Recreating Lost & Forgotten Plaster in a New York Mansion - From the Mind of Christine McConnell 

Christine just out here casually doing professional-level plasterwork.

SHE’S BACK!!!!

Love that no one else covered her birds and that you have honored her work and added so much of yourself to the room.

The original family would be so happy and touched to see how lovingly and painstakingly you’ve been restoring their former home

Her respect for the birds she painted is both likable and extremely respectable. I like people who restore rather than rip away.

My toxic trait is thinking I could do anything Christine McConnell does😭 What an amazing project!

I swear this woman is the real life dark cousin of Barbie, there's NOTHING this woman can't do! I'm always in pure awe at her diverse set of skills, this is beyond inspiring! 💞🦇

Using your cat to clean the floor ! Classic 😂

Professor Poof gave a guest lecture at my college. It was hard to follow at times but there was an incredible gravitas that no one could deny

As someone who has lived in the Mohawk Valley most of my life, seeing you honor the original family is so special to me. Fate must have brought you to Herkimer County. The chandelier looks lovely with your gorgeous medallion. Poof and Buttons are adorable.

So many beautiful and well built to last homes like this are being bought for the land, completely torn down for some modern monstrosity to be put up in their place or remodeled to modern to the point they lose their very soul and character. It's so nice to see someone with the talent, time and money buy one of these lovely historic homes and restore it to how it looked when it was brand new. You're saving that home Christine and I think this is a lovely and touching tribute to not just yourself and your talents but to the original owners that no doubt loved that home and were very proud of it. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

Oh my goodness, this is STUNNING. Also, thank you so much for showing yourself wearing proper PPE! I so often cringe at DIY vloggers working with fumes, dust, chemicals, heights, etc. without proper protection. Thank you for protecting yourself, and for setting a great example for others who are inspired by your projects ❤

Christine, I think what you've done would make Carrie so happy, it really makes her artwork shine, and it's that added touch the room really needed. And thanks for letting us get to meet Miss Richardson, she sounds like a lovely lady, and I think you two would have been great friends.

If there are any ghosts in this house, I'll bet they are the happiest ghosts. You've really honored so much of this place. Everything you do has such a special magic to it.

She really does everything with pro level artistry and craftsmanship. A master of all she touches! Unreal!

I’m sorry but Netflix really messed up with not giving you a second season!!!! I love seeing your art! 🥰

To anyone mixing the plaster: it needs to sit. 2:1 water to powder. Dump powder gently into water, and do nothing. For about 2 minutes. It's soaking. Then you can gently stir. No air bubbles, no vigorous mixing. You get a creamy mixture.

Man that town must just love that they sold this to you. Literally no one else would have taken the care to preserve and restore this house the way you have. It’s so wonderful to see

When I see a new Christine McConnell video I always click on it immediately, every one of her projects is just stunning.

that house is so lucky to have you. so glad there are still people who will maintain the integrity of architecture. hopefully people will see this and follow suit. enough with the greige.

OUR QUEEN HAS POSTED AGAIN!!!!

When she says she has “a little bit of an idea “, it’s always 💯 percent better than I can imagine!

Omg Christine! No wonder you never have time to post for us youtube hooligans. Youre so amazing! This is so cool!

Thank you for keeping her border!

You have the patience of a Saint. Everything you do is so high level.

Guaranteed, the lady who grew up in that room is thrilled that you left her artwork but dolled up her room. I know I'd be tickled. What a beautiful way that you honor the period of the home and the homes owners from years gone by. ❤

Your home really reminds me of The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. It’s fabulous!

Poof is the best dust mop I've ever seen. Not necessarily the most effective, but the best.

Well I know one thing. No matter where she lives Christine will never have displeased ghosts…..just maybe ghosts that have moved back in to stay with the lady that takes such gentle loving care of their joint home.

I know this will be just one out of a zillion comments that no one will ever see, but I must say that Christine is by far my favorite RU-vidr!!!

Wow. What a completely underrated channel. So unique and refreshing, Beautifully talented, and all the things that are incredibly hard to find in content these days.

Thank you for putting detail back into this world!

I’m so glade the art work wasn’t covered up by previous owners. It’s really beautiful and it actually fits in with Christine’s style.

Is there anything this glorious woman can't do?!!! PERFECTION!!! Thank you for the video!

There is no limit to your talents, you are truly gifted. I am in awe of everything you create. Thanks for sharing!

Love how she keeps the original and then adds to it. Christine is amazing! ❤❤❤

I am speechless!!! You are truly a master at all you do!

Christine, you are such a great steward to this home. You have such amazing talent and insight into restoration of your beautiful historical home.

Thank you mother, you have returned to us

I love how this home is truly everything you could ever want. You get the history, the space, and the blank slate of having to renovate it to bring it back to its former glory. I bet it brings you so much joy to wake up everyday there 😍

I have been watching everything on your channel all month, I'm so happy you have returned. ❤

Everything is possible with your talent. I love watching and waiting for each episode. This house is magnificent and I am wondering how many more rooms, corridors, etc, are left. Thank you, Christine and I love your attention to detail.

CM is definitely one of the most talented women I've ever seen! Her work is beyond gorgeous & she always makes it look so easy. Love the birds & so happy no one ever painted over them. Another amazing job by CM! I love it!!💖

Pretty sure my jaw actually hit the floor at the reveal! Christine - your talent and focus is unmatched. Your work is breathtaking.

Not only are you a true artisan but also a brilliant genius in figuring out how to do this. The light fixture is gorgeous and it’s amazing you got it all in one piece !

When I moved into my home the previous owner had fitted ceiling roses made of some kind of styrofoam. One of the first things I did was replace them with real plaster ceiling roses. Yours are beautiful

Your art, style, work, and dedication are amazing! Thanks for sharing

Кристина,ты вернулась❤! Как это правильно- не утратить традиции! Колоссальный труд,но результат этого стоил! Шедевр мастера! 👍👍👍👍👍👏

AYYYYY WHAT A LOVELY MONDAY SURPRISE!! 🎉

Beautifully weird and gorgeous. ❤ Is it too much to hope the Netflix show would come back too? 😅

Couldn’t stop saying “WOW!” Christine, you are simply amazing.

Amazing woman who can do anything she sets hermind on. Amazing house too. Compared to todays boring decors this is full of harm and most importantly her style. Absolutely wonderful!!

I so missed Christine's videos. This was worth the wait! Thank you Christine!

That’s amazing how close your pattern is to the original!! Well done.

Aren't those birds called barn swallows? The light fictures today and in a previous episode are stunning - I love antiques.

Oh my gosh so excited to see a new video!!

Your mansion is gorgeous, the plasterwork looks amazing! love the vintage jewelry your wearing too!!

I love that you did this with actual plaster!

LOVE how the room now highlights the bird art!

🌸 I am quite sure Ms Carrie L Richardson will definitely approve I’m so happy you preserved her original birds 🦢 This is such an inspiration to me, I started my art again and my sculpting, it renewed my soul 🕊

Absolutely gorgeous! I love her birds. Thank you for keeping them.

Oh my, how fascinating! I have never seen your channel before, I follow a couple (to be honest, a few!) chateau renovations in France, this is similar but different with more glamour. Wonderful. From Australia 🇦🇺

The grand reveal is more stunning than I could have ever imagined 🤩 As Always!! Wonderful work!!!

The room looks so adorable now. Your hard work really paid off.

Wow...Christine! It's been a long time. Nice to see you again. My most favourite artist.

I’m so glad you changed the blue wall. That tone was fighting the original art frieze. Looks great now.

Im forever grateful that you got this beautiful house. You’ve given so much heart to this home, keeping its historical integrity, but also giving your own touch to it. You’re doing a bang up job😍

Absolutely Gorgeous/Beautiful, the previous owners would be PROUD 🤩🖤

She posted! She created ! Remarkably as always.

The fact that you kept the birds and not only honored but also complimented her work made me a little emotional. I love that you told her story and gave her the recognition. If some of her family is still around I hope they see this!

Omg! We missed you so much. We need you!!!

Yay!! I miss Christine and her amazing videos. More please, Christine McConnell! 🩷😁🩷😁🩷

Christine is the most elegant woman I've ever seen. Not even exaggerating. The fact that she is so creative is attractive too.

What a blessed day. Christine has graced us with another beautiful video.

Absolutely stunning! Really elegant and creative whilst still keeping true to the spirit of the house. A breath of fresh air in this boxy grey world.

Coffered ceilings are prohibitively expensive to put in. Those medallions are absolutely beautiful! I live near a Victorian town called Port Townsend. I had opportunity to docent during the annual Victorian Homes tour. Many of these over 100 year old homes are opened for people to tour. Some of the homes owners have spent decades restoring them.

Christine, you never cease to amaze me with your elegance, talent and beauty! Your pets are adorable, I have a particular soft spot for Professor Poof.

OMG Mom finally uploaded again!! 💚

Wow…you’re a Queen 👏 i also wanted to congratulate you about your pronunciation 👌 i am French and your English and pronunciation is so good not only i understand everything but i could listen at you for hours for pure pleasure . Last point, i lost my adorable dog 2 months ago , she was 16 y.old and she was the spitting image of your dog !!!🫣❤️…… Thank you for the video

My husband and I watch you together as one of our things we do together. He once remarked that it was too bad that the house didn't have a billiards room because he thought you could do some really awesome things on pool table felt and the overhang light would have been something amazing picked by you.

What a beautiful thought to have painted birds on the wall as a child, then to pass looking at those same birds. It just feels like a beautiful way to go.

This is turning out to be a great day! 🙂❤️

Christine, It's so touching how you honor and respect the memory of Miss Richardson and the Manson. Your attention to the historical detail is insane and the decision to save Miss Richardson's painting brings me to tears. Thanks to the Caption for his work as well.

Another Christine McConnell project pure perfection *chef's kiss*

O.h mu goodness! I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this video pop up! We miss you and your content. ❤❤❤❤

Exquisite Christine, and your fur babies as well ,love is the key, always 💞

Hi in my 50 years of being a plasterer in Australia I have covered over and uncovered some plaster works of art,it pleases me to see some one taking time to show the world a fading trade,keep up the great work, bless you.

I love all of these episodes. I live in Saratoga Springs and was raised around things from this age. It gets into your soul and becomes part of you. It's hard to explain how one develops comfort and security in the spirit that reverberates through the decades. I guess I sound like I'm babbling, but if you understand and experience the charm and tranquility of the past, it's as if you are one with the past and its energies. Christine is a master of resurrection. I know so many like her, but none as competent. I can't say enough. If Christine ever visits the racing city (Saratoga Springs), she will see an amazing community that has a rich and endless array of mansions and culture that runs along the rails of her genius mind.

Just amazing work!!! I hope that one day you’ll do a walk through of the whole house and everything youve worked on ❤

She's back and worth waiting for. ❤️❤️❤️

This turned out absolutely stunning! You are a true magician!! I also wanted to thank you for being so gracious with your fans. I met you and your husband briefly at Disneyland last year, and you were so nice to me. 😊 I hope you guys ended up being able to ride Space Mountain!

i know its not halloween lol so this is a nice suprise, right back to watching this . simon uk

I followed the process on patreon and I am impressed by the result. Beautiful Christine You are a victorian goddess🙏🏻✨

I just know that her spirit is so grateful and honored that you are the owner of this home. You treat everything with such care and respect, but have the same creative drive and beautiful ideas that she did.

You’ve been missed!!! More than excited to watch your work your magic! Absolutely beautiful! Wish you had a weekly video! You’ve made my day! ❤ love the history of your home! ❤ AND wish AlLL your video’s were on DVD’s! 🐈 🐶 🦜

Happy Memorial Day!!🇺🇸 boy am I glad that I was off and home to see this yay!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤

Yes!!!! So excited to see her again!

I actually gasped when I saw that you posted a new video! I am so excited to watch this!

It never ceases to amaze me how driven you are to create. It's like you tapped into an endless wellspring of inspiration from birth and haven't stopped yet!

I have been re-watching old vids because I was missing you, Christine! Yay for a new one!
