MaCenna does more in a week than I’ve done all year.
LOL! Me, too! But I'm retired and I'd rather watch MaCenna do stuff than do anything myself. ♥ Besides which, I'm not remotely handy. 😄
Hahahahaha best comment so freaking funny
😂😂😂
Seriously! 😅
@@jomariesalcedo43 every time I get on UA-cam she’s had another stellar week and I’ve just spent a day doing god knows what.
I just wanted to say I saw a youtuber (Linda smith new english find living) She said she did one of her projects just for her, no recording just her her thoughts tranquillity and a normal life, and it worked wonders for her. Like you, she's always on work mode for viewers. She said it was very therapeutic and was nice for change... Please, MaCenna, do something like this for yourself even if you share it afterwards 🙂❤
Yes ! I love Linda
That came across as promoting the UA-camr Linda to MaCenna rather than making a suggestion. If MaCenna felt burnt out, Romeo or her fantastic mother, who is an amazing artist, would tell her. MaCenna sharing isn't MaCenna moaning. She's wonderful ❤️
Umm she only shares an hour of her life with us . What makes you think she doesn’t do all of what you mentioned. What an invalid comment .
She definitely isnt burned out, she takes enough breaks and its 24 mins out of a whole week.
Macenna talking to her roses vs talking to Kinsley ❤ love the excitement you get for everything :)
Macenna pushes me to be more productive when i procrastinate. Such a motivator. Thank you both. Your house is also my inspiration for what i want my house to feel like.
Same here!
How incredibly Blessed you are to purchase a new home with an already established garden ❤. I’ve been working on my teaspoon of a backyard for years and it’s still not as beautiful as yours
I love that you're getting into gardening! For what it's worth, I believe it's pronounced A-liss-um, instead of a-lees-y-um. They're a great flower and think you'll have the perfect spot!
Yes! A-lease-um, my Mom had so many when I was growing up.
Oops, guess I’ve been pronouncing that wrong too 😅
I LOVE my garden so much, as well - and my new found joy is to press some of the flowers with long stems and then arrange them as bouquets in a frame...to put it in your words: I'M OBSESSED!! it's such pretty art and keeps my beautiful blooms colourful all through winter!
Maybe thats an idea for you, too 😊
@@janetsegura2957 there are so many videos about it on UA-cam, but the old 'slide it between two tissue papers, put them in a book and stack many more on top' method works just as well ;)
AH! Get the Cosmos! It grows wild around here and a friend of mine always picks mini-bouquets and gifts them saying "Want liefde kos mos niks" ("Because love doesn't cost anything" in Afrikaans)
The first flowers you picked up at the greenhouse, Cosmos are extremely hearty and require basically no care at all! They love the sun! They’ll spread each year and come back more than the year prior! They get pretty tall! I’ve had some that got 4 to 5 feet tall!
So nice of Romeo to share his compliment on flowers.😊
We need Romeo to do a video on removing stains from clothing! Love all your vids 🫶🏻
Love your new home MaCenna!! Praying for you that God blesses you with answered prayers for a baby all in God’s timing. ❤
Amen!
I can’t believe Easy Off stripped the wood off beautifully! It’s looks gorgeous
I couldn’t be any happier for you Macenna. You’ve perfected navigating the real world early on and now that’s paying off. Hats off to you girl! Also, I’ve heard you say something in this video that might be a hint for something extremely joyful, but I won’t mention it now for several reasons. You just have to know that you deserve the best ❤
I'm a therapist and sometimes it's just really nice to watch a video with happy people.
When I get a notification for this channel, I let my dog know "it's time! We get to watch Macenna and Kinsley!" 🐾
😊 The shot of you in the kitchen, in a ball cap…You look just like your mom!
I agree, I've noticed that quite often lately !!
Can't believe I'm so early, yay! I have been loving your videos. My husband and I are moving from an urban city to a total rural environment to run a guest house. We have been given an old 2 bedroom farmhouse to do over as our own and we can’t wait. My husband is hands on in the building industry and I'm not scared of getting down and dirty with power tools. The house has good bones but needs a serious overhaul, we can't wait for our new journey. My husband never thought he would start a new career at 54 after being in his industry for 30 years. Your videos give me so much inspiration and husband is on board with some of my (your) ideas, i do give you full credit though! Our dream Karoo farmhouse will come to life soon! Sending love from South Africa, ❤
This is the highlight of my day. I’ve been having a rough week but your videos always make me smile 😊
I hope your day gets brighter. 🙏🏽
13:57 the jeans are really cute! I feel like the pants you’ve been wearing recently haven’t been fitting you the greatest. These ones are so much more flattering on you. (No shade, I swear!!)
Next time you make sweat shirts with a saying on them, please do “Do you know what I mean?”
It is what you say so often and I love it!! I’ve been watching/enjoying your videos since your thrift deco flipping days and it’s been amazing to watch you grow and tackle larger projects! My husband and I have bought a house and are flipping it. I’m getting inspiration from your style from the cottage and I am LOVING the transformation of you LA home🥹
You are awesome and keep up the great and beautiful work!!
Decor*
You’re very lucky to have an established, beautiful garden. Enjoy every moment of it. May God continue to bless you ❤
You might want to get some non-glass pretty cups for around the pool. Glass and pool with hard brick surface surround is not a good combo.
The curio cupboard turned out as such a statement piece ❤
Coffee and butter pecan. Thanks for taking us with you! Love you all!
Me too!
Oh I really liked that first long, narrow table you saw at the flea market, it would be a great table for your current dining room space!!
Super busy right now but I’m going to let your vid run the background. I don’t know what it is but listening to your voice is very relaxing.
The garden content never gets old
I love watching your enthusiasm throughout your videos. Thank goodness for your inspiration. Great to see you all enjoying life to the full. Big hugs to Kinsley X
I'm so happy for both of you. You guys deserve it.❤
Love from london is visiting isreal 11:30 pm here now I have to watch
When I watch your videos I am always dreaming of going to LA one day and shopping at those awesome flea markets ❤
A rug under furniture makes furniture not wobble on an uneven floor.
You've got that summer-time look goin' on! Your face is a tiny bit tan and your hair looks like it's been lightened by the sun a little. It makes your blue eyes pop! Love, love, love every time you video Kinsley. She is the cutest thing in the world (after my pups). Also, I really like that casual tee and jeans outfit you wore. It does look really comfy. I've already watched the curio cabinet restoration. That was a great video!
Favorite Ice cream: #1. Rocky Road #2. Butter Pecan #3. Pralines and Cream
a-lis-um....wonderful little wonders. Great pot fillers with your thrillers and spillers. Wonderful borders. In Chicago, even though they are basically annuals, mine would come back just like a perennial. Always a welcome delight!
My favorite ice cream is: dark chocolate with chocolate chip & fudge. My favorite UA-camr: MaCenna!
My favorite time of day: when she drops a new Sunday & Tuesday
video!
The desk that was too tall could have been cut down to the right hight-another DIY project, it had a wonderful shapely side brace.
Makes my day when I see your new videos... always get inspiration for interiors, diys and even fashion ideas! You're an all around great everything. Thanks from South Africa
MaCenna is always coming through with the videos. I look forward to your vlogs. This is one my favorite DIY channels.
Hi! The painting of the Castle is Burg Eltz in Germany ❤ I live a 4 hour drive from that castle 😊
MaCenna coming with the cute summer outfits, loving ❤❤ so excited for the vlog
Perfect timing! Thank you!❤
Your garden is so beautiful, Thank You for showing us how it is coming along!! Love your cabinet turn out so nice your dishes look real pretty. Kinsley is so cute!!!!
We need “a day in the life of Kinsley” lol.
I agree with this
Hi MaCenna, I’m loving this vlog!!!! I showed my husband just as you got in the car and he said “ what is she doing? Women don’t drive do they? “ wherever we go my hubby drives, from our home to Cornwall is about 8 hrs and he does it all. I have got fibromyalgia and get tired so quickly and can’t concentrate for long, he moans in a jokey way but really doesn’t mind.
I am excited to see the same love and interest you have for your garden in Cali, applied to your front yard in Texas.
Alyssum is more of a ground cover and looks nice with a pot assortment.
I totally know how you feel about your roses. I even walk the neighborhood Thanking God for his fun flower creations. LOL I sometime want to bring my trimmers with me to trim the neighbors roses when they don’t cut back there’s Hahahahaha. Then I say to myself get home and take care of yours Andrea ! 😂
I live for these garden tours
Never a dull moment with MaCenna in the house!
Mint choc chip & Rocky road are my favorite ice creams. And also corn ice cream with cinnamon. A must try if you are ever in PR 🇵🇷
I love you maccena. You're amazing and really talented. Living my dream fr ❤
aww thank you so much!
I look forward to these every week!!!
I truly love the way you feel over your garden, I'm a big flower person too so I'm the same way😊 we can never get enough of it!! My fav ice cream has always been butter pecan and then strawberry😋🍦 I also love a good gelato with caramel and chocolate🤤
Alyssums are one of my absolute favorite flowers. I placed mine on the edge of my flowerbed as a border and because they do grow somewhat fast I drape them over the side of my flowerbed they actually compliment my rose bushes and my fig tree beautifully. My favorite ice cream is English Toffee and Cookies and Cream. 🍨🍧
Have you ever thought of switching your Sunday and Tuesday content? Not only is it a little jarring,like “wait,we’ve already watched this!” but I kinda tuned out and read the comments for the first fifteen minutes. (I don’t need the details about the oven cleaner,because I already saw the entire project completed. Kind of anticlimactic.) I don’t mean to be picky,does anyone else feel the same or is it just me?
AMEN.. her videos are so backwards.. weird
I'm not Charles, and it seems this content stuff is cramping her style.
Oh well she did great, it's over.
Lots of other u tubers.
@@charlesknight4944 I don’t understand your comment but just think that it would make more sense if the videos were reversed,oh well.😔
why so critical guys? its summer
@@nonsense289 My comment was meant as a suggestion along with an explanation,not criticism.( It’s been a recurring confusion for months with the cottage every Sunday and Tuesday but I never said anything)😔
Love, love , watching your show you are so motivating.
It’s all so pretty!
This Sunday is a good flea. Can’t wait.
Yes very nice garden ❤ flowers and flowes😊
Pistachio almond is my favorite ice cream. Your garden is GORGE!!!🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Phlox is lovely and hardy and likes a fair amount of sun.
You find the greatest stuff!!!
i LOVE alyssum!! it smells like honey and grows back like a charm!!
Making my week better already! I always look forward to watch your videos with my boyfriend, you are always so motivating and inspiring ❤️
awww thank you so much!
Same! 😊
Yayyyy so happy when a new episode drops :D
I once unpacked that spring / summer party stuff and did least 3 parties a summer. Before packed for fall stuff.. Miss that.
That garden makes me want to have one so bad. Meanwhile Cookies and cream is my best ice cream flavour too. Your videos give me so much design inspo, my husband and I love you 😊. He said you have such a beautiful spirit.
Alyssum self seeds, can shake when flowering is finished where you want more or move smaller ones where you want more just make sure it has roots attached, my favorite as can get in white pink purple shades. 💜💖
Cookies over Texas from HEB (cookies and cream with chocolate chip cookie dough chunks) 😊😊 When you come back to Texas I recommend trying it, if you haven't already.
I love that Chesterfield couch.
I’ve learned so many flower names from you since you guys got the new house. I love it. 💚
Best start to my day, coffee and your upload. It's 6am here in South Australia 🇦🇺
Hi MaCenna! Hope you're having a good day!
Macenna, your cabinet looks lovely.
Your man painting looks like he could be a painter himself and would look fabulous on an easel.
I get a flat of alyssum, so I can have instant color. But the a get seed packets (if you want to save$) and they come in in a couple of weeks. Also they reseed themselves. Great plants and smell so good!
I LOVE the song that you have as an introduction to your vlog!
Dynamite Castle by Sebastian Forslund
Thanks for the indigo sunset 😊
Beautiful flowers, the cabinet looks Beautiful too!!! I think a couple of cookbooks on yop would look great. A scoop of Vanilla and a scoop of chocolate, is my jam.
Please look into the dangers of using easy off on wood!!! You really shouldn’t use oven cleaner on a porous surface like wood!
Thank you for bringing this up!!! This is NOT a safe way to strip furniture.
@@katedorman7042 yes! There are so many dangerous aspects to it. The awful chemicals being rinsed into the ground, the off gassing, because it opens the wood grain, fills it with chemicals, and then the wax encases those chemicals into the grain forever. Oven cleaner is truly nasty stuff!
PS Love the old man painting! Gorgeous!!!
And an immediate launch into an ad!
Great video again Love watching you and all ideas I get too 😊
Alyssum is really cute. We have it boarding our flower beds and it reseeds itself year after year.
Gold medal ribbon from Baskin Robins is my faaaaave!! 😋
Would love to hear more from you about how to develop your own creative voice / artistic perspective!! Especially as you are practicing in new artistic mediums beyond interiors/decor. Love your work ~ from a big fan in Maine :D
I love vanilla soft serve, mint chocolate chip, & rocky road
I always think you are beautiful but in this video you are just glowing and stunning! Summer glow ✨
I am not a portrait art person, but I totally agree. That is a really neat one!
Espresso ice cream, Starbucks did it 10 years ago. They also made coffee liqueur. Both amazing but short lived.
gardening tip: all plants will regrow from the point at which you cut it. trees, bushes, flowers, indoor plants. if you want to maintain the abundance of blooms on your roses, look to cut a stem where there is a leaf with five petals. i don't know why it works, but i come from a family of green-thumbs. your garden is incredible ~ (i'm a mint chip gal)
Nice job on cabinet. Beautiful.
Sweet Alyssum very cute flower. Very tolerant of heat also a cruciferous aka related to cabbage/ broccoli. EDIBLE
I was about the go to sleep, ( hello from İstanbul
Our flower sale season is over....can't believe the amount that u guys have out there!!
HAPPY TUESDAY MaCenna, Romeo, and Kinsley. Kinsley is all in her mom's business supervising...Cracking myself up! We love all fur babies in our family. STTB*Shared To The Burgh
We love our fur babies, too! Kinsley has enough personality to have her own channel, don’t you think?
I’m so excited I have a ladies trip next month and one of our stops is Fredericksburg flea market ❤
I am a passionate gardener here in my NC coastal garden. Alyssum does well here in spring but the heat and humidity of summer does them in. I follow a couple of California gardrners….Dig, Water, Repeat. She gardens in San Diego and her garden is beautiful.
Summer Livin'. IT'S SO FINE!!!❤🤗😁😎
For me it’s Talenti gelato: Pacific pistachio….always my favorite!!! Made with California pistachios 😍
Love the picture of the man. I would have bought the small ones too, I''m obsessed with portraits 🤎
