EXTREME KITCHEN RENOVATION EP 10 | Moody French Provincial *Before & After*

[@misspepe7416]

You sewing at the kitchen table made me tear up a bit. THAT is what a family table is made for: LIFE. All of it, in the middle of the room, the reason you want this beautiful kitchen, to live Life to it's fullest. Full of memories and laughter and time spent together. Amazing job MaCenna everything came together so beautifully! ❤👏💪

[@jojodesrosiers8096]

Your kitchen is absolutely stunning ! You and your team did a outstanding job. My husband is an award winning Architect in Michigan. He has a question ? Are you self taught on all your skills? Or did you go to school ? Or did your Dad teach you? You are truly amazing on what you know and how you can do everything. You’re also a amazing Mother. You can be very proud of all the things you’ve accomplished. Jojo

[@joannejenkins7379]

OMG congratulations on a beautiful job, most awesome renovation ever🎉 I was blown away with the hardware, then the chandelier (incredible) , then with each amazing addition bring more character to love. Truly spectacular 💖

I had the exact reaction to sewing at the table! That was the dream come true moment for me. This beautiful space is truly the heart of your home now. Congratulations!

[@nomadine85]

I think the “off center” center Ed in the room dining table was a blessing in disguise, it looks so much more naturally balanced with the styling! It actually looks even more elevated than if everything was 100% symmetrical because that would feel more modern. It doesn’t FEEL off centre, it feels deliberate and designed and high end and balanced. Well done!

[@nenayrigoyen8624]

So pretty. Love everything about it. Thank you for letting us dream our dream. God's blessings.

[@minniemouse1662]

Perfection! ❤ I am learning so much from you and your journey!!!

[@NormaLilia24]

I agree, I love that it's off balance.

[@sherrybrown4340]

Yes. French kitchens are often wonky. Moving the table created a family kitchen ready to make memories. Centered, it looked too much like a static kitchen showroom.

[@XOMaCenna]

I totally agree now that it's all pulled together i LOVE that i'm able to style that side of the table in a bigger way too

[@englishcait]

Damn Macenna, this is the culmination of your design journey throughout the years. From your bedroom at the apartment, the wood accents from the cottage and now this. What a masterpiece

[@XOMaCenna]

Thank you so much 💕💕

[@krickette5569]

I bet your General contractor and all the guys that worked in that space are as impressed with you as we all are. Your ability to 'see' what you want coupled with your willingness to roll up your sleeves and do it are quite impressive. You have truly created a magical space. (oh and I MISS your Momma!!!)

The brown material you used for the curtains would make such good cushion covers for your dining chairs. You could switch them out for the time when baby will be learning to eat and that fabric would be more forgiving than the white. The space turned out beautiful, good job!

[@cait9774]

Macenna, please design a coffee table book with photos of your spaces and designs, and photos of inspiration you’ve found, and maybe even things like your floor plans you’ve drawn and small bits to read about your journey of design and making a home.

Anyone who is a parent here knows babies are unpredictable. So I have all the patience in the world to wait for McCenna to post. Also, I find it extremely respectful of her that she let us know yesterday that she was going to be late and what she was going through. You're doing just fine. McCenna.❤️🌺😀

[@eleigh1312]

I've got 3 kids under 3 (the older 2 are 10 months apart) and run my own Etsy store. I treat my business just like any other job and follow through on my promises to customers. If she doesn't have a video edited and ready to go by the time she says it will be, then she needs to work on her time management and create a posting and editing schedule that actually works for her. Editing and filming the day of/before she promises to be posting clearly isn't working for her (and this was way before Cade was here) We can all understand a late upload every once in a while, but at this point it's really disrespectful to her viewers

[@IMOO1896]

I vote to keep the light over the sink, early morning or late evening when you go to the sink, it’s going to be much more “romantic” lighting over the main light that will light the whole room. So excited to see this update, and your excitement over the progress.

[@Justlivin904]

[@lindsaymorris5108]

I've watched your videos for so long but I don't think I've ever commented - I am sitting here crying during the reveal! To think that at the start of this, you were a family of two, to the end and being a family of three is crazy! ❤️ The kitchen is so beautiful and so "you", and it has been an absolute pleasure to watch you pour yourself into this project and make a dream a reality. I recently redesigned my own kitchen on a much smaller scale, and even that felt surreal as I watched my contractor turn my ideas on paper into a tangible thing...so I can't begin to imagine how you're feeling now. You should be SO proud. ❤️

McKenna, just a couple of thoughts from an older lady! We have done this for so many years… Just painted the plates for the switches… Just do it. You can do it every 5 to 7 years and it’s no problem.

[@yo-yocoast1039]

You have to remember she stated on a past video that the true color of the hood isn’t picking up on video, she stated it’s looking much lighter than what it truly is. She has blue accents here and there, pretty sure it looks beautiful.

[@Celtic_Bee]

Outrageously beautiful kitchen! We solved a similar problem with an off-set light by turning the table on a diagonal but I love your solution! Also when Cade is in a high chair you might want to consider cutting a clear shower curtain to fit underneath to catch everything he will drop. Ruggables are wonderful but it's a bigger job to move chairs and pads etc to clean. The shower curtain isn't the most attractive but it's temporary and easy to pick up and clean off and tuck away when meals are finished.

[@foxymama9203]

Congratulations!!!! New mama, new kitchen and I love that you have a beautiful French cookbook called Maman! Such a perfect start to your lives as parents, I can envision Cade doing his schoolwork at that gorgeous table while daddy cooks and mama brainstorms another business idea or project! Cherish and enjoy all of those moments as they fly by, those memories are what sustains us (and our children) as they leave home to start their own journeys! My baby is 21 and during one of our mama/son chats recently, he said that he finds it so sad that so many of the people he meets never had those family moments 😢 For many of his childhood friends, our home was the scene of those moments for them, and from a woman who struggled with infertility and didn’t become a mom until I was 38, the fact that I was Mama Fox to all of them is a blessing I am grateful for!

As an interior designer who has overseen the tiniest details of this with such precision I must admit I’m surprised that you didn’t realise how close the dishwasher would be to the table. Or that you didn’t like the light there.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I think she did talk about it in an earlier video when she deciding where to put the light and whether it would feel too close. If I remember, I think she said she knew it fit, but wasn't sure how comfortable it would feel. And she knew she might need to make adjustments. But I don't think she had an actual table at that point.

Every little detail has been envisioned and carried out. From the ceiling to the floor it is just so gorgeous and truly screams you and Romeo. I love it so so much. Thank you for sharing with us your many talents. Thank you for taking the time to put together such a beautiful display to watch. Its perfection. I’m so happy for you. You deserve this.

Love how this turned out, absolutely gorgeous!! So much family life happens in the kitchen and around the dining table! I suggest a high chair at one end of the table for daily use, so convenient

[@donnalamb5830]

I always thought you were going to place the table the other way! Like parallel to the sink rather than to the oven 😮

[@heidil.4651]

Omg Macenna!!!!! It could not be more beautiful!!!! THE CORBELS!!!!! Absolutely PERFECT decision to add the blue!!!! So happy for you and your family! I love it!!❤❤❤❤

[@SometimeAgo65]

MaCenna, I love it and I love an eat in kitchen. It seems dark though, I'm surprised you went with the dark cabinets on top. I'm glad for you though. Blessed with a beautiful home, beautiful baby and now a new kitchen. Blessings abound ❤

I like the light over the sink. Keep it!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I like A light over the sink, but agree with her that that wasn't the one. And I had thought I was going to love it. I didn't...

[@AbbyMcGuire23]

Love it! ♥️♥️♥️ and totally agree - the chandelier is apart of the ROOM, not the dining table! Doesn’t read off balanced at all!

[@MKSG5899]

How fun that Cade will be able to watch his beautiful mama creating the kitchen he will have so many happy memories!! & yummy nourishing food!!!

[@Nina3Music]

Very impressed. You can be proud!! Some thoughts: - Stripes cafe curtains could be nice and french vibey as well! And a bit less 'feminine' - As a person that lives to cook, the decorations on the counter tops seem very impractical. Maybe place cute but usable utensils etc? - Maybe a fabric light (seems oldschool) of Tiffany light is fitting above the sink?

Oh my the crystals on the chandelier made my heart expand. I am so glad you used the crystal one. ❤

[@chelseagrace170]

I can tell that having the dining table be off center is bothering you lol 😂 having things be off center makes a space feel more casual which I think is totally more y’all’s vibe! Such a beautiful space I’m so happy for yall ❤

Lucky for her that her energy matches her enthusiasm, ha ha. This kitchen is a work of art. The whole house is a gem. I find so much inspiration not only in her taste but in her attitude. Love her to pieces.

[@FinnleyBrighter]

Love everything but the hood color. It looks like primer. But everything else is perfectly unique!!

[@darlenemchenry1104]

I thought the same thing! The kitchen is GORGEOUS, and so cohesive... except for the pale blue hood.

[@CG-cg9jy]

@@darlenemchenry1104 the texture she did on the Texas hood ???? using maybe a color that is in the countertops? It must look good in person because you know it would be bothering her too lol - Hang a beautiful wreath on it during the holidays? I wonder if she just painted it a color that is in the countertops? I don't know - Because of the tuscan feel I think the texture would look great - again not my kitchen lol - I did think of something else too having a pass through counter at the kitchen window I had one for years and it was great when you had outdoor get togethers for food and cleanup - not having to go to the doors all the time - I used to yell ORDER UP every time lol - makes it so much easier whether grilling or cooking inside to bring things out =) Well that was a rant LOL

[@lookingback5889]

Oh my stars, you did it! 2 million dollar renovation! Love everything. The power of hard work! Great job!

[@rosemarytownsend8907]

When you were discussing the table with your hair back in a clip with a little pouf … I could not stop thinking about how you looked like your mom! Thank you for letting us join you as you craft this beautiful space for your family. I just know your mom is proud of the designer and mother you are!!

[@noface____]

the urge to skip to the end to see the final kitchen is so real 😩😩 but i know you put so much hard work into this video, i have to watch the whole thing!!

[@prasnlrdsheilawalker5241]

Whoa! McCenn...you have been a busy bee!!! The kitchen is STUNNING and BEAUTIFUL! The corbels?....AWWWWWW!!! Perfect!!!💕💕💕💕💕

[@michellewilliams6185]

Simply Beautiful. Adding height and Off centering your table decor was a great idea.

@XO, MaCenna What a lovely kitchen you've created for your family! I want to give you a word of CAUTION: In high school, I used to work in an antique shop and they specialized in lighting fixtures. On my first day on the job, I was told that one should never, ever use a window or glass cleaner on crystals or any part of a chandelier or vintage light. The chemicals in products like Windex are very hard on crystals and cut glass. Not all vintage crystals and baubles are made of the same material, so it's best to be on the safe side. I cleaned more crystals from chandeliers than I care to mention, but I could do three layer tiers in half an hour. And, you have to take them off, clean them, and put them back on. We used a 60/40 solution of white vinegar and water. Filtered or distilled water is recommended. If any spots remain after air drying, increase your vinegar-to-water ratio. By the way, I love your toile curtains so much! I thought the blue looked good until you brought out the brown, and wow! Also, if the switch plates bother you that much you could do one of these options: cover the switchplates with your toile fabric using matte Mod Podge, or get some paintable wallpaper and paint it your wall color. You can also use Rub n Buff in your desired color. Very lightly sand the switchplate and the switch or rocker, and apply the Rub n Buff. I've done this in my bedroom, and it works! If I were doing it for a bathroom or kitchen I would spray a clear topcoat over it for easy cleaning. Sorry for the long comment!
