Every episode just gets more magical! This episode is breathtaking! I would love to learn more about all your faux finishes. I wish you could give in depth tutorials. Thanks for sharing your incredible talents.

[@YellowCase2024]

I agree. I am watching this video again. The attention to detail in your design is magical. And to hear you tell the story makes it better.

[@mariehannan-mandel6740]

I agree!! I’d pay for tutorials!!

[@shellohween924]

@@mariehannan-mandel6740 yes! Maybe she could do them on Patreon 💜💚🧡💛

[@caroltapia1343]

Incredible talents? Forgive me but Victoria is a genius!

[@sylviaandrulonis8229]

victoria---i have such immense respect for you----you are a genuine treasure----thank you for sharing you!!!!!

[@jeanettekasper7467]

I just love this tour of your home, you are truly a magical and unique designer. Definately not a cookie cutter designer! Such one of a kind ideas, this home is so fun, relaxing, whimsical and just darn cute. I love listening to your voice and how creative you are with all these projects. Thank you for sharing and I Love it all!!!!

[@janicekenny250]

What I loved on the house tour was the beaded valance on the windows, & the tin ceiling, How is that installed to stay is it glued, stapled nailed, ? how is done? I also love the garden the lake, the Balcony, looking on to the lake, Victoria you are such a breath of fresh air, I love the fact that your brain never stops inventing design. I love that, I am the same way I never stop thinking of doing different things, I sometimes become annoyed when people come to my home & tell me it looks like a museum. Well I say to them my home is my artist palette, this is how I express myself in my design & I am proud of it. I do not want to be dull or unexpressive, each to their own. I was a decorator in New York, but when moving to Florida not many here are into design. & creativity. but that does not stop me from inside to outside, I have created, an artist palette of design & never stop creating,. well, Victoria, your tour was impressive, as always, God Bless you & never stop being you.

[@jennip8585]

That's a really weird reason to get annoyed... it sounds more like a compliment🤷🏽‍♀️

[@cindydhecker]

Hello dear Mackenzie, you are so very gifted!!! Thank you for blessing me with your videos!!!

[@kathryninouye9599]

Creativity flows from you and Richard. Flows through all you create. Thanks again for sharing. Shalom from all friends.

[@skeeterbits1473]

I love these visits to the past!! So many ideas...so much history! So much beauty!

[@lizsanabria5541]

God Bless you Victoria you are so talented and gifted thank you for sharing 💕

[@coffeewithfrosty5826]

LOL! You left us hanging! So fun! I adore that beautiful cupboard bed. Simply magical!

[@elaineteut9579]

The intensive work and thought that you put into your home is beautiful.

I am happy to go along with you. But really sad it was taken away. Hugs Joyce

Thanks for the tour of this lovely old house. I appreciate you so very much Victoria. Blessings to you and yours🐧🌾💐🌲🐛🐞🐑

[@billierenshaw3302]

So very charming and unique….just like you Victoria ❤️🥰

[@susanmonagle6441]

Marble!?! I've been a collector since since 1983 and I never knew that courtly checks are painted to represent marble! Brilliant!

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

I don’t think the new establishment ever knew. They saw $ signs and that was all they felt they needed to know. They have missed the boat in that way. But there’s always another voyage if we miss the boat, right?

[@craf-Tpeep]

So so cozy and can’t wait to see the hidden room. So much of your heart is in each detail of every room!

[@sharonwatson3320]

As usual, another fun episode! Thank you!

[@beckymccormic]

I hope one days I will get to meet you, your inspiration is so wonderful.

[@YellowCase2024]

I also hope to meet you. Maybe when the weather is warmer, here, on the East Coast? I imagine you, Victoria, standing on the deck of the Yankee talking to all of us about you and your life. We are all quiet and wide eyed in awe.

[@christinahall2587]

Oh, Victoria, my heart could beak for you and Richard, because you don’t live here anymore, but I know you have no time for regrets. The house is the external display of all that you both are internally oozing with ! I’m so glad that the house has been preserved…. and I believe that is not an accident ! I was talking with someone, recently, about you and they were shocked to learn that MacKenzie-Childs is not just a fabulous made up name to attract attention !… and your name is no accident, either 🌟🙏🏽❤️

[@carlottawinters6124]

LOL, oh you're wrong for that, leaving us in suspense! Just kidding. I anxiously wait for the video showing us the sweet surprise in that closet hideaway! Listening to your stories and touring with you brings me such joy, and calmness. I love your spirit. Big hugs to you and Richard!

[@alicejump2290]

Heart home! Blessed and safe days!

[@MrCorvettegirl2]

Hi Victoria Awesome video , so lovely indeed 🤗 Thanks so much Brenda

[@donnamclaughlin9215]

I am confused. You don’t live here but is it a museum now. It is an inspiration to creativity. Something we need to encourage in our schools. I am all for the arts which is our humanity. I love the recycling aspect to your project. You are so gracious and we won’t talk about the past. Just be gracious and grateful. How is dear Richard? 💚❤️🙏🎂🎄🙏

[@shellohween924]

Miss Victoria,thank you for sharing so much wonder with us! It makes my day to see a new video of yours has uploaded. I was in an antique shop this weekend and picked up a piece of yours. Sitting amongst all the more recent MC pieces the seller had (it was a courtly check explosion in there haha) was your beautiful MacLachlan lidded box with the thistle on top and I purchased it so that I would have a little authentic piece of you in my home. My husband is also of Scottish descent and we collect thistles too so it was perfect to find. I hope an all new generation of young creatives, artists and crafters find you and your channel because you are truly one of a kind. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lizsanabria5541]

Your home is so happy and inviting ❤️

[@kristenganshaw497]

I love your kitchen and all the details

[@lindajjohnson1532]

You are taking me back to my time in Germany. I am loving how you tell the story of this company. The history is amazing and I am so glad I found it. Thank you for sharing.ljj

[@vickifrederick2934]

Everything is so beautiful

[@janmoore6340]

Have played with crackled textures....one of my favs for decades...still Fringe on the walls!! Gorgeous!! Always wanted an enclosed cupboard bed....too cozy!! Detail painted all around it. The topper was the weathered floor just beaming with memory!! Love love love❤

[@carolanndarling3726]

This series has truly been a delight! What a treasure you and Richard created those years ago and what a blessing it is that you are able to enjoy it still. A special thank you to Chet and Ann for welcoming you home again and for allowing us all a chance to appreciate more fully your beautiful designs. I am inspired each and every time!! :) Cheers!

[@lynnvolgel6648]

Again I feel like I am in the most glorious life size doll house🏠 You being the wealth of knowledge and creativity, to share your minds eye with us feels so very special and exceptionally private Thank you for being so generous 🎀

[@DD-hy1nl]

Oh Victoria you have me in suspense now! 😯Who knew you were on your way to show us a secret place in that old closet, I would have never guessed! This old house gets better and better with each room you show us. That tin and copper ceiling is amazing, I just love it....💗I so much love the stories too.💓 Now my anticipation for that closet will have to wait until your next video!

[@beckyschrage668]

What an adventure , I feel like Alice in Wonderland. The further you take us, the more magical it becomes!!!!

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Ahoy, Becky! Thank you ever so much. You are just the answer for me today. It seems not enough folks are finding their way, even to begin their own adventure, but here you are! I hope you can share the channel far and wide. We want all the world to come aboard for the ride. I think, together we can Make, (not only)America Great Again, but as we have until of late, also bless all mankind. Thanks for commenting. You have no idea how much it inspires us to keep going!🤗

[@vickiesdouns6093]

An absolute stunning home.

[@mariap-yx8yy]

Beautiful! ♥️

[@juliahelland6488]

I absolutely love the cupboard bed and have dreamed of creating something unique for my grandchildren to dream in.😴❣I better get started! Also ❤ the 🦋 wallpaper! There's so much to ❤ about this home. Thanks for sharing ❣

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

I will tell you a funny little thing about cupboard beds, we had two wire haired Dachshunds for many many years, and at night we tucked them in to a drawer in a chest next to our bed. And in the day, it just closed up and took up no room! Like a kind of Murphy bed, eh?

[@JaeRae2024]

What a creative and cozy home. Thank you for the tour and all of your personal details about this unique home.

[@sherryspotts8335]

Loved this ❤ So much love and care and Great creativity went in to this hom❣❣I LUV LUV LUV your shoes 💖💖I Need to be on the lookout for a pair ❤ 💙

[@LilyGazou]

I’m still working on my video of the ferry/home in Tacoma that we talked about. It is nothing compared to your visual creations - but it had a life of taking people on memorable journeys over the decades.

[@dianecaruthers966]

The amount of reclaimed pieces being put to use is fascinating. It also shows me not to strive for perfection in projects, but appreciate the imperfections and the happy accidents.

[@kristindriskell4027]

Your use of everything like your stickers on the door post amazing Nothing went to waste..I love the colors from the ceiling to the walls...the fringe with the upholstery tact's that is fabulous I'm use that in my guest room..I have fringe just waiting.. Victoria your zeal is priceless and I enjoy your explanation of your work you and Richard did..

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

My dear Channel Mammals! I am so deeply grateful for your comments. One person asked if I still answer comments snd the ANSWER is YESSSS! It’s just that of late I i have been ever so busy with urgent matters for yankee, Up State, and the wondrous days of Christmas Tide. But Guess what! I have read snd been encouraged by every single one! I have giggled, run to share sweet stories with Richard, and wept with you over the sad things I have long overcome, but feel so tender for your concerns, as I had too once been. However, God is grace, God I’d Live, and best of all, God is All!! So nothing can touch us when we life fearlessly, hsnd in hand with our Father Mother. I always remind myself that when we were leading MacKenzie-Childs, we were necessarily cloistered away. Never would I have been free, as now, to know and look up to each one of you as if following your every thoughts. I feel honored. I am laboring with love on some gift for the Patreon Patrons, which I never thought could take so long, even for the crafting of it, but also for the difficulty which seems so demanding, of other things constantly slipping my days away, stealthily in the early morn and then catching me up in the night. But soon it shall be sent off to those precious Patreon Patrons. I try to answer some every time I can. But until each one is responded to, I shall not feel fulfilled with my yearning to be with you in heart and soul. So I hope you don’t go away thinking I will not be here to answer, please. Ever fondly, Ahoy! Victoria MacKenzie-Childs (including Richard … he is such a sweet support. It isn’t easy at the moment but he is stalwart in his upward way)

[@tamielynne7374]

You are a wonderful person😊 I love everything you do. And all of your work/projects are just so beautiful! I wish I was just as creative and that I had an imagination like yours. I think I over think things, and it ruins my creativity. I enjoy beautiful unique things, I love your videos and I'm a huge fan :) thank you for sharing your life and art with us :)

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Tamie, you can get over that over thinking. It’s not that one should not always be listening to Wisdom, but not at the risk of the first voice within, the “still, small voice”. And it will lead you to the childlike humility, which liberates the talents. Car all have them, and they reinforce us all back and forth. They are not the same. But mortals label only certain ways creative. That’s hogwash. We are all the perfect INDIVIDUAL reflection of our Father Mother God’s infinite creativity. So claim your own special confidences, and your needs will be meant, as they meet the needs of others, and give it all up to God in gratitude. Have a very happy day with that!

[@angiejones7401]

Please show how you did the tortoise shell paint technique.

[@tuanyiji]

I love that you used ceramic decals, I used to work in a factory that produces such things, no wonder they stay for decades. My favorite part is the cabinet bed, imagine being a child, that would be a wonderful hiding place. This video gives me so many inspirations for my own renovation. I'm thinking about decorating my house in a Alice in Wonderland fashion, and that's why I found you in the first place.

[@grat2010]

I could listen to you talk about your work and your methods everyday for hours. It's so inspiring. Thank you!

[@wholeinthesky1758]

So talented u have lived many lives in one

[@BeatrixBetwixt]

All the details are so much fun! The cupboard bed looks like such a cozy nook. I think you captured each rooms personality in such a way that I’m sure the house smiles from it.♥️

[@robertduffy350]

Victoria- Is it a happy accident, or by scrupulous design that the juxtaposition of the simple and austere and the festive and ornate highlight each other's beauty? The rail and wallpaper complement by means of being opposite. So much like several couples I know. Just today's observation. Best- your upstate uncle Robert

[@nancykemp6347]

Victoria, the bathroom ceiling is so Beautiful. The house is like a doll house. I've gotten so INSPIRED watching your videos. Here is a picture of my kitchen. I've brightened it up and it feels Happy in here now. Thank you

It’s a good dream.

[@WinnieFinesse]

Sooooo much fun in this house! And I can't wait to see what's in that secret door! Also I thought that with patreon and you not being able to view comments or messages so well, have you tried on your phone setting the browser to 'desktop view' instead of mobile, it should be in settings on any webpage at the top, that should make it work like a desktop then! :)

[@angelakilroe3271]

What can I say other than, how wonderful that two artistic talents joined together can make such beautiful, beautiful things. Your videos are a joy and so inspiring. I’m now going to try to collage the door frame of my bedroom. Watch this space.

[@whimsicallywhimsywhimsical363]

I absolutely love my story time with you Victoria. You are an amazing lady and I’m proud to call you my friend. I can’t wait for the next one. Thank you 💐

[@LilyGazou]

I finally posted the video of the ferry home for sale. Imagine what artists like yourselves could do with it.

When they pass, their house will be worth lots and lots. Hope the corporation that stole their company won’t try to claim it too.

[@mingzhuyan7029]

Wow! You are a real fair in this world! Could you please tell me which kind of paint you use for the wall decorations? I like all the flowers and landscapes that you painted on the wall, which inspired me a lot!

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Hi Mingzhu! Wow, that’s a big question, you got there! Some of our work was such a strange combination that it would take more than a KZbin moment to answer, more like an MKC-MFA to cover it. But, to give one quick answer, the walls in the living room, which my mother painted started with a traditional gesso layer, and then artist oils, many many tubes of artist oils. It was a long process, & slow drying. Sorry not to be able to go into everything . I guess I can just sum up that one type of painter (scenes on furniture and on walls). It was all done in Artist Oils. So very nice of you to comment, my new friend, and I hope you keep watching. I loved hearing from you. Have a right glorious day!

[@mingzhuyan7029]

@@victoriamackenzie-childs7215 Thank you so much for your response with so many details and the history behind your wall arts! I love them and the fairy style you live, moreover, I’m so grateful to know an artist with such a gentle heart and beautiful soul just like you: ) 💐

[@gailsprangers9388]

I know you are so positive and imaginative and forward thinking, but do you become slightly melancholy or have a slight longing for this old home you put so much love and creativity into? I don't mean to bring any sadness to this beautiful video, but I personally feel a connection to my home and gardens and I just know it would pull at my heart to leave it and then go back and look at it no longer living here.

[@LilyGazou]

It lives forever

[@gailsprangers9388]

Lily, I agree. I meant it would pull at my heartstrings if I no longer lived there. I'm terrible at saying things🤪

[@LilyGazou]

@@gailsprangers9388 I have had to say goodbye to beloved places. I wish I was a painter or poet to preserve them in some way.

Did the homestead come before the farmhouse?

[@victoriamackenzie-childs7215]

Wait, Lana! Is this one of those “which came first, the chicken or the egg riddles”? Umm, I’m not quite sure how to answer it. If it isn’t a funny wink and you really have a wonder, want to rephrase? I’ll take it seriously. Meanwhile, I’m enjoying thinking on it, and love hearing from you, my friend.
