Tiny House: A Converted Bus.....




Small.... but so perfectly formed!!

This stunning 1981 Ford Econoline bus has been converted into a traveling home and it currently resides in San Francisco, California.... although it is up for sale.... yes please!!!


What i really love about this bus conversion is the wooden interior, it feel like a little log cabin on wheels....

Rolling homes: The Winnebago of.... Liz Morrow

Brave: The Winnebago home of Blogger Liz Morrow
There is that stunning quilt from Urban Outfitters!

It is a wild miserable rainy evening here in the south West of England and nothing seem further away than the beautiful sunshine filled days of summer. That is why I have decided to share a couple of images of 'Brave' the Winnebago is owned by blogger Liz Morrow from Delightfully Tacky.

This bus is anything but Tacky.... it is a total dream isnt it?  Ever since i saw Jamie Lee Curtis's Winnebago in My Girl I have had a dream of owning one of these beauties..... one day

Hope it is sunny and glourious where you are

Rolling Homes: An Awesome School Bus Conversion...






 How stunning is this old school bus conversion found over at Tiny House Swoon?

I love the vintage vibe of this bus, it reminds me of the conversions from Rolling Homes, a book of campers and conversions from the 1970's . The woodwork tiling is really something else and i would love to see the morning light through that stained glass window!!

Campers, Vans, Buses and Wagons...

Bus conversion
Van conversion

We have a VW Campervan that is pretty much permanently off road. He is a beauty but he is also very very expensive to maintain so it looks like we are going to sell him. It does make me sad to think of someone else having him but he really does need a good home and to be looked after by someone with at least £5,000 to invest.

One day when I am rich with a good disposable income I will buy another... and a houseboat

Stealth Pickup Camper


"I took a 7 week coast to coast road trip after being laid off from Boeing. I didn’t have a camper but realized that being able to pull off the road at a rest or truck stop was the way to go to make the trip affordable. With a few sheets of 1/2” plywood and misc. hardware this is what I came up with. The effort was well worth the time and materials."

The thing I love about blogging is finding so many like minded souls. I get comments and emails from so many people with wonderfully inspiring blogs and I think it is about time I highlight a few.  So I would like to start by drawing your attention to two such blogs, run by my favourite male bloggers Keith and Lloyd.

The first is the lovely Keith with his blog the flying tortoise, I thoroughly recommend putting some time aside to brew a coffee, sit back and scroll through his blog. The post above is inspired by Keiths post on the same book Rolling homes by Jane lidz (1979).

The second is a blog owed by Lloyd Kahn (the editor-in-chief of Shelter publications). Lloyds blog is marvellous and has always got some interesting handmade houses/boats/caravans etc... and again is well worth investing some time to have a good scroll.

I have named the post after one of my all time favourite songs, see below.
