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.

such a handsome makeover 😉
It looks stunning!!! Obviously lol. Also, I couldn’t agree more; painting is the worst! I recently moved to Wisconsin and I’m in the process of painting my place and I hate it ha. Unfortunately I have no friends here to help 😭👎🏻.
Thank you!!
I love the wall color ! It’s " there but not there " … a very calm mood
I’m on day 4 of painting my bedroom…I hate painting rooms, but love the transition…!
Dude I’m actually obsessed with the 3 little arched mirrors! They’re so cute!!
Ooo I appreciate the into. Very, james bond ish/peter McKinnon ish
Cute boyyyyyyyy Yay
On a budget,but more than thousands of dollars…
💕💕💕
Love the way this turned out. Absolutely beautiful. 💕💕💕
Woooww 👌
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.
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??
Hey we miss you
Rachel you are so good at designing and knowing what to match
Shout Out to the “cute boy” for the help! 🤭 I see ya Ms. Metz 👀
What is the red tool you add to the drill to get those angle screws in?
What is the hidden screw drill tool? The blue one
that mirror decor was a happy mistake. I like it better like this.
Love the color
Okay soooo I deadass went all the way to his Ig to get his name and girllll Bryan is a good name👀 I was thinking about Brychel as your ship name😂🤣
I love your diy..i think you have gift in creating.just simple everyday i love and mirror 2 other poster,make this place beautiful..i have problem to saw,drill quite complicated for me living in singapore city life..but i am really enjoyed your channel.to me some of yhe diy you make
Do you have to trim? When I paint I feel like you can tell the trim from the inside part or touchups
I love the art ledge and the colours
So peaceful..😍
Where did u get ur hand-ring from?
What camera do you film with?
Watching your videos and I always wondered why you hated painting so much until I decided to paint my entire house 🥴. Taping out a room to getting the lines completely even (The Virgo/perfectionist) are going to be the death of me. When I got to my living room, I completely stopped caring and my lines are wonky af 🤷🏽♀️
withwendy and shmoxd in a Rachel video! 👍❤️ yassss
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)
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…
If you ever have to cut glass again, a tip for going around any big curve like those arches! instead of making those off shoots like you did after tracing the whole curve, you can cut out the arch in smaller sections by tracing a bit of the curve and then trailing off to the edge of the glass in a straight line. That way you can break off smaller pieces instead of doing that whole curve at once, and you can sand any rugged edges like you did (:
Cute boi is cute
Very cool diy super girl! I though to finish it up why not adding a very cool rug into the space 😎👌🏽
That circle hack is exactly what I did when I created my circle painted wall. It makes sense if you know math, it’s essentially a compass.
Also do you have any videos showing how to caulk? The line I got is wonky and the thickness varies too much also can you touch up caulk?
It inspires us to makeover our own homes ❤
Tip – Remember safety first. Always wear protective gearing.

Shmoxd x Rachel Metz?! HERE FOR IT.
I love to paint.
Get it girl !!!!
beautiful!!
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

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!!
Okay cute boy.
