I cant help but think that the reason you have so many followers here and on your vlog is that your positivity, enthusiasm, and determination is so relatable for all of us. Watching you and Romeo as well as your mom and of course behind the scenes; your dad makes all of us so stinking proud of ya'll. We all feel like family here watching you complete this cottage and watch it come to life. You are what we all see as either a daughter, a sister or a beastie and we can't help but cheer your accomplishments through the camera. Thank you for sharing! You bring light to all our lives.
Wow thank you so much for your comment! You brought me to tears! That means the absolute world to me!!! 🥹
@@XOMaCenna you are absolutely welcome. Yours is the one channel and vlog that I look forward to the most because of your upbeat attitude.
I completely agree!!! You have inspired me to go back to school at 50 to become an interior designer. I am so proud of you and your accomplishments!
I second your comment Janet. I was thinking the exact same think after watching this video. You’re like family MaCenna. I hope you all take time out to have spa days. The flooring and tiling must have been brutal. ❤️
What she said ^
MADD respect for you taking on those floors. And the Carpenter who built those floors 100 years ago would also probably totally appreciate all the hard work that you have put back into the home. ❤️
And imagine how he would have felt knowing someone in the 70’s glued linoleum down over the original hardwoods 😱
@@erinmoore9681 he must have rolled over in his grave but he is at peace now.
I’m not crying your crying over how beautiful these floors have turned out. 🥺 The dedication you, Romeo, and your parents to the art of restoring your 110 year old cottage is inspiring I hope you know how truly incredibly hardworking you all are for this beautiful dream of yours. Congratulations, on getting another major step done towards moving into your gorgeous cottage!
You're right- I AM crying!
Omg thank you!!!!!!!!! They literally turned out better than I could have imagined!!
Yea we not over here crying at how awesome MaCenna and her family is, not cry 😢 when they squeegee the floor my mouth drop and I was like omg 😲 those floor are going to be gorgeous 😍 and that's just the floors imagine, the rest of the house put together. MaCenna you have inspired us from day one ❤
I love how Momma looks so perfectly put together while doing floors. She should be on a cover of a DIY magazine!
She is adorable!!
When we all thought the windows took the most work, here comes the floors! It's oddly satisfying to see Macenna laying the tiles and the floorboards and if you're just watching the video you'd think it's so easy. But we all know it's not. The floors all looked so pretty. This house has come a really long way from 2021.
The “DIY hardwood floor plan” infographic was extremely helpful as a viewer to understand the different layers! Thank you!
Yessss so much effort was put into that and I appreciate it so much
I've done all the flooring in my house including glue down bamboo floors and it absolutely KILLS your body. I'm glad the floors are almost 100% done! it looks so good and you will look at it everyday and go "I DID THAT!" so worth it.
100% it killeddddd my body we had to keep taking days off in between!! But you’re right “I did that”!!!! Sooooo worth it
McCenna, you, Romeo and your parents have done such an outstanding job of restoring your old house. The mental and physical demands of this project are just wow! Everything is looking so good and your floors look absolutely beautiful with such character. Well done!
I don’t think I’ve ever clicked so fast in my life 😂 you are so inspiring MaCenna! And I am already looking forward to next year’s vlogmas hahah
Yaaass🎄😁
This my feels for every video.
Omg ME TOOO! I think about vlogmas all the time!!!! O can’t wait!!
Same! Took everything in me not to skip ads 😃
Oh my goodness! The cottage is looking amazing already. Thank you Maccena and Romeo for sharing this beautiful chapter of your lifes 🤗😘🙏🏻
The craziest part of all is how high quality your videos are! We are literally seeing how much work you’re putting into the house. Most people wouldn’t even be able to do that, let alone have time for anything else. But you’re able to create so many videos for us! And not even quick videos, but videos with great editing, angles, lighting, everything. It’s much appreciated 💕
You're so inspiring its incredible. This was probably months of planning and the execution and the detail you put into your explanations are amazing. This makes me want to buy a house and renovate it! Keep doing you girl, we love to see authentic wholesome people like you on the internet!!
Thank you so so much! That means the world to me 🥰🥰🥰
The floors are absolutely beautiful. All the aches and pains paid off MaCenna! Thanks for sharing the details, I’m inspired to do my wood floors!
Thank youuuuuu
Macenna, I’m single (divorced, 2 children grown) and in my old home I bought 16 yrs ago.. I’ve worked hard, so many PROJECTS I’ve had to do myself some I’ve had help with.
.
I take care of my lawn, I’ve made beautiful flower garden’s , I have a salon and grandchild’s sports (😍) Ive built my own garden house that I love, I’ve been so tired on so many hundred occasions, trying to do it all, I have literally crawled up my stairs to shower to go to bed..and dead to the world tired.
.
I’ve stripped my old floors, sanded, rented machines, my PRECIOUS DEAR Mother helped me ever step of the way with my floors, and watching your Mother help you reminded me of those wonderful memories. ♥️
.
But I’ve written this before and I just have to write it again.. You’re a HARD WORKER, people that have never done this kind of thing, just cannot grasp the amount of hard draining work this kind of work does to someone, and you are persistent and you stay at it to get it done.
.
When you do it yourself and when it is all done, knowing the amount of work, and BRAIN WORK, which is so draining (especially when it is something you had to learn to complete the task) it is draining) but when you and Romeo and your parents are sitting there when it is ALL DONE, reminiscing you’re going to have the most wonderful feeling of accomplishment because GIRL YOU HAVE WORKED HARD!! HARD!! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 and you should feel nothing less than proud of yourself!! I am sure your parents are and Romeo as well! 🙏🏻
macenna,
the level of dedication, love, care, intentionality, etc you have & continue to put into your home is so admirable and i am so in awe of you. i love that you are both restoring your home to its former glory and giving it a new life - here's to hoping it may live on another 110+ years
Thank you soooooo much 🥹🥰😘
Could not be more obsessed with this series… So impressed with what you’re capable of. You seriously make me feel like I could go a build a house 😅
The memories you are making with Romeo, your mom, and your dad are more priceless than the home will be to you. You have done such a beautiful job so far and I'm so looking forward to the end results. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.
I don’t know why I feel so proud of you!!! This house is coming so amazingly!
Aww thank you soooo much!!!!
I seriously love that throughout all of this, you always use ‘us, we, ours’- fully acknowledging all of the hard work, love and dedication that your wonderful family and boyfriend put in with you!! You are a DREAM, MaCenna!! So excited for you! Love the attention to detail and your keen eye! Such an inspiration!
You are the hardest working DIYers. You give 100+% to everything you do! I’m am in awe every week. Can’t wait to see your vision come to life.
She is absolutely the hardest working DIYer on the platform. I don't think other DIYers would even try to argue that one haha!
Omg thank you! I love what I do and want every project to be as good as it can be!! 🥰🥰🥰
@@striketochill I would argue it. I don't like to discredit all the other hard working DIYers out there. But we work harder than anyone I have seen and we do it alone.
@@diyfferent I've never seen your channel but I'm off to watch now!
Oh my word you are one of the most patient, hard working and exacting person I know! Your home is such a labor of love! You impress me more w each video. Those floors are a work of art, truly truly. How long did you dream and plot and plan before you guys started house hunting? Your house seems to be springing full blown from your imagination. Once you walked in w keys it was like you had already made so many design decisions. So very cool to participate in this w you and all of us who check in w such excitement for every vlog. THANK YOU
We usually use the water proofing on a small part of walls as well, about 4-5 inches high like skirting, to add a seal and keep moisture out of the cracks in between floors and walls. After this barrier, we roll out a layer or two of a thick underlay. If the floor space is too large, the underlay can be done with intervening plywood boards in order to avoid having a dip in the middle of a room with time. You can try this at the guests’ cottages later. Lastly, transition pieces can vary, and a lot of them have a tongue to be imbedded between 2 types of flooring. I just hope you left some space to accommodate. Lastly, Loving every minute of your videos, Very nice work and a superior attention to detail overall. This is exactly how I’ve been doing it. This type of work has its toll, but it’s worth every second in the end. Take your time and takes care of yourself 💐
My whole body hurts just watching you all. Your knees will never be the same I’m sure. You have done a fantastic job. They are gorgeous and you will have such satisfaction when you move into your home and start enjoying it. Be proud of yourself girl!
Girl you should be extremely proud of yourself. Seriously the amount of work you’ve put into this place is amazing. I have no doubt it is going to look spectacular when it’s ‘finished’. I put finished in quotes because is a house ever truly finished especially with someone who loves to decorate.
Agree wholeheartedly
Your determination is so admirable! I can’t wait to see the finished product!!
Thank you so much!
Damn girl, I am blown away! The floors really bring it all together, they are beautiful! Not gonna lie when I first saw you were taking on the process of renovating your own home, I was skeptical but holy smokes, you are killing it! Keep up the great work, can't wait to see it all finished!
I wouldn't be surprised if after all these restorations MaCenna will reveal to us that there are actually at least 10 more MaCennas doing the job. That her doppelganger Elizabeth Olsen went to talk to every MaCenna in every universe and asked them to help her out 😜
I have never been so interested in home renovations and interior designing like this before. Thank you so much for inspiring me to do what I think I'd love and be passionate about. :')
Omg wow that makes me so happy!!! 🥰🥰
I have never enjoyed putting down tile floors and sanding floors as I have enjoyed this video WOO HOO!!!!!!!!! The floors look amazing❤️❤️❤️ It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since you started this journey, you and Romeo will be so proud of your home.
She makes it look easy 😂
Wow MaCenna I’m so proud of you and the job you did on those floors. No wonder it took a while. They’re beautiful and add character to the cottage. I’m thinking Christmas already and how excited Kensley will be to be there.
🥰🥰🥰
Yes I'm eager to see Kinsley move in 😉😉😉😉
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the amount of work this woman has put into this project?! I’m tired just looking at her work 😅. For someone that has never done this before she’s kicking ass!! Her passion and determination has been incredibly inspiring. Congratulations on your wonderful home, MaCenna! I’ve enjoyed watching this process! 😊
This is possibly the most satisfying video on the internet
I honestly feel so proud (even just being a viewer) of what you've achieved with this house, it makes it feel like you're almost done now the floors are done, they look absolutely amazing, and the fact you keep videos coming multiple times a week for us is so inspiring, you're such a positive and enthusiastic person and I honestly think it's rubbed off on all of us, thank you for everything you're doing ❤️
This video was well worth the wait! You have done so much and everything looks lovely 😭🤩. You’re better than a cup of coffee MaCenna. Watching you work and bring your vision to life energizes me to keep pushing in my own work. Thanks for being you lady!
That makes me so happy!!!!! Thank you so much! 🥰
You need to bronze those shoes you're wearing for this renovation once you've finished. Turn them into bookends! They carried you through the project of a lifetime! What a fun memory trinket to keep.
What a great idea!💕
I was noticing how completely trashed they look, love it!
I have to admit that when you bought your cottage and we saw the condition of the floors I was sure you would rip them all out and start fresh. It has been amazing watching you, Romeo and your family replace missing pieces, remove all the linoleum (OMG what were they thinking covering up that floor???), connecting the old and new flooring, sanding, priming, staining and sealing all of your floors. The amount of research you do is incredible and in the end you get exactly what you want. My parent's house that was built in the 1800's had the same oak flooring and my mom was so proud when she cleaned and waxed it. Like everyone else I cried when you showed the finished product - the floors are so beautiful! I'm so proud of you for your hard work and determination and can't wait to see what you will tackle next. Thanks for taking us all along for the ride!!!
Omg!! You freaking go girl!! I’m so proud of your progress and doing it on your own!! Literally tear up with every video!! Adore you and your content💕 don’t ever stop
holy cow these floors are looking INCREDIBLE!! what a labor of love!
This girl is literally building a house almost all on her own. Amazing stuff. So inspiring.
I had FULL BODY CHILLS watching this whole process from start to finish, I’m so glad you delayed! This was so satisfying! I can’t wait to see the next make-over!
I am amazed at your willingness to do all these major projects. The floors are gorgeous!!!
I love this so much! The fact that you put so much research and hard work into this whole project is one of the main reasons I love your channel! This episode literally made me squeal with delight! Keep it up!
I simply cannot fathom the amount of work you have put into this house! My already existing respect for people who do this as a career has increased vastly. Watching the floors come to life as you seal them is incredible!❤️🌺
I seriously LOVE these floors! MaCenna, you are so inspiring!! One day you will be able to tell your children that you renovated this whole house with your own two hands, so wild!
Thank youuuuuuuuu 🥰
So proud of you and Romeo! Imagine The stories that you guys will tell your kids about the work you guys did to your home. This is amazing.
I think about that all the time actually! And like making them sit and watch all the videos hahahaha
Been waiting all day for this update!! You are absolutely crushing this, so impressed!!
I swear MaCenna, i've been crying from your videos lately. Always happy tears tho. It's like im so proud every time you finish a project in the house but also, I can see how close to the end of this part of the house journey you are. This has been amazing to watch
SO gorgeous! I really admire your energy and also your style! Can’t wait to see what’s next! Tell your momma hello love seeing her and Romeo.
I'm so loving this whole process. All the hard work, all the set backs will be worth it. The floors are just beautiful. Can't wait for more.
Beautiful!
I haven't even finished watching this and let me just tell you, you're a beast! Keep up the good work! ❤❤
🥰🥰🥰
I have watched a good number of renovation shows over the past few years; but never have I seen ANYONE research and plan so intelligently, try, and conquer, so many new skills at once, and work so very, very hard! You are awesomely amazing and an excellent role model for DIY; as well as being personable and fun to watch.
Check out 1806 Stonehouse. He’s not nearly as perky as Macenna (is anyone?! 😆) but he spent 5 years restoring his 1806 stone house with lots of care and detail. His older videos are a little rough to start with (he started just filming with an iPad!) but his videography gets so good over time. He’s taking a break right now before starting the other side of the house, but there 5 years of weekly videos to binge if you’re looking for something.
Those old floors have transformed amazingly! They are so beautiful! You got about half way across the floor with the sealer, and I just sighed! 😊ahhh. SO good.
It's probably too late to help, but when we had wood floors glued down, they used painter's tape to make sure the planks stayed in place. Not every board, but every few. Also, I LOVE seeing your videos! :)
Absolutely love the color of the water based stain!! Can’t wait to see how you chose to to the master bathroom too, loving the darker herringbone
I would LOVE a Q&A btwn you and Romeo about how you guys worked together and who was better at what and how you blew off steam, who's more bossy, etc lol! This makes me want to cry. Following you from the beginning, I can't believe you finally got your floors!
That final reveal honestly put tears in my eyes 🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️
I have been watching since the beginning and it’s so amazing seeing everything little by little come together! ✨
I just love everything you’re doing to your beautiful home!!! I’m so excited!!!!❤️
This is what you call a labour of love. The old floor is so rich and beautiful. Am glad you put in all the love because it was worth every sweat.
ok I know the whole process of the floors has taken a while and we've all waited a while for this video but I personally don't mind because what are we gonna do when the whole cottage/guest cottages are completely finished and this series is over!? 🥺 I can't believe yous are finally moving in soon! I'm appreciating every big and little project more and more with each passing video, even the tedious ones
I also used the Bona on my floors and I LOVE it! I finished mine myself 3 years ago and my floors are still stunning. I also chose the Bona Traffic for my sealer and the Bona Classic for the finish.
I’m so excited to watch this!!! Can’t wait to see what else you’re working on next. I appreciate that you always focus on the quality of content over posting a video on time!! 💕
The point about herringbone and being like a jigsaw puzzle is such a good one. How many puzzle lovers would never consider doing their floors because it's never been described to them like that before? Genius.
Those old floors have surpassed my expectations! They look like new but with so much character
Ever stage of the new flooring was so satisfying to watch ❤️ great work on the video 👍
So thrilled for you!! The floors look amazing, and I'm sure that you're glad to be nearing the end of the floor project! So excited to be on this journey with you!!!!
I am so proud of you and your husband for making your dream come true. Your home is going to be absolutely so beautiful. I've been watching all your videos on my TV with my husband. I love watching you going to shop for antiques and other vintage stuff. It makes me feel like I'm right there shopping with you.
"u brought me chikkin :)))" you're not wrong macenna that is a sign of true love right there 😂
I can feel the pain your backs must’ve had, you guys did a great job!
Those floors! You did such a great job. They came out gorgeous.
Every thorough, work intensive step is a labor of love for a firm, substantial foundation. Self satisfaction, guaranteed.
I am OBSESSED with the details on some of the old flooring and how the conditioner made it look exceptional. Just WOW
Watching the wood sander was so satisfying to watch! 😳😍 I can’t believe how much work you’ve done so far!!!!!!!! The content is perfection 😃💕
I’m soo impressed with you guys! This house is going to be stunning, you have such an eye for detail, I love following this process❤️❤️❤️
McCenna,look at all that labor of love that you,& your love ones are putting in your floors! Questions:"How do you agreed by deciding on what types of materials is needed for each flooring"?Do you consult prons on everything,or go with your own final decisions !Again,I enjoyed how you share with viewers on everything step by steps! I,too ❤ how all that labor of love is shining through yourselves working on each floors!
Wahoo! Another MaCenna video!!!😁
You made those floors come back to life! MaCenna, you never cease to surprise me with your ingenuity! Awesome job once again. 👍🥇
P.S. Can't wait to see Kinsley scampering around the house !
The floors are so beautiful! Kudos to you and Romeo for tackling such an intimidating job. You should be so proud! 👏👏👏
Yay!!!! I’ve been waiting for this!!:) I look forward to your videos so much! The only videos that I don’t watch on 2x speed 😂 looks great!!❤️
I don't usually comment, but your house is going to be stunning when done because of all of the care and love you, Romeo and your Mom have put into it.
Your floors are BEAUTIFUL!!! You, Romeo and your mom are just so fun to watch and of course when we see your dad in little spots when your taping...you just bring so much joy and comfort when you are talking to us and you are so REAL!!! Never stop and it’s just so pleasing to see you...I always look forward to your next one...and AGAIN THANK YOU FOR TAKING US ON YOUR JOURNEY OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL HOME ✨😊✨
This was absolutely a fabulous video. you all are coming along. I've been with you the whole way and I can't wait to see it finished. It will be the prettiest house in Texas because it was restored with love.
Awww thank you so much!!!!
So excited to watch this video!!! I love everything your doing! My bf & I are getting ready to redo my childhood home to move into. And make it handicap accessible as I'm now in a wheelchair so I'm loving all the inspo your giving me!!
I can imagine how proud you will be when its all finish that you done all the work literally all the work by yourself!
That is a whole lot of hard work done! Amazing job! 👏
One question: Doesn't nailing the subfloor ruin the vapor barrier? I would assume it should remain intact 🤔
Almost impossible in this application. Some vapor barrier systems come with penetration seal patches. But since the plywood is attached at random nail locations, the nail holes cannot be spray foamed and caulked. Since the RedGuard in this application is being used for concrete “sweat” the likelihood water will seep through is minimal.
Yasss !!! Been waiting all day for this and I’m so excited😊😊🎉
Another great Macenna production,that was worth the wait thank you!
MaCenna your mom is to precious to be helping you. You will be able to help her when they build their house. You and Romeo work well together your floors look stunning and another compliment you are a very inspiring and positive person. Keep up the good vibes
I love your relationship with your mom, it is like watching me and my mom together, we are SO close, really each others best friend. But no matter how independent I am (I'm 30) I'll always be her baby... And we both love your videos ♥
This looking so great, I can't wait until you fully finish the restoration.
When this is all over and your luving here full time. You will need a sign on the wall that says THIS IS THE HOME THAT ROMEO AND MACENNA BUILT.
GIRL YOU LITERALLY INSTALLED HARDWOOD FLOORS!!!! LIKE WHAT!!!????!!! AMAZING
The attention to detail regarding the pretty wood going in the doorways and entrance way 😍 Personal touches down to every detail I'm obsessed!!
You all are a wonderful, caring example of the devotion and joy it takes to intelligently maneuver a proper restoration.
Can I just say it's soooo awesome watching you build your cottage. And the process. I can't imagine the research, homework, and physical work. You are awesome. But with that being said.... I kinda wanna be your mom when I get older. Lol she's so gorgeous, spunky, funny, young at heart. Just so well rounded and awesome. But you're awesome too. Not to take away from you. Lol love watching all of it and all of you guys.
Please don’t burn yourself out!! I need you in my life weekly!! ❤️💪🏻
You make it look so easy. I found the PERFECT house with a couple of acres...an old home made of petrified wood, not too far from where I am now. But it was built in the 50s and it basically needs to be totally gutted and redone. They want way too much for it to start with and even if I could swing THAT, I started adding up what it would take just to make it livable, and then trying to find a loan for it...ugh. I envy you, girl, and I'm so proud of you!
Wow. The floors are looking gorgeous! You got me speechless with the whole process and you both did it, I saw mom helping you, very nice! I learn a lot with your videos
Those French doors looks like beautiful abstract art. I know they are going to be beautiful once everything comes together.❤️
I love that you can do this work with your mom and partner. It just makes me smile :)
The fact you are making over this place is so amazing, someone else may have torn it down. Keep up the great work restoring this lovely place.
You’ve done a wonderful job with your floors. I don’t think you’ve done anything wrong. It’s been great to have your mom be your gopher!
