![ไม่ต้องมีที่ที่ให้ฉันอยู่ แต่ขอแค่มีฉันอยู่ก็พอ (Spaceless) - getsunova [SHORT FILM]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/MuT0d_cvJkc/mqdefault.jpg)
When she said that she let her 14 yo self decorate started balling my eyes out. Many of us have been robbed of our innocent childhoods, and were forced to grow up too much too fast. In my late 40s and suffocating in this corporate life that I wanted and now that I have it I hate it. Might see ya at the PNWnomadmeetup this year!!!!❤
I would love to meet you at our meet up 🎉🎉🎉 I hope you can be free and travel soon❤
48yr old responding..in corporate..grown up from 5yr old...
“I want it to be the 14 y/o bedroom I never had.” Love that!!
Thank you❤❤❤ I love it too🎉🎉🎉
I agree, I love her home.
Absolutely! So nice!
I LOVE IT!!! I'm so tired of the boring "minimalism" style alot of people are going for!
I love it! She is Me and I am Her! I'm almost done building out my 4 window skoolie..a teacher/full time mom of 5, but we are hitting the road soon! Well done! Thank you Tiny Home Tours!
Thanks for watching and enjoy your travels!!!
Once you start living in your bus it’s happy joy joy
@ArielleMichele I'm just starting on my 4 window skoolie, let the adventures begin!!! If you have any resources particular to 4 window buses, I've been looking and not seeing much. Enjoy!!!!
Thanks for watching!! Hope to see you down the road! :)
Ditto 💗 Love Love Love your van!!!
She has so much in her home, but it isn’t cluttered. I looks like home. You go girl -from a 72 year old grandma.
Aww, Thank you🎉 I love Fannie Mae and Jacq and I love our travels❤🎉
I absolutely love her van and her spirit! May your travels be safe. Much love and many blessings
Thank you so much! 💓
I totally get it "14 YO bedroom she never had". Having a van to be able to live whole traveling is on our bucket list. Can't wait to make it happen.
Stay safe and keep having fun.
You will love the freedom ❤Thanks for watching 🎉❤🎉
I ❤️ that the 14 yr old inner child gets to live out loud! Such a beautiful van with colorful personal touches expertly crafted by MidWest Van Builders out of Fredricktown, MO. Gracie and Jacque are living their best life.
Thanks Deborah ♥️ 🐾💙💙🐾
I didn't realize how big her van was until she was standing at the back showing us the "garage." The van is huge! She can stand up in it, and it truly is a "home." She really prepared, as she custom ordered it, and it's nice to know that she doesn't have to worry about repairs. Being able to retrofit all of her electronics and furniture into the very large space really makes it like an apartment on wheels. A lovely set up, for sure!
Thank you for watching 🎉❤🎉
I love to color those books too. I just turned 50 and i live full time in my Toyota 4 runner.
Who knew we would love coloring so much as adults!!!Safe travels ❤🎉
Now thats a fridge!!
Right!!! Thanks for watching 🎉❤
it sure is
Can you please tell us what kind of fridge you have there? I like its size 👍@@GracieandJacqsAdventures
Good for her!! What a wonderful way to Reward yourself after years of hard work 💜
Thanks🎉
Love her and love her build!! Really like the big fridge and stained glass lotus flower. She’s living life to the fullest! ❤️
Thank you🎉❤
Thank you so much. That is the Isotherm marine fridge. It is discontinued, check out the Isotherm Cruise 195 and Cruise 200
Nicw van build. The German Shepherd looks quite at home in the tiny space.
Thank you so much
Jacq loves to travel and I make sure he gets plenty of ball time, daily🐾💙 Thanks for watching 🎉
if I were going to have a van built, it would be exactly like yours, except instead of a sunglass shelving, I would need a yarn cabinet. :-). Nice van!!
A yarn cabinet is very doable 😂😅 Thanks for stopping by ❤🎉
Fellow nurse here as well; age 59. Love the look of your van. You look 👍. I am hoping to do this very thing, hopefully soon!
Thank you and Happy Nurses week!! I hope you do make the choice to travel! I am so happy I am❤🎉
Gracie is a professional organizer's dream! ♥ When I get my van I hope to hook up with like-minded people like Gracie!
Aww, Ty!!! When you have limited space, organization is key🎉🎉🎉🎉
So cute! She is a happy, happy human. Cheers and love 💕😊
Awww, thanks❤🎉
Love her attitude!!
Thanks🎉❤
65 is not old but I have to say you do not look your age! You have beautiful skin! Love your van and the way you have decorated it.
😂😅Good genes I guess❤ Thanks for watching 🎉
I love your home and your upbeat personality. Way to live your best life. I’m a nurse too and admire your courage and commitment to live the life that’s best for YOU. Safe travels ❤
Thank you and Happy Nurses week! ❤🎉
Good for you Gracie, you made your home on wheels stunning.
I agree, nothing worse than living a lufe doing the same thing every dag.
Now it is time to enjoy and be free.
I love all the colours you chose, the stained glass is such a great idea, the design and layout is so well put together.
So much I love, the fairy lights, crystals, stained glass, the pinks, and your sunglasses shelf.
I hope that you and your fur baby live your best lives ever. Take care Gracie, Im waving from Germany. 🤗👋💜💐🌷🦄🌈🌠
Thank you so much❤🎉❤.. 🐾💙
I love how Jacques does 3 circles and a plop on the bed!
🐶 😍

This is the perfect build, in my opinion. I love that you can walk around without stooping. I wish I had the money, I hope I do soon. I don’t see myself as a full time nomader, but I’d love to have a camper van to travel in. Someday maybe!
I do hope your dreams come true and you are able to camp when you want! Thanks for watching 🎉❤🎉
I love everything about this van!!!! The colors are perfect. I was trying to think of a way to put stained glass in my van and that is a perfect idea!!
I am so glad you like my decor 🎉 Make sure to send me a picture of how you include stain glass in your biild!❤🎉

You're doing so good! I love your Van!! I'm 66 and starting over.trying to make my van livable. Can't stand full in it but something to start with😊😊
Have you seen Bob Wells videos on no build vans??? Very practical 🎉 know you will make it just the way you need it to be❤❤❤
@@GracieandJacqsAdventures yes I'm watching him.got bunch vedios to go.i saw he said something on address thing....thank you for saying that.im trying hard to fix it up😄
I am turning 69. Also a nurse. Still trying to completely retire. Alo VNA/HOSPICE. I know I am not able to care for my home and land, on my own the way it deserves and also live a god rest of my life. Letting go is so difficult, yet I have an overwhelming desire to do as you have done. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for caring for those who are in hospice. It really takes a special person to do that type of nursing and I was not one of them. It does seem overwhelming to let go of your land, home and all the things we collected over the years but trust me, what a weight off my shoulders when I did and I have not looked back!!! I hope you are able to travel and enjoy your freedom 🎉❤🎉
Love her!!! Love the energy, the van - living life as a wonderful adventure - love her philosophy
I was so honored to be a part of making this dream come true.
Thank you so much🎉 I truly am living my best life and I simply love my van❤🎉❤
Sitting in front of a huge collection of sunglasses:
"I have way too many T-shirts"...😂😂
You have made a wonderful HOME on wheels for yourself and Josh ❤
Thansk you for sharing (and for mentioning Bob The Legend)!
Stay safe - Happy travels.
Greeting from Denmark ❤
Thank you so much for watching ❤❤❤

HI Gracie! Thank you, Tiny Home Tours! Love, love, love her van .... and her beautiful dog! I really enjoyed hearing a little about her background, because mine is similar (long career in health care - nursing and occupational therapy). Gracie and I have connected through chats online, and I am so happy to see this tour of her wonderful van set-up. Her spirit is inspiring, and her van is not only functional, but also artistic and fun! I love getting out and about in my own (much more humble) minivan camper, so I can also relate to her love of freedom and adventure! Thanks for the video!
Hi Nanci❤🎉 I hope that we can meet up next winter either in Quartzsite (Jonnie Wil be there) or when I come through California in April of next year!!! Thanks for all the kind words and I hope we can meet up in January 🎉❤🎉
