BRILLIANT FLOOR PLAN FOR A VAN -TOUR! Turn YOUR VAN Into an AMAZING, EFFICIENT HOME! – Tour
Diane lives full-time in a beautiful 2015 Ford Transit that she designed HERSELF! This is a 2015 Ford Transit 250 with a Mid Rise Roof with 600W of tiltable solar AND HEATED FLOORS! This van design includes a fantastic closet, a hidden fridge, a hidden deck, a cute pantry and a hidden garage! Diane owned a closet design company for 20 years, so when she moved into her van, she knew exactly how to organize her space! And WOW….she did an INSPIRATIONAL, PHENOMENAL job on getting it organized. It is cozy, warm and has a super-efficient use of space and great use of her repurposed furniture! We hope Diane has inspired you with SO MANY FANTASTIC IDEAS for storage in your vehicle!

Very well done.!
Love the side door wall
The deck
I love her set-up! It’s very cute and functional.
Yes, the raised floor with slideout deck is a good addition. Using the sidedoor as storage is a jump from the norm.
Good interview and presentation.
Oh, my gosh! That lady is so creative. I love her outside deck and the heated floors, and I really like the little ladder that tucks into the side of her side-garage-space. I didn’t hear if she had a social media channel. I have to go back and check.
She seems to sweet….What a great person!!
My husband added heated floors in our cargo trailer/camper. It does help on a chilly day. I love her deck, especially the artwork. Well done.
Wow!!! Awesome!!!👠🚌👠
Absolutely the best van I have seen!
Great design of space. Well done Diane.
This was amazing. Loved that she recycled furniture.. happy travels!!
Love the deck. What a great idea
That walling in the side door is something I would never have thought of but it really opens up many design possibilities doing it that way; if I had to pick one thing that is my favorite because that and raising floor makes the other design elements possible like the garage and deck. Great job and I love the name of her YT channel, Cultivating Life. I’m not sure why but it makes me think of a gardening show I like, Growing a Greener World.
The old furniture was great idea
Loved the rear deck.. and use of solar power. ❤
You have to be careful I would get rid of that accordion ladder they will collapse….
My favorite thing is the charm of having real furniture.
loved loved the deck
loved everyting in her van
Cat litter disposal can. Genius for toilet with some ingenuity.
The bed being on the side
Diane is a GENIUS !!!!!!!!!!!
I loved the deck and the purple chair
The lovely little deck is fab! With her legless chair, she can lounge like a pirate queen! Just add a big mug of tea……
Brilliant, but how does she cook? She mentioned she was having an issue with her solar? Perhaps adding another battery? The system was not shown during the video. If it was , perhaps someone might be able to help.
Love the deck and the cute little dog
The deck! Is my favorite. The solid (door) wall, smart idea. And slim bed for extra floor space.
I love you van my favorite thing was your backpack how amazing that was bon voyage stay safe
It’s so funny, on bad days I look at this house and imagine "What would I take with me if I were going to leave this place?" I couldn’t live with this much stuff that’s not folded or anything, so I guess I’m not ready for this. The garage was brilliant and well organized. Good job on that and the back deck.
What an interesting woman.❤
❤Love the deck!
mine is also built sideways vs filling the back, etc
so much more room to move around and live in the van. beautifully done.
Wow, the beautifully painted deck and the gaming chair! Googling the chair right now!!
Love the whole thing. The raised floor, the deck, the large counter. Looks like a great place to live. Thank you.
lovely woman – very nice how she organized things. Love how she had that old case from her grandmother in the van. Also the garage is incredibly spacious! I find it really empowering that you give women (senior women) a place on your channel. It inspires tremendously, it is a tribute to women like Diane here, and it gives poeple HOPE! What a wonderful way to mae this place a better world! Than you botjh very much!! Jason
The storage space she has is incredible with that rear entrance, very impressive.
I loved it all, because it is unique and organic. The repurposing and how it is incorporated in the layout, makes her home very comfy and cozy. The deck … WOW .. . amazing feature! I have been watching you since 2020, and can say, this is one of my favorite builds. From Denver, CO.
Incredible job Diane & thanx for the tour. Id love to take to the road & live LIFE out there. My kids r grown n honestly have nothing holding me back at this point. I love camping & traveling throughout the USA. I own a jeep commander & a popup camper that i treasure & stocked w/absolutely everything id need for this lifestyle, sorta was my plan but now have issues with my body that hinders my physical mobility. I can walk yet have severe hip, lower back pain & neuropathy in my feet ive been neglecting for 4yrs. I see a dr next wk & hope & pray to fix it. Seen your video on the harvesting/nomad work & would love to do that! I will contact them if this works out at the drs appointment. ☺ take good care & enjoy that freedom!!
Deck would be so nice to sit outside in the evening. Thanks Bob for the tour.And we thank the lady for sharing her ideas!
"Lots" of cute ideas! Thank you!
what a gorgeous build and what a lovely woman! i love the idea of people going camping with her, i think she said as part of an airbnb experience
I get she was once a “closet organizer” but I honestly didn’t see anything organized just seemed like a lot of clutter I’m a true minimalist and this van build and storage just overwhelmed me, but what do I know 🤷🏽♀️
Overall ambience created with color and furniture ,,so good.
Awesome organizing. Amazing use of space.
I love the build, like the pocket for the chair best, followed very close by the deck. The deck colors and her design is beautiful.
I’ve loved this build from the first time I saw it!
Beautiful ❤️
Thanks Bob for having this nice lady on your show. She used a lot of good ideas. See you on the next one.
I am watching and trying to decide how to turn my custom hitop into my home. The rear entry gives me so many ideas, not the typical. That may be updating redo. As my bed is already in as is across the back. Want to use and try and decide, like so many recomend. Keeping heirlooms is a sentimental part of me.
The deck was very cool and artwork design very beautiful
