DIY Thrifted Room Makeover | Affordable Room Transformation!

[@janelte]

Please be kinder to yourself and stop apologising for things not being "everyone's taste". Nothing is! I love that you are handmaking a home to suit yourself and your friends and your location and circumstances now, and that you are clever and imaginative and flexible enough to do something completely different should any of those elements change. I am in a different country with a different climate and different taste and circumstances, which is one of the reasons what you are doing is so interesting to me. The room looks great and it is lovely to see you smiling with your dog.

[@afroborilafemme]

100% THIS!!!

[@marlesmeep]

I swear, Rachel, you are so relatable. I hope you realize how important that is to people like me. To see you make mistakes and just not give up. Ever. Through all your hardships, you just pick yourself back up and adapt and move forward. Also, I totally agree with just redoing a room until it feels right. Currently, for me, all I can afford is to rearrange, but hey, it works!

[@kaitlinmeadows6273]

Love your willingness to change stuff up, regroup, rethink, re-do, learn on the fly, adjust your sails to fit the changing winds of your life, love your critters so fiercely, and share it all with us with such candor and heart!

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

You are a poet. Beautiful words.😊

[@shirleycarter2451]

Love love love it all, think when we upcycle,our rooms look so much more loved and lived in, it's as if the warmth of the past owners bring joy and happiness into our homes. Rachel, thank you for showing our women of today that they can do stuff on their own and achieve so much. Lots of love from England ❤❤❤

[@afroborilafemme]

Don’t be so hard on yourself about your style or the unfinished spaces. Those apologies aren’t for us because we OG viewers know how far you’ve come and we see how far you’re still going. Continue growing. You’re encouraging so many women along your journey.

[@nicoled2831]

I love your style-it’s so unique, layered, fearless, multi-faceted, passionate, wild, fun…all qualities you seem to possess yourself and that you inspire in others through your content ❤ I’m so tired of the beige-ification of everything, it’s fresh AF to see what you create.

[@sosexymagazinerobinwatkins8467]

Yessssssss. You said this so well and you have really summed up why I just love this channel!

[@valarya]

I see a Metz video, I click like. 🥰

[@judymcinnis]

Rachel, it's paint. Paint is never permanent. Do what you feel is right for you, right now!❤

[@AstaraeaRain]

I will always prefer your personal style over a magazine-ready room! So stunning. The bedroom feels a lot cozier and I like your slightly maximalist approach to decorating. Fellow horse-gal here~ you are livin' the dream! Loved the stop sign and that little glass house vase.

[@roz6074]

I love maximalism and eclectic styles so your home is such an inspiration for me!! Being able to watch you grow and see you pivot is so refreshing. Keep up the amazing work Rachel ❤️

[@plugged1]

Rachel your commenting is as keen as your eye for diy. I don't know which one I like more. Keep up the good work!

[@karenbransome6978]

I think your style is spot on. You have done amazing things using what's on your land. I think where you live is stunning. Hugs from Leicester England 😊

[@kayday1996]

I LOVE the blue walls 😍 they are such a calm vibe to contrast the fun maximilist other wall! Also, the tiny deck is to die for with all the reclaimed woods. Rachel, you're a star❤

[@milkweeddreams8828]

Girl, girl, girl...I love your Southwestern vibe, the colors of the desert are just so Earth friendly...that weathered chair on the mini deck, OMG...and YES, paint that concrete floor, I painted mine a Terra Cotta color, then brushed over lightly with a cardboard color to give contrast, it felt clean and cool on my feet...I just painted my entire concrete block house and garage that Terra Cotta paint, 'Moroccan Sky', with yellow trim and aqua shutters n doors...did I mention I live in Florida and those colors totally vibe with my jungle theme filled with banana trees and giant tree ferns...again, I love your intense vibe, go for it, you have the tools and the youth, I'm a single, 75 yo Boho eccentric gardener, I do what I can by myself, it's how I role with no apologies needed, I'm an artist and did I mention eccentric...love the desert, make it yours, no fear...just love and change the color often, who cares, it's for you...!

[@RikodiusRex]

4 years Oh my gosh. I remember this.

[@margaretrosin7853]

It turned out amazing, inside and out. You have a real talent for that rustic-cozy vibe. Love it!!

[@lechatbotte.]

I love it your style. It’s brave it’s real. You are so what I wish I was when I was young. I let too many shut me down, discount who I’am. I’m hear for everything you do. Love watching you blossom like a beautiful cactus flower.

[@sosexymagazinerobinwatkins8467]

[@marilisalugo]

[@lougreene-winters2172]

It's a beautiful bedroom, and it's so wonderful to see you doing what feels right for you and your beloved animals. I'd love to see a bright yet warm colour on the concrete, if you decide to paint it ;)

[@denises9426]

“Everyone has different intentions for their home. Apparently mine is to make dusting absolutely impossible.”, 😂 me too Rachel! Great video girl. 👑🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@snoopy6867]

It’s Rachel Time!!!! ❤

[@Nasalkeihpos]

[@katp6272]

I absolutely adore your style. Every space you've touched on your property is lovely. It feels homey💜 you're doing an amazing job

[@paniHelena]

This do not feel like a home. This is home. Home of a beautiful human being and its family. And I want to see a crazy color, my dear, I dearly want!

[@warmbreeze43]

Love it all. I’d love to sleep there. Good job 💕💕

[@Cari-143]

It's ALL so beautiful, as always!!!

[@eloughman21785]

Rachel. You are a beautiful blunder and a meaningful mess. I say that kindly. You own your happy accidents and continue to grow. I am so very proud of you!

[@eloughman21785]

And yes. I think you should paint the cement floor. Hear me out. GLITTER!

[@marykempski3986]

I click so fast when I see that you have a video out. ❤

[@clareelizabeth3319]

Absolutely gorgeous! Ahh I love your style ♥️

[@sirnearlyheadlesnick]

Even Cow Girls get over their Blues.... Stunning Rache

[@kerihedquist5170]

Epic transformations ❤

[@earthymama_kaia]

Ooooh I like this room!

[@Nicolee1973]

Looks great!!

[@Designs_Decor63]

Great video. I love my mini split

[@kimpaynter]

You do you ❤ what makes your heart happy do ❤❤❤❤❤YOU ARE STRONG REMEMBER THAT ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ceehunka7344]

Luv it ❤ it’s been 2 yrs. since I bought my fixer upper house like u it’s been evolving with me it’s a process to make it my own 😅

[@paranormalnora]

Beautiful room 😀

[@sylviashanabrough6515]

I love the green.paint color and the mirror wall. That is one substantial plant hanger. The ones I find are usually a little stringy. I am always inspired by the jobs you are willing to tackle. Yet, you know when to call in the experts. Did the little amber bottle you have hold syrup at one time? I think I remember a syrup bottle with that house shape. You are doing great, girl, keep going.

[@jbyrd2789]

Loooove this room….you should paint the floor to look like the sky….and darlin stop apologizing. I have that in common with you and someone who is 36 and hasn’t done anything that I really wanted to do with my life because I’ve lived my life for the people around me. You are doing everything you need to do to be happy and at the pace you need to do it. You are in-tuned with your self and your life. Don’t let the little things grab ahold of you or let the hate from the un-souls ( is what I call them) that don’t really know you get the best of you. Idk if that helps or make sense. But I hope it did. So much love too you 💜

[@XylophoneProbably]

Haven’t watched yet, but clicked when there were 777 views. Feels like something ❤

[@1110karin]

Watch out you will have an amazing electric bill though I know they are energy efficient. Love all your work but loved the previous work too. When I bought my house in 2005 everything I redid or paid to have done everything but still I have only replaced toilets and faucets. My bedroom has burgundy walls and I am too lazy to paint over them, 1. because it's still looking fresh and 2. I still like it. I am guessing where you are it is dry heat. In FL my cental air pumps out at least 1/2 to a gallon an hour or so, but so happy you will finally be cool, you'll never go back to being without ac.

[@marleigh9194]

It is beautiful! And you should also make this video a how to install a Mr. Cool. lol seriously though

[@Kellykittymom]

Wow, I didn't realize your house didn't have heat & air. Im on the coast of NC, so I definitely need AC!!

[@ginajennings1664]

♥️♥️♥️👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻♥️♥️♥️ paint that floor a crazy color, why not, it’s just paint… a wise man once said, I do not regret the things I’ve done only those I did not do.

[@LuxurCr3Tv]

Good girl Gracie look at u helping out 😂😂

[@moda78z]

It’s so pretty, Rachel 😍. I hope you and Gracie have enjoyed sleeping in your “new” bedroom 🥰

[@christymaurer8649]

Love love love! Where did you get the house vase? That is so cute!

[@chelseamendoza7257]

So much love ❤️ from "the wow wow show" (he is 7 now)

[@KateRowe-u1o]

Vote 1 for crazy colour on the floor!

[@maeamber]

Do you hang your clothes out to dry on a clothesline? I started doing that recently and it's so therapeutic. (Plus cheaper!) Just my 2 cents(: keep doing your thing!

[@Sarah_C68]

FLOOR NEON PINK PLEASe :)

[@latonyagreathouse7235]

❤

[@lindacsmith13]

dusting is overrated.

[@sarahwaddell643]

a whole ass minute bless

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you for being here!

[@Ultra_Violet_glitter]

Not gonna lie when you started putting the stone on the floor in the trailer… I thought hmm I think Rachel may be going thru a manic high. She’s going to regret that. 😭

[@valerarte3492]

❤❤❤❤

[@bnp2bnp]

Don't paint the floor too crazy. Idk, paint it a color that can adapt to different vibes in the future. I was def Victorian/pride and prejudice growing up, but I painted my walls cream. The same color went through my pastel/ young girl phase, but now it's evolved into a soft, eclectic, wood-ish, old time room. Like, it's got hints of youth, but it's changed. I wouldn't call it timeless, but the moment you walk into there you kinda lose time. It's like a museum with all the little things I've collected over the years. Dude, I'm just realizing it could go for a vibey thrift store.... My word... Anyways, the point is, the cream color has withstood all my different moods and phases over time. I mean, if I'm unhappy with my bedroom, I go insane. So, to keep it budget friendly, that's why I chose a color that could keep up with me. But, if you choose a bold floor color, well... It _is_ your room, I guess. And I do want you to be happy and creative... But, I guess, all I'm saying is, think it well? Don't be hasty again... Idk, im def not criticizing, for sure. Just a thought But, this reminds me, I think you said you're moving away, right? So, I guess this room isnt forever... Ah, all I said don't matter then, lol!!😅 Do what makes you happy, girlie!

[@a.chataignier]

I think you'd love Laura Kampf's content! She'd love your style with these upcycled goods and decor. Check her out!

[@SummerChance-bo4fc]

Be more kind to yourself! You are badass ❤️

[@cherylk8781]

[@lindarosenthal6835]

Blazes yawn at the end. He worked so hard.

[@AmmaLove24]

I knew that first bed was safety hazard...I was so anxious watching you make it!

[@taze3640]

Is there still no second horse? Horses are herd animals, they shouldn‘t be alone this long

[@atlasphere]

always🤍

[@lorrainemasters289]

How I wish we could get a bit longer video- we wait at least 2 weeks and many of your videos are 15 min or shorter-😢

[@Jen_S_Hassler1258]

But she DID promise us a second video in a few days...

[@Tavieme]

Your audacity is nasty work.
