This is a big one and OH MY GOSH AM I EXCITED! Holly has been dying to do the exterior of her home ever since I first started on her bedroom. Just with everything (even though the house looks a bit nuts half painted) is going to be tackled in phases! She spent an absurd amount to get her house painted the wrong color years ago and we have already 1/2 of it (not featuring the back quite yet to you guys) in a weekend’s time. Although this process was a bit of a painful learning experience, I couldn’t be more stoked we pushed through and came out on top!

doors are a bitch! I've been told take the amount of the door and then double it for the install cost.
Does the look need wifi to work?
Nothing more secure than a glass entrance door.
Thanks for your feedback! We haven't finished the makeover with the gate and privacy fence.
I can’t get over how low they did the handle on the door. And how it seems like a bit of a squeeze to get your finger between the lock and the door frame to scan your finger print, it looks a bit awkward. But the aesthetic looks GREAT - so amazing 💫
That's where Holly wanted it! So I put it there. Make sure to adjust for your home xx.
sweet!
looks good, but no running around in your panties until the privacy fence. 🤭
Haha
*at the end* Callie: mommy... mommy, you've forgotten me, am still inside
AWWWWW THAT FACE IN THE DOOR!!!!❤️❤️❤️😅😅😅
The best part xx.
HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU REMAIN SPOTLESS NOT A HAIR OUT OF PLACE WHILE YOU ARE PAINTING!!! THAT!! IS A TALENT!!. on a more serious note can you say what hand moisturizer you use? All that elbow grease, and your hands look so soft!! I'm a nurse and I've tried every moisturizer on the planets.

I like what you do, but this time I must say I loved the original door better, it was so much more apropriate to the house and the vibe all together. I think I would have tried to save the old door.
@Living to DIY with Rachel Metz it was just an opinion, meant no harm🤷♀️ If you put up this content, you must accept the positives and negatives as well.
Then be sure to do that at your home! Since this is Holly's house, it's her design which isn't going to be everyone's but that is what I LOVE about design.
Love that you two figured it out
Thank you!
Does the new lock ever glitch
Nope.
You’ve done sooo much
Thanks!
Love the black walls - they really put the final smart finish on the whole look. Fabulous!
Appreciate that xx.
I love the glass door... sadly this invites crime... our neighbors had this beautiful window door too and their house got broken into regardless of the home security and alarms 😔😢
We live in an insanely safe neighborhood!
This is amazing!! LOVE IT Its very similar to my home-im sure you know but an fyi if you ever want a brighter bulb they make white light “edison” type bulbs 🥰
Girl, y’all killed this 🙌🏽 Callie had me dead 💀 at the end 😂
Amazing! And I loved the doggie outro
She's the best part.
Please keep in mind that ANYTHING that is connected to the WiFi is able to get hacked by anyone.
I love love love that you dive right in! #girlpower
This is AWESOME!! I love the transformation. Great work!👏
Is that your sister
Looks nice, but I'm extremely concerned about security aka someone just breaking the glass to get in. A storm door would do the same thing for getting light in too.
Gorgeous!!!!! 😍😍😍
what's that drill bit kit you're using at 4:18

🔥🔥🔥
you are amazing! you give me a lot of ideas for my future house! Most of all, I love your room makeovers.
gravel on garden beds unfortunately is really bad, ecologically speaking. Are you planning on doing the entire garden this way? That would be a bummer :(
Putting a glass door is not safety at all
Arrazou
Vcs são o tube do you
Lockly really does have some great price range
They do!
You are a lady boss!
Trying xx.
So much sleekeeeer, but yes I vote for the fence as well!!!! Sara Nena DIY
I absolutely love your fur baby. She is sooo cute and lovable!!!!
She's my favorite.
You are truly inspiring. I haven't moved into my own place quite yet. But you give me so much inspiration and excitement for the future!!!
Yay!
Now this my kind of carrying on!!! Y’all are some bosses!!! Girl Bosses!!!
I love this so much!!!! Can’t wait to buy my first house
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz love that for us lol
Me either.
It funny how keys actually are more secure than finger prints because you can recreate a Fingerprint by just having a photo
I didn't know that.
Goodness me, ever since I found you I’ve been obsessed. Love you, love your works and ofc Callie! Keep up the good work and take care of yourself !! Also in love with your playlist but I’d like to know the last song because it’s been in my head for awhile now. 😭
Thank you!
Love this but omg that background music made my ears bleed😂🙅🏼♀️
I am working on adjusting! Trying to find new music outside of what I have been using for 4 years haha lesson learned xx.
I don't owe anybody anymore because of, *p a i d t o b e h o m e .c o m*
Hehe boy
Such a weird question BUt PLEASE is there any chance you can send me a link for the rock you used over the weed preventing material?
I cannot. It's from a local nursery in Thousand Oaks.
This is amazing! Congrats on installing the door!! It looks phenomenal!
Thank you!
I'm always surprised when Rachel Metz says a DIY project is intimidating to her like she said while installing the front door. I'm intimated to paint one room in my house. She watched a youtube video and went for it! If she can do it, I can too. It's inspiring and one of the reasons I love her videos.
You got this.
Wow amazing!!! Turned out beautiful! You have inspired me to basically demo my entire house 😂
Thank you! 🥺
Previous door was beautiful,, the rest is beautifully done
Thank you!
Looks fabulous! It’s great that you bring Holly’s dream and designs to reality. Personally couldn’t do the black paint because here in the southeast the bugs would be hiding in plain sight.😳
🖤
LOVED the makeover. Hated the yodeling background music for 11 mins!🙉 Loved the baby puppy face at the end!
Awe sorry!
This looks FANTASTIC!
Thank you!
Please Rachel come over and fix my house.
Lovely!!
You make amazing makeovers 😍💖🌺💖
And the cute dog can look outside :)
Where is the accent mat from, I have been searching for one like that for months!!
Anybody else freak out when the music bounced from left to right on your headphones? 😂
The other plate is silver and not black 😤😤
Installing doors is the actually worse. Had to install an internal door so at least I could easily take a break but dear god cutting all the spots for hinges and the lock was awful.
I love the door and black paint. Not a fan of landscaping fabric in this situation for several reasons. Eventually weeds will grow with detritus that drops and works it’s way down and then you have a seed bed and/or how do you improve the soil by blocking it? Worms working the soil, eating and pooping make your plants happy.
Thanks for the feedback!
It's OK but now the zombies will get in. Smart looks are terrific but someone else Smarter can get in.🤔
🖤
I am still watching this video till end to see cali! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
🖤
Princess C is saying "Uh, Mom, aren't you forgetting something?" *I love her!*
🖤
The dogs are going to love that door when they see people passing by 😂
That dog is like ugh look at the grass. So close yet so far away. Poor poochie 😂
Haha she hates grass.
this door wont survive in zombie apocalypse
True.
There are kits for putting in new door knobs and deadbolts. They include everything you need to put new holes in your door. No measurements needed. It has a jig that does it all for you.
Thank you!
Love the bold black exterior colour. But I kinda liked the old door better. This new one seems too open for me. I guess one can’t walk naked in the house even with the door closed 😆
as mentioned in the end - there is a part two coming.
Does it bother anyone else that’s she doesn’t tape the edges before she paints? She did that on the hall way video too.
Oh this comment again haha you are more than welcome to come over and do five makeovers in one week. I always go back and touch up but sometimes with sponsors and deadlines - wavy paint lines aren't my largest concern.
About all the comments on the glass . You can always put some iron fence industrial style behind the glasd
the music is just a little loud imo
Thank you! I will adjust.
people can break into a home with and without a whole glass door, its just that anybody who passes by will see you. Also people will see the person walking by, like if u just got out the shower and your package people will see you in ure towels
We still have a part 2!
Ok, but the sassy puppy-winks though.. ❤
Love the door, a can of frosted spray paint could do the trick, maybe a small stencil detail...😉
I won't feel safe. Too much glass.
lmao Cali looks pissed
She really does.
woww the transformation is wilddddd! and your dress shirt + jean outfit is bomb!
Thank you!
She took off a beautiful door with tons of character to replace it with such a underwhelming option.
That's your opinion! The client gets what the client wants. The old door has a great new home xx.
Very impressed..My husband is a carpenter , he would rather be build a house than replace an outside door.
🖤
Another one I'm in love with Rach. That door tho does not seem "slammer" friendly lol which I like so it will teach the person closing it to be gentle. Also can I please be your assistant bc I learn by doing/practical. Xoxo from the Caribbean.
Awe thank you!
Im so confused. I know you've mentioned a break up a few times but id be nice if you adress it. (If you feel comfortable since you already mentioned it) i just find it really confusing
We broke up and I moved - very simple!
I did address it girl! Months ago with my shed shop and I don't need to share that chapter. It's my private life and it will remain that way.
I love your pup at the end 😂
She's the best.
Love your bideos
Thank you!
I'm sooo glad you didn't end up saving the old door- it was never going to fit, stylistically. The new door is sleek, modern, fabulous. Who knew so much work went into installing a door (clearly, I. rent)?! I love the black paint and the entryway plants. Can't wait for the whole outside to be transformed, and don't forget the boob light in the front hallway/door entrance:)
🖤🖤🖤
you two are such a freaking girl-power inspiration
Thank you!
GREAT JOB LADIES!
Thank you!
I like the before more...
Keep it that way at your house! I always do what the client wants.
I love how I get to see more of my fav colors with you. Instead of the regular white color( which I don’t like lol) you combine other colors which is great instead of Going for the norm of white...sooo I looove this!!
🖤
Lockly is kind of genius for folks who have ADHD and forget to lock doors or people with anxiety who keep thinking they forgot to lock the door! Or people like me who have both and are dying constantly 😭 loved this makeover!
😂😆
This was really cool. I think the old door was still nice but was too traditional for the look. The new door was a great idea and was a perfect fit for the look. Everything came together nicely.
We donated it and it has a happy home!
Like the before better 😆
Keep it that way at your house xx.
Black house? Must be nice not having an HOA
So nice.
The dog is cute
She really is.
I wonder if the black paint will make ur home hotter? More utilities!
Hmm need to look into that.
Huge kudos for going after a new skill! You guys ROCK !
🖤
That moment when I am looking at this video and telling myself, I can definitely learn how to fix up my house.
🖤
I love watching your makeovers
Why thank you!
All that glass makes it pointless to spend so much money on a high tech door lock. Whats the point really, someone can just smash the glass and bypass the safety features of the lock.
As I've said to similar comments, it's hollys house so it's her design. Don't do it to your door! Me doing a tutorial on here doesn't make it a must for other people. It's all about sharing style!
it looks great, but what about privacy?
@Living to DIY with Rachel Metz I am so proud of you, how you have been able to reinvent yourself and always find the way to do something good for the ones around you, best wishes and may God bless you. Greetings from Chile
Mention the plan at the end of the video xx.
So cute! Where are the front door mats from? Can you add links love the layered look
Always detailed in the description for you.
