I liked the first house the most. It was the only one that felt homely to me. The last one was just a show home. Can't imagine anyone actually living in it, but was just too big and the garden was like a Disney theme park. When houses are that big they just become showy museums in my opinion. My favourite is MaCenna's comfort cottage.

Anyone else get dizzy from the camera moving around too fast? Glad you and Romeo are having fun house hunting. My husband and I like to go to open houses too, just to see what there is and to get ideas of what we want when we get ready to buy or build a home. It's fun to plan and daydream/brainstorm about what you want your home to be like. 😁

This was very interesting. It showed you in a different light. I’d love to know what your MIL was thinking. She is lovely.

Wow! In these houses, you'd have to put a tracking device on Kinsley!

Just entertainment for sure, I love looking at them sometimes. But I have many friends who live big like that and are purely miserable, never finding happiness because they keep looking for it in things. It's so sad. Every morning I sit on my front porch and watch the sun rise over my small home on top of a mountain, tend to my garden, and thank God for all his blessings on me. As you get older, you appreciate things more that actually matter. Like knowing where you will go when you die, having a close relationship with God, and family. I couldn't be more content and at peace, am happier than I've ever been in my life. And that is worth more than gold. Can't wait to see more renovations! Or thrift store shopping! :)

The first house was STUNNING!! A couple vanity swap outs and countertops and that place would be amazing! The shed for projects!!

My first thought for house four was "Someone has to clean all that - and maintain the yard!"

That fourth house was epic. I liked the third house because that’s the kind of storage I need. 😆 I also get inspiration and ideas from open houses. There’s something about walking around the property that I just love! Thanks for showing us around. 🥰

I would have liked at least a ball-park price to know what we were touring. Romeo's mother is very elegant looking.

Macenna in the last video "this room is clutter and we store everything in here because we didn't Bring it back to the storage Macenna in this video: i don't think you NEED this much storage Yes Macenna, you do!

Omg! I LOVE the 1950s first house & the last one so much.....AND can I just say that so far your kitchen back in Texas couldn’t be more perfectly chic and sophisticated and a perfect compliment to your dining room with the depth of the black & matching your windows! Oh I am in LOVE with it. Great creative job!!! I can’t wait for the rest of it!

You two are just too cute! I loved seeing his family too!! I really think that last house had a lot of "MaCenna touches" to it! I could tell because I swear, you are my kindred spirit!! I look forward to every one of your videos, and guessing what things you go with because I seem to pick the same as you! You are a joy!!!!

That last house was incredible. the bathroom with the table was awesome and the huge bedroom was outstanding. I love the outdoor water features you saw and the huge pantry, OH MY>

I am so happy to have a new vlog to watch! I am so invested in these videos that always make my day.

Kived seeing Romeo's mother! And I quite agree with her comment (when she was looking at the storage) "That's what I need!" I agree, Romeo Mama!

I love it MaCenna says “ I wouldn’t change anything except this and this and this”! LOL

Oh wow! I would feel lost in any of those houses. They are huge! I loved the back yard in the last house. It was so pretty and peaceful.

It is amazing to me what people think they need! I am too practical for large homes. All the maintenance and associated costs are not for me. I often wonder if people who live like that are happy!

The housing market is so crazy in CA, which is why everyone is flocking to TX. Those houses were lovely, but cold. Most likely because they’re staged and not up for how real people live.

Love visiting homes for sale but these houses have to be multi-millions of dollars. I have a 3 bedroom 1200 sq ft bungalow in Orange County CA and my house is worth over 1 mil. and it is small. Can't even fathom what these are selling for in the LA area. Great way to get ideas though!!

Absolutely adore you, and I thought the others were overreacting with the dizzy comments but I agree 😭 I didn’t want to but it gave me proper motion sickness

This is one of my favorite activities! I agree, research is important 😉. I wonder if you’ll end up having a similar issue to me though. I feel like, at a certain price point, and a certain caliber of materials, I feel bad or wasteful ripping it out. Like, can’t stand this very expensive stone they put all over the place, but there’s no way I can replace it all. So, while I love the updated new stuff, I end up gravitating to the houses that need a total gut reno because I have no problem ripping out old gross linoleum haha.

I loved the first house! So beautiful and love the front room! You could really make a home like this your style.

i love open house dates! so fun! so fun to just see what other people homes look like and what they do with them!

We love shopping for house with macenna and Romeo! Before it was macenna Romeo and macenna mom now in LA Romeo’s mom is tagging a long, that is just so sweet to see those relationships. 🥰

Thanks for taking me along. So fun. My mom used to drag me on these open houses in second grade. All day long! Sometimes Saturday & Sunday. We had just moved into the ugliest house. Right off my Dad painted the entire outside from poop brown to yellow. Did landscaping all on weekends. I see now what Mom was doing. Fifty plus years later she's in the same house. It's perfect. God bless my Dad. Good luck Romeo and MaCenna. Look for good bones and make it your own.

Let's have a finished house tour featuring Romeo as the host. Would love to hear his insights on the experience.

Wow I loved House 3! I agreed with you, I would change a lot of the finishes like the cabinets and the countertops, but I liked the layout and the location and it had the perfect amount of rooms! Master bed, 2 bedrooms, and 2 offices!
