Happy birthday!! I’m a professional framer and a great way to fix old frames is to make a mold out of epoxy sculpt or moldable silicon from the existing part of the moulding that is still intact, use mold release/Vaseline inside the mold you made, and use epoxy sculpt or plaster to fill the mold and glue the new piece on the frame. A little paint and patina will make it look like the damage was never there! That’s typically how we repair antique frames in our shop and it gives them a much longer life😊 love your videos💛

[@andreypj3619]

Hi, thank you for sharing this! can I ask what paint u use and what to use to patina? I have these 2 matching wooden gold gilt frames with some red paint showing through. I was thinking I could add gold leaf but I felt like it would look too bright. Perhaps there’s like a gold acrylic paint that would blend better.. thanks for ur time if ur able to answer!😅

[@cindyqueenofyou]

Yay! I came here to say this!! I do this with everything that I find that's damaged (not just frames) I've replaced hands on statues, etc.

[@addisonamendola3541]

@@andreypj3619 we use rub n buff or some watered down acrylic paint for the patina :) if there is red underneath it was definitely hand gilded, but if it has some patina to it then both of those options and some gold acrylic paint would help camouflage the repair! I would use a heavy bodied acrylic paint for the gold, definitely recommend bringing a picture of the frame to the store with you to try and find a good match as gold can vary in undertones

[@cbenji2]

Thank you for sharing that.

[@Beruthiel45]

Thank you for that info! Very useful to know. 👍😊💕

[@andreamarielachaves878]

I go through life looking at stuff and thinking "oh, Macenna would love that!" or "Drew would love that!"

[@denises9426]

Me too!! 😂

[@ingeborgroos9415]

I find myself almost buying stuff that they would love even though it doesn't fit in my space at all!

[@michellelockhart964]

😂😂😂 me too

[@michellelockhart964]

I see sweatshirts that Romeo would like too! 😂

[@totallytourist]

This is too real😂😂😂

[@MrLilbetter]

I would love to see a Drew and Macenna collab on a room together. I don't know if it would ever happen or even if it would ever work?? But it would be SUPER interesting!! 🤗

[@amywalker3811]

Maybe even if they collaborated on a room from each of their houses?!! I’d love to see that!!

[@gracestrumpfer1254]

They should do a master bedroom collab and bring in some his and hers vibes.

[@ludovica1914]

Yes! I think it could so work because the French Country/Dark Academia and Eclectic Spanish Revival have some serious overlap potential in my opinion! They could totally do a modern eclectic like Mediterranean situation!

[@MrLilbetter]

@@ludovica1914 I believe it absolutely could work too! But I understand that Macenna is a very solo act, and it's in no shape or form shade, she did mention that, and we have to respect that it's ultimately up to her what she wants to do! But absolutely! SO MUCH overlap it would gorgeous to see what they could do together if that's conducive for what they both want

[@ayeeangie21]

100% yessss

[@nicolemorello4692]

That brass easel would be so cute on the kitchen counter with an old family heirloom recipe card sitting in it!

[@CheriJ11]

I framed one of my favourite recipes that my Mom used to make and it’s written in her handwriting. It’s a treasured keepsake now. I hung it in the kitchen but I like the easel idea even more!

[@donnadillon5525]

🎉Happy Birthday!! That lemon looks like a grapefruit. Have a wonderful Birthday party ❤

[@terrichaney4580]

My son has a lemon bush/tree and get loads of lemons on it. I took 30 lemons and you could hardly notice I took any. I brought them home and found a recipe for lemon cello. I’ve made two batches now, and each batch makes 14 bottles. It tastes great and makes great gifts.

[@lovly2cu725]

LEMONCELLO CAKE

[@kathleenrichardson6695]

Lemon butter is delicious and easy to make. Great on toast, crumpets and meringues.

[@lauramitchell6725]

terrichaney: Let me send you my address!🤣😅😂

[@virginiaraffaeli8332]

Happy 35th birthday MaCenna!!! I'm 26 and finally moving into my first apartment that isn't a flatshare. You've filled me with inspiration and ideas, and can't wait to decorate and diy! Happy birthday! Hope you live the year of your dreams with Romeo, your parents, Kingsley (and hopefully baby Lee). Love you❤

[@nickylast7405]

The joy you had when you picked your lemon was awesome!

[@crosie9670]

AHHHH I was literally on your page looking for updates and this suddenly popped up! Yay!!!!!

[@patsygoddard2791]

Same

[@joyceholtzinger451]

To fix that damaged frame you can make a mold from silicone caulk, the kind you use to caulk around the home. (video on KZbin naturally). once you have the silicone mixed up, just roll it out like a fat sausage and then flatten it to a thickness which will encompass the molding on the opposite side. Let that set up and then fill it with plaster of paris. When it's dry. You have a replica to replace the missing part of the frame. (I found a video that said you can mix some white glue or Mod Poge into the plaster of paris to make it stronger and less crumbly) Mother youtube has never steered me wrong. LOL!🥰 Happy Birthday!

[@sueblaisdell2430]

A drop of ammonia in the rinse water will make your glassware sparkle. An old trick from my bartender uncle. Works beautifully.

[@victoriacochran4532]

Happy Birthday! You deserve all the best thrift and vintage finds!

[@salmonpchase1963]

A product called Amazing is what you need to buy for recreating the missing pieces on the frames. It’s two of their products, one is Clay that you make a mold from other matching parts on the frame. After the mold drys, you use the other resin like product and pour into the mold. It hardens and turns white in 10 minutes. You can even cut with a scissors for a few minutes before it hardens. However, you will need to paint the pieces to match the frames. I did this on a dresser with missing fretwork and it turned out beautifully. Love your talent, your sweet personality and keep up the good vlogs!

[@shannonmcrae1364]

MaCenna I think you would look so cute with short hair !!!

[@michellem434]

I love how you stop and enjoy flowers ! It's the little things in life.

[@kittyglitter8186]

Kinsley thinks that little pitcher is her own coffee cup! Cutie pie!

[@audreyschmitt200]

When life gives you lemons and your boyfriend buys you a lemon picker for your birthday, make a joyful moment in a vlog and make everyone smile 💛💛💛💛💛💛

[@jennyvillarreal5490]

Your house is so beautiful and is coming together so nicely. I love the idea of the reading nook next to your desk! I think a chair with some color or a pattern to make it a distinct zone separate from the rest of the room would work. By the way, Alison Roman when she was at New York Times Cooking had a video about how to preserve lemons in jars. May be worth looking into. You can make fresh squeezed lemonade, too, which is so refreshing in the summer.

[@TheMichelled2]

Those little ceramic jars would look adorable on your kitchen window ledge with flowers in them.

[@JL11775]

You and Drew shopping together is the best!

[@clwm2dlw]

I'm glad you had a great birthday. I love that you're so excited about a fruit picker!!

[@juliarobinson4825]

I feel like Macenna is going to be a real taste maker one day. I have been following her for a while so I just noticed how much her audience grew. I always notice that her taste isn't always exactly what is currently most popular. This is kind of what makes me think she's going to keep growing and be as influential as the designers on HGTV network in the early 2010's.

[@LisaAdams.75]

I’ve never seen anyone so excited about picking lemons 😅. You’re too cute MaCenna ☺️

[@tracyball5041]

That fruit picker is EVERYTHING, well done Romeo 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️

[@rachelfetters5370]

i've never seen a hot pink hydrangea before.. those are stunning!! i'm so obsessed with your garden 😍😍

[@maggieglycerineclown2531]

Hi MaCenna, I have been following your channel for the past couple of years and watching your confidence and projects grow with you in that time has been honestly exhilarating. There have been a few moments when I have straight-up cheered at my laptop screen (when you dragged your bathtub across the cottage by yourself, when you got the stain right in the living room, when the bookshelves were finished with the face frame all around, when you finished stripping the beams). I got so used to watching you every day during Vlogmas last year that during your break in January, I revisited a few early cottage videos and was just blown away by how much you have really achieved. I admire your can-do attitude but I’m also glad that you allow yourself the time to recover-I always prefer quality over quantity and I know you do too. The relationship you have with your mom feels a lot like mine with my mom, so that always feels comforting and nice as well. The most recent podcast episode about being underestimated by men was my favorite so far. I turned 32 a couple of weeks ago, so happy belated birthday to us both. Thanks for making me feel like I can take risks and try anything. I’m so excited to watch your beautiful new California house grow with you and am mighty jealous of the brick floors. Can’t wait for the kitchen reno (and the planning episode was delightful!). I’m glad you were able to do so much to the formal living room that the icy rug disappeared. Sometimes stuff just works out that way. Rooting for you from Seattle. I would have put my bed downstairs too. XO, Maggie

[@annalinneajohansson]

(I guess YT doesn't like links in comments so I'll share the product names instead) For fixing the missing pieces on the frames I would use *Alumilite 10570 Amazing Mold Putty* and *Alumilite Amazing Casting Resin* It's super quick and easy to use and makes perfect replicas! Happy birthday Macenna! 🤩

[@juliacummins6724]

your new stone marmalade and mustard jars would be cute vases in your kitchen window. Happy belated birthday, hope your day was all you could have wished for.

[@claudialaurendeau2865]

U guys need to get a loupe so u know if its a copy or not. and u can make a mold of your frame trim.

[@donnamodzelewski6923]

The clock would have been perfect on your mantle. Happy birthday!

[@carolmackenzie2283]

Your marmalade stone wear is from Dundee Scotland, that’s where I am from made me smile, happy birthday.

[@TLCinCA]

My husband is also from Dundee.

[@cbgb3369]

The second you guys were suggesting you might have got an original Picasso from the flea market, I knew you were both my kind of people 😂 This is absolutely the lies my mum and I would tell each other to convince ourselves of the fact we just had to have it 😂

[@JamiRayVintage]

You can use a two part putty to make a mould and then pour the missing mould with resin and paint gold. That will be so good fixed up!

[@erinmoore9681]

I looked for this comment on the frame detailing

[@diannebernau3293]

I saw this done on a furniture flip channel yesterday on Elegant Updates channel. She used Amazing Mould Putty and Amazing Resin to make missing details on a wash stand. Kacha also does this for her furniture flipping on her channel, too.

[@MarieSunesen]

Store bought fruits often have a thin wax coating to make them prettier and last longer. That's why it's shiny. Fruit trees needs fertiliser and pruning to give a good fruit harvest. You're so good at research so you can properly find the best method for your trees online.

[@lisanestor5464]

Happy Birthday MaCenna!🥳 Your videos always make me so happy! I’m so glad that I found your channel! Your videos are the highlight of my week and you inspire me soooooo sooo much!🫶🏻You are the one that made me find my decore style and made me not do as everybody else just because it’s trendy! Thanks too you, I now LOVE vintage things and the small details in things! I hope you know how amazing you are! ❤️Keep being yourself! We love you!

[@redraven7948]

WELL SAID!! 💜

[@vickicone6355]

Love how the simplest things (a.k.a fruit picker) brings you so much JOY! Good Job Romeo 😊

[@jasmineteehee3612]

Happy birthday Macenna, how sweet is Romeo, he is a keeper as we brits say! Big hug to you on your special day.

[@dianebenavente513]

Juice your lemons. Freeze the juice In lemon trays. Then you can put a cube in your water. Happy Birthday!

[@justineallen6071]

For the frames- liquid latex moulding, is to make really detailed missing pieces from the frames. Saw on Chateau de la Ferte-youtube channel. She used this to replace moulding in her salon.

[@malindawoodring881]

I love the little French jam pots and crockery!

[@cgrayson3519]

shoulda bought that cute little clock, perfect little moody moment for on top of the rich brown fire place. love everything you do❤

[@m.k.278]

MaCenna, every French home I have ever been in has a large mirror over the fireplace. You know the kind, brass/gold frame with rounded corners on the top. Start hunting, your living room is screaming for one!!

[@Kujawa_Powa]

I feel like that black and stone clock would look SO good in the room you just redid!!! Put it on the mantle or your vintage long desk table thing!

[@lauramitchell6725]

I know,when she was saying “I don’t know where I would put it”, I was thinking,isn’t it a mantle clock? So maybe……..the mantle? 🤣😅😂

[@ViThuyNguyen]

🎂 Happy Birthday, MaCenna!

[@MKYang10]

I think the extra seat is a perfect lounge chair for a bedroom. Crazy idea but I wonder if you could build a detachable wooden frame with arms to give it a new look.

[@torridallavilla5048]

The two matching Chairs look so much better!!!

[@sophm08]

Happy Birthday! 😊 it's so amazing to see you pick up the Keiller's Dundee marmalade jars. Dundee is only a 30-minute drive from my hometown. It's meant to happen with these things, but it's still so strange seeing you with a bit of Scottish history so close to me, all the way over there. Amazing ❤

[@Beruthiel45]

I'm from Newcastle upon Tyne and have lived in Alberta Canada since 1967. I recognised the marmalade pots immediately and it's nice that those travelled so far from home. 😊💕

[@terrigodfrey8260]

Love the marmalade stone jars!

[@TLCinCA]

The marmalade jars are from Scotland. My husband is from Dundee.

[@janicajosef-espiritu7763]

Happy birthday! The view from your office nook is so beautiful! And your idea adding a little reading nook there is perfect! 💟

[@marywest2896]

put your desk over at the far window where the chair is now. that will free up the other 2 windows for your chair, have the back facing into the room, you can see out all three windows...

[@reneezubaty7926]

Love this vlog MaCenna. So happy for you!

[@marcelladominguez8787]

Happy birthday. I loved how Kinsley thought the lemon 🍋 was a ball. So cute 🥰 I need a fruit picker for my mom’s pear tree.

[@lynnsalberg5647]

I’ll put the candle snuffer out too because I think they look so charming. However, I use the straight piece to turn down the wick and pull it back up so my candles don’t smoke when I blow them out it works out really well. They often come for sale in a sec with the snuffer. I highly recommend !

[@sophiabarnes5086]

Happy belated Birthday wishes! May this coming year bring you many blessings!

[@polinakas9762]

Happy birthday 🎂 wishing you all the best in life 😊 thank you for inspiring me, blessings your way ❤😊

[@FisherOfMothers_Alyssa]

I saw the fruit picker when you were talking about your desk and thought “oh that’s awesome she can get her lemons now!” And then you were just as excited about it 🤣

[@gypsyrhodescovers]

I'm so glad you had an awesome Birthday! I think you may have some Imperial Candlewick tumblers from that Estate sale. They are so cute!

[@loveautumnbreeze]

Happy Birthday MaCenna!!! 🎉🥳

[@daisygutierrez8601]

Happy Birthday ! Heres a hint for you pic with missing edga... Use clay to make a mold of the edge from a good part of frame. Then pour plaster of paris . Before the clay hardens you should be able to pop out the plaster . Let it dry then glue it to you missing spot ..paint it ..your good at matching ..and tada. Your done. . Hope this helps you . ❤

[@paulinasamayoa9542]

Happy Birthday Belle!!! I just love how you get excited by the little things just as much as you get excited by the big ones!!! big hug from Guatemala!

New vloooog! 😍🫶🏻 Belated happy birthday, MaCenna! 😊

Omggggg this mimosa eggs yellow plate in the background I’m looking for one of this for so long ! Thank you so much for your videos, I love taking my coffee with you in the morning, it is like meeting an old friend 😊
