As a former mom of two-under-two, I’m incredibly impressed that Ben and Mia managed to buy and convert this school bus into their full-time home while juggling a baby and barely-toddler! They actually first built a tiny house while living in Sweden (where Mia is from), before moving stateside and choosing a skoolie conversion.
Ben says the school bus was more fun to work on, overall, and they’ve made it an awesome home. Inside you’ll find bunks for both kiddos, a shower with tub, safe hookups for the kids’ car seats, and an impressively pared-down toy collection for the children. All in all, they spent $11,000 on the bus, and another $11,000 on the conversion.
Check out their awesome botanical decor and get all the solar array details in the video tour with Jenna from Tiny House Giant Journey below.

What a wonderful family you have at what wonderful memories you are making for them! You’ve made a great cozy home for them. I agree with getting rid of the plastic! Classic wooden learning toys are the best! Have a blessed life and enjoy your travels! Susan
Yes I agree too! Plastic toys that make noise are the worst.
What a lovely home! Lots of seating, and I love the storage under the seating as well. The kids are adorable and have lots of space to explore. Would love to see more one day. I am really a fan of bus living!! Wish the family safe travels and lots of adventure!
I love it! I think you figured out a really good floor plan. The simple decor is very appealing too; should be comfortable to live with. Beautiful family. I agree with Marsha, above: would love to hear from this family again, see how it all works out.
You should follow them on Instagram! I did so I could keep up with them 🙂
This is one of the few schoolies that I actually like. It also looks like it has a Scandinavian touch. I like the shower tub, too.
Yes I find that Scandinavian decor is quite fitting for tiny homes.
