    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 “.

    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.

    oh my gosh, is THAT beautiful!!! 🙂 sorry, to say that: many "male-buildt" RVs are too cold for my taste, many "female-buildt" RVs are too playfull or romatic for my taste, but this one here is fantastic!!! old-fashioned, but functional, cosy but straight and clear, open, but cleverly closed storage, well organized in one kind of style..... thanks a lot for showing us your home! 🙂

    What a lovely man & van build. As someone whose style has been called eclectic & cosy, (maybe even cluttered 🤷‍♀️) this feels like home.
    He seems very genuine & even a bit shy/nervous, and did a great job talking us through an obvious labour of love. I hope it was cathartic.
    (one thing I do love about other builds though is the clean aesthetic, which for me is an escape from my real life to a more minimalist version of myself, so don't know that I want to travel in something that reminds me so much of my home 😬😂)
