Meet Amber and Eli who spent the last four years working on their DIY school bus conversion! They spent one year living in the bus largely unfinished and have finally completed the build and are on a four-month travel stint. When they aren’t on the road, they live stationary at a bus dealership where they work.
They prioritized their kitchen and bathroom above all, and have oodles of counter space, a large stainless sink, a separate fridge, and an extra freezer, and they spared no expense in their shower! Glass tiles, exposed copper pipes, and a glass bowl sink give their shower a spa-like feel.

The reclaimed wood on the ceiling came from a 1930s home.

They have 10 feet of counter space because they love to cook!

Are we supposed to look at the pictures of the owners or pictures of the bus? Not sure why they’re in every picture when the subject of this post is supposed to be about tiny homes.
The owners are the story, though, without which we’d have no beautiful bus at which to gaze.
Very good looking! Seems to have lots of storage — So many pretty features that they incorporated.
Would have liked to know more about their fridge (since they love to cook — sorta crucial I would say).
Loved the video. Very detailed, and I love that. The bathroom is divine. Thanks for sharing, and happy trails.
On a personal note: my name is Lynnette and my birthday breaks down to 1951708 (or variations on that) so I was curious about what your tattoo on your upper right arm says, if you’d care to share.
Love Lyn
Lovely, well organized home. Absolutely love the ceiling and floors, but that ceiling is a work of art. Great job, guys!
