[@ginasmitasin479]

The color reminds me of a living room color in the series Poldark.

[@barbarafling3790]

I love your creativity and drive. Amazing!

[@jennifercaceres632]

INSANITY IS RIGHT!! This video drove me insane...WTF

[@nayerie24]

Appreciate these longer videos so much! Love seeing the gears shift in your head and having it all come together

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

More to come - feels good to want to create again.

[@cks9516]

I’ve pretty much decided this is just how artists are…making cool art out of their own hard times and then putting it out here for us to see…Pretty gutsy, girl. I luv it.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you 🙏🏼 that's what this was for me. My way back into being inspired to finish the renovation so I appreciate you noticing that.

[@gabrielleszafir]

THIS. YES.

[@anticapitalisthomedesign]

as a designer, i love how you go with your gut & do things that are unique to you instead of just following trends, and also how you’re not afraid to acknowledge when it’s not working. keep it up ✨

[@eaitken11]

I painted my main bedroom this color and I LOVE IT! I chose it because I liked the rooms you designed with copper accents and it compliments so well. And I get compliments on it all the time.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

That is my goal with this home. Have copper running throughout! Good to know you love it.

[@user-dg6mn7lb8k]

Hiii Rachel met you at Home Depot in Yucca right after workshop video.. So proud of the work you do, love that you know Women can do it to ❤

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Ah! Thank you for supporting me and saying hi 🥹.

[@herFLYness79]

I love where it's going. It reminds me that it's ok to explore and not get stuck on one thing while creating. Sometimes we try to force an initial vision to work and would rather crash and burn when we're too afraid or apprehensive of what's on the other side. I actually envisioned different variations and something similar for the space, including a rug backdrop to compliment the wall color and sconces. (I could also see short floating shelves with plants. Then art and mirrors between them. Almost maximalist and eclectic.) And I absolutely LOVE layered mirrors. It really set it off for me!

[@michellechantaleksteen8589]

Hi Rachel 👋 I think this is what you do best 🤗 Your style is so organic, and comes from inspiration that you draw from your surroundings. I think you have a great eye, and your design always inspires me 😊 Sending loads of positive vibes your way 🌺

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much!!

[@alipoole7061]

As an Interior Designer I think you are on the right path with the green , organic and refreshing from the desert landscaping. Love your thought processing. I’m jealous that you are doing this yourself , wish I could run on my own.

[@rachelcleary5892]

I also really appreciate the realness of living with something and it evolving - very few of us IRL can completely overhaul a room in a few weeks - we have time and budget restraints - so your organic, shit happens, I changed my mind and vision is SO Freaken relatable! ❤️ Keep leaning into being the vesion of you your learning and creating!

[@Charlie10266]

I love that her style is so different from what’s trending. It’s so rustic and I wish I was half this creative..

[@lilnightmare]

My mind has cracked like a mirror, and then I could barely see my reflection. Now, water started flowing through those broken shards, and the mirror seemed whole again. I can see my reflection again. Healing is weird.. 😊 We understand, Rach... take your time ❤

[@Nicolee1973]

I loved the 2 new friends you made helping you bring in the mirrors. Especially at the end!😂😂❤️

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Right?! They are so rad.

[@sabrinawilson6353]

I have been following you since before the breakup, and this color use truly shows your growth. Thank you for being such an inspiration, and a normal human being about everything life/projects throws at you ❤

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much for being here xx.

[@alemarie239]

Sharon that mirrored wall is everything. You have truly outdone yourself. The rug on the wall that the sofa chefs kiss.❤

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@alemarie239]

Shero I did not mean Sharon.

[@angelsmith4467]

I love the color and the texture that the faux cowhide brings out❤ It’s beautiful ❤

[@gabrielleszafir]

Wow Rachel there is so much I want to say - I make KZbin videos in a similar spirit as you and I swear watching you right now is like seeing/hearing my own life. I just bought my first 'tiny home' to renovate (of course I did this literally weeks before the snow arrives and so I've been racing the winter weather since I'm in the Rocky Mountains - oh and no experience at all) and can so so so relate to so much of your process and journey with getting the work done, with design, the emotional ups and downs.... the bigger thing is just how much I feel you on how f-ing hard this year has been and how that has affected my videos and so many other things... I honour and respect the heck out of the inner journey you're on and you're so so not alone wild woman! Living in a renovation space while we are doing real-inner-work inner 'renovation'/healing is so much and I hope you are giving yourself so much space around the added weight of that! I hope you know that watching you is like medicine for me because I see so much I identify with and somehow seeing it in another provides so much perspective and also major compassion and love... and inspiration. just, thank you. Seriously wish we could connect some day and do a project together! Sending love from my little corner of the world to yours 🤍🤍🤍

[@hnycreek]

Rachel, You are a true amazing artist!!! I am madly in love with the color, the cowhide and the mirrors, not to mention that amazing scalloped shelf!!! You are absolutely my favorite on youtube!!!! I also want to add that you push outside the box and that is what I am all about!!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much!

[@KCbabypro1922]

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

That's my goal 🤎 thank you for being here.

[@Kiki-Delivering]

When you put that blue up I knew it wasn’t going to work for you, but it looks like you in the end!! When you put the fabric up around the edges, that was it!

[@denises9426]

That color is beautiful! Everything you create is. 👑🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@kleinesren7064]

that teal green is the PERFECT colour to go with what I have seen from your desert renovations so far. I adore that. Ugh, can't wait to see what you do with that room down the line! Also: Chickens! Bok bok

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@anuvedantham7689]

The textured wall looks beautiful! Love seeing alternatives to lime wash bc sheesh it's pricy and a i hate committing to a color before im confident in it in the space.

[@danielberru2022]

Love your whole process natural wood color or even light color pieces would really pull that color off

[@joyous2theworld]

I loved the cowhide addition and the rich color.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@aurorakimmett3587]

I would have never thought to do the cowhide wall and now I’m obsessed and I just came here to tell you that you are an absolute interiors-design, artist, genius. In all corners of the internet that I go for inspiration, I’ve never seen anything like you.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I appreciate that xx.

[@LB-hw3lk]

You are an inspiration. I aspire to be as brave as you are in design and in life

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

You can definitely do it - I'm totally winging it.

[@katharinabruns9480]

I would probably go for a really brilliant lime green in a sunny place like that. Wow, the large mirror was a great idea!

[@CoriNagy]

That paint color is beautiful!!! ❤❤❤ You are so creative.

I personally love it so much! But my sleep schedule not so much. Thank you for enjoying it too.

[@natasharay4045]

Love it! And actually, your process made perfect sense…it’s just hard to see while you’re in it…this one was all about the layers. Sometimes it just takes a minute to get there.☺️

I got so nervous when you took the couch into the room with the paint because I've gotten paint on furniture before... But let's talk about that couch for a sec 🔥🔥🔥

[@veronicam.hernandez5351]

Loved the moody color and mirrored wall looks great!

[@loriberry1896]

When you first started putting the paint on the wall I hated it. Once it dried it LOVED it!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I am still scared 😂.

[@loriberry1896]

Don't be - everything you do ends up looking really great. It always surprises me because I watch you doing things and think "that's not going to look good" and every time you finish a room it looks great and I love it! @@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz

[@liliadeanda5859]

Oh my God, I love that blue. I love, love, love that blue.

[@alexandradesilva4302]

Love your videos and process! ✨🤍

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Yay! Thank you!

[@tapet3397]

I love your designs and sending all the positive vibes your way. One of the things I learnt while studying design at uni is to sketch or model ideas so the design process is more efficient. Using photoshop to make a mock up or drawing out your idea could be helpful. You could also use cut outs from magazines and photos of the space to make a collage xx.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I didn't have any patience when doing this once since I was manically grieving.

[@janasbeautifulmess]

Amazing! I just put out a video on Thursday where I painted just one wall in my master bedroom! I didn't even get the whole thing designed. Just painted. 🤣 I was sort of beating myself up for not finishing an entire project before putting out the video. Then you put out this video today. Thank you very much for sharing and showing us that it is ok to share even if something isn't perfect or complete. I love the wall you designed BTW! Also, I can't wait to see what you do with all of those little mirrors! Maybe a mudroom wall or something!?!? Anyway, great job as always and thanks for sharing! 💜💜💜

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I would love finish my projects but life behind the scenes says otherwise.

[@kristirichards2249]

Love you Rachel. Cant wait for Part 2.

[@tiffanysmith3210]

I would paint all the mirrors trim gold. It would compliment that blue color.

[@ginajennings1664]

Ok here’s my two cents for what it’s worth. I love the cow hide and when you put the copper behind it I think it will look fabulous. I really like the mirror with the rug trim detail again fabulous. Now I know I’m probably a minority of one but I’m not loving the paint color with the cow hide. I just am not feeling it. I get where you might want the splash of color and all that but it’s like the colors are fighting each other. It feels chaotic to me, not cohesive. But again just my opinion, and not my house.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thanks for the feedback! It's going to be scary leaning into the green but maybe my design will change your mind in the end. I'm terrified to commit to it 😂

[@nooshafarindadsetan7746]

I found a solution for myself, to make a big change for a small place. You can use a movable and removable wall for strong colors. Even these panels can be covered with various wallpapers because it is easier to implement and these panels can be removed whenever it is boring.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Love that idea.

[@almachapman5409]

Awesome

[@crystalkirkland781]

It feels your videos are primarily focused on brand deals. I’m not complaining but I would imagine the chaos of unfinished projects would be horrible to live with.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

1: brand deals are where I make my money to provide for myself. this has been the financially hardest year on the back end so brand deals will continue to be incorporated into each episode so i can continue building this life I love and get to a point where i can finish these projects 2: I am showing the real pace with the budget that i have to work with. It does get a little intense with having to move around a bit but I don't have the budget to fully go after (without compromising) different aspects.

[@crystalkirkland781]

I didn’t mean it to be insulting. I was just trying to share from my perspective you don’t post videos on a normal basis and then it’s just brand deals that force you to work in a specific direction. I don’t mind brand deals at all but from a viewer it can see that is the only point of the video. I hope things improve for you!

[@liliadeanda5859]

I am looking forward to next video. ❤

[@crystalcharee57]

The blue (looks like dark emerald green on my computer) will reflect in the mirrors so it'll still be like it's on every wall. I love the direction you're going in but I'll also love it if you change it up again. :)

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Hopefully when the room rounds out, it blends a bit more. It's more of a 70's groovy vibe

[@meh5069]

I think it needs to be trimmed out to conceal the jagged edges, then it’ll look great.

[@nooshafarindadsetan7746]

I also have such problems with home decor and even clothes. Sometimes our soul needs a new change and when we do this change we feel it is too much. And we try to reduce the amount of change. Maybe it's because we didn't find the favorite color of our soul.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you for this.

[@lindaherman2317]

If I had your artist talent (not the right words really) or brilliance, id be thrilled. Don’t know how you envision these ideas but I sure enjoy them. It seems almost painful at times. Do you see it as a whole or spurts that generate as you go? God gave you a gift for certain. I would love to sing, play the piano, dance, and create. Don’t do any of them. I copy others. You however have it in your head. Thanks for sharing.
