Tudor Brown is my pick, I feel you can really see the richness of the brown. Bittersweet chocolate seems too black on the ceiling (would be a great wall color though). The instant I saw the Natural Linen color, I thought, "if she doesn't pick that, I will try to convince her IMMEDIATELY" XD So excited for you! I love seeing your home slowly but surely come to life. Your videos bring me so much joy!
Yesssss to all of this!!!!
Place a portion of the penny tile over the linen paint sample, to see if it looks good together. The linen might look too yellow.
I agreee
Yes I feel like that color combo goes will with the almost English, equestrian, country style(?) I get from the mirror and phonograph cabinet. I’m just loving this bathroom already!
Tudor!
Tudor brown and linen are my choices, I just enjoy how much they go together.
yayyy! me too! so warm and calming to the eye
Yup! Loved that combo most right away! Rich, elegant, classy colors! Its gonna be a heavenly bathroom!
I wasn't 100% sold on Tudor Brown until you put the refreshed vanity and mirror in the room. It will compliment them perfectly.
Definitely agree! I immediately knew Tudor Brown would be the way to go once I saw all the swatches
MaCenna have you considered Reverre Pewter? It’s a GORGEOUS neutral!
I love the Tudor Brown, it’s calming and I think it looks really cohesive with all of the other colors and elements you have. You also mentioned that the bathroom doesn’t get as much sunlight so that should help the brown look darker, especially on the ceiling and the alcove wall! I’m so excited to see the progress, I’m already in love with everything!
Tudor Brown fits the age and “feel” of the house. Love love the natural linen. Seriously…you are awe inspiring. The house is happy. You can feel it. New life. 🥰
So true! The house seems so much lighter and brighter as the renovations continue. New energy for sure!
Tudor Brown looks sooo pretty!!! I’m already in love with the design of the space :) keep up the amazing work
i think so tooo! its the warmer of the two which i love!
@@XOMaCenna I honestly thought it was the one I liked less but seeing it with the other colours it just looks right! Either way it’ll look gorgeous
I agree. I think Tuder Brown is the way to go.
Yesss tudor brown ftw
Tudor! ❤️
I can't believe how invested I've become in a complete stranger's life. I've been with you since way back when you were doing thrift flip collabs with Drew, but this has drawn me in in a totally different way. I'm proud that I made the same color choices as you and I was yelling at the computer for you to cut that phonograph cabinet in the exact place you ended up doing it. I think I'm ready to venture out and reno a house myself, now! Thanks for the coaching!
I think my favorite part of the “pretty stage” is going to be all the walks down memory lane! She’s come so far.😍
I love the hardware for the vanity, to me it’s not too frilly. They’re the perfect antique touch
Oh gosh I immediately loved the bittersweet chocolate with the true linen! It makes more of a punch and looks more moody IMO!
I'd try mixing the colors and do a sample of the mix! I like how the bittersweet chocolate's cooler tone sets off the warmth of the wood, but the Tudor is nice too.
I think the handles for the vanity are very pretty, but almost feel like a simpler knob might allow the backplate to stand out more. It's going to be so fun to see how this turns out!
Totally agree. I think mixing will probably give the desired color/tone and 100% agree on the door knobs. a simpler knob with the pretty backplate would be adorable and make it less "frilly".
I literally came to say just this.
Yes yes yes! I recently mixed colors for a bathroom makeover and it's life changing!
Yes, all of this! I love the contrast of the bittersweet chocolate but the Tudor brown is definitely more calming. A mix of the two might be perfect. Agree on the hardware, too. Those handles would be pretty elsewhere, I think they're just too much when combined with the back plates.
Maybe a cute little ceramic knob
I have been waiting for this episode!!! You inspire me to SLOOOOOOOW down with making my house a home. I have to sit with my tendency to want everything done right away, even though it's uncomfortable. You inspire me so much to hunt and wait and have patience.
The handles are perfect!! They are definitely not too frilly!! So gorgeous!!
That cabinet sanded down SO WELL. As much as I realllly love those handles, I feel like they are too frilly. The good thing about hardware, though, is you can always change it relatively easily! I’d go with something a little less busy, because that cabinet already has an amazing amount of character! I almost want to see really simple little knobs like the ones it came with!
Same! The ones that came with the little cabinet are so darling, they totally fit the space, so I was really surprised when she was thinking of changing them out!
I agree. She could use those handles on the outer cabinets and use small crystal knobs in the center.
@@Ianthes Agreed, the tiny little button-like knobs it came with will pair so well with the faucet and shower knobs!
I love the plates, but combined WITH the handles, a little too frilly for my taste too
Haha…at the end “this is XO Romeo”. 😂
The Tudor brown looks like it would compliment all the other elements nicely. It’s so pretty! You’ve done an amazing job, can’t wait to see it all finished and styled.
Can we get this as a channel please?
When we built our house, I was looking for a old cabinet for our guest bathroom. It took me 3 1/2 years to find one with the right dimentions and style. You won't believe this, but I found the exact cabinet that you have. It was in amazing shape. I had bought an antique marble top with a 1 ft tall backsplash and a counter sunk sink. I couldn't be happier.
Tudor Brown.
The turn table looks incredible as a vanity. The sink ❤ The mirror, cleaned up. Oh my! Stunning.
Bittersweet chocolate is my pick, I would definitely mix them if you like both. Will definitely give the bathroom a moody look.
I loved Bittersweet from the paper swatch you picked at the store! I think that mixed with the Natural Linen, the floors and the penny tile will just look so stunning.
I have a feeling you'll choose tudor brown but I LOVE bittersweet chocolate. I think it's rich, vibey, and so beautifully dark, plus it matches the vanity really well. I also love that it's technically brown but super close to black. It feels more daring and moody. Can't wait to see this room come together! Following along on this journey has been such a joy :)
So crazy to realize I've been watching you do this for over a year! You've come a long way and its going to be beautiful! 😍
For me, the bathroom colour should hands down be bittersweet chocolate. The drama is everything. I like that the undertone looks a bit cooler than the Tudor brown, and goes well with the cool toned whites you seem to favour. 😊
TUDOR BROWN AND LINEN!!! They have such a calming feel to them. I’m so excited for y’all to be starting the makeover time on the house!🤍
Definitely Tudor brown with linen. I think these two suit the vibe you’re going for. The room would looks soooo elegantly✨
Natural Linen and Tudor Brown. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Definitely ready for all the prettiness making it's way into the house!
From the first list of browns. It was TUDOR BROWN that I was begging you to choose. And a really good level of sophistication there. Delighted to hear you are taking Mom back to Paris, France. You guys are going to have a wild time together. You are both a bit competitive together, and I cannot wait for when you both hit the Paris Flea Market. This interaction brings a great alternative energy through your vlogs:) Memories of all those estate sales.
In time, would love to know more about her and your Dad's project; the one with the water at the end of the property. It looked really interesting. Would be nice to have a peep when the time is right......
I've loved that vanity since the day you bought it! Absolutely adorable! Am not sure if I like the hardware/knobs that you're chosen for it but then again it could end up looking nice when everything is put together. Cannot wait to see how this bathroom turns out. So exciting!
I love that you recapped the whole process from the original vision, to demo, and everything up til now! AMAZING to see your dreams from a year ago come to life
Please turn the mirror the other way with the curve at the top
Super excited for you to be in the pretty stage! Bittersweet chocolate and natural linen looked the closest to your inspiration photos. I personally love the drama and moodiness of bittersweet chocolate and natural linen but I do agree that there is a more cozy and charming aura with the Tudor brown and natural linen.
That’s exactly what I was thinking! It’s the closest to her inspo. I think either color will work, but if she puts a cabinet/hutch on that wall like she wants to, it might blend in with that warmer brown. Excited to see what she chooses.
Watching your artistic/stylistic design process is amazing. It’s so in depth and it feels like a conversation rather than just you talking at us - even though that is literally what you’re doing lolol. It feels educational too - as if you’re not gatekeeping the how-to of design like I feel some diy/decor personalities tend to. I am so looking forward to all these “pretty” videos 😁
Tudor Brown is so beautiful and the hardware for the vanity is just right in my opinion. The bathroom is going to be fantastic💕
Maybe someone has already commented this/ or you know it: but when I wanted something between two colours, I went to the paint department with the swatches I wanted something between them and they actually pulled out this other swatch booklet that covers colors between the references number on the swatch. It was so cool to find exactly what I wanted
omg before i watch this i just wanted to say that i found your video of you making the framing for cabinets then i FELL down a rabbit hole and watched every video of you renovating the cottage. it was such an emotional journey for me watching it (i can’t imagine how you felt) because i plan on building my own house from start to finish in the future and it inspired me so much so thank you for posting all the details you do, it is so insightful and motivating.
O WOW thank you so much!!!!! that means the world to me! this has been such an incredible journey so far!
@@XOMaCenna my pleasure!!! btw i am IN LOVE with the cabinet, i love the wenge color but for your space i think the tutor brown and the natural linen would match the best with the wood on the cabinet and the mirror. and i’m also obsessed with the hardware you found, i hope you can match it with the cabinet you are gonna build!! i can’t wait!!!!
AHHHHHH I literally cannot contain my excitement to see the "pretty" parts start coming together!! You've accomplished so much!! I like Tudor Brown but you could ask the paint guys to mix Bitter Sweet Chocolate at 75% formula so that it's lighter or mix Tudor brown 125% so that it's darker and test those?
Tudor brown looks gorg. Always obsessed with watching your creative flow and thought process. This house is going to be so beautiful and so special. ❤️
Love the bittersweet chocolate with the linen. Looks more classic to me with the brass tapware etc xx
I really like the Tudor Brown with the white linen. Also, the top of the cabinet would make a really unique bowl if you can keep all the stamp on it from the middle or maybe a wall décor piece. I can see lots of possibilities with it.
I'm so inspired by your ability to do all this stuff yourself. I just bought a fixer upper and am excited to try to do projects on my own, too!
Tudor Brown, luscious! The vanity looks so beautiful, the hardware, exquisite! YOU did such a GREAT JOB, you are the best!
Originally I picked Tudor brown right away when seeing the samples but next to the linen color I actually love bittersweet! Both are gorgeous and will compliment the other colors in the space.
Me too!
MaCenna you've come so far THIS IS SO EXCITING!!
thank youuuuuuu :)
The cabinet looks AMAZING!😍 The guest bathroom is going to be stunning! If I had to choose between the 2 brown colors I would go with tudor brown, I think it would tie in more with the cabinet and overall design 🥰
EDIT; Forgot about the hardware! IT'S STUNNING! Love the idea of having the same hardware on the storage cabinet and the vanity 😍
I just want to comment before I watch, I AM SO EXCITED, to see your room makeovers starting! So amazing how far you have come and how much you have done yourself.
I cannot believe I’ve been watching you for over 3 years when you were posting diys and now you’re literally renovating/building this house on your own. Look forward to your posts all week
I definitely think tudor brown with the natural linen - looks stunning!
For the houses in the original rooms of the house you should put a photo of what the room was originally when you bought it. It would be a cool touch to see what each room was before you owned it. For the rooms you added on a photo of the outside before and after would be cool too 😊 love watching this series can't wait to see everything makeover season has in store for us
Your house is going to be absolutely stunning there’s literally 0 doubt about it lol there’s not a chance it won’t be omg I’m so excited to see how it turns out
I really like the contrast between the bittersweet chocolate and the natural linen. but mixing the chocolate and the tudor brown might actually be the way to go to get the exact shade that you want. The cabinet and mirror turned out amazing!
Can’t believe I watched you tour this house when you were just buying to now 🤯 So happy and excited for you! ❤️
I absolutely love the hardware for the vanity!🥰
Right away when you were lining up the brown samples I liked Tudor Brown and when you paired it up with the Natural Linen, I thought that was it! Just my humble opinion, so happy you get to do all the fun stuff now! 🤎
Tudor brown is so beautiful and goes beautifully with natural linen. Love that combo!
I actually enjoyed the construction stage so much that I forgot the pretty stage was next, it's like the cherry on top, this is brilliant!
I'm so impressed with how the bathroom vanity is turning out! I have to admit, I had my doubts. So fun! I love the tudor brown and the linen paints.
Bittersweet is my favorite. I’m a fan of that classic contrast, especially since all of your other finishes and hardware are so classic looking
It might have taken you over a year to get to this point, but it’s also a HUGE Project you’ve taken on, with salvaging materials thrown into the mix. You should be sooo proud af yourself.
The thrifted elements in this bathroom are gloriously beautiful. Can’t wait to see the finished room.Oh - and Tudor Brown and Natural Linen are the colors to go with, in my opinion.
OMG, that vanity is beyond perfect and the hardware is sooooooo pretty! Can’t wait for this room to be finished! Shall we say “Gorgeous”!
I think those back plates would be stunning with a small knob similar to your front door. That warm kinda marbled colour. 😍😍
So exciting to see it start to take shape! The Tudor brown look really good with the linen color! So that’s my pick for sure!
Tudor and linen are perfect together. Love your antique furniture/mirror makeovers, and the penny tiles are perfect. Looking good girl. 😁
Both the cabinet and the mirror were great finds and look great already. So happy we’re back to diying again!
Love those pieces! I was actually thinking the mirror was going to go the other way with the arch at the top. I wonder how it would look the other way 😊
I have thought that from the first time I saw it too, it screams to be flipped over to me.
While the mirror would look fabulous either way, this style is called a shield mirror and is meant to be hung exactly the way she shows it. (I have one myself)
I love the contrast of the bittersweet with that linen color. I also think it might help draw your guest's eyes to that beautiful 100 year old vanity you have restored the love into! Your videos are such an inspiration, thank you so much for sharing your exciting journey with us! You are living my dream!
Tudor brown and I LOVE those handles!!! They’re absolutely GORGEOUS. So excited for this room!!!!
It's a tough choice for sure! But why don't you do a tiny test mixing them just to see what happens? It could be magic!
The Tudor and Linen look really well together. I just love dark and could actually use black and be happy with it. I wish I could thumb up this video 50 times; the DIYs were so satisfying. Glad you guys enjoyed your trip and are home safe. I am so going to enjoy seeing your home come together this year. You guys are fantastic! TFS 😉
As soon as I saw Tudor brown I fell for that. It's such a lovely color. It has the warmth and aged look. Also I love netural with hint of green but for sure the warm green tints are hard to decide. And the one you used is much on cooler side so yes to natural linen.
Bittersweet Chocolate is my pick! The dark colors allow all your accessories and furniture to really standout and creates a very warm and inviting atmosphere. I’m so glad you are using darker colors. I’m so tired of the all white rooms so many do. Have fun!!!
So beautiful, Tudor brown and linen look good together, can’t wait for next episode 🇬🇧😄
Ahh so excited to see more of these makeover videos! Can’t wait to see the penny tile in place :)
I freaking love Tudor brown!
I would definitely turn the mirror upside down. The shape is so interesting, love it!
Bittersweet chocolate 🍫 is definitely my pick! It looks so good with the linen wall color and compliments the vanity cabinet. Tudor Brown looks too close to the furniture and mirror shades. I just like the idea of some more contrast in the room. I do love the hardware but think it’s a bit too frilly and competes against the beautiful shape and detail of the cabinet. I’d go with something more simple or instead of 4 of the frilly ones, go with two of those & 2 less busy options.
The guest bathroom is going to be beautiful. Love the vanity and mirror. I can’t wait until it’s finished.
I really like the Tudor Brown and Linen together. Can't wait to see the colors you choose on the wall
definitely Tudor brown, and them handles on the vanity are absolutely beautiful ❤️
My favorite thing about watching you MaCenna is how you don’t cut corners. It’s not healthy but it satisfies my need for perfection ♥️
Restor-a-finish is the BEST!!! I started team Bittersweet but I wound up rooting for Tudor - I cannot believe it's been over a year of this adventure! So excited to see what happens next
Getting excited for the "pretty stage"! You have put so much hard labor into this cottage. The Victrola instructions or label would make interesting vintage art work and Rub n Buff works well on metal hardware.
At the very least,glued inside the door 😉
I love the attention that has been given to restoring, avoiding waste and doing it yourselves.. It's so commendable! Such hard work.. Whatever choices that are made now about paint colours or furnishings are yours..and they'll be perfect.
Bittersweet for sure. I love the contrast of dark and light. It is a softer calming take on the classic black and white
I love Tudor Brown just because of the softness aspect. I think it matches everything extremely well!
AND MACENNA THAT HARDWARE IS TO DIE FOR. LITERALLY my heart SANK. It is just the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. SO happy!
My favorite is the super dark almost blackish brown. The contrast almost makes it a modern interpretation of a very traditional, historical feeling space.
I think Tudor brown is my favourite because it has some of the comforting rich warmness of barista but it's not overwhelming, while also having some of the classic depth of bittersweet chocolate without being too dark in a room that doesn't get much light. You get a combination of the best of both worlds
I am so happy you are putting the rare and beautiful pieces together to design your home. Your home already has so much character and history
I love the vanity handles they look perfect for the cabinet
I love how the cabinet, mirror and sink look together! Fabulous! Strangely enough, the hardware, I’m mixed. I love the back plates, but not so much the knobs. Although, I have no suggestions about that. If it were me, I would take a backplate and go looking at knobs. Paint colors, I prefer the lighter color you chose and like the Tudor brown best in combo with everything else. But without everything else, I like the darkest brown best.
I know, that’s a real mixed bag and not very helpful. LOL. While the interlude in Europe was really fun, your Reno/DIY/deco videos give me life! So jazzed waiting to see how everything turns out! Your videos have been a real highlight for me during Covid ickys!
I agree. The knobs make it TOO ornate.
Tudor and linen! And the new vanity handles are a great addition.
Tudor Brown all the way! Can't wait to see the room, it's going to be beautiful!
LOVE that you’re staining the cabinet!!! And with those handles…. 😍😍😍 I also love your paint choices. Hard yes to the brown ceiling!!!!!
This is like watching a magic show! Oh my goodness! It is coming together so beautifully. Thank you so much for giving those old pieces a new and improved life. I love it!
I’m so invested. I cannot wait to see how gorgeous the entire cottage turns out to be
I was a little sceptical about the brown at first but I absolutely love it. I would be trying to mix the two browns and do a test swatch just to see😂. I love the hardware for the cabinet 😍
Whenever you are cutting wood (especially old wood) I’ve always used painters tape to help. You can draw a straight line to help follow, and it also helps prevent splinters/taking away unnecessary bits of wood!
Loving this and can’t wait for more design!
The bittersweet chocolate is more modern and would be bolder and more “catalogue” designer and upscale but the Tudor brown would match more the era of your style. I think though, if you want it to still be modern as well as classic, then the more contemporary bittersweet chocolate brown is the better choice
Tudor brown is my favorite for the space. I love the hardware for the vanity!
Bittersweet chocolate for me. I feel that the other design amd decor elements will really pop against the darkest option.
I love everything you’ve chosen for the bathroom, especially the gorgeous door handles for the vanity.! When you show us your paint samples in each of the rooms, could you make sure to also mention/display the brand name, not just the color name code? Some companies use the same names but there are subtle differences in the actual colors.
The second you put Tudor brown up I gasped. It’s so beautiful and deep but not attention grabbing. I loooove it
This video just choked me up! To see your labors of love and respect for this old house is so gratifying.... using the salvaged pieces you've reclaimed, getting the cabinet behind the vanity 'just right" for the bead board, staying up late w Romeo to prime and paint, seeing you build a transom like a boss! And then to see your palette coming together w each element....it makes me unaccountably happy! I've been following you for a couple years now and im just so darn proud of you and Romeo... xoxoxo
I'm digging where you are going with everything. You are so good at what you do, you make it look easy! Also I love how you are when your mom is around. So sweet!
