Fusing high-desert aesthetics with hands-on DIY, Rachel Metz transforms a rugged Joshua Tree homestead into a vibrant, animal-filled oasis - one power tool at a time.

Rachel tackles her first official guest bedroom makeover, where she finds her flow with a custom plant wall; when a layout snag changes her plans, she pivots to build an integrated headboard and a floating bed that lights up the desert night.

Rachel installs a glass door that connects the guest suite to the ranch's vast views; when tragedy strikes with the loss of her beloved bulldog, Rachel creates a special outdoor tribute and pushes on to finish the guest bedroom.

Rachel welcomes Leo the pig to the ranch, complete with a custom-built outdoor habitat; she is joined by her partner, Aaron, a fellow builder who helps her start to blend their lives and styles together with collaborative mini makeovers.

Rachel and Aaron find their rhythm with a DIY custom hay feeder for their horse Mouse; they dive into a massive living room overhaul-tackling popcorn ceilings, painting, and creating a stunning, hand-laid fireplace.
