Barnorama All Fun In The Barn
There is a new trend out there known as the “tiny house movement” which advocates that smaller, humble homes are the way of the future. Whether you agree with that logic or not, one man named Dipa Vasudeva Das decided to be especially thrifty and conjured up his own quaint little mobile home out of an old beat-down van.
How did he do it? Well, you’ll just have to see it for yourself.
There is a new trend out there known as the “tiny house movement” which advocates that smaller, humble homes are the way of the future. Whether you agree with that logic or not, one man named Dipa Vasudeva Das decided to be especially thrifty and conjured up his own quaint little mobile home out of an old beat-down van.
How did he do it? Well, you’ll just have to see it for yourself.
With the goal of creating a traveling home, Dipa initially framed everything out while adding plenty of spaces for much-needed future storage.
A skylight was added for some natural light to liven up the place.
With the frame complete, he added intricate wood paneling throughout the entire mobile home.
All the furniture is built in to the existing frame and walls.
Making the most of every square inch, below each door is a pull-out drawer providing even more storage space.
Behind the door (on the interior of the van) is a space under the floorboards that allows you to stand while using a hidden sink.
Seen here is the back of the van.
The back has a patio for chilling with friends as well as a compartment to hide a bicycle or two.
A cozy little spot to get some work done.
This area also doubles as a bedroom.
Tucked underneath the floorboards is a small dinner table to accommodate up to four people.
A fireplace seems ludicrous in a small little space such as this, and yet here one sits.
The fireplace even has its own built-in insulated chimney for safety, of course.
Even more storage space.
The final product is really impressive given that it all started out from a barren, old van.
