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 😊

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.

[@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 🤣

[@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.

[@BellRumFreak]

And you know it's gonna happen too.

[@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.

[@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.

[@audrab27]

[@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.

[@neva5326]

I can just see her coming down the stairs of a huge three story 18th century house. Completely redone from her mind. Wearing a beautiful vintage gown, welcoming her guests to a weekend of horrors, er, of dinner...

[@joanieelsten2714]

[@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!

[@jessieyork4508]

I bought a house because of the tile on the kitchen floor.

[@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.

@@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..”

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.
