Her husband is good at renovations though, he's helped her quite a few times with bigger projects :) And he's a Fantasy reader, so a dreamer too deep down ;)
@PrincessLovelyAngel Jfc lady, you sound like a lot to deal with. Being "a wife" isn't some kind of a dream. It's all just ordinary life. Good, bad, great, terrible. You haven't missed anything at 37. It isn't your age, it's just you lamenting like this and being weird.
Visiting Rachel’s house is going to be like traveling around the world. A Parisian bathroom? The half-timbered Tudor-ish office? Yes, please. I can’t wait to see what the next space will be!
one of my design professors in college would say "i'd hang that in my bathroom" to pieces that he thought were interesting but not necessarily the best. he said "it's a place you see a lot and spend a bit of time in but you won't *always* be looking at it." if he didn't like a piece, he said he'd hang it in his guest room. 😅
Oh my God, FINALLY PAINTING TAPE! the anxiety it gives me to see Rachel paint without taping off everything first... 😱 I'm so impressed she doesn't make a complete mess at the edges all the time as I would. She truly is AN ARTISTE.
Same. I legit said the same thing out loud. I get so stressed when she doesn’t use painters tape because I make a massive mess when I don’t. My hands are shaky af.
I work in a decorators wharehouse and only retail customers and about 1/5 proper painters atchly use tape it is realy easy to cut in free hand and get crisp lines and never by a role of tape
@@ronistitch6510 ya when i worked on a professional paint crew we never used painter's tape lol but to be fair, they were skilled enough to not need it.
@@yippee8570 Internally screaming: when you are maddened but don't want to be rude. Externally screaming: when you are so maddened all hopes of remaining polite go out the window before you do
If you still have bubbles under the peel and stick, take a sewing pin/needle (I know you have one stuck in your sock at this very moment, haha) and just make a tiny hole for the air to escape, then press the tile down; works like a charm!
Also, if possible, make the hole at the bottom of the bubble, not the middle, depending on the print that can help (if you make it at the bottom of the tile)
I love seeing the home renovations you've done with the fake wood planks in your office, the forrest mural in your bedroom, and now the French bathroom. It just seems really whimsical and breaks the mold of boring white walls like I'm used to from my mom's decoration style
Before she sadly passed away, my mother in law decorated her whole entire house like this. It was amazing, and there's lot one rule... It's never too much as long as you love it. A rule i will try to live by in her honour.
1) Nick's shenanigans around recording had me giggling because my husband would probably pull the same thing. 2) I am in awe of your ability to mostly paint w/o the painters tape.
I've been to Paris a lot for work and let me say: this looks exactly like the bathrooms in those cosy Parisian café's. So I would say: you absolutely nailed it! Love it! ^_^
was going to say the same thing. Parisian bathrooms - the public ones, ones in restaurants etc., at least, are TINY. and usually buried beneath street level. Going to the loo in Paris was an adventure :D
Rachel: Why am I this color?? I look like a Victorian ghost! Me, thinking she looked very Snow White: oh yeah that too. That was seriously fun though, Nick teasing her about the camera recording was funny. It's a really pretty bathroom! Like heck yeah, themed rooms! I don't know why but I really enjoy the home renovation videos. I must've watched the forest mural painting video in the old house at least five times.
My grandmother (who used to be a literal farmer) would always purposely mispronounce ‘oui oui Bonjour monsieur’ as ‘wee wee barn door manure’ and your pun at the beginning gave me a heavy dose of nostalgia and serotonin
As a Parisian, I must say, I'm impressed!! I maybe wouldn't have gone for brown, but you made it work! Love the baguette paint though, looks crispy! Salutations transatlantiques!!
As a Frenchie, I usually disapprove of so-called French makeovers, they usually are not good, but this one? It's quite accurate, appart from the frames, I've been in bathrooms similarly decorated
Honestly Rachel, these vids clearly make you so happy by the end and they're so much fun to watch, please just use your channel as an excuse to renovate your whole house and take us along for the ride.
i always love when people casually use phrases jenna always used. it just feels like her legacy is being preserved (like at 21:00 with the 'too much gene')
Given Latrec's sense of humor I think he'd appreciate where you've put the print. You've definitely inspired me to rethink the appearance of my bathroom.
The brown instead of cream was a great choice, looks really good. Also I can't believe you did this in 4 days. I've been decorating my bedroom since January.
I cannot believe how gorgeous that turned out. I won’t lie, when you started describing it my first thought was that it sounded both busy and chaotic (in a not-great way), but I bow down to your superior decorating sense because holy cow that’s fantastic. Also I will admit to my own selfishness. When you first moved I remember thinking RACHEL WILL BE DOING HOME RENOVATION and not only was I right, it was good.
this was very cute and as a French person, I'd say you nailed it (the tiles reminding me of the metro haha). We want to see more ❤️ (especially la kitchen !!!!) Bisous 😘
RACHEL definitely buy the pumpkin at 15:53! When fall comes around they all get bought up quick. Grab the thrift store's spooky décor now and save it for later.
"The Oui Oui Room" I might have laughed a bit too much :p Here in France we have some North American renovation TV shows on TV, and I must admit that because of them, I was convinced that the toilets were always in the same room as the shower/bathtub, nice to see that it was all just a myth (I never understood the "we have 4 bedrooms so we need precisely 4 bathrooms with shower/bathtub AND toilets in it" thingy ^^ ) Really like the bathroom, it looks like it could come from a french period drama (or from Disneyland Paris :p )^^
We definitely have bathrooms that are just a toilet and sink with no bathtub or shower. It's sometimes called a half-bathroom, but usually only when a house is listed for sale. The house listing would say something like 2 1/2 bathrooms, so two bathrooms have showers and/or bathtubs and the half bathroom does not. But most of the time we just call them all bathroom whether there's a bath or not.
Here (Finland) it's the most usual to have toilet and the shower in the same room, especially in apartment complexes! Often you also have an adjacent sauna room xD I don't have one, unfortunately, but our complex has a public one you can reserve your own hour for once a week, for 7€/month :'D
Well the shows are right in that a bathroom in the US without a shower/tub is not considered a whole bathroom. A bathroom with a sink and toilet is called a half bath. I would assume however that people, if they had the money, could change it to fit their culture. I have seen places in the US with the toilet in a different room than the sink or shower/tub because some cultures consider washing hands/body in the same room as the toilet as disgusting. That's exceedingly uncommon for a few reasons, resell value and reno costs etc. It's more common than that to have the shower and toilet in the same room and the sink in a different room. (Master baths)
”G'buh” at the end to His Majesty is such a mood. I do that to my cats all the time. Also can I just say that I love your channel so much, because it fills the same kind of vibe that the internet is missing without Jenna. Chaotic creativity channels are the actual best thing, mostly because it's usually 30-somethings playing dress up and making stuff because they CAN. As a 30-something that is also a fan of whimsy, I feel absolutely at home on this channel. Thank you for being awesome!
i mean this in the most positive way possible - whenever i come home from work and watch your newest video, i always fall asleep. your videos are so relaxing.
At last someone says my chaos aesthetic… Cluttercore. Thank you. Also I really appreciate your vlog project as accountability perspective. It’s honestly inspiring. The bathroom looks fantastic! You really transformed it from contractor grade basics to a sumptuous, warm, and romantic creation.
Regarding the peel and stick tile wall: It’s the little quirks that give it character. This is what my Mum said to my Dad many years ago when he was painting a pearlescent blue bedroom wall for me :)
Rachel, Your Parisian Potty is adorable. I would love to be in there .Your guest's will adore being transported! I think I speak for many of your fan's when I say, pleeeeease keep your home improvements in the video repertoire. As always thank you for being you! I don't take the joy you give me for granted!! I appreciate you very much and all the time and effort you put into your video's. With love and happiness, Audri
Literally sitting on my half-made bed at 5:30 PM after "starting" at rearranging my room N this gave me the needed ✨inspiration✨ to go on {we must continue!!} so thank you ♡ Hopefully this gets *done* and I don't stop randomly again three minutes after picking two things up
I find joy in thinking she just brings supplies home one day and is like "Babbbeee I wanna do a thing" and then chaotically finishes her project with her hubby rushing behind to help lol. Looks great Rachel ♥️
I confess I thought tile + wallpaper + wainscoting + paint would be WAY too much for a small bathroom, but I think it looks great! It makes it feel like it's old (in a good way) and been added onto over the centuries. Nicely done!
I laughed pretty hard at “The Oui Oui Room”… so, it’s safe to say I will be randomly laughing about it to myself for the next week. And also I’ve spent 10 minutes trying to think of a French pun in response until I realized I took French classes 20 years ago and since it’s 7 pm, I’m tired. Millennial Life.
As soon as you showed all those lights in that tiny space, I KNEW that it was going to be an issue. I love all the fixtures, but I would definitely be finding the lowest wattage possible for the bulbs. Maybe a little gas lamp flicker would be extra, or maybe it would be PERFECT.
I’m also a Taurus who likes whimsy and gets overwhelmed easily 😍 the bathroom looks amazing. We’re renting but I hope we’ll be able to get some inspiration from you to decorate our new home!
Currently doing some renovations on an outbuilding on my farm and your home reno vids have been flooding my recommended! They're so relatable. It's nice to feel less alone in this huge (and often boring) undertaking. Thanks, Rachel!
ooo this is my dream bathroom(laughing hysterically without making bathroom puns with writing this) its so nice to see the renovation series!! I love this!!! it seems simple, but its so nice!
I swear you are my child! I loveeeee your decorating style! You do all the stuff I have done in the past. I am always taking a paint brush to "enhance" frames, etc. My brain never stops thinking how I can make an area look better. I also have a "Victorian" garden in my back yard that took my 20 years to complete. Trumpet vine, wisteria, clematis every where. Roses, fountains... adirondack chairs....shed with purple trim and lace curtains. Please keep making videos! I totally enjoy your style...and your charming personality....swear words included! 🤣
Every time I see Rachel’s face on my feed, my day gets immeasurably better:) I know I’m just one of many viewers and I don’t actually know this funny, creative, quirky person… but it FEELS like she is that dandelion-floof of a friend who brings joy and delight wherever she happens to drift:) Thank you, dearest Rachel, for the (sweet illusion of a) treasured friendship :)
Ok 1. The Jimenez shirt made me go AAAAAH, 2. How many pumpkins did you buy be honest, 3. I freaking love how this turned out!! When we eventually can buy a house, I'm going to watch all your remodel vids again for inspo. So good.
About three days before you posted this, I bought the exact same trash can and toilet bowl brush from Target. I'm an interior designer if that helps you feel better about your choices! Love how you did the bathroom on a budget. Very tasteful!
As a peel and stick tile veteran (I did our kitchen back splash all by myself on a whim) it's really important to clean the wall throughly beforehand and use a dry sponge to smooth the tiles as you go. I also used some superglue on some of my edges because they weren't sticking well enough and it worked like a charm. Love the bathroom! It makes me want to do home renovations I've been putting off lol
it looks awesome, I myself would love to get just one renovation project done in my house but here I am 2 years in and still working on my bedroom. but too be fair the floor has had so many layers to get down to the frikkin wood underneath. (carpet, dingy pepto pink paint, some sort of clear varnish, a beige hellspawn paint, and then finally down to the stain thats on the original wood) I've used chemicals to take off as much I could while scraping it, then used a big sander that looks like a buffer (didn't even touch the beige demon), and now I've found a paint stripper tool attachment for the hand drill and am hand stripping it. wish me luck yall.
Oh wow, Rachel, love to see your creativity in action! And looks like other folks feel the same--you are closing in on one million subscribers! Yay for you, dear! 🌿💐🌿😊💚😘🌿💐🌿
I absolutely love how your channel is so many things at once. You're DIY and Interior design videos are just as much fun as your makeup, clothing and other period styling videos!!!
Getting a ton of inspiration for my house. I just moved in and its all a blank canvas, and I absolutely love your taste and ideas!!! Your videos are my favorite thing to do during saturday mornings ❤
hi just wanted to let you know that i look forward to your videos every week and they bring me so much comfort. as a newly adulted gen z you bring me hope for my scary journey into adulthood. it’s hard to explain but i don’t really have any role models who are your age, and you’ve shown me that while life is still hard and you never really figure things out even in your 20s, you can make pretty things out of it. this doesn’t make much sense but i love you and you bring me sm comfort
For the framed art, a nice easy trick to making stuff like that seem older is to doa light wash with tea (also great for lamp shades and anything else that will stain lol)
I like the idea that you want people transported. I sometimes think about that for certain rooms too. Having a specific and distinct sort of atmosphere and transformation of space.
I've actually been on a youtube home makeover kick so the fact that this is the theme for your video this week is SO GOOD FOR ME. I love the way the bathroom turned out!!! I actually was so mad at my dad for painting my bathroom brown at his house growing up... but you made brown work! Great job to Nick**** and Rachel on this one!!! We love a supportive hubby
Might I recommend a stud finder before you start cutting into walls? Not just for it's stated purpose, but it also tells you if there's electrical wiring behind the wall you're about to stick a saw into lol. I love these videos btw.. I find them motivating.. (I say as I sit in what we call the Marlboro room because the walls are painted blood red and I have hated them since we moved into this house last June but I have yet to do anything about because cathedral ceiling height walls with only a 6 ft ladder to work with lol)
Oof! I love red, but yeesh. Might be worth the price of a new ladder. The little giants are great because they still fold up into about the same space as your 6ft ladder does in storage.
Oooooo the blood red walls would be right up my alley!! Of course I’m the same person that painted blood red 12”x12” squares on one wall of a house I rented while in college & painted my living room orange in another house I rented bc I hate white walls!!! Now that I’m old and tired, & gotten lazy, the walls in my current place are white…and I haaaate them!!
Love this! Believe me, no French person's ever had a bathroom looking this good! (Mine has a bus-stop sized poster of X-men Dark Pheonix... my boyfriend took it from a broken display, but got so mad at that movie that he put it in there as a joke... it's been 3 years and it hasn't moved 😅)
Looks Great!! 😁👍 Cozy and love the "white tile/ wall paper/ brown lower wood wall and the brown walls". All the Gold and molding and the lights, ect.....looks Beautiful! 👍😁
Both the papered wall and the tiled wall would be such cute backgrounds for selfies or photoshoots! Rachel, your interior design instincts are so strong
I loved watching this and it's made me realise I need to do my renos I planned over a year ago. Got a plan to turn my bathroom into a forest oasis type thing. Got my 3 green paints and a lighter bluish colour for the ceiling. I was going to sponge on my greens, but I've hesitated cuz I don't want to have a blobby smushy look. But watching this it occurred to me if I cut sponges into tree shapes, I can get more of a forest feel. I now can't wait to remove the wall that is blocking the window and heat vent in a small hallway behind it. That way my bathroom will finally have a closet in it. Yay storage. Well until I can afford an apartment stackable washer/dryer to go in that space so no more having to go into the basement to do laundry. Thank you for the inspiration. Hugs from one Rachel to another 😊.
When on vacation in 2018 a cafe/museum bathroom that I was in had every inch of wall space covered in pictures and art in frames. It looked effing amazing!!! MOAR pictures Rachel!! 😍
Favourite part of my Saturday (cos I'm in NZ) is your videos. Paris is my dream theme but my creativity lies in writing and regency sewing (hopefully) . Loving all your home renos!
Honestly the precision of these renos is just all of my goals. I came up with a theme for all the rooms in our apartment and it's not even close to looking this good.
My bathroom is sort of rustic old French farmhouse style with a gothic(?) touch. I have pink walls, weathered corrugated tin ceiling, clawfoot bathtub (with a “rock on🤘🏻” skeleton shower curtain), a basin sink on top of an old singer sewing machine base, and a built in shelving and mini-closet thing. It’s a small space but it was so fun to build and decorate much like yours!
I loved this video so much. The bathroom turned out so cute. For what my comment is worth, please continue to do these diy home renovation videos. They're great!
OMG my italian grandfather sent a postcard to my grandmother that looked exactly like the postcard you framed. I have it framed in our living room! 🙀😂 edit: thank you for your videos, love your vibe and style 💗
The moment I noticed the Jimenez dagger on your shirt I swear to god Rachel I made such excited noises. I just want you to dress up as OFMD characters ASAP. Impeccable video as always btw!
can't believe I'm saying this but the browns and greens makes total sense for Taurus. My house painting job often gave me bathroom duty. I've hugged a lot of stranger's toilets in my day. 9__9 The "purply" brown looks good in the warm light. The end result is so cozy I love it!
Oh man, this gets me so excited for when I buy my first home. All the remodeling, painting and decorating! Until then, I will stick to crafts and sewing projects.
Hooray for home renovation projects 🙌 🎉 beautiful transformation! Word of advice for those peel and stick tiles in the camper, use 3M spray adhesive to help stick tiles permanently. The variation in outdoor temperatures can cause the tiles to fall off without a little additional stickem.
Hi all!!! Captions should be up by later tonight! K LOVE YOU BYE
Do you write them out yourself, because they make me SUPER happy! I love when they cc actually says all the things you do 😂
LOVE YOU TOO AHAHHAHA

Thank you! The captions make a huge difference to those of us with audio processing problems : )

i love seeing Nick and Rachel together, chaotic fairy wife and 'just a guy' husband is my favorite dynamic
You put into words what I have always thought about them lol
Her husband is good at renovations though, he's helped her quite a few times with bigger projects :) And he's a Fantasy reader, so a dreamer too deep down ;)

I love this 😍 so good ❣️
AND the Parisian circus office!

And it’s like travelling through time!! Super cool
one of my design professors in college would say "i'd hang that in my bathroom" to pieces that he thought were interesting but not necessarily the best. he said "it's a place you see a lot and spend a bit of time in but you won't *always* be looking at it." if he didn't like a piece, he said he'd hang it in his guest room. 😅
That’s actually a very kind way to critique. I like that.
This is fantastic and SAVAGE, I'm using that line more often when I need to critique art without sounding like a jerk haha
What room would he hang pieces he liked in?
Bathrooms and kitchens are also notorious for damaging artwork (due to humidity and temperature changes), so you shouldn't put your favorites there
You need to design a sign saying 'The Oui Oui Room' for the door, that was genius 😆

Agree, totally stealing it for my powder room. It’ll make me smile as it makes my family cringe at my humor 😌
Lol! I would make my bathroom french inspired just to name it the Oui Oui Room!
Goes well with the old joke that in the living room you’re American but in the bathroom European (you’re a peeing’)!

Same!
Rachel,
Your Parisian Potty is adorable. I would love to be in there .Your guest's will adore being transported! I think I speak for many of your fan's when I say, pleeeeease keep your home improvements in the video repertoire. As always thank you for being you! I don't take the joy you give me for granted!! I appreciate you very much and all the time and effort you put into your video's.
With love and happiness,
Audri
I am unreasonably happy about the alliteration of Parisian Potty
It is so inspiring how you take control of your space through decoration ❤
Literally sitting on my half-made bed at 5:30 PM after "starting" at rearranging my room
N this gave me the needed ✨inspiration✨ to go on {we must continue!!} so thank you ♡
Hopefully this gets *done* and I don't stop randomly again three minutes after picking two things up
Can we take a moment to appreciate your brush control? I would have been taping EVERYTHING!
I literally was going to post about sending her some painter's tape before she actually used some.
Rachel is peak comedy, never fails to make make me laugh
Yes!! And I love that she has embraced very much Jenna marbles energy. We need that.
I find joy in thinking she just brings supplies home one day and is like "Babbbeee I wanna do a thing" and then chaotically finishes her project with her hubby rushing behind to help lol. Looks great Rachel ♥️
I confess I thought tile + wallpaper + wainscoting + paint would be WAY too much for a small bathroom, but I think it looks great! It makes it feel like it's old (in a good way) and been added onto over the centuries. Nicely done!
I laughed pretty hard at “The Oui Oui Room”… so, it’s safe to say I will be randomly laughing about it to myself for the next week. And also I’ve spent 10 minutes trying to think of a French pun in response until I realized I took French classes 20 years ago and since it’s 7 pm, I’m tired. Millennial Life.
I relate so hard to that last sentence 😆
@@raraavis7782 you're not alone, there... 😅
@@raraavis7782 I’m genuinely relieved someone did!
You are a full mood!
As soon as you showed all those lights in that tiny space, I KNEW that it was going to be an issue. I love all the fixtures, but I would definitely be finding the lowest wattage possible for the bulbs. Maybe a little gas lamp flicker would be extra, or maybe it would be PERFECT.
Oh absolutely, I was trying to figure out what I didn't think was great about the lights! They're so cute, but definitely a little bright
I’m also a Taurus who likes whimsy and gets overwhelmed easily 😍 the bathroom looks amazing. We’re renting but I hope we’ll be able to get some inspiration from you to decorate our new home!
Currently doing some renovations on an outbuilding on my farm and your home reno vids have been flooding my recommended! They're so relatable. It's nice to feel less alone in this huge (and often boring) undertaking. Thanks, Rachel!
ooo this is my dream bathroom(laughing hysterically without making bathroom puns with writing this) its so nice to see the renovation series!! I love this!!! it seems simple, but its so nice!
I was chanting in my head: “Do not make a ‘Metropoolitain’ joke” so I am with you.
And of course, "focal point" brought 'fecal point' to mind ! Lol !
Rachel: I want my guests to be...transported
My brain: so it's a...Porta-potty. 🥁
Thats genius.
I swear you are my child! I loveeeee your decorating style! You do all the stuff I have done in the past. I am always taking a paint brush to "enhance" frames, etc. My brain never stops thinking how I can make an area look better. I also have a "Victorian" garden in my back yard that took my 20 years to complete. Trumpet vine, wisteria, clematis every where. Roses, fountains... adirondack chairs....shed with purple trim and lace curtains. Please keep making videos! I totally enjoy your style...and your charming personality....swear words included! 🤣
Every time I see Rachel’s face on my feed, my day gets immeasurably better:) I know I’m just one of many viewers and I don’t actually know this funny, creative, quirky person… but it FEELS like she is that dandelion-floof of a friend who brings joy and delight wherever she happens to drift:) Thank you, dearest Rachel, for the (sweet illusion of a) treasured friendship :)
Watching Rachel's videos is like a marvel movie you have to stay after the good end to see the the whole thing. 😊
The post credits always bring it all together
Ok 1. The Jimenez shirt made me go AAAAAH, 2. How many pumpkins did you buy be honest, 3. I freaking love how this turned out!! When we eventually can buy a house, I'm going to watch all your remodel vids again for inspo. So good.
I'm french and i can say you and Nicholas have perfectly recreate the atmosphere of the french "bistrot" touch. Best regards from, l'île de Ré.
I love your bathroom renovation!! I love antiques and the artwork you chose is fantastic!! Magnifique!!!
About three days before you posted this, I bought the exact same trash can and toilet bowl brush from Target. I'm an interior designer if that helps you feel better about your choices! Love how you did the bathroom on a budget. Very tasteful!
As a peel and stick tile veteran (I did our kitchen back splash all by myself on a whim) it's really important to clean the wall throughly beforehand and use a dry sponge to smooth the tiles as you go. I also used some superglue on some of my edges because they weren't sticking well enough and it worked like a charm. Love the bathroom! It makes me want to do home renovations I've been putting off lol
it looks awesome, I myself would love to get just one renovation project done in my house but here I am 2 years in and still working on my bedroom. but too be fair the floor has had so many layers to get down to the frikkin wood underneath. (carpet, dingy pepto pink paint, some sort of clear varnish, a beige hellspawn paint, and then finally down to the stain thats on the original wood) I've used chemicals to take off as much I could while scraping it, then used a big sander that looks like a buffer (didn't even touch the beige demon), and now I've found a paint stripper tool attachment for the hand drill and am hand stripping it. wish me luck yall.
By far one of my favorite before and after home improvements you've done. Saving this four inspo for our house.
Rachel's vintage Indiana Jones T-shirt - excellent! Rachel's retro-style round golden-framed glasses - perfect! Rachel's dark-brown curly pony-tail & pony-fringe hairstyle - adorable!
"Le dog" - so cute!
I’ve been agonizing over what to do with my tiny ass bathroom. It feels like a prison toilet. I’m totally stealing this. Thank you so much!
That looks absolutely gorgeous! You and your husband did an excellent job.
absolutely agree! I go antiquing and it is so nice when I see younger people decorating with these treasures as well as creating a unique home!!❤️
Oh wow, Rachel, love to see your creativity in action! And looks like other folks feel the same--you are closing in on one million subscribers! Yay for you, dear!
🌿💐🌿😊💚😘🌿💐🌿
Rachel is officially the queen of makeovers 🥰
You should also check out Christine McConnell's channel!
I absolutely love how your channel is so many things at once. You're DIY and Interior design videos are just as much fun as your makeup, clothing and other period styling videos!!!
Yes! I agree!!!
Getting a ton of inspiration for my house. I just moved in and its all a blank canvas, and I absolutely love your taste and ideas!!! Your videos are my favorite thing to do during saturday mornings ❤
You have so much energy! Please send me some of it 🙏🏻. I love watching you transform your home into something beautiful and unique!
hi just wanted to let you know that i look forward to your videos every week and they bring me so much comfort. as a newly adulted gen z you bring me hope for my scary journey into adulthood. it’s hard to explain but i don’t really have any role models who are your age, and you’ve shown me that while life is still hard and you never really figure things out even in your 20s, you can make pretty things out of it. this doesn’t make much sense but i love you and you bring me sm comfort
This makes a lot of sense, especially retrospectively as someone at the tail end of their 20s. You will be more than ok :)
For the framed art, a nice easy trick to making stuff like that seem older is to doa light wash with tea (also great for lamp shades and anything else that will stain lol)
Fantastic! Shelves are usually good. "Clutter core" is universal!
I like the idea that you want people transported. I sometimes think about that for certain rooms too. Having a specific and distinct sort of atmosphere and transformation of space.
It's always awesome to see Rachel wearing the clothing she's made in previous videos. I saw the green 40's pinafore and gasped.
That and the green check shirt = PERFECTION 🥰
I've actually been on a youtube home makeover kick so the fact that this is the theme for your video this week is SO GOOD FOR ME. I love the way the bathroom turned out!!! I actually was so mad at my dad for painting my bathroom brown at his house growing up... but you made brown work! Great job to Nick**** and Rachel on this one!!! We love a supportive hubby
There’s a Scottish guy that bought an abandoned tiny cottage thing and did an awesome renovation of it.
Laughed hysterically at the oui oui room no lie! Classic Rachel indeed! Thank you for the video!
Love the color of the bathroom cabinet
Might I recommend a stud finder before you start cutting into walls? Not just for it's stated purpose, but it also tells you if there's electrical wiring behind the wall you're about to stick a saw into lol. I love these videos btw.. I find them motivating.. (I say as I sit in what we call the Marlboro room because the walls are painted blood red and I have hated them since we moved into this house last June but I have yet to do anything about because cathedral ceiling height walls with only a 6 ft ladder to work with lol)
Oof! I love red, but yeesh. Might be worth the price of a new ladder. The little giants are great because they still fold up into about the same space as your 6ft ladder does in storage.
Marlboro room sounds cool lol I would just decorate it with marlboro vintage signs and items and then confuse people by telling them I don’t smoke lol
@@adedow1333 oohhh I never heard of those! I'll have to look them up, thanks! That could be the answer to all my problems lol
@@usagiprincess4387 😂😂😂
Oooooo the blood red walls would be right up my alley!! Of course I’m the same person that painted blood red 12”x12” squares on one wall of a house I rented while in college & painted my living room orange in another house I rented bc I hate white walls!!! Now that I’m old and tired, & gotten lazy, the walls in my current place are white…and I haaaate them!!
Love this! Believe me, no French person's ever had a bathroom looking this good!
(Mine has a bus-stop sized poster of X-men Dark Pheonix... my boyfriend took it from a broken display, but got so mad at that movie that he put it in there as a joke... it's been 3 years and it hasn't moved 😅)
That brown paint in the wallpaper and just beautiful together.100%
Looks Great!! 😁👍 Cozy and love the "white tile/ wall paper/ brown lower wood wall and the brown walls". All the Gold and molding and the lights, ect.....looks Beautiful! 👍😁
Both the papered wall and the tiled wall would be such cute backgrounds for selfies or photoshoots! Rachel, your interior design instincts are so strong
I loved watching this and it's made me realise I need to do my renos I planned over a year ago. Got a plan to turn my bathroom into a forest oasis type thing. Got my 3 green paints and a lighter bluish colour for the ceiling. I was going to sponge on my greens, but I've hesitated cuz I don't want to have a blobby smushy look. But watching this it occurred to me if I cut sponges into tree shapes, I can get more of a forest feel. I now can't wait to remove the wall that is blocking the window and heat vent in a small hallway behind it. That way my bathroom will finally have a closet in it. Yay storage. Well until I can afford an apartment stackable washer/dryer to go in that space so no more having to go into the basement to do laundry. Thank you for the inspiration. Hugs from one Rachel to another 😊.
Cute Oui Oui makeover! I'm waiting until my puppy stops eating the walls to renovate anything. It's fun watching other people do it.
When on vacation in 2018 a cafe/museum bathroom that I was in had every inch of wall space covered in pictures and art in frames. It looked effing amazing!!! MOAR pictures Rachel!! 😍
Where was this? I love bathrooms.
Favourite part of my Saturday (cos I'm in NZ) is your videos. Paris is my dream theme but my creativity lies in writing and regency sewing (hopefully) . Loving all your home renos!
Me too, Good morning from another Kiwi🥝🌼🌸
Honestly the precision of these renos is just all of my goals. I came up with a theme for all the rooms in our apartment and it's not even close to looking this good.
My bathroom is sort of rustic old French farmhouse style with a gothic(?) touch. I have pink walls, weathered corrugated tin ceiling, clawfoot bathtub (with a “rock on🤘🏻” skeleton shower curtain), a basin sink on top of an old singer sewing machine base, and a built in shelving and mini-closet thing. It’s a small space but it was so fun to build and decorate much like yours!
I loved this video so much. The bathroom turned out so cute. For what my comment is worth, please continue to do these diy home renovation videos. They're great!
I swear you have midas touch- everything you make turns to gold! Your videos are my fav part of my week
Looks very nice. I do like subway tiles in general. They go well with antique and vintage style
I love that the color „baguette“ also looks a bit like the color of pee and the cabinet is painted poop brown 😌*perfection*👌🏻
Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that!
OMG my italian grandfather sent a postcard to my grandmother that looked exactly like the postcard you framed. I have it framed in our living room! 🙀😂
edit: thank you for your videos, love your vibe and style 💗
Beautiful! I agree, the darker paint really made a great difference!
I love watching people do DIY home stuff. It reminds me of my parents 🥰
Beautiful bathroom, entertaining commentary, and two fun people doing everything? Nailed it! ❤
The moment I noticed the Jimenez dagger on your shirt I swear to god Rachel I made such excited noises. I just want you to dress up as OFMD characters ASAP. Impeccable video as always btw!
can't believe I'm saying this but the browns and greens makes total sense for Taurus.
My house painting job often gave me bathroom duty. I've hugged a lot of stranger's toilets in my day. 9__9 The "purply" brown looks good in the warm light.
The end result is so cozy I love it!
Oh man, this gets me so excited for when I buy my first home. All the remodeling, painting and decorating! Until then, I will stick to crafts and sewing projects.
Hooray for home renovation projects 🙌 🎉 beautiful transformation! Word of advice for those peel and stick tiles in the camper, use 3M spray adhesive to help stick tiles permanently. The variation in outdoor temperatures can cause the tiles to fall off without a little additional stickem.
"It's fine. It's RUSTIC!" THAT is genius. And so true!! Thank you so much Rachel. You're always inspiring me with your magic and wisdom. ✨ ❤️
