ENTRYWAY + HOME GYM MAKEOVER | THRIFTED FINDS WITH NO DEMO OR RENO NEEDED!!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

"Sometimes people just throw the present away instead of re-wrapping"….A1 advice Miss Metz. All links and thrifted shops where I sourced all the decor is linked in the description so OPEN HER ON UP!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Also no not sure why my voice is higher pitched in this voiceover.

[@hdmm9136]

I saw your Instagram story talking about how you've felt bad about your KZbin channel... I just wanted to say, I love this new life you're creating for yourself, I love that I get to witness bits and pieces here and there. I love you're style, because it's YOURS and so unique. You're an incredibly inspiring woman. No shame in this life. I've also decided to sign up for your Patreon, I'm convinced now haha and I've never considered watching anyone on Patreon before 😂 I've said before, we could literally watch you rake dirt for 20 minutes straight and be happy, it still stands. Any content you put out is gold and it sure as shit makes me excited to watch. I feel inspired after.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so damn much for this - yeah it's been rough but humans like you make it all worth it.

[@paulajf4205]

Which IG story?

[@thestripelessbee713]

Saw your story and just had to come and comment. I think your style freaking rocks! I love love love watching you be unapologetically yourself and seeing it come out in your home decor. I think a lot of us, myself included, sometimes fall into the “trendy” trap and worry about what hypothetical people will think of our spaces. In reality, who cares?! If anyplace should be the place where you can be 1000% yourself it is your home! People forget you aren’t doing DIY tutorials for anthro dupes or tiktok trends (nothing wrong with that for those who do them, love those too!). This js YOUR space. It has been a joy watching you grow and seeing that reflected in your spaces. I love your home, keep doing where your heart takes you girl.

[@allisonx28]

I love that every thing in that room just oozes texture and love. Seemed like such a simple reno but it instantly set the tone for the rest of the house ❤️

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Something mellow this time around.

[@maggs810]

I LOOOOVE this locker! I definitely would like one in my home. (anything thrifted is cool in my book anyways, but this one particularly).

[@thecalmmaker4kidz464]

You are doing such an amazing job and reusing so many things really shows people how easy it is to make something pretty and functional without alot of money. Thrifing is so big and so good for our environment. Love this soooo much !!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@margaretrosin7853]

This is the kind of decor I love. Not just the same old from some showroom floor that looks like everyone else’s house; something gathered, reused and restored and FUN!! Love what you’re doing 😊

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you! It's been fun to play into the house to make it a home until I can totally reno.

That locker is definitely… something 😅 Glad you like it and could do something with it tho! For me personally it crosses that line of “does this look vintage, or does this just look dirty?” 😂

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I think when you're in the middle of the desert and you can't get to me on a paved road - it plays nicely with the house but I love when you guys give me your honest feedback! I know it's not for everyone.

Thank you so much for that - seriously xx.

[@Jsbdhuwbxbks3]

I love how this makeover turned out! The way you break the process down, makes it so much easier to recreate something similar in my own space.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I appreciate that a lot.

[@NikkiCDL]

I love locker storage! I have a small bathroom with almost zero room to add storage so a few years ago I bought a tall but skinny locker. After a good scraping off of stickers and coats of paint, it fits nicely between the toilet and shower to house all the toiletries that were scattered under the sink and hard to reach. Looks great Rachel!

[@sherryg1838]

It looks really nice. The weights look so cool stacked. I’ll have to try that, although mine are a combination of neoprene and iron. I also like how the weighted balls look on the stand. It has a flair to it. Our 20 year old daughter moved out and her room became my weight room. I’ve had fun redecorating it, most of it from the thrift store. Loved the room!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Yeah I was surprised I wasn't upset with them being in a pile!

[@o0bluemilk0o]

I really enjoy watching you design intentionally. I'm working to do that in my home and it really does change the place. It isn't about the current trends or a lot of stuff everywhere. It's about the things that make you happy, that you use and that you want to keep in sight always.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much!

All about plants right now.

[@toriam15]

I like this space, especially the locker and all the plants.

[@feralmercury1434]

Why is this reminding me of my childhood homes? Like something about this makeover is so realistic and normal? Sometimes I feel like I watch other channels and think like this isn’t doable for a normal person , but ur work always is so approachable and not like a sanitized HGTV wannabe. It looks like a home!! Not to hate too hard on others bc I’m sure they work super hard and it’s their style, but I really do love the organic feel of ur makeovers. Anyways lol loved it! 💜💜💜 thanks for the inspo!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Ok make cry! This made my night xx.

[@laurentrevino640]

Saying this all out of love, I think you need to try and not focus so much energy on negative comments! 99% of your comments on this video are positive, supportive, and uplifting. Life is so messy, it sucks, and it hurts sometimes, so I know while going through those transition periods it’s easy to cling to the comments that are cementing what you may feel. It is refreshing to me to see someone that is real, and honest about where they are in life. I know it’s very hard to receive compliments and positivity, but girl, it is flowing at you! Open your heart to it, and let the few negative ones go!

[@alexmcdonald9830]

Girl you are totally my hero! You are a badass! I honestly didn't think that this room was going to look good at all. when you said that it was the walk in room and a gym i thought that you were crazy, but it really looks amazing!
