    MaCenna! I hope you read this - I think you should seriously consider making the downstairs room into Romeo’s office/guest room and the upstairs larger room into the master. Romeo will have direct access to the laundry and storage for his business and you will have the privacy of having the master upstairs and not attached to the main living area. In the future, you can build an en-suite master using part of the room since it’s so large and part of the closet with window inside. Then you’d have a three bed three bath home. The downstairs room would work so much better as an office - it’s much too small to be a master even though it has an en-suite bath. I can imagine stubbing your toes on the step down during the middle of the night since it’s so tight in there! Sorry for the long comment but I have an interior design degree and that is what I would do if it were my home. Congrats on the purchase!

    • @natalyrausch
      @natalyrausch Před rokem +305

      I thought the same thing! Ultimately it’s up to them, but an office/guest room would be lovely. 😊
      I can also imagine them using that room as a future children’s playroom!

    A wall of bookshelves and the beams brought back to natural wood would really make that room so much more you!

    • @DinainOH
      @DinainOH Před rokem +1

      I'm not sure I'm in to the bookshelf idea. I like that the room has a more open feel and the bookshelves will close it in.

  • @tinamenard4365
    @tinamenard4365 Před rokem +95

    The living room turned out beautifully. And I also agree with the person who said that Romeo's room would be better suited for downstairs. But whatever you guys choose to do I know it's going to be beautiful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful new home with us 🌸

  • @sandrarios328
    @sandrarios328 Před rokem +62

    The fact that your furniture and decor so easily fits into your new home.That house was meant for you.

  • @giuliantoneIIi
    @giuliantoneIIi Před rokem +379

    The vibes of this house are definitely more English cottage (with the roses and the quaint magical atmosphere) + Tuscan villa (brick floors, tiles in the kitchen and the back garden with the lemon tree). Not much of the french provincial, I would definitely leave it behind!
    And that back wall in the living room is screaming for some bookshelves!
    Also, totally agree with someone else who commented on the switch of the master bedroom with the room upstairs and wanted to add that if you switched, both of your closets could be upstairs and Romeo wouldn't have to go that far to access his clothes!

    • @tagalilly

  • @heidigresh2743
    @heidigresh2743 Před rokem +47

    Love how everything is put together. I agree with the idea of eventually swapping your master bedroom to more privacy on the second floor. The present master area could be a playroom/office for Romeo. I think some large live plants would add so much to the main living area.

    • @ang_131
      @ang_131 Před rokem +2

      Or large fake plants. 😂 I think she’s mentioned before she doesn’t have much of a green thumb. Lone Fox had a large faux olive tree that looked really good. Something like that would work and so much less maintenance.

    • @heidigresh2743
      @heidigresh2743 Před rokem +1

      @@ang_131 Agree, and she travels so much to Texas so a fake plant makes sense.

  • @suefoulkes2755
    @suefoulkes2755 Před rokem +25

    You don't need a style because you already have one. If you fill your house with the things you love, it will reflect you. Call it boho, call it Eclectic, it's about you. You have beautiful paintings from your mom and all your flea market buys, the art you created, etc. This is a homemade home. Mixing old with the new is perfect. You will love the results. Trust you heart! You are doin' GREAT!!!!!!

  • @kendallcurtis5593
    @kendallcurtis5593 Před rokem +35

  • @ThrashWitch

    Doing built ins on both empty walls would give your living room a library vibe. I can’t believe your living room looks this good in only a week!

      @nanalynne Před rokem +1

    • @yenvo573
      @yenvo573 Před rokem

      Building off that top comment on making that Romeo’s office, how about builts in for that en-suite? That would definitely be a great space for a moody library/ office. Maybe you could somehow still plan for a Murphy bed as part of the built ins just in case you need a guest bed.

    • @janice5218
      @janice5218 Před rokem

      Personally I think a game table Backgammon or puzzle table centered perhaps surrounded by some type of bookshelves or storage; some thing is throwing me off about the desk it’s either the chair or the utilitarian aspect?

    • @ang_131
      @ang_131 Před rokem

      The desk definitely doesn’t fit in. I’m sure MaCenna can give it a face lift and make it work though.

  • @craftpea
    @craftpea Před rokem +120

    I would say it has a French/Mediterranean vibe. Looking forward to seeing the styling of each room evolve as time goes on. Just one thing…wouldn’t it make more sense to have your bedroom in the private areas upstairs near a nursery and Romeo’s office downstairs?

    • @jojocatattack
      @jojocatattack Před rokem +4

      Wine Country Chic. Oh my goodness, please do not use real candles on the shelf. Too many fires with them.

    • @jojocatattack
      @jojocatattack Před rokem +7

      I agree with the idea of Romeo's office being in the current primary bedroom. Close to the laundry and garage.

    • @vanessak-j8372
      @vanessak-j8372 Před rokem +2

      Definitely leans French country to me. I agree about making downstairs Romeos office. You could use frosted or decorative window film on the glass in the doors to hide office mess.

    • @ghannis6018
      @ghannis6018 Před rokem +3

      Agree. Mediterranean...is the best fit. (There are a few scattered architectural features that seem more like California Ranch, Monterey Colonial and English countryside...but its lack of OTT stylization says it's definitely not a Storybook.)
      Where the French vibe comes from might be the remodel. It seems to me like the back part of the house (likely an addition) was done when 'French Country style', brick floors and two-sided fireplaces were all massive trends.
      She found a gem. I think the best thing about Mediterranean architecture is it's versatility. It's romantic. And it's a clean, neutral backdrop for just about every decor style. Everything in her aesthetic will feel 'right' in it. And it'll give her endless options for how she can change things, over time.
      Also agree: For them to truly settle in for the long-run:
      MBR + future nursery / kids bedroom upstairs.
      Granny / nanny quarters on main.
      Once baby arrives, I'd suggest Romeo's office in:
      Near term: A new office/studio in the garage..if it's a 3-car.
      Just replace the current oversized door with three period-authentic doors (they had a generous amount of paned windows). One of the doors would be his office front (add an interior wall too, of course).
      If it's not a 3 car, add a gorgeous MaCenna-designed shed in the back yard?
      Eventually: Add a new outbuilding.
      I'd cut it into the hillside of the dining terrace. It could eventually be repurposed as a covered entertaining area. That'd leave the area in front available to convert from brick to grass for the kiddos to play on.
      It'd be fun to watch them build any of these. 🙂

      @bcfriardoyle7697 Před rokem +3

      I’m a Mimi with a grandchild 15 miles away. I Have chronic illness; during our move to a new house, new town it was difficult, I agree. Tip: Decide what HAS to be done today (dinner) get that done early, then rest. Take care of a second goal,then rest. Rest yourself throughout the rest of the day. Only way to do it when you’re sick. Some days you wont be able do that. Pray, meditate, talk or read to your baby. You might be “expecting “ too much of yourself. With love- 💕💕💕

  • @skyenglundable
    @skyenglundable Před rokem +12

    The house definitely gives off english cottage or french country. My grandmother had a similar house and French country was very popular in the late 70s early 80s. She put in brick flooring, beams, had similar windows/French doors leading out to a brick patio. This house screams my childhood home and I love it. I’m so excited for you.

    Later when you guys are settled and ready to do some Reno’s i think opening up the kitchen to the little dining nook would give u a better use of space for that area. Even if that wall is a supporting wall taking it out and putting in a support beam and cladding it with some reclaimed wood would look amazing and add to the character of the house plus make the area flow better

Turning the downstairs bedroom into Romeo’s office because it’s next to the laundry area. The upstairs room would be roomier for a master bedroom. Later you can add a master bath up there.

    @sarahheri7027 Před rokem +6

    ya i think it's a hybrid of english and french cottage (because of the windows by your desk and in the formal reception room, and also the fireplace, and the french doors and such)
    architecturally, the english and french cottages are somewhat similar (sometimes, depending on century/decade and area), i think, so it's basically up to you whether you go a little more ornate like the french or a little more rustic like the english - however, a mix of both will probably be best suited to the hybrid-house LOL

    From this video in particular, I got a sense of cape cod architectural design elements in the living room from the beams and wall of windows overlooking the pool. The second you said your gut is telling you to go French provincial with this house I was 100% with you! I can totally picture you making lemonade with homegrown lemons in your warm, moody kitchen.

      Yes, command strip all the way.
      Or, try to find the reference of the paint your landlord used. If you can't, repaint everything with whatever reference of white you like, hang your decor, and when you leave you'll only have to fill the holes, lightly sand and repaint over those little spots with the same paint you used, you'll probably have some leftover. No-one will ever know 🙂. It's more work now but it's not gonna be overwhelming when you move out

You are not a tad bit worried about how you will tackle so much, with the cottage renovations and then a new home, moving out, packing... I mean you make it look so simple and fun, the amount of work that you do is crazy! I would be overwhelmed and confused to even decide where to begin... Your ability to zoom in and zoom out of situations and projects is something I wish I can learn and acquire from you. RESPECT!!!

    Macenna...your decor looks like it found its true home!!! Can't believe how easy this decorative experience was compared to the hard labor of the recent past in your Texas cottage. Whew...you prepared well for this moment!!!

    With the beams (once they are exposed again) and the brick flooring I think it's definitely giving Tuscan vibes! 🫒
    Regarding your desk, why not spray the legs black and stain the wood deeper to compliment your shelves? X

    Put a round desk or table used as a desk in your bay window. Set a couple of chairs there so whenever anyone wants to sit and talk to you while you work there will be a chair there. Everything is so beautiful, I am so proud of and for you. I just love watching every thing you do 😘

    Wow the house is absolutely gorgeous, your decorating skills never fail to amaze me. Right now the living room feels like its missing the distinct macenna flair that you've fostered with the Texas cottage and I can't wait to see that come through as your living room develops. I'm excited for the shelves!! I think it'll fit in perfectly. So happy for you!!!

    If you do the built in shelves you could also do a built in bench in the bay window area. Then you could put a round cafe table in that corner that would double as an office area and a little dining nook.

    I totally agree with the last person. I would definately have your bedroom upstairs - not beside ur living room. You have it as an apartment if u have ur rooms beside one another. Would be better as a library/office/ etc.

    Everything is coming together so well. I love that rug, glad you grabbed it! I also like the idea of the bookcases on the back wall. But to add to that since the office area has such an odd shape maybe you can make your own desk to fit it? That way you can put storage options and such and it will look like it was made for the space.

    I enjoyed watching you personalize your informal living room. It is beginning to look like you now. What fun. My overall impression of the downstairs is that it leans towards Mediterranean style. I think the upstairs could go in any direction you choose. I agree with the previous comments that the downstairs bedroom would work well for Romeo's office but you would need hidden storage for your diy supplies somewhere downstairs if you made that switch.

    This is what I’m here for, what I originally started following your channel at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown. All the decorating videos. Wasn’t interested in all the demo/Reno stuff. Great job. I love the beams white! It ads texture to the ceiling without making your eye go up to notice dark stained beams. You focus on what’s on the floor level more.
