Your garden is what dreams are made of. I’m not a jealous person but your garden tests me
Hahahha 🥰
😅😂😂 it’s beautiful
With MaCenna you just have to trust the process. I’m just going to watch and trust her, what she’s done at the cottage is testament of greatness
MaCenna curing my trust issues one DIY at a time 😌😅❤️
McCenna, people who are blessed with your kind of color perception actually are born with extra cones in the eye that pick up the nuances. You most likely inherited that from your mom since she has this blessing also.
I have this also! People can’t believe how many shades I see in every colour. It explains why you have such fantastic design ability.
Omg wow I had no idea!
Yeah....No, I don't have that...wish I did. I struggle with color.
There is a test you can take to confirm that. I tested and got tetrachromats (4cones) which apparently a quarter of the population has. Again not sure how accurate these tests are but fun to try
I work in buying at a large retailer and they make you take the test before you get the job to check you’re not colourblind and to see your level of accuracy! You have to put 200 chips in order, but they’re all ever so slightly darker or lighter than each other !
You could always try haven of coziness at 75-85% to keep the undertones you love but take the moodiness down a notch! It’s looking beautiful!!
I just jumped on to suggest this same thing. Great minds think alike 😋
I didn’t know you could do that 🎉
Yep, came here to comment this as well!
Came here to say the same thing!!!!
Gotta speak up as an classic LA old home owner (mine is an early cape cod) Rounding the arches changes the era and timeline of the design. I believe making them rounded makes them more Spanish rather than the French look you are going for and/or the original design of the house. Do what makes you happy but maybe research more if you want to stay true to the time and design of the home.
There appears to have been so many changes to her home that I have yet to pinpoint the style.( usually pretty good at it)😔🤨🤔
Happy Sunday Everyone!!! ❤ 😊
Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday!❤
And to you my friend I offer many Blessings. OneLove ❣️
Happy Sunday, MaCenna.
I look forward to seeing the completion of your Entry room. This is very exciting. 😀
Been watching for years LOVE what you do! Always makes my day to watch your videos! You’re so uplifting and talented best wishes for the future of you and your family! You all are so sweet!
Thank you so much! That means the world to me
If you were to out a rusty nail in the soil next to your hydrangeas it will change the flowers to a different colour
When Romeo's gone for the day, grab a ladder (buy one if you need to and store it in the garage, you'll be using it 100x), get a furniture scraper and see if you can scrape off a chunk of the paint on one the beams. If it comes off easy, you'll know you a can start scraping one beam at time (then use paint stripper to get off the rest). If it doesn't come off easy, you can repaint what you've done and you'll know if you need to have beams professionally stripped.😉
Why does Romeo need to be gone for the day?🤔
@@amara560 Because MaCenna has hinted many times Romeo doesn't want to have a bunch of renos going at the new house.
@@dwagnerful I'd hardly call stripping a beam reno, but you do you.
@@amara560 Stripping beams is a big, messy undertaking. Obviously, you've never done it or you wouldn't be challenging me. Find someone else to bother, please.
@@dwagnerful "Challenging you" 😂 I said you do you, but I guess you can see a fight in anything if you want to
I'm thankful that I, too, see the subtle differences in the colors....both parents were artistic...as am I....and my passion was Interior Design....love your channel...😊❤
I love that you stop to smell the roses every once in a while. It seems like you are always building, creating, traveling and doing. Even though it’s all probably very fun and relaxing to you, it’s nice to enjoy the rewards of all your hard work.
Other nice thing with the garage is that if it starts to rain, you can close the door to not have another coffee table incident. lol
Love watching the whole process. I can see the paint color differences, it’s paying attention to all the little details that make it a success. Some call it over thinking, I call it perfection. Your flower garden is everything, gorgeous.💖
Yesssssssss
I had an electrician tell me years ago that when you buy an older home, sometimes you just need to go through and put in new plugs and sockets because electrical fixtures age over time and that could possibly be why your lights in the living room go on and off. Just sayin'
Macenna, roses sort of "breath in" when you cut them creating an "air pocket" at the tip of the cut end which prevents water from getting up the stem. To prevent this, cut from the bush, and then when arranging in a vase, snip about 1 more inch off, but do it under water. When you move them from the "cutting bowl" to the vase, they should have a drop of water stuck to the end of the stem. This will indicate that you did it correctly. This way they'll "breath in" water instead of air, and it won't prevent them from drinking up water. This will allow them to last longer. Also you can get cut flower food which will allow them to last longer too
This is so useful, thank you Lily!
Your house has probably gone through phases of renovation and extension which is why you've got some parts with trim and some with no trim and different flooring. My last home was built in 1921 and it had major renovations in the 50s and 90s and it was so interesting to work out what had been added and altered. It was almost like modern archeology figuring out the different phases of my home
My city keeps a record for every time a building permit has been issued. Maybe you could research your home’s history?
@@lauramitchell6725 I got a building report when I bought it so I knew when and what had been done. The fun part was looking at the doorways and figuring out if they used to be external doors or if they were added when the addition went in, or what trim was original and what they'd tried to match, or figuring out that the living room used to be the kitchen and one of the bedrooms used to be the living room.
@@GodessSiri Cool,wonder if MaCenna could do this?
Remember to dead head roses regularly down to first nodules and you’ll get second flowering
Hmmm… good to know. I just clip the ba-juju out of mine and they produce hundreds, it’s freaky really. I think the severe freeze ate about half of on of my rose bushes, gonna take it nearly to the ground and hope for better next year 😮
Your garden and home is something to be envious of. But truly, you deserve all of this, you work so hard.
Thank you so much! 🥰
Your garden is the most magical thing 🥺🤍
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you are softening the arches in those doors. It was one of the first things I noticed when you did the empty home tour at the beginning of the year.
For the stairway wall, I think board and batten would look gorgeous. You could even pull the wood and wood color from the top overhanging stair and extend that across the wall as a topper for the batten.
I think it would be really pretty to tile the fireplace with a darker moody tile. it would also be very accurate for a 1920s home! thank you for all your videos! they are really a light right now
Love your approach to keeping the home paint colors nice and harmonious!
I swear, you are the happiest,
Most cheerful person I know. How can I be like you?! 🥰
I found your channel a few months ago and am now so addicted that I subscribed and find myself re-watching old shows while waiting impatiently for the new ones. I'm hoping that some of your energy and talent will flow magically through my tablet into me!
Awwww hahahha welcome to the family! 🥰
Another way to add hight with transoms, we did that when we did a reno and as our home is Victorian the light is better!
McCenna, have you thought of doing an opening under the stairs. It could be for storage or bookcases. Just a thought
The way MaCenna is talking while in bed is so relaxing, its like she is telling a bedtime story ^_^
I love how your Texas accent slightly fades when you come back to LA. It's so funny how we can switch that part of our brains on and off without even trying. 🧡
Isn’t that wild! It not even something I notice either it just happens haha
Love that mocha colored set! The pants are okay to be that loose - they're gonna be the best maternity clothes in the future 🤌🏻👌🏼
Keeping my fingers crossed hahah
Just what I was thinking!
Can you create a doorway from the garage into your home along that adjoining wall to the house, anywhere on that wall? That would really make life a lot easier.
The big space of the stairs wall would be so pretty of a really pretty book case. Not a deep one just a “romantic” style 😂😂😂 I think your one of the few ppl who understand my verbiage 😊
As time as gone on, I've found myself saving your videos to be the "special moments" where I can really sit and watch, not just listen.
I've just finished eating a Pittsburgh chicken salad on my patio in the unusually cool 72° early evening of the Charleston, SC metro. From my poolside Adirondack chair I'm admiring my hydrangeas very intense blue blooms, the red sunset peeking through our magnolia tree leaves, with a cappuccino in hand. My gardenia, named after the former owner of the land I live on, is blooming and greets me with its scent when I walk out my front door and from my nightstand.
You so often have been my reminder to "keep moving forward" in making our house our home, but I thank you for the recent reminders to live slow and take in the moment. Slainté! To the moments we've worked for to make the present we've created.
Another fun color to play with (maybe front door) since you have the teal lamp shades is Benjamin moore Salamander, it's a near black teal, my absolute favorite paint color
I love that you’re not doing a full on arch in the walkways as even though arches are way cool, they have been done a fair bit and I am a bit biased as I have an archway similar to yours in my 1970’s home 😂 when you are talking about half your house being a little different to the other side, maybe they were built at different times, hence why some have trim and the other doesn’t, it’s not unusual to have extensions in older homes. Love what your doing with the LA home by the way, feels so cosy
Love the black/brown. You have a great eye. Your whole ability to conceptualize the rooms and finished project whether it’s the building or a small floral arrangement, is spot on! Keep doing your thing. Much love to you all.
Thank you so much!
I suspect that the trim vs no trim, and the changes in flooring material document the fact that your home was constructed in several different phases. That would help explain odd roof lines, as well.
I love the black on the fireplace & the darker green that was on the far right when you were holding them up.
I have seen furniture makers bend 1/2” plywood by placing some relief cuts every 1/2” in the back of the board. Kind of similar to how when a seamstress cuts notches into a curved seam. It really makes a nice curve in the wood.
20:47 MaCennas nerd side everyone 😂😂 sound effects and everything!❤
You need to make an access from the inside of the house to the garage. Much more convenient and Safer.
You totally lucked out in that house. With all those beautiful roses. And starting out with beautiful Kinsley, what a gorgeous way to wake up with a cup of coffee, then stroll through your beautiful garden. WOW.
Check out the IOD molds that you can make yourself with either clay or resin. They have a lot of beautiful detailed ones that might work perfect for your stairs.
Omg looking this up right now! Thank youuuuu
I love your little green outfit--that's my favorite shade of green! I once painted an accent wall that color. On the subject of archways--years ago my then-husband and I had to put in an arch. We used doorskins, which bend very easily. But the difference in our case was no wood trim; we scored drywall and overlaid the arches with that. So I can see why you used regular wood, since you wanted a wood framework all around.
Your arches are going to be really beautiful once you are finished with them. I love your outdoor areas, all of the flowers!
FYI paint the underside of the cabinets white so they won’t cast yellowish light on your countertops.
I diy-ed a rolling work bench for my garage for my miter saw to sit on. It's the best decision I have made in a while! You should think about it!
'one of the most tragic things i know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. we are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon- instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today' -dale carnegie (so happy to see you enjoying your home + garden!!)
I just love these kind of slow pased videos its like i'm there with you i'm in bed watching this and it feels like i'm haveing a late night chat with my older sister you feel like family to me watching you brings me joy i can feel your excitement through the screen you are an inspection to me macenna love you take care love you xoxo
Thank you so much for your comment!!!! 💕🥰
Loads of love from India❤❤❤
If you get time, deadhead your roses. Take off any that have lost their petals or are brown, cut back two leaves below. Many rose varieties continue to bloom all summer if you do this. But if you let the rose hips form the plant will think it’s done for the summer
I love your roses. I walk through my rose garden bed every morning first thing when I let the dog out. I love this time of the year.
Can't wait to see the front room come together. You inspire so many with your designs. Such a joy to watch and learn with you.
use the haven of coziness and get different percentages of tints so you can control the depth of color. I did a 75% of my color and with the lighting in the room it works perfectly.
Hello there! I know you love to cut flowers from your garden to have in your home, but when they start to wilt and can't go back, dry them upside down in a shady spot with open air 😊 you can hang them up as what I think they call a wall "swag" or just put them right side up again if you wanted. I think hanging them upside down while dry is gorgeous. Or maybe even put them back where they came from, but on the ground :D
Totally feel you when you say it feels like you have two separate houses. We’ve just moved in to a fixer-upper and it’s crazy. Different colour plug sockets and light switches in different rooms, some windows timber and some uPVC 😂. I don’t know where to start ha!
The inheritance games series is so good. I flew through them the first time I read them.
One of the things I love about you and your content is how much gratitude you show for the life you have. You have worked hard to get what you have, but you have so much more privilege (and money, let's be honest) than most people can dream of having. Yet you never act like you take any of it for granted. I love that.
Also, thanks for sharing those cute Amazon sets! I'm spending my summer mostly indoors studying to take the DC bar. I like to wear things that feel comfortable, but also put together since it makes me feel more focused than if I'm just wearing pajamas. Those sets look like exactly what I'm looking for!
Kind regards from Germany. Put the roses in lukewarm (lukewarm) water and cut them diagonally at the bottom - this way the conduction channels remain open.
Harmony, cohesion helps with flow...also paint colors & trim. You got it!!!
Good morning, MaCenna. Not sure if u know this...
When u cut ur flowers. Make sure u put them in really cold water. It helps the blooms stay longer. Also, I was shown, that when u cut them, kind of crush the end of the stems..( I use the handle of my scissors).. on a hard surface...like the counter top...just a couple of times. It helps w the water soaking in the stems better. Just an FYI❤....ur roses r BEAUTIFUL. .so envious. 🥲
Omg thank youuuuuu all the tips welcome! Definitely going to do that!
The Inheritance games is such a fun series!
Loved the vid, you can shorten the rise in the pants. Use safety pins to to safely pin the seam. You don't want to go more than a 1/4 inch or so. If you use the seam from the waist band (front to back) you shorten the waist height. If you use the seam of the legs (side to side) it brings up the inseam. Wash and dry them first in case of shrinkage tho.
Happy Sunday 🦋MaCenna so much God has created around you beautiful. 🏡🦋💝
MaCenna is a woman of many talents but I’d have to say, I’m quite impressed by the lightsaber sound effect 😊
18:45 you could use that green for a cool outside take by the pool! And blue for super blue pool shots!!
I have followed you for several years and everything you have done has been amazing ❤❤❤❤. I am in awe at your talent and skills in so many different facets of remodeling. This home is so beautiful almost like it should be in a country side in England or France because of the gardens ❤❤❤❤can’t wait till next Sunday 😊
I love seeing your comments!!! I always recognize you from your thumbnail! Thank you so much!!!! && I totally agree it also feels that way too like I’m not in the city like I’m at peace in the countryside … but I can also go down the street to the hardware store easily hahah 🥰
So lovely to hear that you are happy and at peace 😊
Our living room is Clary Sage by Sherwin Williams...love it ..medium olive green..I also found Zephyr by dutch boy..very light olive..
Used this in our kitchen, I think it is the perfect sage!
Mark my words this girl is going to be a full fledged Gardner as soon as she starts planting. Especially if/ when she discovers David Austin roses. I caught the bug in my mid 30s and everything inside became secondary. I found this channel to relearn how to make the inside pretty again.
I'm glad you are not changing dramaticly your archways, just slightly fixing the angle because I think they are more unique being a soft arch. It will look gorgeous. I love the black brown for the fireplace. I hope you do the door as well. It will look moody and sophisticated and balanced with the fireplace. I would go with the first paint color. Although I looove haven of coziness I agree it will read too dark. I still don't like the scale of the swivel chairs 😅
“Light Sabre…!”… MaCenna, your very being brings ‘perfect lighting’ into all of our lives throughout each of your videos from start to finish & I am profoundly grateful! ~Love that you are literally taking time to smell the flowers! Though these two powerful words seem so inadequate as I try to convey my gratitude, it is with pure joy that I…,
‘thank you!’
There is nothing better than a beautiful garden. I have live in my home for a full year and the previous owner was so smart in their plantings so there is colour and interest all year round. I love my old legacy garden. It’s winter in Australia and cold where I live so I can see the bulbs starting to poke up through the earth.
Have you thought of asking them to do haven of coziness but 50% (or whatever you choose) lighter to keep the undertones you love?
Did Maccena just casually show us that she drives a Range Rover ?? Love that 👏🏽
Omg, so happy you're reading Jennifer Lynn Barnes!!!! She's one of my fav authors!!!!! Hope you enjoy the book!!!
Thanks for showing the Texas cottage. I miss it so much😂
Have you looked up your homes renovation history? It seems to me like the rooms with brick were added on. Usually homes built in the 1920’s were a smaller footprint.
Love all the colours! I have been watching Her86 ( Thuy) for a few years now and I love her and her vlogs are so dreamy!
Does anyone else were just pain attention to Kingsley at the back while you Macenna were welcoming us? Sooo cute! 😍🥰🥰
You bring sunshine to gloomy day. Positivity and love to you, and all your loved ones ❤ Kinsley is so cute.
I used to be a teen services librarian and I LOVE The Inheritance Game series and really all that authors books. Hope you enjoyed it!
Happy Sunday ✨️ Love the black with the deeper green paint swatches MaCenna! Can't wait to see the next phase. Your lounge wear looks great!
Thanks for explaining about some people being able to see tones in color and some can't. My husband ( a designer) drives me nuts when picking out colors. He sees all these tones in things that I can't. When looking for a white paint for the kitchen in our first home (years ago) he literally brought a suitcase of white paint samples home. Now I understand! I do know that the colors on the walls in our homes always flow. Love how you are so willing to tackle jobs!
I love your content & all of your DIYS 😍 They inspired me to DIY my new nightstands!
Omg AMAZING!!!!! I bet they look awesome!
Have you thought of adding wood to the outside of the existing beams? (Constructed in the same fashion as the cottage.)
I am so excited and happy for you! What a beautiful home! I love all of the design and the oak! Can’t wait to see more videos! Love the pool too!! ❤
Wow, I've never seen hydrangeas that colour before, they're so vibrant! I love my small garden, so I can imagine the joy that yours brings!
Peace and harmony…. A wonderful theme. Love it!
Your house is so cozy lm sure all the projects you accomplish are going to be amazing... great vlog.❤
MaCenna you are a delight to watch and a ball of energy that radiates through your videos. Your garden and home are stunning, have a wonderful day from New Zealand xo
I also love Sherwin Williams sealskin, it's gorgeous and it's a blackish brown. I'm painting my kitchen lower cabinets in that color and all interior doors too on the exterior sides. I'm going to paint our post on the kitchen the same shade, later I want to cover the post in stone or faux stone wrap. Some day.
You will need to order a flexible radius trim for your doorways, it would be nice if it is similar in style to the existing door & window trims in your house.
MaCenna, suggestion, dry/preserves/press some of your flowers. I have flowers my grandmother and I preserved. They bring such memories.
Your roses are lovely! Remember to break of the dead buds, the the bush wil flower more!
When I watch your video it makes me feel comforted and makes me feel like everything in this world will turn all right.thank you God for giving us mcenna.
Your flowers are stunning!! Your videos are so well done!
I would pick a colour you like then try it in half and quarter strength if you feel it’s too dark❤️
I would wait until you wash the waffle pants before ordering more. Sometimes after washing a few times it fits better. If you get the medium and wash it you may not have the loose comfortable fit anymore. It does not look bad . They are cute!
I love the color you chose for the fireplace and haven of coziness together. That room would look great with board and batten all around to make it cottage style and tone down the California style. (Some day, a big, handsome guy is going to be very blessed to have you in his life.)
Love u MaCenna. I’m a cancerian too. Flowers, essential oils, fresh foods, love and family! 💕💖💞🌸💓💕💕💖💞🌸💓💖💗
💕💕💕💕💕
Your yard is so Beautiful !!! Thank You for another great video, can't wait to see how you do the trim, great idea mom!! Love all your new oufits. Hugs to sweet kinsley.
I love the green set!! You look more vibrant in colors other than nuetrals (in my humble opinion!)....
