In 2018, I produced dozens of video tours and interviewed more than 20 different alternative structures on this blog. This is my 2018 shortlist for the best Tiny House, School Bus Conversion (Schoolie), and Van Conversion of the past year. I hope you’ll continue to check back for more inspiring alternative lifestyle stories in 2019!

BEST OF THE BLOG: TINY HOME
“Tiny Dreamer” House
Jen Fuist’s Illinois based Tiny House, “Tiny Dreamer,” takes the top spot for “Best Tiny House of 2018.” I just loved her story – former hoarder goes tiny, and the design of this tiny space was truley innovative and quirky! She even has a loft for her furbabies (two kitties), which connects to her loft via a long catwalk. READ MORE OF HER STORY.

BEST OF THE BLOG: SCHOOL BUS CONVERSION
“Ellen DegenerBUS”
Randy’s Schoolie was inspired by her love for Ellen Degeneres. The interior is stunning, with copper roof panels and reclaimed wood kitchen counters. The back end of the bus features a fold-out porch, and the exterior paint is colorful and eclectic. I dare you to pass by this bus without a smile on your face! READ MORE HERE.

Paging Adventure Bus
Sam and Jordan renovated an old school bus to live and work on the road. As literary fans, Harry Potter influences can be found throughout this beautiful home, as well as a slide-out bookcase that doubles as a bedroom door.

BEST OF THE BLOG: VAN CONVERSION
Tiny Watts Van
The best van conversion of 2018 goes to Wes and Savannah’s Tiny Watts Van! Like the name suggests, this van is completely off-grid and features some innovative solar technology. Another highlight is the recirculating shower, which uses only 2 gallons of water that continuously recirculates and filters to reduce water consumption. READ MORE HERE.

HONORABLE MENTION
The “Honey Bee” Van
Honorable mention in this category goes across the ocean to the “Honey Bee” van. I rented this van for 9 days as I road triped around Great Britain. The owners were very sweet in letting me enjoy their precious creation. The inside features a super comfy bed, kitchenette, dining area, and a chemical toilet. READ MORE HERE.
