OH. MY GOODNESS. THIS HOUSE, I AM SCREAMING
Bernadette Banner Me too, Bernadette. Me too. 🤤 Now to watch your pirate shirt video 🤗
You will HAVE to come for a visit :D
Bernadette!! Holy moly you’re a fan too?? Only the most magical people watch Christine’s works of art, I should have figured. 😊🖤⭐️
Christine McConnell This is a friendship made in heaven, I swear!!
@@ChristineHMcConnell welcome to the east coast! Looking forward to seeing the new house! Greetings from Buffalo!
Good grief, its almost an Addams Family Mansion. I CAN NOT wait to see what she makes this place into. !!
exactly what I thought! She is Betty Crocker meets Morticia Addams! This house is perfect!
Uh, it IS an Addams family mansion.
Me too!
It is going to be E X Q U I S I T E
My thoughts exactly, I adore her almost as much as Morticia Addams, she is so worthy of that house, it's an absolute dream!
It’s all fun and games until your cleaning lady looks down on you from one of the windows. Then you realize you don’t have a cleaning lady... 😵
Lol....RIGHT!!!!!!
As long as she still cleans!
🤣🤣
Rebekah G the house looks amazing, so I’m gonna go ahead and assume she is on top of her game.
😂😂😂
Everything about this lady is CAREFUL, full of care. From her speech, to her dress, to her work. For that alone, I appreciate her.
She's a true artist, through and through.
@@JM-mr6pzYOU’RE GOD DAMN RIGHT!!!
This house has waited it’s entire existence for Christine to arrive.
@@ragedrephaim5570 wow that's amazing.
great reply!!
Literally
@Blue art Hills go away nasty troll. You obviously wouldn’t know love and beauty if it whacked you with a holy book!
Long lost ancestor to the house... Meets practical magic..lol
This video is incredible, thank you for making this o.O
hey garrett! nice to see you here!
Eyyyy its Garrett. I agree, this video is incredible. I love how smooth the shots look. A lot of the mountain clips looks like perfect backgrounds for desktops and things like that.
Garrettt you and Christine should do a ghost hunt collab👻😂😊
What a pleasant surprise! One of the raddest humans on the planet is also a fan of this super
Cool human being :D
this video just got recommended to me and now I know why
That's a house and a half, Christine! You're going to love the East coast. Lots of old spooky graveyards, rain, no deserts, great food, four seasons...I'm so happy for you and that you also got to keep your CA home. I can't wait to see how you fix up the old mansion. :-)
Jade Strawberry I noticed that they did drive past a cemetery on the way to her new home! 😉
@@JMarieCAlove Yes, I noticed that, too. They were there to welcome them to the neighborhood.
I'm jealous. Texas is extra awful this year 🙄🙄
In my opinion the east coast palette is still too colonial cuz it's almost impossible to get spicy food outside of big cities. I've legit heard people describe bell peppers as too spicy here in Albany, like what?? But the autumn sunrises over the Adirondacks are such a gorgeous sight (second only to spring sunsets over the Colorado Rockies)
@@delicateghoul Who the hell said bell peppers are spicy? I'm from Albany and I'd honestly like to have a talk with them... Lol!
I am so sad the Netflix show didn't have more episodes, super happy I found you on youtube Christine!!
I Knowwwwww
What is the Netflix show called please? I am only a new subscriber to this channel and would love to check it out
@@tsreiki The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell - Netflix
I almost cried when there wasn't a 2nd season. Her show was everything I love.
Hey Christine!! This house used to be in my family for a very long time! My grandma and dad both remember spending time here, my dad’s great Aunt Jennie lived there 🥰 keep an eye out for her spirit, apparently a previous owner said she felt her there. If you feel a presence, ask for Jennie! I’m from the town the house is in (for your privacy I’ll keep that on the downlow) but I’m so glad to see it’s staying with someone who will continue to love it as it deserves to be loved! I’m subscribing for sure!
We must be related then. This is The Richardson Shepherd Mansion,... Built by my Great Great Grandfather Thomas Richardson,.. I am Thomas Richardson Shepherd III
WhoAreThesePeople yeh the house was built by Jennies father, and she lived in it when she got older with her nephew Thomas Shepard. Y’all got a cool family history
Okay now EVERRRYONE have lived in this house lol 🙂
Hey neighbor, I live around the corner. I have been in the mansion many times! When I rode by the other day and saw it sold, I was thrilled!
Basia The house is famous, Wikipedia page and all. If anyone wanted to find her a reverse image search would be enough. She would have to never ever show her house if she was really determined to be private which of course she isn’t going to do. So I guess she should build some high wall of something 🤷🏻♀️
Christine sees house: “Oh, s**t” 😂😂😂
finally!!!! i've been dying for new content from you!!!
I love her honest reaction - and what a fantastic video, very relaxing and interesting.
That’s when you know it’s real! LOL
This is absolutely incredible Christine! My parents got married in that mansion (Chisholm Place) 27 years ago!! They still live very close by! I hope you and your family enjoy it!!
What is Chisholm Place? She is showing the Thomas Richardson House in the video.
Omg did you show them this video? That is amazing!
Not to be a downer but I rly hope you didn't reveal the actual name of the mansion where she is going to live on the Internet? ^^
@@rockandrattleretreat5830 it was also known as Chisholm place at one time..
I linked an article above tells a little about the history of the home 😁
@@KatsuragiNamika I think in this case it does not really matter, because it is mentioned in Wikipedia.
House's like this have so much soul and history, and this house could not have a better owner.
I was just complaining to my roommate that I blamed him for showing me the Netflix series, and then felt lost when I binged all the episodes in a night. Only to discover her RUclips channel...which I binged in a night and then felt lost once again.
But here we are with a fantastic new episode. 💜💚
Her patreon has tons of extra videos if you haven’t checked it out yet!
CelloAfterDark What do you want to bet they’ll binge those too?
Kat Brown also have to love the user name “my_butt”! Genuinely made me laugh 😆 😀. I’m fully ready to re-watch the Netflix episodes!
It's like.....you need as much attention as she does!!!
sinmore11 I don’t know what you mean, can you rephrase?
The town looks like it’s straight out of a movie!
@PINE SHIMMER Steven King lived in Northern NY. And some of his movies shot in them.
The House With The Clock In It’s Walls 💁🏻♂️
The exterior reminds me of the Marsten house from the 1979 TV miniseries of Salem's Lot.
She shows traveling thru little falls which is like 10 min from the house she bought. That is where they filmed the opening scene of a quiet place.
ivori countryman I grew up one town over from Little Falls got married at Beardslee castle.... so excited to see where she ends up while watching this video
‘I have this kind of fantasy of showing up at the house looking nice for the ghosts when we first arrive’ I love that 🥺
This was phenomenally well made. Very cool to watch, new subscriber.
Thank you so much! :D
same here! i am in awe! :-D
Is her channel canceled? What’s going on she hasn’t posted anything at all?
and she never updated again
@@juniorsir9521 she posts most of her content privately on Patreon, the house proved to be a lot more than she expected (it wasn’t quite livable, there was a bat infestation, just a lot of upgrades needed) so she’s slowed her content to just Patreon at the moment, but says there’ll be more public RUclips content in the future, once things are a little more settled. Definitely go check out her Patreon!
Omg I’m so happy your keeping your California home!! As much as I felt extreme excitement seeing the video notification my heart broke knowing all that delicate and amazing work would leave your possession and girl I know you’re sentimental because people who aren’t do NOT craft THIS!!
Super excited to see the next magic you make 🙏🏻
Your ability to tell a story both verbally and visually is great, the little snapshot of OREOS and loving grandma, brought tears to my eyes.
Awesome adventure can’t wait!
This house was built by my family. I used to play in this house as a child as my Mom would visit her Aunt. It is an amazing house!
That is interesting. Do you have any photos? I'm getting a vibe that a woman protects it ..
The house has American Horror Story vibes written all over it.
it screams murder house
@@joanolita660 its the East coast version 😂
I've been in this house before. I remember standing in the driveway, looking up through the "overgrowth" all over the place (It wasn't kept well at the time) and thinking....good god be with me, something's just not right here. Then I stepped through that 12 foot high door, and life was instantly transformed in a second. All thoughts of dark and dreary were soon put to flight. Beautifully charming, that huge staircase jumps right out at you screaming "CLASS"! Suddenly, there was a feeling of peace and Love, and content. There's something good here, I remember thinking.
Omg its everything!
Or it also reminds me a ton of the house from The Haunting Of Hill House!
Imagine my complete and utter shock when you arrive at the house and I recognize it! I've driven by that house a bazillion times, and I'm so glad somebody bought it!
Where in upstate is it?! So intrigued. Live in upstate myself!
@@xorenehope it's in one of the northern counties of the NYS Leatherstocking region :) it's a beautiful area. It's going to be stunning in the fall when all the leaves change.
The Village of Ilion, Herkimer County, New York, United States
I am so *intrigued*
Yes
I swear every comment of yours I find is “I’m so intrigued” 😂
I love how you decorated your home. I’m looking forward to seeing what your do in your mansion.
Just when I thought I was going to bedLOL!
I love how she is so open with us. And nobody better ruin that! Fight me!!!
Same! 😁
Me too!
I relate heavily.
“Fight me!!!”😂😂😂😂
Seconded!
Oh my god! I thought houses like this only existed in the movies these days!!! Jaw dropping house. Also NY is so much more green and lush than I thought. Guess I've only ever seen footage of NYC but this really took me by surprise!
Thats what ive heard, I live at most 30 Minutes from this house. Upstate new york is truly beautiful, from the Catskill Mountains to the Adirondacks. A lot of people think that it is cities and no scenery but we have over 1500 lakes and sights to behold. Check it out sometime when you can.
@@chandlerpatterson7665 that sounds beautiful. Yes I have to say I have never fancied NYC as it looks so busy and concrete but visiting outside sounds like a completely different experience, and a really interesting one.
@@chandlerpatterson7665 the Adirondacks are beautiful but I hate when tourists or people on vacation come here. The traffic is terrible on holidays and in the summer
I’ve lived in different parts of New York State my entire life....it is mostly small towns with lakes and mountain ranges, river valleys and of course the large metropolitan area of New York City. I don’t live there, but don’t discount the fabulous things you can discover there! It is a beautiful state!
@@Dandylionbee amazing! It really sounds like a beautiful place, and just still amazed how different New York is from my perception of what is was. Definitely interested in adding it to my visit list.
I actually cried watching this! Imagine having a dream of owning a house like this, and working hard and finally purchasing it!
So inspiring. ❤️
@Kara Jones I get teared up as well. When I was younger, I dreamt of owning a house like this, and I am so happy to see the dream come true for someone.
I did too.😭
How wonderful.
So happy for Christine.
So glad I wasn't the only one crying, lol
My 8 year old daughter has seen every one of your episodes and is one of your very biggest fans. She legitimately Googled how far New York is from where we live and was like "MOM, IT'S ONLY LIKE 7 HOURS AWAY! WE COULD BRING HER A HOUSEWARMING GIFT"
So just know that you inspire an 8 year old girl so much that she wants us to take a 14 hour round trip to deliver you a present to congratulate you on moving to the East Coast. 🤣
After seeing the realtor sign and recognizing the area code as one used in my area, I realized she’s only about two hours from me now! I’m sure she’s going to love it. Upstate/Western NY is such a beautiful area. Makes me sad that people only think of NYC when they think of New York because of how beautiful the rest of the state really is.
That is so sweet!
@@marlarosso Honestly, isn't it? She's hoping that Christine will host or appear at some ticketed events once covid is done. If she does, we are taking a much needed girl's weekend and GOING. My little Abby- Mae would be so happy!
@@thecreatedvoid117 I'm just above Fort Drum in the North Country and my family back in Ohio can't believe we have Amish communities and dairy farms up here. NYC steals the spotlight, but the vineyards and bays and lakes are really where it's at!
This is adorable
That house is gorgeous. Please, film all the make overs and renovations and let me live vicariously through you!
Were you under the impression she wasn’t going to....? Of course she is that’s what her channel is
@@Hey_Jamie yes but on patreon so people like me cannot watch it as I am in a country where the exchange rate to the dollar is way above my price range. Hope she posts a few on you tube though. xx
@@Hey_Jamie she didn't lol
@@lorrainewilliams2295 She posts some stuff on here and instagram, but there are patreon-exclusive videos as well because she's gotta make money, too.
@@lorrainewilliams2295 ...She literally explains that, and her reasons seem legit. She was moving into a new house.
And tbh, after the shitshow that was 2020, I think I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and believe her when she says she's just been dealing with stuff and will be uploading more public content soon.
I grew up around the corner from this house. Truly is one of a kind!
I don't know if I'm more stoked for Christine, or for the house and it's ghosts.
But seriously I am super stoked for you and yours! :)
This may have been the straw that broke the camel's back...I think I've waited long enough. I believe it is time for me to become a patron!
Same!!
Same!
It’s so worth it!! She puts out tons of extra content on patreon!
I just joined and I'm beyond happy at all the new things I have to watch. She puts so much work and magic into the videos. You're going to love it
You can save your money, invest in your career and don't need to pay for someone else's dream.
I’ve never clicked a notification this fast before 💕💕
Omg the house is glorious, I’m so happy for you!
Lol agreed
Me too!
Same!
Same! Was just headed to bet and was like-hold up!
I know the people standing on the porch were the realtors, but they looked like ghosts come to greet you 😁
Lol
Christine needs another Netflix show where we see the process of decoration of each room!
Hearing Christine McConnell, lady of magic and mystery, saying "oh shit".
If 2020 gave us nothing else, it gave us this. Small gifts.
Did you see how the video glitched when she said "sh*t"??
That was freaky.
And now we wait for all the ghost stories that shall come from this house.
I can’t wait!!
I enjoyed seeing this all over again-can’t believe it’s been two years! You make the most mundane things magical.
Wow! Such a cool story, Christine! Can’t believe you bought such a spooky mansion sight, unseen! Its especially cool for us, as we literally live a few hundred steps away from the property! We can’t wait to see what you do with the mansion and all of its spookiness. Welcome to the neighborhood!
Hi Amanda, Its Thomas Shepherd. So cool to see my family home in good hands!
Are there some good ghosts? 😀
When I saw she said upstate NY I was teasing my fiancé about “I wanna go trick or treating at Christine’s!” Sadly we’re not actually upstate (though out of towners who think anything that isn’t NYC is upstate say otherwise) and are a few hours away from her. I do hope the kids have fun who can stop by though (assuming she’s doing Halloween of course ^_~)
I literally live thousands of steps from the property. Someone from Japan literally lives millions of steps and a plane ride. Who cares about literally anything. Just say I live a few hundred steps away. So many people are adding this one words it’s grossly overused.
@@remlya Relaaax my dude language is literally fluid.
a strange, beautiful woman moves into town, to the mysterious old mansion
*perfect scenario for a great movie*
Welcome to New York! We've been waiting for you...
This rolled into my feed again, 2 years after the original post date. I cannot believe it has already been 2 years since you acquired the property! What a fun journey it has been watching you as the new caretaker of such a beautiful property.
"looking nice for the ghosts when we first arrive" Oh my gosh I love this woman.
That house is screaming for a rose garden.
I was thinking a willow tree like the one in Harry Potter. But roses would compliment it yes :P
French fragrant roses.Yes.
@@QueenlySweetpea A tree house! Cool!
turning the old house into a bed and breakfast would be a good idea! that way you can keep the house, make money off it, and share it with people who will appreciate the time and effort you put into making it beautiful! just a thought.
It used to be one! Many of these old homes in Upstate along the Erie Canal are B&B's now.
That wwould be an excellent idea for normal people.... But Miss Christine has 12,000 Patreon members who fund her every month!
IKR? or more like a themed air bnb?
She has so many irreplaceable antiques I'd be worried about damage
As a lifelong fan of The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland I can say, you have managed to recapture the exact vibe I love about it
I was smiling like an idiot when you guys pulled into the drive! The wrap around porch is screaming for 1000 pumpkins!!! Oh, I’m so excited for you!!!
“I have this fantasy of looking good for the ghosts”. Blessing souls with your fabulous self even in death. Congratulations!!!
Oh my god !!! I’m so happy for you! We bought a house with my husband and i’m seriously thinking of hand painting every wall in the house 😂 so thank you !! ❤️ love from France 🌸
Thank you so much Christine for including us on your amazing adventure! Looking forward to your new creations!!!
Oh my gosh! I only just watched your house tour today and was wondering if you’d ever move, as you said you hoped to eventually. This is so exciting!
I love your music ^_^
Two of my favourite channels in the one place. Loved your Jolene cover.
OMG, I was just introduced to your channel... You are amazing :D
I love your music, Christine please set up her up as background music for a segment of your RUclips show. Would like for that to happen, blessed be )0(
My dream as a little girl and as a woman was to own a historical home. Congratulations to you! Living the dream.
deborah DeborahR thank you! I’ll have to check it out next time I drive across country
Girl, you better invest in some high quality water filters. This town has boil water advisories every couple of months. Kudos to you for making this town seem a lot nicer than it is.
I second this. The tap water here destroys coffee makes and washing machines. You can’t really drink it so have water delivered. The water was literally brown for a few months. Get filters installed ASAP.
I was looking at some of the real estate around there to see the vintage houses and was surprised how cheap they are! Is there not a lot of jobs or industry there?
Oh now I know why some yt have water delivered because they literally can’t drink it. I’m in city/country but our water is great.
Kat M not really... The area has been struggling a bit for decades. We're in a region informally known as The Rust Belt. However, there has been a lot of initiative recently to boost the local economy and preserve a rather cool history 🤷🏻♀️ There are lots of really beautiful and inspiring old homes around here, some needing more love than others lol
She could also get water conditioning units. Probably a water softener. She probably would need an iron and sulfur filtration device and then a reverse osmosis unit for drinking water. The other units to condition water are important because sulfur and iron will kill an RO unit.
Drove by last Monday and saw so many pumpkins on the steps. It looked lovely.
Okay so, I was scrolling through my recommended and thought "omg that's the house down the street from me!" -and sure enough, I click and watch and it is! I've been obsessed with this house as long as I've lived in town and I can't wait to see what you do with it! It's so mysterious and beautiful and welcome to town!! ☺️ Congratulations on your new home! I thought I saw people outside filming! It must have been you!
Where is this located?
Growing up in Ilion, I always wondered about this place!
@@Jan-2020 I live in the area near by too and go there alot. My family lives there.
What a gorgeous place!!
Thank you and I LOVE your videos! :D The 60's one you did recently was incredible :))
@@ChristineHMcConnell Aw thanks so much!! :)
@@ChristineHMcConnell Glad you have means available to you. You're about to discover what actual winter heating costs are in NY in a 19th century home with o insulation and single-pane glass. BUY SWEATERS! But you'll look good.....
This house is YOU Christine!!
My four year old said “wow! That’s the prettiest house I’ve ever seen! It’s the biggest house in the world!”
Little does he know that one of his Christmas presents is a Victorian doll house 😅💜
@@QueenlySweetpea Not from "Victorian times", no. Just a replica. He gets the furniture as an advent calendar together with his sister :)
@@ChibiAnna I love the advent idea!
That’s so cute!!!!!
I had goosebumps all over my body when they reached the house. 😍 It looks like it was build for her and waiting for a century just to be Christines House.
“You gotta have faith!” IS SENDING ME 😂🤣 But holy wah!!! The ivy! 💕🌿
Oh WOW, I live in the town this mansion is in. I drive by it almost daily! I’m glad to see someone giving it the love and appreciation it deserves!! :)
THE FACT THAT you were concerned about motion sickness for your viewers is just so sweet I cannot with you, Christine! Also the house is stunning! I can't wait to see what you do with it!
I cannot tell you how many times I’ve come back to this video as a source of pure happiness and awe. I am just so excited for you! I hope you can look back on this video with the same joy!!
Ilion is my mom’s hometown. I go back every summer to visit my grandparents who have lived in their house there since the 80s, I’ve loved this Victorian my entire life. It’s so gorgeous. I would always take walks to look at it when I visited. So happy it went to someone who loves it as much as I do. Congratulations!!!
My mom is also from Ilion😀
So glad you're keeping the CA house! I was heartbroken when I first started the video, seeing you potentially sell something so beautiful that you put so much hard work into is a hard thought lol
*It looks spooky and magical* 🖤
So glad you were able to keep both houses! Look forward to the spooky October projects. Congratulations!📯♥️
I absolutely love this mansion. I can feel the energy from it by just watching the video. It’s an absolutely magical place.
As a frenchie, it creeps me out a little that you can drive for four days and still be in your country
It takes two days just to drive across Texas !
It takes 4 h to cross Belgium
It takes five days basically to drive from one side of the country try to the other side
I would also like to say this: We have a pretty big stray cat problem in this area..I wouldn't be surprised if you get a few of them prowling around the place, if you're able to, want to take any in, be careful, some of them have FIV, it would be best to bring them to a vet before exposing them to any of your cats. And unfortunately you can't just bring them straight to the humane society due to a contract with animal control having to be the ones to bring them there. (To which case they mostly don't) there's also an issue with the water main quite often needing to be fixed. (They replace parts of it but the entirety of the system is very old, so don't be surprised if you get a bunch of days with disgusting orange water, it's best to keep jugs of water with you)
oh no, hopefully someone can start a neutering program soon :(
These problems are so common in small towns across America. It's like they have all been forgotten by the big cities.
@@lilyoh5780 I wish they would, but the board proved recently that they don't care so much. They tried to vote a removal of a connection to the humane society because the "stray cat problem wasn't as bad" (a big lie, they just wanted to cut funding) the vote didn't go through, but it shows that they really didn't care.
Never trust Animal Control. There are animal rescue folks working behind the scenes everywhere. Just search and reach out.
@@mlr4524 You have to call the police station, who gets in contact with animal control who then gets in contact with the "dog warden" who is in control of the stray cats and dogs in this place, the only one the humane society is contracted under. There are rescues around, but they're all filled. Places like Springfarm cares stopped taking in stray cats from this county, basically all the local rescue places stopped taking in cats. Believe me, I've tried reaching out for years.
I cried watching this. Haven't you been baking this house into cakes, for years? Beautiful
There are so many gorgeous Victorian homes in Upstate NY, my hometown is located there definitely my most favorite place to be
My home town. Used to play in the woods around that house, and sled on the hill behind the nursing home.
Kris Ritton She drove through, and showed footage, of western Colorado, where all my family is from. I live in Colorado Springs, but drive home all the time. It’s somehow nice to see people passing through who can appreciation what’s so familiar and loved to the rest of us. ♥️ My family, on my mother’s side, came to the colonies in the 1600’s from the areas near Amsterdam. So very Dutch. Many of them lived in upstate New York. There’s a Wynkoop house that one of my great grandfathers lived in. I’ve never been to New York, but it looks beautiful. I would love to visit after COVID. Beautiful hometown you have 😊.
@@danip3270 Hey Dani. Upstate NY transplant in COS now. I'm trying to figure out which NY village she's in, but I'm only partially through the vid.
Rich Parker As she approaches the town, she passes a welcome sign for Ilion. I looked on Google Earth, but I’m not sure exactly where she is. I hope you’ve been enjoying COS. It’s grown quite a bit over the past 20 years, but it is still a great town to live in.
Used to be a B and B it’s wonderful
@Peter Grahame It sold for $329,000 back in August via public records.
I live in upstate new york, if you're nearby I really recommend walking around Albany rural cemetery, especially in the fall. It is the resting place of several famous people, including president Chester a Arthur and general Phillip Schuyler. And it's so. Freaking. Beautiful. I have some pictures on my instagram that I took a few years ago, my handle is @giannalovvey. There are so many pretty victorian angel statues to look at.
Sometimes, I would go just to look at the names on the tombstones and see what I could find about them online, for a few people, I'd find documents with actual quotes from them in historical local newspapers and such that someone scanned and uploaded online. It really makes it feel like you are sitting down and having a picnic with them, and considering the fact that no one really visits their graves anymore, I like to give them a bit of company.
My fiancé works on the campus that hosts Fort Schuyler. Since that’s the sister’s daddy referenced in Hamilton, I often just call it “Fort Daddy.”
I have been to that cemetery many times. It is so beautiful!
Lmao...really! Do you not get visited by spirits after those visits...
@@twincherry4958 I had one incident where a photo of one of the angel statues I took came out distorted and weird, but I'm not sure if that was a rare technical problem or what. Other than that, no visits from spirits at home, I always get a very warm, welcoming feeling when I go there so I don't think anyone is mad at me. Lol. I'd like to think that if there are spirits around, that they enjoy my company.
Oakwood in Troy, too!
Christine, this house is so stunning! You should be so proud! What a treasure! Thank you for the beautiful clips from your drive across the country. I cant wait to see the inside and all your upcoming projects!!! 🎃🎃🎃
HeyyBrey - same here. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇦🇺🐨
I got chills when I saw the house! Beautiful!
You think she was looking for the spirits?
Alice White maybe.. not sure, 🤷♀️💕 but I know she’s going to do a great job with decorating. Which I can’t wait to see what she does. That house is just amazing!
Yes that house is impressive
Your style is right up my alley! I just found your channel and I am in awe of your vision and talent. Congrats on the purchase of your dream home. I am so excited for you!
Omg, VenetianPrincess! Your parodies were some of my favorite of all time. Nice to see you’re still around :-)
Oh I've been so excited for this ever since you mentioned you were moving
This property looks soooooo much more expensive than the sale price, I cannot wait to see how magical it looks once Christine adds her creativity to each room. Gorgeous architecture. Wish I could pack up right now and find a neighboring property.
Agreed it looks much more expensive. I was shocked when I saw what she got it for. She said she took years of looking and I’d say it certainly paid off!
@@jessicasmith9117 how much did she get it for?
@@bettylula $329K! Incredible.
Dearest Christine, did the house sweep you into another dimension? Missing you, hope you return soon
She’s been super busy working on it to make it livable but that means less time to make content so she’s mostly just been keeping up with the Patreon content for now but that’ll change once the house gets a little more settled (still no proper kitchen and the A/C situation just got fixed). You should definitely take a peek at her Patreon though, it’s magical!
Now you can make an incredible gingerbread model of your own house and add lil cotton candy wispy ghost friends
Also, how the welcoming party on the porch looked like the spirits welcoming you? Perfection.
I'm so happy you found the new house for new projects. But incredibly glad your keeping your California home. Please make sure your pets don't get lost because they are not used to the new place. God bless your fur babies, future and home.
I’m pretty sure her pets have been microchipped and she’s a stickler about keeping them on leash or inside. She’s so loving with them. But I seem to remember her talking about it at one point in passing.
@@katwitanruna seriously? Who answers someone's suggestion like that, you need to meet _actual_ humans. Stop making your 'friends' online, it's getting sad (I heard her mention it in passing).
@@sinmore11 What was wrong with their reply?
sinmore11 WTF? It has more to do with being raised by educators, moreover, two of whom majored in English.
@@katwitanruna Does it now? Or are you just too "smart", opinionated, _lonely_ and egocentric to notice?
creepy music plays "I love tunnels"
The house is incredible, holy crap.
Also, I can hear Trixie screaming over that shout-out all the way over here in Texas.
The bird scream 😂
I'm hoping for a collab (once the pandemic is over, of course)
The architecture to the home is truly a stunning work of art! The property is equally beautiful. If it were mine, I would have to add a very tall privacy hedge along the front and where the driveway pillars are, I would add stunning, custom, vintage feel, tall gates so the pillars might have to be restructured. I would enclose it all in for privacy and noise. What you could do with landscaping alone. The landscaping!!!!! Roses. It needs a rose garden! Can't wait to see how Christine transforms this beauty! Halloween is around the corner!
This house suits her perfectly. I cannot wait to see what she's going to do with it!
I hope you're well Christine, I keep checking to see if you uploaded, I can't wait to see what you've done so far.
Me too, back to check and enjoy this video again. All her content is so heartwarming and inspirational. This house will be my dream home 🖤
She’s got several updates up on her Patreon! It was just a lot more updating to make it livable than they were expecting so she had to temporarily scale back on creating content.
@@DearxMyxSongs thank you for the update, I appreciate it.
Christine
Congratulations!!!
I’m case you would like some more history on this home feel free to contact me. My Great Great grandfather Built the home. My Great grandfather, and my father all lived there. The was with my family until the home was Sold To the Drezzlers in 1981.
Additionally My mother still lives in the area. She would be a great Historical resource.
@@Willowtree82 it's possible they're related or her family are the Drezzlers.
_So_ glad to see that she took the guy from her basement with her! What a relief. 😂😂😂😂
Christine: I have to look nice for the ghosts...
Ghosts: So much for our surprise...
but like imagine being able to afford a houses in both New York and California 😅
youtube money and patreon.
Uh huh yeah right!
She eventually sold the California House though!
I read somewhere that her Patreon income estimation was around $70,000/£55,000 a month. That’s like, double a standard yearly salary, so, yes. She could afford both, although the mountain cottage seems to have gone now.
@pumpkinpatch1059 yup she sold it a while ago according to the realtor. I also think that even with a salary like that it's only wise to sell this liability, especially if your momentary lifestyle includes renovating a massive Victorian mansion😂
Open an Airbnb Christine. You'd make a killing with your design skills. So many people would pay top dollar to stay in places like this. You could airbnb your place in California or quarter off a section of your new house or get a completely new place and redesign it. You'd be in the top places rented on Airbnb for sure.
A whole bunch of airbnb's!!
Don’t be common!
It is an air bnb!!!!
All I can say ----WOW😮
This home is glorious. I love old houses and I seriously got emotional when you drove up to it. I’m so excited for you and all of the love and work that will go into making it yours!! That porch and the IVY are breathtaking. So happy for you 🙌🏼
I did some digging and honestly, she got a really great deal for a huge house on the National Historic Register. This video was really cool and I can't wait to see the candlelit tour!
That's the old Shepherd family mansion in my town. My ancestors used to own it. Congrats, that was always my dream home as a kid 😀
The road trip footage looks very stable! How beautiful 😍😍. And I’m glad to see you’re using the mask you made- I really like it :)
I’m so EXCITED!!!! Your channel and especially Patreon has been the absolute highlight of my quarantine! ❤️❤️
Hey this is my hometown! I grew up just up the hill from you. Little Falls you showed is where I'm at now and it's where they filmed A Quiet Place. Happy to have you in the valley hope you enjoy it 🖤
Hearing that you love trixie makes my love grow for you even more! Thank you for everything you do!
Why have I never found your channel until now? The calming voice, the vintage and spooky aesthetic, the CATS! 🙌
I was wondering if Christine would land in CNY. We have a lot of old mansions from that era. Sadly many are in a state of disrepair from which they cannot be brought back. It’s great to see when someone restores them to their original grandeur. Welcome to the neighborhood Christine!
Welcome to the east coast! Please try to enjoy the bizarro weather we have out here. Can't wait to see what you're up to next. That is an absolutely STUNNING haunted house.
I hope you like upstate NY and that you find your home all you ever dreamed of and more! We are so glad you have come to this area. I can understand how you would miss your home in California though. But after awhile you will have the new home, cozy and shining just the way you want it, and you will fill us with your spooky, but yet lovely home, after all the decorating you will do, is finished, or in the process anyway!
. Cannot wait to see what you do with your new home!
Just love how your kitties and dog are so content even staying in a motel! Just as long as they have their mom and dad they are happy! Wherever you call home they are totally into it!
I find "Praying mantis" a very unusual animal. They can look so human-like in many ways and turn their head around so much to see behind them. It is shocking how they move their bodies, and you can really see their face so well! Never know whether you should be afraid or in awe?
I am 100% living for this! I couldn't wait to see it! I hope this becomes a series where we can see any renovations or restorations or just decorations! What year was it built?Congratulations! What a fantastic home.
