Petition to have Romeo give MaCenna more thrifted clothes. It's only fair after all the hard work she's been doing at the house !!
I’m in you got my vote 🗳
Only fair!! Lol
You’ve got my vote too 😂
It's nice to share - I find the best thrifted band t-shirts and pass them on to my son-in- law.
My vote too!! 😂😂
If you ever decide to come back to the UK I would suggest visiting Scotland. Start with Edinburgh for historical things to visit, Glasgow for shopping and food, visiting the Highlands for the scenery and finish off on one of the Scottish Isles.
As a Scottish girl from Glasgow I recommend this ❤️
Londoner here! & you’re right it’s Angel like a winged angel. You definitely want to be near Portobello, it’s properly good, and also I really recommend Goldhawk Road if you want to get some fabric! If you want the proper UK thrift experience go into charity shops & also see if you can find a car boot sale- they’re usually on a Sunday morning, people just bring all the things they don’t need anymore! x
While in Europe, you shouldnt miss Prague. That place is stunning.
+1! I live in Europe and Prague is definitely the most beautiful city in Europe - makes you want to switch countries a little bit… Greece, Scandinavia and the Baltics are also a must if you want culture! ♥️
100% !!! i live like an hour away from Prague, lived there for a couple of months and i just love it there. Prague really is something! the architecture and everything. i don't kniw single person who doesnt love Prague 🧡
Great idea!!
As a Londoner - I would say to stay in the East London area Shoreditch (walking distance to Brick Lane, which is fully of vintage shops) and Spitalfields Market (open all week and have antiques on Thursday). Notting Hill (West London) is nice but not as cool as it used to be, but it's still pretty. East London is hipstery, West London is bougie, North London is ok, South London don't bother. London is easy to get around in because of the Tube (trains) so easy to visit every area. Every area has a great part to see.
Exactly what I was thinking, if you don’t want the fake bougie stuff go East London it’s a lot more fun. (Btw… they don’t do any busking in the US? Or you call it something else maybe?)
I agree, east London is way better than west London!
@@Junes.dreams.uk_ In the UK we call it "busking" in the US they may refer to it as "street performance".
So cool you guys are going on a tour through Europe, I live in Amsterdam where I am actually a tour guide, so if you feel like getting to know some history, architecture and fun facts about the city let me know. I am a big fan of your channel, which I have followed for quite some time, so it would be lovely to meet you!
big hugs, Raquel.
My favorite UA-camr!!! MaCenna is such a delight. And so is her Mom! If you’re not subscribed because you already have too many channels, this is one series you will not regret subscribing too. Trust me, this young lady is AMAZING. 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Notting Hill is super cute, I feel like you both would have so much fun in Shoreditch though. Vintage spots and antiques and I'm sure you can find a boutique hotel!
I thought the same thing, Shoreditch would be a great alternative or maybe even better because it is not as touristy in my opinion. I do most of my thrift and vintage shopping there.
Londoner here!! Yes Notting Hill is a great area for your stay. Chelsea and Kensington, Covent garden, Brick Lane too - lots to do and see. You'll have fun!! ❤
Hi Macenna. I know how comforting it is to have Kinsley ride in your lap but it is so dangerous. She would be seriously injured by the airbag if you were in an accident and it deployed. And I don't know if this is accurate but my understanding is that the airbag can deploy in an accident when your going only 30, or 35, miles per hour. My first dog, as an adult, rode on my left leg with her nose pressed against the window and I loved having her there. But when I got my second dog I did research on how to secure her in the car so if there is an accident she isn't injured by the airbag or by being catapulted out of the car or into the dash. We wear seatbelts so it only makes sense to secure our pets too. 💖
I came to express my concern as well. Thanks for your thoughtul comment.
Just a heads up when going to London. England has a requirement to fill out a ‘passenger locator form’. It will determine what precautions you will have to take upon entering the country, regarding wether or not you are fully vaccinated for example.
And you probably already know that travelling between European countries will mean a lot of different rules regarding quarantine and such 😅 I really hope things will be a lot easier once March comes around tho, wish you a wonderful trip
It is also worth noting that the countries making up the UK have different rules. Eg. You may be allowed to do something in London that is not permitted in Edinburgh. There are separate parliaments setting the rules.
A similar thing applies in other European countries, regions have separate rules to each other.
Exciting to know you’ll be in London! You and Romeo will definitely want to head to Brick Lane in East London for vintage shopping, and there’s also a great flea market every weekend at Vinegar Yard near London Bridge. But for proper ‘thrifting’ style shopping, we call them charity shops, which is where you’ll find cheaply priced second hand goods. Most local high streets in London have them (not really in the city centre though) so keep a look out! Fingers crossed your trip can go ahead. Love from London! 🇬🇧
Portobello road is definitely worth the trip! You'll find some really unique stuff but don't expect it to be cheap! As soon as the word antique or vintage is used the prices are JACKED up!!!
When in Paris, I suggest you to go for a walk along “les passages couvert de Paris”, which are 1800’s galleries...you’re going to love them!! ❤️❤️❤️
The happiness I feel when your video goes up is the highlight off week......I am so invested in this house!!!
Same same
Same!! 🥰
Same 😁
Me too!!!
I love you and Romeo's hand clapping so cute...Kinsley is adorable..can't wait till the cottage is all finished and you move in and do your diys and add your personal touches to the cottage..❤️
Right! MaCenna, you and Romeo are the cutest 🥲
You definitely want to visit Portobello Road! However, if your happy with simple, clean and cheap…there’s Bayswater Inn, roughly £55 to £65 per night within walking distance of Portobello Road…warning food in London is EXPENSIVE! Expect to pay £30 per person per meal, unless you do McDonalds or Burger King..St Paul’s is another good area…we stayed in a Youth Hostel right by the cathedral which surprisingly was clean and convenient..I recommend the Hare and Tortoise in Blackfriars Road, they serve Japanese style food that is fabulous..old Bailey is also in St Paul’s area..I live in Wales, stunningly beautiful land. When we first moved from Utah to Wales I was in absolute awe! I’ve never seen so many colours of green!
Just wanted to let you know every country in europe has its own covid rules and keeps changing them about every 2 weeks. So it's good that the travel company will keep updated about that stuff
Spending my lunch hour watching. In my head I’m saying, oooooooo It’s Tuesday! Eeeeek!
You guys are totally going to get engaged on this trip. Its going to be so romantic!!
That's what I was thinking! If they want to get married, which it sounds like their eventual goals...that would be so sweetA
I always am so grateful that in Europe we have the opportunity to explore so many different cultures making just a 1-3 hours ride to any direction really.
This year I am planning to visit the Naples area and later in summer Gdansk. Travelling around here I have made my happiest memories, hope you will too :)
Probably not on your itinerary but Hungary (Vac, Budapest) and Poland (Krakow) are really great for antiques.
MaCenna I highly recommend checking out Budapest, its 2hrs with car from Vienna. I think you would really like to architecture
Concerning your new allergy to Kilz primer: Isn't it an oil based paint? My coworker is highly allergic to oil based paint and if she smells it she will go into anaphylaxis shock. So it could be that you're allergic to oil based paints. You could experiment with a different oil based paint and see if you have the same reaction. Also, as an adult the more you're around what you're allergic to or newly allergic to the worse your reactions will get.
When you visit London, I think you would love Greenwich! There`s a "makers" market, where people sell their creative stuff, there are also vintage shops, plus food!! The area is also historic, lovely park, observatory etc, it`s my favourite place in London
I love how you are so determined and perseverance to achieve your dreams. No weather can stop you.
You should get a heater like the pros do so you can keep working in the cold. Our builder had a propane heater that they use when it was too cold
Omg when you go to Europe stop over at Malta!!! You will absolutely love all of our antiques!!!
Careful! If the air bag goes off from even a minor crash it will kill Kinsley. It will kill even a human if you’re close enough. I’m guilty of this too for convenience with my pup occasionally, but I just want us all to be aware :)
1. The “inaudible” puppy talk when you pick up Romeo is precious. ❤️
2. Sorry about the cold! We are shoveling out of about 11” of snow here in Ohio.
3. I think the “ what’s yours is mine “ rule applies to the thrifted clothes. 😁
A first-time commenter here :) I love both of your channels!
I used to live near Portobello Road in London and you made the right choice. It's such a cute area and is famous for its pastel-coloured homes and the market. You'll absolutely love it! There are some touristy shops along there but the majority are vintage or independent businesses. It's close to the tube station as well and on the central line which means you can get to Central London very easily. There are also some lovely parks just a short distance away from the area like Holland Park or Hyde Park
Behind the London eye near Waterloo is an underground all painted with Graffiti which is fabulous👍💗Borough Market is great also. Lots of great things to see.🤗🇨🇦🇬🇧
You and Romeo are a good team ,like you and your mom.progress,and more progress. Love ❤ it. Thank you 😊
Kinsley is the cutest dog I've ever seen!
London is amazing!! I would go back in a heartbeat.
Oxford uni is one of the most elite unis in the UK. Bless Romeo I love that!
Yay! Romeo's back! Love when you two are reunited. Also, sorry to hear you're allergic to something in the primer. Hope you figure out what it is your allergic too so that it doesn't hinder you in the future and you can avoid it when doing other projects.
Angel (pronounced just like the people with the halo) is located very close to Camden which has a very famous market of vintage and retro clothing - definitely worth a trip. Another market you will hear of is Covent Garden but it is very touristy (and expensive) and more oriented towards trinkets/tchotchkes, arts and crafts, and food, so possibly not what you will be interested in. Antiquing in London isn't great because the stores are quite small and they are very focused on true antiques, not thrift items - remember antique in the European sense is often much older than in US
You should visit Budapest, Hungary😍 the history and the city is amazing
It's a shame you don't have more time in the UK. The Lake District and Scotland are beautiful and give you a very different UK experience than what you'd get with a London city break.
When I was in London two years ago, we stayed in Shoreditch and I think you guys would LOVE it. Notting Hill is pretty and prim and clean, but Shoreditch is fun and trendy and multi-cultural. Highly recommend!
We live in The Netherlands, Amsterdam is amazing!!! You would love it! But any time we can, we go to London, is the most fantastic city! We stay in Islington, is quite affordable and really nice.
If you want to visit places like Paris and Vienna, you should definitely consider going to Ghent! :-) It's beautiful, yet not busy or touristy at all. A hidden gem of all cities in Europe.
When you’re in Holland (Amsterdam) around the end of March, I recommend visiting Keukenhof and the tulipfields around it. You can rent a bike and tour a little bit. I live nearby and lots of tourist do this!
Holiday inn, travel lodge, premier inn are all decent and very affordable to stay in uk plus most have places in the heart of towns. Premier inn have THE most comfortable beds ever lol. Carnaby street in London is great for vintage clothes. A must visit is Covent gardens and portobello markets you’ll find fab vintage items for your house..
Tip for Amsterdam (probably in the high-end though); hotel Jakarta. Also, there are a lot of vintage, second hand and small antique shops all throughout the city centre. You guys would love it!
Love it when you clap everytime you and Romeo see each other after a while haha so cute! now i'm really excited too for your Europe trip! haha is Kinsley coming with you? and omg that box is really full of good stuff! haha
So your channel is a family affair now. My dad, my son and all the dogs (with the cat) all stand around the tv and watch your videos. The house looks amazing. Can not wait to see when you start all the other diys.
That's so funny, love it.
I would be so happy if you did a meet and greet in the uk! 🤍
I live in the UK and my two favourite European cities are Venice and Dubrovnik, both stunning in their own way. However most European cities are now very expensive, especially eating out, so be prepared. When you said it was 28°, I thought wow that's hot, then I realised that you're in Fahrenheit and here we are in Centigrade. Hope your trip goes well, it should be amazing.xx
Look at you rockin that mitter saw like a boss at 17:40 ! You're so inspiring
That’s a drastic temperature change! Holy! Hope it warms up so you can finish everything off soon.
Oh MaCenna, y’all are going to love Europe! They are old retro and old style your going to love it! Now about the house………. You do know when it’s that’s cold you need to put your tools in the sun not the shade 😂😂😂 it will keep you warmer 😉😊
The word you’re looking for is *supplies* 😂😘
Kinsley looks so cute, she needs a little jacket ♥️ take care of you two, love to see when Romeo is with you ,
I did a similar tour of Europe like 5 years ago and loved it! Don't count out eastern Europe either. I highly recomment going to Gdansk, Poland. There's an incredible World War 2 museum if you like that stuff!
A trip to Europe sounds just wonderful! The windchill in Minneapolis is currently 7 below. Expected actual temperature tonight is 17 below, with a 32 below windchill. Hey, Romeo picked up a Minnesota Vikings sweatshirt!
"Expected actual temperature tonight is 17 below, with a 32 below windchill." 'Fond memories' of those days. As a former Minneapolitan for many decades, thank you for reminding me why I'm now in SoCal where today's high is looking to be mid 60s. MaCenna's temps would seem downright balmy to you. Stay warm!
Love to see other Minnesotans dreaming it was 27° outside! January is brutal in Minneapolis.
I’m in Fargo (from the Minneapolis area) so I feel your pain. It’s even colder here.
I love to travel and my advise to find where to stay in a new city is to pick the things you wanna see first. Pin them on a map and then find accommodation close to those things, then you won't spend heaps of time and money on travel to get to what you wanna see. I am in Hungary in the moment but we might pass each other in London depending when you arrive at the end of March!
I did a Contiki tour of the UK & Ireland when I was in my twenties. It was amazing!!! I highly recommend using them for trips. They take all the worry out of planning how to get from one place to another and where to stay when you get there. Don’t cheap out on the excursions they offer they’re fantastic! You guys will have an amazing time and hopefully we will get to see you trip in the Vlogs.
Tomorrow War is sooo good! Love Chris Pratt! Hope you guys are well! 💕
A tour of Europe!!! Nice!!! Please keep in mind that every country has its own travel regulations. And being in Europe, come to Athens, Greece... you wouldn't want to miss it!!! Much love!
Happy to see your progress. With Kilz primer they usually have latex. You might be allergic to latex.
I have an latex allergy and had to be extremely careful when using paint with latex.
The drive between Florence and Venice is amazingly breathtaking..stop off at San gimignano..Sienna, Piza...highly recommend..have been to all the countries you plan to..can offer suggestions..
i live in upstate NY and it was 28 degrees here today, the warmest it’s been in about a month, and it feels like summer! went out in sneakers and a light jacket today after being so used to single digit and negative temperatures for so long, so this was so funny to me..hoping texas warms up soon so you can get back to your renos!!
The winds are killer here in Texas! We’re big babies!
I live upstate too! I'm in elmira. it was -19 when I left my house the other day lol
@@patriciaumsted2253 The wind does make it worse.
I would die 😩
Los Angeles 👋 66° right now and I'm cold 😅
Lol yep -7 here today. She said 28 and I was like oooh that sounds awesome 😂
Visit Budapest, Hungary as well. It is magical!
You guys are so enjoyable to watch. I start watching and blink and its over. Welcome back Romeo.
Can you make your vlogs longer! I just can’t get enough of them ❤️
Hi I grew up in London. Angel is a good place to stay. There should be some charity shops there, as there isn’t any in central London. Angel has a local market and that was a typical London market growing up The Angel is a very vibrant place and full of trendy people. Look in the local paper for boot sales. This is where people sell their household stuff. Dress warm and take an umbrella 😂😂xx 🥰 Enjoy your trip x
You’re gonna love Europe! It’s gonna be very hard to pick favorite countries!! All are so beautiful
I love that thrifted pitching you have in your room and every time you have that in the background I m like so beautiful 😍
Yay!! Well came to Scotland I would love to have you for a cup of coffee Scotland is wonderful! I'm waiting for you 🏴!
Your attitude is priceless. Your skills are endless ❤️🔥🤍💜
Just an suggestion about about the allergic reaction to the paint, I’m allergic to latex in certain paints. My hands broke out in tiny bumps when I painted with it…so now I wear gloves ..🤷🏻♀️..who knew lol
You will love Notting Hill, and Portobello Rd is a must! I’m from the Uk and lived near London. Currently in the beautiful county of Derbyshire. Hope you really enjoy visiting my country even if just a short stop over. X
It's funny for what you say is cold, for me is a warm winter day. My oldest and I were playing outside for a little bit over the weekend and it was -20 out that day. For us that's just another day. Have fun on your trip!
Kensington is the best place to stay honestly it has a ton of places to check out and a great atmosphere. Ask Mr Carrington here on UA-cam where to find out where the best charity shops are.
That sky is fully sprayed! Explains the reason for the sudden cold!
MaCenna look into staying in Kensington or Knightsbridge when you come to London! It’s great for access on the tube to all the big tourist spots (Westminster, Big Ben, the London eye etc) and is the area where all the museums are (natural history museum, science museum, Victoria and Albert Museum and the design museum). There’s also Notting Hill which you would love, theres loads of cute coloured houses, a market and plenty of unique independent shops. It’s one of the nicer parts of London, avoid anything that’s on the outskirts of London if you can!
I posted too early! Just saw the bit when you talk about Notting Hill 😂
Ohh my gosh MaCenna, if you’re planning to film your Europe trip. PLEASE DO IT! I already miss your everyday vlogs during vlogmas huhu SENDING LOVE FROM THE PH 💕
27°F in North Dakota in January is a very nice warmup! It was -37° this morning, bringing my kids to school.
I live in the U.K. and did a road trip around Europe last year. It was such a fun trip. I’m hoping to do the US this year.
So glad Romeo is there to help you, you two are making a beautiful home!
4:43 This reaction is so priceless ❤️. I get excited for you too 👏
27 degrees one day, 80 the next. Sounds like Melbourne, Australia. Some wise person once said that Melbourne is the one place you can get frost bite on your sunburn. Sounds to me like you can too. 🇦🇺
Portobello Road would be absolutely perfect for you guys. It's not central but knowing you two & what you like to do Notting Hill/ Portobello is the place! Plus you can easily go central from there if you like.
KEEP The BARN! Garage for the car and work studio and maybe asanother follower suggested: your Poppy Shop!? (I know it's Pop Up but you're 1/2 Calfornian now!) You'll need staff to man the B&B cottages so they could run the retail too?
Glad to see your honey is there to stay for the long haul! Be safe, stay warm, be blessed! Prayers! Enjoy!♥️🙏✌️🌞💪
Travel is honestly so not tempting to me at the moment but I think that's because I have needed to travel with covid to my fiance and my latest trip has been an absolute mess. I'd recomment double triple quadruple checking all the covid mandates before the day of. The rules changed for me at midnight when I left so I ended up needing to fly back and do extra tests and fly back again. I am so glad I'll be moving here in the end of the year and I will go by damn ship from now on. (Finland - Sweden travel)
I totally feel the same, I don’t even feel tempted to book any vacations with the state of the world right now, Covid just feels like it has taken the fun out of everything and makes everything stressful with the unknown and closures etc. I’d be scared to waste money going somewhere only for everything to close down or whatever while I was there and have nothing to do 😩😕
For me, it’s the horror stories I hear of people getting sick once they arrive! One travel agent tested positive on her trip, got moved OUT of her oceanfront room and then stuck in a basement room for 10 days. 😵💫
Being from PA, you talking about the cold and your reaction to ice on your car is hilarious 😂 but that's crazy you guys went from 80 to 20 degrees overnight 😳 I'd cry 😭
13 years? ROMEO OH ROMEO it's time bruh you gotta get that ring for MaCenna!! 🥰 we wanna see a garden wedding at the new house🤭
One tip for travelling: always tell them in the notes of your booking if it's for your birthday or anniversary or some other special event because sometimes hotels will give you a free upgrade or leave a complementary bottle of wine, cake or snacks as a way to make it extra special for you ❤
You guys totally need to check out Camden while you’re in london. So many markets and vintage shops both indoor and outdoor. GREAT street food also!
I have reactions to that primer as well! Itchy red spots. I’ve heard it somewhat common for really strong products like that (oil based especially!) but I really like the product so I suit up like I’m working with insulation 😅 it helps to treat it like a biohazard hahaha.
Highly recommend airbnb for the UK and Italy. Have been using airbnb almost exclusively for travel in those countries since 2009 and never had a bad experience. Value for money definitely out strip's hotels unless you're plan on staying mostly in the high end/luxe end of the hotel spectrum. We did 3 weeks in september/October in Italy in 2019 from Piedmonte, through Tuscany, Rome and to Sicily and tried to keep the average cost pp per night around $60-70AUD or less. Stayed in some FABULOUS airbnbs (all own place, no sharing with host etc) that allowed us to experience smaller, local areas and villages in a more authentic way. Also vastly more affordable for major cities like Florence and Rome. We had out own stunning appartments/town houses with full kitchen etc in a great neighbourhood vs large hotels that are proximate to major transport hubs but all the restaurants, shops, experiences etc around are pricey and unremarkable.
I’m in Vienna - lots of countries also require you to have a fresh PCR test to enter. You can easily get them but might want to factor that into your budget!
It broke my heart a little when you said "That's old" and Romeo said it's from the 80's. LOL!! Born in 1978. I'm ancient!! :) PS - Kinsley looks adorable with her haircut.
I felt the exact same and I'm 1971 🤣🤣🤣
79 here.
I haven’t heard BUM in ages! Wow what a throwback
I love your little family. Such a cute puppy
How nice you visit Holland / Amsterdam i live near by Amsterdam in Alkmaar.. a half our away..thats a nice little town ,we always have a lot of tourist in the summer to see the beautiful little houses we have in the city 😉 i hope you have a wonderful time in Europe. The house look wonderful can’t wait when you have decorate it 🥰
You are going on the exact trip I did 20 years ago!! Lucerne was gorgeous!! The Rhine was amazing....I highly recommend rafting on the Tyrol if it's warm enough!! We did a tour also and it was 1000% the way to go, we made lots of friends and didn't have the pressure of planning but got to see alot!
Thank-you MaCenna!!! Your channel makes me so Happy!!! Love Vintage! ❤️ Antiques !!! Etc etc !!! ♥️
