Hi there, just thought I would pop onto youtube to say that we are truly overwhelmed by all the lovely comments about our van! We really appreciate it 🥰
Thanks again to the lovely people behind this channel who did such an amazing job of filming our van and making it look its best!
If you have any questions about our build don't hesitate to reach out to us!
- C & E 💃💃
We’re also very glad to see all the positive feedback from our community. 💖
You girls did such an amazing job with the van build and we’re so happy we got the chance to meet you and film your home on wheels. It truly is one of a kind and we’re sure you’ll make great memories on the road, and some friends too ☺️
Much love,
R&I
Such a beautiful van and I love that you built it yourselves with no experience! Impressive!!
You two are AMAZING! I am blown away - your van looks like it was professionally converted!!! The way you thought out every detail and did the job yourselves is more than impressive. I hope you enjoy every single minute of your journey!!!
How do you climb on to the top bed?
Your van is my new all time favorite lay out! Well done ladies! I’m so impressed! Sending congratulations from the Pacific Northwest 🌲🇺🇸🌲
So proud 👏 of these sisters who took on a task that they had never done before. I am a pink girl so I love the pink decor .
I was thinking the same thing, my daughter owns a business called Think Pink Insurance and I’m just contemplating how fun it would be to create a van with similar aesthetics and her logo outside.
“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 NIV
ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame”
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.””
Luke 19:10
God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless y’all!!
2 in the pink 1 in the stink.
Quite beautiful ladies
This layout is awesome and the interior design is lush to boot. I love the double bed and I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing for my kids and I. This is perfect!!! Well done 👍🏼 love it 😍
I agree with you!!💐
ok, this conversion is VERY CLEVER. Have you thought of starting a van conversion business or selling the plans online? This is brilliant & I'm watching the tiny homes & van designs & this has to be one of the best designs ever. So thoughtful 💕 congrats! Have fun!
You two are well on your way to having a profitable future I believe!
very creative build ladies I love love that pull out toiletries tower.
I totally agree. Every detail is brilliant!
Exactly, I was thinking the same thing. They could start a van design business… Really brilliant what they did. So much thought went into the details….
You have many many more to watch.

I'm so in love with the color scheme and smart use of design! Awesome job ladies!
I love the layout of your van and the table at the back. I also love that you’re sisters (besties for life) traveling together.
4 years ….yes 4 I have been watching videos of van builds and I always say well what can be different in this one ……oh my goodness…..this build is the bees knees …..it’s so well thought out ……now I’m like wow another design to remember lol I’m trying to decide what to do with my Nissan NV2500 high roof you just have me loads more to think about. Thanks ladies 😁😁😁😁😄
It’s wonderfully different than other builds. I too have watched endless vantours and most have the same designs so this is an unexpected surprise. If you chooses to do a different design on yours, then please put it on TH-cam. I wish you the best experiences out there.

I thought I was the only one who is so fascinated with these things. I’ve been watching for years too💞
The interior aesthetics of the van is stunning to say the least! A style you might find in a NY apartment or a chic office. One thing right off I would consider changing is access to the front, other than that, Bravo lady's! Well done!
OK. This is incredible. I have moved to the coast and I desperately want a day van for when I surf/body board/dive. I won't sleep in it often at all as I have back problems but this decor and design is immense
This is by far one of the loveliest van designs that I have seen especially because I am such a glam girl. This is beautiful! Well done!
Truly a beautiful conversion!
This is one of the nicest decorated vans I've ever seen. Usually it's all about efficiency and not looks, and you have both!
I love this design, it is great. I would like a shower and loo myself, but you are young and I am a lot older. Well done girls, magnificentspecimen of a camper van.
“Play games with our friends that we don’t actually have” 😂😂😂 same sis same…
That van is bloody gorgeous 🌷🌷🌷
Omg i love these sisters! “Play games with our friends that we don’t have” 😂 and that couch!!! I want one just like that. I just love van conversions that have actual personality not just basic. The shower supplies is genius. I too have a ton😆
I need to see their mom interviewed! How did she raise such amazing women that get along so well? I don’t get along with my sisters at all! They are amazing!!! 😍😍😍😍
OMG! This van is unreal! They must be bursting with pride. I don’t agree with “anybody can do this.” These women are very talented. The layout is awesome. I was blown away by the amount of storage. Great idea on scooter storage. Tables and benches are fantastic. I hope they have many great travels in their gorgeous van.
Yes I believe that maybe they could even get an protected ownership of the table/benches idea & sell the "plans" for a " nominal," amount, to get it started & then all their original
"💡 s" ‼️‼️‼️❣️❣️❣️🤗🙏🏻🙋🏻♀️
The pull out table and bench is amazing and something I have not seen done before in van life videos.
Great attention to function and design.
Very cute! This is one of the most functional and thought out van I’ve seen
You two are amazing. Wishing you the best on your adventure. I will be using many of your ideas. God Bless
It’s so cool to see a very “girly” van build! Absolutely love it 💗🤌🏼✨ Great use of space and pink 😌
What’s girly??
I LOVE YOUR BACKSPLASH IDEA!!!!!! Also you two are very pretty, i just have to say.
I love this van conversion. I would do an escape hatch behind a picture in your seating area. It wouldn't change the look of the van at all. You could even do a secret sliding door. Great job.
Yeah, I would too. Just a camouflaged hatch above the back of the couch, no problem. And kind of cool LOL.
They're so smart, I bet they could pull it off beautifully.
I was thinking that when they mentioned that they where going to pull off a picture and it was there.
That's such a a pretty van,I love the pink and white color scheme.It's a nice layout.I like that outdoor table too.
One of the best van built designs I've seen on TH-cam. And I've watched A LOT of van build videos. Great job!
This one is going on my best van builds list. Well done beautiful ladies!
Great layout! Love the curved cupboard. Creating the wall between the cab and the living space allows for art and makes it feel like a living space and not a van. Genius.
But like others have suggested safety "💡s" ‼️❣️💛🙏🏻🙋🏻♀️
Alright Ladies, time to get a TH-cam channel up and running, so we can follow your adventures, and get ya paid.
Your van is beautiful, your layout and storage, superb, ya did a great job. Looking forward to riding along, so let's get
cracking, get the channel, get the cameras rolling, let's ride !!!!!!
Check out pinned comment, they made a channel, now just have to start filming :)
You van is like no other, beautiful.
Absolutely gorgeous. You all did an amazing job. So impressive that you’d never done any work with power tools etc. You should truly start doing builds for others if you enjoyed it. Congrats on a cozy fabulous home. 🎉
Wooow this is impressive!! Crazy how much you succeed to get in there😱😱😍 and so many special features and lovely design! This is SO well made and thought through, I LOVE it! /Katja
Wooow. Yeah i cant do this. Kudos to the ladies who can keep things organized all the time. It's really admirable. 💜
Love the design. Really love the curved shoe storage and the curved door in the kitchen. And I adore the sofa! I would put in a hidden door or hatch behind one of the prints on the wall, so that I could pop into the driver's seat in an emergency, but I'm an old lady. And hiding the rails of the pullout table and benches is brilliant! Love your design!! 💙
Yes- that would be the ONLY thing I’d change otherwise it’s perfection!! Still separated/insulated against the heat/cold of the cab but quick access- doesn’t have to be a big door.
Original "💡s" ❣️❣️❣️🤗🙏🏻🙋🏻♀️
I take my hat off to you guys . When I was your age I travelled around UK , Ireland , Europe with a sleeping bag , water proof ground sheet and one change of clothes ! I was an American hippie , now I'm a Lawyer admiring what your doing . Keep on truckin !
If I was their friend I’d definitely visit. Hell I don’t know them and still would. Great job ladies!!
Just love the setup n pink deco just lovely so Proud of the two sisters That's Amazing 😍🤗
These young ladies are incredibly clever. This is a very impressive build.
I so love this. It is beautiful so different from the norm. Great job ladies
I really like the pull out table and bench seats in the back.
Love this van design. The color schemes are nice and easy on the eyes. Only thing I would change is get easy access to the driving area without getting out to get up into the front section of the cockpit so to speak in case of the need to leave a potentially threatening situation or get away from bad campers that may be close. Otherwise, I love this design. One of the best I've seen.
So well built, practical and beautiful. Well done girls!
This is the first van home I've seen with a bunk bed! Love it. The design layout, color scheme and outdoor dining table are all ingenious ideas. But, the best part is that you both built it. Congrats on building a beautiful home. All the best on your adventures.
What a great design. Am not a huge fan of pink, but it's all very stylish and soothing decor. (my aunt lived tiny for decades in pink splendour so the van reminds me of her!) I love the curves, the pullout pantry shelves which are very practical, and the table & seats at the rear which are inspired. Find the sun for outdoor living - Spain is great for cheap living. I hope the girls have lots of great travelling experiences. I'm sure this will be a huge bonding experience.
That is my dream! Beautiful beautiful van! Decor is lit and pink is my fav color 😍 gorgeous girls 💞💞💞
Love the pink! Love the sister love and closeness! Love the layout. Go girls! 💕💕
Love all the pink!
YEEESSSSS!!! 😘 What a Phenomenal job, this a beautiful Van conversation loving the color scheme and all of the personal details you guys put in the build. I’m sure you ladies will find your #tribe #vanlife 🚐❤️👭🏻
So stinking cute, the layout is so good
Best decorated van I’ve seen. I love it
That fact that you two are so outdoorsy also I love, i can tell you like to get outside and enjoy nature!!! You both amaze me.
Hey. We are glad that you like this video. You can find Christie's and Emily's IG accounts in the description. They share there all their adventures.
Cheers
Roman & Ioana
This is my favorite van ever! You could be builders for women in mind! It is not only Beautiful but built intelligently! I Love the pink!! Amazing!! Go Girls, Awesome Job!!
Well, your van build is absolutely gorgeous! I watch these van builds all the time and I have to say this is the nicest one I've seen. Just lovely!
This is the best put together live in van I’ve seen so far. There are many nice ones but this is just beautiful, clean and tidy. Love the curves in the table.
Omg they are really clever!! Good job girls #sistersareclever #sistersrock #ugogirls y'all really used the space wisely!! Making a table & seats out of ur garage is really cool! I think that y'all able to travel the countries together is brilliant as well! I'm in my 60's and I'm so jealous! It would have been nice to put a lil door end of ur couch ( sofa) just a small one that one of y'all could crawl thru in case of emergency !!Me & my sister are fighting and make sure you two don't fight with hurtful words!! Have fun & stay safe! ! 🤩👍👊👏
i love it all. even the printed wallpaper. Yes nice having a pot on the wall. creative design! nice flow. everything! thank u for sharing!!
Good morning from Antigua 🇦🇬
I love this van. Totally different from the others. Interesting!!!! Blessings
WOW...YOUR VAN IS ABSOLUTLEY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
I could never live in something so small but its lovely designed. Kudo's to both of you. Stay safe out there. Happy trails 👣
This is the smartest design that I have seen! Wow! To fit two beds and still have all that storage is super clever. Not to mention the cute style.
Sisters , how lovely , it's a family affair and so touching to see sisters so close . The van is beautiful , it's a very different kind of build , like almost every van I've seen in America are like one van , they all look the same , like built by one person or something , which of course is getting boring . But finally something different with some happy colour (pink) not everything white coloured like a hospital or an insane asylum like most vans . Your van girls is faaabuulous 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Thank you so much! We knew we wanted our van to stand out! And we couldnt be happier with the results and are delighted you like it too! We have recently started posting TH-cam video, so if you want to find out more about our van, stay tuned. Our next video is a full cost break down of the conversion! :)
Beautiful, rarely have I seen such combination of bright colors and use of wallpaper. 😊
Im glad you like it! 🥰
I think you’ve done an absolutely wonderful job. The fact that you went through that horrible experience with the first bunch of repairs and the new engine would’ve been so frustrating. It looks like you’ve come out the other side. There’s always lessons to learn and you will always get through any hardship. Fantastic teamwork and best of luck with all your travelling.
One of the prettiest interiors I have seen. Have lots of fun ladies 😊
Tastefully designed and the color is great--ladies. I love the shower color and the living area is so inviting. Great idea to place the shoe storage at the front and the bunk beds is great. Happy travelling.
You 2 are amazing. I hope you continue forever...explore!
this is absolutely my favourite van ever! Everything is so well planned and these sisters have such lovely personalities. Im genuinely astonished at how perfect this van is, i think it really is worth taking the time to think meticulously about the van before building it :)
7:54-7:55. Yeah. Love 😍 that. "Two girls, tough. I feel like we can take on anyone" Super!
This the best Ive seen actually
This is by far the prettiest build I've seen.
Your van is beautiful the colour scheme is so warm and cosy.
Out of all vans I've seen this is by far the best... omg I LOVE it
Wow ladies, fantastic I am really impressed... and lovely for two sisters to travel together. ⭐️
I love your build. It’s minimal yet has everything that one would need. It’s very tastefully decorated and everything appears to be efficiently placed. 😎.
Cut a hole in middle picture in living room, just in case u need a quick getaway, u could crawl thru it.
Your van layout is awesome. Great job Ladies
Absolutely perfect van, adore the colours, layout, shoe storage and those pull out cupboards. I love how close you are too.
I am sorry I am commenting so much, but omg I am so in love with your ideas and your van layout!!!!! I am so going to beg VANCITY VANLIFE to look at your channel to see your van, I just really want it shared to everyone how amazing it is.
Really excellent van design 👌🚐
All the pink is very endearing for two sisters 🌸
They even dress in pink!
This is the nicest van rebuild and for two people I have ever seen. Nicely done.
Hello
I have to say this van is so unique compaired to all other van builds ive ever seen. The corner couch is amazing, and beautiful! One of a kind for sure. The bunks in the back are perfect, the shower in the middle also grand.
I think my ultimate favorite part of your van is the couch first, then the bunks, but over all I could take the entire van and be very happy with not one complaint. Im saving your van tour video to go back on and to share with others. Its just so beautiful!!
Thank you sooooo much for sharing
Be safe, stay well and God bless
I absolutely adore this van build well done ladies and it is just my colours love it love it love it if I had somebody to travel with this is the build I would choose 💖💖💖💖
Dayum. Just when you think your ready and finalized your designs, another great video pops up.
😃👍
That outdoor seating is so cute and unexpected !! Really utilizes the space ! And to cook on it too while it’s nice out is even better.
Literally the BEST VAN BUILD I've ever seen!! Luv it soo much 💓💗💕💖💛
I have never seen a van like this- very lush! Awesome job
I love this van I even love the pink which I'm surprised I really love. I'm not a pink kind of girl. Just love all the little touches like the scalloped cushions on the dining seating. This van is just lovely well thought out down to the decor. This is my new Favorite Van....
Many happy adventures, make wonderful memories, and have a beautiful journey.
Best wishes to you both 🙂👍👍
This is the cutest van I've ever seen!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Your van is so adorable and so are the two of you. Love the rounded corners, living room, bunk beds and outdoor table. Great job, ladies and safe travels.
Really pretty, have they thought of like fold legs for the outside table, to provide more support. something that can fit or maybe extend itself to reach the ground. Beautiful build, love the pink tones.
Layouts amazing except for the access to the front. Safety should be a priority. Wishing these two lovely ladies good luck and stay safe during your journey.
I love the interior and decor and everything in it!! Super pretty layout!! ❤️😍
Love the lay out and the colors💕 however, I think the security issues are very important and I would find a way (hidden window ?) to be able to skip to the front when needed... Good job girls!!👍😍
Your layout is inspired and the implementation seems to be very high quality. Well done!
This design is the most efficient I’ve seen & I’ve been watching these videos for about 2 yrs. Great job, just goes to show we can accomplish whatever we put our minds to.
This is so cute! So many great ideas! Can’t wait to get my own van build eventually! 🌸
Beautiful job on your van build ladies, safe travels.
One of the best I've seen so far. But probably the most attractive. Beautiful young ladies in their beautiful van.
This is legiatemly the cutest and stylish van set up I've ever seen. It's such a mod posh space.
WOW!! I've seen a lot of Van builds. Yours is so beautiful I like how you made spaces for everything. The slide out picnic table awesome.
Be safe and God bless y'all!!
Hello 👋 Sandra, how are you doing?
I love all the touches you did to make your van a home! Well done! It's beautiful! ❤
Very inspiring! ❤️
