Making Over Our Local Pilates Studio with My Best Friends!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I know this isn't going to be everyone's design jam BUT that is not what this is about. It's about showing you how you guys are enabling me to do bigger things to give back on a larger scale with my humans so THANK YOU!

[@itsgivingbougie]

Living to DIY with Rachel Metz it’s amazing!!!! This is literally on another level. Cannot imagine anyone not just dying over this. You killed it!

[@danadz2383]

Congratulations! The space is so warm an inspiring! Love that it was created by women. Never underestimate your skill, talent & passion. Bravo!! 💜

[@annaalm18]

Exactly. This isn't going to be everyone's design jam...

[@gabby9572]

Love the art on the walls! Such a great color pallet! It’s such a great form of expression! You inspire me so much! Thank you!!!

[@TheJoanneirene]

Living to DIY with Rachel Metz great job. The space looks fabulous. Love the color of the mural and the wood lettering looks great. Way to step out of your comfort zone, work with multiple women on this project and give back.

[@ACCOMPLISHEDSHEIS]

LOVE THE WALL PAINT ART. IT MADE THE SPACE SO INVITING. LOVE THE AFTERMATH.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@XO2HKIM]

I will be honest, I was a little skeptical of the direction the mural was going during the very early rough paint stages but the finished result, wow! So beautiful and most importantly, it just feels happy and uplifting!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you for the love!

[@emileeeiler5677]

Rachel, this is amazing! What a huge milestone, I'm so proud of you! You did an amazing job, and it was so sweet of your friends to help. Alaina did sooo good on her mural, I'd never be able to tell it was her first one.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much! I cried when my friends all came together. Elena did such an amazing job!

[@agohl85]

Seriously don't understand how anyone could have had negative comments on this. It turned out great!

[@JalenaSimspon]

At first I wasn't sure about the mural, but when you see the entire space complete I was sold. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it.. the colors are soft, easy on the eye, and very calming and the phrase onto of the mural...BEAUTIFUL... you did amazing and can't wait to see you do more business spaces.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much!

[@monserc6522]

Literally the Queen of diy content, thats why l am here for.

[@clairephillips3188]

Well now I want to live in this Pilates studio :) good job.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Hahaha

[@Dottyluvsllamas]

I absolutely love it. I wasn’t sure how things were going at first with the mural but it turned out amazing. Regardless of what those other people say it is an incredible upgrade to the space and feels more fun and exciting.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much!

[@lara_xy]

This looks absolutely amazing! It totally makes sense that this was a bit more nerve-wracking than doing over a room in your house, but you and your friends really created something beautiful there! Everything is so cohesive and I would be happy to work out in such an aesthetically pleasing studio 😍

[@samanthachan3210]

LOVE the DIY bench with back cushion. I’m trying to steal that idea to make a breakfast nook/cafe corner in my small apartment!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@Julianna365]

pretty freaking awesome! Love the switch up in vibe, and honestly I'm always wowed by the way you maximize the use of space! Great job !

[@VIDEOEPPO]

I have been following this channel since beginning, and you are really making a difference to the way DIY itself is perceived. Every project is turning out to be massive!. I see a lot of hard work, dedication, effort and time...all rolled up into a 11 min video!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much!

[@kambertenorio1019]

HOW AWESOME! Design is so much more than "I like that" or "I don't like that" it's about making different spaces unique. I'm impressed as usual, and love your work!! I also think it's so selfless to give back to people around you.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you very much 🖤.

[@SonyaReznitsky]

Rachel, I am so proud of you! I’m actually really emotional watching this. The fact that you motivate yourself, create these ideas and concepts and have gotten skilled and confident enough to make over a business and give back to your community is so beautiful! What an incredible journey, I am so proud and happy to watch your growth! I love interior design too and have been dabbling in it - it’s magical.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I really appreciate that Sonya - this is my main goal with my channel!

[@elizabethevanskiikka2184]

Love this!!!!!!!! But there wasn’t a final shot of the peg board wall was there? Did I miss it somewhere?! This space looks so good! I wish I could come workout there 😍✨

[@amandao.8043]

She hung the peg board by the front door behind the new entrance. It has the speakers on it and could be used for Merch in the future.

[@randyrandolph9709]

Such a great build and design, and so nice of you to give back. I hope you got some positive reactions to the finished space because this was awesome! Don't let people tear you down, because you're doing great!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

[@victoriaheinrich718]

I looooove the wall art.. ❤ I need to recreate it & i think I'll paint it on a big canvas & hang it over my bed. Renter friendly 😍 Good job guys 🙌🏻👍🏻🤗

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Oh I love it!

[@iraleebarnett4760]

Love it!!! And how nice for you to make this space prettier for your community! Good job!!!!

[@courtneypodgorski]

This is my favorite! I’m part of the scroll saw community and it’s so awesome to see people like you and Lizzy be so inspiring and welcoming to people that just want to master their craft! You all did such an amazing job. Couldn’t love this video more 💗

[@eimearosullivan1197]

I love this!! And following your pegboard tutorial - just wondering why the holes should be alternating?

[@kymhouse8158]

I can't believe people are negative! That whole thing of 'don't have anything nice to say' needs to make a comeback!! This looks great & has such a great vibe!! Congrats hun, you've done it again 🤩🤩🤩

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you very much xx.

[@gabihuggins5042]

The results are stunning. I bet so many more pilates selfies are happening in that studio now :) Love that you helped out a local business!

[@esterixis]

I like the color visualizer app, but I also cut large squares out of poster board, & paint them using the sample size pots. Double stick tape on back, & I can move them around.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Oh that's a great DIY option too.

[@ambernakasone6141]

I loved watching this video! I love seeing how people give back to their community. I especially loved how your friends helped too.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

They are the best!

[@jank1o0o]

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Loving you friend!

[@AthenaAthena]

I'm a painter and photographer. Getting instant feedback from the professors and classmates back in college was brutal sometimes. But hey, everything isn't for everyone. It looks good girl! Great job.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I agree! It was a great skin thickener.

[@cherylk8781]

Amazing😍 I can't imagine why anyone would have anything negative to say about this space. Please continue to do the awesome work that you do. I love that you surround yourself /collaborate with other likeminded and talented humans. You rock!💞

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much Cheryl - really appreciate that.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you 😊 .

[@zoecisneros5596]

It’s nerve wracking to hear feedback on anything we do! It’s human nature 🤷🏾‍♀️ but just do your thing and roll with it! A fresh perspective or point of view can make the world of a difference and we may not see it at first. So happy for you!! Thanks for sharing this exciting project with us!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you for the love and support Zoe!

[@daisyfernandez2572]

[@itspatricialeon5658]

Who would give negative comments on this project? It’s literally amazing

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thanks for this one!

[@OZ01209]

I love almost everything you all did with this. It's really awesome. Great attempt with the mural, however, in my opinion, it's way to busy and kind of messy looking for a business. If this was someone's house I could understand, but for a business it bothers me. It's definitely not boring, so that's a plus! 😉 I know other people love it and that's great.🥰 Everyone has different feedback to offer. I think the colors are great, but y'all could have done so many other things like ombre the walls, do 3D squares/rectangles/ checker board with the dark color as the line. A giant "V" on each wall with all the colors would be cool, or 2-3 thick rows of "Chevron" with all three colors. Even a giant clean edge astric outlined in that dark color or painted the words the dark color. From a decorating point of view I prefer clean lines or if it's going to be abstract at least have some flow. Less is more. Also, for a business do a few templets on paper first instead of free-hand. 💗 I love the words on the walls, but I feel the busy mural takes away from the words standing out. Good try though! Never give up! Learn and keep moving forward. Love your channel Rachel! 😘💞

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thanks for the feedback but I am so proud of Elena doing this in a business for her first mural ever - I personally wouldn't change a thing but be sure to implement that into murals you do! I'll give her the feedback xx.

[@melissal6275]

You can’t make everyone happy but I love seeing your growth! It’s really inspiring. Heck the haters

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you Melissa 🥰.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

You're so welcome!

[@Ingridlosneslokken]

This is so cool!! You made it look like a completely different space! So inviting 😍

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you! The mural is the package of colors I showed on the video - it's a color combo pack.
