My WEDNESDAY Inspired Loft - TOUR

[@theradicalraven14]

How happy you get when talking about the people you "adopted" is just, so pure and genuine. I'd look through them with you, lol. I saw in Kris video, you said you like to put intentions into your crystals. You're enchanting crystals and it's absolutely beautiful you were just naturally drawn to do it.

[@subscriber8881]

As I studied photography, I fell in love with looking at old pictures and wondering what their lives were like. But in terms of the not smiling thing, it was because of how long the exposures had to be. Holding still and holding a smile for as long as they had to to ensure they weren't blurry in the final image, was tiring so that's why a good chunk of portraits from way back then made them all look like they had a stick up their butts haha. Some people even had sticks behind their heads to hold their heads still for these images lol always loved fun facts like that

[@mindylee1520]

Thank you for commenting this! That's a really cool fact!

[@hollowfyre]

I came here to leave this exact comment lol. I think it's so interesting that they had to hold so still they couldn't smile. When I was younger before I'd studied photography I always wondered this too

[@subscriber8881]

@@hollowfyre haha right? I alwqays have a chuckle imagining if someone had an itch or something in the middle of a photoshoot

[@leslieedwards6011]

It was also because for decades getting your photo taken was treated as solemnly as get your portrait painted. It's the lack of smiling lasted such a long time after the exposure time reduced as the technology progressed.

[@TerraFermentata]

I love your "instant ancestor" collection. As a docent at a local history museum, I've worked on recovering the history of many people in photos and albums like yours. Last Summer, I worked on an album owned by a woman who passed in the 30s before having children. Her album led us to rediscover information about her and her family. We also learned she was a post card collector, and was part of an organization where strangers would send each other postcards by finding a persons name and address in a catalog. If you ever visit Oregon, find my museum in the little town of Joseph. I'd love to help you rediscover the histories of your instant ancestors.

[@nurmisur68]

Adore the old photos! If there are names, you might be able to track down descendants who would love them! As a genealogist (who didn’t know my family at all), it would be like winning the lottery finding photos! It warms my heart that you save them! Love the loft!❤

[@barbarateresarhiannonsreal1756]

Right? What a great & thoughtful comment.

[@genthespacewitch]

I think she said most (if not all) of those photos were from families whose line ended and there was no next of kin to take the belongings. That's why she adopted them, so they wouldn't be forgotten.

[@babevader]

One of the families looks just like one of the photos on my family tree and i really want to see them closer up.

[@panda_waifu7442]

Hey Celina, I love what you did with the loft❤❤ I hope the ghost is being nice to you 😂❤️ love your videos

[@kellysueballard7654]

Honestly, I would LOVE for you to introduce us to some of your favorite adopted ancestors! I have always loved looking at people's lives and listen to the stories that thier picture tell

[@zyasaurusrex98]

I would absolutely love to sit and look at all your instant ancestor’s photos and memories!!!! That sounds like the most fun chill low stimulation hang out sess!! I love you celina you encapsulate my energy/vibe

[@amandarosa1620]

Hey Celina, I would actually love to see a video of you showing all those older pictures and telling us their backstories!

[@SerenaVanRys]

Celina is like if me and my best friend merged together. We love your spooky self!

[@Tea_W]

I love the loft and the cozy but spooky vibe it has 😍 I think you did a great job piecing it together.

[@carolinecouch4361]

I love milk glass and the green and lemon depression glass. I've seen pink but haven't seen red before! Absolutely gorgeous. Love your taste. Don't trust 23 and me. Ancestry is the best one. My mother and I sent one of her cats DNA in to see how realistic they were. Or as they proved weren't. Mom was informed she was a female..got that one right, but apparently her cat is mostly French with some Welch like 13 percent I believe. So her cat has excellent lineage lol. My mom is cherokee,chocktaw, a tiny bit of Nez pierce and scotch and Irish. She was so mad when they tried to say she was mostly French until I reminded her it was bandits DNA lol

[@MeganSpruce90]

I think it is absolutely beautiful that you have these photos, and memories of these total strangers. Its so kind, caring and amazing that you are continuing their lives beyond the grave. People took photos for a reason, and they should forever be cherished. Such a beautiful act and sentiment

[@Katy-ys6rn]

Love everything about it. So cozy but still so you. Fun fact about old photos, the exposure would take so long while taking the picture that the goal was just to remain as still as possible. Smiles could actually result in blurred, possibly unintentionally creepy, results. My grandfather was the photographer for the town I grew up in for decades. One of my favorite, bittersweet, memories was when we had to clean out his studio and the thousands of negatives and photos he had. To this day, I will often meet a new friend or coworker or whatever and they will have an old photo of a family member with my grandfather's name and studio stamped in the corner and it's always a fun conversation starter. Love your instant ancestors 🖤🖤🖤

[@christiebolden2288]

Happy Birthday fellow February baby!!!!! My birthday is today!! I would love to read your book, I love reading in general but ghost stories, paranormal , fantasy are my favorites!! I love how you take special care and consideration for peoples things that have passed. Making them your family touches my heart and here is why.... I work at a cemetery and I see a lot of people be basically forgotten once they pass. I mean like they have family but the family doesn't come to the cemetery for the burial they just let the funeral homes drop them off. I go and stand at those burials so they at least have someone there as they are put to rest. I tell you some of the things we see families do to each other when there is a death breaks my heart. My cemetery also has a funeral home on site and I help out there as well. From helping move someone into their casket, painting beautiful ladies nails so they look nice, fiixng hair, etc. Basically anyhting I can help with. When I am helping or looking at pictures of their lives that families bring in to set up for the funeral visitations and services (which is amazing to watch their lives progress from childhood, to adulthood, to marriage and starting their families and holding their grandbabies) I talk to them. I have a few people I know tell me that is strange but I don't think it is. I totally believe in the afterlife, I saw my grandmother's ghost and had other experiences that just don't leave room for doubt in my mind on whether it is real or not!!!! Love you!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!!

[@adxmwvr]

Celina! I bought your book, Hollow! I love it so much!

[@kelliehaughney4339]

Hi Celina and Taylor 🙋🏻‍♀️I love the cozy vibes that your loft has. And I adore the way that you care for the photos of the people that would probably be in the trash if it wasn’t for your big heart ♥️ the color scheme is awesome and I love the crystals and the candles 🕯. Oh and that table is gorgeous. So wish that I could come over and have a jammie movie night with you guys 🍿🥤🫶🏼🔮

[@Michelle-kj7wv]

My whole ♥️ is broken upon learning Celina isn't living in the same country and I'm just going to pacify myself that she's in the same continent as I have discovered that finding the good amongst the bad helps keep sadness at bay alongside the werewolves 🐺🦍🐷🫎🦣🐘🐧🦥🦨🐨🪽🕊🦭🦋sorry animals trigger my adhd and other effects of being alive. Love you so much if you are still reading this ❤️ 💗 💕 💖 ♥️

[@croakiex9873]

Celina, your loft is gorgeous - I absolutely love everything about it and I would 100% sit there and look at pictures of dead people. I am very intrigued by your love for collecting old photos. The idea of collecting them and keeping the family remembered, even if you don't know who they are, really speaks to me.

[@rainemonet]

I just want to say the fact that you practice Wicca and you have your family bibles, gifts from a Native America and Tibetan chimes for prayer. Shows such a open loving spirit you are, who sees the beauty and good in all beliefs. As a person with a variety of ideas and beliefs on life, After life and “God”. I gotta say, much respect. You ARE a BEAUTIFUL spirit, with such a wonderful light. Hope you never forget it 😉❤️

[@BlueMoo1023]

I love how you collect people like Lelo from Lelo & Stitch! I don't look at it as looking at dead people, but looking at people who lived, and after seeing Coco, you are keeping them alive!

[@barbarateresarhiannonsreal1756]

I Love YOUR Space! Beautiful, Spooky & Dark. The Dark Green is AMAZING! BONUS-TIP...YOU get to name the paint color that you created! I practice Wicca, everything in your space is so perfect. You are a true inspiration. What I find interesting is why we're attracted to these objects. Does it come from our heritage, or our ancestors? Is it nature or nurture? I love that your house is haunted & I believe Leroy will protect all of you. OH! (Off the Subject) DON'T open the well (if you haven't already). JUST A FEELING... I love you guys! Taylor too!!! BLESSED-BE!

[@BriannaPhillips]

A lot of times they didn’t smile because it would take a good while for the photo to actually happen and it would happen at random so they were to sit as still as possible. I would love to see your favorite dead people pictures! ❤❤❤

[@watchingYoutube224]

Celina! I love you! You inspire me so much! I want a loft now!

[@mrs.southpaw6291]

Oh the albums of different people & their lives is so fascinating to me! I love looking back at people’s stories and wondering what things were like at that time! The stories I could tell you that have been passed down for generations and the information that I have gained in the years of my family & heritage. My great nana was born in 1898 in Maine. She was born in a teepee she lived to be 98 years old and I remember laying on the floor of my nana and papas home and her teaching me how to colour. She was a petite quiet women but I remember this story like it was yesterday. She was born a twin and she was adopted out and separated from her sister and she never knew her until she was much older. She came to New Brunswick Canada and her sister went to Ohio the eventually found eachother due to both marrying military men and brought back together without really knowing either one existed. But she used to tell me stories about our heritage as a six nation community & it’s beautiful. I now look at my nana and I see that same petite lady soft spoken & I am told I am the taller version of both. I am proud of my now very mixed heritage and even tho that is not your “heritage” it’s amazing that you take it as proud as you have! I remember the display at your home we came and signed one of your signs and left a small donation under the box. Thank you ❤️ I would love to sit and seek through all of those photo books of what those families lives looked like! Giving them a home will always make them feel at peace ❤️

[@Kathy0255]

I love how happy you are talking about your favourite adopted people and favourite crystals! My faves are turquoise, tiger eye, amethyst, and lapis lazuli. Not sure what that means, but I feel good having them near me ❤ The loft looks wonderful! Thank you for sharing!

[@Vintage.EvenStar]

What a beautiful space. I’m loving the eclectic, witchy vibe. Can’t wait to see what else you do to your home. ✨🖤✨

[@therealm.e.5232]

PLEASE GO THROUGH THE ALBUMS I LOVE THAT!!!! I can't believe I found someone who also collects family photos/albums!!!

[@StephiBauduhin]

I think it’s a stork! Love the new room great job ❤. Also I’m super moved by your picture collection; the fact that you’re giving the memory of those souls a home is just everything.

[@andreabedard9610]

I absolutely love every inch of your loft and can't wait to see what else you do with the house! As a pagan witch I adore and admire all of your crystals and herbs, total witchy vibes 💓 knowing that you also manifest and do spells makes me love u that much more.. who knew THAT was possible! 😂

[@selenaheck2690]

I love old pictures and stuff like that- I feel like I'm connected to them. I'm glad I'm not the only one who does it. I also love your space and the energy in it

[@selenaheck2690]

I would love to sit and look at pictures with you🥺

[@phoenixredd721]

I would sit for hours and look through the old photos with you! My grandma was into taking pictures and saving them. My favorite thing was to go through her photos with her ❤

[@harleythompson6588]

I would like to see more photos!! It's so sweet that you keep the photos and remember them. 💕 I have always thought it's so sad there's nobody to love all those old photos

[@donna1482]

My partner and my self are in to old pics we are currently getting frames to put all the old pictures, people we don't even know, all on the wall that goes up our stairs. Would love to see more of your pics . Big love to you guys 🇬🇧 xxx

[@isabellaflores8433]

I would so love to look through all your pictures of dead people with you!! 🖤Cuz tbh I love doing that too, my family has a bunch of picture books of my family that are from every part of our lives and we even have an old book that has pictures of my old church that I used to go. the pictures are from about the 1890's to the 1960's it's cool to see the history about it and the history from other people! God I could talk about that forever, but seeing other people interested in this stuff too makes me happy and I'm glad I'm not the only one...🖤

[@rachelturner5837]

I would love to sit and go through your instant ancestors. I love looking through photos, it's so interesting. I love that you collect them 🥰 This room looks freaking amazing Celina! Also i cant wait to get Hollow.

[@NailsbyKatieLeduc]

The tool for grinding herbs is a Mortar and Pestle! ❤ and I would totally look at those photo albums with you!

[@aimeed4523]

Loved this content. I used to have an obsidian collection. My dad used to find them in the mountains when he would go hunting. I also used to find quartz around my house as a kid. One of the perks of growing in gold country. CA gold rush started about 30 minutes from my house.

[@lisareynoso3872]

Your loft is amazing! Such a safe, cozy, moody space. I love it!

[@aliciacaldwell950]

I would definitely look through those photo albums with you. I would love if you did a video or something, going through some of them!

[@barbarateresarhiannonsreal1756]

YES! I'm an eBay reseller (Rhiannon's Realm) & have a whole box of old photos. I'm going to go through them & pick some that I connect with, the rest I will sell on eBay. I would LOVE to see Celina's collection.

[@Fearlesscandy1991]

I love that you showed us your little witch nook! I love that you inspire all of us. Thanks for being amazing

[@pamcoleman5886]

Please please PLEASE share more about your instant ancestors, I'd LOVE a crystal collection tour and to know what herbs you like working with and everything about your favorite oddities! My goal in life is to have either a whole room or house theme with really cool oddities. Id also love to hear more about your post mortem photo collection as I have always been fascinated with the history of how death is handled and how it is in other cultures.

[@emilysusanvanvalkenberg5978]

heck yes i will watch this a second time! by far my favorite youtuber and your podcast has brought much needed smiles on some dark days. you really are amazing and totally genuine

[@lyssbliss6678]

Your into exactly the same things I'm into. I have hundreds of photos from the 1800s and 1900s. I have them all over my house. I love antiques and taxidermy. Please check out the old depression glass called uranium glass. I have over 200 pieces. They would look amazing in your loft. They also glow under UV light!!

[@kthearcher3357]

I don't think she needs a mutant ghost 👻 ;)

[@the_lily_rose]

I would LOVE to sit and look at those old photos! I've always loved old photos, even of people I don't know.

[@lanita_mcgray]

13:57 I know that feeling. I was told by both my father and nana that I was 25% Indigenous, but both DNA tests said that I was fully white. It's sort of created a sense of imposter syndrome between my father's side of the family and me. I love your Wednesday inspired loft. It would make my devout Christian mother kvetch.

[@lianacolquhoun2097]

Your home is honestly beautiful and you and Adam are blessed with your wee gorgeous pets and fantastic friends and family

[@Emerica.]

Damn! That high gloss is amazing! Love the contrast between the gloss and the flat finish on the walls.

[@CoeurD_Amaris22]

I absolutely love old photos. They always make me sad though, thinking about people's lives that are no longer and how quickly time goes by. I once found a large black and white photo in frame of a handsome, young soldier dated from the very early 1900s. I finally had to let him go bc I swear he started haunting me, which is why I'm commenting. I think some of your adopted ancestors could be behind your haunted candles. They probably like seeing the soft glow and flickering, idk. Love the loft btw 💓

[@stacystevens958]

This is amazinggg! I love Wednesday. You're the best, Celina! You bring so much light into my life, so tysm.

[@mariahlamb2983]

I also like to collect old photos of people long gone, I'd love to see a tour 🥲 It was so insane to hear you talk about your love for these pictures, it felt so familiar to how I feel about them.. I almost feel a sense of responsibility to at least keep them safe and to appreciate the moments captured, feeling a bit of a heavy heart that they didn't get to be appreciated by the family they were meant for. Always left wondering who they are or how I could possibly find their loved ones and return them to their rightful owners. But I'm glad I get to have em, too. There are a few that are my favorites and have always sparked something inexplicable in me. It's almost like I'm reminiscing on my own photographs.

[@emilywhitaker4906]

I also love collecting old photos. Any I see at antique malls I’ll grab and bring home with me. I’d love to see more of your collection!

[@lyndaennis8508]

Omg Celina I love old photos and get reading from them, then sit calmly and picture what their life was. Too be honest I thought I was the only one who does that, you are amazing young lady please tell Adam its ok and talk to you what he is feeling each day it will help and write his thoughts into a secret diary or draw then in that way he can show you if he want too. Adam and you we're together in the past its rare that you met again in the future you have your soul mate now that's true love.

[@Kkeplinger316]

I adore Celina. Her whole vibe is what I wish I was. I feel like we would be great friends.

[@tamarasmawidjaja6517]

when you said 'i have yet to find someone who will look at dead peoples pictures with me' i felt that so much, i feel like we would be good friends cause omg i have these weird hobbies and collections too and i absolutely love this room. this is my inspiration for my own home

[@skyrivera8065]

I love all of this!! My family has always been very spooky and into the metaphysical etc! My mom since I was a child has collected TONS of vintage and old yearbooks and photo albums from old families As well we always break them out and look at them to remember them✨ we also love collecting oddities too! You and my mom would be the absolute best of friends & so would we!! 🖤🤍

[@miz.dredful]

I love photo abums! New and old ones are both great love thinking about the memories and stories behind the pictures.

[@heathermacmillan962]

If I could, I'd LOVE to look through all your pictures and the stores of your adopted ancestors...it would be so awesome to think about their lives and what they might have experienced. Actually, your whole area looks like it would be so immersive and cool 😁♥️

[@jayceepolly4928]

Love how creative and amazing set ups especially for your crystals! the crystal balls in he candle holder is so smart!

Your space, while it is a lot, it doesn’t look like a lot. You really have a knack for interior design. I hope you love your new space :)

[@toughasamother4507]

I soo feel this vibe, love the loft and the collections and how much you love everything you have. ❤🧡🖤💜 I would absolutely love nothing more than to sit and look at your instant family with you.

[@carrieneal]

Love the old photos and keeping people's memories alive!

[@Jinxedyaa_]

It looks great! Also I loved your book hollow it kept me wanting more! I hope you continue to write more books!

[@mirandamayhew2844]

Omg I love old pics!! If I wasn't in the US and actually knew you..I'd sit and look at old photos with you!! Love the loft you did a awesome job...I love the glossy black!

[@kendiedwards3696]

I didn't think it was possible to love you more, but here we are!!! I have my "witchy" room and covet your loft! Someday I dream of living in your witchy village. Love, light and laughter to you, my friend.

[@trinanevvy6556]

i would love a tour of your favorite instant ancestors because i’ve always felt drawn to those types of things as well. :)) you’re so special Celina I love you dearly ❤

[@tabathaxavier6164]

I have always been drawn to old pictures too! I like to try and guess what kind of life they lived. I love your content and I am so ready to see what you have in store for us. You're amazing ❤ 💙 💜

[@kellie673]

Love your loft, your style and all your wonderfully intriguing trinkets around your loft. A lot of love and thought was put into your loft Celina. Can’t wait to see the rest of your home and your thoughts/designs 🖤👻

[@allichamberis1659]

I would LOVE to go through those pictures! My one favorite thing to do at my grandparents farm is sit and go through the 9 HUGE drawers of old pics of the family. My Papu is from Greece so some of the pics are super insane.

[@ZynaDUH]

I want a tour of all the photos you've collected.... Every time I'm in a place with history, I wanna experience all that there is to the best of my ability.. Last time I was at a party at an older gentleman's house, I just spent the whole party looking at all the stuff he had and listening to stories he was willing to share.

[@nat11709]

I would totally sit and look at all those pics! Love going thrifting and finding different pieces like you have. Loving the videos Celina!

[@jadedjhypsi]

The items to ground herbs and such are called a pedestal and mortar. Love your instant relatives, makes me feel good there are those who look after families' lost items cuz I have moved around and lost all of my items several times....

[@ashleighmacdougall9968]

Hey Celina, love the loft! Thank you for always being so inspiring. Hope all is well ❤️❤️

[@shychick84]

If I ever had the chance I would love to sit and go through your instant ancestor pictures with you. I very much enjoy going through photo albums wether I know them or not and wondering what their life was like at that particular time.

[@matthewserie4]

omg I love this so much. add in more plants and this is exactly the kind of vibe I want in my room lol also I would really love to see a video going through the pictures & albums and stuff you have cause I'm a medium and I only recently discovered it so I wanna see how far my abilities extend, one of the things I can do is I sometimes get images or clips in my mind of someone's life or memories and I would love to see if I can do anything like that with the people in your pictures or connect to them in some way

[@Bayloy]

You should totally put that see thru colored lament stuff on your sky light like Wednesdays dorm window. Awesome loft! Hi from Texas.

[@CDawson1985]

This room is fabulous Celina!!! It turned out SO amazingly! I feel like we need a video on the instant ancestors, I love that you do this!!!

[@TheLadyBrimstone]

I love you too! I love what you did w the loft and can't wait to see what you do w the rest of your house. I also collect old photos, I have 4 albums of just my ancestors on both sides that go back to the 1800's. Take care sweet girl!! 💜💜

[@ginamilligan9385]

I'd totally dig a few sessions where you show pics of your instant ancestors & tell us all of the stories you've built around their images. Or better o, you can do a live & we can all work together to come up with some wonderful back stories.

[@elizabeth7548]

Love the loft. I am drawn to old photos as well.

[@1986Baki]

I would love to come over and look at all your pictures! I LOVE old pictures and the stories behind them! ❤

[@andreamarie6501]

Every time I watch you I catch myself saying "same" multiple times throughout the video and I often wonder if our similarities come from being Pisces, maybe silly? Lol regardless I love, love, LOVE this space. Immaculate vibes ✨️ 💜🖤

[@badswede_68]

Love your energy... 😍 And your love for "forgotten" stuff, is really warm hearting.... Keep up, being you..... 🥰😇

[@GlitteryGhoul17]

Girl! Already finished Hollow and Its so good I need a sequel! Also I love you so much! Following you has been the best thing for me because I have always been the odd one out and now I 150% embrace my spooky self and I don’t know about anyone else but when I read Hollow, I always saw Mia as you… just saying. 👻👻🖤

[@katiekat1126]

You did so good! Definitely using this as inspo for my home now. The excitement I had when you mentioned Wicca, 😅 maybe if you feel comfortable in the future you could make a video on your path.

[@disneygal200016]

Love your room. I can see how it would inspire & yet add balance to your life. Your book sounds awesome! Hope it shows up on Audible. 😊

[@TheChildOfElmStreet]

I would LOVE to see a walk through of the Instant Ancestors! I would love to do that for people because I feel the same way! The thought of someone just being forgotten to time just crushes me for some reason.

[@leslieedwards6011]

You have such a beautiful soul. Your videos always make me smile even on hard days.
