Series idea when miss rona is over: Rachel traveling to different female subscribers across the world to help them finish a project that they were too scared to tackle! But making them do most of the work so that they actually learn!! I would love that so much. Anyone else?
Wonderful idea! Rachel please come through! We can learn how to DIY new window hole openings in my house together. Girl, it's so dark I feel like a vampire and not in a hot and sexy way!
That would be AWESOME!!

Absolutely love this idea!
@Living to DIY with Rachel Metz oooooo I can't wait to find out 😊😊🤗
Yes, finally a video on how to do a garage laundry area. I need this so much. Thanks for the tips and tricks.
That makes me happy! Thanks for watching xx.
Love it and very informative!! I think the marble wallpaper would be great also to cover the top surface to make it smoother for folding clothes :-)
You could get some led strip lights, or "tape" LEDs from Amazon pretty cheap to replace the florescent lights
Gorgeous!
Thank you!
I didn’t like your videos but after binge watching 25 videos I love you! You are amazing!
Do you have a new code?:(
Hi Christy. She currently has active codes for the K3 (RACH-K3) and K4 (RACH-K4) expiring 1/31/2021. Cheers!
you are such an inspiration! love it.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Her: "That what I do when I'm stressed" Me: vacuuming and thinking about making turnovers at 8pm "preach!"😄😅
I love the black cabinets for a laundry room. It looks sooo good
Rach!!! This is beautiful!! And it's in the garage - you would never know anymore! Ah, you are so good 🙌🏽
Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for pointing out the importance of finding a stud. My father and I went back and forth about hanging up shelves..... he was right 🤎🤎
I learnt a lot from this! Especially the wall studs
Yay!
Tip for cleaning out that laundry tub I learned from my former fil. Fill with hottest water. Pour in a whole bottle of Mr. Clean. Let sit for a day or two. Unplug. All the years of schmutz & stain down the drain! Sparkling & spotless. & a little story re studfinders. I've ALWAYS used a stud/pipe/electrical finder but my fiance learned the hard way after drilling from a bedroom wall STRAIGHT into the middle of the shower water pipe from the bathroom on the other side of the wall. 🌊👀😵😅
wonderful as alweys
Can u do my house when I move out lol
Grab a super strong magnet, so you don't try to drill into a dry wall screw! I'm clumsy, this happens to me often. 😣 😂😂😂
Sold. Yes, I just paused your video to order this stud finder. I cannot tell you how many times I've had to trace where the pipes are running through my house so I don't accidentally drill through something. Back to the makeover so I can be inspired for my laundry room :D
It's the best!
Cool does the zircon work over plaster? Or Lath and plaster for older homes?
Hi DupreeDotCom. Zircon stud finders with Metal Scan mode can help detect the nail heads attaching the wood lath to the studs if they are not covered with metal mesh. Hope that helps. If you have any other questions, we're here to help. Our customer service team is available toll-free at 1-800-245-9265 during normal business hours Mon - Fri, 8AM-5PM PST and via email at techsupport@zircon.com. Thanks and have a great day!
I'm going more into depth come the next video with them!
You should try SeaPaint for painting cabinets, or anything else. I painted my kitchen cabinets and only needed to clean them for prep. I painted them a rich, dark color and never had fingerprints from handling after. The paint dries so quick so you can get done with projects quicker and not lose interest (that's always my issue!).
Watching your videos gave me the courage to construct a cabinet for the first time. lol. :). And I made it!
FABULAS AS ALL WAYS......
Just saying that the shape, colour and the name of that Zircon thing is like a retro blast from the past. It doesn't seem like the latest technology at all!
Love the paint on your face, working hard!
Thank you!
I love this. I think I would have stained some of the wood for my personal preference, but i still think it looks beautiful!
@Living to DIY with Rachel Metz you’re welcome! You are very talented!
Thank you!
Anyone else check the description for the boxes above the cabinets and get disappointed?!😭😭 this came out so gorgeous though 😍
You're a DOLL for putting the chapters lol. Thank you. I love when USworldsrs do that !!!!
Glad you liked them!
I can't wait to tackle my laundry room! Amazing job girlfriend!!!
Yay!
Painting the shelves without emptying them is such a mood! I would do the exact same thing 😂
Great inspiration for my laundry room. Home depot has shIny copper contact paper roll, going to incorporate that as well in my project!
I'm tempted to do a fake backsplash in my apartment's kitchen, but it needs to be renter friendly and easily removable. 😬 I have no idea how to copy this style of backsplash.
A fan here from Philippines 🇵🇭, I always watch all your videos and even though im a full time mom I'm learning in each video.
Yay!
That looks amazing!!!!!
Thank you!
what is the name of that pocket hole jig??
Okay I love all your videos but this one is fucking dope!
Just had a random question is the home you are working on grounded as in the electrical? If not do you know any solutions. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!
That stud finder is magic! I love this transformation! I’m planning on tackling my kitchen cabinets in the coming months and watching you use the liquid sandpaper is really what made me decide to take on the project myself 😁
this laundry room is so cute
A great improvement! Thanks for sharing (AGAIN!)
Love how there is a great tool now to help find studs! Here in the UK most houses of a certain age all walls are brick so we can hang anything wherever we like (as long as you have a powerful drill!) although a lot of new build property's here now are being built with brick outer skins but all internal walls are studs Great video as always, you're really thriving! 😁
Stunning!!!
Pretty obviously a meth addict.
it looks so wonderful, so lucky to have a canvas to exercise your creativity on. For the back wall, instead of the contact paper, have you thought of using the sticky tile version (fake tiles not sure what to call them haha) and cover the whole back including the area between the sink and the storage? It will make them all come together and that wood shelf can remain the same. That way, the whole thing will come together.
@02:23 are you painting with all the stuff in place 😆😆 i love me some bravery and agility !!!
That looks beautiful always doing a good job girl
Purchased one and used the code and got the water leak alert!
Does the zircon detect those metal plates that protect studs in areas that electrical wires are?
Hi Kristina. For the SuperScan K1, in Target Control (TC) mode, it will cancel the signal so that you don't inadvertently try to drill into it. Normal StudScan mode will give you an indication but you will not know whether the object detected is wood or metal. Models SuperScan K2 and higher, you'll actually see a Metal icon (MetalliWarning indicator) as you scan over the metal protector plate. Thanks for the great question and hope that helps.
WE LOVE HER !!
hi Rachel! love your show! i just tried to apply your RACHEL K-1 coupon code to purchase the Superscan and it was considered invalid! any suggestions? thank you in advance!
Hi Brenda. If you're purchasing the K1, the code is RACHEL-K1. Let us know if that works. Thanks!
With the stud finder, what happens if you calibrate it ON a stud? I've got a different stud finder and it makes me so scared when a section of the wall beeps at me but then the next time I go over the same section it doesn't. I'm in the UK in an apartment so I don't know if the 'stud every 16 inches' thing is accurate here.
@ZirconTV thanks for your comments, that's a shame about it only being in the US for now though, it looks very good!
Hi Chloe. Sorry, forgot to note that the SuperScan series is currently only available in the U.S. Please subscribe to our mailing list at www.zircon.com to receive the latest updates. Thanks.
Hi Chloe. If you calibrate it over a stud and move away, you'll receive two arrow indicators as an indication. When you scan back in that direction, the tool should automatically recalibrate and find that stud. This is called Auto Correcting Technology.
About painting cabinets, can you skip stripping and use valspar stain blocking bonding primer/sealer? Or do you need to strip then use the binding sealer? I was told for laminate furniture it was fine but I plan on painting kitchen/bathroom cabinets and want to make sure I have everything before I start. Also which caulk do you recommend ?
Can you list your facial care routine items
Thank you so much for pointing out the importance of finding a stud. My father and I went back and forth about hanging up shelves..... he was right 🤎🤎
Yay!
I love the copper and the black. So pretty. Another fab job girl!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you!
I love the black cabinets! I am using black stick-on vinyl to turn my kitchen black - the vinyl is wipeable. I also love the "marble" splashback, the copper accents (do the hinges copper), and the wood. I'd stain and varnish the wood so it doesn't get dirty.
Love it.
I like the final result..wouldn’t change anything
You're sweet XX.
This was an awesome sponsorship and I honestly will be buying this stud finder! We close on our first house soon, so this will be perfect for all our diys!
Congratulations!
I love it! Thank you for your support!
Love it all, Earth-Friendly idea: line dry your clothes after the wash, and throw them in the dryer with a damp towel for ten minutes and it'll be like you dried them completely in the dryer. We purchased the rotating clothesline which we absolutely love and even bring it inside by weighing it down in a base.
Thank you!
Agghhhh I wish I had the money to decorate my room 😭😭😭 I have a great idea on how I want my room
@Living to DIY with Rachel Metz thank you!! But I have social anxiety and it’s hard for me to get a job, so it’s gonna make it 10x harder 😔😔
Start wherever you can.
Your teeth look SO GOOD!! They’ve always been beautiful, but damn!!
Thank you!
I'm going home soon after 7 months with my Mom. I bought all the stuff for my new laundry room shelves but then Covid happened and I bailed to make sure my Mom was safe. This is one of the first things I'll do when I get home. Thanks Rachel!!
🖤
was it just me or was there like 10 ads for this video?? i thought if the video was sponsored there would be less ads...
I don't manually put them in like some USworldsrs. I have it on automatic ads so it's whatever youtube wants 🙃
It looks 100% better. Do you know if the SuperScan K1 finds pipes and electrical stuff behind concrete too?
Hi Niva80. Great question. The SuperScan K1 isn't the most ideal tool to find pipes and electrical behind concrete. Works great on drywall though. :)
I need to ask!
You are so pretty... 😭😍
Well, since you asked... I would build a Plinth to put the Washer and Dryer on, to raise them up... a) because they're both front-loaders and it would make it much easier to load and unload... b) you could hide the plumbing and still have a folding station on top if you didn't want to have that little back shelf... c) if you built it right the plinth could have deep drawers in it for storing things that are seasonal like garden hoses and lawn sprinklers etc. You know, stuff you don't want out in winter because it's just unsightly, bulky and in the way... However, said stuff is still needed if you don't want to cart myriad buckets of water out to water plants and lawns etc. Speaking of nasty grotty tops of cabinets, my mum taught me to make sure the top is Seriously Clean, then line the whole thing with waxed paper. That way, when it comes time to clean it up again, it's sooo much easier to remove the paper, clean the cabinet top and then put new paper down. As a renter I have found it invaluable for move-out cleans and while most of my family has their own houses, they still do it because it makes Deep Cleanings so very much easier. By the way I truly love your channel, you are a strong take charge kind of woman, who is not afraid to step out and get her feet wet in something unknown. That kind of inspiration is absolutely priceless, especially because you show everything within reasonable boundaries, warts and all.

I pity Americans for having to deal with studs when drilling holes in their walls... it's just so much easier in Germany, I never have to worry about proper hole placement.
They don’t ship to the UK 😩😩😩
Hi Joe1een. We're so sorry! Yes, currently, the SuperScan series is only available in the U.S. Please subscribe to our mailing list at www.zircon.com to receive the latest updates. Thanks and have a great day.
I have a laundry room between garage and kitchen. Above the w/d is a shelf and a window. Any suggestions?
I would have to see it.
Girl, that is a masterpiece for a garage laundry room, now you need to give similar makeover for garage as well🤪
For sure!
Usually I would love a marble touch but in this case it's not my favorite. Everything else looks fantastic 👌🏻
Fair enough!
Rachel Metz I love your videos!!! But why you half assing it? “I still need to paint this wall” “I still need to fix this”
@Living to DIY with Rachel Metz Yikes, No need to get snappy! My comment was mostly a teasing joke with a hint of honesty. And you're the one who chose to reply to my comment. But I do love your videos- keep up the good work!
This was filmed months ago right when I was moving my life of 7 years and going through my break up. I hope you execute everything perfectly when you're going through a huge heartbreaking life chapter but I wasn't able to do so. To go into further detail, this had to be submitted months ago and I wasn't able to add the final touches due to it being in the process of being approved. Thanks for taking the time to call this out and have me explain something I shouldn't have to!
Wow, what a great selling feature 👍🏼
So cute!! Those floating shelves are yet another reason I definitely need a kreg jig!
Right?!
Love, love, LOVE this!!!
Thank you!
CRUSHED it!!! 🖤
Thank you!
Do you have any info as to how Zircon handles with plaster walls? By the way, loved the video! Looks amazing!
Hi Holly. Zircon stud finders with Metal Scan mode can detect the nail heads attaching the wood lath to the studs. However, a dedicated metal finder, like the Zircon MetalliScanner m40, is the most ideal for findings studs in lath and plaster construction (without metal mesh). Hope this helps.
I need to do my research!
Love how this turned out!! I really want to chic up my tiny little laundry area in my apt! This is so inspiring! Love you Rachel! ❤️ you make me feel empowered!
Thanks for watching!
Can i plz ask u something, i am trying to repaint my kitchen cabinets but they are MDF and I don’t know how to prepare them and what paint type do i use and last what do i use on top of the paint to protect the paint as the kitchen is where we all stay most of the day (very high traffic) i clean it twice a day 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇 thank u
I don't have a video on that because I haven't done it. I would turn to this lovely USworlds community here and search that in the search bar!
You won't have an issue with cabinets looking dirty and having fingerprints on them if you use a semigloss enamel paint. I know the matte look is popular but it is not practical outside of a picture or video..
What Holly wants, Holly gets (home owner's rules) but thank you for that feedback! I do agree xx.
I don't think I would want to move after all these personalized details, but if she does move you have increased the value of this house by 1000%!
Appreciate that xx.
Chh
i think the shelf between the top cabinets should be black to look cohesive and blend in but i love it
I wanted to do that but love the natural wood - be sure to do that in your house!
I love this you are amazing!!!!
Thank you!
....did I miss something? Rachel, you know that half the electric socket in the wall is covered up by your shelf-thingy? Maybe I missed an explanation somewhere.
haha you guys are cute! I looks like it is from the way I shot it but I have full access and use both plugs daily.
She looks like Eva Mendes...
Thank you?
i binge watch videos like this everyday, but none of them are as satisfying as yours, you are so incredible and I am so happy to see that nothing stopped you from doing what you love!
Thank you so much!!
i'm gonna move soon, so these videos are really inspiring :)
You got this!
This video was amazing! And suuuuper helpful with the stud finding! Honestly lovinggggg for these videos! Can you also do one explaining how to drill into a concrete/load bearing wall! (And if you even should)
@Living to DIY with Rachel Metz ahhh thats fine! Still so excited for more videos and tutorials from you! 💕☺️
I don't have a concrete wall so I wouldn't be able to do so!
I needed this in my life. Rachel can add mind reader to her resume. How did you know that not only am I tackling my laundry room next week (after I complete this week’s kitchen makeover), and that I was slowly beginning to hate all stud finders due to their deceitful nature? Thanks! You are truly a Queen! 👑
Ah thank you!
Woah, what can we call organizing when we are stressed? I call it binge cleaning and prefer to binge clean when no one is awake 😝
Haha
Love the way it looks. So much more inviting and makes doing the laundry more appealing. My only criticism is that even though you said you made it easy to get to the faucets and pipes, it actually would take some doing. There are times (not that infrequent) when you need to turn off the water going to the washing machine and it would be a hassle to do it with this setup - also something you couldn’t do quickly if there was need to switch off the water right away.
Thanks for the feedback!
I’VE LITERALLY BEEN LOOKING FOR A GOOD STUD FINDER NOW THAT WE’RE DOING A HOUSE MAKEOVER!!! IT’S LIKE YOU KNOW
YAY!
Another video! I feel like I'm being spoiled ❤️ love from Cape Town 🇿🇦
Yay! Thank you!
OMG sold! Just got jerked around by my old finder...now OCD patching the false positive holes...
@Living to DIY with Rachel Metz Literally finished payment before the video ended :D
You have to get one of these!
your videos are single handedly keeping me calm before election day
Wow thanks Olivia.
I do enjoy all the videos, but, I hope you are taking time for yourself. I know I overwork myself when Im dealing with difficult things x
Thanks Paige!
i would have a larger drying place for things that can't go in the dryer
