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 YouTube 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

I'm more impressed with her efficient use of space than many expensive builds
-
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 love Alexa and Lady Lavender, they've both got such peaceful energy.
-
I love the idea of having the bed along the side instead of at the back. Beautiful build!
-
So open, so clean, so COLORFUL, SO Creative.. One of my Favorite Builds I've ever seen. I Love the Purple Bus.. Her Art is Great as Well Well Done
-
I LOVE how eclectic her style is, nothing really matches but it somehow all goes together perfectly. I love this bus!
-
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 🩵

Love her, so down to earth! The way she did this so frugally, yet so cute, is awesome! I love how she honors her daddy!🥰
-
I would love to be Alexa’s adopted auntie! She’s got the best vibe and the bus build is amazingly unique. Cool art work! Super proud of this girl’s process, even though I don’t know her. Kudos to her and her supportive dad!
-
Alexa and her bus are just precious!!

Wow her art is amazing you must go to her website! Beautiful bus and a great build such an inspiration!

Beautiful space without over complicated expensive build out
-
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!👏
-
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!)
-
Love Lady Lavender! 💜 She decorated her beautifully! Best bus by far!
-
