When Hannah and Tim started this skoolie conversion, neither of them had used a power tool before. But you wouldn’t know it looking at their gorgeous budget build! All in all, they spent about $30K on the bus and conversion and the result is a stunning and functional space with a wood stove, two convertible beds, and a fixed queen in the back.
They really prioritized the kitchen since they both love cooking, and they have oodles of counter space. Hannah works a full-time remote corporate job, while Tim is an author and the bus handyman. Check out more of their handiwork below!

Very attractive space with many good features. For their little experience — so impressive. Love the kitchen, the dining arrangement, the wood burning stove and more. (also appreciate how comfy they made it for their kit-kat)!!
I’ve seen this bus before, and it’s one of my favorites. It’s so much like a little cottage– cozy and comfy — with lots of style and lovely decorating. It’s just so sweet!
