I agree with Ted on keeping it mostly empty on the counter tops. Maybe only have like the knife block to break it up and one other thing and that’s it.

Just got back from Kauai a few weeks ago! Luckily the island isn't as loaded with hotels and commercial development, so there are a lot of restaurants, shops, etc you can go to and support the native people who live there. It is so so so beautiful and you're going to have a great time :)

[@brothermontgomery]

oh and you must go to puka dogs at poipu beach - best hot dog of your life

[@sophieschmaltz4206]

ugh i rly adore the little cluttered glass ware dining room situation!!!! if it were me i would try to get that aesthetic to continue into the kitchen. like book shelves and plants and glass ware everywhere and then the counter tops empty so you can do culinary art

[@sh-fe2zn]

actually really needed a 30 minute video about gardening right now

[@loulouloup1773]

Re: tourism & colonialism- When we go to Cuba we make a point to spend time off resorts and spending money in local restaurants, etc and people DO appreciate the tourist money so long as you don't just stay in the corporate side of things. As for the water issue in Hawaii, I feel like that's harder to reconcile :(

I replaced paper towels with reusable Swedish dish cloths it's just as effective! highly recommend. I also changed the backsplash with a stick on one in my rental n that changed the look n I can peel it off when I move.

Your videos are so comfortinggggg

[@joannaspicer]

That makes me so happy

The peanuts are probably from birds or squirrels! Somebody probably puts out unsalted peanuts nearby and then the birds cached them for later in your yard 😊

You two are so funny! you moving around the dekor in the kitchen reminded me so much of my mom and i whenever we rearange our rooms together haha.

[@magicrobot5299]

I grew up in Hawaii! Kauai is not too bad and I think you have a good plan for your visit. If your looking for a time/money donation opportunity a local youth center or boys and girls club would be a nice gesture. Public Education is historically terrible in Hawaii so a little donation towards the local kids (keiki) would be plenty pono🤙

[@magicrobot5299]

Honolulu is the terrible one, its mostly owned by Japanese interests. the money goes overseas

[@joannaspicer]

Thanks so much for your recommendation! This is great info

[@lovegrandma]

Love Ted's nails

[@MyMomentswithMom]

So glad you realized it was gas! We thought maybe your next neighbor had a compost bin, as those can get stinky. We LOVE the glasses you put on the shelves in the kitchen........so cute!! By the way, we really like that cake stand. Can't wait to see your front garden as it grows. 😉

[@sophieschmaltz4206]

i vote put the paper towels in a cabinet hidden from view only needed in EXTREME circumstances

[@ninjaturtles12121]

I went on an island holiday a couple years before the pandemic (2017 I believe) and what we learned from the natives was that plastic n other non compostable waste pollution b/ of tourists was very damaging to them. transporting recycling to mainland is very expensive so corporations like resorts and hotels n restaurants would just dump them in the water which then contaminated their drinking water. we didn't know so after we were told we bought everything not in plastic packaging and whatever waste/plastic we had we washed it out n packed it in the suitcase and disposed/recycled it after getting home. so I would def recommend that. like food is compostable so that's no problem, but say a plastic to-go box for said food or plastic shampoo bottles in the hotel etc are all dumped in the water so we bought stuff like that back n then recycled. also be aware of hotels n resorts n other business doing "green washing". They'll say their bag is compostable or their to-go box is but really they are not n again they just dump it in the water so either avoid buying those or bring them back (rinsing them off works) n then recycling at home. I would recommend that if it's possible for you guys.

Joanna! I highly recommend the book "This is Paradise" by Kristiana Kahakauwila About the book from Penguin Random House Publishing - "Exploring the deep tensions between local and tourist, tradition and expectation, façade and authentic self, This Is Paradise provides an unforgettable portrait of life as it’s truly being lived on Maui, Oahu, Kaua'i and the Big Island."

[@joannaspicer]

Thanks for the rec this sounds great

[@sophieschmaltz4206]

obvi live blogging this vlog in the comments section lol im srry for my actions

[@jaelynpangman8154]

As someone who also cares very much about how kitchen counters look I think you need to have the books/pasta on either side of the subway tiles, and leave a little bit in the middle open and bare for your “workspace” area. Lol. Also I think the paper towels could def go on the other counter by the stove.

[@paulinabriggs7845]

My overinvested thoughts: I like all the electronics in the corner. Get a mountable under-cabinet paper towel holder. Mount a magnetic strip to hang your knives instead of a knife block. Put the pasta next to the stove.

[@paulinabriggs7845]

Get another little shelf for cookbooks. Nothing next to mixer for ease of use. Fruit bowl under window (but sunlight might make some fruit ripen faster/go bad faster). Cake stand in storage unless there is cake/pastries. Glass soap dispensers are pretentious (but I guess I like the refillability of it).

"so you agree" made me laugh out loud

more shelves is the answer def

[@sophieschmaltz4206]

every blanks wall in the kitchen needs to be covered with shelves (glass ware and boooks in the shelves) this will make it feel really clutchered and romantic and lived in rather than pinterest minimalist (hell on earth) extend that beautiful shelf basically
