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

After 5 months of renovating narrow, divided spaces into a large eat-in style kitchen with all our must-haves, it’s finally time to finish up! This week I’m tackling my special projects for the space to bring the design all together.

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!!!)

[@gracie4shotz]

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. I’d literally cry for that coffee table book. - xo, a long time viewer ❤️

Whenever baby Cade is old enough to start solids I recommend a splash mat for under his high chair! A washable rug is great, but reducing how often you have to wash it is great too 😂

[@alleyj826]

This! One of those catchers that attaches to the high chair is ideal!

[@neshapr]

Back then I used shower liners for that. Just $1 and easy to wash and clear.

[@baydub22]

I’m actually obsessed with the off-center chandelier!!! You put so much thought into all of your designs and sometimes you just have to pivot with what the space allows! It has so much character and charm AND it’s functional. I hope you know what an absolute inspiration you are. Well done love. Can’t wait to see your family fill the space with happy memories. 🥰

[@PiratesBootyVintage-x1c]

I love it as well and the extra light over the sink is gorgeous and balances it all

I'm picturing Romeo at the stove cookin up a storm, MaCenna at the table working on her laptop, baby at his high chair burbling away 🥹 The kitchen is so warm and inviting, I can't wait to see content filmed with it in the background!

My daughter said "This kitchen should be in a magazine!" She's 10. I agree, your kitchen is STUNNING!!! Great job Macenna.

[@debihuntsman9314]

The chandelier is STUNNING!! I LOVE the way you did the corbels, adding the blue paint to match the hood, while still leaving the old, chippy finish. You have created a dreamy kitchen that will be filled with many happy memories with your family.

[@valarya]

The table "off" closer to the doors makes so much more sense for the flow of your kitchen-use. You can swag the chandelier!!! Everything truly came together so beautifully. 😭

[@tracygarrett3952]

Great idea!

[@lfuentes4098]

Thinking the same thing. When the weather is nice and she’s hosting she can open the doors and have a perfect indoor/outdoor flow.

[@sewcraftymarigold5556]

At the end scene of the kitchen completed the word "château" came to mind. It took my breath away. The kitchen, too me, is MaCenna's signature. ❤

[@XOMaCenna]

Omg I love that 💕💕💕

[@caitlynmacleod2895]

I thought this too! Reminds me of Chateau de Lalande from KZbinrs The Chateau Diaries as they have an eat in kitchen too. Their table is a hub for prep work, socializing and general merrymaking! I am sure yours will be too.

[@Lisa-sp5if]

As I’m watching this… I think your design choices about the offset chandelier makes perfect sense! Yes, the fact that it’s sitting so high up definitely it relates more to the kitchen than the table. Absolutely love the way you’ve styled this kitchen… Man, you are one gifted lady!I’m trying to siphon your energy right now because I need it!🎉😂❤

[@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. ❤️

[@XOMaCenna]

awww thank you so much!!!

[@Jj85741]

Your contractor. Wow. After all those crazy stories you shared on the podcast, this seems like heaven 😅 He is so good and through out the whole process has been so efficient and respectful of your ideas, and knowing it’s your work too

[@LindaSuggs-d9s]

MaCenna your kitchen is so beautiful. You are such a great designer. It’s a pleasure and delight to watch you do your magic. The information you provide is so valuable to me and others who love to DIY our homes. Thank you so much. I know you will enjoy your new home for many years. God bless you and your family.

[@melodyfisher1512]

I so hated to see this episode end! The chandelier, the corbels, the paintings, the table, the hardware, the toile cafe curtains…and even the Dunde Marmalade jars ❤ all fill me with joy. SO beautiful. I love what you’ve done this space… Enjoy every square inch of this space…the heart of your home.

[@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]

Yes!!! We have a pendant over the sink and use it as our “night light” and light for in the morning so it’s not so bright.

[@ynhingo4856]

Yes, Macenna said a light will be installed there once she finds the perfect one.

[@amber4417]

Ooh yeah this is a good point! I think it could’ve worked really well if it didn’t hang so low. As it was I think it kind of pulled attention away from the big chandelier which is so pretty

[@DrapersDoingRenos]

Romantic lighting!!!! You are my people!

[@AS-owa]

@@IMOO1896 Agree 💯

[@indiabilly]

I have huge respect for you anyway but watching you drill holes into your pristine new cabinets took that up several levels, also the chandelier is outstandingly gorgeous you have outdone yourself this is so beautiful xx

[@helenanotoftroy]

I love this so much MaCenna, truly. I do think that the big vase on the end of the table was not totally necessary because the fridge is already a vertical visual focal point so it organically already did that. Your vision, taste and elegance is so inspiring. I love every inch of this kitchen like it was my own ❤

[@Lisa-sp5if]

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. Also, the one thing I recommend to anybody I ever work with, because I do a little bit of interior design, is, put dimmers on every light in your kitchen! You will be so glad you did!

[@ashamash]

MACENNA!!!!!!! Girl when I saw this episode was available I literally stopped everything I was doing to watch!! I wouldn't have cared if we needed to wait another week, I was going to stop and watch. OMG THIS KITCHEN IS STUNNING, and that world truly doesn't capture the true essence of this kitchen. It's perfection! I truly admire you and you are so meticulous and intentional with how you make decisions. Truly a work of art! By the way, you are an excellent mom. We know it is not easy balancing everything that you have going on, and we recognize things may not always go to plan with your uploads because you're being the best mother to Cade and Partner to Romeo. Sending you love and light all the way from Atlanta, GA!

[@Katie23652]

I honestly thought your previous kitchen was so charming, if a bit awkward, but this is next-level family life heaven. The sunlight, the contrasts, the crockery, the table and chairs, the off-set tabletop vignette and that drop-dead gorgeous chandelier… Congratulations on a dream well-done!😊

[@Cat93Meschia]

Been following you for years but feel even more connected to this project. We had our first son (also named Cade!) 2.5 years ago and also did a kitchen reno when we were expecting. We were washing baby bottles in bathroom sinks and cooking postpartum meals off hot plates 🤣 2.5 years later, watching Cade help cook from his toddler stool and now having our second's bottles drying in the finished kitchen, I can say all the stress was worth it. You're making a beautiful life for your family.

[@maraciobo]

I am speechless. Five months of continuous effort, but with a dream result. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart.❤🎉❤

[@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!

Couldn’t picture a more perfect kitchen for this house, looks like it should have always been this way and with the craftsmanship, quality and attention to detail that went into it I’m sure it will probably stay that way forever, can’t imagine any future owner ever wanting or needing to re-reno, it just can’t get any better! Felt the same way about the cottage kitchen too which YOU BUILT YOURSELF. Just so inspiring! c'est magnifique 👌🏼

STUNNING, STUNNING!! It is so warm, so cozy, yet so grand. MaCenna, I have to thank you - over the last 2 years (my first of home-ownership) you have inspired me to take on project after project, and over the past 2 weeks I built a cabinet base from scratch for our bathroom remodel, largely following your videos about it. My husband was stunned; "You built FURNITURE!" I told him I had gotten the courage from you, and it's true. Thank you for being such a great example :) :)

[@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?

[@krsnalokacreations]

The cafe curtains are a gorgeous touch!

[@judymcinnis]

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

[@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.

[@okbye1772]

i agree she should paint it darker along with the corbels. i would also add some decorative scroll work or something similar to the center

[@karrrot]

slightly darker for sure, i agree

[@jlammetje]

I was wondering how long I'd have to scroll to find someone talkign about this (pretty long!). I love the kitchen as a whole, but that hood color just doesn't seem to match with anything in the kitchen. I really hope it's just a camera/video thing and in real life it looks good :)

If the chandelier bothers you being off centered. It’s an easy fix to move the electrical box for the chandelier to the center above the table

[@abbie7547]

@@Dropsofknowledge365 That's where the beam is.

[@Dropsofknowledge365]

@@abbie7547 maybe swag it with a longer chain and add a pretty hook on the beam

I adore the chandelier off to one side. It appears less staged and formal. Congratulations on your gorgeous makeover; you've worked so hard and long for it.

[@AryelleFDall]

I’ve been checking and checking allllll day

[@AryelleFDall]

Amazing!!!! Love the new space! Can’t wait to see you and your family grow into the new heart of the home. I seriously thought my notifications were not working…. I’ve been just manually checking and stalking your channels since I had my lunch break this afternoon. ❤

[@miriammaali7879]

the vase with branches TOTALLY balanced the off center-ness of the chandelier! you never disappoint macenna! 😍😍 one of the most amazing transformations bc the galley style REALLY capped the potential for this room

[@AbbyMcGuire23]

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

[@W1ttyOne]

OMG!! Your kitchen is BEAUTIFUL!!! If y’all haven’t cried with joy, I’m crying for you!!

[@maramst]

The light over the sink.. maybe a stain glass hanging instead? With the sun light beaming through would be so pretty. Love the entire renovation. Congratulations on everything!!

[@allisondimino]

Wow those curtains are chef’s kiss! Everything is gorgeous

[@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!!!

[@nyphira]

Im mesmerized by the sunlight and light reflection in your kitchen. Especially on the stone slabs. Its beautiful

[@lookingback5889]

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

[@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

[@champagnemommy]

I’m going to miss these updates. It all looks so amazing. Seriously the best thing I’ve seen on the Internet. And the cuteness of those curtains,, I can’t even! ❤❤❤❤

[@aileenbell6750]

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

[@meliss36]

A large round table, was needed for this room. The room turned out nice, overall.

[@valkelly3054]

I wish the trim around the range hood was stained like the cabinets. I think it would be beautiful and tie it together. I love love love everything else! It’s absolutely gorgeous 😍

[@shellocakes]

Does anyone else not love the black appliances with the dark brown cabinets? 🥹

[@PiratesBootyVintage-x1c]

It’s the dishwasher it needs to be covered it does not go with stove and is just off- the stove is forgiving the dishwasher does not look old world and looks out of place

[@CarolShultz-sc9bj]

Ya I love most of her design but don’t understand the stove color at all. Should have been same color as the one at the cottage.

[@loug8186]

Agree, I feel some of the pieces don’t flow together, even though she spent so much time and effort in the planning and design. Needs some tweaks to get it perfect.

[@josephforsuh6929]

You really are flexing your design muscles! It is a lovely backdrop for all you do. Mature, characterful, swanky, individual and with warmth. A big congratulations to you both. I hope Romeo enjoys cooking in it as much as you give creatively to the space. It is a delicious kitchen. 🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟

[@kimpike4362]

Delicious is a great description!

[@tarsilavasconcelos]

I never clicked so fast. I'm so excited to see this complete transformation, I'm so happy for you and your family ❤❤❤

[@debbiekalynuk4217]

I was so excited to see your video was up! Well done, young mama! A kitchen for a lifetime of family memories!

[@madzabinga8382]

The vent hood looks naked. It needs some depth. Consider using reclaimed French Cafe tiles, hand painted details, or some shading for depth. It visually doesn't flow with the rest of the room.

[@rp527]

I agree, but I don't know if it's because it looks bare or because it's so light baby blue with the dark cabinets...

[@madzabinga8382]

@@rp527 From our camera view it doesn't look blue, but frosty, or icy. It's so cold against the warmth of the room. It honestly looks unfinished. As if it's missing something.

[@amnesia1408]

Yep that blue color on the hood on video looks like bright white, like a flat unfinished wall! Also the dishwasher looks pretty bad. And Chandelier hanging not in the center of the table is strange. But I do like everything else.

[@deniseavrich8088]

I agree it needs something to compliment the corbels. It just feels so disjointed to the rest of the room.

[@terriaviles]

Corbels are not my favorite or is it the color 🥹
