The transformation is lovely. How you share your thought process, the setbacks and successes is the magic here. Your authenticity. If I could make one suggestion-it’s for you to slow down, give yourself grace. This room is more than a three part transformation. Walk us through your choices for the stair wall treatment in one episode. The fireplace treatment, your decisions, techniques and why in another. The front door and window treatment in another. You have a rapped audience. We aren’t looking for speed-we’re looking to be included, which you do so generously. Give yourself grace. We aren’t going anywhere.

@@XOMaCenna I hope I’m not too late for you to see this, but there are flexible molding products. You might check them out in case you want to add more, or use in future projects! It might give you ideas that aren’t limited by rigid materials! Or maybe use in your stair designs... you never know! Another thought I had about midway, before you started on the design you did, but I was thinking layering precut arch “moldings” out of the 1/8” sheet and possibly routing the edges, or somehow mimicking a curved casing at the top, with layered and routed pieces...

I was already so excited for the arches, but you’ve brought it to a whole new level - just like you always do! I can’t wait to see what the room (and the rest of this house) will look like after you put your mark on it!!

The cosmetic renovation videos are my cup of tea!! I love that they’re projects I could do to my home without ripping apart walls

MaCenna your building DIY gives me life. I’ll be honest I’m to jittery to sit still and listen to podcasts but your projects make me feel so good plus I’m always makes me feel Women can do anything. We all live vicariously through you. Keep building please.

I’ve been following you for years, and may I just say I think your amazing. You’ve taken a skill you loved and everyday practice it without letting fear stop you. And I’m proud of the accomplishments and progress. It’s amazing to watch someone grow this way. I think it looks beautiful. Also you’ve inspired me to actually start.

“Holy Cow I love this!” Me too, MaCenna! Watching you literally make your dreams a reality is what I most look forward to each week! Thank you for absolutely everything that you do in your added process of inviting us along every step of the way! Holy Cow! P.S. Regards to Kinsley! 💘

Can’t get enough , can I just say .. you are truly amazing and you bless me as I watch weekly ❤

I have just completed the soffit board of the terrace of my parents' new house with my husband. I was the one cutting it with a miter saw. I owe this accomplishment to you, MaCenna - you show us, girls, that power tools are awesome and nothing to be afraid of ;) Thank you!

I feel like a lot of men will never understand the happiness and pride that come with doing something like this. We're told from the get go that it's too difficult for us, that we're not strong enough, not smart enough. It seems like the smallest thing, but it's actually so so important to show girls and women around the world, that there's nothing we can't do. Thank you, Macenna!!!!!

I love watching the creative cogs in your brain going round as you are thinking of elevating your projects. I am an architectural technician and I have that type of technical design brain so I get it. Watching you is like a fix.😂

Your archway is amazing! I can’t believe how elegant you made it. Plus it DOES make the archway so much higher feeling! Having both of them completed will make both rooms look so beautiful! Can’t wait to see them all done!

I get the impression that this "hard work" you speak of in some sense is more like "play" for MaCenna. I'm not discounting the swear equity that it takes to do these projects - I'm just saying that for her, there is built-in FUN in the doing!

WOW!!! Girl, you took that door and worked magic on it! Will be absolutely gorgeous when painted. What a great talent you have! Love all you do!

So gorgeous!! It has taken the front room to another level.

MaCenna, in outside privacy fencing, when a board has that angle cut on both sides of the top, it's commonly called a "dog ear." I don't know why your arches mimic that shape or why the angles seem so random - but your solution to that issue is gonna be epic! Can't wait to see them all completed. The improvement will be amazing!

I was a little sad to see you leave the cottage for such a long time but you look so happy, healthy, relaxed and in your element in this video!! I know LA has already been super good for you. Hope the rest of your Summer treats you just as well.

You took that entryway to the next level! I’m continually in awe of your creativity and ability to knock every project out of the park!

AMAZING! Not only does it look awesome, it adds so much value and character. You knocked it out of the park, MaCenna!❤️

Ok I totally take back what I said about waiting on changing the arches on one of the last videos. These are MAGICAL! I'm already imagining them draped with garland and a sprig of mistletoe at Christmas! ❤

Those arches are so F'n beautiful. Trim is perfect...leads you into the living room with the beams. Once she uncovers those, it will be so so beautiful.❤

Absolutely stunning. You're truly inspiring to women around the world. You remind me so much of my mom and older sister. They never allowed anything to hinder their creativity. I really enjoy your content!❤

I was feeling a wee bit starved for Reno content and NOW, you are bringing it! That doorway is phenomenal! Can’t wait to see it with color.

Just color YOU AMAZING! That's your personal color! You blow us away with your eye for design and cohesiveness to the entire project. You make it all work and complete each and every detail! Everything is Fabulous! It's also over top and I am loving it as it's totally what I love in design..........so WOW I can't wait to see what comes next. You are such an inspiration. I love the relationship you and your mother have. It's like my daughters and I ........... so easy and both loving the same type of things.........what a joy! Blessings and I can't wait to see what's next!!!

We can always count on you MaCenna to take every project to the next level. It's going to be stunning!

MaCenna!! Every video I think “oh yeah this is the one where she’s officially outdone herself”, and THEN you come out with another video and I’m like “now she’s REALLY outdone herself!” I can’t begin to tell you how obsessed I am with the arches! Heart eyes forever

Definition of TRANSFORMATION! I love how you showed every single step, from your vision, to every single material, how to manipulate the material, adding details for elevation, and then budget breakdown, and let’s not mention the vision of the entirety of the home. Not only did you elevate the entry arch, but you made sure that there were unity in the home’s structure. You are such an inspiration to women who have a passion for art and life/home style but may not know exactly where to start. ❤

The opening looks so much bigger. And color drenching YES! I did this on my bathroom and I absolutely love it.

Gorgeous!! I must say that I absolutely love “ Behr Markee Paint & Primer in One “. It’s amazing quality. It truly is a one coat paint. I have been using it for the past 7 + years on all my projects. Nice work Mcenna. I always learn so much from your videos 😃

I would reconsider those chairs - the backs are so high that the scale looks off in that room. It’s a tight room to space out but if you had lower backs on the chairs to match the sofa it wouldn’t look as crowded. Just a suggestion

LOVE the soft arches and trim - makes such a difference bringing in character 🙂

In response to your recent community post: Even though I am SUPER excited to see the arches completed, I’d enjoy the more consistent process videos, even if a project is still in process and we have to wait to see it completed. I think we all are just so happy to see your face, that an incomplete project doesn’t matter. BUT, do what you need to do to not get burned out.

I love how you look at something like a doorway and say I can improve this. Off to your 2nd (hardware) home. You are such a inspiration to all❤ Love how attentive Kinsley is 🐾🧰👷‍♀️

I totally said not to change those arches in the last video but I'm so glad you didn't listen! I thought it would close off the space but the way you added the trim to elongate the doorway does the exact opposite and creates the illusion of so much more space! I love the result! Great job!!!

You can make short cuts in the side that you’re bending to. This makes space to bend and it lesson the pressure on the top. Just slight cuts, kinda like if you’re sewing and do curves, you have to take out some of the material so it lays right.

The original doorway looks “builder grade,” for lack of the proper term. The new and improved architecture looks rich - and you’re right in saying, “more welcoming.” Great job! Wonderfully imaginative.

Wow, consider my mind officially blown🤯. It does make it seem so much taller. It also elevates the room to a whole other level, and that spills over into the rest of the house. It’s like it sets the mood of the whole house and by just changing these entrance ways. It’s hard to find the right words to say what I’m wanting to say, but I hope you get the gist of it.

MaCenna does it again! I never dreamed you could elevate the arches to the level you did! It will be magnificent once it painted. Love it! 🎉

You are amazing! This house now, has endless ways to totally get it to your taste ! Such a fabulous look those arches ! Very inviting! 👍💕

Hey MaCenna, if your house was built around the 20's to 30's, the very straight lines in the arches would indicate an art deco style. You see this straight line arch style a lot with mirrors of the time, less so with door archways. I would assume the arches are original to the house.

Soft arches look nice, but original arches were unique to the house. It's as if you're looking for things to change on a whim 😮

MaCenna, I don’t know if you will even see this, but here’s a thought: I do agree with your mom that the collars don’t work, at least not the way they are. I think they are too low and bring the eyes down being quite thick and sturdy as well. To me that takes away from the sense of height the raised frame and top detailing add. I would move the collars up all the way to the point where the inner casing starts to bend and probably also make them a bit less thick so they don’t compete with the top detailing but blend into it a bit more. Just my two cents, take it or leave it as you wish, if this comment reaches you. Either way, the arches are stunning, your attention to detail and precision are incredible! Can’t wait to see the painted room! 🤩 and always, thank you so much for sharing this amazing home making journey with us! 🙌🤗

It’s not even painted and it really draws your eye up . Love love !!! When you start your projects with your ideas I go down the rabbit hole with you ❤❤❤at the end that collar matches that fireplace

Do not like this it makes it look dated. Was better before or ever better straight lines.
