The Gramophone - From the Mind of Christine McConnell

[@namismami]

Netflix needs to reevaluate their decision. Your show was awesome, and I’m so glad you still do KZbin videos! We love you!

[@tankgirllovesroos]

I concur.

[@jrp7837]

My daughter LOVES Christine's show! It's a real shame it was so short lived.

[@TheMichaelStott]

This is true, I've rewatched it quite a few times now but I think her KZbin channel allows her to focus on what she wants to do and cause it's not a big production not so hectic and full on behind the scenes 😊

[@darkwind2024]

If I had the money to buy a fully furnished and designed Christine McConnell house, I would!!!! *cries in poor*

[@Wolfsbearandsalmons]

I second that sentiment. Her home and furnishings are GORGEOUS and just to die for.

[@missmerbella]

This woman's hair deserves its own KZbin channel.

[@spaceunicorn6000]

I think Christine's definition of 'I don't have a steady hand' really means 'I can't free-hand flawlessly like a machine'

[@gra-emed3617]

I was thinking the same 🤣

Christine, you're a gem!!! I could watch these forever. 🖤

[@rebekahdavis5935]

You are right and me too. She has the focus of a Jedi.

[@TaroMaro-nx2zl]

Omg you watch Christine too?? 🙋🏻‍♀️❤ Would you do a collab? Pleaaase!

[@newtpollution]

I love the domesticity of Christine's videos. The soft, warm lighting, the pets playing in the background, her sweet and calming voice. It really feels like watching your partner craft during a quiet night in.

[@Troupee-Lennon]

Christine was mad to move house it's one the nicest Antique Dining room I ever seen you could have any type of Antique in it and would look beautiful the fire place and the lighting ....Christine this has to be one of my favourite video of your finest restoration of a Columbia Gramophone you made it so easy and it's the opposite Congratulations on a fantastic restoration I'm a collector of Antiques and Phonographs Gramophones I can see the passion Christine has thanks for sharing so looking forward to another outstanding restoration.Troupee from Ireland.👍🎷🎷

I'm sure she's only going to sell it to someone who wants to keep everything as is, hopefully one of her fans. I wish I had enough money to buy her house...

[@BellRumFreak]

And you know it's gonna happen too.

[@Foxys10]

My grandma would redo antiques. It’s amazing the eye for detail she used to have. She had a magical workshop full of different paints, supplies and concoctions. The smell of turpentine always reminds of that magical place where she would create her beautiful woodwork, art projects and designs. She also had a sewing room. My grandparents owned a house from the 1800s and they lovingly fixed it up and my grandma filled it full of antiques. Watching Christine work her magic takes me back to the days of long lost childhood and my dearly departed grandmother. Whom I jave strived my whole life to be a fraction of.

[@leemcgucken]

this is exactly why i love her, who else does this ? literally no one. i love her so much, she is my biggest inspiration

[@kittty.liveee]

Mine too, she is everything I want to be

[@rainbowcharcoal4315]

[@LynnTRoman]

That gramophone ended up beautifully! Love the purple.

[@deborahbender5333]

Christine I can't believe you're selling all the beautiful Furniture inside the house also my favorite piece was the sofa bed that you redid. I watched that went over and over and over again I loved it. You did an amazing job on a victrola beautiful. I swear lady you have the patience of Jobe to do all the beautiful things you do. Will you be sharing the next house you buy and everything that you will be doing to make the house your own.? Looking forward to your next new video. Be safe have an awesome day.

[@sbg1911]

Did she end up buying the Seward mansion in Auburn New York?

[@memsy1992]

[@biasanto]

I think she is full of ideas and she wants to redecorate her new home and bring us with her on the process. She will problem do a tone of videos about creations, decor, restoration etc. this channel is promising!

[@Roses-lilac]

This woman is so creative, I could watch all day. 💜🖤💕

[@stefaniesombaty8980]

My mom bought a house because of a window, my sister bought a house because of a Dogwood, If I wasn't across the country I would buy your home just for the interiors you plan to leave. How lucky to be the new owner!

As a note. That song was played on loop in my vintage 1940s themes haunted house for 7 hours. So I know every word to Hush Hush here comes the boogie man

[@jcaylalove8713]

Can you give me the title of the album she has and how to find it... looking on eBay and can’t find it.

[@lisashugart7865]

So loved watching you restore the Gramophone and you asked would we like watching that kind of video, and I think most would I know I did very much. You are so artistist Christine and I agree with Monica this was what we needed right now thank you for shareing your gift.

[@emilypeterson4886]

Whenever I see shots that were obviously shot by a 2nd person I automatically imagine Christine's helpful ghost friend.

[@sonjakraner367]

We've caught glimpses of what she refers to as her captive; but we call him her "camera-gimp." When I say we, I mean me and my husband/camera gimp.

[@rebaladyw6314]

Christine your work is just beautiful! I love all your videos, restorations are amazing, decorations, explanations all wonderful! You had mentioned before that you sew many of your garments and that you don't use patterns. Sewing is a passion of mine. I would absolutely love to see how you make one of your beautiful vintage dresses. My favorite silhouettes are from the early to mid 1900s. The things you wore in your house tour were so lovely. May you be well and stay well!

[@ladyravenhill6801]

[@yx6889]

OMG, Christine, you rocked that Gramophone, it's gorgeous! You're so talented!

[@silvergirl7810]

It’s a specific niche of people that do this- I’ve collected antiques since I was 15 and my house looks, well like hers and people always either say- oooh I love your house or ohhhhh, your house is scary as shit! I was always told I was an old soul- I’m guessing everyone that watches this are similar!

[@rokelle_2012]

I'm a bit of the same way. I really like vintage, cottagecore things but I also really like modern stuff to.

[@cristiaolson7327]

My friend just introduced me to this channel. Her pitch was "dude, this chick is basically you, but with more money." She started me off with the couch and wallpaper videos. I would absolutely do all these things if I had the time and resources. As it is, I recently restored a 1905 singer treadle machine, an oak armoire, and am working on restoring an oak dresser. My mother has a booth at an antique mall, and helps me by keeping a lookout for bizarre or creepy Victorian and Edwardian decor pieces. My life goal is to have a house that is equal parts Tim Burton set, Uncle Monty's house (series of unfortunate events), and Mrs Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.

[@Sateisa]

WHA-You mean you're selling your house with furniture in it? Mind blowing that you'd want completely clean slate.

[@practicalmagic9]

I think I heard her say this in a previous video. If memory serves it was her original intent. But yeah: mind blowing none the less.

[@archwayofcesar]

It’s so cool that she basically interior designed and diy’d the crap out of this house and now she’s on to the next. It’s one big functional creative project.

[@rhiannongeorge2939]

It's like one huge art piece 😭😭😭

[@stevezytveld6585]

Her home has become her artwork. This home Is Art. Just as much as The Winchester was an ever-evolving canvas that Mrs. Winchester created over her lifetime. I only hope that the State of California considers purchasing the home and surrounding land as part of a heritage program. - Cathy (&, completely accidentally, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown. Much love from Canada to all who read this. We are the eventual grandchildren of everyone who survived three centuries of a plague that so frightening it was named 'black' for the night it brought. We've done this before. We will survive, as Madam Gainer has taught us. And we will Thrive. Go make something Beautiful...

[@autumnroberts3086]

My horror thought. What if the person that buys her home basically SCRAPS EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE !?!?!? I mean people are buying the house not the decor

[@shannonlafont7884]

Oh my goodness! One day I want to get an old gramophone and repaint it like you did!!! They are an old piece of history but giving it a bit of a makeover makes it all the more charming!!! It's amazing how the gramophones still function very well decades and decades after their heyday!

"Just click your heels." (Sorry, I had to say it) ...trying times you know being cooped up.

[@brucetidwell7715]

OMG! Miss McConnell, I genuflect at your feet! I was right along with you every step of the way... "Oh, that's nice!" "Well, yes, of course you would." Although, going to so much trouble to leave in a house you are selling seems *far* to generous. Then you get to, "I just think this needs a claw foot pedestal to sit on," and you hand carved claw feet! Really, seriously, you are amazing (and perhaps just slightly very genteelly insane!) I've subscribed and can't wait to watch more. I do hope the new owner of your home appreciates how fortunate and privileged they are to own it.This was so wonderful. Thank you for sharing it. (I'm also green with envy over your production values! I might start a channel of my own if I thought I could make videos a fraction as nice.)

[@imogenll3137]

These are the two songs my grandad would always sing to me. He used to listen to Henry on the during the war. I think he may have even seen him perform at some point. It's so nice to hear that someone else knows of these songs.

@@Melody-285 Thanks for your good-hearted wishes. My advice, my warning...please, be calm, stay at home, don´t freak out with toilet paper or food (it´s nonsense). This is not a "Kung-flu" racist-twisted mind fever or something like that. This is a fight as mankind, and thanks to God that we have health care as a RIGHT. Don´t trust politics...they only think in money and power, not in people. At least in Spain, they don´t worth a single penny... We listen to incredible scientists and health specialists like Doctor Camacho, Doctor Gaona, Doctor Pertierra and Pablo Fuentes. They have awesome interviews in Mileniolive youtube channel...probably you can follow the content with youtube subtitles. Real information saves lives!!! I love the United States, I have many friends and family living there, and this type of health crisis must be understood in order to change your country for good.

Dear Christine, Thankyou for a massively entertaining video. When I tried to explain to my offspring, who were 12 & 16 at the time, that we had compact discs “before” for music, and before that , cassettes ( blank stares) and before that, vinyl records and they were played with a needle, well they fell about laughing- and said I was “tricking”. Fast forward 10 years an DJs play house music on turntables so its old news - and bands are re recording on vinyl. I actually have some old Bakelite discs, those I may have to explain gently... “ well you see, they are made of..”
