This woman is a genius, she can literally make her own kitchen cabinets but she had to look up what the spoon was called. LOL. It's a good thing she has Romeo in the kitchen. But I love her and can't get enough of her videos.
Haha geniuses can't be bothered with mundane 🤣
I laughed so hard at this 😆
MaCenna is the the best!
I had the same thought 😂
I loved this too.. this is me 100%
I think the gifted plates coming back to the house are meant to be…their blue color would be lovely hung on the wall above your coffee station!😍
That hot pop of ultramarine blue in the platters looked really gorgeous against the dining room neutrals.
Yes! I thought the same.
They would look cute on the small wall that was behind her when she was showing them
Yes! Put those plates in the dining room!!!
It's never enough...I could watch this channel for hours. Macenna thank you very much for being a fresh and positive air on UA-cam. But today I want to highlight how beautiful this community is. I always see nice, constructive and respectful comments; and this is unusual in social networks. I hope we can continue infecting everyone who arrives with this positive vibe; since we need more than ever, to have a break from all the negativity that society is experiencing. God bless you all. XOXO
Ok, you cannot put those beautiful blue and whites in the cottages. They will get stolen! Blue and white porcelain are you kidding me! Your neighbour is epic! So you should definitely have them in your dining room display cabinet. They are art and highly sought after prized pieces.
I agree keep in the house.
I’ve missed seeing your mom in the vlogs so much! Glad her eyes are getting better. 🥰
SOOOO excited to see the counter tops😱😍 The kitchen is really coming together now!
"I would NEVER.....Haaaaaaaa! LIES!" Me and my daughter were dying with laughter.
I love watching you and your mom together and it's my hope I have such a wonderful relationship with my own daughter as she grows up 😊
Love mom's cameo appearances! Y'all's relationship is just precious!
"90×90 what does that make?"
Mom: "A square"
🤣😂 I love it!
I laughed so hard, I cried
But I mean, is she wrong tho?
Great that you got unscented candles for the dining room table so that the scent doesn’t fight with food aromas while you are eating. Also,I clean everything wood related with diluted Murphy’s Oil Soap.I keep some in a spray bottle and spray all of my thrifted baskets with it in the shower,rinse and let air dry.( I also clean my baskets that way every year because it not only gets the dust off,but nourishes the wood) It will work great and be safe on your salt and pepper shakers. Before you use you new cutting board,get some food safe mineral oil at the drugstore and oil it with a paper towel.( food oils can turn rancid)😬. (When I buy a cutting board at a yard sale,etc.,I bleach it,sand it,then apply the mineral oil.)🙌🏻
Great tip...thanks for sharing! I recently thrifted a 70s S&P set for my shop and wasn't sure how to get them sparkling again.
@@styleago-go3028 I’ve been using these methods for decades!😅
Yes to Murphy's Oil Soap. Hot water and soak with the soap.
Never in my life has something wooden that I treated with neutral oil has gone rancid. NEVER. I have things from my Great Great Grand parents that were always treated with neutral oil and they are in perfect condition, never gone rancid. Don't use olive oil. But normal sunflower o corn oil works just fine. Unless in the US they put stuff in the oil that makes them go rancid.
@@veritorossi they do
The plates would look beautiful in your dining room. When you put the replace the cabinet doors with glass 👌
Retail therapy always makes the heart feel glad. Target is one of my favorite places to shop at. I loved seeing little Kinsley bebopping around the house with her little blue plastic cap.
Oh dear girl! Watching you with your Mom talking about going to thrift stores, reminds me of the great times I had with my mom. She called it rag shaking when we went to thrift stores it garage sales. She passed a few years ago, but I am loving this time you have with your Momma. 💕🌸
"Rag shaking"! I love that!
@@murielbaith5445 🤣 One time we stopped at a garage sale, Mom yells to me, “Mary, don’t run!” 🤦♀️ I was so embarrassed 😳 😂
@@maryannford7665,I'm sorry she passed away. She sounds like a hoot to have for a mom. Mine died 1 1/2 years ago. She was 91, but still lived alone mostly. She did her own gardening still, and if we traveled, she pulled weeds at gas stations, restaurants, and attractions while muttering the place wasn't well cared for.
The relationship you have with your mom is so special. I pray my daughter and I are this close!!
About the salt and pepper mills: I read that you could grind uncooked rice to clean it. Also I love the size of your hoops! I know you said they're from Aurate, but do you remember which model / size they are? Thanks! ❤️
I love the plates!!! Pleasssseeeee consider using them in the dining/kitchen/coffee nook area. What a lovely piece of history!
Seeing Kinsley in her new home warms my heart ❤️😍😘
I cannot wait to see the cabinets get completed! The glass doors are going to look so beautiful. Same with the coffee pantry! Love your videos💕💕
Also, going to France in less than 2 weeks! I’ve been so excited after you and Romeo got to go!
I thought you were gonna say you were expecting a baby.
Honestly missed Kinsley getting up close to the camera like should would in the LA house 😂 she’s seems happy and at home in the new house!
Those blue dishes will be GREAT for 4th of July decor. Add some red napkins and tea stained flags! Forget it! I love it!!
I am absolutely DYING of FOMO right now… MaCenna you were in my Target 😭 and that Anthro is like a 5 minute walk from our apartment. I’m kicking myself for not going to Target whatever day that was lol and running into you!! Love everything you do and so excited for every new video. You are brilliant and your style is unmatched! Hugs from Houston!
I collect those Boch platters! My dad brought one back for my grandma while he was stationed in Germany in the 1970’s and I ended up with them a few years ago. So special and beautiful!
They are gorgeous
The bed, Macenna I can't get over how stunning your bed is, I don't know how you get out of bed every morning, I would never leave 😍😍😍
I totally agree! Is it possible to share with us where you got your quilt from?
@@rachelspollett3930 yes!!! I need this set 😍 😩
@@rachelspollett3930 watch her last couple videos, she talks about it
@@corricatt thanks!
The frame itself is beautiful also!
I love seeing your mom in the vlogs , she gives me Dolly Parton vibes!!! She sounds so sweet and just looks so adorable 🥰.💚
This is the first slow-morning-making-coffee intro in the new house! I always loved those intros at the LA house
I love the look of pure joy on your faces when you are just walking about your new home.
It brings me joy as well, as probably with all her fans. She has become such a part of our lives, such an emotional connection. The relationship she has with her mom, wouldn't it great if we all had that!! She would be a great & fun friend!!
I did enjoy this video! Thoughts: my family always called a food turner a spatula, but we also called the rubber scraper thing a spatula. I think, these days, spatula only refers to the scraper thingy. About gardening; those cute Target gloves are for ladies who tend their primroses and orchids in a greenhouse. They won't last a day if you are doing real gardening and landscaping. What you want is goatskin gloves. They are supple, but TOUGH. They are expensive, but they will last at least a whole season, maybe longer. I wish I could help you with the landscaping. I love every minute I get to spend in my garden. Except when it's hot and humid. But fall is a great time to plant your bushes, trees, and perennials. Have fun!
What ever dollar store you have in Texas. Dollar Tree, Dollar General, etc. Get your hair ties, bandaids, alcohol, peroxide, some cleaning products, greeting cards, wrapping paper. You'd be surprised what you can find there.
Macenna I collect the blue & white and those plates look like money!!!! Gorgeous gift from ur neighbor. Love how u guys r settling in ur cozy cottage….. God bless u guys, John 3:16
Yes there's real money in Delfts Blauw/Delfts Blue!
Living 10 km from Delft, it's fun to see Delftsblauw ending up in Texas!
@@merlindeful Ja hè?!
love love how your house is becoming a home!!!!!
and your positive attitude your energy transfers and love watching your channel!
“90 x 90. What does that make it?” “Square.” Hilarious! I literally laughed out loud at that!!!! Best line ever!
I just adore Kinsley! I was going to ask how she’s adjusting to her new home, but you really answered that. I got a new sofa and my little one had to adjust her jump, too. 💕
90x90 is a queen size quilt. 110x110 is a king size quilt.
Kinsley is a WILD THANG!!! She brings such fun to each video.
So happy the countertops are coming real soon. Can't wait to see them in the kitchen and guest bath. Glad to see you momma, hope her eyes are healing. Love your channel MaCenna. Thank you
I recognize where u are which is so cool bc I rarely see houston in media. I live in the suburbs of Houston but the reason u found so many good furniture stores is because you are right next to the biggest shopping mall of the city (Galleria) and adjacent to some of the richer homes (River Oaks). Not far from actual downtown. Glad u enjoyed the shopping!
I have not long moved into a retirement village on my own. I too bought a combo microwave, oven and airfryer. It is so handy. When cooking just for me I don't need to use my large oven.
You are going to get lots of use from your new airfryer.
I so enjoy watching you go shopping for everything for your beautiful home.
It brings back great memories of my shopping for my villa.
WE LOVE SHOPPING.
I bought all new appliances that have to last 20 years. But have thrifted all my crockery, bowls, some art, some kitchen items like coffee, sugar, and baking containers.
I still need to buy my couch, dinning unit and floor rugs. But no hurry.
Enjoy the process I always say.
You and your momma crack me up 😂 lol! The house is amazing just like I knew it would be. We share the love of all things vintage. For me, older things have a story to tell. Imagine what each piece would tell us if they could. You seem so comfortable in your house. I can tell how much you and Romeo love your home.
Yes on the mic of the new camera...it's been worse than the old camera. I'm glad you noticed. ☺
I’m so amazed at how I’ve watched you from the start of renovation of your home to this point! It’s happening!
I love watching you nest into your space. I’m so excited for all the room transformations!
So freaking excited about your countertops!! Can’t believe how far you’ve come!❤️
Just love the blue and white plates! Ma Canna it would be so nice if you use them in your kitchen ! They are special Dutch plates ! Gorgeous 👍🌸
Yeah i was gonna say its dutch ! My grandma has those haha
Yes from Delft in The Netherlands. Delfts Blauw/Delfts Blue
Ahhh I love how the house is coming along! It makes me so happy to see your vlogs since your energy is just so relaxing and happy! 🫶🏼😍
Salt and pepper grinders: I found this article on A Frenchtown Kitchen and Garden: Maybe a swipe of food-grade mineral oil on the outside after they're cleaned?
First I opened the tops and emptied any salt and pepper left inside.
Next I used a can of air - the kind you clean a keyboard with to blow out any remaining salt or pepper residue. The pepper mill was empty, but the salt shaker surprised me by dumping salt all over me. So, do this over the sink.
Then, I used a thin bottle brush to clean the insides again, just to make sure they were as empty as possible. You may want to repeat the blow-out step.
Next I used a mildly abrasive pad and a pan scraper to remove any gunk that accumulated on the outside of the shakers.
Finally, I moistened a soft cloth with vinegar and wiped off the outside of the shakers.
I'm sooooo excited about everything coming together for your home tfs
i'm so geeked to see what color you're painting the island! i love the size, it's so so good and such a beautiful focal point, especially from the living room!
I'm so excited!!
I could not live without a microwave! It is great fir reheating your coffee and food you bring home etc ! I steam veggies in the microwave and they come out perfect
Those plates are GORGEOUS!
I’m soooo happy you’re getting a new microphone; thrilled!!!! Love watching you, can’t get enough, best content creator on UA-cam
McCenna,I enjoy watching YOU walking around in your new home! I,too love thrift ing as well! Looks like that your Target haul were most of the things you needed for your new home! Can't wait for the next vlog to see "what more" will be added to make you feel that you are right at home!
Love you and your mom together. My mom and I used to go junking together , I miss her so much.
I love the blue and white plates!!
Salt and pepper shaker: open the top and dump any left over salt and pepper. get a small mild abrasive brush/ cloth (dry) and clean out the inside. Take a damp cloth with white vinegar. Make sure NOT to soak them because they could start to mold and or ruin the wood and clean any residue. Also do it outside just incase there are “friends” living in them.
I have that KitchenAid air fryer too! I lived off a toaster oven when I lived with my parents so I knew I definitely needed one when i moved to my own house 😁 it's awesome!
Can’t wait to watch this, been looking forward to it all day!! X
Thank you Macenna!!!!! Need you today!!! Love your purchases! Can’t wait to see your countertops!❤️🥰😊
To clean your salt and pepper set: It looks greasy and dusty, right? Oil and grease is best broken down by an alkaline solution, which is why regular dish soap (pH 8-10) is so effective on oily pots and pans. It may sound overly simple, but you can use dish soap and warm/hot water with an absorbent rag like microfiber to take grease off of wood. Dont worry about using too much water, just let them dry completely. Then, if they have a finish on them, just use furniture polish or oil. If they don't have a finish, I would sand them with a fine steel wool and finish with mineral oil from the hardware store. It's what I use on wooden bowls, cutting boards, and other kitchen pieces that get regular use. I've cleaned a lot of smoke-tar off of wood too, and in that case, hot water and white vinegar are the best way to go.
So excited to see each and every step you take in this journey of finishing your adorable home. Kinsley is the perfect dog...well next to my three chihuahuas.
Your mom is extraordinary artistic and loving mother. Can't wait for your next vlog!!!!!
Makenna... I just love you and your moms relationship... So precious and fun! It makes me wonder what it would be like to have my mama today and warms my heart to see your love ❤
Those blue plates are so cool! My grandmother has a huge collection.
I have that Rubbermaid set and love it. You can put it in the dishwasher on the top rack, they stack in the fridge and pantry, and they're air tight.
I agree with the mic. It gives you like a high pitch. Not sure if that makes sense.
It's cool to see how you mix old and new things together.
It’s been so amazing to watch you create your dream house. I’ve been watching your videos for a few years and it feels like we’re besties now hahaha your amazing!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
We have always used Murphy's oil soap on our salt and pepper shakers and all wood work. My entire house has stained cherry trim and that's all we use on it.
I have had these same slippers for over a year and they are still fluffy. Love them.
ok, so I literally yelled when you picked the kitchenaide air fryer. That is the exact one I have. I researched for a week reading reviews on every site and decided on that one! I've had it about a year and I love it! I use it at least every other day. :) love the thrift store finds!!
I love shopping with you! You shop, I watch, you pay and I enjoy watching you unpack! ❤️🇨🇦
I love your Videos so much and cant wait for them to come out, really enjoy all the work you guys are doing on the house and looking forward to the counters coming.
The trash can in the island is so great! We have that in my house right by our prep space so it’s easy to wipe scraps/crumbs into the trash and it’s out of sight!
I'm in love with the color scheme of your windows+walls it's so calming..
Excited
Omg Kinsley is a doll..She reminds me of my cats and my daughters dog playing with a cap instead of their toys..Something so simple keeps them content..Love what you've done it's come so far MaCenna..Great job
MaCenna!! You can make homemade dehydrated dog treats for Kinsley! or dried fruit for yummy snacks in the dehydrator! I also dehydrate fresh herbs if I don't use them before they go bad! :) CONGRATS ON THE COUNTERTOPS! So excited to see it all completed! What a fun haul, glad you got semi-forced into a fun shopping trip for you! haha 'I love that for us' !
I have the same Kitchenaid toaster over/air fryer and I LOVE mine! Much nicer than having separate toaster, air fryer, and toaster oven. I rarely use my real oven anymore because of it xD
Excited for you to finally have your countertops!
Yay MaCenna - so pleased to hear you’re getting a new mic 😘😘 loving the latest videos. Espesh your fridge & grocery haul 🥪🤎 xO
MaCenna, the more I sit with your color choices, the more I love them. I'm not a huge fan of the black windows, but the walls and trim are amazing. I really want to paint my dining room like this.
There's such a sweet togetherness with your mom and yourself a Best friend indeed, Love watching your videos waiting for the living room decor don't want to miss out on it.have a bless day with your mom.
You'll love the air fryer. We use it everyday. You can roast veg tables and bake cookies in half the time. We even break frozen pizzas in half and air fry them!
Fun video as always. I get excited to see your progress. You and Romeo are creating a true treasure.
Btw, those gorgeous blue plates your neighbor gave you would look stunning in the neutral dining room and would be right in keeping with your dining room chairs. They would be happy to be home again.
So excited for you to get your countertops!!! What fun you have shopping for your cottage, I love to redo a room and go all over shopping, looking for special items. My husband and I are going to dog sit our grand dog in Charleston for a week and I can’t wait to go out and about shopping and going to different restaurants while we are there! We’re also going to do some day trips too! Safe travels for you to LA!!!
Literally so happy for you every time I watch you
You can clean the outside of the pepper and salt shaker with baking soda and afterwards put some oil on them. That’s also a good way to clean cutting boards made of wood and spoons. Ad some baking soda and a little bit of lemon juice or citric acid and rub them well. It cleans them and is good against bacteria and grose stuff. The oil will let them look like new and give the wood a treatment so it will last longer. 😊🌸
Hi Macenna. Since Day 1 I've been watching your old cottage renovation and OMG! You nailed it girl! i am so proud of you. DIYing your own home is so amazing. I hope I can also do that. Can't wait to see your final home. Lovelots, Loriegen from Philippines.❤
I’m so happy you mentioned something about your audio. I’ve noticed it doesn’t sound as quality and there is essentially no base. I watch you in my car or on my tv a lot so I noticed it right away!
Excited for the new mic and all the amazing vlogs as always 🥰
Buying a burner was a great choice!! Plus if any of the guest houses have small kitchens, it could be used there too!
For gardening gloves, the ones that look like rubber gloves, but have mesh over the back of your hand (So you don't get super sweaty) are fantastic!
So wonderful MaCenna, I love seeing when you go thrifting and other shopping places, that oven looks so much better than a microwave. I am so happy for your mama, she looks so cool in her sunglasses, but understand not wanting her to have to wear them all the time. I am just loving your Vlogs and am so excited to see the counters being installed, this house is turning out so beautiful. I am looking forward to your next Vlog, sending love and hugs, bye for now.
Your vlogs are such a bright spot for me. Thank you!
OMG, I can’t wait to watch it!!!!
I like to use Murphy’s wood soap for wood! I’m not 100% sure you can use it inside the shakers but for sure on the outside!
I am actually currently working on a quilt that is 90"x90" lol! I consider it somewhere between a queen and king, as it has considerable drop on a queen bed, but also a slight drop on a king I think, though smaller than standard king blanket dimensions. I chose that size so it would work if I went up to a king size at some point. I chose the square shape because I think square quilts are cute and kind of satisfyingly-symmetrical, and you don't have to worry about the direction of it when putting it on your bed as long as the prints aren"t directional!
So excited to see your counter tops in place and to see your kitchen come together!! I know its gonna be beautiful!!😍
Love that the house is turning home
i personally use our small conventional oven more so than my microwave bc it heats up pizza better, if you ever want to make toast, it is also super easy to use and I feel it heats food better
I was actually thinking where is Macenna didn't post yet I miss seeing her talking and doing DIY and just what's new with beautiful cottage.
Macenna I love you and your family your a joy to the heart.
May God bless you💝
Looove how the house is turning out! Get a microwave that’s also an Air Fryer. I got mine from Lowes! Love it & it saves space!
Murphy oil soap has been the best wood cleaner ever for us, things we didn't think were dirty had beautifully colored wood underneath. Good luck!
I haven't, commented before, but I have to say those blue plates are Stunning! Very french country. Love them 💕
I'm happy that things are moving along for your dream home! It's been fun watching the progression of things over the past 1.5 yrs. Just my two sense on the air fryer...we have the instant pot conventional oven that has a similar basket for the air fryer as the KitchenAid one and it is not the same as a traditional air fryer. Our food gets stuck on those pesky grates of the air fryer basket and cleaning it is a nightmare. We prefer the Ninja Foodi for air frying since the basket is non-stick and makes the food crispier than the oven did. The Foodi is also a pressure cooker, slow cooker etc so it's multi functional as well. Anyway, can't wait to see how everything continues to come together!
I CANT WAIT FOR THE COUNTERTOPS!!!
