EXTERIOR RENOVATION EP3: Restoring Trim & Design Details | XO, MaCenna

[@destri.]

That topper was literally the definition of something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue! 😂😂😂😂

hahahha literally!! you're totally right! the topper and I are married now hahahah or the topper and the house are married hahah

[@wespula1]

Yeah! I literally thought the same! 😂😂

You inspire me to work as well and I couldn’t be more grateful for you and your videos and your positivity❤️I love everything you do, keep up the amazing work and take care of yourself!

@@XOMaCenna I was just wondering after completion, if you have an occasion 2-3 years later of family get together and I know this house is kind of your baby, how careful and discipline you will be maybe possessive we sometimes might become when someone spills something, scratches the paint of the wall.

[@heathercave]

Third Option: I think if the black visible around the window was equal… meaning the center trim board must be wider… it would look great!

[@paulamiller3878]

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Just a little bit wider and it would look perfect.

[@chrismurray2237]

I agree. It would look better if the grey mist board was wide enough to make the black trim the same width everywhere. Then it will be beyond perfect! 👍🏻👍🏻 🌺🌸

[@lmc1996]

I agree, the windows look off center, or the right and left sides look wider then they should. Macenna, you are doing a fantastic job and you are very inspiring! I’m 51 and want to be more like you!! 😁

0:16 in and I just wanna say how buying this house has not only been a testament to your top-notch professional design skills, but your storying telling has improved so much, and watched your channel feels like I'm following an interior designer podcast. so much entertainment and so proud of the journey you are on! thank you for sharing the way you do every week

[@XOMaCenna]

thank you so much for your comment! That means to world to me!

[@estherrouillard7122]

I think i would have gone just a little bit wider for the trim in the middle, so that there the same amount of black showing all the way around the Windows! I absolutely looove your Color choices 🥰😍 it going to be the most amazing beforeafter ever

[@sarzbeth]

Thats what i was thinking, too!

[@michellespettel1616]

Same thought… I love the look but think having the same reveal of black on the outside and middle will make it just that much better.

[@Bl4Bl4]

love this idea!

[@jasminedoyle1724]

+

[@EchoamysDoghouse]

Wider and higher

[@HannahMakesItRain]

I love the trim between the black windows cream more than it being all black! BUTTTTT part of me thinks it should be even a little thicker so there is the same amount of black space on both sides of the window if that makes sense. It looks like there is about an inch of black on the outside of the windows, but then 3-4inches of black between the two. Idk if that makes sense. But I think it still looks fab too!! And I can’t see it from the street so idk what’s best lol you’re doing amazing 💕💕

[@XOMaCenna]

that makes total sense! im going to try and put a thicker board up there and see! thank you!!!

[@siaeva]

Totally agree, was going to comment the same :)

[@pama.4849]

@@XOMaCenna think that will defeat the purpose of making the 2 windows look like one window. It WILL make it look more like 2 windows if you prefer that.

[@babybell3407]

literally the perfect solution I cant imagine the window unit without it!

[@angela_flute52689]

I have a window like this and I'm totally taking that center trim idea. It'll help a lot.

[@aworobetz1]

I love the grey mist trim centre too!

[@janiceapel6414]

Re outside paint colors: This is my personal color test and it’s never failed me. What do your color choices look like from across the street? Up close your “eye” can see the differences you are looking for, but what does your eye see from a distance?

[@catlovernat]

Agreed! At the end I was wondering if we might not see the beautiful topper, from the sidewalk. And it's too beautiful to hide!

[@saraw8503]

I am thinking the topper may be more visible painted black.

[@katetanti2114]

Seeing as you made it a double window ..The Apex of the Topper seems to shrink away a little .. from the Distance in your photo . Of it .. maybe if you Added another piece to the apex piece itself ..it may appear bolder without being too dominant , not a criticism ,mearly a suggestion. ☺

Just wanted to share a tip with the caulking: Rachel Metz mentioned that you can use baby wipes to run over the caulk, as it doesn’t dry out, like it does on the fingers. Never actually tried it but she is a really talented diy-er☺️👍🏼

[@Raymondinakangolhat]

Can you explain I didn't really understand

[@MaleneMaare]

I smooth out the putty by dipping my finger in water with washing up liquid. That's the "official" method in Denmark :)

I don’t think you’re actually supposed to use your finger, you’re supposed to use the caulk gun I think

[@XOMaCenna]

Thank you so much!

[@itsjustanotherphase]

I like the light color center trim for the windows but think the center trim should be wider. Looking great so far!

[@ahooten1955]

I was thinking the dame thing.

[@chrisccain]

Been watching every Sunday and I can’t wait to see how the house turns out in the end. I think you should try a wider board in between the double windows. This way you keep the black boarder the same width around the outside of the windows. I think it will help with the balance. Keep up the amazing work!!! Can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@leannamartin6064]

100%

[@Mhs3791]

I agree completely! That would calm my perfectionist’s mind! 🤪 Can’t wait to see a new episode every Sunday!

[@elinakatarii]

Yes please this perfectionist would also love to see a wider white piece there to cover more of the black 🤣 The exterior is going to look amazing though 😍

[@Edu_Kate]

No. Then that board is wider than the lighter trim boards around the window. Same situation, different color. It's perfect as is.

[@chrisccain]

@@Edu_Kate yeah but the weight of the board in the middle should naturally be wider. The two on the outside are smaller so you have to find a balance in the middle. If those windows were on their own they would have the same thickness all the way around. But they mash up to one another in the middle so it should be wider. You have to look at the boarder around the inside of the window. The black boarder should be the same all the way around. Having the board wider in the middle is such a small detail, but it’s going to change the whole feel for the best. It should be wider.

[@SynEveness]

I was a little skeptical about the window with that piece in the middle but it looks sooooo good like that. I should've known already, everything you do looks gorgeous 😍

The all ablack window looks much better to me than with the white middle board. It just looks more like a single unit. It's so inspirational the way you work so hard to get your vision.

[@iamwindchakra]

I love the topper! It adds the antique charm back to the cottage. I kinda wish you had mini versions for all your other windows because it's such a lovely feature. Also, yes to the light center piece between the windows. The black was too much, and I LOVE black. It's really coming together, I can almost picture window boxes full of flowers.

[@XOMaCenna]

[@jessicajasper5527]

[@Sunbeam4291]

Great job on the trim and windows. The center piece sure made a great difference, only thing I would have done different would be to make the center wider so that the side edges of the window frame balance the outer sides. Just a thought. Love everything you do.

[@KirstinWolf]

Visually, I have to just get this out. I LOVE the lighter piece of trim between the black windows BUT I feel like it needs to be wider, IF possible. That will allow for the same amount of black to be showing on all sides of the windows. Make sense? Anyway, thanks for taking us on this journey with you!!! So exciting 🌈🌟❤️

Omg I loved seeing the camera coloring turned down! You weren’t washed out at all and the colors were more realistic! I know you want light and bright videos, but it’s often so washed out you can’t see anything sometimes (like when you were power washing the house, the top right corner was so washed out you couldn’t even see it)

[@ninabooker2904]

The topper piece you made is perfect the ‘marriage’ of materials; something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue ! It’s all there. Such a transformation from where you started. Good job. BTW I like the white trim board in the middle of the two windows.

I love hearing your mama talk - my mother was from Texas, and when I hear that drawl it takes me back. She's been gone many years, but I still miss her. I know you will treasure your parents for as long as you have them:) I'm deliberately not going back and reviewing vlogs I've already seen.

I think others have said this but making that middle trim piece the same width as the trim on the outside of the windows would maybe help! But even if you don’t do that, it looks amazing - what a great dream! Lol. I am in constant awe of every little detail you put into every project you take on for this house. Amazing.

[@ritasilva8797]

You should put the white wood in the middle of the windows but leaving the black the same width as the outer sides! That would make it perfectly aligned and simetric 💕

Hi MaCenna, I love & wouldn’t miss your You Tube channels. You are an inspiration. Loving the journey of your cottage restoration! Your fabulous heading for the windows was genius. I was happy you chose to separate the windows with the lighter coloured board but found it difficult to understand why you made it narrow. It made the Black frames not RIGHT? My eyes found it difficult to not look at it without thinking it was a patch job…both windows from a distance looked wrong because of the narrower black on the far sides? A wider middle board would make the black frames all symmetrical … yep I drive myself crazy with this nonsense …just ignore me…you’re brilliant!

[@denisejones1863]

In regard to trim color the new construction homes I just bought into are doing black windows, with a lighter siding and tan trim around windows and eves. It looks good with more difference in color, more like the Manchester Tan, it gives the house 3 dismissions. I don't think you will get the pop you want with the lighter trim. I was afraid of the darker trim and went with white because I was safe, take a chance and go darker.

I think the white trim between the two windows looks awesome!! It totally captures the illusion you are trying to create. Btw, a little caulking hack, if you wet your finger with water and then smooth it out, you will be able to smooth it out easier without losing so much product. It’s kind of like when you wet your hands to mold clay.
