- Van builds are never-ending projects! Here are 10 things that we already need to change, add or modify on our most recent build. Sometimes they're the most basic stuff. Some other time, we (Dom) literally made some mistakes while building. Lettuce know if you have ideas for some of our fails, especially for the wall deco and the shoebox.
Enjoy!

WHO ARE YOU? WHAT’S WITH YOUR ACCENT?
We're Dom & Marie, a French Canadian couple who love Nutella toast and live in a van. Marie is the brain (Ph.D student) and Dom's the dreamer (Creative director). We have spent the last 2 years travelling around North America in our Promaster 136'' named Vanessa. In 2020, after a 12-month trip that was cut short because of Covid, we decided to sell our van to start a new project: a BIGGER van.
Our goal is to inspire others to start #vanlife and to help build their very own home on wheels while living and enjoying a balanced online and offline life.
That bit while Marie was describing her box idea and Dom was making the graphics had me laughing.
That dude. He never stops!
Saaaame
Me too. And the lettuce. Hilarious
Best thing ever!!
But to be honest… I did the same roundabout with regards to the space between my seat before realizing the swivel would make all my ideas moot.
Marie's box explained was one of the best things on CZcams ever. Really funny.
Dom, your video editing is hilarious! Laughed so hard at this one, especially Marie's box design. The edits and humor are one of the top reasons we keep coming back =)
Hahaha thanks Justin !!! See you next week for another video😁
Yes agreed as well as the French lesson!!
ahah it was super funny! thanks for the tips guys!
LED overhead strip for the lighting issue. On dimmer switch
Shoes - Your wooden slot idea but in canvass
Lagun table - Add another piece of wood to hold it farther from the wall. Or just flip the slats to the left side with the outlet and USB.
Ottoman seat box - make it moveable. Just move it to the back when necessary. Can also be used as outdoor seating.
Cheers from Vancouver eh!
Great suggestions! I'd take your advice on a van build. I'm hoping soon to get Ford E 250.
Hello Marie & Dom. I’m an international flight attendant based in the US and I have so much fun watching your journeys! The kind of center console Marie is imagining might work well with a flight attendant cart idea. Our carts are on sturdy lockable rollers with a boat style ridge/frame on top that could be used as a holder for dividers or swapped out for a cushion to be used as extra seating or a foot stool. Obviously the design would need to be modified and shortened to fit your space but please keep in mind that it would be wise to make the mobile utilitarian box “bottom heavy” as to ovoid tipping. Hope this helps. Cheers🥂
What about a pretty wooden cutting board that hangs over the stove. Serves as a backsplash but can actually be used if needed.
Ooommmmg! that's a great idea! Thanks for sharing 😁
A high polished thin stainless steel sheet as a back splash attached to the wall. Might look nice and keep heat from stove from burning the painted wood...Just a suggestion. Love your van build and your videos. We always enjoy watching you both as they keeps us laughing.
Love the cutting board idea- snd the stainless sheet too! I notice that Home Depot has a retro printed metal sheet that tries to replicate early (1920s) wall and ceiling tile/protective cover… it is very cute, and for some reason I think it originated in France. Tres bien, mais oui?
Cutting boards on one side, and stainless steel on the other, then you have decor options. Also. can use as cutting board (although cutting boards get ugly with use, or can be drink holder, flip over to stainless steel and it becomes a hot plate. OR skip the cutting board, put a pic on the other side of the stainless steel...maybe something yyou can change out the pic when you get board...OR on the wood side, so a wood-burn design. Cheers!
@@heiscalling Stainless steel as a backsplash is a pain in the ass, because every single little drop can be seen, and if you are as OCD as I am (and probably like Dom, it seems) that will bother you and you will have to wipe it every single time you pass by it. Wooden cutting board hides the tiny splash drops easier. You'd only have to wipe it maybe once a day, if that.
Get a straw beach bag for shoes. It will be firm enough to hold off shoes, flexible enough to bend, and durable enough to wash with hose to rinse off.
What a great idea, thanks !
😂😂😂Marie's sketch 😂😂😂
OMG that was hilarious!
Dead 🤣🤣🤣
He did a amazing job at representing what I said 🥴😂
@@vanlifesagas 😂😂😂
AC outlet is a simple fix. Cut a board the size of the bracket and place it on wall with screws, then reinstall the table. Depending on the thickness of the wood will give you greater distance from the wall.
Thanks that's a great idea! 👍
@@vanlifesagas or simply get a flat plug adapter :)
How about a 6 plug outlet adapter that has the outlets on the sides ( 3 on each side). Also flat plug extensions can be found on Amazon that are very short if you want to go that way : )
@@TheVAHam can the outlet handle that many plugs ?
@@CandycaneBeyond Yes, as long as you don’t overload the circuit. Side outlets would not accept power supplies, just standard plugs. You also might have issue using an adapter because your existing outlet is recessed in your slatted wall paneling.
The sketch was HILARIOUS!! 😂
That’s what I do.
Maybe like a utility cart type thing with tiers? Bottom for shoes, middle for camera, top for snacks, it moves to make an extra seat.
Sooo good. And then other people recommended adding lockable wheels on the bottom. You guys are clever!
Add a canvas of your favourite picture or scenery on your wall over your stove. Decorative and can act as a backsplash
Little spaghetti splashes on the Mona Lisa?
Absorption of the varnish - you made me laugh 😂
I've been watching thousands of regret videos and you guys are definitely the most funny one. 😂
We’re trying to moderate the drama a little.
The Ottoman between the Seats could also be used for your shoe storage by the sliding door. Hence space saving and dual purpose..
PS, You guys are great, Stay Well.
Thanks Roberto that's a awesome idea 😃
Just what I was thinking! I think someone did it. A wooden box, almost a cube. One side opens to show shoe cubbies- about 9. The top is cushioned but flips over to be a beverage / food tray. Underneath the top there is another tray, only an inch deep for pencils, a little clipboard, gas card, and maybe aspirin or an inhaler. The bottom has felt so it can slide between the seats and back to the cabinet by the sliding door without scratching your floor. And it latches to the cabinet to be an extra stool or feet-proper-upper when not between the seats. Eh!?
You guys are what we call in Portugal "cromos". it's such fun to watch your videos
What does cromos mean?
Oh my gosh......I'm LITERALLY CRYING from laughing so hard, with Dom's illustration of the box for between the front seats.
For dirty shoes, plastic hair covers are super cheap and easy to store-you can put shoes into them when you take them off and put them in your shoebox, so all the dirt stays in the plastic bag (hairnet).
Oh damn, that sounds genius.
Two suggestions: for the shoes, Ikea makes a fold out shoe storage cabinet (Trones) that could be installed on the wall of the cabinet. They don't take up much room and they close to keep things neat. For the box in between the seats, we like to use a large Ghanan Bolga market basket. It is studily woven and has a leather covered handle. The sides are flexible, which helps protect equipment and the wide flat bottom allows you to put a great deal of stuff in it. The handle makes it easy to move out of the way when you want to get through and you can just set it on one of the seats.
Loved the part with Marie’s box idea….LOL 😂
Hi Dom and Marie. I like the trivet idea, black iron against the white wall would look great, but I worry about it being all that functional against heat, and cooking splashes. Maybe mount a clear fireproof plastic of some sort behind the trivets. The mom in me would like to see a backsplash and a small wall of some sort, folding or staying, to the side of the burners in between them and the bed. As far as drinking glasses you should look into Tervis drinkware. I love them. They don't sweat, keep your drinks colder or hotter for longer and don't spill if you use the tops. Best of all no circles ever as long as you have a clean outside. I love my ice water and hot coffee. I use the stainless, but have used the others and loved them too. I sit them everywhere even on my treasured family antiques with no coaster or any worry at all. OH and you can have them made with your logo! If you do, I want one! ;) I think the shoe cubby Marie suggested sounds good, or if possible building a box under the floor with a lifting trap door to access just inside the door that would sit flush. Having a combination of the two wouldn't be bad either. Loved Dom's drawing of Marie's idea for the center box lol maybe use locking casters to roll the box and to secure it. I bet your Dad could solve that easily for ya'll. The van looks beautiful and pretty perfect to me. Love to you both, let the Vanlife Sagas continue.
🤣😂🤣😂 She explains stuff just like I do! 🤣😂🤣👍👍👍 Love you both, you are so silly!!! 🤗
Thanks Rocio!
Hanging file holders that you buy in an office supply store can be attached to your cabinet. Your shoes will fit in them toes down.
Ohhh that's good! Thanks Patsy!
"Pivot" HAHAHHAHAHAHA from Friends TV Show ! Good one!
Solar lanterns, solar lights on their stick in a vase for the table. I love them.Unscrew the top part in the morning. Let them sit on the dash during the day.
Yeah francophoners....c'est formidable!
Ohhhh baby. Great idea! Thanks for that recommendation!
For the blocked outlet…there are ‘slim fit’ extension cords for a short-term fix (?)…which lay nearly flush when plugged into the outlet…rather than sticking out.
We saw those, but there would be no space for its wire stickin out!
Its nice to see David Grohl giving van life a try.
You are very fortunate that your problems are so easily corrected. Really good to hear about your pet peeves though. Sometimes it’s the small things that are easily overlooked but are a pain in the ass, also easily to record the issue and then maybe the solution. Can’t wait to hear your “best things”.
#10 - what about a little wall mounted candlestick holder? You could even put a glass hurricane around it to protect the flame and amplify the light. Old fashioned but it works!
Your humour is much appreciated as was the lesson in French Canadian.
YAY!! We're happy you liked it!! Thanks friend!
Just add about half inch wood flat piece to move the table mount out some, easy peasy
That's exactly what we'll be doing. Thanks friend!
Hi Dom & Mary!!! Wonderful work👍👍👍. I advise you to place a piece of thermal glass on the wall near the stove. Easy to wash. you can place a sticker on the back side. And use as a decoration. Minimalism style. And also you can write markers on this glass board and protect the wall 😊
Hey! Great and honest video! The box that Marie was describing between the front seats it’s like an ottoman. It would be great because it’s an extra seat for dinning with friends in the van.
Melissa - That's what we had in our old rig. The top fit on the ottoman both ways. One side had a pillow top and the other side was firm to use as a little table. We used it when we had long travel days for snacks, coffee and whatever to sit on while driving. We both had access to it. Once we got to our camp for the evening we used it as a coffee table for our little couch. Short trips, it stored under the table.
Yes that's what I meant! I think it could work😁
@@vanlifesagas you can find collapsible cube ottomans online. The tops can even flip upside down as a tray. Fold it up when not needed. 😃
You guys never fail to amuse. Love, love, love.
Love love you! 🟨
The toolbox sketch is hilarious... hahahahaha...
Shoebox Idea: look at the Ikea Trones shoe storage in white. just add a clip style latch so it stays closed during travel. You could add a top in matching wood to dress it up.
What a great idea! Thanks friend!
You could use Maries box idea but attach it to the edge of the counter where the shoe box is with velcro and store shoes inside and you could move it when you are driving and it could still use it as a stool.
BACK OF STOVE
what about a fold down 'counter like Murphy Bed concept? It could cover the stove when not in use and extend the counter space, protects wall when up.
COUNTER
Find a clear cover with 'feet'...a cutting board, if you will, see through to the wood and functional and removeable
SHOE BOX
A box-basket with dividers inside and a lid that holds items to wipe off/dust off shoes OR holds van shoes/slippers (shoes u only wear in the van)
Love the transparency on the love/hate on a van u just built. Hope to meet someday! HUGS
An aesthetically pleasing shoe storage near the door was on our minds too!
Our solution was to simply downsize the amount of shoes we have haha
HAHA!!! I think that's the best tip we had so far 😂
For your shoes maybe do a couple shelfs like the book shelf just a little deeper
Like vertically?
Vertical shoe rack on the kitchen wall so shoes are up off the floor but sand and dirt fall where it can be swept up or outside easily.
Yess, that’s what we are looking for!
Walls are changing colour probably due to using oil/solvent based paints/varnish. Try a water based paint.
Another idea build a shoe rack/storage inbetween the front seats with usable storage on top for when your driving. 2 birds 1 stone.
Great build guys :)
You said one of your priorities was to have space as you entered the door...if you put your shoe storage attached to your counter you are encroaching on that space. Maybe build your shoe storage into the box that you want in between your seats. Put that box on rollers so you can move it in and out as you need to access the front or turn the seats around. SUCH a beautiful conversion. Love watching your videos. You always make me laugh.
A couple of gooseneck 12v lights mounted on the bookshelf with the wiring laying at the bottom of the bookshelf could bring a lot of light and be directional for each person at the table. The Marie sketch was hysterical!
Gooseneck 12v lights hen? Looking it up now.
The "box" could be exactly like you described with cushion, cut-outs and etc... however I would put it on locking casters and make the bottom of it (under the cutouts) shoe storage. You could keep it between you when you are traveling, at the door when it's need for shoes and flip the top for a seat that with the extra shoe storage it would be tall enough to reach a table....just an idea. They have ac boxes similar to what you where talking about except they have the outlets on the side (not pivoted, fixed ones). I think maybe they might have options of plugs and usb connections.
The box illustration thing 🤣🤣🤣. I was hollering 😂. (Or am I too high)
Hahaha yes 😂
You can buy a night lite that covers your electrical outlet. They have outlets on both sides of the light.
That's a really great idea!
Light - buy a small 12v rechargeable batteripack that you can hide in the bookshelf, then you can buy a 12v lamp or bulb (depending on taste) to use with it. The "backsplash" - you could put up a piece of plexiglas in a way that it's easy to put up and down, which would make it possible to add pictures or a painting behind it. Beeswax for the counters :-)
Ikea here in Denmark have a little shoecabinet where the front tilts out at the top (I bet you have them over there too), it's called Trones - it might fit in that spot.
@Michelle Jensen Just looked up the Trones thing. Excellent idea - I’m snaffling it for my van!
wow Michelle those are all amazing idea will definitely check each one of them to see if they work for us! Thanks for all those suggestion 😁🧡
@@janemack1933 :-D
@@vanlifesagas Can't wait to see how you solve the different issues :-D
For the shoebox get a shoe hanger that you put on a door and cut it down to fit that spot and hang it there. It would be removable so you can shake it out to clean and stay put on hooks fixed to the cabinet
Oh that's good. Can even use it in the back of the van for showers.
@@vanlifesagas absolutely! We use it when we travel at hotels and put all kinds of stuff in it for travel storage
I have a picture of sunflowers on tin that would be perfect behind the stove. The heat wouldn't hurt it and it cleans up with soap and water.
For shoes, you can use a cloth hanging shoe rack that has velcro at the top to go around a closet dowel. I use this at my house for shoes.
Led strip lights in the front, canvas shoe holder on back of passenger seat. Make the same cork window blinds in the front as you have in the bedroom. matt Varnish for the counter tops
Marie's box idea could have the doors for your shoes at the bottom and could be on wheels or some type of removable system and the top could actually flip from cushion to tray and a serving lower tray for your camera stuff.
Exactly what we need!! Thanks friend! 🤗
Bee's wax or a French polish, also a wax for the counter tops to give you great protection.
Bee's wax !! On it. Thanks Gordon!
Sticky back plastic. Gives colour and design and it waterproof. For the back splash.
We’ll look into this. Do you have a link?
For the AC a side facing 6 plug, for the shoes a canvas pocket organizer
For the box a collapsible ottoman. Silicone trivet in a few coordinating shapes
Will the side facing 6 plug fit there you think?
@@vanlifesagas mine sticks out 2 inches from the wall including the original switch plate.
Part 2!! Appliances and systems and layout please
Coming amigo. Or else, check out the van tour on our channel. Lots of info there as well.
Truckstops sell these seat organizers that hang off the back of your seats to give you place for shoes.
We loooove the idea. We initially tried it in our first van, but then the seat didn't swivel anymore. Oups!
Maybe the box in-between the seats and be the shoe box!
ohhhh great idea!
How about a glass chopping board for behind the hob? Maybe one that's held in at the sides and that you can slide up and out to use, then slide it back down to store vertically? You can get some great designs!
You mean a removable backsplash???
@@vanlifesagas in a way, yes. Removable half height backsplash that doubles as a chopping board. Coils be glass, heat resistant plastic, or maybe even wood?
I know this an older video, and you may have found solutions already, but for the lighting have you considered rechargeable solar lights?
There's a huge range, some are magnetic, so they can be placed anywhere metal, and most can be charged via USB as well.
For a step, why not just get a fold away step ladder, they come in a range of sizes and materials.
As for your shoes, you could try an ottoman, with a flip up lid, that fits next to your door, with wheels, so you can move it around. That could be used as a foot rest or an extra seat (as you suggested for your middle console box).
As for the middle console box, I think you had a good idea, except add wheels again, so you can just roll it in and out. And maybe add to the sides, small lagoon tables, that can slide up and out, and you can move them around, just like your normal lagoon table. And when they're down, they just look like a part of the box.
And thanks to you, i have been saying tappette a mouch at every opportunity!
Could your shoe box and utility box become one? Build a box with open shelving on the bottom with a closed in section on top that could become storage and a table. When you want to swivel the seats the box can move back to where your shoe box is now.
I was thinking this as well. perhaps make the bottom portion of the box slotted for shoe storage, and make the lid of the box reversable where one side would be a cushion for extra seating, and the flip side of it would be useable as a table while driving
What a great idea, Will definitely be tried😁 Thanks for sharing with us!
That's sounds amazing😁🧡
Hello, maybe a shoe organizer with pockets for the shoes on the back of your seats? Take care
That could be awesome, yes!
Get a large rectangular embossed copper tray. 2 hooks, one higher as a wall decoration, one lower to protect the wall when cooking
There are cutting board waxes that further protect wood cutting boards and counters.
Ohhhh looking it up now.
Add a small cooler with cup holder indentions on top. Keep your snacks inside and use plastic bowls to eat from. If you use plates, the food can slide off. A small cooler, or one with 2 wheels can easily be moved. You can have a cushion ready to use as a seat.
for your shoes maybe see if you can get a hold of the plastic ikea uses for their compact shoe cabinets and diy one yourselves in the space by the door. the ones that fold vertically. they're very minimal and space saving.
Oh that's a good idea! Thanks for sharing Joey😊
glad i could contribute my idea! rooting for you guys to resolve those things you want changed.
For your lighting issue, try a short string of Luminoodle (powerpractical.com) attached just behind trim of bookshelf - a hole drilled in the bookshelf so you can set the usb power for them in the bookshelf out of sight. These are super bright. If you don't want it to be permanent - the lights come with a white bag that will hold the coil of lights and the power and you can hang it from a slat of your ceiling like a chandelier. Boot box - we have a felt box from Ikea that we share - it is lined on the bottom with a silicone dog food mat (Amazon). If you don't want to share due to someone (Dom) not clearing debris from his shoes, you could each have your own. Ikea makes a fold out wall mounted plastic shoe storage thing that folds closed - maybe you could redesign in wood to match your interior. When you figure out the step thing we would love to hear it . We have a transit, bought a step, however it moves when you step out of the van on uneven surfaces - so it spends most of it's time in the bottom of the boot box. FYI - we witnessed no Sharon Stone clip in this video.
Polyurethane works good for countertops, nice clear protective coating, we use it all the time.
Moving the block that the table mount may be your simplest solution to the unusable outlet issue.
Adding a light above the table is a quick and easy thing, just need to drill a hole where you want to place the new light, pull out the nearest light and use a drain snake or piece of thick wire to fish your light wire between the two lights.
For number 5: You can put cork at the bottom of your glass! Hope it works! 🦾
Ohhhh that's good.
Thule make a neat electric step that slides out when the door is open and closes when door closes, they are slim too
Ohhhh snap. That's what we need. Thanks friend
Shoe box idea...I have a mountable slotted shoebox that I use. it is small enough to fit in that space and can be mounted to the side of the cabinet.
Light over the table... If you have a USB power outlet nearby, there are small LED lamps that can plug into that. As a musician, I use one of these. This one clips onto the music stand and has two separate lights that can be positioned individually.
Van step... there are actual steps that mount underneath the van. You can get either a stationary one, or one that automatically recesses under the van when traveling, then into step position when stopped.
The paneling turning yellow... You used a pinewood paneling, apparently. Knots can be seen through the finish you applied that suggests pine. Pine contains a heavy resin that leaks out. When you applied the finish you did not say that there was a sealer applied first. This is unfortunate. A sealer would have prevented this. The only suggestion I have is consult a professional cabinet maker. The only way I know to fix this is to remove the finish you have now, apply sealer, and then refinish.
Bon voyage form Florida, USA!
Use spar varnish to protect the wood
Check for USB powered reading lights for near your table? Some use adhesive tape to attach to the walls. I use them in my RV. For the wall, I would consider finding some decorative tiles (spanish or mexican?) that you love and use construction glue to to adhere to the wall. They are easy to clean and would give some protection from fire from the stove.
Maybe some type of light strip, easy and simple!!
And that would look nice as well.Thanks Tristam!
You can get the plastic trim for the max air fan with led lights built in. That might help with the lighting.
Hi, maybe a combined shoebox / step thing is a good idea. Maybe with a glittered floor, so the sand falls through. Please drive carefully and stay the way you are. And… no undies were in sight…
That's a great idea!
Soooo good! Thanks Stefanie!
Furniture wax or Johnson paste wax on counter. Plexiglass or white acrylic sheet for back slash. Can easy replaced when needed. Pictures could be placed behind plexiglass.
Still a beautiful van.
That's a really good idea. Does plexiglass melt with heat?
My mom used it behind her house stove for years to protect a painting she had done for the backsplash. I don’t think she replaced at anytime.
A stick on LED strip powered by the 12v outlet under the table
Yesss, that's an interesting idea! Thanks we'll think about it👍
1st comment ! you guys have great energy and I love your sense of humor !! You just touched on washing clothes which can be a pain to go hang out in a laundry mat…An additional thing I learned from you is to build your van where it can be continually upgraded / converted ..for the extra need of light , lucy lights are nice …as far as # 1 a wide mouth gatorade bottle is great when you can’t go outside and of course they do have accessories for the female . I have seen so many fancy toilets which almost seem like more trouble than they are worth …a 5 gallon bucket with a toilet seat is quick and easy ..some people use cat litter ..others use different types of shavings ( for example like for hampsters) ..after you go throw the bag out at next convenient place ..you guys make others feel happy as you are ! :)
You are so right about the toilet…but some do need it to be happy!
Led solar lights. Run the small solar panel out of the window up to the roof. Stick the led track around the area you need light. They come with dimable remote. And different colours
Like they have their own panel?
I use a lot of them around my home. In the garden I use the solar ones. Yes they have their own small panel. 2 by 2 inches.
A two shelf shelving unit would work for shoes. You could move a hanger for dishtowels elsewhere.
Put pegs or hooks on the wall of the cupboard to hang your shoes on. Just a thought
That’s nice! Good idea.
You could paint a design above the stove for decoration and to also help out with the yellowing of the varnish!
Puck lights: easy fix....battery powered or extension cord to bed light gooseneck style....check your Goodwill light section...they have lots of lamps under 3 dollars.
Maybe build a step that doubles as a shoebox and tucks in where you had that plastic box.
Why do l get a friendly modern vampire vibe from Dom? 😁☮
Ahaha!! Funny dude at day, vampire at night 👹
I like Marie's box idea! You could do something similar for shoes but bolt it to the cupboard?
For your countertop, you can rub with beeswax. Oil conditions the wood, then beeswax seals it for stains.
On it. A lot of people have recommended it and it sounds brilliant. Thanks Christine!
They have led lights that have stick backs that work wonders.
Couldn't tell, but at least you were wearing undies. 😅 For your white boards, Kilz would have been best to use first, but too late now (use in a very well ventilated area, it has a strong odor to it). Try some Rustolium paint. We had dark kitchen cabinets that we tried painting white but it bled through and turned very yellow. Five coats later and still bled. Other side of kitchen tried Rustolium paint and no issues after 2 coats. So the first side, added the Rustolium for the sixth coat and it worked. After a few years with kids, it was a pain to keep clean. In my opinion, use a different color all together, it won't show the dirt as much. Loved the box illustration. Go with a little ottoman and put locking wheels on the bottom so it can be used as an extra seat as well. You guys are hilarious. 😂😅😂😅
Thanks Roxann! We are taking notes for the painting here!
Lettuce snow 🥬❄
Lettuce snow😂
For the outlet, look at kitchen countertop pop-ups
shoe box step combo. make the step a box that holds shoes too.
You two are so fun to watch! Loved the box sketch and the lettuce head 🤣🤣!! Hope to see you one day! XX
Man, some great ideas in here. I think a follow up video in the future would be fun. :)
Absolutely. You can count on us!
On your outlet issue with the Laguna table, I would add a 1/2" wood spacer at the existing wooden mount. That should give you enough space to use the outlet. Love your videos!!!
Sooooo much easier than destroying it all. Can't believe we didn't think of the one. Duh! 🙄
HAHAHAHA !!!! L'illustration de "La boite à Marie" est tellement excellente !!! :)
J'ai (Marie) tellement ri quand j'ai vu le montage pour la première fois.
Trivets can be sprayed paint with heat resistant paint in colors. Easy to wash . Always the most important reason to use something.
