VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Gael was forced into retirement and out of San Fransisco due to high rent and unrealistic living costs. She bought this tiny home with nowhere to park but knew it was the next chapter. Five months later, she was able to move into Tiny Tranquility and begin her new life in the tiny home community.
Her colorful house made of Metal and Cedar holds all kinds of artwork, some of hers and others from friends. There’s a functional kitchen with a large window and a small bathroom hosting a toilet, a shower, and a mini sink. She has two adored cats with their own “highway” above the living room leading to their loft area. Attached to the loft is even a kitty fenced in porch!

@@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer I have always admired talented people and wished I could do these things. You said you picked up a camera at the young age of 60, I am impressed and inspired. I know you are never to old to learn. I think I'm going to start leaving how to do some of these things. It does seem like being creative is peaceful.
I so admire your artistry and talent. It is nice when tiny home owners design for their pets and surround themselves with what makes them happy. Thank you for sharing your space with us.
Gael is quite the artist. She should open an Etsy shop to sell her art. I like how she changed the home to cedar and metal on the outside. She has really made the home work for her and her kitties. And what a beautiful setting she has for her home.
Wow, I smiled right through this one. This lady is an amazingly talented artist and such a magnetic personality. I could easily walk in her home and feel as though I've known her for years. Happy retirement!

Oh my what a beautiful comment!! You are so sweet 💚💜
Gael is so talented. Love her home & Tiny Tranquility!!! ❤️🐈🌹
I LOVE your home. What a joyful visit to your little house that is full of big ideas, great art, and no TV! Your lovely cats are living the life of royalty. I am blown away by your self taught talent in art, makes me want to pull my pencils and pastels out. Thank you so much for sharing and have a great, fulfilling retirement.
That is one of the prettiest tinies I've seen. Love how well catered it is for the cats. The crystal collection is beautiful, the artwork is superb. Gael is an extremely talented artist in all the different mediums. Very clever stair solution also.

Ohhh thank you so much!! 💚💜💚💜
The design, the deco, the artwork, it's all lovely! Your attention to detail and finding a way to fit all the the things you need & the things you enjoy in a smaller space is very well done! This was a really nice tour!
Love her artwork as well as her Tiny house.
What a beautiful house. I really like how you modified the steps to make them easier and safer. Very talented artist also.
I think she's thought of everything. What a perfect little spot, beautifully decorated, the cats areas are just so sweet, and her art is amazing. What a lady! Enjoy your retirement with Cinders and Ella, yes you SHALL go to the ball! :)
I love your tiny house! You are quite the artist! Great setup for the cats too.
Love the colors. Bright and cheerful. I collect hearts, so loved the heart-shaped piece of wood.
Lovely house lovely personality. Her art is really cool! she needs an insta and etsy!!
What a talented artist!!!
I love Gael's artwork. I also love the catio. The stairs I bet work well also. Much better on the knees. Nice home!
Very well done beloved tiny house neighbor! Congrats on winning the upgrade, love it, as well as your modified steps. Love your art, and of course, your rocks, crystals, hearts & other teeny tiny tchotchkes. 🥰👏🏼❤
WOW! First of all, thank you, Gael, for sharing your beautiful tiny home with us! Second, YOU ARE SUCH A TALENTED ARTIST! Your art works are beautiful!
That loveseat looks sooo cosy nestled into that picture window space! And having a recliner as well is exactly what I would do.
Love that you sleep in a recliner. I do as well. So nice to see how you made it work. Thank you for sharing.
You are an amazing artist and being self taught is incredible. Your home looks comfy and it's nice you have it set up to meet all your needs. Wishing you years of happiness.
I love your tiny house 🥰 And your cats have the best life there. I like how you think about life. 💖 Carola from Sweden
I’m here for the tiny house tour which is very comfy cozy 💜 Your artwork is a very pleasant extra surprise which is absolutely “Amazing” 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟k
Inflation is producing a slew of problems throughout the world, including food shortages, diesel and heating fuel shortages, and housing prices and financial market crash. This global collapse might end up being a part of us for a very long time. With inflation currently at about 9%, my primary concern is how to maximise my savings/retirement fund of about $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.

The stock market is a way to hedge against inflation. Most notably amidst recession, investors need to understand where and how to allocate funds to hedge against inflation and still make profits.

In my opinion, the impact of the rise or fall of the U.S. dollar on investments is multi-faceted but learning how to grow your money has never been easier than now that you can explore and experience a truly diverse marketplace passively by using a well-performing portfolio-advisor.

@@anthonyrussell5718 I agree, having a portfolio-advisor for investing is genius! Not long ago amidst the pandemic crash in March 2020, I was really having inveesting nightmare prior touching base with a license portfolio-advisor. In a nutshell, i've accrued over $550k with the help of my advisor from an initial $120k investment thus far.

Wow! What an uplifting video. At 90 years old...its too late for me...but if I could turn back the clock...I would be in a tiny home surrounded by my favorite things. The Oregon coast is where I would I would be....in that very tiny village. Ah, "there are stoms you cannot weather...and dreams that cannot be". I remain envious while wishing you the best. *Recliner Babe* 🧙♀️

Adorable, beautiful home. Lovely lady. Incredible TALENT!!!!!
I have a kitten that is the spitting image of your black cat. She even has the thin area of fuf from her eye back to her ear.. sge is currently 12 weeks old. Now i know what Karma will look like when she is grown.. Love the tiny house and your art.
Beautiful lady and home 🏠
Beautiful comfy tiny home. Could definately live like that. ❤
Nice and quaint for her and she's happy. That's wonderful 👏
Going to grab the idea of the cat walk for my tiny!!
She is a very talented artist. I love her tiny home and her unique style. What a cool catio for her fur babies! I love cats and have three. One of my cats would remove everything she has attached to the front of her refrigerator. I put some collectible magnets on my refrigerator front that I purchased from my vacation travels and he jumped up and repeatedly knocked them off….every time I would put them back up he would immediately notice and take them down. He even made hundreds of attempts to remove the manufacturer’s logo emblem permanently affixed to one of the doors! He’s my wild child.
Such a lovely home. Perfectly put together. Charming. Your artwork is great, too.
Love the cozy feeling inside!
The art is absolutely beautiful. I wish I kept up more with my art.
Charming home and lovely lady!! The place has soul.
Wish gael the best of everything.Good health always.She is sure of the direction in her life so here's wishing her Good Luck always!
Gael is so creative. Love what she's done. Wish I knew what dehumidifier she uses.
I love the way you capture texture and light in your art. So precise

Wow! you are a very talented artist. I was so amazed by your art work, I almost forgot to watch the lay out of your tiny home. Enyoy your retirement Gael.
She does beautiful art
Love your beautiful home!!! Those half steps are genius!! Lot's of good storage & "cutie pie" treasures!! Life is a journey!! Enjoy yours!!!
Your home is delightfully quirky. I also love the way you clearly dote on Cinder and Ella. Your catio is just lovely as well. Really, I only have one suggestion. I would swap out the fencing in the catio for something with smaller openings. Maybe hardware cloth instead? I would just hate uninvited creatures (i.e squirrels) to get in there and disturb your peace. I love your vibe. Take care and be safe.
Wow! Her art is amazing.
I enjoyed the tour of your sweet home! I liked how you arranged things and kept many of your special collections. Your attitude on life is wonderful! I oved your kitties too! The colors inside and out look beautiful. I loved your art as well. I'm glad you are having fun living in your tiny home. 🌸🌱🌷 I'm Sharon from California
Your att is amazing keep up the lovely work.. you have a lovely home that is unique to you.
Your artwork is just superb ! I"m an artist also and I"m sincerely blown away by your creativity and your everchanging way of looking for new creative outlets. That is definitely the soul of an artist, the constant trying of new ideas. My name is Gayle also but have always been called Gaye by those dearest to me. Nice coincidence on the Gael naming. Have a wonderful and healthy and enjoyable retirement. Keep well !! Blessings !!
The unrealistic cost of housing is scary. Looks like she found a beautiful alternative.
Wow! You are an inspiration! For both your art and your creative space! Making those kitties so happy!
Thank you for sharing your tiny home. Your a very talented artist. Again thank you for sharing your life and talent
Beautiful art!

What a beautiful soul. Let's talk for a minute about her not being able to be comfortable on the toilet...that is a huge no-no. I am sure the layout of the bathroom could be modified to make sure she is comfortable while she is doing her business. The raisers of the stairs should never be so far apart she can't climb them comfortably; another no-no. I would advise her to install some handrails. I love how she makes sure her fur babies are comfortable and her artwork is gorgeous.
Beautiful 🎨 artwork, you are talented 😊

Hello Brookes how are you doing, where are you from?
Aby love your tiny home ...what an absolutely lovely soul ...I really admire you ...🌹🙏
As others have said I really appreciate your artistry. You should have a website to sell an occasional piece. Love the windows. Seems I have to have them too. Kitties are so cute. We can see how much you love them. Re: dehumidifier....it is a shame the builder didn't include a ventilation system. It a must as tiny homes are prone to moisture build up and mold. The best builders include them as standard requirement. Good luck in your tiny home, enjoy your retirement!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE ! ! smart and lovely and such well cared for cats! I will watch this again and again! so happy for you!
Gael you are so positive and inspiring, creative and artistic. All my respect and good wishes for you living tiny. How I wish I can do the same.
Thank you for sharing a bit of the process and some of your story on how you came to decide about living in a tiny home! What a lovely woman you are, and your home and living space are really wonderful!
I love your artwork Gale
You are a great tour guide and your cats have a great place to live too!
Yes, colapsable stuff, and I love her fridge stuff. A lot of tiny home people seem to not have any personal touches or decor.
Very nice house , very nice decorations Gayle! Thanks 🙏 for your video I enjoyed
Love all of your art, spirit and adorable tiny home.

Your art stunned me it was so accomplished. I really wish artists were paid their worth! You are immensely talented and a lovely person. I hope you get the chance to have a bigger bathroom some day. Lol
Awesome video..beautiful home
Your artwork is fantastic. You are so very talented. What a lovely home you have and in such a great development. Thank you for the tour.
What an amazing artist!
One thing which concerns me in all these tiny houses is security. Almost all main doors are partly covered in glass and window louvers are non existent. For the rest, I like the coziness and practicality of a tiny home like this one!

I think about the security of glass in windows and doors, too, in homes of any size. I'm brainstorming a combination of different security features, including security film to reduce breakage, window grilles, speakeasy-style openings within a door, a tall shelf that slides laterally along wall to block a glass door when sleeping or not at home (egress out of second, solid door), and a bathroom mirror that either slides over a window and latches, or flips out from one wall to cover a window on the adjacent wall. I'm also planning to build hidden niches in the ceiling for metal security shutters that roll down easily on the INSIDE of large windows, and possibly some traditional-looking metal shutters on the exterior surrounding the kitchen window. The metal shutters are for fire safety as well since I live in an area with recurrent extreme fire risk (planning a metal roof and siding too), but the interior pull-down metal shutters by the bed will have extra value as blackout curtains. A truly dark sleeping area can make such an incredible difference in quality of sleep! That said, I admire people who feel comfortable with huge expanses of glass like in this house since it makes for such a beautiful, open-feeling space! All that glass in her living room and the huge kitchen window looks beautiful to me!
