ARE YOU KIDDINGG this literally looks like something you’d see in architectural digest magazine!! Macenna you never cease to amaze me in the things you do
Come on! Mad skills girl! Mad wizardry skills! Well done! Well done
Gorgeous ❤❤❤
Omg THANK YOU! 🥹🥹🥹
I was thinking the exact same! Better then some celebrity pool yards I’ve seen on AD! 😍
Breathtaking!!!!!!
so the turf is not my cup of tea at all, but can we take a moment to admire that you actually built the curve of the pool from scrap turf pieces 😮 wow, the dedication to detail 🙌🥺 glad to see you so happy with the pool area! Enjoy it!
What always amazes me is how professional looking everything you do is, even if it’s your first time. Truly a talent you have.
Softening edges of turf to mirror curvature of pool was genius! Perfection! ❤
Hi MaCenna! Please, please, please read this message!
From a pure design esthetic, everything looks absolutely lovely. I truly like what you have created. Will you please record a video of the pool area lighted at night so we can see how it looks with your new solar lamps? They’re perfect for the space! Love the umbrella by the loungers, too!
As a dog parent myself, I offer you sincere words of advice… I urge you to do one of two things:
1. Always take Kinsley somewhere outside to potty in an area with natural grass.
2. Build Kinsley a fenced potty area with an impervious, washable liner and use real turf you can dispose of on a weekly basis. That way you can confine her waste to a specific area, in which she will grow accustomed to relieving herself. You’ll save the rest of the pool area for humans.
We cannot let our 80-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback off leash, so we take him out first thing in the morning, 30 minutes after breakfast, mid-morning, noon, mid-afternoon, 30 minutes after supper, and before bed, at minimum. It’s intense, but it’s what we have to do to make sure he potties outside where we can bag and remove poo from the yard. On real grass, we’ve found flushing pee with a quart of water keeps the grass from browning. The smell of urine on other surfaces (concrete, brick, wood, & carpet) is impossible to remove fully, no matter how much they’re cleaned. If you don’t want to have regrets, please think about these suggestions. Best of luck to you and Romeo.
Good advice.
It is unfortunately not common that they walk their animals several times a day as in EU. I know some do, but it's few. They just let them out in the yard.
@earthmama8384: From 23:43 to 24:11, did you not watch this where it shows the lighting at night?
@@angei8668really?! that’s so sad but it makes sense since I’ve seen a lot of Americans with full time jobs having dogs and I always wondered how they do it
I agree. If you walk your dog often enough and train them they will not pee on brick. Mine goes out 4 times a day and that is enough for him. Really depends on the dog. Kinsley peeing all over the turf feels very unhygienic and it will make it discolour fast.
I so enjoy seeing your excitement covering the bricks with astroturf. It must have been the same joy that those who covered their wood floors with wall-to-wall carpeting felt back in the day.
Love that you & Romeo are making the house YOUR home!
Saaaame, almost teared up at the end of the two of them and kins making s’mores bc it was Soo homie feeling 😊
I was a teensy bit skeptical about that turf looking good, but boy, does it work!! It looks fabulous and so much cozier now. You have done another beautiful transformation of a space, MaCenna. Well done, girl! ♥♥♥P.S. Kinsley is so cute, enjoying her new green space! ♥
You brought the area up to another level. Wonderful space to enjoy.
Thank you so much
Looks good! You may want to install an electrically controlled pool cover. Just flick a switch, and it opens and closes. It protects the pool from debris, and you use less pool chemicals because of less UV exposure. The cover gets cleaned a few times a year with a cover cleaner.
I love everything except for the fake grass but that’s just a personal thing. The lantern lights on the wall really helped a lot the vibe ! The hole area feels really cozy !
Looks so nice! I’m just thinking of the turf that was glued down by my front patio and part of our garage area when we bought our house…it stunk like cat pee…we had the hardest time getting it up and even after power washing, the glue still shows…so all this to say, I pray you don’t later feel regret, then struggle yo get it up off the brick…
Yes! Similar experience here but ours was so old. Maybe the newer version is better.
I was wondering how you get that glue off 😖
Oh man. I’m nervous about this.
My first thought too. Brick is soft. Trying to scrape or power wash won't be good for that brick.
that glue will certainly ruin the brick if it has to be torn out...
Wasn't sure in the beginning about the turf, but I'm sold, it looks fantastic. Love the cutouts. Yes, a fountain is needed!😊 The lantern lughts looks fabulous.❤
It's so good to see you living to your best life!
I would never glue that down. It will stay where you put it without all that. And if you decide you want to take it out, it wouldn't be a nightmare to get up. But its your home so you get to do your own thing. Glue is a nightmare.
Oh, that turf fill is a NIGHTMARE for cleanup, it gets absolutely everywhere.
That's what I was thinking. In Kingsley's fur, the pool, in shoes...😢
Wonderful as usual. Please put some sand (play sand will be fine) in the bottom of your fire pit. It helps dissipate the heat from the burning logs, and your pit will last longer. And I know it usually doesn't rain often in SoCal (this year being an exception), but you'll want to get a cover for it too to ensure it lasts. Great job!
Thank you so much !!!!! I will definitely do that!!
There’s a hole in the bottom of the fire pit, to stop rain water sitting in the bottom.
@@karenmcgarry1418 even if it drains its better if rain doesn’t touch it at all
@@nyphira I was replying with regards to the sand. The hole in the bottom will mean the sand will drain out 😝😝
@@karenmcgarry1418 ooh like that, but youre right. Wouldn’t work unless she closes the hole with metal
Kinsley loves it for sure !
All your beautiful brick😩
Everything you touch you turn to gold 😍
I am not a fan of pet turf/faux grass, but I love how this turned out! So cute with the green grass, red geraniums, brick and terracotta pots. Really stunning, and the cut outs were the perfect way to break up the green! Nice job.😄👏
You might want to think about putting bowls/receptacles under your big pots to catch the drainage from the plants. Otherwise your "grass" might start to get quite "yucky" underneath! Everything looks wonderful!
LOVE the step transition. Nice camera work!
Thank you!!
This looks amazing!!! I think flower boxes under the windows on the house would tie in some of the floral elements from the opposite side. You’re so talented!
I love it! Turf has come a long way and is prefect for your area. As a furbaby mom this is just right. Love the cut outs and curves! Those lights are prefect for that area. You did good young lady!!❤
Absolutely stunning transformation! 😍🫶😍❤️ So beautiful!!!
The "steps" clip!!
It was so fun that you edited this way.
Also loved the attention to details 🤌🏻
You are going to need a blower that vacuums so you can keep care of that turf. My suggestion is for your to make Kesley her own potty area that you can keep clean in that corner around the door you come out of. Dogs will go back to the same area once it has their sent. You can use the same turf, put it in a wood frame or over the drain area. I would not encourage her using the turf by the pool. Also Kensley should really be using the front yard away from the coyotes and never alone, should be on lease.
Yup! NEVER in a MILLION YEARS would I have thought to do this! And of course, it looks like a MILLION DOLLARS! Well done MaCenna!
Simply beautiful! Any thing you add will enhance the beauty.
GIRL, I WAS NOT REA-DY FOR THE @16:44 EDIT!! Like it’s so evident how much you enjoy editing, and what an expert you’ve become, but each new video you just raise the bar! Kudos!!!
IKR!! That edit was bomb
Awwwww thank you so much!!! I do enjoy it so much!! Sometimes I think of cute transitions and I film them but they don’t work haha I’m so glad this one worked 💕
😂even Kinsley did her part ! ❤her
Yes! Thats why I watch every vídeo it's so relaxing to watch ❤
My jaw dropped!!
McCenna, it looks absolutely beautiful .I think instead of the cut-outs by the gate, a curved brick path would be more realistic and less of a tripping hazard/hassle to keep glued down.
WOW! MaCenna…. Just Wow…it’s gorgeous❤️ It brought the garden in! You feel more intimate with your surroundings and yet still having individual conversation spaces and activities. I adore your channel 🥰 I grew up in California, my family still lives there but I married a Boston man and have raised my family here in Cape Cod. Your ascetic and mine are soul mates!🥰 You are full of inspiration and ideas! Thank you
Love the rounded grass corners. Kensley looks very happy with it. Great job, beautiful.
Love it! And love Kinsley rubbing around on the grass. 😂She knew it was for her!
Those cut out’s make it look Barbie dream house in the best possible way!
MaCenna, your growth in your videos is just awesome to witness! Thank you for sharing!
I absolutely love what you’ve done. It is absolutely beautiful! I hope you’re happy with the turf. My youngest son, who lives in San Diego, just had his entire backyard turfed because he thought it was going to be lower maintenance, but it’s turned out to be very high maintenance, as it’s difficult keeping it clean. Spraying it with the hose just doesn’t do it. I really hope you don’t have the same issue. 😊
Late evening here in Belfast Northern Ireland.. So I’m gonna have a sneaky cuppa before bed and watch 🤎 love you lots our friend MaCenna… I hope you’ve a lovely week xO
love that you put those smaller chairs on the other side of the pool such a great use of that space! perfect for guests too!!! The whole space looks amazing! Love those solar lights you found!!
It was a lot of brick...this is the first time I've ever liked the use of faux grass. It looks amazing!
I’m stuck in limbo with my hopeful new deck. Thanks for giving me something to take my mind off the craziness.
I never thought I’d see you use fake grass ever. As someone who’s tried doing something similar, albeit in a smaller place and not around a pool, turf does not last well (and I even bought the expensive kind), it just stops looking good very fast.
Plus it emits a lot of micro plastic, and how are they going to leaf blow without the “sand” disappearing.
Everything else looks great 😊
My daughter had has the long blade turf in and area for 5 years, and it still looks great, not worn, and since it’s on the south side, it takes a beating.
My parents turf looks great and they’ve had it for years. Guess it truly depends on the brand and not the price.
I'm still a bit baffled at letting Kinsley pee on it...that will discolour it fast (besides the hygiene issue)
@@amara560 it’s pet grade astroturf. It’s made for that.
Wow what a change! Perfect addition
Some wall planters would look so good on those brick walls that are painted white
Love all the greenery! Reminds me of those natural pools
Ahhhh...this made it look so much better back there!!
I'm not the biggest fan of turf but this still looks great!
I loved the brick so this made me sad. 🥺
So much to play with😊 and almost reaching 1M, congratulations!🎉🎉🎉
Love the arch to artificial grass.The solar lights are spot on
It looks beautiful
This faux grass can get really hot and needs to be hosed off at times . My neighbors have this and it to hot for their kids and sweet pups . Must admit it looks pretty !
Went from beautiful to gorgeous
It's amazing people think I'm good at making my house pretty but I could never think like you do in a million years when you rounded off the grass to fit in with the edge of the pool WoW!!! X see you next time lots of love to the 3 of you ❤️❤❤
MaCenna, you make me dream owning my own home. I just want to do what I want to my own place. Amazing work.
I love love love all of it especially the solar lights! The light temperature is perfect 😍
I wasn't sure, but you convinced me! I liked the extra chairs placed on back wall. At the end I saw you took them away. I feel it really completed the area. You should go for something new for front porch and put these back by pool. I'd love if you could show us a bit of LA, your favorite spots, places to eat, shop, hang out, building, parks....etc😊
The transformation made the space so cozy and inviting! I would spend all of my time out there! Great for KInsley and for all of the entertaining you want to do. Thank you as always for sharing and inspiring us!
MACENNA!!! I doubted you girl. I didn’t see the vision, I couldn’t fathom fake grass over brick, but I’ll never doubt you again. It’s clearly STUN’N! 🤍
Wow!!! My most favorite transformation yet ❤
I love how you visualize your ideas on the design of your makeovers! 😊😊😊 Looking forward on the other rooms 😊
I love turf. And I think it looks amazing and I'm absolutely inspired. I can't wait to see where this goes in the future.
Speaking of the future you often come back to projects and do wonderful little crafting things and I thought I would remind you for the future that when you're looking for little projects your fire pit is a great place to start. There are molds to help you recycle newspaper into basically recycled paper logs? And there are minerals you can add that make your fire glow different colors which is fun for special occasions. And at Christmas time wax dipped pine cones burn and smell wonderful. I just know that you're out there enjoying that pool right now so I figured hey what a great way to build up a list of future content right? Congratulations your home is lovely
Your attention to detail and willingness to do things precisely as they should be done is UNMATCHED. I love every one of your videos!!
You are truly gifted. Amazing.Beautiful.Gorgeous! Wish my husband were as agreeable as your wonderful Romeo. He is game for all that you do, which always turns out amazing.
This came out so beautifully and I especially love Kinsley's reaction to it! You could just tell that she's so excited to have a grassy knoll to sun bathe on. What a sweetheart she is! ❤ you guys did an amazing job as always
Turned out beautiful.
those night time visuals are gorgeous! very serene, romantic, and welcoming!!
Beautiful job! The turf really elevated the area!
just my opinion, but I personally think the cut-outs (especially for the steps) cheapen it a bit, it makes it looks that much more like turf because you notice how thin it is and just highlights that the turf is just placed on top of the brick
Beautiful job as always!
We have artificial turf and it gets hotter than our concrete… hope you have better luck… 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
I think you've done an amazing job at creating an intimate and beautiful pool space. Don't let other people's opinions and experiences bring you down. We all have to live and learn a little. I think it looks great especially since it brings you and Romeo so much joy.
You can put stones or thin pavers in the cutouts to level them off with the turf. I think it would look nicer.
Kinsley rolling around on the turf! We are about to put some in our backyard, even though I don’t love it, it will be great for our dog to roll in something other than desert dirt ❤🐶
What a difference, it’s great! Love how you did the magic camera edits 👌🏼🌲🌿🌳💚🐶
Beautiful and cosy.
The patio looks so nice, what a great place to relax and enjoy your home.
Macenna!! Beautiful!!!! Do a pool fountain I swear it brings me back to my childhood and it’s fun to swim under 😂
This makeover came out so cozy and beautiful! Just the right touch for your space. It reminded me of those summer movies where there is just something special about being in the backyard. I love it!
People in these comments are being unfairly harsh about the turf. I am not a fan of fake grass either but MaCenna explains her reasons well and it makes sense for this space. Time will tell if it works out but that is part of renovating - trialling and LEARNING. Chill out, people! (Although in fairness I hope that glue doesn't ruin the brick if they do change their mind on the turf!)
I like to think the previous owners like to watch these updates and are cheering you on while you make this beautiful home your own.
I think about that too! ❤
Awh Macenna....this had me in tears it is so beautiful....i love your energy and vision. xo Shelley
From a distance the idea of grass looks brilliant. The colour is a great contrast to the brick. But that turf is so bad environmentally and it’s going to be a real pain to keep clean with all of your tree and leaf litter…
Your eye for design is amazing
Looks great! I know fake grass can often still get very hot, so I would keep an eye on it, especially if doggo is walking on it in the heat
my thought too, plastic grass heats up and the brick under will retain the heat as well
its more livelyy great choice i love the new deco in the pool so comfy and cozyy yehey!!!
What a wonderful job you did in your backyard around the pool, it’s amazing! I know you and Romeo are really enjoying your new home, it’s beautiful!
Genius great job! Enjoy Kinsley girl!!
I hope you don’t mind me saying artificial turf gets just as hot as brick, and can get very hot for little paws, we took ours out not get for dogs, I do love how it looks in your video ❤🇬🇧
Yup
I'm watching this in horror. Macenna always researches everything so well, can't believe she missed this one.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!! True perfection!
Omg!!! This is so good! The fact that I'm also making over my Spanish house's patio on my channel right now makes it even better. You've always been an inspiration for me!! 🤍🤍
So nice!
I love that Kinsley is really a mummy's baby
How do u take something already beautiful and make it even more beauty-fuller 😂❤ gorgeous!!!
I think I would have personally lived with the turf there for a bit before I actually glued it down to make sure I REALLY REALLY LOVED IT! Had turf and the amount of leaves and dirt your lush greenery leaves on the bricks I can see this being a big pain to keep clean, also if Kensley uses it for pottying it can start to smell. Even if you think you have good drainage. Now that you glued it down it’s extremely hard to get that glue off, actually pretty much impossible to remove it with no left marks. Really think you should have lived with it a bit before you glued it😬
Awesome 😊 I love everything you've done.. you know what you're doing, no more hot bricks, when tempts go high. Great idea 👍👍❤
The turf in my experience gets very hot. I hope this pet turf doesn’t! It looks beautiful.
I did turf around my house and love it. It just gives the sense of being cooler
Macenna your transformation are truly unbelievable. Obsessed with how it turned out ✨❤️
Wow! This turned out so great!! Good job MaCenna!
I am not sure to understand how this faux grass can be drained if there is some glue, paper and bricks underneath? I don’t think that this kind of grass is very good for the environment and I heard that it can get very hot in the sun, so your little dog must be very careful. As soon as she is going to pee on it, (or more), it is going to become such a mess! Nice look but not the real deal. The no grass under the lounge chairs is not “French”, I have never seen that in France during my very long time living there as a French woman.
Also your little round table is probably not in teak, woods like cedar or even in France, some oaks may become gray with water. So your little round table outside needs an urgent rescue before becoming totally good for the trash, it would be a pity because it is cute. Your teak chairs may remain nice like now if you clean them and nourish them with the right product for teak.
The whole plastic yard is not really my thing, nothing can replace the fresh smell of real grass, and I’m sure that your little dog will agree with me.
I am also kind of confused on how the drainage is supposed to work. Seems like a recipe for disaster
@@amara560 I’m glad to see that I am not the only one who is confused.
love!!! PS. We have the exact same fire pit here in SoCal, I highly highly HIGHLY suggest putting it away (or buying a cover for it) for when you're not using it/when it rains because it rusted so easily and while they're cheap to replace its much better to maintain what you've got for the sake of waste!
