Extreme DIY Small Bathroom Makeover!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

OKAY HI! I can breathe after doing nothing but this bathroom for 8 days straight. Couple of notes after realizing I didn't mention somethings in the video. I didn't show updating the faucet because I caused not only the sink to spring a leak but somehow in the two pipes of the bidet as well. That's why it looks like my toilet is plugged in towards the end. As far as the window treatment I haven't decided on but I'm thinking a natural rolling wood tone bamboo type of deal - what are you thoughts!? If you guys have tips on sealant for concrete and tile, please let me know as I don't want for all this hard work to be for nothing! Ah hope you take away some bit of inspiration from this xx.

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

Living to DIY with Rachel Metz it’s a big job!!! Feel you with projects. I’ve been thinking of doing a concrete countertop too.

[@breevillarruel8541]

I have been looking to paint my ugly 70's beige and teal shower/ tub and tile floors forever and this is beyind perfect! Thank youuuuuu ❤

[@marioneves6035]

i can imagine the paint on the floor cracking already!!

[@firdauskaswady2217]

I kinda like the floor despite Rachel's complaints 😂 had a really rustic,custom handmade feel to it..

[@nikkimajean]

I agree! Even though the lines are wobbly up close, they don't look like that from the far shots (like she said), but it gives it such a nice, homey feel that I think fits really well with the aesthetic of the room. The whole makeover is amazing!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you guys! I think my eyes were just about to pop out of my head so I was OVER it when voicing it over as well. I am leaving the imperfections and sealing her up!

[@theooogirl3495]

The stripping of that paint was SO Satisfying 😬😃

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Right?

[@tmarie2006]

The floor turned out well. Hand painted tiles are rustic and individual, so your floor fits right in. Great job love the end product.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you very much!

[@kiki29073]

I would put a texturized epoxy over it to seal it completely. The poly will wear down. She can pit clean sand for a grip texture in a strong epoxy.

My SO is overseas currently and there are SO many little ideas that I have for our house to work on while he’s gone. Today’s project is painting two dressers/organizers that we have in our room to match our bed and desk. I’m so glad I found your channel, i love your diys!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Ah that sounds like so much fun xx.

[@shawnmorales7841]

Frankly, what I found most helpful is that you talked me OUT OF stenciling my floor, haha! LOVE the finish of your vanity!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Haha thank you for watching!

[@mellymcd3535]

Rachel, once I saw your videos, I have been telling everyone that you have the most creative mind.....ever! Keep showing us how to do it! I'm going to tackle my laminate countertops and make them look like granite or marble.....so I am consulting all your videos for how-tos and WHAT to BUY and USE for success! Thank you, Rachel!

[@f1bomb]

Suggestion I have seen with stencils, use a temporary glue like Elmer’s stick glue or a spray tacky glue and use it every time before place your stencil and then painting, it helps keep the edges more clean and crisp! Or purchase a sticky stencil to begin with!❤️

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Oh thank you for this!

[@michelem7986]

It turned out beautifully. I especially like the fresh look of the shower/tub, the vanity top and cabinet, and the recessed cabinet. Liked the look of the chalk paint on the floor as well, although the stenciling looks nice. The decor tops it off. Thanks for being so honest about the process, & reminding everyone to research, seal, and protect.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Really appreciate you watching xx.

[@StephanieJoRountree]

When stenciling, you need a stencil brush and you must offload your paint to avoid the issues you had.

[@hideshnooka]

Also it might be a problem that the tiles themselves are very irregulary textured to mimic natural stone.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I agree! I think the texture tiled is not ideal for this.

[@jeannawalton8107]

I agree....even with the texture on the tile surface, the stencil brush would have done a much better job.

[@lynnbabe678]

Yes! And dabbing with a lightly wet brush helps so much. Rolling gets paint under the stencil. The bathroom looks so nice. Lucky hubby!

[@ScorpioWomanMoon]

Thank you for those tips

[@lizzfrmhon]

I also did a stencil in a small bathroom. It is tedious and back breaking work. But worth it in the end. The key is to put next to nothing paint on the stencil. Some people recommend a sponge but for me a small brush in stifling or tapping motions was the best. If you make a mistake you can always quickly wipe the paint away. Sand and repaint the tile with the base color to start over again.

[@TheEickert]

Favorite part is how transformed the shower was with the skirt and dark trim. It looks so nice and makes me want to try a skirt on mine. How do you prevent water damage?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Sealant is key! And ensuring to caulk appropriately. The reason I tested this out in this bathroom is because of the fact Paul doesn't use it regularly besides to poop haha. I am going to keep you guys updated on how it is when the weather starts to change as well.

[@hellogoodwaii478]

Living to DIY with Rachel Metz yesssss a short update video on diys that didn’t work out in the long run and ones that did would be so awesome!

[@sarahholland1375]

Clear matte boat varnish works great. And is v v cheap.

[@HB-de5nr]

Love all but the wonky floor. The concrete is amazing! then the natural elements are KEY to pull it all together. Bravo!

[@meahela87]

That tub skirt is Everything! And the floor looks like the super expensive hand-painted concrete tile! That's what I want to do in my laundry room. Thanks for the inspo and fantastic job!

[@ericametcalfe4357]

Best thing, by FAR, is that countertop. AWESOME

Thank you so much Erica!

[@KristenMcGowan]

It turned out amazing!🙌🏼 hahah I love the honesty when stenciling! You did so much work!

Stencils require a stencil brush. It would not be nearly as difficult.

First video I've ever watched from you. Absolutely amazing! You encouraged and inspired me. My family just moved into a home after being homeless for about 5 months and the home we moved into is old and sorta awkward.

Just I thank God for your video and inspiration this morning. Def suscribed!! Thank you!

[@LucyBell-q9s]

Hi Rachel I am from New Zealand and Ive watching all your projects. I have just brought a 1980s house and have to redo the batrhroom (Yikes!!) and normally I would freak out at the thought of doing it myself. But your honesty and journalling your experiencs via media, has motivated me more to "figure it out and learn as you go along" and the courage to reno my bathroom, thank you so much

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much for this! We may not do it perfect but how do we learn if we do not try?

[@virginiarodriguez72]

Would have loved to see if the toilet stains were removed. Besides that everything looks great.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I can't believe I didn't show it - you'll be seeing updates in my YT stories.

[@31sahana]

Pounce with a sponge or nearly dry brush for your stencil maybe. A roller would push the paint under the stencil. That vanity!!! That is amazing! As always, epic!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much for that tip and the love!

[@cutedeerhunter]

Amazing. I am a woman who has never attempted any of this. You are the greatest. 😍

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

[@mariahavrilchak2215]

I love the vanity. The wood-tone came out beautiful.! No problem with the floor to me. Black and white are my favorite colors.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I am really obsessed with the outcome.

[@faerychic4017]

“I am so proud of myself, but I’m also just going to go sleep for a week” 😂. I felt that. Well done on yet another inspirational DIY project. Go sleep now - you deserve it!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much!

[@M-Hffster]

Helpful hint on the floor stencil. Buy 2 stencils, start in different areas, place first stencil, after rolling on paint, take some of the paint off by rolling on a paper plate, paint the stencil and leave it there. Repeat the process with the second stencil, by then the first stencil should be dry, when you remove there won’t be any splatter into the black.

[@SJP43]

My bathroom is the exact same layout. I'm inspire to have someone else do this for me lol! How do you so this!! Amazing!!

Thank you so much for this video! The before looks a lot like my parents bathroom. Eventually I'm going to move back in with them to take care of them and look after the house and one of my future goals is to redo the whole house but especially the bathrooms and I didnt know how to work with a small, boring and dated looking bathroom. Ours is so dated even though the house was built in 2006. And this works perfectly!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

That makes me so happy! Thank you for watching and can't wait to see what you do.

Currently sitting in a parking lot filling in applications waiting for my sister to get out of an interview and you have saved me from boredom yay! 🙌🤘❤

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Ah! Yay!

Amazing job. A little advice that helped me in the past working with different tones of paint, try first passing a little coat of the background paint first across all the edges and then paint with the new color on top of that, that way you'll avoid for the new paint going out and ruining all your edges.

Gosh…that was a lot of work! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The concrete over tile was genius and looked so unique. Bless your heart, the stencils tried to break you, but you are not a quitter. If they were too perfect, it would have looked boring. Thanks for sharing!

I sanded and cleaned and sanded and cleaned my tile floors in the bathroom and then painted them, three coats, sealed it. It took about six weeks and the paint started to peel. With heavy traffic, painted floors in a wet area, NOT a good combo. I ended up finding some really nice modern vinyl tiles that could be grouted, made a world of difference.

[@pennysago7416]

Just a tip to maybe help save tears in the future with stencil edge touch up issues...use a putty knife or plastic ruler (anything straight and hard you can wipe off easily and repeatedly). After stenciling dries lay that straight hard edge over the side to protect (in this case the white painted edge) while using the straight edge to perfect your touch up (in this case the black touch ups being done). You get great lines in the touch up and it is much, much faster because you do not have to be so careful trying to steady your hand and lines. Hope that helps somewhere, you can actually use it in many things. Someone may have already mentioned it somewhere, I saw there are over a thousand comments but I wanted to mention it just in case. Great makeover!!! Do you happen to have any where you did a small crowded bathroom and converted a sink/cabinet in the corner to sit in the corner at an angle? I'm wanting to do this but need some inspiration...😂

[@paulahubbard9704]

if you change your mind and there is a next time for stenciling, use a stencil adhesive on the back of the stencil and you won't have to worry about the paint bleeding under the stencil edges. Like you said, you learn as you go along! Over all, you did a great job!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]
