FINALLY - also who’s excited for the walk up “saloon” bar window? WE BACK BABY XX.

[@avinardell]

Our girl is back!!!! ❤❤❤

[@marileemuniz2513]

I can’t wait to see all the new things you bring been fan of your work sprite and energy. Love it you did it again bravo 👏

[@bbk2325]

💃🏻LED LIGHTS 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

[@danadz2383]

Good for you battling through! Looks sweet!

[@justwaya5101]

I love how you have grown back into yourself....you are such a bad-ass-bitch!!! Simply love your content!!!

[@NYMusic89563]

Don’t feel like you have to get things done “for us”. We will wait. Take it easy. You finally just got your dream home and you deserve to enjoy the process.

[@martymaloney1032]

What she said.

[@skellingtongurrl]

Since snakes shed their skin, they represent transformation, renewal and even rebirth! Such a perfect representation of this journey you are on!

[@misbauman8496]

Yes but omg that was a big @ss snake!

[@MiavonDoom]

came here to literally say this!

[@bbk2325]

This is an astute observation and incredibly spot on! 💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@StephBer1]

What sort of snake was that? I'm from Australia where most snakes will kill you, so I literally gasped when I saw it on the video!

[@OZ01209]

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe that snake is her spirit guide during this whole makeover. 😇🐍 It will be interesting if he hangs around her next build or a different critter pops up.

[@turningleaf365]

Honestly appreciate the real life version of a house diy. It overwhelms me when I watch the channels that have the flawless process with the beautiful reveal and pretend like it took them a day. I am like you and first purchased a house as a single female, realistically it can take me months to finish a project.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Ah thank you! I'm excited to show the reality through and through no matter how long it takes.

[@Liza03V]

The fact that you honour the mid century era girl is amazing. I love that you keep mentioning the previous owner in every vlog. You were the best after owner for this property. Please continue reusing the materials that you already have. Keep going.👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

[@azizicuddles9091]

I’m sorry that the floor was such a frustrating process for you but I admire your resilience. You kicked that floor’s butt and it came out lookin great! The life of a hardcore DIY-er is tough! We don’t mind if you aren’t always consistent with video uploads 🖤 the wait is always worth it 🥰

[@CarmenCosta6570]

I absolutely agree with that, it is always worth to wait for your great video's, I love your content and I love you. From the Nederlands with admiration, Carmen.

[@lozxcam]

I’ve never seen that kind of arch mirror wall. It’s stunning. You have given me so much inspiration!!! ❤️❤️ welcome back and I’m glad your back ☺️☺️

[@kimpaynter]

This mirror wall is sick great idea keep on going you’ve got this

[@lechatbotte.]

Yay, I’m glad you took a breather a great thing to do. I’ve been thinking it’s about time for another great video. Love love love. I love Mike he makes any project is way better. Yep up with the chickens before the heat starts. I learned that living in that desert for more than twenty years. You guys rocked it despite all the hassles.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Love you guys.

[@autumnmott24]

You've been kicking ass, babe. Always know it's okay to just take your time on a project and don't feel pressured to release on any type of schedule. We love you and will always be ready to cheer you on. 💛 And damnnnnn that mustard yellow is perfect.

[@raphaelasousa]

Once I saw a professional floor video explaining how to level the floor by the easiest way. He explained that all the tools that companies recommended to use in order to make the job easy just double the work. His technique is exactly throwing the cement or whatever to the floor and let the gravity makes all the work. I was struggling seeing you suffering and then you figured it out. Less is more! You did a really great job!

[@atlasphere]

How can 27 ppl give a thumbs down? I can't even. Your talent, grace and humor are unmatched. It takes courage to create, to be vulnerable, in public. You are loved and appreciated.

[@carrie9716]

The vintage touches were so cute 😍 I just loved how the room was warm and playful and desert appropriate

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@katiebehling9481]

Doing a mild reno on a house me and my family will be moving into and its kicking my butt. I'm mean cat pee and mouse poo for days but your videos give me the motivation to keep going. Especially this one!!

[@natasharose]

You inspire me so much. I felt the pain of that concrete floor 😭

[@carlyh6913]

I wanted to fight that concrete floor, that's how much I felt it

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I punched it a couple times, don't worry.

[@astzfat3319]

Double Ditto!

[@InternerVodkaAunt]

Someone once told me we don’t realise what we give to other - knowing you take a step back , regroup and keep going is why we watch your channel. It’s especially important for women to see other women doing something new, finding out it doesn’t work, then going back at it. You’ve inspired me to take baby steps to do my own upgrades, but also to step back and let it happen, and be ok with that.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you very much for this xx.

[@iseejewelz3874]

I commend her for living alone , I couldn't do that cause my depression is waaayyyyyy bad when I'm alone and I never ever wanna go back to those times

[@Kimmygrace__]

OMGGGGG This makeover is INSANE! The mirror wall, the colour, the roofing, the styling at the endd. Omg. Literally, everything looks perfect- wowza!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@o0bluemilk0o]

I love and appreciate you being raw with your projects and emotions. Diy isn't a filtered and simple endeavor. Learning from mistakes is the only way to truly level up.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you for this!

[@valoriegonzales3167]

I am having the absolute worst allergy attack of my life and I can barely open my eyes but I still watched the whole thing. Glad you’re taking your time with your projects though, no need to rush. Especially since it is YOUR home.

[@TamarLitvot]

The mirror wall is truly amazing! I knew you were doing mirrors but had a completely different and lesser idea of what that meant. What you did was so much more interesting and more beautiful. Congratulations on the floor. Your perseverance is admirable and it finally paid off.

[@dianawilliams3514]

So excited watching this. Floor’s worth all the heartache love, it looks tremendous!! 💗

[@mabeltorres1973]

Yes Rachel coming in clutch with the new content

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Been long enough.

[@annajojohnson]

I Absolutely love that art/frame you made it's beautiful! The whole room is awesome. Also I died when you used all three names for you sweet puppy when she was in trouble. 😭 Glad you are back!

[@annalisi1865]

So excited that you're back. Glad you didn't give up....loved the outcome.

[@Dynamicdreams06]

Thank you for being sooo real and open. You’re incredible! 💛

[@tylerkaytipton]

Love, stop apologizing. Post when you can post. Take your time, this is your home, there's no rush. We will still be here ready to watch whenever you are ready to post 😊

[@oppositeoflumos]

I’m OBSESSED with this design oh my gosh!!! Also when you hugged the center arch it was the sweetest thing. This is stunning, I’m in love with it. I can’t wait to see more!!

[@algp576]

That looks *amazing*, and totally worth the wait. Your attitude and your work are such an inspiration!

[@kels.92]

Oh my heart is so happy. I have been dying to see your amazingly gifted skills complete yet another makeover. Gahhh. Beautiful.

[@MarianneKornelius15]

Thank you for pushing through with this video and the floors! I felt that frustration come through watching the concrete. I’m glad it was a learning experience and that you have friends like Mike to help you🥳♥️

[@mindux26]

[@melissarusso5726]

[@mjade8784]

[@alemarie239]

Shero perseverance paid off everything turn out so well. I'm so proud of you. You show women that if you can do it they can. If I sound like an grandma its because I am. The sky is the limits for you. Wishing you many continued blessings.

[@MotherOfWednesday]

I will take the ground squirrel over the snake all day every day. One of the lessons I take away from your videos is perseverance. You are such an inspiration

[@healingwater111]

[@NaturalJournee]

Wow wow wow every detail of this space is soooo perfect! The color, the accents, the personal touches…. I adore thissssss

[@thisgirljinnie]

Rach it looks soooo good! I’m so glad you didn’t give up, you’re a trooper 🤍

[@thisabledwoman3637]

So happy to see you back! The room is amazing! You are so inspiring to me. I have CIDP & I’m physically unable to be able to do these types of projects-however watching you has given me the confidence to buy a couple of power tools & do a few small DIYS on my own. They aren’t ANYTHING on the scale of your projects, but just know that you’re an inspiration & push to someone who on some days can hardly walk. Thanks for being such a #bossbae

[@ellamitchell2036]

OH MY GODDDDD IT LOOKS SO GOOOOOOODDDDDD. I am obsessed with the mirror wall!

[@emilywheeler2757]

Omg I’ve been practically stalking your channel everyday waiting for a new post😂 looovvveeee it!!!

[@judyflynn1604]

You ALWAYS win in the end. What an amazing transformation. I need to see more👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕💖

[@mommashawna707]

Oh my! My grandfather owned a cement company for decades. So it ran in our family but you usually have those strings of chalk going down the ends and then smoothing it out with a 2 x 4 to level it and you do have to wet the cement so it doesn’t dry so quickly even for the first 24 hours so you don’t get big cracks.

[@amybeatty5526]

Omg, for real?? That mirror wall and that DIY art!! Gorgeous lady!

[@eauneau]

Awesome, Rach! You did it again! My hats off to anyone with the God-given patience for wallpapering or concrete flooring. My gifts lie elsewhere. ❤️

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!!!!

[@Mrsthekatspyjamas]

It looks phenomenal!! Love all of it. And so appreciate you sharing the struggles. Can’t tell you how many tears I’ve cried over my house while renovating.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Me too. So many tears.

[@sosubmiss]

You have sooooo much creativity, it doesn't surprise me that sometimes making it happen is going to have a steep learning curve! But don't give up! You're amazing, you come up with so many gorgeous idea & follow through! You're inspiring & I'm sure many will agree in saying, we appreciate you & all your efforts xxx

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thanks May!

[@ClaireCambridge]

So excited for you!

[@sampleworks9432]

I admire your perseverance! I had similar frustrations trying to refinish a hardwood floor for the first time. Went on for three weeks in the hottest weather ever and a cat that found clever ways to walk on a drying floor lol. Unbeknownst to me, she had a secret path thru a furnace vent 😩. Your final room look is award worthy 💕

[@carlyh6913]

Lmao when Cali blinked lovingly at you thru the door, all while not looking sorry for being a savage to squirrel 😍😍 🐿️ 🐶

[@mrshadae08]
