17:17 Klimt's "Kiss" is ridiculously famous. It was in EVERY artsy person's apartment (as a print,a puzzle, a poster...) when I was a student.😅

the kiss has been commercialized so much that it is now become one of the most famous paintings of all time. i'm actually shocked you've never seen it or heard of gustav klimt before.

Girl you explaining what The kiss by Klimt is was too much for me 😂 one of the most famous pieces in art history

Gustave Klimt, not "Klimit", he`s very famous, I saw the most amazing immersive exposition of his works in Barcelona last year, where they project his artworks all over the rooms (walls, floor, roof). It was magical! His works are very unique and beautiful. One thing about his original work is the use of real gold on some paintings, because he was actually trained as a goldsmith in his father`s studio before becoming a painter, and he used this knowledge in his art by applying gold leaf to some of his works, like the one you got, which is called "The Kiss"!

Your reaction to that Gustav Klimt print is so funny to me as a Swede, almost every home had that from IKEA 10-15 years ago, it was really popular :'D he did some amazing art! but "the kiss" is the most popular. My dad had that in his apartment and I always thought it was a big owl hahaha

Yes, Klimt is so popular. My daughter has the same size print of the "The Kiss" also. Speaking of (Klimt - say in one syllable), you must see the movie "Woman in Gold", unbelievable true movie, so heartfelt, since my grandmother was from Vienna, Austria. The movie has to do with one of his painting that ended up in a L.A. area art museum, well the story is impactful to say the least. Love your blog! Take care.

I’ve seen The Kiss in the Belvedere seriously one of the top 5 most amazing things I’ve seen in my life! I can’t even explain how massive and shimmering gold it is!!! Seriously, a stunning piece of art.

That painting was massively reproduced at Ikea a few years ago, I also thought about getting it but there were just so many of them that I assumed they'd be in every home.

Girl, this is crazy, I just sat at home eating a pizza, I came back this afternoon from Vienna, and this morning I went to the Belvedere and saw Klimt's 'The Kiss' in person!! what a coincidence. You can't believe how stunning it is, I spent over 2o minutes just staring at it. Few times have I been so impacted by seeing a famous art piece. You need to look his art up, he's very popular and for good reason

Interesting that the Klimt (rhymes with mint) is a self portrait with his lover and your photograph is also an embrace of you with Romeo ❤

MaCenna!! The painting of the man kissing the women that you found it’s called The Kiss by Gustav Klimt Viena Painting and Iv been on the search for that painting to put into our home, my parents had it and growing up I would look at it with such awe and I wish they’ve kept it but I didn’t value art and frames back then like I do now. Hope your friend likes it! 💙

I'm super surprised you didn't know that Gustav Klimt painting, that piece is so stunning. My favorite by him is Mother and Child because it looks like me and my mom, she has a print of it in her office it always makes me smile

Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss. One of my all time fav pieces of art. I still have that same print, I’ve had it for nearly 30 years and I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of it! 😊

Gustav Klimt is one of my favorite artists! The original works have the most stunning effect with real gold used.

The Kiss is a favorite. Klimt was the opening artist chosen for the first expo at Atelier des Lumieres in Paris. Suggestion: make some time during your next Paris trip for a fun immersive experience near the Pere Lachaise Cemetery (actually, coincidentally, it just re-opened for another short run). I have the umbrella with the Kiss on it--- quite a nice bright pop of yellow and gold on a rainy day! It makes me smile (plus: It's a little way to attract a nod and smile from other art lovers).

I can't wait to see this Mid-Century Modern room makeover! It's going to be epic!

The Kiss is is one of the most famous paintings in the world… so it would kind of be like hanging a poster of the Mona Lisa. Like you can do it but maybe hang it in a self aware way with other posters rather than other paintings or something, know what I mean?

The tool box was probably more a fishing box. "The kiss" by Gustav Klimt was in my bedroom for sooooo long ! With another painting called "Love", darker but beautiful also.

OMG, The Kiss has been reprinted millions of times and is everywhere. Hard to believe you haven’t seen it before. I have several Klimt prints and love his work.

Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss" is my favorite. Klimt is a very famous Austrian painter of Art Nouveau. I saw this piece in Vienna ❤ and have a canvas replica hanging in my sewing room because it reminds me of patchwork.

Loved the pieces you found for yourself and the ones for your friends. I actually have the same amber bowl. They originally made what they called console bowls with low, matching candle holders, one for either side. They were named for their placement on a console table - much like yours in your living room - but they would also be seen on a buffet in a dining room or even a dining room table. I'm excited to see the finished projects for your friends! The Klimt print is iconic and would be gorgeous in any space large enough to support it. And that actually brings up something that I like very much about you. You found it and fell in love with it and raved about it. Then when you learned it was actually a famous painting by a well-known artist, you shared what you learned for anyone else who might not know and still loved it. There are sooo many who would not have used that footage and who would have reframed that scenario as you knew all about the original painting, etc. I love your authenticity and your lack of need to be a know-it-all. Your enjoyment of learning new things and sharing what you discover is a delightful trait. Don't ever lose it! 🩷

So great to see you use the Klimt! So many of us had this print in the 90's. Always loved it. Can't wait to see how you style it. Great vlog!

The bookends are gorgeous!! They are hand carved & MCM pieces. Check close for a signature on the bottom, sometimes engraved on the backside. I sold a set a few months ago for $175.00 😊

I love Gustav Klimt. I had that same large print (The Kiss) in my bedroom for years, I mean years. The frame broke last year and I miss it. When I was in Austria several years ago, I was able to see most of his work at a Palace museum. 🧡

The canister is L E Smith. Said separately. It’s a made in America glass brand that’s very popular. So getting it for $12 is AMAZING

JUST what I needed right now - MacCenna's positive calming cozy vibes

Haha! Klimt’s kiss and Van Gogh’s sunflowers were the two posters every college girl had in their dorm room in the early 90’s! Ha! Love those glass pieces!!!

Looking forward to seeing the makeover! Klimt is very famous! His art is amazing!!!

The Kiss is one of my all-time favorite paintings!

I think the amber bowl is a Fostoria Console Bowl, Mid-Century Modern, mtg. in the 1950's. It's beautiful! Great episode.

How wonderful to have that special photo of you both in France hanging in your bedroom. Very touching to be able to see it everyday 🩶

Gustav Klimt is big deal! IKEA version, maybe not so much, but his work is amongst my favourite.

Still can't get over how beautiful that material is for the bathroom curtains 😍

When a piece of Klimt art fits a space it is so gorgeous. If you have the chance to go see it, the fact that it’s actually gold is just amazing.

Same! Love The kiss!! Have it hanging in my bathroom - have loved it for years!! Klimt's work is like no other!!

So much love in this episode!! Doing makeovers for friends… Finding The Kiss… And then you and Romeo in such a gorgeous photo ❤❤❤

Love the idea of you working with Anthropologie! Can’t wait to see the table scape.

The Kiss original is in Belvedere Palace in Vienna and it’s absolutely stunning in person. Adorned with real gold and sliver that doesn’t come across in prints, highly highly recommend seeing in person for anyone who is able to!!

MaCenna, Congratulations on your Anthropology collab!!!

Gustav Klimt is always OK.! Love everything he does! Love this video Macenna!

How can people not know this painting of Gustav Klimt? It's famous worldwide.

It’s a really famous painting - probably Klimt’s MOST famous - it’s like hanging a print of Starey Night on the wall. You can easily get a poster for like 10-15 bucks.

The Gustav Klimt print is meant to be vertical with the heads at the top.

The Kiss has got to be one of my favourites. The colours Klimt uses is amazing.

I collect Mexican onyx so it's awesome to see my favorite RU-vidr showing a love for them as well! ❤️

How many people, at some point, owned that Klimt piece from IKEA? I definitely did.

midcentury modern is my faaaaaavorite so i'm so so so excited to see this project and get some ideas from you!

Just take your time, we understand. Most people have others to do the editing and you do it all yourself. We will always support you. Your content is pure quality. ❤

MaCenna I had a situation with odor from new construction. I tried different products but what really helped was putting live plants in the room. So much better now. WHEW!!!

The Kiss is one of the most famous pieces of art out there. Love it.

LOVE Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss"---unforgettable art...

Gustav Klimt painted The Kiss that you showed us. That is a very popular print. I bought it back in the 90's for $110 framed. You got a good deal. I have since bought 2 more prints of his work. I really enjoy his perspective

The art of Gustav Klimt is so amazing 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Girl! That print of The Kiss! Best find EVER! The history of his most used model, Adele Bloch-Bauer is one of heartache and victory. ❤

Oh wow Macenna…those marble horse bookends are so beautiful. I have a par just like them that I thrifted years ago. I live in New Zealand and have been following you for years. It makes me really happy knowing that we have the same special things. Every time I look at them I will think of you.

I love that you and Romeo both picked that photo, it’s lovely! You’re so considerate to his taste too when you’re designing. It would be could if you could share some advice perhaps on your podcast about compromising/listening to your partner’s design desires when you’re creating a space! I’m not such of a team player when it comes to interior design at home 😅😅

The Kiss is my fav of all time… I have a print I bought in Austria in the 90’s still hanging in my home - I’ve changed the frame thru the years to suit changing tastes. He’s Art Nouveau era. So gorgeous

I heard you say the Klimt was 5ft wide, but I’m wondering if you are thinking it’s oriented in landscape but it’s actually oriented in portrait, if that makes sense. It’s a tall painting, not a wide one.

I saw Macenna at the Topanga flea this weekend and I got more starstuck than when I see celebrities. Would have embarrassed myself if I said hi hahaha It's such a good flea though!

You found some beautiful things at the Flea Market, I love the amber glass that you found. Yours and Romeos photo is gorgeous. Your talents are never ending it seems.

I have the same print by Gustav Klimt. When I found it in antique shop I immediately connected it to how Felt when I fell in love with my Husband. It symbolized the feelings of protection and adoration that I felt then and forever. I lost him to cancer but it still hangs in my bedroom as a reminder of our everlasting 💕

The beginning of this video after the intro was so cinematic & I couldn’t stop thinking about how treasured those little life moment videos of you will be by your future children 🥹

That’s “The Kiss” have had it on my wall since I was in high school (in the 1990’s). I recently bought it for my friend, who always loved it, from ikea when I saw that they had it. I am so surprised you don’t know what it is! It’s so famous!!!!

Everything is beautiful. Loving the artwork! All of it and the amber glass pieces are beautiful and the horses...........just so so lovely.

Love the picture of you and Romeo! Can't wait to see the makeovers and your tablescape. Love your videos. Thanks MaCenna.

Gustav Klimt's The Kiss is one of my favorite paintings (if not my actual favorite). ❤ A copy that size is very nice to have

The Kiss is one of my all time favourite paintings 😍

I still can’t get my head around buying books just for the look rather than the actual book. I guess I have just been brought up just read a book

That Klimt is an old ikea print!

The Klimt painting is soo pretty!!

That art is called The Kiss

My great grandma had a set of those yellow glass canisters and it brought tears to my eyes because I miss her so much😅 I love that you find beauty in the old❤❤

It's like 'Clint' but with an 'm'...If you're curious, the movie "Woman in Gold" with Ryan Reynolds and Helen Mirrem is a true story about another of Klimt's paintings... was a really good movie!

Best days of the week are days MaCenna posts!! 😊❤

That's a very famous painting by Gustav Klimt. It is called "The Kiss"...

The Klint piece is a very popular one. It's even more beautiful in real life.

That big print was a Klimt. I have a book with all his artwork. That was a steal. I am so jealous! LOL

Woman in Gold is a most memorable movie! You should absolutely see it……such a special story!

we had a huge framed print of The Kiss in our dinning room growing up...i got all the nostalgia see you thrift this piece

I hope we get to view the rooms you are helping to put together for your friends! Fun going shopping with you. The dining room piece for the table is beautiful!

MaCenna listen to your body babe, you’re tired for a reason. This is one of the only videos where I can visibly see how tired you are. Rest my love…you deserve to slow down! Love your content…such a beautiful soul inside and out! Muah 💋

There’s no such thing as too much color. 💛🌈

Hello MaCenna all of the artwork you found is so awesome, I can’t wait to see what it’s going to look like in the space. 🙏🏾🥰💖💯💫

Seriously, on my hardest days you bring so much calm even when you're also in chaos.❤

What a fun find -- when I saw you pick this up it reminded of a wonderful movie about Klimt’s painting “Woman in Gold”!

Can't wait to see the makeover.The print was beautiful.Your picture that you and Romeo had taken is so pretty.

You found “The Kiss”. I’m so jealous. It’s one of my favorite paintings.

It’s good to walk through with u in another houses and in LA, but it’s very heart breaking to see the cottage left alone… the house need so much work already and so much love 🥲🥲🥲🥲 I missed so much those videos.

Those stone horse bookends you got look like giant chess pieces (the knights) - very cool!

I'm even more excited for the holidays now that you are working with Anthropologie on a table scape & Christmas tree!! 😍

One of my favourite artists and the highlight of the video was the photo you chose to put in a frame. One of the loveliest couples I have ever seen and such a great photo of the two of you.

Love your finds. I have a green bowl like your amber find. I bought it at an estate sale in the 80's. It is a favorite in the Living or dining room. Please consider moving your oil painting from the bathroom. I know people mentikned humidity before, but also the hair spray. My print, similarly placed, and covered in glass, would get spray on it, but of courese I could clean it off.

I just said, out loud to myself, “I’M SO STRESSED OUT!!” Then I got this notification and felt instantly better 😂

Hi MaCenna - I'm always happy when your videos pop up! The Klimt painting is The Kiss - one of his most famous. I have a print of the same painting in my home!

The amber piece you bought for youself is stunning and will look great on a table with fall colors.

It's funny that I know of Klimt because of Ikea. They used to always use prints of this painting in their displays 😂

Loved everything you got at the flea market! Very nice pieces, especially the amber bowl. Beautiful!

I love seeing “The Kiss” in this video! We had a large print of this hanging in my grandmother’s house and it was what inspired my love of art. I now have the piece in my home and have visited Vienna to see the painting in person! It was spectacular and is very large, much larger than 8 feet high. Just a note I’ve seen in the comments come up- no Klimt is unfortunately not as popular in the States! I don’t know why, the only reason I can think of is that most of his work is in Austria and does not travel often. I am aware of two Klimt works that live in the States, both of which are in New York. His work is beautiful though and so incredibly original, maybe more people will become curious after seeing this video.

Hi MaCenna! Make sure you protect that antique painting in your bathroom from moisture! It's so beautiful, but the shower steam is not going to be good for it. Love the vlog!

I didn't learn about Kilmt until recently! My aunt gave me a piece done by him called Judith and I hung her in my bathroom hallway 🥰 this one that you got is gorgeous as well! Great find
