Just wanted to say that they make brick stain (not paint) if you wanna try to get a color you like more before grouting! :)
I agree! I think a dark stain would suit nicely, though nothing beats the naturally aged look of a well-used hearth.
Omg I have to try that! I’ve never heard of being stain wow! Thank you
@@XOMaCenna can't wait to see the fireplace transform video!! ❤
Love your content always so inspiring Tnx Maceena 🥰
Question, what type of camera, mic and editing software do you use?
Idea for your outlets. I had a built in fireplace wall put in years ago. I had them install the outlets in the closed cupboard on the bottom and they drilled a small hole up into the shelf above. That allows me to plug a small lamp in while hiding the cord down in the cupboard. Twenty years later I still love that feature.
I suggest that as well!
Yesssss this! I have to do that!
MaCenna's new side hustle? Making beautifully handicrafted, ornate picture frames😍 we KNOW she knows what she's doing!
😏😏😏
Kinsley is SO polite when she wants to play 💛 the way she just quietly brings her toys to momma is just 🥺 way too damn cute.
I know right 🥺😍😍 She is so precious
I like the brick. Maybe in person it looks more pink, but I like the texture of it.
The frame with the picture light turned out perfect! As usual…❤
I agree about the brick. She actually has touches of pink in the flowers and throw pillow that bring it all together.
Good evening, and all the things! 😁🤚🇸🇪
Oh, no, you're back in LA already. I was wanting to see that beautiful gate your Dad made before you left. We got a glimpse of it through the window and it looks fabulous.
The TV frame looks awesome and the addition of a picture light really completes the look of art. You are seriously talented in everything you do.
Good eye! I missed that and had to go back to see!
Oh yeah, I see it! She might be posting that video next week though.
I was waiting for someone to point that out. The gate's silhouette looks beautiful already, how much more in full view. Exciting, have to wait for the reveal though. Hehe
Soon for sure! The on and off rain in Texas right now kept me from finishing it and my dad had knee surgery so waiting a bit, but excited to share soon.
Good eye! I had to go back and check it out. Looks beautiful and with those amazing handles she got! 😍
Kinsley dropping her ball in your lap is EVERYTHING!! Great job on the frame! Love how your living room is looking - very cozy, very beautiful!
I know! That made me laugh out loud and was so delicate. And when she put it under the table @ 9:43... I can't deal with the cuteness..
I know she likely gets so much attention but every time she drops something, I'm like "Please play with that baby!!!"
It's like an easter egg honestly! It's making me focus a lot more on the vid just to see when she's gonna drop the ball 😂
I’ll never get over how much I appreciate the fact that you are so transparent and excited to share where you get information/ideas from and who has done it. The fact that you were talking about hanging the frame but couldn’t place where the idea came from just made me happy. I know that this has become your job but I never feel like you’re selling things to me. You’re providing us all with so much knowledge and avenues to find it. 💗
and because of that, I would buy anything from you. I trust you. 🤣
cant believe you didn't use a drop cloth on your pretty table while you stained that frame!! Great ideas, frame looks beautiful
I know, I was holding my breath in case she knocked over one of the pots. 😮
I know!! I was so nervous!! I would have had plastic down for sure
I came here to make the same comment. Even though she is careful and is very neat, accidents happen occasionally to everyone. Why take the chance? Does she not like the aesthetics of a plastic sheet or drop cloth in the video? It’s hard for me to understand as she often does not use a drop cloth, such as when she as doing the trim stain in the living room. One bump of a can of pain or stain can really mess up the floor or that dining table. Why not take that extra precaution?
And drilling the hole in the frame with it on the TV! I guess she knows her limits!
Hahaha I’m pretty careful with things so I guess I didn’t even realize hahah 🥰
Omg sneak peak of the gate 😍
Kinsley’s ball repeatedly making appearance is the cutest thing
I need a moody cottage video on a loop, just imagine... candles lit, fireplace on, Kinsley napping. Dark and moody, maybe a storm outside. I'd play that on repeat for all of the relaxation moments.
I would do only roman shades. Extra curtains are Just going to hide the trim.
Seriously, the amount of vision you have is astounding. You really inspire me and have had a huge influence on how my style has evolved. For example embracing and incorporating some of the beautiful pieces that I have inherited. And some of the choices I made for recent house renovations that I am incredibly happy with! Thank you for taking us along with you! 💕
Wow that means the world to me! ❤ thank you so much
Ahh the frame looks so pretty~ I'm glad you went with two instead of one of corner pieces! I'm so excited to see what progress you'll make on your la home. The place is already an absolute dream but with your creative touch I'm sure your home will turn into art!
Thank you so much!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@XOMaCenna Of course! 💞💞💞
I think you should raise the TV a little bit. It felt close before, but even more so with the frame. If you leave it where it is when you decorate for Christmas the garland is going to cover the bottom few inches of the TV.
If you're friends with any of your neighbors or store owners, when you're all done, you should invite them over for a tea party or something along those lines.
Oh gosh, 0:57 did we just get a sneak peek of the new gate! So gorgeous, can't wait for the DIY video!
I saw it too and was going to comment on it! Glad I wasn’t the only one 😍
Ahh! Thanks for pointing that out 😍
I saw that too. It looks amazing.
Wow good eyes!
I bet she wants to show it in another outdoor episode in the fall. Maybe finishing the walk way, adding stairs and railing to the front porch. That would be a great video.
MaCenna I love how excited you get just building a frame sweetie you have basically built your whole home. Loved the video.
Hahahha that’s so true
You need to put on that list a treat for your precious little helper!
The frame is AMAZING!! Seriously, you are so inspirational with how creative you are. I can’t wait to see the chairs recovered
Thank you so much!!!!
With window treatment, especially doing an inside mount, you should measure top, middle and bottom as in most cases the window won’t be 100% square. Take the smallest of the three measurements. For height, do the same thing but take the longest length. Also find out how much the factory takes off for clearance on the sides. Most people don’t like the finished space amount on the sides as light will come in. Usually 1/2” is taken off, leaving a 1/4” on each side. Depending on the head rail system you could asked them to only take a 1/4” off leaving less of a gap.
Great advice, I was thinking the same when she was measuring. So important to measure and use the smallest measurement.
@@lindaga820 I used to work in the window blind business for years and saw a lot of mistakes made by home owners or homeowners not being happy with the clearance amounts.
You truly are an inspiration to all young women ❤️
Correction… all women, young and old
@@lindaarsenault3223 I stand corrected, all women period !
As always, your end result is beautiful. You truly have the mind of an artist. I'm excited to see what you get up to in California.
Wow thank you so much!!!!!
Yes❤❤
I have stained orange brick using a sea sponge. Turned out perfect.
The picture light brings it home as far as the TV looking like art. Your frame is amazing!
I saw large glass jars in blue with lights inside around a pool it was so beautiful at night glowing and giving off light. ( indoor pool) I though going with solar light to cap off the ups and outside just mite be a dream look. One day.
I've mentioned this over and over again, you were born to do this type of work, you inspire every single person that's in this channel. I just love that tv frame is so wonderfully made.
Wow thank you so so much!!!!
Hola! No estarias tapando el sensor de la tele con la madera para que puedas cambiar de canal con el control remoto????
@@Andrealator210 perdona por la respuesta solo McCenna sabe las cocas que ase. Ella no le obstruido el sensor. Su respuesta no estaba bien contestada anterior.
Wow! I just saw your gate door through the window! It is beautiful and so awesome looking! I can’t wait to see it being installed! Your dad is awesome, great job and teamwork! Love, Love, love it!
WOW! Fantastic dramatic changes you’ve made with your “own two hands!”
You should be so proud! This is your baby. And it’s grown to be so amazing. Thank you for taking us on your journey. It would take the average DYI person a good bit longer to accomplish 1/4 of what you’ve done and not half as well. Your education and life’s experiences have served you well. You’re such a gem. You make my day. ❤️
The three inch tv frame is perfect weight for the mantle and the spectacular bookcases.👍🏼 well done
Love the fabric for the shades. On the mosquito issue. Why don't you buy some cintronello liquid and pour it into some tiki torches you can shove in the ground and surround your patio with them. Once you light the wick they will burn for a while and get rid of the mosquitoes. I live in the south and these torches work really well. You can get everything at home depot.
YES!!!!!!!!!! This is my most FAVORITE McKenna video she's done in months! Great job!!!!!!! OMG the living room looks absolutely phenomenal. All that hard work has paid off!
Drapes would cover the beautiful trim you just did😊
The frame for your TV came out so beautifully. The addition of the picture light accent was the cherry on the cake!
im honestly relieved you feel the same way about the pink brick bc i kept thinking that all along, it was distracting my eyes from the color pallet that you have going on which work in harmony so well! the pinkish brick is certainly a distraction, almost like it doesn’t belong! i bet youll find the perfect solution & i cant wait to see it💪🏻 good job with everything so far!
Velvet would be a really fun idea for the TV frame. Its beautiful by the way!
We need a list!! Nothing gets done without one. Wow you did so well on that frame, once the rub-n-buff went on it all came together to be a realistic, ornate, vintage frame. It's not too much or too little on any design aspect, everything is just right. Looking forward to summer in the storybook house! ✨🌙✨
It’s perfectly ok and not distracting if you want to throw Kinsleys ball 😊
Still think you should paint the cornice above the book cases the same as the rest of the room
Glad to see you made it back home but it was so funny when you mention a store in CA and just pop over to it as if you hop a plane to shop every day!🤣
Leave the brick! It's beautiful! Love this house!!!
I have been watching your videos for years now, but I swear I lived for the moment you added trimming in the leaving room😂 I feel sooo accomplished.
Have you considered using the gel stain to darken the grooves in the mantle? It seems like it would go alot faster than the pen.
Looove how the frame looks with the picture light above! I know it might be a little to late for this observation but I think it would've been a nice touch if you added a velvet or linen ribbon to the flat surface of the frame in between the two molding pieces, a lovely detail that I've seen you like to find in some your vintage/ thrifted frames. Just an idea in case you have to do another one jajaja ✨
Your frame is gorgeous and very much adds an extra artistic look to your fireplace, you are amazing. The fabric you chose is perfect, just so rich and stunning. Welcome back to CA, looking forward to your new home projects.♥️The way you went from Texas to Ca , looking for fabric, very cleaver!
You have elevated the DIY game in a tremendous way. I am amazed by your skills and vision. From building a whole outstanding kitchen to now building beautiful frames... I mean. Xx
Your living room is a work of art. I love love love this cottage
I hadn't seen anyone do the frame like this before! I'm definitely going to be making it this way
Did anyone else notice the front gate!! Eeeek! I am excited for that episode
I saw it too!!!! As beautiful as everything else Ms. Macenna does!!!!
@@suewalton6267 I feel so productive on Sunday mornings and inspired. She is amazing!
I love the chocolate velvet! But I would love to see a pattern in your living room space!! I think it would help tie all the blocks of color together! A beautiful vintage pattern would be stunning ❤️
I agree! The linens we saw at the end of the video would really be beautiful in the space and add to the vintage feel in the room
I’ve been awaiting a frame around the tv 😊
Becky from the Sorry girls is the “girl” you talked about who used elastic straps on her DIYed frame for her master bedroom tv.
Love all you do MaCenna!
Omg it was????? I saw a different girl but maybe she got it from Becky hahah
It looks great McCenna! Girl you should really explore wax. You put on clear wax, buff it up then add dark wax. It would do your low deep creavis & then you wipe buff the dark wax. The clear coat first controls the dark wax. Then you can put your rub & buff on. It's also sorta wax but grabs much more than just a regular furniture wax. This would work well on the fireplace mantel as well. The wax is a sealed finish on its own. Wax is the last thing you put on. Its a very nice spealer & makes it easy to clean & wipe off dust & such. Water proof as well. Try it you will love it! It will make your detailing much easier.
Wouldn’t the wax melt being the tv is over a fireplace? Thanks
@@janetbof4 No furniture wax dries hard after it cures. A good dark wax would be much easier than how she's doing it. It's designed to brush on leave a couple of hrs. Or whatever the wax calls to do. And it will add so much to the cracks creves & detail. You wax in wax off & buff to a beautiful finish .
Dear MaCenna,
I have loved your videos for a long time and always can't wait for a new one to come online.
A little tip about your frame (which turned out great, by the way):
I would suggest you to put a washer between the screw and the rubber band (on the backside of the frame). So the screw has more contact surface in the rubber and does not tear you so quickly. And believe me, it WILL tear eventually, as rubber loses its plasticizers over time.
All the best from Germany, Dagi
Your vision came to life with that frame tv. So beautiful ❤
Frame is perfect; not too fancy or busy to compete with the mantel!
You can stain bricks, just like your trim, it’s really effective :)
The trim gives the room so much class. It’s so much better than before……..love you……
Your windows would look great with inset Roman Blinds. Because the window frames are ornate the three windows should be treated as one window with Dress Curtains at either side, pulling the whole thing together. Put the curtain pole about 1 foot above the top of the windows and about 10" out at either side. This way the window frames are visible, the blinds give you privacy and a curtain at each side will give a cosy effect.....😄🇬🇧🦋
The wood work looks like a master craftsman did it. It’s truly stunning. Love the frame too.
Love the rub in Buff. Used it on handles and it’s still holding up
I love the frame. It’s simple yet impactful. Loveeee the filligree pieces
I have wanted to make a frame for my TV, but didn’t know how to handle the remote sensor. You always teach me something new! Love you!
I love the whole vibe of this living room!!😍 I also found it funny how you said, "we are going to stop by California for fabric" hehe love the commitment to getting the perfect fabric 😅
Girl! The ideas that flow from your brain! Love them all!
Making the TV frame! Almost ready to hang mine!
Wow maCenna the frame is all that,what a transformation.
You know you know what you’re doing when u make someone with a completely different design style love your space. It all just come together so beautifully
I saw a sneak peak of the gate 😮 can't wait for that episode!
The gate 👀 🤍
I’m so glad you’re changing the brick colour
IN LOVE WITH THE FRAME!!
Hi MaCenna🌺 The livingroom is looking so beautiful ❤️ I think you should paint the brick same color as mantel. Adding texter to the brick will fight against the mantel. Love all the hard work you do ; thank you. Love watching your show❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you have the time one day, maybe you can explain us how to see tone and undertone, I'm not sure I can do this, you always see things that I don't and how to match them, it's amazing ^^ The frame is just beautiful and the "light" really finishes all.
I think Becky from the sorry girls also did the straps trick in her old house..
Your home is one big piece of art. Absolutely amazing!! I would walk around my home just looking at everything I accomplished lol
That looks amazeballs, wish I had your creativeness and patience. Have a great week :).
I would leave the brick as it is. They don't show as much with the chaira in front and I don't think they clash as much. And I think the overgrout look is gorgeous outside but inside feels too rustic for your style. If you want to tone It down maybe just lightly withewash it
Oh my gosh the difference that gel stain & rub and buff made! One of those details that I wouldn't have even consider, but makes such an impact in the final look! It's totally the perfect frame for your beautiful space 🤍😍
The frame is everything!!!!!! Your attention to detail blows me away. Thank you MaCenna 💕
Aww thank you so so much!
Love, love, love the picture frame on the TV. Wish you could have stayed longer at the cottage. I would have loved to see some landscaping around the house. Are you planning to install one step from the porch to the walkway? I so wanted to see the last cabinet finished in the kitchen. When do you plan to go back to Texas?
Just love all your outside the box ideas - put a book together for do it yourself folks- amazing.
Oh my goodness! That frame is beautiful!
Lol you are BANANAS for not putting. Drop cloth down when you work on your marble and table 😮
I have a house built in 1900. I tried to keep as much character in it and I'm happy you did it too. To many times people just rip every thing out and make it to modern. Old homes just have character/history that should be preserved. Great work!!!
Wow... Absolutely stunning! What a difference the frame made. Doesn't even look like a TV anymore. 😍
Hi MaCenna!! I have the same tv, and the frames retail for more than $600! I could never justify that, but I really want my tv framed. Would you PLEASE leave a material list? I know I can build the frame myself, after seeing you do it, but I don’t know what to buy. If you could list the materials you used, and also, what that rubber piece you used to hang it was called, I would be so appreciative!! (just the wood I will need, and measurements would be so incredibly helpful!!)
I love the dimension the slightly lighter trim around the windows gives😍 it‘s like outside the slight colour difference around the windows
As a finishing touch to your livingroom setup you could add a console table behind the couch
I love this cottage it’s so beautiful especially how much you salvaged and kept the feel of the cottage ❤
I don’t know how I missed this!! This is incredible!!
The frame is amazing and the picture light just finishes it off beautifully. The chairs will be so gorgeous when re-upholstered. They were the bargain of the century! Looking forward to seeing everything finished 😊
I wonder if the foam will be in decent condition when they take the old fabric off. Or will they just add new fabric on top of old. 🤔
@@ang_131 if it was me I would definitely replace the foam, no matter what condition it’s in. The thought of somebody’s old dead skin cells in my chairs would creep me out lol
I watch from Namibia and you're the perfect start to a new week.
It’s just amazing that you can throw together some scraps and trim pieces to make a that beautiful frame! ❤😮
Love the frame for the T.V. What a difference!
The picture frame completes the space above the fireplace. I too am looking for a frame and loved your work. Cannot wait to see what's in store for us as you begin your work in LA.
Loved t his video. Your living room is so beautiful, warm, and homey. And the frame...perfect!
Not that mosquito thing being your ad at the star of the video, after it failed you. 😅
You did such a great job on the tv frame! Love it :)
