Chateau Christmas 2024 - Part 3 | Queen's Escape

I woke up the day after decorating the tree to find my hydrangeas wilted. I was very disappointed. They’re still soaking in a water bath and I’m really hoping they’ll recover. The florist is bringing me larger water vials… but I’m not very happy with him for giving me the ones that didn’t work. So it’s a problem to be solved. I finished the wreaths and cleaned up the dining room. It’s amazing how messy it gets just to decorate a few things. 😊
Floral Christmas is labor intensive, in terms of keeping all the flowers watered. I feel like I’m ’painting the roses red’ like in Alice in Wonderland. But I must say, I’m delighted to have roses and hydrangeas all around. ❤️ I troubleshoot wilting hydrangeas and finalize some decor for the rest of the chateau in this installation. Still more to do. 😊🎄🎅🏻

Queen's Escape was inspired by the 4 years the Belgian royal family stayed at Château de La Tuilerie during WWII. In particular, it is for the Queen. The king took shelter at a different location in France. We've named each of our guest rooms after great Queens of the past and present from around the world. Margrethe, Eleanor, Catherine, Himiko, Cleopatra, and soon our bridal suite will be ready in honor of Queen Elizabeth II.
With it's sprawling green meadows, 100-year-old trees, and historic location in the small medieval town of Gluges, the 200-year-old château is truly an escape. With 5 guest rooms to rent and a stunning Orangery, we look forward to welcoming you for a visit or to host your wedding or event.

In this video I extended our floral Christmas theme to the mantle. It went pretty well. 😊🌷🌲 I also received our Christmas tree and foraged for bendy branches to make our 2 wreath bases. It’s getting merrier! 🧑🏻‍🎄 I did the table runner, started the hydrangea tree and started the wreaths.

I've finalized the chateau holiday decoration planning. We may yet drop some things, but here is a presentation of reference images and my grandiose plans to do as much of it as possible. The things that need advance planning like flower delivery are the things that needed to get done this week. So we can say, tick, tick, tick, and the plan comes together. :)) I hope you like it as much as me. ...

This video is part II in creating the park pathways, that we have planned for the last 2 years. See how our neighbour and chateau owner Bertrand helps us, by utilising his 9 ton digger and a huge dumper we rented from a local enterprise, to distribute the 350 tons gravel we had delivered at our chateau. We also show you how the lining or weed fabric is put down before the gravel goes in the pat...

A gutter leak on our stairwell tower last year led us to very large task of repainting out tower stairwell. And when I say us, I mean professionals, because putting up scaffolding in a tower stairwell is not for the novice DIY enthusiast. We had the gutter changed that was causing the leak on the exterior and a team of painters complete the 2-week process of scraping, patching, priming, and rep...

What does it sound like to stay at Queen’s Escape? Well, the spring crickets and church bells sing at day’s end, signaling it’s time to slow down. Then as night falls and moonlight drapes the land, roosting birds, hooting owls and restless bats flap, call, and caw as lights and lids go down. Rain splashes hundred-year-old trees, weeded gardens, lush grass, terrace stones, and towering roof tile...

I did a quick little update to our Margrethe room just to differentiate it on the website from the Eleanor room, which is the same size, but rents much more often. The duvet cover change and 'mosquito netting' had a big impact, making Margrethe our #1 renting room.
