Thank you Patrick for hosting me again. :)
Any time! You are the best.
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures :)
Deservedly so! It’s beautiful!
Hey there. Love your home!
The water tank you showed, is there a link for that? Thanks in advance. Your hands work magic! I still am so impressed with your craftsmanship
@@margreetanceaux3906thank you
I've watched hundreds of van builds and tiny house builds on youtube. This has to be the most detailed and thought out one ever! Great job! Really utilises the space perfectly.
Wow, thank you!
Yeah I don't usually like the Murphy beds but this one is great. It doesn't look as cumbersome to fold down as others I've seen and it doesn't totally overwhelm the space.
Stunning. Amazing work
@@sandrashane677 Thank you ❤
This comment is on every van build video 😂 in this case though.. I think I agree
Left eye is such a sweet rescue- she loves to be near her new daddy
Yes she does
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures I'm mother to 2 cats. I'm so glad to see your cat is outside, happy, not chained to the van. Thankyou for being a loving ❤️ parent. Other van lifers 2 in particular keep their cats locked 🔒 up all the time. Breaks my heart.
I think you mean pet to your two cats. We are their pets, lol. They own us. 😊😂
@@louise7552 takes a special cat to be that way. I almost found her a new home 3 times in the beginning because I did not want to torture her. But she loves it and we found a great flow.
Awesome build. It is well thought out and crafted.
This van is a work of art! I've never seen a Murphy bed in that position. It creates so much room in the rest of the van. You have everything! No sacrifices.
Thank you!
I have a Murphy bed in my van build and it was the best idea.
It leaves most open space possible - can do yoga and exercise inside my van!
Amazing build so much character and personality and it’s not cookie-cutter like 99% of the vans out there. This guy has got to do a Viking van build next! Very talented builder! 🎉thanks Patrick for the great video!
Wow, thank you!
I’d love to do a Viking build.
You want one? Haha.
Glad you love. I agree with cookie cutter stuff .
Agree with you. So many are the usual white/grey and minimalist interiors but this van is like looking into a miniature Medieval home. I love it.
@@opiavisuals Neither Anthony nor Left Eye AKA Fluffy Butt are cookie cutter beings.
@@barbaramuzychka3836 thank you xo
OMG, this guy is SOOOOO cute and has floral decor and a Tiffany lamp and a butterfly tatoo? OMG. Awesome decor, also.
Thank you ❤ much love
And a cat 😍
I love hobbit and medieval themed homes. This was so beautiful. I LOVE the kitchen. The man's respect for his cat is very heartwarming!
I don't have words how blown away I am with the attention to detail of this van. 😳
❤
Yes 🙌
Absoluelly brilliant!
@@FalconRiverArtemisArchery Thank you ♥
How did so much talent end up in one person? Completely gobsmacked by this gentleman's creativity and skills.
thank you!
@@opiavisuals
This is by far the coolest build I've seen. I'd live in it full time! Next I love the Calvin tattoo. And lastly, you need a Gandalf bumper sticker that reads "You Shall Not Pass". Great job!
That would be cool!
I had a hobbit themed camper long time ago.... the spare tire cover in the back had "Not all those who wander are lost" on it. I miss that camper. It was so cozy❤
What i like the most of all van videos is that I get to learn about lots of interesting people. This man in particular is so kind and gentle, very sweet. It was a great pleasure to "meet" him
Wow, thanks!
Thank you ❤
Yes, he's super artistic and I love his voice. If I had the money I'd definitely buy this build. It's beautiful.
@@faithevolution552 Thank you ♥
I'm in love. With the van AND the man. *swoon*
Thanks Emma
I’m him. 😊. Thank you. ❤
He's definitely a ladies man! @@opiavisuals
@@opiavisualsgay or straight
I was about to say, what a delightful gentleman artisan and kitty! The van and the man are charming! Really intricate finishes and so imbied with careful consideration, and skilled hands. It really has a historic cosy feel to it without being the least bit dark! That darling bathroom too, never seen one like it! All the details down to the lathed wooden plates, smart hidden (!) sound and movie features, and a seriously kitted kitchen in such a small van. Incredible! 👌❤️
This is the first time I have seen a design by a man that is not typical of the masculine look: dark colours, geometric shapes and flat surfaces. So much flowers in this campervan, I feel like I am living in a forest. Amazing work, well done @opiavisuals. Can you do an oriental theme?
Wow, thank you!
Hi. Thanks !
I’m not a man. I’m a troll just trying to find my way back home 😅
I’m sure I could do an oriental theme.
@kimyenchu… if you liked this …look up his other van that was showcased on this channel. This guy really does have an eye for decorating and detail. Very, very talented fella 👌
@@suemcknight9051❤
@@suemcknight9051agreed, that last one was so beautiful 😍❤️
These vans will be in a futurama museum someday....truly art work fused with function and elegance
Love his interactions with his cat....and his van.
I absolutely loved Anthony's last van with the English cottage theme. I love this one even more. It is stunning and warm and cozy. It's everything a person could want in a home
I not only love his Van and his creativity but also his sense of humor 😂😂😂
Your ingenuity and attention to detail is unmatched. Well done, sir. Very well done!!!
Thank you ❤
OMG.......This is stunning, his talent is beyond!
This puts all other live-in vans to shame. This is living in luxury and comfort. The energy of the cat and the guy is of such sweetness and genuineness; such a rush of inspiration you feel when someone puts their heart and soul into what they do.
Beautiful. I love that even the kitchenware is “on theme”. I love the faux window on the Murphy bed, and the panels on the closet.
Thanks so much! 😊
Fabulous! Yes, Anthony is a craftsman AND an artist - both of high caliber. TFS!
Absolutely
@@kgrant3184 thank you !
@@opiavisuals Cheers, mate - excellent job! TFS!
Love the hobbit van, and left eye too of course. Thank you for sharing. 😺
Our pleasure!
Thank you! ❤
Lefteye won me over with her singing, but your build is awesome !!!!!
She won me over as well. ❤
Absolutely amazing!!! You are right, Patrick, he is an artist and a master craftsman. Just unbelievably gorgeous.
This guy is truly living his best life. Inspiring!
Absolutely
Thank you ❤
OMG!!! I've been a Tolkien FANATIC for 30 yrs and I can't get enough of this van! I"m in the beginning stages of building my Promaster and now I want to go have this man build mine!!!! squeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! this is so perfect
Just buy this one he’s selling it
Glad you dig. Thank you much ! And agreed.
No you can’t have him , I will buy a van just so I have him build it out for me. I’m in upstate NY. Love everything about this, ❤️❤️❤️
@@MyTi824. Hahah. Whoever outbids , wins. ❤
What's the highest bid so far?
I'm officially in love with Anthony, his imagination, & his building capabilities. Love that whimsical & lovely van. I also love a man who's as sweet as Anthony is with his dear cat--she's a beauty, btw. 🫠
You’re very sweet. Thank you.
@@opiavisuals
Anthony, Two things:
1) I went to your website after watching this and rewatched your 1st van featured by Patrick. I saw I'd left a comment (actually 2) on that van also that you replied to. You mentioned how nervous you were during Patrick's interview after I'd commented how much I like you & thought you were so down-to-earth; I replied again & said you did great.
2) i fell asleep & had the happiest & most magical dream about your van for sale here. Part of it included a pass thru window like in your 1st van where I noticed approx 5-6 cats & kittens including a papa & mama, & 2 kittens that looked like your dear kitten here in this vid, plus 2 other kittens & a cat lay on the drivers seat with them. In the dream I felt I either needed to get the kittens & cats to you or rehome them safely. I wanted to take them all home if I couldn't find you.
Later when I awoke from the dream I went to your website again & watched Patrick's video of your 1st van again on which I had commented. Seeing the autumn themed window of the sliding glass door, I convulsed a single sob when I heard you point out your artistry in the door & you said you love autumn or it's your favorite season. I feel that way too. Am in NH so autumn is coming soon. It brings me joy.
Be well, good man. May Left-Eye my Dylan Thomas remain healthy & always be loved.🐈🐈⬛🌻🫠
Hugs to you, Patrick🤗
@@marirose19 aw . thanks you are very sweet. lots to say here.
I absolutely love new Hampshire and I am trying to build a home there.
Glad you liked it so much.
This build (and builder) are so adorable!! LOVE the Murphy bed and all of the amazing, intricate details. One of the most unique builds I’ve ever seen; love it!! ❤️
Thank you so much!!
❤
Its majestic, whimsical, fairytale-ish, mystery and beautiful all in one word, HOME. Thats not just a built out van. He put his personality and his talent into his home. Plus that beautiful, talented kitty 🩷🐾🐾💙.
Bless them and their next build. Enjoy you two.
❤🎉😊
What a perfect video. Between the host, Left-eye's presence, the build, the artistry, and Anthony's beautiful personality.. doesn't get better. Thanks guys! Keep at it. 🚐🖤
❤❤❤
Wow, thank you!
Good Lord…What a BEAUTY!! I wish it was mine…SO bad!! Your style, is totally my style as well!! What an amazing builder you are! This is so dang GORGEOUS…Im blown …away!! Such a work of Art!! Thank you SO much for sharing this Enchanting Gem!! One can dream…eh…
If there will be Award for designing camp vans, this would win for sure! It's pure camp van ART 💖 Well done to the artist, maker, crafter and thank for sharing
Anthony's craftsmanship is so amazing! So well thought out and beautiful!
This is by far the most beautiful and functional van build I have ever seen. The attention to detail, both aesthetically and functionality, is mind boggling. And arrangements for your cat! I could happily live in this enchanted home. I'm saving this video so I can watch it again and again.
Thank you :)
So cute little forest critter stuffed animals above the door amongst coloured flowers . Very adorable. Its cute he has a whimsical touch.
Wow just wow! This guy is amazing …. I love every aspect of this van. What craftsmanship.
Thank you 😊
So awesome
So impressive how clean and neatly everything was executed. Very charming decor feels like a cozy place to be.
Wow, just wow! So beautiful, so atmospheric and still so cleverly functional. Phenomenal and just so aesthetically pleasing. Dream van!!
Wow, thank you!
❤
The beauty of the georgous woodwoork, to the brass bathroom fixtures, and round window bathroom window, this conversion van is stunning. It should win some kind of art award, and your last one, the Europran cottage...they both deserve awards for beauty and artistic design. They are worth every dollar that you are asking for them...they just need to be preserved in a showcase❤ 😊❤
Thank you ♥ I want it to sell so i can build more!
I absolutely love this! I have to say the unique lighting like the Tiffany lamp and the picture butterfly light is so beautiful!
Yeah. I was so happy to find and convert it.
Glad you dig.
Thank you so much!
I love this! I wish the "window" under the murphy bed had been discussed. It looks so real!
Oh yes
Yeah. Sorry I didn’t go into more detail. It’s able to be switched out too for new photos.
Glad you love.
Yes, first thing you see and it just sets the mood for the whole build. Beautifully done from top to bottom and in between!
@@mojo7493yeah. I wanted when the door opens up to be magical and warm. I felt a window really makes it feel better but since I needed the bed there it was tough. So the lit photo idea seemed to work out.
Glad you like.
THISSS
Absolutely Mind-blowing. Thank you for showing us. How lovely to have a good friend living with you.
Anthony should consider starting a youtube channel to show off his work. i'm sure he would have more business than he could deal with in a few years
I agree ☝️
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures Thank you ❤ I simply do not have time.
Absolutely stunning. Simply blown away. He is living the dream. Love it.
Couldn't agree more!
Most charming van (and builder) I’ve seen!
Agreed 👍
As much as I love this home on wheels… I am crazy-in-love with the cat 🐈. She is so laid back, cuddly and “tuned-in” to what’s going on around her. Was happy to see another build by this handsome young man. I remember seeing his other one on this channel & being so glad to see a man with a wonderful sense of decor and thoughtful attention to detail. And, willing/eager to give credit to those who helped him. Great fun video showcasing some big talent.👌
I appreciate the feedback. I’m glad you liked this one.
Thank you so much. Left eye is the best ain’t she?
And I appreciate the attention to detail and respect. ❤
@@opiavisuals yes, she is…coincidentally, my best buddy was a (formerly feral) little kitty whose left eye had been poked out by something or someone before she turned up in my yard & my life…and, ironically she was “my girl “Goldie” (although my Goldie was not adept at making cushion covers 😂). I hope each time you do a build, we who are TH-cam viewers, will get to see your work.
@@suemcknight9051the some wild coincidences. Maybe you’re me in an alternate reality haha. Cheers
what I love best is his use of lighting, even in such a small space. He's sooo good with lighting! it's really created a warm and cosy nook and emphasised the creativity and design!
I don’t have words for how beautiful this van is! 💜💕💜
A beautiful soul and an amazing van! I would love to live in that space, the flowers and woodworking are enchanting and cozy. Thank you for sharing.
Your van is absolutely enchanting! Very little thing is AWESOME!!!
THIS IS AMAZING- clearly super knowledgeable builder - all the little pieces that are there because it’s more convenient or easier to access or less annoying-God if I could afford one of these things, I would get it in a heartbeat!!!
HANDS DOWN THE BEST VAN IVE SEEN! CONGRATS
This is so very beautiful!!! It is my Roadtrip Dream Drive!!!
I am 70 years I can only imagine ever affording such a treasure.
❤ Such detail in everything , an artist of designing the theme right down to the kitchen plates, bowls , & utensils. This would be wonderful to own to travel in.
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful job. As someone said this isn't so much a camper van as a work of art. Absolutely stunning!
A very comfortable place, and your cat 🐈 is a beauty indeed! Thanks 😊
Thank you! 😊
Love the singing cat at the end😂😂❤❤❤❤
Beautiful van build!!!❤
Wow 😮 just wow it's amazing. Beautiful and completely liveable forever. Dream home for me.
It really is!
This was THE BEST, most personalized, unique van build I have ever seen! The craftsmanship displayed is beyond words. You took every detail into consideration and it shows. I would live in this van for sure! Your personality is so warm and welcoming... high five to you! Also, watching your engagement with Left Eye makes my heart smile... Well Done! 😊
True - its Amazing
Wow, thank you!
One of the best builds that I have seen. A true work of art! Beautiful ❤.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you much
THIS IS SO FLY! WHAT A BEAUTY!
Love ya buddy!
Agreed
Astonishing! This is a themed van build, wow! So unusual to have Tudor walls and ceilings and old Elizabethan style cabinet work. The 'leaded glass' cabinet for Display Screen and Controls was genius! The epoxy flower and leaf work was just beautiful. Add a light behind it, and wow, glorious colors and mood lighting. Despite the whimsical decor, this van has solid components in Power grid and water heating, bravo Anthony! This is another tour de force creation. You are some artist and a true Renaissance man. Thank you for the tour, Patrick and Anthony! So enjoyable. I picked up a lot of ideas.
Appreciate the feedback. I’m glad you like this one.
❤. Thank you for noticing
So much heart and soul in this beauty. Good job. Wishing you a perfect space for your next build❤
This is one of my favorite van builts. Everything is so solidly constructed and with such detail. I love the epoxy decorations and the fact that you are using solid wood, not plywood or particle board or any of that cheap stuff. I'm impressed by the Murphy bed because of the fake window. The kitchen is sizable and the bathroom has everything you need in a regular home bathroom. You are definitely an artist.
This is such a beautiful and enchanting van. Well done.
THIS is by far one of the most beautifully designed and built out vans! BRAVO!! Would that I have the buck to buy it.
Wow, thanks!
This is one of those quirky and beautiful setups that i would pay to live in and enjoy life. This guy's work is so inspiring and amazing I don't have enough words to express how much I love his work. Again Patrick another wonderful tour.
WOW!!! This is beyond amazing. Love the inlays throughout. Especially on the closet doors. The only thing I don’t like about this van is that it’s not mine 😂.
Thank you so much!
Wow amazing bus! The most beautiful of 2024 as well and practical not just amazing! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Wow! Just wow! Wonderful. Amazing attention to detail.
Thank you very much!
Top to bottom, left to right…what a stunner!! And the van is absolutely gorgeous, too!
We agree!
This Enchanted Van is Unique and Beautiful it has everything you need and More. I Love everything in this Fabulous Van, Thanks for Sharing Patrick Enjoyed and Blessings 🙏❤️🥰😇 From Pennsylvania,USA
❤
We agree!
Awwwwww the end with the kitty!!!!!🥰 The van is fabulous too!!!! 🇨🇦
Yeah, he's a incredible artist.
Thank you very much.
@opiavisuals No, thank you.I hope one day I can afford one of your vehicles that you create And I want a signature too LOL
Wow, it is so fabulous. You have done a marvelous job. Thank you for sharing it with us. It is beautiful.
I don't look at van retrofits much, but this layout is splendid. Nearly every van layout I have seen has the shower at the front and the bed at the back. An altogether splendid build!
Thank you ❤
So much thought, planning and artistry in this build. True craftmanship goes a long way, I love the touches of humour also.
Loved that! You nailed it, magical, not tacky. Luv the copper also, adds to the homey, comfy appeal.
Thanks so much!
That’s a piece of art, I’m obsessed with it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lovely left eye. Nice van too! Well done! Safe travels!
She’s the best!
Thank you.
Thanks, you too!
The very best camper van I have ever seen. You truly thought out every inch. The details are amazing.
Absolutely beautiful! Fantastic imagination put into practicality. This is talent!
Thank you very much. What was your favorite part? What do you think you should build next?
Oh my gosh !!! Ohio gypsy gal here. Thank you for your unique spirit. I love your creativity and expression of life.
Thank you so much!
Thank you! ❤
What an amazing build! I love it!❤
Thank you 🙏🏼
This build is absolutely gorgeous! It's also incredibly unique. I've seen so many others that, while great in their own right, strike me as too cold or sterile. Obviously that's a personal preference as I adore darker toned wood, rich colors, and 'whimsical' design. I understand the impulse to give a small living space a bright, minimalist aesthetic...but this just proves you can do a lot to enrich the space without making it overwhelming. Well done!
Coolest custom van I have ever seen. Great tour. Love the cat, too!
Thank you
Thanks so much!
I've never seen a build like this. So creative. I love all the woodworking and the epoxy flowers are amazing. Beautiful work!
Thank you! Cheers!🍻
What a masterpiece!!
Thank you much
Agreed
What a fabulous van, absolutely love it. Artistic and brilliant craftsmanship.
Many thanks!
This is amazing. The bed/stained “glass” window is so cool.
Love it 😍
Finally one that has a homey feel, cozy and soft, where you would actually hang out Natural light, soft light, it has it all. More like this!!
Thank you! ♥
This is the coolest van i have ever seen....very inspiring. Mechanically, and artistically perfect. Thanks for sharing it.
Wow, thank you!
❤
I agree, this is a work of art. Amazing!!!
Love, Love, Love everything about this! It's absolutely perfect. Really like the natural, enchanted and vintage theme you've chosen. I live in a log cabin Lot's of wood and vintage. Thank you for showcasing this piece of art!
Thank you :)
The most beautiful build I've seen yet! I so would enjoy living in it!♥♥♥
Wow, thank you! What do you want to see him build next?
❤
@@opiavisuals A vardo.
Wow wow WOW! As a big fan of the Hobbit and a medieval re-enactress, I think this is the favorite and #1 build! So much detail and enchanting is an understatement. Thanks for sharing Patrick!!
Thank you
This is the COOLEST van I've seen yet. It is my favorite of all time. LOVE LOVE!
That is awesome. Any suggestions for the next one?
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures YesSSS !!!!The ultimate test of his artistic supremacy...as there are some pretty alluring ones out there already. A vardo.
P.S. LOVED the "wooden pillow-case" for nightly concealing the removed cushion which (without his brilliant foresight) had nowhere to be but in the way.
Incredible detail. This is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you very much!
Most AMAZING build ever!!! And kitty ❤️🐈⬛
What do you want tosee build next?
She’s the best ! Thank you
@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures A Victorian that would be like some of the original structures in Ocean Grove and Cape May. Anthony, if you did do a Victorian, you could show it at the Auto Shows that we have here in the Grove. Actually a Victorian Tent Cottage could blend right in here. And my Miss Matilda could get to meet your Miss Fluffy Butt AKA Left Eye
It’s hard to do many styles because they barely make me money as it is , so I have to be very selective when breaking the norm.
I would love to do many themes though and old Victoria speaks to my heart personally as well.
I really want to do a medieval one. Like vampire dark, metal castle stuff. Or a rock and tree build
I love the details and style, and how the bathroom is in the back, instead of the front as most vans out there, and the bed opens up. It feels more private and safe there than in the back of the van. Every part feels spacious. Wish I had your skills! ❤
Thank you! ♥
