The kitchen videos leaves me feeling so much respect for everyone working on it. They’re paying so much attention to details and are so knowledgeable about their craft. So nice to see and learn from!
I wish there were more videos to highlight these skills. I think a lot of people would be drawn to this type of craft rather than white collar stuff. I know I find the cubical scene soul draining. But we really only promote those types of jobs.
My partner is a fabricator and ohh the amount of stories he tells me everynight of the different projects they make and how they do it is so imteresting!! I showed him this video and the one where MaCenna was picking stones and he got excited watching it!! Not all vlogs show the process and he loved this one explaining to me every step 😂
Watching the man doing the painting and finishes tugs on my heart because my daddy was a third-generation residential painter and specialized in the fine finishes. He left school in the 8th grade and had his own business run continuously from age 35 until he retired at age 70.
MaCenna, thank you for showcasing the talent and craftsmanship of all the contractors! Also thanks to the contractors who allowed you to film them and be apart of these videos. It made what was already a cool project to witness even better to see the mutual respect. ❤
Amazing craftsmanship and it’s great to see how each of the different craft personnel ‘get’ your vision and find ways to make it happen. A very respectful engagement by both sides and it’s no wonder the results are jaw dropping! So many different skills on show throughout this kitchen renovation - not leastMacenna’s every growing list of talents ❤ ❤❤
I love a beveled edge on stone and I know it’s not popular to do it right now because it’s not as modern and “clean”, but man, I love interest and I think it’s beautiful. Your kitchen will be a showstopper. So in love already.
Sooooo beautiful! I feel like I'm in Paris! You are so talented with your design eye. Love seeing you with little Cade. My boys have C names and two of my grandkids have C names. 🥰
Macenna, thank you so much for getting me through a lot of stages in my life during covid, my dad's passing, getting my architect's license after college, my 2023 abrupt career shift through your vlogs and podcast! I think I resonate and relate so much with you because we share a birthday! Lol idk how that relates but my boyfriend thinks it's because of that! I started watching you in 2020 when I thrived in isolation and did my personal renovations, but I binge "listened" to you during my 2023 career crisis. I'm an architect now in the Philippines but I quit my job because I was so miserable working in the government! I was able to save up 2 yrs of money but omg I was so anxious seeing it go down during the time I was figuring out if I wanted this profession or do business-which didn't go well. But, I discovered your podcast in Nov 2023 and your story WAS ALMOST SIMILAR to mine and it gave me hope during the time in between when I took a leap of faith. I am now in a very flexible job in sustainability doing huge impact projects for my country, while it gives me time to focus on my health and being an artist, developing my Filipiniana (Filipino) design style. I literally became happy on purpose by the time I turned 25 because I saw it was possible with what you did with your life. I know people say their favorite big artists "save" their lives, but not only you, but the entire community of kind-hearted and creative people you built inspired me so much to save mine.
wow your comment literally brought me to tears! thank you so much and your are so right we are so similar and have walked such a similar path in like! & we have the same birthday!!! crazy! That makes me so happy that you are doing something that you love and that feeds your sole! you are so brave for taking that leap of faith and betting on yourself! You made my day! thank you so much!
What an inspiring story about your life. I love that you not only rescued yourself but you are also saving your country by working on sustainability. Well done!
Please thank your contractors for letting your viewers a special viewing of them creating your wonderful kitchen . Their workmanship and care was right on.
Just letting you know, listening to the commentary from your workers, they're as excited and dedicated as you. You're in good hands! Its refreshing to hear spanish in the background of the process :)
I am from Costa Rica, Spanish speaker of course 😅 and thought and felt the same. It made me think of how talented Latin American people are and how much of their work and talent goes to so many houses and places around the world and specially in the United States. It made me feel proud of being LATIN but also happy to know that the TH-camrs I follow like MaCenna appreciate this too and show this to the world. SO NICE ❤
All the tradesmen must really love being able to talk to a client that understands the process. Less chance of confusion and errors. Did they realize that this job would make them famous? They are really good sports to let us see behind the scenes. It is going to be spectacular.❤
I personally liked the cabinets before they were stained, there is something very pretty when you see natural wood. It will be very intersting if you can share the rough price on this project.
Your kitchen palette is the colour of you from the neck up. The cabinets are brown like your hair, the hood is blue like your eyes and the walls are creamy white like your skin. Your kitchen is literally YOU! 😆 I am so excited for you, it is all coming together and I have to say those guys are so good at what they do!!! Amazing.
The curve you placed on the backsplash, softens and enhances the look so much. If you had done a straight line, it would have been an injustice to the beautiful curves on your custom designed hood. To have that curve repeated behind the sink gives the look continuity to both sides of the room so that our eyes flow so smoothly from one area to the other. You are right, you were blessed to have that extra stone to give you that upgraded beautifully done work. Your finish gentleman did such an excellent job creating just the right tone on the wood for you. I imagine anyone in your area is fighting to contract the companies that worked with you. My family, my husband and I are all in custom construction. We believe that our job is to create the client’s dream. it is never r the easiest or fasted way to finish a job but so satisfying to see the client light up with joy to have their hopes and dream move from their mind and appear in their home!
The man in the red hat laughing in joy after seeing that perfect fit made me kick my feet in the air, it was so cute seeing him be so proud of their work
The attention to detail your tradesmen have poured into this project, is just spectacular to watch. They are truly skilled at their craft. So thankful they’ve been okay with allowing you to film the process and give us a peek behind the scenes. The contractor in the red hat’s pure excitement when the stone backsplash went in perfectly over the oven made me smile. You can tell these men take so much pride in their work and delivering a finished product the homeowners can be beyond thrilled with. Everything is coming along so beautifully. The stone on the wall above the oven was an excellent design choice and the detail of the curve and bevel…perfection!
I loved the French Toile. The Blue Spring reads with more of a green undertone to me personally. But overall, looks lovely! That walnut wood is stunning raw and stained 😍.
I think it needed a little green though to harmonise with the warmth in the stone. The french toile was super pretty but, the colour she picked let's the stone shine
Love the cabinet color! It's so nice to see someone stain cabinets again. Especially a dark stain. I also love the countertops. They are beautiful. I like the choice of blue for the hood, just not the shade. I feel like it's too cool compared to the rest of the finishes. It's almost as if you were nervous about giving it real color. Don't get me wrong. I love what you've done. Just wanted to give you my honest opinion about the hood.
You can tell the contractors are putting so much love in this project. I think it also helps that you’re so passionate about the craft and it’s a mutual appreciation from both parties for the process and final product.
"All the pretty things" time! Thank you for featuring the very skilled tradesmen (and women) during this entire renovation. They don't get enough credit in my opinion. These skills takes years to learn and I can see how proud they are that you appreciate their work so much. I also think because you have done a lot of this type of work yourself before, and you can relate to what they're saying, it's almost like they want to go the extra mile to impress you and show just how good they are at what they do. Kudos to them, and you for your great design plan. It looks so beautiful!
I honestly love seeing these people get to work. So many people shit on them and physical labor in general but i think its amazing. Its a beautiful craft and physical labor or respectable af
I get a total dopamine rush temporarily living life through this icon of creativity and good taste. Pretty sure everyone's with me-likes hit 300 when I started watching, and they're up to 1.2 k now!
You’re better than HGTV! My absolute favorite TH-camr! I love your channel and can hardly wait for the next video each week. The kitchen looks so beautiful already.
please dont! please let her be herself, do thing as she wishes and not need to fit to all tv standards! lets keep her as treasure not mass produced entertainment
That contractor and his team, are just first class, they are excellent at what they do. you can tell they take pride in their work and only have the best interests of their clients. Drew knew what he was talking about when he recommended them. It is lovely to hear them get the credit they deserve. Xx
The care these hard working craftsmen took with your renovation is just wonderful. And I think it's great how you have highlighted all their beautiful work.
I love how you've been documenting the work and collaboration between you and the contractors, it's so wholesome and it just makes me happy seeing all of this come together
I love the French Toile, I love that it's a little closer to the cornflower/dusty blue tone. I also love, love the beveled, curved edges on the stonework. I think it makes it so much more interesting and less modern.
There is something so pleasing, inspiring and wonderful in watching people do a job really well. I may have fallen a little bit in love with all the tradesmen that made this kitchen come together.
Wowsers! The guys have been awesome to watch, their level of professionalism and the pride they take in their work is amazing. The squeal of delight was the cherry on the top. I’m so glad for you all! 😊
I am so glad that you are promoting your contractor and the finisher but I also hope you promote your stone people and those that cut them and placed them. Everyone that is there helping you in your kitchen is top notch!!! I have been waiting for this video but now I have to wait two more weeks for the next update I am going to go bonkers lol. I am excited for when all the doors and appliances are in and then you get to the staging part with all that you have collected and placed them where you want them to go!
I think my favorite part of all of this process is seeing you interact with your contractors and craftsmen. They're all so bloody talented and it's so interesting to get to see parts of the jobs we usually don't get to see. Everything is looking wonderful. Love that you went with interesting/curved edges on your stone, absolutely stunning.
Such a beautiful kitchen! I just wanted to say that I love the way you're showing us the level of craftmanship all the people involved is putting in their job, just thank you for sharing 💜
The cabinets, countertops and backsplash are stunning! I think I may have gone with the French Toile on the hood but will wait and see what MaCenna does to pull this all together with her other decorating choices. In these videos the the paint is barely noticeable.
I love how you can tell that the contractors are happy to work with you. So many aren't treated respectfully and are probably made to feel a little uncomfortable chatting with home owners. I know you must have been a breath of fresh air.
Wow I love the stonework and the stain. Not so sure about the rangehood colour, it looks amost white/grey on camera, and cold next to the warm colours of stone and stain. But maybe it is different in real life! I would have picked a more blue colour, so more pigmented. Love from the Netherlands!
Planning and Prepping is 90% of the job. A good lesson for those who are too eager to start. Love the grain on the stone, it’s matching perfectly with the walnut finish.
Praising the beautiful workmanship of your contractor and tradies. I could watch them for hours and marvel not only at their skill but also the way they listened to what you were asking. 😊💕
Oh my goodness! The kitchen is stunning! Love the Ogee edges! You literally thought of everything! I always wanted white kitchen but now 😅haha you are making me rethink it. Also, everyone who’s working on this project with you is so nice and I love how they’re sharing their tips and tricks. You can tell that they’re hardworking men. I’m thankful to them that they let you to film them and share this journey with us. 🤩
The gasp I gasped each time a new element was brought in!!! The cabinetry stain under the light from the skylight looks so unbelievably warm and cozy. The stain, the countertops, and the hood color all work so incredibly well together. I’m so proud of you!!!
I loved the cabinet colour before your stained it (as someone who grew up in the 70s I do not like dark cabinets) but the workmanship of the cabinets is fantastic. Great job.
It's beautiful and maybe it can only be appreciated in person but from my phone it does remind of the popular espresso oak cabinets everyone had like 2010s
@@jojojo724 I was hoping she would have it the tone of her entryway table. I thought she said that once. I’m finding it too dark of a stain. I’m sure the final product will be beautiful, however. She does have great vision.
'Blue Heather' simply because it's brighter, and actually blue in a room that is becoming darker and darker. Blue lowers your blood pressure and calms you.
It's coming together so beautifully and I love how hardworking your contractors are. They know their stuff and their attention to detail shows. Stunning!
I think the corbles should be distressed the same color as the hood. So its base would be the original color but with hints of the blue. So I suggest sealing them as is then trying the paint and wipe technique. (You could also twt out on something else to see if it would work) and this way if you seal them and you don't like it, you can wipe off the paint?
The hood is a show stopper 👏🏻. I appreciate all the little extra touches you are incorporating to make your kitchen even more tailored to your tastes. I also am happy because I know you are the person that will request that any extra countertop material you keep for personal use down the road.
Dang not only is this entire crew absolutely phenomenal.. Your attention to detail always gets me. I didn't even realize you could ask for a lot of the things you've requested!! For example, the beautiful woodworking done on the hood or the curved backsplashes..just wow. I'm not even sure if I would've thought of it anyway!! This kitchen is going to be a show stopper.👏🥰
The finish on the kitchen cabinets is phenomenal! When the sun was hitting them, absolutely perfect satin finish 👌 The colour of the range hood reminds me a little of an undercoat 😬 I think maybe another colour that matches the undertone of the stone might look better?
I love how you and the guys work so well together. The trust and mutual respect and communication is so wonderful to see. The Kitchen is turning out so well. So much beautiful light contrasting with the darker stain on the cabinets. Gorgeous xx
Yeah!!!!!!!!! First one here, I love the darker cabinets and the hood will look amazing once painted the color you chose. You are getting your French design elements❤❤❤. I wish I had your talent for color, style for decor. I have no idea and I’m 73 you make everything look gorgeous. Your Mom oh my word is out of this word talented ❤❤❤
That range hood is a showstopper. When I didn’t think it could get any better, the soft detail on the backsplash blew my mind. So beautiful. But what I love even more is the excitement your craftsman show in their work executing your beautiful vision.
It was so wonderful to see the interaction between you and the contractors. They are so talented and you can tell they take a lot of pride in their work. When you and the one who stained were talking, it was like you both were talking the same language amongst yourselves. What a breath of fresh air it must have been for him to know what you want and be a good client.
This really was fascinating to watch. To see the tradesmen in action was truly special! Thank you so much for sharing the details we never get to see anywhere else. You are seriously amazing!!🥰❤️🥰 Edit- 23:48 Girl- the fact that you are wearing jeans so soon after giving birth is incredible! Good for you!
These guys are so hard working. The level of professionalism and the skills they have blows my mind. The perfection they put in their job while respecting and communicating your demands I love it so much.
Absolutely stunning! I am in absolute aww that they could do the ogee on site! It is beautiful. The attention to detail and passion for their craft that all your contractors have is impeccable! I'm so excited for y'all. What a beautifully crafted space that so many memories will be made.
I wonder what next TH-camr will hire these contractors? First Drew then you! They are smart taking on these jobs. It really gets their talent & craftsmanship out there for all to see!
McCenna, it's fun to see your vision come to fruition. Fernando and the other craftsmen are so meticulous and their work looks amazing. They must enjoy working for you and Romeo because you appreciate their talented workmanship. The piece of (quartz?) above your stove has great movement. Your kitchen is looking good!!
Not the paint contractor saying everyone does Swiss Coffee and I just painted my house Swiss Coffee lol! But he's right, I have a smaller, older home so painting it that creamy white made it feel bigger and brighter! That blue you chose is so pretty! I definitely want to incorporate more blue since it really gives that cottage-y feel I'm aiming for
It’s going to be PERFECTION!!! It is so amazing to see all the craftsmanship & detail each person working puts in each element. My grandfather was an architect & carpenter & always lived by the details & the beauty of working with quality wood & stone. Be sure you give them praise often for such fine masterful work! I know you do - you appreciate all the craftsmanship, detailed quality you’ve designed into every room in y’all’s increasingly beautiful home. ❤️😍
I did not use tile at all in my kitchen remodel. I put the slab up the wall behind the stove and under the cabinets I Don’t regret it at all! Keep your lines straight. Trust me.
The Swiss Coffee comment made me LOL! You inspired me to purchase and redo a small, historic townhome and I hated every color white that was recommended. The painter came in and said “What about this?” And I fell in love with Swiss Coffee! It truly brightened up my space. Laundry room is in Garden Path (I kept the old Tuscan red floor in there), half bath is wallpapered in Sandberg Rafael Blue which goes great with that Swiss coffee! I contemplated a dusty blue for my kitchen but then panicked! 😂
Love ! only though is the skylight filtered were you want get a discoloration on your hood in one spot. Had it happen. They said a film tint would help that.
@@kristinak.9046You don’t know about MaCenna’s vlog channel? Ohhh my gosh, you need to find it now! Lol. She posts at least 2 videos each week. It’s about her day to day life & all of the behind the scenes things. Just search for XO, MaCenna Vlogs here on TH-cam & you’ll find it! 😊
I’m curious if the hood reads more blue in person. By the end of the video with the cabinets stained and the stone installed it was looking pretty white on my phone screen.
this kitchen is spectacular , the same quality of work as you did in Texas with the cottage....you can see perfectionism in both kitchens.....bravo to the guys working on the kitchen and bravo to you for letting them know the level of perfection that you expected ( and nothing less )
Incredible from concept to finish! Best contractors and awesome craftsmen (plus, YOU, MaCenna and Romeo, with your vision). You’ve sure made this home beautiful and all your own.❤❤❤
Wow, Wow, Wow! It's not even finished but all your hard work is coming to fruition. Your contractors are an incredible part of completing your vision. Kudos to them. I can only imagine how much value this adds to your home. I'm beyond excited to see the completed kitchen. ❤
The kitchen videos leaves me feeling so much respect for everyone working on it. They’re paying so much attention to details and are so knowledgeable about their craft. So nice to see and learn from!
They have left so much love and warmth in that kitchen renovation ❤.

me toooo! thats why i did a combo -- detailed edit on the backsplash with clean straight edge on the countertops.
Sooooo beautiful! I feel like I'm in Paris! You are so talented with your design eye. Love seeing you with little Cade. My boys have C names and two of my grandkids have C names. 🥰
Me too i don’t like the sharp edges at all
I am not a huge fan of the granite the previous owners installed in the kitchen of our home, BUT I LOVE the beveled edge they chose 😍

I think it needed a little green though to harmonise with the warmth in the stone. The french toile was super pretty but, the colour she picked let's the stone shine
I was thinking it was so smooth it looked like metal. Did you happen to catch the finish ? Doesn't look like a satin
I thought the same, could definitely see those green tones in it.

The hood looks gray. I wish it was more cornflower blue.
I agree. I liked the middle color the best and i think that’s going to really showcase the hood better too
I wish the color of the hood would have been in the warmer tones to mesh with all the other beautiful tones, instead of cool blue.
I think the entire house is beautiful but that kitchen....OMG it's a masterpiece
We all click the second it's posted❤
Yep. We sure do!
one of the few accounts where I have notifications!
Yep!
Right!😂😂😂😂
You had the BEST tradesmen for the job, so well done!! I don't think I can wait 2 weeks for another video...
The stonework is stunning. You have really got some great contractors!
Well, we all like to look a peek into another person's life and thank you dealr lady for allowing us into your life. You are so dear.

The fact that he did that ogee bevel on the spot!! wow, mindblown! what expertise and attention to detail. Can't wait to see kitchen when it's done!!
Agree and who needs the fancy water sprayer when you can just use a plastic water bottle. Such talent!
There is something so pleasing, inspiring and wonderful in watching people do a job really well. I may have fallen a little bit in love with all the tradesmen that made this kitchen come together.
Wowsers! The guys have been awesome to watch, their level of professionalism and the pride they take in their work is amazing. The squeal of delight was the cherry on the top. I’m so glad for you all! 😊
I am so glad that you are promoting your contractor and the finisher but I also hope you promote your stone people and those that cut them and placed them. Everyone that is there helping you in your kitchen is top notch!!! I have been waiting for this video but now I have to wait two more weeks for the next update I am going to go bonkers lol. I am excited for when all the doors and appliances are in and then you get to the staging part with all that you have collected and placed them where you want them to go!
Stone guys never ceased to amaze me. It's a lost art.
I think my favorite part of all of this process is seeing you interact with your contractors and craftsmen. They're all so bloody talented and it's so interesting to get to see parts of the jobs we usually don't get to see. Everything is looking wonderful. Love that you went with interesting/curved edges on your stone, absolutely stunning.
Such a beautiful kitchen! I just wanted to say that I love the way you're showing us the level of craftmanship all the people involved is putting in their job, just thank you for sharing 💜
The cabinets, countertops and backsplash are stunning! I think I may have gone with the French Toile on the hood but will wait and see what MaCenna does to pull this all together with her other decorating choices. In these videos the the paint is barely noticeable.
Agree..was hoping it would look more blue, but hard to tell on video, maybe it does in person.
I was thinking the same thing doesn't give me corn flower vibe.. but will await for the end result ..
Being Scandinavian, I love the natural colour of the wood:) We almost never stain; whitewash or au naturel! 😊
❤
I prefer lighter wood!
I am sad the beautiful wood grain is mostly invisible with the dark stain 😢
I love how you can tell that the contractors are happy to work with you. So many aren't treated respectfully and are probably made to feel a little uncomfortable chatting with home owners. I know you must have been a breath of fresh air.
I reflexively mumbled aloud to myself "oh, that's gorgeous" at least 3 times throughout this video. This kitchen is going to be an absolute oasis!
Perfect finish for my 62nd birthday. Congratulations on the launch of your new candle 🕯️😀🌺
happy birthdayyyyy!
Happy Birthday
Wow I love the stonework and the stain. Not so sure about the rangehood colour, it looks amost white/grey on camera, and cold next to the warm colours of stone and stain. But maybe it is different in real life!
I would have picked a more blue colour, so more pigmented.
Love from the Netherlands!
I love that you feature the tradespeople. It's such skilled work, and it's super interesting to see the process.
Planning and Prepping is 90% of the job. A good lesson for those who are too eager to start.
Love the grain on the stone, it’s matching perfectly with the walnut finish.
I love it but the hood color looks white/grey on video. I wish it was more blue. Beautiful job
Praising the beautiful workmanship of your contractor and tradies. I could watch them for hours and marvel not only at their skill but also the way they listened to what you were asking. 😊💕
I think the corbals will look pretty the same colour as the hood. Stunning transformation, I can't wait to see it finished.
Ohh my goddd that stain on the cabinets is so rich and stunning
Oh my goodness! The kitchen is stunning! Love the Ogee edges! You literally thought of everything! I always wanted white kitchen but now 😅haha you are making me rethink it. Also, everyone who’s working on this project with you is so nice and I love how they’re sharing their tips and tricks. You can tell that they’re hardworking men. I’m thankful to them that they let you to film them and share this journey with us. 🤩
Watching these men creating is pure magic. The quality and care of their work is so clear. Absolutely incredible to watch 😍
Even tho this Reno isn’t 100% my style your attention to detail n eye is so amazing it blows me away so beautiful
The gasp I gasped each time a new element was brought in!!! The cabinetry stain under the light from the skylight looks so unbelievably warm and cozy. The stain, the countertops, and the hood color all work so incredibly well together. I’m so proud of you!!!
I loved the cabinet colour before your stained it (as someone who grew up in the 70s I do not like dark cabinets) but the workmanship of the cabinets is fantastic. Great job.
Same.
It's beautiful and maybe it can only be appreciated in person but from my phone it does remind of the popular espresso oak cabinets everyone had like 2010s
@@jojojo724 I was hoping she would have it the tone of her entryway table. I thought she said that once. I’m finding it too dark of a stain. I’m sure the final product will be beautiful, however. She does have great vision.
@@jojojo724yeah it looks painted brown and not sealed with how dark it is.
'Blue Heather' simply because it's brighter, and actually blue in a room that is becoming darker and darker. Blue lowers your blood pressure and calms you.
They're so kind to let you film them! They're doing such nice work!
It's coming together so beautifully and I love how hardworking your contractors are. They know their stuff and their attention to detail shows. Stunning!
Kitchen is amazing!! Wow 🎉
On camera the blue paint is looking a bit too cool toned and mismatch if you wanted another opinion xx
I think the corbles should be distressed the same color as the hood.
So its base would be the original color but with hints of the blue. So I suggest sealing them as is then trying the paint and wipe technique.
(You could also twt out on something else to see if it would work) and this way if you seal them and you don't like it, you can wipe off the paint?
I think the middle blue was the most interesting of the three.
Incredible! I love that you showcase the craftsman doing their trade and displaying their expertise. Your vision is coming together beautifully.
The hood is a show stopper 👏🏻. I appreciate all the little extra touches you are incorporating to make your kitchen even more tailored to your tastes. I also am happy because I know you are the person that will request that any extra countertop material you keep for personal use down the road.
Dang not only is this entire crew absolutely phenomenal..
Your attention to detail always gets me. I didn't even realize you could ask for a lot of the things you've requested!! For example, the beautiful woodworking done on the hood or the curved backsplashes..just wow. I'm not even sure if I would've thought of it anyway!! This kitchen is going to be a show stopper.👏🥰
My goodness this is beautiful and I love the way the skylights bring in a soft light on each side of the hood! Chefs kiss!!!
The finish on the kitchen cabinets is phenomenal! When the sun was hitting them, absolutely perfect satin finish 👌
The colour of the range hood reminds me a little of an undercoat 😬 I think maybe another colour that matches the undertone of the stone might look better?
Always fascinating to watch skilled artisans at work. Fast, efficient...going through the motions while making the process look SO easy.
I love how you and the guys work so well together. The trust and mutual respect and communication is so wonderful to see. The Kitchen is turning out so well. So much beautiful light contrasting with the darker stain on the cabinets. Gorgeous xx
I was going to say Blue Springs. I love dusty blue colors. It is all looking GORGEOUS!!
The kitchen is fabulous 👌 the hood looks gray though against all the brown. Maybe with some blue accents you'll be able to see the blue in it......
Yeah!!!!!!!!! First one here, I love the darker cabinets and the hood will look amazing once painted the color you chose. You are getting your French design elements❤❤❤. I wish I had your talent for color, style for decor. I have no idea and I’m 73 you make everything look gorgeous. Your Mom oh my word is out of this word talented ❤❤❤
7 comments before you
@@BP-cs9qoI know now but when I hit like there were no likes or comments 😂
aww thank you so much!
And this is why custom anything cost so much, craftsmanship. Beautiful kitchen guys, not me over in England with kitchen envy 😍
Don’t worry, me too, in Northern Canada.
This kitchen has been a journey, but does not disappoint! Masterful design & execution by all trades thus far.
I agree the blue spring is the best. The farthest one on the right this is so interesting. Thank you for taking us along.❤
I agree, it's beautiful.
That range hood is a showstopper. When I didn’t think it could get any better, the soft detail on the backsplash blew my mind. So beautiful. But what I love even more is the excitement your craftsman show in their work executing your beautiful vision.
It was so wonderful to see the interaction between you and the contractors. They are so talented and you can tell they take a lot of pride in their work. When you and the one who stained were talking, it was like you both were talking the same language amongst yourselves. What a breath of fresh air it must have been for him to know what you want and be a good client.
This really was fascinating to watch. To see the tradesmen in action was truly special! Thank you so much for sharing the details we never get to see anywhere else. You are seriously amazing!!🥰❤️🥰 Edit- 23:48 Girl- the fact that you are wearing jeans so soon after giving birth is incredible! Good for you!
Love your contractors! It’s hard to find true craftsmen! Can’t wait to see it finished and decorated!
I liked the original color of the cabinets.
These guys are so hard working. The level of professionalism and the skills they have blows my mind. The perfection they put in their job while respecting and communicating your demands I love it so much.
Thank you for appreciating our work I love what I do. The kitchen cabinets came out beautiful and the hood as well
I think the hood sticks out like a sore thumb. Copper would be beautiful! JS.
It’s supposed to stand out.
Absolutely stunning! I am in absolute aww that they could do the ogee on site! It is beautiful. The attention to detail and passion for their craft that all your contractors have is impeccable! I'm so excited for y'all. What a beautifully crafted space that so many memories will be made.
I wonder what next TH-camr will hire these contractors? First Drew then you! They are smart taking on these jobs. It really gets their talent & craftsmanship out there for all to see!
McCenna, it's fun to see your vision come to fruition. Fernando and the other craftsmen are so meticulous and their work looks amazing. They must enjoy working for you and Romeo because you appreciate their talented workmanship. The piece of (quartz?) above your stove has great movement. Your kitchen is looking good!!
Thank you it came out beautiful she is super happy
I love all that you share. You are seriously wonder woman! This kitchen is giving.
awww thank youuuuu!
Voting for blue corbels! Im sure no matter what you do, it will be stunning but that blue is such a moment I want it everywhere haha
I was just about to comment the same thing!
I second this! Everything else in the room is too polished to leave them chippy, and the blue is stunning. The corbels really need to be blue!
Not the paint contractor saying everyone does Swiss Coffee and I just painted my house Swiss Coffee lol! But he's right, I have a smaller, older home so painting it that creamy white made it feel bigger and brighter! That blue you chose is so pretty! I definitely want to incorporate more blue since it really gives that cottage-y feel I'm aiming for
Was für eine Freude ,die Vollendung Deines Projektes zu sehen und so vertrauensvolle Arbeitskräfte an Deiner Seite ,mehr geht nicht.Dankeschön❤
It’s going to be PERFECTION!!! It is so amazing to see all the craftsmanship & detail each person working puts in each element. My grandfather was an architect & carpenter & always lived by the details & the beauty of working with quality wood & stone. Be sure you give them praise often for such fine masterful work! I know you do - you appreciate all the craftsmanship, detailed quality you’ve designed into every room in y’all’s increasingly beautiful home. ❤️😍
I did not use tile at all in my kitchen remodel. I put the slab up the wall behind the stove and under the cabinets I Don’t regret it at all! Keep your lines straight. Trust me.
These people are artisans. The workmanship is awesome. The kitchen is sooo beautiful❤️ MaCenna your talent is unbelievable!
Thank you so much the kitchen is so beautiful she is so happy.
Am from India, I feel so happy to see you liked Taj Mahal, please do explore more of Indian materials 😁
The hood looks like a cold white to me, is it my phone?
Looking very nice! Stone behind stove looks amazing.
The Swiss Coffee comment made me LOL!
You inspired me to purchase and redo a small, historic townhome and I hated every color white that was recommended. The painter came in and said “What about this?” And I fell in love with Swiss Coffee! It truly brightened up my space. Laundry room is in Garden Path (I kept the old Tuscan red floor in there), half bath is wallpapered in Sandberg Rafael Blue which goes great with that Swiss coffee!
I contemplated a dusty blue for my kitchen but then panicked! 😂
Love ! only though is the skylight filtered were you want get a discoloration on your hood in one spot. Had it happen. They said a film tint would help that.
I literally just looked at your channel for a new video and when I didn’t see one I went to your vlog channel 😂 paused the vlog to watch this!
What’s the difference between the two? Does MaCenna have another channel? I need to know for sure! 🤗
@@kristinak.9046You don’t know about MaCenna’s vlog channel? Ohhh my gosh, you need to find it now! Lol. She posts at least 2 videos each week. It’s about her day to day life & all of the behind the scenes things. Just search for XO, MaCenna Vlogs here on TH-cam & you’ll find it! 😊
@@kristinak.9046 yes! She has XO, MaCenna and XO, MaCenna Vlogs.
Yes two channels. The Vlog channel has more behind the scenes content
I’m curious if the hood reads more blue in person. By the end of the video with the cabinets stained and the stone installed it was looking pretty white on my phone screen.
this kitchen is spectacular , the same quality of work as you did in Texas with the cottage....you can see perfectionism in both kitchens.....bravo to the guys working on the kitchen and bravo to you for letting them know the level of perfection that you expected ( and nothing less )
Incredible from concept to finish! Best contractors and awesome craftsmen (plus, YOU, MaCenna and Romeo, with your vision). You’ve sure made this home beautiful and all your own.❤❤❤
Wow, Wow, Wow! It's not even finished but all your hard work is coming to fruition. Your contractors are an incredible part of completing your vision. Kudos to them. I can only imagine how much value this adds to your home.
I'm beyond excited to see the completed kitchen. ❤
