this is most definitely THE most impressive video I've seen on the entire internet. You are incredible.
😢 Micarah ❤❤❤
Awwwwwww❤
I 100% agree .. Adore Christine
My two favourite content creators!
yes, absolutely 👏👏
Extraordinary! Your attention to detail remains unmatched.
So nice to see you here Whitney!!!
I was thinking the exact same thing
The 'de-aging' of the original owners was heart warming. A beautiful way to honor these people.
I'm sure their spirits are in that room/house still, happy about everything Christine is doing there 💜
Such a unique and meaningful touch!
And that that was the first time she'd used that technique is absolutely astounding. Christine could teach classes - and probably should for some of the people trying (and, frankly, failing) to do the same thing for movies and TV series with million dollar budgets!
@@PeachPlastic I'm sorry - are we living in the same timeline? Did people not "throw shade" at multimillion dollar productions like CATS and Sonic the Hedgehog over how poorly they'd digitally animated aspects of those films, and did that "shade" not result in changes made? These people make enough money to wipe away any tears on their own - they don't need you coming to bat for them, especially when they superimpose the adult face of the film's lead onto a picture of a baby and the resulting gremlin ends up making the final cut (and my nightmares.)
I love that she did that for them also. Since that was their home they created together. Should represent them from the beginning. Then later she can still add the aged look....brilliant 😍😍😍
Absolutely sublime! Gothic without being too overt, Victorian without being stodgy or kitsch, with modern convenience nuances...just unreal. Such a talent, perfection!
Oh my goodness. Is there anything you can not do?
I think I’d literally cry from amazement if I walked into this room as a guest. It’s the most beautiful, thoughtful, artistic, and carefully curated room 🥹🖤 wow. Just wow.
This woman is a vision. An icon. An artist. An absolute treasure. ✨
Your character, grace, beauty, creativity and charm are otherworldly, Christine.
Well said Adam. I couldn’t agree more. True talent !!
Yes, well said
How is it possible she doesn’t have millions of subscribers yet ? She deserves it ❤
I thought the same thing.
I predict she will have 1 million by next year -this stuff is spellbinding !! What a TALENT?!
The honest answer is that she doesn’t post consistently enough. The RUclips algorithm is HUGE on pushing creators that have super consistent and close schedules. I’ve seen it happen too often to the most talented wonderful creators.
@@Adventurous-Emma best answer. Her channel is quality over quantity in every sense
Coz she doesn't post often
What Christine is doing, is not only preserving the history of the house, but creating a literal future museum too. One day, many, many years into the future, I could imagine this becoming a place to visit, in which they'll say 'This historic house was the abode of Christine McConnell, who added her own twist over the years.' Amazing future legacy. Beautiful current home! x
Omg yes! Love it
I felt exactly the same way but it was a future Museum of what was lost in the past! Thank God somebody didn't get this beautiful home I'm paying over the beautiful wood with white paint. People tend to get beautiful victorians and cannibalize them into apartments and put up ugly plaster. You rock Christine!
@@jennifergrant5427so true
Like a modern day Sarah Winchester and her mystery house
@@erinthevirgo We were thinking along the same lines! :)
Truly an artist..it’s unreal how one person can be so inspired AND have the talent to pull it off perfectly…
I don’t think I’ll ever get over how unbelievably talented you are …let alone the patience and commitment…it’s unreal
She is literally the most vivacious woman. She’s so passionate, tenacious, and overall committed to every little thing she does. I aspire to be even a fraction of what she is 😩💖
Same! She’s like that cool aunt you look up to. I hope to be like her one day.
It would be an honor to be a guest in a room that’s been so meticulously decorated. I seriously couldn’t imagine how breathtaking and comforting this room would be to rest in
Just as long as you don't mind rats. 🙂
I love the room though, so beautiful and creative. I'm fine with the rat paintings too.
If I had a house with a guest bedroom like that, I'd be moving the guests into my 'old' room! 😂 I'd be in this restored permanently!
You spark my soul with your magic.....you make me wish I had lived a lifetime in your creations. Thank you for giving all of us an escape to the wonder of your journey. I'd go anytime with you....at 70 seasons I doubt I'll ever experience such beauty.
My grandfather was an amazing artist and taught art for 30+ years. He always said “The more you put into something, the more you get out of it.” This is proof! ❤️
A Christine McConnell hotel would be a wonder to behold. I hope that one day it becomes a reaility.
The portrait of your Mother is so compelling, it's just a masterpiece!
Your talent is literally ENDLESS, you are going to go down in history as one of the most underrated artists of the century. I appreciate every single little detail, everything is meticulously planned. It’s insane. I love it so so much. ❤❤❤
Our spooky queen is back and making magic for us to enjoy! I love the process and the outcome ooo I can’t handle it!
I just cannot believe a human being can be so talented. Every time I see your videos I’m in complete awe!
I know! I don't understand it. How did she develop these skills? And such variety!
I just discovered this channel and I. Am. Floored. How someone can be so talented in many areas, that is. I could barely use Photoshop, create a visual artwork by hand, do ornate woodwork, and even do basic renovation work (and she's clearly great at all of them). What even shocks me MORE is how none of the top comments don't even celebrate this fact.
Guys, I finally may have found our century's renaissance man--I mean, woman!
I know! Every time I'm like... but how? I mean, she has the right tools for the job, but seriously! It's too much! And why is she also so beautiful?? Is she human?@@Lewej1
Oh my … 😳 the level of creativity that she brought to those walls!!! I have never in my 43 years seen something and fallen in love with it any faster than I did that design! Bravo!!
Thank you for not harming any real antiques in the making of this video. You have no idea how much that is appreciated.
Your originality, creativity and artistry are unparalleled!!! It's like you aren't human! But those bruises prove you are! I'm glad you're ok, and the sacrifice was worth it. The room is DIVINE! So inspiring! Bravo!
It’s funny that’s exactly what I said. Unparalleled! Literally the most talented person on RUclips!
Patience truly is your superpower, Christine. I've enjoyed every minute of watching this transformation on Patreon. The finished room has left me gobsmacked. Your talent is wickedly magnificent.
This is not just a bedroom, it's a piece of art. A master piece! ❤
I will never get over that wall treatment. Incredible work.
Seeing the injury from the fall was Heartbreaking!! She truly suffers for the art ✨🤌🏻✨
Omg Christine! This was incredible!! I wish HGTV or Magnolia would just give you a show doing THIS! You have so much artistic talent and heart for history. I’m a photographer and your attention to detail is something that makes my creative mind swoon. BRAVA
Either that or give her a second season of her amazing Netflix show ;-;
@@namtellectjoonal7230 THIS ^^ ! I LOVED it! The only thing is I loved the back story with what was going on in the house so much it kinda distracts from how amazing her skill set really is and how deep it goes. I feel like she needs two shows, one with Rose and the characters and another just showing off her restoration and creative skills. Christine if you’re looking at these….I LOVED YOUR NETFLIX SHOW SO MUCH!! 😭
@@namtellectjoonal7230I second this I love the show! Also the cute characters and how she interacted with them. Why can't Netflix continue this I agree with the one guy why disenchantmented gets a second season but not this! I wanted to see what she would do for Christmas. Plus other holidays and see how the story progresses. But no it got cancelled anything unique interesting Netflix chops it. My husband even enjoyed the show! Plus my brother. We really enjoyed Rankles and Rose's antics. Plus how dirty Netflix did to the dark crystal prequal too. It was shameful they won awards on that and didn't renew a second season.
She's too good for HGTV
@@sabinaflapperina1300Boy, that's the truth.
Insane talent! Your mother's picture is stunning in the makeover - she is a natural beauty in her original photo as well. Your patience with complex projects astounds me every time. That bed - WOW! Your guests will never leave, LOL. The videography and editing is top tier as always. I can't imagine the amount of planning and perfect positioning of items that is done to get the shot. Thank you!🔥😍
I can see why this room took a year. Your attention to detail is amazing. Well worth the wait, it's beautiful!!
the imagination, the artistry, the mood, the patience and most of all the hysterical pets and appreciation for the other animal residents....my kind of show.
God please don’t stop making videos. You are the most unique and creative RUclipsr I’ve ever seen. 😫
Everytime Christine works her magic wand, I am genuinely and endlessly amazed.
Employee of a Tractor Supply here, glad you were able to find what you needed for this project there. I would love to sleep in this room as the wise owl watches over me and safeguards my dreams. Beautiful as always.
Christine McConnell, you bring such spooky comfort to my soul. Never stop what you're doing. You're an inspiration to all 🎃💞🎃
No matter how many spooky creators come along, Christine McConnell remains the queen of gothic.
Your mother is SO beautiful. I literally gasped when I saw her high school senior picture. Wow
I feel like this room conservatively took her a year to put together. Absolutely beautiful Christine!
In the previous video she said that the room has been taking her 8 months and “it’s almost done” so I think it actually took her around 9-10 months tops. Amazing.
@@camech9589 WHAT?! I thought this was in the works for 2-3 years...
A year was my guess as well 😵💫
Yes!!! It's Autumn, dark nights are returning and Christine is back ...life is back to normal ❤
As an artist myself, I have to admit that I’m pretty hard to impress. But wow…. that wallpaper was really stunning. The layers were so well designed, the creatures played beautifully with the shapes and character of the original wallpaper. At first I was a bit thrown off by the choice of brown as a base color but it really came together. You never cease to amaze me!
Right!! She seems to always have tricks up her sleeve that turn out masterpieces! So beautiful!
I thought it was a color called ashes of roses, sort of a deep muddy rose pink color.
She's like the god level boss of RUclips DIY!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤😊
I hope that old couple is haunting that house, so they can see all of your beautiful effort to restore their home. Marvelous.
I've been a patron for a good while and to anyone considering it - it's absolutely worth it! And the room looks absolutely amazing!
Is it on patreon? I have been super interested.
First off, I'm so glad you're ok after taking such a nasty fall off the ladder! Secondly, this room is just... I'm trying to think of the right words and there are none to describe how glorious it is! You always amaze me with the amount of talent, patience, and passion you have. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
RUclips needs to have an award for people who are as dedicated to the craft as you❤❤
They way you mix modern technology and vintage visuals and pieces is truly the most magical aspect of your craft. Your talent will always be such an inspiration and wonder to me.
Exactly, it's a wonderful approach
now THIS is the type of DIY/ remodeling/ decorating/ bedroom tour video I wanna see
I know everyone says you should have an HGTV show, Christine, but HGTV is not the be-all-end-all. I feel like what you do is so much more impressive and involved than any of their other designer's shows. Chip and Joanna could never.
I can hardly believe that a single person can be so artistically talented in every way. I 'm a barely sentient blob next to this incredible woman! That wallpaper is unbelievably amazing! 🖤❤
And do it looking like she stepped out of a magazine while doing it! Mind boggling. I look a mess…paint on my hands,hair,clothes and possibly the floor as well!
" I 'm a barely sentient blob next to this incredible woman!" I feel this too!
I JUST CAN'T......what??? I just have to say - this is spectacular!! First, I am so glad you are ok, that had to have hurt like h*ll, and the recovery time couldn't have been easy. Second, EVERY little detail, WOW!! You are an incredible artist in every way. I love your fur babies, and the fact the live in the house and on the furniture-just part of the family!! Then....your creative art with your mother, a beautiful lady, then the owners, I can only imagine they were very pleased, btw, do they haunt the place? LOL!! Then all the time in dyeing and the pleating, and swagging and hand sewing the decorative trim....OH AND THEN, the WALLS!!! What?? I LOVE the little critters and the owls!!! Owls are so special! I really could go on and on, I learn so much from each video. Thank you for all you share.
Guests?! Imagine being a guest in that house 😍
She works at a genius level...it's insane how creative and resourceful she is!
I love this idea of photoshopping the photos to make them more personal and sweet, this was a really neat idea 😊
It almost looks like your mother was their daughter (because of the modified painting of her being hung in the same room), and that’s why you now own the house, because it was ‘your’ grandparents’ place
Is there anything you can't do? Everything looks amazing. That vanity is gorgeous. I love the picture of your mom and the original owners. Such special things to add to the room.
I love the way you honor your mom! Also the way you brought the owners back to life and youth.
You should make a line of wallpapers because that was AMAZING!
Not even Disney would be able to replicate this masterpiece. What an incredible talented woman. Unreal.
i am absolutely NEVER this calm during renovations of ANYTHING. christine's calmness is so admirable! another perfect renovation.
Christina please have your wall patten and made into wall paper and it will sell I am interested since I will never have your talent everything turned out beyond my expectations , you are beyond talented you are master of all. Thank you for sharing this video with us❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your videos always exceed already high expectations by a million! I am in awe of your skills and dedication, it’s like nothing is daunting for you, nothing deters you from creating your vision.
I was not prepared for the awesomeness of the finished result, it’s so beautiful and cohesive, like a masterpiece.
So many complex projects in one single room...!
I don’t think I blinked throughout the whole video, every detail was precious 😊❤
It's always such a treasure to see every new creation. Most of us realize that we could never stay there, but I'm sure if you were to ever open a Bed and Breakfast, it would be booked years in advance. 😂
The photo that you recreated of your mother is breathtaking.
The quality in absolutely everything you do is astounding! Never stop living the fantasy so many of us dream of!
Wow! You have got to be the most creative and talented person in home restoration in the whole world! Every episode is worth the wait! The wallpaper is unbelievable! 😍
I fell through a five gallon pail and not realized that pvc can become brittle after some years or exposed to sun light. It hurt like crazy. I’m glad you healed and finish this project, it looks really nice. Love old victorian homes. Mine was built in 1813 and also a work in progress.
It would just be wonderful in your 1813 home Christina’s wallpaper in one of your rooms also, good luck Elizabeth
Why has it taken You Tube so long to recommend these videos to me. The artistic ability, sense of style and perfect presentation that Christine has achieved here is something to behold.
You are a true artist at everything you undertake… from carpentry, seamstress, interior design of your own unique designs, painting, digital graphic art… absolutely _EVERYTHING_ !
And… a snappy dresser! 😁
I have a feeling that if anyone can create a time machine, Christine McConnell could.
Thank you for taking me back through time to a place I've never known, but have always loved. ❤
The room is so haunting and gorgeous. The wall stencil is my favorite! I love how you included the rats into the design. Also lovely seeing miss Werewolf, as I know she isn't usually as into being recorded as the other poofs. She's really grown into the most gorgeous witches familiar.
i have never actually GASPED at a room reveal, you're a literal icon i swear. and perfect timing because we just started halloween shopping lol. hauntingly spectacular
It makes me smile to see you bring this beautiful home I grew up seeing every day back to life.
Your artistic ability always has me in complete awe🖤 so sorry you got hurt and I hope you are healing well 🖤
I can imagine snugling in that room reading HP Lovecraft. Your future guests are lucky, not just because it’s a beautiful room but that they will feel honoured and special surrounded by your craftsmanship. I always love when your videos, the process and final result and most importantly the aesthetic is out of this world.
A video of Christine restoring a 150 year old bedroom? Is it my birthday??
When I was at boarding school we had picture rails in the bedrooms. We weren’t allowed to hang things on the walls, but we would hang fabric and drapery from the railing with nails and affixed our teenage posters to it instead. I thought this was for practicality with all of the girls coming and going each year; I didn’t realize it was a historical element in homes. Makes sense! You did an absolutely beautiful job. I adore your videos.
There's being creative and then there's having the skill to execute it - you have both.
I am so blown away and just in complete amazement how you transformed this bedroom. To bring life back to a bedroom that dates as far back as 150 years is just breathtaking. The beauty that you are able to capture in your projects goes far beyond anything I’ve ever seen before and the fact that you incorporate so much of your uniqueness & authenticity into your work is just beyond extraordinary. You have a gift Christine and it truly shows in everything you do. Thank you for sharing these beautiful videos. ❤ I’m also definitely going to be checking out the owl wallpaper. I’m a huge lover of owls and the way you incorporated/stenciled them into your wallpaper was absolutely beautiful 🦉🤎
I cannot begin to express the awe and wonder I have for your work. The wallpaper is a stunning, beautifully-creepy masterpiece that I hope stays in that home for generations and generations. The portrait you did of your mother, and the de-aged portraits were nothing short of a modern-day miracle that made my heart swell and my eyes tear-up. Thank you for posting this video.
Christine, I'm almost speechless. What you have done in this room is beyond incredible. Everything you do is stunning but this one really ticks all the boxes. My favorite feature has to be the portraits that you recreated for your mother and the former owners. That is such a personal touch and adds so much charm to this room. I wish I was your mom!
The narration is melodious, it invites you to listen to every detail of the creation.
The touches of humor, the adorable little furry assistants, the ideas for recreating a wall decor, the general elegance that emerges from the atmosphere. I love this attention to detail, the meticulousness of the handmade work, the tribute to your mother is absolutely fabulous, the lamps, the portraits, the scenography, everything is stunning.
I loved this video, thank you!
As usual you've blown me away. This room is a DREAM! And now you can tell your guests that the bed fabric has all been specially "Poofed" just for them.
I have never seen anyone as talented as you... your projects are absolutely stunning and I am always amazed by all the things you can do!
I'am so sorry for the fall, pain and the bruises! 😱 But what an amazing video again. When I think I cannot be more impressed with your work, you prove me wrong. Time after time. What a wonderful human you are. Love your pets too. I'm so impressed. ❤
Christine! There isnt a single episode that I miss, and on allll of the content you've put out.. The magnitude of effect is stratospheric. I have NEVER seen a space as elaborately cultivated as this one. I am a former interior designer like your mom, and Im certain you have just dazzeled her as well. Speechless.
i’m so glad that you’re actually good at these things you do, i can only imagine an amateur trying to do a “faux wood” paint job 😭
Enchanting. Christine, you've outdone yourself. This wallpaper is eerie, spooky and makes you slightly uncomfortable. Yet, you can't stop gazing at it. It blows my mind what your mind can do. Another great episode!
Spectacular! Every detail is so amazing; the walls, the franken furniture, the bed dressings, the re-done photographs! I especially like the one of your mom. When you say it took sooooo long to completion I believe you!
I am always in awe of your skill and creativity, but that bruise was equally impressive. Congratulations on the wallpaper manufacture!
So much admiration for Christine ... Amazingly talented and creative and a classic beauty .
Just when I think she’s outdone herself!!! BRAVA CHRISTINE!
It is always a wonderful surprise to see Christine pop up on my notification. This one was a doozy. so many little extra touches that brought that room together. I am never disappointed, but truly left in shock at the vision you have for a space, then execute that vision into a work of art!
Yippee skippee a new video!!
Oh my goodness gracious me. What an absolutely beautiful authentic room. From your fall to the end of the room I was mesmerised by everything. I'm glad you were not hurt any worse than your bruises thank you so much for sharing.
I could not stop saying (out loud) “you have got to be kidding me.” This is the most extensive amazing beautiful project I’ve ever seen. I can’t even imagine how long it took… it did make me feel better to know that the gold airbrushing itself took a week (so I can’t be too hard on myself for not having time to do some of my own house projects). This is just amazing.
I am genuinely at a loss for words. There's no language on this planet that could describe how magically beautiful this turned out. Every detail from the moulding, the creation of the wall pattern, the vanity, the pictures of the original owners, just EVERYTHING and your talent! wow wow wow
"I've known this for some time but Professor Poof is a terrible sewing assistant."
*kitteh clawing satin noises*
I love what you did with your mom's picture! It is such a beautiful tribute to her ❤️
Not only is your imagination and talent astounding, but the patience it takes for you to achieve these stunning results leaves me in awe. A beautiful room to honour the original owners.
Magic! I have owls in my woods- carved wood & horn, & ceramic owls in my house, along with black cats & wolfdogs!
How is she so good at EVERYTHING??? Even doing her own hair !!!!!!!!!!!
Christine - you are a steward of what you've been given and blessed with in such beautiful ways. It is inspiring to see you encourage people to restore, DIY, be creative, reuse, thrift, and also just to watch you be a caretaker for that mansion.
Where to begin...I was excited that you were finally able to video a thunderstorm and it was great seeing all the fur babies! What a wonderful tribute to the Richardsons and your mom. And then when the full reveal came up I literally teared up. Stunning!!
