    I love that there was so much to talk about within such a small space. When someone shows you their house, usually it's brief and bland, except for the big stuff like a pool or whatever, but here every detail was made with love or salvaged with an eye for detail and authenticity. It's a really beautiful home. I love the slab of tree trunk over the "copper" sink. So cute! :)

    Oh my god girl. Never mind being in debt and moving into a van, you have made a more beautiful space than allot of people's houses. What a truly wonderful area. I absolutely love it. It's the best van design I have seen. Soooo cosy.

      Hallo!
      So glad that you also watch such Vlogs, or whatever they're called☺
      They, and you, 'take me away' to the 'old times', many, many years ago, when I dreamt of 'living more freely'!
      Then went to Greece, (please remember, 38 years ago, to my 'dream island'!
      It didn't, unfortunately, work out, because then came an influx of tourists, looking for 'holiday romances', and all the Greek men, married or single, were 'on the hunt' for 'holiday romances😕
      I thought that I had found my 'paradise ', but the island of Zakynthos (Zante) is now renowned as a place to go for drunken Brits, etc😤
      I 'managed to escape ' with my sons (otherwise I would have had to give them up to the family, or accept the 'situation' with my husband😕😑😣)
      Coul write a book about the whole, unbelievable situation! 😑😕
      Sorry to 'open up' to you, but your videos (together with others) mean so much to me, and give me 'just a little insight' into an alternative world,that still exists😊
      Too late, and too little funds to 'take part', but, thanks so much for 'taking me away' into my once 'dream life', and showing the pros and cons 😀😊☺
      All love , and best wishes, Claire, Berlin, Germany 😊

I'm so pleased however that you find our vlogs such a release but it's never too late to fulfil your dreams. Sandy and I are both in our 50's and are only now living our dream. Enjoy the journey Claire it's great to have you aboard

      Sorry Love. It s not the USA. You have to have a permanent address when you are living in the UK. Somebody pays "your" council tax anyway. So when you decided to be a honest person tell us about all pros and cons. The best way to be debt free is have no debt at all. Godspeed.😊

I have to empty my own bins and I make my own power. Sadly you are trapped in the understanding I HAVE to live in a house when no one HAS to do anything. We always have choice. And my choice is not to line a landlords pocket with over inflated rent! 🙏🏼

      But i geass that the large amount of pallete wood (which has high density and thickness) adds a lot of unnecessary weight to the van, making it more top heavy and it will affect the gas mileage while not adding insulation.
      But it looks nice.

      @@pteppig it was so light before and it's only a front face of palette wood so it isn't as much wood as it looks

  • @aaronlewis848
    @aaronlewis848 5 лет назад +1

    this is awesome. I've seen countless different conversions some very high spec but this, this has a charm. Its not my style admittedly and there is a lot i would have differently, but what i've taken more than anything from this is that with the right motivation, and if you're prepared to do a little bit more work, once you've bought the van, you can convert it for virtually nothing when compared to a house using reclaimed salvage, and make it a ridiculously comfy looking home. If however you have the know how to take old wood, get the tools out and make it into something literally brand new (cupboards, kitchen worktops, bed...) then even using salvage you can create a high spec finish. I'm inspired, thanks :)

Instead, she found ways to incorporate her tastes into van life. It's so cool how she said that being on a tight budget helped her be more creative and take a different approach to how she decorated. The overall look and feel inside the van is absolutely fantastic. Not only does it look great but I love how she repurposed so many items. I'm in love with that ceiling. This is the first van interior I could totally see myself living in. Thanks for the inspiration! Great filming and editing too.

    omg, what you have done to this van is so beautful!!
    You have made it a lovely home with warmth and homelyness. The different surfaces, tones all make it wonderful. God it shows how sterile and bla normality is.
    Im sure youll love being in such a space and something you did youself, every surface has a story.
    How Could you ever leave!

    Thanks Sammi for such a great video and I hope that by now you have paid off your debts. I thought my wife and I had done well in boarding carpeting and fitting a bed into our old VWT5 to use of a weekend but that is nothing in comparison to yours. I really hope others that are in the same situation as you find this as it could be the answer as well.

    Nice conversion, i've yet to see one of these 'walk through' video's talk about where they're parking for free? Which the whole thing hinges on really. Travelling is expensive an being in the middle of nowhere has its challenges. But I admire her tenacity to have a go.

    • @No_bucking_idea

      3 years in now. It’s fairly easy once you meet other people. It’s not illegal to park on the side of a Road in the U.K.

    I've woken up this morning realising that I've been living in a construction site waiting for some sort of new age Prince Charming to come and rescue my home...this has inspired a great big kick up the arse!

    Been watching LOADS of these RUclips Project recently and THIS one really spun Me around.
    I'd become guilty of helping a good friend with so much technically sound but maybe sterile advice.
    Trying to get it all perfect in one bite.
    Don't.
    LIfe is a journey which is a series of sometimes connected, sometimes disconnected adventures.
    Try.
    Try and be not afraid for your effort to miss or fail.
    Try.
    You'll be better tomorrow if you just.
    Try.
    And.
    Try not to be too harsh upon yourself.
    You'll be better if you just.......
    Try.
    XxX

    Hi, have been studying this type of video for a while and really admire people like yourself for having the gumption to scale down and live small. How did you prioritise what you could do without/throw or give away. We moved to a bungalow a year ago and it has hardly any storage space. I am trying to scale down by throwing stuff out (only because it's quite old) - this is why I ask the question. I hope you continue to enjoy your new space and all the best, Jay

    • @No_bucking_idea

      If you don't use it or haven't touched it in 1 year throw it!!! With clothes the same applies .. we hoard when we neednt
