I love the idea of using the pieces of lace. I would consider sewing little weights, like fishing weights so that the lace doesn’t blow off as easy while cooling.
In the event no fishing weights are around, you could also use washers for weights or jewelry findings that have a little heft to them where they wouldn't be easily blown. (The weight idea also helps the fabric not droop into the food container).
I was thinking the same thing, might even be able to find some clip on hooks--or maybe sew a piece of elastic or find a stretchy hair band to slip over it to hold it in place
I still use lace food covers that are edged with beads that my gran passed on to me! She was 97 when she passed away 18 years ago so they're pretty old. 👋🇬🇧
Lulu instead of the sponge I have a better idea. Get a small 2-4 inch plant planter and place sand on the bottom of the planter.Stick the incense in the middle of the sand and the ashes will fall down in planter. Or stick the sponge in the middle of the planter .
now that is a great idea!! maybe I'll stick a little planter in my van before I leave for FL and grab some sand off the beach there and give it a try. super idea!! 😊
Oh lord, 😂 I just about died laughing during that beeping incident and recovery. And I tell ya Lu- I really needed that it’s been a wicked week kid! So thanks and hope your noggin is AoK
Your butt honk had me cracking up 🤣🤣 The jewels in front of the patterned fridge cover kind of blend away and can't be seen. That's why I voted for the table. But it's your van to embellish and enjoy. 🙂
The purple bandana looks nice on the Berkey and picks up the purple in one of your guitar playing ladies in the cabinet behind your drivers seat. Looked nice to my eye.
Similar to you I had a wall behind my Berkie and I found that a piece of Velcro long enough to go around the top and bottom, making 2 straps, screwed to the wall was more than secure for traveling and wasn’t as difficult to use as a bungee. Also easy to adjust and didn’t mark or scratch the stainless steel.
Ms. LULU USE FOR CABENET- 3-BOLT3- NUT AND 10 WASHERS. 3 SCEWS 3 WASHERS, SCREWS FOR BOTTOM. 3 BOLTS TO CABINET 3 NUTS 6 WASHER. 2 WASHERS ON EACH SIDE. TOTEN DOWN. GOOD GOOD LUCK! HAVE A GREAT DAY.
For our Berkey I took a 2”x12”x3/4” board, cut a moon shape in the side the Berkey side, screwed the piece of wood to the side of the cabinet then attached Velcro on each end. Now the Berkey sits into this board like a cradle then wrap the Velcro from each side, around the front and the Berkey isn’t going anywhere. Plus it looks good.
My husband did something similar to our Berkey with cutting a hole in wood after a night time spill 😂😮…he took one large wooden crate and one small one cut holes the size of the Berkey top and bottom and bingo…sturdy and spill proof ❤
I really appreciate you telling us about the Alien tape, I have a word document where I'm writing my ideas down from my van build. It's a couple of years away still, but it's good so I don't forget. Alien tapes sounds awesome.
who knew? those are awesome! thanks for telling me about them. I'm going to try the pieces of lace but if anything about them does not work, I will most definitely turn to those umbrella food tents!! 😊
Your mind is constantly looking for something to make van life better, its working well...I enjoy your ideas...your van is awesome, your energy is contagious... Keep going and stay happy
For your cabinet door just buy light weight chain, make it the length you need, attach each end and it’ll self store inside when closed but hold the door when open.
Oh my God I laughed so hard when you honked that horn then you bumped your head. I started thinking just an idea 30 minutes of bloopers would be hilarious to be 30 minutes. I was just saying a bunch of bloopers lol😂
The van updates are coming along great. Your ideas are working. I like all of the changes you made and do see now they are going to be more convenient for you. That is certainly important. Good job!
That a Great Idea with a cover for your Food and it's not Metal,you can wash it ,fold ,put it Away Awesome! Lulu you are Great for New in Genius Ideas! 👍✌️🤞🙌🙏🇺🇸🌞🌻✨💫⭐🤩✝️💟💜💯🌟🎩
That jeweled trim piece is so pretty that it would be nice to place it where it could really be admired, a focal piece! That may be why people suggested placement on the table. Perhaps you'll like it enough eventually to place it someplace where it can really stand out! I know I love Alien Tape too! A heat gun is also one of my favorite DIY tools!🤗
yeah know something, I think the reason I like it on the bed instead of the table is because I didn't want it stand out. I like how it glimmers but it's subtle because it blends. I think that's what my eye likes.!
Hi Lulu, Your like a lady Mcguyver 😂 Lots of good idea’s. I also bought some alien tape to hang some pictures because I didn’t want to put a bunch of holes in my walls. Works great! Have a good night Your pal, Susie
I would have loved to seen the crystal strip somehow made into a pseudo chandelier hanging from the ceiling, perhaps surrounding a light. It would be so sparkly but I also realize it might hang too low to be practical.
Found some black hooks on Amazon that should be perfect,they match the ones you already have. I just looked up hooks for wire racks. Love all your ideas. So great. P.s. also thought the beads looked better on the bed frame.👍👍👍
the ceiling tin is a perfect fit and it looks beautiful behind your seat lulu! great find. and yaaaay!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼i love your crystals and where you placed them! more beauty! especially when you enter your van. or when they catch your eye in a glance. fyi: fresh coffee grinds in a cotton sock prevents mold and smell in any unused refrigerators. i have had the same problem with my incense sticks too. i also trimmed the ends of the sticks so the ashes stick their landing better. love your berkey bandana idea it looks fabulous. all your ideas today have been great and well executed. look at all you did to make your life better on the road. way to go lulu! and man, that alien tape is really waaay cool! continued travel mercies and blessing.🕊
Great fixes, love the way you are going to fix the Berkeley and the scarfs for covering the binge. Going to talk to my husband about doing the same thing with ours. Our bed is now made and working on storage at the head of our bed which will double as a night stand as well. The weights of some king is a great idea to keep it covered and flys out. I was thinking about some type of shower cap or hair net but I like the lace better. Great idea!
Hello Lady LuLu.. I've been down for the count with some kinda "Mystery Virus" for 2 months & counting.. I truly Luv what you've been doing with the "Traveling Cottage".. And I've always found special places with those Tin pieces.. Keep on tweaking the"Traveling Cottage" it looks Fabulous...
Think cheese cloth large rubber band food grade washable easy peasy . Lu Lu this is my first comment ever on any of my u tube people i watch 8 yrs now. Just had too mention this about cheese cloth.Love watching you are so uplifting and joyful. Safe travels
Love your Bandana id3a💟Also with your cute out for Berky,you could make hinges of the cute off& make a fold down little Table at the end of Berky table!👍✌️🤞🙌🙏🇺🇸🤩✝️💜💯💫⭐
Well look at that! The beads look great right there and I'm glad it worked. Was one of those that was afraid they would get in the way of the fridge but it worked! And yeah seeing those every time you open the door will be sweet. The lace idea is genius! Look at you running a drill, good job. Be careful, the Container Store can be addictive.
use rubber band or ribbion or thin twine to fasten the screening to the top incase you in a windy place to cool off your food. you can sew button on the ends to weight down the ends find old one don't cost anything
Love all the updates you made and I love you crystals on the side of the bed it’s perfect. I live in Western mass and it rained all day and is freezing here so you’re lucky you had a little bit warmer day with no rain today to do all your fixing up.😅😅
yes, a few offered that suggestion, but I'll go with the lace and see how that goes. I think the cheese cloth will be too tight knit and I want steam to escape well!! 😊
Congratulations on 25K subscribers--woohoo! Delighted with the new and improved Berkey bungee, but love, love, love your ‘Campers of the Sisterhood’ purple bandana on you Berkey-and it serves as a great memory. Re the bracket for your kitchen, you could move the bracket back so it’s between the kitchen and the Berkey stand so you can just use one bolt/nut set, then you could have the nut on the Berkey side since you have more room to play with as opposed to the bin side. Laughed when you mentioned the bear spray, but remember, you can run into all sorts of bears in your travels so it's good to have close by.
When the lace gets wet from the steam of the hot food it may sag into the food, causing you to have to wash it a lot. I am going to buy some Alien Tape ASAP. You should get royalties. HaHa. Love your videos, women are capable of all sorts of innovations.

In the event no fishing weights are around, you could also use washers for weights or jewelry findings that have a little heft to them where they wouldn't be easily blown. (The weight idea also helps the fabric not droop into the food container).
Fishing weights are usually made from lead and again are not food safe.
I was thinking the same thing, might even be able to find some clip on hooks--or maybe sew a piece of elastic or find a stretchy hair band to slip over it to hold it in place
Your van is darling, so country chic!

hi Eileen! glad you enjoyed the video!! hope your week gets better!! Lulu 😊
A piece of cheesecloth would work too
A space for everything keeps everything in it's place; important in small spaces.
I love The Container Store.
Container store is “Danger, Danger just warning your pocketbook. I loved what you did today. Thanks
I will be careful there!! lol
Your butt honk had me cracking up 🤣🤣 The jewels in front of the patterned fridge cover kind of blend away and can't be seen. That's why I voted for the table. But it's your van to embellish and enjoy. 🙂
I think what my eye likes is that it does sort of blend, it's more subtle and less flashy.
@@LulusWay64 Then it's definitely in the perfect spot. 🙂
It's looking so whimsical. I love it.
The scarf on the Berkey is genius!
Hey!!!! I'm the cousin she's seeing this week! YAY.
Deb!!! YAY, can't wait to see you!! love you! xxoo
The purple bandana looks nice on the Berkey and picks up the purple in one of your guitar playing ladies in the cabinet behind your drivers seat. Looked nice to my eye.
I love every little tweak that you came up with. Many of which I will be using myself now. Thank you. Thumbs up and so much love from S. California.
Bravo Lulu! You are really entertaining and joyful! Bravo for you great practical decorations! It all looks really pleasant!

Perfect fit that was meant to be. Looks fabulous! Like butter
haha!! like buttah!!
I really appreciate you telling us about the Alien tape, I have a word document where I'm writing my ideas down from my van build. It's a couple of years away still, but it's good so I don't forget. Alien tapes sounds awesome.
Is there another place besides Amazon where I can buy alien tape? I don't do Amazon!
I think Lowes and Home Depot carry it!!!
Loved the wire. Basket feel it just fit better
Love the bandana !! The purple is great and it's a memory .
Sunny Florida is still sunny and beautiful, but right now we’re going through a chill… unusual for us that probably warm for you
I spent last winter in Florida so I know about those chilly days. I'll be prepared! 🌴
Hi LuLu!! Amazon sells food tents that fold down like an umbrella.
who knew? those are awesome! thanks for telling me about them. I'm going to try the pieces of lace but if anything about them does not work, I will most definitely turn to those umbrella food tents!! 😊
Yes, crystals don’t match the cabinet picture. That bright purple doesn’t flow color wise. Bunnies are less obtrusive.
Since it’s in a moving vehicle, be sure to use lock nots.
Your mind is constantly looking for something to make van life better, its working well...I enjoy your ideas...your van is awesome, your energy is contagious... Keep going and stay happy
For your cabinet door just buy light weight chain, make it the length you need, attach each end and it’ll self store inside when closed but hold the door when open.
Nice fixes, love your little van.

That's a great idea!
Wow never knew about this Allen Tape! Great Wounders👍✨
Every thing looks so good, nice and pleasant to the eyes!

Have a good night
Your pal, Susie
hey Susie!! ya gotta love the alien tape! who knew? 🤣
I liked it better on the bed also, the chandelier strip
the "chandelier strip" . . . I LIKE THAT!!! 😊
I like the beads on the frig too! Great choice!
Love your van changes, perfect. Safe travels.
The scarf looks great as a great reminder of your good times. If you change it out for something different, find a new place for your bandana.
I would have loved to seen the crystal strip somehow made into a pseudo chandelier hanging from the ceiling, perhaps surrounding a light. It would be so sparkly but I also realize it might hang too low to be practical.
now THAT sounds adorable!! but, like you say, not very practical. there is barely room at the ceiling for my hair when it starts to grow!! lol
I agree with you putting the dangly thing on the bed....looks really nice there 😊
Lady you are soooo clever!!
You have a very innovative mind…..love your simple and smart ideas and solutions.
you are going to love the container store
Found some black hooks on Amazon that should be perfect,they match the ones you already have. I just looked up hooks for wire racks. Love all your ideas. So great. P.s. also thought the beads looked better on the bed frame.👍👍👍
Love the tweaks.
The thing I love about you van is nothing is boring or bland there's so much to see and look at so many beautiful things for your eyes to enjoy❤❤❤❤
I suggested the hooks hope you can find the prefect lenght❤❤❤❤
oh, it was YOU that suggested those hooks. gosh, if only they were a little shorter!!! thank you so much for telling me about those!!
*****How about using a cheese cloth over your food to cool. That way nats can’t get in either. Your lace they can get through
Great idea!
Lulu, your way is amazing!
the ceiling tin is a perfect fit and it looks beautiful behind your seat lulu! great find. and yaaaay!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼i love your crystals and where you placed them! more beauty! especially when you enter your van. or when they catch your eye in a glance. fyi: fresh coffee grinds in a cotton sock prevents mold and smell in any unused refrigerators. i have had the same problem with my incense sticks too. i also trimmed the ends of the sticks so the ashes stick their landing better. love your berkey bandana idea it looks fabulous. all your ideas today have been great and well executed. look at all you did to make your life better on the road. way to go lulu! and man, that alien tape is really waaay cool! continued travel mercies and blessing.🕊

Hello Lady LuLu..
I've been down for the count with some kinda "Mystery Virus" for 2 months & counting.. I truly Luv what you've been doing with the "Traveling Cottage"..
And I've always found special places with those Tin pieces..
Keep on tweaking the"Traveling Cottage" it looks Fabulous...
❤ Good Evening Lulu🌄🌆 Love the Pattern on your Backsplash! Nice,fits Perfect, Awesome! And this is Easy to Clean,just wipes down 👍✨💫✌️🤞🙌🙏🇺🇸🌞🤩🌻
That Fringe Idea is Awesome and very attractive! Beautiful ❤️💫⭐🤩
Think cheese cloth large rubber band food grade washable easy peasy . Lu Lu this is my first comment ever on any of my u tube people i watch 8 yrs now. Just had too mention this about cheese cloth.Love watching you are so uplifting and joyful. Safe travels
hello Annmarie! thanks so much for the suggestion! I appreciate you writing!! Lulu 😊
They also have plastic lace made for shelf liner.
Your Home away from Home is wonderful
Your a lady of my heart
maybe that wire basket you took down could be used for fruit and hung on your back door with those strong magnetic hooks you have.
Love the beads. I think that they would also look great on your headboard 😊
that would look nice but would probably be very noisy!!! 😊
I like it so much as fringe on the bed. Looks beautiful!!!❤❤
thanks!! me too!! it's more subtle there!
Yay for Bob! I'm so glad he is such a great help to you! Love all your changes.
You can buy bolts that have a round head, and they would not restrict the movement of your bin at all
Love it on the bed too!
If the hooks dont work maybe you can find a flat metal and bend it into the shspe you need❤❤❤❤
You could use some lace to decorate your Birkey and stick some googly eyes or sleepy eyes on it
I used a long Velcro strap for my Berkey. It’s rock solid.
I agree, it looks better on the bed frame. FANCY!
Love your Bandana id3a💟Also with your cute out for Berky,you could make hinges of the cute off& make a fold down little Table at the end of Berky table!👍✌️🤞🙌🙏🇺🇸🤩✝️💜💯💫⭐

Because of you, Lulu, I am I big fan of Alien tape! All of your tweaks have turned out perfectly. So glad you shared as you did them.
The tin…I love it!! I am with you on that Alien tape. Good stuff. You are so organized and in a small space that is good.
Hugs
use rubber band or ribbion or thin twine to fasten the screening to the top incase you in a windy place to cool off your food. you can sew button on the ends to weight down the ends find old one don't cost anything
Sunday night van updates. That was so much fun.
Bless you.
Burkey vandana sure pretty and unique.😊love all your updates Miss Lulu thanks for sharing.
Now you need green on the fridge.
I spent some time in my camper titavating things today, I also hung some fairy lights for ambiance
nice!! 😊
There are lock washers and lock nuts. The lock nuts have a plastic or vinyl inside to grip the threads of the bolts.
yes, you are right!! we know they are lock washers but turns out we called them lock nuts the whole video!! LOL we're a couple of nuts!!
@@LulusWay64 Fun nuts!! 😊
You could use a old leather belt to go around your berkey
Some rubber matting we use in drawers/cupboards might help stop any rattles in your plastic organiser, love and peace from Australia as always Lulu 🦘😘
great suggestion, I ordered a roll!! thanks!! 😊
Love all the updates you made and I love you crystals on the side of the bed it’s perfect. I live in Western mass and it rained all day and is freezing here so you’re lucky you had a little bit warmer day with no rain today to do all your fixing up.😅😅
You can use cheese cloth to cover food containers
Love the burkie bandana
You amaze me. Wish I could travel with you....I wish you the very best in health and finances...May God protect you...
I just love you LuLu. You know what works for you. Each future trip may show something else. Such great ideas ❤
yes, I expect to always be making changes with each long trip I take, there is always room for improvement!! ❤️
❤ Lulu you are a Jill of all Trades! Awesome, Amazing 🤩👍✌️🤞🙌🙏🇺🇸✝️💜💯💫⭐🌻Love to watch your Adventures 😉
i like the metal backing for your cabinet but afraid it’s going to absorb heat or make bothersome reflections while driving.
I was also thinking about the reflection 🤔
I'm not concerned at all. if there is anything about them that is bothersome, I'll deal with it then.
@@LulusWay64 is it actually metal? I thought it was plastic.
yes, it's just plastic and it's has like a antique look to it. it doesn't shine, it doesn't matter. it's all good!!!
Ok awesome. It looks fantastic and so you!!!!! Goes perfectly with your low key color scheme for the front if your van.
Look for "S" hooks. I'm sure they come in several lengths.
I found some hooks that I'm going to try, from Amazon, they are on their way!!
Hi Lulu hope you are having a good day today 😂.
Creative Ideas!
You could also use cheese cloth to deter flies.
yes, a few offered that suggestion, but I'll go with the lace and see how that goes. I think the cheese cloth will be too tight knit and I want steam to escape well!! 😊
Fun fun watching you.
I've had that Alien tape in my Amazon cart for some time! Thanks for showing how well it works!
Bobs idea for the Berkey great your braces on blue cabinet nice I hope the hooks work❤❤❤❤

When the lace gets wet from the steam of the hot food it may sag into the food, causing you to have to wash it a lot. I am going to buy some Alien Tape ASAP. You should get royalties. HaHa. Love your videos, women are capable of all sorts of innovations.

I use a deep saucer plate/bowl with inch or more SAND insert stick, sand in bowl catches ALL ASH
great tip!! 😊
I have done tbe lap of Australia missing travelling but am saving up to get a van and join the nobting life in the future
