Girl you did right by telling her I took the dang thing off the wall! Way to stay firm but kind. . Unkind people need the most kindness . Love your sweet feisty spirit.

My mother, an elegant lady, who passed away 2 years ago at 99, always had beautifully decorated homes and she always decorated eclectic French Provençal and earth tones. She ignored trends and went with what she loved and her homes always looked on trend. She had a pair of chairs, almost exactly like your living room ones that she bought in the early 60’s. She had them for decades and they always looked great and never went out of style. My daughter and I have some of her French Provençal pieces in our homes. Her lovely name was Sarafina! 💕

I agree the estate sale was odd. Thinking outside of the box, the salt cellar would look great in your bathroom. It would tie into the blue tiles. You could put dried flowers or functional items in it. I thought the marble lamp was a vase at 1st. Love your finds and your "fly" outfit!

I do the same thing about rude people. Always remember that even if they aren't having a bad day, and they are just rude on purpose, you shouldn't take it personally because they don't even know you. You just happen to be the one in front of them. I always think to myself.. wow, it must really sad to be them, so miserable. I just can't live that way. I love my contented, peaceful life.

Thank you for talking about the bad side of estate sales. I manage an antique shop and we are gearing up to start doing estate sales. It’s super helpful to hear the do’s and don’t’s of running an estate sale. That lady’s attitude was unacceptable.

My Grandma has three of the white trays. She has one in her bedroom with her perfume on it, another in her bathroom with her face cream, lipstick, sunscreen, etc. the smallest one She uses for hand soap. I remember loving them as a little girl, and she still has them. 😊

Meeee toooooo!!

I just got a salt cellar this weekend too! They would originally have a wooden lid (maybe you could make one!) and they are always so pricey so you still got a deal!

If they don't want to price everything before hand, keep the little price circles in hand and when someone asks, quote, and then write it down on the sticker and stick it to the item. If they are worried about sticker switching, then put like Blu Salt or whatever the item is in short hand.

I think that painting would be great for a spooky DIY. I've seen someone put a purple-ish gouache wash on a painting to darken it up and make it look like night time. Then turn the lady into a ghost, perfect Halloween decor!

Put the salt (Epson salt holder into the Bathroom as it's a Great Opportunity to Hold your Bath Salts and make those tiles work Together visually >>> but at the Dollar store they have Lavender Epson salts by the bag which is Wonderful to store in there by the tub❤)

That marble lamp is just gorgeous! Put a colour changing bulb in it! Then, it could help set the mood in the room 😊

Also: yes yes yes to ghost painting! My friends & I had a super fun, chill ghost painting night with thrifted prints (I'm a vintage seller, so I had tons). Soooo much fun, and easy even though I'm not very artistic - I bet yours would be gorgeous!!

Wow, some people can be so rude. Long gone are the days when the customer is always right. I loved that painting its beautiful the way it is. Thanks for sharing.

your mom would have gone ballistic with that lady

The blue looks so good with your dark rich colors in the kitchen, love that salt piece!

One of those ceramic frames would look great on the sink in your guest bath with a decorative soap bar and lotion for guests. Love the vintage salt holder. Also, Kinsley….I saw you under that table! 😮

I so related to your reaction to the estate sale experience & your encounter with the Customer Service representative (??!!ha-ha). Some people really need to reevaluate their career or employment choices. It sounded to me like you handled it like a real trooper, kudos to you. Companies that run estate sales are representing families and their belongings and owe it to the family (the seller) and the customer (the buyer) to present themselves in a professional manner and honor the prices originally quoted if they are going to randomly quote monetary values to items. Always enjoy watching your channels because you present yourself in a thoughtful, organized, professional manner and always convey a great sense of humor regarding your adventures or misadventures. Thanks Macenna

The marble lamp needs to be an umbrella holder. Love the salt holder. So cool and diffrent.

Hey MaCenna, that estate sale looked pretty amazing! I’m sorry that they were grumpy. that really does affect the experience. I love that salt dish that you found it would look cool if you’re not using it for salt anyway hanging in your bathroom and put a plant in it that trails out and you wouldn’t see the word salt but you would see the blue like your tiles. Your outfit was pretty rad I graduated in the 80s so you were definitely dressed on point.

MaCenna I think you definitely need a dedicated area for your workshop! You do so many projects and it would just make sense to find some space where you can have work tables set up more permanently! Idk what kind of space you have inside or outside for something like that but I really think it would be great for you!!

Hi Macenna, you know if not putting it in your kitchen you could put your salt holder in a bathroom with a bathtub for the bathsalt if you are into popping some blue that reminds you of Paris....xoxoxo

I 100% agree with you.. if people don't like working with the public, regardless of where it may be, then they really need to find a job that they don't work work the public.. simple as that! Yes she may have been having A bad day but that's not anyone's fault so she really should have been nicer and maybe her day wolf have gotten better😉😊 You did get some cute pieces tho!

😂Romeo's out of town and MaCenna just watched a scary movie....and went home to an empty house. Poor Kinsley had all the guard duties for a whole weekend. Every bump, every creak, every knock on the door...LOL It's Halloween time y'all 😂

MaCenna watching Gilmore Girls! My fandoms are colliding! ☕️

Those ceramic white "frame" trays would also make a really cute palette for painting!

AB Fab sweetie darling! lol We just finished an estate sale for a lady that is 104. The owner of the sale company started in Mar and brought me in on Apr 2nd. It was a huge undertaking with 3 floors and a double garage filled with amazing items. We clean and sort items, stage them and price each item. the sale was three weeks ago and we fit in two garage sales in Aug. Still lots of incredible things left that will be going into an online auction. There is no excuse for rudeness to customers. Believe me sometimes it's hard to bite your tongue but you just do it! You are there to help sell these items and should be respectful of the customer and the owner(s) of the estate. I can see that beautiful salt box with your rolling pins and trays on the wall in the kitchen. Maybe a pillar candle or something similar in it. Plus your idea of making the lamp into a vase is great, silks or dried flowers or an umbrella stand would be awesome as well. Forsythia in the spring is always so cheerful. Thanks again for all you hard work!

Even though the estate sale was different, I’m glad you purchased your treasures. Loved them. There were a lot of treasures in that sale.

MaCenna, your 80s track outfit was totally rad! And I absolutely loved the movie 'Totally Killer' too. It brought back all those awesome 80s vibes. 🕺🎬👏

MaCenna - you are always so positive - it is hard to come up against grumpy people. It is okay to process it with us.

5:30am here in South Australia 🇦🇺 Morning coffee with Macenna best start to my day 😊 xx

My husband and i did the thrift store painting spooky makeover. We really loved doing it, so much fun actually and we had a lot of laughs. Also, they turned out so sweet. Neither of us have ever painted still this was new to us both. He said he'd like to do this every year now, if that says anything. 😂❤️

That marble lamp looks like a candle on a pedestal. It will look so pretty lit up! Love the 80s outfit!❤

I love how your pumpkins turn out !! So cute 🥰

I thought that painting looked like you from behind, with the long hair and the bow. I wouldn’t paint over that particular painting just for that reason alone. It also kind of reminded me a little bit of your fall animations at the beginning of your videos.

Thanks for continuing to be so positive and not let the little things ruin your day. Glad you had fun 😊 instead.

I really loved that “spooky” art you got, it’s a bummer they were so rude. Also, your 80s track suit was so cute! 😊

Hi MaCenna! The wooden carved piece would look nice above the archway or glued on the middle of fireplace mantle w a golden paint touch up on the details. This will give it a more detailed classy look. I have one above my door and it looks great. I would use the marble piece as a base w beautiful flowers from your Secret Garden!

Yes! Definitely want to see the painting with the girl transformed into a ghost. I like the trend but I’d LOVE to see you put your spin on it. ❤❤

You should hang that salt thing outside and put a plant that hangs over it and is very droopy. Like an ivy or a pathos. It would look so cute! And it would be a neat way to bring some green up onto your house in the back yard!

I would of loved to see your mom at that estate sale!! She would give it to that lady in a nice southern way. But the lady would of got the point!! I was happy that you were able to find some things❤

GILMORE GIRLS IS MY JAM!! If I could dream up any place to live, it would be in Stars Hollow!!🖤 --And with the Estate Sale woman, I love how you just chalked it up to a bad day and didn't let it ruin the rest of yours!! How cute is that 80's outfit?!🕺😅Adorable.💗

Thank you for sharing your project-aftermath-mess. It's so relatable ❤😂

I am curious to know, when you are finishing the house in Texas. I do miss this whole "create a new old house by myself" vibe. That courage to do big craftsmen work inspired me a lot. And I want to see that finished 😅

My mom has the same salt container!! She got it from portugal (we’re from Brazil) in the 80’s and it’s still in use here!

For the solid marble lamp, I would take the electrical outlet out, put it by the door and use it as an umbrella stand

I was going to suggest you hang the salt dish in your newly decorated bathroom with bath salts in it but I guess that doesn't make sense because there's no bath. Personally I would still hang it in there with flowers or a plant in it.

So cute! The salt piece could go in the bathroom for BATH SALT or shower steamers 🤗 It would be cute in there and smell nice too

100X YES to the ghost art trend!!!

❤ Kingsley, any plans of a costume for her? So cute.

Great as a pillar candle holder too! Love your stuff!

Did I see some Fontanini nativity pieces at the estate sale? They are such an incredible collection to have especially for anyone interested in Italian culture. Chateau Diaries made an incredible vlog at the Fontanini factory for one of her Christmas advent episodes and I've become obsessed

MaCenna!!! I just had a great idea for that decorative moulding you found at the estate sale!!! You could cast it to make a mold of it , like a silicone mold or something and then you could create copies of that piece (maybe out of plaster?) and then paint them to match the wall color and use the copies on the archways! Since you only have 1, if you like it enough for that placement, you could just replicate it that way to get enough for each archway! You may also be able to use the same sort of idea by buying molds used for other crafts in the sort of ornate shapes you like (I assume you can find molds of some kind online. Even fancy cake tins or whatever) and find other shapes you like to add to the arch or use instead if you’re finding it hard to source the decorative trim itself. Just a thought I had I thought might be useful to you!

Definitely do the ghostie picture...it would be fab!! I'm looking for one for ages...that one is perfectly spooky 😉

Looks like a fun day, MaCenna! Hope you had fun at the movie with your friend. You're so smart! Most of us would have turned on our heel and walked away at that estate sale. Especially when the price went from $2 to $15 and then they acted like you were robbng them to lower it to $10!! But you were wise and knew leaving would only be hurting yourself - they wouldn't care at all. So you got the things you wanted at what you considered a fair price. There's an old expression you may know - Don't cut your nose off to spite your face. Whether you've heard it or not, you certainly are clever enough to understand the principle and practice it! Well done. Love the sweet salt cellar ( though they really did gouge you - it's missing its wooden lid that would have been attached at the back and lifted at the front). I'm actually a fan of the blue and white, though. It would be pretty with a small plant in it and ivy spilling down and out. Or, if you plan to fit it in your kitchen somewhere, an aloe plant for cuts and burnt fingers. It could also be a hanging holder for a small pad of paper and some pens, maybe even a small pair of scissors. The marble lamp is pretty and if you choose to use it as a vase for now, I wouldn't fill in the hole for the wiring. I'd remove and keep the lamp parts and either only use dried or artificial plants/flowers or find something like a glass vase or plastic sleeve that fits well in there. You never know when you might want it to be a lamp again. It would be really captivating as a lamp with a soft glow. Love the frame and agree you should use it with added ghosts to decorate your living room for the season. The girl actually looks a bit like you with her long, dark hair. Wish you had also grabbed the bigger frame in the back at 10:26. Or both! The one in the back is gorgeous and more your style (though older than what you usually gravitate toward), but the little one would be cute in a child's room. It's definitely more cottagey and actually fits the timeframe of the cottage in Texas. Thanks for taking us along for the day. I thoroughly enjoyed it! 🤎💛🍂🎃🍁🎃🍂💛🤎

It’s so true that other people’s bad moods can really affect yours. Kudos to you for keeping high spirits even after that negative experience! ❤

Looks like a fun night at the cemetary 😮 I would use that ceramic salt container in the bathroom to hold the curling iron or hair accessories or even rolled washcloths.

When I saw the art with the girl in your estate sale footage I thought the same thing about the videos adding the ghosts and how cute that would be!

Oh I remember that 80’s outfit! Everyone wore them and Richard Simmons was popular. Lol and yes the hair to the side in a ponytail. I love going to estate sales but I live in the country and mostly estate sales they tell you to make a pile and then they will give you a price. Really liked your finds though.

With the salt container I see fresh blooming flowers coming out of it and even a bit overflowing out of the container.

Love your haul, MaCenna. Sorry to hear about your negative experience. I love your attitude & how you aways see the bright side. You are such a good person. Hope you enjoyed your movie outing. You looked great in your eighties outfit.❤

So glad you got the art piece. The girl looked like the thumbnail of your vlog channel.

my favorite youtuber to watch mentioning my favorite show? obsessed !!!! Gilmore Girls is always a must 🍂🍁

I immediately thought of the ghost trend when I saw that painting and thought it would be PERFECT for it! Please do it!

Hey MaCenna, you could put it in your blue & white tiled bathroom and use it for your bath salt.

The outfit that you wear and your hair style, (flea market segment) - Awesome!

Oh how fun the movie looked. You looked adorable. 😱

The lamp will look fabulous lit up.😀 I love your 80's outfit. 😍

That painting on the wall of the woman next to the river, looked just like you!

As soon as I saw that painting my first thought was it would be perfect for the thrifted ghost painting trend!!

Ooh you could totally put the salt holder in your bathroom to tie in with the tiles. It could hold bath salts! Although you don't have a tub in the downstairs room so maybe spilling the blue tile design upstairs?

Fun times @ Movie!🧟‍♀️ Love ur 80’s Track suit! The pink hair band!👌🏻🫶🏻 Great finds @ Estate sale The Frame w/ the girl reminded me of “ Witches!” W/ Angelica Huston!🧟‍♀️

You could put the salt container in the bathroom... it would go nicely with the decorative tiles. maybe put some grens or bath products in it.

@4:36 Miss Kinsley going pottie under the work table? Can't even be mad when they're that precious tho!!! ❤😂

Yes would loveee to see ghost art on that painting for Halloween!!!

you could but the salt holder in the bathroom with the tub for epsom salt

Cozy fall vlog time is the best time of day!

Or a violet pot. Violets don’t want much light, also water once a week in the saucer. It’s not big so you’ll see all the parts of the salt wall thing.

In top of the garage.. In the window u need to try and make the burning window effect .. By putting bedsheets and fan and a light underneath... I saw it in some reels or tiktok and looked awesome....

I think the wall hanging salt cellar may have had a wooden lid at one point. You should look it up!

I actually like the art in the frame. Cute ‘80’s and a bit Punky Brewster.🎃

I would have totally bought that marble lamp too!! ❤

That decorative piece would be cute placed on the fireplace and painted under the mantle

That painting at estate sale - Wow it could you in the picture!

Can you show a few homes in your neighborhood that are decorated ? I love yours it's not cheapie bloody gore your yard is magical mystical pumpkin tour !

Estate sales and the workers. Will make for a great podcast!

OMG your 80s sweatsuit looks really cute on you. I have to say it reminds me of Suzanne Summers in threes company. Great tribute to her, may she rest in peace! But you just look adorable lol you could also be a Barbie from the 80s! As for your adventure with your estate sale, that’s really sad that you had that experience, because that probably means with as much stuff that was left over that, so did everybody else! And it’s sad that the family paid for a business to do a job for them that looked like ultimatelythey did not do. And the picture frame OMG who didn’t know that you were gonna buy that for the picture frame lol. The cemetery is really a cool idea you girls have fun.❤
