We love how this family converted a school bus into an amazingly comfortable, functional & beautiful tiny home. The layout is the best--no hallway look/feel.

@@MyFriendlyPupwe definitely love a good raise. We are biased about this bus because it's one of our personal favorites. The layout is truly fantastic, and we adore the style. To each their own ;)
I haven't found you guys for the last year watching all your videos I am looking for someone that's willing to sell this in California. Do you know anybody?
This video alllmost did it justice! It’s even crazier taking seeing it all in person, the details pop even more! Love you mom! (I am the 15 year old teenager! Haha)
Teresa Padrick My parents are divorces yes, Jonathan is my step dad and Shyla is my mom. So I live there whenever I can, as well as the 17 year old son she talks about.
She did a beautiful job decorating their house. Her crafts are AMAZING! I'm sure her husband's work is great too but I'm an artist and I'm so impressed.
That dish drying cabinet is the greatest idea EVER. How have I not seen that before?! This is also the most spacious skoolie I've seen. Such a wonderful job of conserving space!
This is actually something pretty normal in Europe. Now that we have dishwashers, not many people choose to have it but it is definitely a well-known option. I was happy to see it in a tiny home :)
I love the fact that they have completely avoided the bowling alley effect. Each space is well-defined and even though one may flow into the next, each is allowed to be its own thing. Very nice.
when i first saw this i had never even seen a bus tour that didnt have the bowling alley and i can say for sure i prefer this bus layout more than the normal bowling alley ones
I cried watching this.. I needed this so much. I just left a very toxic relationship I'm a newly single mother of 3 and have dreamed of freedom for as long as I can remember life has a funny way of showing u the signs this just showed up on my feed ... thank u!!
I am a single mom leaving a toxic abusive marriage after 9yrs. I just bought a tiny house and some days i still dont know how im gonna do it, but i'm doing it. Building it on my own too! If i can, you can do it!!! STAY STRONG, love! Hug those babies tight.
I couldn’t have said it any better!!! This is Absolutely Amazing!!! Such a happy place, with so much color and coolness!!! Safe Travels and Be Well!!!!!
It's nice to see a younger version of hippies. I remember the hippies of the 1960's which was my era. Love the bus and the colors and design too. Happy traveling.
My oldest brother's first gf was named Edie. She turned me into great music. I was 5 and listening to Hair by the Cowsgills amongst many others lol. Love the name. Don't come across many Edie's.
@@barbibutton9619I get phone calls leaving a message for saying EDDIE instead of Edie..They think its a misspelled name and add an extra "D". Its been going on for decades since the 1950's so I am use to it as I am almost 74.
Edie- Nice to see someone from my era. I turned 70 this year. My husband will be 75. We still live " The Best of the 1970s". Folks said we couldn't go back and I said, "Watch me." Looks like this fine family has done the same :-).We lived off the land back then, helped neighbors clear land and build homes. Organic vegetable gardens and all that went with that true Permaculture experience. We just knew it as "farming in the woods!" And guess what? Today, all that knowledge/ experience is serving us well. Yes, we built a farm cottage in the woods of New Hampshire in 2016. Once again living The Good Life. We know that song...its all good!
I really enjoyed their kitchen layout and disassembled bathroom. I think too many tiny homes are fixed on the idea the toilet, shower and sink have to be in the same box and that really limits the use of space resulting in really narrow or cramped quarters. Their layout solutions really break up the sight lines making so many interesting nooks of expression and fully utilized space. For someone like me who doesn't have children or pets that back area would be perfect as a craft space or maybe expand the bedroom area to leave a larger center zone in the home. Brilliant design overall. Y'all have very well executed work here!
Does the children's room get adequate heating now? It was said with a smile but I'm imagining the 6yr old cold in that tiny little cramped bunkroom. I'm shocked there isn't a few feet more space for the bunkhouse. Those children deserve more sq ft.
@@MyFriendlyPup they have blankets and a whole sleeper sofa the child can sleep on during the colder nights if needed. I'm sure they dont make their child sleep there when it's too cold
I don't have children at home any longer, but I would love this bus; it is right up my alley on the way it is set up, its unique decor, and the over all design. You both did a beautiful job.
I love that they gave the children a real room and not a drawer to sleep in. It's still small (but hey, it's a bus) but it's big enough for them to have a place to rest or play!
Amazing! I love the design and colors. The dish rack over the sink, clever, also the door in the back that separates the main bedroom from the bunk beds. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely love your home and the floor plan is amazing, it's the best one I have seen. Makes the bus look and feel so roomy and not so much like a long alley like so many.
The interior design is brilliant and the decor is beyond beautiful! I've never been so amazed by so much color and details that pull together so beautifully.
As a teenager in the sixties (a sixties hippy) I can identify with your lifestyle. Love your skoolie and all you have done to it. Keep vlogging, stay healthy, in this time that our world is so ILL.. thank you for sharing..
Crikey, this is definitely the most creative bus I've seen. Particularly in terms of storage and general living solutions. It's very apparent that you've created the perfect happy/fulfilling lifestyle for you and and I love that - it's wonderful to see. Fair dinkum, good on you!
Well done! Brings back great memories of my husband and I converting an Arnold Bread truck into a camper. We took off to Prince Edward Island in the summer 1972. Stayed three months. It was awesome! I still remember the faded jeans, tie dye t-shirts, red bandanas, peace belt buckles and moccasins. Have the round wire rimmed glasses somewhere...
A complete example of a modern day hippie bus. Every one of the bus conversions are called the most amazing, the most beautiful, fantastic etc etc. None of them are the same, each bus is as individual as the people who built them. It doesn't matter what other people think of your bus. It only has to be the best most beautiful, fantastic, wonderful bus to the people who built it and live in it! Why would they care what anyone else thinks.
Yess!! Although I have been inside dozens of other people's busses and they are all extraordinary in their own unique ways! I've never seen one I didnt love
@@shelleyrambleson9198 age is just a number. :) my dream is a tiny house. Even if it's closer to or at retirement age. Best wishes to you in your journey. Hey check out channel creativity RV too. Robin's story is incredible and she's so much fun!
So many great ideas! We're still in the gutting and sealing-up-leaks stage of our build, but I'm totally stealing many of your ideas when we get to that point!
I love her style! Love those curtains! I like watching conversions but this bus is by far the best & coolest home on wheels I’ve seen to date.....if I ever decide to go on the road...this would be my ride and home! Love it! Awesome job!
I've lost track of how many of these skoolie videos I've watched on UA-cam but this bus is THE BEST one I've seen hands down!!!! I've watched it at least five times and see something new and unique and wonderful with each view and have sent it to loads of people. This is truly a warm and comfortable home. If I ever manage to fulfill my dream of a skoolie tiny home, this will be my inspiration!!!!
Omg, I love this bus so much. I live in a camper that's still a little too modernized for me after seeing your conversion. I love your hippie lifestyle, all the paisleys, the burlap curtains, and the gorgeous fabric swatch curtains. So many aspects of your beautiful home are so breath taking and many who knows me would say, my style :). Oh and I can't leave without mentioning the awesome woodwork. Hard work pays off! I'm an artist/art teacher and live your decision to finish them yourself 💕. Simply awsome.
I absolutely love this build you made the space work for you I like that you guys have your space and the kids have their space decent bathroom decent living room kitchen my favorite is the drying rack out of the bottom of the cabinets super clever
I really like your decorations and your choice of colors. The colors are bold, shows life , calmness, family togetherness. As for your curtains you said you may change out. Please don't they are beautiful and says so much who you are !!!!!! Safe travels.....live life to the fullest. I must add the art work on yellow brick road from Wizard Of Oz Is my daughter favorite movie. She wore out 2 movie tapes, has watched it on TV Every year for 45 yr. She 49 now. She is a special need child/ adult. She stopped maturity at 10/ 12 yrs old. Very much believes in the magical of life , there is a Santa clause, Easter. Ect
This is the best builds I've ever seen for a Skokie, and dare I say even better than tiny homes I've seen. I would love this exact set up. Minus the bunks, cause I dont have kids. I'd slad just one smaller bed in the back with a small nightstand maybe, and probably put my keyboard back there. But it's so homey. It's honestly the dream
The curtains that you have added is really nice and very well placed. It adds a homey feel that is still open. All together, you have made a beautiful home. You and your husband are a great team!! Keep enjoying your life👌🏾
Wow, wow, wow so pretty, what an amazingly functional fun layout. Best schoolie ever!! Great job guys! Enjoy your life. Live it to the fullest. PS. I decided what I wanted to be when/if I grow up ((I'm 65)) when I was 54.
I just commented on another bus conversation saying it was the best I’d seen to date but then you guys popped up and I now have 2 favorites. Man, the colors, fabrics, designs you chose draws me in and puts me in a beautiful space mentally. I have to say what phenomenal people you seem to be, you’re real and your kids are blessed to have you and to experience the life you’ve provided them. When they’re adults they’ll make a difference in the way the world operates and respects our natural resources so I say bravo to you! I wish you continued happiness and success on your life’s journey! Peace Family💜🙏💜🤘🏿💜!
I love these people and I love their home! I have been saying all of my life that I don't know what I wanna be when I grow up and I'm 53, so any day now I might figure it out...Nah! I refuse to grow up! I've lived tiny 3 times and am only livin in a house because of aging in-laws who have one side and we have the other side of a duplex. I will live tiny again. I love what she said about the longer she lives out of the box, the further she gets out of the box. That really resonated with me. Actually, it excited me! I look forward to what's to come and this family is an inspiration! Thanks for sharing!
I am so borrowing your floor plan. I just love it. Might even add you colours. I’m going to show my wife (this is her iPad, I killed mine) your video ‘cause we need a pro website for our business. I subbed and saved for when I finally find a tour bus like yours. Cheers to Canadian Freedom.
I love love your home you two have created. I love the colors and warmth. And the layout is great especially the bedrooms. The master looks so comfortable and warm. And I love how homey you made the kids room. It actually looks like a big bedroom. Not just a small area on a bus. I can imagine your kids really like it too!! I have seen alot of skoolies with kids areas and you have out done everyone. Oh I also love the dish drying cabinet. Great idea. And you guy's have proven that hippies doesn't mean what people make it out to be. You have a nice home and your husband is very smart with his own business on the internet. And I think you would make a great interior designer no matter the style. You do a really great job with it and have a great eye. When and if you ever wanted to do something besides taking care of your kids, you and your husband could design buses and vans out there on the road. Keep everyone safe with this virus thing. Have Fun Stay Safe P.S. to the people doing the video, why in the world would you not correct the kids behind sticking out. I know you had to see it. You could of even edited it out. There are way too many pervs out there. Otherwise, great video
Thank you so much for the kind words! Honestly, I'm kinda glad they left it in. We are huge advocates for body positivity and normalizing skin so it fit in our ideals well. I will say I wish my son would choose pants that fit a little better though 😅😂
@@BackroadsorBust well he seems we adjusted. It didn't seem to bother him. My son is 28 and he won't wear a belt and I have to stay on him all the time for the same thing. 🙄Kids😂
I could move into this bus and not change a thing! So many beautiful things to look at and lots of comfort! I love having a dog near me and that dog on the couch made me smile! Awesome build!!!!!
Thanks for bringing this family and bus to us. Great bus, and they've thought through everything clearly to make it work for them. Props! As an old hippy girl, I appreciate their philosophy and obvious hard work. Blessings to all, including you two travel warriors! 🙏😘
I love how colorful this space is, my favorite is the stain/color that she did on the kitchen cabinets. I can't imagine having 4 kids in that space though, even part-time.
It's great! We all have our own separated spaces to get away from each other when needed, or space to hang out all together. Those things are what we lacked in our first tiny home and it has made all the difference!
OMG I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT...!!! AMAZING FAMILY AND AMAZING HOME... I WOULD BE IN HEAVEN LIVING THERE...PURE BEAUTY AND SO CLOSE TO PERFECTION...!!!
What a beautiful way to rise your children understanding and valuing what really matters in life! Teach them to spend time with their close ones, teach them to love to be free, teach them to enjoy life, teach them to embrace their creativity and you will have great adults. I love each and every detail of your home, I love the way the mom smiles and how dad goes grounded! Namaste!
This is incredible! It looks big on the outside, but it looks HUGE on the inside. So many great and clever ideas, I especially love the plate storage/draining cupboard. But the main thing I love is you can feel the charm and character of this home, it looks a beatiful place to live. I love van life videos, in an alternative universe I'm touring Europe or America in van conversion or small camper.
OMG 😉 Seriously, I viewed over a thousand camper videos, but never seen a built so unique like this one, both wife & husband built an excellent home. "May God Bless You & Family, 👪 Be Safe
Wow! This is the best schoolie ever! Perfect title. I love the wood paint, the paisley art and the curtains. Keep the curtains!!! Fantastic job! Amazing use of space.
This home is the best conversion I have seen. The use of space, attention to detail, the bunk house, size of kitchen. I would totally live in it. So very cool.
I adore your lamp with you. It's amazing. So is your taste. I see alot of love loves in your amazing home on wheels. Safe travels family. Have a blast. Thank you for adding dogs to your family. They to are enjoying the lifestyle. It's a great one your family is living. Enjoy every minute!
Holy living the hippy life that is soo cool how it's all put together you have taste mom girl good for you guys hope you have lots of amazing trips as well..

Hold on to your witts, don't be afraid to release that negative energy...into a build of a small, not tiny house.

i think it’s really rad that they focused a lot on giving their kids the option of privacy. really cool design :)
It's not entirely selfless motivation, it also keeps their messes more contained 😅
Beautiful, Thank You for the Inspiration! Proud Of You! Blessings!😇

#1 Bus Ever, praying for the best and God Bless you all.
Just perfect. I wish I'd had something like this when my kids were small. Such a blessing to be so free, enjoy every second xXx
I love these people and I love their home! I have been saying all of my life that I don't know what I wanna be when I grow up and I'm 53, so any day now I might figure it out...Nah! I refuse to grow up! I've lived tiny 3 times and am only livin in a house because of aging in-laws who have one side and we have the other side of a duplex. I will live tiny again. I love what she said about the longer she lives out of the box, the further she gets out of the box. That really resonated with me. Actually, it excited me! I look forward to what's to come and this family is an inspiration! Thanks for sharing!
I am so borrowing your floor plan. I just love it. Might even add you colours. I’m going to show my wife (this is her iPad, I killed mine) your video ‘cause we need a pro website for our business. I subbed and saved for when I finally find a tour bus like yours. Cheers to Canadian Freedom.
I love love your home you two have created. I love the colors and warmth. And the layout is great especially the bedrooms. The master looks so comfortable and warm. And I love how homey you made the kids room. It actually looks like a big bedroom. Not just a small area on a bus. I can imagine your kids really like it too!! I have seen alot of skoolies with kids areas and you have out done everyone.
Oh I also love the dish drying cabinet. Great idea.
And you guy's have proven that hippies doesn't mean what people make it out to be. You have a nice home and your husband is very smart with his own business on the internet. And I think you would make a great interior designer no matter the style. You do a really great job with it and have a great eye. When and if you ever wanted to do something besides taking care of your kids, you and your husband could design buses and vans out there on the road.
Keep everyone safe with this virus thing.
Have Fun
Stay Safe
P.S. to the people doing the video, why in the world would you not correct the kids behind sticking out. I know you had to see it. You could of even edited it out. There are way too many pervs out there. Otherwise, great video
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Honestly, I'm kinda glad they left it in. We are huge advocates for body positivity and normalizing skin so it fit in our ideals well. I will say I wish my son would choose pants that fit a little better though 😅😂
@@BackroadsorBust well he seems we adjusted. It didn't seem to bother him.
My son is 28 and he won't wear a belt and I have to stay on him all the time for the same thing. 🙄Kids😂
I could move into this bus and not change a thing! So many beautiful things to look at and lots of comfort! I love having a dog near me and that dog on the couch made me smile! Awesome build!!!!!
Thanks for bringing this family and bus to us. Great bus, and they've thought through everything clearly to make it work for them. Props!
As an old hippy girl, I appreciate their philosophy and obvious hard work. Blessings to all, including you two travel warriors! 🙏😘
💖 happy to share such an inspiring home and folks!
I love how colorful this space is, my favorite is the stain/color that she did on the kitchen cabinets. I can't imagine having 4 kids in that space though, even part-time.
It's great! We all have our own separated spaces to get away from each other when needed, or space to hang out all together. Those things are what we lacked in our first tiny home and it has made all the difference!
Fabulous lifestyle, totally chilled people and the bus is fantastic, 👍
I have seen so many of these conversions and never seen what she has done with the dishes, 2 in one. that was BRILLIANT!!!
I love the whole bus you guys!! You are so creative from the front to the back. The colors and style. Love love love.✌❤
I love the curtains!!! :) Great home on wheels, very creative. :)
OMG I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT...!!! AMAZING FAMILY AND AMAZING HOME... I WOULD BE IN HEAVEN LIVING THERE...PURE BEAUTY AND SO CLOSE TO PERFECTION...!!!
What a beautiful way to rise your children understanding and valuing what really matters in life! Teach them to spend time with their close ones, teach them to love to be free, teach them to enjoy life, teach them to embrace their creativity and you will have great adults. I love each and every detail of your home, I love the way the mom smiles and how dad goes grounded! Namaste!
This is incredible! It looks big on the outside, but it looks HUGE on the inside. So many great and clever ideas, I especially love the plate storage/draining cupboard. But the main thing I love is you can feel the charm and character of this home, it looks a beatiful place to live.
I love van life videos, in an alternative universe I'm touring Europe or America in van conversion or small camper.
I really like the curtains!! Awesome bus!
This is absolutely incredible. And it has the warmth of a home..I don't always see this in tiny living. Gotta love a crafter!!
OMG 😉
Seriously, I viewed over a thousand camper videos, but never seen a built so unique like this one, both wife & husband built an excellent home. "May God Bless You & Family, 👪 Be Safe
I love love this! These are my kinda people ✌️❤️😁
Incredible! Dorothy is a work of art.
I've seen this bus on 3 different UA-cam pages and it's still my most favorite layout.
Wow! This is the best schoolie ever! Perfect title. I love the wood paint, the paisley art and the curtains. Keep the curtains!!! Fantastic job! Amazing use of space.
It was like the bus that never ends. Amazed at how much space/rooms in the bus
Wow! What a wonderful bus. I love the interior design & decorations! Well done indeed.
