VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Nikki was on a road trip when she randomly saw a black skoolie for sale on the side of the rod. Although she didn't purchase that exact one, the seed was planted, and the new journey began! As an artist who desires to travel, she designed her tiny home on wheels so that her desk has plenty of room and the live edge kitchen countertop extends for space to create.
The most outstanding feature of her bus is the full-size stand-alone bathtub in her living room! It's made of light acrylic and glows from natural lighting. She has two hundred gallons of fresh water to support her tub and an instant water heater.
There's a full bathroom with an excellent barn door that, when closed, opens up a hidden bar and extra pantry space. Nikki also has a washer/dryer combo, a queen-sized bed, and a massive deck on the exterior backside!

Now this...this is home. Beautiful furniture, soak tub, fridge & freezer combo, cool curtains, so loving the copper used on shelves, huge pantry, washer & dryer on board,a comfy bed, & back deck. What's not to 💘? Safe travels
Agreed
I do so agree. What else could you want. Love the colors of India products. So bright and happy. The tub incredible. Enjoy that. Till your knees go like mine and getting out without help impossible like mine starting at 70, it will be divine. Then you can replace with your studio. Love your entire rig.
@@theresasutton6311 Another in full agreement.
It is so homely, and rich looking.
Just a delight, as is it's owner.
FINALLY. Someone with a real bathtub! I knew it could be done!
Hippie tech blended with hippie chic and common sense with resilience and curiosity and what dreams are made of have given us this wonderful and gifted woman. What an absolute joy. Thank you so much for sharing your skoolie with us. Tub just took my breath away. ❤️
This is the best description I've heard of me and my bus! Thank you Shirley :)
Love this bus build. Gotta love her bathtub. I hope she enjoys her adventures and meets wonderful new ppl whilst out there doing her thing. Thanks for sharing your beautiful bus with us Nikki. 🙏🏽😊
Thank you!! :)
Hello Irene how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
I agree, a tub is a must for me for sure!
Your bus is one of the most comfortable and homey setup I’ve seen and you’re right about the bathtub. I have not seen one that size and beauty yet. I love it. Your personality is evident.
Hello Maxine how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
Thanks Maxine! 🥰
Lovely, organized, and colorful! She knew what she wanted and went after it, which is quite admirable & adventurous. A woman who builds her dwelling around a gorgeous soaking tub has her priorities in the right place.
Love this build. What a beautiful expression of her. Those curtains, counter, and tub, wow! So many things I like. She was smart in staying in a schoolie to get a good idea of want she liked and didn't like, then buildt her bus to her needs to make it her home. May it give her many years of discovery and happiness! Thanks for the tour!
First person I've seen saying that they use an air fryer!!! finally! that's what I want to do in my build
That's what we plan on using too.
Beautiful that’s all I can say, enjoy life, laugh a lot and dream big and stay safe. Butterflies represent peacefulness. Thanks for sharing your life with us , really enjoyed 😊❤
Really smart of her to try out living like that in an Airbnb first to see if you will like it. 6:45
We agree! It's such a great idea.
Finally a home with a bathtub! This is definitely somewhere I could live because I love a good bath and then being able to take the bath to a beautiful setting, pure bliss! 😌 💕
All that texture and color make for such a homey space, and I absolutely love that bathtub. My chronic pain and I cannot imagine trying to live with cramped, awkward showers forever, so the thought of still having that tub on the road is amazing, and makes the idea of a bus seem so much more feasible. This is a phenomenal build, and genuinely feels like a home on wheels.
This is so nicely done and organized! The tub is ❤………One of the best builds I’ve seen … Have fun and be safe!
The Kantha blankets/curtains is an idea I've had, also, when/if I ever get a home on wheels. I have many of them and they are so beautiful.
Absolutely LOVE all the colors and textures in her bus!! Her design is fabulous and awe-inspiring!! 💜
Nice build. I would have your guys manufacture a counter top that would snuggly sit over the top of the tub so you can use that for artistry too.
Great idea!
Love the name DoodleBus! It's perfect!! Wishing you safe and happy travels 💕
I love love your home so beautifully decorated, the tub is so awesome. Safe travels🚐💙
Just wow! Stunningly beautiful build. The use of colour is so gorgeous and enhances the feeling of spaciousness. There is absolutely nothing lacking in this glorious bus. Even a deck! Congratulations on a stellar build.
Hello Barb how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
Wow!COLORS ARE JUST EYE POPPINGLY BEAUTIFUL. Thank God ,not another bus with gray or puck green everywhere .
Hello Linda how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
Nikki is delightful, love the bus.
Aww, thank you!
Wow. Wow. Wow. This is the most beautiful home on wheels I’ve ever seen. It’s easy to see the soul of the artist here. Yay, Nikki May! ❤❤❤
She has such a nice vibe!! I also like the idea of slow travel to soak up the space. (Also cheaper)
And this is definitely one of the best builds I've seen. Very well thought out.
Well said and I totally agree. Though I’ve never been able to afford to stay in one place for months while travelling, I’ve always aimed for quality over quantity. I’d rather visit one or two sights/sites for as long as possible, than madly dash from one to the next, in an effort to cram as many in as I can. Means I can both enjoy myself at the time AND create longer lasting memories.
Thank you 🥰
Beautiful WOW!
This has been the only thing that has been missing from most tiny homes and as a disabled woman who has to endure chronic pain, a bathtub in my must have. This incredible woman has done it!
This is the coolest bus I've seen. I love all the artistic details plus it's so functional for your lifestyle. I hope you enjoy your travels and make some really good memories.
Hello Kim how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
I love this beautiful build! Thanks for showing us that you don't have to give up the things that are personally most important,
Oh WOW I adore your Doodle Bus. That tub is to die for. But to me, what's even better than that is your color scheme and delightful curtains. First, the color scheme is my fav colors, teal,apple green and mink brown which you have a bit lighter in the woods you used. Second, those curtains give your bus a gypsy/nomadic vibe even though done with Asian textiles. I also adore farmhouse sinks and the copper pipes. If it were mine the farmhouse sink would be copper or even better beaten copper. I am also an artist and maker of too many things to mention, but it feels like it could easily be my bus. I def would feel right at home in that home-on-wheels you've created. Happy travels & creating! Namaste.
Thanks for the kind words!! I looked at copper sinks and tubs, but they were soooo expensive!
I love your boss and especially the curtains. Just so you know, watching this on RUclips I didn't hear any outside noises. I think you can do your podcast just fine.
I laughed a few times. Only because, I never thought I’d find someone who loves a bath 🛁 more than me!! This is probably the perfect layout for myself!! Priorities, bath, bed, art, in that order!! Lol… I hope she’s living her best live on the road!! 🤩🥰🤩
This bus is one of my few favorites out of dozens of conversions I've watched as I'm building out my own shuttle bus. Love all the colors!
Such a nice cozy and personal space. Love all the colors and textures. Enjoy all your adventures!
Hello Jane how are you doing hopefully you are doing??
This is absolutely gorgeous! Totally unique, not the same old design that everyone else is doing. I love your sense of style. Who wouldn't want a soaking tub! I love everything about build!😀 This is you home, so you should have it set up the way you want, not just copy someone else's. Great job!👍🏽
Hello Laurie how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
I love to see a home with color & character and your is absolutely beautiful ~🥰🥰🥰
Lovely 😍 👌 👍 🥰
Just wonderful. I think I could travel and keep my chickens with a build like that.
Hello Carol how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
This is a DREAM ❤❤❤❤ This woman is an inspiration and omg from KY!! Maybe I’ll meet her one day!
I live this bus decore. Especially the tub in the kitchen. So AWESOME.
As a person who only takes baths, this is my dream.
Beautiful bus!
Your doodle bus is amazing!!
This is very cool. It’s perfectly fine to have your beautiful tub right out there. A good way to pamper yourself which you wouldn’t think would be possible in a converted bus. Thanks for sharing 😊
It sure is! :)
I think you should add schoolie designer to you portfolio. I have seen a lot of beautiful builds but this is one I could live in. Helping people actualize their personal vision through design is a gift and you definitely have it.
Thanks Kelley! I've actually thought about offering those services! It was su much fun to design!
Beautiful Bus 😁❤
I’m absolutely impressed by that beautiful deep bathtub 🥰 17:52 I love the art on the bus 😊
That's one thing I want is my tub. Thank you for sharing!❤️ It.b
I love it
I love your space! It is so cozy and the tub is wonderful!❤
Hello Tina how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??

Hello Stephanie how are you doing doing hopefully you are doing good??

Hello Shirley how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
Gorgeous build!
What a terrific home! I love what you’ve done; you’ve thought of everything. I’m sure you’re going to have wonderful adventures in your new home!
Thanks Merideth!
That is the thing that absolutely sells me, that tub. I'm not a shower person, and in all tiny homes I see, this is what I've been looking for. Bless you. 🌹
Really nice
Wow amazing, what a talented artist ❤
I LOVE THAT TUB
Beautiful, I absolutely love the bathtub!
So cool. About 25 years ago I was 14 and my two best friends (a brother and sister) got a new stepdad. Their mom married the dad of 3 other siblings we were friends with. One day he surprised us and picked all us kids up from school in an old white school bus he purchased on a whim. He decided to make it into an RV for their newly blended family since they loved camping but could not afford an RV to fit all of them. This was before the days of converted RVs and viral van life. It was even before the days of smart phones and reliable home internet in our smaller beach town. He did it all himself with his own imagination and skills. It was not nearly this pretty or functional but had the same cool funky vibe with handmade curtains and loving touches. They used it for a year or two and then were able to afford a more functional RV. They then parked it in the back yard and for a long time it became our teen hang out spot. After school we could go have snacks or chill out in it, play games or have sleep overs. With their 5 kids getting older and one by one turning 18 it eventually became a sort of “apartment”. A few of them who couldn’t afford their own places but wanted privacy as adults used it as a crash pad until they saved enough money to move out and pay rent. Over the years our friend group always knew we could stay there if we needed a place for a few nights. Eventually it started to deteriorate and they had to sell it off. Its been gone for years and years now and my friends dad has since died from a failed heart transplant he waited a long time for. Every time a see these “skoolies” I think of him, his vision for the bus and all the memories it provided me. Its so cool to see one looking like a real home. Bravo on making this your own. What a fun watch!
Love your heart and home 🦋🦋🦋
Lovely home. Everything you could want and more.
Wow!! Nikki is very creative! Her skoolie is so colorful, fun, organized and so liveable! I love her tub💕. And with wool insulation--that is so cool! I could really enjoy traveling in her skoolie! Best with everything, Nikki!👍✨️🌸😊
Love love love this bus home !!! So cozy and colorful !!! She did an amazing job.
Your home is a rainbow of colour and oozes character, love & happiness. Enjoy your travels. 😊
I dont have a cool mobile van, but I bought an ottoman that I use as a desk chair too.
BEST use of space and color! LOVE this!!!!
Your bus is perfect! My husband and I bought a bus a couple of years ago with the intention of building it into a schoolie. We had so much fun gutting it and drawing out the floor plan but his job just would not allow him the time he needed to work on it. So we sadly sold her and bought a used Class A RV and he has remodeled everything from the upholstery to the counters, shower and made a beautiful counter and dinning table with butcher block. She will be done by summer and we plan on having a wonderful time traveling. When I saw your tub I chuckled because my husband was going to put one in our bus for me! Have a wonderful time traveling and you and your bus are just lovely.
Thanks so much, Bonnie!
This is by far the Best home on wheels I’ve seen so cozy, homey, sophisticated & unique! ❤️😍😍
So well done, just wonderful.
Love the full size soaking tub.
So far the most warming and comfy built I've seen. I love her style 👍

Love this design! It's the only time I've seen a tub in a school bus conversion done well! Beautiful!
Didn't know if you noticed but your phone number is visible on Rocket's harness. The bus license plate number is also visible. Beautiful home. Be safe.
I know, I just noticed that. 🤷🏻♀️
@@NikkiMay I think this channel can edit it🤔.... May be a good idea to let them know
