Making an entrance!🕺💃 A homely doormat for muddy boots or soggy sandals is a #campervan essential. Oh and a rug. Just...because 💁‍♀️😁 Selfbuiltadventure.com #camper #campervanconversion #vanconversion #vanlife #vanlifeideas #vanlifeproject #homeonwheels #vanlifecommunity #vanlifediaries #doormat #doorway #welcome #shoesoffplease https://www.instagram.com/p/CDj_i1vp0Sn/?igshid=5z92n6v1fos2

Been loving the coverage of past Glastonbury performances on the beeb. We were supposed to be there, #campervan in tow. It's going to be one spectacular party next year though... This is a #throwback to when we saw Elbow there in 2014. Sublime. #glastonbury #glastonburyfestival #elbow #settingsun #livemusic #thebest https://www.instagram.com/p/CB7xf1qJVdc/?igshid=ki0c346ayonk

First trip out for lunch in our newly built #van! What a view too 🤩 From one castle to another. Certainly beats the driveway. Hope you have enjoyed your week so far.

This tells you all you need to know about UK weather... 😅 Check out our little foldaway coat pegs and dimmer switch though! 👍 selfbuiltadventure.com #camperconversion #campervan #vanconversion #vanlife #vanlifediaries #vanlifeproject #vanlifeideas #spacesaving #coat #coatpegs #packaway #britishweather #britishweatherproblems #prepared https://www.instagram.com/p/CBv59dKJGCg/?igshid=7lk618vp3bj0

Not a bad little set up to start the working week! We were inspired to add some curtains at the backdoors and they've made a huge difference in keeping a lot of the heat out but allowing the fresh air in ☁️☁️☁️ Selfbuiltadventure.com #van #campervan #campervanideas #vanconversion #campervanconversion #selfbuild #diycamper #vanlife #vanlifediaries #vanlifeideas #vanlifeproject #vanlifecommunity #camperlife #camper #diyproject #builtnotbought #progress https://www.instagram.com/p/CBtS_rHJaWH/?igshid=q0nw7zw7lyfb

From when we visited Stonehenge last year. Amazing to think these stones were brought to Wiltshire from Wales! It's such an ancient, atmospheric and powerful landscape - we loved our visit and can't wait to return when we can. Happy summer solstice everyone 🌞 @englishheritage #stonehenge #summersolstice #wiltshire #travel #uk #britain #britishlandscape #travelphotography #photosofbritain #capturingbritain #englishcountryside https://www.instagram.com/p/CBptIxOJkqj/?igshid=hbb8msi4sq3p

Throwback to a sunnier day today 🌤️ We love this little spot in the #van. We refer to it as our chaise longue 👸🤴🤗 Plenty of seating and storage was really important to us, and this is the perfect place for a book or an afternoon snooze. We think every van needs a chaise longue! What's your favourite spot in your van? #campervan #campervanconversion #vanconversion #diycamper #vanlife #vanlifediaries #vanlifeproject #vanlifeideas #vanbuild #builtnotbought #sunnydays #windowseat #snooze #chaiselongue https://www.instagram.com/p/CBkoZwcpn2u/?igshid=1uqoivxriu2kv

Solving the sliding door 🤔🧐 We struggled with fixtures and fittings mainly. Many standard curtain and blind fittings seem to either be too large, or not secure enough to take the opening and closing of the door. Some curtain wire and a couple of pieces of stripwood later - we are pretty pleased with the result. They aren't going anywhere!

Textiles going in! The #van is starting to feel a lot more like home now. We've gone for a mixture of patterns in natural blues and greens 🌍🌿 What's your colour scheme? selfbuiltadventure.com @campervaninspo #campervan #campervanconversion #vanconversion #vanlife #vanlifediaries #vanlifeproject #vanlifeideas #campervaninterior #colourscheme #interiordesign #interiorstyling #nature #chillout https://www.instagram.com/p/CBYDp7zJhLE/?igshid=15o8iwljas0yj

How our bed works 💪 We wanted to maximise space as much as possible in the #van - so adding a hinge at the back means we get tonnes of under bed storage. Very handy for the big stuff like #camping tables and chairs 🍴🍽️🪑 Selfbuiltadventure.com #campervan #campervanconversion #vanconversion #diy #diyproject #diycamper #vanlife #vanlifeproject #vanlifeideas #campervanbuild #vanlifediaries #homeonwheels #bed #storage #storageideas #smallspaces #smallspaceliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CBP04eLHTui/?igshid=1h8ahmbf6tz8u

Boo! 🙋‍♀️ Hope your week has got off to a great start? We've been busy cleaning the van ready to move our stuff in! Cleaning isn't very exciting though - so we thought we'd share a pic of Dani sawing a hole in the roof instead 💁 Selfbuiltadventure.com #campervan #diycamper #vanconversion #campervanconversion #vanlife #vanlifediaries #vanlifeproject #vanlifecommunity #van #adventure #skylight #peekaboo #roof #rooflife https://www.instagram.com/p/CBMA-oBpAmG/?igshid=1m0guuoxoa5z

More little adjustments in the van. The teeny boat window has been repainted, mini curtain back in 😍 and the tea towel holders are up! 🙌 Who's for #tea?
