starting our KITCHEN MAKEOVER & weathering the storm! | XO, MaCenna Vlogs

[@krickette5569]

Just asked my hubby if I could paint our cabinets a dark Aubergine and he said, "Whatever you want." I love that man. Not gonna paint my cabinets any time soon, but I could if I wanted!

[@Sarai0Mia]

So funny … my man is the same ….. also…. Yes = might maybe do it one day ….. however if he said no you can guarantee I’m planning and doing it asap … 😂 no is like a red flag to a bull

[@Leavemealone441]

I do the same with my husband. Just out of the blue ask him “can I do/get x or y”, and he’s always like “sure, babe, whatever you want”. Then I don’t do it or get it and a few weeks later he asks me if I bought what I wanted, I say “no, I’m still considering it” and the cycle repeats lol.

[@ZeljanaMiljevic-we1kc]

Why do you feel the need to ask? ....

[@samirabechara-ishaq4841]

​@@ZeljanaMiljevic-we1kcthey both live in their home.. I ask my husband his opinion on permanent changes even if I know he doesn't care just out of respect for the fact that it's not just my space and he also has to look at it 😊

[@rosehughes599]

As a Brit, I insist if you boil water in it, it's a kettle. If you brew tea in it, it's a teapot 😊

[@breem2999]

I think some Americans do get confused about this (I am also American). I was hosting a game night where we needed a teapot as an accessory. I told the guests I didn't have a teapot so I asked someone to bring one. They brought a kettle, which I did have, lol. I guess technically you can just stick a few teabags or diffusers into the kettle and do it that way?

[@rebeccagibson9095]

@@breem2999 Nope. Blasphemy. Keep the tea bags out of the kettle. 🤣

[@bmw8913]

As an American, I trust your expertise. The only thing we know about to tea is to throw it in the ocean 😆😆

@@bmw8913 pretty sure this is how the war was started between us haha.

[@christinarabina2926]

Fellow Brit here! I agree

[@Signe-p3m]

A tea pot is what you make tea in. It is usually porcelain. What you heat the water in is a tea KETTLE. Just fyi

[@gerridagostino6726]

Wrap the inside of the cabinets with saran wrap and paint tape, that’s what I do easy Peezy just a suggestion I love your show a podcast!

[@kaylanorman9967]

i also wanted wood cabinets/cupboards for kitchen. still love it so much; would never go back in time and change. ever so so beautiful. underrated choice for kitchens i feel 😊 glad you did moody for cabinets now you're sticking to what we know and love from you🎉

[@deniseborchardt4491]

I wanted to say that your eyes look extra pretty in this video-they really popped with your tops. I am so excited to see updates in both houses. I can't wait to see how the cabinets turn out. Like you said, you won't know unless you try. That tea kettle is gorgeous and I adore that sweet little bird on top! I hope you are feeling better!

[@pizzakrydder2515]

Pretty eye makeup as well.

[@sarahguernsey4590]

Noticed that too!!

[@marilynbrown2297]

That tea pot is to die for!!!!! It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

[@jenmalfoy215]

I love how unwell you were with those handles, because girl SAME! It’s such a small thing, but once my brain fixates on it I need to change it. So far it looks amazing though!

[@caroledwards1182]

I'm happy to hear you weren't effected too much by the storm. Looking forward to seeing your new cabinet color. For anyone that's interested, What you put on the stove to boil water in is called a kettle, what you serve the tea in is the tea pot.

[@debrabray8855]

9 months!! Already? Ohmygoodness, that flew by! But the teapot.....it's the most beautiful thing ever! Can't wait to see it in the kitchen makeover.

[@livingwithlk]

I'm so excited to see how this kitchen turns out!!

[@lynnehughes3884]

I was going to say the same.

What is a kettle for ❤️

[@meike6941]

​@@debbiedelahuerta3814to boil the water. After that you put the tea in the pot and pour the water over it.

[@Beruthiel45]

Came to say the same thing. As a Brit I know the difference between a teapot and a kettle. That's one gorgeous kettle, for boiling water. 😊

[@vickinoeske1154]

The McKenzie Childs teapot is luscious. How lovely that will look on your cook top with your newly painted cabinets.

[@beckykueng3017]

I'm so glad the storm wasn't too bad for you guys. Hope Drew didn't have any issues either. I really am looking forward to the kitchen makeover. I LOVE the color you decided on. Glad you are feeling better too. I really like the kitchen floor and the cabinet color will surely bring some "zing" to the whole area.

[@melexanie5403]

We had the inside of our house painted 18mths ago, we got a semi gloss the whole way through. I have kids and pets, and the painter said it will be an easier clean.... he wasn't wrong :)

[@barbarashelton6709]

Love the Tea Pot !! Can't wait to see the new kitchen. So glad your ok from the storm. Thank You for sharing.

The paint color is so pretty!! I’m so relieved to hear you’re ok after the storm! The teapot, omg is it pretty!! On my list to get!

[@abeerali7834]

Seeing Kinsley being walked outside, she’s just too cute of a munchkin ❤ So glad your property survived the storm and hoping for others to recover soon. I love that tea pot and will check about the coating on the inside before I purchase. Looking forward to see your new cabinets!

[@debbiedelahuerta3814]

❤I’m from San Diego. Pacific beach. Weeee. We had rain and wind all day. But no earthquake. So love everything you do. You have inspired me. I’m 69yrs and happily retired. I was just trying to change the knobs on my kitchen cabinets and ran into trouble. I get it when Home Depot think they know. I appreciate all the first time’s you did ❤❤❤❤❤

[@patsyporter5082]

Can’t wait to see the cupboards! Teapot is beautiful! ♥️ Glad you all are well. 😊

[@kellygreathouse5824]

Glad you faired well in the storm and weren’t shaken to badly by the quake. Love the kettle! Can’t wait to hear what it sounds like when it whistles!!!!

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

I don't think it's a whistler...

[@yogaplacee2]

it says on the website its a kettle to boil water in! Im so jealous! it's stunning! I have a hob kettle and it's really boring! love love love this so much

[@stonecottageadventures304]

I used Behr Satin Black PPU26-01 on my front door, shutters, and storage shed. I love the color because it feels more charcoal than stark black. I have had the color for 7 years and totally recommend it.

My brother always lowered the water in his pool before a storm, after one storm overflowed the pool and had a mess.

[@Erin_Davenport]

I’ve been working on my kitchen cabinets for 3+ weeks 😅 Granted, they’re oak so I’m doing grain filler, and I’m changing the hardware so today is bondo…but holy moly MaCenna, you’re QUICK!!! I’m ready to be done and can’t wait to see your transformation and ours, both! 💜🤍

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

This is late in coming. Im in Huntington Beach, Orange County, south of Los Angeles. We had heavy rainfall from sun up until late in the night. Wonderful listening to the rain all day. Back yard was flooded. Yay. 🎉. Beautiful grass.

It was very satisfying seeing inside of your cabinets and how you have those storage organizers to pull out. I need those for my kitchen I’ve been online looking.

[@mikkileon6380]

I love that you’re thinking outside your comfort zone and willing to experiment. You are so right about you’re going to tear these out eventually not terribly far into the future anyway, so why not experiment and be a little daring. Plus like you said, you can always buy another gallon of paint and try another color. I am super excited to see you do your cupboards in that color. You encourage me to go beyond my comfort zone and try different things out, while not being afraid to repaint some thing if it ends up, not being right for me.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hi MaCenna.... With the beautiful lemon trees in your backyard.....you can add some slices to your sink when doing dishes by hand. I really enjoy the smell and usually will squeeze some into my dish towel and clean the sink afterwards.....smells great and removes the funky smell from my drain.

I painted our dining room the darkest purple Benjamin Moore had. Can’t remember the color/# but realized when the sun shown on it that it was ripe Pinot noir (we had a vineyard at the time). I loved it so much I did our winery building the same color…exterior. I thought it looked fabulous.

[@judymcinnis]

Thank you MaCenna, for giving me the confidence to take on the project of refinishing my kitchen cabinets.🌺 I am just about finished painting my kitchen cabinets. In Ontario, Canada we have a hardware chain called Home Hardware and I always use their paint for all my paintings needs. After I finished prepping, priming, and painting the cabinet I made the decision to seal them with Rustoleum 2X clear sealer in satin finish spray. Best decision I have made in a long time. The finish looks so perfect. I can't remember the last time I felt so proud of something I had accomplished on my own.😊

I live in Arizona just south of Las Vegas, and we had a lot of wind and rain. I was pretty surprised since we’re not real close. Must have just been how it came inland. I’m glad you didn’t have any damage. Seeing you walk Kinsley, she looks so tiny. I can’t wait to see the kitchen cabinets finished-that color is amazing! The teapot is exquisite, too. I have some MacKensie-Childs pieces, and I would love to sell them. They’re from the original Courtly Check line. I bought them for my mother, and then they were given back to me. You’re right that they are heirloom pieces, but I don’t have anyone to pass them on to. Feel better soon-

[@ericaromeo6210]

I am so excited about your color scheme here. If I was watching this on the day you actually released it you probably would have realized that that shouting noise was me squealing every time you introduce another piece of the pallet selection. I am so jazzed!
