor do some other work and he offered to install the kitchen for free because he was interested in IKEA kitchens, and we couldn't say no to that. We always go to the one in New Haven but that's because we have ties to Groton, CT. A word of advice: work with the IKEA kitchen designers. We didn't, and inadvertently ordered cabinets with the wrong color frames. Working with a designer would have prevented that. They took care of it, but it cost us an extra two weeks. The kitchen is fantastic, but definitely get the measurements, figure out what you want, but then make an appointment with an in-store designer so that you have all the right parts. It's a long drive if you forgot something, and not everything is in stock at each store. Cabinets are shipped via a trucking company. Best of luck!
I'm sure I'm one of the very few but... I LOVE assembling IKEA furniture! Oh and I'm in agreement with others I am totally "shipping" (can you 'ship' pet adoption?) Tim and Mosa together!
I love assembling Ikea furniture
One thing I love about Eamon and Bec is that they never give up
Thanks Bella!! Giving up is never an option!
Not whilst there's ad revenue to be had...
When there is a will there is a way.
HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO YET JUST WANTED TO SPREAD THE GOOD VIBES FROM HERE IN ENGLAND
Awe thanks Jodi! Sending lots of love and good vibes right back at you!!
I have to say you've stayed true to yourselves more than any youtubers.... Your hilarious.. Born to be wild and forever young
I think everyone over the last week has stood outside at 7 pm and says how much we love that time changed. I've done it at least 5 times this week.
LOL I loved Tim’s correction of his F-bomb 😂
Hahah he's learning quickly all about vlogging and UA-cam 😆
lol, I'm not sure why but the quick quiet "I have no clothes on" then the "she has no clothes on." was so funny to me and I have no idea why.
Haha maybe because it was just so real and relatable? 🙃
Yeah probably
😂😂😂😂😂
Can someone please give you guys an HGTV show or a Netflix show? I just love watching you guys build and transform stuff!
370 days without stepping out of the threshold of my apartment door. Thank you for making my Sunday afternoon awsome! Keep them coming cause I fear I will be staying in much longer than the rest of the world - unless a true miracle happens in myay my ungoverned country. Love, from Brazil.
Wow, you're doing great. Hang tough, there. It's gotta change one of these days.
I'm in California, and I've been the same as you since March 2020. Haven't even stepped out to the backyard during this time.
Health to you!
I know we're not supposed to leave the house, but I need to go out in. my small backyard. I read, putter in my non-garden, just stand there and breathe the fresh air! !! Then it really feels like I've been somewhere when I "go home"!
Your fan would look amazing with the fan blades painted black 🖤🖤
I totally agree Jaylee!!
House projects that can be started and finished in one day is maybe the most satisfying and rewarding feeling ever!
Hahaha 100%!! We honestly put the fan back together before it was totally dry just to say we did it all in one day 😂
@@eamonandbec have totally done that!
We can easily forget how much work has gone into the place. Those before and after shots show what a difference you all have made ! Best of days to all of you !
Your old “armoire” is actually a “chest of drawers.” An armoire is an enclosed piece of furniture, with doors, that acts as a closet.
😎✌️🤙🤘😎
Sunday got a whole lot better!
Ah you guys are the best! thanks so much for tuning in 🌞 🤗
Literally 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼 happy Sunday
I look forward to this every Sunday
⭐️ Been watching your creative amazing life for years & applaud the great work you do. Your vid editing is off the chart! Movie stars ⭐️
Sunday Funday! : )
Woo Hoo!! Nothing like sitting down with a warm cuppa tea and some Eamon & Bec action! 🌟 xx Tania
Thanks Tania!! Hope you enjoy today's episode! Are you as excited for spring as we are?!?
I miss Tim's yoga pants, will he be transitioning to his Spring wardrobe? House is looking great!
Ditto: Eamon surprises me every day with his carpentry, electrical, plumbing, mechanical knowledge as well. He can do anything.
This is the first thing I look for on Sunday mornings.
same! they are the best :)
Thanks so much Erica!! We appreciate that kind of love and support more than we can ever explain!
There will never be a day that I'm not surprised you guys aren't a bigger channel, I've watched every week for years now! I eagerly await 11am on Sundays!!
Awe Kristen. This literally made MY WHOLE DAY 💜!!! Thank you so so much for all the love and support x
@@eamonandbec that's so cool that you replied! Thank you! I live just about an hour away from Toronto, watching your videos every week is like catching up with old friends at this point! 💖
I think you should be on T.V. also.
Love your idea to refurbish the old fan and make it look more modern. Looks great!
Your dad is so funny...
“🙋🏼♂️MANAGEMENT.”
"I'll reduce, I'll donate, I'll contribute" You won't 😂
HAHHAHA ... he won't!
OMG do i know that song 😋🤣🤣🤣
@@eamonandbec how the heck did he ever live in a van????
That was one of my favorite moments from the video, lmao. I love these two.
Team Bec!
I am 100% inspired to spray paint my ceiling fan now too!
Yay! Let us know how it goes Donna!!
Even though Mosa wasn’t great with the family, he looks like he’s really settling well with you guys in the first half of the video.Poor doggie - he looks like he has a good heart. I hope things get better for him so he can be adopted more easily. Also, Bruce has the cutest facial expressions ever!
Thanks for the love to Mossa. Yes overall he’s doing well when it’s just Eamon and I here if we’re too noisy, there’s a construction worker or any visitor he is very anxious and aggressive. Working through a few suggestions on how to help him but it’s certainly been a tricky go 💜
Thank you BEC (because we all know it had to be you) for the “pivot!” insert ❤️😆 love you guys always!
From a US midwesterner, it's so funny to see "warm spring weather" with so much snow on the ground. 🥶😂
Hahah I know eh 😂
Same! I’m watching this with 60 degrees F in Missouri! 😂☀️
Northern WI here. We are similar to this video. It’s better than below zero.
Love spring. Beautiful day in Illinois, sitting on the deck drinking my coffee with the sun beating down on me.
@@saltyone8843 I'm in MO as well!
Literally refreshing for this one! Also timed my early lunch perfectly....just finished cutting the pizza!!
Oh YUM!!! Do you deliver?!?! haha
@@eamonandbec OMG! I wish I could we went all out with one regular crust and one cauliflower🍕 LOVED the vlog as always & love the idea of the glass deck railing! Sending love from the states...stay warm up there! 💕
Hey Bec and Eamon, I'm so sorry for the lost of your dear freind. I can not stop crying . she was and is a shining star that will always be your light in the night sky. Val from Montreal. this to shall pas.
Eamon and Bec make our Sundays😁😁
I’m seriously loving the amount of light that is coming through in your house now!😍
Isn't it incredible?!?! SO excited for the window wall installation that will hopefully be happening this week... talk about NATURAL light!!!
That is going to open up your place so much!
Can’t believe you guys were in the O-town IKEA! Let me know if you’re back in Ottawa sometime and want a COVID safe, budget-friendly tour of the city from a huge fan :)
Hahah O-Town felt like such a big city after months of living in the sticks! Appreciate the offer to get to know the place a little better through a locals eyes 💜
You two truly amaze me how creative you are. Eamon is truly a awesome guy. Have a great day
Thanks so much Karen!! Much love 💕
Sunday is Fun day!!! Eamon makes me tired just watching him! It sure looks like it's still super cold up there. But the frozen lake looks like fun! We don't have much snow left here in Minnesota!
Re IKEA - we did our kitchen three years ago and have been very happy with how the quality is standing up.
Oh so great to hear! We've actually been told this a few times now so will be exploring this for sure! Thanks Bill 😊
@@eamonandbec The feature we like the most is "drawers within drawers". Ask about it at the IKEA store, you'll love it for it's great use of space. If you get the Caesarstone or quartz countertop, make sure you ask what you can clean it with = no abrasives, no ammonia cleaners,
I love when eamon goes outside and it’s snowing and he says “I thought winter was over” 😂🥶
Classic Canadian spring 😂
Sending warm thoughts from Florida 🔆❤️
We spray painted so many things in our house! Vertical blinds, ceiling fans, wall outlet plates, electrical switch plates and even our guest bath shower!
There's Tim ! Good job guys ! 👏👏
This is my guilty pleasure every Sunday! Watching these amazing people and mosa!
Thanks for making us a part of your Sunday routine Amy!!! Mossa says hi 🐕
Plexiglass looks great!!!
Purge Eamon! Family,Mosa,Tim,and lots of hard work. What a team..Such admiration for y'all...
Thanks Mary!!!
that fan transformation thoughhh, love it
Eamon did such a great job eh 👏🏻
I love building ikea furniture. Adult lego 🤣🤣🤣
Coffee and your videos start my Sunday smiling 😊
The fan looks so good!
Love your dad... "Management!" Lol 😆🤣😂😆🤣😂😆🤣
Hahah he’s a great manager!
Sundays are my jam now 😂 well have been for a while. I love ur vids they make me so much happyer xxxx
congrats to all the early people, who else has been watching their videos for years? and i am team bec, eamon you need clothes space 🤣
YAY Sunday has been my favorite day for 2 years now cause it's when you guys post!
AWE thanks Rob!!! You just made my day!!
Dust will really show up on black!
SERIOUSLY you guys are both the cutest human beings on earth! 🤩👫🌎
Those are chest of drawers, technically. An armoire is a tall cabinet with doors. 😀
What you got from Ikea is more like an armoire. Love it!
My dad always said he had more patience than anyone in the world cuz he had never used any of his...I think Eamon is related!
Lol that’s a great one 😆
Love it! Can’t believe how good the ceiling fan came out- great job!!
Eamon really does amaze me every single day 😍
Team Bec all the way. Never too much storage.
It's monday here in the Philippines, and my monday isn't complete without Eamon and Bec's new upload content.
Love your dads comment on being management
I wish i could upload a pic of our rescue Doberman! Also just rescued a one year old pibble! They are both the sweetest dogs ive ever owned! The cabin is looking so AMAZING! love you!
Cabin looks better every Sunday. Mosa,are you keeping him? Both of you love Mosa and he loves you. Stay safe and warm. Walk in Peace.
Hi Janada! We are still hopeful that Mossa will find the right adoptive family 💜
Shirtless, playing hockey, on ice, mid winter, Canadian af. Love it! Much love from Vancouver Island 💕🇨🇦
The outfits look so beautiful on you bec 😊
I’m so happy to see Tim again!
Really loved getting to know y’all through this cabin renovation! It’s been fun learning y’all’s personalities and seeing the creative journey you’ve taken us on with a different narrative than your van life content. Much admiration for the hard work put into videos and the cabin!
Grateful for media content that is uplifting and not based on fear or gloom! Love y'all!
“We’re gonna go to Ottawa!”
Me from Ottawa: 😱😱😱
hahah howdy neighbour!
I can't lie, love you Bec and Eamon but Tim just tickles my fancy everytime he's in a video. 😊.
Hahah no hate here... Tim really is worthy of the praise!! Surprised he wasn't rocking the yoga pants this time around 😜
@@eamonandbec I know!! I have a whole new appreciation for yoga pants since Tim started making an appearance on your channel. ☺️
Team Bec. Put the second armoire in. Once Eamon has gone thru and gotten rid of some of his stuff, you can move it out! Its shaping up! You can buy replacement blades if needed.
I love the Canadian content: towing people using a hockey stick!! Good work family!!! Excellent upcycle on the ceiling fan! Menopausal weather: spring in Canada!
Your music is such a VIBE every single video 🤩
Bec: *talking into the camera
Mosa: “who is she talking to?”
Hahahah I know right 😂 toooooo cute!!!
Team Bec!!! More storage! You can never have enough storage!!!!!
Am I the only one that loves assembling Ikea furniture?
Agreed, not sure why the rest of the world finds it so unbearable 😂
Right? I think it's so easy and fun
YOU GUYS WERE IN OTTAWA! Hope you enjoyed the second (maybe third) largest Ikea in Canada ;)
@Chellenator hello!
LOL! "There's no such thing as a 'quick stop' at Ikea..." I literally said that to myself about 30 seconds before Bec!
5 hours later... LOL
Bec’s energy is just so 🥰🥰 and love you too Eamon
I cant wait to see how pretty it will be in summer
"Yeah it's not that complicated" two seconds later "this is one of the hardest things we've done all day" 😂
Too good 😆
Hilarious
Finally its the time of the week!!!!❤❤❤❤
Sundays are great for me as I get to watch Eamon and Bec you all have so
Much fun, at almost 70 in July I still do crazy stuff like that so enjoy your videos as always sending love and prayers your way ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🌈🌈🌈🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺
Heck ya! Cabin Life coming together fam, love yas!
Wow I absolutely love Eamon and Bec, their videos are awesome and they are such a cute couple 😁
Awe thank you so much Kelsey!!! Much love right back at you!!
The progress on the cabin is incredible ! Always impressed
i also bought an old house with no closets. the struggle is real, guys. also, i put my fan blades in the dishwasher. saves you a lot of trouble.
Hahah for some reason I read this as “I bought an old house with no clothes on” 😂...
@@eamonandbec 😂😂😂
House is looking great.
YASSSSSS, time to chill with Eamon and Bec!!!!
Yahoo!!! Thanks for joining us Sruti!
The fan looks SOOOOO much better! That’s incredible! Great work!
Thanks Susan!!
The ceiling fan looks so much better now. I like the new deck plexiglass railing.
Team Bec all the time 😂
