Cutting, staining and putting shiplap on the back doors of our Sprinter van, took longer than we anticipated but came out better than expected! We also created a square frame around a circle window! Just goes to show what a little elbow grease and dedication can do! Let us know in the comments what you decide to do to your van doors!
Follow along on our journey while we build out a van, travel the world and Encompass Adventure!!
