I kind of love the one couch, two chairs look for the living room! There's already so much symmetry and I feel like some asymmetry really balances it out. It also makes a ton sense to have armchairs like it is now since it doesn't block access to that door.
My exact thought! It's already a smallish space and if she brings in another similar sized couch it would block the entry way. By having two small chars with similar looks to the temporary ones, it'll make the space look more open!
Agreed! It also makes the door to the porch feel more accessible, I think, which makes it feel more flowy. Absolutely love the look with the two chairs on that side!
I am a 75 year old grandma and love decorating but most of all watching the progress you have made in your home. You are so talented and I just love watching your videos. Love Ya
I wish once in a while you'd make an hour-ish video. 30mins-ish feels so quick to go by when it comes from you. Well done on everything, MaCenna. Edited: Now that I've watched the video, it did feel a big rush to put so many things in such a short duration. I know you have a strict timeline in what you do and are a perfectionist (as I am myself). I love that about you. Your work ethic is epic! Please try to slow down and enjoy the process more. Nevertheless, the results are unquestionably amazing and will always be, every single time. We're all proud of you. You will never ever bore your audiences with your personality, skills, brilliant ideas and so on. It's the details that matter, right? Please don't take this the wrong way, and thank you so much for sharing with us. You're a complete joy to our days and nights.
Oh yes. I don't want to put any additional pressure on you MaCenna, do whatever works for you! But I would definitely enjoy it if the videos were longer (and that does not mean more DIY needs to happen! I imagine there's a lot of content you edit out or that would be relatively easy to film, that many of us would actually enjoy, like a timelapse of that second set of shelves would've been a great addition!) But I think audiences can come across as demanding, and I just want to say I'm super thankful for all the content we get exactly as it is!
LOL I did the same thing ........I had to stop watching and then I over decorated my house for Christmas while waiting. LOL - I stepped back after the episode >.< took some down. No pressure though, don't tire yourself out! ....... This is good TV!
Gotta admit, got kinda teary watching this space come together at long last. I can only imagine how you must be feeling, accomplishing such a huge project to such a high standard. Congratulations on the excellent choices, too!
I admire how much vision, drive, willingness to learn and energy you have to tackle all of the renovations for this home! Everything you do looks lovely week after week, there’s just so much warmth and charm ❤
What is really amazing to me, is that when I was MaCenna’s age, I was so humble when renovators came to my home. They had amazing skills that really impressed me. And they did work in ways that were a mystery to me. And it was always men. And here is MaCenna, a self taught young woman knocking it out of the park every time…..
2:47 and there’s what makes her so amazing! I would have never had the idea to thicken those shelves, and when she showed the difference, it became so obvious to me. Looks so much nicer!
first of all my jaw DROPPED when you showed the final reveal of your pretty progress!!! OH MY GODDDD its gorgeous! As for the furniture, I think having a little asymmetry with the couch and two chairs gives just enough contrast to show how perfectly symmetrical everything is, while still giving visual interest :)
I HAVE NO WORDS HOW STUNNING THIS ROOM IS...... I'm truly speechless. You have such an eye for interior design never mind your creative skills in making all the built ins, fireplace, etc etc. What an inspiration. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏PS where do you get the energy??????? You are a super woman 😁
The limewash looks absolutely incredible!! I wasn’t sure about adding it to the range hood in the kitchen but I am all for it now, it looks so bomb. Glad you stuck to your gut feeling and made the floating shelves into built-ins, it is a much better match to the vibe of the living room. So so proud of you chicky
I have been watching the renovations since I was pregnant and my son is almost 2 years old!!! I can’t believe how amazing everything looks! I’m emotionally invested and feel like your casa is my casa 🥲🤍✨
You and Drew (Lone Fox) are my heroes! I just moved to a 1970's build with cedar wood plank and beam ceilings, and I am doing a bit of work to make it my style, and so by watching your videos I am inspired and learn so much.
Oh my gosh! I remember last year thinking you would be celebrating Christmas at the cottage! I remember the 2 guest houses were going to be built in the back while you celebrated in the cottage! It’s crazy how long renovations really take! But honestly, it was worth the wait! The cottage is turning out absolutely gorgeous and you really are a Jill of ALL trades!! 😍 Girl Power! 💥 💃🏻 Amazing work, MaCenna! (And Romeo, too!) 🥰
And you did it once again! You make a space feel so magical and unique. I can’t wait until it’s “completely” finished. Thank you also for all the work and quality content you put out. ❤
I love your style and I love your energy...also your mom , dog , and boyfriend are great! I am a furniture painter/refinisher and although the method you used to age the fireplace worked great, I think I have an easier way. Rub clear wax over the areas you want to age,( keeps the dark wax from staining the surface) followed by dark or black wax (apply liberally) then wipe off with a cloth. Any flat areas that you want to not look aged use a cloth with clear wax, this acts like an eraser. This method is fast and effective and probably less tedious than the stain pen. Excited for the living room finale. Thanks for the great content!
Omg this episode made me realize how much work you do!!! It's absolutely incredible... And I'm so happy to see every idea come to life!! I'm here since the beggining and I remember every sketch. Seeing those sketchs now being a real thing in the cottage is amazing!!
I can't explain HOW excited I am to see you decorate those shelves and see that Frame TV up on the wall!! It's really going to complete the room! (Heads up, Frame TVs are super duper discounted if anyone needed/wanted one)
I love the lime wash! It looks so velvety! The fireplace is absolutely gorgeous, McCenna! You have done an amazing job. And so quickly! It is stunning!
I actually cried watching this. I'm just so happy for you and Romeo. You guys are the bomb and deserve to have a beautiful living room for Christmas. God bless you both!
I got like, emotional with the before and afters 🥺I've been watching since you bought the house and This is just incredible to see how far you've come, looks so amazing!! 💞
Been waiting for these moments ever since you announced your offer for the house was accepted! Ca. 2 years later (i think) and it was all worth it, you are so amazing, through out the entire project! Showing how women can be creative AND handy too 💪🏼 amazing! 🥰
Eating chocolate cake watching MaCenna's videos IS the best way to end the day here in France !! Such a beautiful house so so so amazed by all the work you put out huge admiration!
Really loving the limewash between the gorgeous colored shelves! The trim is intricately beautiful, it ties up the room well! Can’t wait for the moment you furnish up the room 🤩🤩
Hi, I don’t know if you’re going to feel it’s too late for this but actually what’s perfect in my opinion for your mantle and the look you’re going for is to wax the whole thing with clear wax and then do some black wax on the areas you want to have that little darker, aged look. Now this is for people who like redo furniture, and to give it that vintage look. You put the clear wax which also seals and protects the wood, then you use the dark wax the black on there and brush it on a little bit. Then you wipe it off and by doing the clear wax underneath it makes it easy to remove any amount of the black you don’t want there are a lot of furniture artists/ furniture flipping channels that can help you with this, but like the best, but one of the very best is Kacha. I hope you check this out because seriously it’s easier than what you’re trying to do with the pan and it’s exactly going to get you the look you’re looking for I believe honestly. I really hope this helps. Good luck. 🌹
I personally love the couch with the 2 chairs, but I know whatever you do will be perfect! Your living room is simply stunning! Thank you for sharing this journey with us ❤
I have never been interested in subscribing to notifications until now (on any channel - ever) months into being obsessed with your home renovation. Love your work and love that you made it through all that insane floors/walls/everything far too real phase to finally arrive to the “pretty” phase. Truly inspiring!
So wonderful getting to watch you two put your gorgeous home together. This video was so satisfying...you two have done so much!!! Watching you and Romeo vibe is the sweetest. I'm totally addicted to this channel! So so so happy for you two.
I vote for one sofa and two chairs. I know you planned to put these chairs in your bedroom, but I really like them where they are now!! Excited to see the living room with the new rug and coffee table, too!
I love when creators PAY attention to detail it definitely shows in the project. Your video just popped up and I'm glad it did it's just what I love. The cabinet doors turned out so pretty!
What a gorgeous room, the fireplace looks so antique and it fits the room style so beautifully. I would do two chairs with your sofa because two sofas would most likely OVERTAKE the space. IMO. It is so wonderful when your vision comes to life!!!!
MaCenna, I've started watching you when you where doing Diys in your apartment, I've seen the whole process of this place. It's soo beautiful! Love your style and the fact that you tell us straight up , the time , trouble ,challenges every little remodel, or diy you do takes.
Seeing this intro , made me think , you should definitely put up a photo somewhere or just have a photo of your home before all the pretty things - just to look back at how far you’ve come - I know the videos can do the same , but it’s just something about an actual photo to hold onto ! I wish I did that before I started making over our home 😭 but anyways your home is coming out so good ! I’ve been waiting for this video to upload !!! 🙌🏻🥰
She could make a whole photo album with before and after photos, room by room. A great way to show people how much work she has done to transform the house from what it was to how it is once finished.
Handy tip for the DIY lime wash - you can get long mixer and bottle brush drill bits, and then use your power drill as a hand mixer to combine fluids and powders way faster than mixing by hand
2 couches and puffs!!! More of a seating and socializing area to me (homey and inviting.) I always love the look from the homeworthy episodes (the Austin/Texas ones specifically) with big couches and an ample amt of seating. Beautiful work as always!
personally i disagree, the room is not big enough for another couch (specially not another of the one she has, which is very deep and big) plus the room already looks too symmetrical.
Love, love, love what you have done here. What an inviting room. It really flows with the kitchen and hallway vestibule too. Like everyone else, I am in awe of your “can do” attitude and skills.
Yay! I love the look of the shelves being built in! Just gorgeous. What a moment that the beautiful mantle you found so long ago is now fixed in place - congratulations! It's all truly stunning! And congrats on conquering that tricky crown mould cornering - it was your achilles heel for the entire house reno. Usually I adore the symmetry of two sofas facing each other, but I think this particular sofa is more of a lounger, and it wouldn't make sense to have people lounging at each other instead of sitting upright and conversing. And it seems quite wide as well, it may take up too much real estate 💛🌙🌟✨
Another matching lounge, absolutely! Will look so rich and balance the room. Your work of cabinets is truly something to be proud of. My favourite is the hearthstone, beautiful. 😍 From Australia
MaCenna, honey it’s absolutely beautiful. I love the layout much better. The couch seemed to stop you as soon as one walked in. It stopped the flow! I like the 2 chairs better than another couch. I cannot wait to see the rug and coffee table. The mood is perfect. Love love it all!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This all looks awesome! I love it all. You are beyond talented. I like sofa with two chairs idea. And then curtains hung up by ceiling. I look so forward to your videos! They are the highlight of my day! I feel like you, mom and Romeo are family! ❤️❤️❤️
This comment comes to you even before I watch the video. You are like my mid morning coffee date. The excitement I have to see your journey speaks volumes about the commendable work you do and the endearing personality you have.
You work so hard! Everything is looking amazing. I can not believe you manage to put this type of content out so regularly. What a special house this will be.
Yaaay so exciting!!! It's looking so beautiful!!! I think that a couch and two chairs will be very nice and create a nice flow towards the doors to the left of the fireplace.
Ohhhh my goodness.....I LOVE what you have done! One of my favorite videos yet!!! WoW! I love more of the built in bookshelves plus that lime wash made it gorgeous. SO with the style of the older house. So rich looking! SOooo much character. And the little detail of the stain pen. Just perfect! You go girl! 😍❤️ Can't wait for each diy video!!!
Omgosh, it's beautiful. I knew the couch would look better that way! I luv the couch and chairs but double couches would look nice too. Can't wait to see the tree!!!
Wow! I have enjoyed every video of the renovations, only gets better! The space looks amazing, l think should get two couches and poof seats. Unbelievable how much you have done.....and Romeo being so supportive! You inspire me
Oh my gosh!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ It all looks so perfect! Your amazing. It’s magazine picture perfect. The furniture layout is so pleasing to the eye emphasizing the fireplace. I especially like that you added the wood on the sides of the shelves to make them look built in! Great work!
Honestly haven’t been more excited for a video!!! ❤ You are too good Macenna ✨
AHHHH i miss you!!!
Aw. I love this DIY community!
So beautiful… we missed seeing you over the Thanksgiving holiday. Glad you had time to enjoy with your family. The room is looking soooo good!🌸💕🌸
I started watching Macenna after meeting her on Lone Fox where you referenced some of her projects. Nice to see your friendship.
🤎🤎🤎
I kind of love the one couch, two chairs look for the living room! There's already so much symmetry and I feel like some asymmetry really balances it out. It also makes a ton sense to have armchairs like it is now since it doesn't block access to that door.
Exactly what I was thinking! 😉
My exact thought! It's already a smallish space and if she brings in another similar sized couch it would block the entry way. By having two small chars with similar looks to the temporary ones, it'll make the space look more open!
100% agree
Chairs 100%. And didn’t Mama get 2 thrifted chairs with little wheels for this living-room like forever ago? 😍
Agreed!
It also makes the door to the porch feel more accessible, I think, which makes it feel more flowy. Absolutely love the look with the two chairs on that side!
I am a 75 year old grandma and love decorating but most of all watching the progress you have made in your home. You are so talented and I just love watching your videos. Love Ya
69 here and I am so inspired by Macenna.
@@saraw8503 I am also 69, and I love watching what this girl is doing! So talented,
I wish once in a while you'd make an hour-ish video. 30mins-ish feels so quick to go by when it comes from you. Well done on everything, MaCenna.

I was thinking the same, hour ones would be so much better.
Agree 👍🏻
I was just thinking exactly the same! There is so much happening. 🤩
Oh yes. I don't want to put any additional pressure on you MaCenna, do whatever works for you!

I totally agree!!
Been waiting on UA-cam, starring at random stuff just waiting for this video to go live 😂❤️ You're doing incredibly well MaCenna!
thank you so much!!!
Saaaaaame
I’m a teacher so I got the notification at school that MaCenna uploaded and was like YAAAS can’t wait to go home!
Same... I used the time to look up cake decorating vids lol
LOL I did the same thing ........I had to stop watching and then I over decorated my house for Christmas while waiting. LOL - I stepped back after the episode >.< took some down. No pressure though, don't tire yourself out! ....... This is good TV!
I love the bookshelves! The second couch with the poof stools is what I envision for that space for sure!
Gotta admit, got kinda teary watching this space come together at long last. I can only imagine how you must be feeling, accomplishing such a huge project to such a high standard. Congratulations on the excellent choices, too!
I admire how much vision, drive, willingness to learn and energy you have to tackle all of the renovations for this home! Everything you do looks lovely week after week, there’s just so much warmth and charm ❤

I’m younger than MaCenna, but it is so inspiring to watch her. I hope someday I have her skills.
@A I'm much older, and I'm truly amazed at how much she's done on her own and with the help of Romeo.
My jaw DROPPED with the before and after! Absolutely stunning.
2:47 and there’s what makes her so amazing! I would have never had the idea to thicken those shelves, and when she showed the difference, it became so obvious to me. Looks so much nicer!
I agree and it would be such a cute idea for her Mom to do a tiny painting of Kinsley to,add to the bookshelf!
first of all my jaw DROPPED when you showed the final reveal of your pretty progress!!! OH MY GODDDD its gorgeous! As for the furniture, I think having a little asymmetry with the couch and two chairs gives just enough contrast to show how perfectly symmetrical everything is, while still giving visual interest :)

Glad you stuck to your gut feeling and made the floating shelves into built-ins, it is a much better match to the vibe of the living room. So so proud of you chicky
I love that trick to turn the floating shelves into more of a built-in look!
I have been watching the renovations since I was pregnant and my son is almost 2 years old!!! I can’t believe how amazing everything looks! I’m emotionally invested and feel like your casa is my casa 🥲🤍✨
I’m so happy you changed them from floating shelves for the built in look! Looks way better in your space!!!!
I'm so glad you went for the built-in look, your living room is way too classy for the floating shelves look ^^ Love it!
You and Drew (Lone Fox) are my heroes! I just moved to a 1970's build with cedar wood plank and beam ceilings, and I am doing a bit of work to make it my style, and so by watching your videos I am inspired and learn so much.
It’s crazy impressive how much work you’ve done almost by yourself. And it’s all so beautiful 😍
Oh my gosh! I remember last year thinking you would be celebrating Christmas at the cottage! I remember the 2 guest houses were going to be built in the back while you celebrated in the cottage!

That reveal was so beautiful that it almost made me cry. I have loved watching every step of your new home it's so beautiful!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!! So excited 🫶🏼
Big rug and absolutely another couch with 2 poufs would look stunning in the space. Well done girl 🙌👏
I can't explain HOW excited I am to see you decorate those shelves and see that Frame TV up on the wall!! It's really going to complete the room! (Heads up, Frame TVs are super duper discounted if anyone needed/wanted one)
I love the lime wash! It looks so velvety! The fireplace is absolutely gorgeous, McCenna! You have done an amazing job. And so quickly! It is stunning!
The video i needed to start this week 😍😍😍 Macenna's sweater with the sheeps, I can't help it 😍😍😍😍😍 So cute 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I know it is adorable.
MaCenna I can't find a word that adequately describes how beautiful this cottage is. I just love everything you and Romeo have done. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Thank you!
I actually cried watching this. I'm just so happy for you and Romeo. You guys are the bomb and deserve to have a beautiful living room for Christmas. God bless you both!
Yes! Another couch, please! And this layout is so much better!!
I got like, emotional with the before and afters 🥺I've been watching since you bought the house and This is just incredible to see how far you've come, looks so amazing!! 💞
I’m literally blown away at how you do everything and tie it together!!! I might just copy all your ideas and colors for my future home!
Honestly? I think the chairs that you have for your bedroom fit perfectly in your living room - LOVE that layout :)❤
Been waiting for these moments ever since you announced your offer for the house was accepted! Ca. 2 years later (i think) and it was all worth it, you are so amazing, through out the entire project! Showing how women can be creative AND handy too 💪🏼 amazing! 🥰
I love two couches, his and hers leather recliners, and the two poof ottomans in front of the fireplace. Reminds me of an Old English cottage.
Eating chocolate cake watching MaCenna's videos IS the best way to end the day here in France !! Such a beautiful house so so so amazed by all the work you put out huge admiration!
Eating chocolate cake in France - you've officially made me jealous 😂 hope you enjoy every moment of it.
Really loving the limewash between the gorgeous colored shelves! The trim is intricately beautiful, it ties up the room well! Can’t wait for the moment you furnish up the room 🤩🤩

I was going to suggest applying a wax to it too to give it an aged look. So much easier than using a pen.
I agree, the wax method would save so much time and effort, and give a great vintage effect. Definitely the way to go.
I personally love the couch with the 2 chairs, but I know whatever you do will be perfect! Your living room is simply stunning! Thank you for sharing this journey with us ❤

2 couches and 2 chairs and leave the brick red, looks beautiful. Btw, your skills are off the chart! Looking amazing! 👏 👏 👏 👏
So glad you did the built in look and those light fixtures are the cherry on top!
So wonderful getting to watch you two put your gorgeous home together. This video was so satisfying...you two have done so much!!! Watching you and Romeo vibe is the sweetest. I'm totally addicted to this channel! So so so happy for you two.
Oh MaCenna! I literally had tears spring to my eyes at your reveal! Your living room is stunning!
This was an awesome episode. I absolutely love how the living room is turning out. Like Lone Fox said, you’re too good.
My shock at 15:26 when you open a can of black paint over the beautiful brick!! 🫣 Final result looks great!
GIRL I know we have all been waiting so patiently for this video, so excited for your living room and CANNOT WAIT for all the vlogmas content 🤗🤗
I vote for one sofa and two chairs. I know you planned to put these chairs in your bedroom, but I really like them where they are now!!
Excited to see the living room with the new rug and coffee table, too!
I love when creators PAY attention to detail it definitely shows in the project. Your video just popped up and I'm glad it did it's just what I love. The cabinet doors turned out so pretty!

I am in AWE of your accomplishment. CONGRATS MACENNA AT THIS MASTERPIECE OF A LIVING ROOM!!!!!! Can't wait to see all the finishing touches
MaCenna, I've started watching you when you where doing Diys in your apartment, I've seen the whole process of this place. It's soo beautiful! Love your style and the fact that you tell us straight up , the time , trouble ,challenges every little remodel, or diy you do takes.

I love this livingroom layout! Having chairs by those doors rather than a couch would give a better flow
2 couches and puffs!!! More of a seating and socializing area to me (homey and inviting.) I always love the look from the homeworthy episodes (the Austin/Texas ones specifically) with big couches and an ample amt of seating. Beautiful work as always!

Another matching lounge, absolutely! Will look so rich and balance the room. Your work of cabinets is truly something to be proud of. My favourite is the hearthstone, beautiful. 😍 From Australia
Absolutely gorgeous! This living room is going to be magazine worthy. You are so skilled and creative. My vote is for the chairs.❤
MaCenna, honey it’s absolutely beautiful. I love the layout much better. The couch seemed to stop you as soon as one walked in. It stopped the flow! I like the 2 chairs better than another couch. I cannot wait to see the rug and coffee table. The mood is perfect. Love love it all!!! ❤️❤️❤️
MaCenna, the living room is looking so good. It's elegant and cozy! Your skills amaze me.
Macenna, your talent and hard work are paying off before our eyes!
Live the cabinet color and how it changes from greenish blue to grey with the different light. Beautiful job!
This all looks awesome! I love it all. You are beyond talented. I like sofa with two chairs idea. And then curtains hung up by ceiling. I look so forward to your videos! They are the highlight of my day! I feel like you, mom and Romeo are family! ❤️❤️❤️
I think the more built in look was the right choice! Looks amazing!
I am obsessed with this livingroom transformation
This comment comes to you even before I watch the video. You are like my mid morning coffee date. The excitement I have to see your journey speaks volumes about the commendable work you do and the endearing personality you have.
Absolutely love her everything is coming together. I also kind of like the movement of the furniture you guys rock.
Macenna , you floor me with your abilities! Everything looks soooo amazing! I'm beyond impressed.
Everything is beautiful, I really love that you painted it black around the fireplace,great job!
I hope you are proud of the awesome skills you have gained over the past few years. I vote for an identical sofa, just because I like that look.
So I couldn’t imagine all the different elements flowing together on the fireplace, but I’m SPEECHLESS! It looks absolutely stunning 😍 ❤
You work so hard! Everything is looking amazing. I can not believe you manage to put this type of content out so regularly. What a special house this will be.
Your fireplace and cabinet/shelving are really beautiful. The lime wash looks great!!
Yaaay so exciting!!! It's looking so beautiful!!! I think that a couch and two chairs will be very nice and create a nice flow towards the doors to the left of the fireplace.
i LOVE the couch on the side kind of lopsided/purposefully asymmetrical look of couch and two chairs.
Ohhhh my goodness.....I LOVE what you have done! One of my favorite videos yet!!! WoW! I love more of the built in bookshelves plus that lime wash made it gorgeous. SO with the style of the older house. So rich looking! SOooo much character. And the little detail of the stain pen. Just perfect! You go girl! 😍❤️ Can't wait for each diy video!!!
The living room is looking so good! I love the fireplace and built ins.
Omgosh, it's beautiful. I knew the couch would look better that way! I luv the couch and chairs but double couches would look nice too. Can't wait to see the tree!!!
Wow, the living room is looking amazing already and it's not complete. You are like Wonder Woman with Tools💃🔨🪚🪛😍
Love the built in look better than the floating shelf. Your home is coming along so beautifully. Your so talented!

WOW! Beyond expectations! Simply stunning! I can't wait to see it finished and decorated!
Oh my gosh!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ It all looks so perfect! Your amazing. It’s magazine picture perfect. The furniture layout is so pleasing to the eye emphasizing the fireplace. I especially like that you added the wood on the sides of the shelves to make them look built in! Great work!
