a day in the life at the cottage | XO, MaCenna Vlogs

[@gabrielexpedito2253]

I always watch your videos with my husband. He doesn't speak english as I do, so I end up being his translator. We're obessed with your contents and how welcoming you are! This channel is so precious to my husband and I. I feel like you became our 1st best series ever! Please, continue doing this incredible work you do!

[@raqueljoyarlkl1600]

Estamos iguales!! ❤️pero no me pierdo nada de eya desde ke compro esa casa

[@avalonkaland]

Try turning captions on

[@christinach3849]

@@avalonkaland the captions are not always clear… sometimes even broken English or just in the wrong context. And I think it’s nice that he translates for his husband, it’s a bonding experience.

[@katlynvilla3480]

omg this is such a sweet comment! 😭 i love this for you guys!! im glad we all enjoy MaCennas videos together yesss!

[@CloGB]

This is so wholesome, I love it!! ❤️

[@sallysmith4492]

I think constructing eight cupboards is quite productive. Given the slow pace of the window renovation, it seems like you are clipping along. Bentley is an adorable name for a most precious pup!!!

[@ambernicholson6307]

I’m DYING to see the oven in place! You majorly teased us by giving glimpses but keeping it wrapped. Having it out slid in place would probably help with your tile decision.

[@lindabeck4254]

I love knowing that you are doing well. Don't let your bio clock worry you. I had my oldest at 32 and my youngest at 42! Happy, healthy kids that are either keeping me young or aging me quickly, depending in the day! Good luck and remember to make time for yourself😊

[@lauramitchell6725]

My friend had her youngest at 40.( Down syndrome)

[@janetsandham7058]

I had my youngest at 37 ,was a shock ,but shes lovely ,and given me 3 gorgeous grandchildren ,and one on the way ,my first reaction to finding I was pregnant at 37 ,was ,I carnt be ,I'm a grandmother ,grandmothers dont have babies ,after a cry I was ok ,tho ,and love her with all my heart ,shes now 30 herself ,

[@thatkaligirlis]

There's nothing like getting caught up in life and then having a few minutes to relax with the thought, " I wonder if MaCenna posted a new video.. " Boom, she did. I've been on this journey with you prior to pregnancy, now I'm watching these with my 8m old. You radiate joy in these videos and she loves them. A tiny subscriber over here🤍

[@sirenlorejackson603]

Notification gang let’s go

[@cmichelletutorials]

That brindle coat on Bentley is everything ❤❤

[@drmichelle19]

I felt like I just had a nice day with bestie catching up. Sometimes simple videos like this make my day. Thank you Macenna and I hope all is well for you and your family 🙏🏽

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

I felt the same. ✌🏼

[@Amedo98621]

I always wondered how you know so much about interior design, but now I know with your dad being an architect and your mom an interior designer haha that's amazing you've really taken on both.

[@odemonet]

We always love hanging out with you! And I am in love with Bentley And his name! My Bentley has been the best dog ever!

[@alexandratracey8252]

1. I love Bentley and it’s a perfect name! 2. Kinsley attacking the vacuum is literally one of my favorite things! 😂 3. The quilted jacket you were hanging is gorgeous! 4. Black bean is a great protein!! 😊

[@fatimanadeem8630]

Your videos are so precious, I’m always torn between watching them immediately or saving them for when I can enjoy them the most you know like with food or coffee ❤ Keep up the good work❤

[@dianebay6879]

EXACTLY

[@randyw4984]

Yup! Meee too, but then when I see it ‘s only dropped 30 seconds ago…I need to be one of the first 🤩

@@shabz09 well Hi to Dubai from Tucson!

[@SoulEscapeHealing]

same. :)

[@hobbytime9958]

I remember other Mothers of young children being amazed at how much I got done on renovations, but I think they were trying to imagine fitting it into their day beyond the housework they normally did. They would not have realised how thoroughly I abandoned all housework when I was in the middle of such all engrossing projects! (Hey, we ate!).

[@Raven61362]

I can not wait to see the fireplace completed. You’ve done such a great job so far! I’ve learned a lot watching you. I love that you are so freely giving a look into your life. Thank you, take care of yourself!

[@bas2842]

I’m going through a rough time, and watching your videos makes me feel so much better. ♥️♥️♥️

[@bumblebee_ms]

I am too.

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

Completely understand. Here too.

[@susancharbonneau1891]

Can you put all the lighting etc in the guest room? Then all your clothes can go into the closet. Declutter the bedroom. So for my OCD I find it way more relaxing 😊

[@velandrea]

Thought the same! Unless it is already full with other items. I hope she sees this!

[@AyeshaKhan-mc4dj]

20:53 My question was answered. Can’t believe it, makes me feel special 😎. Anyways, doesn’t matter how sooner or late the renovation is completed, coz we just love watching you tackle new projects every week and excel at it. You are doing an amazing job. Sending your way lots of love and power. 🤍

[@AuroraSterre]

I’m happy to see that you balance your content also around doing things in the house that are good for your own feng-shui 🥰 It would not be realistic to only do and show productive DIY content since you also have to run a house so happy to see this video!

[@cindygray4533]

OH, he knows his name💞 Such a good boy💖

[@tearalewis7532]

My late brother Jason who passed unexpectedly last year has a puppy just like your moms and his name is Bentley!! My dad has him now, but they moved to CO now and i dont get to snuggle the little fur ball. So cute! And very good name!!!

[@sherrycopeland3553]

So sorry for your loss. My brother passed away nearly nine years ago. Sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday. I miss him very much. Sending prayers and hugs your way. Have a beautiful and blessed day.😇🙏

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I am very sorry for your loss. Sending you love & healing light ❤🌈

[@kayerin5749]

I also lost a brother this past March and I can't believe how much I miss him! We didn't live close, but I always knew he was _there_. Condolences for your loss from someone who's been there.

[@marycelalopez]

Bentley is perfect for him !!!!! 😭🐶❤️

[@devydeexo]

I love watching Kinsley chase the vacuum 😂

[@merppa9842]

I was looking for someone who wanted to say this too 😂

[@zanyzana66]

My dogs are the same! It’s so crazy with 3 of them (2 schnoodles and a sausage dog)!

[@Melinamania]

The Kinsley content has been so cute and funny

[@natmrk7269]

Wait a minute… does this mean that Bentley is Kinsley’s uncle?? 🤔 😂😂

[@taylorkennard8165]

Literally left the cafe I was in, to sit in my car because it was too loud to listen to MaCenna 😂 love it!!

Please panel fridge soon! Thx!

i actually prefer how you looked in your Pj's and without a makeup, naturally beautiful

YES! Black beans have protein!! 👌 LOVE the fox pillow and Bentley❣

I love your chandelier. It's beautiful, please share the name or where you bought it. I love watching all your videos, even the cement desk one. 😆 love both your channels- I binge watch while at work.

[@carriemartinez2933]

I was just thinking, that I'd love some fall MaCenna time, and here you are!!! You, your Mama, and Drew give me life!!!! You three just bring me so much joy, thank you!!!!

[@TexasFloridaGirl]

Who is Drew?

[@ginal4079]

Oh how cute I just got a new dachshund and named him Bentley a few Months ago how cute

[@julianne089]

To roll a burrito: ( I didn’t see any comments so I thought I’d share my way) I just roll up the bottom a bit and then roll the burrito from one side to the other. You can also roll the top and bottom first but I tend to leave the top open. :) I think but I’m not sure, but you can also heat your *tortilla but leave it soft, roll it, then Put it in the pan to crisp it up if you like it crispy! Edit* wrong word lol

[@vlmason9072]

I want to come and have coffee with you!! So pretty with the evening light and new curtains! 💕💕

[@pman2916]

I don't own a washing machine because I love washing dishes by hand. It gives me time to be still and meditate on things or to watch something.

[@lauralee2248]

You may have an insert from another pillow, just swap it out when you change out the pillows...Bentley is soooo adorable 💞💗thats so funny, we haven't used our dishwasher yet also, I actually enjoy washing dishes by hand. Its been 5 years !! Your parents home is beyond gorgeous , my dream home !! I couldn't let it go ..its soo perfect 💞

[@meganpenfold9627]

I love your positive attitude in life, MaCenna! ❤ No one’s life is perfectly easy all the time, and everyone deals with heartache and challenges. Lately my life has been challenging in some pretty significant ways, and instead of just sitting there wondering if I will get though the next trial, I have spent more time enjoying all of my creative hobbies and passions. It has gotten me through some tough days. Life is meant to be enjoyed. Thank you for being a good example of this!! You have also inspired me to finally decorate after 6 years of living in my house! And I’m loving it!!

[@carriemartinez2933]

I SO needed to see this comment!!!! Thank you!!!

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

Thank you Megan! 💞

[@sandiemercadomartin4899]

Love your new opening theme

[@kayrabey1344]

Love hearing you talk about plans for the Texas house and the yet unseen California house. I was brought up in Northern California but I haven’t been back in 30 or more years. I’m sure it is totally different. I’m fascinated with watching your channel and always wishing you the best with all your dreams.

[@Jaybirdtheword]

Since you brought up the questions, I wanted to ask you! Where did you get those amazing brown leather slip on sandals you’ve been wearing?

[@millymathurin7044]

Not MaCenna heaving 4 2x4 planks at once with no issue 🤣

[@yadycedeno5778]

you can buy a FOX pillow for DREW, He will love that.

[@shondab3177]

I think Lone Fox needs that pillow cover too :)

[@randyw4984]

the music you choose and your graphic are truly the best. I don't get why some influencer use such awful music..... Fun watch congrats to your mom on the new little Bently!

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

AGREED!

[@jamalrana8504]

The new intro is so cozy and comforting 😭 obsessed

[@lorikegley3327]

Omg I love his name! I always save your videos for later so I can watch when I'm relaxed. You give me something to look forward to & I really do look forward to them!

Hi Macenna, I love the pup content! But would you ever consider adopting? 🐶🐶🐶

[@nitwit8086]

I thought that fox looked familiar!! Greetings from Belgium

[@Rollie-go]

Why don't your store your not clothes stuff in the spare room and sit your clothing racks in the closet?

[@msgambate88]

are you going to bring in colour or stay with the white, beige, grey palette?

[@pugpreslar711]

I LOVE the chairs you have now in the living room!!

[@jackcarew9145]

Can I asked you what kinda work you & your spouse do for work , just curious, you can tell me none of your business & I won’t be offended, me & my husband own a antique shop in Maine

[@heatherarcher5360]

Did you put in a garbage disposal? If you did and your dishwasher doesn't drain or throws an error code the first time you use it, don't panic. Be aware that there's a knock-out in the disposal itself that needs to be removed for the dishwasher to drain. It comes with the knock-out plug in it for people that don't have dishwashers

[@carolineholland4178]

Your happiness and positivity is delightful and so cheerful to watch MaCenna! Your channel is brilliant!!!

[@analourdesmojica6899]

You should finish one room at a time to avoid such mess. It's time to make a stop and prepare the organization areas for every room. THEN BUY AND DECORATE!!!

[@melodep275]

I love little kinsley's smile. Also way better that the fox came as a cover because you like to change things out a lot.

[@talyja16]

I love the name Bentley!! ❤️❤️🐶 so adorable 😍 my client's dog name is Bentley; he's the sweetest thing EVER ❤️❤️

[@stellamantikou4978]

It's kind of funny/ironic that I put on your channel to do "life things" (not the bathroom 😂) while yours get backed up. Anyway, thank you for the great company and inspiration! ❤

[@velandrea]

I selfishly don’t want you to go to LA because I can’t get enough of the cottage content 😂 Also seems like there’s a lot to get done before the holidays! No pressure you’re amazing and it will get done 💕 But also I may be projecting, I’m working on closet project that I need to finish before Thanksgiving. I got an earful this morning 😅 about how our things are taking up space in the spare bedrooms but we’ll need them for the holidays. Safe travels!!

[@velandrea]

Catching up on the previous vlog and realized your going back for your friends wedding! Enjoy! ❤️

[@SpaceyStacy74]

Girl, I feel ya on getting behind on life stuff! I work and am getting my masters degree and am in my final semester!!! Everything else has fallen by the wayside. And it’s OK!

I would like to now would you be working on finishing the fireplace

[@bschleiss19]

Next time fill the burrito, then place in pan to crisp it.

[@tristenevillanyibokor626]

Why not move the lights to the spare bedroom and move the clothing racks in the closets as a temp options

[@jackiecook4441]

Curtains look a lot better down not nodded. You're doing such a great job you're amazing.

[@margaretzee8162]

Dishwashers use 5-9 times less water - even with a semi full load. Please use your dishwasher!

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

I have remodeled several homes, and all were different... an amalgamation of me and the house style and location. The funniest was my open plan house looking east over the prairie to a 4 story dorm at ETSU. All by itself, it turned into a New York loft! Cracked up visitors. This house on 5 acres at 7000 ft in the mountains of New Mexico has my usual mix from thrift stores, including a couple original Indian art pieces. I have 360 degree mountain views. I so wanted an old Adobe, but were not in my price range and not out of town.

[@lindafagan3833]

Can you please link where you ordered the pillow cover from?

[@emilygilles6669]

You should use your dishwasher! It can be bad for them to sit and not be used!

[@carolelepilleur4789]

HiiMaCenna it is always so nice to watch your videos . Makes my day. I hope you found your video editor to help you . Have fun in LA. ❤️

[@stevemedinas]

You should use the dishwasher to test it to see if it leaks before you finish the kitchen

[@karensaunderssaunders4102]

My neighbor have a black lab named Bentley. Such a cute name for a dog. Your mom’s Bentley is so cute.

[@slosborne100]

I’d love it if you listed your supplies for diy somewhere - wood filler, caulking etc - there are so many variations - knowing you already did the testing would be so helpful.

[@wearethedoucettes9217]

I really liked those vintage chairs you found earlier in the year....for the living room

[@l.e.bingham6643]

Love the chairs in the living room by the windows, always take so time out to unwind and relax if only for a little while. GOD Bless and stay safe.🙏🏾💖🥰💯💫

[@stephaniencruise573]

You could make those adorable plaid curtains into cafe curtains in the dining room. It would provide privacy on the bottom half of the windows, but would let in ALL THE LIGHT up above!

[@barbarashelton6709]

We so enjoy your video! This house project has been so much fun to go on with you,Romeo and your mom. Bless you all,and we hope you two have a very special and happy time in L.A.

[@sandrakicklighter2735]

I think the black beans are protein, but not complete. Teaming them with cheese I think makes it a complete protein but it's a long time since I read Diet for a Small Planet. So there's that...

[@lauravandien2363]

I look forward to the cottage videos so it doesn’t matter when it’s completed. I am hoping you are far enough along to decorate for Christmas. I enjoyed the Vlogmas last year😄

[@OldCinderellaStory]

If you comment early, do you get a response from McKenna? 😉 Every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday I eagerly await your video. Love the Comfort Cottage and can't wait to see the new living room. And I'm really looking forward to Christmas...and bentley is such a cute name for a little cute dog. we have a female named milly.

[@denises9426]

A day off and MaCenna’s video goes live what a perfect day! ❤

[@veronicasalazar-garcia5299]

OK. Burrito rolling, fold the ends in first then roll. Keeps everything tucked in nicely. But as long as it has great flavor that’s all that matters. Love the Fox pillow case. It’s actually nice that it did not come with an insert. It’s easier to store and have different cases for your two pillows.

[@Zahh1998]

Just love hanging out with you! Haha helpin me get ready for work early this morning in Aus 😂❤

[@Rebelhomeland]

Bently is so adorable! I love his color, it's a beautiful mix of color. It is the little things that take so much time. The finishing takes longer than the big stuff. Annoyingly, but neither would work without the other.

[@rani9517]

Looking at that picture on your hud makes me think the dark tile would be gorgeous with the windows it's changed my mind x

[@ginamaria2579]

Safe travels sweetie, thanks for hanging out with us 💕🤗

[@rosemora1603]

I’ve been wondering with kitchen being so high. Are you thinking in a custom ladder or making one 😊?

[@pennylane36]

We built, built in book case/shelves and I painted them with an acrylic enamel paint for durability. You can certainly use wall paint for trim around windows but when it comes to shelves or cabinets, I prefer a harder shell paint so enamel paint works best

[@janspeed2071]

Black beans are a protein!

[@monalingan9523]

It’s always an enjoyable time whenever we are with you. 😁

[@isadoraeasun4391]

Heyy Macenna I know this links to your last video but have you considered extending your dark counter tops into the backsplash? That way you still get the darkness/moodiness without having to add another material xx

[@judyshallstrom415]

There are a lot of really fine tapestry weavers in Belgium . France too. Be sure to visit on your next trip to Europe. Other fine fabrics are woven in both countries. There is a tapestry museum in Lyon that is very nice.

[@whenwillcarmen]

Excited for this video. Your content has been so good. The videos have a cottage feel. Love it!

[@cassiesniffer]

You gotta roll your burrito first, then put it on the stove to crisp it up. Otherwise you can't roll it without it breaking!
