EXTREME KITCHEN RENOVATION EP 5 | Designing Our Custom Cabinetry

When your contractor seems genuinely excited about putting together your kitchen!👍👍

I love the communication between you and the builders, there seems to be such understanding between you!

Those clips with your contractor are absolute gold, i feel like you formed a great friendship with one another based off of the love of kitchens, it's super wholesome to watch ❤

I collect videos to go into "watch later" that I can watch through the day when I have time, but these ones never make it. Must watch instantly.

I like seeing the respect your contractor has for your knowledge and skills. The project seems to be going extremely well. I hope it continues in this vein!

You must be their perfect client! You’re sooo prepared! Good on you, MaCenna! Have a great week! 😊

I love that your contractor is just as excited as you are and that he respects you and your knowledge.

Your contractor seems like such a genuine person!

hope you have the whole crew over for a celebratory kitchen reveal when all the decor and everything is magazine ready.

You know!!! I know your contractor adores how prepared you always are!! Happy Mommy’s Day, MaCenna…..to you, your mom, and your followers! 💞

Hey MaCenna, I’m a birth and postpartum doula (but I use to be an architect ha! Hence why I follow you). In one of your previous videos, you stated you wanted to get back to work pretty quickly… contrary to popular belief, I think women that love their work like you do and get back into it in some way or another during postpartum usually do well mentally… they get recharged from it… it is absolutely possible to thrive in postpartum but please please hire support, I know your mom will be there but trust me, if you want to get back into work, you might actually need even more support… a postpartum doula is an idea but there might be other types of supports too in your area. Or maybe somebody to do you video montage/edits? Don’t underestimate the first few months with a newborn. It is INTENSE. Childbirth classes can’t hurt either. It’s so much easier to heal physically and mentally from a birth that went well. Whatever you do, you do you, and know that a good doula will just support you in just that. Sending lots of love your way.

Your contractor has all the patience in the world!

I love seeing your contractor and the respect that he has for you, as a woman that worked in the construction industry for a long time this is means a lot. Love your work Mega Builders!!!!

There is literally no one like you on the planet. You rock! Happy Mother’s Day to be!

Your walnut cabinets will be both unique and beautiful. I love that you don’t necessarily follow trends. Your kitchen will be timeless.

You really should consider making him a shirt that says "She Knows" 😝🤣🤣

I think you are the only person who could design this kitchen with the different little rooms, the various slopes of the ceilings. I can see that the workman like to work with you because of the knowledge you gained in design, but also the knowledge you gained by building your own kitchen in the cottage. You aren't asking them to do anything that you haven’t done yourself. I can't wait to see the kitchen finished and the safe delivery of your son.

I’m just so proud of you and how you handle this renovation. As a woman who’s embarking on a similar journey, it’s inspiring for me to see a woman so intelligently speaking about what she wants in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Your contractors seem so understanding and excited honestly to make it come alive. As you’ve said in your podcast, not all construction guys are like that. Way to go MaCenna!

I’m imagining three scenarios. MaCenna is enjoying her time with her mom or baby has arrived or both. Well we know she’s enjoying her mom no matter. It’s strange when I don’t know you MaCenna but I have thought about you every day and I think I can speak for all, this is your time, enjoy enjoy. We will all be here at your return no matter when that may be. 💚

I realized how unprepared I was after watching MacCenna Vlogs after just updating a portion of my kitchen. We should all use this as a lesson plan.
