VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Welcome aboard the "Lady Lavender" - a creative oasis on wheels, crafted by the talented and frugal artist, Alexa! 🚌🎨
Dive into this unique tiny home on a bus, transformed by Alexa with a focus on economical and recycled materials. Discover how a string from a pair of pajamas becomes a handy tool for hanging essentials, and how reclaimed wood breathes new life into her living space.
🍳 In the kitchen, marvel at a thrift store find turned into a sink and range station, exuding a white, roughed-up aesthetic that Alexa adores. The sink, a gift from her grandfather, holds sentimental value, being sourced from a 1974 Volkswagen camper van. Alexa's frugality shines through in her choices, from the economical Amazon faucet to the practical hot plate, ensuring her culinary space is both charming and functional.
🔌 Embrace simplicity in power and water systems, with the bus running on 120 volts and hooked to shore power like an RV. The gray water holding tank underneath the bus exemplifies efficient tiny living.
🛏️ Explore the open-concept living area, featuring a multi-purpose bed, an upcycled dresser from Alexa’s parents, and a desk art area crafted from pine from her parents' property. The bus’s rustic charm is enhanced by tongue and groove wood from an old barn, used for the outdoor door and complemented by a basic composting toilet.
📚 Alexa’s passion for reading and art is evident in her mini library and cozy bathtub area. The DIY rhombus cube tile design in the bath, using recycled tiles from her granny’s bathroom, showcases her artistic flair and resourcefulness.
💭 Driven by her dream of an art studio on wheels, Alexa shares her journey from finding the bus on Craigslist to transforming it with her dad’s help. With a total conversion cost of around $7,700, including the bus purchase, her story is an inspiring example of pursuing dreams on a budget.
🌈 Currently a full-time artist in Frost Proof, Florida, Alexa invites you to explore her art at Wildflower Studios and through her social media channels. Follow her journey on Instagram at Alexa Art Room and on KZread under the same name.
Join Alexa in her uniquely crafted haven, a testament to following your dreams and living life on your own terms. 🌸 #LadyLavenderBus #TinyHomeArtStudio #FrugalLivingOnWheels

Everything blends in ,it's beautiful
I love Alexa and Lady Lavender, they've both got such peaceful energy.
Your bus conversion is one of the most unique yet practical designs I've seen on you tube. I love it. I never thought of having a bathtub in a bus conversion. But as you stated it is an RV bathtub, and it just makes sense. Plus, having no walls really gives the sense of an open and roomy living space. 👍
I prefer a bath tub as well. It can be a sink or can be a place to wash your clothes. I also mostly take my showers crauching so a shower isn’t a nessesity to me. Love the bus how it’s not ikea all the way. It’s made with attention and love. She is living my dream and i wish her the best 🩵
I LOVE how eclectic her style is, nothing really matches but it somehow all goes together perfectly. I love this bus!

"Down to earth" is wierd term in here.

This is the VERY first layout I've seen that has come close to how I want my home on wheels. Surrounding windows with an open floor concept! It's absolutely perfect!👏
Living the dream! Big thanks to her dad for helping her reach her dream!
Wow her art is amazing you must go to her website! Beautiful bus and a great build such an inspiration!

Thank you so much!!
Sweet tile work. You could add a shower curtain over the tub, as an option and a place to hang wet things inside. A tub is a luxury, and that is so nice. I love your re-use of the dressers. I love to reuse as many things as i can. It feels good.
I always enjoy seeing these school buses being turned into tiny houses on wheels and of course how the insides look like and they are always really awesome and thank you.🇺🇲👋🚌🚌👋🇺🇲
Beautiful! Wouldn't change a thing!
I really like your bus. And you're right, not having any walls just changes the whole atmosphere.

Right?! Thank you!
Yeeesss! My kinda gal and my kinda ride. 😎 Hurray for fellow artists!
Love Lady Lavender! 💜 She decorated her beautifully! Best bus by far!
This is almost exactly how I envisioned my future bus build! I love it so much! On my end though, would add 2 more seats for my child and maybe spouse (but don't really want him to come along...cuz I like my own adventures!)
Appreciate all the beauty of refurbishing. Natural wood is gorgeous.
Absolutely beautiful 👌 a totally amazing build 🙌❤️🙌
Absolutely beautiful! I love the recycled items. Good work Daddy.
Her art is beautiful.

I love listening to her appreciating her daddy's talent. Beautiful build!
I love your bus and the artwork that I could see. You are definitely a free spirit and a very talented artist. Wish I lived in your state cause I'd love to meet you and just have a chat.❤❤❤❤❤
I love your space. Very neat and clean too. Good idea sell your art for extra income.👍

The dresser is fabulous!
I LOVE this layout. The open concept is so freeing and makes it feel spacious. Plus, I’ve never seen a tub in bus build but I think it’s a cozy, homey idea. Who doesn’t want to treat themselves to a warm bath after a long day?
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
She did a great job, love her layout and her artwork is just lovely
You're such a nice person.
I LOVEIT, IF I WENT FREE THAT WOULD BE ME, Y GO GIRL
such a good daddy 💜 great open plan and details!
Gorgeous Gal n Rig . Safe Travels Always ❤❤
Love it!
Love it 🥰 My favorite color!!! I can see with how much love was made
Love your bus. It's a small bus, but inside it looks large. I love that you have a bathtub inside and large counter space. It looks like a house more than a bus, because you have actual furniture.

Yeah!! It’s a pretty big space considering it’s a short bus. That is why I didn’t want walls, it keeps the space bigger. 😊
Transforming the dresser to sing /range was brilliant. It's beautifully unique;

You and your bus are just lovely!! I mean that in the deepest sense of the word. For some reason, I feel deeply moved by the space you have created. It feels like you, who you are, has been projected or sent out into this beautiful space you call your home. Thank you for sharing this.

Wow, thank you so much 🥹🥹✨💜
This is exactly the kind of build i want to do, with mostly reclaimed materials ❤ i gotta find a bus or van first
i converted my shortbus and everything i got from marketplace and restore! Beautiful bus!
Well done. Great use of recycled materials. 1st build I've reviewed with a bathtub. That alone wins the prize. Happy trails.
I love your set up. I like all the shelving you have and your counters.
A very nicely designed bus/art studio on wheels!
I think the whole build is great! The idea to put the bed/couch where it is, just perfect! Australia o
I'm an artist. I'm retired, now, so I'm looking for a bus. Glad you're living the dream so young. Life got in the way, so I didn't get to study art until I was in my 40's. I get inspiration from other skoolies. You go girl!!
What an absolutely brilliant design and execution! It's so comfortable and bright and cheery. Great job, Alexa! I wish you many happy and productive years following your passion. Thanks for sharing it.
Love this bus. Lavender is such a calming color.
You have a beautiful home Alexa!!

Love it all. The furnishings, the bed on the side, which is what I would do and the colour of the bus.
Your van is beautiful ❤
I love the bus, love her artwork and love her Georgia roots, same as me. Frostproof is an hour and a half from me. ‘Hoping to take a day trip to see her artwork. If others are your auntie, I’ll be your grandmama!
I absolutely adore this. It's lovely to see an artist living free and being creative ❤
very unique and pretty at the same time
Love your bus, your style, and your personality
I really love this bus. Alexa is so creative and unique ❤
