Out of curiosity, why did she elect to permanently close off that entry to the room instead of just putting a door in?

[@AP-px3ni]

Yes I was confused about this too!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Oh how did I not say that? Thought I mentioned it in the intro. She never uses that door and Vinny jumps over that cabinet that I showed to what was the opening before xx.

[@tisa6193]

@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz you did mention that she likes to keep open for doggies and I loved your idea of accomplishing that! Best of both!

[@audreybethel]

I’m convinced you can build anything and everything at this point. You are a beast.

[@elizabethevanskiikka2184]

What she said

[@maggs810]

Such a great move to look back on spaces you're made up after they've been lived in and "fix" them. It shows us that it's ok to make mistakes and go back and fix it. Fab job again Rachel 💚

[@TheScruffymuffy]

Imagine being friends with Rachel though... such a wholesome, wonderful person

[@VsLeo1]

Why can’t i have a friend that’s bad ass like this? 🥺😂

[@mirialenzpereira1102]

Oh yea... Dream 😍

[@lunamaxwell6190]

Is there anything she can't do?!?!?!

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Did you seriously say even though it looks like we haven't been tackling a lot of Holly's house??? Bro., I think you've been going HAM on that house!!! All of it lookin Dope of course!! Hoping all is well SuperCat!!! Dirty Jersey out!!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Ah thanks my guy xx.

[@MorganScheer]

That natural wood wall is giving me life. Everything looks so good.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Appreciate that xx.

[@KellyConcepts]

The bold colors are amazing. Great concept and execution! Raw wood was a good choice. 😁

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@woofdes1480]

You posting these ideas has helped me so much! I know I've said it before but I wish I could show you all the projects I've done because of you inspiring me everyday. With quarantine...it has been hard however, your videos help me stay positive and keep me busy around my house. The kitchen one especially! Keep it up! Love you!

[@kleinesren7064]

I love that you gave us an update on that room! Sometimes you have to live a little in a space to know what could have been better and fixing those things rarely gets shown on the Tube. So thank you, this is amazing

[@leahsdreams]

Love the idea of modifying spaces as you see, once they've been lived in. So many people are hesitant, but it's all apart of the process!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I agree! I had so much fun.

[@shriyaarora5596]

I think there’s so much more to learn by going over projects.

[@barbiellez]

1.06 AM in Indonesia rn but there's no such thing as time zone when it comes to Rachel uploading

[@jewelledestanie2947]

I love the Holly house series, it’s coming out so nice!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@sortofamess8633]

I'm convinced that you could build me a spicy Italian sandwich out of a paperclip, a 4x4 and a pony tail extension. Your talent is ridiculous.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Hahahahaha

[@Dottyluvsllamas]

Amazing! If it were me I might want to make the spacing between the doorway slats a little bigger for me to see through but that’s definitely just my preference. I need to do that slat technique on a few walls at my place. It looks incredible!

[@superannieoakley4513]

Love it! The design on the blue wall is amazing. I'm kinda surprised how much I'm liking the "raw" wood. It actually goes really well w that blue

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Yay!

[@Jsbdhuwbxbks3]

I love how you added a few more features and it completely changed the look of the room!

[@herFLYness79]

The accent wall is my fav. And the touches of raw wood are beautiful..

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

🖤

[@chinnowah]

I love your solution for the door, it looks sooooo great! I think it would be a lovely wall decoration too, and you can even paint it! Thank you for showing me this, it is fabulous. I love the rest too and, of course, the doggies! :D

[@MsSassyMT]

Sometimes you have to use a space for a bit to see what's working for you and what isn't. I can totally appreciate this video. I have changed rooms in my home countless times. I like the redo as well.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

🖤

[@chloenatividad5253]

Girl you are a damn genius!! Sometimes i'll see something in your makeovers and think "mmmmmmmmm idk about that Rachel" but every single time you shut me up and tell me to sit down

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Awe thank you!

[@fionadiy]

I love how you styled the slatted wall! And the gallery wall looks dope!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@gracieberry11]

loved this!! great idea to change things up! sometimes things don’t work and it’s not a big deal, you just have to find what works for you! 😘 sending you lots of love🧡

[@Ingridlosneslokken]

These small changes made such a difference! Love it! Especially that door/shelving/see trough situation!

[@deannasanchez4105]

Such a cute refresh! Love this and I personally love raw wood. Makes it feel fresh and natural!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you.

[@sangay15]

I ABSOLUTELY love this refresh! The only thing that didn't do it for me...was the corkboard, lol. I wish you'd just covered up the whole thing or taken out the whole thing.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Yeah I wish I had the time to redo it. Need a lazy Sunday for that since I construction adhesived it.

[@Keriedawayy]

I cannot wait to have my own home one day and I will be learning how to make woodworking projects like this one!

[@denises9426]

Wish I had such a talented roommate!! Looks AMAZING as always Rachel! 🥰

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

🖤

[@robbennest8995]

What a combo....Holly and Rachel. Great ideas! 😍

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

She's the best.

[@nandhaC3]

You handle your projects tactfully with imperfections as u mention but the end results shows the effort u put in it. ♥️👍🏼.

[@solomeyalemseged169]

you're definitely my fav youtuber now, one of the only ones that I actually look forward to watching!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Wow thank you!

[@lara_xy]

I liked the original makeover a lot but I agree that it was too much clutter, which somehow made the whole room even darker. Now it looks absolutely beautiful and it is great that you were able to adjust this based on her experience in the room

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@carlyh6913]

Love the pale wood slats and shelves over the door. Perfect for curious furries who love to know where you are. And the wood looks so good with the dark blue

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@randyrandolph9709]

Once again another job well done lady Metz. You are one very busy lady bug. She is going to have a awesome home when your all done with it. Until the next video please be safe.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you xx.

[@sadichchhaadhikari3535]

You’re great and this room looks clutch, but with some of the editing in some scenes it looked like you were eating the cork board pieces that you’re ripping off the walls 😂

[@mai_world]

AMAZING as usual!!!! But that puppy bed is everything!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Loving you xx.

[@jillsarah7356]

love a short lil refresh!!

[@keniaxcc1]

Navy blue is the new black!!!! I’m in love with all the blues this fall. Even thinking of incorporating blue as my main color for Christmas this year. In love with this one for sure ✨✨✨✨❤️❤️❤️

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Oh yay!

[@joonsantini]

Every video motivates me so much, I’m making a shousugiban (torched wood) end table and these videos just get me even more pumped up to finish

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Appreciate that!

[@NikkiCDL]

I *loooove* bare wood and I adore that corner nook. You always give me so many great ideas.

If you like popcorn get a whirlypop. It changed my popcorn game and you can use whatever oil and seasoning you like to keep it healthier. Personally I go movie theater style which is the least healthy version lol.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Oh thank you!

Random! But I have a senior pup who does the reverse sneezes like the Boston terrier (I think that’s what the lil guy is?) at the beginning. I do exactly what you do and try to help him calm down 🥺😂❤️❤️❤️

Hi.. Question!! The slats you used, did you buy them cut already or did you cut up wood to make the slats? I'm looking for those EXACT dimensions (thickness and width) and the thin pieces of wood at my home depot all look kinda crooked.

1x2's from Home Depot cut down with my miter.

Hi Rachel, my dog does that cough the same as the pup in the first few mins of the video....he has a collapsed trachea. You might want to get him checked out to make sure it's not that!
