- We bought an old school bus and renovated it into the tiny home of our dreams. This is a complete tour of the bus. We are currently traveling the United States, with goals to travel to all 48 contiguous states, and find the town that calls us home. Please let us know what your questions are or what you would want to see from us in the future. Lastly, we hope that you enjoy our home.

My first impression was..... finally, a real sofa! When I see the straight bench seating, I can never imagine it comfy for a movie, reading or my crochet. The wainscoting and wood ceiling are beautiful touches.
city girl thank you, we do really like the couch, it’s super comfortable
I love your buss your wife is cute a real keeper.She reminds of my late wife we had 52 wounderful years together before she passed.
Merrold Sams thank you so much. We’re learning to cherish every day we have together
This is the best shower & toilet bathroom option I have seen so far. Very nice!
L Bee thank you!
Who thumbs down this? Really? Makes me sad that there are people who can find something negative about something so beautiful.
I really liked how you used IKEA and custom work to achieve your design goals. I love the layout and the attention to detail. Possibly my favorite.
This has got to be the BEST $30K EVER SPENT!!! I'm in love with this conversation!! CONGRATS!! 💜💛💚💙💗❤
The Sewing Bratt thank you very much
Y'all must be newlyweds. Could play a drinking game w how many times u said "my husband". It's adorable. I was the same way. Congratulations on ur marriage and new home. Beautiful conversion
EBeth226 haha this really made me laugh! We sure do love to say that. We’ve actually almost been married for almost 3 years, but he’s my best friend for sure! Thank you SO much! 😃
@Patriot Jefferson who stuck a stick up ur butt? Nobody said only newlyweds speak this way.
Great build! This is why I wouldn’t buy an rv. I’d much rather do a build. Enjoy and safe travels guys!
Real talk 13 exactly! You can make it just how you want, and with quality products!
Real talk 13 check out insurability and return on investment of $30,000
I found myself with this huge smile on my face watching her and his voice is so supportive and encouraging. Love what you did with your build. Both contributed you can tell.
Thank you so much. That means a lot.
I love How She Says My Husband, She Is Soo Cute And Adorable, You Make Marriage So Beautiful. Your Home Is So Warm And Stunning.❤❤❤
Yeah she is super adorable! She says the bus is a "Frightliner"... bless her!
I watch a lot of these videos... I call it “research.” Beautiful job with this project.
Tracey Folds thank you and thanks for watching
What a FANTASTIC BUILD . Great job ..well thought out 👍👍👍😁
This is the best children sleeping arrangements I've seen in a bus so far. It's very open. Not too claustrophobic. Good job. Very nice bus too
I don't know if anyone else said it, but I would suggest adding a privacy curtain for the upper bunk too. This allows the guest to feel like they have privacy
LadyLawJHF yes we eventually plan to do this! Thanks for the recommendation!
I'm chuckling over all the online shopping mentioned ... some people do cute interiors from scratch on the cheap or from a trash pile. This is just as valid a way to express one's self, one's style, and who doesn't love shopping in their pajamas?
Love that u have a couch and the chair near the driver seat so u can keep each other company on trips
Barbi Button that is exactly what we wanted. Glad you can appreciate it.
amazing job! top notch products and workmanship, well done!
Living with Grace thanks so much.
I watch a lot of these conversions ( waiting for the day ... ) and yours is a lovely, well thought out design. An intelligent and resolved combination of form v. function. Ideas such as separating the wet bath and toilet which allows a small vanity will add living space you will much appreciate travelling in close proximity to each other. Using a chest fridge indicates you have really researched your options as everyone knows they are so much more efficient than the archaic side opening fridges that spill out cold air in cascades each time they are opened.
Your choice of colours and finishes are beautiful. The distressed wash on the ceiling and the white wainscoting topped with the warm stained pine work beautifully. The decision to use wood has really enriched the aesthetic of your interior and is definitely worth all the extra hard work I am sure it entailed. The details you must have sweated over (the ceiling for example) are so worth it for the fabulous end result. A lot of tongue and groove ceilings on bus conversions use pine that is quite wide. I noticed yours was much narrower and it looked so much better for it. More work no doubt but a really good design choice. Other excellent decisions were your fabrics, the non-built in comfy couch and the restrained and tasteful colour palette which combined to achieve a lovely conversion. The layout is functional and maximises liveable space. The wood stove is the cherry on top. Well done. I would love to see more of your bus as you live in it and experience the joys of all your hard work. Thank you.
Liz Steeds WOW! What an astounding comment! Thank you SO much for your kind words. We truly appreciate how you admire all the small details of our bus. Most people can’t fathom the amount of work, and thought, that goes into a project like this, but you did an amazing job at explaining our work. Thank you!!
@@TheRoamingLions Well I was going to leave my own nice comment but I can't really beat the things said here. So I'll just say Ditto! Haha! I will add I think putting in the bunks for future renting use is such a excellent well thought out idea! Wtg! I do have a question. How long is your bus? Thanks!
Liz Steeds you are such a sweet young couple .i love all of the hard work you put into your plans ,you thought of everything needed to travel.I wish you safe and fun in your travels"
I must agree with all the nice things that you have said, you hit the nail on the head with the words you wrote to explain how nicely and how much hard work was put into their home!! 😀
Cysts infections
This is by far my favorite conversion
Too many things I love about your build to mention them all, but the pantry is excellent, and I appreciate separating the bathing area from the toilet area. You seem to have some extra room here and there, which is nice. It looks to me that you may have room in your utility closet or under one of your beds to add solar later. Great tour and wonderful build!
Catherine Moore thanks so much for your sweet comments! I’m glad you loved our bus. Yes, we would love to add solar in the future, so I think you are totally right, either spaces could be great for that!
Great
Mervyn Drage nycvgg o gfbmyvggogoyo
Cute! Not just your Bus. I love your upbeat attitude and smile. Great job on your new home on wheels. I pray you stay happy, healthy and have safe travels. May Father God bless you both. Sending you hugs and love, Linda
Linda Clark thank you SO much! We truly appreciate you and your well wishes.
this is a very well thought out floor plan, with a plan for the future. Win - win.
karen knapp thanks so much!!! Glad you enjoyed!
My favourite Skoolie so far!
Very nice thanks so much for sharing your home on wheels
It’s an Awesome layout, beautiful job & very detail oriented! It’s over a year later, are U still on the road??
@@TheRoamingLions stimulus check update for 6:28 20/20 stimulus check update for 6 28th 2020
I really like the lay out of the bus, i hope you really enjoy it i would live in it full time to save money etc, there is so many positives in this build and not a cluttered build.
The best build I've seen so far!
If I had a better memory, I would not comment several times, but (sorry) your thermal/reflectix window coverings will be useful with extreme temperatures - cold AND hot. They will also give you shade and help keep the bus cooler when it is really hot out. Just FYI.
Rebecca Adams haha thats OKAY to comment multiple times! I think I sound silly and awkward on camera, and forget to say things that I mean to say. Yes, we know this and love them for those reasons!! Thank you again!!
This is well thought out. I like your décor and the build is fantastic! Kudos on all your handiwork young Lady!
Seastorm 1978 thanks very much! My husband is the handy man!
Very creative I’m amazed! And desire to live on the road for years. One day I will happen! Thank you both for sharing
Phillis Carpenter thanks for watching
Gorgeous home!
Rebecca Treeseed thanks!
Fantastic! Seriously though. I’ve looked at tons of bus tours and honestly yours is probably the best I’ve seen. Neat, tidy, efficient and a lot of style. Great job!
Wow! Thanks for such a nice comment! We are so glad you love our bus. Thanks for watching!
Your design choices are beautiful, especially how beautiful the ceiling turned out and how well it companioned with the flooring! Great job!
Tanya S. Thank you so much. That’s exactly what we were shooting for.
I Love How inmaculated Clean and Well Organize you have your "Home".
This is the best skoolie I have seen. Bathrooms and showers are a must and love the 2 rooms. Beautifully done
Don't worry about the knives. If anything bad enough happens for them to come loose and cause trouble, the knives will be the least of your problems. :) Great build. Looking forward to following you.
djpWilson haha we agree, we will have far worse problems if the knives start flying! Thank you!
Highly recommend solar, even if it's just a stand-alone unit you can setup whenever you're parked.
Love the use of a commercial couch and the space for your fridge could easily fit an apartment standard fridge/freezer if you ever wanted to upgrade/change. Looks really cozy, hope you have fun on your trip!
robbywings thanks for the recommendations and thanks for watching
@@TheRoamingLions who are what is roaming lions
Delroy Litchmore our last name is Lion. So we used that name while we were traveling.
Love the pellet stove and pantry, really nice build out guys.
Thanks for sharing I been telling my better half now that we are hitting retirement I want to get rid of everything narrow it done to a couple tees & Jean's one pair of boots and sneaks and travel state to state live traveling! We been together 37 yrs. We did the entire adulting it's time for us again our boat , skie jets and roll .

You both did an amazing job! I know you’re proud! I’m so happy for you! Keep us posted on your travels!!!
PJ JP well that comment made our day. Thank you very much we definitely will.
This is one of the best schoolie layouts I’ve seen
twirlchic wow! Thanks for such a nice compliment!
Oooo...this is the nicest conversion i have seen. Really tastefully done xx
One of the nicest conversions of a school bus I have seen.. nice job!!
When I grow up I want to live like this
I got so many ideas :)
XxellexX_ Hai definitely send us pictures of your build when you do it. We’d love to see it. Thanks for watching
Very nice conversation! Beautiful 🌻🇺🇸
BeachBalance glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
love the layout and the finishing touches - especially the wainscoting throughout.
Love the captain's chair with the cup holder. Love the stove and the bathroom vanity.The pantry storage is da bomb!
Helena Wright thank you very much, we appreciate it
Great Job guys!👏 So Inspiring❤
Big fan of the separate shower & toilet "rooms", and love the air BnB idea!💰👍
Good luck, have fun, & thanks for sharing with us!🤙
Best check your mattress after winter to see if mildew grew under it. Do this periodically to be safe.
aides2hear great tip! We haven’t had any issue with moisture due to our pellet stove throwing off a dry heat, but I will still check!!!
@@TheRoamingLions which pellet stove do you all have
www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/castle-pellet-stoves-serenity-freestanding-1500-sq-ft-pellet-stove-1172309?cm_mmc=feed-_-GoogleShopping-_-Product-_-1172309&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImJ6Up8vS5gIVTNbACh1b5wVrEAUYAiABEgIEaPD_BwE
yes, aides is right! we used to spray lysol weekly and still got mildew :( might be better off to roll up those unused mattresses and only set them up when needed?
@@TheRoamingLions that is an awesome stove. summer humidity tho...
I like the separate shower/ toilet. BRILIANT!! Very useful!
Sheri desmarais thanks. We wanted to be able to use the bathroom if someone wanted to shower at the same time.
So well done. Enjoy your year!
Claire Bearoness thank you so much!
I absolutely love your bus. The bunk beds are in a great spot, and I think that was a great idea. You have a lot of room and storage space. A lot of great ideas. Thanks for showing us.
Bonnie j Hinton thank you for watching we really appreciate the comment.
This looks like it was made professionally it is very well built and for the knife problem if you are afraid abt them flying off get another magnet and stick it against the knives
Jaddin Da fat shep Wow! Thank you! My husband and his father did most of the work! We did our very best. And the knives haven’t been an issue at all, but many people have recommended that, so thank you!
@@TheRoamingLions I think the knife issue is more of in an accident the bus may stop suddenly and the knife could come off the magnet but for normal driving even rough driving it may not. Do you have any idea of seats for other than the 2? Seat belts for kids if a family went with. Beautiful job nice presentation. The stoves also have a little plate you can attach to the side that leaves an air gap between the stove and the plate then many have a zero clearance to the added plate.
Love that the bathroom wasn't treated as an afterthought!
Sr Ho thank you we put a lot of thought into it. We knew we definitely wanted a sink and toilet in the same room and the shower separate. We are very happy with it. Thanks for watching
AWESOME job! Easily the most functional AND frugal conversion I've seen of these buses. The planning and layout makes splendid common sense and your workmanship is great. Congratulations.
It's beautiful, Happy travels
Terry Williams thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed!
Wow, this is the best bus conversion I've seen, congratulations. 😉💕
Nice very tastefully decorated. Like having a sofs.

Love the layout and how everything seem spacious enough that you don’t feel claustrophobic.
Beautiful bus. We'll put together. Hope you guys enjoy your adventure. Peace.

Beautiful you did an incredible job! It looks stylish classy well put together and I like it that you got a real fireplace that pellet burners nice size! it's not like the tiny little thing you always see people putting in those tiny wood burners too small.... your bathroom is pretty !your shower too! everything well-designed.
🇬🇧 One of the best Skoolie's I've seen.
Sara Pulford thank you very much.
You should very proud of this wonderful bus! Your exciting adventure awaits! Thanks for keeping it real and just keep being you! Have fun! Come up to Carrabassett Valley, ME in the summer.
Timothy Gerencer thank you very much. Always makes our day when we read a nice comment like this.
Love it great job 👍 the only change I would make is the shower room is nice size you should have made the whole thing a shower instead of that small round pan you could have tiled the whole thing
MJK98 this is the biggest regret we have. If we had a do over we would do exactly what you said. Thanks for watching
It’s a beautiful Buss my favorite part is the ceiling as well good job
Susan Boudreau thank you that’s my favorite part as well

I absolutely love your school bus conversion. You guys thought of everything! It’s so warm and inviting; very cozy! You guys did a great job! LOVE it! Adorable fur-baby too! Safe travels! 🚞
I really enjoyed this conversation. I'm a single mother with two children and I've been considering alternative sheltering options like a tiny house. Within my thought process buses, RVs and campers have come to mind. I live in Ohio so weather factors into my options, and I just loved seeing all the various ways you two incorporated essential living spaces into this bus. Thanks, it is beautiful and inspirational in many ways.
I have a bed like that, twin size to sofa. One of my favorite buys, a comfortable piece and a two in one for my tiny space. I bought mine at the Salvation Army, then reupholstered it in denim... dislike the brown color even though it was in good condition.
Rebecca Treeseed sounds like you found a great piece!! Thank you!
Rebecca Treeseed Has day was
Great job 👍 I really like your conversion, Perfect style 😊It‘s definitively an advantage to have toilet and shower separated. That‘s how we‘re coverting our Skoolie as well
Best wishes from Germany
Wolfgang
Wolfgang Wilbois thank you! Yes, we are already enjoying the benefits of this layout!
This bus converter is the most amazing one that I have seen, so congratulations on your imagination for planning your comfort living, and my you both have continued success.
I love this one so much. I am currently working on my skoolie but it's nice to see people who built theirs. I am so going to use some of your designs. Love love love this video
