Taking it easy today as we got some big makeovers in the works that I actually do need access to my cleaning closet for. It's truly insane what a little shift of the space can do for your storage options! Giveaway winners were announced last week - if I don't hear from them all, I'll be sure to pick new ones. Love you guys so much!

[@Digitalhunny]

Mural artists, draw directly onto the wall with pencil 1st. Just so you know for next time. 😉 For perfect circles trace things like, dinner plates, platters & whatever other shapes you want. You're still going to need practice though. 😊

[@mister.tomfoolery]

It always amazes me how consistently you upload quality content - like despite being a one-woman show, despite having so much other shit going on in your life, you manage your channel sooooo well. It’s honestly inspiring, but remember that if you ever feel like you need a break, that is 1000% valid and you deserve it. Always have my support!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you very much!

[@chrys7174]

I just love how you tell on and make fun of yourself with no apologies. Some KZbin channels I watch never show that. Also. I am all here for your doggo!!!!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@onlyaudreyb]

tip for anyone. buy a little cheap projector, shine any shape you want on the wall. and vuala!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@myrabbitispink]

voilà. but vuala is kinda cute and funny

[@onlyaudreyb]

@@myrabbitispink lol oops. i think i spelled it the spanish way? because i google searched it and it gave me both spellings. oh gosh

[@bintatherese]

Great idea for adding any shape! Tip for a circle/ no projector: tie a pencil to a string, tack the other end to the center of your desired circle, and swing the pencil around the center, drawing a circle. Cheap homemade compass!

[@myrabbitispink]

@@onlyaudreyb possibly. it's french and translates to "look, there"

[@apr2110]

literally cleaning my closets right now! perfect timing!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Oh yay!

[@samanthamkyla]

Me too haha!

[@domingasuare8801]

When you finish all these projects around the house, is it okay if you do a video where you go through all the rooms

[@hananeali9894]

Can you please tell me if this is her house, because I missed an episode in this channel I rememebr her doing makeovers in her house and she has daughters ect I’m confused now because I don’t know if this is her house or another one

[@symmylynn]

Hanane ALi this is her friend, Holly’s home - who she lives with now. From what I’ve gathered (have only been following her since late 2019), she was in a long term relationship and he had a daughter. So her old videos are her and and his home. She and him broke up during quarantine (~March) so now she’s been helping makeover her friend, Holly’s home.

[@hananeali9894]

symmylynn ohh okey thank you so much ❤️❤️ for thé explanation because I was confused I hope she’s doing well right now and she’s happy ❤️

[@ngoober1992]

So you inspired me to tackle my closet and built in on my one wall... it was old wood the house is like 150 years old and unmatched wood and smoke damaged... so i painted it the satin white that is the doors and trip and looks amazing and have 2 more spots to paint but its turning out amazing so far... thank you for always inspiring and giving me ideas.

[@shawnrobertson9618]

Love your channel!! Your methods inspired me to start my kitchen one little bit at a time. Huge gratitude. To draw a circle: tie a piece of string to a pencil on one end and a nail on the other. String in between should measure the radius of the circle. Hold string taut while drawing the circle. Then paint. Voila, circle. 😊

[@grouchostarx531]

I adore you so much! You are just so honestly and unabashedly you and it's so refreshing.

[@jaune-soleil]

“Game Changing/changer” would I purchase and wear or own something you designed with this-yes. 👀 YES

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Oh you got it.

[@jaune-soleil]

Living to DIY with Rachel Metz -YES!!! Whatever it is, I know it’ll be cute 🖤✌🏾

[@lilbrit1811]

Ooo my closet like this is my last space to work on! Perfect timing

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Yay!

[@Muva_Candi]

And they have Raycons in rose gold! And I’m the spirit of BLM, it’s black owned 😊❤️

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Hell yes!

[@ninas992]

Oh wow didn’t know that! Very cool

[@Muva_Candi]

Nina S Yep, this is Ray-J product (ya know, the other participant in the video that made Kim K known, to say it nicely haha)

[@aquagamer1212]

Sweet Life of Candi Doesn’t he have any other accomplishments than being always paired with Kim??

[@Muva_Candi]

AquaGamer1212 Absolutely! But most people who don’t already know who Ray-J is may understand that reference.

[@MarthaMarthaMartha]

Thank you for working on small closets!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Of course!!

[@patricialeal2961]

Just letting you know. I get so excited when i see you post. It makes my day better. Thank you 💕💕

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you for watching!

[@starrwarner]

Needed this video! My lack of motivation to tackle our camping/outdoor closet was nonexistent. Love your work!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Glad you loved!

[@dwynn57]

loved the makeover! ideas, ideas, ideas!! I loved how you did the paint, and yea, I love the string and pencil idea below, I can't even draw hearts right! thanks for sharing! xoxo

[@jennadelane371]

Every time I watch one of ur video it inspires me to clean and reorganize everything in my house, lol

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I'm so glad!

[@FarahD101]

Honestly, just binge watching all your videos. You gave me so much motivation to start a new project every single day! My house is full of DIYs now , from the bathroom to the kitchen 🤣 And I don't know why, your voice totally ven me out, didn't stress me out when I'm doing these projects while watching/listening to your videos! Thanks a bunch!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Take it step by step! I'm doing mini makeovers to make it manageable.

[@endoone32]

Thanks for the 15% and recommendation, just ordered my lady some hopefully she likes them.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Yay!

[@MsSassyMT]

Great job! I appreciate that you showed the funny shaped circle anyway. I still love it.

[@sallyward9924]

I bacame obsessed with your channel 🙈🙉 you are amazing i love how you cover all the details ... i'm in the middle of my home makeover and you are my favorite source of inspiration and information😍💖 Thank you🌺

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Wow thank you!

[@NatalieLynch]

Wait, was your kindergarten teacher really named Mrs watermelon? Lol This is beautiful 😍😍😍

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Haha it was her name!

[@eauneau]

I’m recovering from surgery in the hospital, living vicariously through you and anxiously anticipating my next project in 6-8 weeks. Thanks Rach!

[@sandratranmer8066]

Aww the circle on the left... 🔵 Your face was priceless, like "what..." 😂 I wish I had a cleaning closet, but they don't come as standard in UK houses. It has always driven me nuts not to have somewhere to store my vacuum and broom, etc. They live behind my kitchen door and it is far from ideal. I'm very envious! 😁 xx

[@gg1378]

Every video has a 💎 gem answer to an issue I have. The door stop🙌🏽🙌🏽 been trying to find an in motion video of just removing that piece. Thanks girl 💁🏽‍♀️,

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@JR-rs2bm]

Something I learned from mr Kate (which...when is THAT collab happening...could you imagine??😍) when doing stripes or separate colors on a wall is to paint the area with tape with the same paint as the rest of the wall first, then go over it with the new paint once it dries! Makes the line super sharp and clean. Changed my life for real.

[@nellachavez7298]

Watchin the new Metz video on my lunch break 🙌🙌 yes please

[@alexiskerr5161]

I am so inspired and so encouraged by all of your videos! I feel like I can conquer anything!

[@denises9426]

This is so cute! Never thought of shushzing up my cleaning closet. Thanks for the motivation. Can’t wait to see your upcoming makeover videos!! You’re amazing as always Rachel! 💕⭐️💕⭐️💕⭐️

[@maralerner8395]

I love this channel!!! The closet looks amazing! I think that those three colors together look great, without the grey circle ;) And also I would prefer another type of baskets, because you can't see really what is in there. But in general I really enjoy your content. Thank You!!!

[@eriannab979]

This is awesome! I just recently started watching you & you never fail to amaze me!!!! DIY Queen!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I really appreciate that.

[@andreagupa6841]

I have always been nervous about painting and that is why I have never tried it, but you are right I'm going to paint my closet and learn with that !! Thanks for the advice!! love your videos!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@alemarie239]

Shero you are such a blessing to your friend as well as she being a blessing to you.💖😍

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

You are way too sweet!

[@diananguyen3637]

I agree with doing closet makeovers as a beginner starting point because that's what I did, and now I'm just obsessed with doing room makeovers haha

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Oh yay!

[@anthropocenepioneers2355]

Your closet looks better than my room my room literally is mix machted colors and wall stains I'm so glad I'm redoing my room through lol

[@jamesjailogan8811]

Amazing Makeover Rachel 💛💛💛 Keep It Up Girl 🏵️🏵️💐💐💐💐💐

[@petranilla14]

OMG!!!!!! The closet is awesome !! I love the boxes!!!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Yay!

[@numbertwochannel5011]

Oh gaawwwd wow this is such a strong move. Now I just wanna go and start and try some organizing myself and get some of the clutter I don't need OUT after watching this. Gonna put me on some Foo Fighters and Delta Parole and then I will try my best. Thanks for the inspiring video!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

🤍🤍🤍

[@rachelsanchis]

Love how you are embracing colour so much lately ❤️

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thanks love!

[@chescaalston1454]

❤❤❤ wish I had a cleaning closet but I may try some work on a pantry. 😳 as always thank you for being such an inspiration.

[@randyrandolph9709]

Hello again lady Metz another awesome job 👏. But what is up with that dark spot lol. Now only if it stays organized lol. And don't be bothering little cali couldn't catch her i love it. Until the next video please be safe

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Haha thank you!

[@kaitlincrane_]

I love how you tried something a little bit different! I loved the painting that you did, I laughed out loud with the circle that you painted haha, but that’s all a part of the process, and I loved it! 😁🙌

[@deborahholt228]

Saw the other cleaning closet redo and have one now. Best idea ever. You're amazing.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

You're far too kind!

[@000jess]

I just cleaned out my kids closet & plan on redoing the shelving soon. Thanks for all the inspo. After their closet im moving onto my bathroom & taking out an old ugly medicine cabinet Much love from Arizona 🌞🌵💕

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@deannasanchez4105]

This is so cute!! Love the storage bins! I liked the paint! It was unique and girl my circle would have ended with the entire closet being black so kudos! It looked good 😊❤

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@valeriaescano4183]

"Start small and make it manageable" 👌👏 Hey! Maybe drawing and cutting the circle on paper and using it as a guide would've help? Since it is a difficult place to draw directly. And a smaller brush for the outer part for more control? Hugs and kisses from Bolivia! 🇧🇴

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you for that!

[@melissabender3177]

If you made videos on the process of HOW you decide what to do with a given space, that would be AMAZING !

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I think me showing you is how I think about the space. Like I go about designing a space how I tackle it? If that makes sense. The most recent ones are my roommate holly designing them since it's her house she owns!

[@7sevendaysara]

Love the mix of colours and shapes that you gave to the space. Great job, so much more organized. And I am obsessed by the adorable boxes Sara Nena DIY

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thanks love!

[@MaliBee19]

I kinda died a little bit when all the stuff covered your cute paint art

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Haha me too but hey! I am happy I did it.

[@KRCrum04]

Why did I see the title and get excited to watch? Is this my life now? Lol! Great content, as always!

[@majesticsanbiru2797]

I have the same mop! the best! I have a long fur cat too she sheds a lot, nice make over can't wait to see the next one!

[@marielle2497]

Yay! Another new video from Rachel 🥰

[@JookerSK]

Next time, when you wanna paint a shape into a corner or space, create a template out of cartboard and outline it onto the wall. As you can shape the cartboard it will enable you to paint nice shapes easy and cheap. 😄

[@sammyknows_]

Hope your feeling well and happy Rachel sending beautiful vibes your way..🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@aa_rononthe7276]

Quick tip make sure to remove the painters tap while the paint is still wet and the lines will be a lot cleaner!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you! I'm a doof

[@fa-shizzle-a-lizzle7142]

i think i speak for the trees when i say WOW ur just, magnificent. at everything. wtf!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

First off another cool makeover. Your color schemes always have me smiling Kid. Secondly, do you think those ear buds would give me enough music sound over a mower & string trimmer?? If so you might see 3MG dancing on someone's lawn jamming out with those in.... Hoping all is well kid, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Oh yeah! They are powerful!

[@31sahana]

I say it often but wow you are an inspiration!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you Sara!

[@dmitriy_petrova]

I’ve been singing that song since the music video came out 😂. I like it 🎶

[@sellmoon]

To paint the circle: put a small nail or tape in the center of the circle and tie a string (with the desired diameter) to the center with a pencil on the other end. it will draw the perfect circle. it's what i use in the garden (in a bigger scale) 👍

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Yeah I just didn't have the patience and thought I could free hand haha.

[@sellmoon]

@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz ahahah I understand, I just gave up on free-handing it because I always screw it up 😆

[@aliciafrangos4549]

Cracking up at that black circle haha!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Brain farted totally.

Oh awesome!

[@tracyscott7760]

Nicely done.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@spookmagooked3017]

In the future, you could use a piece of string with one end tied to a thumbtack and the other end tied to a pencil to sketch out a circular shape.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Appreciate that xx.

[@spookmagooked3017]

Sorry, now I see in the comments that you've probably read this tip ad nauseum, lol. I do love your style and videos, and very much do appreciate how true to your audience and yourself that you are. ❤️ Thank you!

Usually when I watch your videos, I say "Ooh" or "Yes" or "Love!". During this video I was laughing so hard I snorted. *Snorted!* I don't wear earphones for that very reason. The neighbors would think there was a cat in heat
