    why do I feel like crying?? this is one of the most stunning and labor intense projects I've ever seen a single person do. I seriously can not believe what you have been able to accomplish with your own two hands. this is literally a dream kitchen and your eye for design and detail is elevating it even further - the dogs were the right choice! not the mention the beautiful work you do with filming and editing. I can't say much more than everyone else already did, you should just be so proud of yourself.

By time you got to the now video I was bawling so hard that I ended up having to go back and watch again because I couldn’t see through all of the tears and snot lol. You’ve not only built a kitchen on your own, you took us all on a journey as your created art. I’m so grateful and I’m privileged to be able to witness your creation come to light. Thank you for showing us all that was just a little bit of time and patience, we are all capable of bringing our visions to light.

    Even though I said I never wanted to renovate a home again... this whole series makes me want to find an old Hill Country "cottage" and renovate using elements that I have seen you do to your amazing house. The fact that you have done nearly all the work yourself still amazes me. Each reveal that you have done for the house is elevated. The kitchen is beyond beautiful. Its modern yet styled simplistic, airy and homey. This house and your work needs to be recognized by the City of Comfort, Southern Living Magazine, Architectural Design or whatever other design magazines out there . Bravo MaCenna.

    I can’t believe how stunning this kitchen turned out. And being able to reuse all of those materials?!? It makes it all the more special.
    Would love it if you could do a video on self-care during the renovation stage. When do you decide to stop for the day? My ADHD wants to hyper focus on a project for 12 hours straight without eating, staying hydrated, etc!

    Just crying watching the end of this video with the reveal. I’ve been here since the beginning and this channel has become soooo important to me for so many reasons - I feel so empowered, confident and proud of myself for small (and big) accomplishments because of you and videos like this! I genuinely feel like I can do ANYTHING I set my mind to because of you. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us and for inspiring me to try hard things and give myself grace. You are amazing! Congratulations on this HUGE accomplishment! ❤🎉

It is the most inspiring thing I think I have ever seen one woman do on her own. You are one of a kind and I cannot wait to see what you accomplish in the future. Your parents must be so very proud of you!! While watching this video I kept saying to myself..." I cannot believe she has done all this ! What an amazing job !! " . You deserve a long and restful break my dear! I hope you enjoy some very special time in L.A. with a chance to relax in your new home. AMAZING job, just jaw dropping !!

    Tip: Since raw/untreated wood is hard to clean and absorbs everything, it might be a good idea to put a clear coat or paint the inside of the trash can's cabinet, so in case there are any spills you can wipe it down easily.
