Thank you Felix Gray for sponsoring this episode xx.
We went from wanting to open up the walls to changing up our minds and working with what we have currently since Holly liked having some separation of rooms after I did the fireplace. This DIY living room makeover is "extreme" but insanely doable for all levels of DIY’er’s. I love how although this makeover is so drastic …it costed me less than $100.

Tip for cutting glass: you have to break it right after you cut it. If you wait longer, you get a "cold cut" and the tension in the glass makes it break where it wants. So you should prepare each side separately and then break it immidedly
Oh wow - pinning this comment.
Don't forget to pin this comment 🙂
I’ve also seen that holding the glass under water helps reduce the amount of energy needed to cut it and helps to make a cleaner cut.

THE GREEN LIVES! Throughout this video, you will find basic tips and tricks for anyone looking to refresh their space but it may be their first time doing so. I love when I can use what the clients already has and still make the room feel totally different. I know this is a later in the evening upload but I just missed you guys too much xx.
You are such a great TH-camr! I love how committed you are to your channel, your fans, and your work! You rock girl!! ❤️🙌🏻💪🏻
It looks amazing! I wish you were in Pennsylvania. My daughter and I plan on painting her room and I wish I had you out here to help me with ideas for the decor once we are done. I love your style.
We missed you more ☺️

Exactly what I needed on this Friday night. I’m a single mom and just moved into my first apartment with my 2 year old son. Love watching your channel, gives me so much inspiration to decorate my own space 🥰
Stella! Slide into my DM's on IG if you ever need help with any tips and tricks. You sound like one badass mama making your house a home.
Go Stella! I was in your position 23 years ago. It gets better and better. Much love to you. Happy parenting and joyful decorating. Cheers, Mauna
Shmoxd! Love his videos, little collab I was not expecting!
Me neither but I'll keep him xx.
Aww I love this "collab" He's so artistic and cute 💜 I looove Wendy too and I love you every day Rachel 😄😘 thank you! 😃
LOVE YOU MORE!
My first thought after watching this video was, "Is that guy single?" coz I'm lowkey shipping you both 🥰 As always love your work Rachel 😘
Haha what would our ship name be? He is single.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz OMG! you both are so good in DIY, I kinda like how layback you both are in your videos too.. What a match! ♥️ That got me thinking about your ship name and.. Schmoxel is what I came up with hahaha 🤣
Here for this! 😝
i ship so v much
Tip for when you're painting the trim: fill a left over yoghurt pot or something similar with the paint, that way you don't have to keep climbing up and down the ladder to top up the paint on your brush. You'd be amazed how much time it saves (and you end up with way fewer bruises on your legs too!)
Thank you!
Solo cups work well for this too 😜
am I the only one who heard her voice change when she said the man gave a "hands on approach" 🤨🤔🤔🤔
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
no we all heard it
You know what I think? I think that's none of our business. Maybe she's just real excited about glass cutting. You don't know!
@@ArtemisScribe exactly😂 let our babe be excited about learning❤
@@ArtemisScribe I didnt mean it negatively at all just pointing it out for fun. I think she got that based on her reply
OMG I LOVE HIM!!! I have been following him for YEARS!!!
He's the best.
Right!! He is just so original and honestly refreshing! Not trying to be someone he’s not in front of the camera!:)
i was just about to say this, so happy two of my faves worked together!
I’m glad you two are friends!!:) “soooo yeah”
Haha
Mr. Shmoxd
That ledge with the artwork is gorgeous... had it been me breaking the mirror all you’d hear is cuss words, but you... were... so calm! And instead came up with a different diy on the spot! Good job! Love the outcome!! 🙌🏼
Thanks for the love!
Dude I’m actually obsessed with the 3 little arched mirrors! They’re so cute!!
They are my favorite.
Ooooh Rachel got herself a little DIY bae 🤣 loved this makeover as always!
🙃
I love how the mirrors came out. It looks like an artistic interpretation of “signal strength.” Something we see all the time on our devices up in the corner and something we all need in life.
Love it.
literally jumped when i saw the notification, thank you for your content and work !
OH YOU MADE MY NIGHT!
Another video to destress with after a stressful work week. You're the best Rachel
Oh that makes me so happy.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz *gasp* ok, that's it, this is hands down the best month of 2020.
The three mini arch mirrors look awesome on that shelf! Like better than the large single mirror would have I think. Nice save!
I watched one of your old videos for motivation this morning before I got on with day 2 of building a bar height table. Now it’s finished and I will relax with this video and a bath. Joy 💜
OH! YOU ARE A BADASS! Long day builds and a bath are KEY to success.
It does look like an entirely different space! such a great job! I wish that I had the patience and talent to create like you do, but my talents lie more in cleaning and organization! thanks so much for sharing! xoxo
YOU DO! Just take it in phases.
Keep trying, you might surprise YOURSELF!🤗
Woooo-hooooo, another makeover! Best way to end off my Friday night! 😁
Yay! Thank you!
OMG i LOVE this! gives me great ideas for my living room! I just LOVE your videos you have such a great style and i love your ideas!!! i love watching you videos!
You are far too kind!
I actually think painting in an odd way is therapeutic 🥰
In high school, I was in a class called Stage Craft, where we built sets and props for the Drama department and I was always given the detailed work cause I did pretty well at it and enjoyed doing that myself 🥰👍🏻
Yeessss when my two favorite DIY’ers work together to make something that wasn’t planned but super cool.
So happy seeing you guys work together. Love you guys
Love him.
Great job with this wall, simple, chic, and adaptable for growth. Rachel you never disappoint. 💛From Texas
Thank you for your love and support!
posted 8 seconds ago??? yes Rachel you've made my friday night!!
YOU MADE MINE!
It's insane how talented you are! Thanks for your videos. Hugs from Paris, France
You are way too kind!
I didn't see it the end result yet but I LIKED it already this by seeing your thumbnail. Just wow!
AH! Thank you!
This is amazing! What I love is how you are refining a space and elevating someone’s personal taste. This can be applied to anyone which is great!
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for being so honest about the time it takes to paint! When you watch someone else do it, it looks so easy. I painted our small living room and it took me forever & i now hate painting! But it looks great!
Thank you for watching!
I love the wall color ! It's " there but not there " ... a very calm mood
Love when I get notifications of your videos! Makes my day! 😍❤️🙌🏻 also I’m so glad that glass broke because those three staggering arched mirrors are EVERYTHING 😍😍😍😍 need those in my life!! Also glad you are having “cute boy” help you out! You deserve it!
My favorite creators on TH-cam always talking/collabing, With Wendy, Shmoxd, Rachel Metz, Lone Fox.. 🖤🖤🖤
Love the small touches and how you transform everything!! Hope you're well beautiful!!!
Thanks love!
It’s amazing to me how something so simple can transform a space. Love that art ledge.
Isn't it fun?
The queens done it again. This might be one of my favorite makeovers. I definitely see myself sleeping in that living room.
Wow! I was so worried about this one so thank you for this.
Best of luck with your new friendship with a fellow DIY TH-camr. Making new friends without any expectations is part of the fun of being single. You are free to spend time with anyone you like and it doesn't have to go anywhere!
Being too critical of imperfections I've created myself is the most difficult part of DIY projects. I see that paint booger on the wall I made, my slighly crooked cut, etc.. Yes! Just keep going 💕
Yeah I am NOT perfect but that doesn't stop me from making a house a home.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz Just to clarify.. I see the imperfections when I make them. I don't criticize yours or anyone else's 💌 You do exceptionally well with your projects 💞
Rachel you are so good at designing and knowing what to match
Just a tip I’ve learned from years of painting... invest in a good quality artist angled paint brush (Michael’s coupon) to use for crisp clean cut-in’s and small bowl/cup of paint. I promise it will save you time and money on the back end i.e. less time/money on Painter’s tape and cleaning up wonky lines. 🤷🏽♀️ just a suggestion.
I love painting rooms! I believe it is very therapeutic!
AH! Come do mine!
The mirror came out even better than I expected! Amazing job
I own a glass shop. You tried to cut an inside curve which is really high level glass cutting skill. Cut off as many straight edges as you can and then slowly going around the curve in small sections.
Man...I would've been like....Bump that mirror LOL. Kudos to you! I love the ledge.
My heart is exploding! Shmood and Rachel thank you diy gods! ❤️ Rad!
He's my favorite.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz you're both my favorite!
Love the way this turned out. Absolutely beautiful. 💕💕💕
Thank you!
I love this so much!! You did an amazing job with all the DIYs and style in this room!!❤️
Your videos are like my favourite ever to watch, I just finished renovating my pantry TODAY and you totally inspire me to get it done 💪💕
I'm so glad!
when i get old enough to get a job i actually always wanted to be an interior architect and your videos inspire me so much!! (im sorry if my spelling is wrong i am not an america or from an english country)
Rachel, you are an inspiration. Wishing you all the best! p.s. I love the woodworking tips
Thanks for the love.
Happiness is waking up to one of your videos!
Thank you for love!
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz I think it's safe to say that we ALL have your back 💕
I'm so in love with this shade of green Holly's picked. She has such great taste!
She really does!
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz I'm building a potting table at the community garden I volunteer at and someone brought down wood paint for us to use on it and I opened the tin today and it was THE EXACT SAME SHADE of green! I think it's fate!
It looks so good🖤 I love how you styles the picture ledge & I love how the mirrors turned out.
Thank you!
I believe that yours and 1 other person's videos are the only ones that I can like before watching it.
💛 it!
You make me me! So thank you for showing your love and support over here. It doesn't go unnoticed!
I actually enjoyed painting the wall myself. Being the perfectionist , I prefer doing it myself :D. Painting walls calms ke down and silences my overactive brain. As usual, tq for making videos that is inspiring and honest, your videos are always straight forward and your journey is always real be it successes or mistakes during diy, tq so so much.
god i love your channel so so much it’s so satisfying watching you transform a space with all the diying and you never miss. is there nothing you can’t do??
None of what I do is perfect but I love sharing what I'm learning.
Rachel Metz - you inspire me to go get some power tools!!! I have an old electric drill, but today I bought a new cordless drill, with all the accessories and am eyeing up a new jig saw (I have an oldie one of these too, but have not used for years) I want to start making some repairs around the house and maybe try some DIY. I am watching all your videos, and love them!! I love your style, I love your tutorials and I love your DOGGIES xxx. BONUS!!! to see your dogs too!!!
Hell yes!
Love how it turned out! Nice work Rachel. 🖤
Thank you!
Svaka cast,sa par detalja dnevna soba je kao nova👏👏
Shmoxd x Rachel Metz?! HERE FOR IT.
🥰
Im just here getting inspo for my future first apartment at damn near 2am I love it here!!
YAS! I need my own space.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz My first major project I'll be sure to tag you for inspo!
Rachel! yes girl living for you and this makeover and everything you stand for!
YOU KEEP ME GOING!
Hello friend. As per usual Metz you knocked it out of the park. Beautiful. OneLove.
Thank you!
I loved the three mirror trio, it’s a cute idea!! I would definitely want to see another collab soon!
It's so cute. There will be a lot of collabs xx.
That mirror diy is absolutely gorgeous! Here I am going to find myself a good quality glass cutter and give it a go! Also love that you and Shmoxd are friends, such a great match of chill :)
what a welcome surprise !!! I was nervous no video this week im so happy! looks amazing
YAY! Sorry it was late - I was on vacation at the beginning of this week.
I love the decorative details, like the shelves and the decorations on the coffee table. The throw pillows on the sofa are also very cute. I should buy similar ones for my LC3 Sofa from Manhattan Home Design, which looks a bit empty. Nice tour! :)
Your videos are really great. I would love to see some series from you on how to avoid annoying mistakes, like when you're painting, drilling and such. Mistakes people that only fix something in the house once a year do, but can cost time / money and frustration.
Also, I just realized it's so good that your face is not showing a lot during the videos. That realization came just after the previous one during your other "best friend call me out" video that I couldn't do much of anything else than breath looking at that face, so it would've been a pity to miss any part of your great work.
So, yeah...
Who thinks painting is fun? 👀 me! I’d rather do it myself.. like a true Virgo. Perfection!
paint tip!!! clark and kensington paint, or royal paint (they’re both made by the same company) are the BEST PAINTS!!!! it saves you so many coats because it covers so evenly and so well! i’ve painted probably a thousand times with at this point probably every brand, and after much trial and error, i’ve found these paints are the best best best!!! also so much more affordable than almost all others!!
killin’ it as always, Rachel! I’ve been with your channel since it’s earliest roots and to see the growth of your overall journey- but namely, from a DIY enthusiast to full-on badass and self-taught carpentry savant has been nothing short of inspiring.
and can I just say, the collaboration between the two of you is actually a total shmooxd! (see what I did there?)
Thank you so so so much! Shmoxd has been a verb in my world for a couple months so I love you said that.
It inspires us to makeover our own homes ❤
Love the green color and the fireplace.
Yay!
I am loving all of this content. I cannot wait until we get to watch you do your house.
Thank you love xx.
I love your videos so much! I was waiting for a new one!
Thank you! I was nervous about posting this one for some reason.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz the video and the fact that you replied to me made my day so much better. Thank you for your amazing work 😄😄
I was just missing you and BOOM......a video. Thank you and beautiful work as always😉
MISSED YOU MORE!
Sweet touches make such a difference!
Right?
Girl I just painted my entry wall dark hunter green,I was like I will get done in like four hours just like my fav diywoman, NOOOOPE took my husband and I three days WTH! Thanks for telling me that I’m not alone and it takes you forever as well lol
WOW the wood glue and sawdust trick is super smart
I just luv ur videos and how u explain things to us u make it soooo easy , can u please do a terrazzo DIY ?
Hehhehe finally a Rachel Metz notification that I can watch immediatly. You made my day. Have a nice one too
🖤
so pretty!!!! the muted green paint looks so elegant and cohesive. everything looks realistic in this makeover. also, have you looked into getting a rug for the living room? It could be that one thing that definitely makes everything else stand out, even with a tad of green!
She doesn't want one since we have three dergs and they are outside inside dogs so we are keeping tile until we can get wood!
You make me so motivated in general, just needed to tell yoU!
You are way too kind xx.
yAY so happy to see a new vid!
Thank you for watching!
Saturday morning dose of inspo. Awesome as always 🥰 Hugs 🤗
Oh yay!
Love that transformation.😍
Thank you!
Still obsessed with that fireplace!

@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz omygosh you answered 😂 I love your videos by the way! it's very inspiring - inspiring me to be creative and all 👍😁
Checl DIY Dany! They had cut a mirror so perfectly
I love the art ledge and the colours
Thank you!
You have the most smoothest transitions into advertising your sponsor
Omg! My eyes nearly popped out when I saw that this new video was out😆
Thanks love!
Curved cuts on glass are so stressful because there is a always a risk of cracking. I’ve done a few stain glass projects and the techniques we use could avoid that big crack that happened. I would suggest checking some videos out if you’ll be doing something like that again !
Shout Out to the “cute boy” for the help! 🤭 I see ya Ms. Metz 👀
🖤🥰
Just woke up its Saturday Morning and I see this made my day 💕 I thought my notifications where broken because I kept checking all week.
Thank you love! Sorry this one is late - missed you guys!

I love your work, you made me want to go college for interior design ❤️💜 thank you
