[@katewest130]

I’m 65. Can’t tell you how impressed I am that a 20-something woman converted the van. Just the cabin construction alone is an amazing feat. Congratulations.

[@jess.ursulean]

yes! i agree

[@esc2spc]

I wonder if you would say the same if it was a 20-something man. Be careful, your sexism is showing.

[@RoeRoe123]

​@@esc2spcI understand what you're saying but you are also generalizing. Young women (Gen Z) are just now stepping out and becoming more independent in as much as building, etc. I'm 64 and had ABSOLUTELY NO OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN TRADES, even my own brother and father didn't think women "belonged" in them. After 2 divorces and working at 2 of the largest companies in the area and getting screwed...I went out and learned every dam thing I could. I can dig septic lines, lay water lines, install a water tank and pump under my house. I can dig footers, lay foundations if I choose but I dislike doing brick and block. I'm a stone Mason and tile installer (30 years) one of the best in my area. I can frame houses, roof a house, do some finish carpentry, hang wall paper, paint, build an entire tile or stone shower including building my own mud floor pan and drain all the way up (which many "men" can't) since I've only seen 2 other "Real" tile ladies in my area and like many men, they didn't know how to build out a shower either. Yeah...I can do a lot and I STILL CAN'T DO THE ELECTRICAL THIS BRILLIANT YOUNG LADY DID. Myself and the original commenter are from an entirely different generation so we are entitled to speak with others as our knowledge and opportunities were acquired along with a steel spine that comes from hearing "you're a girl, you can't do that". Me... I'll show you 😏 just watch. Listening isn't just hearing, it's understanding where someone else is speaking from. Be kind.

[@RoeRoe123]

I'm 64 and thinking the same thing. And I love her design.

[@eeelizabethh95]

Well she’s an adult ….not that impressive for a “20 something women” 😅

[@gsaliceti]

You are adorably smart and entertaining, I’ve enjoyed this more than any other tour I’ve seen before. Be safe and enjoy life

[@JuliaBrooke]

Wow, thank you so much🥹💙

[@debbiedebbie9473]

I'm SUPER IMPRESSED. This van build is a gorgeous, comfortable home. And you and your cat are adorable. Be really proud of yourself. ❤❤❤❤

[@jessip4937]

Oh sugar...you DID THAT!!! Okay!!! I see you!!! Honey I think design is your callin!!! Seriously though, you did this!!! Thank you for being a positive role model for your peers and the younger generation...well done❤️❤️❤️

[@JuliaBrooke]

Thank you so much, wow. You are too kind❤️

[@middi6]

I think if it were me I would have swapped the wardrobe for a shower and loo room and used the underbed for storage for clothes and books but the general aesthetic of your van was beautiful.

[@marthasusanaaguilargarcia3981]

Ciertamente porque no supe realmente dónde se toma una ducha

[@kmb9144]

I agree with you 100% I don't understand why no one wouldn't want a bathroom in a van a lot of people priorities is in the wrong place to me but this is their van

[@kmb9144]

​@@marthasusanaaguilargarcia3981looking at Van life people I noticed they want a lovely place to cook but have no bathroom shower outside pull the toilet from under the bed very unsanitary to me the bands be beautiful but this is their life

[@pilgrimsspiritualvoyage6252]

I thought the EXACT same thing!

[@cindypollard7972]

You are very gifted. You made a beautiful home in your van. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@toobydude41]

What a monumental undertaking. I can't even. You're a one woman wrecking crew. Just amazing. Memories of a lifetime are going to be made in that lovely home on wheels for sure. And you deserve them all.

[@ShadeTreeKennyT]

I can't get over how nice your van is Julia, you did an amazing job! It looks so comfortable and relaxing!

[@JuliaBrooke]

Thank you Kenny! Have you been traveling at all lately? I heard it’s been snowing up there! I’m currently in Florida far away from any cold weather!😅

[@ShadeTreeKennyT]

@@JuliaBrooke unfortunately I'm still waiting on my van. The end of this month will be a year ago that I ordered it! Have fun in Florida, up here in Pittsburgh it's cold, not much snow though so getting a break with that!

[@JuliaBrooke]

@@ShadeTreeKennyT that’s frustrating, hopefully it arrives soon🙏🏼

[@miaaim3373]

this is my dream life🤧 i can’t wait to see myself making it happen one day. literally in love with your van and it’s so cozy and what fascinates me the most is the fact that everything seems organized and not messy(i’m saying it cuz i’ve watched A LOT of van tours, and they all be so messed up with a lot of unnecessary things). so yeah i might take ur van design as an inspo🤭🫶

[@RuthMTuff]

Beautiful, yet functional design. Love the touch the lace curtains, the gilded gold mirror, and the marble add. Congrats on doing the work yourself!! Happy travels.

[@rayhowell1852]

You did all that yourself? You are one amazing lady!!!! I love your build out, you did a great job on it!!!! Hope to see more videos, be blessed girl!!!!

[@LexiL31]

Wait I’m obsessed with this lay out, so open and cozy! You are my new inspiration for this years journey of getting a van 🤍

[@sherryannwilton76]

Gorgeous tiny home, super sweet, simple , clean, cozy everything a Miss an a kitty cat needs. Beautiful. Precious Tabby cat tooo. -Bless fam. : )

[@mars_the_raccoon]

I love that you include maui with everything by saying "we" instead of "me/i"

[@victoriaveeart]

im so happy that you finally finished it!! it looks so amazing and I get you! some ppl like to make a quick set up and thats okay but for me having a space that feels like home and comfy with aesthetics def helps with the mental health!!!

[@JuliaBrooke]

Exactly omg I know it sounds silly but if a living place doesn't feel cozy then my head goes nuts! So glad I'm not the only one who feels this way😭❤️

[@fionaj77]

Beautiful van home and gorgeous kitty!! 🐱💖🐱💖 Be proud to be a bookworm! Reading is awesome and you have great taste!

[@druellapartee2010]

I would love to chronicle and record a positive transition from being a Resident in a Nursing Home to an RV Van life since personal space would not be an issue compared to what I have now… Not to mention I could cook for myself… Have My Own Bathroom… Have a Bigger Bed with Peace & Quiet!😊🌹

[@tracykay6803]

It’s so, so pretty & cozy! You’re going to create a lot of beautiful moments, for sure!

[@JuliaBrooke]

I hope so🙏🏼

[@clearlyseverely3155]

I love this build and you've done a great job. I do want to say that foreign stool introduced into the environment in high concentrations can actually throw off the pH balance of the soil and attached bodies of water-- a huge contributor to blue/green algae blooms and spikes in lakes are increased nitrates in the surrounding soil from heavy dog paths.

[@SRtruth]

Agree, pet waste should be packed out.

[@zsaiya]

doing a solo van build is one of my dreams I LOVE to see that there are other people who have done the same

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good evening Julia. Excellent video with super production values. Thanks for sharing. Glad to see you're doing well these days You've definitely convinced me to join the cottagecore movement. That being said, thanks so much for the tour of your cozy van and your wonderful nomadic lifestyle living and camping in the Great Outdoors.😍😍

[@TaraTiaraBell]

Stunning absolutely stunning, she did a fantastic job. The kitchen is fab and that bed looks so cosy.

[@simranchoudhary8192]

This is the most sorted, beautiful and managed van I have ever seen and also the aesthetic ❤️🦋 just wow . Your van tour makes me wanna live in a van✨🔥

[@C.C.J.1975]

Your my new favorite since others that were originally have seemingly stopped van life😊

[@anshuvyas9382]

I am amazed...Started disinterested thinking just a young pretty gal showing off a one off Van... And as the tour went ahead Lemme say I am so so impressed... Wow...🎉

[@dawnsnyder216]

Awesome build. Very encouraging to see a young woman building one

[@QuizCity2]

Beautiful well thought out build. I love that you're switches are right by the bed. Adding that to our build

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

You’ve made such an cozy home for yourself and your kitty cat. Great job! I wish you all the best in your future as you drive to your next adventure. Peace ✌🏽 ❤

[@moorandmoon]

this is beyond adorable, I love it! the green in that kitchen is so gorgeous. the vibes are spectacular 🙌🧡🧡

[@PWade-tr7cd]

Carbon monoxide is heavier than air. Carbon monoxide detectors work best at floor level.

[@nicksandteddy]

I love this! 😍The builds you have done are so impressive! I cant get over the kitchen set up with a full oven!! Also the sink search battle is so relatable, why is it the hardest thing to find for van life?!?!

[@JuliaBrooke]

Tysm🥹❤️ and YES omg I feel like anything kitchen related for a van is a whole mission to find😭

[@ritawoodfork3086]

Lovely home - so cozy and comfy! You have a great talent and skill which shows in this build. Stay safe and blessed out on the road! Best.

[@vernaferguson2783]

I lived in a RV for 2years I a top for the oven. Get a pizza stone and put on the bottom rack and then a pizza baking pan upside on top it. This will help a great deal with spotty burning situation if you have that problem. I found the pizza stone online the stone we found had to be chipped a bit to fit. That alone helped but adding the air gap of the upside down pizza pan too really made it like a normal oven.

[@katebriggs9301]

Great job ma’am! I hope you’re super proud of that beautiful build! Wishing you good luck and happy travels!

[@nancyhartlage8626]

Your van is so organized and cute! Loved watching the tour!

[@wormonthesidewalk]

i really love how open this layout feels wowie

[@tvbra1nr0t]

UR VAN IS SO PRETTY OMG

[@LittleMissMeemers]

Wow girl!! It looks WONDERFUL! And I bet Mr Mowie is thrilled to not have to hide in the back from the loud van driving noises hahaha! Anyway I am super proud of u. What an upgrade 💕 between the new van and the Mr Peanuts bag, Mowie must be loving life ( the both of u). can't wait to see the adventures

[@blupoppy608]

The Cruel Prince being on the bookshelf, she’s so real for that

[@JuliaBrooke]

YESSSS🧚‍♀️❤️

[@flowergarden1426]

I like this a lot. I really like the colors, the lace curtains, the layout, the dust ruffle and a smart industrious girl who likes to read.

[@kingbubbles1024]

Ah I love this! (I also love the throne of glass series). I’m 15 and wanting to convert a van and give it a cottage core feel while still looking classy ish, and you gave me the perfect ideas! Thankyou, you’re awesome!

[@nicolefranklin1752]

Your home is beautiful, and it's so inspiring to see young women so independent and self-sufficient!

[@valeriemiller3731]

Favorite van i have ever seen..very homey and comfortable..great presentation..yoy did an awesome job!

[@heathermcgough3030]

Your home is so beautiful! I absolutely love it, great job!♥️

[@bonnierodger7719]

Congratulations! BE PROUD…Your build is awesome.

[@chazzer1969]

Nice van. Enough room for everything. Me too, getting sick of paying expensive rent. Van life is the way to go, especially for singles. I wish you all the best, Julia. 👍

[@yrevet]

What an amazing accomplishment. So much to be proud of. Have fun and stay safe.

[@SuperClare]

I know people always say this - but honestly I’ve been following KZbin builds for nearly a decade, I love the simplicity of this one! The only thing missing for me is the notorious emergency poop bucket and pee jug. Great work little lady!!

[@ferngulley]

You must have missed it. She has a PortaPotty under the bed.

[@stephieruud]

You did an amazing job on your conversion! So cute and cozy.

[@makenziesundve8616]

My friend and I are gonna start van renovation in the next coming year and this video gave me so many ideas, thank you so much

[@keithjackson4985]

Stay alert out there please! Happy for you. Hope you have many happy and safe trips.

[@fazlindale5300]

Just love your build.. And you are such an amazing bubbly person... Enjoy your new home 🏡🌹

[@_Phiajustcan_]

7:33 you really expressed your love for that diesel heater 😂❤

[@nikita7804]

I love your asthenic. It’s what I want for mine. It’s so nice to be able to see it with eye’s instead of in my brain ❤

[@lynncorvillion7557]

I love this setup! So cool ! And you did most of the work yourself! 🤗

[@marywatkins6798]

Very impressive. One of the best I have seen. Good for you! Stay safe out there.

[@caitlynkeeney9450]

I want to be just like you! It’s always been my goal to know how to build stuff like that and also look so pretty and put together

[@Ladiofthewoods]

Thanks for the grand tour. Van came out beautiful! Be proud, you did a great job! Now the hills of WV, my home, won't deter you 🙂

[@JuliaBrooke]

Omg yes I can't wait to return! Do you have any cool spot recommendations?

[@Ladiofthewoods]

@@JuliaBrooke tons of recommends! Monongahela Nat'l Forest is amazing, New River Gorge/Bridge, Beauty Mtn, several caverns, the 'water fall trail', Summersville Lake, Seneca Rocks...if you are into climbing, hiking or white water Nicholas and Fayette Counties have lots of both. Fayetteville is a great town to explore as well, bohemian with an interesting history and the center for so many outdoor adventures.

[@MB-zp5kp]

That is a gorgeous backsplash. What color and brand of grout did you use? It looks perfect and like exactly what I'm looking for. I think I even have the same tile, just haven't grouted yet.

[@JennBX1]

Really nice! Looks very cozy and yet practical❤

[@valerieann2751]

It’s beautiful! You did a fantastic job.

[@angelwings2977]

[@KingdomOfDaylightsDauphin]

I just found your channel - yay for cottage-core! I am loving all your videos. I love to bake too, and I'd love to hear how that's going in your van.

[@MickeyMouseTheCat]

You could consider changing the stove with an induction version, so you don't have to worry about gas and leaks

[@ginabrandt6168]

Love this build and her energy. Wishing you and Maui the very best!

[@tam8479]

I d totally pay you to do a van conversion if I had one 😂 You re beautiful and very talented. Best wishes!
