The front room has become a masterpiece!! It's gorgeous! I wouldn't turn that into a dining area, I would make a dining area once you do your renovations for the kitchen, incorporate a space for dining. The front room should be a front room, and you have nailed it!! Why touch something that's perfect. Love it!
Thank youuuuu I know I feel the same way now that’s it’s completed! Thinking like an eat in kitchen 💕
Agreed! This room sings as a living room
Agreed! Walking into a home straight into a dining room is kinda weird.
I agree since day 1. Never liked the idea of entering the house into a dining table. I also have two living rooms and use both. Especially, because I have 2 girls and one we made it into the family room and our girls have taken over the space. And the other living room, is mostly for my hubby and I!👍🏻
If I have to beg MaCenna to not turn this into a dining room, I will!😅😂
Have you considered building a custom fit window seat for your bay window? Kensley would appreciate it I'm sure.
Anyway, your home is beautiful. And I admire your courage and confidence in all you do. Excellent work pretty lady 💯
Yes 100% do a window seat for Kinsley
Those coffee table marble slabs are gorgeous but that table is rocking and rolling. Is there anyway you can firm them up? Tighten bolts? I think they need more stability because if they fall if Kinsley bumps into them or if you guys have a little kiddo, it's game over. The room looks stunning!
I thought they looked a bit precarious too!😬
Yes, that marble may be too heavy for those frames. I thought glass would have been nice.
Brilliant idea of putting the draperies on the outside of the widow. It makes the window look larger and doesn't cover up any of the actual window. Your living room is my favorite room in your home. Gorgeous.
If you do an eat in kitchen instead of turning this BEAUTIFUL space into a dining room, you still have so many options for a dinner party too!! You could use your stunning patio, you could get an expandable table or one with leaves, you could even keep a spare table in the garage and only put it up when needed etc. etc. You can always come up with something and with time comes more ideas, so who knows what the future holds.....but for now, we just need this living room to stay put!!🖤🤍🖤🤍
I feel like the marble definitely needs the rubber bottoms for stability. Even when you were touching it and decorating you could see the wobbling. It would be very sad if it toppled from movement
I love it! I couldn't imagine turning this room into a formal dining room. I think for most homes, formal dining rooms become unused space, unless you're like a dinner party queen! Lol
The curtains made the space feel so much cozier than it already did! I think a darker rug with texture would bring in more mood and coziness since it’s still a little icy compared to the stone in the marble and everything else in the space. Please do a built in bench for the bay window! With like a gauzy linen, or micro stripe or velvety upholstery! I feel like it’d finish the space even more & i just imagine kinsley perched on it. Can’t wait to see paris content💕
Tape is the way they teach us in electrical class. Covers the metal screws so you don't get shocked. Please do the tape around the screws.
Those curtains just MADE the room 10000x better. And I'm in love with the nested tables.
I'm... hesitant about the light switches but I also know that I'm not great at mixing metals in a space. Overall, an amazing look! Love it!
It kinda shocked me how much the space needed those curtains!! Like whoa! Thank youuu
@@XOMaCennaThey look simply fantastic.
@@XOMaCenna Simply Beautiful!! But am not a fan of the nickel. Does look better than the white I think they should be brass
The curtains added the perfect amount of what was needed!!! I would absolutely do the switch covers. We are looking for another home and I want it to be filled with character! The stone tops for the tables are gorgeous and the painting of Kinsley, PERFECTION! I Love your home and all your touches!!!
22:10 that shot with kingsley is dreamy. love the curtains
Top tip for hanging long curtains... Drape the length over your shoulder to take the weight. Make s it much easier to get the hooks into the rings
The room looks beautiful x the small thing that drives me crazy is seeing the seam on a light shade ! 😂 I have to turn them to the back x
Love how Kinsley roams around where you work & keeps seeing everything. Too cute. Love the makeover especially the curtains ❤️
♥️🐶♥️
LOVE the curtains! Some electricians will wrap the electrical tape around the wires to prevent the wires from loosening and causing arching inside metal boxes. This helps ensure that everything will stay in place when pushing the outlet back into the box.
that makes me feel better hahahah i saw alot of electrical tape!
I like the new switches but I don't have your budget have painted wall papered or just switched the cheap plastic covers from the odd old off white colors to plain white 😊
I love this simple tweaking of spaces . It does not overwhelm your senses and keeps it light to the mind. ❤
Macenna it’s too beautiful to change into a dining room!
Kinsey's portrait's new background fits so perfectly in the space and the room looks absolutely warm and gorgeous with all your changes!
Beautiful upgrades. ❤️💕You might on the curtains twist the front ring around so you don’t see the backing on the top. 👌🏻
The entry room came out stunning! Just, wow! Elegant and classy, natural and soothing. I agree to not turn it into a dining room. In our house, the front door walks right into the dining room and kitchen and since the dining table is right there it becomes a catch-all for everything when we come into the house 🥴😅. With the room the way you have it, it's great for guests to come over and sit and talk.
I LOVE the nesting tables. I have been looking forward to you finishing them since you bought the frames. Beautiful!
The room has come together so nicely. A built in bench would be so nice in the bay window, maybe with storage for shoes?
You know when you love a certain car?
You love it from every angle. That’s this room.
The smallest details make aaall the difference. You may not consciously notice those small things but your brain adds them up and it sees it as more expensive and more cohesive. I love your attention to detail!!
This room is "all the things"!❤.The wall color: perfection! The furniture, especially the nesting tables: perfection! And I could go on and on!
I am going to make one suggestion. Put frosted bulbs in the lamps on the entry table and all the shadows of the lamp shade brackets showing up on the walls will disappear.
The highlight of my week every week
It’s a beautifully designed space. You have really outdone the yourself Macenna. Just so lovely!
thank you so much!
13:58 love how romeo tries to stay out of frame
A “beautiful” home is a compilation of DETAILS you LoVe. (Yes! Switches Matter!)
All I can say it’s beautiful.
The curtains look great! 😊makes the entrance look more elegant and warm.
Best curtains ever.
Your switches had electrical tape for a reason!!! It is actually good practice to do that when you have metal boxes. You don't want a wire shifting a bit and touching the metal! They did metal boxes in older homes, and it is likely that your wires are older as well and a little more stripped, they could make contact with the box if you don't tape. My husband also tapes all of his wire nuts, it is a good habit to have. I really love those curtains, it just really finishes that room!
Get cork grips for the round stone table tops.
I love the curtains! I do not love the nickel light switches personally, but you’re vision always comes together in the end! So pretty overall. Obsessed
Changing out all the switch plates and outlet covers was one of the first things I did in both my homes. Updated the look of the home significantly. Curtains also provide sound dampening which is important if your home has little to no carpet, rugs, or other fabrics. The room looks gorgeous.
When I bought my new place and renovations were started, one of the first things I did was order new light switch plates and outlet covers for the whole house, knowing what a big difference they make, and they did. Good call. 😊
I am so happy I found your channel! So many decorating channels use too much modern decor, which is not at all to my liking. Finally, some ideas I can implement in my own home!
🇬🇧I love this room, it’s my favourite in the whole house. Formal dining rooms are such a waste of space, an eat in space in the kitchen would be just as nice. I imagine where you live, you can eat outdoors for most of the summer.
We often curtain our bay windows like this in the UK, with Roman or wood blinds in the bays and dress curtains outside. Our heating radiators are placed under windows so you can’t really close the curtains without blocking the heat.
This room is soooooo perfect now it's been finished. I can totally see it decorated at Christmas time with a beautiful tree in the bay window and garland over the mantel.
No way would I ever turn it into a dining room. No one has formal dining rooms these days and your new kitchen/diner will be big enough to incorporate a dining table for everyday use. You also have another dining table outside for eating at when the weather is good which lets face it is most of the time in CA.
This way you have a more formal adult living room for when friends come around to chat and a large more relaxed family/TV room for you Romeo and the kids to hang out in. And if you are building a bookcase along the rear wall I would incoprorate cupboard doors along the bottom level to house all the kids toys and stuff to minimise the mess that children bring.
The curtains made such a big difference! 😍
Omg. I feel the need to change outlets/switches/covers so hard! We bought a house in October of 2022 and have been slowly updating each and every switch and outlet! No more mismatched almond/white, now it’s black switches/outlets with antique brass covers 🤤
Also, we had the different switch types in one plate as well, drove me nuts!
Romeo had the right idea! I was DYING to see how they looked pulled closed or half closed for the days that you might want to do that. When someone has a migraine (or when a sleeping baby is dozing in a bassinet in there while their mother films in the adjacent room 😊). I know they’re for beauty more than function but they’re an investment, and I would have done the same as Romeo to see how pulling them closed affects the space.
I love the ceiling hanging and drilling part, I love your pants it so stuck in you and you don’t even pull it out, you look amazing 🤙🏽
Love how this space turned out. Also I think built in bench / seats in front of the bay window would look so nice and cozy
But that's the perfect place for the Christmas tree.
Love the curtains! They look so perfect! Right color, right fabric, right length and fullness, right construction, right placement - perfect! Joe it looks like you live there! And it's funny I say that, because I'm not a person who feels curtains are necessary on all windows at all! I have lived in several houses without curtains in some rooms for various reasons. But that room and that window in that house needs curtains! And you got the exact ones it needs! 😍😍😍 Love Romeo trying out the rod and rings after you got it jusssst right! 😂
The marble guys did a fabulous job on cutting those table tops! It's the perfect marble, but they're artists so chose the placement carefully to find the prettiest, most harmonious section. I think they just made one of your decisions a bit easier when kitchen renovation time rolls around. I think we all know where you'll be going for countertops!
I'm a person who has a thing for electrical wall plates, too. One house I bought had different fancy switch covers in each room! Everything from carved wood to different metals to plastic and in all kinds of designs. There were wooden ships' wheels in one bedroom (it had been a boy's room decorated in a nautical theme), pretty pink flowers painted on white ceramic in another bedroom, hammered antique brass with eagles on top in the living room, wooden rectangles with carved picture frame detailing in the den/office, brass ovals with fleur de lis on the tops in the dining room and the most awesomely-horribly-kitschy cast iron skillet and tea pot shapes in the kitchen! The only one I kept was in the entry hall - a soft brass colored lattice overlaying mother of pearl. It was a three gang switch like the one inside your front door, so was big and weighed a ton, but looked pretty next to the door with the leaded glass and leaded glass sidelights. So I left it. The others were replaced pronto! 😂
I've been binge watching for a couple of days and love your style. My favorite however is Kinsley and how she's in every shot just being so curious! I'm usually a glass person, but I'm loving your use of stone.
Love the updates… it looks so good. What about a hanging mirror for the flat wall across from the stairs. Think of that classic anthropology mirror but small size either alone, or with a tiny floating shelf.
I'm obsessed with the marble coffee table!!!! Aarrrgghhh ❤😍 And the nickel switches! And the grey beige currrtains!!! 😫🥹😍🤤🤤🤤
Killer updates! Kinsey’s painting is perfect now.
The room turned out beautiful. So warm & cozy.
It’s pretty funny that the old style pleated curtains are back in style. I for one was totally sick of them years ago. 😂
Yes, I would definitely change my switches...I'm so detail oriented, the screws always have to go point up & down! BEAUTIFUL room
I love the tiles. Would have loved to see how you managed to do the measurements around the curved areas of the toilet. Especially since they all fit so satisfyingly well together
Nesting tables are GORGEOUS!!!! Curtains...fantastic, great job MaCenna- they look beautiful.
Was watching your video when up popped a new post notification from Drew so now I am off to watch it. It is 3.30am here in Melbourne and I am wide awake! Loved the curtains and everything else in your living room. It looks so pretty now. Had to laugh when Romeo ruined your perfectly hung curtains. Hope you all had a great time in France. With love from Down Under 😘💕🇦🇺.
Wow, before my daughter studied interior design and watching you I have to say I was not aware of the small details in rooms, but yeah now I’m paying attention! I love all of your newest updates. You keep elevating your space and it so much fun to watch.
Beautiful curtains. I believe that the two round tables are not enough for a living room., there is not enough space to serve comfortably tea for four.
yep, they did help with the echo. they really completed the look and the marble on the table is the cherry on top.
The tables are perfect!
Morning from sunny England. I feel like you and I are kindred spirits. I’m all about the detail too every item I buy has a place to balance the next item little vignettes within one beautiful room. You continue to inspire me. Thank you
the curtains made such a difference. the living room is beautiful!
Yes, I ALWAYS notice switches/plates!! Even in rentals, at the the minimum I put on new covers. In one of my previous homes, we still had the original brass button switches, which I loved, and left alone. In my most recent home, I didn’t think of replacing the actual switch mechanisms (you go, Makenna!), but found paintable wooden switch and outlet covers, and painted them all to match the wall colors. That helped them disappear. So great going on your new switches!
Absolutely gorgeous! Agree with other comments, leave it your formal living room! Love, love, love it.
I would leave the switches as they are, I think the nickel fights the space, if anything you can add the light dimmer and bigger switch in the same color you have now
I suggest she "rub n buff" with brass color. It goes on everything and makes it look just like metal.
@@denisejones1863 that’s a good idea actually
The curtains are a great addition, and a window seat would be lovely too! I don't love the switch covers. When they're catching the light just right to match the walls it's fine, but from every other angle they're extra shiny/dark and noticeable, especially because they aren't the basic white you expect that inherently blend into the background due to being basic and expected. The stone toppers are nice and I'd definitely come up with a way to secure them to the tables better. That's less to worry about with people, pets, eventually kids, etc. I wouldn't make this a formal dining. Having that as the first thing you walk into just feels messy, like you had nowhere better to put a table, and like you're interrupting something. This feels intentional and inviting and more flexible and usable. You already have a dining table; people can eat there and come out here with extra snacks to keep visiting after (if you're cool with food out here, obviously). A suggestion: move the fireplace painting to the right so it's a little asymmetrical. I think it would be nicer to consider the painting AND vase/other decor as one unit and center the unit instead. How you have it is lovely but oddly empty on the right, and not quite in an aesthetically intentional way. That detail would elevate it more.
The drapes really add to the room! Great addition!
Ok this is probably the most beautiful room EVER!!
I bought a 1970s awful house when I moved here. Low ceilings uck! No trim uck!
9 years later I am updating it to Japanese zen, and starting to love it. Did the outside first, wonderful. One shed is now a tea house, zen garden and evergreen pathways. Stone raised beds. The low ceilings are cosier in these mountain winters. A triangular shed will be a greenhouse attached with a shade room.
This has been the hardest fixup for me!
I have changed out lights and plates.
Great job and the flowers in the window looks or reminds me of deep in bloom♥️♥️🥰
The room looks simply sensational! There is just one thing that's sticking out to me, The lamps on your beautiful entry table need regular light bulbs. The clear ones are casting a harsh light that shows the inside of the lamp shade. Just a suggestion.
The curtains. They’re stunning!!!!!
Wow the tables are fabulous!!!!!
The entire room is such a statement. A real WOW FACTOR. And those tables with the marble are perfection! GREAT transformation 🥰
everything looks perfect, I have been thinking the same thing about my outlets! I am going to order the same ones that you got. Try museum wax on the marble tables to keep them in place. It is removable and does not damage the surface underneath.
When Romeo moves the curtains HAHA I died LOL Beautiful as always, your designs and thought process is always so inspiring! I HOPE YOU ALL ARE HAVING THE BEST TIME IN FRANCE!! CANT WAIT FOR THE VLOGS!!!! AAAHHHHHHH
When you showed us the nesting tables, I envisioned the tops as sitting down within the frame. It never occurred to me that it simply sat on top.
I think the glass tops used to sit down in the frame? These seem a bit shaky from the weight being perched on top.🤔
If you’re planning on kiddos in the future, I’d definitely stick those marble slabs down on your coffee table. I’m just envisioning my 1 yo running through and destroying things 🥲 but I LOVE this room. Well done ❤❤❤
Hi MaCenna! Curtains/switchplates/table tops: Yes/Yes/and Yes! Especially the curtains made a HUGE change. The contemplating gentleman near the stairs shakes me up a bit.
Congrats, MaCenna!!! No one will want to leave that front room upon entrance!!! A true class act!!! Details, particularly, if they are perfect, are everything!!!
The front room is beautiful! Are you planning on putting a custom made bench (with storage) under the bay window? That would look really nice with the curtains. 😊
Love the curtains,the new table tops are perfect, Best of all Kinsley!! Your room is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
This room literally takes my breath away macenna! You need your own magazine- tv show. All the things ❤
Love the way everything turned out, that was special that your mom could fix the picture without doing a new one. Could you please let us know where you got the curtain rod and rings from? It turned out to be a very cozy beautiful room.
Please please please do a bay window seat!! With a beautiful patterned upholstered seat. Would love to see you do this diy
Your home is beautiful!
Macenna saying “oh my god! I had them perfectly spaced”……I laughed so hard because that 100% me. Sir, please admire my work from a distance, do not touch. 😅
OH MAN!!! that last little part where he pulled the curtain is "priceless"!!!!
Absolutely FABULOUS!!!!!
Your Living Room is Glorious! Especially love the drapes!
Just beautiful!!
The curtains are gorgeous McCenna and worth every penny and take your room to another level. All the little upgrades you made are 👩🍳 😘 Little Kinsley at the bottom of the stepladder watching your every move you made was so adorable.☺️
Yay, always excited to see the transformations done!!!
the new marble is everything!!!!!
Love love all your decorating! ❤️
Love that room!! 😍
LOVE this room!!!
I’m speechless-it’s truly stunning!
So beautiful. Love it all
