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.

I love all of the exquisite charm & detailed woodwork in this van. 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!
