After a year of living in our new home and a baby arriving in less than 4 months, we’ve been thinking about updates we can make to our home while life is still a “calm.” Our kitchen has been something we’ve wanted to re-design since moving in so with the help of contractors and tradesmen we are tackling a complete kitchen renovation on a tight budget and even tighter timeline.

I have to know, is your contractor aware that you built a house with your own two hands? I saw a glimpse of a lot of male energy there and wonder if you are having to assert yourself at all. It’s your house and I hope they are professional and easy to work with unlike some of the other contractors you had to deal with in Texas! ❤

@joellehandy5659 2 месяца назад

Loving the design inspo! I'm partial to kitchens with medium wood cabinets so I'm excited to see it come together. I will caution about the placement of the fridge. It seems veeeeery far from the sink which is not ideal. Especially when handling raw foods. You don't want that much space to spread germs and bacteria. Also, just for function and practicality the sink, oven, and fridge should be closer together for ease of cooking and prep.

Exactly! As an Italian I don’t understand the whole eating at an island thing. Stools are uncomfortable and not fun with small kids. Also they don’t make sitting together a pleasure!

@rosekisiel3383 2 месяца назад

Your kitchen design reminds me of old school Italian household. I can really picture Nona making bread or pasta from your kitchen table while others are chopping vegetables. It's amazing how we can go full circle and we end up where our great grandparents or grandparents were at. They understood a productive layout of a kitchen.

@@XOMaCenna I don't have your resources or even own a home but as I've grown older and now a grandma of 3 beautiful grandchildren, I've learned to use my space in the kitchen so that I can relearn cooking from scratch but having my grandchildren 10, 3, and 2 to help stir and kneed. If I could ever have a kitchen for great cooking, gathering and teaching time, you have designed it. The kitchen is the heart of a home. Everything good can come from there and all problems can be solved in that space. Your appreciation for vintage, in my book is a revival of the old that never should have left households. Thank you for bringing back an oldie but a goodie.

@@rosekisiel3383I have childhood memories of hanging out with my Nonna in her small kitchen in CT while she made grand meals for the whole family (up to 20 people at times). She did all of this with one functioning arm (her right was unusable due to a stroke) and I always remember how happy she was cooking for everyone regardless of her limitations. My Nonno tended to the garden while she cooked all the meals with all the fresh grown food. I miss her everyday ❤️

@ChiliMarilli 2 месяца назад

Dear MaCenna, as an architect I really admire how you are tackeling your projects and I am looking forward to how the kitchen is gonna turn out but PLEASE reconcider the single upper cabinet on the right hand side of the sink. You gain no extra space because it is in the way of your beautiful statement storage wall!

@amberlamoine1 Месяц назад

Could not agree more @ChiliMarilli!

@makorepo11 Месяц назад

I was thinking the same. Some pretty shallow open shelves or art in its place would make the pretty cabinet wall the focus from that angle

@SheilaMiller-od7qn Месяц назад

I am too excited for your kitchen makeover!! I love how you are so active in the plan. I am glad you are keeping the floors, it add cozy to the areas in your home. I also like the idea of combining the dining room with the kitchen area! I just can't wait for the final reveal and of course the new baby!!

@aliplay5 Месяц назад

yes thank you!! It looks very strange there I hope they change it

@carolineorton3469 Месяц назад

I agree with this. If you lose the single on the right and make the left cabinet only two instead of three you can still have about equal space around your window for symmetry as well.

@jenniewesterlund2898 Месяц назад

Tips from a kitchen designer! The kitchen is lovely and will look amazing! The only thing I’m worried about planning wise is the amount of counter space. It’s more but not much. When the island disappears it will most likely get a bit crammed by appliances and not have the best chopping-station. I recommend putting a few outlets in the pantry and enough space to have some appliances hidden away behind the doors. You can also make the filling-piece by the end of the glass-cabinets into a hidden door that folds in or a shutter door that pulls up. That way you can hide some more appliances there! These are not critiques of the design just a tip from someone who plans kitchens every day 😅

@amandabradley6256 2 месяца назад

Having 3 boys……you 100% want an eat in kitchen. When they’re babies it’s easier to feed in a high chair, as they get older….homework table and as teenagers they are always eating……it’s a great conversational area. An eat in kitchen is a must❤

@Lucinda_Jackson 2 месяца назад

Yes! It encourages kids to hang out which is exactly what you want! My kitchen table was indispensable! So much easier for younger children to manage and be independent and they'll use it for arts and crafts, just plain old coloring, then homework, etc. I did my own wallpapering and hated prepasted so used wallpaper paste and did it on my kitchen table (mine had leaves so just popped a couple of leaves in and good to go). I'm also on the short side and inherited bad knees. Standard counters are just a bit too high for me (my current kitchen is better - my mother designed it with slightly lower counters) and make my shoulders ache, so i worked directly on my table for things like rolling pie crusts, kneading bread, etc. When my daughter hit a certain age, she'd read to me while I fixed dinner then in high school, she'd just sit and chat. Kitchen tables are so much comfier than islands and barstools.

@Lucinda_Jackson 2 месяца назад

I agree! Tall barstools are uncomfortable for everyone and very difficult for young children and older people who may have knee or hip issues. And MaCenna is entering both of those realms. Her parents are spry now and my fervent wish for them is that they remain that way, but they won't be so limber forever. I feel like I can chime in on this since I'm about Cathy's age - maybe a few years older, but not many!

@The.Caroline 2 месяца назад

Only note I have is that I hope you have enough counter space, and that I maybe would have rethought if you need the upper cabinets by the sink (looks like you’ve got a lot of storage in the wall of cabinets). I’m SO excited for the kitchen reno. It’s going to be gorgeous! I think the dining table will look great in there, makes it more of a communal and interactive space. And you can always add an island later if your needs change.

@dianebutton3777 2 месяца назад

I agree that the sink wall cabinets are unnecessary. Maybe a shelf for essentials only

@Lucinda_Jackson 2 месяца назад

I think they just look awkward because they're so tall - they overwhelm the window. It's big window but they make it look small.

@The.Caroline 2 месяца назад

I think I would consider if you need the door there out to the rose garden, or if you can put a window there instead and keep the kitchen going around the corner for more counter space.

@aliplay5 Месяц назад

I do love the door to the rose garden though and I think MaCenna mentioned loving to go out there with the coffee in the mornings

@aliplay5 Месяц назад

I would consider making the glass cabinets shorter to make the counter space along that wall useable. Instead maybe make the cabinets between the rose garden door and the sink reach all the way down because they look pretty strange just floating there like that. and the awkward little cabinet to the right of the sink definitely needs to go or be transformed to somehow work with the glass cabinets as one unit.

@rosehughes599 2 месяца назад

You might find a narrow filler panel to the side of both pantry and fridge would allow you to open the doors wider. We have a wine rack, one bottle wide full height down the side of our wide pantry cupboard. This means we could fit special hinges that open extra wide to improve pantry access. Standard 90 degree hinges make it feel like you're sticking your head in a box looking for the rice! And automatic light when you open pantry door is essential

I so appreciate your thinking on the question of an island! It's become a modern fixation to have one even when it makes little sense in context.

@georgiavanzaanen Месяц назад

Looks great MaCenna but I agree with a few other comments about losing the single upper cabinet next to the window! You’re not gaining anything and it looks odd! I would consider removing it so your full wall of cabinets can continue and making the 3 uppers on the other side of the window a 2 so it’s still symmetrical around the window! I’m an Architect from Aus

@Sooz1234 2 месяца назад

I love the design. I feel like you will use the kitchen table for food prep and unloading groceries, which is fine if that’s what you want. I just don’t see much more counter space than you have now because of the gorgeous floor to ceiling cabinets. If you decide you want more counter space you could lose the doors leading to the front porch. Perhaps use the windows from the back of the house there to take advantage of the light. Then you’d have that whole corner with a counter under the windows. I know it will be beautiful whatever you decide.

@XOMaCenna 2 месяца назад

That’s really the plan to use the dining table as well as extra space to put things down and get things out of you way .. just like a island but one that you can also use as a dining room table a sit lower and more comfortable than bar stools.

@faridah_zaidi 2 месяца назад

If you have lots of counter to ceiling cupboards, countertop space will be minimal Countertop is impt esp near the fridge and oven areas. The pantry area do need countertops too. Bare in mind that sometimes when we plan a kitchen it might looks picture perfect but not practical. So go thru the designs thoroughly . Cause carpentry is expensive. Unless you want to redo kitchen every yr.

Looking forward to seeing this all come together, the dining room was always too small a space to be useful so it will be great to open up the space. I can imagine baby boy in his highchair at the table with you both! Family time around the table eating together is so special❤

That added space as DR was a porch that was enclosed I'm thinking. Your plan is going to be great, it always is. I can't wait for it to get going and be done. So exciting!

Dear MaCenna, How I wish I could be a fly on the wall !!! The contractors are going to be surprised at your expertise and enthusiasm for this renovation. It would be so cool to have an on going video of all the transformation. ( It wouldn't matter how long, I know others like me, would just sit through the whole thing). I am extremely happy for you and Romeo for this lovely make over. Hugs 💞

I love seeing the variance in your kitchen designs and what direction you've gone with us! Designing TWO kitchens! Lucky gal 💕

I love the switcheroo of colors from the cottage kitchen to the LA one; biggest think I am excited for is the glass cabinets and hood range

I cannot wait to see the storage wall come to life. I think that's going to be absolutely magnificent.

We have a daughter and hope she grows up to be as wonderful as you! Love ❤️ and love your channel and can’t wait for the next one.

I absolutely love the layout!! I see what you mean about it looking modern in the design. The glass in the cabinet doors looks modern to me. I’d love bubble glass there!

You know you seriously love and admire a RU-vid designer when their old tiled countertop has grown on you so much that it is now beautiful to you!!! But I cannot wait to see what MaCenna does to this space!!!!! Eeeek I’m so excited!!

Haha! I HATED that tile when she first moved in! But it grew on me a little. Then she showed the paint color for the cabinets and I was thinking it would be a disaster with the tile. She said there were tones there and I assumed I just could t see it on camera and trusted. Naturally, she was right and I actually could ignore the tile after painting the walls and cabinets. Still not my fave, but I had grown fond of it in a way I hadn't realized until I saw it hanging off the wall during demo.

Thanks for this update, but do we need to wait for another two weeks to see the part 2? 😄 Just excited!

I wonder if you could add counter space under the glass cabinets. Because your appliances are so far from each other, it seems like more counter could be useful. Everything else looks perfect, and obviously you’ll choose what is right for YOU and your family.. that’s the beauty of design, there are no rules. Can’t wait to watch it unfold

The stove and fridge are close together. It will be great.

@Lucinda_Jackson 2 месяца назад

I'd do that, too. But think this will be pretty!

The best part of this home is the Garden no doubt! I love the window's & the French door exactly like they are. The wall in between removed, best idea of the makeover. It does make perfect sense.

Reaching over the stove to get spices is not safe. Additionally, they will become greasy. Highly recommend opening skylights, which cools the whole house easily.

Can’t wait to see it come to life. Absolutely beautiful and timeless with the natural dark wood and light counter tops. Love it.

Cannot wait to see your vision come to life! Love the wood, love the fluted glass. And to see a different style kitchen without the generic layout!

I’ve always loved an eat-in kitchen! Is that Drew’s contractor? Whoever it is, it’s amazing that they were able to start working on your kitchen immediately.
