SHE’S BACK!!!!
For her youtube subscribers it might seem like that but from what she said herself, she quite often can be found on all kinds of other paid platforms. She just isnt fond of posting content for free
@@kirdot2011 That's fair considering all the work and effort she puts into her beautiful creations ❤️
@@Alexandra-uk4vrHer Patreon is awesome and it’s only a couple bucks a month.
My husband and I binge watch Christine!! He's even hooked. Shes amazing. Keep them coming. Her voice and music is alluring
She's on patreon now. That's y
And she has been on netflix as well.
Christine just out here casually doing professional-level plasterwork.
alot of plasterwork uses skills that she's used in cake decorating :) she has a well-developed artist's eye with the manual skills to execute them to perfection (as clearly seen here)!
I love when she posts on Reddit and the guys are like "NO WAY SHE DOES ALL THAT!" and it's like, well, she doesn't just sit online all day lol
That's because "art critics get together and talk about form and structure; artists get together and talk about where to find cheap turpentine"
Love that no one else covered her birds and that you have honored her work and added so much of yourself to the room.
So true. Glad that she brought down that shocking blue paint and eased in a matching ocher.
Came here to say the same, it was lovely the way she incorporated Carrie’s art into her aesthetic. The room looks gorgeous 💗
Christine is an AMAZING creative problem solver!
I can't believe that she stayed in the same room for 88 years!!!
BEAUTIMOUS Christine! ❤️🙏
The original family would be so happy and touched to see how lovingly and painstakingly you’ve been restoring their former home
Thats a lucky house
@@Vivaldi111 I'm sure they are hanging out watching all the work she is doing being very impressed and maybe a little weirded out haha
Her respect for the birds she painted is both likable and extremely respectable. I like people who restore rather than rip away.
I swear this woman is the real life dark cousin of Barbie, there's NOTHING this woman can't do! I'm always in pure awe at her diverse set of skills, this is beyond inspiring! 💞🦇
My toxic trait is thinking I could do anything Christine McConnell does😭 What an amazing project!
You can! It's not like she was born innately knowing how to do all this, they are skills. Skills can be learned! Sure, she clearly has a gift for artistry and aesthetics, but those are things that can be nurtured and developed over time. You can absolutely do all of this, too - don't sell yourself short. Try it - you might surprise yourself! I believe in you!
@@FaeEvergreen Awww thank you!!🥰 I will say, I did once try one of her eyeball cookies and it came out ok😂
It's not toxic :-)
@@ktktoo8462 SEEEEEE!!!! 🥰💞 You got this! Even the stuff that turns out wonky at first is good because it's just practice. Every expert was once a beginner!
My toxic trait? Who says that. Loser
Using your cat to clean the floor ! Classic 😂
That’s an alternative duster
Professor Poof gave a guest lecture at my college. It was hard to follow at times but there was an incredible gravitas that no one could deny
As someone who has lived in the Mohawk Valley most of my life, seeing you honor the original family is so special to me. Fate must have brought you to Herkimer County. The chandelier looks lovely with your gorgeous medallion. Poof and Buttons are adorable.
If there are any ghosts in this house, I'll bet they are the happiest ghosts.
You've really honored so much of this place.
Everything you do has such a special magic to it.
These ghosts better not be boo'ing her! Only happy shrieks!
Oh my goodness, this is STUNNING. Also, thank you so much for showing yourself wearing proper PPE! I so often cringe at DIY vloggers working with fumes, dust, chemicals, heights, etc. without proper protection. Thank you for protecting yourself, and for setting a great example for others who are inspired by your projects ❤
Christine, I think what you've done would make Carrie so happy, it really makes her artwork shine, and it's that added touch the room really needed.
And thanks for letting us get to meet Miss Richardson, she sounds like a lovely lady, and I think you two would have been great friends.
When she says she has “a little bit of an idea “, it’s always 💯 percent better than I can imagine!
Lol, yeah she's gonna take it over the top. I wish I had that gift. I don't have crafty or creative bone in my body.
To anyone mixing the plaster: it needs to sit.
2:1 water to powder. Dump powder gently into water, and do nothing. For about 2 minutes. It's soaking.
Then you can gently stir. No air bubbles, no vigorous mixing. You get a creamy mixture.
I did not know this! Neither did my mother who worked with molds to make creches for family members. She had to fix the folds where air bubbles settled. She ended up destroying a lot of her work. Thank you for this information!
Man that town must just love that they sold this to you. Literally no one else would have taken the care to preserve and restore this house the way you have. It’s so wonderful to see
When I see a new Christine McConnell video I always click on it immediately, every one of her projects is just stunning.
I was watching something else, then saw this and clicked on immediately! Drop everything when Christine does her practical magic. Every painstaking attention to detail as her visions of the past come to life in the present requires another Bravo!
@@SeaBreeze2247 ABSOLUTELY, she is not only artistic, but seems to know about the logistics of structures as well. Her channel is so much fun to watch.
I’m sorry but Netflix really messed up with not giving you a second season!!!! I love seeing your art! 🥰
that house is so lucky to have you. so glad there are still people who will maintain the integrity of architecture. hopefully people will see this and follow suit. enough with the greige.
She really does everything with pro level artistry and craftsmanship. A master of all she touches! Unreal!
Omg Christine! No wonder you never have time to post for us youtube hooligans. Youre so amazing! This is so cool!
Thank you for keeping her border!
OUR QUEEN HAS POSTED AGAIN!!!!
Guaranteed, the lady who grew up in that room is thrilled that you left her artwork but dolled up her room. I know I'd be tickled. What a beautiful way that you honor the period of the home and the homes owners from years gone by. ❤
Well I know one thing. No matter where she lives Christine will never have displeased ghosts…..just maybe ghosts that have moved back in to stay with the lady that takes such gentle loving care of their joint home.
So many beautiful and well built to last homes like this are being bought for the land, completely torn down for some modern monstrosity to be put up in their place or remodeled to modern to the point they lose their very soul and character. It's so nice to see someone with the talent, time and money buy one of these lovely historic homes and restore it to how it looked when it was brand new. You're saving that home Christine and I think this is a lovely and touching tribute to not just yourself and your talents but to the original owners that no doubt loved that home and were very proud of it. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
You have the patience of a Saint. Everything you do is so high level.
Poof is the best dust mop I've ever seen. Not necessarily the most effective, but the best.
Your home really reminds me of The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. It’s fabulous!
That is an AMAZING compliment! Thank you so much :D
But I think the haunted mansion at Disney has gargoyles no?
@@ShelleyD1 Hello! This is the gentleman who sold me the one I have :D www.musicaltreasuresofmiami.com
@@ChristineHMcConnell Thanks.... Just curious who is your captive? You surprised me when you said that! I'm intrigued now!!!! Lol!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so glade the art work wasn’t covered up by previous owners. It’s really beautiful and it actually fits in with Christine’s style.
Is there anything this glorious woman can't do?!!! PERFECTION!!! Thank you for the video!
Thank you mother, you have returned to us
I love how this home is truly everything you could ever want. You get the history, the space, and the blank slate of having to renovate it to bring it back to its former glory. I bet it brings you so much joy to wake up everyday there 😍
I know this will be just one out of a zillion comments that no one will ever see, but I must say that Christine is by far my favorite TH-camr!!!
I saw your comment, and I agree. She's simply amazing.
I am speechless!!! You are truly a master at all you do!
Wow. What a completely underrated channel. So unique and refreshing, Beautifully talented, and all the things that are incredibly hard to find in content these days.
What a beautiful thought to have painted birds on the wall as a child, then to pass looking at those same birds. It just feels like a beautiful way to go.
Thank you for putting detail back into this world!
When I moved into my home the previous owner had fitted ceiling roses made of some kind of styrofoam. One of the first things I did was replace them with real plaster ceiling roses. Yours are beautiful
Pretty sure my jaw actually hit the floor at the reveal! Christine - your talent and focus is unmatched. Your work is breathtaking.
Love how she keeps the original and then adds to it. Christine is amazing! ❤❤❤
There is no limit to your talents, you are truly gifted. I am in awe of everything you create. Thanks for sharing!
Not only are you a true artisan but also a brilliant genius in figuring out how to do this. The light fixture is gorgeous and it’s amazing you got it all in one piece !
AYYYYY WHAT A LOVELY MONDAY SURPRISE!! 🎉
CM is definitely one of the most talented women I've ever seen! Her work is beyond gorgeous & she always makes it look so easy. Love the birds & so happy no one ever painted over them. Another amazing job by CM! I love it!!💖
Christine, you are such a great steward to this home. You have such amazing talent and insight into restoration of your beautiful historical home.
Beautifully weird and gorgeous. ❤ Is it too much to hope the Netflix show would come back too? 😅
I have been watching everything on your channel all month, I'm so happy you have returned. ❤
I love that you did this with actual plaster!
Amazing woman who can do anything she sets hermind on. Amazing house too. Compared to todays boring decors this is full of harm and most importantly her style. Absolutely wonderful!!
Absolutely Gorgeous/Beautiful, the previous owners would be PROUD 🤩🖤
Christine, you never cease to amaze me with your elegance, talent and beauty! Your pets are adorable, I have a particular soft spot for Professor Poof.
The fact that you kept the birds and not only honored but also complimented her work made me a little emotional. I love that you told her story and gave her the recognition. If some of her family is still around I hope they see this!
That’s amazing how close your pattern is to the original!! Well done.
I’m so glad you changed the blue wall. That tone was fighting the original art frieze. Looks great now.
The room looks so adorable now. Your hard work really paid off.
Your art, style, work, and dedication are amazing! Thanks for sharing
Aren't those birds called barn swallows? The light fictures today and in a previous episode are stunning - I love antiques.
Couldn’t stop saying “WOW!” Christine, you are simply amazing.
LOVE how the room now highlights the bird art!
Кристина,ты вернулась❤! Как это правильно- не утратить традиции! Колоссальный труд,но результат этого стоил! Шедевр мастера! 👍👍👍👍👍👏
She posted! She created ! Remarkably as always.
Your mansion is gorgeous, the plasterwork looks amazing! love the vintage jewelry your wearing too!!
As a designer all I can say is WOW!
You do beautiful work and It's nice to see you respected the original architecture of your home!
Love it! 😊
Coffered ceilings are prohibitively expensive to put in. Those medallions are absolutely beautiful! I live near a Victorian town called Port Townsend. I had opportunity to docent during the annual Victorian Homes tour. Many of these over 100 year old homes are opened for people to tour. Some of the homes owners have spent decades restoring them.
What state are these homes in, please? Touring old homes is such a treat!
The grand reveal is more stunning than I could have ever imagined 🤩 As Always!! Wonderful work!!!
Omg! We missed you so much. We need you!!!
Oh my gosh so excited to see a new video!!
🌸 I am quite sure Ms Carrie L Richardson will definitely approve
I’m so happy you preserved her original birds 🦢
This is such an inspiration to me, I started my art again and my sculpting, it renewed my soul 🕊
You doubt yourself???? You do everything!! Anything!!
OMG Mom finally uploaded again!! 💚
Happy Memorial Day!!🇺🇸 boy am I glad that I was off and home to see this yay!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤
This is turning out to be a great day! 🙂❤️
Yay!! I miss Christine and her amazing videos. More please, Christine McConnell! 🩷😁🩷😁🩷
I love all of these episodes. I live in Saratoga Springs and was raised around things from this age. It gets into your soul and becomes part of you. It's hard to explain how one develops comfort and security in the spirit that reverberates through the decades. I guess I sound like I'm babbling, but if you understand and experience the charm and tranquility of the past, it's as if you are one with the past and its energies. Christine is a master of resurrection. I know so many like her, but none as competent. I can't say enough. If Christine ever visits the racing city (Saratoga Springs), she will see an amazing community that has a rich and endless array of mansions and culture that runs along the rails of her genius mind.
Wow...Christine! It's been a long time. Nice to see you again. My most favourite artist.
OMG, I seriously think she’s an artisan who’s time traveled! No one does things like this anymore, and to be completely self taught is amazing.
I so missed Christine's videos. This was worth the wait! Thank you Christine!
Everything is possible with your talent. I love watching and waiting for each episode. This house is magnificent and I am wondering how many more rooms, corridors, etc, are left. Thank you, Christine and I love your attention to detail.
CHRISTINE!! I missed you!
She post once a month on patreon
@@arthurmertens2182 and hopefully the people who are able to support her there can continue to
All I have to say after watching your renovations of this house is that if you’ve got ghosts, then they adore you - you’re putting up pictures of them, and keeping their art and making things look the way they used to - they are gonna protect you when you’re in there!
My husband and I watch you together as one of our things we do together. He once remarked that it was too bad that the house didn't have a billiards room because he thought you could do some really awesome things on pool table felt and the overhang light would have been something amazing picked by you.
Another Christine McConnell project pure perfection *chef's kiss*
Exquisite Christine, and your fur babies as well ,love is the key, always 💞
Absolutely gorgeous! I love her birds. Thank you for keeping them.
Oh my, how fascinating! I have never seen your channel before, I follow a couple (to be honest, a few!) chateau renovations in France, this is similar but different with more glamour. Wonderful. From Australia 🇦🇺
Im forever grateful that you got this beautiful house. You’ve given so much heart to this home, keeping its historical integrity, but also giving your own touch to it. You’re doing a bang up job😍
Wow…you’re a Queen 👏 i also wanted to congratulate you about your pronunciation 👌 i am French and your English and pronunciation is so good not only i understand everything but i could listen at you for hours for pure pleasure . Last point, i lost my adorable dog 2 months ago , she was 16 y.old and she was the spitting image of your dog !!!🫣❤️……
Thank you for the video
Christine is the most elegant woman I've ever seen. Not even exaggerating.
The fact that she is so creative is attractive too.
Hi in my 50 years of being a plasterer in Australia I have covered over and uncovered some plaster works of art,it pleases me to see some one taking time to show the world a fading trade,keep up the great work, bless you.
Absolutely stunning! Really elegant and creative whilst still keeping true to the spirit of the house. A breath of fresh air in this boxy grey world.
I just know that her spirit is so grateful and honored that you are the owner of this home. You treat everything with such care and respect, but have the same creative drive and beautiful ideas that she did.
I followed the process on patreon and I am impressed by the result. Beautiful Christine
You are a victorian goddess🙏🏻✨
O.h mu goodness! I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this video pop up! We miss you and your content. ❤❤❤❤
What a blessed day. Christine has graced us with another beautiful video.
I was a union plasterer in my younger days. I KNOW what you have accomplished here and I must say I am very impressed! Hats off to you! I have done this type of mouldwork and casting…. Well done
It never ceases to amaze me how driven you are to create. It's like you tapped into an endless wellspring of inspiration from birth and haven't stopped yet!
You’ve been missed!!! More than excited to watch your work your magic! Absolutely beautiful! Wish you had a weekly video! You’ve made my day! ❤ love the history of your home! ❤ AND wish AlLL your video’s were on DVD’s! 🐈 🐶 🦜
I am always so in awe and inspired.. .omg Arthur Buttons!! T_T so precious ..
Just amazing work!!! I hope that one day you’ll do a walk through of the whole house and everything youve worked on ❤
