Ok hi - who wants their bathroom redone? After making over multiple bathrooms this year; I wanted to challenge myself to do things in a bathroom I have NEVER done before. As I say in this video and a million times throughout my channel, I am not a professional carpenter or woodworker. My channel is all about bringing you alongside with me as I pick up new tools, tricks, tips and trades. I hope one of you walks away feeling inspired to tackle a part of one of your bathrooms you aren’t the biggest fan of. Thank you Truman's for inspiring me to tackle this bathroom finally! What was your favorite part? What would you do different? Don’t forget sharing is caring so comment down below! Stay rad xx.

OKAY HI! I can breathe after doing nothing but this bathroom for 8 days straight. Couple of notes after realizing I didn't mention somethings in the video. I didn't show updating the faucet because I caused not only the sink to spring a leak but somehow in the two pipes of the bidet as well. That's why it looks like my toilet is plugged in towards the end. As far as the window treatment I haven't decided on but I'm thinking a natural rolling wood tone bamboo type of deal - what are you thoughts!? If you guys have tips on sealant for concrete and tile, please let me know as I don't want for all this hard work to be for nothing! Ah hope you take away some bit of inspiration from this xx.
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz it’s a big job!!! Feel you with projects. I’ve been thinking of doing a concrete countertop too.
I have been looking to paint my ugly 70's beige and teal shower/ tub and tile floors forever and this is beyind perfect! Thank youuuuuu ❤
i can imagine the paint on the floor cracking already!!
Would love if you could do an I depth tutorial on a concrete counter top!
Thanks for showing us your process. I prefer that to see what really happens broken mirror and all lol. Ps recently found your channel and I absolutely love your content. ❤
I am legit speechless with this makeover. You are in iconic crafty queen!!! So much inspiration in this video.
Thank you for my thumbnail! That's what truly made it xx.
This Rad woman needs her own series already!
It won’t last. Lol.

Stop lying in 2020 ok 👍🏽 lol
I kinda like the floor despite Rachel's complaints 😂 had a really rustic,custom handmade feel to it..
I agree! Even though the lines are wobbly up close, they don't look like that from the far shots (like she said), but it gives it such a nice, homey feel that I think fits really well with the aesthetic of the room. The whole makeover is amazing!
Thank you guys! I think my eyes were just about to pop out of my head so I was OVER it when voicing it over as well. I am leaving the imperfections and sealing her up!
The floor turned out well. Hand painted tiles are rustic and individual, so your floor fits right in. Great job love the end product.
Thank you very much!
I would put a texturized epoxy over it to seal it completely. The poly will wear down. She can pit clean sand for a grip texture in a strong epoxy.

The stripping of that paint was SO Satisfying 😬😃
Right?
My SO is overseas currently and there are SO many little ideas that I have for our house to work on while he’s gone. Today’s project is painting two dressers/organizers that we have in our room to match our bed and desk. I’m so glad I found your channel, i love your diys!!
Ah that sounds like so much fun xx.
It turned out amazing!🙌🏼 hahah I love the honesty when stenciling! You did so much work!
Thank you Kristen!
Stencils require a stencil brush. It would not be nearly as difficult.
Rachel, once I saw your videos, I have been telling everyone that you have the most creative mind.....ever! Keep showing us how to do it! I'm going to tackle my laminate countertops and make them look like granite or marble.....so I am consulting all your videos for how-tos and WHAT to BUY and USE for success! Thank you, Rachel!
Frankly, what I found most helpful is that you talked me OUT OF stenciling my floor, haha! LOVE the finish of your vanity!
Haha thank you for watching!
“I am so proud of myself, but I’m also just going to go sleep for a week” 😂.
I felt that. Well done on yet another inspirational DIY project. Go sleep now - you deserve it!
Thank you so much!
First video I've ever watched from you. Absolutely amazing! You encouraged and inspired me. My family just moved into a home after being homeless for about 5 months and the home we moved into is old and sorta awkward. We are thankful and looking forward to adding our personal diy touches to it. Your video reminded me that I CAN do stuff with my home, for my family. Just I thank God for your video and inspiration this morning. Def suscribed!! Thank you!
It turned out beautifully. I especially like the fresh look of the shower/tub, the vanity top and cabinet, and the recessed cabinet. Liked the look of the chalk paint on the floor as well, although the stenciling looks nice. The decor tops it off. Thanks for being so honest about the process, & reminding everyone to research, seal, and protect.
Really appreciate you watching xx.
That tub skirt is Everything! And the floor looks like the super expensive hand-painted concrete tile! That's what I want to do in my laundry room. Thanks for the inspo and fantastic job!
Hi Rachel I am from New Zealand and Ive watching all your projects. I have just brought a 1980s house and have to redo the batrhroom (Yikes!!) and normally I would freak out at the thought of doing it myself. But your honesty and journalling your experiencs via media, has motivated me more to "figure it out and learn as you go along" and the courage to reno my bathroom, thank you so much
Thank you so much for this! We may not do it perfect but how do we learn if we do not try?
I love your “imperfect” floor!!! When you buy these handmade artisan tiles or ones that are antiques, they will have those “imperfect” features!!! Beautiful job!
Thank you for the love xx.
Love all but the wonky floor. The concrete is amazing! then the natural elements are KEY to pull it all together. Bravo!
This turned out so good 💐 but damn, when you started taking the tiles off and prepping, my anxiety went through the roof 😅 I know that feeling of “it’s off now, you better finish”.
Haha exactly. I was like welp shit I did one...no turning back and it really does look so cute.
Amazing job. A little advice that helped me in the past working with different tones of paint, try first passing a little coat of the background paint first across all the edges and then paint with the new color on top of that, that way you'll avoid for the new paint going out and ruining all your edges.
Thank you so much for this video! The before looks a lot like my parents bathroom. Eventually I'm going to move back in with them to take care of them and look after the house and one of my future goals is to redo the whole house but especially the bathrooms and I didnt know how to work with a small, boring and dated looking bathroom. Ours is so dated even though the house was built in 2006. And this works perfectly!
That makes me so happy! Thank you for watching and can't wait to see what you do.
I love the vanity. The wood-tone came out beautiful.! No problem with the floor to me. Black and white are my favorite colors.
I am really obsessed with the outcome.
My bathroom is the exact same layout. I'm inspire to have someone else do this for me lol! How do you so this!! Amazing!!
Thank you so much!!
So is my mine. I have been wanting to make changes, but I never thought of doing it myself. She is very good.
wuestio mark???/ how don dis is ripe...!!!!@@@@##$$$
Lmao to have someone else do it for you😂😂
I also did a stencil in a small bathroom. It is tedious and back breaking work. But worth it in the end. The key is to put next to nothing paint on the stencil. Some people recommend a sponge but for me a small brush in stifling or tapping motions was the best. If you make a mistake you can always quickly wipe the paint away. Sand and repaint the tile with the base color to start over again.
When you started talking about the floor DIY it was so hilarious 😂😂😂, love your videos❤
Haha 😂
Your makeover is absolutely AMAZING! I love every nook and cranny. Sleek, modern and "guy" friendly.
Thank you!
Favorite part is how transformed the shower was with the skirt and dark trim. It looks so nice and makes me want to try a skirt on mine. How do you prevent water damage?
Sealant is key! And ensuring to caulk appropriately. The reason I tested this out in this bathroom is because of the fact Paul doesn't use it regularly besides to poop haha. I am going to keep you guys updated on how it is when the weather starts to change as well.
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz yesssss a short update video on diys that didn’t work out in the long run and ones that did would be so awesome!
Clear matte boat varnish works great. And is v v cheap.
Gosh…that was a lot of work! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The concrete over tile was genius and looked so unique. Bless your heart, the stencils tried to break you, but you are not a quitter. If they were too perfect, it would have looked boring. Thanks for sharing!
This is amazing! I love the repurposed medicine cabinet. We have one that I was going to just remove and add Sheetrock but your idea is so much better and adds storage. I really love the tub skirt too.! This was amazing. I’m definitely subscribing!!
That was a lot of work! Result is worth it though. Kuddos!
Thank you!
Suggestion I have seen with stencils, use a temporary glue like Elmer’s stick glue or a spray tacky glue and use it every time before place your stencil and then painting, it helps keep the edges more clean and crisp! Or purchase a sticky stencil to begin with!❤️
Oh thank you for this!
New subscriber here! I have been looking for just straight-up budget home makeovers (a la Lone Fox), but by a woman who just gets straight to the point. No long intros or hyper, ingratiating tone.
Thank you! You're awesome
Thank you for always showing how it goes for real. The overall result is GORGEOUS! Definitely going to keeps a couple of DIYs in mind for the future :) (love that tub cover!)
Thank you so much! Everyone makes it look so easy haha.
Thank you, Rachel!!!! I've been thinking about painting the tile in my kitchen and dining room. Thanks for saving me the aggravation and headache. You keep it real about the diys. That's what made me subscribe.
Thank you so much!
Currently sitting in a parking lot filling in applications waiting for my sister to get out of an interview and you have saved me from boredom yay! 🙌🤘❤
Ah! Yay!
Pounce with a sponge or nearly dry brush for your stencil maybe. A roller would push the paint under the stencil. That vanity!!! That is amazing! As always, epic!
Thank you so much for that tip and the love!
When stenciling, you need a stencil brush and you must offload your paint to avoid the issues you had.
Also it might be a problem that the tiles themselves are very irregulary textured to mimic natural stone.
I agree! I think the texture tiled is not ideal for this.
I agree....even with the texture on the tile surface, the stencil brush would have done a much better job.
Yes! And dabbing with a lightly wet brush helps so much. Rolling gets paint under the stencil.
The bathroom looks so nice. Lucky hubby!
Thank you for those tips
Excellent amazing job! My husband is super impressed as well! You have inspired us for bed thank you for being you! Stay safe
Wow that makes me happy!
Amazing. I am a woman who has never attempted any of this. You are the greatest. 😍
Thank you!
This video was a lovely thing to behold. Found it at 5 AM; it was so good, I watched the entire thing, subscribed & subscribed to Truman's, upgraded my painting supplies on Amazon, and fell in love with Rachel's style and new bath. Thanks!!!!!
Thank you so so so so much! You are way too kind.
Would have loved to see if the toilet stains were removed. Besides that everything looks great.
I can't believe I didn't show it - you'll be seeing updates in my YT stories.
Beautiful, I think the slight imperfections make it perfect. Three Thumbs Up!!!
Appreciate that Susan xx.
THIS IS THE BEST MAKEOVER I’VE EVER SEEN!
Thanks love!
Does this mean it's also the only one you've seen? I mean in all seriousness, the finish not just the tiles but especially the tiles - horrendous!
Hi! I’ve never seen one of your videos before... but now... I’M OBSESSED! You did SO GOOD!!!! I’m overwhelmed by the woodwork but the rest... well, you made me feel completely capable. Thank you!!!!!!!! ❤️
The floors came out amazing!! And of course with the black and white theme it came out great! You're truly a diy inspiration queen Rachel 🖤
Absolutely! You are really brave trying some of the extreme methods you did, but that in and of itself was inspirational. Great job. Love your energy and lack of tolerance for the mundane.
Thanks!
Everything is so beautiful, but I must confess that I loved the floor before the stenciling. Not bad at all, just thought that the black floor was so chic 💜💜
Tina Fox my thoughts exactly!
I love them before the stencil too! Thank goodness I can sand it down and paint right over.
oh man, that tub skirt plus the tub & tile paint just really brought the whole bathroom up a notch! our bathroom is roughly this size so i think i might try those DIYs, although every wall is tiled so the thought of painting the whole room is just a tad daunting. i really loved this video, rachel! it's super helpful to see how practical some of these DIYs actually are.
Thank you so much for the love!
You’re so creative Rachel and I’m always impressed 😊
Thank you very much xx.
Ohhhh WOW.....that turned out so good!!!! The way you styled it is so sleek too!!! Bravo!!!!
I appreciate that xx.
I would be interested to see how well all these changes weather with usage
I'll keep you updated!
Living to DIY with Rachel Metz yes, an update would be wonderful. I’m very interested in how the backsplash, the tile wall/ bathtub and the tile floor held up. Please let us know.
Can you let us know how the tile paint held up? Would you recommend it or not?
Are there any updates with this remodel? Interested in how the countertop held up.
Ok I don’t know you at all, that’s the first video of yours I watch but I’m soooo proud of you!!! I can’t believe you did all that by yourself!! It’s designed tastefully and executed clean and precise. I watch a lot of those videos and most of them are a joke, this is a gem!! I’ve done a bathroom makeover similar to this in the first apartment I got when I moved to LA it was old and dirty and I made it into a Airbnb guest bathroom. Repainting the shower and the metals was a nightmare. The bathtub skirt wouldn’t stick no matter what I used to glue it. I managed to finish it beautifully with a lot of help from my bf. But that was work. It took days. So I know the struggle. I’m so admirative. Really looking forward to learn and do as much as I can by myself whenever I’ll be lucky enough to become a home owner. If your goal was to inspire it’s definitely a success. I hope he enjoys his bathroom everyday. 💖✨🌸
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.
You absolutely killed it in 8 days! Your a beast!!!! Everything you’ve done here just looks amazing 😉 ✨👌🏼✨ love the black, white and wood details!!! 🔥
Love you girl 💋.
Turned out awesome!!! Personally I liked the floor better without the stencil. But all n all it looks amazing!!! GREAT JOB!!!
The stencil looks SO COOL! but I cried a little for you. 😂😂😂
Haha
I think this was a perfect update for a lesser used bathroom! If you can put 500 bucks into a bathroom and it looks decent for 5 years or until you can demo that is a great trade off and no lie this looks really great. You did a great job! Just subscribed for the simple reason that you worked this!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that xx.
I've always struggled with stencils too! Glad I'm not the only one!
Everyone makes it look so easy!
No lie, I LOVE this bathroom. I love how you used what u had. Not having to take out the old vanity to make a concrete countertop has inspired me to redo my guest bathroom. AMAZING.
Really appreciate that Tammy - thank you so much!
When is your daughter's room makeover coming rachel? I am so excited for it
Two weeks! Been waiting for furniture that got cancelled on my twice for no reason - rude.
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz alright. I can't wait.. your room makeovers are just amazing
The floor is FABULOUS!!!! Concrete sink was so brave♡ Yay you!
Thanks for the love!
Your bathroom looks amazing😍, I am actually in love, this is amazing hahahaha
I love diys but this is next level
Amazing job!!!
It was a learning experience for sure! Can't wait to get better and better whilst learning through my beginning DIY phase.
Best thing, by FAR, is that countertop. AWESOME
Thank you so much Erica!
I had a heart attack when you said "hey rachel" because that's my name
Haha
It’s beautiful! I like how you combined dark hardware, wood and concrete. And the the light fixture reminds me of a huge Cognac glass gives it a nice masculine feel
Thank you!
I was ready for the sign to say
“He poops
He scores”
That's a good one too!
😁😁😁
@@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz where'd you get the sign from?
I like what you do with bathrooms you make them bright and cozy.
I loved this. HGTV give her a Show Already
Awe thank you!
you go girl!!! wow! what a transformation! I really like the black and the white. I don't think that I would have gotten that busy of a pattern for the floor, but ehh! you make things look so easy! you know... you are always going to have hiccups! and the bamboo roll up for the window sounds great! I haven't looked at the hg one yet, may have to do that! love you gurl!
Thank you so much!
Every time I start a project, I'm excited. But, soon after I'm thinking "why am I doing this"?!
Same, every damn time.
I have a similar bathroom and all I've done to it was install new hardware, new toilet, and removed some resilient wallpaper by siblings installed. The vanity was painted a questionable olive green and I've been thinking on what to do to it to match my mint walls. I've usually seen the orange stripper on furniture, but its encouraging to see it applied on a cabinet. I'm gonna have to do that too and see what the wood looks like underneath! Amazing makeover and great information and inspiration!
I wish you luck on your transformation and can't wait to see what you do!
None of that shit is gonna last your gonna be redoing that bathroom in 2 years.
We shall see! Check back xx.
It's a good stop-gap solution until they can save up enough to redo the bathroom entirely, and it really did brighten the whole place up!
Right! This should be called the adhesive and paint diy. Tile is pretty cheap and easy. Shower, floor, and backlash would last so much longer if done right.
ummmmmmm bad words much!!! keep this content clean it aint uranus!!!1
Helpful hint on the floor stencil. Buy 2 stencils, start in different areas, place first stencil, after rolling on paint, take some of the paint off by rolling on a paper plate, paint the stencil and leave it there. Repeat the process with the second stencil, by then the first stencil should be dry, when you remove there won’t be any splatter into the black.
I love watching people lose equity on their houses... 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Taking off real tile and replacing it with fake plastic tile.....
Trust you and me I would never sell it like this but I call this my learning year - I execute DIY's that I've been wanting to learn to work my way up to demo and reno that you see everyone else here on RUclips just know how to do first go. This year it was all about doable room makeovers. Next year - it's gutting and transforming our entire home. Starting with retiling our entire downstairs so hopefully you stick around but if not - just know I execute these projects as I am actually learning.
Literally this video is a step by step for what I plan for my bathroom. Concrete counter, new white yup by refinishing and repainting the walls white. 🙏
Oh yay! Good luck!
Wow I am so lost for words of how efficient and beautiful your craftsmanship and attention to details.The concrete sink was so amazing👍Thank you for sharing your inspirational videos
Thank you so much!
Great job Rachel. Love that you painted the metal around the shower/tub black. Wow. I hear ya on the stencil part......I don't have good luck with stenciling myself. Love the pattern though. Always inspired by your projects.
Thank you for watching!
I painted my kitchen floors the same way. It is tedious work. But the results are so worth it. You’re a looks great. Who cares if it’s not perfect? I personally love the look of it. Great job!
Thank you!
I def want to add a tub skirt to my master bath and two separate mirrors instead of one huge 8 ft mirror. I also love the shower doors!
Thank you!
Sis I’ve always wanted a black shower , I was planning on buy a new black shower door, but spray painting it black is a GENIUS IDEA!!!💖💖💖💖💖
And if it scratches, we live and learn but at least we tried before spending $300 on a new one not including demo and reno.
Rachel, this video is so great! The idea for that bathroom counter i cant even begin to thank u!! Im renovationg a bathroom right now myself and just did not want the headache of tearing out the old ugly tile counter & honestly didnt want to take on the possibility of replacing sheetrock right now bcuz i hate it lol. I was racking my brain for ideas. The concrete countertop is absolutely fabulous and updated! I guess im okay w/that mess lol haha!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and show some love xx.
Make her an offer HGTV or?!!
It looks a gazillion times better than what it was before! Great hard work!!!
Thank you!
Not feeling the peel & stick subway tile, but the black bin on the back of the toilet was to die for. Also loved the way built-in shelves turned out... top drawer.
Absolutely amazing, I like how confident you are by setting your self a task sticking by it and accomplishing it, for a DIY it doesn’t have to be perfect if your happy with your own out come but you have made that look very good well done!!!!
Thank you!
O......M........G........YOU are my new Hero. I want 1/2 your energy and all of your ideas! You’re fabulous and I’m gobsmacked just watching you! Ahhhhhmaaaaazzziing!
Thank you so much for this! Made my day xx.
‘‘Tis the truth doll! Ahhhh maaaazzz innnggg!
Incredible work! Our condo came with ugly beige tiles in the shower, didn't realize you can paint them! Totally inspired! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Just a tip to maybe help save tears in the future with stencil edge touch up issues...use a putty knife or plastic ruler (anything straight and hard you can wipe off easily and repeatedly). After stenciling dries lay that straight hard edge over the side to protect (in this case the white painted edge) while using the straight edge to perfect your touch up (in this case the black touch ups being done). You get great lines in the touch up and it is much, much faster because you do not have to be so careful trying to steady your hand and lines. Hope that helps somewhere, you can actually use it in many things. Someone may have already mentioned it somewhere, I saw there are over a thousand comments but I wanted to mention it just in case. Great makeover!!! Do you happen to have any where you did a small crowded bathroom and converted a sink/cabinet in the corner to sit in the corner at an angle? I'm wanting to do this but need some inspiration...😂
I have always had a problem with stripping paint that I have had to use a paint stripping gun ( heat gun) but that too takes soo much time! it's so frustrating, not only that why so many haters! my goodness, don't these people know how much work goes into this!
This is my favorite bathroom makeup I’ve ever seen on RUclips. I’m so impressed!
Thank you!
I always take notes when I watch your vids. You actually gave me a lot of ideas for coping with my craptastic shower .
Oh yay!
Just a little top you can use post it notes to get the lines on the stencil really crisp and sharp! Yeah or you can make a template out of a melamine file for each little designs or just use painter's tape. I like the post it notes cause you just stick it on paint RIP off and use a. ee one each time! Painters tape takes more time but works just the same!..I love your channel! I'm subscribed!
I know you were looking for a cheaper alternative, but I would've bought black white patterned floor tile and real subway tile backsplash. For that small space you can get a deal. Love all your videos, so much fun to watch!😁
Thank you!
Omg. Great job. U pit so much tedious work into it. Yes the stencil looks amazing.
You are so good at this! Love seeing woman doing this kind of stuff
I appreciate you watching!
You did a hell of a job. It's so pretty. Gives me ideas to redo mine. Its literally about the same size and I've already considered updating the hardware. & repainting the vanity.
Thank you so much!
Really cool video. I like the fact that you are very technical. This video gave more ideas to update my main bathroom. Love it!
🖤
One of the best diy room makeovers I’ve ever seen! (And I’ve seen a ton!)
Very nice. Clearly you have great patience. Still noodling the floor stencil but love the concrete and built in shelf
Thank you!
DIY = TRIAL + ERROR = SUCCESS 👍🏻👍🏻 GREAT JOB 💖💖💖💖💖 GORGEOUS 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
I am currently working on redoing my half bath. I have zero experience but so far so good. I put vinyl tiles on the wall, changed the light fixture (did the electric myself!) Put up a new mirror, paint the baseboard heater, now onto the new porcelain tile floor today. Still so much to do! Ugh!
Can't wait to see what you do!
wow this is AMAZING! the concrete sink is my favorite! its so s creative! you did such a great job. also love the sticker tile effect and painting the tiles. did not know you could do that!
Thank you so much for the love!
I have been obsessively watching all of your makeovers for days!!! Totally inspiring! How has this bathroom held up over that the last few months?? IF the hubby is down, I'd love to tackle the concrete counter-tops!
It's doing incredible! I wouldn't recommend the tile paint.
Wow what a lot of work! Looks absolutely gorgeous!!
Thank you!
