flea market shopping & haul + renovating our home! | XO, MaCenna Vlogs

[@yourfacehere_]

The art is “A Still Life of Roses and Vase on a marble topped table” by Vernon Ward

[@RockStarVee]

And, he seems to be a well-known (deceased) painter!!!! That might be worth something, MaCenna!!! "Vernon Beauvoir Ward (1905-1985) was a 20th-century English painter and commercial artist noted for his works of flowers, birds and Edwardian subjects and who lived for most of his life in Hampstead in London."

[@ashlee883]

Yep. He was an English artist.

My husband and I went thrifting & yard saling the other day looking for frames specifically. I found some gorgeous frames and, they some needed some repairs, and in a couple of them were two oil paintings. I am trying to determine is they are worth anything. We looked up the artists names on the internet and got a few hits, but were unsure if they were the same artists. How would I go about finding out if they are worth anything?

[@sophiam3923]

Once or twice a week seeing you is too little. You are a total delight to watch. Your mom is the sweetest mother in the world. 🥰 Love everything you do. ❤️

[@zoeemiko8149]

I have a buffet cabinet that would be perfect for your bath vanity. It's 6'7" long , has rounded 2 door cabinet doors on each side & a set of drawers in the center front. It's also exceptionally deep. It's in eastern NM so not an unreasonably long distance from you. Let me know if you're interested in seeing photos of it. It's gorgeous but much to big for my home.. but I've hung onto it because it's such a special piece.

[@lindafogarty2909]

I'd like to see a picture!!

[@veronicahartman1751]

What a sweet gesture. I think about that too. 💐❤️

[@sydnaps1995]

I hope she sees this! ❤️

[@triplethreatmtw]

is there a way to tag her so she for sure sees it?

[@01cia]

Oh that's so sweet, I hope she sees it!

[@emilywatson1141]

I just love you both! This should have been titled "A fritter, a flea market, and a friend..."

[@dinglebarry528]

Yes! Maybe Mom can come up with titles?! No swear words though. 😂

[@vickinoeske1154]

Should be a t-shirt!

[@J.May55]

I really wish you would show what your Mom buys as well at your fee market outings for the design of her new house. She seems to have great taste and it would be cool to see what she is planning😀

[@bunnbunnrunn2548]

That bed was an absolute steal! Its gonna look amazing in the guest room! Can't wait to see how it turns out

[@xomacennavlogs]

A STEAL!!! right!!! Omg I can’t wait to work on it and put it in the guest bedroom

[@megcreates2.0]

I was going to say $20 so I was kind close! 😊

[@aprilshowers9615]

I was thinking $25.

[@pattia1087]

; : 😅

[@ashleavansant9281]

“Nothing like a flea market and a fritter….. and a friend!” Haha I love it! Your mom is so sweet! I love your relationship. 🥰🥰🥰

[@brit331]

When i tell you i straight up GASPED when you said FIFTEEN DOLLARS!!!! That’s incredible

[@kittyglitter8186]

Me, too! I was thinking around $100. Total score at $15.

[@martydavis325]

I was thinking $50 for the bed...$15 is a complete steal!! Your mom is absolutely adorable! You guys are making such memories working on the cottage. Not only will you have a beautiful custom home but all the memories from your thrift store finds...each find tells a story of how this precious cottage came together. Such a beautiful journey filled with loved❣️

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Your mom was on a roll in this vlog! "You tea'd on yourself" 😂 You are both adorable & I thoroughly enjoy your content. Thank you for your time- it is recognized & appreciated! xo from Oregon💕

[@xomacennavlogs]

Hahaha

[@J.L.B]

I cracked up. 🤣

[@baylynn5]

Idk if you do merch but “a flea market, a fritter, and a friend” would be a pretty legendary trademark…just saying

[@olivia_ismyname]

Yes!

[@laradavies7584]

We need a t-shirt please 😚

[@rebeccametivier1397]

Yes!

[@paulahubbard9704]

I have a suggestion for you. I don't think there is an antique buffet in existence that is 7 ft. long. My suggestion is to do two antique pieces. It's more plumbing but you can get the 2 sinks that way. I've had it both ways, 2 sinks vs. 1 sink. We always did fine with 1 sink. With one sink, you could pick the antique piece you really love. The search is part of the journey!

[@lzmash3]

Omg that spindle bed is my dream bed and I would totally have paid $50-$100. Well done!!

[@superannieoakley4513]

I don't mind sayin I'm a bit jelly over that painting. It's beautiful! Not usually a rose person, but this one is perfect. The bed's gonna look great after a little wood putty, stain & something to help w that dryness. Can't wait to see! If u like white dishes, u should try milk glass! U wouldn't believe All the different patterns. I never knew until I started collecting. It's easy to find at thrift stores & prices are extremely affordable. It makes a beautiful table setting & of course, white goes w everything! I love finding beautiful colorful pieces to add to them for holidays or just because too

[@victoriagordon3865]

Watching from New Zealand I immediately recognised the Vernon Ward as it is very popular here in the retro/vintage look. I have a few on my gallery walls that I have collected over the years all thrifted. Nice to see a bit of home all the way over in your world. Thank you so much for your 2 channels, it’s like watching a friend :)

[@anjariise]

No way!! I was just hopping on to KZbin to see if I could find anything renovation related that could soothe my soul inbetween your uploads, and here you are!!!

[@xomacennavlogs]

Awww yayyyyy 🥰🥰

[@woin9361]

3:00 “There is nothin’ like a fritter. A fritter and a flea market...and a FRIEND!” Love her so much 💕💕💕

[@SRVfangirl]

Vernon Ward vintage floral from 1950’s or so. Rather collectible, saw prices from $35-72 depending on size.

[@erlandatugaw8883]

I finally figured out why I enjoy your channel so much v. a lot of other "design vlogs": you never TELL your audience that their design style is, WRONG...or, TACKY...or, SENSELESS. You offer excellent DIY options, while keeping negative comments far, far, away, as you invite us along on YOUR design journey. Kudos and XOXO!

[@mackenzie7517]

23:40 I love this interaction. I rewatched it a few times. The two of you staring at the house... thinking of how far you've come and how far you have to go. Your mom wants tomorrow off and lightens the mood. And then: "alright... what's next?" You are working so hard and it is so inspiring.

[@anna-mariapreiss2235]

You Macenna, are so inspiring. You, Romeo, Mom and Dad, will look back and think how far you have come. I can't wait to see the finished product, but that means the end of this renovation. You ROCK!!!!

[@ButyoucancallmeKat]

Okay. It is official, I am so invested in your projects. I literally squealed when you mentioned that you got the bed. Squealed. That is when you know you have some amazing content. Thank you for the blessing of content. We appreciate you.

[@lorriewittig9066]

Fritter, flea market and friend; nothin better than that! It's fun to see things progressing.

[@haileywatson5822]

My favorite part of this project is probably the fact that you’re likely paying for it by documenting all the hard work you’re putting in, crazy and inspirational!

[@jbigfeather]

My grandmother had a bed almost exactly like yours only it was a regular size bed when it was made there weren’t queen or king sized beds. She also had a room that had several rod iron beds in a row for her 10 boys. She owned 130 acres in OK where she & my grandfather had their farm.

[@ladydi1875]

You amaze me with all that you have done on this renovation!! I bought a fixer upper 10 years ago and I wish I could do half the stuff you've done. That over your head stuff is absolutely the worst and back breaking and neck breaking and shoulder breaking!! Girl YOU Rock!!

[@lauraanne22]

I just LOVE your mum ❤️ only 3:15 in too . She’s just the best .

[@imaEATkitkat]

I totally missed this months trade days and now I'm feeling sick, but this video really came through at the right time! We need "a fritter, a flea market and a friend" as a shirt

[@shiveringlots]

Your mom is so cute! I love seeing you two together. Makes me miss my mama.

[@amoijoy573]

The vanity top can be extended out with a marble top to add to the length & supported with brace on the back underneath & turn or use vintage legs for the ends! You can do it magical girl! Love all you do.

[@Kathleen5429]

Great idea!

[@tonyawallace8308]

I love your mom. She is really putting a lot of work into helping you get your dream house done. I love y'all together.

[@rambleon57]

"There's nothing like a fritter, a flea market, a friend"....THE keys to happiness!

[@coreye6003]

I just love you and this whole process. I just imagine your grandkids sitting in your living room and you all talking my about the beautiful work you did. ♥️♥️

[@samanthawhitaker95]

I love your mom 🥺🤍 she seems like the sweetest lady ever!

[@stephaniem999]

I was told that a blue porch light is a show of police support and there's also colors for emt and firefighters and maybe military but I'm not sure which ones are which. My aunts neighborhood has a bunch of different colors.

[@SLVRTNGUPHLLPS]

I think sometimes ppl do colors of teams they support. Like the orange and blue could be Denver Broncos. Idk. Something like that.

[@m.cooper1372]

you are such a hard worker. the cottage is coming together and you should be so proud of it. also do something extra special for your mom she's working hard to. can't wait til next week!!

[@janeyjanedee2493]

I love thrifting, it’s so much fun to find a great deal on something that you need. The cottage is looking good thanks to all your hard work. Man, oh man are you accomplishing some hard jobs!

[@sandrasanders9290]

Bucket list: spend a day with MaCenna and her Mom at the flea market! You always play the best music on your channels.

[@wandadelacruz2486]

Who else hit the like button before seeing video. MaCenna is just adorable and her mom is the sweetest.

[@chattykathie7129]

That house is priceless so much blood sweat and tears……smiles and giggles.

[@kaz6655]

When the house is finished just think of all the love that has gone into it. When you look at the doorway you will always smile and think of your mum x

[@aiangalang8452]

love how we get balanced videos of working in the cottage and flea market shopping and behind the scenes! you are really an inspiration to all of us! 🥰

[@anon766]

Vernon Beauvoir Ward was a 20th-century English painter and commercial artist noted for his works of flowers, birds and Edwardian subjects and who lived for most of his life in Hampstead in London.

[@LottieLVP]

The relationship you have with your mum is just the best thing to watch! Really reminds me of how my mum and I are! Love you guys and love what you are doing! X

[@aylin7383]

My mum and I had a bit of a difficult time with our relationship the last couple of years but thrift shopping really helped us bond again. You definitely inspired me to go thrifting again, so thank you MaCenna! You seem to have such a special connection to your mum and it's lovely watching you together. Also this series of yours is my absolute favourite at the moment. Lots of love from Europe!

[@blakemoon2123]

Your mom is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen 🥰🥰🥰

[@littleredhen7274]

The bed frame: it's a spool-turned frame, considered a "Jenny Lind"...yours could be as old as 1850s?? A very common style for cribs & smaller beds for children or 3/4 bed. These became *very* popular after a much-publicized American tour of an opera singer (Swedish, I think) promotional images, apparently, showed her in this style bed. Value: originals can be quite pricey, especially with original stain/finish. Price: difficult to say, but your mom likely got it for a steal, considering the condition & well, she's your mom, & she usually manages to get quite the deal!!

[@maggs810]

I so so so love when you go to the Fredericksburg flee market. 1, we get to spend time with your momma and she's just lovely, and I always end up adding things to my wish list! And you're doing so well on the house! So exciting!!

[@alex_long]

The colored light bulbs are often either holiday related or cause related. For instance, one of the autism NPOs used to (maybe still does?) have a blue light thing where you swap your porch light for a blue one.

[@lisaschreiber2893]

your mom is such a doll, i see where you get your great personality from

[@brendacampbell7537]

That picture for $10 and the head and footboard for $15 my what a steal! I'm glad your vision for your home is finally coming together. CONGRATULATIONS for choosing a great cottage and making it your own. Can't wait to see what's next on your journey 😊

[@ashlaenicole5410]

I'm going to have to make the 4 to 5 hour drive from Dallas to these flea markets and thrift stores you go to. The ones in the Dallas- Fort Worth area have nothing but clothes. I've been in the hunt for home decor and furniture so it's been hard to find things here. Btw I am obsessed with the cottage renovation, I talk about it to my friends and family as if it's my project. Super excited to see the end result 😍

[@jenniviiv]

LOL! I also feel so invested in this home renovation as if it's mine or something hahah!

[@corricatt]

That’s the biggest bummer in metro area’s.. no antiques, just Chinese ‘goods’ after Chinese ‘goods’

[@loriingdl]

have you been to Canton First friday? they have some fun finds!

[@carriemartinez2933]

Your moms hair is a whole vibe!!! Just gorgeous!!!

[@woin9361]

I would have paid $110-150 for the bed because it’s beautiful and has a lot of character, and will take some love and repair to make it shine 💕

[@woin9361]

OMG IT WAS 15 dollars?!?! MaCenna I’m floored! When you get a deal, it weirdly feels like we ALL got a deal 😂 I’m so happy for you!

[@DC-ki7ej]

I was thinking $115. Not that I would have bought it for that price but the fact that it's real wood.

[@jaclynwright9684]

I would have paid $200 tops

[@heehoopeanut420]

right? I was thinking like 200 ish, real wood and very beautiful with a lot of character! can't get brand new bedframes like that for 200, let alone 15!

[@carolyngalbraith6202]

Your mom is outstanding. She is funny friendly and so great to be with on all these trips. Good to see family members getting along well!

[@rebeccajohnson2910]

Watching this a year later, it’s so special to be reminded of how far she’s come!!

[@anitabarker3125]

It is looking awesome! Your mom is a jewel helping you so much. You are blessed and beautiful to watch hoe enthusiastic you stay.

[@mandym9570]

I love your mum! You’re working wonders on the cottage, Romeo must be so proud of the work you’ve put into your Texas home ❤️

[@kumuhone1980]

The artist is Vernon Beauvoir Ward . He was a 20th-century English painter and commercial artist noted for his works of flowers, birds and Edwardian subjects and who is from Hampstead, London

[@megaamold9597]

LOVE the progress! The relationship you have with your Mom is so precious ❤️ Also!! If you can’t find a 7’ buffet table, what about 2 cabinets and a set of drawers in the middle? I saw a Pinterest bathroom that looks exactly what you’re looking for, with square sinks too!

[@leiasayers127]

To answer your question, the colored light bulbs on the front porch usually signify something. Blue bulbs usually means a support of law enforcement or Autism awareness. Green means military or veterans supporter.

[@marissahicks982]

I paid $22 for one of those Jenny Lind beds before and then bought another one for $50 Kept one and sold one for $100 without doing anything to it. They are soooo cute! They are also SO expensive online. Like hundreds of dollars so great deal!!

[@rebeccametivier1397]

Yes yes yes! I agree with the others we need a t shirt that says a fritter, a flea market and a friend! Love watching you and your mom and Kinsley. Oh!! Just had an idea! Kinsley's picture should be on the shirt too. Would totally buy it!!

[@monabale8263]

14:09; jenny lind spindle spool bed, unmatched & a bit of damage set so about 7- 800.00

[@marisascott4788]

You and your mom bring a big smile to my face every week! ☺️

[@meganc1539]

The bed is a Jenny Lind bed... probably later version but it's from the later 1800s. I have one that I am refinishing for my son that was passed down from my grandmother. Good find!

[@CatWilhelmina]

I hope the mother daughter content lasts forever! You two are adorable!!

[@FoodandfitnessPH]

Your mother is so sweet and cute in helping you out ❤️❤️❤️

[@chayasorah815]

This girl is the best channel on this whole app

[@willow9719]

Your videos help me with managing my depression. I get such a huge serotonin boost when i see that you’ve uploaded. I love watching your work and process on this huge project🖤

[@kristinasmith3097]

You are such a hard working woman. It’s admiring!

[@patricialeal2961]

The between stages of summer and fall are the most enjoyable months in Texas. Let me tell you they are 😍😍😍

[@francinerose5042]

Your mother is an angel! 👼I love that she's up to helping you on the house (and we're not forgetting Papa!💜) I said I wouldn't lay more than $25 for the bed...you killed it! Awesome buy!

[@jac-ques.s.7234]

Mom was being so funny today. I love her!! You tea tea’d on yourself! 😂 A fritter, a flea market and a friend!! ♥️

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

MaCenna you and your Mom make a great team!!!!! She is so funny and the two of you together just make me smile. I can’t believe how hard your Mom has worked on the doors and you girl doing all the caulking and painting. LOVE LOVE the Cottage series❤️❤️❤️❤️ our House is football Saturday college and Sunday pro for over 40 years 😂😂😂😂

[@jeanettebyrd8710]

It's so nice for you to have your mom to be such an great help! I love as usual,admiring your ability to watch you continue to work by priming,& painting the ceiling! I wish you well in your commitment by you seeing your dream house come to life!

[@mayellarosa6988]

MaCenna, here in New York city many have land lines. So glad you got your spinal bed, I guested 250.00, how wrong was I. Admire you so much, your tenacity and spunk. You make all of us proud. Won't miss your journey in building your Cottage. Just can't wait to see it done, as anxious as you.

[@paulajf4205]

No, not another shopping video. Can't wait for more building and decorating.

[@dancemom3727]

MaCenna, your mom is a hoot...what a special lady...hug her tight!

[@drmichelle19]

Your mom is an angel, and its such a beautiful thing you will tell your kids one day and they'll have all these videos as memories of how their home was built.

[@ems0up]

Ugh, always love seeing these uploads in my notifications!! MaCenna I'm so proud to be a supporter, loving all of your hard work and dedication to your craft!! Much love from Canada :D

[@xomacennavlogs]

Aww thank you so much!

[@pameladcainpiacia3442]

So nice to see you all again before next Sunday! The ceiling & the door frame are amazing so far!

[@rosie678100]

I have plans to move out of state and buy my own house within the coming years and you make me so excited to get started on it and inspire me to work for it now. I appreciate every single video and love hearing all your updates. Thank you for being awesome

[@missmichelle652]

The caulking was so worth it! It looks amazing!!

[@corricatt]

MaCenna you crack me up, you’re rocking’ that reno and I L🧡VE thrifting as much as you!! So happy for you and look forward to every new upload, Sunday’s and Tuesday’s!! (Sunday was so fun!!)

[@annlee3565]

Your bed looks like a an antique Jenny Lind bed. You really got a deal. I have seen as high as $500 to $800. You go girl!!! Love your videos.

[@peace.love.junk.7501]

You can change out the top of a buffet to make the surface larger for your sinks.

[@katiecoleman9847]

You and your mom are a great team. You're both very fortunate to have each other. Love watching you bring your cottage back to the diamond that she is!!

[@abbiedickerson2074]

My mouth DROPPED OPEN when you said 15! I’m so excited for you! I’m ready to see the final project of the cottage, buuuuuuut I’m going to miss all of the renovation videos haha!! You are amazing!!! I hope you have a fantastic week! Thank you for always making my weeks better!

[@amelialin6903]

My mom is my best friend and we love watching mom/daughter duos lol ❤️ y’all are so sweet!

[@lonechipmunk2527]

Awesome deal on the bed! I still can't believe you caulked that entire ceiling - I'd be in traction! For the vanity, Sarah Richardson did one where she put 2 matching chests next to each other - the countertop made it look like one long unit... unless you do a road trip to NM to pick up that viewer's piece. :)

[@tracypoffenbarger2913]

Love,love, love the bed! And just $15!!!! WHAT!!

[@ajbsrf9598]

The yellow light is probably a bug light. The blue light usually is in support of someone with Autism The bed you like with all the spindles is a Ginny Lind bed. They can be quite expensive in really good shape. So hopefully when the guy shows up you can get a good deal, that is a good deal $15. Ginny Linds are typically dark stain but I can't wait to see you restore it.

Your mum is the funniest and sweetest all at the same time ♥️♥️♥️

[@laurenschone6734]

I bought a bed almost exactly like that this year! I paid $40. With lots of work my dad was able to make it shine again. You’re an inspiration, thank you for sharing your DIYs and home reno with the world! ❤️

[@jehan9]

Can we get more Kinsley camera time please… she’s just the cutest!!! 😍😍😍

[@erikab2475]

Jenny Lind bed frames hold a special place in my heart 😍

[@janhunt6214]

Hats off to you and mom! U2 are just awesome y’all just keep plugging along in spite of the heat and the very difficult projects you have it’s going to be stunning when you finish

[@nandhaC3]

You give me energy when I don't want to continue a task. I was like omg did I already watched this video or have I missed one and just saw the time of the upload and then saw it was new one , right away clicked and watched it. I was so down before this and every time you give me the energy to go on. Thank you ❤️😊

[@kapukaku]

So fun to see all the work that you have to do with the cameras and so on!
