    The first room makeover in my home is finally complete and it feels like I can breathe. Although this has been two years in the making, I'm not beating myself up for living life throughout my time here and making the decision to now start this massive project. I’ve been working behind the scenes on leaning into this new chapter and figuring out/feeling this new Rachel. Thank you for being here - I am excited to see where this house takes us xx.

    Did anyone else notice that extra drape holder I forgot to take down? Ha! Thank you to Best Buy for sponsoring this video! Check out and be sure to head over to get your Level Lock+ today: go.magik.ly/ml/1xd40/

      Your designs are truly unique! Not a lot of designers out there can really honestly say that. You’re genuine and also it’s really cool you keep things around you that hold sentimental value for any reason and you design a space around people. That’s what you’re supposed to do imo. That’s how I design spaces too! You’re doing a great job- keep up your good work and healing in between❤

    Rachel, what a beautiful way to turn grief into an extension of love. My dream room! I noticed you kept apologizing about how full it is, but I’ve lived in plant FILLED studio apartments all my adult life. Nothing to apologize for! This room is just stunning

    Oh my dear, I will never stop admiring you! I love "too much" because minimalist spaces don't reflect the personality of their inhabitant. They remind me of catalogue pictures. I want to be surrounded by my memories, gifts from loved ones and greenery. This is my idea of home, where those who are no longer with me are still with me. Thank you for this video!

    I'm actually jealous of your plant wall, I've tried twice now at growing Pathos plants, and failed unsuccessfully. I think I give them too much love, and they don't like the UK weather.
    Great room Rachel, job very well done ❤❤❤

    Welcome back momma. Take life easy. To heck with rushing, nothing organic about rushing. I love how much love that room exudes. So many details that makes one take notice. The colors are so tranquil in all your spaces. Like you have always been and eventually be again. Big Hug. Woodbrain (I hope I'm saying it correctly) is going to love it.

    You my dear Rachel are a true gem. You have been blessed with talent that has no limits. I love your creativity, your work ethic, your love of your fur babies and the love you have for your friends. It breaks my heart to know that you're suffering the loss of your loveable compadre who has been your shadow thru life, but you made beautiful memories that will live on forever. Take it one day at a time and hold tight to the memory in your heart. Take care.

    Rachel, first and for most you are a beautiful human being, who I admire for what you put out on your channel. My heart broke for you on the loss of your beautiful girl, and I had to stop watching the vid as I was too emotional, because I understand your loss. In saying that WHAT AN AMAZING ROOM you have created. I love watching your progress and can't wait for the next one.
    Take care of you.

  • @TamarLitvot
    @TamarLitvot Před 10 měsíci +4

    You did it! I don't think it's too much at all. Adding that glass door and bringing in the outside was a great idea. It's not only way brighter but it highlights the plant wall and all the wood grain. I love the little items on that shelf that make it feel so personal. It's a room anyone would enjoy being in.
    p.s. It doesn't feel claustrophobic at all -- that was the case for the room in its original (when you moved in) form, not now.

  • @cantocant2346

    @bailnye Před 10 měsíci

    loving this room, the only "too much decor" i see is beautifully loved and cared for plants and i dont know anyone who would complain, it adds a bit of whimsy to the very structured built in wood and gives it this natural living wood feel.

  • @tiffthrifts
    @tiffthrifts Před 10 měsíci +1

    Truly in love with this space you've created. It tells a story of your relationship with Woodbrain and the desert. It has so many organic and eclectic touches that make my boho maximalist heart sing. It's so inspiring to watch you DIY the life you want to live, through the struggles and the pain you somehow always create something beautiful.

    This room is a lush little jungle in the desert! All of the treasures you've lovingly placed around the space add interest, not overwhelm. You've always had a great eye for beautiful, unique curation. And when you see that a room could use a door, you simply cut one out. Bravo! People with vision are often misunderstood; don't waste your time over explaining or apologizing. Chasing a brave idea and seeing where it takes you isn't for everybody ;)

    I just lost my dog of 12+ years last month. I am a very solitary person, and he was hands-down my best friend and little baby. The world still doesn't make any sense without him.
    I picked up his ashes just yesterday from the vet. I still cry almost every day because I miss him so much but I see they are selfish tears. He is okay. I'm not.
    He hated when I was upset, and he could tell that I was about to get upset even before I did and he would be there looking at me. I know he wouldn't want me to be upset.
    I chant nembutsu for him every day.
    Anyways. I just really feel your loss and I am inspired by what you are doing and how you are transforming the pain into something.
    Namu Amida Butsu. I hope for your healing and good love in your life Rachel.
