“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 absolutely love her van and her spirit! May your travels be safe. Much love and many blessings
Thank you so much! 💓
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 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 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 ❤🎉
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 🎉❤🎉
Good for her!! What a wonderful way to Reward yourself after years of hard work 💜
Thanks🎉
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.

Stay safe and keep having fun.

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 ❤🎉

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 🎉❤🎉
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😊😊
Wow, you had such an attentive builder. What a gem!
Lovely van. I’m working at the Providence VA… also a nurse. Small world
That's awesome!! Happy Nurses week 🎉❤ Thanks for watching 🎉
This lady has a great attitude. Happy Travels!
Thank you, and thanks for watching 🎉❤🎉
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 🎉❤🎉
Hello Gracie 👋Still amazed with your build! See you in 30 days...SO EXCITED!!!
Hi Sarah!! I'm headed up to Idaho city 🎉.. can't wait to see you at the O'24 meetup 🎉❤🎉
The best van builder out there 😁 @JonniesJourney. She does amazing work ❤
Thank you so very much
Aww, you know it Mona🎉 Thanks for stopping by ❤
My favorite van builds incorporate color and she has a beautiful balance of soft tone wood and color.
Thank you. It all came together so naturally and my builder had lots of great ideas as well. 🎉❤🎉

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 ❤
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 🎉❤🎉
Gorgeous van 🚐 love 💗 the colours 🟣 especially the stained glass window in the ceiling that’s my kind of van 👍
Thank you, and thanks for watching 🎉❤🎉
So cute! She's living the life!
Thank you for watching. I am very blessed to live this nomad lifestyle 🎉❤🎉
Gracie, I love your color usage. Your van is so warm and gives off good vibes. 👍
Saw your Marine Mom sign!! Just got the sign this weekend for Mothers Day. So crazy Happy Belated Mothers Day 🌺 You deserve the best that life has to offer.
Semper Fi, Mom❤🤍💙🇺🇸🇺🇸 Thanks for watching 🎉

I love everything about this rig! I'm 64 and hoping to move into such a lifestyle, although I would use your sunglasses display rack for my own obsession which is seasonings, so all my bottles and jars of various herbs and spices would go there. I have been cooking "small" for many years and making it work with all my seasonings. 😊
Live your best life!
Yes!!! Thank you for watching ❤🎉❤
