May I drop a little technique hint on you? To smooth the cardboard edges, a flat file works way better than sandpaper. You don’t need a big one; smaller ones work just fine. Like a nail file on steroids. Another little hint: when the fuzzy things come up on some of that untreated tubing, take a piece of a brown paper bag and rub it like sandpaper on the tube. It will take the grain down without messing with the paint. Brown paper works wonders smoothing wood between coats of paint, too. Learned this trick waaaaay back when decoupage was a big craft trend. After every coat of paint, then after every coat of varnish, we’d sand the piece with a piece of brown paper bag (now called craft paper by some). It took out any dust that might have settled and you could get a very smooth finish. Hope you don’t mind me passing along some ancient secrets. ; )
The antique brass mirror you created turned out beautifully! I'm also very jealous of those leather bound art books you scored at the thrift store. Great job!
I live in Tampa and there is someone near me that regularly donates art supplies to my local thrift store. It's insane all the amazing art supplies I have found there every other week.
I just love that the things I already love are coming back into style! But that also means flea market and thrift prices are gonna go up on my favorite stuff 😭 I love mixing bold, black and white patterned pottery with the natural/organic/clay pottery. My design color palette is like black and white pattern accents, burnt orange (up to kind of a brick red), golden/mustard yellow, warm gray, and cream/ivory. AND aged gold/brass. And lots of plants. 60s-80s mixed with modern touches. So I totally love watching your videos, because a lot of your DIYs already vibe with my stuff! Except for cane. I walk with one, but I don't need it in my decor. 😂
Larri27 girl our color palettes are the EXACT same. I’m really hoping the prices don’t go up too much 😭 I feel like I’ve been living in a wonderland getting such amazing pieces for such a low price!!
All era’s of fashion and style are unique and worked well for that particular time. It was considered “stylish and classic” back in the 80s as well so let’s respect all era’s of fashion. 💯
I love that it gets trendy to have a mix of old and new. I think that is my favorite because it looks amazing as well as it feels like home, if you know what I mean
Glad I'm finally trending lol. I've been collecting old brass things for over 2 yrs. I do find some pieces here and there in Goodwill or thrift stores but most has come from estate sales and vintage/antique stores. I love it. It's sprinkled throughout my home.
Amazing mirror transformation. Beveled mirror for $14.00 and the transformation is right on. The table is unreal I can't believe how real those tubes look.
It’s a good idea to go with whatever style you actually like, not just things that are on trend but you don’t really care for. Trends come and go. I personally still really like that “pink peonies and rose gold” style you mentioned was last decade lol
I remember those particle board tables from the '80's....they were never meant to be exposed, the purpose of them was to be covered with a full length ruffle edged table cover and were used in country/prairie style décor.
Lol. .yes, we girls are showing our ages, lol. . the $19.99 was likely original price. .we used to cover with 70" round cloth and glass top. All my bedrooms had them. Wish I'd have re-purposed them when I re-decorated, but now you can get them at the thrift store for a buck, lol. .
The “texture” on the pottery is supposed to be throw lines! (Or mimic them anyway) throw lines are created when making pottery on a pottery wheel, and are formed when you are expanding/pulling the pottery upward/outward. The lines are formed by your hands when creating pottery!
Hi!! I did the same thing to my mirror a couple a months ago! But I'd recommend you to use leather shoe cream in black instead of acrylic. It applies really well and gives the perfect metal effect over the paint! To seal everything I finished it with the same cream but in clear and it looks amazing!
I SO love Sunday mornings with coffee and XO Macenna! My son has been my thrift hunting buddy since birth, and he’s 7 years old now. We love watching your channel and we’re both so inspired by your decor upcycling and decorators vision!
Macenna, I always love the way u pick up the latest trend and find an incredible way to copy it, and at the greatest prices! You're fenominal! I always have to click on as soon as I see a new video from you!
Those brass swans were in my childhood. I can't remember if it was my aunt or my grandmother who had them, but I remember loving them and thinking they were so pretty.
Enjoying going back to 1981. Had the color scheme. Back door we painted it a shrimp tint .looked beautiful coming into my u shape eat in kitchen. Then I brought in fresh linen (has great purple tone). Beautiful work XOXO
The first two came out well, but the last diy looked very cheap because you can see the particle board holes on the top portion and the paper roll lines very clearly. The only way I could see of saving it would be using maybe clay or spackle? That way it gives it a feeling of being ceramic or stone?
Had a little chuckle when you showed those cute little brass ducks that you found and loved! I had the same ones many years ago - probably late 1970's. I ended up donating them to a thrift store many years ago! Too funny!!
I have those swans too!!! I bought them at auction for $6!!! I WAS going to sell them but they are waaaaaayyyyy toooooo cuuuuttteee!!! So, I kept them...lol. I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS! Totally have lifted my spirits & motivated me to paint EVERYTHING 💚
I prefer the way your 80’s table came out I Love how the tubes look like bamboo shoots it gives the table diminution and it tells a story 🥳👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻 You nailed this look ❤️
Ugh! Those paint colors remind me of the 1970s - yes, I lived through them in a series of apartments after I graduated from high school. UGH! The only thing missing is the olive green - oh wait... I love what you did with the mirror.
J Annibal I’ve noticed a lot of decor trends in the last couple of years have been a nod to the 1970s - rattan, browns, plants, etc. Everything comes back into fashion if you wait long enough I guess. 🤷🏻♀️
@@TheBurningRoses Yes, but some things shouldn't come back into fashion 😂. I agree with @J Annibal. I lived in houses in those colours before renovating them and I have a distinct aversion to all of them, except the green she has. I always loved that colour.
Lol. I so agree about some of the Browns and burnt orange colors... but..i do love the new trend of grouping baskets on the wall...i still have some from the 70's that I used back then
I would love to see that table with a couple more coats of base coat to smooth out the legs and then finished off with a textured spray paint to conceal the seams, but otherwise a very fun and original video!! ☺️
Textured paste works great! But it is more work than spray paint. So if ur in for spending some more prep time with ur table, u can do that( textured paste--Plaster of Paris powder+glue+ water)
Just watched this video. On the paper tube table, if you repainted it with that baking powder paint it would look like concrete or some kind of pottery.. it would also cover the paper roll lines.. such a cool idea though.
I looove the orange and green color trend this year. Those are my two favorite colors! ☺️ I also love organically shaped pottery, abstract art, and the modern boho trend overall. I've never personally identified with any particular trend. But, when I discovered modern boho, I felt like I finally found a style that had everything I liked from other styles combined into one cohesive concept. 😁 And, on top of that, you can find everything you need for it at a thrift store? ... It's a good time to be alive. 😄
This is a FANTASTIC video! Please do more of these Trends -- maybe how to combine past trends with what's new and upcoming. Your style and delivery is exceptional and I get so excited to see what you present each week. Thanks so much...Mary
I'm living for that table OMG! I love that it's made from recycled materials and the fact that it was just $1. 🤯 it looks so expensive like a marble column but it is Gorgeous!
I’m so happy to have found your channel. I have spring break next week and I’m going to try thrifting and doing some of your tutorials. The table was genius..... I’m going to try with pvc pipe and make a table! Thanks so much for the idea!
The 80s vibes is coming in! I was looking for a perfect desk/task chair and the velvet 80s rounded chair stood out everywhere on wayfair, etc haha. It's a tad huge tho!
Tip for tubes: Auto body wrap places have huge tubes they are always giving away and they are the smooth cardboard.
Oooo great tip 😊
Just a suggestion. I think spray painting those cardboard tubes with stone or granite spray paint would eliminate those cardboard seams.
love that idea!!! thanks :)
May I drop a little technique hint on you? To smooth the cardboard edges, a flat file works way better than sandpaper. You don’t need a big one; smaller ones work just fine. Like a nail file on steroids.

I collect white vases that's why I liked those beautiful vases more in white. But you did a good job anyway.
LOVE earthy tones and all of your DIY items. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and creativity!!
OMG so funny your first trend is organic pottery...I've literally bought 5 pieces this past week while out thrifting! LOVE!
Hahaha!!!! Sameeee!!! 🥰
I work at a family owned pottery studio so I got stoked about that too!!
I love that it gets trendy to have a mix of old and new. I think that is my favorite because it looks amazing as well as it feels like home, if you know what I mean
you described the transition of decor over the decade perfectly 👌🏽💕
Glad I'm finally trending lol. I've been collecting old brass things for over 2 yrs. I do find some pieces here and there in Goodwill or thrift stores but most has come from estate sales and vintage/antique stores. I love it. It's sprinkled throughout my home.

I was kinda bummed when you painted the pottery but they look really good and I love the mirror. Not so into the table but it's a clever idea.
I remember those particle board tables from the '80's....they were never meant to be exposed, the purpose of them was to be covered with a full length ruffle edged table cover and were used in country/prairie style décor.
I was wondering why you'd have a full particle board table...
I remember them too. Not meant for dining, but as a bedside table.
yep, and then maybe a glass top over the cover
Lol. .yes, we girls are showing our ages, lol. . the $19.99 was likely original price. .we used to cover with 70" round cloth and glass top. All my bedrooms had them. Wish I'd have re-purposed them when I re-decorated, but now you can get them at the thrift store for a buck, lol. .

Everything turned out amazingly. I especially love the mirror and the table- so clever!
Those art books!!! Omg!!
MaCenna!!! Get the Rustoleum Metallic Champagne Bronze for a more “antique” looking bronze!!! I DIY’d a $2 thrifted lamp with it the other day!!! 💞
I love the champagne bronze color and have been using it like crazy. So gorgeous!
Excellent!
Zoe Emiko me too 🤣 errrrthang gon be bronze soon!
Yaaaas! Rustoleum antique brass metallic spray everything in the house.
Yup that's the one I've been using also.

Loved them all. Especially the table. Upcycle for the win!!
the cardboard feel is actually quite nice, making it a more updated environment conscious update of the 80s roundedness

When you’re really inspired by this video and want to head to the thrift store but it’s Coronacation. 😑
Marcee Rodgers can so relate gahhh ours are just starting to open again now!! *runs to the stores*
Marcee Rodgers 😱😅🤣😂

Sameeee
A sunday is only complete when xo macenna posts a new video! ✨✨
I love how sustainably conscious you are! X

That table turned out doppppe!!! Wow. Going to attempt that, thanks for sharing your ideas!!
Me, looking around my all-thrifted house: biscuit tones, rounded 80s, brass details, organic pottery.... I'm soooo ahead of the game! 😆
Hi. I love that you tackled an 80's trend table.... I think I would edge the top with a gold metal rim somehow... just calls to that for me. Love you!
MaCenna you are just a blessing girl. You are just made for this. Annointed. Brilliant.
beautiful vases diy, and I agree terracotta is cool!
You and Drew are my favourite diyers ever. Loved the mirror. Good try with the table. The cost was great.
Anna Fieduna love this and drews channel

The only way I could see of saving it would be using maybe clay or spackle? That way it gives it a feeling of being ceramic or stone?
mister palacios That table looked terrible. You can’t make furniture out of particle board and paper tubes.
Agree, that table was a miss
Omg seriously that little table is soo freaking cute!
I love how cohesive all these projects look together! the table ended up so gorgeous, i was skeptical, but you styled it so well!!!!!
Omg ! That table is absolutely beautiful ! Am loving the Scandinavian decor ! Something fresh & new ! Anything is better than farmhouse decor !!
Rub N Buff is another great way to get a antique gold finish and I think its less expensive and goes a long way. Great on mirrors and pic frames etc.
Had a little chuckle when you showed those cute little brass ducks that you found and loved! I had the same ones many years ago - probably late 1970's. I ended up donating them to a thrift store many years ago! Too funny!!
Easily one of the best diy/decor channels out there
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
😘😘😘😘
Hi lone fox
Lone fox please can you do more diy vids and trends for 2021
I have the exact little two brass ducks you have at the beginning of the video. I love mixing new and old x
I have those swans too!!! I bought them at auction for $6!!! I WAS going to sell them but they are waaaaaayyyyy toooooo cuuuuttteee!!! So, I kept them...lol. I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS! Totally have lifted my spirits & motivated me to paint EVERYTHING 💚
PS...you are RIDICULOUSLY talented too!!!
Eeeek! I always get excited when you post something and I get a notification! 💕
Awww yayyy!!! 🥰
XO, MaCenna ♥️☺️
I prefer the way your 80’s table came out I Love how the tubes look like bamboo shoots it gives the table diminution and it tells a story 🥳👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻 You nailed this look ❤️
🌸Can’t think of a favorite but one trend I appreciate would have to be the vintage mirrors 💫*chef’s kiss*💫
I look forward to the exit of grey. Great channel. You are creative with a knack for interior design, and I enjoy your videos very much. Cheers!
Just when I thought you couldn’t get more creative! I am never disappointed! Thanks again for such amazing ideas!

Wasn't it avacado green?
I was a small child in the 70s and my mom decorated so earthy and gorgeous. Must be why I love the look now to me its comforting and timeless beauty.
Yasss no ive seen this Diy with the table but you kick it out of the park
The brass morror looks really really beautiful.
Wow the mirror looked spot on
Lol, I have those brass swans too but a tiny bit smaller than yours, exact poses though. They were my grandmas and I love them!
Wow. I had a dream last night I redesigned a fireplace mantle and decorated it with large round, organic-shaped vases. CRAZY!!
The table was amazing! I love the post-modern 70’s/80’s trend right now 🙌🏼🙌🏼
You can use a matte spray paint as well, if you don’t like a glossy look. This works on paints and metals.
I just love your CZcamss I am addicted! I love your energy and all your wonderful projects! You are my newest CZcamsr/Designer!
Great video Macenna! 💗. I’m enjoy brass/bronze at the moment. My thrifting finds have been so fun
Looking at your background right away I noticed the pilipino fan which I have I’m wishing to get more. I love your creativity.... 💕
That mirror was SO GOOD!!!
Drew has been popular this week. He was mentioned in 2 videos!! Rachel and MaCenna. So proud of him
Love the brass ducks and the mirror...
My friend found those swans at a goodwill here in WA and soldered curtain hooks on them! They hold open her patio door curtains!
I would love to see that table with a couple more coats of base coat to smooth out the legs and then finished off with a textured spray paint to conceal the seams, but otherwise a very fun and original video!! ☺️
Or even a wood filler would be easy to smooth out those seams. I feel like the seams showing makes it look so cheap.
great idea!! im definitely going to try so sort of treatment to cover the seams!
Textured paste works great! But it is more work than spray paint. So if ur in for spending some more prep time with ur table, u can do that( textured paste--Plaster of Paris powder+glue+ water)
Love love love the table. What a great idea
That mirror turned out great.
That fabric-tube table is to die for. I'm thinking you could probably use pool noodles.
Just watched this video. On the paper tube table, if you repainted it with that baking powder paint it would look like concrete or some kind of pottery.. it would also cover the paper roll lines.. such a cool idea though.

That was a great ideal for the table, turned out so well. Color choice was super an looks so good with the chairs, in that area.
New Macenna and Drew videos. A perfect Sunday with a cup of ☕
love that 😋
Omg the swans are the cutest
i love this mirror idea.... cant wait to try it !!!!
Love the mirror, great idea with the black paint. I have a old mirror that I am going to try that on, thx!
There's an antique wax you can use for the aged look to brass/gold paint.
This is a FANTASTIC video! Please do more of these Trends -- maybe how to combine past trends with what's new and upcoming. Your style and delivery is exceptional and I get so excited to see what you present each week. Thanks so much...Mary
Great ideas! I think I would use a textured spray paint for the cardboard, maybe stone or something.
You are very creative! I can't get enough of your videos!
I'm living for that table OMG! I love that it's made from recycled materials and the fact that it was just $1. 🤯 it looks so expensive like a marble column but it is Gorgeous!
Binge watching all your videos 😍😍😍 you are so so talented ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m so happy to have found your channel. I have spring break next week and I’m going to try thrifting and doing some of your tutorials. The table was genius..... I’m going to try with pvc pipe and make a table! Thanks so much for the idea!
I really enjoyed this video. I love how you decorate and make things by hand it empowers me to connect with all my decor and furniture.
The 80s vibes is coming in! I was looking for a perfect desk/task chair and the velvet 80s rounded chair stood out everywhere on wayfair, etc haha. It's a tad huge tho!
it is a kinda bulky big style! lol
Love these:) I would spray the cardboard tubes with the faux stone spray paint, would hide the cardboard texture, love that table :)
🖤🖤🖤🖤 you remind me so much of Quinn from one tree hill 😍 also love your DIYs
Hahah I get that a lot 🥰
Ashley maher I tell her that every time I see her!
Ashley maher OTH is my favorite show
The mirror looks great.
I was somewhat skeptical at first, but that table turned out looking amazing!
Love these . That table. Wow! Thank you 🥰
I love the items that you thrifted and flipped. So amazing
Thank you for all the inspiration your videos give!!! Don't never stop making them!!
can't help but think of Britney Snow when watching MaCenna
That mirror and table are absolutely stunning. You're a genius
Fantastic table; I’d add a large piece of natural, warm wood on top !
I love a good beveled mirror. Well done.
that mirror is gorgeous!
Natural vibes, earth tones 😍
The best channel dector & makeover it gave me a lot of ideas for my room..keep going
