Spectacular! it's like magic world. Loved it!!! and as always loved ur presentation Bryce.
It looks dark, cluttered and depressing. Not for me.
To each his own. Hope they never have a fire.
I've never heard of it... I'll try it
I love all the wood and magic world of it all !!!
☮️🙏💜
There's a saying that good parents give their children both roots and wings.
Very true!
J. Joy there’s also a saying that having a child starts with a root or something like that
J.Joy. Love that.
The best parents realise the only guarantee their children will truly have is death, so they leave their children unborn in sweet nothingness ;-)
Wow...what a beautiful saying
aahh just found this video.. finally, maximalists in a tiny house...
I hear that!! Yessss! We still exist❤
I like to dub this the clutterbitch aesthetic ☄☄☄
Exactly what I searched for on youtube. maximalist bus conversion. Surprisingly few of them, aside from this, and some hoarders.
Gives me hope for our future tiny home haha!
Right?! Now I know for sure I can live tiny.
My favorite kind of home is one where the personalities of the occupants literally exudes from the walls and ceiling. One that smells of living. This is one of those homes.
Me too! I just kept looking around their home in awe. All the little trinkets and the designs add character to the whole place I'm just blown away! I hope one day my home will exude this much creativity.
@NY UK Oh My GOD Shut Up with your evil judgmental speech!! You have no right to be so stupidly arrogant and to say that their home is smelly when I bet your home stinks to high heaven from your shitty personality.
@NY UK I can smell the patchouli coming thru my screen
@NY UK So you're on drugs ......maybe take more so you finally stfu
Oh, I'm pretty sure it smells of something 😂
This is honestly one of the most mystical bus conversions I've ever seen. I've watched so many modern-styled conversions (I love those as well, don't get me wrong), but this one absolutely blew me away. Everywhere you look, there's just intrigue upon intrigue. These two created a work of art.
I think it's amazing...like living inside of a pirate ship. You could spend weeks in there and still discover new things. It truly is a masterpiece.
You really can. I feel like we were only able to scratch the very surface of this amazing home in the time we were there.
Right! I've never been overly fond of converted buses, but this one is incredible. Time to broaden my horizons .
@@estebanb7166 That is what I feel also. The roof raising really makes the bus very special and I may have to watch a few more times to get that brave. Also these two are great together and have a gift.
Like a dead rat??
The guy Brendon even looks like Captain Jack's brother! Amazing home, creativity, ethic and individuality. Thought provoking which is so good......... Thank you
Looks a lot like Howl's moving castle inside
James Owen oMg as soon as I read the word Howls my heart skipped a beat that's my fav movie
Does kinda look like Howls room in that one scene
Ahhh it definitely does!!
yes!!!
Dwayne Johnson it’s actually based off a book and if I recall Sophie is a witch.
I was mesmerized by this larger version of a gypsy caravan, its like a whimsical old curiosity shoppe inside, what Fun!!!
It does seem like a curiosity shop!
I am a older lady and watching this has given me so much joy. I just love this...how wonderful you both are raising your children with such creativity and beautiful energy. Have a wonderful and fun life together. 🙂🙂🙂
The setting looks like it's from a Studio Ghibli Movie.
The bus looks like howls moving castle but a bus
I am speechless! I had to stop the video many times, just to look around at all of the things they have and how they have been arranged. I adore what they have created!! Thank you sooo much for sharing this beautiful experience. I wish I could walk inside as you did Bryce...
"The children have the familiarity and stability in some sense but also the true chaos and freedom that is a part of the universe" yessss. ! Whoa, that is such a wonder-fULL piece of ART. Super inspiring, thanks for sharing :)
This was one of the most spontaneous reactions from Bryce I've seen in these videos. The way he smiled after entering the bus was so genuine. I love the work they did on this bus. And I wish so many good things to this family!
Wow I’ve seen many bus conversions but this one is mighty special it’s like a trip to a magical land of Pirates and Wizards all in one
Wow that’s interesting what the girl said about not needing to keep buying things when so much already exists. Makes you think. But I think I still would have bought a water tank!
Rayna Butler we do have a drinking water tank...just not for showers
Jennifer Casidy dear beautiful Jen, incade you do ever see this- I just wanted to say I’m rewatching your episode as it’s probably my favourite. You’re home and family exude so much love, beauty, creativity and wholesome positivity. Thank you for sharing some of yourselves with us all. But I also wanted to say I’m quite disappointed and dismayed by lots of comments left by moronic and nasty people. I hope you’ve just shrugged your shoulders at their shallowness and hoped they’ll grow and find peace in their ugly hearts. I hope it didn’t upset any of you. I just want to thank you for bringing beauty to my heart, and eyes❣️Sending you all lots of love from the U.K. 💚
This episode inspired me so much. As I have gotten older, I have found myself disenchanted with materialism. This episode really accentuates the true meaning of "having your things about you". Thank you.
Finally! A tiny house with a bunch of book storage in it! My biggest concern in a lot of tiny house designs is where I would store my books, which are treasures to me. This entire family appears to read a lot.
I'm sure there are many that might think that living in such an unconventional space might be a handicap for the children...I absolutely disagree with the critics...these kids are being raised with parents who obviously love and treasure them, as well as have taken seriously being the example that one does not have to be sucked into the "consumer mentality" and buy buy buy...I think these experiences will be such blessings for these kids...they do not feel the typical peer pressure to be a part of the tech age of "who's got what" and "mine is better than yours" ...the so silly sweet little games of buying things from one another and selling them back and rearranging their little treasures etc.. are the very experiences our kids have generally lost...and a great loss it is...these kids will have imaginations and think out of the box and therefore will be much healthier than our typical latch key kid that comes home to a big old (or new) empty house waiting for mom AND dad to come home from working their way too many hours to provide a big pile of emptiness. These parents are engaged and actively participating in providing these kids with one fabulous loving childhood...and all because of a silly old bus...who'd have ever thunk it?...LOL... Blessings to them all...because of course, "It's A Wander-FULL Life" indeed!
I was just thinking of what a wonderfully rich life these children have. They aren't relying on electronics to live and grow. They are using their minds and imaginations. They also have room to run and explore.
@Roxanne and they are providing stability throughout the school month. They are in the moment parents.
I agree.. that's what we did as kids, played in the dirt.. had fun being kids. No cells.. no technology to interrupt our lives. I strongly believe that should be our lives now n sadly it's not. They are one with the earth n enjoy every min together as a family unlike so many of us today
@NY UK and with every demon slain, we get stronger and stronger
@NY UK Whoa calm down and find something better to do with your time that talking trash to people you don't know over the internet. Just because the way they raise their children does not fit with your "norms" or how you were "raised" (this includes their home/decor) does not make how they live evil. They are encouraging their children's creativity and love of nature (how is that demonic?), teaching them what it means to live a sustainable life without waste and without hurting our environment. They are learning what it means to value things outside of monetary value. To have a home that is stable and loving and encouraging. I could go on but from what I've said I think it is pretty clear that they love their family and are not subjecting them to evil things.
I could get lost just admiring their treasures.
The best bus EVER! MAGICAL AND SO UNIQUE! Thank you Brandon and Jen for allowing us in to see your beautiful home!
I love their hippy relaxed way of speaking. They're such genuine people as well.
OMG :) I could spend hours in that bus. I love the stuff and how they've arranged it but aside from that it has that warm and homely welcome feel. More power to them.
What a beautiful, creative family! A home built with love, a moral conscious and a need to surround themselves with things that make them happy. To wake up every day to such beauty would be such a blessing! But my goodness! What a feast for the eyes! The wood stove, the old gas stove, THE PANTRY!!!! And the sink!!!! It just seemed to go forever! I wish this family a lifetime of love and happiness. Truly free spirits that care about the earth and their impact upon it.
I love this couple and can relate to how they think about quality made cast-offs! Good for them for salvaging these beautiful old things - and raising their kids in such a beautiful way.
Yes, it's inspiring
Loved this Tiny House! Easily one of my favorites. Even though it's small, it has so much more character than any house i've ever seen. You walk in and instantly see the connection between the family and their house. This is the kind of tiny house I want. I want to live tiny but with all *my* things. Things that make me feel home. A place which is my expression of a home.This is perfect.
I love it because it has so much character and actually looks like the inside of a pirate ship!
I had the pleasure of entering this magical bus when they were up Northern Nsw at Brunswick Heads. It is truly amazing.
Do they charge to enter it? To see inside?
@@mariawanjiru8296 their bus says “in service” so I would suppose they would. Kind of like being uber drivers with lots of flair!
@@sonofhibbs4425 ok
That’s so cool! I’m more minimalist myself because it’s easier to clean lol this must be a nightmare to clean with all the things to move to dust around 😳😳 but it totally suits their vibe ✌️
An air compressor might help
Also, what if something important gets lost inside, it'd be hard to find. Constant cleaning and repair because the space gets so much use
Yes so much stuff is their happiness , but they must get overwhelmed also because there is so much living space set up outside. I think that is where they spend most of their time.I was thinking spiders and snakes then the little boy came out with the snake ..LOL not for me .But this is very interesting .
Kiwigirljacks I'm a minimalist to the tenth power lol. Everything is beautiful on the bus, but I started getting anxiety thinking about the contents and cleaning. Not to mention claustrophobic. They're a beautiful family and the home is lovely though. It's about being happy huh. Peace.
Not for me it looks too messy. If this is their downsizing I can't even imagine their old place. It's not like it is filled with useful things either.
How does everything not fall when they are driving?
Lol
It seems most things are drilled or hanged to the walls
When you travel in your home you just take down everything that isn't attached to a wall. We usually end up with a lot of our kitchen tools in the sink and my shelved items are on the bed. No biggie.
MAGIC LOL
@@farunelthorn2164 how do you take a million things down? They have a million of little objects there.
All the buses, motorhome's, etc. that I have seen, this is my favorite! many blessings to this beautiful, magical family!!!!
It's like a vintage ship on the inside, especially with all the beautiful wood and those windows up top. Would have loved to hear the little ones do their spiel about their home, from their point of view. It's a good thing they have parents that encourage them to be free to be creative in their thoughts and deeds. Makes my Heart Smile.
the most gorgeous living space ive ever seen. the decision to only use reclaimed, vintage materials adds such an incredible amount of depth and personality. There's a treasure trove of inspiration in literally every frame of this video.
Absolutely spectacular, thank you so much for uploading this.
My sagittarian soul is screaming! Ugh i'm in love with this tiny house! It reminds me of Howls moving castle!
Same!
I totally agree with saving beautiful old things from the dump. Such an amazing philosophy and wonderful home. I also collect found things and display in my craft room. Beautiful souls.
Bryce, this is my favorite of all your wonderful videos. What I love about it is what they said at the end, that you don’t need much to do what you want. I love the tiny house idea but sometimes when I see how much they can cost, I wonder if something has gone awry - although of course the expensive ones are inspiring in a different way. Loved for instance the ones made by the man in Brittany. But I’m so impressed that this family has this beautiful home made without consuming new materials and without having wealth. Love it! And I’ve really enjoyed your channel.
I prefer the more minimalist look but they are loving life so kudos to them
I also prefer a more minimal look, yet I love this build. Such a cool looking space.
Same I'm a minimalist I just love the artistic vibe
Me too, but I'm impressed at how creative they are and what they've done with entirely reclaimed materials
Agreed. It's pretty at first but the clutter was giving me a headache before the 5 minute mark.
I"m a minimalist-in-training and my partner is a curio collector-in-training. I swear, I gasped out loud when he suggested we get a curio cabinet! But I admit that his things are beautiful and he admits that he needs to reassess the amount he has, and we're learning to blend the two. It looks like this couple really found their match. While I don't envy them the maintenance, I think you're right- they are living life for sure!
Brings a whole new dimension to that phrase . . . 'one man's trash is another man's treasure' !
OMG I love these people and their amazing positive hippy like attitude!. These are just quite my favorite people. Where do we meet people like them?. I love them!. I love their way of life and I admire their style.
Apothecary fits what the bus looks like. It seems that any moment there will be a line up of magical people at the door to trade, buy or seek knowledge. I am envious that you've created such a gorgeous space to live, grow, dream and wonder. 💕🦉🇦🇺
It has an "out-of-time" feel, like modern fantasy. You can imagine it rattling into a village and parking a few days, everyone gathering around to get their potions and herbal remedies and trade in interesting trinkets.
Like a Tardis full of pirate treasure and a mobile Asian apothecary all in one.
This episode had a lot of heart, and I'm loving the switch up from the minimalist style that is so often seen in tiny houses! What a lovely, happy family
I have absolutely no words....I keep going back to the 70's and the hippies I hear in my mind music from that era..Santana...Osibisa...etc..
.
Creating a nurturing space for these children and teaching them to be stewards of our planet is admirable. Enjoy these lovely people.
parents like them are rare.....
you can feel they care about their children
For my taste the perfect balance between clutter and decoration, it looks like a piece from a movie, carefully put together. Just awesome
Maude's house.
💕This has got to be my favorite set-up of all the tiny homes on wheels I've seen online. It's a treat to see what it looks like when people live by their philosophies. 💕
True hippie parents....love it. Virtually, aside from the turntable, which I love....looks the only modern technology. (okay that fridge...but...) No TV, No phones....but tons of books and curious children that think feathers and rocks are toys...(which can be) Beautiful. Everywhere there is something to look at, see and ingest... For a small space, maybe too much for me...but seems to totally work for that family. an art piece for sure....and cozy, welcoming space....

actually the no technology thing is not really true...
Alpha Regulus41 how’s that?
Stephen Murphy the problem is in your own head!
I love tiny house videos and I love living in one. But one thing I never really enjoyed was the minimalism that came with it. Maybe minimalism can be a good lesson, like the parable of the raft, you only hold onto the things you need and let go when it's time to, but I don't think minimalism needs to be painful numbers and bare bones. I love this house. Its full of random shit but organized and clean, and you can tell they only took what they though gravitated to them, maybe not "just the essentials' but certainly conscious about what they take because they only have so much space. It's full of memories, but only the ones they choose to keep
Shantikeet well said mate! Very well said indeed.
Cheers mate
I'm the same way I love finding old things and bringing it back to life again! I love there home! It's a true jewel!
I have been inside The Liminal Caravan multiple times and I always describe it to people as my favourite tiny home ever. I can't believe I missed this episode and finally can show people it. Absolutely magical space and Brandon & Jennifer are wonderful people.
The fact one of them used to be ferried to school in it makes it PERFECT! The whole inside reminded me of the people I grew up with! BEAUTIFUL!
"busy zen" hahaha awesome! So interesting to see all the different life perspectives and philosophies you share on this channel Bryce!! What a truly creative home. Not my personal cup of tea, but absolutely beautiful nonetheless. Love love love that bedroom! And those beautiful wood floors!
This place is magical! Bryce, I love your interviewing style. You give space for the spaces and people to breathe and show us who they are! Thank you for sharing.
This home tops the list of unique living places of all the tiny home channels I've watched. It's beautiful, magical, and creative - as it seems this couple are too.
Magical Bus, Magical Home, Magical People. Love it 💕
FANTASTIC! I absolutely love this bus. This is such a keeper - I swear it's a place I could live as if in a dream world. It's a cross between a museum and second-hand shoppe - a little bit of everything. A wonderful home for a beautiful family. My eyes were literally popping at this one Bryce. Thanks so much for this one! Take care my friend. ;-)
I'm sorry, but the guy is driving me insane with how much he interrupts.
omg same. he needs to let her speak
i thought i was the only one
Omg, I was thinking the same thing. It was driving me nuts too. But the bus is so beautiful and magical😍
They both interrupt each other
I was just thinking that! If I were her I wouldn't be able to stand him when I can barely get a word in. :/
One of the many things that I love about it is that there is so much to look at and enjoy. A treasure on wheels.
This house really touches my soul. Its beautiful.
“You’re a wizard Harry & a thumping good i reckon too!”
Probably my favorite out of all the tiny houses I've ever seen! Truly magical home!!
That is really a sweet bus, it's so cute inside it's unbelievable. Simple living, that's what it's all about, I'm 68 years old an old hippie and still living the simple life and loving it. Cheers their mates, from the states.
This home is so komfortable. This home is alive with love. The sink brought me memories. It's the same one my grandparents had in their kitchen and I used to help out washing dishes when I was a kid. 😻😿
One of the most intersting and magical bus convertions I've seen. Love! 💖
🚍🌄🔮🗡👑💃🏹🗿🎭🕉📚🏺✌💜
I loved how you managed to find every emoji that looks relatable to their aesthetic.
This look and that gypsy caravan from way back when are much more my style. I could never do the minimalist lifestyle - I like having all my suff, especially for art and writing. I also love their looks personally - what awesome tattoos and all.
you mean frenchie's gypsy caravan ? i loved that one ! this bus even more ! :)
Gypsy caravan is the first thing I thought. I have a lot of collected treasures in my house too, so I totally get their clutter. Funny how a rock, drift wood or sea shell will connect you to a moment in time and place
I relate so much to what they are saying about missing a time when what was made had craftsmanship and that each item has this history and life of its own. I once stayed in a 120 yr old stone cottage with a wood burning stovetop and building a fire to make a meal was so special. There’s something to be said for the slower more ancient ways of life. ♥️
This is my FAVORITE tiny home and I never get tired of watching this video! SUCH an inspiration for my own home! 😍🤘🏻
OMG I love it! This is more my style than anything else i've seen!The only problem is the lack of bathroom. I need at least a toilet inside, but that could be worked out.
They said they build an outhouse wherever they park if one is not available.
But where do they shower????
The curiosity shop. Absolutely delightful.
This is my favorite conversion video. I keep coming back and I see new things each time. So many things to enjoy about this story. ❤
Brandon I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw you , it’s Elaine I use to live across the road from you when you were growing up , my house was the two story place , lil and the kids were always swimming at our place . So great to see you , what an amazing home and family you have , you all look so well . Were are you based these days ? . Great to see you , great story from school bus to your special home xxxx
Ella Marson it has info about there page and where to find them in the description box.
@NY UK I'm not following, could you elaborate? Maybe I don't have a sharp eye for that sort of thing.
I love this space and the beauty of these people. This is how I’d like to live my life.
Love the tarot fridge. Reminds me of Moody Blues "Slide Zone". Happiness is always matters and creativity brings the love. Beautiful.🥰
I can see these folks live in the moment. So refreshing.
As a kid I desperately wanted to crawl into the world of an I Spy book and I feel like this home captures that feeling perfectly
Brandon and Jen and family are immensely inspiring. I Loved this so. Many Thanks to you for sharing this vid with us, Bryce.
Oh my gosh they have so much stuff and so excited to share their story. I truly think they are a very active and happy family.
If houses have souls, this bus-house has an old, wise soul. It seriously is the most perfect home I've ever seen! The couple is awesome and I wish them all the best! My style is similar to theirs, and I have tried to create this atmosphere in my house, but I live in a small working class apartment and the overall feel is not the same. Thank you for sharing this!
They have made the space their own and that's what counts. Everything isn't for everybody. They have quite a calm energy and their kids have a lot of wonder and art around them. Funny thing is I can actually picture her belly dancing from one end of the bus to the other every morning.
This is the most amazing home I've ever seen in my life! So so so so GORGEOUS!!!
Maybe one of my favorite episodes! I love their perspective on life, how they organize and honor their home and even how they are raising their kids; SO GOOD🙌🏽❤️❤️
I love the fact that they used recycled materials , found items. They are keeping stuff out of the landfill sites! Good for them.
Wow thats like a place from books that youve read as a child. A mysterious spot with many hidden details.
I really admire them for the way they live. Very creative and just an amazing work of art
Truely a magical home from beyond time and space a wonderful way to live
Adorable people. This CZcams channel restore some hope in humanity.
We're they as enchanting in person as they appear on this video, I love their vibe and philosophy on life!❤ Great video as Always!!
This is so cool. This couple have thought about everything, and I loved the little thing at the back where the kids could play pirates!
i find these two quite fascinating. they have to thank the universe for finding each other
Full of treasures indeed with recycled material and so comfortable. I'm envious. One is def live in
*When your former school bus turns to be your future home* !!!😂
I forgot partway through the video that they were in a bus. Then I was shocked to remember, "Oh my god, it's a bus."
nesekaba I love this bus. I’m an old hippie and I’d like to do the same but less cluttered.
I've seen this video many times....and I think...to me...this is the most fantastic home in the universe! !! I Just love it!❤ ...and fantastic owners too!!! I lived in a bus for a year...and I miss it....but I had no good place to park it.
This is my favorite show. Of all things I have watched in 30 years of my life. Every episode is beautiful.
What a lovely host, the people he meets, what ethics and art and thoughts they put into their living space.
You generate a lot of beauty and inspiration in the world with your show. Bravo
Thanks for showing us this creative tiny house bus, and the family. Kids are well behaved. That's something.
this is like Hogwarts but in gypsy style!!
The character of the bus reminds me of Luna (❦◠‿◠)
Yes If Luna was a bus she would be this bus
Ritsu Frosch are you German?
Because of your Name
I'm also German☺️
Yes I am! ^^
Nice to meet/read you.
I was leaning towards gypsy hobbits.
I love what this couple has done and how they think about recycling found items. Such Gentle Spirits. I learn a lot. The Bus is a Work of Art and a Beautiful Home.
This was Incredible home gave me spirited away vibes on the inside.
Honestly, I'm in my early '70's and I have no creative soul but this is the most wonderful thing. I like it all. I might have to purge a bit to live in it but by golly I really like the colours and textures and the fact that this is really well built. Bravo to you.
Omg I LOVE THEM and THEIR HOME! BY far one of my favorites!! It's so magical, they're so magical. 💖😍
If by magic you mean , creepy voodoo then yes sure
It posted before I finished. It should be in a Home magazine. Pure magic you have there. Good Luck. May the Blessings Go with You and Yours.
Absolutely AMAZING bus & FAMILY.. these parents are raising kids who are conscious & woke! Great job!
Beautiful bus, Beautiful humans 💜👍🌞🐢🔥💜
