Lulu, love your floor plan, color pallet and fabric. You've got it going on! Paisley is my favorite print. Some things to consider: raise your Berkey on a block to make it easier to use the spigot. Paint your ceiling ribs blue. Magnets will work through the paint. Round off the head of the bed inside corner. You'll be less likely to nick your shin on it. Google contour gauge. It's a great construction tool for making templates in irregular spaces. There are videos online that show how to diy one with cardboard and wooden skewers. We are all rooting for you, Lulu. Your excitement is infectious. - Judi
Hello Miss Lulu. The material you picked for your van is lovely, very calming and peaceful colors! Went to the doctor today; I've lost 9 pounds in 4 weeks! But who's counting... I am! 😉👍Thanks for being an uplifting and inspiring person.
Your ideas and fixings are so great 👍👍👍. I love all of it. Yes, pallets are so good to use. I have used them in so many things. I am happy we got to see your exciting build. Thank you. So Cool!!
Suggestion; in case you aren’t already planning this; wait for a couple of sunny days, lay plastic down, preferably outside on the lawn, put everything that needs painted on the plastic and use a spray gun. Hopefully your paint will dry fast and you can get a second coat on. 2nd suggestion, use just 2 of the colors for the built and the other 2 for the bedding, pillows etc. I find myself wanting to switch up my duvet and it helps that there are only a couple of permanent colors going on to match with. It’s exciting and fun, enjoy! Btw because of you I am listening to WD, eating better & using Sarvaa! 😂 You are an influencer! But mainly you inspire others which is great 👍
thanks for your note and your suggestions, appreciate it!! so happy to hear you are taking good care of yourself!! I'm glad you are here! stay inspired!! Lulu
Lulu I love it (the plan) and I love the drape material and all the colors. Hint: add a thin piece of plywood to each of the basket fronts with mixed colors of paint you have chosen and that will tie it all together. Make a cushion for the cooler our of drapery material, with a seperate skirt. It will look like a mini sofa, . Bamb!! it will pop!!! Mix it up girlfriend and make it special and colorfull, cheerfull and fun. Do it Lulu's Way!!!
I'm a very picky person. I gotta say, I love, love what you're going to do. The ceiling fabric is to die for. Love your planned lzyout. EVERYTHING. You rock. And it's wonderful to see you so happy with it.
@@LulusWay64 YAY! And thank you for sharing with us your exciting van rebuild. The fabric you chose is sooo lovely. Save some of it for a pillow case or something else in the van. The paint colours are also very pretty and combinable.
I just wanted to say what an inspiration you are! I have been feeling hesitant and uncreative to take my camper van back out on the road this summer. Your excitement and your joy is absolutely intoxicating! Thank you so much for being you!
That black & white tile floor looks absolutely beautiful!!!! What a good choice!!!!! You are just full of ideas for this van, you make it so exciting. Having lots of fun just watching you so excited about your build. Thanks for sharing with us! XXXOOO Judie
Boy taking that passenger seat out really does open up a lot of options for a layout!! I love the serendipity of those cabinets you got and your trays fitting so well
Wow, Lulu, magnífico. Seeing ya, hearing ya, makes it all so wonderful. Love how you can fit so much in its proper place, convenient so much ease and comfort.
For your samples, I like to go to michaels and buy some canvas art boards (8x10 or smaller). Paint each one with your sample colors. I find these are easier to visualize rather than the smaller paint sample cards you have. I then take them with me to the stores where I buy decorations for my room. I love, love your idea how you choose multiple colors for your decorating scheme.
Lulu, I love the paisley fabric. I kept wondering where is the bed going to be, what a great plan I love it. Can't wait to see the finished project. Linda
Love all your charming wooden boxes & storage pieces you found. Excited to see it all put together in living color. It's really great the way you've taken us along on the process, we've learned and shared in the excitement. Thanks Lulu❣
You have given great thought to your new build and it sounds like the perfect plan. All positive thoughts coming your way for seat removal. I think the paisley fabric for the ceiling and paint colors will be lovely. Love your videos, I started watching about a month ago and paced myself to watch each of them. Now I have to wait until the next Lulu video comes out.
I like the the way the stripped texture of the draws mimic the small cabinets above. It marries very well. Great idea on the water filter placement. Just put a little something between the wood and Berkey so it doesn’t get scratched up - but I’m sure you thought of that Already. Paint your ribs to match your fabric!! I can feel your stokness… lol I’m so excited for you Karen from Florida 🌴💕
Your idea for your new bed location is super intriguing! If you decide to build a lightweight cover over your feet (so you can store stuff on top when you are sleeping) you might consider making the "topper" out of (reinforced) foam insulation. I've used the 1/2 inch rigid pink foam sheets for my van walls. The pink foam can be cut with an exacto blade, hot wire/soldering iron, hacksaw blade, jig saw, etc. Rigid pink foam is cheaper, lighter and easier to cut than 1/2" ply and you can reinforce it by painting it, decoupaging, gluing fabric or sandwiching between 1/4" ply (or thinner) or plastic coro board. For my walls, I sandwiched the rigid pink foam between 1/4" luan, sealed with latex paint, and then "upholstered" the facing side with fabric or auto carpet. Be sure not to block your vents under the glove box! Rock on, rockstah!
I watch your newest videos as you post them but, I'm still catching up with your older videos. In this video your excitement is just pouring out of you, fantastic!!
I love your ideas and colors. Especially paisley is my favorite material. But all I could think about in my sleep was not to put peel & stick tile on the counter top. You might need to sit a hot pan or lid down and it will melt. Just stain and apply mineral oil or butcher block finish. Maybe add strip of molding on edge to cover plywood layers. No poly or varnish either. Still use separate cutting board. Keep having fun and sharing. Take care!!! p.s. I have also used flashing for back splash and tops. It comes in different widths and copper or silver color.
For your cabinets you could put either string or chain on the inside on both sides so when you open them it will provide support for the doors/hinges. Everything is looking fantastic and love the color choices and the fabric. You could also poke holes in the corrugated plastic/fabric and put tiny lights through so it looks like stars! ❤😊
You could add insulation behind the cabinets. It will cut out a lot of the road noise you heard in Florida. Also, a flip up table from the top of your cubbie cabinet. I sure hope you intend to strap the cooler while driving. So far it looks great.
Another enjoyable vlog, it makes me happy to see how excited you are about your build. The Berkey filter solution is fantastic. Love your "ceiling curtains"
Thanks for sharing your Van Plan ! I can't wait to see the progress. I have been taking day trips and every time I realize something else I could do better or different. This is such a fun process ! I am so glad I found your channel in February, You are the reason I am making my dream come true !! thank you Pam
I just found you Lulu & I’m inspired. I travel among 3 states managing my rentals. Been dreaming about a few cross country road trips for several years and the stars are about to align. THANK YOU for sharing. And feel free to reach out if you are ever in Atlanta GA, Jacksonville FL or Rising Sun, IN. 🙏
yes!! vanbuilds are a never-ending process, always tweaking something or changing out something or updating something or fixing something . . . it's half the fun!! ENJOY!!
Half the fun is in the planning and the other half in the hands-on construction (sprinkled with a few challenges 😅 ) and then LIFT-OFF !....onward ho !!! And you will have a van full ! of us, your friends along for the adventures ! Soooo thankful to have "met"you here and looking forward to a great time....happy and smiling with lots of laughter ! Big ❤ hug ! Learning soooo much from you ! TY !
Wow you almost got my three favorite colors , creamy grey, ocean blue and coral. Three colors work for me and then I feel like I’m at the beach . Another interesting video. Keep them coming .
Brilliant design and decor ideas! I wouldn't change a thing. One suggestion for the shallow storage on the driver's side above the new cabinets is to find or buy a shallow multi-section shadowbox. You could replace the glass with a plexiglass panel so that you can still easily see what is inside. I can't wait to see it all come together!
I awoke from a nightmare..It was lingering and I felt depressed..Happens often due to a home invasion..I tuned to your channel..Instant relief..You're the Best..
Maybe live with the space for a couple of weeks before the thought of narrow shelving above the wheel well in the back. Love the idea of two seating options - cooler and bed.
Hi Lulu, WOW, what great ideas you have for your promaster city camper. I love the colors you chose and I can't wait to see it complete. Looking forward to the next episode! 👍 ♥😊
I love the paisley sky fabric ceiling. I do the same thing pink paint colors, I did my whole house in a Sherwin Wiliams Nuturer brochure for my colors. Also I like the new location for the bed. It should work much better.
It’s just pure enjoyment watching you put this van together. 😘 I do have to wonder why you just don’t buy a 12 V refrigerator and slide it under your bed. It would sure save you a lot of time swapping out the ice. 😳
the size 12V fridge I would need would be bigger than my cooler if it was going to fit everything I need. this way, I have a tiny 9 qt. 12V fridge under the bed, just big enough to keep my ice supply. this has been working for me, even in my minivan build I had!!
I’ve said this, but I love your channel. You make me laugh and smile. I love the unique plan for your build! So well thought out. I’m really looking forward to seeing it come together. 😀
Maybe for the last wall fabric with push pins or a small peg board could work. I love the paisley sky fabric. I always say my style is hippie chic so that is a very cool choice. You rock! That's my two cents! So fun. L,f.
But if I did use poster board that way, I think after I had them cut to fit and painted, I would then cover them, front and back with clear "Contact" to insure more stability and make them easier to keep clean.
Lulu I like the plans of the new build. Suggesting I think maybe consider hang pictures or a painting on the wall that right across from your kitchen area. Also I do like tour colors, I can't wait to see how the green will blend. The Idea about the bed Ingenious.
Love the idea of the bed up front by the windows for fresh air at night. The colors look great and can't wait to see everything together. Loving the planning out of the build. 😀
I almost thought you were going to put a Murphy bed style across from your cabinets. I’m thinking of that when I get my van Karen from Florida 🌴💕 Yep it’s me again !!!! Lol
Love the fabric and color choices Lulu so soft and beautiful!!!! Never knew you could buy paint samples thanks for this tip and I love where your bed is going and all that storage!
Love all the space you will have as well as storage. The idea of the bed in the space utilizing the front passenger area is really fantastic. Have you ever thought about having a bed that folds in half that converts to a seating area? I don’t know if you’ve ever seen or heard of Lady Bug Out, but she has a bed she built herself that is her bed at night and it converts to a very nice seating lounging area during the day. Her mattrace is a cushion that folds into the conversion so it serves two purposes. Pretty cool. Love your plan and all the open space you’ll have.
Hi Lulu, everything’s looking good got some good ideas going on. I have a suggestion the little cabinets that you’re putting on your countertop if it were me instead of having them open down work, have them open upward
hi Judy! I thought of that, but then I would have to hold them up while accessing them. this way, they can open and they just hang there and wait for me to shut them!!
Brilliant layout with the bed forward! It will make the van so spacious. A big thick square floor pillow could be used against the cabinet when reading in bed, or on the floor when eating and using your cooler as a table on a rainy day. The ceiling will be heavenly.
I’m so impressed with your design plan. I can’t wait to see the finished product. It all sounds so complicated but I know you’re driven to get it done. Your energy is contagious, go Lulu❤
I love the fabric reminds me of my school days when I was young. That makes me feel happy lol I had a couple of pasely mini dresses I loved back then. And your colors choices are fabulous. Thanks LuLu for sharing with us your so inspiring ♥️♥️
Hey Lulu. Just a thought (I'm gettin' so involved in this build😊): won't the Berkey tap end up a bit low if you sink it into the end cubby? How about extending the work surface to the end of the van and then cut your circle, but not a complete circle, out if this. Leave a gap for the tap at the front, the Berkey will be sitting where it is at the moment, and the "almost" cutout circle will hold it in place.
First I love your chamo shirt the only thing I'd do diffendely is I'd get a cheap throw rug put it under the cololerr so sliding the cooler back and forth may leave scratch marks on your floor the rug will keep the floor protected ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is a master plan! I’m so excited for you. The fabric is absolutely stunning - I had to order them, for my studio. Also, you look great in your jeans and tee. Thank you for sharing your journey.
6:35pm - Hi Lulu, I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks now. You have encouraged me and my husband to try the van life. 😊 We’ve always said we would get an RV close to retirement, but I want us to try the van life first. Always looking forward to your videos. 😊
Love it all! The colors are perfectly you, the functional floorplan, the extra floor space & close to the drivers seat if u need to wake up & go quickly.
I think I would custom fit the top sheet and spread at the foot also to make it easier to "make" the bed in the mornings and keep it neat and out of the way all day. Then use pretty storage boxes underneath. One lady used poster board of selected colors inside the front of plastic drawers to fill out her color scheme.
So excited for you! It's a great design and will look fantastic 👌 Love the fabric it'll be a wonderful addition. Coming back with a thought for the doors on the cupboard your friend is making. What about sliding doors instead of hinged doors that might need more space to open.
I love that paisley material. How about sewing together accessories with that same material? eg... pillow case, curtain separation for the front etc. Just brain storming. Thank you for sharing. Till next time.💙💚❤🧡
Great pallets! I wanted to try that and got the same response, very cool that your friend is up for it. Since it’s actually a minimum build van that works great. Love the colors and design, can’t wait to see the finished van! Nice work 😊
thanks Wynsleydale! I am thinking about the time it will take to build from pallets but he really wants to do it, I think he wants that creative opportunity, and he's a good friend, friends for over 40 years!! Lulu
Hey Lulu Im with you, No Bungies!😊 I have an idea. Those two drawers that came from the coffee table....you can screw those from the inside to the cabinet it sits on.
@@LulusWay64 you could attach drawer rails to them so that they slide like proper drawers. I'm sure Bob could do that in just a few minutes. Not that you couldn't do it yourself, you're great at problem solving.

hello Judi! thanks for your note and all your suggestions! I appreciate it!! Lulu
I would change the piece of wood in the middle of the stained cabinet to go from side to side to make a shield going cross ways.
O wow! 💞 the fabric 💖
Love! Love! Love!

hey sissy!! great ideas thanks!
It's going to be so awesome. I think some red would go great with the floor. Your Promaster City will be a beauty, next you will have to name her!!!❤

I saw that sneaky smile that came on your face when you said - when the seat comes out.. shows you how important it is for you
haha!! yes, it's very important, almost too important. if he doesn't come through for me, I'm sorta screwed!! but I'll figure it out!!
I love the paisley ceiling material. It's going to look GREAT!
I am as excited as you are regarding your build. Love your videos. Keep up the great work. 😊

As usual........great ideas. Love your material for your ceiling. Can't wait to see the finished product!!!
I always pick red and blue and gray. Love you using found objects for the build. Thanks for sharing
Love all your charming wooden boxes & storage pieces you found. Excited to see it all put together in living color. It's really great the way you've taken us along on the process, we've learned and shared in the excitement. Thanks Lulu❣

thanks so much, Debbie!!
Good Morning! Lulu you've got it going 👍✌️ Right on!✌️👍👌🤞🙏🙌🇺🇸❤️
hey Toby!! THANKS!! YAY!!!
Removing the passenger seat is a brilliant idea! Such a clever use of space
it really is a game-changer, gave me so much more space to work with in this teeny tiny van!!! 😊
I just camp in my van but if I was going to live in my van. The front seat would be the first thing I would take out. I love your plan!
Brilliant design and decor ideas! I wouldn't change a thing. One suggestion for the shallow storage on the driver's side above the new cabinets is to find or buy a shallow multi-section shadowbox.

Love it! I would have picked the same except I would use a cream instead of the blue card. Can't wait to see how it all comes together! ❤
Sounds perfect Lulu .. can’t wait to see it all done 😊
Lulu I like the plans of the new build. Suggesting I think maybe consider hang pictures or a painting on the wall that right across from your kitchen area. Also I do like tour colors, I can't wait to see how the green will blend. The Idea about the bed Ingenious.
hi Samantha! thanks for the ideas!! appreciate it!! Lulu
Love the idea of the bed up front by the windows for fresh air at night. The colors look great and can't wait to see everything together. Loving the planning out of the build. 😀
thanks Chuck!! I'm glad you are here and enjoying the build!! Lulu
Ooooo I LOVE the paisley!! That's my favorite also! I like to get different color bandanas to use for a really eclectic look😊
hi Melody!! thanks for your note!! decorating with bandanas is such a fun idea!!! Lulu
I almost thought you were going to put a Murphy bed style across from your cabinets. I’m thinking of that when I get my van
Karen from Florida 🌴💕
Yep it’s me again !!!! Lol
Love the fabric and color choices Lulu so soft and beautiful!!!! Never knew you could buy paint samples thanks for this tip and I love where your bed is going and all that storage!
😳 Wow I love it so well thought out and the color scheme is great, Your mini mansion on wheels.. can’t wait to see it complete! Lulu you are amazing 🤩
thanks for your nice note, Anna!! I appreciate it! Lulu
Love the paisley curtain, beautiful ❤️😊
Love all the space you will have as well as storage. The idea of the bed in the space utilizing the front passenger area is really fantastic. Have you ever thought about having a bed that folds in half that converts to a seating area? I don’t know if you’ve ever seen or heard of Lady Bug Out, but she has a bed she built herself that is her bed at night and it converts to a very nice seating lounging area during the day. Her mattrace is a cushion that folds into the conversion so it serves two purposes. Pretty cool. Love your plan and all the open space you’ll have.
hi Polar!! yes, I have seen Lady Bug Out's bed, it's a fabulous idea, but not for me!! but it is very cool!! thanks!! Lulu
@@LulusWay64 That what I love about you Lulu… “Take what you like, and leave the rest.”
Hi Lulu, everything’s looking good got some good ideas going on. I have a suggestion the little cabinets that you’re putting on your countertop if it were me instead of having them open down work, have them open upward
hi Judy! I thought of that, but then I would have to hold them up while accessing them. this way, they can open and they just hang there and wait for me to shut them!!
Your colors remind me of the different colors of the earth and sky. Love them!
Brilliant layout with the bed forward! It will make the van so spacious.
A big thick square floor pillow could be used against the cabinet when reading in bed, or on the floor when eating and using your cooler as a table on a rainy day.
The ceiling will be heavenly.
hi Bee!! thanks for your enthusiasm and for the suggestion!! appreciate it! Lulu
I love the colors in your top and the plants behind you. The paisley colors go in the fabric goes right along.
thanks Patricia!
I’m so impressed with your design plan. I can’t wait to see the finished product. It all sounds so complicated but I know you’re driven to get it done. Your energy is contagious, go Lulu❤
thanks Shirley!! I'm sure excited and it will be so fun to have it all come together and then hit the road again!! Lulu
I love the fabric reminds me of my school days when I was young. That makes me feel happy lol I had a couple of pasely mini dresses I loved back then. And your colors choices are fabulous. Thanks LuLu for sharing with us your so inspiring ♥️♥️
thanks Constance! stay inspired! Lulu
I love the paisley beautiful how fun for you and I love your four colors you picked gorgeous
Hey Lulu. Just a thought (I'm gettin' so involved in this build😊): won't the Berkey tap end up a bit low if you sink it into the end cubby? How about extending the work surface to the end of the van and then cut your circle, but not a complete circle, out if this. Leave a gap for the tap at the front, the Berkey will be sitting where it is at the moment, and the "almost" cutout circle will hold it in place.
thanks for the suggestion!! when we get to that part, we'll fine-tune it with all the suggestions here! THANKS!!
First I love your chamo shirt the only thing I'd do diffendely is I'd get a cheap throw rug put it under the cololerr so sliding the cooler back and forth may leave scratch marks on your floor the rug will keep the floor protected ❤️❤️❤️❤️
thanks for the idea, Lisa! I was thinking about attaching a sheet of felt under the fridge for easy sliding!!
Love it. Very creative and functional. Looking forward to watching it come together.
This is a master plan! I’m so excited for you. The fabric is absolutely stunning - I had to order them, for my studio. Also, you look great in your jeans and tee. Thank you for sharing your journey.
thanks Dana!!
6:35pm - Hi Lulu, I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks now. You have encouraged me and my husband to try the van life. 😊 We’ve always said we would get an RV close to retirement, but I want us to try the van life first. Always looking forward to your videos. 😊
hello! you and hubs enjoy the planning!! it's fun!!! Lulu
Lulu! Sorry, stupid autocorrect!
Love it all! The colors are perfectly you, the functional floorplan, the extra floor space & close to the drivers seat if u need to wake up & go quickly.
thanks Georgia!!
Love it love it love it!!! It’s looking so good, the design and floor works .
I think I would custom fit the top sheet and spread at the foot also to make it easier to "make" the bed in the mornings and keep it neat and out of the way all day. Then use pretty storage boxes underneath. One lady used poster board of selected colors inside the front of plastic drawers to fill out her color scheme.
thanks for the suggestions!!
I can't wait to see the finished product. I'm excited for you.
enjoy the videos leading up to the finished product!! it was quite a fun process and I love all the results!! 😊
So excited for you! It's a great design and will look fantastic 👌 Love the fabric it'll be a wonderful addition.
Coming back with a thought for the doors on the cupboard your friend is making. What about sliding doors instead of hinged doors that might need more space to open.
Sliding doors. Great idea!
great idea, thanks for the suggestion!
Lulu in your element❤
I love that paisley material. How about sewing together accessories with that same material? eg... pillow case, curtain separation for the front etc. Just brain storming. Thank you for sharing. Till next time.💙💚❤🧡
thanks for the ideas!! if there is fabric leftover, I will likely consider using it in the van!! :)
Great pallets! I wanted to try that and got the same response, very cool that your friend is up for it. Since it’s actually a minimum build van that works great. Love the colors and design, can’t wait to see the finished van! Nice work 😊
thanks Wynsleydale! I am thinking about the time it will take to build from pallets but he really wants to do it, I think he wants that creative opportunity, and he's a good friend, friends for over 40 years!! Lulu
Hey Lulu
Im with you, No Bungies!😊 I have an idea. Those two drawers that came from the coffee table....you can screw those from the inside to the cabinet it sits on.
hello Fran!! I'm not sure I understand what you are suggesting. they need to slide in and out, like drawers, from under the countertop. thanks.
@@LulusWay64 you could attach drawer rails to them so that they slide like proper drawers. I'm sure Bob could do that in just a few minutes. Not that you couldn't do it yourself, you're great at problem solving.
@@LulusWay64 Oh, Dang!🙂I forgot you said that.
❤Just awesome, Lulu! It's gonna be your way. I know how excited you must be and I am so happy for you.
thanks Shelia!!
Love the colors you chose 👍 Love your energy 🤗
