We're Karol & Austin !! Karol is a jewelry maker/designer and Austin is a full time musician/singer-songwriter. We got married in September of '21. After debating whether or not we should anchor down and buy a house, we decided that our lifestyle and professions both lent themselves to a nomadic lifestyle. So we bought a van and built it out over the course of two months. We've been living, traveling and working out of it full-time since July of 2021. Join us on our journey ! ONWARD…
🚨UPDATE🚨 Our van is still for sale with an updated price. Check out the listing below !

It is sooooo incredibly hard to find actually RUSTIC van build videos. THANK YOU! It looks AMAZING ❤👏
First van build to actually excute wood centric themeing well. Well done
The red lights are actually super useful for night time. Sailors use them at night on watch because the red light makes it so our eyes don't have to adjust between dark and light so they can scan for ships at sea but still have enough light to see on their boat. I've seen people use them in vans and campers tho because it's nice being able to see where you're going at night to get up for a late night pee without having to fully awake and adjust yout eyes!😅
That’s a beautiful rig… also, these guys really enjoy each other…
This is the 2nd van I’ve seen with darker wood colour inside and I like it. Warm, cozy look and that’s important when you spending time in a small space.
Beautifully built, well thought out, very cosy. (I held the record for the most burnt pots in the neighborhood!!)
Just as so many of my van channels have ended van life, you guys came along! Thank you so I don't go through van content withdrawel.
Hands down, the most beautiful interior I've seen in a van build. Just awesome!
By far the most beautiful van build I've ever seen. Clean, rustic and feels like home. So much better than all the other builds I've seen that are all sterile and do not feel inviting to live and thrive in.
I would sleep for days in this van. Nicest, coziest build I've seen by far!
I love the build, but man, let's talk about those videography skills! Super professional looking! Nice job!
I love that you have closet space as well as bathroom. I do wonder how far you can travel with your glasses stacked that way especially the wine glasses 🤔
This is the most beautiful van I have ever seen.
This is definitely in my top 5 camper builds of all time. This has given me so much inspiration to the style I'm trying to bring into my truck camper renovation.
This is the most beautiful van ive ever seen
I love the rich and rustic colors and feel of the interior! Saving for inspiration.
That van is deceptively big inside! ❤
You certainly thought of EVERYTHING. Well done!!
Absolutely gorgeous. Most beautiful build I've seen. Wood is gorgeous.
The van is awesome! I love it! But more than that, I really enjoyed your tour/commentary/ overall personalities. You 2 should have your own show. That was totally awesome! 😊👍🏾

OhMyGosh you two are total sweethearts I'm not sure what I love most , you or the van😊 you two rock. Don't ya ever change .
I love the decor of this van! Yes, I could see myself living in a van like this one ❤! I love their style. I'm from the country of SC, black female, and I am into this van! Love it! I am a country girl!!
The color of the wood makes it seem so warm! Amazing.
Ok I have watch lots of these, but I have not followed anyone until now! You guys are so funny and love the way interact to one another. Looking forward to seeing more, you guys stay happy because it makes others happy!
Wow. I have looked at so many van builds and this one is my absolute favorite.

Best van built ever absolutely love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤it!!!!!!
Excellent original build beats Ikea on wheels 😆
That build is epic! That’s some crazy character in the build. Great job!
Cindy says " You guys did a Fantastic job with your build! You have a Beautiful home !"
Very talented build without being pretentious - excellent job guys.
Obsessed with the projector screen setup in front of your bed
Thanks Karol and Austin! Absolutely charming ❤
SMASHINGLY GORGEOUS 😍 PARTY ON ✌️
And keep the videos coming so your channel could grow ❤
Totally amazing! I’d enjoy watching your next build if you could video it.❤❤
This couple made the tour interesting. I actually watched til the end. Congrats on your new life.
Build me one...best van conversion I've seen
Who did your build? I LOVE this. Can’t wait for some stories… and…. music…and…. jewelry shop offers!!!
You two are cute... I don't usually watch a whole episode of a van design.
Best Van build I seen
This is definitely one of my very favorite builds. The dark wood is gorgeous, I love the fringe covering the storage area and all the beautiful details are esthetically pleasing. It looks like a cozy cabin inside.

No, it is not aesthetically pleasing. It is redneck and ugly. Hollywood glam is aesthetically pleasing, redneck.
Gorgeous van!❤
I have seen bunches of vans over the years, this is truly on the top for character and quality, wish I had that talent for woodworking 😎✌️
Oh my GOODNESS!! hands down you have the best tiny- home-van- life, VAN I've ever seen! I'm a KZread Vanlife junky & I drive a 71' VW bus named Larry, you've really made a beautiful home! Thank you for sharing it with us! Safe Travels to you
Most beautiful and inspirational van build ever!! You two are such adorable and beautiful souls!! I drive a 1981 Dodge Ram B250 which I left with all the original wood paneling and added my own vintage western decor as well. Blessings to you both from the Canadian prairies. I will be sure to check out your amazing jewellery and music!🎶🤠✨🐾
I love your van! Everything is just perfect
Must say this is the most liveable one I've seen yet. 👍 Nice
I absolutely LOVE this van! The best l have seen!
Your van is absolutely beautiful. One of the best I’ve seen! Love all the wood and rustic feel.
I enjoy your cheerful dispositions the two you's! Your van is very nice, and you two's are quite creative and capable so thank you for sharing! I like how you both have your own creative mode of dress instead of just cladding yourselves in the requisite adventure/"look at me I work out" clothing! That's refreshing!
That is the coolest van I’ve seen to date👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏✌🏻
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Love the cabin look and the bathroom!
Outside the box, love it!
The most aesthetically pleasing van I’ve seen. Can’t wait to see the next one.

Nailed it !! 🔨
This is beautiful. It's a cabin on wheels. I love it!! ❤❤❤
Love your build, but love your sense of humor even more. I am sure anyone hanging out with you would have a fabulous time,(and a couple adult beverages)LOL 😂❤❤
Beautiful!! Perfect! This is my dream ❤
I follow alot of van life people but this one is the best I've seen! ❤❤❤
Really like the rustic cabin wood look in the van. It's a bit dark, but still very pretty! It sure looks to me like you have every necessity for life on the road in that relatively tiny space! Good luck with your new build!!
Wow, your guys design is amazing. I just would have added a skylight in shower area with push up for venting. As well more windows in the bedroom with an extended sunroof in bed area. Other than that, it's good. Maybe a locked flat screen from ceiling with couch area to watch TV while eating.
Absolutely beautiful home!! Congratulations! You guys thought of everything. This is the first van I’ve seen that I felt I could live happily in! I’m much older now, & am no longer able to do this. But you guys are living the life I often dreamed of. Wishing you much happiness always!
Awesome build and it beautiful for 2 beautiful people!!!
Safety Alert… You should have your propane in an air tight box!!!! Propane will vent in to your van and can be DEADLY!!! Propane is heavier than air. The box must vent out the floor of your van. This can be done with a larger size PVC pipe and caulk. Run a 2nd PVC pipe through the floor along the outside of the box to a vent into the top of the box. As the propane drops out the bottom of your van, the top vent replaces it with fresh air for better flow. Make sure you don’t put the two vent pipes close together. Put screen over the bottom of the pipes to keep out bugs. Really like your van!

Thanks for the insight ! We strategically placed our propane detector low for that exact reason. After living in it for two years, we haven’t had any detection. We also generally turn the propane off when we’re not using it. Cheers !

@@sunriseskies3883 I'm about 85% done building my van. It's fun and I learned a lot. Propane will vent because of temp change and altitude. You don't store it properly it could be the last thing you do. Have a good one.
This is sooooo cool!!! You guys did an amazing job

Thank you so much ! We followed along with your build and heavily relied upon your lighting/wiring video when building ours :)
You two are so in sync. Loved your energy & your van! Love the extra touches like the bottle cap opener. Can't wait to see more. Safe travels.
I absolutely LOVE the wood cabin look. Really nice 😍
Very, very nice and I know it smells good in there.
Beautiful this decor. We've seen a lot but this one is our favourite. You have good taste. Gr Sharon and John de Rijk from the Netherlands
Greetings from Upstate New York. Truly impressed by such a beautiful set up. Well done. Take care.😊
wow this will be my main inspiration when i eventually get a van
I have to say the way you two have styled your van is one of my favorites. Enjoy your travels. Merry Christmas
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you so very much for sharing. Now you’ve given me something more to look forward to and my goal is now set.
Fabulous! Thanks for the tour!💚
I love the slide window over the sink. And to actually have a bathroom is good too. Everything looks nice. 👍👍👍👍
Love the rustic look
BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!!!! 😃
I love it, such a homey feel to it, very natural and lived in. You guys didn't absolutely beautiful job.
A great build. Luv the details of the rustic aesthetic.
I’m ridiculously jealous of your kitchen…. Absolutely incredible! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love that it’s like a cabin inside. So cozy
Great van
Calling dibs on the guest seat!! Such a fun tour...keep the videos coming!
Found out about this channel from your comment from TTTHEFINEPRINTTT. I love the fact that you have an actual shower in your van. One of the few vans with a shower built seamlessly. Wonderful build. Yall keep safe out there.
A beautiful wood cabin on wheels! So rustic and cozy I love it! You guys did an amazing job!
Love your energy and the cozy van that you built. Definitely following. One Love 🧡🙏🏽💯
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. Enjoy😊
Gorgeous van! Cozy, beautiful cabinetry with the dark wood! Charming patriotic couple🤩
Great job, very beautifully done. I think RV makers should have a look. Most RVs have ugly modern interior designs. Great job
I would love to have this van! The detail is amazing!
