I made a mermaid princess bathroom because apparently I'm 5 years old

Thank you to Sakuraco for sponsoring us and enabling us to work on these DIY projects, make the videos we want to make, and live the quiet, at-home life with our cats and garden that we want. Feel like we skipped middle age and jumped straight to grandparent lifestyle, and I'm totally good with that. Use code “RNJ“ for $5 off your first Sakuraco box here: team.sakura.co/racheljunadventures-SC2306 I feel like I am living my dream and I am so so happy and grateful!! I was finally able to (mostly) finish my bathroom and share the results! I love it SO much. This project used an IKEA LOMMARYD mirror. It could fit a 45x60cm cabinet completely hidden behind it, or you could add a much larger horizontal cabinet if you wanted to DIY it into a sliding mirror. I used acacia since it's a very dense, hard wood. Went with 2cm thick backboard and side walls. Make sure to fully pre-drill holes in acacia or you'll crack the wood (which I did the first time around, whoops).

You know, even as a trained carpenter, I am consistently impressed by Rachels ingenuity and workmanship. Always happy to see the Diy projects here.

Glad to see Jun keeps up the time-honored tradition of filming the cats while Rachel is talking!

the "dont act like you're not happy" to jun has me dying

I like that you guys have separate bedrooms and bathroom. One of the things that stress me out the most when thinking of being with someone long-term is not having my own space anywhere anymore. Of course it takes a lot to be able to afford such a comfort, but it's great to see that it can work and it's not weird for a couple to have their own spaces.

I first came to this channel for cats. Then, it was for the adorableness that is Rachel and Jun's relationship. Then it was the learning of Japanese locations and culture. Now, it's for the gardening and DIY videos. . .what an adventure this channel is 🥰🥰

Listen, I’m 30 and I desperately want a mermaid bathroom too now. Thank you for living my dreams, lmao

My favorite part of these videos is when Rachel is explaining something and Jun's distracted by the cats filming them instead 🤣

Rachel: complains about Poki jumping down the laundry chute. Also Rachel: literally lifts Nagi into the laundry chute.

Nagi going ”Brother, no!” after Poki jumped down the laundry chute sent me 😂

I feel like rachel should be given an honorary carpenter's license at this point lol

Rachel is like the common woman's DIY Icon.

Rachel repping not caring about what is in style but instead doing what will work for you and make you happy is so great!! I think it turned out so cute but still elegant!! Also the cats getting sucked one by one into the laundry chute was priceless!!

Rachel: explains something about boards Jun: zooms into haku

I cannot stand the trend where medicine cabinets have gone away. I hate all the clutter on my bathroom counter because I have nowhere to put my hairspray and face cream. This is making me want to try and install one myself!

Rachel out here casually living our Animal Crossing dream life with that mermaid mirror! I wonder how many scallops she had to trade with Pascal to get that DIY recipe 😂😂😂

"Expensive little butthead" is such a cat owner mood. I say as one myself. 😄

I don’t know how much Poki remembers of his life before Jun and Rachel, but I like to think that he’s grateful to be here. That, yeah, sure, sometimes they put weird things on him or hold him like a plushie but damn is this life good.

That Rachel made her cabinet specifications to prevent jump scare's from Huntsmen spiders makes me feel such a spiritual connection to her. 😂

YAYYY A RACHEL AND JUN VIDEO
