this is such a perfect example of the "looks weird for 95% of the journey and then suddenly magically looks AMAZING" that so much of art is 😂
-
Just think, if you paint a woodland mural in every room of your house, you’ll basically be living in the woods like a majestic nymph. Just saying.
-
Mural painting tip from someone that’s obsessed with painting them: if you add white acrylic gesso(like $13) to any cheap acrylic paint(like 50 cent apple barrel paint) it makes it basically into thick body paint for WAY cheaper. It makes the paint go a LONG way too. :)))

What I love about Rachel is that she is kind to herself… just like “I’m not trying to make it perfect… I’m just trying to make me happy”.
-
Rachel is living the best Rapunzel life now: spending time in the house in the woods, painting & looking gorgeous with her luxurious locks.
-
Your humble horrible idea muse here: what if you made a rapunzel style cat tower in the corner so it matches the fairytale aesthetic with faux stone & ivy?
-
Rachel: Stresses Rachel: Dives in. Rachel: "I don't know what I'm doing!" x23 Rachel: Creates masterpiece. Rachel: is happy I think this video exemplifies what it means to just get started on a project that seems overwhelming. I know a lot of planning went on behind the scenes that were not added to the video. However, what was added looked authentic in its emotional intensity and fear of starting and failing. Also included in this video is a triumph and the joy of accomplishment. Such is life and art.

Ah yes, the universal artists' struggle: "I hate this I hate this I hate this oh wait it looks sick now" 👀 Always trust the process man, the beginning is rough. But it turned out so cute!
-
Rachel: This probably won't be the last mural I do in this house Me, vibrating with some gremlin energy while chanting: OFFICE MURAL. OFFICE MURAL. OFFICE MURAL. OFFICE MURAL.
-
Okay but when you're standing in front of it at the end there is a real sense of DEPTH! It's like you've stepped into an art work, a la Mary Poppins! 🥰
-
imagine putting a 3d textured stone arch to frame a mural like this, kinda like those fake foam wooden beams. i think i want to do something like this in my future home. amazing job!
-
"Hope this wasn't too boring" Boring???? That was BEAUTIFUL to watch! There's nothing better than to wake up on saturday, make coffee and watch Rachel as she continues to inspire me
-
Rachel: I hope this wasn't too boring. Me: Eyes glued to her leaf painting wondering HOW she made them look so good.
-
Question: anyone else see Rachel in front of the mural during the reveal and think "OMG, she's like a perfect Snow White!" or was that just me? 💖💖💖
-
"I want to be surrounded by whimsy." Now THAT is a motto that deserves to be made into a flag and nailed to the masthead! 😀
-
There's something about watching Rachel walk on screen, take a sip of coffee, and tell us hello that makes me feel instantly calmer and more hopeful.
-
This is such a wonderful large-scale demonstration of blocking-in colour and working in layers to build a final image! Your soothing voice and chaos witch vibes are a welcome balm.
-
I saw the paints you picked up and was like “Ohh nooo, she is in for a BAD time”. The “Oops” paints section from Home Depot or Lowes is a savior for large format paintings
-
"Are you a full grown adult who lives their life in such utter chaos that you and only you can truly understand it? And also will spend hours upon hours on a DIY in utter disregard of your own man hours just to save a couple hundred dollars?" That pretty much describes me perfectly. Rachel is my hero!
-
Who else is living vicariously through Rachel and her making her house into a whimsical happy place? Just me?
