A woman turned an old bus into a tiny magical home, a true “forest retreat,” and has been living in the woods for several years, far from civilization 😲.
She added a luxurious bed, a practical kitchen corner, and even a shower inside the bus 😍. All of this was done with her own hands 😱.
Curious to see this spectacular transformation? Take a look inside this little gem ⬇️⬇️⬇️.
A young artist passionate about sustainable living and creativity converted an old bus into a small home.
Chelsea named this project “Forest Bus Home” to embrace an economical lifestyle while pursuing her artistic projects.
The old Mercedes bus, tucked deep in a forested area, was transformed into a cozy, nature-inspired tiny house. Painted in a green hue, it blends seamlessly with its surroundings.
Chelsea has been living in this bus for a few years after initially experimenting with a smaller one. Switching to bus life allowed her to dedicate time to her artistic endeavors fully.
The cost of converting the old bus into a tiny home was between $10,000 and $13,000, showcasing Chelsea’s patience and resourcefulness in selecting items that best fit the space.
The Mercedes Nambucca is an 11-meter-long bus that she found after a thorough search on Marketplace. She was charmed by its double doors and large panoramic windows, giving it a unique character.
This transformation was a true tiny house creation project. Chelsea carried it out step by step, learning along the way. For the more complex tasks, such as carpentry and plumbing, she relied on the invaluable help of her family and friends.
Chelsea took care to preserve some of the bus’s original parts, such as the dashboard and handmade light fixtures, to honor its history.
The outdoor area serves as a relaxation spot where visitors can be hosted or work on their projects while enjoying the surrounding nature.
Chelsea’s bus is connected to an electricity and water network, though she plans to explore off-grid options in the future.
Inside, she has created a unique and inspiring space adorned with handcrafted items she has collected over the years.
