I don’t believe that I have ever seen so much character and charm in a van build ever. The thought and consideration to detail is so exact, one has to love and respect all of the thought that went into this “ home 🏠 on wheels “.
This is a beautiful build! There are so many wonderful details. You’ll have no trouble finding a buyer for this one. May I ask what you painted the pvc trim with to make it look like metal? Using that combination so that you didn’t have to bend metal is an ingenious idea!
Gosh ….I bet I’ve watched hundreds of van builds, but THIS is BY FAR my favorite! I’m from Germany living in Texas and this made my heart soar with nostalgia for a simpler time. Well done Anthony! I love the rivets and and sink in particular but could list a bunch more. 👏👏👏👏
I love this build. It has tons of character and attention to detail. It is apparent that Anthony poured his heart and soul into this project. He has created a space that is aesthetically pleasing and unique without compromising functionality.
This is beautiful ... a lot of detailed work .. the only observation I have is I think it would have been great to have the opening big enough for you and the cat to go through ... However overall I love it .. Thank you both and safe travels 💕💕🙏🏾
@@clarkclarke After building 5 vans and living in them for 7 years, I found going from the front to the back is much less a big deal than I thought. In the future if I do it again, I am going to have a pocket door or a flip up counter situation. I feel where you're coming from though.
@@opiavisuals LOL!!! No worries I am not a builder .. I just think of bad weather ..easy escape kind if thing ... but is just MY thinking ....LOL!! continued success and safe travels 💕🙏🏾
I got a little emotional watching the interior tour. It kind of surprised me when he closed the door and it had that wonderful foliage display and the windows in the bedroom. The interior is amazing and is indeed like a real home. The decor is terrific, " Thanks Mom!" It's the most special story and build I've ever seen. 💗
This is the most beautiful van! It is obvious to see your passion for detail and forward thinking of how the materials will hold up over time. It’s definitely a work of art ❤
The only thing missing is a vinyl record player. I love how you really made this your own and if one did not know any better it is really a cottage on wheels. Love it!
WOW! I usually prefer modern, sleek van builds. But...this van build tour immediately gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Actually, I think it lowered my blood pressure. I'm not really a fan of the old world look but it definitely was soothing to my soul. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! A work of art and labor of love.
OMG, I don't even know what to say. Amazing, this does not look like a van build, but, a tiny house. Wow, this is now my favorite build. Loved his reasoning for why he did what he did. I'm speechless
Yes! I'm a huge fan of Quirky Campers from the UK and love the charming aesthetics seen in many European campervans. This is by far the best version I've seen here in the US. I love the quirkiness and attention to detail but still maintaining practicality and efficiency. Brilliant job!
I love this van! The cottage theme is my favorite. I love the sink and the entire sink area. I love how extended the kitchen work area is with the fold down wood at the door. I like that it is rounded and curved not straight. All the details are great.
This is such a neat build! It reminds me of a cottage that you’d find tucked away on a country lane. I appreciate Anthony’s attention to detail as well as his creativeness.
This van build is transformative. It's like opening an old book and being instantly transported to another time, another place, where you become part of the story, and then you create new chapters. The history in all the details is fascinating! Every design choice is meaningful, and each piece fits together to create a mosaic of comfort and charm. Fantastic job, Anthony! And thank you for featuring this build, NJO. Love it!
One of the reasons I watch van builds is to see the creativity people put into their vans and the space they create to make their own. This van is definitely a unique creation. It feels like him.
OH WOW! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I am a very creative person too and to me this is the WINNER! We can ALL tell how much love, care, and passion you have put into this van build. I have NEVER seen anything like it. You can definitely be proud, you did an AMAZING job! Heck I wish I knew you and you were my friend, I would love to hang out with you and create vans for people. So much fun!❤
Wow so Incredible, what a job. A lot of heart went into it.❤😊 You even put a shower in it, though you did not need one yourself. It is very smart, it could make or break a sale.🎉 Bravo! Very beautifully done and well crafted. IMPRESSIVE!!! 🎼💙☺
@@opiavisuals Trust me, Anthony. Your nervousness didn’t show for even a second. I totally understand the feeling though, which is why I’ll very likely never have a YT channel but give views, likes, comments, & shares to my faves like Patrick’s.😊🌀🌟
Such a creative mind! What a good energy he has and what a good eye. I love the range of sources he used to find just the right piece. And all the different materials he used: the faux brick, the glassed in flowers/fauna! and more …good grief…I can’t say enough good things about this build. He is impressive! A real gem of a van! If I were in the market for one…..
Details and craftmanship are EVERYTHING. This build is full of thoughtful design, and the result is delightfully marvelous. The wood-framed window sills complete with curtains and potted plants; the flowers in the door was the BEST surprise; the European sink with the wallpaper and slatted wood walls and ceiling; the wood shelves, the colors themselves, and the ART. WOW. All the bedroom details... those sconces are the best... pair with battery candles and no fire hazard... the paned windows + ivy and light... so enchanting and wonderful. It all works together SO WELL. Like a freaking movie set. Someone mentioned they thought it lowered their blood pressure because it was so lovely and they weren't even a fan of this type of decor! OK now, really... what a testimony. That carpeting also helps reduce echo; the slide horizontal window for kitty to come visit you up front... more and more details that are just perfect. This guy "gets" old world charm and would probably make a killing selling more of these. I feel like it's a tiny hobbit home on wheels! I feel so fortunate to have seen this tour! The wonders of modern technology that it can reach basically anyone at all to view. Can't say enough!!! 💖💖💖 I just don't know that I can go with modern sleek after seeing this!!
Hi. That’s a lot to take in. Wow. I really appreciate you taking the time to say such things. There’s a a lot of time to deliberate on these things when building them continuously for 6 months straight. So I had plenty of time to keep tinkering with the final outcome. I did however have an overall feel and general living style I wanted it go for and I didn’t want to sacrifice on detail and functionality. It was very cathartic for me after my heart was shattered. So thank you. As for making a killing selling these … That’s another discussion. Feel free to email me if you want to discuss business. Cheers.
I’ve been a caregiver to my spouse since 2003 and I need a healing van and this one makes me feel at home and peaceful. Like you, l love jars, windows, cooking, showers and A/C. And oh how I need serenity and my own space. This van speaks to me. Love it.
The artistry here is so beautiful. The character and warmth of the design is just charming. I adore the windows and the fitted kitchen effect and the little bedroom has all the romance of an old fashioned gypsy wagon. Fabulous x
I absolutely LOVE this van! It’s warm, cozy and homey feeling. It has everything but one thing that I want. I could live very happily in this conversion. Well done. I love all of the attention to detail and the love that went into this build.
@@opiavisuals Ohhh the only thing I’d want is emergency access into the cab, preferably through the shower behind the corrugated tin. I’d assume you’d have to flip into the front over the drivers seat but that would be ok in a pinch. Absolutely perfect layout though. Beautifully designed!
I'm glad that you found and posted this guy's van. He has mad style and it's way clever how he did everything. He should travel around and help people build their vans. 😊
Such cool features in your van!! The little sealed windows with flowers, the brick. The archway between the BR and Kitchen. Amazing!! So many lovely things to look at. Love it!
What a beautiful build. The layout is awesome. Toilet & shower too, but still has a big kitchen. The wood, the colors, the brick, the wallpaper, the sink, the tiny windows, the decor and all its details, all of it is just amazing!! Can't say enough about it! So much character. Definitely cozy & homey! A full-blown tiny home in a van.
@@opiavisuals really? Are you serious? I just bought a van. It's a 1999 Chevy express. It's in really bad shape on the inside bcuz a paint can exploded. It has metal shelves inside that I have to rip out too. I have my work cut out for me HOWEVER, I'd graciously accept help from someone as skilled as you.
This is the most whimsical magical charming old world if I could design my own I would do one just like yours I'm absolutely in love with all the personal touches it's so beautiful thank you for sharing 😊
Just watched this today - how absolutely amazing. Coming from a Polish/German background, I really LOVED how Anthony has decorated this so that is actually feels not just like a house, but like a HOME. It is just stunning. Fabulous work :)
Oddly satisfied with this build... mostly because you put your actual love and interest in this build its amazing it reminds me of an old cabin in the mountains
This is my favorite build. I love it. ❤❤❤ I love the skylight & the stained glass, it looks great! What a wonderful job you have done here. I follow in Europe. This van is made to last! Thank you for this. Merry Christmas to you both! Much love. Anthony, your the man for doing this! Such character!
not only is the van the coolest i have ever seen...Anthony is the coolest, most thoughtful & creative guy! Awesome video, awesome build. Thanks for the video!
This build is a labor of love and has healing for you. Whatever you went through historically has fed your creativity. Move on and forward . Let it make you stronger and more determined to give your best in next project . Congratulations creating beauty! Amazing !!! Thank you!
Your outside back deck is phenomenal!!! Congratulations on channeling a tough situation into creative art and great way to support your life! Congratulations & blessings on your continued journeys.🙏🏽
This was awesome!! I’ve been looking for the full tour of this van after I’d seen it on TikTok. I totally agree about the European van builds and I designed my kitchen similarly up at the front like that as well but mine goes all the way across instead of a shower there. I LOVE that wallpaper and sink, the wooden framed window by the table and just everything!
Thank you holly. I adore what they have going over there. The old castles. The old wood. Etc. I want to live over there. Something about old ways of building make my heart move. Glad you enjoyed my build.
Oh my gosh you’re attention to cottage charm and functionality are spot on. I luv this unique van build. I’ve never seen a sink designed as such but it’s absolutely adorable.👏
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures Merry Christmas, Patrick! I'm doing great. Just waiting for the first signs of spring to get out and about. I hope you're doing well. I'm loving all the great campers you've been discovering. I hope to run into you again when I travel back to New Jersey. 🤗
I love all of the exquisite charm & detailed woodwork in this van. It immediately envelops you in the character and warmth of an English pub aesthetic with all the wood, brick, dark beamed ceiling, etc He packs a ton of features into it and yet it remains cozy and charming. Perhaps he should consider a Tuscan villa aesthetic as his next endeavor. Regardless, I have no doubt whichever direction he goes, the end result will be stunning!
Thank you Darlene. I personally thrive better when I feel there is a predisposition to each section. It’s almost like vaulted ceilings. The illusion is rather real.
I’ve seen a couple of this guys van builds now. They are so different, have so much personality (while being practical) and genuinely don’t feel like vans. Amazing work.
This is really beautiful! Workmanship was excellent and very creative. It shows this project was a labor of love. Once inside the van DOES NOT look like one. It's like entering into a fantasy home. So positive , relaxing & comfort! Love how you were able to show your talents and personality! Class One job!! Congratulations on this master piece.... Sincerely, Jackie
Thanks Jackie. I put a lot of love into it. I have always liked tiny homes and tree houses sort of things, so part of me did it that way for certain. Glad you like it.
That outdoor deck seating is da bomb! What a charming cabin he created, and I love the touches from his mom. Thanks for sharing this build with us, Patrick.
This is absolutely a passion build. Very warm and inviting and it absolutely looks like a HOME. The details have character. I could live in this and feel like I'm in a cabin. Sweetly done.
Wow, I am in awe of the good taste and talent it took to build that! It has the feel of a country cabin, warm and cozy right from the "welcome"ing entrance on! That sink is gorgeous! Everything from the paneling and ceiling, the archway, the windows by the bed (ivy!!!), the real window by the table complete with sill, your mom's plates, the fall flowers over the door, the outdoor antique showerhead, etc., all soooooo good! Really VERY impressive! Thank you both for sharing. I'm going to watch again now...
I live in NJ also. Such a beautiful place you have after watching hing your excellent craftsmanship and lo e you put into your home, like none I've ever seen before. Great living, and always be safe!
Such a cute build. Very creative. A lot of detail into making it the style it is. It's so homey and cozy feeling. Even the outdoor shower nozzle is a antique or resembles it. Love it. Somebody is going to have a lot of fun showcasing this piece of art.
This build is like the best and most homey I think I've seen yet. Part cabin in the woods, part vardo wagon with an old world European feel. Complete with the window boxes of ivy trellis climbing brick walls in the bedroom. Very romantic and fairytale, even. Carrying that theme to the fall flowers behind glass in your sliding door panel, nice touch. Then really going out in style with that outdoor bistro! So we know you carry a tool belt, but do you recite poetry, too?😊 FYI..,that's some inside stuff.
Wow Anthony you are an amazing man! If I were to ever live in a van. You would be my man for the job. The decor and functionality of it are right up my alley. Love the cozy bed nook and a cat just make it homey to me. Great job!!
Thank you for this build and video. My van build has come to a stop because of the weather and lack of inspiration. This build is very inspiring and reminded me of why I wanted to build out my own van in the first place. Nice work.
This van is chock full of charm and character and I was surprised by the attention to detail and furnishings. So quirky and reminiscent of ole English cottage.
That electrical system is beautiful. I like the original thinking and how cozy you have made it. Kudos to your mom on the artwork. Nice touch! Love the sink.
This isn't MY personal aesthetic but WOW! I am blown away with the attention to detail! Will borrow some of these ideas for my own build (I have a mini skoolie) because I also believe that the little details and finishing touches are what make something from "nice" to "wow!". Thanks so much for sharing!
@@opiavisuals thanks again and I for sure will! I love my little Wanda! (She's in storage for this winter) 2023 she gets built out inside and a facelift outside, can't wait! Thanks again for the inspo ☺
I could easily live in that space for the rest of my life. I also follow many overseas vanlifers and that was immediately what I thought of when I saw the division between the cab and living space..genius and beautiful! Bravo, Anthony! And welcome back to Jersey 🚐🙂🎄 great vid Patrick!! Merry Christmas everyone!
Yo Patrick, as always you seem to find the most unique builds and they just keep getting better and better. Anthony's rig immediately makes you feel at home. Totally unique. Love the front kitchen. Hello again from Mid Michigan
I love, love, love how you created this van. My favorite part is the little brick windows over the bed. Wow the homey details, all of it. It the little cottage in the woods on wheels. You’re very cleaver. This is my favorite van build. ❤❤❤
I don’t believe that I have ever seen so much character and charm in a van build ever. The thought and consideration to detail is so exact, one has to love and respect all of the thought that went into this “ home 🏠 on wheels “.

Very excited for this tour
Is it safe to sleep long term directly above that electrical power equipment?
Great build, so many amazing features. A piece of art for sure
Love it. It looks so homey and cozy. You did a great job.
This is a beautiful build! There are so many wonderful details. You’ll have no trouble finding a buyer for this one.
May I ask what you painted the pvc trim with to make it look like metal? Using that combination so that you didn’t have to bend metal is an ingenious idea!
Gosh ….I bet I’ve watched hundreds of van builds, but THIS is BY FAR my favorite! I’m from Germany living in Texas and this made my heart soar with nostalgia for a simpler time. Well done Anthony! I love the rivets and and sink in particular but could list a bunch more. 👏👏👏👏

This is the most whimsical magical charming old world if I could design my own I would do one just like yours I'm absolutely in love with all the personal touches it's so beautiful thank you for sharing 😊
So happy you found this
Thanks a smith.
Just watched this today - how absolutely amazing. Coming from a Polish/German background, I really LOVED how Anthony has decorated this so that is actually feels not just like a house, but like a HOME. It is just stunning. Fabulous work :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you. I am glad you noticed my passion in here.
This is a beautiful picture of your work of home hearth art..great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you very much.
Oddly satisfied with this build... mostly because you put your actual love and interest in this build its amazing it reminds me of an old cabin in the mountains
Glad you like it
Thank you. Yeah. I put my heart into it.
This is the sweetest build I've seen and I've been looking for a while. Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad you like it!
Thank you
This is my favorite build. I love it. ❤❤❤ I love the skylight & the stained glass, it looks great! What a wonderful job you have done here. I follow in Europe. This van is made to last! Thank you for this. Merry Christmas to you both! Much love. Anthony, your the man for doing this! Such character!
Thanks Cindy! That’s a huge compliment.
Thanks Cindy
not only is the van the coolest i have ever seen...Anthony is the coolest, most thoughtful & creative guy! Awesome video, awesome build. Thanks for the video!
We agree!
I don’t know about all that Corinne. My ex would disagree hahaha
I’m glad you like it ❤
Oh wow, I love this, it feels like a small home❤. What I wouldn’t give, it’s just lovely!
So happy you found this
Thank you !
Wow! I love the sink! Fausset! AND wall paper🤩
Beautiful
Glad you dig it !
The attention to detail is phenomenal! I loved the story and the gentleman's love for aesthetics.
Thank you very much. It was a very intense build for me and I’m happy people are responding well to it.
Thank you so much!
Wow! Is there a "love" icon? Lately I just bypass a lot of vans built out by men because they're so gray and tasteless but what an exception this is.
I’m happy you found this one
Thank you! I identify as a beaver, so maybe that's the difference? haha jk I really try to see all sides of life and art.
This build is beautifully done. Love the European cottage look. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed the tour Cynthia
Thank you!
I had to laugh, when i saw this video. It looks like the kitchen of my parents in very tiny! So cosy and nice! Best regards from Germany! 🤗👍🏼
Oh nice 👍🏽
That's awesome that I actually made it seem authentic. I really wanted to make it feel like another part of the world.
@@opiavisuals oh yes, it did! I've seen so many vans on RUclips, but your van is totally different and awesome! Feels like home!
Warm and inviting, a place for everything and everything in it's place..
It really is
Thank you
This build is a labor of love and has healing for you. Whatever you went through historically has fed your creativity. Move on and forward . Let it make you stronger and more determined to give your best in next project . Congratulations creating beauty! Amazing !!! Thank you!
Thank you. Indeed true words
Your outside back deck is phenomenal!!! Congratulations on channeling a tough situation into creative art and great way to support your life! Congratulations & blessings on your continued journeys.🙏🏽
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to give a nice reply.
I tried to make it really unique.
Unbelievable how creative this guy is!! The attention to detail is incredible! It's very warm and yes it looks like a home. Amazing!
Thank you very much!
Thank you much. I put alot of love into it
This was awesome!! I’ve been looking for the full tour of this van after I’d seen it on TikTok. I totally agree about the European van builds and I designed my kitchen similarly up at the front like that as well but mine goes all the way across instead of a shower there. I LOVE that wallpaper and sink, the wooden framed window by the table and just everything!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you holly. I adore what they have going over there. The old castles. The old wood. Etc. I want to live over there. Something about old ways of building make my heart move. Glad you enjoyed my build.
What a beautiful build & the wonderful little details. You can see your heart was put into this. Wishing you blessings & Incredible Journeys ahead
Thank you so much!
Thanks.
I love your philosophy, approach to life, and end-result work. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Oh my gosh you’re attention to cottage charm and functionality are spot on. I luv this unique van build. I’ve never seen a sink designed as such but it’s absolutely adorable.👏
Thank you so much. I put a lot of thought into making it authentic.

WOW!!! Anthony, your van is gorgeous!! You set the bar real high for rebuilds. Beautifully done 🤗💕
haha Well thank you.
Thanks so much Mary, hope you have been well.
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures Merry Christmas, Patrick! I'm doing great. Just waiting for the first signs of spring to get out and about. I hope you're doing well. I'm loving all the great campers you've been discovering. I hope to run into you again when I travel back to New Jersey. 🤗
@@maryrapsashague5794 looking forward to seeing you
Wow, the most beautiful I've seen. I wish I could buy it today, right now! I'm a fan girl.

Everything in your van build is wonderful, but that kitchen sink made me swoon! Sir, you're abilities and creativity are off the charts. Well done!
That's very quaint, it really does look and functions like a cozy cottage.
Thanks. It’s been really nice this time of year In it. Crispy and quiet.
Glad you think so Cynthia
I love all of the exquisite charm & detailed woodwork in this van. It immediately envelops you in the character and warmth of an English pub aesthetic with all the wood, brick, dark beamed ceiling, etc He packs a ton of features into it and yet it remains cozy and charming. Perhaps he should consider a Tuscan villa aesthetic as his next endeavor. Regardless, I have no doubt whichever direction he goes, the end result will be stunning!

What is a Tucson villa style? And thanks for checking it out. I put tons of love into it.
I love your van. It looks so homie, warm, and cozy. Great van!
Thanks Michelle
Thank you very much
Super job! The way the bed area was set off from the rest of the van was SO beautiful. And that stove/oven! Well-done! Thanks, Anthony & Patrick!
Thanks so much Darlene
Thank you Darlene. I personally thrive better when I feel there is a predisposition to each section. It’s almost like vaulted ceilings. The illusion is rather real.
I’ve seen a couple of this guys van builds now. They are so different, have so much personality (while being practical) and genuinely don’t feel like vans. Amazing work.
Out of all I've seen, Anthony's was one of the most creative, ho.ey, rustic and just the coolest. God bless you anthony
Thanks Michael. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the support
I absolutely love it, the old fashioned design you used is beautiful ❤️
Super cozy
thank you very much
This is really beautiful! Workmanship was excellent and very creative. It shows this project was a labor of love. Once inside the van DOES NOT look like one. It's like entering into a fantasy home. So positive , relaxing & comfort! Love how you were able to show your talents and personality! Class One job!! Congratulations on this master piece.... Sincerely, Jackie
Thank you very much Jackie
Thanks Jackie. I put a lot of love into it. I have always liked tiny homes and tree houses sort of things, so part of me did it that way for certain.
Glad you like it.
That outdoor deck seating is da bomb! What a charming cabin he created, and I love the touches from his mom. Thanks for sharing this build with us, Patrick.
Thank you Jill. Much apprecited

I really appreciate Anthony’s about the responsibilities to water and waste.😊
Agreed Michelle
Thank you
This is absolutely a passion build. Very warm and inviting and it absolutely looks like a HOME. The details have character. I could live in this and feel like I'm in a cabin. Sweetly done.
Hi. I’m glad you like it so much. I really tried to make it a home and I’m happy to hear people are resonating with it.
Thanks again.
Wow, I am in awe of the good taste and talent it took to build that! It has the feel of a country cabin, warm and cozy right from the "welcome"ing entrance on! That sink is gorgeous! Everything from the paneling and ceiling, the archway, the windows by the bed (ivy!!!), the real window by the table complete with sill, your mom's plates, the fall flowers over the door, the outdoor antique showerhead, etc., all soooooo good! Really VERY impressive! Thank you both for sharing. I'm going to watch again now...
Thanks very much Jonny . I poured my soul into this one.
Excellent feedback
Such an amazing and incredible place you have made. No other place I've ever seen that comes close to your home!!
Oh wow 🤩 Janet
Thank you! I gave it my all.
I live in NJ also. Such a beautiful place you have after watching hing your excellent craftsmanship and lo e you put into your home, like none I've ever seen before. Great living, and always be safe!
Such a cute build.
Very creative.
A lot of detail into making it the style it is.
It's so homey and cozy feeling.
Even the outdoor shower nozzle is a antique or resembles it.
Love it.
Somebody is going to have a lot of fun showcasing this piece of art.
Awesome to here, thanks for the support
Thank you much.
A smile on my lips when I saw the cute window , and the flowers on the door, so gorgeous,
So much happy in this van
Thank you 😊
This build is like the best and most homey I think I've seen yet. Part cabin in the woods, part vardo wagon with an old world European feel. Complete with the window boxes of ivy trellis climbing brick walls in the bedroom. Very romantic and fairytale, even. Carrying that theme to the fall flowers behind glass in your sliding door panel, nice touch. Then really going out in style with that outdoor bistro! So we know you carry a tool belt, but do you recite poetry, too?😊 FYI..,that's some inside stuff.
He did an amazing job and it a talented guy
Not only do I write poetry but I can cook too 😊. Glad you like
@@opiavisuals Not that I would have known that, but I should have known that😉.
Wow Anthony you are an amazing man! If I were to ever live in a van. You would be my man for the job. The decor and functionality of it are right up my alley. Love the cozy bed nook and a cat just make it homey to me. Great job!!
Thank you ! If all is right , I’d love to build you one. Cheers
Wow, thanks!
Thank you for this build and video. My van build has come to a stop because of the weather and lack of inspiration. This build is very inspiring and reminded me of why I wanted to build out my own van in the first place. Nice work.
You got this. Get the heat going and it will be just like doing work on your home
Keep moving forward. Don't let it die.
This van is chock full of charm and character and I was surprised by the attention to detail and furnishings. So quirky and reminiscent of ole English cottage.
It really is
This van has everything, I mean everything. It's a total home full of charm. I like it
Thank you for the support
Thank you
By far my most favorite build i have seen. I definitely could live in that and enjoy myself. You hit all the home feeling. Thank you
Wow, thank you!
Glad you dig it. I’m about to build another one starting this month.
That electrical system is beautiful. I like the original thinking and how cozy you have made it. Kudos to your mom on the artwork. Nice touch! Love the sink.
Thanks Leslie
Thanks. My buddy seqouia helped me put it together to make it really tight. And glad you enjoyed it.
Yes!! Sink and flower window, that huge stove, the 2 people dinette🥰 these pieces were my favorite
@@lillvill6403 thank you. I’m stoked you love it.
Anthony.
This isn't MY personal aesthetic but WOW! I am blown away with the attention to detail! Will borrow some of these ideas for my own build (I have a mini skoolie) because I also believe that the little details and finishing touches are what make something from "nice" to "wow!". Thanks so much for sharing!
I’m happy you liked his work
Happy to hear I inspired you. And yes, details and taking your time I feel is what translates in the end. Good luck on your skoolie and give it love
@@opiavisuals thanks again and I for sure will! I love my little Wanda! (She's in storage for this winter) 2023 she gets built out inside and a facelift outside, can't wait! Thanks again for the inspo ☺
Totally unique build and love the patio idea. Definitely like the rustic charm.
Thanks Leslie
thank you very much .
Love that flip up countertop at the door. First time I’ve seen that done
Pretty cool
Glad you dig it
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT ALL; IT IS SO ×PERIOD× AND NOSTALGIC THAT IT MAKES ME FEEL PEACEFUL. THANKS FOR SHARING. ITS ALL SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
I could easily live in that space for the rest of my life. I also follow many overseas vanlifers and that was immediately what I thought of when I saw the division between the cab and living space..genius and beautiful! Bravo, Anthony! And welcome back to Jersey 🚐🙂🎄 great vid Patrick!! Merry Christmas everyone!
So true. Thank you Christina
Thank you very much. I'm happy to hear people are resonating with what I went for.
Yo Patrick, as always you seem to find the most unique builds and they just keep getting better and better. Anthony's rig immediately makes you feel at home. Totally unique. Love the front kitchen. Hello again from Mid Michigan
Cool, thanks
Glad you dig it
Love, love, love your wall deco from your Mom. They look perfect with your decor!! Great build.
haha yeah. She gave me so many old things to go in there like pots, cooking utensils etc. I wanted every part to feel authentic to a true old build.
Me too
I Watch vans everyday but this one took my breath away
You are an artist, bravo!!!
Thank you!😊
I love, love, love how you created this van. My favorite part is the little brick windows over the bed. Wow the homey details, all of it. It the little cottage in the woods on wheels. You’re very cleaver. This is my favorite van build. ❤❤❤
Thank you very much for the awesome words. Glad you’re stoked on it.
