I saw a very very close match wallpaper in one of the Painted Ladies of San Francisco restoration video in Architectural Digest. Roses are identical. Background lattice is slightly different.
Dawn Hutchins
If you think you have carpal tunnel, What is it called when your wreck your neck because of all that paint on the ceiling? It was amazing.💜
Anna Radaelli
I want to come visit and have a glass of wine at that amazingly haunting dining room! Bravo ... as usual!
EdG
Wow! I can’t believe the amount of work you put into this. It turned out amazing! You are such an inspiration. I was especially impressed with how well you matched the colors…no easy task. Fantastic!
Tammy Nunn
This came out absolutely stunning! I just kept saying “wow”! Phenomenal talent! Truly enjoyed watching this process. Thank you.
Genevieve Rainey
It turned out amazing!
chelle belle
Your poor neck! Mind=blown by this project.
ruth miller
What you do is amazing. Your new to you old home is gorgeous !!
Lady Barronmore
I was listening to “the Way I Heard It” the other day and was reminded, play dough was originally invented as a way to clean paper wallpaper. I wonder if the white play dough would still work?
rachemus
My neck started to ache in sympathy when you were working on the ceiling details.
Sylvia Lopez Johnson
absolutely amazing!
Damn-it-Janet
Unbelievable restoration. I couldn't tell at all where you painted, vs the original pattern. You are so talented.
Robin Reed
You are the most talented woman on the planet. I wish I had half your talent and personality.
Kristin A
Loved watching every second of this video! Secretly wish I could've volunteered to help paint...you make it look so fun! But definitely hard work!
Judy James
Amazing. Makes me want to rip my house apart and redo it.
Claire McQuarrie
This is the video I can't stop watching. So inspiring!
Kat McKay
Amazing! Well done!!! I'd love to see a video of the wall decorations you chose for the room afterward and why. Cheers!
Awakening Artist
Bravo!!!!!!! Amazing work on the wallpaper, OMG. That Medallion and extra detail on the ceiling was my favorite.
CarmelizedSquid
i am just in aww of your talent, hardwork, and passion for detail. <3 i personally wouldnt be able to do the ladder for so long... while working with your arms above your head?? talk about CORE OF STEEEL <3
Scott Bradshaw
Blown away by the talent and commitment.
Noelle Mancini
I am so awestruck by your talent, which never ceases to amaze me, your imagination and execution is mind blowing Christine, that by the end of this episode, it actually made me cry when it came time for the “Grand Reveal”. But now, I also have some questions, like, how long did it take you to actually paint in and touch up the areas that needed to be done? As well as.. CAN WE DISCUSS THE NEW DECOR?!?! I want to know about the new dining room table and chairs, did you make them? And the chandelier, all the candlesticks (I found the king cobra ones already ;-) ) what did you do with the old dining table and chairs? Side board? I have so many questions... AND now I am completely OBSESSED with the wallpaper have you heard anything yet on whom may have made it?? Or about the arsenic? Your Loyal Stalker, Noelle <3
Carol Brown
Absolutely beautiful!
Kimberley Huntington
I love that you're in this world! I truly enjoy and admire your time, detail and patience.
Marie c
Just amazing work...I can't believe replicated it by hand!
Bonnie Coniguliaro
stunning! You are extremely talented! If only I had a quarter of that talent. Thank you for sharing your home, the history of your home and your talent. I’m in Aw
Deb McGrath
Wow! This video convinced me that I needed to become a patreon subscriber. I have been a YouTube subscriber but had not seen a new video since the move to the new home. After seeing this video, I was reminded of how amazing your work is. I had to see your other videos of what you have done to this gorgeous victorian mansion. I was off work today and have been binge watching the posted videos. This has been a wonderful experience. I can't wait to see what is next!
Danielle Gutierrez
Absolutely Breathtakingly Gorgeous! 🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜
Danielle Gutierrez
I want to come over and have dinner Christine!! 🖤💜🖤💜
Danielle Gutierrez
Because she is Extra 😆 so talented and it shows! 💜🖤💜🖤 I would have traced as well lol! I'm excited she is sharing with us her stencils too💜
Akulina
Enjoyed every single second of the episode (and every episode)! You are amazing 😻
Karmell Mazurek
amazing job with the hand painting!! I swear you have TOO much patience!
Aline
I am wondering if it would have been easier to trace a portion/panel of the existing wallpaper with tracing paper and then stenciling it in with a product called Saral Wax Free Transfer Paper or carbon paper as opposed to measuring the lattice with a ruler? You have amazing concentration and skill
Karmell Mazurek
amazing! thank you for the hard work!
Hayley Stephens
Ditto! 💗
Hayley Hochstettler
My goodness. The reveal of the dining room was INCREDIBLE.
Amy Bainbridge
Well! That was worth the wait!! Stunning dining room and amazing work from Christine, I'm in awe...
Lauren Downard
WOW!! You are so insanely talented - watching you painstakingly recreate this wallpaper was incredible, and seeing the process of the ceiling, and the final shots, is amazing too. I love your work Christine, can't wait for more!!
Bernadette Schmidt
The beginning of this episode reminds me “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, written in 1890. Have you read it? Other than that, this just exquisite!
Carlos Ponce
You need to come up with a line of homewares! Absolutely amazing!
Autumn
A wow episode and from a personal perspective beyond wonderful to see a piece of house restoration. The painstaking recreation of the wallpaper was magical to witness. I'm going to die when you do your kitchen remodelling - can't wait.
Liz Pearson
That looks so amazing!
Brenda L.
Absolutely stunning! I love that wallpaper but you recreating it blew me away! So beautiful! Really enjoyed that video 💖
Dayana Alvarado
Love the old wallpaper! It’s gorgeous! You did a fabulous job painting it!
Jenevie Shoykhet
Your work is impeccable. The nine commercial interruptions were a bit distracting, and I almost didn't make it to the end—but so glad I did. With the whole table set, everything comes together seamlessly.
mrb
You are so talented and everything you do is so amazing. I am sure all of your patrons are quite happy with whatever you post and when you post it.
Chelsea Dreibelbis
Absolutely stunning as always Christine! Your patience is admirable 💚
Kelly Miller
Is Christine the most patient person alive or what??!! What a painstaking process!!
Genevieve Fernety
There’s a really fantastic app called TurboScan you can use to scan anything flat you can’t lay into a scanner. If you ever needed to recreate wall paper again, taping a measuring tape along the edge of the repeat, scanning it with TurboScan and making a stencil in illustrator or photoshop could be a good option. Obviously you did an outrageously incredible job without it thought but I thought I’d pass along some unsolicited advice from a designer that occasionally has to make prints. 🥰
Shannon Smith
You both are so talented! And yes, I feel welcomed but totally creeped out!
Rachel
You are crazy in the best way! Whenever I'm working on something tedious from now on and want to quit, I gonna be like, if Christine can paint that wallpaper, you can sure handle this!
Hannah M
Literally going hard in the paint lol
Studio Elsbeth
As always, I'm in awe <3
Trevor Howell
This is SO incredibly impressive.
Virginia Bernotas Fremarek Lempa
I cannot imagine doing what you do and your know-how!!! You are really, truly amazing. Can’t wait to see what comes next. I love this home and you are perfect occupants. Fantastic!!!!
Sarah Bartlebaugh
Your commitment to preserving this beautiful home is amazing!! Thank you so much for all you do!!
April Brockman
It was amazing how you duplicated the antique wall paper. It is just stunning. I love the stenciling that you did in the corners and around the light. It really made the room come together.
Jonathan Schell
Once again amazed (yet not surprised) by your skills!! Stunning work, you have such patience and dedication! Love it!
Cindy
One of my favorite episodes, I’m so amazed, you’re extraordinary <3
Ryan McFadden
It was certainly worth the wait and it came out amazing! The hand painted areas match so perfect I can’t even tell where it was added vs the old paper. Love the floral print too. I rent my home but furnish my place on the same period, so I’ve decorated my walls with about 16 large panels of Victorian tapestry fabric with burgundy roses and green vines. I’m so in awe with the entire look of that dinning room. Now I need to work on adding in more decorative elements to mine.
Steven Jenkins
You are amazing!!! As others have mentioned, your talents are incredible! I would actually call your talents: gifts, because they are too magical to be ordinary talents. Amazing!
Ramblin Wreck
Amazing!!! 🦇🎨🤯
Cecilia
You inspire me so much it’s hard for me to even put it into words. Dealing with depression and a never ending quarantine due to an insane and criminal government here in Brazil has been taking its toll in my creative endeavors, but after watching your videos I get so inspired and excited that all that negativity just disappears and I simply start producing again. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🖤
Ellerie “Sit in Your Tears” Maddox
Just when I think you can’t possibly outdo yourself, you post something like this and my brain just explodes. Your talent is just absolutely mind boggling!!!!!!
The Homesick Brit
Guilty. I’m glad it helped. Top priority is to keep her healthy so she can continue to do what she loves.
Lisa
Love the way that you transformed this room, very much keeping the original but elevating it to a whole new and amazing level.
Kasy Santos
It came out so beautiful! Your talent is so inspiring
Vi
I’m so amazed. I cannot BELIEVE Christine replicated the colours exactly. I can’t even mix a nice brown that doesn’t even need to match anything. I’m so amazed but also not surprised at her brilliance.
Rebecca Mitchell
Amazing episode.
Jessica Haag
Wow! Your talent is unbelievable! The room looks so beautiful.
Kate Lecours
Really loved that episode!
Cynthia Weaver
Mesmerizing episode! What a beautiful dining room!
Bernadette Vaughan
I mean..........I am awed.
Tanya Hermann
This was great. I'm afraid to ask how long this took you to do. And someone maybe already asked that, I'm guessing.
katie scott
you are so exceptionally talented! I love watching you restore and create
June Yorke
I have a very strong feeling that the ghosts in your home are very happy. You really honored their space!
Elizabeth Ziegelbein
If you haven't already posted it (I may have missed it), posting the palette of the colors you mixed would be wonderful. Those colors are so beautiful!
Alyce
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and Honestly, from the opening to the haunting music created by your captive and then your creativity and your incredible talent and skills as an artist makes it mesmerizing to watch. All of your videos are that way, but the beautiful wallpaper and dining room was truly special. I really enjoy seeing both the exterior and interior of your beautiful and spooky house and of course the adorable pets!
Fay Othilia
This episode was a blast! Loved it a lot! ❤
Lindsey
The paint matching was mind blowing! What a work of art
Sandra
All I can say is Amazing!!! One question, you mentioned at the end of the video that there are videos on how to make the napkins and the place cards. I couldn’t find anything about the place cards in the napkin video, could you tell us where it is?
Aunt Debbie Halloween
Also I forgot to say that the ceiling is fantastic, your dining chairs are very cool, and the shot of the tall window with the snowy trees outside is just breathtaking. Everything is breathtaking!
Lureline
This turned out so beautifully and was so much work!! I admire your taste and stamina! :)
Scheherazade
You probably already know this but, play dough originally was a wallpaper cleaner.
Alice Clabaugh
i believe she plastered over the wall, extra plaster + sanding would help fill in any rough edges the paper may have had
Alice Clabaugh
oh to sit at that table and just gaze around the room 🤗 if you ever come accross an old "filler" painting you like but its dirty or has missing paint you could consider restoring it. cleaning the smoke residue/old varnish off paintings seems to make a powerful difference. after seeing you do this I feel you may have the temperament for restoring a painting
Helen Shih
It’s sooo speechlessly beautiful!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
Parchment paper?
Aunt Debbie Halloween
You're the one that sent the paint mixer attachment - good job - she really needed that!
Jenna Ro
I have been looking as well - hopefully it pops up somewhere!
Ashley Shively
The level of patience you have is incredible!! This turned out so beautiful!
Lynn
Absolutely love the wallpaper, and how you restored it.
cassie ward
You are sooo talented!!!! It looks incredible!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
There's a company called Spoonflower that will put your original designs onto fabric or wallpaper.
Aunt Debbie Halloween
It came out so beautifully! The colors of the original paper go SO WELL with the color of the marble on the mantel! And your paint matching was heroic! You started from scratch with the primary colors and ended with perfection! (That's SO hard because acrylic is not the same color wet and dry - it even changes color between dry on the first day and dry on the second day!) You are the Queen of color matching! I'm swooning over your finished room - SO AMAZING!!!
Alexandria
Hi Christine, just wanted to say what a fan I am of your beautiful work. I am learning so much! Artificial flower arrangements 💐 are now one of my favourite things to do. I also want to take apart and old clock 🕰 and see what makes it tick! Thank you for the wide range of projects! There is something for everyone. 🙌
Paulette Mickle
You continue to inspire me, my mind, and my world with all these amazing hands on projects & restorations you do!! 🥰 the time and effort that goes into it is beyond phenomenal. And the original Rose lattice wallpaper, I can’t get over how extraordinary beautiful it is 🌹 thank you so much Christine for these truly amazing videos 🤗 looking forward to your next project! Wishing you, your captain & all your fur babies a beautiful week ❤️
Natasha
CHRISTINE! Once again, you have blown my mind with your talent, your design and your eye!! The design around the ceiling just gives the room so much more drama and wow-factor, I made and audible and involuntary "Oooooh" upon seeing it all! Can't wait to see the other three videos left to come!!
John Pearson
This is so perfect!
V
I cant WAIT for her to explain how she decorated, those last shots were STUNNING
Jessica Darne
So gorgeous!! What a work of love! The wallpaper reminds me of something from the Titanic, makes sense given the time frame. I’m so glad I joined your Patreon and get to be inspired!
Felicia
I watched the video twice and it may just be me not catching on, but how did you accomplish a smooth transition from the edge of the wallpaper to the bare wall for painting?
Lolly
I wondered this too about the tracing paper! Either way, the end result is INCREDIBLE!
Blake
Wow! The color matching was SPOT ON! So impressive!
zuul81 .
Thank you.As always impressive work.
Audrey Coggins
While it's not my taste, I admire your dedication 10000% to re-creating that wallpaper! I also loved the painted ceiling with the darker olive tone rather than the cream that was there! Instead of freehand drawing the panels, was there a reason you didn't use tracing paper? Looking forward to the coming episode on how you put the room together and how you edited the space!
Casey Killoran
Just wow. Such detail. Brava!
E. M
Amazing transformation! Such beautiful paint work, I really loved the music this episode too, it was really cool to listen to while watching.
Welikemeatloaf
Oh wow! Just watching this exhausted me! I need a nap!
Lesley Niezynski
Incredible, I really want to try hand painting wallpaper! Also I would have loved to have seen how it looked with the original paper, it’s so vibrant!
Shelby Snow
Amazing! Jaw dropping!!!! Love it
Kandice Tanner
Stunning!!!!! I love that you added your own personal touches to the ceiling. The depth and shadows truly transform the room.
hattie1117
That wallpaper is so beautiful! I'm so glad you were able to restore it. Also, I completely relate to your style 'old lady in a haunted house' which is my absolute goal. x
Anna Wilson
OH! also since you know photoshop & illustrator you can scale any design in illustrator and you can tile print. So if you design in illustrator you can print straight from there, but you can also design in photoshop or scan a handmade design and then place in illustrator to scale and print from there. Tile print will print "tiles" onto normal sized paper. It saves me so much time for a lot of different personal and work projects. <3
Anna Wilson
So Beautiful! You did such a wonderful job! There are a couple of techniques that can save you time for your template. You can use tracing paper and then lay that on graphite transfer paper (they make both light and dark) OR mural and sign painters use a tracing wheel on paper (it punches small holes) You tape it up and then rub with chalk and it transfers a dotted outline of the design onto the desired surface. (it's made for sewing) Someone else mentioned the projector, which works for a lot of transfers though I think it would be more of a pain in the hiney to keep moving and refocus for a repeating pattern. I'm so glad I joined your patreon, watching these extra videos have been very relaxing and inspiring. THANK YOU! :)
Hermine-Virginie Simon
So amazing !
Anabel García
Absolutely stunning ❤️
Annie Skinner
This is absolutely incredible! I am in awe of your talent!
Gorgon's Eye
The content you are creating is priceless. I am so happy to be your Patron! <3
Nina Rese
Beautiful, fantastic work Christine <3 You are so inspiring and I can't wait to see what you do with the rest of the house. The details and the craftmanship that you put into everything is just beond words. I am sure this is a stupid question, but could you have used tranparent paper (sorry don't know the english word) to trace the pattern? We have something here in Norway that we use to rap our lunch in that I often use when I want to copy something. It is what you use when you bake, but without the greced side. I just loved this video, as i do with all your videos.............can you tell I am a huuuuge fan of your work?....hahahaha........I never comment to anyone like this, but I just am so impressed and inspired by you. Have a wonderful week. XOXO
Samantha Varela
What happened to the old wallpaper?
Samantha Varela
Wow! That’s incredible. 🥰
Inès
What a HUGE amount of work ! It was worth waiting for 😍😍
Mariko
love it! your such an inspiration💓
Tadgh Kirby
Fantastic work. I don't know where you get the patience from. I'm struggling to finish painting my kitchen cupboards. :D I must say though, am I the only one who worries about Christine's feet when she's doing projects? Seeing her wear socks or flat pumps when on ladders or next to power saws genuinely gives me anxiety. o.O
Cheryl Kirkpatrick
Beautiful-would you ever have your own original wall paper design professionally printed? Like commercially so your patreons could purchase it.
Caroline Draper
You have the most incredible patient Christine, it looks a million times better. I adore the green majolica dinner set with the dusty pink napkins and gold accents, i'm inspired. Love love love X
Anastasia
Wow, the room looks amazing! I do hope your wallpapers are arsenic-free and safe to be around. BTW, you look gorgeous in that pink dress, I wish you had a doll line to dress them in mini copies of your outfits. Or you can customize one!
Charlotte Sandodden
Thank you !
Jillian Schleger
WOW! That looks amazing :) Your work is absolutely stunning👑💗🌟
Laura
I enjoyed this so much, you did an incredible job and the result was stunning. You're such an inspiration to me.
Deidre Down
Wow! That was incredible Christine! Was so excited to watch this. The wallpaper is truly magnificent and beautifully coloured and, as always, you did an amazing job! It was well worth the wait indeed! 👍👍👍
Andie
Super excited about this video stunning. I was wondering if you or others were able to find the stencil for this on Patreon? I must be looking in the wrong place.
Janine Rigby
WOW amazing wonderful work! I love looking at what Christine does. 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Sherry Sirianni
Amazing!! You are incredible! What patience you have Your house is incredible and so are you, what a hard worker you are. Can’t wait to see what else you achieve. Also love the music in your videos and great camera work and editing. 🖤
Laura Pennington
So gorgeous you inspire me . Such a romantic dinning room and those figuratively candelabras are to die for.❤️
Taci
You never cease to amaze, well worth the wait.
Keely
It’s quite something watching your level of detail. X
Marina salinas
Hot damn, you killed it. Such an artist. It’s so satisfying getting the perfect shade of paint mixed! I admire your patience and love for restoration. 🖤
July1979
I think that the motif of the yellow wallpaper would be great as an embroidered edging on white sheets and pillowcases!
Elaine Carballo
Wow! So impressive
Denise Annette Henry
Thankyou for sharing. I loved watching your exquisite talent for art and how n the world you just managed to make exact color matches so quickly? I just dont know. :)
David
Oh damn ... my granny got a whole roll of that same paper in the attic.
Tiffany Matthews
This is so beautiful!! You’re truly living the dream!!! I hope you find more original wallpaper around the house you can restore😍💕💕
Christine Brown
Also- I know moisture was a problem. Did you clean the wallpaper after removing the top layer?
Christine Brown
What do you use to make the stencils? Stock paper? Your neck and back must have been killing you doing all that work at the ceiling. Awesome job.
Peaches McDrools
The mastery of your painting... you’re a genius and the dining room is a dream!!
Karl Beck
Did you end up doing touch ups outside the large missing panel and the moisture damaged patch?
Logan Ersatz
Could you hear my screaming “what the fuck Christine how are you seriously about to do this?!” WOWWWW can’t believe it. So gorggggg! Also! That red lurking beneath!!! 😍
Karl Beck
I have questions ! Lol. Did you mix all 14 colors only once (those paint containers didn’t look very big)? Did you have to go back and make more, is that something you are writing the recipe down for? Can’t wrap my mind around how you just eyeballed this! Maybe we could have some bonus footage of what you painted in daylight? It’s really incredible. In awe!
Corey
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Maggie Proffitt
I love your aesthetic. Dangerous old lady with a penchant for murder and backgammon!
Suzana S.
The room looks incredible!
Kathryn Evers
There were 14 different colors! I think she will post the colors, but not the ratios for mixing.
Ion Hugo Hathaway
Wow Christine...
Kathryn Evers
I think that’s on her to do list! I can’t wait for that one too!
Cindy Adams
Amazing talent...and patience!
Brenda Fairbanks
Wow is an understatement!! It was/is amazingly beautiful! The attention to detail is 100% paid off in return; there’s not a difference between original and new. I also love the cobra candlesticks!! You’ve met your aesthetic goal.
Buggie
Wow! You are amazing! This was so impressive and what a huge task just to get the colors to match, let alone redo so much of the artwork by hand. Always so impressed with you skills and dedication. Inspiring as always!! 💗
Gina Radford
Wow. I colored with my granddaughter today and had a hard time finding the right colors to use, I can’t even imagine doing this. You are talented beyond words ❤️
Kim Ravenscroft
Christine you truly have a unique and of course amazing talent. I LOVE watching you create, the eye for detail you have and the amount of patience - just wow!
Nicholas Frig
Quick question: I saw red, yellow and black dye that you used. What were the ratios of how much dye to how much dye that you used to achieve that color?
Katherine
I 💖 what you've done with that dining room! Completely amazeballs
Renee Anderson
Thank you! Have you ever worked with stained glass projects?
Monique Nicole
This was amazing! I love it!
Mina Murray
I recognized your Dita Von Teese mask! I have one too.
Kimberly Hope
That was stunning, inspiring and just beautiful! That snow falling while you were working away....I’m so excited to see you back in your groove. 💕💕💕
Mikayla Campbell
Unbelievable! You are one of the most sensational talents and I get all the feels when I watch your videos! Thank you for sharing your magic with us!!🕯✨
Zelda
Beautifully and masterfully done! Thank you for sharing this gorgeous restoration!
Kim Geoffroy
Wow, this was amazing. It looks really really good. Can't wait to see what other fabulous ideas you have in store for us. I would not have had the patience, nor the talent to have tackled this, if given the oportunity, so I thank you for sharing it.
Angel
this was wonderful to see! and the way you went about matching and reproducing the damaged parts was really awesome! love your work Christine
Vicky Fox
That was absolutely splendid!
Alisa Jordan
Completely speechless. Stunning 👏🏼 I’m totally inspired and want to do this!
A Hughes
Just wonderful! Thank-you so much for the inspiration!
Lauren M
This came out so beautiful! It actually reminds me of the antique wallpaper in my house 😍
Tara Giroux
After seeing the detail in the wallpaper I thought you were absolutely insane to try to recreate it but wow, it’s stunning! The amount of extra detail you added made it look gorgeous. Can’t believe how incredibly talented you are, I love every video you put out!
Christina Zavala
The amount of talent and patience you have is 🤯I can’t wait to see what’s next this was so beautiful!!
Lisa Thibeault
Speechless 🖤
Liana Palumbo
OMG, my breath was literally taken away!! I can't even begin to put into words what's going through my blown mind. Soooo looking forward to the next step 🖤🖤
Christy B.
That wallpaper is gorgeous. And the dining room turned out amazing! This video was so inspiring. ❤️
Ace&Otis
You're just amazing, you have a gift girl! Also... did you for a split second want to keep the red deco wallpaper underneath after all that work!?😳
Kelly Woolard
Wow! The detail was unbelievable! I just can not believe how incredibly detailed you are with every little aspect of this room make over. Definitely an inspiration. This old house was so lucky to have you be their owner for this moment in time. I do feel awed and a little uncomfortable! 😊
Jillian Jewett
This was amazing!
Michelle Lofthouse
What a monumental and inspiring project! The paper is gorgeous and matching it with paint had to be very challenging! It turned out beautifully. Question....did the candelabras on the table come with the house? They are incredible! I love how you extended the theme of the wallpaper into the corners around the crown moldings and around the chandelier attachment point. You added so much depth and detail to the room.
Nicholas Frig
Ever since I heard about this episode I was so excited for it! A lot of people were chomping at the bit for that dress form, but this was my dress form. I loved this. That room is BEAUTIFUL. OMG.
Viki Winter
I am continuously blown away and in awe of the love and effort you've put into restoring this house! I've finally moved into my own place and you've inspired me to get cracking on some remodelling// restoring of my own!
gwenski
Thank you, Christine and Captive.That was absolutely incredible! The video was gorgeous and the music was eerily beautiful.
Chad
AHHHHMAZING job!!! Absolutely the best!!
Shardith (Mar)
I'm even more convinced you're the perfect caretaker of this lovely old mansion :) She is already transforming under your care and I can't wait to see what's next!
Kittypants
I was having such a lousy week following clinical. Thank you for the update! It cheered me up, and the room looks amazing! I really want to know where you got the pink elephants!
Christina Smith
Absolutely masterfully done! I am in blown away, as always! Thank you for sharing your talents! 🥀
Johnny M
Yay I have new ideas! Spooky queen 🖤🖤
Carolinian Classroom
Holy crap Christine you must be so happy and satisfied with the result of what is obviously a crazy amount of hard work for that wallpaper!
Sara Mason
You have the patience of a saint. I was exhausted just watching this! The room has been suitably Christine'd!
Amanda Montes
Hey I just joined. I first found you on your Netflix show and became so excited that you have a Patreon!!!
Mona-Lisa Martinez
Omg Christine you’re absolutely amazing. The artistry and the attention to detail is incredible. Thanks for sharing it was definitely lovely to watch. ❤️
Stacey Rowell
It was so worth the wait! This house is your magnum opus! Never apologize for taking your time to get it right.

Amanda Menjivar
SO EXCITED! Thank you Christine!!
Carla Perea Seminaro
Love the Victorian Wallpaper!!! You’re so talented and did a fantastic job. Thanks for sharing ♥️🌹
Cecelia Breslin
holly moly! I went mad bonkers ripping down 1960’s (BAD) wallpaper last spring with lockdown anxiety/boredom. I have been putting off just PAINTING my front room. one.color. you’re putting my lazy ass to shame.
Ryan the GM
Just WOW! Your attention to detail is top notch. You should be supremely proud of yourself. I don't think I could pick out the restored wallpaper from the original. Stunning work!
Angela Pearson
Wow! Beautiful work (as always) simply stunning 🖤
Emily
Wow! It looks sensational! You're always so diligent (as well as skilled and talented) and it really shows in the end results! 😍 If you ever have to do large sections of wall again, scanning it into Photoshop to make a digital template and projecting it onto the wall may save you a few steps. ❤️
The Homesick Brit
Christine! This was so far above and beyond being worth the wait. You continue to astonish and amaze with the scope of your talents and generosity. The room as a whole is stunning, but the wallpaper and stencil work on the ceiling are breathtaking. Brilliant work, as always. I hope this house gives you many years of pride and joy. Sending love, regards and admiration to you, the Captive, and the beloved fur babies. XOXOX (PS - The acknowledgement was lovely and much appreciated, though wholly unnecessary. Happy to have helped in a microscopic way. 😉😘)
Lisa
I just uncovered some very old wallpaper in our 190-year-old house, so now I think I know what I have to do! Haha. This was fascinating! Thank you!
Sara Estridge
I love this! As a side note I also love the music, it sounds like Big Trouble in Little China to me 😂
Cynthia Larres
You are amazing!! Such beautiful work and the finished room is absolutely gorgeous!! 💖
CinnLara
How beautiful and inspiring! I wish I could find the motivation to be so detail oriented about anything in my life the way Christine is about replicating this wallpaper pattern 💖
DMCM
Christine!! How beautiful....and you managed to do an exceptional job, as always. Your patience, talent and determination to get it right, is just amazing. It’s gorgeous! The paper is pretty much what I expected and you truly honored its beauty. I think this house has been waiting for you. I also love seeing you wear your beautiful dresses. Thank you for a wonderful episode! 💕✨🌸🌿🌺🌱✨💖
Lisa Ames

Can’t wait to watch tonight 🥰
Judy K. Zamlen-Spotts
And the videography is hypnotizing. I loved the pan of the window showing the snow in the yard, etc.
Kit McElvar
Loving this Victorian vibe. Would love some Victorian hair art tutorials.
Scribby Scribner
The wallpaper is GORGEOUS!
Judy K. Zamlen-Spotts
