MACENNA 😍😍 it’s beautiful!! I definitely vote two chairs for the living room! It adds variety to the space and makes it feel more open to the beautiful French doors! 😍😍 I do have a suggestion! I really think instead of painting the brick I definitely think you should just over grout it. Use an off white colour to neutralize the red but keep the amazing brick texture since the whole wall is painted!
When you said “I was so nervous because I’ve never done it before” referring to the lime wash I was thinking “girl, look around you. You pretty much built your own house by yourself without ever having done it before, paint on a small patch of wall isn’t gonna take you down” 😂 Great job as always MaCenna!
Absolutely love how it turned out! Would a diy removable rolling bookshelf ladder be something you would incorporate into your home? The shelves just reminded me of a like cozy Victorian library nook sort of vibe and just thought it would be a fitting touch🤎

MaCenna, you have made the living room so beautiful! I think 2 chairs across from the sofa (like you have now) looks great! I can tell you like symmetry but I think adding another sofa will make it too matchy-matchy. Adding the 2 chairs still gives the room balance and makes it more interesting. I am so very impressed with all you’ve taught yourself and the love and hard work you’ve put into your home! You are a joy to watch!
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.
Agree with keeping 2 chairs. Buying another couch or even a love-seat will drastically cut your styling/seating options; I speak from my own experience! Also chairs will keep that current airy, spacious vibe, another couch would "cramp" the room and make the design appear stuffy. Finally, some of your guests may prefer a chair.
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 🤩🤩
Okay, first I want to agree with every encouraging and positive comment. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this series. It is so inspiring. And I want to add one teensy weensy suggestion. My husband is a finish carpenter and we sat and watched the reveal together, hitting pause and discussing. Maybe paint the crown at the top of the cabinets to match the crown above the walls. That way the cabinets look straight at the top rather than strangely curved. You have Grey Mist crown above the fireplace so I actually think it would look more complete that way. It is a little bit choppy now. So sorry to be that person nitpicking while you bust your hump. My only defense is that I'm a former copyeditor. 😉😆You and Romeo are awesome. Can't wait to see the big finish.
I watched this again and please keep the living room furniture as is! It's extremely important to think about Fire egress! The 2 chairs are placed and position PERFECTLY for fire safety and aesthetics.
Oh MaCenna, your living room is just lovely! Well done! I would love 2cozy overstuffed chair to complete the room because I love the look of the double door, especially the bottom and I wouldn’t like to block that view. Honestly can’t wait to see your choice!
Amazing work! I just love the color for the built in shelving. What if you continued that color around by painting your crown moulding the entire perimeter of the living room with that color? It's so beautiful! Now I'm looking around my house to see what I can paint with that color... hmm...❤😂
You are so smart! I love everything you have done! For future projects requiring darkening detail work you might want to try a product from DIY paint called "Dark and Decrepit Dust" you just powder it on basically. Much easier but what you did looks fabulous!
Oh gosh MaCenna, it is so beautiful and I really love the look of the fireplace and the shelves and cabinets below with those beautiful doors. Thanks again for sharing and I am really excited for the Christmas Vlogs. Have fun and stay safe, sending love and hugs, bye!! 💞💜💜
I wonder if any of the family members of the previous owner have watched these videos. I'm sure it would make their hearts happy to see the amount of love and detail you have poured into each and every room.
I’m so inspired following along on this ongoing transformation. You did that, girl! The one thing I would differently is paint the whole fireplace front and mantle surround the same color as the built in shelving. LOVE the understated drama that color brings to the space
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 ❤
MaCenna, what a transformation, it is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!!!!!!! It looks amazing, love the placement of the couch and chairs. I think you should stick to just 1 couch and a couple chairs, it may look to bulky with 2 couches. I like that you can see through the backs of the chairs, it has an openness about it. GREAT JOB, YOU'RE AMAZING!!! The house is looking so beautiful, you should be so proud of all your skills you have learned over the last year.
You’ve definitely improved your DIY skills with this beautiful home!! The attention to detail truly shows how motivated you are in making this home uniquely yours and I can’t wait to see how everything turns out in the end!! 💕💕❤
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.
I don’t think it’s realistic to ask her to do hour long videos here plus her vlog in addition to the work she’s doing on the house. Filming and editing videos is very time-consuming and the longer the video, the longer it takes to do those things. If you follow her vlog in addition to this channel, it gives you what you’re looking for!
I'm sure there are hours and hours of footage shot and of course it takes time to edit them down. Doubling the length of the video could potentially double the length of the time it takes to edit (which is always the longest most tedious part!). But I'd happily watch DIY shots go on for longer! Even just painting the room! This could be a lower effort/quick way of lengthening the videos. MaCenna's videos are so relaxing and inspiring to watch! I 100% agree that we will never get bored watching!
@Johanna Sarén MaCenna's videos are well-made. And I think it takes quite some time just to edit one. She also jumps from one project to another (depends on what life throws at her) so the files has to be organised first and put in their own respective folders before she can even make a single video. Unless she has 1 specific camera for 1 specific project and everything is shot continuously. Or if she hires a cameraperson/editor to help her. Anyway, she's been doing a spectacular job as a one-person creator (sometimes with the help of Romeo, Mom, Dad). I honestly think she shouldn't edit out as much details because she had worked looong days and weeks or even months on one single project. She should give herself a lot more credit. As her viewer, I'm already so grateful she's sharing it with the world to see and learn from.

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 was waiting for this video with pain inside 😂 Yesterday night I said to my husband that you haven't posted for a while and I was worried that sometimes would have happened and I was right (in some sort of way). LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE GIRL!! You are sssooo talented and such an inspiration for all of us especially when you share your feelings about your first times! Thanks Macenna! We love you a lot!
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!
Youre content is so much better than any mass produced home improvement show. So happy we get to see how much time and effort goes into this because it’s turning out stunning!
Very happy to hear you are doing vlogmas! My granddaughter watched one of your vlogs with me, shes 8.. and at Thanksgiving shes like, grma, I just watched Romeo's birthday vlog! Appreciate that you are showing the next generation that anyone can do whatever they set their minds to do and I promised her mom you keep things very PG❣ Appreciate that also!
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
Cannot express how excited I get when a new video comes out….. never been so interested to see someone’s home being renovated! I’m in awe of you Macenna! X
You say " we" a lot and I'm wondering who the mystery person is! It reminds me when I was a nurse...." we're going to have a bath now" Also! , two couches would be too crowded, it appears! Lots of hard work and detail... Good job!
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 :)
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 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
So wise to encase the floating shelves and create a more compatible built in bookcase with timeless appeal. Can’t imagine the final appraisal on all you’ve done to make this cottage come alive! Love it❤
Oh I have been checking KZclip multiple times a day the last week in anticipation for this makeover and as always you didn’t disappoint. I can see why it took a little while to load it, oh boy how much did you accomplish. I think you deserve to reward yourself and Romeo. Amazing living room, so cosy very “hygge”. Can’t wait for episode 4 with the Christmas decor. You have inspired me so much. I have began the design process of my flat makeover, lots to do before I start physically but love learning and gaining info and inspiration from you. You are amazing. ❤
I'm just catching up by binging all your latest episodes. HOLY COW!! Every part of this room by itself is flat out AMAZING! You are amazing, so fearless and willing to try new things and learn. Your patience with each process and attention to all the details result in as close to perfection as is possible with renovation. Just wow.
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…..
Seeing this room come to life has been epic - it's crazy how much height those bookshelves add to the wall and you continue to blow me away with how professionally done everything looks! Can't wait to see it all decorated!
I've honestly watched this video 5 times already and each time, it just gets more amazing!. Everything looks so gorgeous, so amazing, I love the colors, the fireplace, the mantle, the lights, I mean wow!!!. Looking forward to Vlogmas, cannot wait to see a video everyday of how the house is changing. I am so proud of you and inspired all at the same time lol. Tfs and GREAT JOB!
The chairs look great there! Definitely voting for the chairs to bring in little something somethinggg you know you love! Can’t wait to see what you end up doing either way! 🥰
Can't bloody wait for vlogmas !!! To decide on the couch, take a picture of the living room without the chairs, flip your couch where you want to maybe put a second one, take another picture and photoshop them together !! But i gotta say, i love the airiness of the chairs compared to another, boxier couch
I love the juxtaposition between everything being symmetrical and having the asymmetry with the couch on one side and the two chairs on the other!! It looks so good!!
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 😁
It looks freaking incredible and I literally couldn't see it until you bought it to life in front of me, like it's looks so good and I never would have thought of this!
This looks so beautiful i love coming along over the years with you on this journey and seeing your vision come into the spaces! Thank you for all your hard work with your videos!
Everything look soooo good! Can’t wait to see it decorated for Christmas😍🥰 feels like yesterday, December 1st wasn’t possible for last year and now look at you! 😍 it’s becoming everything and more!
The living room is already stunning!!! I am a crafter and I love giving things an old world look. Waverly Antiqueing Wax is in every crafter’s stash. It can be watered down to soften the color. It is sold at Walmart and it does an amazing job of getting in all the crevices like on your mantle. Very easy to use. I also love their white wax!
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 ❤
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!
Wooooooooow this looks amazing and so cozy! Love the layout with one couch and two chairs. The fireplace, the bookshelves and the lights are so symmetrical so I think a non symmetrical couch situation would brake it up a bit and make it even more interesting 😍
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!
Honestly haven’t been more excited for a video!!! ❤ You are too good Macenna ✨
If U, Lone Fox, said this, it is a huge compliment. It is indeed stunning
Drew - Need the cement treatment info!!!
it looks so amazing....Macenna is so talented.
MACENNA 😍😍 it’s beautiful!! I definitely vote two chairs for the living room! It adds variety to the space and makes it feel more open to the beautiful French doors! 😍😍 I do have a suggestion! I really think instead of painting the brick I definitely think you should just over grout it. Use an off white colour to neutralize the red but keep the amazing brick texture since the whole wall is painted!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL home.
the way that you are able to ✨transform✨ these rooms is incredible to watch!! that limewash color was the perfect touch too!
I've never seen KZclip comment!!!
Dang even KZclip commented on MaCennas video 👏🏼
@Brittany Male Child out girl, it's just a comment. The fact that you have a parasocial relationship doesn't concern me.
@The Dummkopf excellent work spelling "biased" there pal
Totally, not a buyest opinion at all. Right KZclip?
OBSESSED with how the limewash turned out omg ❤
Oh MaCenna, if a house could smile she’d be beaming from ear to ear. You’ve brought life to the old girl. 😊
Thank you so much!!!!
What a lovely comment 😍
When you said “I was so nervous because I’ve never done it before” referring to the lime wash I was thinking “girl, look around you. You pretty much built your own house by yourself without ever having done it before, paint on a small patch of wall isn’t gonna take you down” 😂
Great job as always MaCenna!
hahaha my thoughts exactly!!
Hahahahha 😂 you’re totally right!
Stunning ❤
Absolutely love how it turned out! Would a diy removable rolling bookshelf ladder be something you would incorporate into your home? The shelves just reminded me of a like cozy Victorian library nook sort of vibe and just thought it would be a fitting touch🤎

i'm actually so proud of this house journey haha kinda feels like my project... love u Macenna
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.
That’s totally my thinking too!
made an almost identical comment just now, totally agree. bumping this!
The chairs work because the arms aren’t solid, you want airy looking wood arms and no skirting.
@BarefootContessamessa Agree, would also cover too much of that beautiful lime wash.
Agree with keeping 2 chairs. Buying another couch or even a love-seat will drastically cut your styling/seating options; I speak from my own experience!
Also chairs will keep that current airy, spacious vibe, another couch would "cramp" the room and make the design appear stuffy.

Okay, first I want to agree with every encouraging and positive comment. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this series. It is so inspiring. And I want to add one teensy weensy suggestion. My husband is a finish carpenter and we sat and watched the reveal together, hitting pause and discussing. Maybe paint the crown at the top of the cabinets to match the crown above the walls. That way the cabinets look straight at the top rather than strangely curved. You have Grey Mist crown above the fireplace so I actually think it would look more complete that way. It is a little bit choppy now. So sorry to be that person nitpicking while you bust your hump. My only defense is that I'm a former copyeditor. 😉😆You and Romeo are awesome. Can't wait to see the big finish.
I came here to say the same thing. It’s the only thing that’s wrong to me. Otherwise it all looks great!
I agree! It’s the first thing I noticed, as well. I think it looks awkward to have that color break in the continuity of the crown molding.
I adore this progress. And like … you did that. You guys 🥹❤️ so truly remarkable
I watched this again and please keep the living room furniture as is! It's extremely important to think about Fire egress! The 2 chairs are placed and position PERFECTLY for fire safety and aesthetics.
The trim looks so much better than just floating shelves
Completely agree. The floating shelves didn’t go with so well with the style your going for. Seemed too modern.
Yes 100%
Totally right!!!!
i was so hoping she would change her mind 😂
The attention to detail😮 she’s soo talented
The best makeover to date. Love it!
Oh MaCenna, your living room is just lovely! Well done! I would love 2cozy overstuffed chair to complete the room because I love the look of the double door, especially the bottom and I wouldn’t like to block that view.
Honestly can’t wait to see your choice!
When I was reselling my home I used one of those stain paint pens to hide all the knicks in my white baseboards 🤫
Amazing work! I just love the color for the built in shelving. What if you continued that color around by painting your crown moulding the entire perimeter of the living room with that color? It's so beautiful! Now I'm looking around my house to see what I can paint with that color... hmm...❤😂
You are so smart! I love everything you have done! For future projects requiring darkening detail work you might want to try a product from DIY paint called "Dark and Decrepit Dust" you just powder it on basically. Much easier but what you did looks fabulous!
Oh gosh MaCenna, it is so beautiful and I really love the look of the fireplace and the shelves and cabinets below with those beautiful doors. Thanks again for sharing and I am really excited for the Christmas Vlogs. Have fun and stay safe, sending love and hugs, bye!! 💞💜💜
You seriously amaze me every time you work on something. 🤍
I wonder if any of the family members of the previous owner have watched these videos. I'm sure it would make their hearts happy to see the amount of love and detail you have poured into each and every room.
I’m so inspired following along on this ongoing transformation. You did that, girl! The one thing I would differently is paint the whole fireplace front and mantle surround the same color as the built in shelving. LOVE the understated drama that color brings to the space
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 ❤
You inspire me every day MaCenna, to push further with DIY!!
MaCenna, what a transformation, it is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!!!!!!!
It looks amazing, love the placement of the couch and chairs. I think you should stick to just 1 couch and a couple chairs, it may look to bulky with 2 couches. I like that you can see through the backs of the chairs, it has an openness about it.
GREAT JOB, YOU'RE AMAZING!!!
The house is looking so beautiful, you should be so proud of all your skills you have learned over the last year.
You’ve definitely improved your DIY skills with this beautiful home!! The attention to detail truly shows how motivated you are in making this home uniquely yours and I can’t wait to see how everything turns out in the end!! 💕💕❤
Thank you so much!!!
It looks great. I'm glad they kept the fireplace mantle.
Love love love. You are such a joy💕
Yes for identical couch would really round things out and lots of comfort.
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.

I think McKenna wants the living room to be Christmas ready, hence the need to get things done.
Maybe like 45 minute videos, I know she’s done live streams before. Plus vlogmas is coming up which will be nice
@Johanna Sarén MaCenna's videos are well-made. And I think it takes quite some time just to edit one. She also jumps from one project to another (depends on what life throws at her) so the files has to be organised first and put in their own respective folders before she can even make a single video.

Thank you so much!! ❤
I was waiting for this video with pain inside 😂 Yesterday night I said to my husband that you haven't posted for a while and I was worried that sometimes would have happened and I was right (in some sort of way).

Awww thank you so much!!! I now this episode took a while to come together!
Seriously incredible!!!
Been waiting on KZclip, starring at random stuff just waiting for this video to go live 😂❤️ You're doing incredibly well MaCenna!
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!
Same... I used the time to look up cake decorating vids lol
I’m a teacher so I got the notification at school that MaCenna uploaded and was like YAAAS can’t wait to go home!
Saaaaaame
thank you so much!!!
Youre content is so much better than any mass produced home improvement show. So happy we get to see how much time and effort goes into this because it’s turning out stunning!

@Sara W I am also 69, and I love watching what this girl is doing! So talented,
69 here and I am so inspired by Macenna.
This was an awesome episode. I absolutely love how the living room is turning out. Like Lone Fox said, you’re too good.
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
So wise to encase the floating shelves and create a more compatible built in bookcase with timeless appeal. Can’t imagine the final appraisal on all you’ve done to make this cottage come alive! Love it❤
would i need to poly top coat BM Advance on kitchen cabinets?
MaCenna, I love how supportive Romeo is. He was so cute when he was telling you how good you’ve gotten at crown molding. Looks beautiful. 🙏🏻💜
Omg, I love your thought process and how intentional you are about every detail. Your living room is amazing!
Oh I have been checking KZclip multiple times a day the last week in anticipation for this makeover and as always you didn’t disappoint. I can see why it took a little while to load it, oh boy how much did you accomplish. I think you deserve to reward yourself and Romeo. Amazing living room, so cosy very “hygge”.

I have began the design process of my flat makeover, lots to do before I start physically but love learning and gaining info and inspiration from you. You are amazing. ❤
Did you end up lime washing the sides of the fireplace?
I'm just catching up by binging all your latest episodes. HOLY COW!! Every part of this room by itself is flat out AMAZING! You are amazing, so fearless and willing to try new things and learn. Your patience with each process and attention to all the details result in as close to perfection as is possible with renovation. Just wow.
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…..
@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.
I’m younger than MaCenna, but it is so inspiring to watch her. I hope someday I have her skills.
I love the bookshelves! The second couch with the poof stools is what I envision for that space for sure!
Seeing this room come to life has been epic - it's crazy how much height those bookshelves add to the wall and you continue to blow me away with how professionally done everything looks! Can't wait to see it all decorated!
I've honestly watched this video 5 times already and each time, it just gets more amazing!. Everything looks so gorgeous, so amazing, I love the colors, the fireplace, the mantle, the lights, I mean wow!!!. Looking forward to Vlogmas, cannot wait to see a video everyday of how the house is changing. I am so proud of you and inspired all at the same time lol. Tfs and GREAT JOB!
The chairs look great there! Definitely voting for the chairs to bring in little something somethinggg you know you love! Can’t wait to see what you end up doing either way! 🥰
Can't bloody wait for vlogmas !!! To decide on the couch, take a picture of the living room without the chairs, flip your couch where you want to maybe put a second one, take another picture and photoshop them together !!
But i gotta say, i love the airiness of the chairs compared to another, boxier couch
👏 great idea!!
Brilliant!!
Great idea.
I love the color more and more every time. It has an olive tint that just looks so cool in the light! 🤗
You are something! Beautiful progress in that room!❤️
I love the juxtaposition between everything being symmetrical and having the asymmetry with the couch on one side and the two chairs on the other!! It looks so good!!
So I couldn’t imagine all the different elements flowing together on the fireplace, but I’m SPEECHLESS! It looks absolutely stunning 😍 ❤
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 😁
It looks freaking incredible and I literally couldn't see it until you bought it to life in front of me, like it's looks so good and I never would have thought of this!
This looks so beautiful i love coming along over the years with you on this journey and seeing your vision come into the spaces! Thank you for all your hard work with your videos!
I’m loving watching the progress, it’s beautiful. Cannot wait for the styling! 👍🏼😍
Everything look soooo good! Can’t wait to see it decorated for Christmas😍🥰 feels like yesterday, December 1st wasn’t possible for last year and now look at you! 😍 it’s becoming everything and more!
I'm completely in love with your new amazing living room! Can't wait to see the last episode about this room 😍
I love how this is looking. My two cents: I love the look of two sofas in front of a fireplace. I am so enjoying seeing you do so much for your home!
I love this! It's so satisfying seeing everything come together!
The living room is already stunning!!! I am a crafter and I love giving things an old world look. Waverly Antiqueing Wax is in every crafter’s stash. It can be watered down to soften the color. It is sold at Walmart and it does an amazing job of getting in all the crevices like on your mantle. Very easy to use. I also love their white wax!
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 literally felt so freakin proud of you when you showed the before and after 🥰 You are killing it!!
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 ❤
Oh MaCenna! I literally had tears spring to my eyes at your reveal! Your living room is stunning!
I’m loving it so far and can’t wait to see it completely done. Great job as always.
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!
STUNNING!!! Love how it’s coming together! ❤
Wooooooooow this looks amazing and so cozy! Love the layout with one couch and two chairs. The fireplace, the bookshelves and the lights are so symmetrical so I think a non symmetrical couch situation would brake it up a bit and make it even more interesting 😍
The living room look amazing , I love the fair places wall look gorgeous , I can wait for the final finish🥰
So beautiful!! I can’t wait to see when you finish decorating
ugh honestly I LOVE this transformation. so inspiring and creative. absolutely amazing. kudos to you!!
Oh Macenna it looks sooo good!! You've done an amazing job!! Can't wait to see it decorated for Christmas, I know its gonna be stunning!🎄🎄

Oh my gosh MaCenna…. The living room is beautiful! Good choice on the trim to make the shelves look built in. You’re so talented!
Love love love the shelves and lime wash and mantle! Cannot wait for the final look ❤
