@@XOMaCenna ribbed glass for the doors???? Etched glass or just plain? But definitely glass doors and topper! You've done an amazing job with everything so far... bravo 👏🤌👌
Yes to Drew decorating the guest bedroom ! Just watched your video with the landlord earlier. Brought tears to my eyes. . You have the best aesthetic & you guys are my fave ever ! 🥰
"Yes" to adding glass doors to your gorgeous cabinet! "Yes Yes Yes" to finding some vintage wavy glass to use! And "yes" to finding a beautifully ornate topper! You are so incredibly talented, MaCenna. And so extremely inspirational.
I would always recommend doors, just simply so you don’t have to dust as much lol And I agree with a varnish or a finishing wax on the cabinet would finish it off nicely!
Doors: YES (especially watching that open flame next to your towels 🫣) haha. Topper: YES 🙌 Also, would you consider adding a glossy varnish to the cabinet? The flatness of the current stain is making it feel a little unfinished. But it’s still so amazing and I can’t believe (but not surprised) you made that yourself!
I agree with you completely Danielle, a nice glossy varnish with the topper & glass door would send your hutch so far over the top, it would be absolutely amazing!! I also think adding some greenery would be just one more added plus!! You are amazing we’ll really beyond amazing, I can’t for all the episodes to come!! XOXO 👏🌸💗💗💗💗
Surprised I don’t see more people mentioning this, yes, I think a glossy finish would make it look more antique and finished and would even out some of the different undertones of the wood that are showing through. Loved the video and such an amazing job on the cabinet, it looks amazing!
That is exactly what that cabinet needs. A glossy finish!! Something felt off, but I figured doors and topper would finish it, but I agree, a gloss to that bad boy…. *chefs kiss*
Yes to the doors & the toppers! I wish you’d trade the woven basket on the bottom right shelf out with an antique tray. I actually like seeing the bottles and that basket seems overpowering and covers too much of the bird picture IMO
Absolutely beautiful! Now: Show of hands, how many of you watching this, Squealed with delight and did the happy hand claps 👋👋👋 (like McCenna and Romeo do when they're excited) when she did the final reveal? Also, Kinsley helping momma put down the new rug for the final touch, was so sweet. 🐕 🏡Comfort Cottage (Home Sweet Home) 💕💕
You appsolutely described how much we have all been so looking forward to this bathroom reveal..such a beautiful bathroom so fitting to the 100 yr old traditional cottage,s look..with a few new and antique items and beautiful cabinets and vanity..and that gorgeous roll top bath ..evdn those cute bird pictures such a lovely room, exerlent !!
Here is a tip: Stain all your wood first before putting together your project. I was looking at my hutch from the 1970's. It was my parents and they bought it used. Its built really well. Stain first your wood. Then you can assemble it all together and save yourself the extra work. Plus, I would add a finisher to your wood to protect it from the elements in the bathroom. I know it won't be used as much. Wood, is funny sometimes and can easily get chipped or get water stains on it. Just a few tips that came to my mind that I want to share with you. Beautiful bathroom. Yes to the topper for sure!!! :)
You have come such a long way with your DIY skills! That cabinet is so beautiful and I am so impressed that you built it! YES to the glass doors for sure and YES to the topper. I think the one you currently have fits the scale of the cabinet nicely.
When you’re ready to add plants I think you’d love: Satin pothos (trailing plaint, super easy to care for) would be cute on top of cabinet. Rubber plant (grows tall and skinny, super easy. Stem turns into a branch at one point and rich tones) My favorite, a tiny Angel wing begonia (grows tall slowly, has pink hues sometimes. Easy to keep the size you want with pruning. But is a tropical plant so it will thrive in a humid bathroom. Liked warmth and frequent waters 2 times a week is enough but will get mad if not watered hehe) All do great in ceramic pots! 💕
I wanted her to put a plant on the window sill, or hanging infront of the window, in the corner near the towels. Or, a standing plant next to the tub behind the stool 😌
I honestly feel emotional seeing everything come together. I’ve been watching since you bought the house and its so beautiful and amazing. You’re doing such a stunning job! Design is basically my whole life, I’m going to school for it and I just got my dream job designing custom cabinetry. You are such an inspiration to me and I can not wait to see everything else you will accomplish ❤️
This looks great! If the curtains make you feel joy, keep them. From a design perspective for myself, I think they do tone the room towards "grandma's house" and away from the chic look. Perhaps a linen with black horizontal stripes would modernize it just a little bit. But again, this is my perspective and if the curtains make you feel joyful, by all means keep them.
This bathroom makeover has been such a beautiful journey to watch. Gosh, I remember when you demoed the kitchen cabinets all by yourself. Thank you for sharing MaCenna! 🤎
I’m in love with your handmade cafe curtains. The Peacock design in the perfect luxury symbol for the space with all the detail designs you have implemented! The colors of the flowers are a perfect compliment to the Tudor Brown also. I vote for adding the top adornment to your artisan cabinet piece, and although it looks stylish without the doors added on, I think it would be a beautiful finishing touch, and would match more closely your overall design. I love it MaCenna! Your ability to conquer the labor intensive projects is impressive, and your eye for design and your talent in putting things together in an era-correct manner is something you can’t learn in school and pull off appropriately without that innate, intuitive more spirit based quality I guess. I’m amazed to see it all come together, but not surprised.
I love this room! The curtains are the only thing I would change, I think they steal the spotlight from the pretty pennytile. And they seem a little grandmaish to me, but if you feel like they suit your vision, then absolutely hell yes keep them!
This almost made me emotional! The atmosphere in this bathroom is giving me a sense of peace and familiarity that comes from my grandparents’ house in Italy. I love seeing how all of your vision came to life so beautifully MaCenna! I would say yes for doors and topper! 😍😍😍
Yes to topper and glass! That hutch creation was incredible!! I feel like the oatmeal curtains would fit better though because the pattern takes attention away from the beautiful penny tile!
I don’t know why but I’m actually tearing up at the end of this video. You’ve come so far and your design skills have developed so beautifully. I’m currently renovating my bathroom (which is significantly smaller than this one), but you’re always in my thoughts as I pick out every detail. I hope it turns out as beautiful as your bathroom! 🥰
Macenna, I’m probably very late to this and you are unlikely going to see this. I have spent EVERY free minute of the last 3 days binge-watching your entire renovation series. Girl, YOU ARE A BOSS. Congratulations for taking this on, acing it and this wonderful space you are creating. I am now caught up and following this along in real time. I wish I would have seen vlogs from the whole year too but that’s too many videos hehe. Absolutely amazing. 💕💕💕💕
Yes, a topper would look beautiful! I think the glass doors would really bring the vintage look to it. You’ve done such a great job on everything you’ve completed. I’m so excited to see what you have in store for the other rooms. Thank you for being so giving of yourself.
Yes to doors (they’re just practical for keeping dust down but they’ll also be an opportunity to add more detail and hardware!) and yes to the topper (you’re so right and it adds that vintage feel). Looks amazing!
“Coping is not a skill I am mastering quickly…” Yep, I felt that 😅 right now I’m reeling from a break up, living in the house we own together. And watching you make this house your own is starting to give me ideas and make me feel a little better about living here alone and making it my own. ❤️
I'm sorry you're dealing with something so difficult. The fact that you can start to begin imagining a place that is your own is a great step forward. I wish you luck. You got this!
Well, if this is how beautiful and thought-out the guest bathroom is, I guess it's safe to say there will be much much more beautiful details to look forward to in the master bath. I cannot wait. 😍
I hope you save literally everything you sketch for the house and leave it even after you're gone. I'm imagining like 150 years from now someone finding it all
The topper was soooo pretty!!! Definitely would be a beautiful addition once you find the perfect one! And once you put doors on the cabinet not only will it be beautiful but it will help protect the wood veneer from humidity!
That hutch looks so good, and is the perfect addition to the space. I like the idea of glass doors, but I think keeping them simple and square, rather than adding cut out trim details would look best. And I think a cool topper would finish it off perfectly!
Literal tears at that reveal. I even got a little misty as you were staining the drawers. The amount of care and effort you put in. The joy you bring to your cottage shows in every room and every tiny moment. Thank you for inspiring us to LIVE in a home with such intention.
I would love glass doors on that beautiful cabinet you've made. I think it makes it more finished. A topper can also elevate it more. Its surreal how your guest bathroom feels, I've always been into modern design but I really appreciate your house. I'm loving its coziness and how homey it feels. As always, good job Macenna! Looking forward for the other room makeovers. ♥️
MaCenna, you constantly amaze me! You say, "Oh, I'm going to build my own kitchen cabinets! And I'm going to make my own antique-y bathroom furniture!" and I'm thinking "Isn't that way too ambitious...?"* But you're always completely fearless, and you build up your skills so much with every new project, and the result is always amazing! If ever a bathroom was A MOOD, it's this one! A couple of notes: A few commenters suggested a shinier varnish for the cabinet, but I'm not so sure. I think the matt finish works well with the way the stain came out. I like the rustic moodiness of it! However, I did think the vanity could use more shine to it when you first refinished it, and still do! And definitely look into sealing the gap behind it in some way! Doors are going to be so practical on the cabinet, even though it looks very pretty styled open! I would go with glass! And if you ever want to hide the contents completely, you can line the glass doors with a pretty fabric! Regarding your difficulties with the crown molding, maybe it's the slope in the ceiling that's throwing you off? I can only imagine how that complicates the angles in the corners... it's one reason I'm not even attempting it in my flat (other than that it's also a 70s building with very low ceilings. 😄) Some of the ceilings are sloped and it makes my brain hurt even thinking about having to figure the angles out! *I guess I tend to fear that you're going to be disappointed when it doesn't work out like you imagined, because I recognize some of your perfectionism? I remember when you installed the salvaged bead board and you said something like "I like the imperfect look of old things, but give me a caulking gun and I go crazy!" and I was like "Yeah, that's me, too! Can't turn off the part of my brain that focuses on the small details, sometimes to the detriment of the bigger picture!" It's just that you seem to channel that perfectionism much, much more productively than I do, just tackling things with all that energy and doing the best job that you can, instead of letting yourself get paralysed with fear of failure! You're a genuine role model for me in that way! 😊Thank you for doing what you do!
This bathroom is absolutly gorgeous! Yes to the topper and YES to doors with glass. Also I just love the addition of the stool, youre so right, it does help balance the space!
Yes yes yes !!!!! This came out amazing! Heck yes to a decorative topper for the cabinet! It will really give it that vintage furniture feel. I am also leaning yes on doors too. Once you live with the bathroom for a little I think the inside will get a little messy and doors (even ones with glass) will give you a bit of coverage.
“If you have made it this far..” but it hasn’t been a long vid… woah, 41 minutes, but it felt like only 15! That’s how amazing the process was! What a beautiful transformation, everything came together so good! Definitely your vision is now a reality 😊
I don't know why every time you get closer to completing your vision I want to cry. There's is something so satisfying of watching all the work you've put in to your dream come to fruition. This bathroom is beautiful. The peacock curtains are you and they work.
I shouted yes so loudly when you showed us the topper I could’ve sworn you heard me from here and I live in Australia.😁 Definitely yes to glass doors on the cabinet, to keep everything dry and dust free. Also because it will make it look more expensive, ( and give you the chance to you more of your stunning knobs). What a morning, I feel so spoilt. I watched Drew show his landlord everything he and Marie did to his apartment earlier and now I’ve watched you and Romeo transform an old outdated kitchen into a gorgeous bathroom. You work so hard and you’re such an inspiration to so many people. Your videos always make my day. ☺️
I’ve been waiting for this and it did not disappoint! Yes to glass doors and topper for the cabinet. I hope to see the crown molding soon.. but no pressure. I’m sure it’s going to be beautiful together with the lights. Congratulations, Macenna!
I can’t wait till your house is featured in a magazine or tv show and we can all say we watched you build it from the ground up! Such a beautiful bathroom!!!
Yes to the topper!! Also, I love all the stories about every piece that went into the bathroom!!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I know I’m not the only one who waits for every video!
Topper: yes, most definitely. Doors: I wouldn’t but if it’s the look you love than absolutely. Beautiful bathroom! Love your aesthetic. Gentle bear hugs xx
Ma’am you are living my dreams😊 don’t take your opportunities for granted😄 Woodwork is a skill that I love soo much. I don’t have as many tools and supplies as you do or else I think I’d build a lot more.
Stunning! You have put together a room that anyone would want to spend time in. Your attention to detail is spot on. So beautiful. Thank you for taking us on this renovation journey with you. So looking forward to watching more of your inspired transformations.
We've been waiting for this video for so long, and now that it's here, I feel like I'm getting high off it! Everything is so good, just *chef's kiss* Every decision you made was just full of love, care and thought. This makeover is perfectly done. You are so inspiring with evert you've done and taught yourself on this makeover journey! Thank you!
Absolutely breathtaking! Love how unique this whole cottage is turning out to be. All the finishes and designs are so far from run of the mill and full of personality and warmth and old world charm. I love this bathroom already! Cant wait to see those final finishing touches down the line
Gorg! obsessed with the curtains, I feel like they just bring everything together! Also yes to the doors and topper, and definitely more stain and a finish!
Stunning bathroom, you’ve done an amazing job. I love how unique and personal it feels. It’s refreshing to see something outside of the same design trends we constantly see. The curtains are the only thing I’d change personally, but I love how different and you they are.
OMG, I have never in my life seen such a beautiful bathroom. The curtains (I didn’t see the vision originally, but I had faith, lol) came out so lovely. The tile and the CABINET. Just perfection. I say, no doors. I love the towel hanging over. It feels so lived in and cozy. Just divine. Really. I can’t say enough about home much I am in love with this bathroom.
Love how the bathroom turned out! I am so impressed with how you have tackled all the woodworking skills required to renovate your home. FYI: I saw another DIY show where they used a special crown molding jig with their miter saw to get the correct angle for the cut. Maybe you could try finishing the installation with that jig. Love your channel! ❤
This is the most beautiful bathroom I've seen, design wise in a good minute. Your eye for design and planning is amazing. It feels new but also vintage and homey all at once. You've done such AMAZING work ❤️ really just well done!!
MaCenna, you are so inspiring! The way you've learned how to do so much and you just keep going and learning is so cool! You definitely inspire me to take on projects that seem scary or overwhelming and use power tools. Thanks for being such an awesome lady! This bathroom turned out incredible. Your hard work was worth every effort. 💜
I can't believe how you are doing all of these renovations from scratch it's amazing really and so fun to watch I don't know what I'm gonna do when you are all done with the place
The cabinet, the brassware, the framed art, the mirror and little glass pieces... They all make me want to move back in time to whatever era makes me feel things like this bathroom does.
This is such an incredible process, the first completed room! You must be SO proud. I’m personally not a huge fan of the curtain fabric but everything is just so exceptionally done 🧡🧡🧡
You should use the top of green cabinet with the topper still on and make a sturdy table for a changing table in your bedroom/closet. And when it isn’t a nursery anymore it can just be a nice table for you to use as a makeup vanity.
Definitely YES to the topper, and the doors. What a peaceful looking bathroom. The curtains are so sweet and I love that they were repurposed. Well done guys. Its lovely.👏👏👏
Yes, a topper along with doors / glass inserts would complete the beautiful cabinet that you have built. It is all just gorgeous. It needs to be featured in a magazine.
I feel like the only missing thing from this video is the excitement from you building an ENTIRE HUTCH!!!! What the heck you did that!!! It and the entire bathroom looks amazing 🎉🎉🎉
Glass doors - yes Topper - yes The bathroom has turned out just amazing! Extremely beautiful and elegant! Can't get enough of looking at it!! Just speechless!!
I love designs that look both traditional and up-to-date. This is the kind of design that will still be gorgeous 10 years from now. I think timeless is the word. Absolutely beautiful!
I feel like we have very different styles, and every time you show something I'm not a huge fan, but once it all comes together it is absolutely beautiful! I've learned not to doubt your picks, it's amazing every time!!
Absolutely AMAZING!!!! Love the cafe curtains…wonderful way to recycle fabric. The cabinet is perfect…you make it all look so easy. The cabinet looks great as is, but I’m sure glass doors and a topper would take it over the top. All the vintage accessories and art came together so perfectly. Can’t wait to see how the rest of the house makeover.
Was anyone else shocked when MaCenna said she had never heard of Edge Banding hahaha I was surprised she hadn’t used it a million times before. Amazing job on this bathroom! I’ve never seen a more beautiful bathroom and you’re going to absolutely kill it on every other room and I can’t wait to see it all
I’m so emotional with happiness for you guys! This journey is amazing. Glass door and a topper would be beautiful. As is can be pretty of course too but I think completing the cabinet would tie your vision together! So proud of your work and dedication. I legitimately get so excited for every upload! 👏🏼🏡
Imagine living in this house knowing that you did all of these things! What a dream 😍 Your carpentry skills are just amazing! Glass doors with topper?! 100% yes! (Also, very into a pretty wallpaper inside the cabinet)
Cake stand w a pedestal to place pretty lotions and potions will give some height in cabinet and pop of green with a faux plant mite brighten up the cabinet. You are so incredibly talented! It’s a beautiful space.
Love seeing this space come together! That cabinet is amazing and you did a fantastic job... YES to the topper and YES to the Doors (with seeded glass).... for the storage underneath, I envision 2 LARGE French style rustic baskets for extra towels, TP, dirty towels (for guests), etc.
Omg the guest bathroom came out amazing! Seriously so beautiful. I’m amazed at your attention to detail and constantly inspired by your work ethic. To create something so stunning with your bare hands AND document the journey in such a beautiful way I can’t imagine how hard that must be. Congratulations! And thank you for taking us along for the ride ☺️
The bathroom is lovely! The basket on the bottom shelf would be so pretty with those things on a vintage tray so you can see the items. Curtains are so pretty!
Absolutely yes to the glass doors and topper! I think those additions will really pull together the vintage look of the piece. Maybe you’ve also considered adding wax to the finish of the cabinet - if so, yes to that as well. It feels like the cabinet needs the richness that wax will bring out. Girl, you’ve worked TOO HARD on that beautiful piece not to finish it full masterpiece status. Great job, McCenna!
The hutch is beautiful! Definitely would look amazing with a topper and doors. Great job on the bathroom! I am still not 100% in love with the curtains though. Maybe something more plain? I feel like it’s a lot.
Yes to the topper. More wood elegance. Yes to the doors... glass right? The doors can protect your metals, linens. The hooks! The hardware. MaCenna you put the chest together like magic. ⚘🤗
This is so gorgeous and wild to think that this is only a guest bathroom - I can't wait to see what you do with your master bath!!! Thank you for being such an inspiration to me :D
Gorgeous Bathroom! I’m loving your cottage reno, I’ll be doing our 100yr old farmhouse soon so thank you for the inspiration! For coping crown moulding: try using a sander or a dremel tool instead of the saw. Easier to remove material slowly, at an angle and you can creep up to the front edge. ;)
thank you for sharing that coping tip! i'm prepping to do crown molding and have been trying to practice different techniques to decide which i want to do
This looks so good! I’m so impressed and inspired by all the skills you learned to tackle this project! Yes to glass doors and yes to the topper! Also a glossy or satin top coat over the stain as well. I know you want vintage, but in its current state it’s erring a bit more rustic than I usually see from your style. Still an impressive piece!
Glass doors - Yes!! Topper - Yes!! I really do like the curtains too idk it felt like it added something to the space. Beautiful job!!! Honestly it’s hard to imagine what your home used to look like. When you do the before and afters 🤯🤯
Yes to the topper and the doors. Beautiful bathroom, exceptional job.
Thank youuuuu 🥰
Agree 👍
TOTALLY agree! Especially with the bins underneath for towels and such, it'll look sooo beautiful and luxurious
Yes! Doors for sure. And a topper would be beautiful
@@XOMaCenna ribbed glass for the doors???? Etched glass or just plain? But definitely glass doors and topper! You've done an amazing job with everything so far... bravo 👏🤌👌
Ughhh Macenna you are too good!!! I cannot wait to come visit you in the cottage when your all done! Can I take a bath in there plz?
Maybe she'd let you decorate the guest room?!
Yes, that would be epic!! Love the Lone Fox Channel 🤍
@Lone Fox And she should have asked you! 👍 about the edge banding since you have done it so much.
Yes to Drew decorating the guest bedroom ! Just watched your video with the landlord earlier. Brought tears to my eyes. . You have the best aesthetic & you guys are my fave ever ! 🥰
U two are theeeee best at everything! Obsessed with your channels! Loved the Landlord reaction video ❤️❤️❤️
"Yes" to adding glass doors to your gorgeous cabinet! "Yes Yes Yes" to finding some vintage wavy glass to use! And "yes" to finding a beautifully ornate topper! You are so incredibly talented, MaCenna. And so extremely inspirational.
I agree with you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@jamimarie6117 Agree
Glass doors: Yes
Topper: 100% Yes
Bathroom: Absolutely exquisitely done.
Glass doors with frosted designed like the entry closet door.
I would always recommend doors, just simply so you don’t have to dust as much lol
And I agree with a varnish or a finishing wax on the cabinet would finish it off nicely!
Yes, to a matte finishing wax on the cabinet! Can't believe anything could make it more perfect, but a matte wax would be the perfect finish.
Danish oil
I love your cabinet in the bathroom....also: YES to the glass doors, and YES to the topper for the cabinet!!!!!
Doors: YES (especially watching that open flame next to your towels 🫣) haha. Topper: YES 🙌 Also, would you consider adding a glossy varnish to the cabinet?

That is exactly what that cabinet needs. A glossy finish!! Something felt off, but I figured doors and topper would finish it, but I agree, a gloss to that bad boy…. *chefs kiss*
Definitely agree with this.
This woman amazes me. This entire series has been incredible. Congratulations MaCenna. Job well done.
Yes to the doors & the toppers!
I wish you’d trade the woven basket on the bottom right shelf out with an antique tray. I actually like seeing the bottles and that basket seems overpowering and covers too much of the bird picture IMO
Agreed! The bottles are so pretty that they don’t need to be hidden.
STUNNING!! Do you ever just sit back and look at these things and say "I did this." Girl, I know I would. Fantastic job, such a beautiful oasis.
I dooooooo!! It’s the best feeling 🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely beautiful!

You should get a brass sign for the bathroom and call it “The Bird Bath”. Every room should be a theme
Love this idea!!!
Yes!!!
That's adorable!
That's what we call our bathroom! My daughter's nickname is "Bird" and her friends dubbed me "Bird Mom." And yes, we have bird art in the room.
I love that idea!💕
You have come such a long way with your DIY skills! That cabinet is so beautiful and I am so impressed that you built it! YES to the glass doors for sure and YES to the topper. I think the one you currently have fits the scale of the cabinet nicely.
When you’re ready to add plants I think you’d love:
Satin pothos (trailing plaint, super easy to care for) would be cute on top of cabinet.
Rubber plant (grows tall and skinny, super easy. Stem turns into a branch at one point and rich tones)
My favorite, a tiny Angel wing begonia (grows tall slowly, has pink hues sometimes. Easy to keep the size you want with pruning. But is a tropical plant so it will thrive in a humid bathroom. Liked warmth and frequent waters 2 times a week is enough but will get mad if not watered hehe)
All do great in ceramic pots! 💕
Heart leaf philandendron would LOVE this bathroom as well and grow so nicely
Imagine a little maidenhair fern as well 😍 ugh I love plants too much for my own good 😂😂 (in a two bedroom apartment with 140 indoor plants)
I wanted her to put a plant on the window sill, or hanging infront of the window, in the corner near the towels. Or, a standing plant next to the tub behind the stool 😌

Vertical stripes would make me agree with you. Or a creamy linen with a black ribbon edge.
A place of personal joy. Lovely! 💐
I agree, or just creamy solid curtains
Yeah I agree it needs one modern element and streamlined, simple...kind of inching towards re-enactment or museum like imo.
TF you have a point, the curtains look too granny style.
This bathroom makeover has been such a beautiful journey to watch. Gosh, I remember when you demoed the kitchen cabinets all by yourself. Thank you for sharing MaCenna! 🤎
It feels like I demoed it a lifetime ago but also just yesterday!!! 🥰🥰
I’m in love with your handmade cafe curtains. The Peacock design in the perfect luxury symbol for the space with all the detail designs you have implemented! The colors of the flowers are a perfect compliment to the Tudor Brown also.

I DISAGREE, THE CURTAINS LOOK REALLY NICE 👍
The curtains are THE only thing I don’t like! But whatever makes her happy!
i agree!!
Same. I think a simple linen color or something with smaller detail flowers would have been better.
The print is too large for the size of the curtain panel, plus the pattern doesn't match across each of the panels, making the eye wander.
This almost made me emotional! The atmosphere in this bathroom is giving me a sense of peace and familiarity that comes from my grandparents’ house in Italy. I love seeing how all of your vision came to life so beautifully MaCenna! I would say yes for doors and topper! 😍😍😍
Yes to topper and glass! That hutch creation was incredible!! I feel like the oatmeal curtains would fit better though because the pattern takes attention away from the beautiful penny tile!

Congratulations for taking this on, acing it and this wonderful space you are creating. I am now caught up and following this along in real time. I wish I would have seen vlogs from the whole year too but that’s too many videos hehe. Absolutely amazing. 💕💕💕💕
I've been patiently waiting for this video. There is no words to say how great this looks. I absolutely love it.
Awww thank you so much! I’m so sorry it took longer than I thought it would but I keep telling myself “good things take time” 🥰🛀
Yes, a topper would look beautiful! I think the glass doors would really bring the vintage look to it. You’ve done such a great job on everything you’ve completed. I’m so excited to see what you have in store for the other rooms. Thank you for being so giving of yourself.
Yes to doors (they’re just practical for keeping dust down but they’ll also be an opportunity to add more detail and hardware!) and yes to the topper (you’re so right and it adds that vintage feel). Looks amazing!
“Coping is not a skill I am mastering quickly…” Yep, I felt that 😅 right now I’m reeling from a break up, living in the house we own together. And watching you make this house your own is starting to give me ideas and make me feel a little better about living here alone and making it my own. ❤️
I'm sorry you're dealing with something so difficult. The fact that you can start to begin imagining a place that is your own is a great step forward. I wish you luck. You got this!
So my ex and I renovated our apartment together and coping is such a bittersweet memory. We literally could never get it! Hugs to you.
The cabinet build has me so inspired. I feel like I want to try build EVERYTHING now 😂
Same here 😂All of a sudden every nook with free space needs a self build of some kind.
Yes to the topper
Doors: YES; Topper: YES!! that hutch is absolutely incredible! You have such an eye for detail!!
Well, if this is how beautiful and thought-out the guest bathroom is, I guess it's safe to say there will be much much more beautiful details to look forward to in the master bath. I cannot wait. 😍
I hope you save literally everything you sketch for the house and leave it even after you're gone. I'm imagining like 150 years from now someone finding it all
The topper was soooo pretty!!! Definitely would be a beautiful addition once you find the perfect one! And once you put doors on the cabinet not only will it be beautiful but it will help protect the wood veneer from humidity!
So proud of you, MaCenna. Seeing all the love and work you've put into your home is so inspiring! I'm excited to be here for more pretty progress
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
That hutch looks so good, and is the perfect addition to the space. I like the idea of glass doors, but I think keeping them simple and square, rather than adding cut out trim details would look best. And I think a cool topper would finish it off perfectly!
Oh yes to the topper in the bathroom cabinet and yes to the doors. They would both be the cherry on top!!
Literal tears at that reveal. I even got a little misty as you were staining the drawers. The amount of care and effort you put in. The joy you bring to your cottage shows in every room and every tiny moment. Thank you for inspiring us to LIVE in a home with such intention.
I would love glass doors on that beautiful cabinet you've made. I think it makes it more finished. A topper can also elevate it more. Its surreal how your guest bathroom feels, I've always been into modern design but I really appreciate your house. I'm loving its coziness and how homey it feels. As always, good job Macenna! Looking forward for the other room makeovers. ♥️
MaCenna, you constantly amaze me! You say, "Oh, I'm going to build my own kitchen cabinets! And I'm going to make my own antique-y bathroom furniture!" and I'm thinking "Isn't that way too ambitious...?"* But you're always completely fearless, and you build up your skills so much with every new project, and the result is always amazing! If ever a bathroom was A MOOD, it's this one!
A couple of notes: A few commenters suggested a shinier varnish for the cabinet, but I'm not so sure. I think the matt finish works well with the way the stain came out. I like the rustic moodiness of it! However, I did think the vanity could use more shine to it when you first refinished it, and still do! And definitely look into sealing the gap behind it in some way!
Doors are going to be so practical on the cabinet, even though it looks very pretty styled open! I would go with glass! And if you ever want to hide the contents completely, you can line the glass doors with a pretty fabric!
Regarding your difficulties with the crown molding, maybe it's the slope in the ceiling that's throwing you off? I can only imagine how that complicates the angles in the corners... it's one reason I'm not even attempting it in my flat (other than that it's also a 70s building with very low ceilings. 😄) Some of the ceilings are sloped and it makes my brain hurt even thinking about having to figure the angles out!
*I guess I tend to fear that you're going to be disappointed when it doesn't work out like you imagined, because I recognize some of your perfectionism? I remember when you installed the salvaged bead board and you said something like "I like the imperfect look of old things, but give me a caulking gun and I go crazy!" and I was like "Yeah, that's me, too! Can't turn off the part of my brain that focuses on the small details, sometimes to the detriment of the bigger picture!" It's just that you seem to channel that perfectionism much, much more productively than I do, just tackling things with all that energy and doing the best job that you can, instead of letting yourself get paralysed with fear of failure! You're a genuine role model for me in that way! 😊Thank you for doing what you do!
This bathroom is absolutly gorgeous! Yes to the topper and YES to doors with glass. Also I just love the addition of the stool, youre so right, it does help balance the space!
Yes yes yes !!!!! This came out amazing! Heck yes to a decorative topper for the cabinet! It will really give it that vintage furniture feel. I am also leaning yes on doors too. Once you live with the bathroom for a little I think the inside will get a little messy and doors (even ones with glass) will give you a bit of coverage.
“If you have made it this far..” but it hasn’t been a long vid… woah, 41 minutes, but it felt like only 15! That’s how amazing the process was! What a beautiful transformation, everything came together so good! Definitely your vision is now a reality 😊
Omg Macenna, you’ve outdone yourself. The cabinet!! Everything is so so beautiful. You did such a good job, I love all about your bathroom! ♥️♥️♥️
I agree! So gorgeous...You're the Best Macenna!!!
@Repent and believe in Jesus ChristAmen! I am a believer in God, Jesus and the holy spirit.
I don't know why every time you get closer to completing your vision I want to cry. There's is something so satisfying of watching all the work you've put in to your dream come to fruition. This bathroom is beautiful. The peacock curtains are you and they work.
I shouted yes so loudly when you showed us the topper I could’ve sworn you heard me from here and I live in Australia.😁 Definitely yes to glass doors on the cabinet, to keep everything dry and dust free. Also because it will make it look more expensive, ( and give you the chance to you more of your stunning knobs). What a morning, I feel so spoilt. I watched Drew show his landlord everything he and Marie did to his apartment earlier and now I’ve watched you and Romeo transform an old outdated kitchen into a gorgeous bathroom. You work so hard and you’re such an inspiration to so many people. Your videos always make my day. ☺️
Yes doors & topper on the cabinet!
MaCenna this was AMAZING! seriously in awe of your talent & hard work! so inspiring
I’ve been waiting for this and it did not disappoint! Yes to glass doors and topper for the cabinet. I hope to see the crown molding soon.. but no pressure. I’m sure it’s going to be beautiful together with the lights. Congratulations, Macenna!
I can’t wait till your house is featured in a magazine or tv show and we can all say we watched you build it from the ground up! Such a beautiful bathroom!!!
Yes to the topper!! Also, I love all the stories about every piece that went into the bathroom!!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I know I’m not the only one who waits for every video!
I was just telling my dad how you've essentially learned how to renovate a home by yourself in a year, you're amazing and I love this moody bathroom 😍
Topper: yes, most definitely. Doors: I wouldn’t but if it’s the look you love than absolutely. Beautiful bathroom! Love your aesthetic. Gentle bear hugs xx
Ma’am you are living my dreams😊 don’t take your opportunities for granted😄
Woodwork is a skill that I love soo much. I don’t have as many tools and supplies as you do or else I think I’d build a lot more.
Stunning! You have put together a room that anyone would want to spend time in. Your attention to detail is spot on. So beautiful. Thank you for taking us on this renovation journey with you. So looking forward to watching more of your inspired transformations.
We've been waiting for this video for so long, and now that it's here, I feel like I'm getting high off it! Everything is so good, just *chef's kiss*
Every decision you made was just full of love, care and thought. This makeover is perfectly done. You are so inspiring with evert you've done and taught yourself on this makeover journey! Thank you!
Absolutely breathtaking! Love how unique this whole cottage is turning out to be. All the finishes and designs are so far from run of the mill and full of personality and warmth and old world charm. I love this bathroom already! Cant wait to see those final finishing touches down the line
Definitely glass doors, maybe with some pretty molding, or brass color window paint decals. And yes to the topper! That piece is so beautiful!
Gorg! obsessed with the curtains, I feel like they just bring everything together! Also yes to the doors and topper, and definitely more stain and a finish!
Absolutely yes to a topper on that cabinet!
I agree I think it would add something special up there
It’s perfect , everything completes everything , I could had never ever imagined how beautiful it would end up to look like.. a masterpiece
Stunning bathroom, you’ve done an amazing job. I love how unique and personal it feels. It’s refreshing to see something outside of the same design trends we constantly see. The curtains are the only thing I’d change personally, but I love how different and you they are.
OMG, I have never in my life seen such a beautiful bathroom. The curtains (I didn’t see the vision originally, but I had faith, lol) came out so lovely. The tile and the CABINET. Just perfection. I say, no doors. I love the towel hanging over. It feels so lived in and cozy. Just divine. Really. I can’t say enough about home much I am in love with this bathroom.
Love how the bathroom turned out! I am so impressed with how you have tackled all the woodworking skills required to renovate your home. FYI: I saw another DIY show where they used a special crown molding jig with their miter saw to get the correct angle for the cut. Maybe you could try finishing the installation with that jig. Love your channel! ❤
This is the most beautiful bathroom I've seen, design wise in a good minute. Your eye for design and planning is amazing. It feels new but also vintage and homey all at once. You've done such AMAZING work ❤️ really just well done!!
Doors and topper definitely, just missing a laundry basket. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Worth the wait! I’m speechless.
No - Doors
Yes - Topper
Don’t love the curtain fabric but the cafe rod was a brilliant idea.
Take care!
Yes yes yes! Yes, to the beautiful glass doors and the topper! Embracing the antique feel for the hutch would be incredible!
MaCenna, you are so inspiring! The way you've learned how to do so much and you just keep going and learning is so cool! You definitely inspire me to take on projects that seem scary or overwhelming and use power tools. Thanks for being such an awesome lady! This bathroom turned out incredible. Your hard work was worth every effort. 💜
I can't believe how you are doing all of these renovations from scratch it's amazing really and so fun to watch I don't know what I'm gonna do when you are all done with the place
The cabinet, the brassware, the framed art, the mirror and little glass pieces... They all make me want to move back in time to whatever era makes me feel things like this bathroom does.
Love, love, love the peacock curtains!! I was so glad when you purchased that comforter set and what plans you have for it. Looks amazing!!
This is such an incredible process, the first completed room! You must be SO proud. I’m personally not a huge fan of the curtain fabric but everything is just so exceptionally done 🧡🧡🧡
I agree I LOVE it all except for the curtain fabric
Maybe frosted glass would have been an option for the glass where the curtains are. Love everything else though! 😔❤️
@@elainedee9314 I even like the style of the curtains ! Just the fabric, but I still appreciate all the work
You should use the top of green cabinet with the topper still on and make a sturdy table for a changing table in your bedroom/closet. And when it isn’t a nursery anymore it can just be a nice table for you to use as a makeup vanity.
Definitely YES to the topper, and the doors.
What a peaceful looking bathroom.
The curtains are so sweet and I love that they were repurposed.
Well done guys. Its lovely.👏👏👏
Yes, a topper along with doors / glass inserts would complete the beautiful cabinet that you have built. It is all just gorgeous. It needs to be featured in a magazine.
I feel like the only missing thing from this video is the excitement from you building an ENTIRE HUTCH!!!! What the heck you did that!!! It and the entire bathroom looks amazing 🎉🎉🎉
Glass doors - yes
Topper - yes
The bathroom has turned out just amazing! Extremely beautiful and elegant! Can't get enough of looking at it!! Just speechless!!
So proud of you McKenna! Can’t wait to watch your family grow in this beautiful cottage.
Thank youuuuu 🥹🥰
I love designs that look both traditional and up-to-date. This is the kind of design that will still be gorgeous 10 years from now. I think timeless is the word. Absolutely beautiful!
I feel like we have very different styles, and every time you show something I'm not a huge fan, but once it all comes together it is absolutely beautiful! I've learned not to doubt your picks, it's amazing every time!!
WOW! it's so unique and cozy and everything just works so perfectly together. flawless design!!!
Absolutely AMAZING!!!! Love the cafe curtains…wonderful way to recycle fabric. The cabinet is perfect…you make it all look so easy. The cabinet looks great as is, but I’m sure glass doors and a topper would take it over the top. All the vintage accessories and art came together so perfectly. Can’t wait to see how the rest of the house makeover.
Was anyone else shocked when MaCenna said she had never heard of Edge Banding hahaha I was surprised she hadn’t used it a million times before. Amazing job on this bathroom! I’ve never seen a more beautiful bathroom and you’re going to absolutely kill it on every other room and I can’t wait to see it all
She’s such a pro carpenter already. Hard to believe she just started not too long ago
Question: why doesn’t the granite overhang the cabinet on the front. You’ll get water damage on it over time.
This cottage needs to be in a magazine! 🥰 its gorgeous.
I’m so emotional with happiness for you guys! This journey is amazing. Glass door and a topper would be beautiful. As is can be pretty of course too but I think completing the cabinet would tie your vision together! So proud of your work and dedication. I legitimately get so excited for every upload! 👏🏼🏡
Yes to the glass doors and topper on the hutch! Beautiful!!!
Imagine living in this house knowing that you did all of these things! What a dream 😍
Your carpentry skills are just amazing!
Glass doors with topper?! 100% yes!
(Also, very into a pretty wallpaper inside the cabinet)
Cake stand w a pedestal to place pretty lotions and potions will give some height in cabinet and pop of green with a faux plant mite brighten up the cabinet. You are so incredibly talented! It’s a beautiful space.
Love seeing this space come together! That cabinet is amazing and you did a fantastic job... YES to the topper and YES to the Doors (with seeded glass).... for the storage underneath, I envision 2 LARGE French style rustic baskets for extra towels, TP, dirty towels (for guests), etc.
Absolutely stunning! Hard work always pays off in the end. Love the cabinet with the topper idea
Omg the guest bathroom came out amazing! Seriously so beautiful. I’m amazed at your attention to detail and constantly inspired by your work ethic. To create something so stunning with your bare hands AND document the journey in such a beautiful way I can’t imagine how hard that must be. Congratulations! And thank you for taking us along for the ride ☺️
I'm obsessed with the cabinet. It looks like a 100 year old craftsman piece
The bathroom is lovely! The basket on the bottom shelf would be so pretty with those things on a vintage tray so you can see the items. Curtains are so pretty!
Absolutely yes to the glass doors and topper! I think those additions will really pull together the vintage look of the piece. Maybe you’ve also considered adding wax to the finish of the cabinet - if so, yes to that as well. It feels like the cabinet needs the richness that wax will bring out. Girl, you’ve worked TOO HARD on that beautiful piece not to finish it full masterpiece status. Great job, McCenna!
The hutch is beautiful! Definitely would look amazing with a topper and doors. Great job on the bathroom! I am still not 100% in love with the curtains though. Maybe something more plain? I feel like it’s a lot.
Yes to the topper. More wood elegance. Yes to the doors... glass right? The doors can protect your metals, linens. The hooks! The hardware. MaCenna you put the chest together like magic. ⚘🤗
This is so gorgeous and wild to think that this is only a guest bathroom - I can't wait to see what you do with your master bath!!! Thank you for being such an inspiration to me :D
Gorgeous Bathroom! I’m loving your cottage reno, I’ll be doing our 100yr old farmhouse soon so thank you for the inspiration!
For coping crown moulding: try using a sander or a dremel tool instead of the saw. Easier to remove material slowly, at an angle and you can creep up to the front edge. ;)
thank you for sharing that coping tip! i'm prepping to do crown molding and have been trying to practice different techniques to decide which i want to do
@@TheBeautifulTruthh you're welcome! Good luck!
This looks so good! I’m so impressed and inspired by all the skills you learned to tackle this project!
Yes to glass doors and yes to the topper! Also a glossy or satin top coat over the stain as well. I know you want vintage, but in its current state it’s erring a bit more rustic than I usually see from your style. Still an impressive piece!
Glass doors - Yes!!
Topper - Yes!!
I really do like the curtains too idk it felt like it added something to the space.
Beautiful job!!! Honestly it’s hard to imagine what your home used to look like. When you do the before and afters 🤯🤯
