Something that Drew does that I like, and wish you would do since I love your style, is to take some of your fan’s pictures of their difficult rooms and offer suggestions how you would style or decorate the space.
As A Mom. Don’t over fill your schedule. In the second half of the year. You wont be able to keep up. Enjoy being a Mom you have waited so long for this. Let go of some things. Give yourself grace in the next few months Your life is going to change So much you don’t Even Know. love to you all
Much the same as I was going to say , on the podcast question . Wait a few years for anything new . The years fly by , and you will see some things must be set down for awhile and the podcast is an easy pick , it just wasn't your thing for this season of life , just be Mommy for now 💙.
Yeah I love her content, but as a new mom to a 8 month old, reality hits hard when the little being makes it earthside. But already the time is FLYING.
Sleep most definitely is going to be an issue in the beginning but this is her identity also. I don't think she'll take on much when he's born, but she should just do a visual podcast best. I would say do the business I've always been curious to hear what she has to say about that but I I think she could incorporate the last 5 minutes of the podcast to addressing design ideas of pictures of our living spaces❤ also you should get a few started before the baby's born to get you through a few weeks of content❤️ you know what just talk to us we have plenty to say 🤣 🤯 YOU COULD JUST DO LIVE VIDEO PODCAST 🤯
As much as I love her, I think being a mom is going to be a really big wake-up call. She loves going to her fancy lil LA sit down restaurants, multiple trips to Lowes a day, jumping on a plane whenever she wants....That doesn't happen when you're a mom, especially a new one. If you read this MaCenna, please take care of your postpartum mental health and take it slow. I know it's going to be hard for someone like you to not do "all the things" all the time, but your priorities are going to shift and it's okay. We'll be here when you adjust, just enjoy your baby ❤
The $4 painting is a copy of 'The Milkmaid' 1658 by Vermeer. It's in theRijks museum, Holland. He also painted 'The Girl with the Pearl earring'. ❤ Kingsley.
I watched an episode of Great Art Explained about a Vermeer painting. I appreciate art but it was interesting to learn more about specific pieces and artists.
It made me laugh to see the milkmaid because in France this painting is really famous because it has been used by a yoghurt brand for decades like almost every household has had it at some point in its refrigerator 😂
And the colours of the original are so much clearer then the ones in this print. I always wonder if MaCenna is doing any research when she finds art or a print.
Hi there! Prefer watching podcasts. Pod video ideas: 1.) Romeo's reselling business. How he got started, the evolution, how he's grown as a seller. 2.) design dilemmas, maybe grouped by room? 3.) top tools you've loved, worth the money. Also, tools not worth the money 4.) anything with your mom 5.)interview a contractor(maybe if you gain a good relationship with your kitchen contractor) ask them the biggest fixes they've had to do for diy homeowners. 6.) viewer write ins on the biggest diy mistakes that were costly or time consuming fixes.7.) topics like renovation timeline 8.) later balancing a baby and diy
[going to add my ideas as a reply to yours so it won't disappear into the void] 9) how to improve the light in a space without busting thru the wall or ceiling 10) many people approach some things in a house as unchangeable (roof, walls, etc) what are the steps needed to take to put a window where there wasn't one? I doubt you just phone up a contractor and be all 'please put a window in my brick wall, or a skylight in my roof'
love all of these! wanted to add: - fans submitting DIYs they did inspired by your content either just to show it off or to ask for help/tip to complete it if they're at a road block - budgeting for projects (how to know a good bid vs someone ripping you off) or how to find good contractors/subs!
Love the idea of bringing in peoples specific questions or challenges, showing photos and talking through your approach to helping. I think this would be interesting because many of us have similar challenges.
I have a design dilemma, have a wall in my bedroom with a vaulted ceiling no window and just can’t figure out what to do with it to make it look warm besides putting a picture on it? It needs something?
@@deborahlehman8617 How about a large (tall) cathedral top mirror? It would help fill the space without being as visually "solid" as a piece of art. That would let you have something you feel is large enough for the space, too, which might be difficult with art. And there's the benefit of the light it reflects since you feel the loss of a window.
I miss your work on the cottage...those episodes got me through covid seclusion. Maybe future segments on you and Romeo finishing the cottage...your design and Romeo learning the building. Thank you.
My sister and I walked by you two at the Rose Bowl Flea and we were so excited to just see you, we didn’t want to bother you because you were just strolling and chatting with each other ❤
Oh I would have totally said Hi!!! I’m driving to cali next month just to go to the Rose bowl and to Olive arterlier . I will probably over buy but here in Yuma we don’t have good thrift stores and no flea markets 😢😢 I hope I see MaCenna and Romeo!!!
@@PjSmith that’s so exciting! There are lots of thrift stores, antique shops, and a flea market every weekend here in SoCal (1st Sunday: PCC Flea Market, 2nd Sunday:Rose Bowl, 3rd Sunday: Long Beach Flea, 4th Sunday: Topanga Flea Market) hope you over shop while you’re here!
I am a podcast watcher too. Yes on the Design Dilemmas. Also, maybe a little segment occasionally on how & where to get info/help/what not to do - including interview of someone who provides that help. Designer, buyer, electrician, plumber, or anyone who's willing to share tips and tricks in their area of expertise. I LOVE "Thinking Man" on the easel.
Don`t plan too many things for when baby comes,enjoy Motherhood take it easy .You will be supprised how much your life is going to change.Enjoy every second because it flys by so fast.
right it’s like fine that she can’t do much due to being pregnant but she could be doing design content - just seems like she’s not too passionate about helping people she just wants to do whatever she wants to do which is fine it’s just such a major shift from where her channel was.. it’s just victoria paris influencer vibes now lol
The renovations and projects are what the OTHER channel is about! This channel is her vlog - more about what's going on in her life, what's she planning, spending time with her...
You can definitely REPLICATE it!!! I've done it to 2 of my old frames!! use air dry clay as a mold from the other side and when it hardens, then use polymer clay, cut it, bake it, glue it, paint it!! and you're done!! :D
Definitely keen to hear more business related content! Always so interesting to hear how other entrepreneurs tick and overcome any road blocks along your jouney etc. Also learning more about your journey with UA-cam and advice on showing up, consistency, overcoming nerves on camera and how you handle any negative comments (if you get any) or negativity online - would be so useful to know too x
I always wonder how she stays so positive publicly! I would love to hear her process and methods, she is so smart. I just don't want her to shift to a business coach, because she makes it all seem so organic, romanticizes it all, and I love that, I don't want to completely see behind the curtain lol
I hope that Sunday's video will be very long because I am very excited for it, and I am also interested in watching the podcast when it talks about topics related to interior design and solving problems that we face in design and just discussion and brainstorming, in addition to being influenced by your style and I love what you do.
I don’t listen to podcasts. But I love it when you go thrifting, to the flea markets and estate sales and bring us along and show us how you decorate with your findings.
Hi! I actually love watching you during your podcast! My absolute favorite is when you did them with your Mom! Love the banter and different input between you both!
I LOVE the video version of a podcast! Love your topic ideas of the design dilemma, business side for the candles and for youtube, and how you learned to design room renovations like your kitchen!
Personally I like when I can watch podcasts in addition to listening. I can’t wait to see the nursery reveal on Sunday! I appreciate that you are discerning about what you buy for your home and that you don’t just buy things for the sake of buying. I enjoy thrift and flea market videos where you show what is there whether you buy the treasures or not.
I'm always so so happy to go on you tube and see you posted a new video!!! Your smile, just makes my day and I love seeing your life and how you make choices on things,.... I can't wait to see your baby and pray you still keep vlogging for memories as well as I and everyone who loves you sweetie!!!❤❤❤, love ya, Jennifer & Jeremy
I love the idea of your podcast including answering questions about dilemmas. I started following you because of your solutions in a rental space. I have been renting since 2011 and sometimes struggle with how to make it feel like my space. I love your style and your Mom’s style for gaining inspiration.
I watch podcasts. I loved your first season but I feel like you have covered what you wanted to cover for now, so I like the idea of exploring new concepts!
I love both of your channel's MaCenna very much, and I love all that you've done. While my home is not as formal as yours anymore, I truly love all that you've done. I absolutely love vintage and antique pieces, particularly the more rustic ones, and incorporate them in a more farmhouse/cottege design (or I'm trying to that is!). In response to your question about a podcast I definitely prefer one in video format because I am very much a visual learner. There are several things I'd love to see you address in these video podcasts are: how to best design a room, as well as how to address design issues; how to actually decide on the best paint colors for a room in the house,, as well as when you could paint a ceiling and/or the baseboards in a color other than white or cream; and finally, you have often shown projects where you have either made things and/or redone something, but I'd like to see. you explain exactly how to do them. You do amazing work and your confidence is inspiring.
I love that first picture and the lady making butter! But "the thinking man" is my favorite! Must say, there was a guy at the flea market that came right up behind that just creeped me out!!!!
I love podcasts. I usually listen to them while crocheting or working at the garden. They're helping me not to get bored of things I do and actually finish my projects 😄
I love when the podcast feels like a little behind the scenes of your life, a little insight into what you're thinking about in that moment. It could be diy, design inspiration, running a business/being an entrepreneur, pre-mom/mom stuff, parenting, fashion/beauty, health, being a public figure, money/saving... I dont know if others are interested in those things too, but l'd certainly watch anything you did like that
For a podcast, I would love a quarterly "catch-up" of recommendations. As simple as sharing favorite books you've read & why you would recommend, products you've tried & loved, the new recipe you've been obsessing over, rituals/habits you've implemented, great date night idea, recommending shows/podcasts/music that inspired you, etc. over the last few months. Love to hear about all the little things that inspire & resonate with people!
You are looking so amazing during your pregnancy, can’t describe how much you are glowing ❤😊 loving your vlogs and can’t wait to see the next video of the nursery!! The theme is awesome!
You always look great, but you look extra vibrant these days. You are beautiful and have such a sweet spirit! I'm thrilled things are going well! Your baby boy is so blessed to have such wonderful parents, grandparents, and extended family! ❤️
I saw a chateau renovation channel where they use silicone molds to cast the missing ornate trim. Then, they used resin and poured that into the molds. They did ornate wall mouldings as well as repaired old frames for their chateau renovation.
For the podcast; love the idea of Macenna solving design dilemmas. Side note Aldax Silicone Putty is a great moulding medium for creating casts to repair old frames. I use it for the cast, air dry clay for the mould, paint and rub n buff to paint 👍 you’re so clever you’d have no troubles fixing your frame. Not sure about the chemicals in the putty while your pregnant tho
I agree with the idea of donating to a charity in honor of the new baby. There are so many children’s charities out there. Eg. Operation smile. The little I know about MaCenna and Romeo, from her channel, I think they would love that idea. Plus, MaCenna has very specific tastes and doesn’t have a lot of storage space.
For me, podcasts are my daily dose of inspiration and positivity during walks and commutes. I seek out content that uplifts and motivates, boosting my serotonin levels and setting the tone for the day/afternoon ahead. Your perspective on challenging topics has been of comfort, teaching me valuable lessons and showing me how to overcome obstacles. For example, as a first time homebuyer, I constantly think back to your point that a "house is a living, breathing thing that needs constant attention". I was struggling hard with home issues and that help me feel not so alone and helped me change perspective. I think sharing some more of those challenges and lessons would be amazing! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and light with the world!
I love both listening to and watching podcasts! I would love discussions on “small-space” dilemmas! Even like how you went about making a desk area in your living room!
Your new ideas for the podcast is a great idea…I’m not a big podcast listener…I prefer visuals…so I appreciate the video versions. I would love to send you our kitchen design dilemma…and Thinking Man is a definite…its perfect.
I would love the design Dilemma pod cast!! As well as how to suggestions on how to design different rooms throughout the house! Also congratulations on the new addition and I would love to watch and hear a “first time mom talk”.
I enjoy watching podcasts lately more than listening. I personally would love to see the segment on design dilemmas cause I'm struggling in trying to find a style of my own.😂 I never really considered it before I started watching you.
I like the idea of design dilema for a topic. I much prefer videos to podcasts, but find in the car or doing dishes they are welcome. You look beautiful, so glad you feel good!
I was lucky in my second trimester with feeling good too! It’s such a relief to feel normal in the midst of all of the chaos. By the third tri my boy was kicking the literal wind out of me 🫣😂 take it easy mama! ❤
With My Two Hands sounds like not just about DIY's and experiences. There's a plethora of topics you could cover to include: -Your entrepreneurship experience -Best editing software you use, camera for car and moving about -Understanding your own personal style(s). You did a show discussing the different styles like MCM, French Country, English Cottage, Industrial, Modern Country, Modern, Transitional, Scandinavian , Art Deco etc., when you lived in the apartment (regarding art decor). I've visited so many people's homes and its a hodge-podge of styles, with no clear direction or how to even elevate or identify what they want their home to look and feel. Home is our safe haven, our space of peace, calm, joy and our mental break from the world's chaos. You have a real eye for design for complimenting colors for your walls and trim, art & home décor. We need your help and expertise talking about those really simple things. The platform is yours! I'm interested in Romeo's T-shirt business too!
Design dilemmas would be so cool! I’ve always wanted to ask you about decorating tips specific to my space and I know a lot of other people trust your taste in the same way
I usually put podcasts when I'm working on a project, usually the video version so I have something that keeps me entertained while working, specially your podcasts are so motivating and get me through projects that are usually tiring/boring.
Have you considered getting some air dry clay and a few rubber, or resin, moulds to make new trim for the picture frame that needs repair? Then you can glue the clay onto the parts that need to be repaired. You could also attempt to make your own mould directly from the frame, by using an area that is not damaged.
Hi Macenna! I really enjoyed when you did price breakdowns on your podcasts, and dissected what was worth DIYing and contracting out - that info reaaally has helped me out. I also think design dilemmas would be so much fun, I would definitely write in! Maybe you also can include a segment where you talk about what design elements you can have in your home if you’re trying to achieve a certain aesthetic. For example, if someone loves cottage core but they’re having trouble knowing how to incorporate that in their home, you would educate us on buying specific things, like wood, lace, knit blankets, etc.
Hi Macenna! It’s amazing you are continuing to work, and it’s obvious you have lots of energy and ideas in your constantly moving brain. I can tell! 😃 Here comes the unsolicited advice: It sounds to me like you and Romeo want to have more than one child. I just want to mention something I realized after second and third child came along for me. Please allow yourself to cherish and enjoy (relish really) that sweet, alone time with that first baby. It is so special! And when subsequent babies come along, that time is over. Only to say, the time with your first little boy will be so special-allow yourself that luxury. ~Cathy
Yes! To everything you said about the podcast. I’d love the design dilemmas and business side. I’d love to start projects on my own home but get so overwhelmed on how to start and prepare and pick out a design that goes not only with what I like but the structure of our home, paint colors ect. Anyway, I love your channel!
Hey I love your ideas on taking someone else’s dilemma and also help with how to start and where to start a project. Hey from Australia love your vlogs.
Podcast! I love the idea of a design dilemma podcast, I loved when you had guests, especially your mom. I think it's the perfect place for you to get into the details of a project, like 10 steps on how to design your own kitchen. 10 steps to build your own kitchen. How to put together a cohesive colour palate...
I personally love the video versions of podcasts. I often either watch them while I'm working, or I let them play while I'm running around doing chores, but it's nice to have both options!
I like to “watch” podcasts when I can. I love the content when it’s focused on empowerment of women. Whether as a mom to be, mom to a fur baby, corporate executive or content creator, retiree or stay at home mom, I think women need to lift each other up and support one another. I loved when you spoke of your two year plan to exit corporate life and how you achieved it. I watched you build a shack into a home, piece by piece, I watched you create and market Auden Lueur and I watched you purchase your dream house in California. I watched your pregnancy journey unfold and your honesty about how long conception took. I’ve been with you since the beginning of videos and the one common thread is empowerment and never saying no - or knowing your limitations. And it’s that empowerment which keeps me tuning into hear both you and your mom talk about the struggles of women in a man dominated field. For what it’s worth, I’m a retired 65yr old baby boomer who raised kids, stayed home to raise them, went back to work and started my own company before retiring to help care for my grand babies. Thank you for sharing those stories with us.
Podcast thoughts: I enjoy hearing how you process through design choices. The things you think about and how you make decisions. When you discuss the process of your decision making, how you find inspiration, how you try things out to make sure it is something you will love, and then what you do when you don't love a decision you chose, has always been helpful. If you did design dilemma's and included ways you would approach making different decisions or the steps to explore different options, it would not only be fun to see what you come up with, but would also be helping listeners apply the same principals to their own spaces. I also always gain a lot from hearing how other people problem solve (how to fix things on a budget, options and ideas for weird design features in a home, how to find out how to DIY something that seems overwhelming, etc.) sometimes it is hard to identify our own design road blocks until we hear someone else tackling the same things
I really love watching podcast episodes. I enjoy it much more than just listening to it. Also yes to talking about the Business side! I feel like that helps a lot of people, because it’s such a struggle building a business that works in the long run and having a good solid plan is something that only a few know how to do this.
Design dilemmas-yes! also maybe doing a segment where someone sends in a photo of their space and you work through your creative process to design the space. Also talking about reaching out to brands!
I’d love to see your answers to people’s design questions! Or even like business questions, you’ve created a really successful content creation business and so I’m sure you have so much wisdom you could share with new content creators!
Anything. Design problems, motherhood positive or negative, business, family. I listen to podcasts when I'm walking or cleaning, except your podcast it is the only one I watch.
I love watching video versions of podcasts; and i think taking time with you and your baby before you start the pod is totally fine we love you macenna!
❤Hi MaCenna! To restore the golden frame - Rajiv Surendra has two fantastic recent videos, in which he teaches how to restore and care for golden frames, I think you'll love it. You are looking great! 😊
I love your video style podcast! I think it sounds amazing to see it evolve with you. Start with a segment (or more) you are interested in right now and see where it grows. The main thing about your podcast for me is you. So I am mostly existed to see you more 😊
i love seeing you grow into motherhood, MaCenna!! It looks SO good on you. I'm usually a silent follower, and have been for about 6 years now, but I have to say that this is my favorite "skill" that you're gathering, it really is so inspiring. For the podcast, I would love to hear about the sides. of motherhood that nobody talks about. I'd also love to hear about your mom's journey with art (like many others, I'm so obsessed with her lol!). I am a young artist myself and her craft is just so beautiful and captivating; I would love to hear more about her process and where she gets her ideas/inspiration from!
Lol that French girl’s booth that you bought the easel from was literally one lane over from my booth and I was selling a TELESCOPE! That would have been so crazy to sell you my telescope haha! Lmk if you want it and I’ll drive it over to you 😜
Love to “watch” podcast too. Would love you to diagnose our decorating dilemmas or we could send in photos and you could suggest how to fix the problems. I think throwing in some of the business side would be interesting as well. Love seeing your baby bump,it looks so cute on you.❤️
I love the idea of helping people with their design dilemmas. I have a huge blank wall that I have no idea how to tackle. I really appreciate your plan to keep the detailed part of your baby journey separate. So happy for you both. I like seeing when things don't work out and you figure out a new plan (like the kitchen handles). I wouldn't mind smaller diys/crafts while you are in the more intense baby phase. I also loved the episode where you did a display in a thift store. Personally I prefer youtube 30min+ to other formats. Thank you for asking ❤ Love your work
Something that Drew does that I like, and wish you would do since I love your style, is to take some of your fan’s pictures of their difficult rooms and offer suggestions how you would style or decorate the space.

I always wonder how she stays so positive publicly! I would love to hear her process and methods, she is so smart. I just don't want her to shift to a business coach, because she makes it all seem so organic, romanticizes it all, and I love that, I don't want to completely see behind the curtain lol
I hope that Sunday's video will be very long because I am very excited for it, and I am also interested in watching the podcast when it talks about topics related to interior design and solving problems that we face in design and just discussion and brainstorming, in addition to being influenced by your style and I love what you do.
I don’t listen to podcasts. But I love it when you go thrifting, to the flea markets and estate sales and bring us along and show us how you decorate with your findings.
Hi! I actually love watching you during your podcast! My absolute favorite is when you did them with your Mom! Love the banter and different input between you both!
I LOVE the video version of a podcast! Love your topic ideas of the design dilemma, business side for the candles and for youtube, and how you learned to design room renovations like your kitchen!
Flea markets, Kinsley and YOU ! Perfect way to spend a rainy day, watching your video!!!
Sweet little Kinsley is always curious.❤
Loved Thinking Man there and thought, like you did, that being on canvas he looked like a work in progress, and great company for you too!
I agree. 😊
Personally I like when I can watch podcasts in addition to listening. I can’t wait to see the nursery reveal on Sunday! I appreciate that you are discerning about what you buy for your home and that you don’t just buy things for the sake of buying. I enjoy thrift and flea market videos where you show what is there whether you buy the treasures or not.
Ugh your cute little bump at 14:32! I am so happy for your and Romeo ♥️
These flea market days make me happy ❤
me tooooo :)
I'm always so so happy to go on you tube and see you posted a new video!!! Your smile, just makes my day and I love seeing your life and how you make choices on things,.... I can't wait to see your baby and pray you still keep vlogging for memories as well as I and everyone who loves you sweetie!!!❤❤❤, love ya, Jennifer & Jeremy
I love the idea of your podcast including answering questions about dilemmas. I started following you because of your solutions in a rental space. I have been renting since 2011 and sometimes struggle with how to make it feel like my space. I love your style and your Mom’s style for gaining inspiration.
I watch podcasts. I loved your first season but I feel like you have covered what you wanted to cover for now, so I like the idea of exploring new concepts!
I love both of your channel's MaCenna very much, and I love all that you've done. While my home is not as formal as yours anymore, I truly love all that you've done. I absolutely love vintage and antique pieces, particularly the more rustic ones, and incorporate them in a more farmhouse/cottege design (or I'm trying to that is!). In response to your question about a podcast I definitely prefer one in video format because I am very much a visual learner. There are several things I'd love to see you address in these video podcasts are: how to best design a room, as well as how to address design issues; how to actually decide on the best paint colors for a room in the house,, as well as when you could paint a ceiling and/or the baseboards in a color other than white or cream; and finally, you have often shown projects where you have either made things and/or redone something, but I'd like to see. you explain exactly how to do them. You do amazing work and your confidence is inspiring.
I love that first picture and the lady making butter! But "the thinking man" is my favorite! Must say, there was a guy at the flea market that came right up behind that just creeped me out!!!!
Love the idea of design dilemas. Looking forward to seeing the nursery and real excited about upcoming kitchen remodel!
MaCenna, Rajiv Surendra posted a video last week on how to repair old frames like the one you have. This is definitely something you can DIY ❤
Yes! This is the best answer! Loved his video!
He did a wonderful video on frame repair@
I love podcasts. I usually listen to them while crocheting or working at the garden. They're helping me not to get bored of things I do and actually finish my projects 😄
Art on the easel without a frame makes more sense to me.
I love when the podcast feels like a little behind the scenes of your life, a little insight into what you're thinking about in that moment. It could be diy, design inspiration, running a business/being an entrepreneur, pre-mom/mom stuff, parenting, fashion/beauty, health, being a public figure, money/saving... I dont know if others are interested in those things too, but l'd certainly watch anything you did like that
Love the thinking man w out a frame...it looks deliberate ❤
For a podcast, I would love a quarterly "catch-up" of recommendations. As simple as sharing favorite books you've read & why you would recommend, products you've tried & loved, the new recipe you've been obsessing over, rituals/habits you've implemented, great date night idea, recommending shows/podcasts/music that inspired you, etc. over the last few months. Love to hear about all the little things that inspire & resonate with people!
You are looking so amazing during your pregnancy, can’t describe how much you are glowing ❤😊 loving your vlogs and can’t wait to see the next video of the nursery!! The theme is awesome!
You always look great, but you look extra vibrant these days. You are beautiful and have such a sweet spirit! I'm thrilled things are going well! Your baby boy is so blessed to have such wonderful parents, grandparents, and extended family! ❤️
Aww thank you so much!!!
Lol at Romeo covering his eyes in the sun, turn your hat around 😊.
Made me chuckle too 😂
My thought exactly. And then he turns it around when he gets in the car because the visor gets in the way…but then takes it off all together 😂
😂😂😂
Yes!! 😂
I was looking for this comment! It made me chuckle too xD
Love your videos, lol Romeo shielding his eyes from the sun at the markets while he has a hat on backwards 😆
I saw a chateau renovation channel where they use silicone molds to cast the missing ornate trim. Then, they used resin and poured that into the molds. They did ornate wall mouldings as well as repaired old frames for their chateau renovation.
I saw on Escape to the dream chateau Terry
Yes! I've seen this on several channels for several different kinds of applications
Love what they’re doing at Escape to the Dream!
1) LOVE your podcast so much!! I usually listen to it :)
2) I really love the idea about hearing more about the business side of your work!
For the podcast; love the idea of Macenna solving design dilemmas.
Side note Aldax Silicone Putty is a great moulding medium for creating casts to repair old frames. I use it for the cast, air dry clay for the mould, paint and rub n buff to paint 👍 you’re so clever you’d have no troubles fixing your frame. Not sure about the chemicals in the putty while your pregnant tho
I absolutely love the design dilemmas!!!!!!
I agree with the idea of donating to a charity in honor of the new baby. There are so many children’s charities out there. Eg. Operation smile. The little I know about MaCenna and Romeo, from her channel, I think they would love that idea. Plus, MaCenna has very specific tastes and doesn’t have a lot of storage space.
For me, podcasts are my daily dose of inspiration and positivity during walks and commutes. I seek out content that uplifts and motivates, boosting my serotonin levels and setting the tone for the day/afternoon ahead. Your perspective on challenging topics has been of comfort, teaching me valuable lessons and showing me how to overcome obstacles. For example, as a first time homebuyer, I constantly think back to your point that a "house is a living, breathing thing that needs constant attention". I was struggling hard with home issues and that help me feel not so alone and helped me change perspective. I think sharing some more of those challenges and lessons would be amazing! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and light with the world!
I love the thinking man there .
I love both listening to and watching podcasts! I would love discussions on “small-space” dilemmas! Even like how you went about making a desk area in your living room!
Your new ideas for the podcast is a great idea…I’m not a big podcast listener…I prefer visuals…so I appreciate the video versions. I would love to send you our kitchen design dilemma…and Thinking Man is a definite…its perfect.
I would love the design Dilemma pod cast!! As well as how to suggestions on how to design different rooms throughout the house! Also congratulations on the new addition and I would love to watch and hear a “first time mom talk”.
I enjoy watching podcasts lately more than listening. I personally would love to see the segment on design dilemmas cause I'm struggling in trying to find a style of my own.😂 I never really considered it before I started watching you.
I like the idea of design dilema for a topic. I much prefer videos to podcasts, but find in the car or doing dishes they are welcome. You look beautiful, so glad you feel good!
What a blessing to have a fruit baring tree❤
I was lucky in my second trimester with feeling good too! It’s such a relief to feel normal in the midst of all of the chaos. By the third tri my boy was kicking the literal wind out of me 🫣😂 take it easy mama! ❤
With My Two Hands sounds like not just about DIY's and experiences. There's a plethora of topics you could cover to include:
-Your entrepreneurship experience
-Best editing software you use, camera for car and moving about
-Understanding your own personal style(s). You did a show discussing the different styles like MCM, French Country, English Cottage, Industrial, Modern Country, Modern, Transitional, Scandinavian , Art Deco etc., when you lived in the apartment (regarding art decor).
I've visited so many people's homes and its a hodge-podge of styles, with no clear direction or how to even elevate or identify what they want their home to look and feel.
Home is our safe haven, our space of peace, calm, joy and our mental break from the world's chaos.
You have a real eye for design for complimenting colors for your walls and trim, art & home décor. We need your help and expertise talking about those really simple things. The platform is yours! I'm interested in Romeo's T-shirt business too!
Design dilemmas would be so cool! I’ve always wanted to ask you about decorating tips specific to my space and I know a lot of other people trust your taste in the same way
Ahh I loved Vermeer’s Milkmaid on the easel!
The colors looked beautiful there.
I usually put podcasts when I'm working on a project, usually the video version so I have something that keeps me entertained while working, specially your podcasts are so motivating and get me through projects that are usually tiring/boring.
I loved those podcasts you had someone with you to talk to
Love the idea of a platform where you could help us with our own design issues! I always watched your podcasts- I liked the visual.
Have you considered getting some air dry clay and a few rubber, or resin, moulds to make new trim for the picture frame that needs repair? Then you can glue the clay onto the parts that need to be repaired. You could also attempt to make your own mould directly from the frame, by using an area that is not damaged.
I love hearing/ learning about the behind the scenes of UA-cam! Like the cameras and equipment and how you go about filming etc…
It was hilarious seeing Romeo blocking the sun when he was wearing a hat 😅
I listen to the podcast on my 35-40 min commute to work :) a segment on answering decor dilemmas sounds great!
Magic Kinsley at 22:40. 😂 Yes, would love a design dilemmas segment.
Hi Macenna! I really enjoyed when you did price breakdowns on your podcasts, and dissected what was worth DIYing and contracting out - that info reaaally has helped me out. I also think design dilemmas would be so much fun, I would definitely write in! Maybe you also can include a segment where you talk about what design elements you can have in your home if you’re trying to achieve a certain aesthetic. For example, if someone loves cottage core but they’re having trouble knowing how to incorporate that in their home, you would educate us on buying specific things, like wood, lace, knit blankets, etc.
Hi Macenna! It’s amazing you are continuing to work, and it’s obvious you have lots of energy and ideas in your constantly moving brain. I can tell! 😃 Here comes the unsolicited advice:
It sounds to me like you and Romeo want to have more than one child.
I just want to mention something I realized after second and third child came along for me.
Please allow yourself to cherish and enjoy (relish really) that sweet, alone time with that first baby. It is so special! And when subsequent babies come along, that time is over. Only to say, the time with your first little boy will be so special-allow yourself that luxury. ~Cathy
Yes! To everything you said about the podcast. I’d love the design dilemmas and business side. I’d love to start projects on my own home but get so overwhelmed on how to start and prepare and pick out a design that goes not only with what I like but the structure of our home, paint colors ect.
Anyway, I love your channel!
I really miss the cottage video's ❤
Hey I love your ideas on taking someone else’s dilemma and also help with how to start and where to start a project. Hey from Australia love your vlogs.
The $4 Vermeer is my favorite… I love it
Podcast! I love the idea of a design dilemma podcast, I loved when you had guests, especially your mom.
I think it's the perfect place for you to get into the details of a project, like 10 steps on how to design your own kitchen.
10 steps to build your own kitchen.
How to put together a cohesive colour palate...
The business side of things would be super interesting since I want my own business one day!!
I personally love the video versions of podcasts. I often either watch them while I'm working, or I let them play while I'm running around doing chores, but it's nice to have both options!
I like to “watch” podcasts when I can. I love the content when it’s focused on empowerment of women. Whether as a mom to be, mom to a fur baby, corporate executive or content creator, retiree or stay at home mom, I think women need to lift each other up and support one another. I loved when you spoke of your two year plan to exit corporate life and how you achieved it. I watched you build a shack into a home, piece by piece, I watched you create and market Auden Lueur and I watched you purchase your dream house in California. I watched your pregnancy journey unfold and your honesty about how long conception took. I’ve been with you since the beginning of videos and the one common thread is empowerment and never saying no - or knowing your limitations.
And it’s that empowerment which keeps me tuning into hear both you and your mom talk about the struggles of women in a man dominated field. For what it’s worth, I’m a retired 65yr old baby boomer who raised kids, stayed home to raise them, went back to work and started my own company before retiring to help care for my grand babies. Thank you for sharing those stories with us.
Podcast thoughts: I enjoy hearing how you process through design choices. The things you think about and how you make decisions. When you discuss the process of your decision making, how you find inspiration, how you try things out to make sure it is something you will love, and then what you do when you don't love a decision you chose, has always been helpful. If you did design dilemma's and included ways you would approach making different decisions or the steps to explore different options, it would not only be fun to see what you come up with, but would also be helping listeners apply the same principals to their own spaces. I also always gain a lot from hearing how other people problem solve (how to fix things on a budget, options and ideas for weird design features in a home, how to find out how to DIY something that seems overwhelming, etc.) sometimes it is hard to identify our own design road blocks until we hear someone else tackling the same things
Remind Romeo that the brim of his hat will shade his eyes from the sun!😂 Love, love, love that easel!!!
I really love watching podcast episodes. I enjoy it much more than just listening to it.
Also yes to talking about the Business side! I feel like that helps a lot of people, because it’s such a struggle building a business that works in the long run and having a good solid plan is something that only a few know how to do this.
Romeo at the flea market shielding his eyes from the sun while wearing a backwards hat 😂 Made me giggle. Love you guys! ❤
Design dilemmas-yes! also maybe doing a segment where someone sends in a photo of their space and you work through your creative process to design the space.
Also talking about reaching out to brands!
I can’t wait to see the final episode of the nursery! ❤
I’d love to see your answers to people’s design questions! Or even like business questions, you’ve created a really successful content creation business and so I’m sure you have so much wisdom you could share with new content creators!
So excited to witness your journey
Anything. Design problems, motherhood positive or negative, business, family. I listen to podcasts when I'm walking or cleaning, except your podcast it is the only one I watch.
Hey! It’s the cutest lil preggo lady on UA-cam lol ❤
awww hahahah :)
I love watching video versions of podcasts; and i think taking time with you and your baby before you start the pod is totally fine we love you macenna!
Hi MaCenna! When is part 2 of the nursery makeover coming out? 🥹
On Sunday.
I would absolutely love to hear about the business side of things as well as seeing how you would solve design dilemmas.
❤Hi MaCenna! To restore the golden frame - Rajiv Surendra has two fantastic recent videos, in which he teaches how to restore and care for golden frames, I think you'll love it. You are looking great! 😊
I was looking for a comment where someone mentioned his videos! They were super interesting to watch
I was also looking if someone had posted this.
I agree! I love his videos as much as MaCennas
I love your video style podcast! I think it sounds amazing to see it evolve with you. Start with a segment (or more) you are interested in right now and see where it grows. The main thing about your podcast for me is you. So I am mostly existed to see you more 😊
Romeo using his hand to block the sun instead of his hat made me lol
i love seeing you grow into motherhood, MaCenna!! It looks SO good on you. I'm usually a silent follower, and have been for about 6 years now, but I have to say that this is my favorite "skill" that you're gathering, it really is so inspiring. For the podcast, I would love to hear about the sides. of motherhood that nobody talks about. I'd also love to hear about your mom's journey with art (like many others, I'm so obsessed with her lol!). I am a young artist myself and her craft is just so beautiful and captivating; I would love to hear more about her process and where she gets her ideas/inspiration from!
Lol that French girl’s booth that you bought the easel from was literally one lane over from my booth and I was selling a TELESCOPE! That would have been so crazy to sell you my telescope haha! Lmk if you want it and I’ll drive it over to you 😜
Love to “watch” podcast too. Would love you to diagnose our decorating dilemmas or we could send in photos and you could suggest how to fix the problems. I think throwing in some of the business side would be interesting as well. Love seeing your baby bump,it looks so cute on you.❤️
Clicked super quick. Love your videos ✨❤️
I love the idea of helping people with their design dilemmas. I have a huge blank wall that I have no idea how to tackle. I really appreciate your plan to keep the detailed part of your baby journey separate. So happy for you both. I like seeing when things don't work out and you figure out a new plan (like the kitchen handles). I wouldn't mind smaller diys/crafts while you are in the more intense baby phase. I also loved the episode where you did a display in a thift store. Personally I prefer youtube 30min+ to other formats. Thank you for asking ❤ Love your work
