You know that door with the broken glass panel, that is just an acid etched design. You can actually get glass acid etching kits at craft stores like Hobby Lobby, Michaels and Blick (I think) but definitely HL or Michaels, and they’re relatively inexpensive. All you need is glass to fit the door, the design you like and the kit. So you could totally diy something custom that you’ll love forever for significantly less than purchasing new or vintage.
I love etching cream, there are so many projects you can do with it. If you have a cricut you can cut vinyl stencils to use with etching cream but I just use an exacto knife on contact paper. Some stores have it locked up with the spray paint because it can be used for vandalism.
9:5014:23 When she ripped up that floor, I almost screamed. That floor was hideous. I love what you're doing with the cottage! Your joy just reflects on me everytime I click on one of these videos and they always make my day better. Keep up the amazing work, girl! 14:18 Leaning tower of cabinets!
I just started a new job and found out that my coworkers are obsessed with your videos. They have a lunch zoom call each time there’s a new video to watch and talk about it 😂
For the door with the pretty broken glass, you can replace it with a plain piece of glass and then use your Cricut to cut out any pattern you design/find/like. To set the pattern, use glass etch! You can totally customize the door inexpensively! And I know you have the skills and creativity to pull if off!
Holy cow, can’t wait to see the finished home. I can totally relate to this endeavor. We renovated a 200 year-old stone farm house 20 years ago. (Now I’m redoing rooms and adding an addition 🤣)
I love that you demoed the way you did. My husband always complains about TV demos bc the easiest and best way to take cabinets out is what you did, not smashing them like they do on all/most of the home reno shows on TV! 💕
If you buy a used crockpot, you put painted hinges, doorknobs, drawer pulls etc. into crockpot and cover them with water, then put on lid and turn on crockpot....amazingly, it cooks off paint! Nothing scratched or tarnished!
I feel so invested in this transformation. A little crazy, but this happens to us followers. I am proud of you kicking the butt of that demo. I live in Allen, Texas and am closer to your Mom’s age. But, I can’t wait to see every step you take on the renovation. I am sure I will be a visitor to one of your cottages someday.
So I was watching another DIY’r and they put their hardware in boiling water and let it sit for like 20 minutes and the paint literally fell off. No harsh chemicals needed. 😀
@XOMaCenna great tip if you are reusing doors, go ahead and mark/note and save the the door frames as well if possible. IF the frames are in good use, ESPECIALLY THE TRIM, it will cut down on time and money. It can get pricy having to get all new door frames in a home. TRUST ME. its nice when everything is already there and you just need to move it around. Sometimes you can save it sometimes you can't, just thought it was worth a mention. love to see your progress!
I LOVE this video, I think it’s my favorite so far in this series. Demo seems so intimidating to me and I admire you so much for jumping in and going for it! You are a role model and inspiring 🥰 great job!!!
I have loved your old refo videos. I cant wait to see your cottage come together.you have such a great personality and so happy that it shines through.this home will be so special becaues you did the work yourselves.
I have Muscular Dystrophy got it later in life and before this afflicted me I was just like you, in saying that I live vicariously through you and I want to thank you for sharing all your hard work. You, your mom, dad, Romeo and furrbaby are all so UHmazing. Your attitude is so contagious, love you girl and I wish you only but the best. God bless and stay safe!🥰♥️
You are amazing! I can’t believe you demo-ed that entire kitchen and laundry room by yourself! And i also want to commend your filming and editing. I know setting up the camera for all the various angles takes time as well. You are doing a great job!
A couple of things: 1. You are so incredibly positive and uplifting. Thank you! 2. I am living vicariously through you because my husband and I want to do this so bad, but we need to build up our savings first! 3. I have been waiting for this! Some serious demo happening! Can't wait to see more!
13:40 Interesting greek mythology fact: there were two gods representing war,man Ares and woman Athena. Ares was strong,represented raw fury and bloodthirst. Athena was intelligent,represented the strategy and fighting technique. Guess who won every time...😉😋
When you rip out two rooms full of cabinets and stuff and at the end of the day still look like you've just left a spa, you're definitely a WARRIOR GIRL!
My cheeks hurt from smiling during this video! Way to go, Mac!! The pride you take in your new home and putting in the sweat equity is admirable! I'm so dang happy for you!! ❤
I LOVE that you did all this by yourself! Such an inspiration and motivation to watch! Also, I hope you're saving and using those pretty kitchen cabinet handles somewhere else, they look beautiful! When we renovated our kitchen last year that originally was from 1965 we saved the cabinet hardware and re-used them for the new cabinets and I think that detail is my favourite in there now!
Congratulations! You’ve inspired me to do this kind of work when I buy my next house. I’m no longer afraid to deal with an old structure. Thank you for showing that a feminine woman can use her brains and meet her goals even when the job traditionally was only tackled by men because of their superior muscle strength. God bless you smart and pretty woman!
Girl ... no one could ever accuse you of being scared of hard work! I got SO tired just watching you. I come back every time though cause your happiness is so contagious ... oh , and for Kinsley ... ALWAYS for Kinsley.❤️💋🐶 Great job. ⭐️ Thanks for taking us all along as your transform this house into your new home. Take care and stay safe. Louise 🥰
OMG you did so much in one day plus you filmed it which wasn't easy to do them all. And I really admire the way you appreciate the history of this house and trying to save as much as you can and reuse 🥰 your example teaches us to reuse anything we can ❤ thank you ❤
I refreshed my UA-cam feed so many times throughout the day waiting for this video lol. You definitely did an amazing job demoing both those rooms on your own! I love the flooring that was obscured beneath that linoleum.
That unsightly linoleum -- not likely "vinyl" as it's called -- served an insulation function as well as a covering......One has to wonder how much down-under chill factor will be realized with the now-exposed wood floors??
There are so many DIY videos on UA-cam you can do so much by yourself. You can resell things you don't want. My sister took her unwanted items to Goodwill and they gave her a receipt that she used for a write off from her taxes.
Hi McKenna… My hubby and I just got done building our second custom home… And the thing that I absolutely love the most was sitting down with the builder and designing the plans as well as shopping for all the tile and vanities for the bathroom, like you I didn't want a builder grade we picked up antique vanities for the bathroom and all that fun stuff I absolutely loved!! your designer bathroom picture looks like my bathroom! well I can't wait to see your ciders of shopping and all the treasures that you pick out for your new home!!
Girl!!! I was screaming when you busted up those cabinets. I was so hoping they were salvageable for resale or repurposing, but then you said you were going to try to salvage as much as possible
You are very strong! Please take care of your back! Bending down and pulling doesn’t seem bad at first till you’re older with a bad back! Love how it is coming! Can’t wait to see it complete
When women want something done, they can get it done. It’s always great if we have a husband or boyfriend to help, but not all women have that person in their lives. So you go girl...!!! Your parents taught you well.
The message we need to send is that we as women CAN do "manual" jobs. We do not have to wait for a male to do them for us. We can learn and persevere and succeed. We just need to be patient, do the homework, work the process, and before you know it...BAM❗👍🤩
That’s right. I retired from two jobs.....civilian job...jet engine mechanic. Army reserve job..watercraft operator...boatswain on a Landing Craft. Both male dominated jobs but can be done by a woman.
What an accomplishment! You did such a great job and you're such an inspiration. I can't wait to see how the cottage and the rest of the property progresses.
I am just dying to see the complete process... Very much excited to see your journey.. it's lots of learning and excitement when something so beautiful is created by self...
I'm impressed with your demo! That is very hard work, especially reaching up over your head to strike the wood. You certainly had enough upper body strength and tenacity to complete the job, way to go!
You are so joyful MaCenna it’s lovely to see. You are a real grafter ( as we say here 🇬🇧), the finished results will be all the more sweeter because of all the hard work you’ve put in!. Love watching your progress 👍🤗❤️
Be sure to keep checking for lead, especially on older paint underneath and behind additions. Love this series, I look forward to it every week. Keep up the awesome work boss 🥰

So true

I’ve seen someone use an old crock pot dedicated to stripping hardware. Worked great. I’m pretty she did t I’ve any harsh chemicals.
I've boiled hinges in vinegar and water. The paint peeled/fell off.
these are amazing tips I never heard of! thanks 😊
