It’s time to stop messing around and it’s time to focus. I haven’t had the opportunity to do a large scale design project or focus on one thing for a long period of time for my entire UA-cam career. I’m excited to announce that Rochelle will be my full time project for the remainder of 2021 and to take you along the journey.

If you guys have watched ANY helpful RV or trailer transformations or know any trailer tiny home conversion creators - please link them in response to this comment. Remember to give me all the feedback so I can implement as I make my way through this thing! Love you guys and can’t wait for phase one of the bathroom makeover xx.
So great seeing you! Now I can stop crawling around my notifications looking for you 😉. @modernbuilds does an awesome job with his school bus as does @Incredibletinyhomes with container and ESP homes. As well as their tiny homes. What you'll get from them are their principles and techniques. Knowing how creative you are, I'm sure you'll be inspired. Hope this helps and best of luck. Tfs
I've mentioned this before but heated flooring might be nice to have in the bathroom or depending on budget the RV. However, I don't know how cold it gets but it might be a nice this to have early mornings/during winter times. Also I am super stoked on the future green house idea. I'm all for it! Love that idea! Also for the sliding door I think it would be good to have a sliding "wall" have a decorative wall to cover the bathroom then could move it left to right if wanting to open up the space your sitting/entertaining in. OR the idea of a "round" wood framed wall. I mean that as the same thing as I said before however the wood would be able to bend and be closer to the wall. It's very hard to describe what I'm talking about on here but if you could invision a up and down wood strips and the movement would be like a curtain in the hospital. How the curtains have a curve for privacy. Although it would be closer to the wall and you could use the wood you already have to add texture. Idn...it's just a thought. GOOD LUCK! As always, I can't wait for the next video! 🤍
You'll definitely going to see something amazing and inspiring at "NEVER TOO SMALL" UA-cam Channel!
@DualEx did a really cool RV reno a few months back. He's worked on vans as well.
You should reach out to Bea and Theo at The Indie Projects. They have a fabulous UA-cam channel and have converted vehicles, travel homes and are currently converting an abandoned stone barn in Portugal.
Eamon and Bec are another couple that reno vans AND just did a cabin over the last few months.
I bet they'd love to give you some advice and they have lots of videos! Missed your vids and I was so happy to see this one uploaded today ❤
Favorite quote. "I thought I was going to dominate the desert and the desert definitely dominated me." You're so authentic. So skilled. Thanks so much for sharing this part of your journey and the trailer remodel! I've already learned so much and can't wait for the next video.
You're my desert gem!
I sooo needed this today. You mention “Focus” - I get really overwhelmed with “all the things & ideas” which then leads to deflation… so I can definitely relate. 😉 Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us! I’m so excited! 🖤
Glad I'm not alone!
Oh my gosh, I’ve been dying to see Rachel Metz yes!!!! Finding Rachel. After a horrible relationship that ended in my life it took me a couple of years to remove all the crap that once defined me, but wasn’t me. It’s liberating to put that old shell off. I love watching you on your journey. These make overs are more exciting because they’re actually YOU and what speaks to you. I love your fearless approach. Each thing you complete the house becomes more and more you!!! You go girl!!!! You’re encouraging the rest of us even this OLD woman. Love it.
Thank you love! We are stronger than we think.
As long as she keeps defining herselg as a hot mess or a hot fucking mess, depending on the hour, she'll always be one. The way you define and speak about yourself makes it so. Good to know, right?
I'm so happy for you Rachel, that has encouraged me. When i get some money I'll sign up for patron. Blessings always
Welcome back! We missed you! Hope all is OK in your desert world! Love from Canada! Fellow Gemini...XO
Loving you xx.
Have you thought about making the windows bigger/adding more? I know that would be a huge project lol but it would be so nice to get some nice light and views in there
Yes! Episode 3 will have a window addition to the bathroom that I JUST sourced today. Woohoo!
I've been slowly renovating my home over the last few years and sometimes it really is soooo frustrating but soooo damn rewarding! I am excited to see where you go with this series, I'll be watching for inspo AND motivation (:
I’ve been on the fence about restarting a project because I just completed it and don’t ‘love’ the style. This is my sign to make it look how I truly want it. Love you for always inspiring! PS: why do I feel like the RV needs some beads for a room divider??? Lol
WHY ARE YOU IN MY AMAZON SEARCH HISTORY 😂
I love you guys so much.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz Anthropologie has the bead doors!
You're such an inspiration! I'm looking forward to you renovating "Rochelle" 🥰
Thank you 🙏🏼
Rachel you are so beautiful, the jumpsuit with the bikini underneath, ripping apart walls and planning design simultaneously. Wow 👏
🥰
I miss u when you're gone! I have grown to really enjoy your lifestyle and personality since you've been single!! Keep living your dream it's wonderful to watch
Wow I appreciate that a ton.
Love the accountability and acknowledging past self vs. present self. the growth is lovely
🤍🦋
I love how much you talk about the emotional parts of projects like this. I bought a 200 year old duplex 4 months ago and spent the last 4 months screwing around, not being able to focus. Overwhelmed by ideas with little action. The last 2 weeks I’ve felt a lot more focused as well, it’s nice to see someone else dealing the same way. I learn so much from you, thank you❤️🔥
Ah you're so welcome!
So exciting, you're killing it. Messy is human and beautiful, soak it in ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹
🥰
LOVE the new energy/vibe! Looking forward to seeing you tackle this project!
Ah I am so happy you can feel it!
Rachel, I’ve been thinking about this a lot and Palm Springs keeps coming to mind. Walls of windows, MCM vibe with minimalistic built ins and beautiful wood, built ins would allow for additional storage as well. Just thinking how incredibly beautiful that sunset view would be…
taking down the layers and finding the new happy for you and your gorgeous place, sounds perfect
🥰
I began to BREATHE better when you removed the cabinetry in the living room!
I've been cheering you on to do that!!!
No such thing as "dumb mistakes" within creative processing!!!
Idk if anyone mentioned it but trailers like this rely on the cabinets and floor to ceiling furniture to help support the walls sometimes. Not sure what the winds are like there probably not 60mph you get when towing it so maybe not an issue but I thought I’d let you know in case you didn’t.
As mentioned in the video, it's not moving. It's a guest house so it'll be built different.
I have worked for years in construction, I love that you addressed the roof and walls to be dry. So many people do not get "dried in" and pay a hefty price for that lesson. If I was to give you one piece of advice of a next "to do", get that old HVAC unit off the roof and get a mini split heat pump for your new system. Again really do like the spray foam idea as well for insulation, health and comfort are always top priority in remodels then you can do the "fun" stuff. You have a new subscriber. Keep being the best you each day.
Yes! That was my plan!
When you said, "I fully encourage you changing your space as you change as a human," I really felt that 🖤 In the past I always somehow felt guilty changing a look up that I once liked, especially if I just changed it, but I've learned to consider it a learning opportunity about what I do and don't like and its very comforting knowing others experience this as well.
Loving you xx.
I hope your dog is okay - I’d check for dental issues for sure can effect to many things….
It's him losing baby teeth!
Hooray for opening up the vanity area!!!
And she's baaaaaack! I'm loving your process babygurl! Looking forward to this conversion. I feel you about the not feeling like a place is yours. Bought a previously loved home and still coming to terms with it feeling like mines. I love what you said about just because you designed something doesn't mean it has to stay that way. ❤️ Looking forward to episode 2
Opening it up opens up so many possibilities! Love watching you grow and change along with your projects. So exciting!!!
🥰🥰🥰
Can I just say that you slayed this? Mygod! Can't take my eyes off your toned abs.
Awe thank you!
👌🏼👌🏼💖💖. Save your beautiful hands.. Gloves girly.. 😘
So glad I found your channel!
You are in a very crucial stage of your life Rachel! You are growing so much right now, which means so many changes in all aspects of life. When I was your age, I was in the same boat! Go with the flow, do what you want, do what feels right, and so many amazing things are in store for your future! Xo
Loving you xx.
I also do get overwhelmed with ideas and then suffer focus-wise - I've found that since getting an ADHD diagnosis and getting on medication that it's really helped me calm that part of my brain down and allow me to redirect it into lists/slush piles so that I can circle back to the things I truly find inspirational and move forward on one thing at a time!
You can do it Rachel!
I live in ATX, wish I lived out in the dessert. Love the land
As soon as you pulled out that flexitape my wallet started crying. Idk what it costs in USD but its 20 dollars a roll here in Canada. 😬 smart move to switch to something a little more affordable.
I just need a damn drill to hang a picture that I’ve had for a month. I live in an apartment, and the walls that have windows are cement! Such a pain.
I’m hoping if I ask my friend to borrow her drill!!
Hey Rachel!! You should totally do barn doors for the bathroom! Love to see another episode, seems it’s been awhile.
You are living my bucket list !
Love from Canada 🇨🇦
I would suggest using Corroseal on all the rust patches. Super easy way to rid the rust and convert it.
Screen shotted it and looking into it!
Idk if this makes sense but if you want privacy for the bathroom and bedroom but don't want the separation maybe you could do a rounded snake kind of track w/ two barn door style doors in front of one another that on two tracks that cover both rooms instead of a straight track to cover just the main door and not the bathroom. Then when you don't either covered you could tuck them both back to back on the well next to the bathroom and it could be a pretty design element. I hope that made sense! 😅 you're doing great, keep up the incredible work 😊
💛💛💛the waves of focus come and go but you use them well, mama Metz. Never doubt that.
Wondering how current Rachel feels about her work on the roof of past Rachel 😆😆😆😆
🦕
Feel like would be helpful to map layout of furniture or even moving around bathroom if you’re able to relocate or some aspects since you have more room maybe towards back or in that area it’s in would help then when you demo remaining stuff and rebuild inside can make room for lighting and outlets and built ins
Wowwww !! Amazing home works!!
I love your tshirt (Kill Bill) !!
Cheers from Spain !!!
Thank you!
... I put in new flooring over the weekend (completely solo).... There was some blood and tears but I I'm left feeling so empowered..... ALL inspired by YOU!!!
Ah! That's so badass.
Yes she’s smart, super talented, obviously gorgeous…yet when she referenced Stepbrothers “so much room for activities”, I knew she was my people. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
😂 the best movie.
Yup genius. Mid-century that sucker, it's begging for it, pocket doors, post beam(can make faux out of 3 1x4s in a U and they can cover wiring and other services), floor to ceiling windows, sunken shower pan with platform so it's walk in/through.
🙏🏼
Rachel, EXACTLY you were in a different mind space, no worries. KEEP ON KEEPIN ON
🥰
Pup is just loosing his baby teeth! Totally normal.
It isn't RV/MH reno, BUT I am absolutely enthralled by the folks at Good Simple Living as they build their dream home by themselves. Melissa does an ending narration which is always inspiring. It is always a reminder that when you lay down tonight, if something not done when the sun rose is now finished, you are at least moving forward. They acknowledge how overwhelming the dream while they review and celebrate every new skill, task completion, and their perseverance. Sounds like you need some of that as you tackle this. Consider watching latest episode (10/14/21) and see if you don't find inspiration in tackling the daunting!
Oh thank you for this!
You look like youre doing well, I’m happy for you, I’m also excited for this transformation… i have some financial things then I’m going to sign up for your Patreon..
Thanks for this xx.
I love my hot Metz 🤣 I can relate so much. That's why I love my favorite UA-camr. ❤️❤️❤️
Haha love you!
You're such a Gemini Rachel lol it's very fresh and weightless? To watch your videos. It gives me lot of inspiration to move on and change things as my heart desires!
It's been a crazy ride following you for the past 5 years?? Or more? Lol and every time you upload it just makes me more and kore excited about your creations.
Keep up the good work!!
5 years!!!!
"DIYfferent" remodeled (read that as "rebuilt") a mobile home in Michigan a year or two ago. I say rebuilt, because by the time they got through all the rotten wood, worn pipes, etc., so forth, and so on, they really had rebuilt it. This isn't going to happen overnight, Rachel. Pace yourself. You're building from the ground up, just someone else left a mess for you to clean up first.
🤍🦋
What a damn fun project!!! Just found this video/ you. Can’t wait to go through your back catalogue ❤️
Wow thanks for watching!
Hi Rachel I'm really missing the frequency and length of u'r videos. I'm so happy to see u posted but then the video is over quickly and I luv to see u work. I'm a old girl so I only subscribe to u'r UA-cam channel and follow on Instagram so I guess I'm missing somethings by not subscribing to u'r other channels etc.. Just thoughts from u'r faithful subscriber 🥰
I appreciate your feedback and hope to be back consistently. It's been a rough year being a first time homeowner and adjusting to the desert.
2:29
Foreshadowing: it was ruined by a giant desert storm….
Am I sad that the pink vanity is going? Why yes I am Rachel, thanks for asking.
Excited that you're getting a type of second wind and getting shit done. Eeep!
Haha
I know this is probably a stupid question. How does one know if a trailer is worth fixing up? Or buy a better one. I understand money cost factor, there must be a structural check. Don’t you think?
I'm not sure! I would need to do more research about that. This one came with my property.
You've probably already mentioned this and I forgot or didn't see it, but where is your water coming from? A spring, a well...?
You'll have to wait for the plumbing episode for the break down. It's a lot!
I forgot about that vanity! (But I do remeber the instagram post).
I loved it even if it wasn't my color and my style. Well it had stars so I might be partial because of that...
So excited to see Rochelle's transformation!
Thanks for this!
She's baaaack! Watch out world Metz is focused. Nothing can stop a focused Metz.
Feels good.
Your bathroom rampage is SO relatable, it's normal routine for me to finally get myself motivated to start working on a project, then having a hundred ideas, getting overwhelmed, and then completely deflated and unmotivated and frustrated because i just cant one track my mind. Oof, if you find a way around it let us know!
Thanks Aiden!
You are such an inspiring Woman, like srsly you are able to do so much alone and you do it alone. I just love your content, because I have more confidence to do stuff by myself, like building a shelf. I mean sure it ain´t a lot, but a year ago i didn´t even consider builidngs like that to do by myself. Thank you so much, I am looking forward to your series
I really appreciate that.
It's funny watching you talking to yourself 'I'm a genius!" Yes I'm quoting you! :)
Haha 😂
just when i thought i was out, she pulls me back in... (jk, i was never really out - but now i'm so excited for this trailer series!)
Awe thank you xx.
Rachel your my spirit animal!❤️…btw where did you get your beautiful lavender bralette?
Free people!
We're any of those walls or book case structural?. Campers are made differently.
Nope! Well...I hope not haha. Framing today though so I'm not stressing.
Me gustaría mucho que subtitularas, 😁
So im new to your channel. This is the 1st video I've seen. Love your vibe. Im hooked... And look forward to seeing how the trailer comes together
Wow thanks for watching!
You have a lot of work !😬You can do this rachel !😊🤙Greeting #Bulatsschmiede from germany (Bulat the Blacksmith)😊🤙
Was worried about you. So glad to see you back!
The RV redo is going to be great fun to watch.
Question- what shape is the air conditioner on top of the RV in? Will you have to replace it?
I'll probably install 2 mini splits.
You are such a doll. Beautiful and so talented. I know this was a while ago but I am going back and trying to watch it all cause you are walking inspo! 😍❤
Thank you!
Welcome back Rachel, Looking forward to your next DIY.
Hi Debra!
Ha! She reminds people of how upset they got because the glass wasn’t all the way… and now its being dem’od three months later!? So funny! But true?
Haha 😂
I know there are silver Labs (it's thought there may be a bit of Weimaraner in their background) but your sweet pup looks more like a Weimaraner than a Lab. My Lab sheds sooooo bad I'm thinking about going with the other when she leaves me.
He's so silver!
you are soooo adorable and real... congrats on all you have accomplished since your break with your boyfriend, you are a better and happier human now I think.. love your channel..
Thank you!
@DaulEx is your guy
Thank you!
Perfect timing! Lol Rachel Metz on my break from work! Woot woot!!!
Look at us go.
13:03 literally me when im unable to recollect what I read just a few minutes ago 🤣... anywho I'm loving this who restarting thing ♥ !
Thank you!
I love that you are working so hard on being true to yourself and you are open to making changes as you change! I loved your vanity the first time but i am excited to see what you make this time!
Thank you for watching!
Yayyy been waiting 💗
Missed you guys.
Always love your videos and how you are so authentic. I love that you show us your growth and changes. Don't ever apologize for your content.
Thanks for the love!
Make sure they have good foundation 👍😌
Need to get down to brass tax here... Where do you get your bikinis from? 😵😵😵 A women needs to know.
Company called Skatie is the top and the bottom was Melissa Simone then the strappy back sports bra is Free People
My pup was chewing something suss and I asked him to "drop it" and he spit out a molar tooth. "Is that normal??!" The things we learn lol.
Haha
It's "Spinelli" from the cartoon Recess!! 🤣🙌🏿
🥰
I like your videos bc you do all the demo and the work yourself. I did a demo on my closet and used joint compound to finish and I felt like such a badass. Then I reused those materials. I can't wait to see how you decorate this and I love the vintage/reclaimed desert aesthetic. Love ur dogs too!
Thank you for this!
Was busy the whole day, hence only now I'm watching of course I wouldn't missed it 😊🥰
Loving you xx.
Awe he's loosing his baby teeth totally normal.
Thank God you are back after not seeing you with new posts. Pls post more videos often. Take care 💖
Took a little unexpected break but I'm back!
Don't worry, we all need to find our mojo sometime. You've a lot to do on the property and it can be over whelming when you've do many ideas 💡of what you want, then like every woman on the planet you change your mind.
Have you looked up shipping containers as some of them have brilliantly thought of space saving ideas 💡and of course different tastes. ( UA-cam videos) Tiny Homes, Live big in tiny homes. Think they are the names.
Hope they give you some ideas ,and it's helpful.
See you soon 😊xxx
She's not redoing a trailer, but xo, MaCenna is doing a series on her whole house reno. Maybe check her out. She's not quite to rebuilding yet, but it won't be long now.
Thank you!
Frosted glass doors , or you can get the film to put over glass that shines rainbows in , that we be such a fun way to keep it open , you could do folding doors as well. Hopefully that gives you some ideas , opening up the space really helped I think
Love that.
Will you be leveling the whole trailer? Like putting it on jacks or something to make sure the whole structure is leveled.
Yes! Jacks for sure.
I saw a tiny house tour once with multiple sliding doors that could cover different spots, either the bedroom or bathroom, they were kinda interconnected? Very cool
Oh thanks for this feedback!
Omg I absolutely want to stay in your guest house one day!
I didn't realize how I missed your videos until I started watching this. I was literally you when my pups lost their teeth it's so cute to see 🙈 can't wait for the new episodes! You have really interesting ideas
Thank you! Feels good to be back.
You’re my hero girl! Love watching you kick butt with your Renos
Feels good to be back.
YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS RACHEL METZ POSTEDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!
So I have an idea for a bathroom door but I don't know if I am going to be able to describe it very well... here goes nothing! So it looks like a mini double door when it is closed, right at the toilet there, but then you swing both doors out 90 degrees and they then expand to double the size and connect to the wall on the other side. I don't know if the measurements work out or not but it would make it so you didn't have to have the toilet exposed and hanging out in the middle of your house all the time. If it isn't quite long enough to reach the wall on the other side you could add a bit of a built in shelf on the other wall to make up the difference. Who doesn't need more storage in the bathroom!
So funny! I thought of something like that.
Stay with me on this. Frosted glass sliding doors. Privacy but allow light all the way through.
Love it so much.
