Added 2021-03-20 21:58:44 +0000 UTCThank you SO MUCH for you patience! In this episode I restore and renovate the dining room of our 1860's Victorian home.
Three more videos are coming...

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.

2022-10-04 16:38:30 +0000 UTCI want to come visit and have a glass of wine at that amazingly haunting dining room! Bravo ... as usual!
Anna Radaelli
2021-12-04 03:02:54 +0000 UTCWow! 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!

2021-04-28 05:40:56 +0000 UTCI 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?

2021-04-22 00:31:55 +0000 UTCMy neck started to ache in sympathy when you were working on the ceiling details.

Sylvia Lopez Johnson
2021-04-08 00:59:06 +0000 UTCUnbelievable restoration. I couldn't tell at all where you painted, vs the original pattern. You are so talented.
Damn-it-Janet
2021-04-06 16:16:57 +0000 UTCYou are the most talented woman on the planet. I wish I had half your talent and personality.
Robin Reed
2021-04-05 08:05:27 +0000 UTCLoved 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!

2021-04-02 23:48:40 +0000 UTCAmazing. Makes me want to rip my house apart and redo it.
Judy James
2021-04-02 15:31:27 +0000 UTCThis is the video I can't stop watching. So inspiring!
Claire McQuarrie
2021-03-31 13:32:02 +0000 UTCAmazing! Well done!!! I'd love to see a video of the wall decorations you chose for the room afterward and why. Cheers!
Kat McKay
2021-03-31 00:25:21 +0000 UTCBravo!!!!!!! Amazing work on the wallpaper, OMG. That Medallion and extra detail on the ceiling was my favorite.
Awakening Artist
2021-03-30 18:44:22 +0000 UTCi 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
CarmelizedSquid
2021-03-29 20:02:50 +0000 UTCBlown away by the talent and commitment.
Scott Bradshaw
2021-03-29 14:31:28 +0000 UTCI 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
Noelle Mancini
2021-03-26 20:42:51 +0000 UTCAbsolutely beautiful!
Carol Brown
2021-03-26 01:59:44 +0000 UTCI love that you're in this world! I truly enjoy and admire your time, detail and patience.
Kimberley Huntington

Marie c
2021-03-24 20:24:44 +0000 UTCstunning! 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
Bonnie Coniguliaro
2021-03-24 16:39:33 +0000 UTCWow! 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!
Deb McGrath
2021-03-24 02:31:45 +0000 UTCAbsolutely Breathtakingly Gorgeous! 🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜

Akulina
2021-03-23 20:44:52 +0000 UTCamazing job with the hand painting!! I swear you have TOO much patience!
Karmell Mazurek
2021-03-23 20:16:18 +0000 UTCI 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
Aline
2021-03-23 19:58:50 +0000 UTCamazing! thank you for the hard work!
Karmell Mazurek
2021-03-23 17:02:14 +0000 UTCDitto! 💗
Hayley Stephens
2021-03-23 15:12:56 +0000 UTCMy goodness. The reveal of the dining room was INCREDIBLE.
Hayley Hochstettler
2021-03-23 14:40:19 +0000 UTCWell! That was worth the wait!! Stunning dining room and amazing work from Christine, I'm in awe...
Amy Bainbridge
2021-03-23 12:56:55 +0000 UTCWOW!! 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!!
Lauren Downard
2021-03-23 11:42:41 +0000 UTCThe 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!
Bernadette Schmidt
2021-03-23 07:28:09 +0000 UTCYou need to come up with a line of homewares! Absolutely amazing!
Carlos Ponce
2021-03-23 05:29:20 +0000 UTCA 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.
Autumn
2021-03-23 01:32:39 +0000 UTCThat looks so amazing!
Liz Pearson
2021-03-23 01:20:17 +0000 UTCAbsolutely stunning! I love that wallpaper but you recreating it blew me away! So beautiful! Really enjoyed that video 💖
Brenda L.
2021-03-23 01:15:56 +0000 UTCLove the old wallpaper! It’s gorgeous! You did a fabulous job painting it!
Dayana Alvarado
2021-03-23 00:45:37 +0000 UTCYour 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.
Jenevie Shoykhet
2021-03-23 00:11:25 +0000 UTCYou 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.

2021-03-22 19:58:14 +0000 UTCAbsolutely stunning as always Christine! Your patience is admirable 💚
Chelsea Dreibelbis
2021-03-22 18:59:10 +0000 UTCIs Christine the most patient person alive or what??!! What a painstaking process!!
Kelly Miller
2021-03-22 18:53:45 +0000 UTCThere’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. 🥰
Genevieve Fernety
2021-03-22 18:46:22 +0000 UTCYou both are so talented! And yes, I feel welcomed but totally creeped out!
Shannon Smith
2021-03-22 17:13:04 +0000 UTCYou 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!
Rachel
2021-03-22 17:07:06 +0000 UTCLiterally going hard in the paint lol

Trevor Howell
2021-03-22 13:48:43 +0000 UTCI 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!!!!
Virginia Bernotas Fremarek Lempa
2021-03-22 13:24:01 +0000 UTCYour commitment to preserving this beautiful home is amazing!! Thank you so much for all you do!!
Sarah Bartlebaugh
2021-03-22 11:20:09 +0000 UTCIt 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.
April Brockman
2021-03-22 07:30:03 +0000 UTCOnce again amazed (yet not surprised) by your skills!! Stunning work, you have such patience and dedication! Love it!
Jonathan Schell
2021-03-22 07:09:23 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite episodes, I’m so amazed, you’re extraordinary <3
Cindy
2021-03-22 04:54:02 +0000 UTCIt 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.
Ryan McFadden
2021-03-22 04:53:41 +0000 UTCYou 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!
Steven Jenkins
2021-03-22 04:50:07 +0000 UTCAmazing!!! 🦇🎨🤯
Ramblin Wreck
2021-03-22 04:28:11 +0000 UTCYou 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! 🖤
Cecilia
2021-03-22 04:26:47 +0000 UTCJust 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!!!!!!
Ellerie “Sit in Your Tears” Maddox
2021-03-22 04:12:48 +0000 UTCGuilty. I’m glad it helped. Top priority is to keep her healthy so she can continue to do what she loves.
The Homesick Brit
2021-03-22 03:33:35 +0000 UTCLove the way that you transformed this room, very much keeping the original but elevating it to a whole new and amazing level.
Lisa
2021-03-22 03:15:07 +0000 UTCIt came out so beautiful! Your talent is so inspiring
Kasy Santos
2021-03-22 03:12:29 +0000 UTCI’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.

2021-03-22 03:09:58 +0000 UTCAmazing episode.
Rebecca Mitchell
2021-03-22 03:00:05 +0000 UTCWow! Your talent is unbelievable! The room looks so beautiful.

Cynthia Weaver
2021-03-22 01:10:42 +0000 UTCI mean..........I am awed.
Bernadette Vaughan
2021-03-22 00:54:18 +0000 UTCThis was great. I'm afraid to ask how long this took you to do. And someone maybe already asked that, I'm guessing.
Tanya Hermann
2021-03-22 00:52:37 +0000 UTCyou are so exceptionally talented! I love watching you restore and create
katie scott
2021-03-22 00:36:51 +0000 UTCI have a very strong feeling that the ghosts in your home are very happy. You really honored their space!
June Yorke
2021-03-22 00:25:54 +0000 UTCIf 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!
Elizabeth Ziegelbein
2021-03-22 00:16:10 +0000 UTCThank 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!

2021-03-21 23:52:27 +0000 UTCThis episode was a blast! Loved it a lot! ❤
Fay Othilia
2021-03-21 23:47:28 +0000 UTCThe paint matching was mind blowing! What a work of art
Lindsey
2021-03-21 23:11:59 +0000 UTCAll 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?
Sandra
2021-03-21 23:08:01 +0000 UTCAlso 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!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2021-03-21 22:58:37 +0000 UTCThis turned out so beautifully and was so much work!! I admire your taste and stamina! :)
Lureline
2021-03-21 22:26:33 +0000 UTCYou probably already know this but, play dough originally was a wallpaper cleaner.
Scheherazade
2021-03-21 21:14:33 +0000 UTCi believe she plastered over the wall, extra plaster + sanding would help fill in any rough edges the paper may have had
Alice Clabaugh
2021-03-21 20:38:32 +0000 UTCoh 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
Alice Clabaugh
2021-03-21 20:36:02 +0000 UTCIt’s sooo speechlessly beautiful!
Helen Shih
2021-03-21 20:14:04 +0000 UTCParchment paper?
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2021-03-21 20:06:59 +0000 UTCYou're the one that sent the paint mixer attachment - good job - she really needed that!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2021-03-21 19:58:48 +0000 UTCI have been looking as well - hopefully it pops up somewhere!
Jenna Ro
2021-03-21 19:37:35 +0000 UTCThe level of patience you have is incredible!! This turned out so beautiful!
Ashley Shively
2021-03-21 19:11:21 +0000 UTCAbsolutely love the wallpaper, and how you restored it.
Lynn
2021-03-21 18:41:17 +0000 UTCYou are sooo talented!!!! It looks incredible!
cassie ward
2021-03-21 18:31:07 +0000 UTCThere's a company called Spoonflower that will put your original designs onto fabric or wallpaper.
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2021-03-21 17:53:22 +0000 UTCIt 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!!!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2021-03-21 17:01:47 +0000 UTCHi 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. 🙌
Alexandria
2021-03-21 16:32:07 +0000 UTCYou 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 ❤️
Paulette Mickle
2021-03-21 16:28:39 +0000 UTCCHRISTINE! 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!!
Natasha
2021-03-21 16:17:59 +0000 UTCThis is so perfect!
John Pearson
2021-03-21 16:16:14 +0000 UTCI cant WAIT for her to explain how she decorated, those last shots were STUNNING
V
2021-03-21 16:09:04 +0000 UTCSo 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!
Jessica Darne
2021-03-21 16:05:32 +0000 UTCI 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?
Felicia
2021-03-21 15:49:42 +0000 UTCI wondered this too about the tracing paper! Either way, the end result is INCREDIBLE!
Lolly
2021-03-21 15:16:59 +0000 UTCWow! The color matching was SPOT ON! So impressive!
Blake
2021-03-21 14:54:49 +0000 UTCThank you.As always impressive work.
zuul81 .
2021-03-21 14:43:43 +0000 UTCWhile 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!
Audrey Coggins
2021-03-21 14:26:22 +0000 UTCJust wow. Such detail. Brava!
Casey Killoran
2021-03-21 14:22:04 +0000 UTCAmazing transformation! Such beautiful paint work, I really loved the music this episode too, it was really cool to listen to while watching.
E. M
2021-03-21 14:09:47 +0000 UTCOh wow! Just watching this exhausted me! I need a nap!
Welikemeatloaf
2021-03-21 14:08:47 +0000 UTCIncredible, 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!
Lesley Niezynski
2021-03-21 13:58:48 +0000 UTCAmazing! Jaw dropping!!!! Love it
Shelby Snow
2021-03-21 13:37:33 +0000 UTCStunning!!!!! I love that you added your own personal touches to the ceiling. The depth and shadows truly transform the room.
Kandice Tanner
2021-03-21 13:01:57 +0000 UTCThat 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
hattie1117
2021-03-21 12:50:30 +0000 UTCOH! 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
2021-03-21 11:58:22 +0000 UTCSo 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! :)
Anna Wilson

Gorgon's Eye
2021-03-21 10:55:47 +0000 UTCBeautiful, 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

2021-03-21 10:51:56 +0000 UTCWhat happened to the old wallpaper?

Mariko
2021-03-21 10:10:35 +0000 UTCFantastic 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
Tadgh Kirby
2021-03-21 10:03:59 +0000 UTCBeautiful-would you ever have your own original wall paper design professionally printed? Like commercially so your patreons could purchase it.

2021-03-21 10:03:21 +0000 UTCYou 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
Caroline Draper
2021-03-21 08:35:40 +0000 UTCWow, 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!

Keely
2021-03-21 06:17:43 +0000 UTCHot 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. 🖤
Marina salinas
2021-03-21 06:04:43 +0000 UTCI think that the motif of the yellow wallpaper would be great as an embroidered edging on white sheets and pillowcases!

Elaine Carballo
2021-03-21 05:48:06 +0000 UTCThankyou 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. :)
Denise Annette Henry
2021-03-21 05:28:33 +0000 UTCOh damn ... my granny got a whole roll of that same paper in the attic.
David
2021-03-21 05:12:12 +0000 UTCThis is so beautiful!! You’re truly living the dream!!! I hope you find more original wallpaper around the house you can restore😍💕💕
Tiffany Matthews
2021-03-21 04:44:59 +0000 UTCAlso- I know moisture was a problem. Did you clean the wallpaper after removing the top layer?
Christine Brown
2021-03-21 04:26:27 +0000 UTCWhat 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.
Christine Brown
2021-03-21 04:24:51 +0000 UTCThe mastery of your painting... you’re a genius and the dining room is a dream!!
Peaches McDrools
2021-03-21 04:24:22 +0000 UTCDid you end up doing touch ups outside the large missing panel and the moisture damaged patch?
Karl Beck
2021-03-21 04:20:25 +0000 UTCCould 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!!! 😍
Logan Ersatz
2021-03-21 04:09:25 +0000 UTCI 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!
Karl Beck
2021-03-21 04:08:41 +0000 UTCSo beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Corey
2021-03-21 04:05:03 +0000 UTCI love your aesthetic. Dangerous old lady with a penchant for murder and backgammon!

Suzana S.
2021-03-21 03:56:08 +0000 UTCThere were 14 different colors! I think she will post the colors, but not the ratios for mixing.
Kathryn Evers

Ion Hugo Hathaway

Cindy Adams
2021-03-21 03:23:05 +0000 UTCWow 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.
Brenda Fairbanks
2021-03-21 03:16:48 +0000 UTCWow! 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!! 💗
Buggie
2021-03-21 03:16:23 +0000 UTCWow. 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 ❤️
Gina Radford
2021-03-21 03:07:26 +0000 UTCChristine 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!
Kim Ravenscroft
2021-03-21 02:51:05 +0000 UTCQuick 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?
Nicholas Frig
2021-03-21 02:44:19 +0000 UTCI 💖 what you've done with that dining room! Completely amazeballs

Ace&Otis
2021-03-21 00:30:29 +0000 UTCWow! 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! 😊
Kelly Woolard
2021-03-21 00:08:50 +0000 UTCThis was amazing!
Jillian Jewett
2021-03-21 00:06:33 +0000 UTCWhat 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.
Michelle Lofthouse
2021-03-21 00:04:58 +0000 UTCEver 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.

2021-03-20 23:04:42 +0000 UTCholly 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.
Cecelia Breslin
2021-03-20 22:58:24 +0000 UTCJust 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
2021-03-20 22:49:47 +0000 UTCWow! 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. ❤️
Emily
2021-03-20 22:47:06 +0000 UTCChristine! 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. 😉😘)

2021-03-20 22:46:57 +0000 UTCI 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!
