Something that Drew does that I like, and wish you would do since I love your style, is to take some of your fan’s pictures of their difficult rooms and offer suggestions how you would style or decorate the space.
As A Mom. Don’t over fill your schedule. In the second half of the year. You wont be able to keep up. Enjoy being a Mom you have waited so long for this. Let go of some things. Give yourself grace in the next few months Your life is going to change So much you don’t Even Know. love to you all
Much the same as I was going to say , on the podcast question . Wait a few years for anything new . The years fly by , and you will see some things must be set down for awhile and the podcast is an easy pick , it just wasn't your thing for this season of life , just be Mommy for now 💙.
Yeah I love her content, but as a new mom to a 8 month old, reality hits hard when the little being makes it earthside. But already the time is FLYING.
Sleep most definitely is going to be an issue in the beginning but this is her identity also. I don't think she'll take on much when he's born, but she should just do a visual podcast best. I would say do the business I've always been curious to hear what she has to say about that but I I think she could incorporate the last 5 minutes of the podcast to addressing design ideas of pictures of our living spaces❤ also you should get a few started before the baby's born to get you through a few weeks of content❤️ you know what just talk to us we have plenty to say 🤣 🤯 YOU COULD JUST DO LIVE VIDEO PODCAST 🤯
As much as I love her, I think being a mom is going to be a really big wake-up call. She loves going to her fancy lil LA sit down restaurants, multiple trips to Lowes a day, jumping on a plane whenever she wants....That doesn't happen when you're a mom, especially a new one. If you read this MaCenna, please take care of your postpartum mental health and take it slow. I know it's going to be hard for someone like you to not do "all the things" all the time, but your priorities are going to shift and it's okay. We'll be here when you adjust, just enjoy your baby ❤
The $4 painting is a copy of 'The Milkmaid' 1658 by Vermeer. It's in theRijks museum, Holland. He also painted 'The Girl with the Pearl earring'. ❤ Kingsley.
I watched an episode of Great Art Explained about a Vermeer painting. I appreciate art but it was interesting to learn more about specific pieces and artists.
It made me laugh to see the milkmaid because in France this painting is really famous because it has been used by a yoghurt brand for decades like almost every household has had it at some point in its refrigerator 😂
And the colours of the original are so much clearer then the ones in this print. I always wonder if MaCenna is doing any research when she finds art or a print.
My sister and I walked by you two at the Rose Bowl Flea and we were so excited to just see you, we didn’t want to bother you because you were just strolling and chatting with each other ❤
Oh I would have totally said Hi!!! I’m driving to cali next month just to go to the Rose bowl and to Olive arterlier . I will probably over buy but here in Yuma we don’t have good thrift stores and no flea markets 😢😢 I hope I see MaCenna and Romeo!!!
@@PjSmith that’s so exciting! There are lots of thrift stores, antique shops, and a flea market every weekend here in SoCal (1st Sunday: PCC Flea Market, 2nd Sunday:Rose Bowl, 3rd Sunday: Long Beach Flea, 4th Sunday: Topanga Flea Market) hope you over shop while you’re here!
I have a design dilemma, have a wall in my bedroom with a vaulted ceiling no window and just can’t figure out what to do with it to make it look warm besides putting a picture on it? It needs something?
@@deborahlehman8617 How about a large (tall) cathedral top mirror? It would help fill the space without being as visually "solid" as a piece of art. That would let you have something you feel is large enough for the space, too, which might be difficult with art. And there's the benefit of the light it reflects since you feel the loss of a window.
Love the idea of bringing in peoples specific questions or challenges, showing photos and talking through your approach to helping. I think this would be interesting because many of us have similar challenges.
Hi there! Prefer watching podcasts. Pod video ideas: 1.) Romeo's reselling business. How he got started, the evolution, how he's grown as a seller. 2.) design dilemmas, maybe grouped by room? 3.) top tools you've loved, worth the money. Also, tools not worth the money 4.) anything with your mom 5.)interview a contractor(maybe if you gain a good relationship with your kitchen contractor) ask them the biggest fixes they've had to do for diy homeowners. 6.) viewer write ins on the biggest diy mistakes that were costly or time consuming fixes.7.) topics like renovation timeline 8.) later balancing a baby and diy
[going to add my ideas as a reply to yours so it won't disappear into the void] 9) how to improve the light in a space without busting thru the wall or ceiling 10) many people approach some things in a house as unchangeable (roof, walls, etc) what are the steps needed to take to put a window where there wasn't one? I doubt you just phone up a contractor and be all 'please put a window in my brick wall, or a skylight in my roof'
love all of these! wanted to add: - fans submitting DIYs they did inspired by your content either just to show it off or to ask for help/tip to complete it if they're at a road block - budgeting for projects (how to know a good bid vs someone ripping you off) or how to find good contractors/subs!
You can definitely REPLICATE it!!! I've done it to 2 of my old frames!! use air dry clay as a mold from the other side and when it hardens, then use polymer clay, cut it, bake it, glue it, paint it!! and you're done!! :D
Don`t plan too many things for when baby comes,enjoy Motherhood take it easy .You will be supprised how much your life is going to change.Enjoy every second because it flys by so fast.
right it’s like fine that she can’t do much due to being pregnant but she could be doing design content - just seems like she’s not too passionate about helping people she just wants to do whatever she wants to do which is fine it’s just such a major shift from where her channel was.. it’s just victoria paris influencer vibes now lol
I miss your work on the cottage...those episodes got me through covid seclusion. Maybe future segments on you and Romeo finishing the cottage...your design and Romeo learning the building. Thank you.
The renovations and projects are what the OTHER channel is about! This channel is her vlog - more about what's going on in her life, what's she planning, spending time with her...
I am a podcast watcher too. Yes on the Design Dilemmas. Also, maybe a little segment occasionally on how & where to get info/help/what not to do - including interview of someone who provides that help. Designer, buyer, electrician, plumber, or anyone who's willing to share tips and tricks in their area of expertise. I LOVE "Thinking Man" on the easel.
I pretty much only listen to podcast when I'm driving and they are almost exclusively true crime or music related. I think your podcasts, although very well done were pretty much covered by your video content so it wasn't as intriguing to me.
I think you should change the podcast to “ALL the THINGS” that way you are not pigeonholed with content and let’s face it, if I hear the phrase, I think of you. With the baby coming I feel your content will be ever-changing.
Why is no one talking about the weird man, that was all up in MaCenna's Grill, behind her in the camera at the flea market!😂 he was so weird for that lol
No to podcasts please, I like the novelty of watching your content twice a week. As much as I love your content and production, I think too much content will be too much clutter! But that's just my opinion!
@@Lucinda_Jackson Lucinda, Pearl has offered her opinion. She has a right to have and express an opinion without being bullied, especially as MaCenna has asked viewers for their opinions (not just yours). I'm sure MaCenna doesn't need a bodyguard and bouncer here. 'LOL' as you say 😉
Definitely keen to hear more business related content! Always so interesting to hear how other entrepreneurs tick and overcome any road blocks along your jouney etc. Also learning more about your journey with RUclips and advice on showing up, consistency, overcoming nerves on camera and how you handle any negative comments (if you get any) or negativity online - would be so useful to know too x
I always wonder how she stays so positive publicly! I would love to hear her process and methods, she is so smart. I just don't want her to shift to a business coach, because she makes it all seem so organic, romanticizes it all, and I love that, I don't want to completely see behind the curtain lol
Lol that French girl’s booth that you bought the easel from was literally one lane over from my booth and I was selling a TELESCOPE! That would have been so crazy to sell you my telescope haha! Lmk if you want it and I’ll drive it over to you 😜
Sorry but as much as i love your you tube channels i only watched a bit of a podcast and found it not for me seemed like a lot of rambling on about stuff we had already been told
Macenna assuming you are going to get a nanny then? With your main channel, vlog channel, podcast, candle business, renovating the house and or cottage, there's no way you'll be able to do more than get dressed and attempt to keep the baby alive for the first few months. Sleep deprivation, hormone changes and adjusting to parenthood should be priority, not your channels. But you'll figure that out and then have to scale back. Also kitchen reno pre baby? You've not got long and as you know these things take far longer than you think. You won't want to cope with living in a building site with a newborn, or have the energy to do anything about it. Delusional! 😂
I hope that Sunday's video will be very long because I am very excited for it, and I am also interested in watching the podcast when it talks about topics related to interior design and solving problems that we face in design and just discussion and brainstorming, in addition to being influenced by your style and I love what you do.
❤Hi MaCenna! To restore the golden frame - Rajiv Surendra has two fantastic recent videos, in which he teaches how to restore and care for golden frames, I think you'll love it. You are looking great! 😊
For the podcast; love the idea of Macenna solving design dilemmas. Side note Aldax Silicone Putty is a great moulding medium for creating casts to repair old frames. I use it for the cast, air dry clay for the mould, paint and rub n buff to paint 👍 you’re so clever you’d have no troubles fixing your frame. Not sure about the chemicals in the putty while your pregnant tho
Design dilemma doesn't work for a podcast because there are no visuals. People want to see visual mood board ideas or before and after pics for that sort of content. Also, podcasts get a bit egotistical, boring and monotonous when all the content is about the host and their perspective. Best to invite guests on and interview them about their various areas of expertise.
Except her podcast is also a YT channel, so visual. I'm pretty sure she has the stats and that the overwhelming majority of those experienced her podcast did do visually. Which means it would work fine.
@@Lucinda_Jackson Aren't you the head cheerleader?! It is okay Lucinda to offer opinions here, in fact Macenna asked for them. By the way, the filming of the production of podcast may air on RUclips, but it is an actual audio podcast that is streamable from all the normal streaming sites. So my point stands.
I know for privacy issues, when I created a baby registry, I had the option of hiding my address. So only the things I put on the list was what I was able to receive. But I completely understand if for reasons of her own she doesn’t want to. E-gifts cards are a thing too 😅
I watch podcasts. I loved your first season but I feel like you have covered what you wanted to cover for now, so I like the idea of exploring new concepts!
I love that first picture and the lady making butter! But "the thinking man" is my favorite! Must say, there was a guy at the flea market that came right up behind that just creeped me out!!!!
I'm always so so happy to go on you tube and see you posted a new video!!! Your smile, just makes my day and I love seeing your life and how you make choices on things,.... I can't wait to see your baby and pray you still keep vlogging for memories as well as I and everyone who loves you sweetie!!!❤❤❤, love ya, Jennifer & Jeremy
Hi! I actually love watching you during your podcast! My absolute favorite is when you did them with your Mom! Love the banter and different input between you both!
Hi Macenna! It’s amazing you are continuing to work, and it’s obvious you have lots of energy and ideas in your constantly moving brain. I can tell! 😃 Here comes the unsolicited advice: It sounds to me like you and Romeo want to have more than one child. I just want to mention something I realized after second and third child came along for me. Please allow yourself to cherish and enjoy (relish really) that sweet, alone time with that first baby. It is so special! And when subsequent babies come along, that time is over. Only to say, the time with your first little boy will be so special-allow yourself that luxury. ~Cathy
I love your easel I think it’s fantastic. However, I think you forgotten… you’re going to have a baby crawling that direction! But it’s going to be a while, so enjoy. It looks beautiful.
Have you considered getting some air dry clay and a few rubber, or resin, moulds to make new trim for the picture frame that needs repair? Then you can glue the clay onto the parts that need to be repaired. You could also attempt to make your own mould directly from the frame, by using an area that is not damaged.
With season 1, I definitely felt like repetition, especially because I’ve followed your videos vlogs and socials, so it really felt like knew so much. Hence I discontinued after a few episodes. I agree with the newer ideas for sure!
I agree with the idea of donating to a charity in honor of the new baby. There are so many children’s charities out there. Eg. Operation smile. The little I know about MaCenna and Romeo, from her channel, I think they would love that idea. Plus, MaCenna has very specific tastes and doesn’t have a lot of storage space.
With My Two Hands sounds like not just about DIY's and experiences. There's a plethora of topics you could cover to include: -Your entrepreneurship experience -Best editing software you use, camera for car and moving about -Understanding your own personal style(s). You did a show discussing the different styles like MCM, French Country, English Cottage, Industrial, Modern Country, Modern, Transitional, Scandinavian , Art Deco etc., when you lived in the apartment (regarding art decor). I've visited so many people's homes and its a hodge-podge of styles, with no clear direction or how to even elevate or identify what they want their home to look and feel. Home is our safe haven, our space of peace, calm, joy and our mental break from the world's chaos. You have a real eye for design for complimenting colors for your walls and trim, art & home décor. We need your help and expertise talking about those really simple things. The platform is yours! I'm interested in Romeo's T-shirt business too!
It's a vlog. It's not meant to be "new", it's meant to be her sharing her daily life. And it IS new - new trip, new find, new piece of decor to be styled.
You are looking so amazing during your pregnancy, can’t describe how much you are glowing ❤😊 loving your vlogs and can’t wait to see the next video of the nursery!! The theme is awesome!
I don’t listen to podcasts. But I love it when you go thrifting, to the flea markets and estate sales and bring us along and show us how you decorate with your findings.
Your new ideas for the podcast is a great idea…I’m not a big podcast listener…I prefer visuals…so I appreciate the video versions. I would love to send you our kitchen design dilemma…and Thinking Man is a definite…its perfect.
I do not know if it’s just me, but I’m not feeling this new vlog style. I love your main channel videos and you put so much work into them, it feels so different, these random vlogs. I’m not saying I don’t like your content just saying it’s new and taking some time to get used to. Not hating, please do take this as constructive criticism 😊
Regarding your podcasts, I think you might struggle to do them once the baby arrives as you will be very tired from sleepless nights, breastfeeding and general mom stuff as well as trying to film for both your channels and posting on your other social media channels, running a business etc. Don't overstretch yourself, see how it goes, but you already do the work of 3 women and having a baby is a life changing experience so maybe wait and see rather than trying to do too much.
I saw a chateau renovation channel where they use silicone molds to cast the missing ornate trim. Then, they used resin and poured that into the molds. They did ornate wall mouldings as well as repaired old frames for their chateau renovation.
As someone who has been baby proofing our house for our 1 year old, I’m laughing at the easel and the little ladders😅 its cute decor but it’s not gonna last long
As for podcasts, I definitely prefer a video style podcast. That’s the only way it holds my full attention. I have to watch and see what my ears are hearing. Listening alone, my attention strays and I end up not knowing what I just listened to.
I'm more of a podcast watcher rather than a listener. I like the idea of you helping people with design dilemmas. I think the only downside to that would be that for the people listening, you'd have to describe any photos sent in but I'm sure you could.
I enjoy watching podcasts lately more than listening. I personally would love to see the segment on design dilemmas cause I'm struggling in trying to find a style of my own.😂 I never really considered it before I started watching you.
I love the idea of your podcast including answering questions about dilemmas. I started following you because of your solutions in a rental space. I have been renting since 2011 and sometimes struggle with how to make it feel like my space. I love your style and your Mom’s style for gaining inspiration.
I love the way Kinsley climbs over your chair like a cat. I had a yorkie-poodle growing up who did that and now we have HUGE dogs but weirdly I do miss that.
I would change the title of the Podcast to “All the Things”. I think that it would give you so much more flexibility to talk about the business, help people with design issues (love this idea) and let people send stuff into you to answer and explore ‘All the Things’. It gives you a chance to try different formats and find your niche. That is my two cents as a former marketing director. Whatever you do it will be amazing! I really respect your branding and the quality of your products. BTW…I love watching podcasts on RUclips. If you change the name of the podcast to “All the Things” , I ask that you send me a candle or two. Lol
One could get creative with the name by changing up spelling or adding in the “XO” branding. I often found creative ways to TM names that I wanted with my attorneys.
Coming from a new mom of a 4 month old and just buying a house and moving a week before she was due, I was like you with all these plans and visions for our home. However, since she’s been here it’s been hard to just keep up with things I enjoy. Granted my husband and I do work full time outside of the home, but on my days off it’s 100% attention on the little one wether I wanted to do something that day or not. You do get used to doing stuff while they’re awake and they will get to a point where they entertain themselves better, but you still have to stop in the middle of things to go take care of them. So just give yourself grace to not get it all done because that will happen. And rest! I know you hear that a lot and I did too, but I didn’t actually understand the need until I was just burnt out and exhausted, even now at 4 months. Just learn motherhood and do stuff a little at a time. I thought I would still be able to get everything done/decorated how I wanted while having a newborn but that was definitely not the case and we are blessed with a healthy baby so that isn’t even the issue.
Hello everyone! I have to say, I don't listen to podcasts at all. If I am creative, I have classic music in the background. One idea for the time, when your baby is here I had, is to do "mood board"-creating episodes. People send you a link for an item, they want to design a room around, and you could do a mood board for them and make an episode around it. That would be something I would listen to.
Something that Drew does that I like, and wish you would do since I love your style, is to take some of your fan’s pictures of their difficult rooms and offer suggestions how you would style or decorate the space.
I would NEVER miss an episode of your podcast if you did design dilemmas!!! I’d LIVE for it!
As A Mom. Don’t over fill your schedule. In the second half of the year. You wont be able to keep up. Enjoy being a Mom you have waited so long for this. Let go of some things. Give yourself grace in the next few months Your life is going to change So much you don’t Even Know. love to you all

With your main channel, vlog channel, podcast, candle business, renovating the house and or cottage, there's no way you'll be able to do more than get dressed and attempt to keep the baby alive for the first few months. Sleep deprivation, hormone changes and adjusting to parenthood should be priority, not your channels. But you'll figure that out and then have to scale back. Also kitchen reno pre baby? You've not got long and as you know these things take far longer than you think. You won't want to cope with living in a building site with a newborn, or have the energy to do anything about it. Delusional! 😂
Totally. Glad to see that some people watching here have a minimum of good sense. This vlog is totally surreal to me.
It was hilarious seeing Romeo blocking the sun when he was wearing a hat 😅
I hope that Sunday's video will be very long because I am very excited for it, and I am also interested in watching the podcast when it talks about topics related to interior design and solving problems that we face in design and just discussion and brainstorming, in addition to being influenced by your style and I love what you do.
MaCenna, Rajiv Surendra posted a video last week on how to repair old frames like the one you have. This is definitely something you can DIY ❤
Yes! This is the best answer! Loved his video!
He did a wonderful video on frame repair@
❤Hi MaCenna! To restore the golden frame - Rajiv Surendra has two fantastic recent videos, in which he teaches how to restore and care for golden frames, I think you'll love it. You are looking great! 😊
I was looking for a comment where someone mentioned his videos! They were super interesting to watch
I was also looking if someone had posted this.
I agree! I love his videos as much as MaCennas
Ugh your cute little bump at 14:32! I am so happy for your and Romeo ♥️
For the podcast; love the idea of Macenna solving design dilemmas.
Side note Aldax Silicone Putty is a great moulding medium for creating casts to repair old frames. I use it for the cast, air dry clay for the mould, paint and rub n buff to paint 👍 you’re so clever you’d have no troubles fixing your frame. Not sure about the chemicals in the putty while your pregnant tho
Design dilemma doesn't work for a podcast because there are no visuals. People want to see visual mood board ideas or before and after pics for that sort of content. Also, podcasts get a bit egotistical, boring and monotonous when all the content is about the host and their perspective. Best to invite guests on and interview them about their various areas of expertise.
Except her podcast is also a YT channel, so visual. I'm pretty sure she has the stats and that the overwhelming majority of those experienced her podcast did do visually. Which means it would work fine.
@@Lucinda_Jackson Aren't you the head cheerleader?! It is okay Lucinda to offer opinions here, in fact Macenna asked for them. By the way, the filming of the production of podcast may air on RUclips, but it is an actual audio podcast that is streamable from all the normal streaming sites. So my point stands.
All the parenting tips in the comments are making me cringe. Do you girly, its your life, your family, not ours
Could you post your baby registries?!!! 🙏🏼 Please let us give back a little of the happiness you have brought us with all your videos 😊
There are probably privacy issues that can arise from sharing something like that on RUclips. I wouldn’t do it.
Imagine 😂 her house isn’t that big
@@jmbismeI've seen many channels dropping Amazon Wishlists yt doesn't seem to care tbh
I know for privacy issues, when I created a baby registry, I had the option of hiding my address. So only the things I put on the list was what I was able to receive. But I completely understand if for reasons of her own she doesn’t want to. E-gifts cards are a thing too 😅
🙄
I do not watch or listen to podcasts.
I watch podcasts. I loved your first season but I feel like you have covered what you wanted to cover for now, so I like the idea of exploring new concepts!
Remind Romeo that the brim of his hat will shade his eyes from the sun!😂 Love, love, love that easel!!!
I love that first picture and the lady making butter! But "the thinking man" is my favorite! Must say, there was a guy at the flea market that came right up behind that just creeped me out!!!!
I'm always so so happy to go on you tube and see you posted a new video!!! Your smile, just makes my day and I love seeing your life and how you make choices on things,.... I can't wait to see your baby and pray you still keep vlogging for memories as well as I and everyone who loves you sweetie!!!❤❤❤, love ya, Jennifer & Jeremy
I may be wrong, but most art on an easel is not framed...
Hi! I actually love watching you during your podcast! My absolute favorite is when you did them with your Mom! Love the banter and different input between you both!
Hi Macenna! It’s amazing you are continuing to work, and it’s obvious you have lots of energy and ideas in your constantly moving brain. I can tell! 😃 Here comes the unsolicited advice:
It sounds to me like you and Romeo want to have more than one child.
I just want to mention something I realized after second and third child came along for me.
Please allow yourself to cherish and enjoy (relish really) that sweet, alone time with that first baby. It is so special! And when subsequent babies come along, that time is over. Only to say, the time with your first little boy will be so special-allow yourself that luxury. ~Cathy
I love your easel I think it’s fantastic. However, I think you forgotten… you’re going to have a baby crawling that direction! But it’s going to be a while, so enjoy. It looks beautiful.
Have you considered getting some air dry clay and a few rubber, or resin, moulds to make new trim for the picture frame that needs repair? Then you can glue the clay onto the parts that need to be repaired. You could also attempt to make your own mould directly from the frame, by using an area that is not damaged.
With season 1, I definitely felt like repetition, especially because I’ve followed your videos vlogs and socials, so it really felt like knew so much. Hence I discontinued after a few episodes. I agree with the newer ideas for sure!
I absolutely love the design dilemmas!!!!!!
I love the thinking man there .
I agree with the idea of donating to a charity in honor of the new baby. There are so many children’s charities out there. Eg. Operation smile. The little I know about MaCenna and Romeo, from her channel, I think they would love that idea. Plus, MaCenna has very specific tastes and doesn’t have a lot of storage space.
With My Two Hands sounds like not just about DIY's and experiences. There's a plethora of topics you could cover to include:
-Your entrepreneurship experience
-Best editing software you use, camera for car and moving about
-Understanding your own personal style(s). You did a show discussing the different styles like MCM, French Country, English Cottage, Industrial, Modern Country, Modern, Transitional, Scandinavian , Art Deco etc., when you lived in the apartment (regarding art decor).
I've visited so many people's homes and its a hodge-podge of styles, with no clear direction or how to even elevate or identify what they want their home to look and feel.
Home is our safe haven, our space of peace, calm, joy and our mental break from the world's chaos.
You have a real eye for design for complimenting colors for your walls and trim, art & home décor. We need your help and expertise talking about those really simple things. The platform is yours! I'm interested in Romeo's T-shirt business too!
All you ever post is flea market shopping. This is not new.
It's a vlog. It's not meant to be "new", it's meant to be her sharing her daily life. And it IS new - new trip, new find, new piece of decor to be styled.
@@Lucinda_Jackson it’s boring. Should be called “Shopping for more Garbage.”
Love the idea of design dilemas. Looking forward to seeing the nursery and real excited about upcoming kitchen remodel!
You are looking so amazing during your pregnancy, can’t describe how much you are glowing ❤😊 loving your vlogs and can’t wait to see the next video of the nursery!! The theme is awesome!
I don’t listen to podcasts. But I love it when you go thrifting, to the flea markets and estate sales and bring us along and show us how you decorate with your findings.
Your new ideas for the podcast is a great idea…I’m not a big podcast listener…I prefer visuals…so I appreciate the video versions. I would love to send you our kitchen design dilemma…and Thinking Man is a definite…its perfect.
MaCaenna. Please take time for yourself. Make the most of some time for you and give your brain a rest lol
I loved those podcasts you had someone with you to talk to
I do not know if it’s just me, but I’m not feeling this new vlog style. I love your main channel videos and you put so much work into them, it feels so different, these random vlogs. I’m not saying I don’t like your content just saying it’s new and taking some time to get used to. Not hating, please do take this as constructive criticism 😊
Flea markets, Kinsley and YOU ! Perfect way to spend a rainy day, watching your video!!!
Regarding your podcasts, I think you might struggle to do them once the baby arrives as you will be very tired from sleepless nights, breastfeeding and general mom stuff as well as trying to film for both your channels and posting on your other social media channels, running a business etc.
Don't overstretch yourself, see how it goes, but you already do the work of 3 women and having a baby is a life changing experience so maybe wait and see rather than trying to do too much.
Love the thinking man w out a frame...it looks deliberate ❤
I watch the video version of a podcast, I would be interested hearing the business side and design stuff
I saw a chateau renovation channel where they use silicone molds to cast the missing ornate trim. Then, they used resin and poured that into the molds. They did ornate wall mouldings as well as repaired old frames for their chateau renovation.
I saw on Escape to the dream chateau Terry
Yes! I've seen this on several channels for several different kinds of applications
Love what they’re doing at Escape to the Dream!
I prefer to watch my podcasts. Is like to know more about the business side.
Ugh, I wish I would’ve said hi when I saw you at the flea! 😭
Yes, I would be bummed out if I didn’t say hello, I’ve been a fan for many years 🐾❤
@@LindaFoyle I got so shy and didn’t want to bug them!!
As someone who has been baby proofing our house for our 1 year old, I’m laughing at the easel and the little ladders😅 its cute decor but it’s not gonna last long
What a blessing to have a fruit baring tree❤
As for podcasts, I definitely prefer a video style podcast. That’s the only way it holds my full attention. I have to watch and see what my ears are hearing. Listening alone, my attention strays and I end up not knowing what I just listened to.
Video podcast please…
I'm more of a podcast watcher rather than a listener. I like the idea of you helping people with design dilemmas. I think the only downside to that would be that for the people listening, you'd have to describe any photos sent in but I'm sure you could.
I enjoy watching podcasts lately more than listening. I personally would love to see the segment on design dilemmas cause I'm struggling in trying to find a style of my own.😂 I never really considered it before I started watching you.
the hair always looks so perfect and healthy 😫 what products do you use
Hi MaCenna! When is part 2 of the nursery makeover coming out? 🥹
On Sunday.
I wouldn’t watch a podcast about the business side of social media but am always interested in design dilemmas.
I love the idea of your podcast including answering questions about dilemmas. I started following you because of your solutions in a rental space. I have been renting since 2011 and sometimes struggle with how to make it feel like my space. I love your style and your Mom’s style for gaining inspiration.
Hi beautiful awesome work💝💝💞💝❤💝💞💝💝💜💝💜💞♥💟💛💜💝❤❤👍👍👍
Ahh I loved Vermeer’s Milkmaid on the easel!
The colors looked beautiful there.
I love the way Kinsley climbs over your chair like a cat. I had a yorkie-poodle growing up who did that and now we have HUGE dogs but weirdly I do miss that.
I actually like it better unframed on the easel
Art on the easel without a frame makes more sense to me.
A series on the podcast named “What would XOMaCenna do?” where you answer design and DIY questions 😊
The business side of things would be super interesting since I want my own business one day!!
Maybe make the podcasts at the most half an hour. I think I enjoy your other videos because you are doing things and not just sitting there talking.
Magic Kinsley at 22:40. 😂 Yes, would love a design dilemmas segment.
Someone may have said this but unframed art makes a lot more sense than framed art on an easel-think about it! 😎
Romeo using his hand to block the sun instead of his hat made me lol
I would change the title of the Podcast to “All the Things”. I think that it would give you so much more flexibility to talk about the business, help people with design issues (love this idea) and let people send stuff into you to answer and explore ‘All the Things’. It gives you a chance to try different formats and find your niche. That is my two cents as a former marketing director. Whatever you do it will be amazing! I really respect your branding and the quality of your products.
BTW…I love watching podcasts on RUclips. If you change the name of the podcast to “All the Things” , I ask that you send me a candle or two. Lol
I love that name! Wonder if there's already one by that name, though...
One could get creative with the name by changing up spelling or adding in the “XO” branding. I often found creative ways to TM names that I wanted with my attorneys.
So excited to witness your journey
Coming from a new mom of a 4 month old and just buying a house and moving a week before she was due, I was like you with all these plans and visions for our home. However, since she’s been here it’s been hard to just keep up with things I enjoy. Granted my husband and I do work full time outside of the home, but on my days off it’s 100% attention on the little one wether I wanted to do something that day or not. You do get used to doing stuff while they’re awake and they will get to a point where they entertain themselves better, but you still have to stop in the middle of things to go take care of them. So just give yourself grace to not get it all done because that will happen.
And rest! I know you hear that a lot and I did too, but I didn’t actually understand the need until I was just burnt out and exhausted, even now at 4 months. Just learn motherhood and do stuff a little at a time. I thought I would still be able to get everything done/decorated how I wanted while having a newborn but that was definitely not the case and we are blessed with a healthy baby so that isn’t even the issue.
Romeo at the flea market shielding his eyes from the sun while wearing a backwards hat 😂 Made me giggle. Love you guys! ❤
Hello everyone!
I have to say, I don't listen to podcasts at all. If I am creative, I have classic music in the background.
One idea for the time, when your baby is here I had, is to do "mood board"-creating episodes. People send you a link for an item, they want to design a room around, and you could do a mood board for them and make an episode around it. That would be something I would listen to.
The $4 Vermeer is my favorite… I love it
Could Kingsley be anymore Adorable 🥰 .
Love that flea market. To bad I'm in Michigan 😅 Thank you for taking us along with you guys
