Even though I'm sure your main thought creating this content isn't on being a role model, I would definitely consider you one. A seriously great role model for women to go after their dreams, work hard for them and not be afraid to take on things that aren't necessarily conventional for women.
100%
AGREE!!
Umm am I the only one SHOOOK that MaCenna just said she was 32?! Girll i could have sworn you were like 25 wowwww 😍😍😍
I literally dropped EVERTHING to come to the comments to see who else is SHOOKED
Same I’m 26 and I was like what?? She looks my age or younger lol
I wasn't shocked lol, I'm almost 30 and also look super young. I could feel the 30's feel from her lol. Iykyk
SAME!
Hahaha omg im 26 and i was CONVINCED that she was quite a bit younger than me 🤯🤯🤯
I think we all love that this series isn’t a quick over-produced show that has a secret team behind the scenes doing everything. This is amazing content and I’m so proud of you for going for you dreams!! I hope ALL young people watching remember that saving when you’re young is key to fulfilling your future dreams🥰
Totally this! 💯 But there’s also a big part of me that kind of wishes MaCenna would hire an editor to help work on video production, especially when she’s so flat out working on renovations! Not because she isn’t doing an amazing job (or that I don’t love seeing how much she accomplishes by herself! 😍), but to give a bit of breathing room to focus on the things only she can do (though I can appreciate there must be an adjustment period for something like this, where it actually ends up being more work to be training someone up to work with you instead of just doing it yourself!). I feel so completely exhausted just sitting here watching and knowing how much work must go into everything, so for the 2p of this one random subscriber MaCenna, I hope you at least have this idea in the back of your mind as an option if it all gets to be too much, and that there’s absolutely no shame in delegating some tasks if you need to! ❤️
Please document renovating your parents property that they bought also!!!! I’m so excited for that one
I think she said they’re building new.
@@denises9426 Right? Pretty sure that property (and the one across the street from it) was a tear-down
I can never get over how beautiful is MaCenna's handwriting
I second that! You should create a font, MaCenna :)
Right!!!!
agree
Same !
Everything she does is beautiful
Anyone else feel so invested into the cottage? Like every week I’m like where Macenna with an update to “OUR Cottage”
Am I the only one that thinks MaCenna looks like a sibling to all the Olson sisters?? Also, I am really loving this series! And there's no way you're 32. You're gorgeous and your positivity is amazing.
Omg yes now that you mention it !
She did a vídeo recreating Elisabeth Olsens pictures!! They really do look alike!!
Yep, she always gets that
I have always thought she looked like Emily Blunt! 😄
@@HappyHomeMama yeah she does too ^^
All the hard work she’s putting in to this and she’s not relocating 🥲 I thought she was moving this whole time.
When MaCenna says it’s not like TV.
Me: yeah! It’s better!
My husband and I renovated a 400 year old farmhouse in Wales, it was extremely hard work but also really satisfying to turn something old and derelict into a beautiful family home 😊
Whoa!! I bet it looks amazing!! 😍😍👏🏻👏🏻
Dang I'd love to see a video of that process and the before and afters!
It was awful at times ,we had an asbestos roof that had to be removed and replaced. I remember having buckets all over the place to catch water leaking in cause it rains a lot in Wales! We had to live downstairs as upstairs was virtually derelict. It was incredibly hard work, but also kind of fun lol
@@user-nf6zf8oj8d 😍😍😍😍 that's wild! Cudos to yall for sticking through that and working on your dream together!
@@ittybittyADHDcommittee And after five long years of hard work we sold it and started renovating the house we’re in now, some people are just suckers for punishment aren’t they lol 😆
Absolutely loved this, this series is better than any Netflix show I’ve ever watched 😄 anyone else ?? 💗
Totally agree
ESpecially those shows that just teach you how to be beautiful and fashion to expend a lot money on that
She should get the crew she was talking about haha
Good lord after all this work and attention to detail I can’t believe you aren’t making this your full time residence 😱 the plans and renderings look absolutely beautiful, if I put this much time money and effort into a house I would want to spend every waking minute appreciating my work 🥰
If it takes 5 years to complete, I'll watch until the end. Love what you do ! xx
That sweet me to
Same here!! 💜💗💙
I'm in!
thank you for being so open about the budget!! It's really difficult to learn and research about projects like this when people are so private about costs
I totally agree! 😌👍🏼
love this series!
Me too😍
#ajaneedsahouse
I love when people I follow also follow each other! Very cool!
Me too 😉💗
@@naomievlogz i meannnnnnnn.... trying to learn and realizing I know nothing lol
Gosh, who was chopping up the onion? Get it, girl! Discipline, hard work, and such a humble heart! You're amazing! Keep at it!!
My gosh you have the kindest soul in the world, Macenna.
This is exactly what I was thinking too!!!!
Sweet, optimistic, positive, happy, always laughing. I lover her relationship with her mother. We need millions of Macennas in this world 🙅🏻♀️😊
Now I know where MaCenna gets her infectious laugh from, her mom laughs just like her❤
Hahahah totally!
I was thinking the exact same thing!! 😆
@@XOMaCenna. As I was watching your Mom struggle/laugh at her wheel barrow adventure, all I could think of was the amazing memories that you are making with your Mom, Dad and Romeo. After losing my most amazing mom-in-law a few years back, these memories are ones that with last you a lifetime and then some. ❤️❤️
Ohhhh her mon is so beautiful ♥️
MaCenna, please dont rush the renovations for us, i never want this series to end 🤣
As a fellow interior designer all I want is just an auto CAD version of the floor plan before and after to study 😂
You’re so cute running around your property to visually show us the size😂👏🏻👏🏻
🌓Sweetie I’m just soooooooo proud of you. Just so incredibly proud. Your channels are so authentic and motivating, it definitely keeps everyone realizing how real all this is, and that anyone that wants to do this, can do this and what can happen along the way. So inspiring sweetie. Blessings to you and your family and I pray that you have everything you need and more. Much love to ya gurlll.🙋🏾♀️💕🦋
Thank you so so much!!!! You’re comment means the world to me 🥰🥰
Hi Kim, this was so sweet and I 💯 concur❣️🙌🏼😌
Kim it's so refreshing to see such kind words being spoken in this day and age.... kindness and lifting up our brothers and sisters in Christ is what it is all about!!!! Much love to you young lady!!! 😊🙌🏼❤️
@@XOMaCenna 🌓 you are so very welcome sweetie.💕🥰💕
@@Ria_n_Brian_93 🌓Thanks so much I truly appreciate it. 💕
Can we please take a second to recognise your amazing Mam for all the amazing, hard work she is doing with you? I love my Mammy but she couldn't help me hang a frame, never mind doing all that heavy lifting and demo 🤣♥️
Please never worry about how long the projects take. I would much rather watch the details than see the whole thing in one episode. You’re awesome!
I cannot get over how genuine and sweet MaCenna is. Blows my mind.
I’ve never clicked so fast LOL I love seeing all the progress!!
Thank you so much 😘😘
Right? Already want to visit Confort (but need to stay at XoAirBnb! Haha)! 😘
I thought you just said ,,poggers" ngl
Now kids, McKenna has had some great parents and parenting. She is a product of parents that invested their time to raise a healthy, intelligent, hard-working, moral, loyal, responsible human being. No victim hood displayed. I can bet on it. It was you can do anything and what their expectations were. They have raised an amazing young lady. So proud of you McKenna. 💐🌷❤️
My heart broke alittle when she said she was never planning to relocate there 😭 I feel like it has her heart
That surprised me aswell. It's a mighty task to take on when you're not even planning on living there full time.
Same! I couldn’t believe it
Honestly it put me off watching a bit when she revealed it was a holiday home. It doesn't seem as down to earth documenting all of this and doing all of this for a SECOND home. Like if you've got the money cool, but its a bit less realistic for the average person!
@@Lanasleaves It's all unrealistic for an average person. Wanting to move the house back, building guest cottages from scratch and now saying it's only going to be a holiday home. I'm like ok then...it's putting me off aswell.
Beyond thankful you’re sharing this journey with us. Your smile and passion is a breath of fresh air. I lost my mom a little over a month ago, and seeing your mom work her butt off with you makes my heart so full. Those moments with your mama will never be forgotten. Please tell her, I love her little giggle:) Make sure to give each other big hugs today!
I’m so so sorry for your loss my heart is with you!
@@XOMaCenna you’re the absolute sweetest. Just seeing this now:)) also your Mother’s Day picnic was beautiful. Nice work!!
Watching you and Rachel Metz renovate your properties really comforts me in the idea that I want to buy myself a house to renovate, hopefully in the next 5 years. So inspiring. I love how you're reusing all the things you can salvage from the house.
Yes! I watch them too! I said they are so similar in their strength and will and skill. These women are like super hero’s to me!!!
Yessss i watch Rachel too and love to see both women, kick ass renovating their homes!!
Yesss! One day🤞🏻
LOVE these two!
Both Rachel and MaCenna are absolute kickass queens, 💯 agree! Can I also suggest Shade Shannon (pronounced “sha-day”), Instagram name _HomeOfShade, for a British woman doing similar things - same energy 😍
When she cried... I cried. We’re all cheering for you ❤️
In the first half of the video I was def thinking “idk how she has the motivation for all this, it would’ve been a chore for me” but by the end seeing how much you love to do this and how excited you are by this project is so beautiful!! From doing room renovations to a whole house, we’re proud of you girl! 🥳
You absolutely inspired me. I have been wanting a pantry under our staircase for a while now. My husband was willing but just did not have the time to start doing it. So.... when the boys went to school and he was away for bussiness, i did it myself! Took me a week, but i did it.
This is 100% me lol if I wait for someone's help it will never get done! Do it yourself and they'll be surprised and a little shocked once it's done 😂
Should I run back there to give you perspective? Ok 😄
We are on the journey with you!! 🙌🏼 It can feel liked there is a lot of pressure to finish, but I think I speak for many of us when I say, we are invested and want to see you succeed. No matter how long it takes 🙂
👌 well said
💯🙌🏼😌
It is so impressive that you are doing all of this basically by yourself ...
And here I was thinking you were moving to Texas right next to your mama and you were making guest cottages because you’re a super fancy host 😂
Omg now I'm dreaming about renting one of the guest cottages 😍😍
I bought an untreated wood dresser and will try and restore it myself, so yes, you DO inspire people🥰
"I used to run marathons, what's wrong with me?" MaCenna!!!! This IS your marathon! You keep on running and chasing your dreams and we'll be right here, cheering you on!! I love this reno Series and it's teaching me a lot as a 23 year old who just graduated from college & is looking for meaning. I just helped my parents start their own business and it is a HUGE learning curve! There have been bumps and bruises but all we can do is keep rolling with the punches!! Thank you for inspiring me to work for myself and be an entrepreneur! We love our DIY/Thrift and now Reno queen
Awww my heart!! The end when you started tearing up...
I bought my first house 7 years ago with my husband. We had a baby and a toddler at the time, and the house was built in 1947, Cape Cod style. It was a hodgepodge of materials and had no general direction, however, the moment we pulled up to see the house, I knew it would be ours. We have done so much to this house since, and you’re right about the learning curve. Anyway, the day we got the keys, I came to clean before we moved in our furniture and everything. As I was scrubbing the toilet, it hit me that this was MY toilet. I owned this toilet... holy moly we bought a HOUSE!
So, I sat there crying over my new toilet in my new house, just grateful for everything we have in our life. It’s an amazing feeling, and I’m so excited for you guys to continue on your project and see it coming together ❤️
I just always enjoy watching Americans renovating their houses, it's super different from where I live, u use a lot of wood literally all the house structure is wood
gurrrrl, y’all get hard hats.😭 all the love❤️
Oh my! Tell me why I almost teared up listening to Macenna. You have come so far! From little DIY’s and Thrift Flips, to financing and building a beautiful house. I have been watching you for years! I’ve grown up with you. You have no idea how much you have influenced me. Because of you I want to start my own RUclips channel and sell thrifted goods on my own online market! Thank you so much for sharing your life and journey with us all! I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU!
It’s so cool to see someone that’s so level headed and driven. You’re a true inspiration and an awesome role model. We need more boss babes like you who work hard to achieve their goals.
Omg I started tearing up when you started crying, I need to stop and compose myself right now. I’m so invested in this I feel like we are just friends having weekly FaceTime catch ups 😅🤎
Omg! So true...It feels like I'm her bestfriend lol
Exactely my thoughts! Feels like I know you =)
I am loving this journey. Seeing an actual renovation in real time is amazing. Thank you
This was such a nice way to start my day, thanks! As a daughter of someone who bought an apartment in a building from 1920 I can confirm: accommodating the needs of modern living and staying true to the original design (which we obviously want to do, we buy these old properties because we love vintage, after all) is a tough balancing act! I admit it pains me to see the foyer go, but I understand that you need to make your house functional. Who cares what others think - this is your house, all those criticising you won't be living there. I think you deserve a medal for trying to preserve as much of the original house as you can, many people in your position wouldn't have bothered and just knocked it down to build from scratch. Respect & good luck with the project!
You American women are so hard working. We here in India get help for all such work, which I think we take for granted. Hats off to you women to do all this hard work and doing it smiling and happy.
You should be so incredibly proud of yourself! Saving from such a young age, consistently working so hard, and just DOING this! It’s absolutely amazing and inspiring. And the attention to detail is laser focused! I bet your parents just love having you close to them, and watching their daughter accomplish so much. Thank you for sharing! 💕
I agree..... wish thats where I was when 32..... right where you are now!
I’ve literally never been so proud of someone I’ve never met haha
This project is so you and so exciting 🥲❤️ can’t wait to see when it’s done
Anyone else eager to enter that card info once the guest cottages are live for vacationing? The guest cottages aren't even built yet but I am SO ready to visit
Already planning it
I've renovated 3 big houses so I know hard you're working. I'm 62 now an those days are gone. I'm worn out just watching you! You're the true definition of effervescent. It's a joy and so inspiring to watch your video's. Thanks for sharing this journey with us..
OMG, When the tiles fell on your head... Hope you're okay 😅
Hahah yeah they arnt too heavy and it happened like 5 more times after that!
As an artist, I know you like to paint also - think about saving those square larger ceiling tiles to use as canvases. They could look sweet when you get finished painting your abstracts on them. Love your determination and strength! Your mom must be SO PROUD of you!
Girl, I couldn’t believe you were just running all over that yard and then talking to us like no big deal!
Hgtv has nothing on you. As always you bring a living dose of inspiration, light, and it’s refreshing. Your fans are so proud of you. Keep going.
Your work ethic amazes me every week. You deserve everything you get because you work for it, no sense of entitlement. I impatiently wait for each installment.
Are you going to be working on Fox Run too? I'm loving this series of yours and I'd love to watch what your Mom has planned for the other house.
Ma Cenna I also am rotavating my home and it's 65yrs old. I am tired too.. So proud of you doing this yourself. I want to come stay at the cottages when they are done! Oh..this is #12 for me. I am 66. Last one! Tell that Momma she raised you right!
I really like that your renovation isn’t like a tv show, I love that you give a beautiful update like weekly, it feels realistic and I love that it allows for more detail! Like what Reno show would show door plates in a crock pot!!!! 💖💖💖
Wow MaCenna I thought you were 26 or something, you look so young and full of energy! Loving the series and totally understand that it will take time to do all this yourself. The best of luck with all the renovations!
I was so disappointed in not receiving an update yesterday- (I even double checked my notification on your page.) I told myself, this is definitely much more work then we are understanding. BUT I LOVE IT- just so you know! I love love love your humbleness, honestly, authentic nature. Happy, positive, focused mindset.
You guys working together=😍 So cute when MaCenna was in the loft and Romeo was handing her stuff. Adorable!
I am so glad to see a strong woman who goes out and purchases her first home and then do all the demolition herself. I don't mind getting dirty and using tools myself, and I am definitely with you on that. I look forward every week to see the things that you have done to the cottage. I especially like the trips to all the stores and the fabulous pieces that you and your Mom come across. Keep being your creative and sweet self. I am on this journey right with you.😊
You are SO inspiring MaCenna!! I am living for this journey of yours and Romeo’s! I don’t want to see all of it done in a one hour show. I love watching each step and seeing how much you put into every detail. Your mom is adorbs too! What amazing memories to have with your parents! Keep up the awesome work and thank you for sharing this piece of your life with us!
This is literally my favorite series I've ever watched on YT. I'm so excited to see what you've got to share each week. I'm honestly kind of excited that it's going to take awhile to get everything done because that means more videos!
Saving all that wood is so smart! The cost of lumber during Covid has sky-rocked! That you're preserving original parts means a lot.
I keep wishing there was a fast forward button or like a series on Netflix where I can sit here all day and binge watch the “Comfort Cottage Renovation”! It’s so hard to wait and see what it’s all going to look like! We renovated our house here in Fl that was sitting empty for a couple years and it was done in about 6 months but it was nothing compared to your renovation! I feel all of your pain and your excitement! Can’t wait to see the end product! Also, can’t wait to see some more decor diys, I’m sure that will be coming as you move along on this journey! And 32?? Seriously??? Makes sense because your mom looks very young as well! Love your channel!
Oh McKenna. I cry with you. I am so proud of you and envious at the same time. I can’t wait for all the
content you will have.
Sweet work guys. Romeo, welcome back!
This goes to show how important is a good upbringing, her parents obviously are hardworking people and she's been raised seeing them going after their goals, not just dreaming, and so she does the same. Also, how important it is to have some understanding about personal finances, investing wisely and all that stuff. I didn't have that example and so I'm 32 and just starting to get a grasp of this, while she is such a beautiful example for me. :) Thank you, Macenna! I'm rooting for you and this whole project, just like many of us here!
So happy for you guys....
Yay! It’s finally here! Happy Monday macenna:)
I'm so excited to see more progress!! I was JUST on your page to set an alert for when you upload!!
Thank You for sharing this journey ❤️
I'm loving this journey!
Love your Mom's laugh. Now I know where you get it. You always laugh even when things go sideways.
I can tell this is going to beautiful... I'm excited.
It's always so nice to see Romeo when he's able to be there. ❤️
All teenagers need to watch your channel and hear how you did this so they can take it into the real world with them. It takes a lot of saving, planning, WORKING and organization to succeed. You are a living proof of what hard work can do. You're so inspiring!
Watching this series while wearing the pink tye dyed North Face hoody you and Romeo made almost a year ago, makes this soooooooo much better ❤️🙌🏻😊
Your gratitude and humility are so much more beautiful than you can imagine. I am always looking for your newest video, I'm almost 30 and you make me push harder to achieve the life I am dreaming of and that I can. Girl, you are an amazing woman, keep doing what you do and loving every moment of it. 💜🤍
Enjoying watching this journey.
Awww Macenna! We love you and appreciate you too!
I absolutely love your vision for your home and the guest cottages!! So excited to see the progress; keep up the great work, your subbies are so proud of you♡
This whole series has been captivating and has showcased what a wonderful person you are. You should be so proud of all you’ve accomplished, and I can’t wait to keep watching you work your magic on this beautiful home!
Love watching and learning new things. Love your videos x
Love watching your demo!
Honestly, you amaze me. Your willpower and energy are so contagious! Thank you so much for taking us on this journey with you!!
Your mom is the best!!
Thank you for sharing your journey!
Watching your videos make me so happy!
You definitely inspire me to be better and to reach for things I think are out of reach. You have the kindest soul and I look up to you so much. The way you have torn apart that house like a total badass! Woahh! Thank you so much for everything! Im so happy to keep supporting you! ❤
Waiting for this video since yesterday! 🥰
So glad to see Romeo with you
So excited to follow you on this journey!!!
I appreciate the time & energy you put into explaining each detail! It feels like I'm actually there and can picture your vision perfectly!!! All the best!!
Crying with you!! ❤️ Just wanna say, that you are the best one on RUclips! Thanks from Belarus))
Mom is so awesome.
Absolutely loving this series so much!!!
