I’m catching up on missed episodes. Does anyone know if Christine ever mentioned the pattern name for the glassware in this episode? It’s beautiful and I’d love to find something similar. Thanks!

Such a feast for the eyes! Everything so beautifully matched with every detail considered! This is a masterpiece with the perfect quirky touches. I love the pink elephants the best. Everything is so lovingly chosen and sets off the phenomenal work you did in the dining room…especially that amazing wallpaper you restored. My heart would be happy to sit at that table and take in all of the details…A true work of art! I wouldn’t want to eat, because it would spoil the perfection!

Ansley Carter

Do you also keep the table set to avoid having to find somewhere to store the china?

ANNE E WALLICK-BAUHOF

Jealous!

ANNE E WALLICK-BAUHOF

Omg I wanna travel to NY for a dinner party at your house!! 😻🍽

Katie

OMG those pants! Very Tower of Terrorish. I would love love love a pattern for those!!

chelle belle

The visuals are far too delicious, though.

Jotei

Dear Christine, would you consider making a tutorial on decorating/crafting a vase or a bed table lamp? I would love to see such things with your special magical touch ♥

helen crawford

Brilliant idea!!!

Michelle Tuffley

I wish you had a podcast. I would love listening to you talking more about the history of the house plus things like your audio book recommendations and plans for the future and not to mention how to dispose of bodies correctly.

Letha Anderson

Awesome, as per usual - and I cannot wait for the April episode(s)!

Lillith

A bit off topic, but I remember you mentioning previously that you had bats in the new house. And I thought it could be a cute idea to give them their own houses. I was just reading on Merlin Tuttle's website about what to look for when making or buying a bat house.

Kathleen Smith

Thank you!!

Christine McConnell

Hello Kathleen! I've pinned a post at the top of this feed with links to all of the episodes and livestreams :D So it should be the first post at the top of this Patreon page :)) I hope that's helpful -Christine

Kathleen Smith

Where is the video for the night tour of the new house and carriage tour? I don’t understand why I can’t find more videos than these.

Adelheid

Hello! ♥ I have a question: Can someone please tell me where I can find the announcements for when upcoming livestreams take place? I seem to be missing them recently. :s

Karl Beck

The white dress is STUNNING! I love the pink elephant theme! Please consider doing a future episode if you do another chandelier overall!

Jeannine Shields

This was great. I did not know about knife rests either. Add to cart! And I had not thought of having individual place setting salt and pepper shakers. What a great idea! Especially post-COVID and it looks adorable.

helen crawford

That is SO enchanting!

kristen

What is the brand of that beautiful cake stand with the croissants? 😍

Damn-it-Janet

The before/after is incredible! You are being a wonderful steward of that house. I hope you will have time to make an episode on restoring/embellishing an antique frame this year.

Elisabeth

It is unbelievable how a house can be this beautiful and put together. I don´t know how you think of all the details... I have never seen anything like it! So inspirational, I had no choice but to cash in a few every month, just to see what you´re up to next :D Thank you for all the inspiration!

Jennifer

Yes possibly so the camera and lighting wouldn’t get in the shot. The lighting can be blinding

L.W. Nicholson

I have been thinking about this episode since I watched it, everything chosen with careful intention. I love it.

Aunt Debbie Halloween

I think she just has cardboard backing in them with no mirror yet? It looks like cardboard.

Mia0909

I loved everything from the chandelier to the napkins and especially the whimsical elephants ... but was wondering why did you paint over your 2 mirrors? x

Judy K. Zamlen-Spotts

I received crystal knife rests for me wedding! I'll start using them..., now.

Aaron Higgins

I dont know why, but eventhough the elaphants are quite cute, in my mind they suggest poisonig. Lol. And i like how one set isnt pink; the host will rest assured they dont befall the same fate as the guests! Bwahahah! }:-)

Laura Pennington

Such an inspiration ❤️

Lyndsey Zeller

Absolutely stunning & I loved the pink elephants!

Jennifer Butler

Gorgeous!

Matt Leguillon

Love this room so very much!! ❤️❤️❤️

The Lady Kwiller

So pretty! Those elephants are heckin' creepy. Love it. :D

SamOh_WamOh

I loved how each setting had its own elephant s&p shakers. So freakin cute.

Fox

We rarely got to eat at the table growing up so this vid filled me with so much excitement! :D i cant wait to get started on my own table setting <3

Meagan Sharman

I too want some pink elephant salt and pepper shakers. I've just finished listening to the most amazing podcast called Strange and Unexplained. It's right up your alley.

Danielle Gutierrez

And I'm off to find me some pink elephant salt&pepper shakers 😆 Loved it! Thank you Christine!! I hope to be a lucky one to win a chance to dine with you someday!🖤💜🖤💜

Kristyn McMillie

I absolutely loved those snake candle holders you have❣️

Sue Smith Romero

The table setting reminds me of my grandmother. She taught me all the proper places for everything so I could set the table for family dinners on holidays. I like your point about not taking it too seriously too. That takes the fun out of it.

Germaine

The table/ dining room looks wonderful! The elephants are an adorable touch🥰. The table layout is fantastic too. I actually think the layout etiquette is slightly different in England so it nice to compare how things are done the same and different😊. It looks like anyone at your dinner parties will be super comfortable and feel utterly spoilt. I don't normally make comments but you put so much care and attention in everything you do I really enjoy being part of your patreon. Big love, Gx

Cheryl Kirkpatrick

Looks beautiful-did you find your candlesticks in town or online?

Michelle Ford-Copley

lovelovelove!

Heather Brown

Absolutely stunning!!

Carla Morgan

Amazing!!! I love it :) :)

Alan E Marling

I appreciate you posting these here so I can avoid YouTube ads.

Amber Beeson

My dream home!

Amber Noseworthy

💜so wonderful!!🔮

Haana-SikSik Sammurtok-Lavallee

This was a really great reveal! I love the colour combination

Christy B.

Absolutely stunning! The dining room turned out great- it's so magical. I think it was well worth the wait. Keep up the wonderful work, Christine. <3

Corie H

The room turned out so beautiful !

Rebecca Phelps

That dining room would make any guest feel special. So beautiful and detailed.

Tricia Slone

I agree. I would love to see the "behind the scenes" stuff. Every step would be great to watch and not at all boring.

Christina Zavala

So beautiful and I love the pink elephant idea😍

Iana Nelson

I would love to have dinner in that room! It's gorgeous!

Aunt Debbie Halloween

I love this video - aside from the room, the video itself is a work of art. You do such a good job with the cinematography/music that it's just mesmerizing to watch. And I really like the whole-room shots where you were walking around setting the table, and we can hear the echos of the plates against the wood. It made it feel like actually being in the room with you, with more time to absorb the feeling of the size of the room, the table and chairs, the fireplace - everything! The big reveal is fun, but I know it wouldn't be diminished by letting us come on the journey with you! Thank you so much for sharing your vision!

Lureline

That room is absolutely stunning! Great work!

Dominique Kupersmith

So beautiful and unique! I know you said you will hardly use that room but you really should. you and captive should try plan for a weekly or monthly special dinner night. IDK. It's just so pretty.

Vicky

Really beautiful.

Gincredible

How I wish I had a dining room or the space to store ornate table accoutrement. Living vicariously!

L Zebell

Excited for the recycled dress form!

Sherrie Dicecco

This video was such a treat to watch...The end result is so beautiful!

Lisa Ames

Love it Christine - it is so warm and inviting!

Alyce

What a treat! This Victorian dining room is magical, really beautiful!

Sandra

My cats would be like, new stuff to knock off 🤣

Sonya Colley

Your dining room is a feast for the eyes!

Sherrie Dicecco

love this episode! Your new home is just beautiful and I can't wait to see what you accomplish next.

Nicholas Frig

I was wondering what the significance of the pink elephants. Now I know and the answer was much more cute than I was expecting.

Kim Geoffroy

The chandelier is gorgeous, your captivate did a great job being able to rewire it. The room is beautiful, from what it was to what it is now, absolutely stunning.

Kelsie Baranski

I loved seeing the finished room and cannot wait to see the rest of the mansion come to life. I'd watch you do just about anything. (New patron here, so glad I joined - I just adore you and your work). xo

Jennifer Gabris

I love this whole series of videos, what a beautiful room!!

Doreena Clark

Gorgeous!!!

Marina salinas

Ah so pretty! I’m excited you are doing the dress form! It’s my birthday month :D

Kris

I just finished watching the video, the setting is so elegant with bit of fun in it. I LOVE IT!!! 🧡Christine you have such a creative eye.

Shannon Hogue

I adore setting elaborate, traditional tables for holiday meals I host! My family makes fun of me since it's usually just us. But it's so fun to be fancy sometimes and I have a lot of heirloom china, crystal and silver. It would be a shame not to use it! I'm immediately heading to etsy now to search for knife rests!

Ashley Bosworth

You are just the coolest!

Lizzy

I just woke up to a new video posted!!! 🧡🧡🧡

V

TBH I would be thrilled to see how you had to clean the room/foreplace and get the table in there and take everything down -almost vlog style? I think it would be less stressful than to work toward a huge reveal each time and we still get content!❤️ turned out absolutly stunning as always❤️❤️

Bryan Yu

The gray elephants are for the kiddos 😉

Shardith (Mar)

I'm smiling at the pairs of unique pink elephants at each of the lovely formal table settings.

Krista Scholl

Absolutely stunning. I love the color palette, and how everything goes so perfectly together.

Kaitlyn Lachance

So gorgeous! I love how all the colours on the table tie into the colours in the wallpaper😍

Shelley Anders

Soooo pretty 💕love the elegance of it all and the whimsy of the pink elephants 🐘 💕

Cassandra Cyr

Oooo this has been a fun month! What a project, and what great results!

Chad

Truly stunning work! 🖤

The Homesick Brit

Thank you! It was lovely to see all the care that went into this room. Exquisite as always. XOXOX

Joanne Surette

Perfect way to start my day off! Having my morning cup of coffee under my cozy blanket while watching your new episode. Thanks Christine! :)

Cynthia Larres

L🖤VE!!! The pink elephant salt and pepper shakers at each place setting - amazing!!

Christine McConnell

Happy Birthday Grace!! :D

The Homesick Brit

I was hoping this would post today! A lovely birthday surprise to wake up to. ❤️🥰

Eric Mutzabaugh

I love the elephants!!! It’s like the table was set by the rich widow of a Victorian circus owner. Or some distinguished lady who has a secret past as a circus performer. Those snake taper holders are gorgeous too. Maybe she had a love affair with a snake charmer in her youth. 😜 beautifully done. As per usual.
