- I’ve been looking for a coffee table for our living room for months and finally found this large wooden one at the flea market that we can clean, upcycle and add some detail to transform into exactly what we need for the space & share two ways we could decorate it with second-hand decor I love.

Do NOT add brass, looks stunning without it !! More accurate to the style and era that it’s from without :) I LOVE the brass candles and brass plate that you have. So timeless
Thank youuuu I was thinking the same that it was just too much!
the brass trim plus the bass accents it's a lot. I also like only wood and brass tray
Totally agree!
Agreed!!!
I'd love to see short, squat round ball feet on the table, 3inch maybe. If they were brass, even better. 😊
Hi MaCenna. I'm Australian. That style of furniture was everywhere here about 10 - 20 years ago. We called it the Balinese style. Many people holidayed in Bali and a lot of these hand-carved furntiure pieces came back and were very popular, especially in warm climate houses open to the heat and breezes.
I thought it was a bit like the Bali style. Especially the detail on the corners
The "Bali Style" was modelled on furniture trends from around the world. I knew a furniture retailer in Sydney that took photos and ideas to Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, India and Thailand in the 80s, the pieces were good, but fakes. Her "exclusive" boutique in Edgecliff sold out every delivery. Nothing is new. McCenna's table is a local hand made table, not a knock off. It's Spanish inspired.
No to brass, it is beautiful without adding more, like you said you can add decor for the brass color. It looks lovely.
Thank youuuuuuuuuu
No brass
Agree..no brass! It looks great as it is! 😍
@@XOMaCenna your video is like Rituals. I always check if there is any new videos.
Please more Vlogs.
Love you very much and your mama.
I'm from Saudi Arabia ❤
Complete agree! It's a beautiful piece already!
A slim table behind the couch would look really nice~!
PERFECTION ✅
I think a sofa table, behind the couch will add definition to the entry.
Nothing new, nor that wooden plank one that everyone is using.
I love funded used solid furniture pieces to complete my rooms.
Saw an amazing odd piece yesterday that I’m contemplating.
I click on your videos the second I see them!
I watch on my grandson’s acct.
on my tv.
I come back here to comment.
For remotes and things you don't want out all the time (and that go missing!!), a cute box or basket stowed underneath on the base of the table could work :)
I have a box that looks like a book for these items.
IF you keep the living room with the sofa where it is - I think a sofa table behind it would look really nice - you certainly have the space for it! And you could have a bowl or something to drop your keys in when you come thru the door? Just a thought! Coffee table looks great MaCenna - I like it straight wood with no brass. The trim you added looks like it was always there. As you said I think brass decor on the table will do the trick!! Also on the wall opposite the windows, next to the French doors - I was thinking a large mirror would look really nice hung on the wall to reflect that great light. Or I suppose even a large leaning mirror could work? One last thing I thought -tho you probably want to keep the bottom shelf- but I think the coffee table would look really nice without that bottom shelf so you could see those great chunky legs right on top of your beautiful rug!
I agree with you Jack…a table hugging the back of the couch would be great…it’s a large empty space when you first enter the house …a table would deal with that nicely and be very functional.
Also, absolutely no need for that bottom shelf …the legs would pop and a little less bulk would be fine!
If she took off the bottom, she could make the bottom shelf into a top for a sofa table behind the couch by cutting it in half long ways.
Yes, a mirror & sofa table sounds wonderful. A different accent it really needs. And like you said so much space behind the sofa.
Great idea Deanna! Use the bottom of the coffee table to make a thin entry table by cutting it in half!
I love those armchairs - they look good from all angles so ideal for a living room. The lightness balances the weight of the table and the sofa. They'd be wasted in the bedroom
My mom’s family were carpenters and furniture makers in Texas. When working houses or furniture for people they would frequently save good pieces of wood from the trash. Your table reminds me a bit of some pieces I have that my great grandfather saved from a house that was being gutted. He just put everything together, added some parts that he made, and made a new piece of furniture. Parts of your table remind me of banister spindles.
I was thinking the same thing! It does look like an amalgamation of several components. Could it possibly have had feet at some point?
MaCenna!! I am so inspired by the way you slowly, intentionally design each space. Waiting for the right piece to come along instead of just buying the first thing you come across and "settling." You embody the phrase "home takes time" and prove how worthwhile it is to be patient
Oh my gosh! When the coffee table almost fell over, I had ptsd & flashed back to when Drew’s stained glass door fell over! It is such a beautiful table. I am so glad you brought it back to life! ❤
Yes!!!!
I did too!
Same 😂
Same! 😂
I saw the same scene in my mind😂😂
I agree with Colette, no to adding brass, yes to brass accents. Table looks great with the trim you added, it was just the right amount of detail and seems like it belonged there all along. Perfect buy, perfect size for the space.
No to brass inlay. Final look is beautiful, great size of table and love the layout with couch facing fireplace, it serves as a natural divide between the living room and kitchen. Lovely livingroom space, has turned out wonderful!
I think you’ll appreciate the layout of the couch if you put a sofa table behind it to ground the space. Because honesty I love it in front of the tv like that
I prefer without the brass. But if you like it, that’s all that matters! Your designs always look phenomenal 😊
Brass alone and actually and literally inlaid would be stunning but just along side the trim.....no. it's all so gorgeous!!!
No to brass!! Looks beautiful with just the trim, and like you said, you can always add brass decor :)
Suggestion: if you want to add a touch of brass detail to the table and add the strips on the sides between each of the existing edge decorative details that appear on the sides (top portion on each sides). This would require you to router between each segment and inlay them. Especially since your strips are 3 feet long, you’d be able to use them on each of the sides, and trim them for each end. Glue and tap them into the grooves edge. This way everyone could see the pinstripe brass inlay detail from each angle, more so than if applied to the top.
I never comment but I couldn't not comment on this one. I have been watching you for years and have always felt like you're a friend (genuinely forgetting you don't even know I exist lol), but I started listening to your podcast the other day for my 2 hour daily drives, and I genuinely feel like I'm listening to a friend. Thank you for the light you bring to mine and so many other lives. Sending love from Melbourne, Australia 💛💚
Watching MaCenna and Kinsley are my favorite Sunday ritual! 🌞
Awwww thank youuuu
Same. Makes me so Happy and helps to relax.
I am so so excited for you to trim out the windows, the door, and the wainscoting 😍 I think it might sound boring but it’s those things that just make a room feel finished, can’t wait!
Yes! Pleassssse finish these elements soon for us :)
No brass. I think your wonderful brass decor will bring the look you are after. Love your channel❤❤❤
i wish you hadn’t abandoned the stone fire place plan. to me a cottage is not a cottage without a stone fire place. i really love that look. a wooden mantel is just not the same 🥹🥹
I’m so happy Macenna finally mentioned those gorgeous chairs she’s going to recover for the living room. I love them. Everything is looking so great.
I think a sofa table behind that couch would be great, and also you could put the poofs up against the windows like a window seat almost, and kinsley could bask in the sun 🌞
MaCenna, for really rough pieces of furniture, you can use 00 steel wool with the Restore-a-Finish. It doesn't scratch but really gets an even finish and pushes things into every ding.
I actually have never done just a paper towel- for all wooden furniture I do 0000 steel wool dipped in restor-a-finish. That’s how I learned about it- it cleans and buffs the wood as it restores it and always looks gorgeous after
The best part is Kinsley's little bark every time you pulled the brad nailer!
Regarding the style of your coffee table: you're right, it does have several different stylistic elements, but overall I'm leaning toward saying it's Spanish Mission Style. Most people think this is only a style of architecture, but it's not. Spanish Mission Style usually (but not always) features very chunky legs, dark stain, and hand carved detailing. That's my best guess! Also, if you ultimately decide you do want to add brass details, the Spanish Mission Style does often incorporate brass or bronze brads arranged into linear patterns, so that's an option.
Totally agree on the style you mention.
Rearranging your coffee table decor - hours of fun!
I love the trim you added to the top, it defines the table space so nicely! That bring said I think it's perfect as is without the added brass because you've styled it with brass decor.. your living space is coming together so beautifully and I can't wait to see the finishing touches!
The trim really does add to the coffee table. It's also a practical addition - a border to reduce the risk of coffee spills staining the rug beneath.
Love the work on the table! I think it is stunning as is. Add the brass in with decor.
I love how large the coffee table is. And I love how the couch is set up originally.
I love you Macenna! I vote no brass, looks stunning as is.
I love the second try decorating the table,how you said brass,brass,brass ❤
The brass just needs to be more distressed I think to fit in with all of the other old elements 😊 LOVE the coffee table in the space. You truly have created something amazing here
My vote is no brass! I love the idea of brass accents and absolutely love your style and personality! You’re such a light!
I think painting the wooden ribbed details brass on the side corners of the table could bring that brass element as well. But making it more of distressed patina brass than a bright freshly painted one lol. Love how solid and grounding it is in the space
ya that's what i thought too
That’s what I thought too!
I liked the coffee table without any additions, no trim, and definitely no brass. Just beautiful decor.
The coffee table looks great! I like it w/o the brass detail. I vote for the 1st styling of the table.
I say leave the table just wood with no brass! The table looks so good, and I think decorating with brass details will be enough to add the look you want!
I think if you add the brass trim on the coffee table it will start to look like a picture frame (like a diy where someone takes a picture frame and attaches it to a table). I really like your idea of using a big brass tray on top. That will give you way more brass than you'd be able to add the to coffee table.
Love the look with the brass beads
With the brass for sure. It will go from, "That's a nice looking coffee table" to "That's a great coffee table!"
Also, your dog barking at the nailgun was so adorable.
I think is a 17th century antique English coffee table. Very beautiful!! 👍
Hi McKenna! First time commenting! Like the way the coffee table turned out. As for brass, I wouldn’t put it on the top, but wonder if you could put it on the side, just under the curve of the edge of the table top. More subtle but gives it that bling that you are looking for. The furniture arrangement you ended up with, the couch facing the fireplace, is the best for the flow and for that space. As another comment mentioned a console table behind the couch will help anchor things and give you a flow from the entrance to put things down. Like your channel and enjoying the process of diy and decorating both of your homes!
NO BRASS! Love it the way it is!
Coffee table looks amazing and I think the arrangement of the furniture is best as it is!! Not sure if you plan on adding a console table behind the couch but that could be a good moment 😊
I like the smaller vase the lounge room looks great
You do what you feel is right for your home! I think the trim would be lovely! You are indeed the professional when it comes to all things decorating (literally!) and now you are armed with your construction skills! Don’t listen to the naysayers they don’t live in your house, YOU DO! Some people tend to overstep from their sofa and cellphone unfortunately lol! Love your work!!
Omg, Kinsley in the window watching you at the start of the video 😭💕💕💕💕💕
Beautiful!! The color is so perfect for the space! I think it would look so cute if you added little furniture bun feet to it to give it a cutie cottage feel!
I love the table as it is. Beautiful.
No to the brass trim, looks great with the brass styling pieces. Loved the first styling option best, with the larger vase and flowers 🤎
No brass would be my vote as well. I like the design of only the book flowers and candles. Cleaner looking. It is a nice table
Absolutely obsessed with the coffee table, the small framing you added is so beautiful!! I personally wouldnt add brass to the table, I think it looks stunning as is with the brass accents. It looks so classy and timeless
Maybe you can move the poofs to the back of the sofa for the time being. Looks like you still have loads of space behind there! Would be nice to add a sidetable there in the future though, maybe even with the poofs underneat ☺️ Love how everything is coming together!
I think the coffee table looks fantastic in that room. I can see where you were saying you needed something "chunky". And I agree that you can just accessorize with the brass decor. And I really like how you broke up the space with having the couch facing the fireplace. I think that helps to define that space.
No to brass and I love the hydrangeas on the yellow book and the brass tray with the 3 candles. The balance is wonderful and it’s simple. Beautiful too
The bass in lay would make it look like a picture frame .I wouldn't add it. It looks beautiful with out it .
What you need now is a beautiful sofa table behind the sofa, possibly a lamp and decor. Maybe even the poofs could reside under it when not in use. Sounds like the chairs you are planning to reupholster are more substantial than the ones you are currently using.
The table looks really great as it is, and you've styled it perfectly. So no to the brass, I think it would be too much.
The coffee table looks PERFECT! although, I think the brass trim would look nice.
I think adding the brass decor items to the table looks so much more elegant, especially the first set up with the candlesticks. The feel like the brass strips gives the table a cheap 70's vibe.
Definitely think the coffee table is good without the brass, love the added trim!! Can’t wait to see the completed living room area
I like the way you have your sofa facing the fireplace & built in shelves. Maybe consider a sofa table /low cabinet of some sort behind it to fill in some of the open space at the entry. Would also help ground sofa etc.
I think a long entry way table behind the couch would look really nice. Break it up so you don’t just see the back of the couch from the kitchen
Your doggy looking at you through the windows❤
Thank you for using, incorporating upcycled pieces and saving them from the landfill. Your style is impeccable! So beautiful. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Agree, brass trim not needed. The table is perfect 👌🏼
You keep moving your living room furniture and trying new layouts. It's perfect where It is. You only need a skinny and tall table on the back of the sofa. That's what is turning you off.
Your living room is looking more and more gorgeous. Can't wait to see It with trim
ooh I like that idea!
I like the brass detail idea but not needed-- its so beautiful as is!
Love the table by itself. If you really wanted more brass, maybe just little trim corner pieces could be a nice balance with your accessories. 😊
I love that idea. She has those gold corner pieces she got from some estate sale to DIY frames.
Macenna, if you put shellac on all your timber after you have stained it you will get the yellowing and the lustre you are after. Shellac is the key. You mix it yourself and paint it on. It will be beautiful on all the timber in your house, give it a try xxx
Absolutely can’t wait to see the whole living room come together! I was just thinking in my head, “I wonder when she’s gonna finish the trim around the windows and door?” And you said it would all come together soon I was like oh YAY!! ♥️🫶🏽
It's a beautiful piece on it's own. I'd leave the brass off and add pieces to the top to get that look your wanting. This way the brass pieces you decorate the coffee table with aren't fighting with the trim.
I love the brass inlay go for it, you can always live with it without and add later. Love the video!
I’m glad you mentioned how the polycrylic spray just isn’t that great because omg I’ve tried it so many times and it always gives me a terrible finish! Just an FYI for anyone who thinks it might make their project go a little quicker- it won’t!!! Thanks MaCenna for mentioning it, because it made me doubtful about trying to apply it with a brush, but glad that works!!
The spray works well on small pieces.
I like the sofa across the back like that.
No Brass the table is beautiful as is.
You can add some sort of brass decal that are usually attached to drawer pulls in the center of the table top base in between those square shapes. Like maybe something floral shaped to make it feel more “cottage”.
I think the coffee table would look great with a piece of tempered glass to fit in the top area where you framed it out! It adds a little extra without adding something too contrasting like the brass.
And easier to clean and not get condensation rings.
The table is perfect as it is now.
I love all of your videos! I think if you put brass elements on the table it’s fine
I think the little bit of brass trim would look stunning & timeless. It’s so suttle I think it might lighten the heaviness of the table. But as long as you love it that’s all that matters.
This all in a perfect little row is driving me nuts.
I would say “no” to brass. I would add brass with the decor.
MaCenna. Just my thoughts. I've always imagined two wing back chairs facing your fireplace. That way you can see clearly through while still adding height. The sofa to the side.
I wouldn’t add the brass to the table it’s self, I’d go with adding brass decor. It just doesn’t go well with it in my opinion.
I love the brass! Yes to brass
I love the wooden trim only on the top with the brass decor… beautiful!
What about a smaller trim on the underneath shelf? There’s something beautiful about those thin brass pieces but again in person it might be too much. Love it as is regardless 😍
yes to the brass. it gives a nice finished look.
NO Brass!!
I vote No to the brass. The wood trim is perfect. I LOVED the Liv Rm arrangement you had at 18:38 of the video. If you add a large art piece on the left, or a few narrow/tall art pieces, it will help balance out the weight of the windows on the right. I love that symmetry. Love your channel and love that Kinsley has to approve all arrangements and addition. Thanks for all you teach us about just getting out there and trying and learning new things.
I think a console table behind the couch will look great and you can decorate it😉
the styling looks beautiful. love the brass vase rather than the hydrangea
No brass. Love it as is. Beautiful job.
I like it without the brass and the first design is the he best one 💖
Beautiful coffee table just like that no brass needed. Adding the brass whatnots is better❤
At first I liked the brass detail but after seeing the styling I think it looks elegant as is and prefer 26:05 decor. Great work on finding this piece and stain matching
