As a home designer, I'm continually impressed (but not surprised) by your styling skills, your ability to jump into a project knowing nothing & ending up with something that looks professional, and the ability to do it all on a much more realistic budget. You've single-handedly got me thinking that I'm able to build my own tiny house, when before I thought I couldn't, and I'm not even mad about it 😅
I think there are tones of people who do excellent work without it being there profession
Doesn’t make any difference a good job is a good job
Age isn’t experience and experience is age defined
Im also a designer
@@hazel1960 exactly my thoughts
Thanks so much!!!
Age teachs you alot about mistakes, but MaCenna is a nautral, from her mother's guidance advice & experience. So helpful I'm sure. But her own vision has alot to do with how it's all going to look in the end.
@@XOMaCenna Hi MaCenna, how do you clean your decorative/tapestry pillows? Do you just throw them in the wash and dryer? I just thrifted some beautiful ones and don’t want to ruin them.
You really need to add a library ladder in your kitchen. I always wanted one. So useful with those high cabinets and so architectural.
You are so talented and so brave to take on all you have. Your house is looking wonderful.
Wow , what A Wonderful but Grand idea...Now this is Like Watching "Welcome to the Chateau"; Episode of those Wonderful Old Castles in France & Their Struggles with Money & Pushing themselves to the Brink Remodeling & their Challenges on those Episodes...This Young Women Ms McCenna is One Talented Determined Queen of Accomplishments whose Soul must be born to do this Kinda Work it's Differently in Her DNA those traits come with Great 👍 Fortitude,Determination, Stubbornness, and Great Planning Skills ...and Great Parents to Inspire Each Other... WOW 😍 Amazingly Interesting Thanks 🙏 for Sharing it All with Your Fans...
Oh my goodness I remember when you were building those patio chairs in LA and look at you now! This room is going to be absolutely gorgeous when you’re done. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Haha crazy right!!! Still love those charis
I was thinking the same thing; she learned to make pocket holes while making those chairs, I believe.
Right!!! I think about that all the time! She had come so far
Definitely 22 minutes for this series are not enough. Knowing that we'll have to wait a whole week to see what's next is a torture! This is so addictive!
Are you subscribed to MaCenna's other channel as well? It's XO MaCenna Vlogs & she posts a couple videos a week there & shows the behind the scenes. One video per week of MaCenna is definitely not enough! 😅
@@LindaKayHolevas yes I am. Love it as much as her main channel btw. But still we'll have to wait for next week to see the "final" result 😅
@@elodiecorea7798 - I totally understand where you are coming from! I am so invested in this cottage & it sounds like you are too! 😅
I would love to see a side by side or overlay of the old floor plan with the new floor plan. I have had a hard time visualizing where everything on the old plan was since it was more chopped up.
Yesssss plz
Yessss
I got emotional at the end of your video. You and Romeo lifting the cabinets together. Your willingness to learn and put yourself out there on this home is so inspiring. You have helped so many people with just your positive spirit alone. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us it’s been an honour to watch you thus far! Keep up the fabulous work xxx
If you want to cover the seam on your beams, have your dad weld a hammered/old-looking rod iron piece to wrap around it. It would add character and look intentional!
Genius
Sounds good. FYI - The proper wording for what you describe is not called, rod iron. It is referred to as; “wrought iron.” 👍😘
Great idea!
That’s a little too country for this kind of kitchen
@@fuuuuuuuism I think it fits in country cottage farm , Spanish and others. It is in old homes in Europe from English , German to Spanish styles and more. The difference is how it is done. That is what makes it fit. Example a unhammered wide piece is tutor homes and the castels with their cottages have thinner I believe. The wide hammered in Spanish homes. Sorry tired I'm just meaning to inspire you to look.
I’m so happy that you are adding glass doors to the uppermost cabinets!! I prefer when cabinets go all the way to the ceiling, but I know they’re hard to reach. I love the idea of having glass doors and lights so that you can decorate and showcase beautiful dishes.
I never cared for kitchen cabinets that left open the area between ceiling and cabinet. Just seemed one more area to clean and kitchens are a pain to clean what with grease droplets in the air
I don't use the top shelf in my cabinets, but it's there maybe for the next owner. .
Each new element evokes a "Oooo, yes!" response. With the total vision drawing closer, I find myself almost holding my breath in anticipation!
Never have I clicked so fast. We are renovating our kitchen next week!
So excitingggg!!!!!
@@XOMaCenna omgoodness you replied. We just bought a 1910 Victorian Cottage in the TN foothills in July. My husband and I are just starting out with three kids. I love your designs and you have definitely inspired me to make changes. Thank you so much for the ideas and motivation! I am only 27 and appreciate the vote of confidence that you have for your viewers. x
Me too ❤
@@theschulzes9535 I'm in Tennessee. 👋 Good luck on the cottage.
@@annh. Thank you, ma'am!
Love following your journey! You’ve given me such motivation! One option for the light switch - change it to a smart switch then you won’t even need to turn it on manually too often in the cabinet
Sooo smart!!!! Yes!!!
Also install dimmer option for beneath cabinet lighting. Rebecca Robeson tip. Ultra lux evening subtlety. Also separate dimmer option above island. Mood. Mood. Mood.
You’re creating such a beautiful space. Thank you for letting us follow along on the journey.♥️
Thank you so much!
I cant stop thinking about your grandkids being in this house in the future and watching back this footage and saying “omg how cool is it that my grandma and grandpa built these cabinets by hand” and it makes me happy to think about :)
I am so beyond amazed at how your skills have involved over the years. I remember when I started watching your channel, thinking you were a beauty blogger who did some diys. This woman you have become is truly inspiring. You can now call yourself a designer and a carpenter. You built this house from the ground up. I cannot say enough truly inspired I am by you. I get in my head a lot about not being able to build the life I want but you, Macenna, you make it seem attainable. Thank you for sharing your story with us, for being honest and growing in front of us. Thank you.
Stopping the background music as you question yourself and starting it again when you decide was a MASTERFUL touch 🤣🤌🏼
I absolutely loved Romeo’s hat. I loved seeing the kitchen come together too.
I think Macenna has found her editor. There's a change in editing style (subtle) and some very cool additions. Loving them!
Still me editing my renovation videos 🥰 I’m just trying to incorporate fresh elements
Wow...Impressive
@@XOMaCenna wow! I was wondering if you could do a behind the scenes on how you film these renovation videos. You have inspired me to start my own channel but it’s kind of scary and any tips and pointers would be so appreciated! Absolutely love everything you do! You amaze me! Lol
@@XOMaCenna And she does the video editing herself too! OMG Macenna, are you a superhero or something? Wanda Maximoff perhaps?🤭♥️
Love watching the “Teamwork to make the Dreamwork” between you and Romeo! It is beautiful to see your sweat equity & vision blossom before our eyes ❤
Definitely A Great Pairing of two Marvelously Gifted Soul's 😍💯%❤️❤️❤️❤️
I took down my cabinets in my laundry room about 6 months ago to renovated it. I still haven't even been back on the project and McCenna has built an entire house! 😭🤣
Lighting is my favourite part in decor. If it were upto me I'd live in a light store with fairy lights and a cushion. This looks SO GOOD!!!
I wonder if, down the road, they'll add back in that 6" extension. Still seem a bit high.
Oh my gosh, same! I have a small apartment, but my lighting decor is what I receive compliments on the most:) . If you ever need a roommate in your lighting store, let me know, lol. I'll bring my own cushion & fairy lights 😘.
@@LindaKayHolevas Haha 😂 Most definitely!
you could also change the switch to a smart switch so you can control it without having to physically flip the cabinet underlighting on and off! looks great so far!
Yes that’s so smart and that way they can just be on a schedule.
Your window boxes are DIVINE!!
The vintage slats and color are beautiful - Way to go
What a boss honestly ! Soooo many people would never have the guts to tackle something this intimidating, men or women !
And i also love how Romeo is just helping out, but completely recognises you as the expert and lets you carry heavy stuff and everything, because he sees just how powerful and fierce you are, and no damsel in distress !
You know my favorite part is how you pay homage to the old design. For example the beams, the rosettes in the living room, the boxed windows. It just makes me so happy and warm on the inside for some reason.
Also how you are making your own cabinets is just soooo special to me. I just how much more dedicated can you be?
OMG! Once again, you amaze me. No fear. No hesitation. Remarkable, you are simply remarkable! I love that you share with us. I love this channel.
Aww McKenna and Romeo!! I find myself getting so excited along with you guys for these awesome things you have achieved at such a young age. Add to that all the great building wisdom you are imparting, although it's so hard to concentrate when Kinsley is so freaking cute trotting around lol
You’re such an inspiration ! I now feel comfortable to take over my renovations ❤❤❤ thank you for being a role model to females!!
Not gunna lie I was kinda expecting you to build pocket doors for that long cabinet on the opposite side of the fridge. Lol. MaCenna you never cease to amaze me.
A tip for having the cabinets go all the way to the counter top; leave a little gap (like 1/4in) between the wood cabinet box and counter which you can hide with some decorative trim. When water gets over there from the counter it won't damage the actual cabinet boxes, just the trim which you can easily replace when it gets dingy looking. I learned this the hard way in my bathroom reno! Lots of love, you are so inspiring!!
You are coming along! All your hard work and dedication is finally coming together!! Your kitchen is amazing!!
You made me yell at the screen: “Macenna, why are you staining without gloves???” Protect that beautiful skin girlfriend 😊 Love how the kitchen is coming along and the trim for the bottom of upper cabinets is called skirting. It will definitely finish it off nicely. So excited for you both to get this done & enjoy it!
As I'm getting ready to tackle my own reno project it's so nice to see another woman doing the work. I love how you explain the design elements and show the actual process. Most of the other diyers I watch teach technique but not design. Keep up the awesome work!
I can't help but gasp every time there is a shot in front of the master bedroom doors... they are just so beautiful to me.
I can't wait for you to have a baby bump and get to renovate a nursery for your baby with Romeo 🥺❤️
And Christmas decor with your baby omgggggg I'm going to cry! 🥺
I feel so inspired by the vision you have for your home and I hope that I can do this with my family next year.
I’m just so excited for all of the progress you’ve made!!! Everything is so beautiful!!!! So proud of you!! ❤
I stay up on youtube just checkin for updates. You're incredible Macenna and I can't wait to see your home finished!
Awww thank you so much!
I cannot believe how things were and how they are now. The windows are my favourite part of the kitchen……….. the island too, ………. Ok everything I love. It will turn out absolutely amazing! I love the fact that sooooooo long I have been watching your videos you can do so many things and your creativity is fantastic! I believe when we see the house finally done it will be an epic video.
I am 48 and watching your videos made me energised and thinking that I can do it.
I Wish you strength and patience. ❤
I am ‘thanking you later,’ as you suggested, for the corner clamps. When we downsized and moved, a guy disassembled and reassembled our bookshelves. But he did it by making everything level which meant that the shelves weren’t plumb because our new home is an older home with various slopes in the floors. The shelves ended up with a weird skewed look. Because of you, I bought 90 degree (corner)clamps, took the shelves apart, used the clamps to make everything square, and then screwed them together. What a difference! Thank you so much! Did you know you were a teacher as well as a DIYer and home decor designer?
Already!? You just posted the last one. I hope you know how impressively fast, productive and talented you are. Truly a superwomam💗
Those lights are gorgeous
Something to consider, DIY Wife bought a crown moulding tool (I think same maker as your blue pocket screw tool) that she said was definitely worth it. Game changer.
I know mitered corners can be very tricky, especially with crown moulding.
I can't wait for next week's episode!
I love your power stance when you’ve accomplished something new. You can accomplish anything you set your mind too!
You definitely motivate me to get my projects done in my house.
The cabinets are coming along wonderfully. It is so amazing to watch.
I am crying…. Why didn’t you renovate 3 years ago I could have saved thousands of rands (South Africa) by making my own kitchen cupboards…. You make it all look so easy!!!
Love the work you doing and the videos you manage to make ❤❤
Everything is looking wonderful. You saved so much money doing the work yourself.
I’m always sad when the video is over. They’re all so good & informative, but I’m excited for next Sunday and will be tuned in on the vlog channel.
I’m excited to see the cabinetry done it going to look finished!
Stunning. Your design talent is shining through brilliantly
This kitchen just makes my heart throb! Between you and Drew, I’m so in love with watching home renovation/decoration videos. And, I think about the possibility you and Romeo buy a house in L.A. by the time you’re through with this one!
Love love love those lights over the island!
LOVE the new camera shot from above when you were doing the woodworking, so professional and a fun way to see how you are working! I always look forward to your uploads every week, thank you for helping me unwind and I have so much fun hanging out with you!
The cabinets WOW!!!!!!
So exciting to see the cabinets going up!
Look forward to this every Sunday. We’re remodeling too so it’s very inspirational.
if in a few decades somebody tries to tear that house down i WILL chain myself to these cabinets
I am SO inspired by you! You’re just out there figuring stuff out and then building it and making it look beautiful!!!!
Constantly in awe of your work! Can’t wait to see it finished with all the beautiful kitchen decor!!!
Your videos are so relaxing and inspiring… just what I need to start off new week! Loving the progress, can’t wait for the next update 😍🤌🏽
You continue to blow me away!! There is NOTHING you can't do and I am so impressed and proud of you! ❤️
You genuinely inspire me so much! I didn't grow up with much, but I'm trying to set myself up for a better life. You give me so much faith in myself to be able to have a beautiful home like this one day, keep it up! Your home is going to be a GEM in your neighborhood, probably for a long long time after we're old a grey❤️
I love it!!!It's prefect idea the glass cabin doors with stain inside!!!Can't wait to see the next project!!!So excited!!!❤
The cabinets are looking great! So glad you brought little Kinsley in at the end. So freaking cute!
Beautiful doesn’t even begin to say how gorgeous your home is and it’s all made with your expertise vision,planning,going for it til you get your desired effect-and we can’t forget the respect and keeping the integrity of the home and with a open and loving heart-
MACENNAAAA you are a wizard. I love seeing your updates every week! Brings me so much joy + has become part of my routine! Can't wait to see the kitchen (and the rest of the house) continue to fully come together! YEEEP!!!
It’s going to be so beautiful, MaCenna! With each completed project, I see it taking shape more and more!
MaCenna you inspired me so much, im so proud of you for how far you’ve come!! looking so amazing! Taking notes for my new house 😉
Wow it's coming together nicely. You have outdone yourself. You really can build anything. Thank you for sharing this with us MaCenna ❤ .
You are such an inspiration! 🥰🥰🥰
You are such a pleasure to watch. And you explain everything so well. As a designer I am so impressed by your create talent, and energy. A 👍
You need the Kreg Rip-cut jig for your circular saw. For $50 it makes sure you cut straight lines across plywood sheets without all the extra measuring.👍🏽❤️
I can’t wait to see it finished!!!!
How exciting to see upper cabinets and lighting. Your dream is coming to fruition. Looking incredible MaCenna. ❤
Just beautiful.
Wow, they upper cabinets give a grandeur appearance to the kitchen. Everything looks so nice.
Witnessing the transformations during this process (been here for a couple of years now😊) has been so inspiring. We’re currently trying to wrap up a few lingering home projects. With three kids running around, it’s definitely been challenging. However, each time I watch one of your videos, I’m motivated to keep going. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us.
You haven't finished but I'm already in love with your kitchen!!!
I am just in awe of everything that you accomplish 🤩. Your ability of seeing everything come together and your attention to every little detail. I am just so impressed MaCenna 👏👏💖💞💖
I think the new cabinet design for the right side was a great idea. The kitchen is already stunning and it’s not even done yet!
Well done as always! It is coming along and can’t wait to see the finished kitchen!
Those are the lights we used in our kitchen over our island when we had our home built. Love them for both the functionality and the aesthetic
Right on time!!!!
MaCenna…one part architect, one part acrobat, one part designer, one part builder, one part electrician, one part painter/stainer, one whole bunch of amazingness! You rock, gf!👏👏🥰
Don’t forget one part doggie Mama! 🥰
@@CheriJ11 how could I have forgotten Kinsley? 😳🥰
The island lights are gorgeous
The cabinets looks so beautiful!!! Can't wait for the next week episode
I just had to come on here and tell you how much I truely enjoy your videos. I’m a “ designer” at heart and watching you get things done makes me so happy.
