Macenna, I know you’ll appreciate this: I had a man encounter me at my place of business, he asked me if he could speak to the manager. I smiled back, and asked him how I could help. He paused, looked aggravated and said firmly, “No, I want to speak to the MAN IN CHARGE!” I continued to smile (with effort) and said, “Sir, I AM the man in charge!” 🙄😂💪

[@dianepereira1860]

I would have loved to see his face! 😂

[@erindixon2877]

What a pain in the butt! The guy needs to drag his antiquated thinking into they 21st century….Funny thing though, my grandmother owned a small grocery market in the 1930s into WW2. She ran the shop and my grandfather helped out as needed.

[@hazelbluealroy1471]

The man in charge! Wow

[@special_spaces]

Go girl!

[@xomacennavlogs]

UGHHHHHH that frustrates me so much! wow! I love that " I AM the man in charge!"

[@bunchofbrunners8473]

I’m 33 weeks pregnant, and the entire pregnancy I’ve been very conscious to not *only* feed my brain with baby content- so to combat becoming obsessive (lol) I’ve really dove into house/styling/diy type content! Our styles are SO different, I love mid century modern, 70’s and 80’s styles, white walls lol but I still love to see how you style things and love to see someone passionate about what they do! I’ve been watching your videos almost from recent and now I’m going through older once since I just recently found your channel. Just wanted to stop by and say I love your content, it’s very relaxing and upbeat and positive and I am so thankful I found your channel!

[@AleeshaWeesha]

Firstly, the loungers are gorgeous! Secondly, I'm glad you stood your ground with the vendor. That happened to me when I was car shopping and had my boyfriend with me. We walked in the door and only my boyfriend was greeted. When we first sat down to negotiate our salesman began directing his comment to my boyfriend. I immediately stopped him and said, "I'm the one buying the car, it's my money. He's just the chauffeur." 😂 I did some hard-hitting negotiation that day while my boyfriend remained silent the entire time. Down with misogyny!

[@3Oh3metrostation]

its kind of a blessing sometimes bc haggling can be so uncomfortable (and I feel guilty/shame) but when someone is being sexist and u can use that anger to get a good deal. i'm sure the vendor was a nice guy but he shouldn't have turned away from her to speak to the romeo and he lost out on some extra cash bc of it. Respect woman.

[@xomacennavlogs]

he's just the chauffeur!!! hahahahahah

[@Summer55Nicole]

I just commented the same thing. My husband and I just went car shopping and the very same thing happened to me. Although I’m the one who found the car, researched everything, knows all of our finances lol

[@alisabundrick4707]

Macenna those are amazing loungers! If you can easily remove one of the arms from the lounger you could put it on the other so each has one arm on opposite sides... then the loungers could be pushed together sometimes to create a sweet spot for two.

[@BThirstyPretzel]

Great idea and advice! I hope she sees your comment

[@alisabundrick4707]

@@denisejones1863 That is very true - I love reading so I understand this need, especially with a hardback....

@@BThirstyPretzel thank you - lounging with your favorite person by the pool sounds wonderful!

[@laurenpero1367]

I’d love to see the loungers are chairs switched? The pool stairs right there feels cramped next to the loungers? Regardless they are so lovely! Good job standing up for yourself!!!

[@3Oh3metrostation]

oooh that's a creative solution to save a few bucks. honestly, i might be weird but I kinda like the look of just one having arms. something about it idk

[@katelynbassett5626]

Yesss!!! This is why I love you!! Speaking up and standing your ground! You empower woman with your content everyday!

Good for you MaCenna for standing your ground with the fellow selling the chaise lounge. How rude and discriminatory! Love it!

I wouldn’t shellack these beauties just let patina. I’m jealous!

Love you ❤

[@alisabundrick4707]

Depending on what country the gentleman was from, it may be the custom and he did not realize how rude he was being to Macenna....

[@b25contreras]

Yes definitely more of a respect thing. If he was Mexico/Latino, older married men will direct the conversation to the male out of respect for his wife and Macenna16 .

[@mitneymorrison8081]

I agree, this mindset by men needs to done away.

[@echothegoodwolf]

When my partner and I go to the hardware store the employees are always turning away from me (the handy one) and speaking to my partner (who is not handy at all). He usually has to remind them at least twice in a conversation, “talk to her… talk to her…” Makes me love him even more!

[@kaitlynwoods11ify]

i am so so proud of you for standing up for yourself. This is your job and you know what you want. He made a mistake thinking you didn't know what you were talking about. You're probably a better handyman than he could ever hope to be

[@janineyandura3385]

I find it amusing when they try talking to the "man in charge" because usually before I can even say anything my husband says "Don't look at me. You're dealing with her." It's always fun to see the look on their face when they realize they just screwed up. LOVE that you stepped right up and let him know how badly he messed up with his chauvinistic attitude. 😂

[@regedowdy4040]

My husband does the same thing. Some men will refused to look women in the eyes. My husband can see me getting furious. He will say “She in charge deal with her not me”.

[@lynnewilkerson1238]

Exactly!!! But it's your husband that tells them that. You don't put your hand over his mouth to stop him from telling that person that. I think it's great she stuck up for herself, she just did it in an extremely disrespectful way to the person she supposedly loves to.....what, put some random guy in his place?!? Petty as hell.

[@3Oh3metrostation]

On the brightside, I think the vendor's screw up helped her get a better deal for the chairs bc she didn't feel bad about haggling. Hopefully he thinks twice next time

[@supernatural5354]

I think it's because she left and then brought Romeo back. I can see why he thought she was asking Romeo if he wanted to buy them.

[@lynnewilkerson1238]

@@3Oh3metrostation If that was an older Mexican man that interaction could've had the exact opposite effect..because of her obvious disrespect to her man, he could've told her flat out get out of my booth. Those were quality loungers and someone else would've bought them.....I just don't get why people are so disrespectful over very minor misunderstandings. She got lucky this time. Jmo😉

[@tambij]

We own a Sailboat ⛵️ & all the woodwork inside & out. Teak is amazing outdoor wood but I do have a recommendation. Don’t let them get grey & discolored. It’s a ton of work to get teak looking like your lounger’s. Keep them covered, light sand & teak oil & teak conditioner every spring & they will last “Forever”. We have a lot of teak in & out of our boat and all the teak that is in the outer cabin & handrails I made covers for them ( it’s a lot less upkeep having the covers I highly recommend them ) ⛵️ 😁

[@JoinGrowthMentality]

I'm SO glad you stood your ground and advocating for yourself!! Not always easy to do but so necessary.

[@talyja16]

I can't believe you found a replica of the chairs that you wanted from online thrifting! 🤯 it was meant to be!!! 🙌🏽 I'm happy for you, Macenna! ❤

[@shaynasteingard4282]

WAY TO GO! I'm so glad you stood up for yourself!

[@ucsbalum73]

Good job standing up to that guy. I ate it when men dismiss the woman. Go girl go!

[@cherrieraimes-hall3843]

Macenna, he spoke to Romeo because he thought you went off and brought the "purse" the guy didn't think about the man in charge he thought guaranteed sale

[@Beruthiel45]

I'm so delighted that you spoke up to the seller when he ignored you like that. As a senior woman I could tell so many similar stories from my younger days, but nowadays I do speak up. ☹️ It is enraging, and people wonder why we get crabby after a lifetime of being ignored or dismissed. 🥴 Well done MaCenna! 🤗👍 ❤ I almost forgot to say what a fantastic deal! Omg. Teak! 😮😊

[@lindadoucetowen]

For your back patio, you can look up DIY backyard games, that would be a cool vid to see you making those backyard games in your style. You definitely need another umbrella, hang fairy lights on the underside and it could look so amazing.

[@AlegnaAjai]

He actually may have innocently (and chauvinistically *lol) thought that because you didn't make the decision on your first visit and came back with Romeo that that meant he was the decision maker. You still got a great deal so kudos to you and your bargaining skills!

[@Know_Thy_Salt]

Those teak wood chairs are absolutely stunning! What an incredible find. The general “rule” (I use that term loosely) for this type of outdoor furniture is… If it has arms, it’s for lounging. And if it doesn’t, it’s for sunbathing. Can’t wait to see you create a beautiful poolside oasis.

[@brendariley8982]

My favorite vlog. OMG, I had to go get my husband to watch. HA!! How many times have I had to inform different people over the years that " I'm" the buyer making the deals. Even buying a car, the dealer will only look at my husband and not me when it's my purchase. The last person said to me " well, we only deal with the head of the house hold" LOL, sorry dude, our marriage is a partnership, not a dictatorship. Our gender rolls are so screwed up. OMG!! MaCenna, thank you for this today, you made my day so very special. I'm so proud of you for standing in your own power girl. YAY!! You go girl!!

[@lbourg2524]

Since you brought Romeo over to ask him questions , the gentleman, I feel thought you needed his permission or guidance. Sometimes it is that way with both men and women. I think he was confused possibly. Good find MaKenna!

[@velandrea]

16:04 I’m thinking the vendor thought Romeo was the buyer/ decision maker because you told him you would be right back and brought Romeo to look at them before making the final decision. I totally would feel the same way you did but maybe that’s why the vendor addressed Romeo to make the final offer ☺️ What a beautiful find and great deal. So excited to see the the backyard come together! 🧡

[@chelseygarrett4221]

Yeah that would make sense if Romeo asked the question if someone's talking to you it's rude to ignore them and start talking to someone else.

[@velandrea]

@@chelseygarrett4221​​⁠​⁠​⁠​​⁠​⁠ I get it, like I said I would have felt the same way as MaCenna but she set him up to think Romeo was the one paying up. Her reaction was also rude to Romeo and the vendor 🤷‍♀️ And frankly that was already a great deal, didn’t need to haggle anymore especially if the vendor was helping out a friend. But that’s on the vendor for not knowing the value of what he was selling.

[@gordita971]

@chelsey garrett I agree with you Her reaction to was very disrespectful to Romeo and the vendor. More importantly to Romeo. She could have simply not included this in her blog altogether but, to say that the vendor assumed Romeo was the one with the money was disrespectful to Romeo.

[@nottheone582]

@@velandrea Hard disagree. My partner consults me all the time on purchases he makes, but I've never had a salesperson assume I am the one paying. It only ever happens the opposite, where they assume my male partner is paying, even if I was the one asking all the questions and initially interested. You sound like you're making apologies for sexist men! they don't need your protection babe

[@velandrea]

@@nottheone582 lol you don’t know me. And we don’t know the man, we don’t know his intention. I was simply sharing a different observation. If people assume your partner is paying, simple prove them wrong. I was at Ace Hardware two weeks ago looking for longer trim screws that I had bought at Home Depot, a man working there asks me what I’m looking for and dismissively says he’s never heard of that, he even “organized the entire nails and screw section himself”. I look straight ahead and see the trim screws I was looking for. He looked surprised and said you learn something new everyday. That moment was so satisfying, I love proving men (or women) wrong but I’m not opposed to giving them the benefit of the doubt either. Everyone makes mistakes. Not making apologies for sexist men 🙄

Hubs looked at him and said I have no idea … she’s the one doing this not me. He very grudgingly turned to me and asked for someone different to help with my order. It is infuriating!

[@conniehall5893]

I don't think he was being disrespectful. Because you brought "THE MAN" back asking Romeo "what do you think?" Therefore, he directed his attention to "THE MAN." Don't take it personally. ❤

[@adinadade8167]

Agreed

[@rachellee.9389]

One thing I learned about garage sales about 25 years ago, and I'll bet that goes for flea markets as well, is that the buyer should not dress fancy. The sellers will look at you and figure you can afford it if they jack up the price. That is especially true in cases where the items are not priced - the price changes depending on how the seller feels at the moment. Also, we used to set our automatic sprinklers very early in the morning, maybe 4am or 5am, because we were told that was the best time to water.

[@lisatheintuitive]

I always water after sundown 😊

[@monicaredman1719]

Yes early morning. Less evaporation than there is while the sun is out AND less bacteria/fungus development than right after sunset since the water won’t sit on the leaves as long. ❤

[@athenakamvi5779]

I agree on both counts. Probably wearing a Prada bag and $140 sneakers may not get you rock-bottom prices!

[@amandasacco8304]

Great find on the chairs. Don’t use anything but oil on them-you will wind up needing to strip them. We had a pool for 30 years with a lot of landscaping around it so I feel your pain. Good idea to vacuum it-some plants will stain the bottom surface if you leave it there. Your roses are beautiful!

Tip to keep the flatbread from being soggy. Buy a pizza screen. Should help keep the flatbread crisp. I use mine for pita pizza.

Clematis would be really beautiful on your gazebo. It’s a gorgeous plant 🌱. Flowers 🌺 summer to fall, comes in a variety of colors, easy to grow, it’s a perennial so comes back bigger & better every year, & it’s not a thick heavy vine, so it will not break your gazebo/trellis.

Can you take the right arm off and put it on the right of the opposite and then they can each have an arm which would allow them to be pushed together (for snuggles nights by the pool)?

That is a Brilliant Idea!

[@lauramitchell6725]

The trunk had thick leather straps (above the writing,at 28:24) for handles,they lay flat then curve out so that you can put your fingers underneath to carry it. I have my grandfather’s trunk that he used to come here from Germany a hundred years ago and the sides look exactly the same.

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

The Kingsley sun loungers were meant to be. Congratulations. I like your other beautiful finds, too.😀

[@Mokiecon]

Do not shellac them if it is teak. I did a lot of research on wood and teak furniture last year and what you need to do is re-condition them each year if you want to maintain the color (like you said). Get the Golden Care brand, it is the same brand that Restoration Hardware uses.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I second this! My daughter lived in an old turn of the last century building built with four apartments. Her apartment was the lower right side of the building and her living room overlooked the huge front porch. She bought a 36" round teak table and two armchairs so she could eat al fresco or just sit and watch the world go by in the evening. She bought good quality teak oil and put it on every year. It's been over 10 years and still going strong and still the pretty teak color. And that was even with it being left outside in 2 upstate NY winters after she moved back north! Edited because iPhone decided to change "teak" to "teal"...

[@xomacennavlogs]

100% not shellac-ing! all the info the vendor was giving was incorrect so I definitely needed to do my own research to find the right info on them!

[@erinmoore9681]

If they were redwood, maybe, but since they’re labeled “teak”, you know he had no idea what he was talking about.

[@nadinemadsen4366]

Those loungers are gorgeous and they fit perfectly in that space. I almost think they are kind of neat being a little different with one having arms and wheels and the other not. And I loved the story you told about the gentleman selling them. Hopefully after that encounter he will change his way of interacting with customers. I can't even count how many times I have been dismissed or overlooked simply because I was with a man, even though I was the purchaser. My mom had a very strong personality so I learned from the best, as I see you have as well.

[@ihogenhuis960]

What a deal! Good for you for correcting the guy at the market.

[@Summer55Nicole]

It’s so funny hearing you talk about this because I just experienced something similar when buying a car with my husband. I am the one who did the research, found the car and does most of our finances. The sales man would look at my husband when he asked questions and when I asked questions he almost seemed annoyed. This honestly happened at a few different lots we visited. I think after I got married I notice it a lot more now

[@barbaradelong8971]

Such a good deal! I love the way you get so excited. The arms are great to have when you are sitting upright; however, it’s my opinion that the arms really get in the way when you want to lay on your stomach. Try it. I think you will like having one with and one without!

When I worked for Sears they taught us that a couple is better to close a sale than just one of the two. That’s because negotiations could go nowhere when the person says “I can’t make the final decision without my [husband/wife/partner].”

Put the pan in the oven as it’s preheating. That’s how you get the bottom crispy

23:58 A cute idea for Sun coverage over the chaises would be something in the way of a drapey-canopy-tent type situation. The organic shape of it would be really soft and pretty. Congrats on the great flea market find! And congrats on standing your ground in a firm but respectful way. Also for not trashing him afterward. You are a class act.

The way I hooped and hollered when you said how you asserted yourself to that man. YES GIRL! You're my best friend and don't even know it.

The absolute GALL of that guy looking to Romeo first. If I had a dollar for every time I've been disregarded as a woman, I'd be a millionaire...but I also work in a male-dominated field. Good on you for standing up for yourself! And getting those chaise loungers at such a deal! They're beautiful.
