No matter how bad my day is, I always find comfort here. Thank you

[@karenmckenzie3755]

Yes I agree🎉😊

[@dwagnerful]

Regarding pavers: square/basket weave has my vote! Dark shiny tile is perfect!

[@angd6578]

As an diyer I'm just so incredibly impressed with macenna's skills she's really killing it!

[@xomacennavlogs]

awww thank you so much!

[@normapeltier2939]

I agree! I wish I would have had these skills when I was younger!

[@karenhurd9792]

Ha ha ha...Kinsley kept dropping her "cap" in front of you and on the paper you were figuring measurements out on, trying to get your attention🤣 It was sooo adorable!!🐶❤

[@aprilsmith6587]

Can't wait for more renovations. Lots and lots and lots and lots of talk about renovating but no actual renovating. Looking forward to seeing it.

[@luisinacasirola]

I love how much you love your dog. You're so sweet to him/her.

[@QueenChatty1]

This is by far one of my favourite KZbinrs. Macenna is so down to earth and warms my heart to watch her. I just love when she is excited and happy how she scrunches her nose, so cute and so so talented! How she treats her dog is amazing, just imagine if she had a daughter...oh the fun videos to see her dressing her up would be. Such a wonderful family. Thanks for sharing your life with us Macenna!

[@BobiJadue]

YAY I’m so glad you choose the moody option for the kitchen!!! I loved it since the begging

[@jackiedomer4992]

The lighter tile goes with the counter top and black doesn't bring out any other black in the kitchen

[@phyllisgrossetti4511]

Kinsley is sooo cute. She is like a young child, you buy them a toy and they play with the box. I can't believe she gets a spa day. What about you? You totally deserve it.

[@nenayrigoyen8624]

Kinsley is the best dog. Weren't you getting a Yorkie from your mom? Can't wait fro tree to be up. Guess you're waiting for Romeo to help. Happy Thanksgiving to you, your mom, Kinsley and Romeo

[@pagesinked]

@@nenayrigoyen8624 The puppy was her mom's dog lol.

[@laureneharrison8897]

When your mom is done with the pumpkins, there are animal rescues/sanctuaries that will accept them as treats for the residents 😉🐷🐮🐔 just a suggestion! Can’t wait to see the finished living room 😊

[@SeaTurtle515]

We put our pumpkins out in the yard and the squirrels have a field day eating all the seeds.

[@carolashton8543]

Kinsley makes my heart smile!!!!

[@mazie.wilson]

So happy you chose the darker tile. I think that’s the right choice

[@carriemartinez2933]

MaCenna I'm not usually a pup person, but I absolutely ADORE Kinsley!!! Why is she SO CAHHHYUUUUUTE!!!??? She really is just the prettiest, sweetest girl!!!

[@CoriNagy]

I love the dark moody tile!!! It will look so pretty opposite of the dark living room wall. 💕

[@cammyaustralis]

The mums will grow back. Get them into the ground and they'll come back. When the weather gets cold just cut the stems and come in the Spring, you will start to see new growth, then blossoms in the Fall.

[@CatarinaF]

I gave up on TV and I watch your channel instead, I learn new skills, it boosts my creativity, makes me be more confident in trying new things and I feel so accomplished, your videos are amazing, your work is so pretty even when not in the "pretty stage", it makes me happy. You seem so kind, and I never thrifted before your videos, learned that there are other options to buying new, and that it is possible to find great quality second life things. Thank you for *all the things*! Big hug!

[@shelbyfiedler6770]

I honestly love the way the bricks look without being painted

[@lisaintheuk3347]

Kinsley is the sweetest lil thing! She looks adorable!! ❤❤❤

[@xomacennavlogs]

shes soooooo cuteeeeeeeeee

[@lisaintheuk3347]

Her lil cap wore her out, poor thing, but her snuggled up with you on the couch, 🥰 was precious!! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family my dear, all the best to your Momma, I know she must be so excited having you all there for the holiday!

[@avigailsumaylo6253]

Kinsley is too cute! That made me giggle when you mentioned that she likes playing with the detergent cap. 😆😆

[@sherrydaut4910]

I just love when Kinsley drops her toys in front of you wanting you to play. I really liked your Christmas Onsies and the tree skirt with the stockings. I'm getting excited to see your tree to go up and decorating the room.

[@karmad4491]

@@sherrydaut4910 Too bad Kinsley is constantly ignored.

[@nicolemangum5023]

That velvet ribbon is beautiful. Can’t wait to see all your Christmas decor!

[@nicolemarie6740]

With the roses, if you don't cut the spent blooms off you will get rose hips which are also very good for decorating.

[@kaitlincrane_]

I like the basket weave idea with the pavers!

[@1776rights]

Love drinking my coffee and watching this vlog❤ it’s my fav way to start a Sunday!

[@xomacennavlogs]

awww yayyyy! thank you so much!

[@Ehleezah]

I was watching on my tv and had to take out my phone to comment on how good your transitions were in this!!!! At 5:05 when you walked off the screen and then walked out of the house, I thought Romeo was there for a second. And then at 8:00 when Kinsley’s ball rolled off the chair and your pumpkin going in the trunk. SO STINKING GOOD!!! Ty for all your effort, we’d love you even without it but it doesn’t go unnoticed ❤️

[@driesvanwijck]

I love the 'behind the scenes' content! Definitely also getting into the holiday spirit now too!

[@bs4e644]

Imagine on a hot summer day, the side doors and the front door open -- all that cross ventilation. Lol

[@mayrasepulveda907]

I was just starting a movie, but that can wait. Renovation vlogs come first 😁

[@Blaw1001]

The edit where you walk off camera and then back through the front door was SO SMOOTH!

[@tristenevillanyibokor626]

I noticed that too!!! 💁🏼‍♀️👌🏻🤩

[@Cinderella1125]

Love your choice of Christmas ribbon colors. The velvet ribbon is so lush. I'm looking forward to your Tuesday video #3. Your living room reveal is going to be epic!

[@gwenchen1929]

Human chart is very specific to a person, especially the channels on how you work as a person. I definitely recommend exploring them. I was fortunate enough to have mine explained by a teacher. Very interesting 🤓

[@Kiki-yw9kc]

Macenna , I love the way you speak to Kingsley . It never ever fails to make me 😃 smile

[@nisawallace5903]

This cracks me up...she likes moody and dark but her personality is bubbly and light!

[@camille9892]

Fellow Manifestor here! Welcome to Human Design! It's really a synthesis of 7 different systems, not just astrology. Pretty accurate, IMHO. I've studied with different teachers and even helped produce several HD books in my publishing biz. Enjoy the journey of discovering you from this perspective!

[@supernatural5354]

I'm so glad you went with the darker tile! The stone is very beautiful but it gives a cottage vibe and I prefer a more moody vibe.

[@ukdebbielou]

I always call this time “Merry Thanksmas-Christgiving.” It’s when our house is pumpkins and Christmas lights outside and Christmas trees and fall centerpieces inside!

[@sharonmakowsky172]

Love Kingsley!!! She steals the show! 🦃🥰💜

[@carlyvandenbroek4003]

Here in Canada we get the joy of decorating for Thanks Giving at the start of October. Then Halloween. Then November 11th and finally Christmas.

[@kebert2thumbsup]

Canada is doing it right! If you didn't have more snow than us, I'd move there in a heartbeat! ...well maybe you don't have MORE snow, but it's certainly colder!

[@arcoloys]

In Hungary (but most of Europe as well) we didn't have thanksgiving, but we love to decorate for fall. But the Christmas decoration only starts on first advent Saturday, which is 27th November this year. If you have Christmas decor up in your home before that, here you count as a (Christmas)crazy person 😂 expect the shops. They are in full Christmas on early November..

[@kebert2thumbsup]

@Orsolya Hajdu only November? Here in America, the way retail works, Christmas is up by October, but honestly, probably earlier, icr. Clothes too. I live in a VERY cold, snowy area, so it's quite disarming to see shorts and swimwear in the stores in January. Same goes for fall sweaters in July. It's so hot outside, you don't want to think about sweaters!

[@katiebrown7617]

Yesss!!! I’m so happy you decided on the darker tile for the kitchen. It’s what I voted for from the start. Excited for episode 3 of the living room makeover.

[@louiseloving930]

I’m totally addicted to this Chanel it makes me so happy. I love seeing the house come together ❤

[@paigerosner8574]

To each their own, but I love that here in Canada, thanksgiving is tied to the harvest so it happens in the second week of October. That way the fall decor from late august/ September just carries through. Then you can do Halloween mid October to mid November then after remembrance day (nov 11) you can just go full Christmas. I always feel for the American you tubers I follow cause they gotta pivot back to fall thanksgiving. Also, we have a thanksgiving feast day in October and nothing until Christmas, unless you choose to do a football snack fest in November.

[@christinadipinto]

See, THAT is the way to do it! 😅👏🏻

[@debrabostwick1246]

Absolutely love the stockings and tree skirt!

[@nikoniko1965]

I’ve learned walls are rarely ever the same size or completely square! If you measure along the back of the wall in addition to the front of the wall - from the corner front of the wall near the mantel to the other side you’ll make sure the cabinet will fit to the wall in the back in addition to the space in the front.

[@eternity7477]

I love the dark tiles for the kitchen. Can't wait to see it done

[@babimari6966]

Those tinsel remind me of my childhood. My grandmother has always put them on the tree. I live in Europe, Slovakia. The tinsel are legendary 😃.

[@lisagoeke9084]

Human Design is a combination of astrology, Chinese I Ching, Chakra system and more. It's quite in-depth and worth taking the time to understand it. My type is Projector.

[@only1dutchgirl]

When those pumpkins have done their "job" don't throw them away but leave them somewhere for deer to eat :-)

[@Skler00zee]

I did the chart and majority of my results matched yours. I guess it is true that you watch people that makes you feel the connection. Your vision for the living room is going to be immaculate, I can just feel it.

[@scottflentje2390]

LOVE that cabinet that is sitting in your dining room...very nice and fits well in your cottage home.

[@christinaann79]

Kinsley is so adorable. I love my Oliver like you love your kinsley. Wishing you a happy holiday season. Love watching your videos. 😊❤

[@kristafiore9547]

Omg your definition being split could totally be related to your two different life styles between Texas and LA!

[@misslyntheena]

About the astrological and tarot stuff: it doesn’t matter whether it’s „real“ or not. It is real when you hear or read something about yourself and it gets you thinking, that’s what it has always been about. If it resonates with you it awakens your subconscious mind and find answers and solutions that had been buried in your mind before. It’s a lovely tool to help you find solutions to real life scenarios xxx

[@sarahp2307]

Glad you went with this tile, I could tell how much you loved it the first time you tried !! About your human design, you need to get the app. This is mind blowing, so spot on for me as well !

[@maddykimberley6827]

The straight tinsel is called Lametta - we've had it on our family tree every year! We managed to find some vintage lametta in its original packaging made from real metal, it's so beautiful.

[@perryboothroyd495]

I feel like this entire vlog was productive procrastination and I’ve never related to anything more.

[@sherrycopeland3553]

Me: same.

[@JL11775]

Kinsley is everything. Period. 🐶🥰

[@eleondc9802]

Kinsley is one of the reasons why I am excited to watch every episode❤️❤️❤️

[@jeanh5162]

That dog is A-mazzz-ing! Give her a toy &... "hey, I know my job - plaaayyyy!".

[@nancysmith4529]

I decorated in October for Christmas. I light it up on Thanksgiving. That way my hands don’t freeze and need to wear winter clothing. Live up north. Your home is so beautiful. You work so hard.

[@barbarafuller1507]

I live alone with my miniature labradoodle, love of my life! I look forward to your video as & actually feel sad when you don’t post.

[@1111Greek]

Good morning Macenna, Romeo and Kinsley!!! I am addict to your Vlogs. You always do a great job and your taste is very fine. Thank you for sharing!!! Enjoy your Sunday!!!

[@nickiepennington3285]

I absolutely love those chairs. Every time I watch your videos I keep saying those are great chairs.

[@rebeccavinyard2899]

I slept late today but I made coffee anyway and has to start my day watching what you have going on. Kensley is so precious!! Love her too!

[@ScottyMikeLBC]

MaCenna would you consider using marble remnants for the tops of the cabinet units flanking the fireplace? LUV the mantle!

[@sweetwaaasabi]

I love human design and I’m an astrologer! I still only know the basics of HD, but I’m a projector. It totally explained my experience in the world and especially why my energy levels are what they are. Once you get into the details things get eerily specific so it’s lots of fun to dive into.

[@reneezubaty7926]

You give off such a warm feeling MaCenna. Thank you!

[@patrician3678]

Holidays are such a stressful time of the year, your videos make me happy. With the price of everything every dollar is painful to spend. Just happy I have my four kids to spend it with.

[@annastasiat.6287]

I love the opening title humming/song. Very rememberable and good for branding! I enjoy humming along every time! I know it’s supposed to be for fall 😂😂 but I hope you can work something similar in each season or keep this one 😂

[@Anastasiaklimovitz]

Omg the human design-yes!! I love hearing about all of this. As a Mani-Gen, all of this makes sense and it’s so you!!

[@rayjean21]

Happy Sunday, right in time for my morning coffee 😊

[@ashlynoe]

I just did my human design chart macenna and I’m absolutely blown away by the results. I’ve been researching them each more in depth and I feel like so many pieces that I didn’t understand about myself are all making sense now. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@sarav9725]

Girl you are killing it!!!! Love your videos I get really excited when I see you’ve posted!

[@donnad.7986]

Omg I’m so excited and ready to watch this… My favorite video of the day, week, month!!! It’s cold here in Florida as well. My son is in the military…stationed in Louisiana… your families home state. Love your vlogs, videos style & more.

[@janegould7403]

I had to laugh at your comment about Kinsley. I always say my dog is the love of my life. My husband is quite accepting of it. Lolx

[@biggyziggy5777]

I thought the Christmas tree skirt was a poncho 🤣🤣

[@Kayla32454]

Yay I’m so excited for the dark tile in the kitchen!

[@MaryseRacine7640]

You won’t regret your shiny tiles. They ARE beautiful and they will be very easy to clean. Don’t forget to seal the grout because the heat will darken it. I didn’t think it was necessary but I change my stove with controls in front of it so, no head. The heat of the stove that comes out on top of it has make my white grout very beige. I cannot make it white again☹️

[@leeleescraps]

It’s great that we Canadians celebrate thanksgiving in October so after November 12 it’s Christmas all the way!!

[@SF-kc6zv]

Lol the detergent lid 😂 my fur baby is obsessed with toilet paper tubes. She loves it when you press down on one end and slide your finger off the edge to make it jump in the air and spin

[@ltlt3477]

Looooved that transition of you going to the back with the tent and then coming back out!!1 Awesome! I just can't wait to see the living room come together for Christmas. You have been putting in work girl--you and your family!! And Kinsley is too cute!! I was wondering if you would be able to mix those tiles for the backsplash, but it may be too much. A;; in all I like the darker one as well but see why Moma liked the lighter one. Still undecided on the pavers for the front. Maybe a smaller square block ion the sides? Whatever you choose will be beautiful!! It always is. Love ya!

[@thinkingbout]

I loved the transition, too, that was really creative! :)

[@KirestenK]

Can't wait for these two rooms are done !!! Yes lots of cabinets and work !!

[@monicateeling8693]

If anybody can do it that'll be you for sure. Remember to get a wee bit of relaxation time too. ❤️

[@vanessawirtz6036]

Omg the basket weave with the square outline is everything!! It’s exactly what I thought of for Drew’s kitchen when he showed us his tile 😂 the synchronicity is real with you two

[@bishop2b394]

I also have a family tree skirt that was sewn by a family member in the 1950's that matches my 1950's dining room tree and decorations theme. The tree skirt was too small so I bought a bigger offwhite one and layered the vintage one on top. It's perfect! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours .

[@RaeC5280]

What a clever idea, I never would have thought of that!

[@RebeccaTreeseed]

Any time I spent too much time trying to convince myself... I regret it. I like the brick so much as is.

[@ReddDaugherty]

I LOVED seeing the behind the scenes of you setting up for the next vlog. You are SO talented. As a musician, this is something I should be doing, but it’s SO MUCH WORK. You make it look easy 😂❤

[@liannebiggar1557]

I love all the empty and half drunk drinks on your coffee table, so relatable 🤣

[@dlsanchez3375]

Kinsley sleeping 💤 on the sofa … ADORABLE 🥰‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Jasmine.A.555]

You are totally a manifester! You should go into your sun, moon and rising sign on one of these Vlogs! Love it :) :)

[@billy9129]

I love how the living room is looking. Like the shelves being wood. The fireplace is looking so freaking good. The Mantel in that Grey tone with brick bottom - it's so beautiful!

[@gardendreamer9117]

Kinsley is so cute…she really wants you to play with her & her cap….😂😂😂❤

[@misslyntheena]

Love love LOVE that you show us how you film stuff and set up the camera, I wanna start a KZbin channel too in the future and you’re my biggest inspiration but k feel awkward setting up the camera and stuff so this was really nice to see x

[@bibit3856]

Kinsley is just the cutest little thing. The way she plays with that cup is just too adorable 🥰. She wants to share it with you and show you her new toy. My heart is melting.

[@grettagiesbrecht5772]

I look forward to your Sunday video each week! In Canada our thanksgiving is always on October. It makes separating Christmas and fall decorating so much easier. I can see how it would be difficult to hold off decorating for Christmas with such a small window.

[@pattirichardson4956]

Your videos are amazing. -5 C ... snowing , feels like -11 with wind chill, where I am in Ontario Canada while I watch. My dog (blue merle border collie) loves the snow.

[@brittanywilliams5189]

My watching macenna buy more stuff that she already thrifted (especially Christmas items like the tree skirt) and getting nervous about when she’ll find the older items and which ones she’ll choose.

[@marilynpruett4973]

One of your videos popped up on my list and I clicked on it... I watched whatever came up next and then went to your page and started watching in sequence... you are an amazingly talented young lady and it's a joy to watch you discover your abilities. So glad you popped up on the list... 😃

[@katiebillings7074]

Ahhhh I can't wait to see it all come together, I'm so invested in "our" house xo

[@pennyhebrank4162]

I have recently been building my closets and I am doing it all by myself. I have found that ordering the wood I need online at Home Depot is very helpful. They pull it and you can just pick it up usually within 1-2 hours! It is possible they have it but have not stocked the shelves. There site tells you how many that store has. I enjoy watching your videos! Kingsley is a doll! Thank you!

[@MaryseMeunier]

I watch a lot of KZbinrs, but I religiously follow a few and I"m always very, very happy to see that you have posted something ! How much joy it will be to see you every day for your vlogmas videos !!! 🥰 I know it is A LOT OF WORK for you ! That's why I want to THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing it ! 🙏💞 You inspire me every time, either it's in doing something myself or it's in teaching me something even if I won't use it. I love to know things... I also get a lot of comfort in all the beauty you share. 🤩 Even though I take New Age things with a grain of salt, I believe that what you project in the Universe helps it to be better ! Hope it comes back to you and fills you up ! About "My human design", my curiosity was titillated. Mine is different from yours and from what I can see and understand, it's pretty much resembling how I see myself. Hummm... Intéressant ! 😊

[@nicole2672]

I just love Kingsley so much 🥰, she is so cute. The way you tell her she is so cute, is exactly how i would tell my Teddy. He has been gone a little over a year now and I miss him so much. Watching you and Kingsley interact is the sweetest. Thankyou very much for sharing these parts of your life with us 🙂💜

[@SeaTurtle515]

I prefer the lighter tile for the backsplash behind the kitchen stove bc I think it contrasts better with the beautiful window trim. I think the dark tile will kinda overwhelm it. BUT, I do see why you like the darker, moody, smoother tile. Either one will look great. Btw, I really like the mixed pattern of the pavers, much more you. Happy Thanksgiving.
