Can someone explain how it’s possible that I get so excited over Macenna’s videos! It’s literally the only thing I look forward each the week😂
relatable!!
hahaha omg your so sweet!
me too!!!
I am not even into DIY but following the cottage come alive, the skill and artistry is the best ever!!
saaame 😭❤
That looks beautiful! I feel the penny tile needs some kind of transition to the floor and walls, it seems unfinished the way it is now. Some kind of pencil tile edge, or maybe even something made of brass, just to hide the grouted edge and finish it off a bit more? Maybe you already have a plan for this? Either way, I commend you for your hard work! It's coming along beautifully!
I was wondering about that also. Bet she has a plan for it since she always has a plan!
Something brass would be gorgeous 😍
I agree, I thought it was only me. Not crazy about the penny tile at all
I agree, they have someone fir that at the tile store. Is it called a Bull Nose trim?? Something like that. Looks like a frame.
I was looking at that and thinking "I can't wait to see her solution for that!". She is so detailed, it will be addressed.
“If it doesn’t work- I’m going to fix it” what a great attitude!
Hi MaCenna! Something I think you should consider is a shower curtain. You could keep it open, hang it all the way to the ceiling, use thick canvas/linen curtains pushed to the right side, and just order an extra long shower curtain liner.
I think that would help the proportion since the tub is off center (curtains pushed to the far right) and will also help with the vibes when you’re in the bath! Steam stays in, you can feel cozy, etc. I have an open bath like this and it really can feel cold (temperature cold and ambiance cold) - and I’m in FL!
Wishing you all the best!
Oooh yes! That and some beautiful plants maybe
oh that would be so pretty
I thought this too! It's never fun to be in the open staring at the toilet! :-)
You've been saying it finally feels like it's a home because of the walls but this for me is when as a viewer I can feel it. It's so amazing to finally start seeing your vision.
For anyone who is wanting to lay their own penny tile:
- DO get spacers. Even professionals suck at laying penny tile and you DO need spacers even though it comes on netting. Just spend the extra $5. It'll be worth it
- DO stagger the sheets so you can hide the inevitable wider grout lines from the above
- DO use a trim piece (i.e. Schluter straight edge) to finish your edges
These are great tips! Schlueter edging just makes the finish so nice. I also find groat release is a life saver for cleaning dark groat off the tile 👍
This!! Penny tile is one of the HARDEST to lay 😩 I’ve talked to so many professionals who say they shouldn’t even make them 😂
Came here to say this. Tile termination is crucial and you definitely need a schluter strip or a reglet reveal or SOMETHING
Maybe she is going to install wood trim at the edge when she finishes the wood floors. I’m not sure how that would look overall but it’s something. If she has to go back and install the tile edging won’t she need to use more grout to set it in? Not an expert on these things ladies.
@@donnacrosleythibault812 The tile edging has to go under the tile. She would have to add a row of tiles if she wanted to add it later .
I love how when she posted a poll a couple months ago asking us which room makeover we're most excited for the guest bathroom was the one that had the least votes, but now we're here and IT LOOKS SO GOOD! OBSESSED
🥰🥰🥰
hi macenna! i’m a display builder at floor and decor and your first at installing penny tile went very successful! here’s a couple tips that i thought would be important to add!
- when cutting the penny tile on a wet saw, i cut it on a thin sheet of cardboard (usually the cardboard backing the tile comes packaged on) in order to prevent the pennies from bending inward when they meet the saw blade, it gives a bit more stability!
- slower is definitely the way to go when cutting tile, and will prevent chipping.
- you can also use stick painters tape on the tile, over where your cut line is to prevent chipping on the surface of the tile as well
- also if anyone was wondering, the tile she used is called La Belle Purity Mixed Ceramic tile, and its no longer available online because its been discontinued.
hope this is helpful!!!
This bathroom reveal is my Met Gala. I’ve been waiting MONTHS 😍
HAHAH SAME!
I didn’t expect the tile will look that gorgeous! With the window. Just gorgeous
I was worried about timing to remove all that grout. So much surface to clean.
Oooooh the scenes you shot at the end of this gave me CHILLS! The way the sunlight hits those tiles above that tub-STUNNING! I love how you were able to save up for that toilet with the window panes too-I’m beyond impressed you managed to handle that on your own, windows look SO intimidating! I can see why you loved that toilet too! Who knew a toilet could look so charming?! Can’t wait to see what comes next!
This girl's hard work, talent and attention to detail is something else. All with a big bright smile on her face. WOW!
You don't realize it's the little things that makes the final project come together just right.
THIS IS SO SO EXCITING!!!
must feel so rewarding after all the insane amount of work you put in.. it’s truly an incredible journey to watch. thanks for inspiring & sharing your talent ♥️
OMG its sooooo rewarding!! such hard work but so much fun!
Hello MaCenna! When can we expect the “All of the Things” merch? I would definitely buy a t shirt or recycled sweater. Also, you give me so much motivation to do things all on my own in my fixer upper. Girl Power! 💪🏼👊🏼
yes yes yessss!
I love this idea!
Looks amazing but did I miss something? Where is the waterproofing?
i think she was joking about the merch but who knows what’ll happen ☺️
@@bc3722 hah yes but it's still a good idea :)
Loving every single minute of this video. Thanks for sharing the progress of your beautiful home. 🙏🏻🤗
Ps: I was in awe when I saw the bathtub faucet 😍😍😍😍
Love it!!!!!! FYI, grout and mortar contain lye, so wear plastic gloves when handling, otherwise the skin on her hands will dry out and flake off. Speaking from experience here, it's terrible. Also, hearing loss is both permanent and cumulative! So wear hearing protection with that saw!
Hi!!! I love seeing everything coming together! Been with you the whole ride!
I did my first tile install and learned the hard way. It’s much easier doing the grout in small sections. It’s not nearly as hard to wash off. 😊 Cheese clothe will also be your friend in taken the final film off.
When you get the beautiful artwork hung for this bathroom, it will be the sweetest, prettiest bathroom around! When this house is finished, I definitely believe This Old House will be calling you up to come do a photo shoot!
i am obsessed with this video. the casual trial and error, how it’s not a big deal if something goes wrong you’ll just “fix it” like you said, casually saying “i can do it” while moving a 300 pound bathtub. definitely channeling all of this energy!! i’m so impressed by the tiling job. i would’ve gotten overwhelmed and frustrated by simply doing the floor let alone all of the walls too
This house is so amazing. The detail work in the trim is so gorgeous especially the Tudor brown!! One question, Have you thought about adding a trim piece to transition the penny tile to the drywall? The trim has such detail I think it would really help finish the room off.
My thinking exactly.
Her attention to detail is impeccable like wow! As a designer I wish contractors cared as much as MaCenna does with all the projects / tasks etc she takes on. You’re amazing!
You always say we decided,I giggle every time cause it’s really you girl
People never understand how much arm work goes into tiling and how much cleaning the tiles need…I’m a professional tiler and I have a tip… during grouting if you use a big square tiling sponge 🧽 damp you can wipe off the grout straight after grouting and doing it in stages means it won’t dry …once it’s dried you can then buff the tiles which saves you doing all that excessive cleaning on dried grout ❤️
That clawfoot tub is giving me LIFE. Having one has been my DREAM since I can remember! Love watching this cottage come to be. 🤍
You are "AWESOME", not afraid of anything. I have done many renovations but you blow me away and also you encourage me to push myself into the scary parts of renovation. I feel myself getting more excited as you get closer to the end. I have throughly enjoyed this journey with you. YOU GO GIRL! I
I am so impressed with your ability to do these things! Wish mothers would show your Vlog to their daughters. Yes you can!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALL DAY, REFRESHING CZcams LIKE IM WAITING FOR MY FAVORITE SHOW TO COME ON CABLE TV. Throwback to my childhood honestly 🤣🤣 love you and I’m SO excited!!!!!
SAME!!
This is gonna be a weird request, but I need to see the water running in that beautiful bathroom! I mean the tub, the vanity faucet and the toilet! You know, like actually flushing the toilet! 😂 it’s wonderful to see your plans come to life! This is so fun and you’re such a badass for doing it all yourself!
MaCenna, I had just stumbled across your videos and I can’t help fall in love with them. Not only do I enjoy antiquing as much as you do, and the love we share for that beautiful old house you’re restoring, but nothing brings me more joy than to see someone who’s generally so happy!!! I pray no one ever robs that joy from you! It lifts my spirits, and I cannot wait to see this home finished and to see many more projects! Xoxo.
The tiling work looks so beautiful, vintage. I'm getting cozy vibes, yet expensive & sophisticated!
Looks lovely. One question: how about waterproofing the tub area?
MaCenna you're a star in every sense of the word. Watching you is so inspiring that maybe we mere humans can actually get up and tackle something beyond brushing our teeth and getting up to go to work. We could be building houses lol Honestly you are a legend, can't stress it enough!! Your future children are soooo lucky to have a mother like you!! 🌟
Oh btw, the bathroom looks stunning!!!!
I couldn't be happier for you! I'm way too emotionally invested in a stranger's home; I legit started crying when you got the tub faucet put in place. So proud of you and all you've accomplished thus far and I can't wait for the next video!
Oh wow, the tile is absolutely the perfect choice. And I love that you painted the window trim in the dark color also.
MaCenna, what if you did a small lip over the bead board using the same stone that will be on the vanity? Similar to how ppl are doing their kitchens, taking the stone up and then creating a little ledge, except yours would be stone, bead board, stone. Food for thought. I think it'll really elevate it.
Otherwise, the bathroom is looking so dreamy!
I am smiling on the inside looking at this bathroom! Such a pretty private place.
The way the sunlight was hitting the tile in the end shot, was so pretty!
Girl. I have checked your pages so many times today! I'm so happy to see you uploaded! I needed a Macenna fix :)
It's coming together so beautifully, I'm just surprised there's no proper shower over the bath as well. The bath faucet is stunning though I love it and the contrast of the tile with the brown, very classy!
I agree for a guest bath that's not ideal. Most people do not take baths nowadays.
@@Jessa8891 definitely! I guess it's an aesthetic decision rather than a practical one, maybe they'll put one in later on!
She has a completely seperate shower area in the bathroom.
@@jmk1962 in the guest bathroom?
@@reneerangihuna8690 - I think so, unless I am mistaken.
When I am tiling I clean as I go. So it’s not on there more than 2-3 mins. Otherwise it’s much harder. Wipe it on with a float. Wipe off with a window squeegee that has a rubber edge. Will make it so much faster for you. For any stubborn bits that have dried too fast use a baby wipe. 😀
MaCenna and Mum. Well done! So beautiful. Looking Ralph Lauren classic. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous.
I feel so invested in this renovation. I'm so happy things are turning out how she imagined. I can't wait until the guest cottages are done. I call first dibs!
As someone who raised 3 boys, you're going to need to waterproof around and under the tub, sink, and (especially) the toilet! You will NOT regret this!! 😁
Just came to say something similar!
I'm proud of you too Macenna. "I can't" is not in your vocabulary and that's your superpower! I think you are amazing!! 🤯🥰
I love the faces you make when you're excited about something.
You help me smile, thank you!
Can this videos be longer??? Never tired of these, love watching your progress.
MaCenna, you can buy one of those foam boogie boards at a sporting goods store and put it under you when you’re on the ground. I do that when gardening and I’ve found it’s much better than just using knee pads.
You truly amaze me! I look so forward to these each week and I’m always in awe of your curiosity to learn these trades, your HARD work and can-do, upbeat attitude. You are an inspiration!
Also for grout I HIGHLY recommend a clean bucket and a dirty bucket of water. Makes cleaning the grout off the surface of the tiles a lot easier.
I love to see your house becoming a home! I’ve been here for a WHILE and have loved watching you pour your heart out into your projects!
You are so amazing. When I saw your dirty hands after grouting when you were showing us the tub, I thought, this gal is the real thing. You get all the things done and you are fearless. And your design skills are going to be showcased magnificently. ❤️
I now see why you were so enamored of that toilet - it absolutely works beautifully with the tub. Worth the expense!
I personally am not a huge fan of penny tiles, but I was surprised how much I liked the way yours looked 😳 Good job!
So adorable!!! This process seemed very painstaking but the results were wonderfully satisfying!!! Congrats on executing countless details and bringing crezendo to the finale!!! I know you are not done but this segment was well worth the wait!!!
My hat is off to you and Romeo, McCenna. What tedious time consuming work you all are doing now! I don’t envy you, but everything is so beautiful! Congratulations on your beautiful home.
Ok!😂😂😂…McCenna!…you and that tub 🛀🏾!!! You are a riot! I love your spunkiness!😂😂😂 Bless your heart ♥️ you are soooo excited!😂😂😂
Wow, MaCenna…the repurposed trim painted in the Tudor Brown looks AMAZING around the windows!! It’s giving me so much joy and excitement to see your guest bathroom done. Penny tile looks amazing also! I am loving it all! 😍
Everything is just beautiful. You are very talented and one of the hardest working people I know! You are amazing!
You are such an amazing inspiration! I love seeing a WOMAN tackle these projects! I am so glad you have brought us along on this journey! I am loving every minute! You're the best MaCenna!
I can't believe the tile looks SOOOO GOOD, I was here from the beginning and now I see this result, congratulations
Omg! Your hard work is manifesting to an actual completed bathroom you did it young lady and that’s for your family support as well bravo
Love your can do attitude! “If it doesn’t work, then I’ll fix it!” 🙌🤗💁♀️
This episode is absolutely lovely! The bathroom looks serene and beautiful and curated. Great work! Your moms moment with the bathtub was adorable.
Oh my word MaCenna your guest bathroom is gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Be proud of this project you have done an amazing job on each project for the cottage. All your choices for the design and decor is gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Macenna, I have to say that I have been watching your videos for a while now, and seeing your beautiful home come together brings tears to my eyes. I am truely happy for you, you deserve all the best things in life and your home will be that much more special when you look around at everything you built with your own hands! Just beautiful!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love how excited you were with the toilet flush … you are such a talented girl 👏🏻
You amaze me with every video. You are one determined young woman who says I can do it and gets it done. I see your vision and this bathroom will be stunning. ❤
Love how it is all coming around! Looking at it, I would penny tile behind toilet all the way to the bump out at the sink area, but not all the way up, just up to the edge of the bump out. Easier to clean pee off tiles than off wall. Love the colour paltte!
She did show a project of brass trim a video or two ago that will finish off the tiles edge. It's such a busy tile being so small that is is plenty for the space.
While I was at a coffee shop yesterday, I noticed another woman watching your video, and it made me smile :) your videos are just a bright happy place on the internet
This is the first time I've seen someone lay penny tile and not been able to see exactly where each sheet of tile was - wow! All of that "jushing" really paid off!
Being here with you for the whole journey makes me inspired to do this when I get a house! So excited to see the end result 😄
You’re such an inspiration x I admire your persistence and how you never do things without testing them first, it takes more time to do test cuts and stripes but it pays off x the bathroom looks great, I aspire to have your work ethics one day x
Seriously you’re everything. I love everything you do. You give every thing so much love and joy. Is just beautiful. Your house is built with so much love and joy and strength that once your friends come visit they will instantly feel the energy you put in.
Macenna, you are a hard worker & very meticulous . This home, your home is going to be magazine worthy, I already know this! 🌿
I know it's a bit late to ask this, but before putting the tub in, did you ensure that the flooring underneath could hold a lot of weight? As someone who has a cast iron claw foot tub if not supported enough the floor can begin to sag over time, due to the weight of the tub + water + person in said tub.
Yea that’s a good point ❤️ my worry was I didn’t see the whole floor and wall surface for the tub area get painted in a waterproof sealer so that the floors won’t get moisture absorption and end up rotting 😳 my sisters redoing her bathroom (I’m in Nz) and her partners a builder and his mates who are painters have been helping and they painted special waterproof sealer paint BEFORE even thinking about putting down tile and grout - because from my memory grout and tile are porous? I mean the whole space is super cute! I just hope it doesn’t get water damage in the future. We have to redo our bathroom (Dunedin, Nz) because the previous owners who had work done, who ever did it didn’t seal in the shower and the gib behind is absorbing water and stuff :/ good luck to maccenna though, I live for your videos girl! I have a big horticulture test today and watching you before I have to do something always gives me motivation 👌
she did do a waterproof sealer in a earlier video,
So I'm pretty sure this particular bathroom is part of the addition to the house which is a concrete base.
@@allybee9900 This is where the old kitchen used to be 💗
@@hayleywise7403 I love how we know we each room is like it’s our own home lol! And how we look after her. I feel like we are in it together, this beautiful journey.
Hey Macenna, I have a thought about the practicality of the tub set up! I’m imagining that cleaning up behind the side of the tub, under the window, might be a little burdensome in the future. Water falling from the side of the tub onto the floor, mold and mildew buildup and the accessibility of getting to that spot to thoroughly clean. Hope that makes sense. What if you maybe built something to go around the side of the tub and then connect to the back of the tub where you have all that open space? Like a custom bench, towel, shampoo holder, something like that that wraps not all the way around the tub but just on the side to the back.
Hopefully that makes sense!!
OMG you are a wizard !! How much work have you put into this guest bathroom ! Hats off to you !
Omg I'm speechless it looks stunning omg like your mom said I'm jealous too!!!!
Looks truly amazing!!! I’m curious why you didn’t use a schluter strip on the edges of the tile by the toilet-are you going to trim it out pretty some other way? So excited to see your progress!!
Girl your work ethic is unbelievable!! You made me exhausted!! Lol! Give yourself credit for everything you’ve done!! You go girl!!! I’m excited for you!!! Linda
I love how the bath faucet contrasts with the penny tile/grout/paint....GORGEOUS!!!!
I cannot click fast enough when a new video comes up! That bathroom is stunning and I’m so excited for everything else. That sneak peek you gave of the chevron design tile 😍😍😍 My mind is blown that you went from VP Fashion Industry to being on CZcams - I’ve watched your videos for so long when you DIY’ed stuff and challenged Lone Fox! You are such an inspiration. I’ve always thought “I can’t do that” to “I want to do that”. Thank you ❤️😘🇨🇦
Love the penny tile with the brown grout, and love the claw foot tub! Your window trim is really beautiful and fits the esthetic of your cottage. You are so talented and I anxiously await every video and vlog! Can’t wait to see the next one!
I AM LIVING for this bathroom/whole reno! it has come together so beautifully and it actually makes me emotional. MaCenna is 100% influencing my personal style and I'm here for it. With love from Australia!! x
Just as I was thinking, “how is she doing that without knee pads!?” You stood up in the dark and had knee pads on. 😍 everything has come out so lovely! As always, I’m so impressed with your sense of adventure to try it all!!!! Great Job!
Ugh! I’m so proud of you! Hard to believe I can be so proud and invested in someone’s renovation that I’ve never met before, but I feel like I’ve known you for years! Yay 👏 👏👏
You are so brave! I am in awe of what you have accomplished. I know you must be proud and you should be. I have penny tile that I am going to use for the floor when I renovate my main bathroom this fall. After watching you install the tile I'm definitely hiring someone to do it. You did an amazing job and it looks perfect but it is way too much work for me. 😁 The trim around the windows is gorgeous. I look forward to seeing the finished bathroom. I think it is going to be spectacular and perfect for a 110 year old home.
Really good job!
LIVING for this part of the restoration!!! I've been here since you bought the house and boy oh boy has this house changed so much into a home.
This is looking SOO beautiful! I can’t help but feel nervous about the lack of water proofing 😅 I know it’s not a shower but I’m just imagining there will still be a lot of water spillage and stuff. Is cement good enough between the tile and subfloor? We were sooo over the top with our waterproofing when we renovated our bathroom because mold is my worst nightmare (after living with it for years in previous rentals). I highly recommend Schluter materials. I’m sure you’ve done your research and everything though. Congrats on the amazing progress in your beautiful bathroom! 🥺❤️
I thought the same thing. If you think that you won't get water places with a handheld sprayer thing, then you got another thing coming. Water sprays way further than you think, even if you are careful. Plus you have to get out of the thing as well and will drip.
In the US, for showers, the only code requirement for waterproofing is mold resistant drywall with tile over the top. So technically, she’s got all the waterproofing she needs on the walls and floors with the tile.
The wood trim is what I would be concerned about… we put pvc boards as the trim on the window that is half in our shower .
Exactly what I was thinking!! I’m a design and waterproofing is essential! I hope she reads your comment before attempting the other bathroom!!
@@freckledspeckled5406 That's not really true - there are many loc. codes with much stricter req. IBC (Sections 2509.2 and 1210.3) For tub/showers or showers must extend to a height of not less than 6 feet (1829 mm) above the floor level of the room or 70 inches (1778 mm) above the drain, whichever is greater - Water-resistant gypsum board may be used as a backing board for tile installed beyond the required tub/shower or shower enclosure walls.
@@walterhobocienski5959 hahaha I hope everyone is making their shower at least 6 feet tall… but my point still remains (especially considering her tile goes to the ceiling): she’s technically got all the waterproofing she needs.
I feel your excitement. It is always so rewarding to see the space coming together. Great job.
MaCenna you’re a beast 😂. I’m binge watching your cottage videos and I cannot believe your tenacity. ❤
you're like everyone's dream contractor. the penny tile looks amazing.I'm so excited..
The netting is typically referred to “mesh”. :)
Figured I’d share since you taught me “plinth” 😅
MaCenna, I started watching your videos around summer 2020, right before I bought a 98 year old house (my first house!). You are very inspiring! Thank you for what you do.
I am SO INSPIRED every time I watch your videos! You're doing such a good job!
You can also get a thinner grouting tool that is around 2” width to get in narrower spaces. :)
I just bought that same Penny tile to put in my new shower Niche! I am so excited for you and your tile job looks AWESOME. I think the shape of Penny tile makes it harder to clean after grouting., I have someone else doing mine, it better be as good as yours!! We are all so excited for you and Romeo! Big hugs!!
I agree this absolutely is beautiful. Love the brown. Thank you so much for not making everything gray.
MaCenna, these videos make my heart so HAPPY!
I’m so thankful that you allow us to go on this incredible journey with you.
The work you do is beautiful and you put your whole heart into it and it shows.
Everything stops when you have a new renovation video out that how enthralled I am in your renovation videos. Lol
Hugs from Eastern Tennessee. ♥️
Having a refinished vintage claw foot with handheld shower myself, I can tell you for certain water will come into direct contact with your tile. Don’t fool yourself thinking you’ll be careful, it’s gonna happen.
exactly what i was thinking. trim for the tile edges would be better too
@@bc3722 we are of course adding trim to the edges those are part of the finishing touches
Your probably right, but also this is a guest bath that we don’t anticipate using often
