Thanks for watching!
I love how she made it unique to her own love for art and experimentation! Loved the counter too and roof wall paper.
Creativity everywhere !
Thank you so much!
What an inspiration, if I can be even half as ambitious and creative when I am her age, seems like a sweet lady with a great soul, great heart!
Patti’s build out on her van is so thoughtful and personal. A few favorites include how she attached her black out curtains, the wooden countertop, and that great chair, lounge, bed combination. The truck bed liner on the outside is also really neat!
I also really enjoyed Patti’s perseverance in finding what would work best for her over the time she’s had her van. Her positive approach and great smile is inspirational!
Thank you for sharing!
Awe thank you!
You said it all, and I agree 100.
Such a talented lady! I am so impressed with everything she has done with this van. Such good taste. Wow! And Charlie is a cutie!
favorite thing was Patti's laugh : ) Handsome Charlie and Brian's calm voice and interview skills : ) The van was great too loved how Patti painted the exterior with bed liner paint

I love the knob privacy curtain.
Such a great idea that looks nice.
Works great too! Thank you!
I actually stole that idea from Rob and Jan Can Van! Great couple!
It's a beautiful reflection of Patti's personality and creativity. Love it!
Thank you!
Go girl power! 👍🏼🤟🏼🎉😍 That's really cool how she was able to build that counter. Being an artist, well, the creativity shows. 👏🏼 👌🏼 I loved the entire thing but if I had to choose a fave, it would be the bed, counter top and the epoxy work. I couldn't pick just one. 😊 Thank you for stopping by her van and thanks to Patti for allowing us to be part of her very 1st tour. 💐
Thank you so much for these sweet words! My inner artist is blushing!
@@PattisArtInnaVan You're welcome 😊
I am totally impressed with this build that Patti did. And I love her laugh. Such a sweet woman. The counter top is totally awesome and I would have to say my fave would be the chair bed. Such a cool idea. Thank you Brian for bringing us all this tour.
I really appreciate this thank you!
So envious of her energy,... hope to get out there like that one day. I enjoyed watching and seeing her happiness and peace come through.

@@PattisArtInnaVanI'm sorry to hear that, but I'm certain your next home will have the same stylish flair.
Love your Van
The dog seat and countertops are fantastic. Thank you for the mobile inspectors tip, Patti! I will spread the word.
I like this build, which is similar to what I currently have. It gives me an idea of what it would be like when I get a fiberine high roof top for my low roof van. I also use the foldable loo, the max air fan installed in the rear window, and a planet fitness membership.
Awesome!!!
