@@XOMaCenna ribbed glass for the doors???? Etched glass or just plain? But definitely glass doors and topper! You've done an amazing job with everything so far... bravo 👏🤌👌
Yes to Drew decorating the guest bedroom ! Just watched your video with the landlord earlier. Brought tears to my eyes. . You have the best aesthetic & you guys are my fave ever ! 🥰
Here is a tip: Stain all your wood first before putting together your project. I was looking at my hutch from the 1970's. It was my parents and they bought it used. Its built really well. Stain first your wood. Then you can assemble it all together and save yourself the extra work. Plus, I would add a finisher to your wood to protect it from the elements in the bathroom. I know it won't be used as much. Wood, is funny sometimes and can easily get chipped or get water stains on it. Just a few tips that came to my mind that I want to share with you. Beautiful bathroom. Yes to the topper for sure!!! :)
"Yes" to adding glass doors to your gorgeous cabinet! "Yes Yes Yes" to finding some vintage wavy glass to use! And "yes" to finding a beautifully ornate topper! You are so incredibly talented, MaCenna. And so extremely inspirational.
I would always recommend doors, just simply so you don’t have to dust as much lol And I agree with a varnish or a finishing wax on the cabinet would finish it off nicely!
I honestly feel emotional seeing everything come together. I’ve been watching since you bought the house and its so beautiful and amazing. You’re doing such a stunning job! Design is basically my whole life, I’m going to school for it and I just got my dream job designing custom cabinetry. You are such an inspiration to me and I can not wait to see everything else you will accomplish ❤️
Doors: YES (especially watching that open flame next to your towels 🫣) haha. Topper: YES 🙌 Also, would you consider adding a glossy varnish to the cabinet? The flatness of the current stain is making it feel a little unfinished. But it’s still so amazing and I can’t believe (but not surprised) you made that yourself!
I agree with you completely Danielle, a nice glossy varnish with the topper & glass door would send your hutch so far over the top, it would be absolutely amazing!! I also think adding some greenery would be just one more added plus!! You are amazing we’ll really beyond amazing, I can’t for all the episodes to come!! XOXO 👏🌸💗💗💗💗
Surprised I don’t see more people mentioning this, yes, I think a glossy finish would make it look more antique and finished and would even out some of the different undertones of the wood that are showing through. Loved the video and such an amazing job on the cabinet, it looks amazing!
That is exactly what that cabinet needs. A glossy finish!! Something felt off, but I figured doors and topper would finish it, but I agree, a gloss to that bad boy…. *chefs kiss*
Yes to the doors & the toppers! I wish you’d trade the woven basket on the bottom right shelf out with an antique tray. I actually like seeing the bottles and that basket seems overpowering and covers too much of the bird picture IMO
Macenna, I’m probably very late to this and you are unlikely going to see this. I have spent EVERY free minute of the last 3 days binge-watching your entire renovation series. Girl, YOU ARE A BOSS. Congratulations for taking this on, acing it and this wonderful space you are creating. I am now caught up and following this along in real time. I wish I would have seen vlogs from the whole year too but that’s too many videos hehe. Absolutely amazing. 💕💕💕💕
Absolutely beautiful! Now: Show of hands, how many of you watching this, Squealed with delight and did the happy hand claps 👋👋👋 (like McCenna and Romeo do when they're excited) when she did the final reveal? Also, Kinsley helping momma put down the new rug for the final touch, was so sweet. 🐕 🏡Comfort Cottage (Home Sweet Home) 💕💕
You appsolutely described how much we have all been so looking forward to this bathroom reveal..such a beautiful bathroom so fitting to the 100 yr old traditional cottage,s look..with a few new and antique items and beautiful cabinets and vanity..and that gorgeous roll top bath ..evdn those cute bird pictures such a lovely room, exerlent !!
“Coping is not a skill I am mastering quickly…” Yep, I felt that 😅 right now I’m reeling from a break up, living in the house we own together. And watching you make this house your own is starting to give me ideas and make me feel a little better about living here alone and making it my own. ❤️
I'm sorry you're dealing with something so difficult. The fact that you can start to begin imagining a place that is your own is a great step forward. I wish you luck. You got this!
I love this room! The curtains are the only thing I would change, I think they steal the spotlight from the pretty pennytile. And they seem a little grandmaish to me, but if you feel like they suit your vision, then absolutely hell yes keep them!
When you’re ready to add plants I think you’d love: Satin pothos (trailing plaint, super easy to care for) would be cute on top of cabinet. Rubber plant (grows tall and skinny, super easy. Stem turns into a branch at one point and rich tones) My favorite, a tiny Angel wing begonia (grows tall slowly, has pink hues sometimes. Easy to keep the size you want with pruning. But is a tropical plant so it will thrive in a humid bathroom. Liked warmth and frequent waters 2 times a week is enough but will get mad if not watered hehe) All do great in ceramic pots! 💕
I wanted her to put a plant on the window sill, or hanging infront of the window, in the corner near the towels. Or, a standing plant next to the tub behind the stool 😌
I don't know why every time you get closer to completing your vision I want to cry. There's is something so satisfying of watching all the work you've put in to your dream come to fruition. This bathroom is beautiful. The peacock curtains are you and they work.
This bathroom is absolutly gorgeous! Yes to the topper and YES to doors with glass. Also I just love the addition of the stool, youre so right, it does help balance the space!
This almost made me emotional! The atmosphere in this bathroom is giving me a sense of peace and familiarity that comes from my grandparents’ house in Italy. I love seeing how all of your vision came to life so beautifully MaCenna! I would say yes for doors and topper! 😍😍😍
I can’t wait till your house is featured in a magazine or tv show and we can all say we watched you build it from the ground up! Such a beautiful bathroom!!!
This bathroom makeover has been such a beautiful journey to watch. Gosh, I remember when you demoed the kitchen cabinets all by yourself. Thank you for sharing MaCenna! 🤎
I don’t know why but I’m actually tearing up at the end of this video. You’ve come so far and your design skills have developed so beautifully. I’m currently renovating my bathroom (which is significantly smaller than this one), but you’re always in my thoughts as I pick out every detail. I hope it turns out as beautiful as your bathroom! 🥰
The cabinet, the brassware, the framed art, the mirror and little glass pieces... They all make me want to move back in time to whatever era makes me feel things like this bathroom does.
I’m in love with your handmade cafe curtains. The Peacock design in the perfect luxury symbol for the space with all the detail designs you have implemented! The colors of the flowers are a perfect compliment to the Tudor Brown also. I vote for adding the top adornment to your artisan cabinet piece, and although it looks stylish without the doors added on, I think it would be a beautiful finishing touch, and would match more closely your overall design. I love it MaCenna! Your ability to conquer the labor intensive projects is impressive, and your eye for design and your talent in putting things together in an era-correct manner is something you can’t learn in school and pull off appropriately without that innate, intuitive more spirit based quality I guess. I’m amazed to see it all come together, but not surprised.
Yes to topper and glass! That hutch creation was incredible!! I feel like the oatmeal curtains would fit better though because the pattern takes attention away from the beautiful penny tile!
Definitely YES to the topper, and the doors. What a peaceful looking bathroom. The curtains are so sweet and I love that they were repurposed. Well done guys. Its lovely.👏👏👏
Stunning bathroom, you’ve done an amazing job. I love how unique and personal it feels. It’s refreshing to see something outside of the same design trends we constantly see. The curtains are the only thing I’d change personally, but I love how different and you they are.
You have come such a long way with your DIY skills! That cabinet is so beautiful and I am so impressed that you built it! YES to the glass doors for sure and YES to the topper. I think the one you currently have fits the scale of the cabinet nicely.
Well, if this is how beautiful and thought-out the guest bathroom is, I guess it's safe to say there will be much much more beautiful details to look forward to in the master bath. I cannot wait. 😍
I can't believe how you are doing all of these renovations from scratch it's amazing really and so fun to watch I don't know what I'm gonna do when you are all done with the place
I hope you save literally everything you sketch for the house and leave it even after you're gone. I'm imagining like 150 years from now someone finding it all
MaCenna, you constantly amaze me! You say, "Oh, I'm going to build my own kitchen cabinets! And I'm going to make my own antique-y bathroom furniture!" and I'm thinking "Isn't that way too ambitious...?"* But you're always completely fearless, and you build up your skills so much with every new project, and the result is always amazing! If ever a bathroom was A MOOD, it's this one! A couple of notes: A few commenters suggested a shinier varnish for the cabinet, but I'm not so sure. I think the matt finish works well with the way the stain came out. I like the rustic moodiness of it! However, I did think the vanity could use more shine to it when you first refinished it, and still do! And definitely look into sealing the gap behind it in some way! Doors are going to be so practical on the cabinet, even though it looks very pretty styled open! I would go with glass! And if you ever want to hide the contents completely, you can line the glass doors with a pretty fabric! Regarding your difficulties with the crown molding, maybe it's the slope in the ceiling that's throwing you off? I can only imagine how that complicates the angles in the corners... it's one reason I'm not even attempting it in my flat (other than that it's also a 70s building with very low ceilings. 😄) Some of the ceilings are sloped and it makes my brain hurt even thinking about having to figure the angles out! *I guess I tend to fear that you're going to be disappointed when it doesn't work out like you imagined, because I recognize some of your perfectionism? I remember when you installed the salvaged bead board and you said something like "I like the imperfect look of old things, but give me a caulking gun and I go crazy!" and I was like "Yeah, that's me, too! Can't turn off the part of my brain that focuses on the small details, sometimes to the detriment of the bigger picture!" It's just that you seem to channel that perfectionism much, much more productively than I do, just tackling things with all that energy and doing the best job that you can, instead of letting yourself get paralysed with fear of failure! You're a genuine role model for me in that way! 😊Thank you for doing what you do!
Ma’am you are living my dreams😊 don’t take your opportunities for granted😄 Woodwork is a skill that I love soo much. I don’t have as many tools and supplies as you do or else I think I’d build a lot more.
Home renovation is a rewarding venture,one of the most humbling experience in my life. Providing one of the necessities in life,food clothes and shelter.
Yes to doors (they’re just practical for keeping dust down but they’ll also be an opportunity to add more detail and hardware!) and yes to the topper (you’re so right and it adds that vintage feel). Looks amazing!
The topper was soooo pretty!!! Definitely would be a beautiful addition once you find the perfect one! And once you put doors on the cabinet not only will it be beautiful but it will help protect the wood veneer from humidity!
Glass doors - yes Topper - yes The bathroom has turned out just amazing! Extremely beautiful and elegant! Can't get enough of looking at it!! Just speechless!!
Literal tears at that reveal. I even got a little misty as you were staining the drawers. The amount of care and effort you put in. The joy you bring to your cottage shows in every room and every tiny moment. Thank you for inspiring us to LIVE in a home with such intention.
That hutch looks so good, and is the perfect addition to the space. I like the idea of glass doors, but I think keeping them simple and square, rather than adding cut out trim details would look best. And I think a cool topper would finish it off perfectly!
Yess on the topper and doors! Whether it’s that topper or you’re able to find another I vote yes ! It would really elevate the look and better resemble a true vintage hutch
I feel like the only missing thing from this video is the excitement from you building an ENTIRE HUTCH!!!! What the heck you did that!!! It and the entire bathroom looks amazing 🎉🎉🎉
This looks great! If the curtains make you feel joy, keep them. From a design perspective for myself, I think they do tone the room towards "grandma's house" and away from the chic look. Perhaps a linen with black horizontal stripes would modernize it just a little bit. But again, this is my perspective and if the curtains make you feel joyful, by all means keep them.
“If you have made it this far..” but it hasn’t been a long vid… woah, 41 minutes, but it felt like only 15! That’s how amazing the process was! What a beautiful transformation, everything came together so good! Definitely your vision is now a reality 😊
Yes to the topper. More wood elegance. Yes to the doors... glass right? The doors can protect your metals, linens. The hooks! The hardware. MaCenna you put the chest together like magic. ⚘🤗
Yes, a topper would look beautiful! I think the glass doors would really bring the vintage look to it. You’ve done such a great job on everything you’ve completed. I’m so excited to see what you have in store for the other rooms. Thank you for being so giving of yourself.
Cake stand w a pedestal to place pretty lotions and potions will give some height in cabinet and pop of green with a faux plant mite brighten up the cabinet. You are so incredibly talented! It’s a beautiful space.
Yes to topper! No drawers. Love what you've done with cabinet! So cozy! Love the curtains too! I didn't realize that you made old kitchen into a guest bath until after you were done!
I would love glass doors on that beautiful cabinet you've made. I think it makes it more finished. A topper can also elevate it more. Its surreal how your guest bathroom feels, I've always been into modern design but I really appreciate your house. I'm loving its coziness and how homey it feels. As always, good job Macenna! Looking forward for the other room makeovers. ♥️
I absolutely love what you are doing with the cottage. We recently retired and are considering purchasing a cottage by the lake. You have inspired me to look for a fixer-upper to customize everything with some fun unique projects. I personally like the cabinet shelves open. Your placement of baskets and other items create their own little vignette. You can always add a touch of season decorations, especially during the Christmas holidays when you are entertaining. The fabric colors and print are perfect. I always refer to shopping at the thrift store as harvesting fabric from the wild. lol My mom did something similar to your curtains. She added some small magnets vertically to the center panels to easily secure them together taking a bath. They helped keep the curtains flush together for privacy. Thank you for all the inspiration and information. You break down projects in a way that easily understood. This makes things I have been wanting to do around the house far less intimidation. I am sincerely looking forward to the rest of your videos. Thank you for doing what you do!
You should use the top of green cabinet with the topper still on and make a sturdy table for a changing table in your bedroom/closet. And when it isn’t a nursery anymore it can just be a nice table for you to use as a makeup vanity.
I shouted yes so loudly when you showed us the topper I could’ve sworn you heard me from here and I live in Australia.😁 Definitely yes to glass doors on the cabinet, to keep everything dry and dust free. Also because it will make it look more expensive, ( and give you the chance to you more of your stunning knobs). What a morning, I feel so spoilt. I watched Drew show his landlord everything he and Marie did to his apartment earlier and now I’ve watched you and Romeo transform an old outdated kitchen into a gorgeous bathroom. You work so hard and you’re such an inspiration to so many people. Your videos always make my day. ☺️
Yes yes yes !!!!! This came out amazing! Heck yes to a decorative topper for the cabinet! It will really give it that vintage furniture feel. I am also leaning yes on doors too. Once you live with the bathroom for a little I think the inside will get a little messy and doors (even ones with glass) will give you a bit of coverage.
Topper for suuuuuure! Doors might be practical to avoid dust over time but it also looks amazing without them. Can't believe how much you did yourself, super happy for you!
Yes to the topper!! Also, I love all the stories about every piece that went into the bathroom!!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I know I’m not the only one who waits for every video!
No to the topper and doors. The cabinet is perfection! The way the towel at the top hangs out and you can see inside without something blocking it gives it dimension. Great visually. Yes to the basket on the bottom, that would be really pretty.
I’ve been waiting for this and it did not disappoint! Yes to glass doors and topper for the cabinet. I hope to see the crown molding soon.. but no pressure. I’m sure it’s going to be beautiful together with the lights. Congratulations, Macenna!
Topper: yes, most definitely. Doors: I wouldn’t but if it’s the look you love than absolutely. Beautiful bathroom! Love your aesthetic. Gentle bear hugs xx
I can't believe that was 40mins, it was soooo engaging! The way you whipped up that giant cabinet and had all your little hacks was so inspiring! Yes please use a beautiful topper! I would say that exact one because it was perfect, but it sounds like you had a project it made more sense for - but something just like it would be stunning. And wow, yes, I'm picturing fluted glass for the cabinet doors. You executed the cabinet so well, and the vintage details like the legs and the moulding on the drawers and your amazing brass doorknobs looked incredible. Congrats on so much coming together at once! It was so nice seeing you pull out all the pieces that you've been thrifting for so long, it felts like easter eggs to see you pull out that stool that I remember you buying months and months ago! Oh, and then just sewing up some curtains with ironing advice, no big deal - you are so skilled and clever! Amazing! What a satisfying video! 💛🌙🌟✨
Stunning! You have put together a room that anyone would want to spend time in. Your attention to detail is spot on. So beautiful. Thank you for taking us on this renovation journey with you. So looking forward to watching more of your inspired transformations.
OMG, I have never in my life seen such a beautiful bathroom. The curtains (I didn’t see the vision originally, but I had faith, lol) came out so lovely. The tile and the CABINET. Just perfection. I say, no doors. I love the towel hanging over. It feels so lived in and cozy. Just divine. Really. I can’t say enough about home much I am in love with this bathroom.
MaCenna!!!!! I am a professional custom furniture maker and cabinet maker. I remember watching your first big wood working tutorial- those two blocky chairs for your LA lawn yard! To see you transition and grow with the craft!!! The hutch you made is beautiful- I would suggest edge banding and staining your components separately to get a more even stain, but dang girl. You brighten my day with your videos.
I'm actually blown away. Things are coming together!!!!! I feel like the cabinet looks good without doors since you can drape things like that towel. Plus, glass will fog up in the bathroom.
The hutch is beautiful! Definitely would look amazing with a topper and doors. Great job on the bathroom! I am still not 100% in love with the curtains though. Maybe something more plain? I feel like it’s a lot.
Absolutely breathtaking! Love how unique this whole cottage is turning out to be. All the finishes and designs are so far from run of the mill and full of personality and warmth and old world charm. I love this bathroom already! Cant wait to see those final finishing touches down the line
Gorg! obsessed with the curtains, I feel like they just bring everything together! Also yes to the doors and topper, and definitely more stain and a finish!
So exciting!!! Remembered viewing you purchase many of these wonderful details that have filled your home , as hoped, with perfect charm and elegance!!! Love everything!!! Put topper up and leave the doors off. Great idea about quaint linens lining the shelves!! So happy to see Kinsley's involvement in these fun design stages!!! She knows when her Mom is happy!!!
I am so impressed with the hutch! It's absolutely beautiful. I feel strongly that the doors are necessary to finish out the piece and cement the antique feel. I like the idea of the topper, and it is something you see more on older pieces, but I think it would also be a beautiful finished piece without one. Oh my goodness, I love, love, love this cottage bathroom, and whatever you spent on that bath tray was well worth it!
We've been waiting for this video for so long, and now that it's here, I feel like I'm getting high off it! Everything is so good, just *chef's kiss* Every decision you made was just full of love, care and thought. This makeover is perfectly done. You are so inspiring with evert you've done and taught yourself on this makeover journey! Thank you!
The bathroom is lovely! The basket on the bottom shelf would be so pretty with those things on a vintage tray so you can see the items. Curtains are so pretty!
Oh MaCenna!!! This is absolutely gorgeous. I am in total awe with all the details. That cabinet your built is INCREDIBLE, I hope you are so proud of yourself. You truly inspire me!
Yes, a topper along with doors / glass inserts would complete the beautiful cabinet that you have built. It is all just gorgeous. It needs to be featured in a magazine.
Yes to the topper and the doors. Beautiful bathroom, exceptional job.
Thank youuuuu 🥰
Agree 👍
TOTALLY agree! Especially with the bins underneath for towels and such, it'll look sooo beautiful and luxurious
Yes! Doors for sure. And a topper would be beautiful
@@XOMaCenna ribbed glass for the doors???? Etched glass or just plain? But definitely glass doors and topper! You've done an amazing job with everything so far... bravo 👏🤌👌
Ughhh Macenna you are too good!!! I cannot wait to come visit you in the cottage when your all done! Can I take a bath in there plz?
Maybe she'd let you decorate the guest room?!
Yes, that would be epic!! Love the Lone Fox Channel 🤍
@Lone Fox And she should have asked you! 👍 about the edge banding since you have done it so much.
Yes to Drew decorating the guest bedroom ! Just watched your video with the landlord earlier. Brought tears to my eyes. . You have the best aesthetic & you guys are my fave ever ! 🥰
U two are theeeee best at everything! Obsessed with your channels! Loved the Landlord reaction video ❤️❤️❤️
Glass doors: Yes
Topper: 100% Yes
Bathroom: Absolutely exquisitely done.
Glass doors with frosted designed like the entry closet door.

Danish oil
This woman amazes me. This entire series has been incredible. Congratulations MaCenna. Job well done.
I honestly feel emotional seeing everything come together. I’ve been watching since you bought the house and its so beautiful and amazing. You’re doing such a stunning job! Design is basically my whole life, I’m going to school for it and I just got my dream job designing custom cabinetry.

Definitely agree with this.
Yes to the doors & the toppers!
I wish you’d trade the woven basket on the bottom right shelf out with an antique tray. I actually like seeing the bottles and that basket seems overpowering and covers too much of the bird picture IMO
Agreed! The bottles are so pretty that they don’t need to be hidden.

So my ex and I renovated our apartment together and coping is such a bittersweet memory. We literally could never get it! Hugs to you.
I love this room! The curtains are the only thing I would change, I think they steal the spotlight from the pretty pennytile. And they seem a little grandmaish to me, but if you feel like they suit your vision, then absolutely hell yes keep them!
I DISAGREE, THE CURTAINS LOOK REALLY NICE 👍
The curtains are THE only thing I don’t like! But whatever makes her happy!
i agree!!
Same. I think a simple linen color or something with smaller detail flowers would have been better.
The print is too large for the size of the curtain panel, plus the pattern doesn't match across each of the panels, making the eye wander.
STUNNING!! Do you ever just sit back and look at these things and say "I did this." Girl, I know I would. Fantastic job, such a beautiful oasis.
I dooooooo!! It’s the best feeling 🥰🥰🥰
When you’re ready to add plants I think you’d love:
Satin pothos (trailing plaint, super easy to care for) would be cute on top of cabinet.
Rubber plant (grows tall and skinny, super easy. Stem turns into a branch at one point and rich tones)
My favorite, a tiny Angel wing begonia (grows tall slowly, has pink hues sometimes. Easy to keep the size you want with pruning. But is a tropical plant so it will thrive in a humid bathroom. Liked warmth and frequent waters 2 times a week is enough but will get mad if not watered hehe)
All do great in ceramic pots! 💕
Heart leaf philandendron would LOVE this bathroom as well and grow so nicely
Imagine a little maidenhair fern as well 😍 ugh I love plants too much for my own good 😂😂 (in a two bedroom apartment with 140 indoor plants)
I wanted her to put a plant on the window sill, or hanging infront of the window, in the corner near the towels. Or, a standing plant next to the tub behind the stool 😌

You should get a brass sign for the bathroom and call it “The Bird Bath”. Every room should be a theme
Love this idea!!!
Yes!!!
That's adorable!
That's what we call our bathroom! My daughter's nickname is "Bird" and her friends dubbed me "Bird Mom." And yes, we have bird art in the room.
I love that idea!💕
This almost made me emotional! The atmosphere in this bathroom is giving me a sense of peace and familiarity that comes from my grandparents’ house in Italy. I love seeing how all of your vision came to life so beautifully MaCenna! I would say yes for doors and topper! 😍😍😍

@@XOMaCenna you’re so welcome.
I look forward to the next project!
Yes to topper and glass! That hutch creation was incredible!! I feel like the oatmeal curtains would fit better though because the pattern takes attention away from the beautiful penny tile!
Love, love, love the peacock curtains!! I was so glad when you purchased that comforter set and what plans you have for it. Looks amazing!!
Definitely YES to the topper, and the doors.
What a peaceful looking bathroom.
The curtains are so sweet and I love that they were repurposed.
Well done guys. Its lovely.👏👏👏
The cabinet build has me so inspired. I feel like I want to try build EVERYTHING now 😂
Same here 😂All of a sudden every nook with free space needs a self build of some kind.
Yes to the topper
Doors: YES; Topper: YES!! that hutch is absolutely incredible! You have such an eye for detail!!
I vote yes for the doors! So happy to see the guest bath almost fully complete 😍
Stunning bathroom, you’ve done an amazing job. I love how unique and personal it feels. It’s refreshing to see something outside of the same design trends we constantly see. The curtains are the only thing I’d change personally, but I love how different and you they are.
You have come such a long way with your DIY skills! That cabinet is so beautiful and I am so impressed that you built it! YES to the glass doors for sure and YES to the topper. I think the one you currently have fits the scale of the cabinet nicely.
Well, if this is how beautiful and thought-out the guest bathroom is, I guess it's safe to say there will be much much more beautiful details to look forward to in the master bath. I cannot wait. 😍
I can't believe how you are doing all of these renovations from scratch it's amazing really and so fun to watch I don't know what I'm gonna do when you are all done with the place
I hope you save literally everything you sketch for the house and leave it even after you're gone. I'm imagining like 150 years from now someone finding it all
MaCenna, you constantly amaze me! You say, "Oh, I'm going to build my own kitchen cabinets! And I'm going to make my own antique-y bathroom furniture!" and I'm thinking "Isn't that way too ambitious...?"* But you're always completely fearless, and you build up your skills so much with every new project, and the result is always amazing! If ever a bathroom was A MOOD, it's this one!
A couple of notes: A few commenters suggested a shinier varnish for the cabinet, but I'm not so sure. I think the matt finish works well with the way the stain came out. I like the rustic moodiness of it! However, I did think the vanity could use more shine to it when you first refinished it, and still do! And definitely look into sealing the gap behind it in some way!
Doors are going to be so practical on the cabinet, even though it looks very pretty styled open! I would go with glass! And if you ever want to hide the contents completely, you can line the glass doors with a pretty fabric!
Regarding your difficulties with the crown molding, maybe it's the slope in the ceiling that's throwing you off? I can only imagine how that complicates the angles in the corners... it's one reason I'm not even attempting it in my flat (other than that it's also a 70s building with very low ceilings. 😄) Some of the ceilings are sloped and it makes my brain hurt even thinking about having to figure the angles out!
*I guess I tend to fear that you're going to be disappointed when it doesn't work out like you imagined, because I recognize some of your perfectionism? I remember when you installed the salvaged bead board and you said something like "I like the imperfect look of old things, but give me a caulking gun and I go crazy!" and I was like "Yeah, that's me, too! Can't turn off the part of my brain that focuses on the small details, sometimes to the detriment of the bigger picture!" It's just that you seem to channel that perfectionism much, much more productively than I do, just tackling things with all that energy and doing the best job that you can, instead of letting yourself get paralysed with fear of failure! You're a genuine role model for me in that way! 😊Thank you for doing what you do!
I've been patiently waiting for this video. There is no words to say how great this looks. I absolutely love it.
Awww thank you so much! I’m so sorry it took longer than I thought it would but I keep telling myself “good things take time” 🥰🛀
Ma’am you are living my dreams😊 don’t take your opportunities for granted😄
Woodwork is a skill that I love soo much. I don’t have as many tools and supplies as you do or else I think I’d build a lot more.
Home renovation is a rewarding venture,one of the most humbling experience in my life. Providing one of the necessities in life,food clothes and shelter.
🖕🖕Thanks for watching ✋
Hit me up I have something for you
Yes to doors (they’re just practical for keeping dust down but they’ll also be an opportunity to add more detail and hardware!) and yes to the topper (you’re so right and it adds that vintage feel). Looks amazing!
The topper was soooo pretty!!! Definitely would be a beautiful addition once you find the perfect one! And once you put doors on the cabinet not only will it be beautiful but it will help protect the wood veneer from humidity!
Glass doors - yes
Topper - yes
The bathroom has turned out just amazing! Extremely beautiful and elegant! Can't get enough of looking at it!! Just speechless!!
Yes absolutely do the topper and doors that will tie the whole look together! So stunning
Literal tears at that reveal. I even got a little misty as you were staining the drawers. The amount of care and effort you put in. The joy you bring to your cottage shows in every room and every tiny moment. Thank you for inspiring us to LIVE in a home with such intention.
That hutch looks so good, and is the perfect addition to the space. I like the idea of glass doors, but I think keeping them simple and square, rather than adding cut out trim details would look best. And I think a cool topper would finish it off perfectly!
Yess on the topper and doors! Whether it’s that topper or you’re able to find another I vote yes ! It would really elevate the look and better resemble a true vintage hutch
I feel like the only missing thing from this video is the excitement from you building an ENTIRE HUTCH!!!! What the heck you did that!!! It and the entire bathroom looks amazing 🎉🎉🎉
This looks great! If the curtains make you feel joy, keep them. From a design perspective for myself, I think they do tone the room towards "grandma's house" and away from the chic look. Perhaps a linen with black horizontal stripes would modernize it just a little bit. But again, this is my perspective and if the curtains make you feel joyful, by all means keep them.
Vertical stripes would make me agree with you. Or a creamy linen with a black ribbon edge.
A place of personal joy. Lovely! 💐
I agree, or just creamy solid curtains
Yeah I agree it needs one modern element and streamlined, simple...kind of inching towards re-enactment or museum like imo.
TF you have a point, the curtains look too granny style.
“If you have made it this far..” but it hasn’t been a long vid… woah, 41 minutes, but it felt like only 15! That’s how amazing the process was! What a beautiful transformation, everything came together so good! Definitely your vision is now a reality 😊
Kingsley is such an amazing assistant. I love how she expertly supervises projects, leaving no detail overlooked. I think she deserves a raise.
Yes to the topper. More wood elegance. Yes to the doors... glass right? The doors can protect your metals, linens. The hooks! The hardware. MaCenna you put the chest together like magic. ⚘🤗
Yes, a topper would look beautiful! I think the glass doors would really bring the vintage look to it. You’ve done such a great job on everything you’ve completed. I’m so excited to see what you have in store for the other rooms. Thank you for being so giving of yourself.
So proud of you, MaCenna. Seeing all the love and work you've put into your home is so inspiring! I'm excited to be here for more pretty progress
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
Cake stand w a pedestal to place pretty lotions and potions will give some height in cabinet and pop of green with a faux plant mite brighten up the cabinet. You are so incredibly talented! It’s a beautiful space.
Yes to topper! No drawers. Love what you've done with cabinet! So cozy! Love the curtains too! I didn't realize that you made old kitchen into a guest bath until after you were done!
I would love glass doors on that beautiful cabinet you've made. I think it makes it more finished. A topper can also elevate it more. Its surreal how your guest bathroom feels, I've always been into modern design but I really appreciate your house. I'm loving its coziness and how homey it feels. As always, good job Macenna! Looking forward for the other room makeovers. ♥️
I was just telling my dad how you've essentially learned how to renovate a home by yourself in a year, you're amazing and I love this moody bathroom 😍
I absolutely love what you are doing with the cottage. We recently retired and are considering purchasing a cottage by the lake. You have inspired me to look for a fixer-upper to customize everything with some fun unique projects.
I personally like the cabinet shelves open. Your placement of baskets and other items create their own little vignette. You can always add a touch of season decorations, especially during the Christmas holidays when you are entertaining. The fabric colors and print are perfect. I always refer to shopping at the thrift store as harvesting fabric from the wild. lol My mom did something similar to your curtains. She added some small magnets vertically to the center panels to easily secure them together taking a bath. They helped keep the curtains flush together for privacy.
Thank you for all the inspiration and information. You break down projects in a way that easily understood. This makes things
I have been wanting to do around the house far less intimidation. I am sincerely looking forward to the rest of your videos. Thank you for doing what you do!
You should use the top of green cabinet with the topper still on and make a sturdy table for a changing table in your bedroom/closet. And when it isn’t a nursery anymore it can just be a nice table for you to use as a makeup vanity.
I shouted yes so loudly when you showed us the topper I could’ve sworn you heard me from here and I live in Australia.😁 Definitely yes to glass doors on the cabinet, to keep everything dry and dust free. Also because it will make it look more expensive, ( and give you the chance to you more of your stunning knobs). What a morning, I feel so spoilt. I watched Drew show his landlord everything he and Marie did to his apartment earlier and now I’ve watched you and Romeo transform an old outdated kitchen into a gorgeous bathroom. You work so hard and you’re such an inspiration to so many people. Your videos always make my day. ☺️
Omg Macenna, you’ve outdone yourself. The cabinet!! Everything is so so beautiful. You did such a good job, I love all about your bathroom! ♥️♥️♥️
I agree! So gorgeous...You're the Best Macenna!!!
@Repent and believe in Jesus ChristAmen! I am a believer in God, Jesus and the holy spirit.
A topper and doors would be stunning!
The whole room is so beautiful, I kept truly saying ‘wow’ out loud. The curtains!!! So happy for you. Xxx
I’ve watch this episode twice. I love this bathroom, thank you for using beautiful colors and not the go to grays and whites.
Yes yes yes !!!!! This came out amazing! Heck yes to a decorative topper for the cabinet! It will really give it that vintage furniture feel. I am also leaning yes on doors too. Once you live with the bathroom for a little I think the inside will get a little messy and doors (even ones with glass) will give you a bit of coverage.
Absolutely yes to a topper on that cabinet!
I agree I think it would add something special up there
Topper for suuuuuure! Doors might be practical to avoid dust over time but it also looks amazing without them. Can't believe how much you did yourself, super happy for you!
Glass doors and it’s a HELL YES to the topper. It would finish it off like *chefs kiss*
Yes to the topper!! Also, I love all the stories about every piece that went into the bathroom!!!! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I know I’m not the only one who waits for every video!
Yes doors & topper on the cabinet!
MaCenna this was AMAZING! seriously in awe of your talent & hard work! so inspiring
No to the topper and doors. The cabinet is perfection! The way the towel at the top hangs out and you can see inside without something blocking it gives it dimension. Great visually. Yes to the basket on the bottom, that would be really pretty.
Add the glass doors for sure!!! I love your idea of adding that top moulding piece as well. It'll really make a difference.
I’ve been waiting for this and it did not disappoint! Yes to glass doors and topper for the cabinet. I hope to see the crown molding soon.. but no pressure. I’m sure it’s going to be beautiful together with the lights. Congratulations, Macenna!
Topper: yes, most definitely. Doors: I wouldn’t but if it’s the look you love than absolutely. Beautiful bathroom! Love your aesthetic. Gentle bear hugs xx
Is there ANYTHING this girl can’t do? You are amazing. I say yes to the topper and the open shelves.
I can't believe that was 40mins, it was soooo engaging! The way you whipped up that giant cabinet and had all your little hacks was so inspiring! Yes please use a beautiful topper! I would say that exact one because it was perfect, but it sounds like you had a project it made more sense for - but something just like it would be stunning. And wow, yes, I'm picturing fluted glass for the cabinet doors. You executed the cabinet so well, and the vintage details like the legs and the moulding on the drawers and your amazing brass doorknobs looked incredible. Congrats on so much coming together at once! It was so nice seeing you pull out all the pieces that you've been thrifting for so long, it felts like easter eggs to see you pull out that stool that I remember you buying months and months ago! Oh, and then just sewing up some curtains with ironing advice, no big deal - you are so skilled and clever! Amazing! What a satisfying video! 💛🌙🌟✨
Stunning! You have put together a room that anyone would want to spend time in. Your attention to detail is spot on. So beautiful. Thank you for taking us on this renovation journey with you. So looking forward to watching more of your inspired transformations.
OMG, I have never in my life seen such a beautiful bathroom. The curtains (I didn’t see the vision originally, but I had faith, lol) came out so lovely. The tile and the CABINET. Just perfection. I say, no doors. I love the towel hanging over. It feels so lived in and cozy. Just divine. Really. I can’t say enough about home much I am in love with this bathroom.
MaCenna!!!!! I am a professional custom furniture maker and cabinet maker. I remember watching your first big wood working tutorial- those two blocky chairs for your LA lawn yard! To see you transition and grow with the craft!!! The hutch you made is beautiful- I would suggest edge banding and staining your components separately to get a more even stain, but dang girl. You brighten my day with your videos.
I'm actually blown away. Things are coming together!!!!! I feel like the cabinet looks good without doors since you can drape things like that towel. Plus, glass will fog up in the bathroom.
The hutch is beautiful! Definitely would look amazing with a topper and doors. Great job on the bathroom! I am still not 100% in love with the curtains though. Maybe something more plain? I feel like it’s a lot.
So proud of you McKenna! Can’t wait to watch your family grow in this beautiful cottage.
Thank youuuuu 🥹🥰
Yes to topper,no to doors,love the peacock Curtains 😍 I 2 am obsessed with birds . Beautiful transformation
Yes to the topper, yes to glass doors! Gorgeous!
Absolutely breathtaking! Love how unique this whole cottage is turning out to be. All the finishes and designs are so far from run of the mill and full of personality and warmth and old world charm. I love this bathroom already! Cant wait to see those final finishing touches down the line
Gorg! obsessed with the curtains, I feel like they just bring everything together! Also yes to the doors and topper, and definitely more stain and a finish!
So exciting!!! Remembered viewing you purchase many of these wonderful details that have filled your home , as hoped, with perfect charm and elegance!!! Love everything!!! Put topper up and leave the doors off. Great idea about quaint linens lining the shelves!! So happy to see Kinsley's involvement in these fun design stages!!! She knows when her Mom is happy!!!
I am so impressed with the hutch! It's absolutely beautiful. I feel strongly that the doors are necessary to finish out the piece and cement the antique feel. I like the idea of the topper, and it is something you see more on older pieces, but I think it would also be a beautiful finished piece without one. Oh my goodness, I love, love, love this cottage bathroom, and whatever you spent on that bath tray was well worth it!
We've been waiting for this video for so long, and now that it's here, I feel like I'm getting high off it! Everything is so good, just *chef's kiss*
Every decision you made was just full of love, care and thought. This makeover is perfectly done. You are so inspiring with evert you've done and taught yourself on this makeover journey! Thank you!
Worth the wait! I’m speechless.
No - Doors
Yes - Topper
Don’t love the curtain fabric but the cafe rod was a brilliant idea.
Take care!
The bathroom is lovely! The basket on the bottom shelf would be so pretty with those things on a vintage tray so you can see the items. Curtains are so pretty!
Oh MaCenna!!! This is absolutely gorgeous. I am in total awe with all the details. That cabinet your built is INCREDIBLE, I hope you are so proud of yourself. You truly inspire me!
It’s perfect , everything completes everything , I could had never ever imagined how beautiful it would end up to look like.. a masterpiece
Yes, a topper along with doors / glass inserts would complete the beautiful cabinet that you have built. It is all just gorgeous. It needs to be featured in a magazine.
Yes to the topper! The bird and the painting above the is perfect as well
Doors yes. Topper yes. But it’s already beautiful. I’m amazed by your skill! Well done!
