OMG! MaCenna! I cried with you, I'm so unreal happy for you and Romeo!! and boy was I missing your bubbly vlogs. 2023 is going to be such a wonderful year 🥰❣❣❣Congrats you deserve ...all the things.
I don't know how you maintain the stamina to continue renovating/decorating/thrifting.. It's incredibly inspiring to see your passion and hustle (even starting a new podcast omg)! I can't wait to see your new house become a home!
Love it! I'm so excited for you! And to watch you transform it over time. One suggestion. Since Romeo does laundry for his work and you don't like laundry in the bedroom. What if that is Romeos office? He would have clothes storage. Then, take one of the upstairs bedrooms for the master. The upstairs bedrooms provide closet room for both you and Romeo. It is next to the nursery one day. It's not ideal not to have an on suite and things always feel different in person, so it may not actually work. But something to think about. Also then you can enjoy going up the stairs every night for bed. And enjoy the stairs every morning too.
OMG I started tearing up when your Mama first walked in and she said how proud she was of you, and then it got worse when it hit you that you did this!!! I just love your energy and determined attitude. Congratulations on your dream home!!
I totally see the "formal living room" as the dining room and making the current dining room a cool butlers pantry with a bunch of storage In it. Super happy for you guys!! Congratulations and here's to new beginnings!
Such a beautiful house! As a mother of two, and just a suggestion, I would eventually make the upstairs bedroom your primary instead of diy room. You’ll want to be next to the nursery, trust me on that. Also for a brick floor on the bottom would make for a better office and diy room.
By the time the baby is old enough to be out of their bedroom, the little half-floor to get there isn't a big deal, in my opinion (I'm also a mom). It works differently for every family, though. Personally, I'd take the on-suite bathroom ANY day as well 😋😋
Oh my gosh I lost it when you started happy-crying with your mom. I happy-cried too. I am so excited for you and Romeo!! You two deserve it. You worked so hard to make this dream a reality and it is so incredibly inspiring. 💛✨
I’m so incredibly excited for you and Romeo! My husband and I have also been together for nearly 14 years (this may!) we bought our first home last October 2021 - a 1930’s southern bungalow (with original windows!!) and had our first child this past June. I’ve been following your channels since you started your first house hunt and I have admired our parallels in every way {hard core thrifter here}! You’re accomplishments with your home have been such an inspiration and I can’t wait to see your family life unfold. I feel like you’re a dear friend and I just have all the love in my heart for you guys! ❤❤❤ I wish you all the luck and happiness (and none of the morning sickness 😅) as you step into this new chapter!
WHAT!!! This announcement is not what I expected to start the new year. Congratulations to you both. I know how much you've wanted this. It's going to be so exciting to see what kind of projects you tackle in this new space and your design choices for the new environment. Welcome to your forever home!!!
This entire video was so intimate, thank you for sharing some of your life with us. Love your wholesome content on here, it’s so refreshing to escape the negativity of the internet and follow you on your journey. So happy for you MaCenna and we can’t wait to see the nursery 🤎🤎🤎
OMG!! Congratulations! The house is beautiful. I would totally make the downstairs bedroom the office and take the upstairs bedroom, especially if you want the other room to be the nursery. Can't wait to see your little touches in the house.
I thought the same, and the downstairs bath would be more practical (and accessible; walking through an office rather than someone’s private bedroom is so much less awkward), for visitors. The upstairs could then be the family sanctuary. 😌
when you said that there could be a nursery i just cried. i’m a new mom, we bought our flat while i was pregnant and i know the feeling, when you know that there is finally space for your child, their own safe space, just for them to fill with joy and love. I am in tears, i wish you both so well 😭🥰😍♥️
How exciting! CONGRATULATIONS! It’s HUGE accomplishment for a young couple to own a home in LA. I am thrilled for you and Romeo. Can’t wait to see all that you do with it.
This makes me "homesick" for my childhood home in Santa Monica, which was an adorable 1930s pale pink stucco bungalow with a rose garden. I was really young when we lived there in the 1970s, but I remember so much about it. Looked it up and it was torn down and now it's a multi-million dollar home built up the property boundary lines. :(
Congrats on finding your forever home in LA. It's gorgeous and so private. That slumber party reminded me of the one you had with your mom when you had closed on the cottage! I fully understand you felt overwhelmed by joy and gratitude that this all has come together. Counting your blessings is so empowering. With love from Northern Ireland.
I’m sobbing right now, I am SO proud of you and Romeo for achieving your dreams and goals. You are role models for people our age, and I have hopes and dreams of my own now because of your channel. Love you!!
Hello from Ventura County, next one over from LA. You got yourself a classic and iconic southern California home, that represents the best things about living here. California out did itself when it built these 1930’s homes. Warm, cozy, vintage, yet contemporary feel and so inviting and open to the outdoors. Your backyard is what a Southern California yard is all about. So excited for you! You will have many, happy and sun filled years in this home with a beautiful family. Citrus, citrus, citrus! Your culinary adventures with citrus have only just begun with lemonade! 🍊🍋
I thought the same thing. I’m over in Santa Barbara county and I have a similar backyard. It’s a bit of paradise in the middle of the city. So beautiful. Just waiting for the right touch. I can totally see little ones playing hide n seek or making a fort over in the hidden tree area where the stairs are. So cute!
Here I was thinking poor Macenna needed a holiday but damn girl, you been busy! Congratulations to you both and thank you for sharing your joy with us xx
What an absolutely stunning house! It's like a movie house, full of character and charm and one that just looks loved and lived in even with it empty. I can't wait to see how this one progresses :)
I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to consistently show up on TH-cam to share everything house-related - but THANK YOU! I’ve been following you since the DIY macrame and thrift flip days and it has been such a joy to watch you evolve from where you started (which was already awesome) to where you are now. I adore your cottage and I can’t wait to see how you bring your new LA home to life. Congrats on everything you’ve worked hard for and accomplished ! 😍
All of the greenery is what makes this house so special as well! Absolutely amazing feeling and there seems to have been so much thought out into the details, by people who actually lived in the space. I’m very excited!
Omg you made me cry when the reality of owning the home hit you!!! We are all so happy for you, the house is absolutely stunning!!! If this is a future family home for you and Romeo, eventually turn the downstairs suite into the guest suite/office space etc and turn upstairs into your primary suite so you are close to the future nursery :) I love the character and quirkiness, it's absolutely stunning. Congratulations!!! Xx
I thought that also. Yet, you keep your baby in your room until they sleep through the night and move to own room. A baby monitor solves that issue. It is when they are toddlers that being upstairs and parents down can be a problem.
OMG this is definitely your home! It has such a vintage Mediterranean vibe, the light is beautiful and the garden is gorgeous. I am so happy and excited for you and Romeo. Kinsley will be very happy in her new home. Well done my friend!
I literally screamed when I saw the notification. Congratulations on your new home MaCenna, Romeo and Kingsley. I'm so overjoyed with this news. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and warming up this chaotic and sometimes cruel world that we live in. So excited to see what this already beautiful house will transform in once you make it a home. My very best wishes for you and your family ❤️
A huge congratulations to both of you, the home tour is just stunning. I can just feel the love that will be in this home and has probably been there since it's building in the 1930s. I wish you and Romeo both the best ♥️♥️♥️
MACENNA!!!! Holy shit! This is AMAZING! I'm beyond excited for you! Thank you for letting us see a glimpse into your life. This next chapter is going to be beautiful and I can't wait to see how you will grow. I'm someone who loves interior decorating, DIY projects, crafting, etc but I haven't been able to do much of that lately. I'm disabled/chronically ill, and in the last year or so, I have had to let a lot of my dreams go. I won't bore you will all the medical talk. Just let me say- thank you for giving me a reason to smile and look forward to every Sunday. It truly does make my day a little brighter when you post. I know parasocial relationships are weird and I hope it didn't sound creepy. Anyway, thank you! And I'm so excited for you! Much love!!🤍
This was such an emotional rollercoaster for me at first. I’ve been following you for a few years now and I can’t express how happy I am for you, forever learning and living vicariously through you! Happy New Year ♥️
I honestly got teary watching this. Absolutely so excited for you guys! I just picture that informal living space eventually being a playroom and your future kiddos playing secret garden in the backyard. Congrats!
The Texas house is a dream…I can’t believe that the Texas house is not your for ever home… This is a cute home & since it’s in California I’m sure it was quite expensive. It was confusing to see you decorating this California home and I had to search what the story was. I guess there must be other draws about California that aren’t clear to me. People are fleeing California and moving up to Coeur d’Alene Idaho where we live. You do a great job with design and loving up the home and I seen how this California home is coming together. The pool is fantastic very retro.
How have you found my dream home, TWICE? The home is so beautiful, i can’t even. OMG I started to tear up when your mom went in to hug you. Congratulations! ❤
I am so happy and excited for you guys. This is amazing. I love how quaint and quirky it is (I find most modern houses fairly boring) and how fantastic that it’s so private and sealed off. That’s a huge plus for me. I really like the little panes in the windows and doors, so cute. It gives me warm storybook vibes. As much as I love watching the progress on the cottage I am just as excited about seeing you arrange all your things in your new home. Congratulations to you both. You should be so proud. This is huge.
MaCenna, that house is a DREAM. I could go on and on, but I think that just sums it up…a dream. My favorite part is the back yard. I would clear out the section up the brick walk and make it a hammock hidden in a flower garden situation. ❤️congrats!
Girl, we were all crying together!!! We are all proud of you and excited for all the great videos that are to come! May this home be a blessing for you and your family! May it be filled with love and laughter! ❤
Omg I’m screaming this house is stunning! All the character details, a POOL!! Omg I’m crying to see you and Romeo finding a dream home in LA I can’t wait to see what you do decorating wise CONGRATULATIONS ❤🎉
We moved into a smaller home and have a pool for the first time. It’s expensive to maintain, but after almost 4 years of no vacations because of COVID, the pool makes this home (our only home) a vacation home. We use it a lot and our daughters and daughter-in-law love to come visit and hang out around (and in) the pool. It’s also lovely to just sit by it and have the water soothe and calm us. Macenna and Romeo are going to love it!
O M G!!! This house is sooo beautiful! It fits your personality so well I am so happy for y’all!🥹🥹idk if the wall between the kitchen & dining room is structural or not but if it were me, I’d knock that down and make a larger kitchen then you could always add a pantry! And then use the informal living room/family room as the dining room!
She's BACK! I'm so happy for you!!! I am so excited to see how you decorate this place! It has so much potential to be the the perfect home for you and your future family!
Oh MaCenna! This is storybook perfection! I am beyond thrilled for you and Romeo! What an absolutely perfect place to start your family! Congratulations!
This is such a beautiful house, inside and out! So much character! Congratulations and I wish you and Romeo so much happiness for this next chapter in your lives! ❤🎉
Macenna, I am so happy for you both! I KNEW there would be a new home reveal after the holidays - I suspected it when your mom came to visit you in LA!! The house is stunning!! Would you think about having the office downstairs in the Master and having your master bedroom upstairs where you plan to have the office? The reason being, when you start a family, you will want your bedroom to be as close to the nursery as possible? It would make the upstairs the sleeping suite and naturally divide the home. Also the dinning room could be turned into a pantry with downstairs powder room?? Just my thoughts, but I know whatever you do with the home will be so special! X
I literally just cried when your mom stopped and went to hug you. So happy for you guys! This house is literally goals! The rose garden 🤤 I can’t wait to see what you do 🤍
THIS IS ALL SO EXCITING!! Ok! You should consider knocking down the wall between the dining room and kitchen so you can get all the light and view from the windows and it would make you kitchen feel bigger and you can still have a long dining table. Just an idea!!! Can’t wait to watch what you do to the house🎉
Wow! I am so happy for you two! This is so exciting. Every time I think “oh my goodness Macenna does so so much, I have no idea how she does it all”, you come and hit us with something else. Please tell me how you do this. You’re awesome.
So beyond happy for you! Buying a home that feels like a dream come true is an overwhelming feeling and it's just an amazing time in life. I'm two years in and I still feel so lucky for my home. Enjoy this new exciting chapter!
Omg, I’m 2 seconds in and I’m so dang excited and happy for you both!! It’s so gorgeous! ❤❤ All your dedication and hard work has paid off and you both deserve this so much! What a wonderful start to 2023 for you and Romeo! 🎉🎉
@@XOMaCenna MaCenna, I have a kind of crazy but yet awesome idea for that space up behind the lemon trees... what if in one corner you cleared it out and you put a hot tub with a wire-like or metal gazebo type of thing over it that vines can grow up and over it. You could add fairy lights, maybe some pretty hanging outside ornaments! It would be like a private little whimsical oasis and still have room on the other side for a little herb garden! Just some thoughts... love your home and I'm so happy for you! It's truly a beautiful place and I know you will make it even more so! Best of luck to you and you family and this new journey of life you are on ❤️
Wow... this storybook cottage is my dream home. So cozy, with all the windows and bump outs... the stairway, the brick floors. I can't wait for this journey. I will live vicariously through you! I would move in, make it feel like home, and take awhile to just be one with the universe. We can wait for all the updates later!! Take time to smell the roses. Also in the little kitchen, space near the back door, I could see a tall bar table with two stools. Small footprint,, enough for coffee and breakfast with Romeo. This home is beyond charming!!!
Congratulations! Totally not what I was expecting for your first video back, but I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time. Im so happy for you both 💜 can’t wait to see you put your stamp on your gorgeous new home!
I just had a feeling you had found a home, and I'm so glad you found your dream place. Can't wait to see how you personalize your home. Congratulations!!!!
Loved your mom's reaction! She's such a bundle of joy to begin with. Love the new home! It's so.. California! The only thing that could make me happier for you & Romeo is a pregnancy announcement. I have a feeling that's coming this year. Congrats!
I am so happy for you and Romeo, it is such a big step owning a home and to be able to plan for your future. You both deserve this, thank you for sharing, your house looks so interesting, can't wait for the decorating to begin.
I feel so happy for you. It crazy how you can feel like you know someone just by watching them for so long. When you talked about starting a family soon I cried because I’m just soo happy all of your dreams are coming true!!
So proud of you and everything you’ve accomplished!! I’ve loved watching you grow over the years and you are truly an inspiration and role model for my 23 year old self!! 😊🫶
What a magical beautiful home!! So bright and cheery, so much personality already! Perfect for your new life ventures, new family additions, too many things to mention! So happy for you and Romeo!!
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS HOUSE! The style, the fireplace, the layout,the pool, the outdoor space and the gardens! Your Searching and waiting brought you and Romeo the perfect home. And I love your sweet mother. You have TH-cam content for years! ❤CONGRATULATIONS!
Cried SO MANY times through out this video!! Congratulations MaCenna, Romeo & Kinsley!! The home is so beautiful and I can’t wait to follow this next chapter of your journey! ❤️ it’s so magical!
I love how you and Romeo balance the sheer love and passion that y'all have for being near your families and building your dreams together! It feels like so much intentionality goes into how y'all love each other and are blending your families. Happy that y'all are taking us all along on this journey! Happy new year and hope your vacation went well!!!!!
Congratulations Macenna and Romeo! This is fantastic! I'm so excited for you and your future. I'm so proud of you guys and it's time you stop making me tear up.
I'm in the very beginning stage of looking for a new house, and between the secret garden vibes outside and the unbelievable charm of the house itself, I could honestly weep with envy😂 Congratulations! Can't wait to see how y'all make it your own.
I couldn’t be happier for you guys. The house is gorgeous and is so quaint. It is so homey. I definitely can see you two starting a family here. I can’t wait to see your touch on the house. Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈 to the both of you. I love it. It has so much character. It looks like a house that would see in a movie, it’s that adorable!
MaCenna, you are by far my favorite creator on this platform. I have been watching you for years and you never fail to blow my mind with the things you choose to share with us. I can’t wait to see the magic you bring to this place. Congrats girl!🎉
MaCenna, I teared up when you did! It’s so wonderful you found your dream home! I’m in Long Beach and am a California native and while my home is by no means a dream I’m just grateful to own a home here! Congratulations to you and Romeo and I can’t wait to see how you decorate and all of the upcoming DIYs! ❤
This is what I like, greenery. You have all these people who are flipping homes and get rid of all the greenery and lay sod and it just looks so boring. This looks magical. I love it I can see her drinking her coffee in the summer in her garden.
Love the bones of this house! It has so much character and can’t wait to see what you do with it! Suggestion for the kitchen, I feel like you could remove the wall between the dining and kitchen space to open it up more, which would give the dinning space better lighting and not feel so closed in. Then remove the French doors that go to the front of your house, bring your cabinets along that wall and under the windows, you could even bring the cabinets on the other side as well and then add an island! Honestly, just so excited for you both and again, can’t wait to see what you guys do with it!!
As a fan for more than 8 years I’m crying with excitement! We have heard you talk so much about this dream of yours and look at you accomplishing it! Also, Im so ready for all the things and you have for decorating! Can’t wait for you to inspire me decorating since I also just bought my first apartment 🥹🥰
I love your new house!!! If open the kitchen wall to the dining room and put bar stools there. I’d use the formal living room as my dining room. Love that you have a new project house that you can change in your own time.
Thank goodness you're back! To say I've been checking this page for a new video a few times a week...you're just a whole vibe MaCenna. So happy for you & Romeo! Yay!
What a beautiful home. You must both be so excited. I can’t wait to see what you do with it. I am surprised you don’t have the master suite in the room you are giving your Mom. It’s so pretty and feels more private to downstairs. I would put Romeo’s office in the room downstairs and have the nursery and your room upstairs. ❤
I've never clicked on a video faster in my life 😂 mom's reactions always have a way of making our "big moments" really sink in ❤️ so excited for you both and can't wait to see how you style everything! That dual fireplace is amazing and your back yard is a literal dream 😍
Just watching this video now, catching up. I’ve lived in Southern California my whole life, born and raised in LA, now living just outside LA County. I can’t even imagine what this home cost, it’s so pretty and such a nice change from the standard flat land you see in so many homes on TH-cam. Whatever you do to it, you’re going to add so much more value to it, all while making it a beautiful home. I love all the natural lighting and all those French doors are so pretty. Congratulations! Now on to more videos of this gorgeous home.
Just by the intro and the first few minutes into the video, and I’m in love with the home. I love double sided fireplaces, it’s so special you have one, I totally see this being a family home, especially with the layout configurations you’re looking into. I love this for you guys!!! I’m excited for the future and looking into our forever home as well and making our dreams a reality.
Congratulations on your new home! 🎉 The realisation you had when you mom visited for the first time was beautiful and pure to see! Enjoy this new journey and here’s to making memories! 🥂
Ok, I just gotta say, turn the dinning room into a butlers pantry and then turn your formal living room into the new dining room. That way you get a pantry and more room for your dinning room 😊
I'm so excited to share our new home with you guys! We will be back to cottage renovations in Texas early February :)
😍😍👋👋
Yay. You bring so much joy!!!
Over the moon for you. This is so beautiful
The home is amazing MaCenna full of tears with you. I am so proud of you guys truly a blessing to watch. Keep up the good work be blessed 0:)
OMG! MaCenna! I cried with you, I'm so unreal happy for you and Romeo!! and boy was I missing your bubbly vlogs. 2023 is going to be such a wonderful year 🥰❣❣❣Congrats you deserve ...all the things.
YAY!!! This is so incredible Macenna! Such a stunning home ❤ I’ll be coming over tri-weekly just an fyi
the tai-weekly visit tho. haha
MaCenna needed a duplex like you got Drew, you were smart to find something for your business and living space.
@Lone Fox - You guys are too cute.
Macenna congrats. Love it. Drew really will be over a lot lol
How far are you guys now? I know y'all lived close before!
I was just telling my husband that I'm not getting seasonal depression, I just miss McCenna.❤
Maybe that’s why my mood has been so off these past couple weeks lol
Ahhhh 💗💗💗
Sameeeeee
Same! Her videos are some of my favorites!
Same!! 😂❤
I don't know how you maintain the stamina to continue renovating/decorating/thrifting.. It's incredibly inspiring to see your passion and hustle (even starting a new podcast omg)! I can't wait to see your new house become a home!

I agree! I think Moms room would be a great primary!!
Yes! Especially since once you have a baby someday you won’t want to be that far away once they don’t sleep in the same room.
I thought the same thing!
Totally agree with Skye on her suggestion 👏 👍
What a great suggestion Skye!! I hope she reads your comment and agree with you.
OMG I started tearing up when your Mama first walked in and she said how proud she was of you, and then it got worse when it hit you that you did this!!! I just love your energy and determined attitude. Congratulations on your dream home!!
Me too x
Same! 🥲
Ditto. Xxxxx
Me too😭!
Me too
I totally see the "formal living room" as the dining room and making the current dining room a cool butlers pantry with a bunch of storage In it. Super happy for you guys!! Congratulations and here's to new beginnings!
Me too! That would be amazing! She will get her head around it all. I think her brain is likely very busy with everything at the moment!!
Can you imagine how awesome that butler’s pantry would be?!!!
I thought the same thing! So awesome!
I hope she sees it too! 😊
I was thinking a smaller pantry and a powder room so they could have one downstairs, especially by the pool
The brick....the beams....the sinks....the moment with your Momma.....the rose garden!!!!!! Congratulations MaCenna, it is simply lovely.🖤
Such a beautiful house! As a mother of two, and just a suggestion, I would eventually make the upstairs bedroom your primary instead of diy room. You’ll want to be next to the nursery, trust me on that. Also for a brick floor on the bottom would make for a better office and diy room.
Yes!!! I agree with this 100% plus that opens up the downstairs bathroom for guests
You’re absolutely correct. She doesn’t realize it yet until she does have a child. She won’t want to be that far from them, I hope!
Yes! and can't you picture that skylight over a worktable?
By the time the baby is old enough to be out of their bedroom, the little half-floor to get there isn't a big deal, in my opinion (I'm also a mom). It works differently for every family, though. Personally, I'd take the on-suite bathroom ANY day as well 😋😋
100 percent would do this makes sense for bedrooms to be upstairs and the office downstairs x
WE’VE MISSED YOU! We’re so excited you’re back and then you bring out this information?! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I've missed you guys tooooo! hahahh coming back with a bang!! hahah
@@XOMaCenna A bang indeed!
Oh my gosh I lost it when you started happy-crying with your mom. I happy-cried too. I am so excited for you and Romeo!! You two deserve it. You worked so hard to make this dream a reality and it is so incredibly inspiring. 💛✨

This! 🤩
Same reasons I watch her channel. I love her and the whole family. She’s so awesome and positive and she’s so refreshing and inspiring ❤
@@AvidMari23Totally! She’s absolutely a joy to watch!
OMG!! Congratulations! The house is beautiful. I would totally make the downstairs bedroom the office and take the upstairs bedroom, especially if you want the other room to be the nursery. Can't wait to see your little touches in the house.
I thought the same, and the downstairs bath would be more practical (and accessible; walking through an office rather than someone’s private bedroom is so much less awkward), for visitors. The upstairs could then be the family sanctuary. 😌
That’s a great idea! I was like wait there’s no downstairs bathroom and the baby will be on the second floor? But that solution is perfect
Yes! This would be the perfect configuration ❤
When your mom came in for a hug, I felt that. So happy and excited for you! Congratulations! And Happy New Year!
Your mums reaction is just so pure 🥹 congratulations on your gorgeous new home 🤍
Omg that moment when she walked in at 18:35, I just started crying.😢 So happy for @XOMaCenna & Romeo!
your moms reaction is priceless .. She is everything 🤗i'm holding my breath watching the house tour ..
when you said that there could be a nursery i just cried. i’m a new mom, we bought our flat while i was pregnant and i know the feeling, when you know that there is finally space for your child, their own safe space, just for them to fill with joy and love. I am in tears, i wish you both so well 😭🥰😍♥️

This home is STUNNING!! I did not know that a beautiful home with this character actually existed in LA. I am thrilled for you and Romeo.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Here I was thinking poor Macenna needed a holiday but damn girl, you been busy! Congratulations to you both and thank you for sharing your joy with us xx
What an absolutely stunning house! It's like a movie house, full of character and charm and one that just looks loved and lived in even with it empty. I can't wait to see how this one progresses :)
It’s like your own secret garden! How magical! So excited for you ❤
I thought of the Secret Garden too, and what Joy two Little Children would be Dreaming in of...their Futures 😘🥰❤️
Omg Exactly!!
I don’t think you could’ve found a better house than this. It fits your vibe so well and it looks so dreamy! Congratulations MaCenna!!! 🥺🤍🤍🤍
When you showed your mom I immediately started crying omg, I am so immensely happy for y’all!!!❤
I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to consistently show up on TH-cam to share everything house-related - but THANK YOU! I’ve been following you since the DIY macrame and thrift flip days and it has been such a joy to watch you evolve from where you started (which was already awesome) to where you are now. I adore your cottage and I can’t wait to see how you bring your new LA home to life. Congrats on everything you’ve worked hard for and accomplished ! 😍
All of the greenery is what makes this house so special as well! Absolutely amazing feeling and there seems to have been so much thought out into the details, by people who actually lived in the space. I’m very excited!
Congratulations!!! I’m obsessed! This is the cutest home!!🤍🙊
Oh gosh Hi Kristen! 😍
Omg you made me cry when the reality of owning the home hit you!!! We are all so happy for you, the house is absolutely stunning!!! If this is a future family home for you and Romeo, eventually turn the downstairs suite into the guest suite/office space etc and turn upstairs into your primary suite so you are close to the future nursery :) I love the character and quirkiness, it's absolutely stunning. Congratulations!!! Xx
I thought that also. Yet, you keep your baby in your room until they sleep through the night and move to own room. A baby monitor solves that issue. It is when they are toddlers that being upstairs and parents down can be a problem.
OMG this is definitely your home! It has such a vintage Mediterranean vibe, the light is beautiful and the garden is gorgeous. I am so happy and excited for you and Romeo. Kinsley will be very happy in her new home. Well done my friend!
OMG MaCenna this house was MEANT FOR YOU
I literally screamed when I saw the notification. Congratulations on your new home MaCenna, Romeo and Kingsley. I'm so overjoyed with this news. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and warming up this chaotic and sometimes cruel world that we live in. So excited to see what this already beautiful house will transform in once you make it a home. My very best wishes for you and your family ❤️
Oh MaCenna!!!!! Tears flowing!!! I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy for someone!! Congratulations to you and Romeo. 💜
A huge congratulations to both of you, the home tour is just stunning. I can just feel the love that will be in this home and has probably been there since it's building in the 1930s. I wish you and Romeo both the best ♥️♥️♥️
MACENNA!!!! Holy shit! This is AMAZING! I'm beyond excited for you! Thank you for letting us see a glimpse into your life. This next chapter is going to be beautiful and I can't wait to see how you will grow. I'm someone who loves interior decorating, DIY projects, crafting, etc but I haven't been able to do much of that lately. I'm disabled/chronically ill, and in the last year or so, I have had to let a lot of my dreams go. I won't bore you will all the medical talk. Just let me say- thank you for giving me a reason to smile and look forward to every Sunday. It truly does make my day a little brighter when you post. I know parasocial relationships are weird and I hope it didn't sound creepy. Anyway, thank you! And I'm so excited for you! Much love!!🤍
I hope it gets better for you! Hugs from another spoonie
@@amara560 you're so sweet. Thank you!! 🤍
This was such an emotional rollercoaster for me at first. I’ve been following you for a few years now and I can’t express how happy I am for you, forever learning and living vicariously through you! Happy New Year ♥️
I honestly got teary watching this. Absolutely so excited for you guys! I just picture that informal living space eventually being a playroom and your future kiddos playing secret garden in the backyard. Congrats!
The Texas house is a dream…I can’t believe that the Texas house is not your for ever home…
This is a cute home & since it’s in California I’m sure it was quite expensive.
It was confusing to see you decorating this California home and I had to search what the story was.
I guess there must be other draws about California that aren’t clear to me. People are fleeing California and moving up to Coeur d’Alene Idaho where we live.
You do a great job with design and loving up the home and I seen how this California home is coming together. The pool is fantastic very retro.
They were already living in California and Romeo is from there. They didn’t just move there.
How have you found my dream home, TWICE? The home is so beautiful, i can’t even. OMG I started to tear up when your mom went in to hug you. Congratulations! ❤
I am so happy and excited for you guys. This is amazing. I love how quaint and quirky it is (I find most modern houses fairly boring) and how fantastic that it’s so private and sealed off. That’s a huge plus for me. I really like the little panes in the windows and doors, so cute. It gives me warm storybook vibes. As much as I love watching the progress on the cottage I am just as excited about seeing you arrange all your things in your new home. Congratulations to you both. You should be so proud. This is huge.
Oh my god this is so exciting! Congratulations on your beautiful new home!
thank youuuu!
MaCenna, that house is a DREAM. I could go on and on, but I think that just sums it up…a dream. My favorite part is the back yard. I would clear out the section up the brick walk and make it a hammock hidden in a flower garden situation. ❤️congrats!
Girl, we were all crying together!!! We are all proud of you and excited for all the great videos that are to come! May this home be a blessing for you and your family! May it be filled with love and laughter! ❤

Omg I’m screaming this house is stunning! All the character details, a POOL!! Omg I’m crying to see you and Romeo finding a dream home in LA I can’t wait to see what you do decorating wise CONGRATULATIONS ❤🎉
We moved into a smaller home and have a pool for the first time. It’s expensive to maintain, but after almost 4 years of no vacations because of COVID, the pool makes this home (our only home) a vacation home. We use it a lot and our daughters and daughter-in-law love to come visit and hang out around (and in) the pool.
It’s also lovely to just sit by it and have the water soothe and calm us. Macenna and Romeo are going to love it!
O M G!!! This house is sooo beautiful! It fits your personality so well I am so happy for y’all!🥹🥹idk if the wall between the kitchen & dining room is structural or not but if it were me, I’d knock that down and make a larger kitchen then you could always add a pantry! And then use the informal living room/family room as the dining room!
That is the homiest home I have seen in a long time. So happy for you!
I couldn't be more proud if this was one of my kid's new home. Congratulations and here's to many years of happiness as your family grows.
This feels very Nancy Meyers romcom movie house! Love it! I can’t wait to see you decorate and design!
She's BACK!
I'm so happy for you!!! I am so excited to see how you decorate this place! It has so much potential to be the the perfect home for you and your future family!
Oh MaCenna! This is storybook perfection! I am beyond thrilled for you and Romeo! What an absolutely perfect place to start your family! Congratulations!
This is such a beautiful house, inside and out! So much character! Congratulations and I wish you and Romeo so much happiness for this next chapter in your lives! ❤🎉
Macenna, I am so happy for you both! I KNEW there would be a new home reveal after the holidays - I suspected it when your mom came to visit you in LA!!
The house is stunning!! Would you think about having the office downstairs in the Master and having your master bedroom upstairs where you plan to have the office? The reason being, when you start a family, you will want your bedroom to be as close to the nursery as possible? It would make the upstairs the sleeping suite and naturally divide the home. Also the dinning room could be turned into a pantry with downstairs powder room??
Just my thoughts, but I know whatever you do with the home will be so special! X
I literally just cried when your mom stopped and went to hug you. So happy for you guys! This house is literally goals! The rose garden 🤤 I can’t wait to see what you do 🤍
THIS IS ALL SO EXCITING!!
Ok! You should consider knocking down the wall between the dining room and kitchen so you can get all the light and view from the windows and it would make you kitchen feel bigger and you can still have a long dining table. Just an idea!!! Can’t wait to watch what you do to the house🎉
AND who wouldn’t want to see the pool while cooking?! Eek I can’t wait to watch!!

Wow! I am so happy for you two! This is so exciting.
Every time I think “oh my goodness Macenna does so so much, I have no idea how she does it all”, you come and hit us with something else.
Please tell me how you do this. You’re awesome.
So beyond happy for you! Buying a home that feels like a dream come true is an overwhelming feeling and it's just an amazing time in life. I'm two years in and I still feel so lucky for my home. Enjoy this new exciting chapter!
Omg, I’m 2 seconds in and I’m so dang excited and happy for you both!! It’s so gorgeous! ❤❤
All your dedication and hard work has paid off and you both deserve this so much! What a wonderful start to 2023 for you and Romeo! 🎉🎉
thank you SO much we are so happy and excited for this new chapter!
@@XOMaCenna MaCenna, I have a kind of crazy but yet awesome idea for that space up behind the lemon trees... what if in one corner you cleared it out and you put a hot tub with a wire-like or metal gazebo type of thing over it that vines can grow up and over it. You could add fairy lights, maybe some pretty hanging outside ornaments! It would be like a private little whimsical oasis and still have room on the other side for a little herb garden! Just some thoughts... love your home and I'm so happy for you! It's truly a beautiful place and I know you will make it even more so! Best of luck to you and you family and this new journey of life you are on ❤️
Wow... this storybook cottage is my dream home. So cozy, with all the windows and bump outs... the stairway, the brick floors. I can't wait for this journey. I will live vicariously through you! I would move in, make it feel like home, and take awhile to just be one with the universe. We can wait for all the updates later!! Take time to smell the roses. Also in the little kitchen, space near the back door, I could see a tall bar table with two stools. Small footprint,, enough for coffee and breakfast with Romeo. This home is beyond charming!!!
Congratulations! Totally not what I was expecting for your first video back, but I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time. Im so happy for you both 💜 can’t wait to see you put your stamp on your gorgeous new home!
Congratulations on your beautiful new home. You two have worked so hard for this and it’s well deserved.
I just had a feeling you had found a home, and I'm so glad you found your dream place. Can't wait to see how you personalize your home. Congratulations!!!!
Me too, how your going to decorate it .
Your day by day work on the cottage has been so inspiring/beautiful, but this style of your actual home you just purchased in CA is stunning!!!!!!
Loved your mom's reaction! She's such a bundle of joy to begin with. Love the new home! It's so.. California! The only thing that could make me happier for you & Romeo is a pregnancy announcement. I have a feeling that's coming this year. Congrats!
I am so happy for you and Romeo, it is such a big step owning a home and to be able to plan for your future. You both deserve this, thank you for sharing, your house looks so interesting, can't wait for the decorating to begin.
I feel so happy for you. It crazy how you can feel like you know someone just by watching them for so long. When you talked about starting a family soon I cried because I’m just soo happy all of your dreams are coming true!!
omg the sinks!! It is totally a sign that it was meant to be!! Congratulations to you!!
AHHH - WHEN I TELL YOU I CLICKED SO FAST SEEING THE TITLE
So proud of you and everything you’ve accomplished!! I’ve loved watching you grow over the years and you are truly an inspiration and role model for my 23 year old self!! 😊🫶
What a magical beautiful home!! So bright and cheery, so much personality already! Perfect for your new life ventures, new family additions, too many things to mention! So happy for you and Romeo!!
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS HOUSE! The style, the fireplace, the layout,the pool, the outdoor space and the gardens! Your Searching and waiting brought you and Romeo the perfect home. And I love your sweet mother. You have TH-cam content for years! ❤CONGRATULATIONS!
Cried SO MANY times through out this video!! Congratulations MaCenna, Romeo & Kinsley!! The home is so beautiful and I can’t wait to follow this next chapter of your journey! ❤️ it’s so magical!
I love how you and Romeo balance the sheer love and passion that y'all have for being near your families and building your dreams together! It feels like so much intentionality goes into how y'all love each other and are blending your families. Happy that y'all are taking us all along on this journey! Happy new year and hope your vacation went well!!!!!
Congratulations Macenna and Romeo! This is fantastic! I'm so excited for you and your future. I'm so proud of you guys and it's time you stop making me tear up.
It's everything! Home!!! Cozy, inviting and beautiful. So incredibly happy for you and your family.
I'm in the very beginning stage of looking for a new house, and between the secret garden vibes outside and the unbelievable charm of the house itself, I could honestly weep with envy😂 Congratulations! Can't wait to see how y'all make it your own.
I couldn’t be happier for you guys. The house is gorgeous and is so quaint. It is so homey. I definitely can see you two starting a family here. I can’t wait to see your touch on the house. Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈 to the both of you. I love it. It has so much character. It looks like a house that would see in a movie, it’s that adorable!
MaCenna, you are by far my favorite creator on this platform. I have been watching you for years and you never fail to blow my mind with the things you choose to share with us. I can’t wait to see the magic you bring to this place. Congrats girl!🎉
AMEN! Definitely my favorite.
MaCenna, I teared up when you did! It’s so wonderful you found your dream home! I’m in Long Beach and am a California native and while my home is by no means a dream I’m just grateful to own a home here! Congratulations to you and Romeo and I can’t wait to see how you decorate and all of the upcoming DIYs! ❤
This is what I like, greenery. You have all these people who are flipping homes and get rid of all the greenery and lay sod and it just looks so boring. This looks magical. I love it I can see her drinking her coffee in the summer in her garden.
AHHHH MACENNA!!! I am BEYOND excited for you and Romeo! This next chapter for y’all is so exciting and thank you so much for sharing your big news. 🤍🤍
Congratulations to you both. You’ve worked so hard for this “forever home”. ❤
I was not expecting this to be your return video omg!! Literally screaming, congrats to both you and Romeo and of course little Kingsley 💕
Love the bones of this house! It has so much character and can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Suggestion for the kitchen, I feel like you could remove the wall between the dining and kitchen space to open it up more, which would give the dinning space better lighting and not feel so closed in. Then remove the French doors that go to the front of your house, bring your cabinets along that wall and under the windows, you could even bring the cabinets on the other side as well and then add an island! Honestly, just so excited for you both and again, can’t wait to see what you guys do with it!!
As a fan for more than 8 years I’m crying with excitement! We have heard you talk so much about this dream of yours and look at you accomplishing it! Also, Im so ready for all the things and you have for decorating! Can’t wait for you to inspire me decorating since I also just bought my first apartment 🥹🥰
I love your new house!!! If open the kitchen wall to the dining room and put bar stools there. I’d use the formal living room as my dining room. Love that you have a new project house that you can change in your own time.
Thank goodness you're back! To say I've been checking this page for a new video a few times a week...you're just a whole vibe MaCenna. So happy for you & Romeo! Yay!
What an incredible property in any state! I'm so happy for you!! This is the year
What a beautiful home. You must both be so excited. I can’t wait to see what you do with it. I am surprised you don’t have the master suite in the room you are giving your Mom. It’s so pretty and feels more private to downstairs. I would put Romeo’s office in the room downstairs and have the nursery and your room upstairs. ❤
This home is so Macenna! I can just see how beautifully Macenna will decorate this house and turn it into a home 😍
I've never clicked on a video faster in my life 😂 mom's reactions always have a way of making our "big moments" really sink in ❤️ so excited for you both and can't wait to see how you style everything! That dual fireplace is amazing and your back yard is a literal dream 😍
Just watching this video now, catching up. I’ve lived in Southern California my whole life, born and raised in LA, now living just outside LA County. I can’t even imagine what this home cost, it’s so pretty and such a nice change from the standard flat land you see in so many homes on TH-cam. Whatever you do to it, you’re going to add so much more value to it, all while making it a beautiful home. I love all the natural lighting and all those French doors are so pretty. Congratulations! Now on to more videos of this gorgeous home.
Just by the intro and the first few minutes into the video, and I’m in love with the home. I love double sided fireplaces, it’s so special you have one, I totally see this being a family home, especially with the layout configurations you’re looking into. I love this for you guys!!!
I’m excited for the future and looking into our forever home as well and making our dreams a reality.
Congratulations on your new home! 🎉 The realisation you had when you mom visited for the first time was beautiful and pure to see! Enjoy this new journey and here’s to making memories! 🥂
omg congratulations!! this is so wonderful im so so excited for u guys
thank you so much!
Ok, I just gotta say, turn the dinning room into a butlers pantry and then turn your formal living room into the new dining room. That way you get a pantry and more room for your dinning room 😊
Oh and put a bar cart where the breakfast nook is, that will free up some cabinet and counter space 😊
