    I think we all love that this series isn’t a quick over-produced show that has a secret team behind the scenes doing everything. This is amazing content and I’m so proud of you for going for you dreams!! I hope ALL young people watching remember that saving when you’re young is key to fulfilling your future dreams🥰

      Totally this! 💯 But there’s also a big part of me that kind of wishes MaCenna would hire an editor to help work on video production, especially when she’s so flat out working on renovations! Not because she isn’t doing an amazing job (or that I don’t love seeing how much she accomplishes by herself! 😍), but to give a bit of breathing room to focus on the things only she can do (though I can appreciate there must be an adjustment period for something like this, where it actually ends up being more work to be training someone up to work with you instead of just doing it yourself!). I feel so completely exhausted just sitting here watching and knowing how much work must go into everything, so for the 2p of this one random subscriber MaCenna, I hope you at least have this idea in the back of your mind as an option if it all gets to be too much, and that there’s absolutely no shame in delegating some tasks if you need to! ❤️

    Even though I'm sure your main thought creating this content isn't on being a role model, I would definitely consider you one. A seriously great role model for women to go after their dreams, work hard for them and not be afraid to take on things that aren't necessarily conventional for women.

    Awww my heart!! The end when you started tearing up...
    I bought my first house 7 years ago with my husband. We had a baby and a toddler at the time, and the house was built in 1947, Cape Cod style. It was a hodgepodge of materials and had no general direction, however, the moment we pulled up to see the house, I knew it would be ours. We have done so much to this house since, and you’re right about the learning curve. Anyway, the day we got the keys, I came to clean before we moved in our furniture and everything. As I was scrubbing the toilet, it hit me that this was MY toilet. I owned this toilet... holy moly we bought a HOUSE!
    So, I sat there crying over my new toilet in my new house, just grateful for everything we have in our life. It’s an amazing feeling, and I’m so excited for you guys to continue on your project and see it coming together ❤️

    This was such a nice way to start my day, thanks! As a daughter of someone who bought an apartment in a building from 1920 I can confirm: accommodating the needs of modern living and staying true to the original design (which we obviously want to do, we buy these old properties because we love vintage, after all) is a tough balancing act! I admit it pains me to see the foyer go, but I understand that you need to make your house functional. Who cares what others think - this is your house, all those criticising you won't be living there. I think you deserve a medal for trying to preserve as much of the original house as you can, many people in your position wouldn't have bothered and just knocked it down to build from scratch. Respect & good luck with the project!

    You American women are so hard working. We here in India get help for all such work, which I think we take for granted. Hats off to you women to do all this hard work and doing it smiling and happy.

    I keep wishing there was a fast forward button or like a series on Netflix where I can sit here all day and binge watch the “Comfort Cottage Renovation”! It’s so hard to wait and see what it’s all going to look like! We renovated our house here in Fl that was sitting empty for a couple years and it was done in about 6 months but it was nothing compared to your renovation! I feel all of your pain and your excitement! Can’t wait to see the end product! Also, can’t wait to see some more decor diys, I’m sure that will be coming as you move along on this journey! And 32?? Seriously??? Makes sense because your mom looks very young as well! Love your channel!

    I am so glad to see a strong woman who goes out and purchases her first home and then do all the demolition herself. I don't mind getting dirty and using tools myself, and I am definitely with you on that. I look forward every week to see the things that you have done to the cottage. I especially like the trips to all the stores and the fabulous pieces that you and your Mom come across. Keep being your creative and sweet self. I am on this journey right with you.😊

    This goes to show how important is a good upbringing, her parents obviously are hardworking people and she's been raised seeing them going after their goals, not just dreaming, and so she does the same. Also, how important it is to have some understanding about personal finances, investing wisely and all that stuff. I didn't have that example and so I'm 32 and just starting to get a grasp of this, while she is such a beautiful example for me. :) Thank you, Macenna! I'm rooting for you and this whole project, just like many of us here!

Most people wouldn’t do that. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I just bought my first home at 23 years old, so I have no clue what I am doing lol. Your videos give me so much inspiration and proof that I can make the home of my dreams too. ❤️❤️

    After renovating our own cottage that was built in 1846 here in England, its a joy to watch someone else doing it,and appreciate all the hard work your putting in.
    Think it will be helpful to tell people how much taps are/ radiators ect but don't feel you have to justify how much you want to pay for something you've worked had to have, as you deserve it.
    Sending love and encouragement ❤💕💗

    I’m here because I love this stuff too. We built a really nice gazebo in our back yard. We,be resided our house, built a barn shed with a loft, and remodeled the entire inside of this house. Our project this summer is the bathroom. Last room to be done.
    Because we live in the Pacific Northwest and we have massive amounts of rain, we poured a cement floor/ foundation for the barn. No floor to rot out and we did the same for the gazebo. Cement, hubby is a welder/ fabricator so he made the stamp for the patio and we acid stained it.
    Love this stuff

    Macenna, I swear you are me just like 10 yrs younger. I know I don’t know you so I hope it doesn’t come across creepy, but I’m proud of you!
    To tell you my story quickly I worked all through high school(actually around 10yrs I started stacking shelves at the corner store till I was legally aloud to work), just like you saving. My birthday money I would buy home wears for my house one day - I was 10! But I also started my first business very young - face painting a local markets. Then corporate work until I got sick and couldn’t hold a ‘proper’ job anymore so I created a job that suited me and found a niche in the market and created a ‘find a party boat service (Sydney Harbour 🇦🇺)... I got pregnant and couldn’t do that as I became more sick so sold it and then created another, till I physically couldn’t do that one and onwards to I’m at a point I can’t work, but moved and has connected me to a new dr whose making positive changes and I think I’ll start doing charity.. actually started already as I’m cleaning out my new house that has heaps of plants I can sell and propagate and the charity will help me and we’ll sell at markets.
    I LOVE up-cycling stuff, always been thrifty to a fault so enjoying that and being surrounded my nature in our new home.
    But if I hadn’t got sick... I think I’d be right where you are.
    SO I AM LIVING MY BEST VICARIOUS LIFE IN YOU JOURNEY!!
    Please show everything, the restoring, the finds, the thoughts everything.
    And know you’ve got someone on the other side of the world who wishes she was right next to you doing every task big and small with you. Go Girl !!
