      May I ask what you painted the pvc trim with to make it look like metal? Using that combination so that you didn’t have to bend metal is an ingenious idea!

    Details and craftmanship are EVERYTHING. This build is full of thoughtful design, and the result is delightfully marvelous. The wood-framed window sills complete with curtains and potted plants; the flowers in the door was the BEST surprise; the European sink with the wallpaper and slatted wood walls and ceiling; the wood shelves, the colors themselves, and the ART. WOW. All the bedroom details... those sconces are the best... pair with battery candles and no fire hazard... the paned windows + ivy and light... so enchanting and wonderful. It all works together SO WELL. Like a freaking movie set. Someone mentioned they thought it lowered their blood pressure because it was so lovely and they weren't even a fan of this type of decor! OK now, really... what a testimony. That carpeting also helps reduce echo; the slide horizontal window for kitty to come visit you up front... more and more details that are just perfect. This guy "gets" old world charm and would probably make a killing selling more of these. I feel like it's a tiny hobbit home on wheels! I feel so fortunate to have seen this tour! The wonders of modern technology that it can reach basically anyone at all to view. Can't say enough!!! 💖💖💖 I just don't know that I can go with modern sleek after seeing this!!

      Hi.
      That’s a lot to take in. Wow.
      I really appreciate you taking the time to say such things.
      There’s a a lot of time to deliberate on these things when building them continuously for 6 months straight. So I had plenty of time to keep tinkering with the final outcome. I did however have an overall feel and general living style I wanted it go for and I didn’t want to sacrifice on detail and functionality. It was very cathartic for me after my heart was shattered.
      So thank you.
      As for making a killing selling these …
      That’s another discussion. Feel free to email me if you want to discuss business.
      Cheers.

It immediately envelops you in the character and warmth of an English pub aesthetic with all the wood, brick, dark beamed ceiling, etc He packs a ton of features into it and yet it remains cozy and charming. Perhaps he should consider a Tuscan villa aesthetic as his next endeavor. Regardless, I have no doubt whichever direction he goes, the end result will be stunning!

    Patrick In the beginning you described it perfectly. To me it looks like a old lived in home with character. The kitchen and countertop space is perfect, plenty of room for making any kind of meal. I like the separation of the bedroom. Shower, toilet, seating, and table is all included. The bedroom windows looking out to a brick wall with greenery is very cool. When you sit in this place there’s a lot of details to look at that’ll give you that warm fuzzy feeling. Great job, thanks.

    Wow, I am in awe of the good taste and talent it took to build that! It has the feel of a country cabin, warm and cozy right from the "welcome"ing entrance on! That sink is gorgeous! Everything from the paneling and ceiling, the archway, the windows by the bed (ivy!!!), the real window by the table complete with sill, your mom's plates, the fall flowers over the door, the outdoor antique showerhead, etc., all soooooo good! Really VERY impressive! Thank you both for sharing. I'm going to watch again now...

    What a lovely man & van build. As someone whose style has been called eclectic & cosy, (maybe even cluttered 🤷‍♀️) this feels like home.
    He seems very genuine & even a bit shy/nervous, and did a great job talking us through an obvious labour of love. I hope it was cathartic.
    (one thing I do love about other builds though is the clean aesthetic, which for me is an escape from my real life to a more minimalist version of myself, so don't know that I want to travel in something that reminds me so much of my home 😬😂)
