As a “I’ve seen ever MaCenna video she’s ever posted” kind of viewer, I love that you bounce between projects and houses. I never have to second guess where you are or why things are finished. It makes you that much more relatable and makes us all feel human. Additionally, other than vlogmas, I couldn’t tell you which day of the week you upload or if you upload late. I don’t lose sleep over it but when I cozy up at night and I see your video in my subscriptions, you’re the first one I click! Don’t beat yourself up about the small things, you’re doing GREAT 🤍
I agree with this, too. I can tell immediately which house you are in and what projects you have going. No confusion. I think it is cute when you are in LA sharing your finds with mom.
I almost feel guilty watching you edit at 1:00AM! I’m sure I’m not alone in saying how much I appreciate all the work you do to put out content. Love your channel! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I agree with changing all the coverings around the house. We did that in our home, and it definitely is a big expense, but the payout is huge, in my opinion. It just elevates the home and takes that cheap, blah look away. I also wanted to say that as far as a viewer, I've never been confused as to where you are or questioned why you hadn't finished a certain project. I think it would have to be viewer's who are new or don't watch regularly otherwise I couldn't understand the issue as it's not complicated and regarding projects...again, if you watch and listen you always explain 'why' but I also realize this is your real life and not a TV production so again not sure why people can't follow along or put unrealistic expectations on real people. You have a crazy fast-paced life due to owning 2 homes in different states and the type of work you do. You are but 1 person. It's absolutely amazing what you accomplish. Not many could keep up, that's for sure.
I agree. I was taken aback. Wait...what?? Who are these people who can't keep up? I have seen them in the comments. Sometimes I've tried to help them. Other times it just annoys me so I scroll on. 😂
I don't think I've ever been confused about where you are or what you're working on. You pump out so much content for us that it's pretty straightforward I think!! I just get excited to see your videos whether you're in LA or Texas 🙌 xoxo
Would you ever make a built-in bench for the bay window? I feel like it would be SO cute, and I'm sure Kinsley would adore it. Just a thought, but maybe you've already considered it! Love your videos
Have fun in TX...BIG hugs to your Momma!!!❤ Work everything around your own comfort levels always...no pressure from followers...we are just along for the ride!!! THIS IS YOUR ONE & ONLY LIFE!!! LIVE IT WITH JOY🎉 &❤ &YOUR WONDERFUL CREATIVITY!!!😊
I would like a Kinsley video. What breed is she, how old is she, how did you come to be together, tell us more about how you travel with her. All things Kinsley… she is such a joy to watch as she “helps” you with your projects.
*McCenna, to get the red and the sting (PAIN) out of sunburn, apply straight WHITE VINEGAR to the sunburn with a soft cloth. White vinegar will also keep your skin from blistering and peeling IF APPLIED SOON (same day) the sunburn occurs. It's an old home remedy that REALLY WORKS❣️😁🌞*
It does work. When I was in high school, the thing was to apply Noxzema to the burn ASAP. It sort of liquifies and melts right in. I have the fairest skin and I burn EVERY time I'm in the sun for more than 10 minutes. I would put Noxzema on in late afternoon after coming home from the Club (we didn't have pools at home then where I lived) and I'd be pain feee and wake up the next morning tanned, no longer burnt and didn't peel. I'd do this several days a week! Yikes!
I live in Australia and have fair skin so I burn easily. My mother used to rub a tomato, which was cut in half, over the sunburn. The acid in the tomato would take the sting out of the sunburn. We never had sunscreen when I was a kid so we made do. Even now, and I am 69, I don’t deliberately go out in the sun unless I am covered up and slathered with 50 SPF.

I love the curtains Drew put in his lobby room....STUNNING! The color and texture were absolute perfection!! I just checked and they are called TWOPAGES...same ones you're looking at. I'm sure it will be GORGEOUS!
I LOVE your curtain color! I absolutely cannot to see the cottage again. It seems like forever! Also, a chance to see you with your sweet Momma. She us just the sweetest! I hope that you have a wonderful week a d find lots of treasures at the estate sales. I love your LA home but your cottage has my heart!!! Macenna you are the best!! I love all that you do. Everything that you touch turns into an absolute masterpiece!
I only recently found you and Ive been binge watching ev-ery-thing (including on your main channel) since before you bought the cottage. Who needs Netflix when we have such great content from you. Everything you set out to do simply has me in awe! Hope the heat in Texas isn't too bad for you... if only you could share some of it with us in the wet UK. Will be great to see your Mom too.
kinsley is so adorable how she brings you her toys for you to throw and waits ever so patiently for you to pick them up & throw them for her. she kept staring at it wait for you ...all while wagging her tail. SOOO CUTE. love your positivity McKenna! Look so forward to your videos!! Hope you had a safe trip and enjoying time with mom :)
My parents have bow windows with outside curtains. They never close them, but they joke that when I'll have kids they'll be able to do theatre performance in the bay. I feel like it makes the room more cozy and complete. Maybe you never close them for the outside, but for having a protected nook. Kind of a secret place to hang out. Anyway, great video as always. I'm a long time fan and I don't care if you jump around. We'll follow anyway ❤
Can’t wait to see you in Texas. Hopefully with your mom. I’ve been watching YOU in Netflix because you mentioned it once. What a wild show. Enjoy the day
When I moved in to my new place I switched out all the light switch plates and outlet covers. I found some beautiful bronze metal ones on Amazon. The light switch plates came in single, double and triple, of which I needed all. They are so beautiful and well made. And blend well with my neutral, rustic, cozy decor so well. And you are so right, they really elevate a home.
You should totally build a built in window bench with storage for kinsley to perch on top of and look out the front window. That way the space is more functional (plus you can put things like shoes and whatnot inside. Won’t be such a dead space and you can still add the curtains too. Plus reading nook? Only downside it takes up space that you would put your christmas tree in…maybe make it movable piece of furniture on hidden castors for Christmas season removal?
I bought 2 secondhand summer dresses to use as patterns. I wore one on my errands and three different men jumped in to help me. Goodness, I'm 69. Summer dresses are so much cooler than jeans.
While I very much enjoy seeing what you do in LA my heart is in Texas, so looking forward to seeing you back there, seeing your mum and an estate sale whoop! whoop! 🎉
Sometimes I have to watch the videos more than once, because the first time I’m watching Kinsley, sometimes doing something hilarious in the background!
Suggestion for your drapes. Go to Home Goods. You like to sew. Buy four panels. Sew two together for the left side and two together for the right side. Just did that for $40. Beautiful fabric. 96" long.
My dermatologist said the down side to spray sunscreen is you miss spots. You should always rub in the spray to cover all spots. I’ve had a melanoma so I’m very careful.
Agreed and a lot of the time people will use the correct sunscreen but not reapply often enough. I’ve had two melanomas and lost my brother to this too. Remember to apply and reapply often ❤
Oh my, I’m so with you on the buying clothes. I’m also a fashion designer and I prefer buying for other and not so much for myself ( I’m too critical). Love the outfits and the makeup looks great. Also we have done curtains on outside of bay windows, extended past the wall and raised the rod plus added a cute rod end so it looks like frame art/interesting feature. Safe journey
Molding/casing around the front door and windows could possibly help make that wall fill out more and feel more dramatic, plus march the style of the arched doorways and intricate stairs!
You should do a diy project and decorate those switch plates, you could cut little pieces of fabric or lace, decoupage a beautiful antique napkin or paper napkin over it. You're so talented and so Creative I know you would nail it👌!! It would be so much fun to watch how creative you would get with each room!! Can't wait to see your mom and the cottage in Texas😄
Hi! I have a great curtain option for you! Ikea curtains are commonly 96”, then get the triple pleat hooks, and pretty much any rod or rail you like. Save tons of $$. I did something similar at my house, but had them hemmed at the dry cleaners because our windows are weird.
I love everything you do and is beautiful. But one thing I don't understand is why some homes have the dining room at the entrance of the house it doesn't make no sense to me.
I love draperies!! They add softness and absorb noise. I like your selection of fabric but can l suggest you get them lined. They hang so much nicer and protect the fabric. The price they quoted was pretty good for that size of treatment. Have fun in Texas
You are right on with the drapery for the bay window but don’t forget about the drop of the ring if you using a rod with rings. As a designer I think a dark metal rod with same rings would add detail to the space. Also, your small window left of the door I would do a Roman shade of the same fabric. Drapery adds such elegance, definitely completes a room.
I always put my curtains like you are planning on my bay I did it 7 years ago when I moved in I’m well chuffed seeing you doing same I feel totally validated!!
It's how my mom did the curtains in a bay window on one of our houses in about 1969. The house was built (finished) in 1967 and our bay was enclosed with a window seat. She started with cafe curtains from halfway down to the window seat. Then had two glass shelves all around the bay in the windows that held colored glass pieces - Fenton, Murano, etc. She hated the cafe curtains in her formal living room and ripped them down and replaced them with the scenario you're going with and added another glass shelf half way up on the bottoms of the wi goes for more glass. That was our privacy. She never liked the full length curtain with the window seated bay and toyed with having it all ripped out and having it rebuilt like yours - an open bay, but she didn't feel she could justify the cost. By 1990, she'd have just put shutters up and let it go if she'd still been there!
Seeing small glimpses of you working behind the scenes on your computer makes me wonder how you juggle your work schedule. I would love a highlight reel of how you plan it all. I love your videos and creative work, its so inspiring seeing you grow your businesses ❤️
Sooo we were flying through LAX today and I saw a flight coming from San Antonio during our lay over, so we were hopeful to see you flying back to LA, but no luck. My 12 year old daughter was super excited at the idea of meeting you!♥️
This vlog reminded me that you do everything yourself including filming and editing. I don't know where you find the energy knowing that you always give us high quality content.
You may know this from Drew, but the Twopages curtains are pretty heavy( about 12 lbs each). I ordered two lined 100”x98” each. My rod would not hold them. It bowed and a bracket came out of the wall. I ordered a new rod that came in smaller sections that screw together and it claims to hold up to 40-something pounds. The curtains are almost too much for the new rod! I made sure the brackets are all in studs plus I purchased two more brackets for added support. The curtains do look custom.
Way back in the 1950's my family and I lived in an old Georgian house in Dublin, and on of the rooms we rented had a huge bay window. The bay was so huge that we fit a large (six seater) oval dining table in it. This was in the days before double glazing, and I remember that we had floor to ceiling velvet curtains that drew across the outside of the bay, closing off the table. So that kind of curtain is definitely a thing.
Hey MaCenna, are you sure you don’t want to line those draperies? I say that because you’ll see the wall through the sheer, plus there will be light shining through the other inside edge. Also without lining your panel drapery color will fade. i always advised my clients to line draperies.
When packing framed art, it's not a bad idea to cris-cross packing tape over the glass. Then if the glass gets shatters, it doesn't damage the art or get everywhere.
I used to work for my mom at a drapery business. If you are wondering if that price is good for custom draperies, it is. 😃 When you start pricing fabric and compare it to something like wood blinds, usually people choose the wood blinds. Also, your fabric stack is about 1/3 the total width. That will help you for calculating how much of the fabric you want on and off the window opening. Can’t wait to see how they’ll look🥰
Oh my goodness, my Sheltie dog, Cooper is the same way. He hates the vacuum, lawnmower, air nail gun, etc. He attacks the vacuum, freaks out when my husband cuts the grass. But..he is the sweetest boy, lol.
For your outlet and light switch covers, try the screw less ones. I used them and they just make it look so much better. And you can get them in different colors.
Ooh, I'd totally be doing a deep forest green for the curtains, pulling something from your painting over the fireplace! But i know whatever you choose is going to be lovely!
Thank you so much for sharing your thinking behind choosing colors in your renovations and decor! I really love decorating but I’ve always struggled with understanding how to chose colors/metal finishes/wood stains. Just in the time I’ve been watching your videos I’ve noticed it’s been so much easier to make choices that fit well with each other and give the feeling I want! I still struggle but you’ve really helped!
i think a dark olive green (almost brown) would be a very pretty color for the curtains as well! but the one you picked is also nice for a more subtle look.
Would you not like to replace the artwork above the console table with a mirror for a ‘final check’ on your way out the door? I’d leave the artwork above the fireplace, unless you want a mirror to reflect the light from the window.

Curtains also help the acoustics in the room by absorbing sound.

So when you were in the living room all I could see was Kinsley demanding you pick up her toy and then getting off the couch to get it herself!!! 😂
Oh my god I’m so glad I saw this comment before I got to that part of the video or I would’ve missed it! Kinsley is seriously such a princess

Add some bamboo shades or some drapes Roman shades on the inside for even more dimension and texture!
Yeah mom! I can’t wait! Loving the curtains I actually have that color in my bedroom.
You should totally diy a Bay window seat!!! would look super cute with the flowy curtains and make more seating in the room :)
Molding/casing around the front door and windows could possibly help make that wall fill out more and feel more dramatic, plus march the style of the arched doorways and intricate stairs!
You should do a diy project and decorate those switch plates, you could cut little pieces of fabric or lace, decoupage a beautiful antique napkin or paper napkin over it.

Gloomy day here in Maryland so this made my day. Love that you are going back to the Cottage for a while😊

Then had two glass shelves all around the bay in the windows that held colored glass pieces - Fenton, Murano, etc. She hated the cafe curtains in her formal living room and ripped them down and replaced them with the scenario you're going with and added another glass shelf half way up on the bottoms of the wi goes for more glass. That was our privacy. She never liked the full length curtain with the window seated bay and toyed with having it all ripped out and having it rebuilt like yours - an open bay, but she didn't feel she could justify the cost. By 1990, she'd have just put shutters up and let it go if she'd still been there!
Seeing small glimpses of you working behind the scenes on your computer makes me wonder how you juggle your work schedule. I would love a highlight reel of how you plan it all. I love your videos and creative work, its so inspiring seeing you grow your businesses ❤️
So excited to see you and your mom together again! ❤
Omg Kingsleys barking lol 😂
Hey! I wonder if you could do a resin project for those nesting tables and dry out some of the flowers from your garden
Ooooh🙌🏻
Sooo we were flying through LAX today and I saw a flight coming from San Antonio during our lay over, so we were hopeful to see you flying back to LA, but no luck. My 12 year old daughter was super excited at the idea of meeting you!♥️
It's just like visiting with Macenna at home I really feel you make us all feel like friends ❤
I just sit down and this came out, yey!
This vlog reminded me that you do everything yourself including filming and editing. I don't know where you find the energy knowing that you always give us high quality content.
My favorite videos of yours is your Texas home.
You may know this from Drew, but the Twopages curtains are pretty heavy( about 12 lbs each). I ordered two lined 100”x98” each. My rod would not hold them. It bowed and a bracket came out of the wall. I ordered a new rod that came in smaller sections that screw together and it claims to hold up to 40-something pounds. The curtains are almost too much for the new rod! I made sure the brackets are all in studs plus I purchased two more brackets for added support. The curtains do look custom.
Way back in the 1950's my family and I lived in an old Georgian house in Dublin, and on of the rooms we rented had a huge bay window. The bay was so huge that we fit a large (six seater) oval dining table in it. This was in the days before double glazing, and I remember that we had floor to ceiling velvet curtains that drew across the outside of the bay, closing off the table. So that kind of curtain is definitely a thing.
Hey MaCenna, are you sure you don’t want to line those draperies? I say that because you’ll see the wall through the sheer, plus there will be light shining through the other inside edge. Also without lining your panel drapery color will fade. i always advised my clients to line draperies.
Hi Macenna!! I'm watching you as I wait to go into surgery!! Great timeing!!
Best wishes.
i hope you're okay!
Get well soon! 🙏🏻
It is spelled "timing," NOT "timeing." You're welcome.
When packing framed art, it's not a bad idea to cris-cross packing tape over the glass. Then if the glass gets shatters, it doesn't damage the art or get everywhere.
See you in Texas…have fun with mum!! ✈️🐶🌷🌞
I used to work for my mom at a drapery business. If you are wondering if that price is good for custom draperies, it is. 😃
When you start pricing fabric and compare it to something like wood blinds, usually people choose the wood blinds. Also, your fabric stack is about 1/3 the total width. That will help you for calculating how much of the fabric you want on and off the window opening.
Can’t wait to see how they’ll look🥰
Can’t believe how fast the summer went! You’re already going back then going to Paris🥰
Oh my goodness, my Sheltie dog, Cooper is the same way. He hates the vacuum, lawnmower, air nail gun, etc. He attacks the vacuum, freaks out when my husband cuts the grass. But..he is the sweetest boy, lol.
Cover plate change out is a must but maybe that’s one of the last things you do as a finishing touch. Or maybe they would sponsor you?
For your outlet and light switch covers, try the screw less ones. I used them and they just make it look so much better. And you can get them in different colors.
Maybe you should make a mosaic top for the two round tables😍😍😍
Soooo needed this vlog escape today. Excited to watch! 💛
When you do go back to TX in the Fall Like Sept. I hope You work on the Master bathroom, love and peace....
Great vlog. Enjoy Texas and pass on our love to your mom ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ooh, I'd totally be doing a deep forest green for the curtains, pulling something from your painting over the fireplace! But i know whatever you choose is going to be lovely!
Thank you so much for sharing your thinking behind choosing colors in your renovations and decor! I really love decorating but I’ve always struggled with understanding how to chose colors/metal finishes/wood stains. Just in the time I’ve been watching your videos I’ve noticed it’s been so much easier to make choices that fit well with each other and give the feeling I want! I still struggle but you’ve really helped!
i think a dark olive green (almost brown) would be a very pretty color for the curtains as well! but the one you picked is also nice for a more subtle look.
Would you not like to replace the artwork above the console table with a mirror for a ‘final check’ on your way out the door?
I’d leave the artwork above the fireplace, unless you want a mirror to reflect the light from the window.
Kinsley is the cutest little character. Dogs are the best!
I cant wait to see Cathy!! Love the Texas vlogs so much ❤❤
