Hey you lovelies! 💕
Welcome to my little cottage on wheels!!!! 🤗
My names Josie btw 😊 an English girl.
And I have been building this bus for ... a while now ..
and its finally finished!! I filmed this video after living in my bus for one month... and today I have just realised (by a happy accident) its my two month anniversary of living in here 😍 (I moved in on Star Wars day ... may the 4th be with you 😁) 🤟
Build wise - everything you see - I built from scratch, including most of the soft furnishings.
I was a complete DIY beginner, and I don't pretend that this was an easy task for little old me, but its been so empowering to learn the skills and now after 3 years of hard work I'm so happy with the fruits of my labour.
I recommend it to anyone that wants to give it a go! we can all do hard things ☺️ 🙌
I did pay the pros to help me with a few things however:
- Welding
- Gas
- electrics
- log burner
- diesel heater
- plumbing
(it took me 3 years to have a go at all the woodwork and sewing... I thought perhaps it would take me 10 years if I undertook all of that as well lol 😅) - but I do harbour some regrets on this matter.
* A video reflection :
After watching this video back, I made myself laugh a few times just because of the outrageously posh English phrases I sometimes say in my voice overs (I wonder if you know the ones I mean? ) - said for effect FYI... not sure I know anyone that talks like that in real life lol 😝
Thank you for joining me here in my little corner of the internet 🙌

Think this is my favourite van build of all time.

I am incredibly jealous!! I am a 70 year old woman and so regret that I didn't take the opportunity to do something like this when I was young. Back in my day a woman travelling solo like this would have been an oddity. Your bus conversion is exceptional and really reflects your personality. I think it speaks to a lot of woman because whether we love modern decor, industrial, cottage, we all like a little whimsy. Good luck on your travels and have a wonderful time. I will come along for the ride! Deborah

This is a fairytale, not a bus. Love it so much ❤

A full kitchen and real bathroom with an indoor shower in a van build? This is beyond impressive.

I love that there’s an actual comfy sofa instead of an uncomfortable storage bench

this van tour healed my depression

I have never wanted something so bad. This is one of the best van conversion I have seen in a while. I feel like a little girl watching this. It is like watching a fairytale. SO dreamy ❤

At no point during the interior tour did it look or feel like a bus. If you told me I was inside a cozy stone cottage I'd believe you. What a creative and innovative build, well done ❤

This is so lovely! If a DisneyPrincess lived in a Van; this would be the van and princess.

Because you line your cupboards with cute cottage paper, you are going straight to heaven. 😇

I love how your van actually is realistic with the amount of storage you have and your personal belongings etc - it actually feels liveable

I wish I had done this when I was younger! Now I’m late 40s, married with a kid in a big house and my husband would never agree to live in a bus. You’re very skilled and talented and thought of everything! ❤

You’re really gifted. Even though it took you 3 years, you thought every little place through. It’s so well organized and beautifully decorated. I can’t even imagine all the skills you need to make that. I wouldn’t live all year long in a van like this but I would definitely spend time when I need to ressource myself. Thank you for this visit. I loved it. 💛💚

This tops the cuteness scale but also appears to be very well thought out for practical functionality

She built a bus that matches her perfectly. Beautiful. She also has amazing hair.

I’m genuinely so impressed with how many things you were able to reasonably fit in this van! It’s a perfect combination of whimsy and practicality 💕

If Tinkerbell lived in the real world, this is where she would live. I don't usually like cottage core that much, but this van is sooo cozy!! Btw this dog is a cat in disguise.
