Building Myself a Tiny Kitchen in the Desert

- Thank you to Goal Zero seriously - this tiny trailer home wouldn't be possible without the power. Excited to be thinking smarter and having portable power systems that can go with me anywhere, anytime to power all my devices, power tools and batteries.
Goal Zero Yeti 6000X (YETI6000X + (2) BOULDER200 BRIEFCASE SOLAR GENERATOR): www.goalzero.c...
Yeti Tank Expansion Battery (2400WH YETI EXPANSION SYSTEM): www.goalzero.c...
Power Port 30 FT Extension Cable: www.goalzero.c...
Finally we are pass the bones of my trailer renovation and into the skin, the details, the beauty. None of that can be enjoyed if I do not have enough power to use the appliances, TV... etc. No fear, Goal Zero and their portable power stations are here! I did not see the point of investing the high quotes I received for permanent electrical when the guest house will not be used all that often. I decided to start this kitchen renovation by prepping for the power we'll need by building custom cabinets for the first time. These DIY cabinets hold the power that will power the appliances that live between them.

That window in the kitchen looks like framed art 😍😍
The reason I'm obsessed with this channel because It's literally DIY !! I love the way you restore things and use scraps from your backyard to create a new project ( yes you buy some new materials if it's necessary but like you really reuse scraps 👑) and it makes me more like you coz you don't pretend that everything you did is perfect ,you always show us that sometimes you make mistakes. You're literally talented! And I'm so proud of you always! You are my inspiration! I will forever support this channel!!! You deserve all the love in the world 🥰😘
Gosh! Thank you!
Anybody that builds cabinets in a flannel bathrobe and fuzzy slippers is ok in my book. Looks great!
🤍
You are such an inspiration to so many women, young and old. Love how real you are. I know you get sick of hearing this but you truly are effin amazing! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Never get sick of it! Love you xx.
I myself had taken a break from socials. I just watched your last three videos including this one and Rachel, I really hope you see this.
Something my grandma always told me that has now become my life mission to pass along is: “
Bad days are not steps backwards, just merely pauses in your progression.”
It’s okay to pause. Dark periods aren’t always regression, they’re just breaks from our journey of progression. Moments to stop and reevaluate, we’re all allowed to have that. I love you girl and I love watching your journey of learning to love yourself.
Loving you, thank you for this xx.
Amen. Wise woman and thank you for sharing this. It makes for a wonderful Mantra.
I love you girl. Thinking outside the box is my jam. Not vanilla. Your ideas always come out so amazing.
Loving you xx.
1:41 Picture frame window...perfect for kitchen window thoughts with Rachel.
Love it! Incorporating that into the next episode xx.
I'm obsessed with your styling. I love that it's evolving with you and it's just so good! It's also so cool that I'm working on a cabinet build myself and it just feels like you're right there with me.
That's my goal!
The Rachel that I started following some years ago is definitely not the same that I watched today, but one thing I need to say: you're hard working and do not give up! Amazing job and I look forward to seeing the next videos from you kitchen. Love from Germany 🇩🇪
Thank you so much!
Building your own kitchen is very impressive! You just know what you want and go for it. Even if you have never done it before and you are not afraid about things not working perfectly right away. And in the end - you get things done. I find that inspiring. And I love the inclusion of the solar system. In the desert it makes so much sense and it's safer than nuclear power plants.
Thank you for this xx.
Why not Rachael! Use that sun! I am always blown away by your design and skillzzz and those cabinets are your own thang. Love them. Looking forward to seeing the next steps. Take your time ...we are her for you😃🇬🇧
Thank you for the love xx.
What an amazing job, Rachel!!
A girl after my own heart and you've got a big heart. There is a lot of planning involved in custom designs, but you've got this, & it's gonna be awesome 👌
Thank you 🙏🏼.
Honestly, it feels like you uploaded today just for me, lol. Watching you revitalize your space reminds me what a little perseverance and grace💖 As long as joy and self-fulfillment is the goal, we're gonna get where we're trying to go.
We got this xx.
So impressed with your diy skills. You said it...DIY so you can live the life you want to live. That is it exactly. We do all the reno stuff we hate to do ...to get to live in the kind of style and life we want.
🤍
Hey, girl hey!!!!!! It's looking good
Thank you!
Loving the two toned look so far.
Their is nothing you can’t and don’t do!you slay all the things girl!love ya
Love you!
Um, take a moment here. The view out the kitchen window looks like someone put an amazing piece of art on the wall, but no, it's the VIEW!!!! Sick!
It's insane!
Yay Rachel!!! Nice to see you still on point and working hard on your land!! Sending love from Ohio!!❤
we love your Rachel!
Love you!
Very interesting use of materials, can't wait to see what's next!
Loveeeeee the plaster finish
Thank you!
Been waiting for a plaster kitchen cabinet tutorial. Once again you knocked it out the park! Thanks for the inspo
Thank you!
Hello :) I am that one with seventimes flooded house by rain. We started kitchen & living room reno today. So you lead competition :D So Christmass? Can we do it? Oh I have to. No other option. I am not going to celebrate in hotel. (And yes we dyi as well.)
The wood veneer against the plaster is so chic, your style really gives a french modern rich feel to your spaces and your just making it based off of how it makes you feel and that what makes it so unique and interesting.
Ah thank you!
I know I’m not the only one that seen that heart door! 😭 I need!
🥰
It is always such a pleasure when you put out a new video. Brightens my day right up. It has been so exciting watching you get to this point in the trailer and I am here for the journey to the end. And that door you made is so cute. Fabulous, darling, fabulous. You got this girl. Cheers to you🥂💫💜🌸🌼🌺🌻🏵🌹🌷⚘
Thank you! ❤️🔥
Right on time. I was just looking for tiny kitchen builds.
I was a little worried about how those cabinets were going to look with the plaster but you totally pulled it off. Not traditional by any means but a very cool look. Great job, especially for doing something unique and creative.
Thank you!
Love your vids! And your message!❤
Thank you!
Love it! Cannot wait till it’s all completed! you’re doing amazing! ❤
The view from your kitchen window is incredible! Cute door with the hearts! I missed that build somehow. Very cool to have that power source. Looking forward to seeing how you set that up in your kitchen.
Great video. Informative. As always Thank you.
Thank you Denise!
I love the cabinets! So excited to see how you create the rest of the kitchen! Love from Canada ❤
the laminate wood with the plaster is so stunning. love these tones together! 😍🤤
Can't wait to see how the kitchen turns out 😍 I just saw a sneak peek of the tiles on ig 😳 LOVE IT!
Thank you!
New Rachel❣
Twinsies‼️ I am also 5'8". 🙂
I just put up my toe kicks and painted flat black against the cherry cabinets. I learn so much watching you and even if its not perfect for me i think nothing is perfect so its ok. Love your channel
Love you! Thanks for being here.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz i never want to miss an episode. Happy Thanksgiving
Can’t stop won’t stop watching your videos since you came up in my recommendeds earlier this week. 🧡
Ugh LOVE you, thank you xx.
the plaster with the wood tones, and the little details😭💜💜 ure so cool
Awe thank you!
Honestly, this is the part of the build I've been most excited about
Thank you! Excited to show you what else I got.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz yay! I can't wait!
Yoooo Rhaaacheelle, the plaster & vinyl wood is looking pretty tight!! I know you're gonna do something super cool with the entire project. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Thank you!
Great breakdown on the cabinets!
Wow thank you!
Those cabinets!! Very creative!
Thank you!
Love!!!
Very cool, so curious how that kitchen is going to be looking 😬
And you live in the perfect place to have Solar power all over the year 👍🏻
Thank you for watching)
Good job! Luv the solar.
Great vid keep it up girl you got it slow and steady babe
Thank you!
Good morning!!!
Love this for you
You should seal the plaster. Is a very pourous material and is going to look very dirty very soon
Great idea!
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz I use it for art projects and we always put something to close it up
Yayyyyy…missed you!!!!
Missed you more!
I looooove this!!!❤
About to wach it YAY A Rach vid 😃💐🎉 🥰
always 🕺🏜️
Finally ❤🙂
Love you. Soo amazing
Awesome ✨
WoW !!
I’m loving your look with the pigtail braids and gold glasses. Super cute
Would this goal zero system be able to power a entire tiny home?
Thank you!
I feel like if the shelf was thicker it would look much nicer
YES! I am going to cap it next episode with the appliance install!
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz OMG I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU SAW MY COMMENT loveeee you so much !
Hi Rachel 👋
Would have more space to add drawers that come out of your toe kicks too
Make sure to do that in your kitchen for sure! I'm DIY'ing storage elsewhere.
😇🙏🏻🙏🏻
💖💖
Anyone found comparable, cheaper solar generators? 😬 Ballin on a budget.
I'm sooo curiouse how it will look all finished :D
Me too!
🌟
💚💚💚💚💚❣
I so need a 90 degree angle bit for my drill
The best.
Why not pop those on the outside...w/ access from both sides (in/out) with slide out cabinet for easy access to your GOAL ZERO.
Appliances will be there xx.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz I mean outside the trailer 😊
But because of weather and such I thought having access inside is good
That way the cabinet on the inside could be used for storage
I’m sure ventilation would be necessary, but I do love slides in the cabinet
Why not make the whole cabinet slide out with the Goal Zero behind it
I wish I could draw
Loved your bed🤩
It looks like you inset the toe kick around the sides too and I'm not sure why. Wouldn't you want it flush to the sides so there's no gap between the cabinets and the appliances?
Ha 🤦🏻♀️ my brain.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz Lol, it happens. I thought there might be a specific reason you did it that I wasn't seeing.
Love your channel, you remind me a lot of my baby sister and I like that you are including more about your life in the videos. Progress is rarely linear!
Finally got a notification. Why was I not getting any?
I'm not sure but that makes me happy you are now!
Are you gonna be adding anything to the doors?
I'm not sure yet! Holding details for the overall design/detail portion of the makeover.
❤️❤️❤️
I love the blue door with the heart windows! Is that new or did I miss the video?
It's original to the playhouse that was on the property. I am repurposing it.
Wow, did your sponsor give you all of that great gear?
Yes! 👏 very blessed.
Hi Rachel, can I ask you what is the difference between using concrete or plaster in these kind of projects?
Plaster for white and easy access for me!
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz are you suggesting it for covering daily use surfaces? I want to cover some wooden drawer fronts
