Painting a Victorian Wall Mural *because why not*
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 02. 2021
- Hiiii! So something I've been in love with ever since I was little is the idea of transforming a space by painting, sortof like a theater set? SO. After seeing some inspiration online, I decided to FINALLY just do it. I took some leftover wall paint, chose a wall in my bedroom to attempt a Victorian-esque mural so I can feel like I'm... sleeping in the forest? Also answered some questions... I dunno.
ENJOY!

Hi!!! Subtitles will be up soon and I'll edit them tomorrow! Also sorry if you were one of the first ones to click in and there were like a BAJILLION ad breaks, I forgot to go in and delete most of them. OK I LOVE YOU BYE
Hi Rachel I just bought a sewing machine because your videos are so inspirational uwu please give me some guidance because I trust your words. Please take care and stay safe I love you so much~ you're an amazing hooman bean uwu
please, watch "I Married a Witch" (1942) and "Bell, Book and Candle" (1958), if you already have not.
both have been stated to be inspirations for the tv sitcom "Bewitched" (1964 - 1972).
you do not need to make a video on either. i'm just saying that they're fun movies, and that you might enjoy them.
thank you.
👍👍👍
Love u too 🥺👉👈
I appreciate the subtitles as I do have auditory processing issues and often watch videos three or four times to make sure I have heard everything and your videos are super comforting.
Didnt get to send in a question but i would have asked what your favourite scooby doo meme is
"Stop eyeing the walls, this apartment is a rental" - my partner while I was watching this video XD
Just paint everything white again when you leave? And ask the next renter if they like anything enough to keep it.
@@Smarddy I also happen to have a disorder called "never finishing big projects" and my partner knows that, so that might have something to do with it to ;P
I feel that. I've been trying to figure out creative ways to make our apartment walls look less boring since I can't paint them.
Target and Lowes have some that are like wall-paper like wall clings, but can be easily removed. A maintenance guy thought our brick wall was real.
Paint it on drop cloth. Hang it up, then later you can take it with you!😀
girl is there anything you cannot do ??
She went to artschool,we cant do math
"Fly!"
Right? If I paid someone good money to do this in my home I’d be 110% pleased with this. She’s a pro.
Oh yeah, She can't fly,..! Lol,..!

Re: wigs - my dance teacher had the best response when a small child said "hey! That's not your hair!" (upon seeing her in a wig for the first time). She replied "Is so! I bought it, so it's mine!"
she's basically female bob ross: calming, quiet voice, lots of happy trees, beautiful amazing person
She's honestly more Bill Alexander. Chaotic ball of uncoordinated energy that's also somehow super relaxing.
Rachel: I'm cooking beef stew and baking bread simultaneously
Me: just like a true hobbit would
Don’t forget also painting a mural on her wall, all at the same time.
Honestly straight facts
While shooting a video .. ✨ multi-tasking✨
And fermenting cheese, and brewing wine...
Anyone: *opens paint cans over a rug*
me: *anxiety level +10000*
Yes, Step 1 should have been "Put down the drop cloth!"
Omg yes! Both my partner and I were screaming at her to clear the room and put down a drop cloth!
My partner looked at me so strange because I was yelling at my phone to put down drop cloths and move things lol. Such a nice rug!
My first thought was this! Plastic and a drop cloth would be the first things down.
Also, every time she whipped back and forth and I was sure she was going to get paint in her hair!
"Adulthood rocks - you can eat cereal whenever you want AND you can paint your walls!" - Rachel
I dont think anyone has ever sold me on the idea of adulthood before now, bravo
Saying “Thanks, it’s not mine!” has become my stock response to people complimenting my wigs! It always throws them off guard and most times gets a laugh out of them too.
I say that too lol. Makes me chuckle
Scary Lowe’s paint person here, we sell “sample” sizes that are half pints for $4
You should not have given me this information. I am now dangerously armed with ideas for wall murals AND justification... and I live in an apartment 😭😭😭
@@myiamurphy8949 you can always repaint when you move!!!
@@myiamurphy8949 should probably match the original wall colors before you do the mural so that you can have the paint recorded and go through less stress if the landlord has a thing about the paint color(and a lot less stress trying to find the paint)
My lowes paint brother in arms. Do you guys also only have samples in satin? 😭
@@MadnessMantra yup. It very much confuses people.
Watching this with my 3 year old and she very seriously says, as you paint, “Her dad is gonna be very mad.” 😂
Hahaha 😄
"That's why adulting rocks"
Funny story: I kept drawing on walls as a kid, so my mom made a whole half wall into a chalkboard (wasn't a thing yet back then) in the hallway to contain my artistry without completely banning it. It worked at home but I also don't have that ''don't draw on the walls'' gut feeling because of it so I don't behave very carefully with walls 😅
@@ragdollrose2687 I loved it when my kids drew on the walls, best decoration ever. ( ◜‿◝ )♡
That is so cute! I actually out loud went "Awwww!" ♥️
*watches her put paint cans on a lovely rug without putting something underneath* AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
Yeah, me too. That beautiful carpet... :\
Top 10 moments before disaster
Rachel thrives on Chaos.
*nervewracking*
Rachel: *doesn't take down the shelf or curtains to draw her design on the wall*
Me: *anxiety has entered the chat*
Rachel: *doesn't cover the bed or move the nightstand to prevent splatters*
Me: *anxiety intensifies*
Rachel: *brings in paint and doesn't cover the rug or baseboard with a drop cloth and doesn't take off the outlet cover*
Me: *sweating profusely and screaming internally*
Rachel: *proceeds to paint without taping anything off*
Me: *meltdown screaming and running in circles in panic*
but she was painting with artist's brushes, not splattering about like when a wall is normally painted with a roller, or a large brush.
she is an artist with fine motor skills. think of the wall as a canvas and start breathing again.
its ok : )
Me too! But once I calmed down a sec, it was so freeing to remember what it’s like to just create and not listen to all those critical “You must do it like this” voices! Woohoo, let’s paint!
I thought about that too, maybe because I focus too much about unstraigt thing (if it means something) like it has to be cleaned but yeah it is still relaxing asf**k
Omg stop over thinking everything!! LOL 😂 I do the same thing & then over obsessing every detail. If I do that and usually do it's never gets done. It might be a good idea to take an art class it's usually relaxing and brings out your creativity. I took my 1st drawing class, I loved it!!. #Relax #Breathe #Create
You don't need to taping off if you have a steady enough hand.
Me: *glances at my blank wall*
My wall: oh no, don’t you even think about it. No. NO! NOOOOOO!!!!!
Haha same!
We are looking into building a house. I have some 70's-does-Victorian furniture & have thought about doing this in our living room or sewing room (can't right bow since we're renting. But one of our house designs is a scaled down Victorian style).
HEHEHEH DO IT
Dew it
Lmao SAMEEEEEE
Painting your walls on a whim is bold. But put paint cans directly on a nice carpet is on a whole other level of fearlessness
Exactly! I saw that paint on her rug and flipped, that would definitely be a ruined rug if it was me painting!
That gave me so much anxiety lol
As is painting in beautiful handmade linen Son de Flor pants -- we can not all be so fearless.
I'm struggling with depression and your videos of you chatting away and sewing (or today, painting) has been a very soothing escape, but also motivate me to pursue interests and activities that depression keeps me from. Thank youuu
I'm also depressed and I found a cool song that really helps me. It's called My Arms by Ledger
@@zoe_dawg I missed this a month ago but I'm gonna go give it a listen now. Thank you and I hope you are feeling better!
Me too, Marisadaniela6 - there's a lot of us out there, unfortunately. Rachel, thank goodness for your cheerful and charming demeanor, you're so fun to watch and I feel much better after spending time with you! Thank you!
I paint murals on each of my kids walls when they were born. 1 was a forest, 1 was an fairyland and 1 was in the clouds. Everyone loved them (got a few jobs out of it) and i was so sad when we sold the house. The new owners still have the 1 as they have a granddaughter and thought it would be cute for a playroom.
so sweet! Those sound amazing! My little cousins have a forest painted on their wall that I painted
Pro Tip from a Lowe's Paint department employee: Ask for a paint sample instead of buying a quart. They only come in satin, but they cost four dollars each and are only about a half pint of paint. If you need more, bring in the container you got it in and they should be able to read the formula off the label and make you more.
Thank you scary paint person!
I work a valspar desk in England and I was gonna say the same thing lol - only our samples come in Matt too...
Yes! This is exactly what I was coming to suggest! I've done quite a few projects with samples; it's so much cheaper, and you waste so much less paint. Plus, it's easier to store!
THIS!!! i was working on an art project that required wall paint due to materials i was using, and i bought those little cans of paint. still have 'em too lmao!
Our girl Rachel just wakes up and thinks to herself, “you know what? Imma make a goddamn painting because I’m living my life to the fullest!”
Life's too SHORT FOR BORING WALLS :'D
@@rachelmaksy pop off, sis! 💖💖
I wish I could be like that 😙😔😙✨✨
Its very rapunzel from tangled...i expect there to be a song as well.
@@rachelmaksy Is this going to be a permanent installation in your house, or are you going to paint over it regular someday?
“Frodo’s legs are long like a kangaroo”
Me, who has never seen her videos before: *puzzled expression* “which version did she watch? Is she talking about Elijah irl- no, even he doesn’t have long legs... what is she talking about?” ........ *slowly realizes Frodo is her dog*
this made me giggle
I like how you were concerned that she thought Frodo's legs were long, but not that somebody asked her his favorite sleeping position😂
Giggles
being a pro painter for 10 years of my younger life, my stomach still turns every time I see paint and nothing protecting the floor, especially with that beautiful wood floor and rug. other than that I very much enjoyed this video. just watching you work and answer questions was very relaxing and quite entertaining.
THANK YOU. I really liked the video but the addition of a drop cloth would not have hurt.
never thought rachel could ever be prettier but recently she has been looking like a straight up GODDESS??
ExCUSE Me why are you so SWEET
Yeahhh the video starts and I was like hOl up miss goddess-
No she hasn't been looking like a goddess she IS a goddess
@@lilgoldfish5828 words of wisdom
well goddesses tend to look like goddesses
Rachel has reawakened the creative side of me that has been hibernating in depression for years. Seriously I can't emphasize enough how much her goofy and incredibly genuine personality and generous creativity has given me back my soul. These last few months after finding her videos have been some of the most productive and joyful I can remember in a decade. I've started painting again, taken up quilling (a craft I always wanted to try), and am slowly gaining the confidence to explore and wear the clothes that interest ME rather than what is "expected" of me. Thank you Rachel! Thank you! Thank you!
❤❤❤
I hope it continues to get better for you
That's wonderful! ❤️
Creativity breeds more creativity... You go Mango!!! Let nothing stop you from doing what you 💕
Oh this is lovely! Same here!
I have dreamed about doing this almost my entire life, but haven't because I thought I was being too childish. No longer! When we move into our new house I shall paint ALL the walls!!! ... Thank you for the inspiration and the courage to do so. ^.^
Me...staring at my wall, plotting...*as a goth, I'm thinking twisted mossy trees & tombstones * this was an awesome & inspiring video!
Rachel: This room is neglected
The room: *is possibly a little plain but still beautiful and aesthetic*
Getting a pep talk on wearing whatever you want while painting trees gave me serious Bob Ross vibes and I'm here for it
Girl, big same!
Yo, yes.
The bloopers at the end of each video are almost always my favorite part!! Frodo's zoomies were especially funny haha
I grew up in a family of painters and I guess having mural walls is not such a normal thing. I always had some kind of mural on my walls and my sibling and cousins to boot. We would even paint other family members walls on occasion and would change out murals/room themes every few years. It was always super fun and rewarding to see your progress! You did a great job!!
Okay I can’t be the only one who immediately asked “Rachel where’s a tarp? .... get a tarp... RACHEL PUT DOWN A TARP!”
I know!! I gasped at her opening the paint on that rug!! 🤗
@@LadyMorganLavon
Yup! I started shouting 'NO!!'
When I tell you I was ~stressed~
when she started to stirr the paint on the carpet, something inside me died😱😱
Saaaaaaame!! I got so stressed with the paint on the rug! But she's apparently the earnest painter ever and was able to keep it in the bucket 🤣🤣🤣
Rachel: “This stuff doesn’t matter, people aren’t going to watch it all the way through anyways”
Me: THOSE ARE MY FAVORITE PARTS
MINE TOO I love it!
the ends are very validating for me, we all have bloopers in life, and sometimes its easy to forget that social media is SO highly curated to show the edited versions of people.
You remind me of my daughter in some ways. She moved to another country years ago. Watching your video makes me miss her so very much. I loved how your wall turned out. You're very talented! And good for you to express, in style, who you are in your own way. Some are not brave enough to do so and spend their entire lives just "going with the flow" to fit in. Your style, ever changing, is uniquely you and it's lovely. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
Also, PRO TIP: Home Improvement stores will make sample sizes of wall paint in most colors, if not all. They’re only a few bucks and would provide more than an ample amount for a project like this. I might not have a “red room,” but I do have about 50 Shades of Grey sample pots in my basement. Now go forth and paint all the walls, because this one looks fantastic!
"That means I don't have to go to Lowe's and talk to the scary paint people because that is too much responsibility for me."
As someone who works at a hardware store, I can assure you, we are just as afraid of you as you are of us. But we work this job because we enjoy to suffer.
Rachel: puts the pots of paint on her rug
Me: screams in frustrated terror and foreboding
So much this!!
When she put the pails down on the carpet I was like “DROP CLOTH!!! DROP CLOTH!!!” LOL
(Thank you for saying what I was thinking I panicked so bad I had to pause the video for a second to breathe laskjdksks)
I also freaked out when she set the paint on the rug!
Yeah I was expecting an accident. If it was my carpet, it would just have to look at a can of paint and there would be an incident. 😂🤣
It's cool when two people you follow who do quite different things, actually know and follow each other too XD. But also, I remember when I was a tween I painted all over my bedroom walls and doors without even thinking it was wrong because it was my own room. I showed my dad all proudly when he got home from work and he just said it was cool lol. Cool dad
"Do you ever just look at something and just inmediately it hits you right in the aesthetic?"
Me: *Looks at the butterfly scroll you have on the back and my butterfly courtains * Yes
You yourself is a whole new level of aesthetic tho.
she does indeed
Yup
I agreee
Just. Yes.
Rachel-core
“So I don’t have to talk to the scary paint people.”
I felt that. Everyone with social anxiety felt that.
Yesss
Ooooh yeah. It was felt
*sad nod*
Yup.
I enjoy painting and I love to socialize. Am I a scary paint person???
I'm only 3:08 mins in but I wanted to say how smart it is to use left over paint, it'll tie this room into the color scheme of each room♥️ c o h e s i v e♥️
petition to do the whole room. that mural instantly made your bedroom so much warmer and cozy and inviting. feels like you're gonna be nuzzled in a bed of moss and you're gonna hear a brook and some birds or something. love it love it love it.
Adulthood rocks, my husband is currently building me a wall to wall bookcase in the living room which includes a secret bookcase door into my sewing room. My childhood self would have died of excitement if she could have foreseen that.
WOWOWOWOW sounds so cool ... I dream of a beautiful wardrobe ALA Narnia styles ..but may have to add that idea to wish list too sounds divine!
That sounds absolutely incredible!
That's so cool! I dream of one day having a place and building a little chicken coop that looks like one of those mushroom houses/cottage and have a couple of sweet chickens ❤️
I would cry with happiness for such a bookcase.
Unless your a teenager.
things that give me anxiety: the lack of floor protection, especially with those paint cans right on the rug
Me, too! I could just see a great drip of grey paint creeping down the side of the can!
She lives on the edge
Watching the open pots of paint on the floor in a place that has a dog running around made my eye twitch and my head hurt, lol!
Right? I was like "You have open cans of paint on a carpet! Ma'am, get an old piece of fabric on the floor and roll the carpet corner away!" I'm pretty sure I went into mum mode (and I don't have kids)
I've noticed most everyone doing these types of videos never prepares properly. No taping, no dropcloths, barely move furniture. Are they copying each other, I don't know, but it guarantees a mess.
If you want wall paint in smaller portions and grater variety, go and get samples. They are about $3 or $4 so it's pretty reasonable.
EVERAFTER is totally one of my number one comfort movies. I can quote the. Entire. Movie.
Then you must do that right now
Rachel, talking to her pupper: "No... It's not a toy."
Also Rachel: *proceeds to play with brush like its a toy*
The wall turned out SO DANG PRETTY and I’m relieved that no rugs were harmed in the making of this youtube video.
I was hoping none of that paint would harm the lovely carpet. I’m a sucker for a Persian carpet.
for real, i had anxiety about there not being any coverings on the floor!
I’m seriously considering doing this to a wall in my room. I told my mum to talk me out of it but she encouraged me instead so we’ll see how it goes lol
how'd it goo??? :DD
When she put the paint cans on the floor I just shouted at my computer "NO PUT NEWSPAPER ON YOUR FLOOR FIRST"
I have become old 😂😂😂
Rachel: *Is making stew, baking bread and paints victorian wall mural simultaneously*
Me: *Can barely even walk and talk simultaneously*
I know ...does Rachel have 8 arms of a Creative Goddess or what????
I think she painted the wall the day after she made the bread and stew, otherwise that would be mega impressive!
My grandmother gave me those same “you crafty bitch” socks for Christmas last year lol
Love the plants placed over the mural-they fit so well.
It's really cool how much bigger the room suddenly looks
Tip for anyone using water-based wall paint: pre-moisten your brushes, rollers, and sponges. You want them to be moist so they don't absorb a ton of paint and get super goopy and gross.
You can also tape halfway down the bristles to cut down on drips.
I can't believe how often this has been an issue and I hadn't figured this out yet!
wow I feel stupid now... would have helped me so much painting the wall in my bedroom... Thank you!
Damn! Thanks, I'm actually doing some home painting so the timing of this tip is perfect!
It turned out so lovely!
This wall painting is called 'Trompe-l'œil'. The Ancient Romans did it in Pompeii.
Rachel: Do you ever look at something, and it just immediately hits you right in the aesthetic?
Me: It's happening right now, with that butterfly poster.
OH MY GOSH this is stunning! makes me want to do it to my entire houseee!
Heehee thank you queen!!!! It was way too much fun 😂😂
Me too! DOOOO IIIIIT!
Bruh, same
@@rachelmaksy Love the dress!
As an artist that struggles with multiple mental disorders, 2 jobs, and living on my own, i find it hard to find time and the energy to create anymore, but today I found your video, I found your channel. You inspired me to get up, out of bed, grab my art supplies and paint, which feels like I haven’t done in so long. As I continued to watch your videos I became more Inspired and happy to just live in that moment as I was painting. So I just wanted to say thank you; thank you for encouraging me, to do what seems like the impossible to me, and get out of bed :,)
You sent this a while ago but I just wanted to say im so proud of you for getting out of bed! That's a really big step amazing job, that's amazing
this is wonderful, good job on painting!
I have had a difficult time also. I am so sorry you have struggled. I have been differently inspired since watching this too.
I struggle with the same thing ur not alone man ik its hella cheesy but ‘tis true brethren
I hope you’re doing better now 🥰
I get so unnecessarily happy hearing that very Massachusetts-specific pronunciation of "roum" in "bedroom", etc. It adds a whole new layer of soothing quality to the video!
I would 110000% watch a video of you trying to the best of your ability to recreate those asgardian citizen hairstyles
Rachel: This is one of the most neglected rooms in the house.
The room: *is 100% more styled than anything in my home*
I can't wait to own a house so I can make it ~aesthetic~
such a mood 😭
There's nothing more exciting than moving into an empty house and knowing you can do whatever you want with the space
"Adulthood rocks...You can eat cereal whenever you want, and you can paint on your walls...." ~Rachel Maksy, 2021
And you can have ice cream and cookies for dinner. And stay up All Night, if you want to.
I don't recommend either on a regular basis, and some people have sleep issues, so that's a thing, but keeping promises made to your child-self is a fantastic adult thing to do.
When I was a kid, my brother painted a mural on the bedroom wall. He was an amazing artist. Never found out what the Department of Housing thought about it when we moved, though.
i watched this during my online class, not kidding, this was way better than my class. your room is amazing!!!!
Looks like eucalyptus forests here in australia. Like great dividing range temperate and tropical misty ancient rainforest vibes.
That’s what I thought! It looks like the bush near Toowoomba on a misty day. And Toowoomba has a lot of misty days, which is great. I really miss the landscape and the weather there.
I don’t miss the people.
I was thinking the same thing!
Yes! It reminded me of the Dandenong Ranges here in Victoria too.
Yes so much like the Aussie bush
Do you have any tips on places to go or things to see in Australia? My family are thinking of taking a trip. when covid is over.. it would be cool to not just see the top popular stuff. Like historical places etc, I'm doing studies to learn more about aboriginal people so we will definitely be going to uluru and the northern territory.
Every time you throw your hair up into a ponytail, I am just reminded of how badly I wish for a Don Bluth Anastasia cosplay video. Please, please, please, please, please.
OMG
painterly bushes is actually the name of my all-girl, art house, shoegaze band. 'curse of eve' was the name of our first ep.
I don’t know what it is about your videos but I love rewatching them. This is the third time I’ve watched this one and I’ll probably be back again soon :) ❤️❤️❤️
Rachel: makes stew, bakes bread, films video, draws mural and plans to wait until the next day to paint it.
My ADHD brain: rushes stew, burns bread, forgets to film, draws only half of mural, gets too excited and goes in with the paint anyway, gives up, has half painted wall for the next 2 years.
Hey, you stole my lack-of-planning impulsive-behaviour itinerary for the day (and next 2 yrs)!
But for reals -- same story here, my fellow atypical. *le sigh, le sigh... sadface*
😂
R MH lmao *probably doesn’t have all the ingredients for the bread or stew but tries to make it impulsively anyway and just leaves the kitchen in a mess because they’re too excited to do the mural they’re never going to finish* 😂👍
*looks nervously at the panda mural that's been left unfinished for the last eight years.
@Molly May
I`m surprised she isn`t also writing a book at the same time...
"do you ever just look at something and it just hits you, right in the aesthetic?" ... well, yes, you....
Oh my god, the end result to me looks EXACTLY like the forest where Sam and Frodo see the Elves walking through in the extended version of The Fellowship of The Ring. And if that’s not Rachel’s aesthetic, then I don’t know what the heckity it is. 100/10.
Random person: "I love your hair!"
Awkward me: "Thanks, it has pockets!"
They do make smaller sizes than that, they're sold as paint samples for around $1 and they're around half a pint of paint. That's what we did when we painted the clouds on the ceiling.
Clouds on the ceilings ? Sounds so cool ✨
the best/worst thing about rachel is that she makes me want things i didn't even know i wanted LIKE AN ENTIRE MURAL ON MY WALL
I want to do this but have none of the talent that she has x
I have confession! You make me confront my internalized misogyny on a regular basis. I have to battle with my biases against pretty, successful, quirky women every time I see a thumbnail of yours, and thusly take a week to click. I adore you like crazy, and appreciate your work, thank you for being awesome
I pondered this slowly for the last 2 months. Rachel you are responsible for 'we'll put a new coat of paint up before the baby gets here' becoming 'full-scale woodland baby wonderland'. I have no money now, only badger watercolours and baskets with foxes painted on them.
when I was a kid, my mom painted a mural in the hallway of this field surrounded by woods, and I think there was a cottage there too? and then painted a white lattice criss cross fence over top of it so it looked like you were looking through the fence into the distance, and I was so engrossed with it that I used to spend hours just sitting in the hallway and staring up at it, pretending I was playing in that field, or talking to the owner of the cottage, or sometimes pretending it was my cottage. I can't recall the details of it very well anymore, because we moved out of that house when I was 11 and so far my mom hasn't been able to find a picture of it, but god I miss it. she also made these borders around the living room with hand painted ivy leaves and did a light sponge painting with some forest green around the walls. it was so beautiful.
anyway, this video not only let me live vicariously through you (I'm renting and paint is expensive and I'm no artist), but it also made me hella nostalgic in the best way!! so thank you for showing us your beautiful mural, and for being a nice cozy place to reminisce and get back in touch with that dreamy part of my psyche that I missed.
What a lovely memory, you have of childhood. I love to do laundry because my Mom used to sing while she did it and it relaxed me so much I would just sit with my back to the dryer and listen.
Rachel: opens cans of paint on carpet, starts painting on walls
Me: newspaper panic, cries in painter’s tape
Yes I freaked out when she was opening the paint tin on a beautiful rug.
I freaked out when she opened that can of paint on the rug! Cover the floor woman!
The paint on the window frames and on the walls not for the mural, makes me scream internally a little....
She painted the outlet and it hurt my soul
@@darlingcat remember that most outlets are plastic and are therefore plebeian and need to be painted!
Yes, we do watch to the end! Love you coping with lockdown and the light returning. Do be well.
I'm an artist so I love it when you feature any kind of artwork, even your lil sketchbooks that make an appearance. :) Seeing you paint entire wall mural is insane, it's so good though. When I was a teen I wanted to paint my room like a forest/jungle, but was only green-lit to put up jungle wallpaper borders. So it's amazing to see this! The muted colors are very adult, btw. Lovely!
Your point about style is so relatable. Sometimes I look like my grandmother just trying to be comfy other days I wanna feel like Indiana Jones while I walk around costco, or I wanna look like Galadriel as I walk through the forest, a hobbit? A schoolteacher? A librarian? Sounds good to me! As of now my favorite style is what I call Vagabond made up of thick long skirts, cloaks, satchels, boots, Indiana Jones hat, a lantern with a candle inside.
Why yes, I am one of those “watch all the way to the end” viewers. Without the outtakes I wouldn’t feel like it was a complete video.
P.S. I love how this turned out!
The BOLDNESS of painting without taping off or covering the floors. 😂 lovely and inspiring.
Stunning end result. The ease with which it's done is so amazing. Fantastic transformation; the room decor goes well especially the hanging plant on the corner of the room like it's part of the painting.
This pandemic has gotten easier to deal with once I found Rachel and Bernadette Banner. 😽
I understand just how you feel! I also watch Rachel and Bernadette! However, it's now mostly Rachel. She cracks me up! Stay safe, friend! ~Janet in Canada

I'm thinking that painting a wall in 4 different rooms to represent the seasons. Winter - Bathroom, Autumn - bedroom, Spring - spare room, Summer - main room.
Oooh that sounds so pretty!
That sounds nice! I would probably only do that if there are a bunch of windows though, otherwise the rooms might feel a bit more cramped than usual.

It looks really cool with the hanging house plant in the corner, like the mural is coming to life. Also the vanity/decor combined with the mural looks kind of Tarzan/victorianish. :)
I think that's my favorite part we had an illustrated copy of beauty and the beast when I was young that had this style, a mingling of outside in, real false etc. Somebody in another comment said trompe loeil. Yes
Re: Binx being a Mythical Feline, I had two cats and one was friendly while the other always hid as soon as she heard the doorbell. She was dubbed “The Cat of Questionable Existence” by my friends.
One might call it Schrödinger’s cat lol
Love love love. Super inspiring! Great job on perspective; it makes your room look so much bigger.
Straight love your socks! You also did an amazing job with the wall mural.
Rachel: Adulthood rocks. You can eat cereal whenever you want.
Me: *just finished eating cereal while watching her paint* Yes, yes it does.
Cold pizza and Mountain Dew for breakfast!
@@maryblaylock6545 YES....Cowboy cookies ( oatmeal cookies with 1 1/2 cups of whatever the hell you have, today it was craisins and chocolate chips) and coffee for lunch.
Fine, I'll have chicken and veggies for dinner.
See, adulting doesn't have to be hard!😁
Literally eating cereal at 12:30 a.m. watching this video... :D
OMG same
Right?? Literally was talking about this yesterday while eating ice cream in bed! Freedom!
“I quickly whipped up a painters apron”
Me: *looks intensely at the sewing project that’s been on my desk for a legit year and cries*
I feel this in my soul
Please don’t call me out like that x
This video is so comforting. This mood is perfect. And what you say about adulthood should be said more often, we tend to forget that we can DO things.
Hi Rachel, I'm new to your channel and I honestly got hooked because of 1) your soothing voice and 2) your whole vintage aesthetic ♥️ I too love the vintage era and i'm so happy i came across your channel ♥️
Mmm that live plant blending with the foliage is **chef’s kiss**
She is like a ginger Bob Ross, she make the painting process look so easy, I clearly hear in my head "this is a happy and lonely tree"
"Lets paint some friends for that tree" *Bob Ross whisper voice*
@@melissagray461 Hahahahahaha true!
some of it, is,..! Especially, the trees,..! I can see, a Castle in the distance,..! I wish, se would do a castle on a mountain, top in the distance,...!
Talk about being up my aesthetic! I just stumbled upon your channel three days ago and have been binging incessantly ever since. You remind me of my best friend growing up who, coincidentally, assisted me in painting an *Alice In Wonderland* mural on my wall that I did whilst grounded by my ‘rents as a teenager. Another strange coincidence: my nickname growing up was Shrub, short for TreeShrub , in reference to that very same Monty Python clip you used.
I had already wondered if you are my spirit animal, and that just confirms it, fellow Taurus. I, for one, am overjoyed at finding you, and can’t wait to continue to watch your videos, in their entirety, until the sad day that I have finished them all. Which will be a few days from now at this rate. This is the first comment I have *ever* left on a CZcams video, which I had planned on doing even before watching this one with all its serendipitous glory. Please keep doing what you’re doing because you are magic, and you bring so much joy to so many.
