Gearing up for some large makeovers next week and I couldn’t be more excited. I wanted to slow down and take a beat to give some basic tips and tricks from electrical to door hardware. I know this is a simple makeover but thought it'd be great for those of you thinking you need all these tools to make the biggest difference - you do not!

This is for all my humans that keep hitting me up about what can you do without all the tools - where here's a take on it first go around! Same thing with Tanya's studio makeover. We are headed into some really insane makeovers that I am so damn proud of so we're taking it easy this past week. September is hands down one of my favorite months of makeovers ...eek!
I can't wait to see what you do next. I love the green cabinets. Do you plan on painting the others green or will you keep them in the wood tone? Or maybe black? Excited to see what you do next.
Absolutely love the variety of things you're doing on your channel, I'm so invested in Holly's home makeover now. Love how her sense of style goes so well with your mad DIY skills!
It's insanely beautiful,everything you create is 🔥your very talented
Corta la luz loca!!!
Beautiful
Thank you!
I ve binge watched your videos. I m amazed at the things you do. What do you do for work?
I wanna watch a dog den makeover broooo
It's on my channel xx.
You are so thoughtful. I love your content.
Thank you!
Absolutely Striking!!!
Love it! I too (had to back up the video to make sure I heard you right) was nervous about the black ceiling, but the elision of length, chic, and less is more looks stunning 🖐🏼🎤🖤
The black floor to ceiling is everything 🔥
Hi Rachael. Did you paint the door with a paint brush or did you spray it?
Brush
Love that light fixture!! 😍
Thank you! Holly picked it out.
I love the curling and back wall back! That looks amazing! But I do think you should paint the cabinet white. I think the natural wood doors would look better white vs black. It takes away from the ceiling effect.
The warm yellow bulb color makes the black look brown. Daylight LED bulbs would look much better.
badass lady
My ceiling in my great room is black! I’m the one who bought the solae sofa and rug you got from article! It was shown in that photo 😁
i really love your work
Thank you!
Beautiful entryway, love it! By the way, you have such beautiful eyes!!
Thank you!
That stripe of black that ends in the opposite floor?! Just genius Sara Nena DIY
🖤
Anybody know what those lights are called in the kitchen? They’re like in a row and look adjustable?
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz Thank you Rachel!!! 🤞🏽 i love that idea for my parents kitchen, they current have ugly flourescent tube lights that give me breaking bad vibes 😂😂😂
Track lights
I agree putting a gold door knob. But overall beautiful. Great work as always
Soooo excited for the sliding door video! I’m about to start building mine for my daughters play room!
I absolutely love you Rachael! You explain things so well. You give me the confidence to try so many things that i would not otherwise attempt.
I love it, one small thing that doesn't work for me is the gloss in the black paint. I personally like eggshell/matte for walls.
For a hallway, flat is not ideal since it isn't easy to clean.
My husband is an electrician. He also knows how to do most other construction related jobs, only thing he isn't familiar with is plumbing. He DEFINTLEY comes in handy lol
This is so unique!! I love it! Can’t wait to see what else you guys do with this space!!
Me either xx.
Didn’t like the cupboard doors with black and plywood and black handle. If there could be a revamp of that area, entry way would be really great.
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz Ofcourse it works for your friend and that’s all what matters 🙂. I was just wondering if there is something better that can be done there like laminating it with art work or photograph so that it looks like a statement art piece, something more elegant.
Name sure to not do that in your home xx.
I ordered raycons when you first posted about them & i LOVE them 🥰
They are so damn good. I love them.
Not gonna lie the black ceiling,doors sucks. Its looks like a ghost house like there's someone standing and you won't be able to see
Thank goodness it isn't your home and the client is happy with it!
Ohhh yes, the dreaded boob light and then followed by the chrome fixture everything... who started this 😂
Can I make a suggestion? ALWAYS do a pull test on your electrical wire terminations, to make sure they are well secured. You don't want that hot wire making contact with something metal (like the light enclosure) and making that live and potentially creating a fire or shock hazard
Thank you!
Where do you get left-handed door handles?
Oh I don't know! Amazon?
You mentioned changing the strike plate for the doors. Did you change out the hinges to black ones as well? Seriously love the black ceiling and door! 😍
They were painted white previously so I left those as is.
the wood splitting at 11:34 gives me all the anxiety 😱
I love your work. I'm inspired to do this in my hall with midnight blue. Could be cool if you painted the slats of the dog room black, shoji screen vibe.
looooove
Hi Rachel. What do you think about switching out the door hinges to the same color as the door knob? Necessary or not necessary?
Necessary in my opinion unless you're mixing metals.
I feel like the entryway needs a mirror
Great feedback xx.
does anyone else notice the messy paint lines on the walls?
Yes yes yes for the millionth time yes haha. I am cleaning them up xx.
Holly's black ceiling and total end wall was a real flair of genius. Nicely done.
@Living to DIY with Rachel Metz worthy of the feelings,isn't she. Has a good eye and good to work with,looks like.k
Love her so much.
Would you recommend changing the door hinges to black if I change the handles to black?
Yes!
I am absolutely obsessed with this makeover series! I’ve been binging!🤩 I’m so excited to see the whole house!🥰
Yay!
The wobbly lines and not removing light switch plates and lights before painting triggered me but the hallway looks great!
Oh don't you worry - I have a fun video planned for all that xx.
I really liked this more explanatory type video!
Yay!
Can you do full tour on renovation you made on Holly’s house once you finished.
Yes of course.
It’s a real treat working on these old so-cal homes. When I was replacing some of our outlets and fixtures some of the outlets weren’t grounded properly by whomever did it last, so much old wiring and most the wires were old horsehair wires and all black. I’ve been wrapping the hot wires with some red electrical tape when taking them apart to remind myself which wire was hot.
Electrical is so weird everywhere I've lived.
I think my room is kinda well designed but I am getting bored of it the layout looks nice all the decor looks nice but how can I like spruce it up make it different without totally redoing my room if that makes since
Spruce it up in your home! This is Holly's space so I'm respecting it.
I love the black ceiling and door
Me too! Holly is a G
I am loving your videos. Both your building projects and your make a home videos. I am learning so much and have made my first wood project. Thank you for giving me the confidence.
How far did u take the black ceiling?? I'm loving loving this and kinda thinking of doing my hallway ceiling black but it leads into my kitchen living room, how would I stop it without it looking choppy
Oh my lanta!! I wasn’t sure about the black paint, but I love the end result!!!
🖤🤍
I swear i got like 20 ads!! What is wrong with youtube 😂😪
Oh my gosh. Rude.
Great tips! They're simple changes that can make a big impact on a space! I'm definitely changing my door handles to black ASAP!
Yay!
LOVE LOVE LOVE
I really appreciated that last little segment about tying in the design elements throughout the house- like with you walking down the hallway and explaining everything, it just made sense!! I absolutely love what you are doing, Holly’s and your design is GOALS
Yay! 🖤
Way cool!
Thank you!
I loooooove painted or wall papered ceilings! A gold door knob would be gorgeous! Nice job!
🖤
Electrical always freaks me out. I was zapped by a 220 when I was a teen, and now Im gunshy with it.
It's def intimidating.
Rachel you have come a long way. you just taught me how to change a light fixture thanks.It has always been so scary. I love your realistic videos keep em coming!!!
Yay!
I love the look of Holly’s room and partial kitchen make-over.
Yay!
Rachel I love love loveeee this one, minimal but awesome. Even your outfit and makeup matches the redo yes mammmmm👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 ps: I've always wanted to try the ceiling to door paint finish as a renter so extra excited to try now.
Thank you for this!
this video is so well shot and edited!
I love it! You guys make a dream team of design and execution. Thank you for sharing. Legend!
Love it! OMG HOLLY- she is the one you did the sick bedroom make over for!! Ive shown so many of my friends that video! I love how her room and closet turned out!
You painted the smoke detector!!!! BRILLIANT!!!!! I love ❤️ Love ❤️ LOVE ❤️ it!!!!!
HGTV needs to give you a show already!
oof the ceiling light is not positioned straight, my ocd is crying
What do you do for the door flat part if the hole is too big and you need it smaller instead of chiseling it out? Wood glue?
I see the black paint is coming off of your ryobi drill from your shed/ workroom makeover.
I think the gold door knob on the black door will look so stunning! It’ll definitely add a little pop of color and still be chic. Loved your thought process in everything!
Every time I check you have uploaded. Mannnnn
It's a beautiful design. Please consider cleaning up the edges of the black paint for a sleeker look.
Yes I am aware haha you guys are really coming after me with the paint. 😩 now I know I can't rush during 4 makeovers at once haha.
I love how the door appears after the light is on!
🤍🖤
hey Rachel! Hope you're doing okay. You sound a bit tired in the voiceover but I still hope you're okay. Don't forget to take a break every once in a while. We all know you're a powerhouse but don't push yourself too much. Also a remind to drink some water
Thank you xx.
I adore what you did to the cabinets omg
Thank you!
The black door handle on the black door gives the illusion that hallway goes on forever. If you break it up with a gold handle it loses what makes it so great.
I was thinking gold too!
DH and I watched this vid this morning -- and honestly -- you are the BEST!! This hallway is genius!! thanks so much for sharing all of the details!
Thanks for watching!
We have the same lamp and had the same trouble. My arms were so sore from reinstalling the lamp about eight times...
😩
Ain't gonna lie, thought you guys were nutz wit da black paint. Then it all came together nicely. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Haha
Love the black ceiling 👍🏼
Me too!
My new fav thing to do is to watch ur videos u are soooo talented
Wow thanks!
The black and white looks so sharp, love the ceiling and the cupboards. I think the same door handle but in gold would look amazing too 👌
🖤🖤🖤
I think a matching white handle on the black door, would be a nice contrast against the white doors with the black handles.
Great idea!
Hiring an electrician isn’t cheap correct. Neither is your house burning down because shitty workmanship
Yes agreed! This is the basics that I can do. My pops is coming out to help me fine tune some areas I've left alone since I know my limits xx. Appreciate your comment.
Thank you for always taking time to interact with your viewers ❤️ we love you 😍
Thank you for watching!
I love that the dogs were passed out on their daybed...sorry, their CUSTOM daybed #iconic 🐾🐾❤️❤️
🖤🖤🖤
You did a beautiful job. Thank you, I needed a distraction from the division going on in our country. 💙
🖤🖤🖤
Looks awesome as always! Been following you for a while. Love your videos and your personality and demeanor. And for someone who doesn't like to paint you have a great hand!
You're welcome ;)
Appreciate that xx.
Love it! Where is the art piece from?
Home goods.
I absolutely love the black. I’ve been adding black a lot into my home but never considered the ceiling to be black. It looks amazing. Great job ladies!
🖤🤍
I just finished painting a textured ceiling in a house that had brown ceilings🙄 it wasnt fun. But now I wish I would've done black in the hallway too! That looks great!!
Thank you!
Yes, why are the simplest tasks the hardest? I have brought to tears over them and sometimes it feels like every step to getting something done is an endless battle. I totally feel you, but I'm also relieved it isn't only me. Thank you so showing your struggles. It actually makes me feel more confident.
Thank you for your support xx.
How many times do you get mistaken for Angelina Jolley?? Loving you videos.. Holly is badass...love her design choices
That's really sweet xx.
Oh wow the last shot of this just looks amazing, I am absolutely in love with the made over kitchen area and how it ties in perfectly with the snippet of bathroom we saw... What a pretty house!
Thank you!
I would have never thought to paint the ceiling black! You two are so creative and I just love seeing all the results
Appreciate that xx.
17:29 you can paint white or gold on that rectangles of the door. I mean the carve part
i think the black door and ceiling are cool but in this space where there isn't a lot light makes it feel very dingy and makes the space feel smaller but still a great video :)
🤩
Wow the house looks amazing with the new makeover 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
🖤
One thing my dad has taught me about electrical is to wrap the shit out of every wire cap with electrical tape. And to wrap down about an inch onto each of the grouped wires. That prevents a wire coming loose and causing issues.
Oh thank you for that.
I thought about adding black paint at the end of the hallway straight when you started the video 🙈
🖤
