Dakota and Dalton live with their newborn baby in an amazing DIY skoolie that might be one of the most stylish (and functional!) that we’ve ever featured. They chose a unique layout, placing the bathroom at the very back of the bus, and you’ll see how they incorporated rattan, gold, and swans throughout the build.

Their couch converts to a twin-size bed for guests, with custom burnt orange upholstery that pops! Their functional kitchen has a massive farmhouse sink and an oven for baking. What’s not to love about this bus conversion?

Highlights:

  • Dakota and Dalton spent their honeymoon in a van traveling around Oregon, and after that experience, they knew they wanted to go tiny full-time.
  • They purchased the bus sight unseen at auction and spent 7 months making it their home.
  • Since they weren’t expecting a baby when they started, they’ll need to make some adjustments to their bus schedule as their daughter grows.
  • The swan faucet in the bathroom hearkens to the swan on the front of the bus.
  • They chose a wet bath, and the bus back door opens if they ever want to shower with a view.
