Your consistency honestly makes you so much more enjoyable to watch!! Who agrees?
Agreed 100%
Thank you so much!!! I love creating videos for you guys!!!
Agreed!
@@XOMaCenna and we love watching them!!
100% my fave channel to watch
You absolutely OWN your style, and it’s so refreshing to watch! Most other UA-camrs seem to style the exact same way as each other, and I find their choices boring and predictable. You always have the most unique and gorgeous designs! We need a style named after you
Thank you!! 😭 That means so so much to me
Totally agree. Macenna is such a joy to watch.
The MaCenna style!
I agree. Also, the reason why I can’t stop watching her videos. ❤️
The Mac!
I absolutely love that you're trying to salvage and use as much Used as you can. Sometimes house building and design gets to be so wasteful and to see someone else trying to bring a second life to things makes me so incredibly happy.
couldn't agree more!
The doors are so pretty and so much history behind all of them! What a fun day with your mom. Loving how unique each place will be.
I just feel you're doing something so different than anything else on UA-cam, or honestly, any network television. This has been incredibly refreshing and inspiring!
I agree so much with this!
Low key so jealous of this project!!! Between the original cottage and getting to build the new ones completely from scratch, it is a DIY lover’s project of a lifetime!! ✨💙
MaCenna just opened a door to a whole new world for me. I had no idea people salvaged antique hardware. How cool!
What I really love about you is your sincerity. Even for the ad bits for the sponsors your eyes
light up AND those bits are as interesting. Bless you dear girl, and specially for your ( both of yours ) reuse, recycle, repurpose and reinvent approach to nearly everything. May your life in the cottage and the guest cottages be wonderful!
Thank you so much!
@@XOMaCenna ❤️
Can I just say I am absolutely LIVING for these project and cottage updates!! I love your videos and your ability to mix old with new and still make it feel fresh and modern. You are by far my favorite UA-camr lately so I just wanted to let you know I appreciate all the work you put into your content for your followers!
I'm gonna say it for us all....we need to have a series on your mommas plans for the land they bought!!! Seeing both of your ideas and styles are just so exciting!!!
I lost my Mom in my late 20’s and it is such a joy to see you and your Mom share this journey together. You guys have such a special bond❤️
Im jealous of their bond but so happy for them that they have it
Sandy I read your comment I can only hope you have found friends and family to fill that void. I grew up without a mother .😢
I agree. Lost my mom last year.
I lost my mom when I was 20 also. 35 years ago. Friends and family do help fill that void. I see pieces of my mom in the best friend's I've made.
I lost my mother when i was 17.. 41yrs on I still miss her and wonder how it would be if she was still here, with great grandchildren... I had a wonderful aunt who was my rock... I miss her too 🙏❤️❤️
I love your design, but if I were you I would consider having a closed bedroom in one cottage. If you ever have guests with a baby, they can let the baby sleep in the bedroom and be in the living room without disturbing that much. A wall with double sliding doors could be open most of the time and would be very visually open. There are also foldable doors. It's just a suggestion, of course 😅
It could be fun to put nice pocket doors that could be used to section off the bedroom (if the front doors weren’t centered). That way, it’s very open, but if one guest wants to go to bed early or something, they could close it off. Or if the couch/sofa is a sleeper, then they could fit 3 or 4 people in one cabin. That way, people with kids could come stay and the parent(s) could still have some privacy.
It’s like all the doors from the monsters inc factory lol!
the comment i was looking for because i know I'm not the only one who thought that! lol
@@waterbitten lol it instantly reminded me!
😂😂 love that
MaCenna: look at ALL the hardware!!!
Also MaCenna: heads straight for the pots 😆
Metal roof at our house stayed only for 20 years, the terracotta roof still today are in excellent conditions on my grandparents house , after more than 100 years.
I really didn't think my life was gonna end up with me enjoying a video about doorknobs but here we are.
Love your content MaCenna!! So excited to see where this goes, definitely going to support Madewell for supporting such a wonderful content creator
I'm fairly new to this channel and I am OBSESSED with watching it now. This is not only a renovation but almost like a treasure hunt to find the most special pieces, hardware, lighting, etc to make your property and home everything that has spoken to you. My husband and I have been working on my fixer upper house for 7 years now and I haven't found what truly speaks to me fully. Watching your vlog has inspired me so very much! I love this!
The fun part- designing the cottages! Definitely go with cement siding- we did and love the no maintenance aspect. Our house was built for us too and picking tile and counters and flooring and paint was a challenge but so much fun too! Remember if it's nice it's because Mom picked it out was priceless!!! She is so cool!!! 🥰😊
Yay that’s so good to hear! That’s the way I’m leaning too for the cement siding!
We had wood siding on our home and maintenance was costly. You need to fill any cracks that happen over time. We had a woodpecker that would peck at the knots on one side of the house so those would need filled, and it was easier for bugs particularly ants to get in even with a professional pest control company spraying on a schedule than another type of siding, plus mice moved in to the wall space. According to pest control mice can get in through a hole as small as a pencil. We bought the house with the wood siding and it was estimated around $40,000 to change to another kind of siding.
The metal roof is so pretty- that's my vote :)
I could cry seeing you buying all the old hardware and doors! Crying in a good way of course. These houses are going to look wonderful! I would be so overwhelmed trying to figure out what would work. You are so blessed to have a vision of what will work out for your houses. How you will refinish or use as is and where.
It is so awesome to see so many older doors being saved and reused. I love watching you and your mother shop for both of your places too.
Those doors and knobs are beautiful. I can’t wait to see the full design come to life. This is my new fav UA-cam series right now ❤️
Aww yay!!! Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness the STORIES these objects could tell! So fantastic. What a treasure trove 😍
oh wow! amazing that you are zoned to allow for three cottages on such a small property!
I'm so impressed and happy that you are reusing and buying pre-loved pieces for your house!! The best thing you can do for the enviroment
I'm freaking oouuut with that hardware stooore!!! Everything there is just gorgeouuuuus!!!
When I stay at Airbnb’s or bed-and-breakfast I look for a washer dryer could consider putting a combo in
Omg the metal roof would look gorgeous and very cohesive with the main house! Please reconsider!!!
Your positivity is infectious. I am in England and love just taking a few minutes out of my day with a good filter coffee and your videos.x
I love that you spent 4 hrs putting door knobs together and no one complained- I would love to spend that amount of time ensuring what I was buying was perfect - my inpatient boyfriend doesnt like to spend more than an hr in a place.
I just really enjoy watching yo get all the plans together for these cottages- thanks for taking us along on your journey!! Feel free to post more videos,lol
Your parents are so supportive, they are so sweet
You have a genuinely remarkable gift to be able to inject a sponsor's products into your videos so effortlessly...yet still remain true to your channel's mission statement ❤ Any company should consider themselves lucky to be partnered with you 😊
Go with fiber cement! You can splurge on more fun stuff than overpriced wood 😃👍
Loving that you're not just modernizing everything and you're keeping or adding as much vintage character into these new builds. They'll fit sure be so beautifu, eclecticl and welcoming. I just completed a guest cottage and went with the fiber board siding. Looooove it. Because I'm a sucker for real wood, I can tell it's not wood siding but it looks so good and will last.
My days are made when I see you upload 💕
Mine too! 🤗🤍
Me too!
Aww thank you so much!!!
I feel this is a project of love. It will be awesome to talk during family dinner about this Journey. It is so nice seeing your mom and dad soooo involved. I love them. 🥰
Can't wait to watch you restore all of those wooden and metal pieces. Please do them as semi-tutorial style videos. I'm so keen to learn!!
You’re brass hardware will match so well with your brass candle holders ❤️
That Madewell top really brings out your eyes! So beautiful!
I love your enthusiasm when you are describing your cottages, I am so excited for you and Romeo. Also shopping with your Mom is great and the doors are amazing❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness! I would have been so overwhelmed by the door and door handle options! Props to you! 👏👏
She’s a doll love her relationship she has with her mom and dad. I’m sure they are very proud of their beautiful daughter. Such a nice family. So good with their pets.
Love how much you are shopping antique for the cottage! Very refreshing
In one of the cottages, you should do a really girly one! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 i can’t wait to see how these turn out!!
Thank you for uploading. I havent been feeling good lately and tbh your videos kept me sane and happy. Keep going macenna!!! Rooting for you always! 🤍
I love the floorplan of the guest cottages
Metal roofs are expensive but the cost pays for itself when you realized how long they last. The detail in the door hardware is priceless, the craftsmanship is incredible no machine did that. I'm in my element shopping with you. Nothing today could compare with this unless it's so overpriced and unattainable.n I watched a video on you tube of someone that did the vertical tiles in the bathroom and "of my god" it was beautiful. Loved this video. I don't know how to answer what I'm made of but I wish I had purchased an older house now.
Can I just say that watching your videos is like getting a call from my daughter after a week or so. It feels like we’re catching up and everything is going so well. Makes my heart full.
I so appreciate your commitment to restoration, it's going to be beautiful.
When you talk to your parents, your southern accent comes out more and it's so interesting to see! I come from a rural town in Australia and find my accent becomes so much thicker when I speak to my family too.
I love these videos, your approach to salvage as much as possible from the house or buy secondhand is very inspiring for when I can finally do up my own home!
Rain on a tin roof is so cool, very traditional.
Concrete fiber board as siding is awesome! We redid our old house with this and it’s awesome you won’t regret it
Can wait to see the final results 🥰
I love how much JOY you give off. Not just for the love for this project but for life! XO
I made of gratitude! #everydaymadewell
I find it infinitely interesting how everything is so different about the construction of these cottages than it is in Europe. Here a cottage is made of brick and the exterior is plastered and painted, only the roof is a wooden structure that’s covered in clay tiles, the house sits on a concrete base and fire places are luxury features, no regular home has them. Even drywalls are usually put on a mental structure rather than a wooden one. Anyway, great job on the plans and project management, can’t wait to see the results!!! 🤩
Love to see old things used again... Bring them back to life with all the special textures and details. The doors you bought are very common in my country. I am from Malta and we have those kind of doors in our town houses. Unfortunately a lot of people don't appreciate old house characteristics in my country and a lot of beautiful old big housrs are being destroyed to make space for modern small apartments.
My only comment is WHY DO YOU MAKE THESE VIDEOS SO SHORT? I NEED TO WATCH MORE OF YOUUUU!!! You guys are my weekly appointment and I never have enough! Keep inspiring us!!!!
Totally do fiber cement, I have it and love it. Same with weathered shingles, remember black will really attract the sun and put more wear and tear on your roof. Totally enjoying these videos, can’t wait to see the finished product.
I have a new appreciation for finishes. Very intricate details. I am learning patience. You really take your time and wait for the right pieces to come together. ❤️❤️❤️
In my 100 year old house I had glass subway tile in the main bath that was original to the house. The rectangles were large and the color of a celery or jade green. They bordered the top of the white ceramic tiles all around the room higher than a chair rail. I had to re-tile the shower so I used small white ceramic subway and bordered it with a mixed green glass to blend with the rest of the bathroom. Try out several green shades before choosing. I was able to find green glass vintage jars to hold swabs and stuff too. And I had all those cool plates and knobs and hinges and rope weight windows. It’s so fun rehabbing an old home. ❤️🥰👍
HGTV needs to make you an offer for a show! U r so talented, down to earth, and a natural in front of the camera. Love your personality and positivity!!💜
ugh im ssooooo excited to see the green tile!!! i love anything and everything earthy toned like that
I LOVED TODAYS video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
OMG that antique store is gorgeous👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
My dream would be more uniform look, same roofs, then decorate each uniquely only a thread of familiarity in all.
Doorknob jackpot! Love what you found. The handle for the linen closet is perfect 😍
In a perfect world you would have the time to do a series about your mom’s house as well 😓 I’m so anxious to see yours done! 🤩
Love you and your parents work so hard to save older homes and make them beautiful!! You’re an inspiration and so fun to watch!!! I hope to come visit your beautiful little cottage! Let us know when we can start booking!!! Your adorable and talented!
WOw, That hardware store is everything. the doors are so beautiful .
Such an exciting task to design the main cottage and the guest cottages! Just one thought - I never book an Airbnb with shared living and sleeping space with my husband as he enjoys staying up later than I do so we need a bedroom that has a door that closes so he can watch movies half the night in another room. Not sure who will be using the guest cottages but could be something to consider. Love your content and your excitement over all the details! x
I am made of enthusiasm, laughter, creativity, and a “what’s next” attitude! #madewell
The vintage finds you are sourcing are incredible. I also go thrift and antique shopping with my mom! It’s just our thing and we have a blast. Much like you two! ☺️ Keep up the positivity and willingness to think outside the box! Makes for wonderful content 🌼
Love your personality and enthusiasm. I especially love your style and how much I learn from you. Wish you had your TV show.
I love your mom’s layout!! I’m in love with the colors and textures! 😍
I love you bubble personality. I definitely know who you get that from “mom”. She’s a beautiful lady your daddy on the other hand is like “let’s get this done” type of person. Your so blessed to have such a wonderful set of parents that are there 💯 for you.
omg its so exciting seeing you actually buy things we'll see in the cottages. cant believe those are 1700s french doors and that vinyl wood flooring is sooo pretty I'm definitely considering that in my tiny house build. I'm looking for the perfect french doors too so this is so fun to watch!
I am loving watching you THRIVING!!!
I love your channel! I think I would want a wall separating the bedroom from the rest of the cottage incase there was a sleeper sofa in the living room. It would offer a little privacy.
The cottages are going to beautiful! I love the doors, I can’t wait to see them finished and placed.
How exciting!! They will be gorgeous!!! I think I am as anxious as you are to see the final product! Your mom is a sweetie too!!
I was raised there on one of the tallest hills/mountains in Center Point, Tx and we had a rock-faced living room with a tall ceiling and wall-to-wall bookshelves and a pot belly stove in the older living room, right as you walk into the house. Such a beautiful area that holds so many childhood memories of mine.
I love that this is truly a family project!
That natural creamy white tile your mom picked out for her house is exactly what I’m imagining for my kitchen! A dream.
I’m loving watching these. What about making the siding for the cottages from local sandstone? Would be really pretty.
Yay I've been rewatching your past videos to cheer myself up. Your positive energy puts me in a good mood 😊
omg that old hardware shop was nothing short of amazing, holy wooow!
You and your parents' enthusiasm is contagious! I smile every time you squeal. haha Will you be renting the guest cottages? Like air b&b's?
Can't wait!!
I’ve never seen so many doors🚪 and hardware and etc in one place! What a great store! Loving this series 🖤
Now THIS is so much fun! I can totally see the sparkle in your eyes and how excited you are! Love it! 🤗
you should make a little book of what years each door and door knob is from (if you know) with a little picture of them before and after being restored or something!! And you could keep it by your front entrance so when people come over you can give them a little history tour of your house hehe
Great idea!
I'd love to hear about your sustainability plans/eco considerations for the house and cottages (if this is part of your planning)!
MaCenna
I really enjoy your cottage reno and the new builds .
You will make your home so warm cozy n warm and inviting
The projects will shine just like u
Learning lots from u , loving antique shopping n unique shops u cruise through
Keep up your fun vibes n energy
🇨🇦
I’ve said this probably a hundred times already....I LOVE THIS JOURNEY AND YOUR ENTIRE PROCESS❣️🏘
I really love how much respect you have for the history of your house and area. It's so refreshing!
Every girl need a dad like yours.
Fluted glass would look so beautiful on the linen closet door!
This is all so intimidating. I'm so glad you and your mom have an eye for this stuff and know what you're doing. I couldn't imagine having to do all of the work you're doing.
Her mom is an interior designer and her dad is a civil engineer and an architect, so I think they know what they're doing, they are a family of very talented people. :)
Loving this series! Especially the Antiques. You should check out Antique Week in Warrenton/ Round Top. They sell lots of antiques.
I love the way you see beauty in old stuff and how you make it shine again ❤️❤️❤️
Love that hardware store, pure gold!!! Great resource liked the egg shaped door knobs.
I'm made of dreams and thousands of pinterest boards! I'm enjoying your renovations! Thanks for sharing with us. ❤
