I love seeing what people can do with little-to-no experience and a tight budget! Young couple Jason and Taylor spent just $15,000 creating their awesome skoolie home, and neither of them had much of any building experience.
Taylor admits Jason did most of the build himself, and wow he did a great job! YouTube tutorials and lots of research helped through each step of the way, and the finished product is a bright and airy home.
While they’ve lived stationary in the bus for about a year, they hit the road a couple months ago to travel. Get all the details about their build from the Tiny Home Tours interview below.

They went with a simple grey sofa so they could add color as they want.

They used reclaimed cabinets and butcher block from Lowes.

A $15 paint sprayer helped them change the color of the bus.

Really nice. Cozy and pleasant.
Nice build. The light colors give it some spaciousness. Only thing for myself, I wouldn’t separate the sink from the toilet room. I like that the couch doesn’t face a wall like so many tiny homes do.
Absolutely beautiful! You did a wonderful job building a cozy interior even though you had no experience. I love the paint colors, and the bathroom. It really is lovely and so set up for travel. You did a great job! Be safe and enjoy your travels.
Cute couple, gorgeous dog and lovely home! Who could ask for more! Love it!!
Totally agree!
Lovely job Jason! I think you could do this for a living, it is done so well and lovely decorating job Taylor! So talented so young. Enjoy life!!!
