    I really love the intentional vibes he created for each space!! I was hysterical when he was showing off the record player/cassette tape/CD player... the 1900s!!! 😂😂 I was saying that these newer generations will never know the struggle of the pencil or pen in the holes to wind up the tape of it came out... so many things from our generation...VHS tapes, too!! He did an amazing job with his tiny airbnb's!! I love almost the live plants as well, bringing the outdoors in, and it gives that cozy home vibe!!

  • @triciac.3792
    @triciac.3792 Год назад +92

    Omg, I remember him! I live in the Bay Area, and if I remember correctly, I saw him on the news. He was talking about his tiny home, how he AirBnb’s it out and how this was his main income now. I’ve loved tiny homes for a while, and I remember telling my husband about “the guy on the news who AirBnB’s a tiny home out of his backyard, and pays his mortgage with the money he makes.” (That’s pretty freaking impressive, because we live in a very expensive area) l. I didn’t realize he has 2 tiny homes, and a converted garage! SO cool, and smart. Also, each one was so unique, and different.
    Awesome video!

  • @DawnOldham
    @DawnOldham Год назад +89

    You are such a hard worker with such a vision and so much initiative!
    I love the look of what you've done inside each space. My first thought is that I'd call you an entrepreneur who has interior design skills! You're very artistic within your homes!
    Since you mentioned that you loved the tiny home on wheels and could live in it, I wondered if you could maximize your profit by living in that tiny house. You could jazz up your 800+ square ft home, as you have the others, and then rent it out for an even higher price. Last, I agree that some landscaping would finish the aesthetic, when/if you have the extra cash flow. Great video! Awesome man with an awesome laugh!

    Yes, he's an artist. Loved how he transformed the garage. Also, two Tiny Homes on his property being used as Air BnB. Who would have thunk it.🤔 Nicely done.

    Each space is so cleverly thought out and pretty cool. I’m surprised that he was allowed to add all of these units to his property. I don’t think that this would be allowed in Canada, though it should be due to the current housing crisis. Well done sir.

    Ansel, I love your channel and your converted ROI tiny lux hotels. You are a true creator and interior designer. Oh, I have a dual induction cooktop unit too. I use it constantly along with my portable convection oven. The standard-size oven is used for storage! Again, great job. Yes, I have hit that subscribe button. lol

    Just WOW. Ansel is beyond talented - his interior designs are the best I have ever seen. The artwork is stunning, loving the wall of plants, and the interior in the first home is GORGEOUS. You should start your own interior design business Ansel.
