Take a shot every time I say “so…” Also carpet doesn’t come out because it's about to be chilly here AND I'm not doing massive floor changes until I renovate the entire house 2022! FREE Patreon Post breakdown linked in my description - LOVING YOU xx.

[@MorganScheer]

[@Jen_S_Hassler1258]

I think we should take a shot each time you say your seemingly favorite phrase, "fun fact!" 😁🫂

Re: "so" Please stop judging yourself. I know it's easier said than done. ❤

Hello 👋 how are you doing today????

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you for noticing 🥰 and taking the time to comment.

[@HowardBandy]

I love how you took what you had on hand and turned it into something you can be proud of! So many videos out there where people have “just the right tool.” You’re over here struggle busing like the rest of us, but you still did it and it’s awesome!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@amybeatty5526]

Rach! I love your space!! It’s so inviting!! Your plants, the mirror, your cozy couch, your new bench/coffee table/dining table… gorgeous! thanks for letting us see inside your space!! I fell in love with your channel because you set really good boundaries for your friends and their spaces with us viewers. So it is ABSOLUTELY okay for you to tell us that you have other projects you want to tackle before you work on the carpet/floors. Thanks for talking so openly about gratitude and self care… its really helped me. 🙌

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Love you! That made my morning.

[@kalysta.darling]

One of my favorite things about you, and this channel, is you show your mistakes. I have always been intimidated by big DIY, but seeing how failure is a part of the process gave me confidence. Thank you so much!

[@lechatbotte.]

Wood glue bonds within the fibers of the wood, making it a stronger bond that other types of fasteners. I have a pile of barn wood I so need to do a project with. I’m in love with this. Your hard work pays off.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I appreciate that!

[@brooklyngiraffe]

The wood glue! That’s exactly what I was wondering about, so I really appreciate you for explaining! At first I was wondering if Rachel chose glue because didn’t want to create unnecessary holes in the beautiful old wood. But after reading your post, it makes total sense. Thanks so much!

[@amberfrazier575]

Absolutely love the use of raw materials. Always so inspirational Rachel! Also died laughing when Blaze decided to chonk on the new table!!! Can't wait for part two ♥

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Chonk is my new favorite word.

[@molliehouston3061]

Rachel, you always amazes me when you start to build things. Loving the coffee table.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Love you Mollie!

[@ms.serendipitous2263]

Rachel I love your inside space. And I love you're taking your time to make a home for yourself and your fur babies. So many KZbinrs decorate to trend. But I believe if I can tell where a person bought all their decor, they've missed out on an opportunity to personalize their space. Love the table!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

That's how I feel too!

[@falconofthesun]

"do not do this do not do this" 🤣🤣 omg thank you for the laugh ❤️ I love the table! I keep a huge pile of wood around the side of my house for one day mirroring one of your projects 🌈

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Haha 😂

[@justfabienne]

I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT VIDEO. I really am addicted to your content, Rachel. Please keep going, you are so inspiring✨🧡

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you for this xx.

[@bqpdobqpd]

7:43 I totally get that it surprises us every time when something actually fits😂😂 I follow instructions precisely, measure perfectly and cut in the exact size but somehow things just manages to NOT fit so it always feels strange, but in a rewarding kinda way, whenever it does🤣🤣🤣

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Same. Same.

[@einfachweilicheskann]

Well for me it is more of a bench, but needless to say it fits perfectly in your living room. And a multi optional use for a piece of furniture is always a good thing, especially if it´s this pretty. Uhh i´d love to see christmas decoration in the desert, that is so different from what i am used to, this will be really fun to watch Rachel :)

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you! I can't wait to share.

[@cheflorenzo4491]

I absolutely love your style. By the way, imperfections makes any piece look rustic and cannot be duplicated. Everyone of your creations is an original. Keep inspiring others to try out new things. Good stuff Rachel! 👍👍

I think you sum up the fun of experimenting in woodworking perfectly…at least how I enjoy it. Not everything has to be perfect, nor does a person need all the tools. But it should be fun! And this looks amazing!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Exactly! Thank you for noticing!

Momma, I can't wait to see what you have planned for that wheel. I love that bench even with the wood glue. Have you ever watched the claymation holiday tv shows. The bench is one of the misfit toys. A DIY that you put together, had its misses and fits into your space. Happy Holidays.

[@dawnpakstas4650]

The bench/ table looks so good with the wood frame around your mirror and all the plants!🪵

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I appreciate that xx.

[@kimberlyvillanueva5817]

I have old wood and stumps - you have given me inspiration to try to something similar. Thank you!

Rachel (about Blaze): " Ohhh, he's so happy!" Me (about Blaze): " Ohhh, he's so BIG!!" 😱 Please refresh our memories, Miss DIY Goddess: how old is yer boy now? Also, so super jealous of that gorgeous sun baked wood!! The only way you find wood that old here in PA is rotted out. Too damp & shady!

Get yourself a strong magnet on a string so you can pick up those bits of metal before you or the pups end up with it in your feet/paws. Love how you are reusing all this old wood.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I just had an industrial magnet push delivered - way ahead of you!

[@martymaloney1032]

@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz Wooooohoooooo! I didn’t know the general public could get stuff like that until my brother suggested it for our shop. Just picked up a bunch of pins that emptied out on the floor with that thing rather than sweeping or bending over to get each one. Once I got into diy I loved going to the hardware store and just walking around looking at doodads for future projects. Some how I got on a catalog list of hardware and drooled over that thing like it was the Sears Catalog from 1900! 😆 I love how excited and pleased you are with yourself...it’s incredibly empowering to be a maker.

[@UnclejHolio]

Holy plants! I’m jelly!! And this table is BRILLIANT!!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@mael2039]

I think I will never be over the weathered wood. You really can't buy that anywhere, and no two pieces are the same, it looks so unique and in general I'm obsessed with natural wood and I'm so here for the weathered wood look! I also think it's amazing that throughout your home you have so many awesome pieces of reclaimed wood cause even when it's a really different piece, like a literal ceiling versus a coffee table, it ties together throughout the whole property and that's so cool!! I'm really really digging your style, I absolutely love it. Also can I just say the way those legs fit into that tabletop is magic to me, I get how it works now that I see it but I would have probably so overtought it if I had to do it, it would have been ridiculous. I'm so hyped for the next episode! Also, how big is your little boy??? Love seeing your pups in your videos, they're so sweet and lovely and it warms my heart to see how happy and loved they are. Crazy how fast he's growing!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Ugh thank you! He's getting big about 30 pounds at 5 months!

[@egonzy4473]

And please stop worrying about all these negative Nancy’s. There’s people like me that LOVEEEEE watching your videos. You always do an amazing job.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@lorikeogan2457]

I love it! It's that simple I just love it! And I am so excited every time I see you post a video to see what you're going to do next, and that really comes from following you for a long time and knowing as well as I can who you are, what you've been through and what other spaces and rooms and homes that you have done DIYs and redecorated. It is just so awesome to know and see that this is all"JUST FOR YOU!!!" ( And those sweet puppies of course!!!) But anybody that has not been following you long enough I just hope they go back and watch previous videos and just know that this is about you. This is your journey to your first U-Home!! And it just makes me so excited to see your videos and so happy to see what you're going to do next and to see you work on such an amazing property that you've gotten there in the desert.... I'm just so stinking proud of you!!!!! And I think the coffee table is amazing The way that you created joinery for the legs and the kind of wood you used all of it I think is worth a lot more than anything you could buy at restoration hardware whether it cost $5,000 or $0 😍❣️😇❣️🔥❣️💯🔥❣️💥💯❤️❤️❤️❣️

[@ritasilva8797]

Maybe this will help you next time so I'll leave it here: to unbend the wood, you can put it inside of plastic and use vapor so it gets swollen and more malleable. While it's malleable, put it in between wood and clamps so it gets straight! It's an easy fix! Just take the top and use the vapor! Ask Mike to help you if you need to! You are amazing and I'm really happy you're living your life and making it as you like ❤️
