A month and 1/2 into our kitchen renovation we are already entering what I like to call “the pretty stage.” This week we are designing our custom French doors to lead out to our pool area and restoring our 1930’s windows so after decades of being painted shut they finally open.

    Hi guys! I hope you enjoy today's new episode! Putting a DISCLAIMER now (because I know I'll get asked). We tested our home for any lead-based paint before starting renovation and we are all clear! Thank goodness! just in case you were wondering! I'm so happy we were able to get the windows functional again :)
  • @Iris1822458
    Endlessly impressed with your contractor in every video. I've worked with many, many contractors over the years and yours is so professional and seems to always make sure that all subcontractors are listening to you and never talking over you.
  • @jmk1962
    Truest words ever "SHE KNOWS".
  • @loriefulmer4716
    Now you can open your windows and smell the roses! 🌹🌹🌹
  • @mrsr559
    I'm sure that the tradesmen who did the doors were thrilled to hear your excitement. That kind of quality work takes such skill!
  • @ChilledJil2010
    I really appreciate when you restore Windows to their former glory. Good for you, Girl!
  • @nicoleparis975
    Your contractor is so impressive. Hard to find people in the industry who is such an advocate for their client 🙌🏽
  • @MicheleLRid
    Oh Macenna - it is SO fun to see you DIYing again! I bet it felt great to be doing it! I love ALL of your videos, but this was cottage-level fun! So nice to see you enjoying life and loving this stage of it. Best wishes to you and your family!
  • The French doors are perfection! And you did a really amazing job stripping your kitchen windows. We lived in a 1911 house and it had a sunroom with lots of Windows and every one of them was painted shut. My husband worked like a demon on those. I really want to compliment how well you are staying true to the age of your house with all the new things that you put in. You've really done an exquisite job so far.
  • In the preview for the next video, I love how your contractor has become so comfortable with the vlog! “She knows!” Color
  • @bud6745
    The contractor listened to everything that you asked for. See them do Drews home too, it is refreshing to see, the different levels of workmanship they achieved. 😊
  • Its giving project manager, the way you interact with your contractor and vendors. That in itself, is a skill 😉
  • living for this renovation! i like the way you’ve been batching the videos too
  • @jimwalker76
    Your contractor is amazing, as well as the people he works with. He watches so intently and double checks to make sure there are no misunderstandings. This guy is amazing.
  • @jgeorge4919
    It makes me so happy to see someone actually care about the integrity and history of things while updating them. Yes, you spray painted the locks and removed windows, but you also restored the other windows and kept bricks and so many little oddities. I dislike so many other renovation channels because they make everything so sad beige, ikea looking or renovate just to change things. This kitchen makes more sense now, the front room somehow seems to fit your house better than before.
  • I love how intentional you are with your designs. You always think about the details before committing to anything and you can really tell that it’s a passion.
  • @kiramiryam208
    My 2.5 year old daughter was watching with me today and she said, “She’s doing a nice job! Hey she has a baby in her tummy! Babies can’t work. She’s doing a great job! She’s doing it fast! Fast fast fast!” 😂❤️ So excited for you to meet your sweet little boy! ❤️ The kitchen is looking amazing!!
  • @Cachetona777
    I love that your contractor takes you seriously like a human not like a woman❤ he listens to you and works together with you.
  • Macenna came into my life almost simultaneously at the time of my only beautiful daughters passing I have enjoyed her so much sometimes it feel as if she saved my life
