Absolutely stunning. Tge fabric choices are so luxurious as well.

Christine, this is beautiful, it was fortunate the measuring mistake was made because the corner pieces are amazing! - Alex and Tasha

I have a canopy on my bed but it is a basic one I did ages ago. This gives me ideas…….

Maria Gress

Lol, I can't un-know that that's a googly eye.

Teri Sutton

What are those nectarine colored jeans. I must find them!

Tammy R Dowden

HOO-LEEE Moly I didn't think you could make that bed any more incredible, and then you go and prove me wrong! I'd just lie there and stare at the canopy top all night, it is hypnotic. Beautiful job as always, ma'am.

I am a freelance interior/ accessory designer. My father owned a custom upholstery and manufacturing company. Whenever there is a mistake the solution must be beautiful and uniform. You do this so well my mouth falls open! You are a wonderful designer as well as an artisan. Skill without good design principles is so contrived looking. You are also not lazy! Very inspiring to say the least!!!

Hello! I think I had about 20 yards and I sewed the end and the beginning of that yardage together creating a large hoop :D

AliLou Creations

Hi , I’m confused, I’ve been sewing for years an years , but when you explain putting the sides together an sew , so then you have a massive circle , I just cannot see what you mean , it may be me mixing things up but I’ve tried to work it out and I can’t please help ,❤️

Thank you for asking. We have a sweet community.

Does anyone else find themselves searching for The Captive in the background of the exterior panning shots? Almost like a Michael Myers-esque "Where's Waldo"? I realize it's probably Grant doing the filming for the exteriors, but it's always a fun little Easter egg to spot him, lurking in the shadows...

Jess

No I almost died. But I'm finally seeing the up side I think.

Marti Kennedy

I call those challenging moments "design opportunities"! :) It looks absolutely fabulous, and guest room or no, I think I would take a nap there every day.

Shaylin Cecere

Loves this look so much! I would loveeeee a house tour update on things that have changed! Anything with the carriage house yet? Dying to see

Cee Fee

Icu!? Are you ok love x

Cee Fee

Just unbelievable ❤ a glorious feat! I so always wonder if poof ever snags the material he is languishing in 😅

Jess

OMG I just got to be able to watch! I learned so many things that would have made life some much easier for me in the past! As always bravo it is breath taking. I wish I was laying in it right now instead of an ICU bed!! You posted this is perfect timing for me to enjoy! I love u sweet lady! I can't wait to see what you do next!!!😍

Racheal Jones

Ooooo fancy! I love it.

Beth Hooper

This was incredible. Such detail and you went to such lengths to get it feeling very Rococo ❤️❤️

Mina Murray

I know you understand. I wish you could have met him too. You would have loved him, and he would have loved you. He was a great judge of character. Our current cats are lovely in their own way, but Albert was our best boy ever.

Jess

This is perfect timing for me to watch while I'm in the hospital! Hope I get to see it in the morning first thing! Christine you are my idol for sure! I would give anything to have a smidgen of your talent!

Ashley Randolph

Oooohhh lala! Glamorous

mathewcarson

Loved it!

tamviolet

Beautiful!

Mari

Here I was thinking you were going to stick a googly eye in the middle of the medallion so that when someone sleeps in the bed and they look up, they can feel like they're being watched hahaha! The whole bed looks absolutely amazing Christine, well done!

Mylie

This literally made my day, thank you!

Kiki Reef

OMG! That star in the middle of the canopy.... with the braided dome in the center....?! It looks SO cool!!!!

Tammi Harris-Crocheted Atrocities

I love seeing a different approach to the house in the intro!

Elisabeth

This is beautiful and the fact that there is a hidden googly eye in the center of the bed canopy watching over whoever is sleeping is the perfect gothic mansion icing on the cake.

Hongmin Jin

THIS IS FUCKING GORGEOUS OMG!!!!!!

Alycea

OMG. I am just loving(!) that you are cutting etc in your hallway. Inspiration. (Though there is that energy to hoick the board up and down those stairs. Kudos.) Truly, would only a woman work where it makes the most sense for her? :-D

Rosie

Sleeping in "a beautiful confectionery box"....so delectable!😊

Katie Milone

Haha well I’m totally patient for perfection. Although I may scratch just a pinky nail on the corner when I’m 85.

Christine McConnell

I'm so sorry Mina. I don't think you ever get over the loss of a truly special kitty. I wish I could have met him.

Christine McConnell

Haha! I think the trick to that is to use new silk and then wait 60-100 years ;)

Katie Milone

Can I make mine with old silk cloth that slowly drops tendrils of thread on my face while I sleep? 😊🥀

Karysa HorrorHoneysKitchen

Oooh I know what I’m gonna sneak and watch at work today. 🖤🖤 Can’t wait to see what you have in the works.

Mina Murray

This is a lovely treat for a melancholy day. 12 years ago today Albert A. Cat wandered into our life and changed it forever. This is the second year we have celebrated Albert Day without him. I miss him every single day, but most of all today.
