Hi yes hello, do you ever just get so BORED with modern furniture and want to give it a victorian/fantasy makeover? WELL have I got the video for you. Have fun watching me wrestle a roll-y chair, swear a few times, and completely fluff up directions.
This was the first time I've tried a few different methods: Upholstery, Apoxie Sculpt, and trying to even design furniture. Let's just say it was a journey lmao. ANYWHO I hope ya enjoy and I don't make you wince too much.
LOVE YOU

  • Hello friends! Captions are out for transcription and should be up later tonight! :) ALSO: Please be on the lookout for a ding-dang scammer in the comment section. I'm not hosting any kind of giveway on 'telegram' or would EVER ask you for money so please report them if you see them! THANK YOU LOVE YOU <3
  • Another episode of Rachel little by little turning her house into the Shire, with a wifi connection.
  • I love that Rachel has a real cat, and chose to CGI one into the bit anyway. Because we know doing all the work to add one in post is easier than getting a live cat to cooperate. 😂
  • I honestly think someone would have a million dollar idea if they could make comfy aesthetic computer chairs in themes like this.
  • "Someone will find it 40 years from now in a thrift store and think; what is this monstrosity?" - I love those moments, so, win-win. 😅
  • @esornsin
    I feel like you've unlocked a gaming chair niche that desperately needs to become more common. Victorian gaming chairs ⭐
  • She is so incredibly talented, but I spent the whole video thinking "You can take the chair apart! It unscrews!!"
  • Honestly, when I was bingewatching your videos during Quarantine, you made me realize "wow, I could work in a craft store..." and now I've been at Joann Fabrics for two and half years 😂 Thank you for awakening a dream in me that I didn't realize I had, I love it there
  • This actually gave me the motivation I needed to go and mend a hole in my car seat with some flowery fabric, that I've never had the courage to do before because "if no one ever did it, maybe there's a reason and you can't do it for said reason, even if I still can't come up with what that reason could be". Basically, you teach me with every video that if you can think of it, you can do it.
  • @elyssart
    Rachel's new words of wisdom really speak to me, "bad planners can't be choosers."
  • Me: side eyes our gray, ergonomic desk chair from across the room My husband: "Please, no."
  • I really appreciate it when you analyze what you could have done better and why. It helps us learn as you learn. Those no shame in mistakes, especially if you can learn from them.
  • I'm so glad someone finally addressed that gaming (and desk) chairs need more variety/ beauty! I'm always wondering where the pastels and organic tones are. Why can't they be cozy, beautiful, AND ergonomic? I love that you didn't let it hold you back and you just went and made one! 👏
  • as fun as it is watching professionals make stuff, it's also really fun watching an artist just fuck around and finding out and you fill that void for me big time thank you
  • @eflarsen
    that $600 gaming chair deserves this makeover and i'm not afraid to say it
  • I really appreciate that you discussed your failings in a project because so many people don't and it gives people unrealistic expectations. I know it's not a great feeling when something you really love and worked hard on doesn't come out or quite work the way you wanted, but I thank you for sharing. Also, cut yourself some slack! As you said, it was your first time ever working with that material!!! I feel like anyone could and probably has mad that mistake. You're human. It's okay. It looks great and you learned from it and that's what truly matters.
  • "Looking like an alien who's never seen a chair before" had me literally cackling and rolling on the floor I love you.
  • this is her most cursed creation yet and it brings me so much joy because this is 100% categorically, unequivocally something I would see in the thrift store and just stare at, dumbstruck with awe and wonder because what the actual hell is that... Rachel is king for always coming through with those bumfuzzlingly magical creations.
  • Rachel: I'm gonna put on a mask because I don't want to breathe in foam dust Also Rachel: paws the epoxy goop with bare hands, rubs hands near eyes
  • You inspired me to give the living room a makeover into a medieval lady's solar and musical conservatory, and my office into a steampunk study. Make the Whimsy you wish to see in your world!
