Young Artist Transforms An Old Bus Into A Magical Tiny Home

- This is a tiny house like no other we have seen before. An old bus, no longer drivable, has been transported onto a beautiful section and given new life as an artists tiny home amongst the trees.
The bus sits in place almost as if a forgotten relic, slowly being overtaken by the beauty of nature and the surrounding flora. The first signs of habitation shimmer from the spectacular outdoor living area, glistening with thousands of fairy lights which surround the place and add to an otherworldly feeling.
Upon entering the bus, there is a distinct feeling as though you’ve been transported to another world. Beautifully styled in a whimsical fashion, the tiny house is immediately warm and welcoming. The large windows help to retain the impression of being surrounded by nature while remaining protected inside the structure.
Chelsea, an artist, created this space not only as a place to live, but also a place to create and to be inspired. The result, simply magical.
We hope you enjoy the tour of this unusual and beautiful tiny home. You can follow Chelsea and her artistic adventures via her socials here: linktr.ee/stud...

This tiny home is nothing short of enchanting. I love the way that the bus almost looks as though it's being reclaimed by nature. And how beautiful is that stunning outdoor area that Chelsea has created!? This home is certainly a work of art. We hope you enjoy the tour! With Love, Bryce & Rasa
I love YOUR tiny home so much it's so petit but practical. I watched all your videos and the way you guys edit the opening of all the videos is so well done.❤❤❤
So much care and attention came into crafting this tiny house. Though for me personally there was just too much going on that I felt anxious watching all of it and imagining what it’s like to live in a place like this.
I’m glad for her that she built a home that works for her and gives her joy.
Magical fairy land. Spectacular serenity.
That has got to be the most beautiful tiny house I have ever seen! Makes me want to become visit!! It looks nice and cool in the summer, here in Arizona USA I live in the desert where right now it's in the hundreds LOL I totally love her outdoor space. Thank you so much for sharing
I loved that it had an outdoor/vintage vibe and that it was AFFORDABLE. Thanks for sharing such a unique home!
"Not being in a hurry but finding things when they show up." Great advice for everything in life and thank you for the reminder
I love when things just show up.
I find this most often happens when I have just happily and innocently described something that would be really awesome for my life and then have forgotten about saying that.
Pure magic, beauty, and artistry. And inspiring
Yes, I love being a finder of things needed. I say it out loud and sometimes it arrives right away but other times it takes awhile
Finally, a nice tiny home that doesn’t cost 50k+ or relies solely on family to provide space or funds. Definitely back to the roots of the movement.
for sure, nice comment.
Yeah... this it
It’s like a breath of fresh air, isn’t it? What the movement started out as before it got “trendy.”
Did she buy the land?
Bryce you are a fantastic interviewer. You ask quite engaged questions but without taking over all the talking. That’s a gift man.
So beautifully put, Vegesaurus7. The more time I spend on watching podcasts, I've come to understand how few people are as skilled as Bryce in drawing people out..."without taking over."
The reason why I’m following this channel for years 👌🏻🫶🏻
😢goodnight
Agreed
So true! He knows that the people we get to meet are just as important as the houses.
If you were to give an award for a tiny home, this would win "Best Bus Creation".
One of the most unique, beautifully thought out conversations I’ve ever seen. This girl really is the definition of “artist”. I’m so inspired by her. Thank you Chelsea for allowing us to visit your slice of paradise.🤗🙏
Beyond Artist, I would say she is an ART Master!
Thank you :) It's an ever evolving project, I love it.
So cute. It's like you were shipwrecked and stranded on a tropical island then stumbled upon a bus and old freight from an English manor. Love it!
What a great imagination… write that story!
Yaaaaaassss!
When the bathroom door opened, Bryce and I said "OH WOW!" at exactly the same time! 🤣 It's stunning! The whole bus is pure magic! Well done. ⭐💚⭐💚⭐
Green would look nice i think too
I also said WOW ❤❤❤❤
@@tammycruz8189 wasn't it beautiful Tammy!
Me too, not only my favourite colour, it is so stylish and classy.
That shower is gorgeously done too.
Loved the entire home inside and outside.
😊
haha same!!!
The world is so noisy; I can’t imagine living in such a peaceful place. What a beautiful home you’ve created. You’re an inspiration.
This type of conversion is exactly the reason I became interested in tiny houses. It's just so fun and unique and creative and still well thought out and livable.
And affordable! So many tiny houses recently shown online have been well over $150,000!
I have to agree that it is so refreshing from all the "standard" builds for tiny homes, where it seems to me there is so much potential for innovation and creativity!
In Denmark this is what we would call ‘hyggeligt’. Warm and cozy, a happy place 😊
Perfect description! English needs a word like that
I love that, thank you for sharing!
I visited in July! Denmark is beautiful it makes sense they have the word for this!!
@@redrum5542 Love your name btw. Redrum 😄
On the one hand, I am absolutely in love with the absolute creativity of Chelsea's home - the warmth, the character, the charm, the way it nestles into its environment looking like it has grown from the earth. On the other hand I am deepy saddened that this is such an exception, and that our rules make it such that it is very hard for people to emulate this process, and that it is so hard for young people to survive, much less to thrive, and engage their creative juices in this way. I am so grateful to all those tiny home enthusiasts who are paving the way and helping change the rules so that more people have these opportunities to express themselves in designing and building homes that make sense in today's world. Thanks so much for bringing us Chelsea's beautiful home and environment and for being such a voice for the tiny home movement for so long! And thank you Chelsea for sharing this inspiring space and story!
Agreed. The fact that Tiny Houses have to exist period is disgusting. People shouldn't be forced to live in a hallway sized area to be able to "live" let alone thrive. But the generations before us did their best to screw us over and boy did they,so now this is becoming a need which is again sad.
@@kelseybordeaux9206 Just some nuance to your comment... Some people love tiny houses and really don't want anything bigger.
This is so true. I hope to give people a bit of inspiration to create an affordable little home of their own in a time where it has become increasingly out of reach to have your own "house" in a traditional sense of the word. We adapt and we grow.
We have to thank zoning laws for the banal cookie cutter homes so many of us are forced to live in. In many areas, a home like Chelsea's wouldn't be approved because it wouldn't meet zoning regulations that require a certain amount of square footage, structural regulations that dictate building materials, engineering "standards" that dictate how things are put together and how large or small various parts of the house must be, etc.
@@kelseybordeaux9206Living tiny isn't just an affordability issue, it is an environmental sustainability one. I would love a tiny but live in Montréal, Canada where it isn't allowed. I bought an upper duplex that is less 1,200 sq ft. Really the only small place I can buy outside a condo. It is just too large for one person. I would be content with half that. I don't even want a large plot of land. I am happy with my balcony (one is sufficient but I have two). Large homes are meant to be for larger families. I find it utterly ridiculous (to each their own) where you have a single person or married couple with no children living in a very large home. Their extra rooms have become a place of storage and junk. This is why I see tiny homes not just for people starting out in the housing market, but for those that are empty nesters and retired. It's a great way to downsize and reduce your carbon footprint as well as the stress and complications of maintaining a larger home. I don't want to spend most of my free time cleaning and mowing the lawn. I work a demanding job and just want to go home and chill.
This is why the world needs artists. I found this amazingly inspiring. Thank you.
Loved it. Chelsea's home is a mirror of her soul. If I could have my life over, this is exactly what I would have done. Chelsea, you laser focus on realizing your dreams is an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your light and home with us. I always notice that Bryce's heart expands with joy whenever he sees inner beauty echoed in a whimsical Tiny Home.
A mirror of her soul.. exactly! You have said this all very well
Thank you so much, that's so kind :) It's incredible to have been given this opportunity to spread inspiration through Bryce and Rasa. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This video appeared at the perfect time for me. I’ve been worried that something like this might never be possible for me because of costs, since the tiny houses have exploded in price. I love the outdoors like she does and love that the outdoors pretty much hug her and the bus, envelope her in their embrace. And I love all her windows. Thanks for appearing to me at the right time and giving me hope and inspiration.
The entire space she's created for herself is beautiful. It is very reminiscent of an enchanted forest. Very inspirational spaces. ❤
Her bus 🚌 really suits her personality. That bus 🚌 design with the older furniture, the layout, the outdoor living space, etc... it feels like an actual home🏠... and does NOT feel like it's a bus 🚍🚌. When watching videos over the years of all sorts of tiny homes, homes on wheels, etc... this is the one that felt the most like it was an actual house 🏠. She did an amazing job on this.
Thank you! It was very important for me that it didn't feel like a caravan but like a lush little cottage.
Have only seen half of the video yet, but I have to say: This is not a Bus, this is not a tiny house, this is a FAIRY TALE!!!😁 Incredible, what this lady has created. I just want to be there and watch every detail. I love it!! Thank you so much for showing - now I will watch the rest ....😉
Now that I saw the whole video I can only repeat my words. It is magical, wonderful, I think the lovliest home that I've seen on this channel. And she did it all by herself, what a talent! And Bryce, you found the most lovliest words at the end. Thanks again for showing this magical place. I wish her all the best luck with her life and her plans 🧡 🍀 greetings from Germany
thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
Bryce needs to be a talk show host. Probably the most gifted person I've seen giving interviews. Also, this lady's house is absolutely magical! And I am so jealous of her magical fairyland bus!
Best bus I've ever seen. Buses always seem to be much of a muchness but this is exceptional.
artistic approach)
Indeed.
The beautiful lighting is fantastic.
But then, I don't like bright lights, but this is so good.
What a stunning, creative, magical space she has created in this tiny. The jewel tones, vintage furniture and raw wood combo is fabulous. This is Arabian Nights, the Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, Harry Potter and Stardust all rolled into one.
hahaha I love that description, thank you so much!
This has got to be the most magical tiny house ever shown on this channel. Period.
Yep, my thoughts exactly. Period. 😉
awh, thank you
@studiolomandra it's gorgeous! How do you heat it? Where is the power box? And Grey water?
I watch alot of channels involving homes etc. Can I just say how much I enjoyed this woman and her home. The extremely extravagant and wasteful spacious show houses to me are nothing more than hollow tasteless money pits. Most of them are demolished after being abandoned and left to deteriorate beyond repair. Kudos to all who prefer comfort and peace of mind over a need to impress!
It’s a beautiful mini house & an art gallery at the same time which is incredible for such a talented young woman ..
Wow Bryce you hit the jackpot. People who have plenty of money build wonderful Tiny Houses but Chelsea has built her dream (and mine too I think) with her own hands, within a budget, within nature within her heart. With the help of family and friends she has filled her gorgeous home with everything which appealed to her, spreading hers and other artists art throughout the home to make it just that...a home.. well done Chelsea.. continue to follow your dream.. Only thing missing is a pet :)
@@jennyc1846 Awwh! My sentiments exactly 🥲
Thank you so much :) There is a dog around that belongs to the land owners. He joins me for a tea every day.
@@studiolomandra Hi Chelsea then you need a cat, someone of your own to cuddle on a cold dark night :) . Really enjoyed your episode thanks again.
I Just love everything I saw in that tiny house. This young lady certainly knows how to combine her art with nature.
Agree. This home is beautiful and full of love as well. It is refreshing to see such a gorgeous home compared to some of the bland minimalist homes shown so often.
Sometimes Bryce and Rasa, you find a home that really moves me and makes my heart and soul explode with rainbows of joy!
This Tiny home design is truly one in a billion! Just WOW! The entire design is amazing and beyond beautiful because it’s so unique. She is so talented. And What a treasure box of artwork! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The bus looks like a jewel at night with the lights on. Love that outdoor space!
This might be the coolest tiny home/bus I've ever seen. This artist did a fantastic job in creating such a cozy space that is so functional. And the shower!!
This bus is the perfect combination of vintage and creative and whimsical and magic ❤ Well done, Chelsea!
Touched by how happy it's made Bryce, let alone the artist :)
This is the BEST bus conversion i have seen , everything is thoughtful and unique , outside space and the garden . I have rewatched this 3 times in a row. Stellar . Chelsea is awesome 💚💚💚
This has to be my most favorite parking spot... the way the bus is nestled amongst the trees is truly enchanting. The inside is stunning! I am quite envious of those beautiful wooden slabs. I don't think I have seen this much art in a tiny home. Spectacular! Good on you Chelsea!
That young lady needs to build a tiny community it would be magical for sure Thank you for sharing this beautiful treasure
The lighted evening view of her little paradise through the woods was indeed magical, as if forest fairies would peek out of the windows and surrounding herself with her own artwork is something I have done, retired now and not painting as much, I put my soul into my gardening making that eclectic lifetime of collecting something that I alone can enjoy...she has a lifetime ahead of her...and a great head on her shoulders to accomplish that vision...thanks for sharing this little gem...!
Such a warm video and I love that she did almost everything herself for a reeaaally good price.❤️ That's what living big in a tiny house is about. 🥰🌿
We’ve been watching your videos for years and this is one of the best yet. Chelsea has created a magical home for herself. Very inspiring woman.
This bus is sooo unique. She did a great job with this "tiny house". I love her break out space and the garden. Once we were inside the bus, I was in awe!!! I love the kitchen, I love the roll top desk, I love the turtle collection, and the little settee couch. I did not see an air conditioner nor closet. She did talk about the storage drawers she had built. I guess her closet is the small wardrobe unit. I also loved her hand carved basin in her bathroom that her uncle made for her. It is beautiful. Her home is great and very unique. She says bus life helps her slow down and is very peaceful. Brisbane is beautiful also. Chelsea, "Thank you" for sharing your home with us.
I am so impressed with what she had done! Such charm! That deck is gorgeous too. Her artwork is truly phenomenal!
Best bus makeover ive ever seen. What an amazingly talented young lady she is !! Enjoy your freedom , solitude, and creative haven ❤❤❤
I think this bus is awesome! I love she painted it green and filled it with plants!
Your show brings me so much inner peace. Whenever I’m feeling out of balance, I just watch one or two of your episodes and I’m back to being grounded.😊 The Tiny community is amazing.
Amazing home! It truly does have magic in it. I didn’t learn about curating one’s life to one’s own vision, rather than fitting into societal norms, until I was much older. Now retired, I admire this young woman’s ability to know what she wants and find a path to creating it. I’m so impressed.
Don't we all end up that way. So whenever someone dares to walk their own path, have to appreciate the courage.
That is so sweet, thank you
This has to be the most fearless recycle or upcycle(?) I have ever seen. She bought a freaking bus, put it in a living space and buoy it into s home without knowledge of what she was doing just being guided by her videos and artistic spirit. Nicely done.
Just beautiful...like a fairy garden.
This is possibly the best build I’ve ever seen. Everything from how she arranged it to how she decorated it is perfect!
Wowza! This young lady is certainly talented, but also such a deep thinker and so resourceful! Wish her much success! Her sense of design is amazing!
I don't think I've ever commented on this channel, but I just have to say that this is the most beautiful tiny house I've ever seen!
What is fantastic is that it’s a gift to us all as well , in the most authentic way! Thanks Bryce!
Yes--I've been trying to find words to describe my reaction to Chelsea's home. It is a gift and totally authentic. Thank you for finding the words.
I agree. Well put, thank you.
This is one of the most beautiful homes I've ever witnessed ❤❤❤
A beautiful and original home. It’s a little hard for me to deal with the lack of privacy at night, and as an American, I am wed to a washer and dryer. I can’t live without them. But her home is magnificent.
I know! I luv her charming, little abode, but I don’t know if she had any blinds or curtains!! Maybe she did snd I just failed to see them. Did u see any?? And must confess, I think I would be scared out in the woods by myself. If someone not so nice come around, I hope she would have some way to defend herself!
@@foofookachoo1136Things are a bit different beyond the US. I live in a wooded country and the last thing you'd ever worry about in the woods is privacy and human predators. It's just not a risk worth considering. I would be freaked out in the US though, it's just lightyears from many other realities in nature. We also didn't get a description of the land she's on.
It may be accessible only through other property, or a hectare of wilderness where there arent people around at all.
Magical says it very nicely!!
I love what Chelsea has done here as well as her art and gentle presentation.
Absolutely love this bus and the surroundings.
It's like an illustration come to life. Such a beautiful and bespoke home. That parking spot is gorgeous too.
Magical and charming indeed. I feel like little fairies should be flying around. Wonderful tiny home Chelsea. Very well thought out and creative with your designs. Love it.
This is Queensland - believe me, there'll be huge mosquitoes the size of little fairies flying around!
WOW! This bus is the most GORGEOUS and just magical tiny home I have ever seen. The outdoor space just adds so much to it! Truly beautiful and the tiles on the main body of the shower are GORGEOUS!!!! nOT A FAN OF YELLOW, BUT THAT YELLOW IN THE TILES AND THE OTHER TILES ARE GORGEOUS....
Love all the vintage touches. She is incredibly talented.
One of the nicest and most comfortably warm styled tiny homes ever! ❤
Now I just wanna go buy lots of mood lamps 😅 for my cabin
Absolutely charming! So well created...so cozy. Astounded at the affordable amount she spent to build this magical home. Shows what patience & truely knowing yourself can create. Blessings to Chelsea & her beautiful home. Thank you for sharing❤😊
Absolutely Beautiful and Brilliant Bus converted in to a colourful cheerful home. Continued Blessings to this young lady. 🙏
Oh my word, what a stunning home. Very clever and creative young lady. I wish her all the best.
Oh dear. This is so magical and beautiful and inspiring to the soul. I would immediately move into this. That’s living full of enchantment!!! 🌿🍄
Love love LOVE this one! Chelsea, I'm in awe of your beautiful house! There's no part of it that is not packed with art and personality and color. Thank you for making it and for sharing it with others. You're amazing.
Just so beautiful. What an amazing, inspiring, creative space. One, if not the best, tiny home to feature on this channel. Can see why Bryce is gushing over it.
This is my favourite tiny house I’ve seen on this channel so far. Absolutely stunning inside and out.
Gorgeous. Unique. Cozy. Colorful. Earthy. Perfect.
Easily one of my favorite tiny houses I've ever seen (and trust me, I watch a lot of them)
Beautiful, just beautiful! 1 suggestion: Don't paint the toilet green. Consider a faux wood paint job. B4 porcelain toilets, there were wooden toilets; this would be in keeping with the decor of the period. 😉
I was thinking similar. You could even glue wood veneer around the bowl and top and sides of the seat. Either way, I'd probably leave the seat, underside of the lid and bowl white, as I've found that you can see what you're cleaning that way!
I have absolutely considered this! Maybe even a little mossy tree stump with sculpted fungus!
Paint it to look like a tree trunk!
And if it were me I would also re think the white ceiling
This bus is really amazing. Feels like a warm blanket. So cozy and calming.
This is hands down my favorite tiny house I’ve ever seen! As an artist and a practicing witch and pagan- this home has provided me with so much inspiration. I love all the wood, art, vintage furniture, and the color scheme. The natural light in that place must be unparalleled! Wow! Tucked in the forest- truly a magical place! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!
I love how the counter is raised above the breakfront. The light peaking thru is lovely!
Very very beautiful colourful magical home. ❤. Could just see all the beautiful spirit fairys dancing around the bus with Joy and love. Your gifted for sure..❤. Lots love put into your wonderful fairy home ❤
I was so taken by her process of “her practice as an artist” … it really resonated w me - as a potter… gardener, and as a yogini … life itself is but a practice 🦋
WOW! WOW! Such a beautiful space it shouts freedom and to live in the forest as well, Your bathroom is so elegant and colourful. I'm not an artist but I do love colour, and the colour of your bed are like jewels. Your artwork is amazing, it is also like a fairy kingdom both inside and out of your tiny bus home. Love, Love Love it💖
Peaceful and so elegant…the energy is perfect.
I love the Victorian-vibe of dark green paint and rich wood colours! So fresh to see a tiny space that is not all white!!!!!!! The plants also add to that Victorian feel. And that bathroom!
Artistic garden home, Bryce always knows the perfect words to describe each home and it's uniqueness. ❤
Love it, absolutely fantastic way to live. Cheers to the young artist.
So beautiful! She must have an amazing eye and character. Well done!
She represents the best of the next generation. Bravo
This is quite lovely, but without mains services would be very different indeed to live in. Very fortunate lady to have the opportunity to place her home here.
One of my favourite of your videos. Love this woman's philosophy around her art. Superb.
an artist through and through... I love the way that Chelsea has made the bus her own. The lay out, the choice of furniture and everything else that we saw reflects her artistic soul...really beautiful. Thank you Chelsea for sharing your creation with us...as a fellow artist, I'm really proud and inspired by you!
Words fail me,well almost 😂. This young lady is gifted in so many ways . Im uttery AMAZED by all the things that she can do. The work creating her home,her gardening skills,she made a beautiful blanket,her paintings make me green with envy....and she can cook. I'd love a daughter in law like her. Are you free poppet? I have a lovely son if your interested ❤ps we are Italian and live in Italy and southern Spain. Come and visit us.x
The DIY tiny homes are always my favorites. I love seeing the creativity in reusing materials. This bus looks so cozy!
New lbth upload=another happy day, and a big smile on my face. Thanks for your consistent tours Bryce! Olive green will never lose its charm.
The only word my brain kept repeating through this video was "magical".
Magical, very talented and grounded person.
This is absolutely stunning and a complete work of art. Fair play to you Chelsea!
Her own style and achieved with her own hard work and patience. When she gets to her own land and can go off grid it will be even better. A job well done. Cheers
To create something like this, you need two things, great taste and unique style. This lady has both, by the bucket load. Fabulous! ❤❤❤
What a jewel box of a home. Marvelous.
loved this. i spotted the granny square blanket straight away, ive been crocheting for about a year. it was lovely she taught her friends and family how to crochet a granny square to create the blanket, thats such a beautiful idea. xxx
Bryce, you were definitely in your element , with this space , love her art work !
This is all I want in life. I'm feeling trapped right now, working to pay off debt, working a job I despise that pays somewhat decently. I just want to live in a space like this, somewhere where I feel inspired everyday to create, a space where I am just content to exist. I don't care about making a ton of money, but I want enough to do this and travel and only do work that is mostly meaningful to me. I've been obsessed with the tiny home movement for ten years, I can't wait to have one of my own someday. thanks for sharing these, it really is inspiring
Exquisitely thought-out space. Bravo Chelsea; thank you Bryce!
This is the best bus I have seen! My absolute favorite. Just my style. My dream here. Thank you for sharing.
I love this tiny home! Cosy, welcoming and beautifully decorated 😍
It is so charming and full of personality from the artist owner! I love it so much! She gets to keep all these little trinkets and artworks with many stories in her own lovely space!
That might just be the best bus yet! Well Done!
Absolutely stunning, what a dream to create a space of peace and harmony. Follow your dreams and be blessed
Her home is really magical. Kudos to her!
She is so amazingly creative and kind. I am pleased to see this as an artist (Mom), dreaming of creating a life similar to what she is making for herself. I absolutely loved this episode, and her work of art on this bus turned into a beautiful, peaceful home. That bathroom is stunning!
