This is the story of how this young family is living simply in a school bus tiny house that they built themselves.
From the outside, it looks like a tiny cabin until you notice that it’s built right onto a school bus frame!
When you go inside, you’ll find a cozy living area suitable for a family of three with room to sleep, store their belongings, play guitar, cook, eat, bathe, relax, and more! Please enjoy, learn more, and re-share this inspiring story below. Thank you!

I really like this home. I especially love the wood burning stove and hearth. However, I would rather be in labor for 22 days while at a dentist having all my teeth pulled with no anesthesia than have to try to make the bed. The bed and room it’s in is very cute though.
Liz, I’m still laughing!!! First thing I thought was, “How do you make that bed???” My bed is only set against the wall, and it is a PIA to make. And I’m too old with bad knees to climb up to the loft.
Other than that, this bus conversation is perfect. I’m in love with the quality workmanship – and the colors are perfect, too.
OK, I’m ready to move in! 😉
No doubt the most beautiful tiny house bus I have ever seen. Do you drive it around?
Where is the shower? That is sooo very sweet characteristic charming home! Love it and I want one too.
They have really done a beautiful job with this home. Nice homey decor without being too cluttered and it appears to have a good amount of storage. Great job!
Charming. I wonder where the two year old sleeps, but the bath appears to be between the kitchen and the cab of the bus. Beautiful work.
You have made a lovely home and family together. May God richly bless each of you and the whole. Thank you for sharing with us. Happy Trails!
I think this is beautiful, one of my very favorites.two questions. But I have two questions:
Where does the child sleep?
And why bother to build this on the bus frame? To satisfy zoning?
For sure to satisfy zoning. The wheels are still there and it is not tied on to a foundation, therefore it is classified as an RV.
Technically it can move to another location. Technically being “well dang it, it was running last week, don’t know why it isn’t right now Mr building inspector.”
Love this transformation, great craftsmanship. Love to have that beautiful bed. This would be great as a stand alone home or on regular trailer. Great job guys!
Beautiful Job!
This one rocks! One very magical THOW. Looks like something out of a movie, but functional. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
How lovely, it’s absolutely charming! Well this has got my cogs turning. It is just my style.
🙂
I love the ceiling.
As a retired restaurant owner, I need a powered exhaust fan over the range. Gas stoves create massive amounts of CO. Detectors (plural)?
This has to be one of the sweetest homes I’ve seen. It’s a combination of cottage and hobbit. I would love to see a design on a regular frame rather than the school bus. The bed has to be my favorite. I could see it even a bit lower to make the loft higher and steps designed into the drawer for easier access. All in all a beautiful, light and bright little space.
Wow! Great videos of a fantastic house and a wonderful couple of people. I also vote for them as the best tiny house in the world! I’m also copying that bed surround. Well done, and much happiness to you. I love the rv and the Chia House, too. Amazing!
This is one of my favorite bus converted tiny houses. Everything inside is built to accommodate belongings needed. I like that! Kudos!
This is a fairy tale come true, everything is confirmed. A dream of tender and romantic love come true. Where the frot of the bus is the surreal touch to complete the work.
Is a Fairy Tale full colors, where the protagonists are the Love and Enthusiasm, which generate two children Creativity and Art.
