AHHH It's kitchen time! I've been waiting for this slab for what feels like forever...!!!
Hi, Drew! 😁🤚
When 2 of your favourite you tubers are friends 😍😍😍
Ahhhhh me tooooo I’ve been dreaming of this moment for wayyyy to long!
When your both not craaaaazy busy with building houses, your schedules, raising your fur babies and being awesome - little miss me would DIE for another colab possibly maybe pretty please cherry on top ?🥰🥰🥰
You and me both Drew 😂
I can’t decide which is more entertaining.. watching MaCenna build this kitchen out or sweet Kinsley carry that blue cap everywhere and drop it at MaCenna’s feet!! ❤️😂
Kinsley… by a nose ❤️🐶
Yes!
I have to admit, when Kinsley was playing with her blue cup and wanted mom to play with her, I kinda stopped listening to MaCenna and just watched Kinsley.
Kinsley 😄😍😍😍😊
Kinsley is everything 🥰
Dang, girl, I want to be you when I grow up! (I’m 65 lol). I’m just amazed at how innovative and creative you are. Those porch posts are absolutely perfect, and black makes your incredible island a total showstopper! You are simply astonishing, and my absolute favorite RUclipsr.
We built our house almost 50 yrs ago...and l was so sick of this place ...t b at l took two week vacation after we finally finished....don't let anybody romanticize building house ..it is hard demanding 24-7 days of worrying work and sweat...and l had 2 kids to look after and meals to cook and my husband was working a full-time job!!! I love our house...but you wouldn't have loved my videos🤣✌
Wow, this got me emotional - felt like a full circle moment and I love how you’re bringing us along with you. You can truly feel how rewarding it is for you to see your visions come to life at your own hands. And the preciousness of Miss Kinsley’s ‘supervision’, just gorgeous🥺
SO invested in this journey, MaCenna, thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏻
Aww me too I was so proud of her she's unstoppable and there's no end to her talent & skills. When they were bringing in the counter top and she and her mum were watching together filled my heart!! Xx
Exactly how I felt!!!
In all those books you've been collecting you've gotta have some vintage cookbooks you can display in that rack! And I'm really interested to see you use the gallery rails - I think they're so pretty and add so much gorgeous character!
That's what I was thinking too
That’s exactly what I was thinking too! It might be that she’s calling it a spice rack but will fill it with cookbooks because spices would be more convenient near the stove. 😊
I thought the same! Such a good space for cookbooks 😍
Imagine being able to tell your children and grandchildren that you built an entire kitchen! (& house!) Just incredible and you really inspire me ❤️
And how amazing is it that she’s repurposed so much of the woodwork that’s original to the house :)
And imagine that they will probably be able to watch their grandma Macanna build it on RUclips! How awesome!
I just love how every little piece of this home has been so thoroughly thought out and planned! Looove the black 😍 it also ties in so well with the soap stone! Cannot wait to see how it all comes together 🥹
Using the ends of the posts for a beautiful bed/perch for Kingsley could be a lovely idea. I love your ottoman idea as well 😍
I think the left over legs would be perfect for a coffee table in the living room! OR a bench for the foot of the bed in a cottage or in your room!
I love the brass gallery rail ideas. I'd love to see a brass foot rail for the island seating as well!
Omg I love that idea!!!!!! Thank you!
Absolutely!!
I thought the same also about the brass foot rail, it would really make that side pop! I also love the black, it completely transformed the island. I have a picture I saved on Pinterest of a drawer that rolls out under the farmers sink instead of doors and also one that would be great for storage in the space on your island. I’m amazed how you are building those cabinets❣️❤️❤️❤️
Seeing Kinsley supervising your DIY projects makes me so happy 😍 She must be happy being around you all day again.
I love how Kinsley is 'helping' mommie by carrying around his blue lid in all these videos!!! Xoxo
when she shook off the dust from the nail gun i lost it lol
It's Kinsley randomly dropping her blue cap everywhere for me 😁
Can't wait to see the final kitchen. Been waiting forever (what it feels like)
BEAUTIFUL ISLAND!!! Just a dream…That granite IS AWESOME…
Thanks for being such a great role model for young girls! My eight year old daughter keeps saying how smart you are and good at building things. It shows her that she could do something like this someday too 💗 we love watching your channel
Right? Makes me want to build something. Anything really.
I CANNOT GET OVER HOW GORGEOUS THIS IS! I swear, MaCenna and I have identical tastes. I LOVE how everything is coming together!
Twinssss!!!!! 🥰🥰
I agree!!
That’s what I was thinking! She always does exactly what I would do 😂
The island looks amazing! I love how you’re not afraid to tackle anything and you are such a great role model for young women!
I agree -she’s amazing 🤩
Yes and yes, and the elderly... 😉 60 AND PROUD!
Indeed!
I'm amazed with every single video!
I agree! My hubby loves catching up on what you've been doing. I hope you're SO PROUD of yourself.
From doing thrift flips to building a WHOLE HOUSE! Amazing 👏
So glad you have little Kinsley to help you every step of the way! I can’t figure out which one of you is cuter! The house is looking great!
My father was a carpenter/cabinet builder, watching you build your own cabinets is not only impressive but brings back fond memories of helping my father. I knew you were going to choose black paint for the island, it’s so complimentary to that gorgeous marble. I have to say Kinsey’s playfulness with that blue cap was an added bonus - she’s an adorable happy dog. 🤩
Omg Kingsley… my heart! The way she kept bringing you the blue lid and looking at you through the window. She is the cutest thing.
SUPER CUTE
“I’ve never done this before. I’d say it looks pretty good.” UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE CENTURY. Everything you touch is GOLD!!
24:47 Kinsley was not having it anymore. She was like, "That's enough woodworking today, Mom. Play time!" 🤣
I honestly teared up at the end when you were showing us the island, it’s so beautiful and it’s so amazing watching it all come together 👌Gooorgeous!
Did u actually win? I received a message like this and I'm not sure it's real lol
AAAHHH I DROPPED EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY TO WATCH THIS UPDATE! Can't wait to get into it!!
Edit: LOLL Kinsley with that lid is SOO cute!!
Me too lol
Haha same
Hahahaha aww you’re too sweet!!! Thank you!
yess SAME!!!!!
@@XOMaCenna don’t hide her lid toy 😂😂😂
As usual, I'm blown away by the things you're able to build and how you envision them BUT Kinsley TOTALLY stole the show this week lol. She was so cute following you around while you were building and putting her blue lid everywhere. She's such a total cutie. Wouldn't mind some Kinsley merch
That space next to the spice cabinet would be so cute as shelving on both sides for cook books!
I love this idea, but 4” depth is too shallow. I kept thinking decorative antique glass or crockery with a invisible lighting. It’s very inconvenient for spices.
Painting the island black just pulled that whole space together! It grounds it and relates to the windows and soapstone counters. Your balancing of materials and colours is perfection!
I would strongly recommend when you build in your structure to cover the garbage disposal etc. in your undersink cabinet, that you create the sides and front as one single piece that can then be slid out of the cupboard entirely, as this will make it much, much easier in the event that you need to have work done on any of the plumbing. I have to say I'm really impressed with how true to your original vision this kitchen is turning out, and it looks absolutely stunning! You are doing such great work, im so happy for you that all your hard work is paying off now and you are getting to do all the fun stuff and seeing it all come together. Is it weird that I'm really stupidly proud of a complete stranger? 😃
I agree with the slide out idea. Having had to work on 2 garbage disposals as soon as MaCenna mentioned building sides around the garage disposal i thought oh no. Otherwise it is beautiful. MaCenna kuddos to you!! and Romeo too!
NEVER HAS MY BREATH BEEN TAKEN AWAY BEFORE BY A KITCHEN ISLAND......... I literally gasped at its beauty, depth of character and personality. Wow.... so welcoming and alive. Enjoy you deserve it 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Does anyone else get a little giddy and want to cry with excitement every time some new big thing happens to the house? I thought electricity day was huge but this video is a million times bigger!! 🥰
I cry almost every video and I’m not ashamed!
Yes! I am so proud as if I were her mama. She is such an inspiration. I am so happy that it is finally all coming together for her.
@@judymendezmartinez176 agree! I see her doing things like building her own cabinets and just keep thinking “she is the coolest.” I just love her.
You're an inspiration, actual girl boss, love seeing how you seamlessly build works of art, your home is going to be so beautiful!
Black was absolutely the right choice for the island! It looks amazing! The kitchen is coming together so nicely
you may want to add an access panel on the side of the island so you can get into that dead space for storage. Lots of over sized items you could store in there. Looking good!
Could be a sheet pan storage space
Large oversized platters can be stored as well as the sheet pans.
Paper towels in bulk too !
I saw someone store a six foot long folding table in a space like this…. They used it for crafting and paint projects so it kept their dinning table free of that kind of thing but could be stored away when it wasn’t needed.
Thats a good idea!
I absolutely love that you are building your own cabinets. That would scare me, but you are just tackling it and getting it done. An idea for the end rack on the island would be to slip in some vintage cookbooks with beautiful front covers. Can't wait to see your kitchen completed!
The island looks amazing!, I particularly like that you incorporated the porch posts into the design. I am in awe, not only of what you choose to take on just by watching RUclips videos, but also by the great job you do. I like when you explain your thought process for why you make your design choices and am amazed by the number of variables you take into account.. On a side note, Kinsley is adorable! I particularly enjoy watching her carrying around her blue cap.😁
I imagine you have likely finished more of the kitchen but wanted to share an idea just in case.
While boxing in the garbage disposal you could use magnets to secure the front panel and attach a pull ring or simply cut a finger hole in a top corner. Given that area has water flowing through it, the quicker the accessibility during a crisis the better.
You are doing an incredible job with your cottage. I believe you are inspiring many with your designing and building things like the island with no prior experience. Even stepping outside your “comfort zone” with colour choices, like the island, likely gives people the incentive to go bravely where they have not before.
I grinned when you squealed with delight at your refrigerator. Being a fresh food foodie, that is something I would do.
Keep doing all you do. You are teaching with every paintbrush stroke and screw of your drill.
Happy homemaking! With gratitude and grace~XOXO
When they put the countertop on the island, I almost started crying of happiness for her!
I CRIED! hahaha thank youuuu
@@XOMaCenna Ahhhh. That “Vein” that you love so much, I love so much, we all love so much. S T U N N I N G !
Same! I wanted to reach out and touch that vein too! It was perfection.
The pony wall that you brought out 10" from the back of island would be perfect narrow storage for baking sheets, muffin pans, etc if you added doors on either sides of islands. Really great narrow storage idea
I was thinking that it was a missed opportunity not putting doors on the back of the island to access that storage.
I agree, I see open book shelves or platter storage would be nice. I see plate rack, vases or candle sticks storage were the proposed spice rack is.
I agree I was thinking a slide out rack would be perfect for that space.
@@prosie1968 Yes, definitely an open bookshelf for the pretty cookbooks of Romeo! That way, it looks really custom
@@prosie1968 Awesome idea! Spices aren't pretty or interesting and can be hidden, but a wall with cookbooks and pretty platters, maybe a bud vase, could look fantastic when viewed from the dining room!!
MaCenna, I feel so vested in your home projects. I cry when you cry I laugh when you laugh and I get giddy and excited along with you. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. It’s been exciting, nerve wrecking, happy every and all types of emotions. I’m here sitting and waiting by the edge of my seat for the next installment of the series. I’m so happy for you.
17:22 Kinsley & her little lid.. I can’t!!!!
Kinsley is the best little DIY helper!! 🥰🐾
I was so shocked when you said you were painting the island black but it’s ties into the windows and soap stone counters beautifully 😍😍😍
Its so cute that kinsley just stays put whenever you’re painting but still by your side
The gallery rails?!!??!!! Macenna you’re killing me. EVERYTHING IS SO PRETTY
You are an awesome carpenter! It’s looking sooo nice! You are also frugal in your buying. You are also a talented designer. Be blessed.
I had no idea how invested I would be in this series. I started watching literally day 1 when you showed us the cottage after you got the keys. And I was like, "Ok, i'm not sure how I feel about going from DIYs and interior decorating in LA to this" and then here I am, just waiting for every episode to drop.
We are hooked now !!!🤗
I loved that this video was slightly longer than your others. To be honest, the longer the better. I love watching the transition from before and after with all the hard work you are putting in to this renovation!! You are amazing ; you are learning as you go along! I'm rooting for you and so proud of you! Great job!
That black with the granite and the hardware for the sink… beautiful. Your design style is amazing.
Lord have mercy!!!!! You are so talented lady!!! God has blessed you with talent and knowledge of design and wood working and just so many gifts♡ The house should be on t.v. you really need your own show! There could be another home show from Texas ya know!!! You and Romeo just make my day watching your vlogs. Keep up the remarkable work sweet heart because you have got it!!!!!!!
I see Kinsey still has her little cap. She is so cute. Your kitchen is stunning. You have become a master builder!!! And black was where I was hoping you would land💜
Just utterly insanely good 😮♥️ the fact that you built the whole thing yourself, and it looks soooooooo expensive!!! The black is perfection! It picks up on your window frames and the soapstone so beautifully but still makes such a statement!!! Omg it's all incredible 🤤🤤
You should be immensely proud of yourself! What an accomplishment at each stage of this renovation/build. I listen to you describing what you're doing in this girly, kind of giddy tone and it's funny to reconcile that with the fact that you are doing something, "for the first time", that most people hire a skilled professional to do at great expense. Your parents must be over the moon proud of the person you are!
I love how the pup keeps bringing his blue cup 😊
Omg I died a little when the countertop guy dropped his metal thingy (technical term 🤣) on your hardwoods! 😅 The kitchen is looking BEAUTIFUL and I am so inspired by your work and building all those beautiful cabinets yourself. You’re amazing!
Me tooo 🙄 I was like really …. Hahaha
Thank youuuuuuu
Same girl...same. lmao 😱
As did i.
Same here. My heart stopped for a second :D
Omg same…I let out an audible gasp 😧
Macenna! You have grown so much! Your carpentry skills are…. AMAZING! I was telling my husband that you build beautiful quality in the work you do; and it will last forever. Your kitchen is so beautiful. Beyond words. Every time Kinsley got near the paint I actually talked out saying oh honey! Don’t get it in you! 😁
Thank you so much!!!
Macenna I am OBSESSED with the black island. It helps the space feel more full and cozy I think!
Your tears reaction McKenna, and your Mom there to share the moment. So happy for you.
I've been refreshing this page all day nonstop because of the anticipation. I haven't been able to get that picture you posted yesterday of the countertops out of my head. It looks beautiful.
Awww thank you!!!!!! 🥰
Same!
me toooo
Me too!!
Hit the bell notification
The countertops. Are you kidding me. So absolutely beautiful. I am so happy and excited for you!
Thank youuuuuuu!!!!!
I have been watching you since before you bought your beautiful cottage and today your episode made my literally cry. Your kitchen is so amazing and what a feeling it must be to have done this by your own hand. Well done McKenna you are an inspiration.
I really love how you are make all there builds by yourself and you are not afraid of anything. Another thing I love love love in your work is that you always take your time to make it perfect, not just an average job. Wishing you only happy memories in the house!
You and your home need to be featured on House and Home or Architectural Digest. Your talent is beyond any designer because YOU also build it! I am just in awe Macenna. This will be your forever home. Thank you for taking us on the journey. ❤️🤩
Black is a stroke of genius! I also love how it connects with the soapstone as well. Your videos give me life!! Wonderful work!
It truly ties in the soapstone from the counters and makes everything look so cohesive. Love it!
I am OBSESSED with the way you keep everything and find a use for it. Can’t wait to see what you use those little cut offs from the posts for
17:34 “I’m helping!” Haha warmed my heart ❤️
That island is EVERYTHING!!! You did a fabulous job on it. I’m so impressed with your skills Mac!! Can’t wait to see the entire kitchen finished. I want to see that lighting fixture up lol.
I can't believe how much work you have done yourself. Your so talented. The kitchen island looks beautiful and the black matches the soapstone on the cupboards.
In love with the kitchen renovation... will admire Kingsley too how calmly she is around the work ... very cool choice to paint the island black... i am in love with black paint too it brings alot of character to the space ✨️ 😍
You absolutely 100% nailed the colour buy painting the island black it’s gorgeous, classy, and allocates your kitchen to level over the top well done😊👍👍👍
Macenna, you truly are a wonderwoman! You approach everything with such enthusiasm and confidence and the amount of work you’ve done on this reno is nothing short of spectacular! Well done on the gorgeous island. I dread to think how much a cabinet maker would have charged for your kitchen alone. By the way-how cute is Kinsley walking around with her little blue lid 🥰
i have never been so excited for someone else's house before. ugh I love your kitchen!! I'm obsessed with that black island with brass features. 🙌 great job
I got tears in my eyes when they put on the countertop on the island. It's so exciting to see your vision come to life 🥺❤️
I love Kinsley bringing you her toys!
MACENNA OH MY GOODNESS. I did NOT expect you to make the island black, but you totally know your house. It's all coming together so beautifully !!!
When you were talking about paint colors I was literally saying “please paint it black” 🥰 Sooo beautiful!!!!
Me too 😂💖
OH MY GOSH! I LOVE the black! You are such an inspiration for women everywhere. There is no job you won't tackle! I have loved watching this all come together.
You are on determined hardworking girl
Good job
I love the way u scream after a task is accomplished its so cute
You never cease to amaze me. I cannot believe how talented and capable you are. I just wallpapered my pantry and that was almost over my talent level. Great job!!!
Kinsley wanting to play is why I love that you have two channels! ❤️ one for the info and one for kinsley and your momma 😂❤️
You are so impressive! The black island is perfection. It will be there for at least 100 years. The counter tops, the faucets, all yummy.
Wow! Wow! Wow! I’d give you a standing ovation. The island is so beautiful, strong and appealing.
I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!! The space next to the shelving, where you kept it open to add electric, you should do a storage drawer. We had a cabinet that shape growing up and my Mom used it for baking sheets and cutting boards.
It's so incredible MaCenna! It took everything in me to not immediately fast forward to the end. haha
Love the idea of using those for legs for an ottoman for the reading room. Candle stick idea is also a nice option. But the ottoman legs just sounds perfect for your home.
I agree! An ottoman or a bench in front of the bed 😍
This is AMAZING!!!! I guessed black would be the island color in your Instagram poll, and was soo excited about it! It is even more beautiful than I imagined though. This kitchen is beyond! So, who wants to go redo their own kitchen now? 😍😂
I really love your decision to paint the island black. It really anchors the room 🖤
macenna, i just bought a home & you've been such an inspiration to me. after watching this renovation series for so long, i feel empowered by you to be able to tackle home projects!
Yayyyy!! That makes me so happy! 🥰🥰 congrats on your new home
@@XOMaCenna thank you so much!
This house is AMAZING!!! You're going to get so many calls to start a renovation TV show after this cottage is finished.
She may get calls to BUILD a house..I know she could do it without a doubt, she's amazing!!😍
15:52 ❤️ Kinsley is still obsessed with her blue cap. Such a darling she is.
It looks awesome! And Kinsley with her blue cap baby...so sweet!
I looooove how many Original pieces from the House get salvaged!😍 And I love the out come of all your DIY‘s!🥰✨✌🏻🇩🇪
I would reccomend maybe tiling or doing peel and stick tile under your kitchen sink. Even though you're doing a great job getting everything "perfect", you don't want your cabinets ruined if the plumbing leaks
You are the TRUTH! Great job on the island. It's stunning!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the black island in the midst of all the soft colors.
Kinsley in the background 15:20 is so cute. Glad she can hangout with you at home.
I’m so glad you took advantage of that extra 4” next to the dishwasher. It can be so useful for spices, cookbooks, utensils, decor, whatever!!
I think the black island is THE right choice as it ties in the black countertops so freaking well !!
Absolutely stunning. You have come such a long way and your skills have just completely been blown out of the water 🤯. I can’t believe you designed and built your kitchen. I’m speechless! There’s no stopping you. Thank you for taking the time to record and EDIT these vlogs. I know that it is hours of work! Can’t wait to keep following along. Thanks for inspiring so many of us!!
OMG I was holding my breath when they were bringing in the island top 😳. I love seeing Kinsley in the video with her top toy 😍. Absolutely beautiful island!!
Omg! Am I only the only one almost crying!?! The faucet looks amazing!
I absolutely love the black island! U did an amazing job building the cabinets!
Can hardly wait for next episode!
🥰🥰🥰
I was def right there with you!! I found myself with tears in my eyes a couple times, just watching her totally amazes me!
I have been watching you for a few years from your La apartment to this beautiful cottage now. All the hard work you and Romeo have accomplished. I'm so proud of you and the journey. Great job sweetie.💕
This was my all-time favorite video so far! The island turned out so pretty it makes me want to cry haha. I love it sooooooo much!!!!
Yes. I agree with you. I would not have the courage to try something like this. She has to know what kind of wood to buy, the measurements have to be perfect and I don't know if anyone is helping her, but this is amazing.
