    Hey Jay here’s a thought… recover the pc of foam from the mattress and use it against your back doors to lean against as if couch 🛋️ it would also serve as a bumper for Ember against the doors ❤

    I love the way you found a simple bed build for your van. The van is coming together rather quickly. I am so happy for you. I also enjoyed watching Ember playing in the grass with the pretty flowers. She is so precious. I love your channel.

    You should make a bumper pillow from the piece of mattress you removed.

    Wow, a little spray paint does wonders. Thanks for sharing a minute of Ember time with us. She's such a cutie.

    1 suggestion, have some sort of light for under your bed when getting into storage stored under there or messing with your electric.

    You know that I have been watching you for years. Back when you were building on the farm. But now I can't imagine seeing your videos without the beautiful Princess Ember. She always brings a smile to my face. I am so happy for you.

    I love those bed rails and slats....so cool. The van takes on a newer look with the hubs painted...I'd put tire shine on the tires until their replaced to make it look totally new! Would you consider buying and rebuilding vans in the near future? Ember is her own curious little person making her discoveries....so cute! It will be fun to see her interact with her cousins this year....hope you can share them with us!

    I'm really glad you have the picture up that you have at the start of your videos; it makes the perfect "before" for all your "afters." I really felt it when you were so happy having the bed in there. You've wanted to do things your way for years and now you have all the skills needed to do exactly that. So happy for you.

You'd never know! Once again, you did a great job! Can't wait to see the cabinets! How exciting! Miss Ember is really talking well! She's growing up so fast! Always adorable! Take care!

    Good afternoon Jaylena, i always enjoy watching your video contents and your sharing your journey too. The bed looks great, hopes you saved the cut off peice and sew material around it, it can be used like a pillow or pillow like bumper guard idea (liken to what they use in baby cribs) by the back doors for you and Ember, just a few ideas. Anyway, sending lots and lots of love hugs and prayers daily to yall daily 🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗🙏...Emder so adorable sitting in the grass by the flowers ❤

    I have to wash my van in isolated carparks wherever I happen to be. No hose, just small amount of Mothers car wash in bucket of water, towel dry and always when rain is due, so that it gets a good rinse.

  • @carriehess-cbhaffiliate4426
    @carriehess-cbhaffiliate4426 6 месяцев назад

    Jaylena, just had an idea, how you could build a small shelf next to your bed that would serve as a little night stand or work station, for a laptop and could be removable. Take one of the bedrail (brackets) and screw it on the wall, on either side, like just behind the seats, and find a nice perfect size board, that you could sand and stain, and put a bracket on the backside of the board to hook onto that bedrail bracket. Or fix it so you could just flap it down when not in use.

    • @carriehess-cbhaffiliate4426
      @carriehess-cbhaffiliate4426 6 месяцев назад

      You could use it for your laptop, for when Ember wants to watch a movie or TV show. Great idea!! Even to set a small power station on for charging things. Many uses!!

    Save that extra mattress piece. Make a bumper for against the door for ember. Use velcro to keep in place. Can also double as a cushion to lean against in bed. Utilize as much to make the van comfy.
