Yes!! THIS!! My heart raced as I watched this video. I've been saying I want to buy a mechanically sound short bus and put my furniture in it. Now I KNOW that's what I'm doing. The style in this bus is georgous. Thanks for sharing Sista. Oh, and love your toilet too. 😊
Been getting so overwhelmed looking at peoples 20k builds this is super simple but also super functional, thank you for sharing this gave me an inspiration boost (:
Yes!!! Came to say the same thing, I got so discouraged watching all the 20k and up builds that’s definitely out of my price range but this was a perfect reminder what can be done and done well 😊 👏🏽
Love that you used real furniture. That was what I'm planning to do. As an artist &travel with my emotional support dog, so I have to have garage space. I'm selling my RV because it is cookie cutter. I have a large folding fence for my fur baby, shade canopy, easel & lots of art supplies.
I love how homey your bus looks like. It's beautiful, comfortable and well conceived. The only thing I would add is a shower set up, which can be as simple as a hoolahoop and a shower curtain suspended by chain and magnets and a blow up kiddy pool. Just make sure you stop by a Lowes or home depot to get a pump sprayer, and voila, you have a shower. When not in use it can all slide under your bed.
Or take a bath from a wash pan using a wash cloth like we did when I was a child. Then there’s Planet Fitness. We use to wash our hair in the kitchen sink.
I don't live in my bus so some nice bath wipes and a towel would be all I need. I've had it for four years now and have yet needed a shower. Very happy with how it is right now. Has everything I need. Built it for my needs...so far it's delivered.
I’m 65, disabled, and living in a fifth wheel since my husband died. Been wanting to make it look homey and boho style. It’s my style and your bus is spot on with what I want my little RV home to look like. Thank you so very much for sharing it with us! It is AMAZING!❤TN Nana
I can't say enough . I love this bus. For real, I can't get this build outta my mind. I LOVE you creativity .Love how you used thrift furniture. What really blows my mind is that you decided what you want and found pieces that worked for that. It is of course too cute. I love it!! I keep watching it. The use of 'real furniture" . You go girl !
Absolutely love your layout..I love that you didn't cover up or build doors below your couch and bed..much more open looking I love it..looks much more roomy!!!..really love the chest you distressed that goes under your bed great job on the whole bus!!!❤
Lady, you are remarkable. I am pushing 77 and still would like c to do what you did and travel. Hope you're bus doesn't give you toomany mechanical problems. Be safe
Your "technical shortcomings" gained a follower. You've reignited my desire to pursue this dream for myself! I had all but given up thinking I'd never be able to afford it. But the simple chsrm of your approach is magnificent!
We have a habitat for humanity restore here and I’m planning on building mine completely from donated, cheap and free stuff. Lol repurposed and one man’s trash is another man’s treasure
This is my favourite bus conversion, and I've been looking at conversions for years! So many brilliant ideas and beautiful execution. Well done! I will likely borrow a lot of your ideas for my own build. Thanks for sharing.
What do you mean don't judge you? I wish they would try. People should be asking for your advice. That is an awesome build. Great job. I'm coming out soon, and I would love your input, advice, and expertise. ❤💯🙏👍👏.
Honey, this was amazing. My mom and sister were a lot like you. You're a true talent. You have the Soul of a Gypsy. The Heart of a Hippie and the Spirit of a Fairy. Loved that. Much love from SC. Rock on Angel!
@@Melissafrick2 Melissa, come visit Abbeville SC, and go to the short 105 Cherokee St, snd park in the back parking lot of the church to the east. And, come visit the red, white and blue house, across the street with the Trump sign on the porch rail. It's Jon Porters house. He's my landlord and friend, and a Capricorn who I'm hoping you can motivate to finish something for once and do it right. I'll have him make his Rice Pilaf for you with whatever meat or tofu you choose. He's good at that. He actually finishes that. I live here with 5 other people. Three girls and three guys. Please come visit soon on your travels. Much love and friendship from SC. Cheers girl!
Love this conversation . Definitely gave me so many ideas and took a lot of stress off trying to have it super built out like some of the other videos I’ve watched.
This is exactly what I have in mind for myself! All of the ideas and sizes of everything are spot on. I know I want a kitty potty toilet, two small sleeping areas and a creative kitchen. I also need an office because I want to create a mobile tutoring service. Thanks very much for sharing.
Absolutely love this no build bus build! i guess it is how it's called! This is an inspiration and helps me to keep motivated to do my dream bus conversion! Thank you!💝
I absolutely love all the open space in the center!! this makes my dream totally more doable. so hard to think out of the box for me when all the content is so much the same. thanks for posting your different build.
I love love love the fact that you created it by your own hands ... The personal touch made it more appealing to me & although you may not have broke the bank here. .. you sure made it look like you own a couple banks. . lol. I've seen tons of videos. Placing you up there w/ one of my faves. Yayaaa❤
Love this simple conversion. Just the way I would do it. Most are too much over-the-top for my tastes. Too 'trendy' for me. I'm a simple person with simple needs. Thanks. Love Love Love the toilet!
I love the toilet idea. Love your bus!! Been thinking about getting a camper van or bus. Whichever I decide I wanted it to be simple yet feel like home. Thank you for sharing
I really appreciate the minimal conversion! My family is thinking of converting a bus to use as a temporary home while we build our farm house, but most of the videos we’ve seen have involved fully gutting. So much character for very little “construction”! Will be stealing some of your ideas 😁
Melissa, you have a great build/design🚌that makes your peace☮of mind🧠splendor to enjoy. In the go'n into & cum'n out from🕯. What the journey in living is all about. always, Tommy🤠
Giving you your flowers cause this is amazing. I was feeling so deflated about doing a shuttle bus build and like everyone else said those other videos were so overwhelming and seemed so unattainable. Thank you Thank you for sharing that you built I love it.
I'm so happy it has inspired u and you see that anyone can do this with a little simple imagination!!!! I appreciate your kind words. And I wish you the best of luck
Omgggg thank you for this!! You are THE only video that has actual antique furniture in the layout. I searched and searched for HOURS! I plan on pulling several pieces from my house to use in our build. Thank you!! I can not wait to watch more videos to see how it all held up:)
I like a more minimalistic approach and you did a great job here. I plan on building out a startrans shuttle bus this year and you gave me ideas. Also,Ravens are my animal!!
Thank you for showing your beautiful home! I planned on doing something similar within the next year and I’ve been looking for bus tours that are still homie boho but on a budget without having to do to much to the bus itself! Beautiful home, safe travels!❤️
Thank you. I am doing the same bus as of today. Way too late to help but the rubber eraser attachment from any auto store stripped 15 year old stickers pretty fast and easy.
Great first video and I agree with another comment your funny lol your personality shines. I absolutely love your bus it's beautiful. I very recently lost my husband unexpectedly. We were planning on getting a motorhome or bus to travel. In fact we looked at a used motorhome the day he passed. Unfortunately our plans came to a end but I still plan on traveling. I will be taking my husband with me in my heart and memories. My husband wanted to get a motorhome with everything already done but I wanted a bus to build as we liked. So I'm looking at a 4 window bus a little smaller then yours. I don't need anything big and I don't want to do a big build out. Watching your video seeing what all you have done without a big build has given me so many wonderful ideas. The short bus I'm looking at comes with the seats removed and it's partly converted but not my style. It's kind of a throw together mix match of old not so nice stuff but it does have a small 3 burning stove and AC that I will keep and that about it. I can't wait to get the bus and start working on it. I think it will help to have something to do and keep my mind busy on something other then my grief. At least that's what I'm hoping for. My bus will be my therapy... Anyways I love your bus and you have an great eye for Interior decorating such a beautiful bus...
Awwwe...well ty !!! I m so very sorry to hear the loss if ur husband. Please feel free to reach out anytime...i wish u lived close !!!!!!!! 🧡🩷❤️ I would love to see ur conversion!!!
I love it I believe in simplicity . Too many people spend thousands of dollars on spending for wooden cabinets and custom-made stuff I am not into that I want to do it as quick as possible and as simple as possible
You did a great job! Your bus is definitely on my list of one of my favorites: mostly handmade/natural materials, under $10,000, and still kept the bus interior with home comfort. Thank you for your inspiring video.
Hi Melissa, I have to say thank you so much. Im about to find a way to buy a shuttle bus to transform in tiny home for me and my 2 kids to live in it as the rent increse of 46% is impossible to pay and all those videos of people doing it just discouraged me. They do massive build with thousand dollar tools I dont have along with the skills. You saved my day by showing me it doesnt need to all be rebuild to be nice. Thanks.
Ty sooo much! I'm so happy that my build shows people it can be done simply and beautifully without spending a ton of money that most of us don't have!!!!
I think your bus is delightful! Perhaps quixotic, but it strikes me as perfect! Highly imaginative and very bohemiam. It is a warm, comfortable space to kick off you shoes and curl up to read with a cup of coffee or glass of tea. I love your kitchen; for such fanciful space, it is quite efficient. I do have suggestions, like a Jackery power bank, just in case. My always suggestion is duct or gorilla tape, zip ties, rope, construction grade garbage bags, A shovel (are those people in the next camp bothering you?) 😄😂😄😂, scissors, sewing kit, and work gloves. You never know what emergency might crop up. For the bus itself, might I recommend window screens to keep the bugs out? Maybe a couple of USB fans for ventilation, and my favorite: A canopy for the side of the bus. I've seen some really nice ones. One of my artist friends who did art fairs took a regular canopy tent and made a ceiling and drapes to give her tent an exotic, unique look. It was lovely! Kind of looked like it was part of a Romany camp. I was wondering, how do you lock your bus? It is so beautiful, surely there are nefarious people looking to break in. I'd also want some kind of security system for it, as it is a work of art. I love the openness of your bus; the way you've furnished it like a living room. The toilet is pretty brilliant too. I've used an emergency toilet a number of times (5 gallon bucket, garbage bags, adult diaper inside) and have been grateful for it. When you gotta go, you gotta go! I would consider a folding screen to put up for privacy when in use. But that's me. Your bus is a beautiful, quirky creation and it delights me! Love the Avon lady bag...I have one just like it.
Wow Jane...ty for all the wonderful suggestions ...many of them r in the works. I work full time and also renovating my home... I so appreciate your sincere outlook and tips !!!!❤️🩷🧡
Me encantó. Una intención muy organizada, tranquila, simple, linda, minimalista... y la mujer está re buena, creo. Ñam. Ya casi no hay rubias naturales y todo eso. Benditas yankees. :')
Beautiful ❤❤❤. I would love to have one for beach trips and other small trips. I would love to have a space so I could travel with my 2 small dogs when I go visit my son in North Carolina.
You did an awesome job on the video, all the way down to the editing. Nice size for a slol woman. Your home looks beautiful.. can't wait to get me a skoolie
I cannot even begin to tell you how very much I enjoyed watching your video!!! Every thought & detail you incorporated was truly unique and beautiful also!!! This is the most inspiring one I have seen. Thank you so very much for sharing!!! ❤
Ty so much for ur kind words. I put my whole heart into my little bus and u made me feel soooo good with ur words !!! Ty for taking the time !!!🩷❤️🧡💜💙💙
THIS is inspiring! I get so weary and unmotivated by the "pro" builds. This is a bit more my style and a lot more my skill level! Very motivational. 💝
Ty !!! It was within my skill set !! Easy !!!
I agree! Especially with my budget! LOL
Yes! So I'm not alone. I am a single mother of two so definitely would add a bunk easily and Mount it as well. So inspiring.
Yes!! THIS!!
My heart raced as I watched this video. I've been saying I want to buy a mechanically sound short bus and put my furniture in it. Now I KNOW that's what I'm doing. The style in this bus is georgous.
Thanks for sharing Sista.
Oh, and love your toilet too. 😊
Been getting so overwhelmed looking at peoples 20k builds this is super simple but also super functional, thank you for sharing this gave me an inspiration boost (:
I'm sooo glad it did !!! It can be done on a small budget !!!! And thrift finds !!!! Ty sooo much !!!❤️🩷🧡
Yes!!! Came to say the same thing, I got so discouraged watching all the 20k and up builds that’s definitely out of my price range but this was a perfect reminder what can be done and done well 😊 👏🏽
Totally agree....most don't have that money....or skill
Same.
Agree. Glad I didn’t put too much money in mine because it goes through so much gas and it’s so big to drive. I discovered I haven’t used it much
I love this bus! So simple and to the point
Ty my friend!!!!
One of the coolest minimal builds I’ve ever seen!
Love that you used real furniture. That was what I'm planning to do. As an artist &travel with my emotional support dog, so I have to have garage space. I'm selling my RV because it is cookie cutter. I have a large folding fence for my fur baby, shade canopy, easel & lots of art supplies.
Ty sooo much!
I now use my boss to hold my 7-ft pieces of art. And set up my heart every Saturday morning here on the Eastern shore. It's been fun
@@Melissafrick2I've watched your videos several times. It's fabulous
@barblynch4065 ty soooo much !!!!
I love how homey your bus looks like. It's beautiful, comfortable and well conceived.

Ty !!!!!
Love your easy simple set up getting ready to start on my shuttle bus
I almost didn't 👍 this, but when I saw the commode I was impressed. An RV should have a bathroom whether scattered or in one place. Proud of ya!
Geeee...thx!

That's very nice also with you not having any experience.
Did you pull up the subfloor, ceiling and walls to remove old insulation and mold?
I think your bus is delightful! Perhaps quixotic, but it strikes me as perfect! Highly imaginative and very bohemiam. It is a warm, comfortable space to kick off you shoes and curl up to read with a cup of coffee or glass of tea. I love your kitchen; for such fanciful space, it is quite efficient.
