That tub faucet going into a stock tank

Antique copper soaking tub would be better, but it would cost more than the bus.

Re: Design Das Mel's Bus Committee

Oh my dog those PRICES! Are these seriously in houses? These are seriously in houses. Holy sheet.

There is no price for the seashell bathroom sink. Which makes me both happy and sad, weirdly enough.

And I always DID have a thing for those Japanese hammered copper tubs but the upkeep would be MONSTROUS (and that priiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice).

So, uh, y'all DO know I live way under the poverty line, right?

Someone is going to find the hand carved mother of pearl inlaid cabinetry, I just KNOW it.

Re: Design Das Mel's Bus Committee

I thought this was a nice subtle exterior. Think she would have any problem getting into a commercial campground?



See the WHOLE truck here

Re: Design Das Mel's Bus Committee

Seriously, she likes this bed. We will probably make one similar to it. The tassled net is a fairly simple thing to make and her's would be more like a hand tied fish net (or hit Hobby Lobby and buy a decorative fish net). Need to add a few sea shells and coloured "net floats" to it. I have a set of graduated clear plastic christmas ornaments that I need to tint with a translucent paint then macrame a netting to make a set of "glass net floats" to drag around in our bus. Got to get the materials bought and all put together to see how it looks. If mine turn out looking good, we will use the same method for 'Tace's bus decor.

shiney things.....Mel back to task at hand

what if we use old books for insulation and thermal breaks ????
.
.
.
I picture gluing back covers all over the walls, so all you had to do was walk up and open one to read

.
.
.
then I pictured hitting the brakes or full throttle onto freeway it might take off with all the flapping

I like that bed, change up paint colors and use a lot of goldleaf

Re: Design Das Mel's Bus Committee

That bed is cool. Bookshelves on the back side of those side panels, TONS of storage underneath.

Put a big heavy curtain across the front for a small space to heat/cool while sleeping (which could be day or night with that much light control).
