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"
SHE’S BACK!!!!
@@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.
@@Alexandra-uk4vr Yeah I agree, girl has to pay her bills. I don't blame her one bit.
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! 💞🦇
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
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
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.
I’m sorry but Netflix really messed up with not giving you a second season!!!! I love seeing your art! 🥰
Ikr 😭
But good for her doing her own thing this is much better actually I don’t like them as a company with Blonde that terrible movie about Marilyn
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!
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.
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
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
Using your cat to clean the floor ! Classic 😂
That’s an alternative duster
One should only use organic cleaning products, for the environment!
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.
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!
That is actually a spiritual practice of “waking up the spirit of the house” and doing things like tending to the home in a caring manner in turn compelled the local spirits to care for you ✨
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.
She really does everything with pro level artistry and craftsmanship. A master of all she touches! Unreal!
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.
OUR QUEEN HAS POSTED AGAIN!!!!
Omg Christine! No wonder you never have time to post for us youtube hooligans. Youre so amazing! This is so cool!
Stunning, thoughtful, and painstakingly crafted work yet again! (Not that I would expect anything less from our resident good witch, Christine.) 😊
I’m also an artist, but I often forget that art isn’t limited to works on paper and canvas. Christine reminds me that LIVING artfully is a real thing, and a very meaningful practice that can enrich and transform our living spaces into their own unique works of art…more like their own little worlds, even. It’s inspiring.
I live in an apartment, so I hesitate sometimes to give it the time and energy it would take to create something so beautiful, because I don’t know how long I will be here. But, really…do any of us ever know that? I think it’s time to stop thinking of my home as a stepping stone to the “real thing” and to take advantage of the fact that my landlord kind of gives me free reign to do whatever I want with my somewhat decrepit 1920 apartment. ❤ Thank you for your magic, Christine! As always, I’m inspired and on tenterhooks to see what you come up with next.
Love and kudos to your furry management team! ❤❤❤
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!
You have the patience of a Saint. Everything you do is so high level.
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.
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 ❤
She's not going into space
@@trashpanda2396 She fell from a height during this project and hurt herself quite badly. She made a point on Patreon of pointing out the lesson learned and why she rented the lift. So yah...the whole safety part is important.
@@rachelw1076 probably because she couldn't see what she was doing wearing that space helmet
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. ❤
Poof is the best dust mop I've ever seen. Not necessarily the most effective, but the best.
Thank you for putting detail back into this world!
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.
I am speechless!!! You are truly a master at all you do!
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 😍
Christine, you are such a great steward to this home. You have such amazing talent and insight into restoration of your beautiful historical home.
Your art, style, work, and dedication are amazing! Thanks for sharing
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.
Love how she keeps the original and then adds to it. Christine is amazing! ❤❤❤
Your house could be used for movies, every detail is never missed and everything is so thought out and beautiful as are you !
You are amazing is there anything you can not do.. I love watching your channel I’m obsessed in a healthy way.
I'm so glad you love the old!! That marble sink, shelf, and mantel would probably have been thrown out by anyone else.
Christine is the most elegant woman I've ever seen. Not even exaggerating.
The fact that she is so creative is attractive too.
There is no limit to your talents, you are truly gifted. I am in awe of everything you create. Thanks for sharing!
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!!💖
I’m sooooo hopeful we get a full tour of this beautiful home from the attic to the basement and the complete grounds area. Please oh please sweet Christine give us a full tour when it’s done❤
I love that you did this with actual plaster!
Sometimes renovation & restoration work stirs up paranormal activity. Christine, if you have had any strange experiences - and if you have captured anything on camera - I am one fan who would ❤ to know about it. 💐
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.
i bought a plaster medallion to add to my ceiling YEARS AGO but it's a project i have yet to get to. i'm so happy to see you do this project and hopefully inspire me to finish my own!
Your mansion is gorgeous, the plasterwork looks amazing! love the vintage jewelry your wearing too!!
A video a day would be absolutely amazing.....but I understand that everything you do takes time, especially creating the master pieces that you do. And the patience it takes to do all that you do is top tier. You are out of this world fabulous, enchanting and beyond great at what you do.
Кристина,ты вернулась❤! Как это правильно- не утратить традиции! Колоссальный труд,но результат этого стоил! Шедевр мастера! 👍👍👍👍👍👏
When I got my Regency home all the original plaster work had been removed in the seventies. It took me so much research to find how the originals may have looked based on the external detailing. Thankfully with the help of an historic plaster company I was able to have it all reinstated so it was sympathetic with the history of the building. This video really made me smile. Keep up the good work! 🖤
Wow I would love to see your home. Sounds magnificent.
@@TJ-id6ee thank you! If I ever become a TH-cam star I will post about it 💫
@@samuelthomas7486 I'll be there. lol I just spent all morning researching horse hair plaster. I had no idea before. I love historic homes and architecture. ⛪💕
Yay!! I miss Christine and her amazing videos. More please, Christine McConnell! 🩷😁🩷😁🩷
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
The room looks so adorable now. Your hard work really paid off.
I still can't believe how multi talented you are...!
🌸 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 🕊
That turned out absolutely gorgeous, Christine!🌟 That was amazing to see how you did that💗
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
Your talent for design and figuring out how to do things, never ceases to amaze me!
I’m so glad you changed the blue wall. That tone was fighting the original art frieze. Looks great now.
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.
Thank you mother, you have returned to us
I love christine so much and a real fan of christines work and love her as a person . Everything is perfection in your creative work. Thumbs up is your a fan of christine McConnell.❤❤❤
Couldn’t stop saying “WOW!” Christine, you are simply amazing.
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.
That’s amazing how close your pattern is to the original!! Well done.
I love that this takes place in basically my hometown!!
Pretty sure my jaw actually hit the floor at the reveal! Christine - your talent and focus is unmatched. Your work is breathtaking.
I am in awe of what I just watched. I’m a builder / remodeler / woodworker, and I consider myself pretty talented… but I would not even attempt what you did here. You are amazing.
Wow...Christine! It's been a long time. Nice to see you again. My most favourite artist.
It turned out so pretty and the chandelier is gorgeous. You are so talented.
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 !
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!!
Another Christine McConnell project pure perfection *chef's kiss*
Christine, you blow me away each time I find a new video. Beauty & brains!
Absolutely gorgeous! I love her birds. Thank you for keeping them.
Wow! I just stumbled on her channel. The cinematography, editing, music, narration are a work of art by themselves! What a talent! This will be for sure my new favoritee channel!
as soon as i saw those birds i knew you wouldnt disturb them. the piping bag and dust mop hacks were golden. I love you lady...happy to see you again.
I so missed Christine's videos. This was worth the wait! Thank you Christine!
As a now retired journeyman stone/marble mason, there's NOTHING more pleasurable then watching a true 'mechanic' do their work - mechanic denotes the highest skill level! And MERCY Ms. Christine McConnell...your 'skills' working with plaster rivals some of the 'master' European plaster craftworkers I worked around! Cheers...
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!
What a blessed day. Christine has graced us with another beautiful video.
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.
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.
Holy crapola! First time viewer and within 30 seconds I'm in love with this lady and her house! Can't wait to watch more of your talents.
She posted! She created ! Remarkably as always.
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! 😊
Just amazing work!!! I hope that one day you’ll do a walk through of the whole house and everything youve worked on ❤
I wish I had Christine’s talent!! Calls her main man the “The Captive”; I love it.
Absolutely Gorgeous/Beautiful, the previous owners would be PROUD 🤩🖤
Your patreon is my happy place. I loved the 3 full length videos detailing this project ❤❤❤
Happy Memorial Day!!🇺🇸 boy am I glad that I was off and home to see this yay!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤
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.
Beautifully weird and gorgeous. ❤ Is it too much to hope the Netflix show would come back too? 😅
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
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 🇦🇺
The grand reveal is more stunning than I could have ever imagined 🤩 As Always!! Wonderful work!!!
Wow… Such a stellar accomplishment. …and her hair is her glory with its own ever changing flourishes. The intro of this video reminds me of the intro to the “Friday the 13th” tv series in the 80s which terrified me as a child.
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.
