Ohhh- I just bought the Rose Pouchong and it’s magical!

Peaches McDrools

Welcome to Upstate NY! You're going to have an awesome time ... soooo many antique shops ( very reasonable prices ) ! Plus so many creatives to meet :)

Robin Raabe

You've inspired me to look for a Victorian Home....best wishes to you, your husband and your fur babies!

Michele Lanham

I'm very late but I just wanted to say I'm so happy for you!!!

Meg k

I second that notion!

Noelle Mancini

I'm SUPER late to watching this live stream, but I would absolutely LOVE to partake in a Patreon party at your new home! I would give every one of my non-vital organs to make this happen.

Jennifer Treviño

Yes, please document the trip! That’s be awesome! Also, TOTALLY want a candlelight tour!!!

Letha Anderson

News!! NY is now allowing pets to be buried with owners! https://www.facebook.com/406872056080492/posts/2702566243177717/

Angela Pogue

Yes! Must be close.(capital region NY) Please have a spooky party sometime ❤️💀 I hear Halloween is a full moon, a Saturday and a couple extra hours because of the time change 😍

Lyndsay Grimes

Lol at Professor Pouffe finding something to kill at about 1230 :-)

Charlotte Meyer

Same as me! And yes, I grew up very financially unstable, and I believe I remember Christine saying she did too, at one point. Must be something all kids who grow up like that have in common—constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop!

Kimberly Hart

Trip Vlog!!!

Lyndsey Zeller

Christine, You are living my dreams. I can't wait to see what you do with your new home!

Amanda Howe

Probably fill them with stuff. Each one with fun different themes she couldn't do before because she had limited rooms. Like one might be entirely black, one all pastel, one rococo, one Halloween year round. That, and host a hell of a lot more guests and parties. 🖤

Maria Gress

Lol, first thing I thought too! "Aww yeah, can't wait to build this"

Maria Gress

I vote for a trip vlog... Good luck with your move.

Ruby Woo

So happy to support you. Not only because your work is amazing but because you are so relatable and down to earth. Your warm and genuine personality is just the cherry on top.

Janaya

where did you get your nightgown?

Nicole Clem

OMG! I know that house!!!!! My Mother's family are from around there.

Lynn Weingarden-Marston

lol are you kidding? Of course we want you to document the trip. We want that.

Felicia

I’d prefer you creating whatever content that is possible & interesting in your given situation at any moment rather than a hiatus~ thanks so much for the incredible fun & inspiration Christine! 😁 I just stumbled upon your youtube channel two days ago and am on a major binge-watching tour ever since 😅 looove your Netflix show!

Haana Yoo

POST POOF PICS PLEASE

Canelle Friis

You and I share the same exact anxieties - hahaha! I also am permanently waiting for my hands to wither away, for me to be left on the street, etc. Did you grow up poor / financially unstable by any chance?

Canelle Friis

Wow, $300K... Where I live (in Oxfordshire) you can barely get a two bedroom flat with a matchbox garden for that amount. Congratulations I am so happy for you!

Canelle Friis

Can't wait to see the house and all the exciting projects it will bring you....and us. So happy for you. You do what is the best for you when it comes to the month of moveing. I would always like to watch as much as I can from you, but if it is better for you to take a month off, then you do that. I don't care about the money.

Nina Rese

Document! I enjoy watching people experience life, especially when a spooky house is involved. And when you said like the horror movie w a spooky unseen house, I instantly thought of The Spiderwick Chronicles! So excited for your new adventure. I just joined Patreon a few days ago and you are my only .. “account” ?, and I’ve been binging your videos! Thank you for sharing your amazing art and perspective.

Amaren

For the possible house tour you just must wear long white billowing dress, like heroines on the covers of gothic romance, except they are running from the mansion and you'll be running THE mansion.

Anastasia

I vote that you still charge us so you are not out and vlog the lead-up experience.

Jessica Harmsworth

We're now looking around that area in California as a potential place to move (day-dreaming). The houses are so cheap. Why is that? Are people scared of potential fires?

Sarah

Love to watch a documentary of the trip

Melissa Acosta

I will take a whole week's worth of vacation to meet you (Sister Goddess) and help you some with your new house. <3

Patricia Szoke

I cannot wait to see your new adventure! I’m beyond excited to see this amazing house!!!

Kitty Lang

So excited for you and your new house! Would love to watch your road trip and first view of the house.

Jillian Jewett

You should document your trip! That would be awesome to see. If you decide to take some small off the road adventures during your cross country adventure, Grand Rapids, MI is a excellent place to stop and see. 😁

Monica Adams

Having just caught up on the livestream, i can say I’m very happy to watch any road trip/first view of the new house you may want to do. Good luck on your move :)

Deborah

Girl, you are gutsy. Buying an old house sight unseen is scary to me and exciting at the same time. Sounds exciting.

Nancy Jones

Yes, document the trip!!

Libby Donovan

The one picture, your new home looks like the Bate's Home!! STUNNING!!!

Kelly Phillips

That would be wonderful if you could video document the journey!!

Kelly Phillips

August is my wedding anniversary so I would LOVE to see a tour of the house!

Brandon Yarberry

Put the Fridge on a platform (decorated of course) to bring it up to your height. they do that for Washer/Dryers apartment size ones that are so tiny and low, they build up a platform so you don't have to bend over so much.

Mary Gobet

Now for my thoughts about video content. I would love to see a rough video of the trip across country as seen through your eyes. No need to be perfect or staged. As for when you enter the home. Oh yes, carry a candelabrum and have the go pro on you facing the room so we get your perspective. Raw footage is perfectly fine. We can wait for your perfection when you start creating each room/item.

Mary Gobet

OK, ok ok. . .I need you to read this book on your trip across country. It is small, but full of super cool spooky and weird facts. The Lives They Left Behind by Darby Penney & Peter Stastny. It is about the Willard state hospital in New York. It was being demolished but before that a curator for the New York State museum went into it. They pried open the door of one of the attics and found a storage room of suitcases of many many of the patients/inmates. They documented and researched everything and created a book of specific patients and what was in the suitcases and how they got there and how they left. Fascinating and totally works into your creep factor. It's only 200 pages and has photo references of the people and suitcase items. This hospital was opened in 1860 by the Quakers. You NEED to read this.

Mary Gobet

So excited for you! What a find! Can't wait to follow your next great adventure!

This Enchanted House

patreon party would be the best ! Sure I would come from Canada just to participate :-)

Aurelie Suberchicot

Everything you create is magical!! I would adore a night tour of the new property!! Best wishes on your trip and move!!

Janet

Omg please have a patreon only halloween party!!! I will find a way to make it to the U.S! The housing is ridiculously expensive in Australia :( Please take care of yourselves ( you and hubby etc.) , moving is incredibly stressful.

E. M

Technically you can still do your 3 videos for the month of August (or just combine as an all in one too)...YouTube Video could be the road trip; Patreon Exclusive could be the arrival at the house, the drive up, the first views of the house, the excitement, the tah dah!! and the outdoor property ; The live stream could be the candle light tour of the house; :D

Sophia Z

I can't wait to see the new house! <3

artemide tauridea

I need a video about rewiring an old lamp because I want redo my late grandma’s lamps 😅

Katrina Dixon

I vote for video blog of trip and new house 😊 ❤️

Katrina Dixon

Check out Big Chill - they have retro fries, cooker hoods and stoves xx

anita bhagwandas

Oh yes! A documentary of the trip and a creepy Blair Witch video of the house at night when you get there (I'm picturing a night arrival) and then a morning tour when the sun is up so we can see more. But NO editing - you don't need the pressure of production during your move!

Aunt Debbie Halloween

Hi Christine, is this house in Sharon Springs, NY? I stayed at a large B&B that used to be a Brothel. The owners had llama.

Linda

I think you will love Aga stoves! Check out Martha Stewart’s old YouTube video on hers!

Jerilyn Campbell

I think one of those closed Wardian cases would be a great project for you, they look so spooky, Victorian and once you’ve closed them you never have to take care of that plant again 😄

Janine

When can I submit my resume for creepy head housekeeper 👀

Breanna Beaudoin

please continue to make your video documentaion of this wonderful journey you are about to embark upon. I am looking forward to your journey and arrival to your new home! I am so glad I was able to in some small part contribute to your artistic path.

Robin D.

The idea of the candlelight tour sounds great!

Marielle Bodenheimer

I am sincerely excited for all of your future content. Your bra is cute. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey Christine 🖤

Marina salinas

Can I just say and I hope others agree with me, please don't feel like you have to be producing the incredible quality videos you have been during your move. I for one would love to see a little adventure montage with getting the kitties loaded up and hitting the road. Some cool scenery on your way, cute road outfits and stops, and just a fun adventure. I'm sure none of us expect your usual video quality and rather phone cam montages. Please don't stress about it. Everyone is just excited for you, it is tough to take your quality levels down a little when you're so exacting about them but road trips are fun and absolutely everyone loves a day in the life!

Dawn Hargy-Louden

How were your first emotions when you decided to move on the other side of the country? I bought my own house 4 years ago when I was younger & it took me literally 3 months to literally move because I was so sad to part with my mum but my house is literally 10 mins away! It’s not even far and I still felt sad. How did you feel?

Vi

What you said about being a little depressed really hit home with me, and I can’t tell you have much watching this video perked me up. I think I’m as excited for this house as you are! Can’t wait to see it and what you do with it. The rug will never be pulled out from under you because the world will always need creative people like you :)

Rachel

I can't wait until the new home adventure! That's so exciting! Looking forward to the oil painting this week!

A.M. McPherson

Im so excited for you! Cant wait to see the list of houses you were looking at too!

Megan

Very exciting news! Will look forward to the vlog(s) about the move.

A Hughes

I’m so excited about this house🖤If possible I would love for you not to skip the month you move I must see this house

Christina Zavala

This is going to be more excitement I’ve had in my life for a long time, I’m so ready for you to do this journey and the house is gorgeous! And don’t skip my Patreon, I’ll keep paying for as long as you need off. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 👻👻

Gina Radford

Love to go on the adventure. If possible but I agree that if you to skip a month then do that. I do not mind paying for the month anyway

Catherine Brennan

Might be strange to ask, but is there any way you can provide blueprints? I've recently been on a Sims kick and would love to try to recreate it! Obviously, I'm down to wait for them until after the move-in reveal, but I figured I'd ask now.

DC

Yes- post on Instagram with #Creatingwithchristine

Ellerie “Sit in Your Tears” Maddox

I just want to sit and listen to this for hours and hours and hours. I CANNOT believe she has the patience to not jump in her car and drive directly to the airport and go there TODAY. I’m about to crawl through the roof to get started on this. Ohmygosh how can we wait until August?!?!

Ellerie “Sit in Your Tears” Maddox

I want to see every single step of renovating and Christine-ifying that house!!

Amber

Definitely document going across country and seeing the house for the first time. A Halloween party once a year would be incredible. I have about 12 ceramic molds that my mother owned when I was a kid and I have no use for them if you want them. I’m in KY though. You could get some cheap Styrofoam coolers to put your exhumed pets in on the trip. :)

Rebecca Valentine

Best news I’ve heard all day! So excited for you, and excited for us. I think we’re all about to see Christine McConnell level up by about, as you would say, 1000 percent!

Eric Mutzabaugh

I love this idea!

Clara Vratsanos

Can you post the house photos you showed us in the video? I would love to get a closer look at the ones you decided to share!!

Carly L

DOCUMENT PLEASE! I would love that!!! :)

Leah Sims

Love the idea for the house tour and documentary! Wouldn’t even be mad if you skipped a month and still charge to be honest!

Kristina pierce

I'd love it if HGTV could take your journey and document it for you. It would be a wonderful series to watch your house come to life. But I'm happy to hear the news.

Rick Henson

I would love it if you could share some tips for how to find an awesome, giant house like that! 😍

Alexxis Johnson

I would love to see a video documentary of the move and new house tour! I am actually buying a house also and moving in August! I am excited for this new adventure and can’t wait to see what you do and inspire me to do!

Veronica Rohrlack

"They are so much fun to make, I mean, aside from, like, the making your fingers bleed..." - I've been looking for the most perfect quote to display in my craft room for inspiration and this is it! Thank you Christine :)

Tami Flores

Gothic litter box. Make it replica of your new house. :)

Racheal Jones

I am imagining attending a Patreon summer lawn party or Halloween... (I was typing this just as you started talking about it!)

Racheal Jones

Ahh I can't wait to see the new house! A murder mystery weekend would be fantastic.

Katy K

Peanut butter! No wonder you're his favorite now. :)

Racheal Jones

Yes please document the move!

Carmella Ramsey

Thank you so much for help! ❤️

Jotei

yes please document the move, you can do it vlog style, so really casual, just pick up the camera and chat to us :) I'd be completely happy if you wanted to do one vlog 'behind the scenes' video each month along side your beautifully edited video, would be nice to see your processes behind the camera :) x

Simone Macdonald

The haunted mansion in Disney World was replicated from the mansion next to the Asa Packer Mansion in Jim Thorpe , PA. It is a Bed and Breakfast next to the Asa Packer Mansion. He was the son. Jim Thorpe is a beautiful Victorian town called the Little Switzerland of the East. It is the exit right before the Lehigh Valley tunnel.

Mary Sacco

Moving doc, please!

Nicole Jonsson

please I will LOVE to see the moving documentary!

Maria

I'm all for you documenting the move, as long as it doesn't interfere and cause problems for the journey. Again, thanks for sharing your talents and life experiences.

Angela White

is there any way for us to share photos of things we've made from your videos?

Christy Cupcakes

Love the idea of the documentary-style journey!

Bethany A. McConnell

Hi there has it cut out for anyone else?

Clara Vratsanos

Oh my gosh thank you!

Clara Vratsanos

Yes that’s such a great idea!!

Clara Vratsanos

I’m so happy for you and so thankful to be able to see the whole journey. That’s been by dream since childhood. Never did I expect to be in the area I am in. There’s nothing pretty here. All new houses that looked exactly the same. Thank you for sharing so I can see it happen! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

PennySized Dreadfuls

I always love these! Thank you so much for sharing

Gina

Will you sell any merch?

Foxlair18

elmira stove-works is at. Dita's cabin

Molly Pruitt

BTW Christine, I live in Amsterdam and my upstairs neighbours have just sold their apartment (127 f2) for the same price of your haunted mansion of your dreams.. crazy right!

Hannah Graham-de Vries

So excited to see more of the house. Thank you for bringing us along for the ride!

Paul Fliedner

Likewise, I would fly in from the Netherlands

Hannah Graham-de Vries

I LOVE your dress!

Yvonne Rodgers

have you ever re-wired the antique lamps?

Molly Pruitt

Will you ever show us your record collection? :)

Foxlair18

Will you ever consider doing a video on your creative process, how you plan out a timeline of a project?

Sandra Peters

We adopted our cat Crowley at the beginning of the pandemic and he is like a puppy. He’s the best pet I’ve ever had. I’m so I love.

PennySized Dreadfuls

Lauren Smith just helped me with this - "Open the live in youtube and you can see all the comments she's seeing." I usually watch on Patreon app on my phone and mirror to apple tv. I logged on patreon.com on my PC and launched it there as well, saw link at the bottom of the video to watch on YouTube, and to the right are the comments she's reading.

Dagny Sigurjonsdottir

Please, make longer crafting episodes!!

Jotei

You said a while ago that you love pink tissues but can’t find them, where I live they’re standard, if you’d ever like a pink tissue care package let me know I’d love to send one!

Clara Vratsanos

Have you ever seen the versailles style pet beds - I be those would be easy to make into gothic litter boxes

Molly Pruitt

Oh my gosh thank you so much!!!

Dagny Sigurjonsdottir

Will you have a loud haunted door bell?

Elvia Gomez

Too close to lynching...

Liv

Broadband reports.com is what my roommate said to use to look up how good your internet service will be at the new home 🙂

Ryan McFadden

Will we be introduced to the hubby/captured hostage man? Lol

Foxlair18

You could make kitty coffins like they’re one you’re going to be buried in! It would be so romantic and great practice!

Logan Ersatz

You should consider Airbnb! I imagine tons of people would love to stay somewhere eclectic.

Tammy Terry

Christine-please do lots of research and be careful of moving companies if you’re moving everything!!!!

Karmell Mazurek

Congratulations! I would definitely show up for a party!

PennySized Dreadfuls

Definitely look into hiring volunteers for WorkAway. Would be so fun for patrons to come help with some of the more daunting tasks like gardening, maintenance, restoration and even help with production stuff or if you decide to do a bed and breakfast. Would love to help out!

Ryan McFadden

I would fly from the UK for sure.

Rebekah Cadman

Patreon Party!! Christine McConnell Con

Foxlair18

How exciting and spine tingling--- of course I want to go on a road trip and see everything your inclined to show especially the grisly parts.

Agatha Crookshaw

I finally just figured it out. Open the live in youtube and you can see all the comments she's seeing.

Lauren Smith

Have you thought about hiring some of your patrons to volunteer to help restore the new place once you move in? Would love to help out. WorkAway is also a great platform for that too! I could certainly take some time off to help out in any way

Ryan McFadden

We support you and love you girl!

Foxlair18

We adore you and want the videos and art to keep a coming!

Liv

A thousand times Yas!

Foxlair18

Document it!!! I'm happy to pay that month!

Connie H

Please do the documentary of your move instead!!

Brenda Hunt

ROAD TRIP AND CANDLELIGHT TOUR FOR SURE <3_<3

Hannah Graham-de Vries

Please document any ghosts :).

Stacey Friend

That’s a great idea!

Aisha Jafar

I vote for vlog of the trip.

Stacey Friend

I would love some vlog style videos of the new house.

Rebekah Cadman

Do what’s easier for you moving is stressful!

Liv

YES!

Cyn

Documenting sounds brilliant

Rachel Guy-Whittle

Maybe someone could film for you?

Foxlair18

Hello, where are live comments? I don't see them and can't comment as well :(

Jotei

Will you need a machete to get inside the house slashing through the trees? Lol

Foxlair18

I find chains are made much more light weight without letting your captives escape by breaking them.

Liv

Will you document the experiences?!

Foxlair18

What are you going to do with 29 bedrooms?

Vanessa DeAnda

It doesn't look as much of a fixer-upper as the other one?

Ghoulella

I’m awe 🥰

Foxlair18

Wow!! It looks amazing. How many square feet?

Ghoulella

Omg the house is perfect and perfect for you!!

Tammy Robinson

100% Hill House <3

Rachel Guy-Whittle

Omg it looks amazing!!!! Living the haunted dream! Is it haunted??

Foxlair18

Please show the house!!! Must see this new place 😃

Ryan McFadden

Yes yes yes

Vanessa DeAnda

So excited to finally see a live stream. Hello from panama!

Patricia Velasco

Yes!!!

Foxlair18

You would absolutely love my bed! That is quite a good deal for a Victorian revival bed. I splurged a bit more on mine but one of my favorite things to wake up too each morning. Just added some giant ostrich feathers to the top finials for extra fun and fancy and a crystal chandelier over the center. Lot of great marketplace finds. Can not wait to see your new place!!

Ryan McFadden

Where is the house you are buying?

Ghoulella

Where is the comments section she sees during the live feed?

Dagny Sigurjonsdottir

I'm finally able to watch a live stream of yours live!! I'm so excited!

Connie H

I'm finally able to watch a live stream of yours live!! I'm so excited!

Connie H

So happy to see you! The headboard is beautiful!

Tammy Robinson

Good morning!

Victoria Baggett

YAAAAY! :D

Kimber Nimue

Hello!!

Brenda Hunt

Highlight of my Sunday afternoon :)

Christine Papio

So excited!!!

Kimber Nimue

Yaaaay!

Logan Ersatz

Can't wait to watch this evening. Have fun everyone!

Tilura

I would have to work today. . . But what a treat for me at the end of my day. . .

Karen Butta

Jackie Adair
