Such a beautiful property. Love how out of the box you are going with it. Looking forward to the Wall-e video if there’s gonna be one. So so happy that you can now just be YOU with decorating and show casing your creativity with your new home. Has totally shifted your vibe here on your channel in a great way !
I have a legit adrenaline rush watching you conquer everything thrown your way...yet left feeling so calm and wholesome after seeing you work on your space❤️hope you're having a great day 🥺❤️
I hope the desert life is treating you well, Rachel! Although I’m more of a beach gal at heart, I would love to experience going to Joshua Tree one day! 😄
Baaaaaaaabe! It really is insane how some paint can totally change a place up! Which honestly? Gives hope to those of us who are NEVER going to be rocking projects as epic as yours. Good to know we can still get an epic transformation with a roller!
Whoa. That is like the transformation of transformations. Absolutely incredible. Way to go Rachel Metz! Loving your style. Love it! I was on your Instagram yesterday looking at these pictures thinking, wait, is that the same place? Seriously can't tell. It's just so different and so wonderful. Amazing job. -ok I'll stop gushing but seriously!
Hey, Neighbor! The place looks great. Looking forward to every episode. Sounds like you are, eventually, incorporating everything I'm doing across the road... Outdoor bar/kitchen, hot tub, outdoor shower, cowboy pool, dartboard area, sauna, water feature, shade awnings, etc. Nice to see you knocking stuff out in weeks/months that took me years. You are truly living your desert fantasy. Don't forget the sunscreen. I just finished 6 months of chemo from that big old red ball in the sky. ;-)
I have a feeling that bamboo isn't going to last long... the sun is going to dry it out like hay and then the high winds will completely take it away within a year... luckily it wasn't too expensive and fairly easy to assemble. I do love the white and wood tones tough.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz I'm so sorry to hear about your sunburn! Hope you have aloe gel....I'm concerned about Cali's paws on that hot rock, do you think she's having problems? LOVE what you've done with the bar.
You're so fit, and I needed to hear you say you're tired doing all this. Thank you for keeping it real! Glad you're able to soak up all the gorgeousness each sunset. Enjoy!!
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz I'm about ten years older than you and my body is wrecked from five kids. Trying to take better care of myself and our new to us mid century house is exhausting! I just so appreciated that human connection despite our differences, cuz otherwise I feel like you're a kindred spirit. Keep rocking! **Those bamboo privacy fence screens are so kick ass. This turned out fantastic.
This transformation has to be one of my favourites! The colours and the overhang with the bamboo fence look great together! I always get excited for these new Joshua Tree episodes; keep up the good work!
I love how she explains she has shorts on under her shirt when she runnin around the DESERT on her OWN PROPERTY in a bathing suit like girl you ain't gotta defend yourself to noboDY
Rachel that's wonderful, I envy you a bit for finding such a beautiful place ! And of course it is amazing what you do! Ps. do not forget to rest from time to time!:-)
I'm watching you work and I'm admiring the view too and I was wondering if I could bring you, Mike, and IJessup and Ms Wood Brain barbecue if you would let me hang out....
I wasn't sure how that color was going to look, but somehow it really does make the structure blend into the background?? 🤯 It looks so stunning & I can't wait to see more!! 👏👏😍
Wow! That looks great! I'm so glad you now have a place of your own to call home. I've been following your journey and hoping you were entering better days. Breakups are hard, but you are a survivor. I'm so glad you have found your happy place.
I never thought I'd ever EVER want to live in a dessert, but you may have changed my mind (not that I will anytime soon, but that door is not just a little bit ajar and not completely closed haha)
Damn gorl, we are gonna have to rename you setzy metzy! Serving bawdy out there 🙌🙌🙌 I can totally picture the Tulum vibes, I wonder if you could sustain palm trees around the bar? Maybe if the grey water (washing machine water etc) was set up on sprinklers?
That looks SO GOOD!!! I was sad you were ripping the roof off at first, then I saw that bamboo sheeting and was like yus yus yesssssss! Nailed it, girl.
Oh my gosh this came out so beautiful! Also, I love how you're just out there working in your bikini, I do the same thing 🤣 it's just way too hot here in the desert!🤣🤣
OMG it´s so beautyfulll i have an outdoor space that i wish was like that, sad thing i don´t have the money to make it... but you are living your dream and aloud me to dream with something like this, so thank you!
This is probably my favorite makeover in a long time on your channel... you’ve been doing a lot of color, nothing wrong but I do appreciate a simple, neutral, Bahamas vibe 🍃
Heck yeah!!!! Can’t wait to party in it tomorrow, heck,.... I might just drive out tonight!!! The party pad it coming together so rad!!!! Proud of you Best Friend!
Well you’re place is turning out amazing(not surprised). Also, can I come and help, and we be friends and drink cold ones together in our swimsuits?! Because that sounds magical. Put me to work with whatever you need help with. I’m down lol.
I wish I had friends that would help me with the reno. Specially help from those that LOVE staying over for a few nights. I asked three people so far and they either laughed like I was joking around, or they avoid me and my inquiries about help, lol. :(
I’m just genuinely curious... Now that you’re located in a desert, how does your dog handle it? I would have thought it would be way too hot for any dog and the floor would be hot for their paw pads? (Seeing as there’s no cool grass to walk on and barely any shaded areas) But maybe I think too much into things, do dogs get climatized after a while? 🐶
So pretty! I hope the desert winds don't blow your new roof though. They can be brutal. I've seen everything but Dorothy fly in these winds, lol! And yes, the mountain view doesn't they old.
I always like the video before I start watching and when I finish I mousy like yup amazing as always! Can’t wait for your next update on your casa we love these vibes
A few weeks ago I had a dream that I lived out in the middle of nowhere and you were my neighbor. Lol I need to get off of youtube. Lol Love your videos, tho. Your voice has become so familiar. Lol
Look at us go! Two in one week? How fun xx.
Rachel, this space is gorgeous!
Thank you!!!
EXACTLY how I want to start my Friday’s 💪🏼 so Satisfying and Motivational! LOVE
Can’t wait to see the rest!
Yes girl!! You doin you! LOVE IT!!!!
THIS 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 SO 👏🏻 GOOD👏🏻
Honestly -bold statement- this might be one of my fave makeovers you’ve done. Love the style and colors you chose😍❤️
Wow thank you! I'm excited to show you guys who I am design wise finally.

Slowly but surely!
This post was in perfect timing to my needing to get away and chill under some shade and watch my fav youtuber. thanks!
The reflections off the bar were beautiful, enjoy 😊
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE AFTER OF THE OUTDOOR BAR.
Paint is the BEST kick off to a transformation. I’m in loooove with this space!

We've had such nutty winds and it's solid but love that its budget friendly and easy to replace.
That looks so good! 👌

Yaaas.
You're just every women's girlcrush 💚💚💚
I clicked so fast 💨 and Cali supervising ❤️❤️❤️
She's the best.
Oh, yes! That makes all the difference in the world! What are your plans for the inside of the outdoor bar?
You'll have to wait and see xx.
I'll be here!
👍🏻👍🏻 💖💖💖💖💖 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m so shook at how far you’ve gotten. I mean you came from DIYing table coasters to now demoing a building 😲😲😲👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Michelle!
Dang! this is what we call an transformation! colour just changes everything!
Isn't it nuts?
WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR YOUR EVERY EPISODE!!!!!!❤❤❤
🥰🦋
Girl, I hope you're using SPF because that sun looks brutal
Yes haha I got the worst sunburn and learned my lesson.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz sorry to hear that!
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz do you put any on Cali? Im looking for a brand for my dog
Be safe in the sun, it looks really hot
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz I'm so sorry to hear about your sunburn! Hope you have aloe gel....I'm concerned about Cali's paws on that hot rock, do you think she's having problems? LOVE what you've done with the bar.
Not me planning an outdoor bar build for the house I don’t even have yet because I NEED 😂💚
Haha
Trimming underneath that bamboo to straighten them was such a perfect touch. Makes that privacy fence looks SO MUCH better. Good call.
Thank you!
You're so fit, and I needed to hear you say you're tired doing all this. Thank you for keeping it real! Glad you're able to soak up all the gorgeousness each sunset. Enjoy!!
Loving you!

Rachel: Should I paint or should I work on my tan?
Also Rachel: Por que no los dos?!
Can we talk about the girl empowerment and can we talk about the color choice.....I'm in love
You DIYing in a bikini makes me love you even more 😂
Amazing 🤩 I love the colours of paint you use. the contrast it makes with the floor is fabulous 👏🤩
This transformation has to be one of my favourites! The colours and the overhang with the bamboo fence look great together!
I always get excited for these new Joshua Tree episodes; keep up the good work!

I'm watching you work and I'm admiring the view too and I was wondering if I could bring you, Mike, and IJessup and Ms Wood Brain barbecue if you would let me hang out....
2 videos in a week! So hectic!
I wasn't sure how that color was going to look, but somehow it really does make the structure blend into the background?? 🤯 It looks so stunning & I can't wait to see more!! 👏👏😍
I absolutely loooooove this! The colors are so refreshed while remaining very natural! Can't wait to see it all done!!!
Thanks for watching!
Like the art intro. Very creative.
Thank you!
Wow! That looks great! I'm so glad you now have a place of your own to call home. I've been following your journey and hoping you were entering better days. Breakups are hard, but you are a survivor. I'm so glad you have found your happy place.
Oh my gosh girl congrats I love it you are such a bad a girl. I am so excited to be part of your New chapter
I'm excited to have you guys here with me.
I never thought I'd ever EVER want to live in a dessert, but you may have changed my mind (not that I will anytime soon, but that door is not just a little bit ajar and not completely closed haha)
this looks like a completely different structure 😱
plz watch out for skin cancer, i hope you're showering in sunblock everyday 😥
This is gorgeous! Can you plz link to the special string lights you installed?
I actually got them at Home Depot a year ago and I tried to look up the link and could not find them online but I will if I do find the link.
These videos are so good, love your style!
Also, thank you for including time stamps, it doesn't go unnoticed and is appreciated!
Thank you Anna!

hahahah what a queen painting in the desert with a red bikini
So many awkward tan lines.
Damn gorl, we are gonna have to rename you setzy metzy! Serving bawdy out there 🙌🙌🙌
I can totally picture the Tulum vibes, I wonder if you could sustain palm trees around the bar? Maybe if the grey water (washing machine water etc) was set up on sprinklers?
You shall wait and see what's up my sleeve landscaping.
That looks SO GOOD!!! I was sad you were ripping the roof off at first, then I saw that bamboo sheeting and was like yus yus yesssssss! Nailed it, girl.
Thank you for watching!
Rachel. Your channel is like Britney circa 2007: GIMME MORE
Haha
Oh my gosh this came out so beautiful! Also, I love how you're just out there working in your bikini, I do the same thing 🤣 it's just way too hot here in the desert!🤣🤣
Thank you!

This is probably my favorite makeover in a long time on your channel... you’ve been doing a lot of color, nothing wrong but I do appreciate a simple, neutral, Bahamas vibe 🍃

Amazing job Rachel! Such a brilliant idea using the privacy fencing. I was just in Tulum & the colorway + texture here gives me all the vibes!!
Shazam! Wow!!! A Cali inspired paint choice..lol 😆 look fabulous
I wish I had friends that would help me with the reno. Specially help from those that LOVE staying over for a few nights. I asked three people so far and they either laughed like I was joking around, or they avoid me and my inquiries about help, lol. :(
Oh my goodness!!! Its so beautiful! Seeing that stone on the ground appear my jaw dropped😱 such an amazing property
