I can’t even begin to explain how much I appreciate the “practical” progress of organization. Understanding a space and creating functionality is equally as pretty-to me-as traditional decorating. Needless to say, I’m looking forward to seeing how you guys make the space work for you as you live in it more!

[@abbeyanglade6762]

Something is telling me this “kitchen renovation” will happen a lot sooner than she thinks 😂😂

[@nejlak741]

Hope so !! 😂

[@nechamascher7199]

Something is telling me this baby announcement will happen sooner than we all expected!

[@jordynclark444]

More like faster than Romeo thinks haha

[@catherine5541]

Exactly. 😂

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

That was my first thought - there's no space! But I think if she gets a China cabinet in the dining space (I didn't go back to see the room again - I know it's narrow, but think there was room at one end??) and a tall armoire in the family room where the two big paintings are or even a roomy buffet in that spot that she can hang artwork over and put a lamp (or two) on, that should free up some storage. I should have looked before typing this, but there may even be space at the end of the kitchen (where the door is) to put a baker's rack that she could store dishes or serving pieces or appliances on... Even a small pie safe sort of cabinet would hold and hide appliances.

[@nani1kanobi]

Your vlogs are so therapeutic to me. They help me get out of my head and destress and I can’t emphasize enough how happy you make me when you upload a video!

[@wee0007]

Same ❤

[@katieadelson7500]

I feel the same!

[@astridrojas1503]

Same ❤

[@kelmichly]

Literally what you said ❤

[@haileywatson5822]

Yaas. I’m so grateful for Macenna and everyone involved. The happiness and inspiration that they share makes a huge impact on my life honestly.

[@michellechristie3588]

Figuring out your kitchen in a new house is a game of “let’s see how this works”. It’s completely different from when you reno a kitchen to work for you(which we just did). I am loving watch you unpack and decorate this new house and beyond excited for the podcast!! More Macenna works for me

[@Hayluv64]

For a temp solution, on Amazon they have these little circle stickers that are raised like bumps. You put them in the corners on the inside of drawers and cabinets so when you close them it makes it a lot quieter! Instead of the wood hitting wood when they close it’s wood hitting the little bump stickers and it made a big difference in our kitchen for noise! Also a lil WD-40 on the hinges I believe would help with some squeakiness!

[@chel_hamelin]

Nice thing about an older kitchen is it shows you how simpler people used to live. So many of us just have so much stuff these days. I’ve gotten real good at figuring out what’s practical and what just takes up space

[@debbiepalmer1094]

I've simplified a lot in the past few years and tried to get rid of extra stuff and it feels so much better to me. I'm not a minimalist but when I look at some minimalist houses it makes me feel so peaceful. Benita Larsson on YT had such a relaxing home before her recent move.

[@laniefalls]

what are your thoughts on romeo’s office being downstairs with the laundry machine and the primary bedroom being in the current guest room? it seems to make more sense and be more private. maybe since that room is so large it could eventually be renovated to have an on suite bathroom! 🤍

[@Smerememmata98C]

Yesss!!! It feels weird to have the room downstairs and the office upstairs!!! Also the windows in their primary bedroom make me feel kinda claustrophobic

[@kaitlinalexandra2831]

When they have a family they will also want to sleep on the same floor as the children

[@reinadesantiago5078]

I agree. She can totally open the wall the the guest bathroom upstairs to the guest bedroom and put in a lovely bathroom and and stand up. She will never get away from renovations... it's in her blood heheh

[@lindamatillon83]

if it's possible, i believe best place to put the glasses and dishes is in the cupboard right above the dishwasher! :)

[@amoijoy573]

I’m a home organizer for 27 years. When you have multiple of anything:cereal boxes etc. instead of stacking the boxes next to each other as MaCenna place then. Instead put 2nd (or newer box) begin the one in front as you would put soda cans in the fridge. It gives you more visibility & you’ll know what you have & how many. If your knife rack is shifting fold a old kitchen towel & place it in the back of the drawer to brace it.

[@kristinakahn7661]

MaCenna getting a new house is like when your fav tv show launches a new season 🥳 I was thinking the "breakfast nook" space you weren't sure what to do with may be a good spot to put a stand alone pantry situation. Like a wardrobe but for your kitchen?

[@antonellabassi3466]

This! She could thrift a china cabinet or hutch to use as a pantry.

[@donnamorrison4747]

I just love the way Kinsley is looking all the boxes as you open them . She is so curious . You need to make up a box of things n treats for just her and film it as you open it

[@Sissi999]

Hello MaCenna, congratulations to you and your Beloved for the new Home. I believe it's stunning. the scissors that comes with the knifes , I think it's for cutting poultry, from the whole in to smaller pieces. Especially to cut Tru bones, I think Romeo knows for sure.

[@rebekahgunn8019]

I really recommend sealing the handles of your new knives with Danish oil or mineral oil (food safe). Helps the wood stay strong and healthy for much longer ❤️

[@CourtneyBishopPOA]

Oh, great idea! I should look into this for my new wood cutting board.

[@maryholstein2089]

The best advice I’ve heard for organizing your kitchen is to imagine you are cooking a meal and think about where to put things so the process goes smoothly. Also, use lazy Susans and shelf risers to maximize the use of your cupboard space. I’d give serious thought to getting a freestanding pantry cupboard to put against that blank wall. It will give you lots more storage space, which you will need when you grow your family.

[@lorraineyanez4301]

Omg. Kingsley is a smart 🍪. I love seeing her at that window.

[@rosehughes599]

Get little plastic "bumpers" for cupboard doors to stop them banging when you shut them. They are tiny sticky discs

[@karmad4491]

Putting stuff in cabinets - fascinating! inspirational! /s

[@Stephanie-lg1cm]

Compared to kitchens here in the uk, yours is huge, with so much storage. I love it!

[@carrieschumacher4421]

Keep like items together-move Kinsley’s things and put your to-go mugs on that bottom shelf.

[@JackieBluXO]

The sliding baskets in the bottom drawers are for your dishes, bowls, etc. The ones you don’t fill can be used as a pantry/storage

[@anitawoollard7087]

Yes, at 20:53 she wonders what the baskets in that cupboard were for, but being right next to the dishwasher it's for dishes and bowls, easy access.

[@AnjelRussell]

If you have empty wall space, perhaps you can do plate rails for your plates to save room in your cabinets! Like Gwyneth Paltrow did in her kitchen in her AD tour! I also really like the idea of hanging your cutting boards. Very European.

[@joannaheyman]

Instead of adding another shelf for the plates, you can add a shelf riser for extra storage.

[@libertyblueskyes2564]

When you do remodel the kitchen, open it up to the dining room and incorporate a larger space with island seating, lots of storage. Your living room is large enough to fit a dining table, just move the sofa closer to the fireplace. Or use the front room as foyer/ dining because how often do you use a formal dining room? It could hold a big table with flower vase and books that converts to dining.

[@LumunGames]

This is so fun, watching you settle into your new house! Congratulations on the purchase. Since you don't really have anything much to go in the 'front' living room area, maybe it would be nice to set up your dining room there. Then when you reno the kitchen, you could take out the wall between the existing kitchen and that dining area back there, and make one large kitchen with a nice over-sized island and a walk-in pantry. It would probably still leave lots of room for a small breakfast nook at the windows overlooking the backyard/pool. Just a thought.

[@kendallcurtis5593]

I am loving this new series!!! Thank you for taking us along and opening up your personal lives to us all!

[@GillDawe]

Will you have guests on your podcast? I think it would be so fun to talk to all of the different DIY channels! So many different background, skills, and styles ono youtube!

[@kimdickinson5277]

I think it would be a great idea to use that small room you said was the dining room as a pantry/coffee bar/storage room. You could make it really pretty and functional. Then use your formal living room as the dining room. Just a thought. Love your videos and thanks for sharing with us!!

[@bayleeblanke9960]

I’d love to see you make/create an “appliance pantry”, my home needs one so bad! You are my inspo for all the things like that!

[@CourtneyBishopPOA]

That's a great idea!!

[@akelly4207]

I live in a small cottage with very little space and no storage. My appliances are all kept in an antique cabinet in my living room right by the kitchen door. It’s so close it makes zero difference and I don’t have them cluttering up the place. Now if I can just figure out a way to keep all my decor pieces without looking like I have 3 times the amount I need I’ll be good. 🤣 I’m no minimalist that’s for sure.

[@sallysmith4492]

Great feeling that this house is already your home. Sometimes it takes a little time but you seem so comfortable in your surroundings. What's more...Kinsley seems to be doing well!!! Dogs aren't as accepting of new environments but she seems to be doing well. Congrats with everything!!

[@anaschulz8084]

I’m quite ridiculously happy every time you upload a video! It’s all the things ❤

[@karmad4491]

"All the things." Indeed.

[@dirthoney1565]

Ooooo! A lime wash on the staircase wall would be such a beautiful soft statement

[@2006marsha]

I understand about not having enough space. I redid my kitchen about 10 years ago and I wish I would’ve put a walk-in pantry. Please build a walk-in pantry for that kitchen when you redo your kitchen. That way you can store all your big appliances in there and other things. I’m excited for you guys. Cheers.🎉

[@childressherd1558]

You should make Romeo’s office where your master bedroom is now. That also gives access to a bathroom when everyone is in the pool. And you will be closer to the baby’s room upstairs.

[@KellyP1859]

Love all the character of your house. An idea for extra storage and prep area maybe a roll away kitchen island. This could be stored on the wall you wanted to create a cutting board wall. Can’t wait to see the rest of the house. 😊

[@monalingan9523]

I am a military brat, which means that we moved around often. My mom had moving down to a science. Your organizational skills are apparent. You will have this place whipped together in no time.

[@abbysmilesdesign]

It makes my heart so happy seeing little miss Kinsley loving life with you in your new home!! ❤ I lost my Soul Dog almost 3 months ago now, and it sure brings me joy seeing you have what I had with my Smithers. ❤ I am so excited for you and your new journey!!!

[@natmrk7269]

Ahhh!! Im so excited watching this new series! So happy for you girl!!!!!

[@xomacennavlogs]

thank you soooooo much!!!

[@lindaga820]

Kinsley is too cute inspecting all your packages !!!

[@UsernamesForDummies]

I’m childishly proud that “my” MaCenna bought ON sneakers. I’m from Zurich in Switzerland, where they were created. It’s also a company with a great philosophy. Btw, these are poultry shears. To cut off wings and legs and open the ribs. Very helpful when butterflying a chicken, or after cooking to portion the meat. They cut through the bones very well.

[@ellenharshman9974]

Not sure which I like more, the pull out abnit racks or watching Kinsey exploring boxes and playing with caps.

[@vickirickman5828]

The black side board would look good in your kitchen by the window. And you guys can used the dinner room for eating all the time.

[@alex_long]

I love all these videos of setting up a new home after a move. Something to be aware of is knife blocks and wood holders tend to harbor bacteria so you'll want to remember to sanitize on a regular basis.

[@patriciaschmitt6448]

HUGE tip McCenna that I read: all your silverware, large chopping knives (anything you use to eat or cook with that's silver or gold) should be washed in mild dish soap, rinsed and DRIED. They will last forever and I'm living proof. No dishwasher for my babies.

[@judyoneal7887]

MaCenna, I was tired of giving up space in the kitchen cabinets for appliances I need, but use rarely. So I had my husband put up a 5-shelf shelving unit in the garage but just off the kitchen & out the door that goes from the house into the garage. I call it my appliance pantry & it has the Nesco turkey roaster, Insta-Pot, my crock pots, water bath canner, canning jars, the deep fryer, my enamel roasting pan, & a few other things. To keep all that clean I found a cover on Amazon for it made from heavy duty clear vinyl & it has great zippers on it for very easy access. I always rinse things off but the cover completely envelopes the shelves & keeps it from getting dirty/dusty in the garage. It freed up so much space inside! You might consider doing the same for some of your larger or seldom used appliances. ps-The house is darling! Congrats to you & Romeo! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@thehugheslife1230]

Add a hutch! Covered storage for small appliances and glass doors for dishes and a surface for your toaster oven or a buffet style dinner party. It's the most practical and beautiful thing in my kitchen!

[@01baia]

I love the persistence of Kinsley who keeps bringing the blue plastic lid to you for you to play with her!

[@karmad4491]

Too bad it never seems to work. SMH.

[@KimLong-od2es]

I'm really ill at the moment and you surprising us with your beautiful new home has done nothing but cheer me up. Can't wait to see what you do with your home.

[@Smerememmata98C]

Wish you a quick recovery ❤

[@Lela_Emily]

I personally would’ve tried to put cereal in “pantry” area and put appliances above oven. That way that entire section is cooking appliances.

[@olivias4895]

Just a couple suggestions with the organization-- I would move Kinsley's stuff to maybe a cabinet or dresser somewhere like in the guest room or Romeo's office since real estate is limited in the kitchen! I'd also try and put the lid for the pots and pans elsewhere, I feel like that big drawer just for lids is a missed opportunity! Not sure if there is room for a hutch or kind of island with storage off to the side under the windows, but might be a good option to fill in that space, add some extra storage & of course bring in a piece of vintage furniture!

[@lr9010]

kinsley's love for all of the things is so funny.

[@gemmadarlingdailypodcast]

You are gonna think I’m crazy but what if you put your workspace in the little dining room and put a nice table in the corner of the living room? Just an idea… I’m enjoying seeing how you set up the space and wonder if you’ll end up switching things around once you start using it for things… Love when you upload a new video! Thank you so much for inviting us into your life!

[@yorkielover1027]

That black sideboard at the Rose Bowl was spectacular!!!! It would look amazing in your new house!!!

[@PrettyPFJ]

Loving this series! I would consider: making the dining room into a pantry/storage room, and make the formal living room at the front entrance of the house into the dining room. It creates storage for larger appliances, food, boxes, dog food, baby food, etc. and is highly functional.

[@GodessSiri]

You've got space above the cabinets, you could find a pretty basket with a lid (maybe a picnic basket) and put all the stuff you don't use in a basket on top if the cabinets. Of course once, eventually, you do the built in bookshelves with storage underneath in the living room that's going to be perfect for holding that stuff.

[@gigglibox1174]

Can’t begin to explain how OBSESSED I am with the new intro!

[@mariannamacomber2114]

I highly recommend that you use your wine glasses for everyday use. Why not be fancy with your water? Also what do you think about a bakers type rack in that open wall for your appliances? I love the idea of the dry goods in those jars in that shallow cabinet but I recommend labeling your jars or cutting the original labels and taking on the jars, this way you'll have any directions you may need. Great job on the knife organizer!.

[@pamcharles926]

Put your plates in the drawer by your dishwasher; that's where we keep ours and it's easier. Hang up the things you can, like the bag dispenser. Don't go putting dishes in the cabinets that you don't use; if you keep with just placing your basics it'll be so much easier.

[@marycelalopez]

I’ve been living in my house for 4 years and I am still moving things around my kitchen. We built in a pantry and that definitely helped with keeping all the dried foods in one place and things like that. Do not stress too much MaCenna, with time you will find the perfect place for everything. It’s putting way too much on yourself finding a place for all the things right now. See what I did there? 😅 Love ya girl!!

[@JoieFoster]

We also just bought a home in SoCal in September and I swear I am still rearranging my kitchen as I learn what's working or not. I like your idea of turning that shallow cabinet into a dry good pantry. I bet you could thrift (or make!) a china cabinet or hutch and put it in that "dead space" you were worried about between the outside door and entryway to the dining room. Two birds, one stone, etc

[@AWrandom20]

I love kitchen shears! You can just cut up so many things with scissors versus having to get a cutting board and knife out. We cut up our cilantro with our kitchen scissors sausages, etc. also we hand wash our knives because they have a natural handle and they are in perfect condition. Your knives will last so long!

[@pennycox1432]

You need to add little cushion dots on bottom of cabinet doors so they don't bang. Lol You could add cup hook or command hook to hang colander on cabinet door , add a lid holder to mount on cabinet door . So then the lid drawer would be empty for something else . 🤗

[@ih458]

I've been waiting on this all day!!! Need my Macenna fix!!!! These house vlogs are the BEST!!!! I've watched each at least 5x... 😊

[@cooky75015]

Me too 😄😊☺

[@SeaTurtle515]

I’ve owned several older homes with original cabinets and they were all small. My hat off to the women who cooked everything from scratch back then and dealt with those cabinets. Maybe on one of those empty walls you get an old fashion floor to ceiling cupboard or armoire. But what ever you do will look awesome. I love going through the move- in process with you. Can’t wait for your Momma to visit. 💕

[@heidibarker4083]

An idea for you! We put our pots and pans lids in the drawer under the oven! It works fantastic and then you would get an extra drawer!

[@donniemckim1526]

Love, love, love your channel…but please finish your Texas home…dying to see the finished kitchen!🙏🏻❤️🤭

[@kimesser2318]

Put your spices in the drawer next to stove in glass spice jars alphabetical. So convenient.

[@floweringflux]

I love organizing vids lol. In my kitchen with limited upper shelving, the metal wire risers/shelves were a life saver for me to be able to fit all my plates and bowls in one cabinet! They also sell the multi-level ones specifically for different size plates but my cabinets were too shallow for it

[@jenniferc7831]

We’ve been in our house for a year and a half and I just reorganize half of the cabinets yesterday. Sometimes it takes a bit of living with the problem to figure out the solutions. Also, in the narrow drawer I’d put oven mitts or tea towels.

[@liwianncook8001]

Here in the UK we mostly have to keep all our food and pantry stuff in the kitchen unless you are rich enough to buy a huge house with extra room, we do have utility rooms but most of us don’t and have to keep our washing machine, dryer and the liquids and big bulky boxes for powders in the kitchen cupboards too. I’m so jealous of the space American houses have.

[@lesliwiese4121]

As you shop for a cabinet, I'd suggest one with glass or wood display shelves on top and closed storage at the bottom to hide extra appliances, linens, occasional serving pieces, etc. I also have the same cabinet & drawer liner and it has not yellowed!

[@rosevanstaden4562]

I love your logic regarding how you packing the kitchen. Functional and practical. I would do what you mentioned at the end with the dry goods in jars, and in that larger cabinet next to the range hood I’ll do plates and the bowls ( plates at the top and bowls at the bottom). This would free more space for pantry items on the other side. So where you have the plates you can still do oils and taller cooking things and now it would be next to the other pantry things. I’m sure once you get your dinning room sorted you will add a server (china cabinet) to put your fancy dishes and glasses. I’m excited for you and it’s all coming together. Good luck and hope you guys have a wonderful week

[@bindirock1572]

So, can we go back to Texas now? That house there has so much more soul.

[@kamilazotanska7539]

MaCenna you do amaizing job in new home. I have this suggestion for you, consider buying a hutch on flea market, you can place her in the "dining" (wall you can see from kitchen, if it fit) and you can store your plates, bowls and other nice things in upper behind the glass, and less preety things hide in lower cabinets (sorry for my bad english) 😁

[@beckycox2672]

McCenna, I can't thank you enough for sharing your homes, renovations, organizing, and decorating. I greatly appreciate you trying to be frugal by going to estate sales, thrift stores, and flea markets. Being on a very limited income, I live vicariously through you and your beautiful lifestyle. My house is very traditional, but I have learned so much about decorating from watching you. I am in love with your new house. I can't wait to see the cottage finished. Please continue to give basic but honest decorating suggestions and how-to's. Thanks again for allowing us in your home.

[@Pamkkw]

I would use the little drawer to the right of the oven for oven mitts 😊 love these types of videos! Fun to watch this all come together!

[@chiaralennon1894]

open shelving would also be super cute on the wall where you wanted to hang cutting boards!

[@matildaahlstrom7710]

It's the neverending struggle to find scissors! At home, at work, at friends places, they are never where you would expect!

[@wandadelacruz2486]

Kinsley is just like my Bichon Lulu. When we bought our house. We had to step and she ran upstairs to the guess bathroom that faces our garage. I told my husband, how did she know that. They’re so smart.

[@misskatzlife5892]

I FEEL THE KITCHEN MAKEOVER MAY BE SOONER THEN YOU THINK 😍

[@nwingatechi]

Macenna, have you thought about maybe using the space behind the kitchen as a pantry instead of a dining area? You could close off the one door going into the living area, and keeping that door connected to the kitchen open.

[@doig18]

As someone that cooks, it’s a bit easier to have your spices where you can see them. I noticed you didn’t have much in the cabinet to the left of the stove. Maybe invest in a spice riser and put them there so you can see them all. I know you do hello fresh a lot but maybe for those meals you do cook? I LOVE the idea of the cutting boards on the wall for decor and then it becomes pretty and practical to store them! ❤

[@ashleys8197]

You have really pretty pots and pans. You could get a rod and hooks and hang them on your wall instead. Serves as decor and gives you more cabinet space. That’s what I did in my kitchen it made them so much easier to access. Your new home is beautiful! Congratulations!!

[@CarrieNita]

The blank wall - where you were talking about hanging the nice cutting boards - would be a good place for a China cabinet

[@AnnaReed42]

I like the idea of using that shallow cupboard as a dry goods pantry space. That or a spice cabinet (yes, my spices could probably mostly fill that thing). Plates and bowls and servingware on either side of the range hood, maybe. This video makes me want to get in there and organize with you 😂 Organizing a kitchen is so fun to me.

[@amara560]

I get the 'many spices thing'. I have a cupboard full of spices and baking adjacent things like baking soda, sugar, etc.

[@ashleyrose1840]

LOVE the French provincial style. It’s my favorite. I could absolutely see you doing some of that in your new home. ❤️❤️

[@Crybaybee]

I am currently making my wedding registry and your video inspired me to pick out some kitchen organization items!

[@walkwithMilo]

I do love a practical kitchen, I.e holds everything you need and more! You will find the flow of the kitchen, making it easier to know which cupboards to put what in. When I redesigned my kitchen I had an idea of everything I needed from it and where all my items would go. It made so much difference being able to sign off knowing we had what we needed and 4 years later I still love it.

[@ramonamartinez735]

Hi MaCenna, I think the front room would make a great dining room.with Romeo family being so big for the holidays. The room behind the kitchen would make a great butlers pantry and breakfast nook. Love, love the new house.

[@colleenmcculloch1527]

I watch your videos. You will do a great job decorating your home with all you have thrifted and own previously. You are so good at picking up items to reuse and give them a new life

[@beverlyherring6595]

You are very right in my experience that kitchens are really hard to organize and likely you will shift things several times before it works maximally. But the process is a bit fun, too.

[@RaeC5280]

I love the process of unpacking in a new home, and figuring out where to put everything! So fun.

[@debradorpmans1873]

As you and Romeo use the kitchen you will figure it all out. I have rearranged mine a few times to make it work more efficiently. Rubbing a wax candle on old drawers makes them slide like butter

[@teresamacdonald9268]

I got a new kitchen 6 months ago and I am still switching the locations of everything. You have to see how it works, to maximise the layout.

[@annsmith4739]

Kingsley made me smile she brought you a plastic cup to play an you were showing us what you brought,she wasn’t impressed ha ha 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️

[@woin9361]

11:59 ❤❤❤❤that necklace!!! I love the two contrasting chain textures so much

[@SandraGrimes-rt9we]

MaCenna for the time being have you thought about floating shelves on the wall in the kitchen for your cutting boards on edges along with your dry goods in your pretty containers and jars, mixed in with a few decor items and pictures. Then you could free up a shelf or two in your cupboards for less attractive kitchen items and small appliances. Just a thought.

[@memoonashahid9466]

its raining here in Dubai and i am watching macenna with a cup of coffee, best combo. lots of love, XO

[@deidresmith4014]

I would put the crockpot and blender up high where you put the cereal. The pull out drawers are nice for accessibility too. Will be interesting to see what the final reveal is. Thanks for sharing the process. I love figuring and configuring this kind of stuff.

[@Strar75]

I think you should use the space above the fridge, maybe build a temporary box to hind the smaller appliances?

[@megancrocker2234]

Hi girl, I hope Rome did well. I like the lamp you found and rug. It was fun to see you organizing the kitchen and figuring where things are going to go. Thinking what if you made room for an island maybe you could put appliances there. Or see about moving the cereal and putting them there. I love seeing the doggie 🐶 watching you leave. So, cute. Enjoy your new home. Stay safe. Have a good night. God Bless and family too!! Xo 😘
