As I always say, makeover do not have to be so expensive, invasive or drastic. While I do want to reno and demo to make all Holly's kitchen dreams come true; she wants to do some big changes that are going to require a lot more time and a larger budget. Since I am unable to do that, I wanted to see what I could do for less than $200. Remember that it isn't my way or the highway and to tailor your space to your needs and lifestyle as I did here for Holly and her home.

WOW that before and after looks amazing. The shelves are perfect :)
Loving you xx.
Love when creators support each other!
Obsessed with you both! 🥰
Are you going to have collab DIY?
Both are very creative and positive
Girl, you don’t need to apologize
We know you work you butt out doing all this work for us to see, somethings are meant to keep private like money wise, and your relationship with your sister.
I thank you so much for showing us the mistakes you make and how to solve, every house is different and different problems to solve when renovating, you have show us most of them
Thank you for much love.
“I don’t know why I’ve been feeling so lazy and deflated lately” girrrllllllll 😂 there is a GLOBAL pandemic. give yourself a break!!
Haha 😆 it's not normal for me.
!!!!!!! the paint and open shelves make ALLLLL the difference. I love it. You even made the granite look good
The fact that you try all of these diy’s and continually learn is so admirable. I love ‘trying’ new things but all of my ‘try’s’ are all similar to one another because I’m terrified to make a disaster zone! Thank you so much for sharing your journey and putting it all out there for us to see and other’s to judge... I’d love to know if these people ‘judging or harshly critiquing’ you have even tried half of the things that you have...
I was just in such a bad mood and took it out on my voiceover which wasn't cool of me. Thanks for the love anyway!
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz seriously Rachel, you didn't say anything bad!
😊
I will admit, I really wasn’t seeing where this was going with the individual segments, but now that you’ve shown the whole picture, I’m there. Great job, Rachel. You shine even through challenging times. Keep inspiring. We’ll keep loving. ❤️
Rachel, your videos inspire me so much. My dad made me watch him work on houses when I was little, but he never let me use the tools. he wanted me to learn just from watching. But, I'm older now and learning I have to learn how to use tools on my own using youtube and mistakes! Your videos really inspire me to fix things on my own. I'm so proud of your growth through this hard patch in your life and I'm very excited to continue to watch you grow
I watch a lot of DIY videos I mean, a LOT (I think I have a problem, lol) but I have to say I really enjoy yours. You have a very down to earth approach to what you do, the videos don't LOOK cheap and you're very honest about mistakes you make (even filming them) so we can see it all takes a lot of work but isn't always "so easy". I even like the music you use, lol! I can't remember how many of yours I've watched BUT this one made me a subscriber - thanks for sharing!
THANK YOU!
Cray cray chic and expensive looking. In love 😍 with the handmade open shelving
Can't wait to see the privacy fence.
I really don't mind when you "cut corners", it's the reality of a DIY but i do love that you encourage people not to cut corners as well as yourself. It's awesome making yourself proud of the final result.
Thanks for the BAIB info plug.
Lovely video as always 💚💗😊
Thanks for the love xx.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz no problemo! I should be thanking you😄. Your videos motivate me to get up and do something for myself that I actually enjoy. Slowly but surely we get there😊
Rachel you are doing an amazing job. I’m sorry you sound so defeated by nit picky comments, but you know how much work you put into your projects so don’t let other peoples bs get you down! And Holly is really lucky to have you do these incredible transformations for her, just as much as you are lucky she is such a wonderful friend for letting you stay with her!
Thank you!
I just discovered your channel. You are an amazing DYIer. You are showing girls/women that the trades can be for them and not just men.
Wait? You are investing In her house? She is not paying for supplies?
That's what I was wondering too.....
I’m definitely curious how the “business” side works since I am sure she is able to do this for Holly via her sponsors?
Maybe that's Rachel's way to pay rent? She gets to live for free in exchange for work/supplies?
Though I do seem to remember that in the fireplace makeover she mentioned that Holly didn't want to invest too much since it's not her forever home, so maybe they split cost 50/50
Hopefully this isn't another toxic relationship where she is investing her time and money...
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz DAMN!! DAMN, damn, dayum :\
What amazes me every time, is the differens a coat of paint can make in a space! 💜
Right?
Woo hoo your arms and fingers still work!!!!!
Barely 🙃😂.
Haha 😂
WOW, Babe, it’s STUNNING! It’s incredible what a lick of paint and some hard work can do. You prove over and over that you don’t need to spend thousands of pounds to have a beautiful and stylish home. Can I just say, I’m genuinely surprised and disappointed with some disgust that *some* people take it upon themselves to criticise you and your work. FFS, you’re always honest and up front and say that you’re learning too. It boils my piss that these folk think it’s okay to be so rude. Ignore those people, they don’t deserve you wasting your breath on them. I’m so PROUD of you! I Love You, Honey. You do you and what you love and to those that don’t like it.... 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻
Love those privacy films. I have 6×4 ft window that is part of my shower. And I put the rice paper film up and it let's so much light into the bathroom. Much love
Oh love that.
I love learning with you, mistakes and all! My diys have plenty of mistakes too! That’s how we learn❤️
Omg it looks amazing!!
Thank you!
Why does it make me happy to know I'm not the only one that calls Home Depot - Home De Pot 😂
Haha
This is amazing!! Those shelves are everything girl! You’re such a huge inspiration 💖💕
Thank you!
You’re my hero! For real I literally think I can do anything, construction wise!
You are so good at diy! Love your videos!
Thank you!
She gonna miss you when you go! This kitchen is GORGEOUS. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you Denise!
I love this series!! And all of your videos lol, i can watch them all day. Great job 🥰
Wow Rachel love this x
i love the way this is classed as a small kitchen when in the kitchen at my house 2 steps and your already at the end of the kitchen this kitchen is literally bigger than my bedroom jesus christ its huge do americans just have massive kitchens or something? me and my mum would love to have a kitchen this size i think its perfect
Stunning!!!
anyone who comes at you about your process or knobs should go play in the middle of a busy highway. you're doing a fabulous job and your work is beautiful. xoxo
Haha
Hello beautiful job! What size are the shelves that hold the plates ? Please that’s exactly the look I’m looking for ❤
Tip when caulking mix dawn an water in a spray bottle and spray on top of the caulk and it won’t stick to your fingers so no need for gloves.
Oh thank you!
Absolutely stunning
said it once and i’ll say it again, wonder woman af! you’re a warrior mama
Loving you.
You are literally such a bad bitch and should not apologize for being you and doing your best. You will always have those miserable people that comment some rude shit to be mean. Keep up the hard work, sis. You're killing it!!!!
Lmao yoooo when I tell u I really fuck with yo commentary. I be sooo weak. Stop letting these ppl get to you girl, u high key doin yo thang. Hell, half of us don’t even know where to start so anything helps at this point lol. U lit and if nobody told u yet, just know we appreciate u.
Rachel, what is the tool you use to scrape the paint from the wall where it is two different colors?
I love you Rachel and want to be like you when I grow up lol ! You’re a boss girl !! Great content as always !!
Loving you.
Fully amazing!!!
I am also waiting for little humans clothing line...?🥰
Yess!! I was waiting for this video! You are amazing 🤩
🖤
Rachel can you please make a skincare video your skin is so flawless 😍
Awe thank you!
Yo Yo Yo SuperCat!! Always keepin it real Homie!! Haters will hate. You know I kinda always point out one thing I really like in a project. The little shelf above the tile is a fantastic idea!! Hoping all is well Homie, Dirty Jersey out!!!
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving Kid!!
It's ok to feel deflated. We all need a change of pace or something to rejuvenate us.
Love it!!
Thank you!
My kinda girl... lift that cabinet!!!!!
Who’s out here messing with you Rachel ? 😤 I got you 💪🏻
Please link your blog!!!!!
It's in the description!
what's wrong with painting cabinets?
Nothing at all! I just will hire out next time since I don't want to do that process again.
That pull out choping block drawer is pure big brain talent and *I NEED IT IN MY LIFE!*
🖤
Yaaassss🙏🏻
Its not called “cutting corners” or being “lazy” its called being realistic with ya viewers and we greatly appreciate how real you areeee
Thank you!

Rachel, don't keep trying to defend yourself. You do an amazing job. I can tell by the tone of your voice over that some feedback bothers you.
Forget the haters girl! I love your work and 99% of the people who complain are probably never going to get off their butts and do things themselves 🤣 keep doing you and we will be here to watch!
Love you!
The floating shelves are super clean!!! Love it
Oh well hello sir.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz Oh I prefer this collab! you2 are perfect for each other
@@Amelia-on5up Agreed. @Modern Builds and @Living to DIY with Rachel Metz should definitely Collab.

It's crazy how much easier makeovers are when you tackle them in phases - this is the third and final part of Holly's kitchen makeover series. I love how each episode varies in difficulty which I feel like makes this obtainable for anyone. I can't believe we are done with all the rooms in the house? What in the world? How did that happen? I go into even more depth about this kitchen makeover for Holly over on www.baib.space/blog/kitchen-breakdown
...loving you guys always xx.
thank you for always inspiring
Absolutely love what you’ve done at Holly’s!
Are you going to paint the privacy fence black? Please,please...please! 🤓
👏👏👏👏👏👍
Definitely going to check out the blogs! 😊
I love your very real videos. I have been working on my kitchen by myself with no professional help and a nonexistent budget, as in I've got almost everything for cheap or free. Painting cabinets and refacing the old cheap cabinet door fronts by adding beadboard. I wanted to try and turn them to shaker but that was no go. Either I've put off painting my cabinets FOREVER!! THANKS TO YOU I DID IT! I'm not finished but I'm working it in phases! So happy I finally said f it and went for it!!
Rachel: uploads
Me: CLICKS FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT
I make vidz btw💕
I think you are much more productive than most of us in this time :D So no one is calling you out for the different knobs - I wouldn't have noticed it anyway until you said it
When you showed it being finished I genuinely had to pause the video and admire it for a few seconds - This made SUCH a huge change! Now it looks so beautiful (and even the marble is less bothersome and less of an eyesore with everything else looking so stunning)
It was cool to see the countertop not bother me as much! Thanks for the love!
You seems so tired Rach ! Take care of you ! As always, your makeover look awesome
I love that you guys see that and also am sorry that it showed through in this video. I'm so deflated and beyond exhausted but have to finish some deadlines. I took last week off for a refresh and recenter which has me feeling me again. Really love you guys more than you know and am so sorry it shows through.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz you dont need to be sorry you are real and we love that
@@zainabtariq04 thank you for this xx.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz don't be sorry ! Being yourself through your videos make them even better. Also its allowed us to know that your job is fucking exhausting. We have no idea, through a video how long and painful it can be. Your community is close to you thanks to your honesty and transparency, even when you don't want to share a true state of mind
@@YoungCrazyMonkey love you - thank you for this and being so understanding.
Can't wait to see you move in to your house and follow your makeover journey on something that's completely your own!
I can't wait either 😩.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz ♥️♥️♥️
Yes!!!!! I can’t wait for that because it’s Rachel’s vision. A must see! Too bad that she’s making over someone’s home in exchange to live rent free can be daunting and tasking. Rachel is so talented and I hope people hire her for carpentry and interior design work that she so deserves. That could afford her to have a home of her own. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m glad you’re prioritizing yourself and your future Homs 💕💕
“I don’t have the budget to make over another house that’s not mine” I hear that!
Your American plugs are just so funny looking 😄 just looks like a surprised emoji always 😦🤣🤣
I love that I am not the only crazy person in this world, who does her projects while wearing a bathrobe xD
😂
Many of my pyjamas have paint on them! Lol
@@kalanlynn2067 mine too. Living in Tucson Arizona I find the only way to paint during the summer is in my very light weight night gowns.
Wow, that does look fantastic. You really took it from outdated to stylish and modern without breaking the bank.
Although I'm not a fan of open shelving for practical reasons, myself. I did that, when I built my first kitchen and while it looked fantastic, the stuff up there gets dusty/greasy so quickly, it's just not worth it for me. It's a completely personal decision, obviously, but I would hate for other people to copy this style, without being aware of the drawbacks. It really sucked, to have to take it all down again, to install closed cabinets after all.
It sucked even more, to go through all that trouble, just to move out shortly afterwards, but that's a whole different story. I'm sure, you can symphasize ;-))
Thank u. Thats good to know
I can’t wait to see you on your own place, fixing a decorating as you wish, being totally appreciated by your best friends and evolving your channel with new ideas and happiness. You can do it, and I know that’s your next step. The best for you and your blonde friend that always is helping you out.
Soon - fingers crossed.
You are so inspiring... your channel has given me so much inspiration. I’m a diy person... so it has given me so much inspo to actually do my space.
Yay! Love that.
LOVE your work, love your vibes!! 💗🌟 Love that you’re always learning and growing and allowing us to do the same right along w/you🤗
Yes that's the best part xx.
I didn't realize anyone complained in the last video I was reading through all the tips and learned quite a bit. I sand and repaint dressers and somehow missed the memo on your not supposed to let the varnish stripper dry on the drawer face, oops 🤦♀️ but glad I learned it!
I'm going to be stripping a dresser. Glad I read this comment. Thanks, you saved me from a mess down the road.
I would love to see hollys reaction or at least her input at the end, or beginning. I know you guys probably talk about the direction she wants to take and what would be most cost effective, it would be cool to see that conversation. I’m sure she’s so greatful for all the hard work you’ve put into her space and doesn’t think if you as a tornado. You are so cool and are working towards such great things. Truly a boss babe!
I had to windmill slam the like button on this comment because I totally agree. I know this isn’t HGTV and editing takes forever but I liked seeing your friends reaction after you made over her small apt bathroom, or your candid moments with your dad while renovating their place. It’s those interactions that make it feel more dynamic and relatable!! You’re a badass and I hope your friends appreciate that shit ❤️😋 seeing it just confirms what we watching your vids already know.
There are never "reactions" since she lives here. I also like to keep some of my life private! I have one video of how we do that in part one of the fireplace makeover. We really don't talk much about the process since I use her Pinterest board for reference. When I slow down the amount of videos I put out each month next year, I will for sure incorporate things like this.
I thought this was supposed to be a “small” kitchen?
American size small ;)
Did anyone else just assume Holly was funding these makeovers. I felt so bad for Rach saying how bummed she was that it wasn’t her own house she was investing in ☹️
Rachel is paying her “rent” by doing the makeovers! I just saw that in a response to someone else’s similar comment
@@sarahwenger4479
Eehh.
I can see how free labor is a substitute for living "rent free" but free labor AND buying the supplies are NOT the same.
Shit all the money Rachel is investing in to Holly's renovations can be used to pay rent.
Literally.
On top of all that, Holly can sell that house for WAAAYYY more than she paid for it because Rachel lived "rent free".
Trust me, i understand staying busy can be therapy but Holly would have to run me my money for "being busy".
Long story short, Holly's free renovations look nice.
@@stilllearning3012 Girl I’m with you 💯 exactly!!!!!! Something about that type of arrangement doesn’t sit right with me. Rachel is talented in her own right that she would automatically be the “go to” for hire gal by clients that would afforded her sufficient income to have her own place. I agree labor and paying for equipment/supplies are not the same. Nailed it!
@@stilllearning3012 Rachel also gets to use this content for her channel which is her main source of income. Clearly this arrangement is working for the both of them if she’s done this entire series in her friends house
YES we are learning here no rude judgment, love your immense dedication, inspiration and transparency. Your videos are amazing 🖤
Loving you xx.
I can't wait for you to get your own space! You deserve it! It's amazing btw!
Hopefully soon!
You pay for all the renovations plus personal effort and time? Wow never heard of this kind of friendship. Better paying for rent. But of course it is your decision. Can we be friends please?
I’m sure they reached a trade off. Rachel lives there. And it’s none of your business how she spends her money.
HAHA girl your "lazy" is my "productive" okay. This is sort of work is just so taxing and laborious and you deliver beautiful results EVERY. TIME. Whatever little flaws you are unsatisfied with are invisible to the rest of us :)
It’s crazy how much paint changes everything, it even helps the countertops look better! Great makeover!!
Right?
It makes my heart happy that you paint the ceilings. It really bums me out when people redo full rooms and skip the ceiling; they are usually so yellowed.
Thank you for noticing!
I wouldn't trust those skinny shelves with anything over 1 pound; pocket screws from the bottom ayyyyy
Perfect for a spice rack then right 🙃
I don’t understand why anyone would come at you girl! Your work is amazing! Keep it going 😁
Y’all are really complaining about Rachel investing into the house. It’s called a trade. And We get all this great content. Plus Her finances are none of yalls business.
Next time, try just putting some sheetrock behind for support rather than a 2x4. Plenty of spackle or mudd works. Drill it from the front to the backside and leave sticking out so you can put the sheetrock back...you can remove the screws once that mudd is dry. THEN put the old sheetrock back in place. So easy to do. Works every time, and you already are using mudding compound and sheetrock. Easier than using a saw and trying to find some lumber. Just sayin..............
It really irks me that she has to always say that the comment section always tells her that she’s doing something wrong. LIKE LET HER BE! She’s showing us HER DIY. If you know the technical way great, no need to always put her down for it. I honestly feel so bad that she feels the need to always put that as a disclaimer. Girl I’m here to watch YOU NOT TEACH YOU HOW TO DO THINGS💕 you’re an amazing carpenter, do you boo boo I personally think you’re doing amazing!
I have been watching home improvement shows since I was a little kid and this is the first show I have watched that actually makes me feel encouraged to try things myself. The fact that you are so open about just trying things, making mistakes, going back, and fixing them makes doing my own projects seem WAY less intimidating. It's helping me learn that even if I do make a mistake, that's how you learn! So thank you from the bottom of my heart. YOU ARE AMAZING. Please keep doing what you're doing because it's so refreshing and wonderful. You're an inspiring badass.
That's my main goal! Thank you!
Thanks for reminding us you need a just do it attitude to learn and make progress! I get so stuck on perfection I talk myself out of starting most projects. I love that you're honest about having crappy lazy moments and working through them. Takeaway is that if you stay focused and keep chipping bit by bit, you'll end up with your own masterpiece!
Getting notifications of your video's makes me so happyyyyy !!! I'm planning to do a office make over. Greetings from Suriname 🇸🇷
Yay!
Same Girl, Same. How are you supposed to do it right if you don't learn how to do it? I've been reno-ing my house now for over a year and everything I have done I had to learn how to do. My hubby is not handy and just gets in the way. You learn, and you get better for next time. Keep trucking along. Because girls can do it too! Thanks for being inspirational and doing what you do. Happy Thanksgiving Rachel!
It looks so much better also Rachel you are a wonder woman for doing all these makeovers with so little help in such a small amount of time and then providing us content 👏👏👏👏👏cudos to you gurll
I love it! Can Holly reach those mugs? I know she's shorter than you...
As short person with 10 ft ceilings and thus giant cabinets, I keep a step stool nearby lol
Girl SO GOOD!! 👏🏻😱 Painting our kitchen cabinets next month. Wish me luck!
You got this!
One of the things that I love from your channel is how realistic the whole process is, how things are done in phases. It's important to show all these because realistically when we're doing DIY, more likely than not, we're going to face some bumps, whether it's just plain exhaustion, some mental blocks, or what-have-you.
Thank you!
STOP SAYING 'QUOTE ON QUOTE' AND 'DONT COME AT ME' i love watching you but i can't bear it anymore lol
I absolutely loved this! The green cabinets and open shelving look great and I like how this looks like a budget-friendly and rather 'real' makeover.
Don’t beat yourself for cutting corners. You do A LOT. And as you said it’s you’re second house you’re investing in and it’s not yours. You’re a blessing and am sure very appreciated for all you are doing. So take it easy on yourself. 😁 you’re amazing and a huge inspiration to me!
Thank you Gloria!
I don’t know if you’ll ever understand how big of an inspiration your videos are. Seriously Rachel, you are incredible!!!!!!

White caulk and your finger will clean up the paint around the light switch. Looks beautiful!
Exactly what I did! 🖤
I love the cabinet color! What color/finish is it?
It's linked and I state the finish I believe xx.
People- please?! As someone who is also DIY obsessed, renovating my entire house basically on my own, also recently split from a breakup- I relate so much. We even kind of look alike 😂 but it seriously bothers me, not that you apologize and acknowledge the negative comments or people chastising your process- BUT that most people leaving those comments have no idea how hard it is to take on the kind of projects you do. Much less solo, while filming, editing, creating a blog space, paid promos, etc everything. as. a. One. Woman. Show. RESPECT 🙏🏼 Rachel Metz has every right to come off how ever the fuck because I’m sorry, it’s authentic and yes, exhausting. You go girl, I live for the sass because well, I’m the same way 😂 idk what my channel is going to look like. It’s hard enough to get started on the job, then before you do that you gotta pre job with camera equipment, batteries, storage, file organization, on and on and on.. job inception 🤯 don’t apologize, give em hell 🤘🏼
I cant believe what a difference that small shelf sitting right above the backsplash makes in finishing it off-what a good idea. Everything looks great!
I love you Rachel... Ahahah litteraly me when I am painting!!! How the hack those people dressed in their Sunday dress with the perfect nail and perfect hair, without protection on the floor can paint like that.
