    why do I feel like crying?? this is one of the most stunning and labor intense projects I've ever seen a single person do. I seriously can not believe what you have been able to accomplish with your own two hands. this is literally a dream kitchen and your eye for design and detail is elevating it even further - the dogs were the right choice! not the mention the beautiful work you do with filming and editing. I can't say much more than everyone else already did, you should just be so proud of yourself.

By time you got to the now video I was bawling so hard that I ended up having to go back and watch again because I couldn’t see through all of the tears and snot lol. You’ve not only built a kitchen on your own, you took us all on a journey as your created art. I’m so grateful and I’m privileged to be able to witness your creation come to light. Thank you for showing us all that was just a little bit of time and patience, we are all capable of bringing our visions to light.

    Even though I said I never wanted to renovate a home again... this whole series makes me want to find an old Hill Country "cottage" and renovate using elements that I have seen you do to your amazing house. The fact that you have done nearly all the work yourself still amazes me. Each reveal that you have done for the house is elevated. The kitchen is beyond beautiful. Its modern yet styled simplistic, airy and homey. This house and your work needs to be recognized by the City of Comfort, Southern Living Magazine, Architectural Design or whatever other design magazines out there . Bravo MaCenna.

She's standing in that breathtaking kitchen looking around and it's clear she feels the enormity of the moment when it all came together. It's overwhelming to see the fruits of how hard you worked - even for those around you and those of us on the sidelines here on YT. I know it hit you hard when you were finished filming and had a moment to breathe and take it all in. 💕🌸💕🌸💕

    MaCenna. I am speechless. I like many others here am so proud and happy for you. I know you won’t be fully satisfied until it’s completely finished but this is HUGE. I’m genuinely amazed at how well you have tackled this project and to be doing it almost entirely by yourself is just incredible. This project is your best work yet. You inspire me everyday to tackle projects around my own home. My husband is active duty army and tackling projects on my own helps me feel more in control of an already overwhelming and changing lifestyle. Thank you truly for inspiring me everyday to just do projects myself and not let any project seem too big. ❤

    Tip: Since raw/untreated wood is hard to clean and absorbs everything, it might be a good idea to put a clear coat or paint the inside of the trash can's cabinet, so in case there are any spills you can wipe it down easily.
