    I love that you aren’t “half-assing” anything! You are taking the time to restore every little detail with your home. I know others would’ve just sprayed over the chipped paint & called it a day. I watch other videos and I’m like ohhh noooo MaCenna would never let that pass. Lol. Keep up the good work, you are amazing!

      Right? And it's soo much better to do so. Painting over chipped paint saves you time first but you need to spend so much more time afterwards because the new paint will chip away only a few months after. She's doing everything perfectly

    I’m so glad you rubbed the stain on this time instead of with a paint brush. I love the color you chose but like you said it was a bit thick lol it looked more like brown paint rather than a stain and kind of took away the beautiful wood grain detail. Your work ethic and aesthetics are so amazing as always!

      Watching her paint the sidelights, her hands & motions with the paint going on so smoothly, she looked like a Professional! Then to look at her face, she looks kinda like "Am I doing ok? Is this right? Am I messing it up?" Not used to her being scared, indecisive or doubtful as she exudes such confidence & perfection! Like all the best artists, she's her worst critic! McKenna is humble perfection (look it up in the dictionary, her picture is there) If only everyone had this much pride in their work & self worth! 🌹💕

  • @tbrac489

    Just a heads up, the stain you are using is made for deck and fences. The sealer is already built into the stain. Coming from years of experience, I don’t know of a sealer that can or will seal something that is already sealed. Polyurethane, spar urethane and even polycyclic is meant to go on things unsealed. I only post this to warn you that whatever you try and put on top of the behr stain may not do what you’re thinking it will do. It already contains the protection you need from the elements. Just thought I’d share.🙂

    I have now noticed that I am a product of today's impatient group of people. I want to binge watch this whole project, but instead I have to wait. I am sooooo excited to get to the decorating part, but it's still so much fun watching it all come together bit by bit. I'm gonna be so sad when you're all done, so I am teaching myself to have patience and just enjoy it week by week.

    I admire your dedication and I cannot wait to see the results! It all sounds simple to change, tear down, renovate, build because we only see the before and afters, you're showing everyone how much work it really takes to do it right.

    I need a Spotify playlist of all the songs that you put in your videos! They just give me such good and relaxing vibes! So excited for this big progress for you guys; it’s really coming along! Congrats on concrete and walls! 💗

    Love that front door MaCenna, it really did turn out beautiful, I agree that the turquoise was not a favorite color, now it really fits the vibe of the house. I am so excited to see more of the construction. That addition is going to be so amazing. Looking forward to your next one the vlogs and just all the progress. Sending love and hugs, bye for now.

    I swear the framing makes each room look so much bigger! Even though you’ve shown your drawings and everything, with the framing I’m like that’s a ton of space lol.
    You did such a good job on the door

    As much as I am enjoying your videos, I know our enthusiasm pales in comparison to yours.
    I remember how I felt when I expanded my kitchen 15 years ago. The number of decisions to make (by myself) and seeing my vision come to life.
    I'm ready to start another project of creating a primary suite upstairs in my story-and-a-half Cape Cod-style house. But first, got to replace the original 70-year-old gravity furnace. Ah, I will have A/C.
    This project is so much fun to watch!

    WALLS!!!!! Also it is (as a woman) soooo motivating to see you just carry that stack of wood to the yard- and doing your windows, demo-ing all the old boards, getting experience with loads of new tools etc. I know quite a lot of women who would not dare to put up a curtain rod.
    Seeing your fearless work makes want to bring on bigger projects, thanks Mackenna :)

You should be so proud of what you have achieved already, its going to be stunning when it's done! Also just love how positive you are its so refreshing x

    I've been following the progress of your home renovation since you posted the video on purchasing it back in January. Can't believe how far the house has come! Watching the progress every week and how happy it makes you brings me so much joy ☺️ Can't wait to see the rest of the work to be done, and then all the pretty things that I know will go into the house. Btw, the front door gives me LIFE. So pretty ❤️
