DIY Renter Friendly Closet Makeover for My Assistant!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Instead of not putting out content and staying stuck in stagnation between trailer renovation projects not working out like I did last year; I decided to work on turning Ali’s rented house into a rented home. She has talked about how she has always wanted to redesign and decorate her space so why not help? It’s nice to notice how I got so depressed and stressed not being able to create during periods of downtime on my own property last year and try my best to not get in the same pattern this time around. I hope you take away at least one thing from this DIY Small Closet Makeover and enjoy today’s episode xx.
I’ve linked some episodes for you down below that I’ve done in the past as well as materials and outfits if you’re interested!

Hi I’m Rachel Metz! I am DIY’er and carpenter based in Joshua Tree, CA with my two dogs in tow. I am passionate about turning a house into a home with any build, design or DIY. Throughout my socials and UA-cam, you can find DIY projects for all levels of builders ranging from makeover content, room refreshes, outdoor projects, home improvement and renovation tips, tricks and more. My goal is to empower anyone that is looking to DIY that they are more than capable to make their house, their home and that they can too in fact pick up the power tools and do it themselves. I hope you enjoy your time here! Head over to my channel for more xx.
I linked all materials, outfits and accessories that I could in the description! Just open her on up baby! In this episode, we’re stepping away from my trailer before I fist fight it and lose my damn mind and instead …we’re going to DIY at Ali’s place to start to help her turn her rented condo into her renter friendly home.
Where is the light from? ty!
@@threewaystreet yes, also needing the strip light link!
Any luck with the strip light link?
You look so happy and at peace, Rachel!!! You are a survivor! I’ve seen you go through some rough and shitty times… you realized it… you owned it… you shared it… and you conquered! You have grown so much (spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and you kick ass) You have a beautiful strong soul! All of your friends are blessed to have you and you are blessed to have them! Never forget the lil things bc they r most important. Ik you won’t… keep doing what you do and keep being unapologetically yourself! Xo
Awe thank you so much Jen Davis!
Can I be honest? You inspire me so much. Even just listening to you makes me feel motivated, the change you have made as a creator and as a person is beautiful. I think I have this silent dream of being just as motivated, compassionate, genuine and creative as you. After this video, I kinda just sat down and thought “I want to learn more”. Sometimes I wonder if you’ve ever considered writing a book about anything (be it yourself, DIY and the things you’ve learned in throughout your life path and the adversities you’ve faced) you’re so inspiring and I hope you never forget that. Listening to you talk is like listening to a long time friend. 🖤
Our dear Rachel, I can't get enough! It's beautiful to see you giving back to your friends the love they show you... And I totally agree about using curtains instead of closet doors. They look beautiful, save space, and make the whole space so much cozier. Again, great job full of love and care!
Gosh - thank you so much.
Love this so much ... inspiration to do something different with a closet I have stuck with for ages coz I didn't want to shell out on paying a joiner to make new doors! ❤️
You got this!
Rachel, look at what you can do!!! So simple yet so beautiful and impactful. That trim detail is so unique and beautiful. The lights and the organization!! I know it was a year last year. Never forget what beauty lies within in you and all that you have to share. Rooting for you and for all that you bring to the world! 😊❤
Ah thank you Shawn!
Seriously Rachel, you're one of the most realest youtubers! LOVE your channel, your rawness, your courage to share it all- your inspire so much not just DIY but life and its shit in general. Your channel for me hits , not just with the tools and DIY but uugh life! The girl can relate!! Lots of love from Vegas ❤❤✌✌
Gosh! This made my morning. Thank you! 🥰
Nice!! So cool you know how to use tools. I think if I had a house & a garage, I'd get my dad to teach me, but im in a rental condo.... Very nice of you to do that for her as well. 🧡
You totally can start on your condo patio!
Fantastic!!🤩
Thank you!
Havent seen you in awhile Rachel. Hoping you're okay and that you will be back soon.♥️
If I was Ali, I think I’d just stare at my closet all day long !!
Awe thank you for that xx.
Just had to drop in and say Miley Cyrus' new video Flowers has strong Rachel vibes....❤️
Awe thank you xx.
That simple little bit of shiplap you added to the top of the closet made SUCH a difference. Really pulled it together ❤️
I think so too! Thank you!
wow, the different trims look SO good together! Never seen that before anywhere
I appreciate that!
Just sitting here missing you
Missing you more.
It’s crazy how impactful the closest makeover was to the entire room. Stunning.
Right? It brought a whole new vibe when you entered.
I love this. I also love the lighting. My walk in closet has one over head light but it’s not my favorite. I like the strip lighting. Feels like everything is illuminated.
I love the lighting hack! So easy and effective.
I am blown away by that closet transformation - WOW!
I have drapes similarly in one of my closets and they've bugged me, but I think the epiphany I got from this was I need to re-hang my drapes on the INSIDE of the closet! It looks so much cleaner that way, and much better than the doors.
Ah! That gets me excited xx.
Boom Shacka Lacka Rachel!!! Crazy to know that most of that stuff is not permanent & can be taken to next place. The doors were super dope. Hoping all is well Kid, Dirty Jersey out!!
How did I miss this episode 😢
It looks great ❤️ love you're ideas 💡
Because I haven't been consistent at all! But hope to get back in the good graces of the algorithm
I prefer “took some time to gain perspective” vs “ran away from my problems”- you just needed to leave for a bit in order to move forward. I think this is gonna be a good year for Rachel Metz ❤
Love this!
OH W O W!! Stunning! All of it. I love the doors!! It looks so modern, elegant and clean. I know you,ve heard it a million times over but you are brilliant!
There have been so many times you've inspired me to get up and get my "I don't want to do's" done.
Can't (but I will) wait for the next video. Much love 😊
You know, I wouldn't have thought to remove the doors - even if I didn't like them. It's always my first instinct to hide everything and put it away so there's less noise. However, you can't deny that the closet looks so must better on display, than in its previous incarnation. The closet also seems larger and kind of expands on the relaxed, cosiness of the room. Really hit the theme out of the park - the strip lights just make the "boutique feel" come to life. It does feel like you're getting a glimpse through a window into a store display. I bet Ali loved it!
I’d love more intro to tools videos. Or if you can make an overview one then link the previous videos. I recently got a bunch of tools and am slowly getting aquatinted. One thing that feels overwhelming is the diff blades for diff tasks when using a angle grinder or circular saw
I love this makeover- great job! You can use pool noodles cut to size to help the boots stand upright. I use them in all of my boots & it helps keep their shape & look good in my closet 😉
Thanks for the tip!
I’ve been following you for so long I had no idea you dated prod. We’re all probably around the same age but anyways I’m a dad now so I left that part of me behind and you helped me tremendously with my diys here at home which is crazy how time changes for the better..
I absolutely LOVE the ikea dresser you “hacked.” I’m seriously considering buying my own power tools and doing this in my room 😂❤
We miss you and you know we got you! 🤩 Positive affirmations only! 🥰
Cant you tar or rubber cover the top of the trailer like they do RV’s???? 🤔
RACHEAL METZ, WERE R U ( IN MY CHILD VOICE).....XX..OO..
Great door fronts also might suggest that type of light for ours as take my phone in to see at present. Xxx
Dang. I have two of those small IKEA units in storage... Hmmmm ideas ideas...
Yay!
Hi where are you I hope all is well miss you on UA-cam
The closet looks AMAZING!!! I'm going to redu a closet this summer, thank you for the inspiration!!! 💕
You are so welcome!
So True. I am doing shelving in my office. It is a struggle but I am not going to let the hiccups depress me. I have decided that this is a warm up and the next time will be smooth as Butta!😉
We got this xx.
Bruh. I’m going to buy both battery powered nail guns, thanks for the quick but valuable tutorial! 🤯 I thought my only option was a bulky compressor and heavy ass nail gun.
I love having these two on hand.
So cute!!!! Always gets my creative juices flowing every time I watch one of your episodes. Always look forward to and episode and I can't wait to watch your house transformation. Cheers🥂🦄💫🌸💜⚘🌹
Yay! Thank you! Can't wait to dive in.
OK, ma stop. You went to Hannah's for a recharge. You're hard on yourself. If something isn't working out you are your boss, you can take a break from it and do something else or go somewhere else. See how in doing over the closet, you came up with an 💡. Going to Hannah's you allowed yourself the freedom to be silly and enjoy a different way of living. You took time to give someone precious to you peace, love, and joy and they did for you in return. You are so lucky you get to do what you love and have much love and support.
Keep on keepin' on. Go at your pace, it's your life and your time. No judgments here love.
Loving you Denise xx.
Worried about you. Hope all is well.
I know this may sound intrusive in you creative process but about your roofing on the trailer. Did you had in mind maybe doing separate roof? I know you said that the trailer isn't going to move ever so why don't do a detached roof something like shelter over it and you also can do overhang for maybe a future porch. Thinking of it like a "umrela for a thorn apart raincoat" cause of what I have seen so far you maybe will never be able to repair it for 100%🤔. Is just an idea so please don't take this as I'm ordering you what to do cause that's not the case. Love this makeover so much. Have an a amazing day🖤
Been problem solving and think I have a solid solution. Just need for the winds to chill!
I enjoyed this diy, makes me feel like something I can actually do😊
I love that!
sooo goood!!! thanks for the closet inspo!
The doors were a beautiful addition to the Ikea cabinet. Like profoundly better. I always enjoy watching your process as you take things from ordinary to extraordinary.
Thank you so much!
Hi Hello 🙏🙏🙏thank you so muach for this vedio 👌 👌 👌 👌 i need this words 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
It's my pleasure
Your new DIY project, make yourself happy. I see a brave strong intelligent
woman.
Thank you Tex!
Have definitely already redone my own closet things this year. And it's just a simple satisfying basic need that can refresh the rest of the room in the process. Like I stumbled on a random pillow case that will tye in an art piece and I was using two closets and half my room so I actually kinda changed my whole life but I feel yay closet make overs.
Love that!
Hi Rachel. You are the reason I think I can do anything around my house. In other words you gave me the confidence to try. I loved this video especially when you stop and explain what you’re doing, ❤
That makes me so damn happy! Can't wait to make more episodes.
How am I googling how to build a wardrobe and this is exactly what was on my mind and then your vid pops up in my sub timeline. 🤯it’s like you read my mind 💜
Oh this makes me so damn happy!
Oh my gosh, the difference, especially w/o those annoying doors. Nice job!
Thanks Lara!
those doors!!!! OMG freaking beautiful.
Thank you!
I'm OBSESSED with the salt lamp hanging from a macramé planter.
I appreciate that xx.
Super cute closet and easier to get to the items inside. My question is what about us people that have too many clothes/accessories? (no brainer, right?)
I would say under bed storage, getting a bed that has that lift up under storage as well and adding a dresser as Ali did to her bedroom layout gave her more options after months of declutter to have this be more aesthetically pleasing.
Precious girl club energy
Love seeing you work your magic again ♥ May I ask what LED strip light you use?
The ones available at my local Home Depot!
You’re so good Rachel..
I need something like this for someone with a lot of more clothes. Me lol. I've utilized your tricks and tips, and then I need more room, lol or organization tips lol
That makes me so happy!
🎉getting the beauty-flow going!! The trim-door faces are rich❤
Thank you!
See l told you what a talent lady you are stay strong go girl loving it love always Freddie 😄👍😎🌹👍💪💪💪
Appreciate that Freddie xx.
Thank god for the new video! I´ve been missing your energy these last few days and rewatching old videos lol
More to come!
SO BEAUTIFUL, RACHEL!! NICE JOB LADY....
Thank you so much!!
You make everything a work of art. I never thought a closest could look so cool.
I appreciate that Kristy!
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
Thanks, will do!
You Rock, Sooo hard!!! 😘😜💕💪🏾👍🏾👏🏾
Thank you!
Could you link the LED light strips you used? This closet is absolutely GORGEOUS. Brilliant as always Rachel! 👑🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They are ones that were available to Home Depot!
Thank you Luv
First order of business in any new space is to remove closet doors. So unnecessary.
I cannot with the doors but understand some people like to close it behind and that's all personal preference.
Miss you beb😢
Absolutely Gorgeous!!!! You're a Genius!!!
Thank you Pat!
I've also removed my closet doors and opted for curtains. I love the softer look and even have my pothos plant framing the outside. I thought about adding led lighting around as well but that required much more organization than what I had steam for at the time. Seeing this project definitely inspires me to finish my closet and have a glowing masterpiece like what you achieved here! Thanks for the inspiration as always!! ❤
That’s the best trained doggo that didn’t steal your food!
He's thee best.
Great transformation and more functional!,,
I agree! Having full access to the closet makes all the difference
Cute!
Cute
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why a difference! It seems even larger.
Thank you!
🌟
You’re really talented and an inspiration.
Thank you for that! That's sweet.
This is so gorgeous and satisfying 😍😍

Thank you so much!!
It’s beautiful!
Thank you Michelle!
Amazing as usual!
You're the best!
Another wonderful video. Thank you so much Rachel!
To your comment about doing right where you can, I feel the need to share this Einstein quote:
"Try not to become a man of success. Rather, become a man of value."
I know you're not quite where you want to be with your projects, but what you're doing does matters. And this was a very lovely thing to see you do for Ali. She looked so happy. And I can say this came at a time when I needed inspiration like this to also help someone special. I love what you're doing and the story you tell doing it.
Also ❤'d the bit about the power tools. I have been looking for something like the Milwaukee 18V Brad Nailer. This very detailed description was so helpful.
GG on the closet and room upgrade Ali! \o/
Thank you so much for this, seriously.
Beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊
Amazing work! So simple and beautiful, makes such a difference :)
Thank you very much!
I love it!
Thank you!
fab
I appreciate that!
Absolutely AWESOME Rachel!! Fabulous job.
Thank you so much!!
I recently invested in a pin nailer instead of using the brad nailer all the time. I DO NOT MISS WOOD PUTTY lol. Lovely makeover, I’m sure you helped her flow so much 💜
Thank you so much!
Omg I LOVE the cupboard doors!! That is such an amazing idea!!! ❤❤
Thank you!! 😊
Hi Rach, I’m redoing my closet too. I did buy a few prefab shelving sets as it’s a BIG closet ( was the size of my bedroom in NY) and I will use some of your ideas here. Love what you did here. I do prefer the curtains- the doors close the space in. You’re such a good friend❤🇬🇧❤
Thanks for the love xx.
Rach, so much love & attention to detail to this project. OMG that Ikea hack, so imaginative, easy on the eye and so special, you got this girl at your best.❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺 btw it's OK to take a break in the snow.
Thanks so much! 😊
Rachel, I love your pivot. Being grateful brings predictive and happiness and I'm so glad Alli gets to benefit from your refocus and patience.
I'm so sorry to hear about your roof, youre place was looking great. And thank you for telling us the bad news. It's so hard to be vulnerable and potentially feel like you're letting us down with bad news... But we're all just happy to be on this ride with you.
We are all rooting for you!
Thank you so much Amy!
❤ this! I also absolutely love the moment of frustration when the doors don’t just exactly line up 😂… SO been there done that! “So close…” 😂 We are all there with you Ms. Rachel!
It broke my little DIY heart.
Please keep making a video once a week. I like the real raw you. The ups and downs and the imperfections. When you do get it perfect, it is awesome. I am here for your support, no matter what you do. Keep being you!
Trying my best xx.
I just had to do drapes on my closet. It was floor to ceiling and 3 doors worth of panels. I used drop cloths and hemmed them. Love them. Reminds me of when i lived in England. Love your channel
Thank you Terry!
I know exactly how you feel when everyone leaves. I feel that way every time I spend a few days with my grandchildren and then they go home. It’s like the sparkle is gone!
Exactly!
