Macenna - I have been meaning to say this. It is a little hard to read your texts in the video. Can you please make the font bigger? 🤗
Same!😊
Yes, was going to ask this also!!
You can change it from settings😊
I’ve been thinking this as well. I don’t think making it bigger would make much of a difference, it’s the font itself. I watched 4 christmas vlogs before realising the intro title actually said ‘vlog’.
Ah, please disregard my comment. I hadn’t watched the video yet, and it seems she actually did change the font :)
You can always add a piece of molding to the back to create more surface space while it's functioning as a changing table.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing ❤❤
Great idea!
Or even those gold gallery rods to tie in with the crib ❤️ that would be cute 😍
Excellent idea to extend the working space on top.
I am loving the return to the flea markets and thrift stores!
I’m desperate to go down and check them out myself!
I found that as our babies got older and wriggled more on the changing table it became harder to get nappies etc out of the cabinet doors whilst also holding on to baby. We resolved this by adding a pretty shelf just above the changing mat that held just a few nappies to be grabbed quickly along with larger pots of cream and talc. We even hung toys off the shelp to dangle above baby to keep them focused and still rather than trying to roll over and get off the changing table. Xx
I had twins so I changed them on the carpet. So much safer when they wiggle or you can’t find something.
@@ruthnoronha8206that’s what everyone in my culture does! i’d never heard of a changing table until i got to america lol cause it’s just not a thing in my country. it’s way safer to change a baby that wat
I had singletons and still changed them on the carpet. Baby blanket under them. Nothing falls, everything is in reach.
I just grabbed a diaper as I was putting the baby on the table so I wasn't trying to grab them out of the cabinet. My table had one open shelf underneath which was handy for the other things like wipes, Desitin ointment, etc. But she can keep those in a drawer where she can grab it easily.
So clever! ❤
With old drawers that get stuck, you can try dragging an old candle along the bottom edges. The wax really helps make it more smooth!
Or a bar of soap! My granddad used to do this:)
It’s called a vasovagal response. It’s transient dizziness caused by a sudden blood pressure drop. You come out of them pretty quickly. Love the dresser.
Exactly what I thought. It happens randomly to me too. Stay positive! ✨💜✨
yep. I had those ALL throughout my most recent pregnancy and even postpartum until recently. I don't like that they make pregnant women fast that long 😩 especially water
Came to say the same about the vagus nerve. This happened with my daughter’s pregnancy.
@@heidigresh2743 I’m a nurse so I kinda knew immediately. Not a good feeling to have them.
I’m also pregnant and they told me not to fast but to avoid sugar before the test. I am in Québec, Canada. I found it weird to hear her say she had to fast as a pregnant woman ..
I recommend one of those playpens that has a bassinet with pockets for diapers and wipes for downstairs. That way you don't have to go up the stairs for every change.
Make sure you attach any dresser to the wall ❤
Are you going to add an electrically controlled pool cover? It keeps the pool cleaner, and you use a lot less chemicals. Also, it's a lot safer for dogs and kids.
With a pool, you need toddler proof locks (e.g., that require keys and you keep the keys hidden away) on the *inside* on doors and windows. Toddlers are clever and they can wake up early before their parents are awake and find their way outdoors to go for a "swim." I think there are also alarms to put in the pool itself (we're looking into this now) so if someone falls in, you're alerted.
@mtzjotz My pool has a lock box over the switch for the electrically controlled pool cover. No one can open or close it without the key. The switch is 5 feet off the ground. We also have a fence and locked gate directly around our pool and another fence and gate around our acreage.
That would also help to keep it cleaner, wouldn’t it?
@Pkeats817 A lot cleaner! You do have to clean and condition the cover, but that's easier than keeping debris out of the water. And you keep a cover pump on it during the rainy season to keep it from collecting surface water.
@@janesmith1398 Nice! I’m in Northern Canada and won’t ever be near a pool, lol. Thanks for the info. 😊
MaCenna like a hawk, stalking then swooping in to grab that perfect cabinet. GOTCHA!
When those people came back for it 15 minutes later they must have been in shock to find it gone already! 😂
🤣RIGHT!!! 😅@@Lucinda_Jackson
Lol you mom demo-ing with her perfect hair!! She's such a diva & I love it!!
Does the baby's name start with "C"? 🥰
I spotted the necklace too... hmm? i guess we will have to wait to find out.
I love watching your blogs while I cook breakfast or dinner. Very relaxing!
I never used our changing pad. 3 kids and we just used the couch, the bed, the floor... just lay down a muslin and ta-da!
That changing table is gonna be so cute! Maybe attach a basket for diapers wnd essenials to the door so it pulls out when you open cabinet? 😻
❤❤❤❤ you can use those pull out drawers that you had in the kitchen in the babies dresser to pull out when you need diapers or onesies or whatever you might put down below
I am so glad you get to sit back and let the demo happen and you can just supervise this time.
That dresser is perfect!!! ❤❤❤ Something to think about is that you’ll want to have an option on the main level for changing the baby. I found that I never really went upstairs to the nursery to change the baby. I was always in the living room. You can use the couch or floor, but it is nice to have somewhere you can stand. It’s just temporary but it’s for a while, first year pretty much. Maybe a nice basket you can have some diapers and wipes in too.
Omg! That cabinet is absolutely gorgeous! I’d have got right in there and scooped it up too. Also, that big piece of art on the easel was so pretty! It seems like the Rose Bowl has such nice art, I can never find pieces like that around me.
You’ll def want a changing station in your bedroom too! Newborns need their diapers changed constantly lol! We changed our baby on our bed and his table was just one room over but we were too tired to even do that all night long, but that hurt our backs after awhile. So def have an option for downstairs too!
you can change a baby anywhere to be honest like the floor or the bed i don think changing tables are always necessary
@@majeda_a- I agree. As long as you have a changing mat you can change a baby anywhere. I use to keep one under my sofa for changing on tne floor in my living room to save having to go upstairs especially with my second baby when I didn’t want to leave my toddler downstairs on her own while changing her sister.
But once you have used a changing table, the difference is life changing and have recommended it ever since to all new moms
I just put a changing mat on our low dresser and used that until baby was bigger.
@@majeda_a People kept telling me that and in the end I was so glad we had a changing table because my back hurt so much when i had to change him on our bed after my c section because I couldn't get up easily. I was so happy when I was more mobile again and could use the changing table.
P.s. you will want a changing spot downstairs!!!
Love the new cabinet! Maybe you could reuse the wire basket drawer thingies you had in the kitchen and fit them into the vintage cabinet.
I feel like you're going to want super easy access to diapers and stuff and with baskets it's a little harder and you kinda have to use two hands to prevent it from falling forward, whereas proper pull out drawers are more suitable for one handed use, while you keep an other hand on the baby
I came to the comments to say exactly this☺️
@@galli0same with me lol
I was going to say the same.
For diapers, I'd just stack them on the shelf. But for other things, baskets would be nice. The only problem with the pull outs is they're probably too deep. Kitchen cabinets are usually deeper than furniture pieces.
Or simply get a diaper out B4 you put the baby on the changing mat, not a big deal to do this.
MaCenna can you please start including the prices of the things you find at the flea markets!! I know you always did back in Texas when you did the cottage, it’s so interesting!!
That cabinet is absolutely precious. I love the scalloped trim on the bottom. It's too perfect. I'm glad Romeo said something about putting the cabinet outside of the nook area. I was thinking about that too. No need to cram everything into that space especially since it's a guest room not a space that someone is in all the time. It's all going to be so cute. I'm so excited for the kitchen. I know you're not in the thick of it, but like you said there is so much more you'll be able to work on. You've done a great job to focus on specific spaces that reflect you and enhance your home.
I have a blue baby chiffarobe, hand-built with 4 drawers and a door with a hangar inside if you would like it. I live in SoCal. It needs repainted. It is very heavy. I bought it 50 years ago. I do fear you might keep moving because I love this house so much. But once the kids get in school, you pretty much have to have a house where they can go to the same school for their friends to be near.
A quick note on old drawers, you can use candle wax over the wooded "sliders" to make the pull really smooth ❤
It will be wonderful for you and your family once the kitchen is done and your baby is born. You can then enjoy your home and spend all your time with the baby. The baby changing table is so beautiful. I Love your gold necklace.
Hannah’s Happy Home has great ideas for new moms and babies💕
Does anybody else shout "Buy it, buy it, buy it McCenna, " out loud whenever she picks up something gorgeous at the Rose Bowl or any of the flea markets, or is it just me?😂
Old trick for helping old drawers to slide more cleanly. Rub a bar of soap on the slides underneath the drawer, and inside where the slides hit. My dad is a master carpenter, and he's used this trick for decades. I like to use an unscented and color free bar of soap.
My granddad did the same trick. It works like a charm:)
If a drawer in a wood cabinet doesn't run smooth, you can actually take the drawer out and run with a soap bar over the wooden strips left and right where the drawer runs in and out and then it will run smooth again 😊
You can stack the diapers on top of each other instead of sideways since it is easier to have a small stack always available in the drawer. Or in a small basket on top of the dresser if it fits 😊
A hack you might want to use when remodeling wood furniture. I used car wax on a drawer to get it to stop sticking and close easily; and also my front door is heavy wood...got it to close very nicely, no sicking. Best hack I have ever used.
When I saw the boxes of blue and white china, I so wished that I was shopping with you and Romeo. Your new cabinet is just lovely and is a great addition to your home. Great Rose Bowl video!
Love the new cabinet! I did the same thing when my boys were little. After diapers and baby supplies it will be perfect for toys and later board games. Great little cabinet!
I’d suggest a few diapers and wipes in the drawers for ease of use and the stock amount of diapers below. So excited for you both ! And the grammas and grampas !!
I’d put some body suits and baby grows near the changer too as they often get leaks and you have to grab a quick clothes change when you’re tired!
Totally agree.
I’m with you-I love the beautiful color of the natural wood on the cabinet- waiting to see the finished baby’s room.
The changing table is beautiful 😍
I would 100% recommend the keekaroo peanut changer if you haven't gotten one already. They stay put and they come in pretty neutral colors to fit the decor of your nursery
Do you and Romeo plan on staying in the guest room/baby nursery after you deliver? Of course you will need to be close to the baby and will probably move up there. Your beautiful primary bedroom will be overwhelmed with baby stuff for sure.
I’d been thinking the same thing. They’re not going to want to be on a different floor from the baby.
I'm over here yelling with you saying "Romeo don't look, don't make it obvious" 😂 Soooo happy you were able to snag the cabinet 🤙🏾
I've had semi-regular bouts of fainting and near-fainting (from vasovagal syncope) over the past couple of years. The major thing I've learned is that if you ever feel like you did during the glucose test, to lay down and put your feet up until you feel better. If you do pass out make sure people around you know to track how long you're out and try to prevent a head injury, and definitely seek medical attention afterwards while pregnant to be on the safe side. Hope you were able to get plenty of rest!
I keep thinking about how different it’s going to be seeing you with a baby! ❤
The cabinet is a beauty!
But for me, it was the wonderful transferware dishes and plates that were calling my name.... love, love love and I have so many... wonder what the prices were, lots on line but the postage to Australia is anywhere between $50 - $ 125 to send only one plate!!
Great to see our beautiful Aussie gumtrees in the background of the parking lot.... ❤ from Sydney 🦘
Hi Macenna. I’m a long time follower and big fan from New Zealand 🇳🇿. I’m in the middle of a complete renovation of a 1973 townhouse. I just love the process so much. I’ve finished designing my kitchen and waiting for double glazed windows. Pre wire and pre plumb done. Plumbing fixtures ordered. New roof complete. I’m going complete 70s vibe and am hunting down retro pieces. You have really inspired me and made me feel confident. Thank you xo
Cabinet looks great. A Hack for stiff wooden draws is to rub a bar of soap on the draws, it helps to grease it up and slide easier
The cabinet is gorgeous! I bet that couple had second thoughts and went back. Too late…MaCenna has it! hehe 😀👍🏼🐶
I recommend you also set up a changing table on your main level also. I used that one much more than the one on their baby room
Very cute cabinet. Reminds me of something from Pier 1 . I use to love their cabinets.
You’re looking so stunning throughout this pregnancy, absolutely beautiful! Thank you for such awesome content as always ❤🎉
That cabinet is gorgeous ❤, just a tip for future reference re the draws,an old candle or bar of soap run along the edges of the draws and the inside of the cabinet, makes the draws run smoothly, it also works well on wooden doors that 'stick' as the weather changes, great video as usual, i always find them so calming ❤
I love doing diys and home renovations! I had my first baby last summer and before she arrived we went to work getting her nursery ready which included changing out the floors, baseboards, and outlets. I was nine months pregnant and installing flooring and baseboards lol looking back I have no idea how I had that much energy but I can’t wait to show my daughter those videos and pictures of how much love my husband and I put into her room! Pregnant again with baby number 2 due in Aug and we’re getting to work on the second nursery soon 🤞
It's the burst of energy before baby is born. It happened to me also. I moved a washer and dryer and installed laminate flooring. Husband helped moved them back...I gave birth 2 days later and he was 2 weeks early...2nd son was 1 week early. I was very blessed with easy pregnancies and easy and quick births 💜💙💚💛🧡
@@cathleenweaver6483 yes! I gave birth a week early. Dr had kept telling me I was going to go late because it was my first and I think being so active helped. Hopefully I get that burst of energy this time around too but having a baby that doesn’t sleep through the night yet has really got me exhausted this second pregnancy😮💨
@@anestassia6346 I bet you're exhausted. Take care of yourself. Now is the time to be "selfish" and ask for help if possible. And just think what great friends they'll be so close in age 💜💙💚💛🧡
Girl I can't take that feeling when you know you're about to pass out.. its so scary! I had hypoglycemia when i was pregnant the first time, my blood sugar would drop and cause me to pass out. I remember one appointment they had to prick my finger and my head just hit the table, i came to and i was laying down on the table/bed😄 They didn't want me to leave, wanted me to have someone pick me up but i was ok in about 30min! Its just weird, but I've always had low blood pressure so.. I will continue to keep you in my prayers🙏 Anyways... I love the little cabinet for the changing table, its so pretty!! So excited to see what's going on in the kitchen! And of course to see babies nursery again, i just love it so much❤
Praying your test comes back with good news. I love the cabinet. Take care of yourself. God bless, Susan
Baby name with letter C, got ya! Haha
This is the comment I was looking for, I thought it was just me! 👀
@@blackcatproductions3 Same!
I love going to flea markets as well. The dresser will make a perfect changing table. Great find and I'm glad those people finally walked away.
I laughed at Kinsley when you asked her if she wanted a treat. Just like a child, you have to reward them to come in. Lol 😂
That piece is perfection!
I can’t believe you’re 27 weeks already! Things are coming along great and you look so happy and healthy!
Lovely dresser. Please make sure you secure it to the wall. It’s good that you are getting as much as possible ready for baby in your second trimester. That’s what my son and his wife did, which was a good thing, because her energy level plummeted during last trimester.
I’m so happy you recovered quickly during your glucose test!! I’m sure it was scary for you!! Great find on the changing table!!🥰
Oh girl. I never had those test bc I ended up being a type 1 during and now full blown after babies. Crazy. Pray your body burns sugar and produces insulin like it should naturally! Prayers!!
I luv your cabinet! I personally think that the drawers would be perfect for all the essentials. Even diapers. Just make one for like three stacks of three. The rest could go in the bottom that you restock from. Just an idea but when you're doing the baby changing the last thing you'll want to do is bend over and mess around in that cabinet while you're making sure baby doesn't wiggle off.
Luv ❤️ your energy
Yes!! And the other drawer can hold wipes and diaper cream/ointmrnt
so excited to see the kitchen!
Home reno projects are so energizing! I love working on something that can't be easily undone.
This entire journey, has been so exciting❤ happy for you finding the perfect changing table, see ya soon 💯🐾🎉thank you, as always.
Best part of my Thursday!
❤ looking good ..so happy you both having a baby 🎉
Always look forward to your videos. They make my day. ❤
I really love the dresser it will look amazing in the room❤❤❤❤❤. I had to do the more I depth glucose test I know exactly how you felt. Looking forward to seeing the nursery❤❤❤❤.
Quick hack for wooden drawers that stick, rub candle wax along the edges they will move smoother after. Love the cabinet!
But
Yay!! Love a flea, thrift, estate sale video!!😊 Pregnancy looks so good on you MaCenna. You are glowing to the moon.
That cabinet is perfect and stunning!!!😮😮❤❤❤❤
That is such a pretty cabinet, it will look so good and work so well in the nursery 😍
I love that cabinet! I would have swooped that up too. Looking forward to seeing it in the nursery.
You are the highlight of my day! I’ve become so invested in your posts.
One amazing tip for your faux grass on the patio,
A Kärcher vacuum cleaner is build for construction site use, it can take ip moisture aswell.
You can use that perfect to vacuum outside like all the little leaves on the grass and stuff.
We were at Rose Bowl too, we actually went at 6:00am, it was still dark but not crowded and we found cool stuff! It’s so worth it to get there by 8.
Love the cabinet for the baby’s nursery❣️👍🏼
We so enjoyed your video today! Love the changing table! Can't wait to see the new kitchen, so happy for you two!
I am looking after my daughter that feels poorly... Good to see you again, 😊
Yay looking to forward to Sunday video. Have been missing those😢
That frame u looked at with the water damage, the round frame and picture by it my dad has one like it with his oms picture. So beautiful
Love the cabinet. I wonder if the other people decided they wanted it. You snooze, you lose. That will look great in the nursery. And you can use it anywhere in your house when the baby gets older.
Love the cabinet! 😍
Love going to the flea market with yall via RUclips. It's good seeing more of Romeo. I love how he's so sweet and helpful to you.
Make yourself a mini outside kitchen, nothing fancy , on your back patio . It will be fun, You can make it in one to 2 days ,,, daze.... lol , Use , recycled items .
That laugh at 12:51 got me rolling! 😂. The joy of winning 😄... I'm glad you got your cabinet and it's beautiful! Wishing you both the best time before and after the baby comes. Enjoy your motherhood 🤗... It's so precious...
Oh my gosh! Romeos t-shirt he wore at the Rose Bowl. 😂😂😂😂 You both are so awesome. Loving to see both of you more and the whole family dynamic
Glad your well
I am glad you are ok!
I am so excited to the kitcheeennnnn!
Why not get a robotic lawn mower in texas? Not sure if they can handle the bamboo though (I think it's bamboo?). And it would be best if your parents could drive over to the cottage and check on it once in a while if it gets stuck, but all in all it does a great job without any supervising needed.
What a beautiful find for your son’s changing table! Great vlog MaCenna! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The cupboard will look cute as a changing table. I used my mom's wood tea cart for my grandkids.. Love repurposing things for new uses.
On the wooden drawers that are hard to open, i was always told to rub some wax on them makes it easier to open.
Great find!! You are my inspiration 😊
Or Mohawk Slideez Lubricant. Mohawk is a great, good quality line of furniture finishing products and this stuff is wonderful! Doesn't take much but makes things glide easily - drawers, hinges, etc
Glad you recovered quickly. You look great!
That was funny when Romeo said he had never seen Macenna move so fast. 😂
the makeshift kitchen for the construction guys is so sweet and thoughtful !!! 😭
I just love the changing table!!
CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE KITCHEN!❤
