  1. This makes me want to cry with the exceeding amount of joy and excitement (okay, and a little jealousy) that I feel about this! Seriously. This is the best! I’m so stoked that everything turned out so well for you guys!!

      Jen! Thanks for your incredible amount of stoke! The positive vibes you send are overwhelming! Thank you thank you thank you. (And about the jealousy bit, let’s meet up in a park!)

      • Oh, don’t worry! I fully intend to meet up somewhere! I’m certain we’ll be in touch. I’m hoping for Yellowstone and the Tetons at the very least… that’s my home turf!

    Too cool! You’ll never want to come back! I feel like the Bachelor/ette, overuse of the phrase, “That’s AMAZING!” But, hey, it is.

  3. This is AWESOME!!! You have done an amazing job with the renovation and making your Vie the perfect home on the road! Looking forward to following your adventures. (I particularly love the shot of Vladimir sunning himself in the window!)

      haha, he loves his sunny spots. Whenever we come back to the RV he is always curled up in a little cozy sun spot he’s found.

    So cute! I love the decor and the awesome views out the windows. Makes me want to start pulling our trailer soon.

    So. Freaking. Rad. I’m going to have to hit up Uncle Dave for some stainless steel countertops for our new/old camper. Yours look great, and so utilitarian. I might steal the Mason jar idea for the lights as well because, well, adorable.

    • Cees

      Yeah! I am way excited for you guys! That camper looks awesome! By the way, Sterling was the one who pretty much did the mason jar lights one night when we were working on it. See if he can help! haha

    Read about you in NPCA magazine. Love your website, photos, adventures and RV…but most of all I must admit I so totally love your adventure kitty!!! (And that’s saying something because you’re way-to-cool RV is absolutely priceless). We are planning a similar trip for 2019. Thanks for all the inspiration. Profitez de votre belle vie!

      Oh thank you! And we are totally aware that Vlad is the star of this whole show! You are going to LOVE road life! Good luck getting things all put together! Keep us updated on the rig and the plans!

    Hey Guys!

    I have found myself in almost the same exact situation as you were in (recent grad, getting married soon, and just bought a 1987 coachmen to renovate and live out of)! I absolutely love the small mason jar lights that you installed under the cabinets to replace the standard RV lights. But, in all my searching I can’t figure out how to make them to save my life! Can you let me in on your secret??

    Thank you!!! You guys are totes rad!

      Savannah!

      So fun you are renovating a little RV! As far as our “secret” on the lights… there isn’t all that much to it. We just used a nail to break through the middle of the lid, and then used some tin snips (but some heavy duty scissors could work probably?) and cut the hole just big enough for just the light bulb socket and wiring to slip through. Then we screwed the lid top (with the other part of the lid attached as well) to the cabinet or wall. Then, we are able just to hand screw the jar in place over the light bulb!

      Hope this helped! haha Good luck!
