[@madirr6287]

Every time me and my friend go thrifting we’re constantly saying “MaCenna would love it here, MaCenna would so buy that, that piece looks like something MaCenna would like.” We both love you and your energy!

[@xomacennavlogs]

HHaha I love that!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@marycelalopez]

OMG SAME !!!! Except it’s only me and my husband asks “who’s MaCenna? Oh yeah! Your KZbin friend!” 😂😂😂

[@melaniec8650]

Same! I feel like I unconsciously look for things macenna would like haha.

[@maureenrowlands9245]

Me too!

[@xomaddie3255]

Omg same!!!!! I saw these pretty wine glasses yesterday, and youuuu would of loooved them!!

[@serenapallan4166]

Could you talk more about the outside and landscaping of the cottage in one of your videos? By the way, I look forward to watching your updates every week!

[@xomacennavlogs]

I actually haven’t planned much for the outdoors as we need to finish the inside and exterior of the house but I’m sooooo excited for when we get there too!! 🥰 🌱 🌳

[@HannahMakesItRain]

@@xomacennavlogs you should deff plant more fruit trees if you add anymore trees! Not sure if cherries do well in your climate. But the more fruit trees…. If u don’t pick them then the more rotten fruit on the ground haha which kinda works as fertilizer and it doesn’t really smell but it’s not fun to walk in haha but picking fruit off my families trees is such a fun memory of mine! And sending cottage guests home with fruit from the property would be cute once they’re big enough! ✨✨ loving these vids so much!

[@jayleekay8788]

Literally watching this video as I paint and renovate my house! You’ve given me the inspiration and confidence to tackle what I can on my OWN! I’ve never been more proud of myself and my house has never felt more like ✨me✨thank you, MaCenna ♥️

[@xomacennavlogs]

Omg YAY!!!! That makes me so so happy!! So proud of you 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘

[@sunny121185]

It’s amazing how you handle editing, filming and building a house all by yourself😱🤩👌🏻. I have soooo much respect for you beautiful person🙏🏻.

[@hippocket31]

I love seeing you use cutouts on a floorplan. I'm not an interior designer, I'm a theatre director. I use this method designing play sets and planning my stage blocking. It works and is so much fun. Keep keepin' on, Macenna, you're lookin' good.

[@CatNevery]

I lost my mom 6 years ago just before my 21st birthday and we had the same relationship that you have with your mom. We were very close and would go thrifting, explore new towns, go for lunch etc. She was my best friend and it brings me so much comfort and joy to see that again in your videos ❤️

[@veronicahartman1751]

Cathy, I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet mother. I pray someone comes in your life that you can share special times with them. I have a 25 year old daughter and we enjoy these adventures too. Blessings to you and your family. 🙏🌷💛

[@CatNevery]

@@veronicahartman1751 thank you ❤️

[@effie_ga3678]

Hey,girl! I just wanted to let you know how refreshing, empowering and comforting you and your content are during this torment we are suffering here in Greece because of the wild fires🔥Thank you for being a beacon of hope even though we are hundreds of miles apart❤

[@loissaedder2214]

Stay safe in Greece. It looks scary. Hi from Australia.

[@marroosh]

The chase is spelled as chaise and you pronounce is as shahz😀 L-shapes are a pain with coffee tables, I have the same issue with mine and would love to change it but it’s a sofa bed and I live in a studio. Still, an IKEA visit might be in the near future… Might find a nice 2 seat sofa bed😀

[@sarahkamarudin5041]

I love watching your vlogs so much, it's so relaxing. And the amount of times I've choked on water- laughing at you and your mom, you guys are hilarious. "COUCH >:(" hahahaa. You have really saved me from falling into another depression. Thank you for always making my day. Love you!

[@laurahart]

I am loving watching the process of this house!!

[@shysonnet]

That couch would fit so well in your cottage aesthetic!! I would search for the term “English rolled arm sofa/couch” to find more options in a similar style if you want to buy more for the guest cottages in a different size 🥰

[@dillonthomson3889]

Have you checked out the “Belgian classic rolled arm sofa” from Restoration hardware? It’s a similar shape but production time is way less.

[@evae.9111]

You are so right!!

[@GodessSiri]

MaCenna your style is not my style but I love how well you know your own style and how beautifully all the things you choose fit together. That light for over the island is gorgeous. My immediate thought when you showed us that cushion that you like the print of is that it has the hints of yellow/gold like the dishes you're looking for.

[@janice5218]

I got wallpaper vibe.

[@Joliepinkyswear1]

I love watching you plan and reno your home. You are such a hard worker with the best disposition. If you ever are looking for something lighter to film though, I wonder if you could give us a quick tour of your Mom's art. I absolutely love the abstract that was behind you in the kitchen and I'd love to see more.

[@hannahoros]

I never clicked on a video so fast! Yayyyy for a new vid!

[@sarahloufisher]

I spent today sanding the floors in my 200 year old cottage myself… I think you’re influencing my life. 😂

[@chloeblair5368]

Chase? Chaise. Pronounced "shez".

[@layla2145]

The house is already looking so good! I can’t wait to see the couch!🤍

[@annh.]

I have a Lee Industries denim slipcovered couch, chair and ottoman I bought in 2001. I replaced the couch slipcover 3 or 4 years ago. I could have bought a new couch for what the new slipcover cost. All that to say that Lee Industries couches are great. They are made in North Carolina.

[@nicoleb0425]

“Just the COUCH!” made me LOL so much! 🤣

[@xomacennavlogs]

Hahah 😂😂😂

[@liannebiggar1557]

Is “chase” how you say it down there?! Here in Canada I have never heard that before. We definitely go with the French chaise “shez” pronunciation

[@nw8204]

"Those came from, like Walmart" 😆 🤣 I will never tire of the mother daughter vlogs!

[@kansasgirl8371]

Love the sofa! (BTW, Your "chase" is a chaise and is pronounced "shez" You can find the pronunciation on KZbin.) Your chaise was a steal and will look great in your cottage.

[@sashaklippert]

Definitely made me giggle every time she said it “chase” lol

[@Anna-pd6dc]

It's just a dialect thing. She's saying it correctly for her home area.

[@annh.]

I'm not fancy. I call it a "chase" too. 😁

[@sashaklippert]

@@Anna-pd6dc chaise is a French word coming from chaise longue or "long chair” so I’m sure she’s saying how people in her area do but the correct pronunciation is “shez” I didn’t mean it as a criticism I thought it was cute

[@Anna-pd6dc]

@@sashaklippert I know but it's been adopted into english so I don't think it's fair so say the french pronunciation is "correct". She's not speaking french when she says "chaise", she's using a name that has it's origin in french. Just like other words we use (cul de sac, aficionado, champagne etc) or that french speakers use from english (weekend, brainstorming, planning, etc).

[@nykdanu]

FYI google how to say Chaise

[@missadorkablekitty]

You should use Google lens if you don't already to find the items you are looking for. You might be able to find that lamp

[@gracenleejones]

i never see brass candle holders that are under $10 a piece for literally the same ones you buy for $.50!

[@maureenrowlands9245]

I love you MaCenna every time you say 'chase' for the chaise I cringe, I'm not sure if everyone in USA pronounces it like that but I have always known it to be pronounced 'shays' it's a french word, I love the couch you were looking at 😍

[@jacquineill9868]

I was wondering if anyone else was thinking this. Screaming it’s pronounced shay’s 🤦🏽‍♀️ but that couch 😍😍😍

[@signeknudsen8513]

I have never heard it pronounced chase as MaCenna does.

[@maureenrowlands9245]

@@signeknudsen8513 I have heard other American KZbinrs pronounce it chase, perhaps it's just their habit.

[@_littlestar_]

MaCenna you should use google images when looking up anything online !!

[@Britbabe53]

It's a Chaise pronounced like shaze :)

[@Randis-vv5hg]

You and your mom are so cute together! I look forward to your videos each week. I believe your sage green lounge is a “chaise” lounge, not “chase”.

[@kristinewells961]

I love how you and your mom are desperately trying to not stop and shop even though you’re starving for food!🤣

[@carolschlosser2716]

MaCenna please read the ingredients on the Coffee Mate you use. See if Thrive has an alternative.

[@tarahbutler2169]

That is my couch!! Got 3 seat! If so comfortable, moves easily. Covers wash great. Order it.

[@tina_marie12]

Haha have I been saying chaise lounge wrong all my life?? I always thought it was pronounced like “shayz” haha anyways so excited to see everything come together 🤗🤗🤗

[@caxxie1]

No, you had it right!

[@rebeccamaracle2878]

Maybe it's because I live near a French-speaking area, but I've only ever heard it pronounced "SHEZ". So hearing "CHASE" all the time was really jarring!

[@annec9859]

So agree with you. It's actually spelled "chaise". Just stumbled across her videos and impressed how she gets so hands on the tools. It's what I used to do years ago when I was younger and fitter.

[@KimberlyDurrMusic]

🌓Hey loves. Hope everyone is doing fantastic. Love this vlog, I brought a chair like the one you found at the thrift store, my is not a rocking chair but it folds up the same and it’s gorgeous, it even has a tag on it, saying that it’s illegal to remove the tag. I only paid $5.00, they clearly didn’t know what they had, but I did. I use it in my recording studio at home. It’s amazing. Love the couch. I need to check their website out. Thanks for that MaCenna, lol🤣 you and your mom are responsible for some my shopping sprees. Love y’all and thanks for another amazing video. 😘🤣🥰🦋

[@edmeza9053]

It’s a chaise not chase 😂love your vlogs

[@heidigresh2743]

You could have a coffee table that is really a large ottoman. Use beautiful wooden trays for entertainment or pull it up to the sofa for the chaise experience.

[@shibalady206]

I feel weird about putting feet where food might go, even if it's on a tray. I know most feet will be shoeless, but it's still odd.

[@michaelgeisert289]

Please MaCenna, it is chaise not chase. Love your Cabin!!

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

I love the fabric on the pillow and some of the iron beds and the way they are decorated I WANT ONE!!!!! I loved the look of the couch and the way you and your Mom looked so comfy.

[@rudycorrea-camilo6631]

You're definitely a breath of fresh air! Love watching every episode! Love the chemistry between your mom and you! Bless your soul !❤❤

[@TheOneAndOnlyRRR]

Does anyone know the maker or website for that sofa? I thought she said Lee but I couldn't find it.

[@christianelila3374]

I also wanna know!

[@pinacolada111]

lol, your mom is right, your brother is cute... and handsome. :D

[@jeans3190]

That couch is also at Mitchell Gold Bob Williams, Its called the London Sofa. The quality is amazing. I am obsessed with that sofa.

[@NRoth-wq1cd]

I LOVE your videos. Girl, find a yoga studio and take an hour. I find it help shut off my brain. (I resonate so hard with the constant thought of, “man! I could do this and this and this…”)

[@iont8172]

Well your brother IS cute!!! 😜

[@UnknownCreaturegr]

Your brother is HOT!

[@Moms1958]

Lol I never started drinking coffee until I had children ! I luv thrift shopping and it’s good to take a day off from everything.

[@emilybeers5016]

Could you put the chase on the other side of the couch? And then not have the two chairs?

[@janice5218]

I’d say avoid extra on sofa instead have a more functional ottoman that can double as a coffee table w a tray or be shared or by addition seating.

[@rosalieann100]

Interior Define has the EXACT same couch, and you can customize, fabric, color, seat depth, down fil, and feet.

[@lynvoyager5976]

Just checked out Lee Industries fabrics online and fell in love with Bergdorf Moss. Not sure if you like velvet but it is heavy duty! Love the couch, certainly unique.

[@janice5218]

Velvet is a great choice.

[@susan-thegracefullilymarke622]

Omg, your mother is right! Your brother is cute. He looks like that actor Thomas Jane, he played The Punisher in the movie. Or actor Aaron Eckhart.

[@christyflores1459]

I was just in Fredericksburg in June, but I didn’t stop by Hicks. Ugh! I gotta go soon! Love that place!

[@shibalady206]

Darn you, MaCenna! Now I'm trolling stores in my area for couches! Incidentally, I found a perfect one that can be made into a sectional (I don't know how our family survived without sectionals in our lives), so I'm visiting my Lee Industries local dealer to get pricing this weekend. They make really cute stuff! My wallet (and my husband) are now gently weeping in the corner ... lol

[@connieh.4689]

Off topic...I want to meet your moms lovebird. He/she is always chatting in the background 😁

[@angelajohnson9659]

I absolutely love all of your videos, but the ones with your mom touch my heart! My mom and I dreamed of having a Vintage Market together, and at every chance would go thrifting to find future stock. It was always an entire day. Shopping, lunch, and coffees for the drive home. March 2019 she suddenly passed away, and now I continue to pursue this dream with out her. Your videos remind me of the relationship we had, and always give me focus and grace to achieve in her memory. Thank you!

[@lydon1200]

Get an Architecture program. (Like Home Designer Architectural ) You can do it on the computer and it will look exactly like real life. It's what we did when we built our house. It saved us from making so many mistakes.

[@mariamercado6580]

Hi girl! I love your designs. Very inspirational. But..We're in Texas!!! It's hot and so no sweaters.

[@LauraMoreno-te9xv]

Okay if you find the light fixtures I KNOW you will tell us where. Right?? Undergoing our own renovations and lighting is coming up. Lol and love that for the dining room.

[@asmayousef335]

MaCenna, I’m friends with you but I’m a fan to ur MOM😭😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mandiekins316]

Omg what is that couch?!?! We are about to restore a 1895 farmhouse and we NEED THAT

[@pamkowal7464]

I am having SUCH a hard time finding a couch I like. I want a three seater with box cushions (so I can rotate them for even wear) that are at least 5 inches thick with high density, firm foam, track arms, attached back cushions (I like to take naps on the couch and a two cushion couch would cause my bum to end up between the two cushion edges), thin legs so I can vacuum under the couch without having to move it, a kiln dried hardwood frame that is screwed, not glued, and a style that doesn’t look too formal. Right now if have a leather Bennett sofa with rolled arms from Ethan Allen and it has lasted a really long time but I’m ready for a change. I also can’t figure out what color to go with because gray has been around for such a long time already I’m afraid the color palette trends will be changing so I, but I gave a black cat and need something that won’t show fur. I am willing to spend around $3000 to get a quality couch. Help!!!

[@lindataylor1127]

I eat at Worner's all the time when I visit Fredericksburg! Yummy!

[@BrwnEydGrl878]

Those plates are actually super collector! They’re expensive! It’s the homestead collection or something? We have some that we inherited from Taylor’s grandparents when we bought their old house and I don’t love them but they mean a lot to him so we use them.

[@darlenefoster3379]

I live in Dallas, I give you major props for wearing that top in August...I was hot just watching you in it.

[@Lorjarca]

Is it chase or chaise?

[@SaraPontier]

WHERE CAN I FIND THE COUCH ONLINE??? I LOVE IT!!!

[@aasthamahajan7274]

Can someone please tell which brand the couch is from ?🥺

[@jeanninef2110]

love that couch too!!! I actually do like the blush colour though! But it will be stunning in a natural linen colour....or a light tan! You always make me want to have a latté!!! LOL!

[@anitan5124]

"$32 for a set of 8?! *scowl* they're from Walmart..." 🤣 yall are hilarious!

[@blakemoon2123]

Love you, but I’m so bothered by the turtle neck in August… in Texas… 🥵

[@janice5218]

Yummy food & furniture! Sad you can’t bring fabric home but yes to paint chips & if you can floor stain. That was my biggie We have 100 yr old heart of pine so there were colors that just were a no. Happy w Q&A it gave me a more patient heart.

[@aprilb1412]

Highlight of my day when Macenna has a new video up! You and Elizabeth Olsen could be twins ☺

[@SuperFlower1978]

MaCenna could you do a walk around your Mama's house with your camera, her house looks beautiful but we only get to see snippets of it. Would Mama bear let you? x

[@farmers-daughter2000]

Very nice couch looks right for your period house. 6 months. I waited for nearly that for my bedroom furniture.

[@colette2838]

okay this might sound weird but what about chocolate brown for the couch?? maybe that sounds strange but hear me out, with all of the neutrals it could be a bit more timeless than the dark gray... maybe?! I always love whatever you pick but I just wanted to throw that in there!

[@barbaracollignon5365]

Ikea sails a couch which has a quasi similar shape with the legs and the arms . It s name is stocksund .But the back seat is made with two removal cushions.. the choice of the fabric is limited but you can have it in loose cover so that you can wash the loose cover stained by pets or there humans ...the Bemz company are doing new loose cover for Ikea sofa and Ikea chairs even for old models which are no more in sail and I love the idea to be able to Reno your coach for the half price of a new one especially when you love your hold couch. And it's better for the planet keeping re-using your belongings like your own thrifts!

[@rneustel388]

I think that style is called an English rolled arm sofa, isn’t it? Very appropriate for your cottage.

[@laureneharrison8897]

That couch is beautiful & I’m sure you’ll pick the perfect fabric for it too. Definitely the couch with 2 smaller chairs so you have good ‘flow.’ Everything will come together as you have excellent taste & style! 😊👍🏻

[@beatricemckisset1128]

I really love you and your mom bond so beautiful.Please continue to do what you love take time for you. I can't wait for the next vlogs as well as your the process of your home.

[@laurabianchini8964]

Love your work. It may be a good idea to buy that couch just the way it is, considering the price. Then deliver it to the best upholsterer you can find in the area with your favorite fabric. It may turn out cheaper and faster realization. According to a prior estimation of the cost, of course. Thanks for sharing your beautiful project. Blessings.

[@francinesexton8266]

Please, we don't need to see you wake up from bed. Get up, put your make up on without us having to view you doing so, then film. Come on.

[@amandajackson6714]

Hi there, have I missed a video of you buying that thrifted chase for $45🙄?

[@01baia]

A sofa table behind your couch would give you more room on either side. I totally love sofa tables - but I know not everyone likes them.

[@marciamellow1211]

Lee couches...are the best. I have custom Lee..❤ That flea market...to die for!

[@amydodard9473]

How are you not linking this beautiful couch!!!!??

[@mariaeugeniarodriguez3616]

I love your mamy! She's adorable! By the way I did like to much the coach.

[@KatiesLifeAdventure]

I love that couch shape it will be gorgeous in your cottage. That chair is almost identical to the IKEA stocksund chair and theirs is a bit smaller.

[@anav7774]

Please put on your security belt even though you are not driving at that time...the mom that is in me and that suffered a car accident 3 years ago is speaking 😉.... and it is not the first time, Macenna .... greetings from Spain. Stay safe!!!

[@kristinannecorcega5489]

she tellin' her mama, no, don't do it! (when entering the store, before eating lunch) --- ain't she and her mom cute? haha!

[@denisekoenig9479]

My brother is deceased but was 12 yrs older than me and my sis s 10 yrs older than me. How was it growing up with him being so much older?

[@kimloverenee]

Why not do a chase with one chair on the left side? Awkward coffee table problem solved!

[@MaritHaugland-y2p]

Omg!!! Your sweather !! I love it!! Where is it from?

Cleaning tip for your hat. Run it in the top drawer of your dishwasher. Comes out great.

I just saw a bunch of cleaning hacks and they washed baseball caps on the top rack of the dishwasher.

My dad used to make me make to scale models of my bedroom furniture before he'd let me rearrange my room growing up. Lol

I thought you had a sister too, you did a makeover room for two sisters and I thought I heard you said nieces. I assumed they were the children of a sister. My bad sorry.

[@kimweihbrecht5604]

OMG that pendant light is gorgeous!! Can you post a link?

[@KelKelray25]

Oh wow I also have an older brother who’s about 10.5 years older!

[@shasha26able]

or how about a chaise and 1 of the bigger chair's on an angel and s corner table between the short side of the chaise and Angled chair? and thank you for the cut out idea to play around brilliant!
