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!

2022-12-14 15:14:24 +0000 UTCSuch 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!

2021-10-08 18:00:05 +0000 UTCDo you also keep the table set to avoid having to find somewhere to store the china?

2021-05-01 02:31:53 +0000 UTCDear 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 ♥

2021-04-30 20:03:59 +0000 UTCBrilliant idea!!!
helen crawford
2021-04-16 19:34:22 +0000 UTCI 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.

2021-04-16 01:53:45 +0000 UTCAwesome, as per usual - and I cannot wait for the April episode(s)!
Letha Anderson
2021-04-16 01:08:17 +0000 UTCA 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
2021-04-15 01:08:56 +0000 UTCHello 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
Christine McConnell
2021-04-13 12:15:44 +0000 UTCWhere 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.
Kathleen Smith
2021-04-13 03:12:45 +0000 UTCHello! ♥ 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
Adelheid
2021-04-12 21:31:01 +0000 UTCThe white dress is STUNNING! I love the pink elephant theme! Please consider doing a future episode if you do another chandelier overall!
Karl Beck
2021-04-12 04:03:04 +0000 UTCThis 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.

2021-04-11 15:03:47 +0000 UTCThat is SO enchanting!
helen crawford
2021-04-09 17:14:26 +0000 UTCWhat is the brand of that beautiful cake stand with the croissants? 😍
kristen
2021-04-07 22:50:16 +0000 UTCThe 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.
Damn-it-Janet
2021-04-06 19:13:11 +0000 UTCIt 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!
Elisabeth
2021-04-05 11:27:52 +0000 UTCYes possibly so the camera and lighting wouldn’t get in the shot. The lighting can be blinding
Jennifer
2021-04-04 20:54:59 +0000 UTCI have been thinking about this episode since I watched it, everything chosen with careful intention. I love it.
L.W. Nicholson
2021-04-04 19:42:56 +0000 UTCI think she just has cardboard backing in them with no mirror yet? It looks like cardboard.
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2021-04-04 00:46:35 +0000 UTCI 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
Mia0909
2021-04-03 21:01:25 +0000 UTCI received crystal knife rests for me wedding! I'll start using them..., now.
Judy K. Zamlen-Spotts
2021-04-03 19:23:28 +0000 UTCI 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! }:-)

2021-04-03 18:04:32 +0000 UTCSuch an inspiration ❤️

Matt Leguillon
2021-04-03 03:01:11 +0000 UTCSo pretty! Those elephants are heckin' creepy. Love it. :D
The Lady Kwiller
2021-04-03 00:46:38 +0000 UTCI loved how each setting had its own elephant s&p shakers. So freakin cute.
SamOh_WamOh
2021-04-02 23:37:38 +0000 UTCWe 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
Fox
2021-04-02 23:34:23 +0000 UTCI 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.
Meagan Sharman
2021-04-02 22:05:41 +0000 UTCAnd 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!🖤💜🖤💜
Danielle Gutierrez
2021-04-02 20:05:31 +0000 UTCI absolutely loved those snake candle holders you have❣️
Kristyn McMillie
2021-04-02 19:12:34 +0000 UTCThe 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.
Sue Smith Romero
2021-04-02 16:53:57 +0000 UTCThe 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

Haana-SikSik Sammurtok-Lavallee

Corie H
2021-04-01 21:48:13 +0000 UTCThat dining room would make any guest feel special. So beautiful and detailed.
Rebecca Phelps
2021-04-01 21:36:19 +0000 UTCI agree. I would love to see the "behind the scenes" stuff. Every step would be great to watch and not at all boring.
Tricia Slone
2021-04-01 21:27:55 +0000 UTCSo beautiful and I love the pink elephant idea😍
Christina Zavala
2021-04-01 21:16:45 +0000 UTCI would love to have dinner in that room! It's gorgeous!
Iana Nelson
2021-04-01 20:27:09 +0000 UTCI 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!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2021-04-01 19:52:35 +0000 UTCThat room is absolutely stunning! Great work!
Lureline
2021-04-01 19:47:08 +0000 UTCSo 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.
Dominique Kupersmith
2021-04-01 19:36:17 +0000 UTCReally beautiful.
Vicky
2021-04-01 19:32:00 +0000 UTCHow I wish I had a dining room or the space to store ornate table accoutrement. Living vicariously!

Sherrie Dicecco
2021-04-01 16:25:11 +0000 UTCI was wondering what the significance of the pink elephants. Now I know and the answer was much more cute than I was expecting.
Nicholas Frig
2021-04-01 16:05:04 +0000 UTCThe 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.
Kim Geoffroy
2021-04-01 15:55:21 +0000 UTCI 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

2021-04-01 14:50:50 +0000 UTCI 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.
Kris
2021-04-01 14:48:32 +0000 UTCI 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!
Shannon Hogue
2021-04-01 14:34:08 +0000 UTCYou are just the coolest!

Lizzy
2021-04-01 14:00:34 +0000 UTCTBH 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❤️❤️

2021-04-01 13:54:15 +0000 UTCThe gray elephants are for the kiddos 😉
Bryan Yu
2021-04-01 13:52:54 +0000 UTCI'm smiling at the pairs of unique pink elephants at each of the lovely formal table settings.

2021-04-01 12:41:55 +0000 UTCI was hoping this would post today! A lovely birthday surprise to wake up to. ❤️🥰
The Homesick Brit
2021-04-01 12:39:13 +0000 UTCI 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.
