  • The room off to the left with the weird second front door has come a long way to turning into our living room … it's bright and open, yet cozy but has no trim around the window and doors! It's time to tackle those finishing touches to make the space feel more complete!

    Hey guys! I hope you enjoy todays new video! I am currently sitting in the living room still wondering if the trim is too orange and too light hahaha its a work in progress for sure!

    • @nicollkendra4

      I think one more layer will be perfect! Also, once you seal it, the trim might darken just a smidge. Regardless, it looks SO good MaCenna!

      Love this new video. Great job Macenna. I think it looks good, the contrast of the lighter and darker wood tones. Otherwise it would look too heavy, imo. But live with it for awhile and if it still looks wrong to you, then stain it again. But for now, really great job!

      I was actually thinking that the white electrical outlets need to be switched out to brown and wooden outlet covers stained to match. Brass would be another option if you want to call attention to the area, but a different sort of attention than the color they are currently attracts. She’s done a super job as always.

    Wow wow wow, this is amazing! I actually love that the wood is not all 100% matchy matchy. It looks more lived in and historical to me in a way.
    Also, this is the reason why these kinds of details are so darn expensive. The wood is costly, yes, but also the level of craftswomanship that just takes time to do to make it look this good. You can‘t rush that.

      Trims when when cut is called milled and a local wood mill shop is a good place for custom trim pieces that you find in homes.
      There are metal mill shops also.
      The trim on top the panels with that cut I believe is called a paneing trim. You can do something on the back side of trim to go over say the light switch plate or the difference at the windows these make for a better seal from drafts also.

    Wow! What a difference a trim makes. I’d sit on the stain for a while until you’re not concentrating on it so much. I don’t mind the contrasting wood tones, it looks very natural. Don’t forget the darker you go the more detail you’ll lose. You can always make it darker but the reverse is nearly impossible. I think it will look lovely with the clear finish on it. It’s an amazing job by the way 😍😍😍

    Kinsley is the most curious and the smartest little dog I ever seen. I don't know how you keep from squeezing her to pieces. She is such a little sweatheart.

    I totally enjoyed the video - and I wouldn’t mind if it had been multiple videos. Don’t burn yourself out on the projects. You’ll get them done in time. And we will always be here if you post in the mean time ❤❤

    This is my favorite video, came back here just to watch again! Missing some cottage action! Super curious to see how Macenna will follow up after some time off.

    Wow, what a difference the room looks with the trim. So beautiful. You did an amazing job with color matching the older pine. With time the pine should darken more as well. Your technique for the trimming the windows and doors is so different to what I’ve seen but I love the detail. It’s pretty much like framing a picture. Gorgeous. If you decide to change careers, I think you’d have a fantastic career as a finish carpenter. Your attention to detail is top notch!

    I am IN LOVE with your vision! I cannot express enough how cozy and lived in your home feels to me! The colors and details somehow remind me of my favorite place on earth and that was my grandmas house. I intend for that to be a compliment! Everyone wanted to be at my grandmas house! It was HOME! Thank you MaCenna for letting us come along on this journey!

    Kinsley is the star of the show. Taking her ball and wants to play while Mackenna is under fire to finish the job.Loved her. 😂😂😂😂This house became a jewel of the area. I hope when you finish it to take the time and tell us how much its value increased. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    With all the love in the world, when using power saw tools, always keep your hands at least 6 inches from the blade at all times and when using a table saw, use a push stick to finish the cut (on smaller pieces). My carpentry instructor also said to never stand in line with the blade because of kickback or the blade could jump. Stay safe :)

    WOW! WOW! WOW! I don't know why I ever doubt you. I wondered why you didn't just paint the wainscoting the same color as the bookshelves, but now I see it. You are amazing, MaCenna, and there's nothing you can't do! Bravo, woman!!!!

    I've been waiting for the trim to go up so much. Those 3 windows look so good and so rich and expensive. The living room is the gem in the house even though the kitchen is amazing. The trim in this house made me love wooden details even more.

    Ugh I am so so so so happy that you put trim around the entry way through to the kitchen. Like I always knew that you would probably do it but it looks SO beautiful. I love that you did the wrap around detail and even though I have always loved the box windows in the kitchen, they were the only windows in that area that had stain. Now that the trim is on the entryway it just brings is all together. MACENNA!!! How are you just so talented it’s CRAZY!! This 👏🏻 is 👏🏻 your 👏🏻 vision. I wish I had your brain

  • @triciaharvey9936

    Girl!!! You're so impressive! The fact that you haven't done this before and you continue to knock it out of the park every time blows me away. Your attention to detail is exquisite. Beautiful job Macenna. Kinsley baby you're nakey! 😂

  • @Lucinda_Jackson
    @Lucinda_Jackson ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your trim looks beautiful! Such a long, hard job, but definitely worth it. Yes, there's a big difference in how old, antique pine will take the stain vs how brand new pine will. The difference is that your antique pine comes from old growth forest so the grain is finer and denser. In the same thickness, there are more growth rings in old pine and the wood fibers are denser - closet together - so that when you stain that wood, there are more fibers taking in the stain and you will get a deeper, darker, richer color. Thus isn't just true for pine, but I think it's really noticeable in pine because it's a soft wood.

    I’ve been dying to see the living room trim done! It turned out so beautiful! And it was a perfect idea to frame out the opening to the kitchen with the trim, it’s “picture” perfect from both views!!

    MaCenna, the wood frame you created around the kitchen opening highlights your beautiful kitchen! Wow, your attention to detail is amazing. All of your trim work looks fantastic and makes your living room look lovely. What a task you set for yourself when you began renovating your cottage! It's been quite a journey for you and Romeo. Loving every minute of watching this series!

    Yes this woman is amazing, the amount of work she has put in this house is absolutely mind blowing! But, can we talk about her taste level?! I'm not even a big fan of her style but every time I watch her videos I'm like "yep, absolutely love that!". You are an absolute legend macenna!
