Our tiny school bus kitchen is an amazing place to cook nearly every meal We will soon even have recipes & cooking videos filmed right here on the black walnut live edge countertop.
In other news, Farmer V is set for a HUGE blog revamp in the New Year! This will include more organized content, regular posts, how-tos and infographics. It may also entail a new host (no longer Tumblr) and a completely new look.
Any thoughts, ideas, or feedback? Post it in the comments or email me at [email protected]
This bus conversion was undoubtedly the most challenging project I’ve ever undertaken with someone. Now it’s “done” (always a work in progress though). We hit the road in 2 DAYS and I will be back with regular updates, literature, and diversified posts for all my lovely blog followers out there.
While I was prepping the cushions for this bench, I realized we haven’t showed y’all the slat bed design! . Throughout the build we have applied #permaculture principles to our design… namely: Stacking Functions. . Now, we can all agree that aesthetics will always count as a function (because art enhances a space so much!!), but we hope to make sure that every element of #magpiethebus is also dynamic & multifunctional. . This design incorporated:
1) couch/bench seating for 1-4 2) instrument storage underneath 3) pull-out slat bed (about twin size but better than nothing for our guests) 4) shoe and miscellaneous storage on the end 5) end piece will also serve as an arm rest and cup holders… stay tuned to see how the end piece “stacks” even more functions… 6) oh yeah, and it doesn’t look too shabby does it? Wait till those cushions are on there
The current state of the bus! Electrical, ceiling, kitchen, toilet, and then (finally) the finishing touches of curtains, cushions & shelves. We are putting in as many hours as possible, despite our wild summer schedules & long days of farming. Soon enough, Magpie will be finished and we will be on the road to a simpler life!
