Restore and paint it

Hi MaCenna - Quick idea - if you find a lighting fixture that is full of crystals but has great bones, you can always remove the crystals, use the light without them, and hang the crystals on your Christmas tree! We inherited an old chandelier at one point and that's what we did. I still use the crystals on my tree and they reflect the lights so beautifully. You and Romeo look so happy!

I was going to suggest that myself. Crystals on the Christmas tree is a great idea, and I would save a few to hang in the windows. Crystals make awesome prisms which have dancing rainbows on your walls when the sun shines through them. I have prisms in every window. ♥♥♥

Definitely restore it. It will add incredible beauty to the kitchen without being a distracting difference. Plus you don't want unknown paint flaking off into your food, or getting mouldy.

I agree; I think they would look better if they were stripped and painted the same as the hood. I think in their present state, they would distract from everything else. Be careful though before you strip the paint that you check to make sure they don’t have lead paint; that would be very harmful to the baby and to you.

No Macanna !!! Keep it rustic chic like it is...let it match the wooden beams..just a protective layer...you can always change it later as life goes on.. such a stunning find and rare.

The corbels are GORGEOUS! I would test the paint on the corbels for lead before deciding how to finish them! I do think they would look good stripped and stained to match whatever you do with the beams. Also, consider the heat from the stove before deciding on how close to the stove you can place them!!! Your contractor should be able to give you the minimum clearances.

That little paw on McCenna's arm killed me! She's so cute!

The best thing you can do for your roses is put used coffee grounds on the bottom! They like the excess nitrogen and it helps it bloom faster / keep blooming! I would test the corbels for lead paint! I would probably strip and paint so it doesn’t flake into food!

Strip the corbels! You are so good at refinishing, I want to see them in your kitchen.

McCenna, I’m worried about potential lead based paint on the corbels which concerns me with you expecting. Please test them for a peace of mind.

That orange dress looks so good on you. Nice to see you in some colour for a change.

I think restoring them to blend is a nice compromise. You love the corbels and found beautiful vintage ones, which you love and Romeo would prefer it refinished a “cleaned up”. It seems like a prefect blend for the both of you, which is always nice to do in a home you both share.

I vote to keep the patina beauty. The juxtaposition would be gorgeous. If it’s lead paint, you can seal it to make it safe. 💞

The corbels are a huge architectural statement and in a vintage kitchen, I would leave them. But this is a new build and in my opinion sanding and painting them will make them more cohesive with the rest of the kitchen design. FYI I am jealous.🌺😀

I miss being pregnant. Likely won't have that experience again. Five kiddos is enough😊😂

I would redo the corbel. Even sealing, just in case moisture makes something break loose. Could have lead paint on them. No chances with that beautiful baby.

Funny enough I brought 2 new roses today. A rambler called Felicity Perpetue and a tea rose called Silver Anniversary. Both are white as I'm creating a purple and white theme with my pots this year. I used to have a really stunning climbing rose at the front of my house that I trained up and over our lounge window and also around our porch. It was called Iceberg and literally everyone who came to our house would comment on how pretty it was. Sadly one year it suddenly died so I replaced it with a pale lilac wisteria that I have also trained on the same wires over my window and around our porch. Its currently covered in dripping flowers. Also simply beautiful. I can't wait to watch the new roses grow and bloom but I do know that they take a lot of care because they pick up so many different diseases so easily. I therefore brought a rose spray to use regularly to try and prevent these. It was so hard not to be tempted by all the beautiful red, pink and orange roses in the garden centre but I had a clear image in my mind of what I wanted and that was white flowers. If you are looking for a prolific and stunning flowering rose then do look up Iceberg. I hope to find another one of these one day too. Xx

I'm saying restore and slightly age with darker paint at the angles

The corbels are so pretty! If you wanted them the same color as the hood, you could paint them the same color but use a different finish. High gloss would be so pretty and you wouldn’t loose the unique shapes within the corbels. I did that with my night stands and just finished the decorative doors in high gloss and they’re flat otherwise, but all the exact same color. It adds an accent that’s so unique and impactful.

Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 my Mum, daughter and I love watching your videos. They are good for the soul!

you know we LOVE a shabby chic corbel, but since the rest of your kitchen (sans the Table) will be shiny and new, you might want to redo them to fit in. They're gorgeous enough in shape, style, and size!! Can't wait to see them 😍😍

You can always put up a light and upgrade as you find the forever light.

The pretty mantle would be nice incorporated into a range hood.

I love the corbels. I would restore them and stain them. Make them disjointed but with stain.

You could create a rose scented candle to commemorate your garden! ❤

Cut back your roses on Valentines Day. Easy to remember.

Husband and I just painted our bedroom Sculptor Clay, yess Mama MaCenna that is a beautiful calm color. Thank you for your advice. Love your channel down.

I would paint the corbel, mostly because it is so close to where you will be cooking and preparing food and using high heat. I know you mentioned sealing it really well, but I think that it might be one of those things where it's better to be safe than sorry. You could always paint it in a way to add the dimension that you are looking for! Like staining and then painting, then sealing, etc.

I think you should wait to see what your light fixture looks like before you decide on the corbels. In your last video that one light you showed had more of a shabby, white-washed look to it, so it might tie in nicely with the corbels as-is if you were to go with something like that. Or, if you went with something different and more polished, it might look better to restore them. Since they would both probably be vintage pieces, I think it would be nice if they had the same kind of vibe going on to tie them together!

She did mention having only a couple of weeks as a time frame for the builders to start working on the range hood/corbels so she likely may not have found the “perfect” light fixture before that. As others have suggested she might want to put up a fixture that may not be the perfect one for now but continue looking for the perfect one. It can be changed out when that. happens.

I would leave them in their shabby glory! Original is original that’s what will make your kitchen unique!

I absolutely love the corbels that you purchased at the flea market in all their glory. However, I might sand them a little bit, but I love the coloring. You are looking fabulous with your baby bump. I’m glad that you’re having a wonderful pregnancy. Your kitchen is going to look amazing! I’m excited for y’all. Kingsley is so cute. I’m sure she’ll well with your newborn baby when he gets here. Have a great week. ☺️❤️

I think with all the newness of the kitchen, leaving the corbels shabby would give it some character and interest.

I would leave it as is but put some kind of clear coat on it to prevent any flaking coming off into your food as your cooking and to make it easier to dust and clean. Those are beautiful!

I love them just the way they are. I’d just clean them up & test for lead. They are so beautiful!

Yes please leave them in there antique glory. The corbels are beautiful just how they are , it will add a lot of character

Such a sweet family, thanks for sharing your lives with us all!

What a great find! The corbels are beautiful! Restoring them would be fun! Maybe, If your cabinets are going to be custom, your vendor will be able to take them, sand them down, and stain them to match the cabinets. Thanks for sharing! 😉❤

That mirror was so gorgeous!

Yes the corbels would look better with a slightly newer finish as they are looking a bit unloved! It may take you a while to get the perfect lighting but if you have a back up you could always change it at a later date!

I would definitely leave them, to bring in that old world charm you love! If you re-do them, it will just look all "new", but you're going for that old world french look!

Restore!!! They are gorgeous. So happy for you that you found them! Can’t wait to see everything come together 💕

Yeeey! New vlog right by the time when I’m going to bed in Sweden 😂 Perfect for tomorrow morning when I’m doing my makeup 😍💪🏻

Strip them! That could be lead paint on them!

I’d check the corbels for lead paint first and then decide. You can always destress paint them to update the paint so you know they’re not going to chip paint around your cooking. They are great and I’m glad you found a feature you love for the kitchen.

I say leave the corbels looking shabby! You look so happy talking about them being shabby.

Hello from Sweden! ❤️ the time diff always force me to look at your videos one day later 😩 Its 11 pm here now and I REALLY need to sleep even though I want to have a look instantly 😅 Look forward to watching tomorrow! You are an absolute favourite! ❤️❤️ hugs from the nordics 🤗

I love that Romeo is already bonding! white flowers tend to have more sent! We were far to busy admiring your Bump!

Love the corbels and yes refinish them. Kitchen moisture and heat and cooking residue can destroy the exterior, so make them fail safe! Going to be so pretty! Exciting times!

Everyone, if Macenna decided to leave the corbels as they are, all she would need to do is clean them up, take off any residual flakes, then coat them with a couple of coats of a clear, protective coat. They would be safe then-and wipeable. It sounds like Romeo is going to prefer them be restored anyway. They are so beautiful!! And I think the size is perfect scale for room. ~Cathy

I would just seal the corbels! I love the chippy!

Leave them the way they are….. beautiful 😊

I 100% agree on the old vs. new, its definitely more special to find a piece that's old.. whether it be lighting, a piece of furniture, art, decor, the list goes on! I'd much rather have the old but like you said.. its so pricey!🫤 The bump is bumping for sure.. so sweet🥰 Those corbles are gorgeous!! I love the chippy & old, but in the right space. I'm thinking in this particular space maybe they should be stripped.. they'll be beautiful regardless! Ohhh I LOVE they mantle piece! It would also make a beautiful shelf in the right space! Aww cute tee's😊 Can't wait to see what you come up with on the range hood.. excited for the next video, as always😊

Exciting! I’m agree with Romeo’s choice regarding the corbels. The rest of the kitchen will border on elegant; if refinished, the corbels will make a grander focal point! 😊 👏👏👏🙏 ♥️

Roses are blooming for us too! My hubby couldn't blame it on the gardeners, though. He literally "butchered" my newly discovered, beautiful desert red roses (we didn't know we had them).
