Hallo! Woodworker here. If you're feeling unsatisfied with how realistic your false wood looks, here's some ideas. Your false wood is very brown! When you look at wood that is typically used in construction, notice how many different colours are in it. Most have hues of yellow and orange, and some are even pinkish. Often wood is very similar in colour to skin tones, actually! Also, think about adding more defects to false wood. Knots are always a beautiful detail, but if you're really trying to go with an old and somewhat run-down look, think about how wood changes over time. The ends of the wood may develop "checking" (splitting on the edge) and may cup, bow and twist along the plank. Another thing to maybe consider is making your detail a bit finer? When you make false wood, the grain patterns are often large, and while beautiful, this can lead to a bit of a dissonance where it's bark-looking wood used in a scenario in which all bark would have been removed. And variate more! Your drybrushing added a lovely sense of depth and shadow, but maybe experiment with different colours of drybrushing in patches all over the piece to bring in some fun variance!

Awesome advice! I would also like to add that it would be cute to do the wainscoting in the stone detail like behind the stove. Since you have the wood beams above, the stone would be a nice juxtaposition and would actually play into the old cottage theme as that would commonly be the foundation of the building! The "stone" is easily created with cardboard and joint compound even and your "grout" can be the dark background you already have painted there because it matches what you used on the other stone.

Rachel! I love the *whimsy*!! For in-between the larger gaps in the grout I'd put a bit of dried _moss_ :D I am _weak_ for a good, mossy grout and I think it would tie in the branch foliage even more and give it even more of a long, over-run cottage in the forest 😄 Either way, it looks amazing and sooo cozy!

I’m sure someone else suggested this, but in the event they haven’t: You could do with a hot knife to cut foam! Like you, I LOATHE the mess made when cutting foam, as well as the sloppy edges. Finally I said NO MORE! I bought one of the better hot knives from Amazon, and absolutely LOVE IT - it has a heat control dial and a light indicating it’s on. This thing heats up fast - and equally important, cools off quickly. I’m careful with mine and turn it off immediately after each cut so as to extend its life. The tool is also brilliant at sealing the ends of ribbon so they don’t unravel, and slicing through artificial fiber fabric. Every hard-core crafter needs this tool. ❤

In regards to the false beams, you may be able to split wood using the wedge method to give it that rougher look that you're wanting. You'd want a wood that is relatively straight grain and even better, prone to splitting, for example, cedar is very easy to split. I think pine would also work well, but you'd want to avoid splitting where there are knots. Before precision machining was as accessible as it is today, wood was cut to rough size by hammering in wedges along the grain line, start at one end and when it starts to split, add another, and keep going down. It will remain relatively straight, while also looking beautifully lumpy. It would look like how wood split from an axe looks! I haven't had the chance to experiment with this, but in rural areas where I live this is the go to method to building fences for around the property. It's seems relatively quick and easy as long as you have the correct tools. Also keep an eye out online for people selling or giving away old wood, you can often get it real cheap

I'm all for Rachel turning her workshop into a Larp scenery setting to live out her best woodland cottagecore fairytale dreams in :3

A tip to add a little more "au naturale~" to the fake foliage is to take a de-saturated yellow green paint mixed with white glue so it'll adhere. Then doing drybrush and wash until desired look is achieved. For additional depth do a different coat in a different green tone. Can also be done for autumn leaves just with red, orange, yellow. You can splatter spots on if you want that detailing. I love the bubble wrap creativity. Reminds me of when I made dragon horns out of aluminum foil, masking tape and paint-glue mix.

Whenever I paint, I get samples of different shades of the color I like. I paint each wall in the room with the 3-5 paint samples I’ve bought (very small paint samples are available from the big box stores). Then I can see how each color looks in the room on different walls, at different times of the day, as the sun changes directions. It’s a great way to know exactly what you want!

I enjoy a man with good tools. and every job has to be measured by how many trips to the hardware store. My husband has spent a few hours painting vintage nails, for me to use in my felted "tap dancing" sheep. I mean it's just a fun and easier way to make sheep legs, but the bonus is that can tap dance if you move them around a tad. He just asked so nicely if I would need more painted, with the holidays coming (I donate all my felted items to the Historic Society in Keene NH and they have the most darling little store that helps support their fabulous programs. People are kind enough to donate the curly locks for the sheep also. But without the help of "Tool Boy" none of this would be possible.

Okay, while watching Rachel try making faux branches, my fuzzy little brain thinks: "Rachel lives on a farm. There must be real trees on the farm. Why not just gather some real branches???"

Love how the barn is turning out, though I will admit that since I am also undergoing some home renos at the moment, I was desperately pleading with miss Rachel to not paint over the wainscoting because while the immediate satisfaction is tempting I just KNEW she would be unsatisfied with how dull and flat it ended up looking. It takes so much more work, but NOTHING beats a good sanding, staining, and layer of polyurethane

Glad to see you back, beautiful lady! Do you ever check Facebook Marketplace or reclamation sites for project supplies?

Sanding and re-staining isn't the only way to change the color of stained wood! You can avoid the flat look of just painting over wood by buying stain that is made to go directly over existing stain! The stuff is practically magic, and in this case would preserve some of the color dimension/texture from the wood. All you do is suuuuuuper lightly rough up the finish of the existing stain, just enough so the finish isn't perfectly smooth, and apply the new color. Would've been the perfect thing for this project as Rachel was making the wood darker. Great results, and barely any sanding required.

This is why I love you! 🥰 Why SHOULDN'T our spaces make us happy? Be creative! Be fun!

Your videos always give me lots of crafting energy so I’m going to knock on wood do something crafty when I make it home from work

I love how the fake stone wall turned out, and i hope it holds up to the heat of the oven. However, i can’t help but obsess over the beam situation, namely, the way that i think they don’t really work structurally. It just takes me out of the fantasy, seeing it as it is now. I think there should be a long horizontal beam “supporting” the ceiling beams. This beam should then be propped up by the vertical and diagonal beams. Anyway, looking forward to the next instalment 👍👍

ok but if you added just a few more if the fake stones the same way you did the upper part around the bottom corners to blend the stone corner a little more into the surrounding walls it would be so cool. really love the progress your making!

"Make it look intentional" really is the biggest secret all craftsmans keep. And you did a fantastic job of that! The stones really do look great, just enough to make the perfect little stone wall for your stove. The branch looks fab! The leaves are... not your fault.

Really like the look you went with. I really enjoy stuff like this or dystopia like theme's there's just something about them.

I work for a large theater company in the Prop shop and Scenic Paint shop. Your beams are similar in process to what we do. For beams or planks we take those purple 3/4" 4 ft x 8ft sheets of foamular insulation and table saw them down to size. You can scrape, sand and cut into them very nicely and the foam doesn't crap on everything like styrofoam. Then we use foam coat (we foam coat the shit outta everythang) giving it whatever texture you want. Then paint and they look great! You can screw into them really well. We just made a 2 story set that's the inside of a rustic African nightclub and used lots of those purple boards.

Possibly a hundred years from now, some one will buy your barn and spend the rest of their lives trying to figure out what archeological period it belongs, but for now it looks great. Loved watching you transform the old to the faux older.

I am very curious how much time Rachel spends, on average, working on this YT channel per week. Since they filmed the barn redo for her channel, I would count this. Given that she has over a million subscribers, does she earn from YT and advertisers enough for the hours she puts in? How many support staff does she have, other than her awesome husband? As I am watching her work on the barn from my warm bed, I look around me room and walls with butterflies and various theme paints and briefly consider “I could do so much better in my room” and then I burrow even further into my warm and comfy bed and just enjoy Rachel some more.

My inspiration was running low working on my new house, this is exactly the style video I needed today! Thank you so much for always keeping me going with crafts 😊

I have to be honest, after the spider cookies, I watched as much Christine McConnell as there is on KZread (which is not much) and even though it is enchanting and she definitely IS a goddess...I don't feel comfy over there. I feel at home here, with the Hobbits and the Floor Trolls and where our very own goddess doesn't have much of a plan and is authentic and human and relatable and unprofessional in the best sense of the word because being unprofessional breeds its very own kind of creativity. It's so cozy here. I was a minute into this here video when I realised I feel like a dog who has run away for a bit and is now SO glad to be home again.
