Until today I didn't knew I want pink elephant salt and peper shakers

I’m sure the original owners are dancing in their graves with giddiness that YOU moved in! No one else would restore it with the love and creepiness you will 💕💙

This feels like the premise of a ghost story. The looming old house at the end of the road, its dining room always set for a party of guests who never arrive.

“Honestly, if they’re taken too seriously, they quickly defeat the reason for existing” So true of so many pursuits.

Christine’s house is like Beauty and the Beast invites Tim Burton over. And I didn’t know I needed that aesthetic so much! 🙌

3:24 "and when actual living guests come to stay" I love the implication that Christine regularly has non-living guests come to stay.

Seeing Christine in a big spooky mansion, living her best life, gives me so much joy.

If there are ghosts in this house, they are low key laying back watching you make this house into the elegantly creepy mansion it was always meant to be.

I love how you combine tradition and whimsy, to create something that's entirely your own. The end result is beautiful.

It's almost embarrassing how excited I get when you post a video. I can't get enough of your eerie beauty. You are one of a kind!

She's obviously magic, because she has cats and her home is still always spotless. Unless she's put the ghosts to work, I don't see how she does it.

Such a nice change from the nastiness that is all around us. She makes me want to do projects and be creative, as when I was young. She is an inspiration. Uplifting for me. Thanks Christine for making the world a little nicer.

This is the best way to wake up to an April Fool’s Day. No joke. ❤️

I never understand why some people give thumbs down on these videos. It has to be out of pure jealousy for Christine's perfection.

1. I love pink and green as a color combo. 2. I love that Christine shows that you can have a gothic/spooky aesthetic with all sorts of colors!

fingers crossed that Christine becomes a legend in the small New England town she's in. I want kids to tell ghost stories her.

Minimalists exist. Christine: I'm gonna end these people's entire career just with my dining room. 🤣

The talent in this young woman is just unbelievable she is so talented in everything she does I couldn't even imagine of being able to do some of the things she's does

I so hate that there wasn't a second season of the Netflix show...I adore the vibes/esthetic of her home.

Being a dinner guest there would be an absolute dream. Truly stunning.

As an award-winning florist, I have to say that I LOVE your floral arrangements! They're gorgeous, just like everything else you make

For all of us who feel we were born in the wrong century...I thank you for bringing us into your beautiful home !!!

The worst thing Netflix ever did was let go of Christine. Best show I’ve seen in many years from an amazingly talented woman.

Could you imagine being invited to a dinner at Christine’s house? How could anyone go *WITHOUT* showing up in fancy, old fashion attire? Bring me my monocle, dear; we’re going to Christine’s this evening! 🧐

Our spooky and elegant queen gracing us with her content this fine April 1st! Woo!

Oh Christine. You have no idea how obsessed I am with your skills and abilities to see art and creativity thru your eyes. I can't tell you how many times I have watched your videos over and over just so I could recreate what you did. My husband and I are very different in our taste, but he never disagrees with me on something you taught how you recreated. You are a jewel, lovely.

OMG. Just bought an old Victorian in Rochester and moved and started fixing up the same as you. Literally finished painting the dining room. This series is timing up with my life in eerie ways.

For all us women who grew up in the 70's and clung to the timely episodes of Dark Shadows, The Monster's and all the rich Gothic Victorian daily lives , your master piesrs of tour home decor and crafts is fascinating to say the least. Especially your new mansion. Thanks Christine for you.

There isn't a thing I would change about your content. you bring so much joy to me I am unable to fully explain it. Thank you my Victorian Gothmother

God, I’m so happy she’s back. I need more Christine aesthetic in my life.

Christine is the epitome of FABULOUS

My mother entertained formally a lot. I haven't set a table in years. So nice to see this one all decked out.

I am so glad you’re uploading to KZfaq again. I truly believe if you were consistent on here you would have millions of followers, because there’s no one like you out there. I have joined her Patreon.

OMG 😱 I thought that I was seeing things but no this is real! Got my coffee and blanket. Great start to my day. Thanks!

The butter knife goes across the top of the bread plate so the bun and butter can be placed on the plate with no problem. Too many formal dinners to count. Love your table setting.

For who didn't get it, the plates you can find at Bordallo Pinheiro, they are a Portuguese brand, they have amazing things 😍

OMG! You were gone so long & then you give us 2 videos in 1 month!!! You wouldn’t believe how happy I was when I got home from a long day at work & you’d uploaded 10 mins prior!!!! Aaahhhh! I can’t wait to see what you do to any weird rooms? Do you have an attic? We don’t have them (or basements really) in Australia so that would be most interesting to me. Thank you for being you!!!!

I'm certain you're making the house spirits very happy bringing this beautiful home to life again! Stunning!

I'm so happy to be your dinner guest and come along on your wacky, wonderful design masterpieces! We are so lucky to have anything you put out here on YT. Thank you!!!!

i come from a very traditional French family and this is pretty much how we set the table at every family gathering ! Love the fact that you incorporated fun elements to it like the elephants and the napkins folds.

I adore your snake candle holders!!!

So your captive IS your composer!!! I always thought you had to have a composer/musician/sound designer in your pocket because the audio engineering and background music in your videos is literally the best on YT!

My aestethic for a kitchen/dining room is ALL in *pastel colors* (just like I have it), but I looooved this. 🖤

I love your table settings they are beautiful. In the 80’s I was the manager of the China, Crystal and Silver department in the now forgotten Broadway Department store. It was an upscale store like a Nordstrom’s or Macy’s but snootier than Macy’s. While working there I learned all about setting a fine table and having a good set of China for formal and everyday. Now that I am much older I have a full collection of China in my house. My everyday China is green vintage fire king , I use this for snacks and also the dogs dinner bowls. I have all the refrigerator and stove top accessories as well as mixing bowls and measuring cups etc. my house though nothing as grand as your is a 4 bedroom 4 bath ranch house built in 1976 and I just bought it in northeastern Texas. I’ve been here for a year. My house has all the formal rooms a traditional house should have which I love. In my breakfast room which is a large round room with a wall of windows and a China cabinet of 6 doors across all curved like the room is full of my everyday good China, classic vintage Franciscan pottery Desert Rose, and I have collected service for 12 in it and have every dish they make, the China cabinet looks great with them in it . In my dining room I have a large China cabinet as well and it is full of my fine bone China from Lenox called Castle Garden a lovely creamy bone colored plate with gold rim and delicate floral around the edges. I have my table set for a fancy dinner party as well. I have a large silver chest with 8 drawers which holds my mother and grandmothers silverware which is Rogers brothers first love pattern and a fully stocked bar of Waterford crystal glassware, everything in service for 12. I have purchased all of this one piece at a time through eBay as my patterns are no discontinued. Just like you I started with a charger of chrome and gold, but I have 2 tablecloths on the table a beautiful white linen Irish cloth topped with a vintage light green cut work tablecloth with matching napkins. I bought twelve serving spoons in my silver pattern and sent them to a jewelry crafter on Etsy and they made me 12 napkin rings out of the handles. My fancy table is set with soup bowls and I have every kind of spoon and fork one could use on the sides of my plates. I used little sterling jewel encrusted name card holders with white cards and each place setting has its napkin fan folded and a large hand made light greet gauzy ribbon bow. I love having the table set just like you do. I covet your house, which is sinful, but I love what I have because it is mine. I love watching your videos and your voice is so soothing and tranquil I could just listen to you for hours.

I could watch Christine all day every day. Everything she creates is beautiful, thoughtful and has meaning. She is incredible!

Her creations and videos never disappoint. Christine is the best!

Christine McConnell is what happens when you follow your passion in life. The dining room is sheer perfection, not to mention that white dress worn in the introduction! I, too, located an incredible antique crystal chandelier on Craigslist and it truly has to be one of the most amazing pieces in my home. With a little patience one can find exactly what you're looking for. I had never heard of the knife rests, but think I will spend some time online hunting for a set!

My mother in law is in love with table dressings and taught my social roach self that "forks go on the left, because fork and left have four letters, and knife and right have five letters" so now I will remember for any other reason except to day dream about being invited to a fancy dinner. I love your content Christine 💕

Dear God, woman! To be inside your brain, even for a day, would satisfy my creativity for a year!! I LOVE your channel! You are so inspiring!

I'm pretty sure kids would tell scary stories of the women who lives in the creepy mansion. You might be the first youtber's patreon I've ever joined, love your content.

Christine when I first saw the Pink Elephants all I could think about was, "Pink elephants on parade."🎵🎶🎼

I could watch her everyday! Bring us more Christine!

I bet the ghosts in Christine's home are so happy to see everything returned to its original beauty.

Yes! Bordallo Pinheiro! They still operate and make the coolest things! I thought I recognized those plates! They're made in my Dad's hometown, Caldas da Rainha in Portugal!

That's what I call a beautiful dining room. My compliments.

I don't even have to watch, i just listen to your videos like a podcast.

Yes, East Coast houses are usually bigger and even the small 1950s tract-style homes can be deceptively large on the inside. You did an outstanding job with the dining room and can tell each piece was lovingly and thoughtfully chosen. Again, welcome to the East Coast, Christine.

I adore the attention to detail she puts into everything she does. I imagine that’s probably pretty exhausting sometimes, but I love it. So beautiful!

I could listen to this intro on loop for days

I *love* the idea behind the pink elephants at each setting! It turned out lovely. I am feeling inspired to tackle our 100 year old house now.

I can't wait to see you do the kitchen

Quickest I have ever clicked on a video. I binge watched all of your content last weekend and am so glad to see some more.

This dining set up is screaming "welcome home coraline" and I'm here for it, ill let you sew buttons in my eyes

Christine, I have never seen such a beautiful table. I love each setting. I believe even royalty would be impressed with your ability to make us feel so grand and special. You have a talent for the beautiful and luxurious. Congratulations 👍👍❤️❤️🌹🌹🇺🇸🇺🇸🕊🕊😇😇🙏🙏🍾🍾🥂🥂

I wish I could dress up in a steampunk vintage outfit and go have dinner in that dining room! Penny Dreadful comes to mind!

if you are watching this you should go to patreon and support Christine. She is a brilliant artist so worthy of our support.

I’m so glad these episodes were made public. I love sharing them with friends. Anything to spread the word about this supernaturally talented woman. 🙏❤️

I absolutely love your elegant gothic style, it is beautiful. My daughter 12 year old Sitarra loves watching your videos with me, and dreams of meeting you one day. Thank you for all you do to bring us to your magnificent world. Blessed Be

You deserve AT LEAST one million subs! This is pure talent and skill.

I missed your Videos 😘😊

Your esthetic of this dining room is one that is warm & welcoming! Capturing a large room and turning it into something cozy and intimate is a challenge! I don’t believe any of your guests would want to leave! 💕

I love the reason behind pink elephants. Christine, there are crystal knife rests all over the place for a more formal table if ever you need. We grew up with them when I was little.

WOW!!! So much detail and it all pulls together spookily beautiful. Love the elephants. (Yes the little grey ones were tooooo adorable to leave behind.) Thank you for another Phantasmic episode.

I can’t believe you have Bordalo Pinheiro! He was such an amazing artist.

When Christine says attempt you know it’s going to come out amazing beyond belief!!!

What an honor it would be, to be seated at that beautiful table!

I could watch her all day! She is extremely talented. She truly makes the most with the gifts she has been given.

I feel like she is a mystical Goddess! Everything she does is sensational and with such detail!

One of my fantasies will now be to dine at Christine's extraordinarily beautiful dinning table ❣

This is so enchanting and it absolutely would give me the creeps if a flame would flicker. SIGN ME UP.

This is freaking me out. I was searching for how to set a table the day before Christine posted this and finding nothing I could use. Pretty sure Christine is psychic.

Lady, you've done it again! Thank you, for sharing the table ware collections. A beautiful dinning experience!

I am constantly trying to fake it till I make it to Christine perfection, but today I’m so delighted that I accidentally bought pink elephant salt and pepper shakers at an antique store last week!! One step closer! ♥️

Watching your videos brings me such joy. I moved into my very first independently owned home three years ago after getting divorced and had never had control over style/decoration before now. I spent the last two years getting back on my feet and saving up, and this year I'm finally decorating how I want with taxidermy pieces and Gothic/Victorian furniture, and your channel gives me such inspiration to be myself!

The morning just got better. ❤️ Plus I love how there is someone else out there that gets joy out setting a table. I know small things.

The lady I cook for (she's 77) always has her table set formally. When I stay and keep her company, she has a coffee setting to her right which is where I sit with a sugar and creamer set up for me and coffee going because she knows I don't eat till later. Her dishes and silverware were a wedding gift from her aunt. Bone China. Art Deco. When you hold up a plate to the light you can almost see through it.

That chandelier is absolutely fabulous. I love that the arms are also glass/crystal.

Every time I see your work, I’m swept into the dreams I’ve had for my own 1908 house. One tip regarding candles. The old guidance is, never have unburnt wicks when expecting guests. Why? White or unburnt candles implies your guests are worthy of burning the candles. They’re being saved for better company. Makes sense in a way.

It’s cute to understand why you choose the pink elephant to decorate your table. Every detail is eye candy

I love this witchy gramma aesthetic soooooo much! Perhaps because I share it :) Always a pleasure to watch the creativity Christine brings into the world, and especially when it comes to bringing this lovely old house back to life.

One day I'll get to live like Christine, what a dream

Im obsessed with the pink elephants and beautiful lady lights! They are STUNNING

Well what a beautiful morning. How lovely to make your acquaintance. Good morning everyone.

Gothic Victorian elegance from a beautiful, creative and talented host with a sense of humor and and wonderment. I love everything you do. This house in New York is your perfect canvas.

The knife rest is something I learned about when I was a kid in the 70's, and my Grandmother took me to her homeland, France. I went searching for them in the U.S. in the 90s when I got my first apartment! Found them at Pier One Imports - I was thrilled!!!

Spectacular Christine! just like you, thank you 🥂🧚‍♀️😎.

PERFECTION 👌🏻 👌🏻 👌🏻 I wish I had one tenth the focus and drive Christine has! I know she’s a real human but she’s one of the most divine ethereal beings who reminds me that being eccentric is a good thing, that being a fussy perfectionist pays off. Edit I have tons of that type of tableware! It’s Portuguese and they have the BEST patterns and colors! They use animals and plants and just create some of the sweetest and sturdy table wear. You can get it at TJMaxx well...20 years ago you could 😂 I bought OODLES

Not usually one for ornate things, but the way you pull things together is just incredible. The pink elephants are such a sweet touch 😭

Oh my stars! The green and pink scheme makes it appear as a table garden! wow! I love that you didn't use a tablecloth allowing the beautiful table to shine. So much goodness packed into one room. Congratulations!

Looking at the colours of the stone of the fireplace and wondering if this is the original wallpaper you so lovingly restored and hoping that the original lady of the house is gazing at "her" dining room with adoration. If you haven't already joined Christine's Patreon, do it. You won't regret spending more time with her in this house!
