I absolutely love the mural on the left in your office with the rolling hills! I think it would really define the space instead of another wallpaper. The colours are stunning and the landscape is utterly gorgeous!
Your guests are in for such a treat! The chateau has never looked more beautiful. You have made every square inch so charming! Thank you…this tour was a pleasure! Good job, Bruce. The kitchen has come so far. It fits the rest of the place now…Gorgeous!
I have been subcribed and watching this transformation since day one. What a labor of love and beautiful outcome of The Chataeu!!!! So impressive. Congrats.
I really like the mural with the lovely hills and trees. Your chateau is gorgeous. Every room is perfect. I wish you a fabulous retreat and hope everything goes super well!!
Wow Abby you should be so proud on what you have accomplished is such a short period of time the gardens coming along nicely and all bedrooms and Kitchen Bruce adding his magic touches the dream team exciting your vision is now Come to light thank you for sharing your hard work !Everyone will have a most memorable time at the retreat with a wonderful host you got this girl ! 😀🌞
I really like the wallpaper on the left. With the hills. Because it has soft blues and greens I think it transitions from the living room well, and it’s a softer entry into the lighter kitchen. The blue wallpaper with blue painted walls it’s super dark for such a soft kitchen.
Abby, the chateau looks gorgeous! The guest rooms are charming (love the names) and the baths functional and pretty. The garden and fountain look lovely! Bruce is the champion of the kitchen. Hope this retreat is all you and your guests hoped for. ❤
Amazing! I think you have taken a weary, tired old place and made it Smile again! Everything looks so lovely. My favorite was the Jasmine bedroom. Well, well done! Superb!
Your chateau is beautiful,chic and elegant. What you will choose for wallpaper in your office will look perfect. My humble opinion would be to select the large printed wall paper with the landscape. You keep the blue theme but it will draw in and echo your lovely garden and harmonize with the outdoor sounds of your fountain and birdsong. After watching your grand tour you can see the same echo of outdoor color and garden light through the porthole windows. Maybe resale the blue sofa and put the teal sofa and chairs back in your office. Just my thoughts and most assuredly not personal criticism of your home. Well done Abby!
Amazing transformation of the chateau and grounds. You and your team have worked extremely hard to create a wonderful experience for everyone. Well done.
WOW, I can't believe the transformation in the short time you've owned the chateau. You've all worked so hard and everything looks amazing. You've been very blessed with Bruce and all the people who helped get you there. I can't wait to visit for one of your retreats!!
Thank you for taking us on a tour, I've been dying to see it all set up. It's absolutely beautiful. You should do a TH-cam tour once a year so we can see all the large and small changes you make. Your guests are going to love it.
The whole chateau looks fabulous. A little fancy but also light, airy and comfortable. For the office maybe the landscape wallpaper, then the fountain painting, TV on the mantel with couch toward it and a chair? Maybe 2 chairs for chatting looking out the window if there is room.
Merci pour le tour!! c'est magnifique !! j'adore les chambres, on a envie de dormir dans chacune d'elles !! ce chateau est lumineux, acceuillant, spacieux et tres bien renové !! Bravo !!! les salles de bains sont tres reussies ! tout est PARFAIT !!!
Bonjour Abby, I still like the one on the left for your Office. I agree the one on the right is lost at that size. The furniture in the Grand Room is absolutely perfect (smart move to get rid of the red furniture) and well balanced with the colors. As usual wonderful work Bruce. I hope your retreat is full of fun, laughter, and fond memories for all whom are there.
Bruce has done an amazing job with the title work! It really compliments the beauty of the repurposed wood around the air vent! ❤ the kitchen is absolutely beautiful!
Everything is really beautiful..straighten the lamp shades in dining room..and get candelabras for buffet..guest rooms are very pretty,and windows to die for,and love your room,the paint is perfect..a beautiful chateau you're bringing back to life! Pat yourself on the back for all you've accomplished,and your vision of what is to come! Your guest will be very pleased..how could they not be...
I like the new wallpaper for a different location. The large mural seems better and would make more of a statement. But i just heard you say the motif will be larger, so that should help.In the grand salon, I'd consider pulling the furniture a bit back more from the rug, especially the chairs and the green couch. It just seems claustrophobic snuggled in so tightly in such a grand space. 😊 I think Karen's painting would look good in the office. You passed by the sitting room area on the bedroom floor. What are you calling it? You've done a good job furnishing the bedrooms. And the garden looks wonderful. It's serene where one wants to take a deep breath, sigh, and just relax and listen to nature. What on Earth are you going to do to fill your time now that the renovations are almost done? 😂
The pretty purple plant is called Campanula. There are lots of different varieties but it especially loves to grow in walls and rockeries, and doesn’t cause damage. It will repeat flower in warmer weather ❤ The chateau looks stunning x
Hi Abby, I"ve been watching your videos weekly since the first one. The transformation of your chateau is amazing. I'm one of your many cheerleaders on your journey to get things done just the way you want them. I thoroughly enjoyed the grand tour and could feel the care and attention to detail in each room. The colors and textures and warmth is so inviting. A special mention... hats off to Tomas and Bruce for their hard work and dedication. Your accomplishments remind me of the saying, "She thought she could... and so she did."
It’s Truly more than Remarkable…all that you have accomplished. I’d say never under-estimate the power of greens just cut from your yard to add to vases also. God bless all your Ventures!! -SE TX❤
I remember watching a previous tour of the bedrooms & thinking that there weren’t enough places for guests to store their clothes and belongings, but you’ve addressed that need & everything looks great.
Given the relatively short time you've had to restore and decorate your chateau, out buildings and grounds you have achieved much. Just lovely. Happy for you and your guests.
Abby, I have been following you from the beginning of your Chateau purchase and adventure. You have done an amazing job on restoring the charm to the entire retreat/chateau. I just love it. Elegant for sure and your guests are going to love it. Wishing you a successful and fun filled retreat. I would like to make a quick suggestion as a small garden, landscaping business. @thepottedmum here in Guelph Ontario Canada, add some low maintenance greenery to your guest rooms. Pothos, is an easy low maintenance plant low watering required. But as you did the tour I spotted areas where some greenery would be beautiful and also add oxygen to the rooms. The rooms / bathrooms with windows at floor level and circular quaint windows would benefit from a smaller planter of pothos. I think it would also be great if your gardeners could actually edge out around your gardens so they are more defined. I love waiting for your weekly release. Enjoy the retreat. 👍🏻😎
So much done, and looking awesome. Maybe one day, when you're not busy (LOL) you could put use your painting skills to do a wee bit of a trompe l'oeil on the plaster fill-in part of that stone arch in the kitchen. The copper pots are just... (chef's kiss).
Abby Abby Abby!! What you have done ! It is Stunning!! Is there anything more romantic than a gorgeous chateau with the wind whistling in the background? The attendees will have a blast I’m sure . Oh I totally forgot to mentioned how awesome your Kitchen looks! You had a vison and it’s perfect. Thank you for the tour - you should be very proud at what you have done❤
Abby, your flowers look lovely, the room and bathrooms are clean, cozy and comfortable looking, and your entire Chateau is wonderful! Feel proud!! Well done!!! Enjoy your time with your guests!
Well done! All that hard work is paying off. Bruce is great. One thing I'd say is the scale of the carpets and art needs to be much bigger. Nonetheless it looks fabulous. I'd love to visit x
The chateau looks beautiful inside and out!! The kitchen looks gorgeous the tile work is amazing!! The bedrooms and bathrooms are so charming and well done!! I hope you enjoy a wonderful retreat next week! The flowers are such a lovely touch! The wallpaper will be stunning in the office! Have a wonderful week ahead Abby! The retreat will be worth all of your hard work these past few months! Au Revoir 💜
Everything is so fresh and delightful. What an amazing amount of work and what at transformation. I'm with others in voting for the mural on the left in the office. The colors are lovely and tie the rooms together and it has a both a charming simplicity and a grandeur that really works with a room that size.
Everything came together so beautifully. A joyful and serene place. Job well done to you, Thomas, Bruce, and all who gave their talents, time, and effort to creating this new chapter in your life and in the history of Chateau Borie.
It's just stunning Abby! I'm sure it is most spendid to view in person. It's only going to get better Abby. Sweet Chloe must be resting as she is a working a dog overseeing the restoration of a Chateau. ❤
It's amazing how much work you've done in the Chateau, all the bedrooms are lovely as are the bathrooms, I never realized how large the Chateau was. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
Everything looks so beautiful! Bruce has done so much. We have a lot of wind too. Looking forward to next week with the retreat. The flowers look awesome.
I bend my knees. I recognize that I caught up much later than I thought. So much unknown and never seen before. It is a fairy tale miracle, you did an incredible job. 😇
Everything is so pretty and inviting! 🥰 I can see all the hard work that has been done. When I remember what it was like when you first moved in. 😱 I absolutely love the kitchen. The chef will be very happy working in that space! I was hoping you would choose the other paper for your office. It would have been so pretty, but maybe I just can’t see it because the other sample didn’t show it off as well. I’m sure it will be beautiful just as everything else has been. I totally agree and am glad you got rid of the red furniture in the grande salon. It was just too harsh amongst the other suites of furniture. Good luck with your retreat. ❤️😊
First let me say how trim Bruce is looking - way to go, Bruce! And the kitchen is looking fabulous.The amount of work you've done everywhere is tremendous, and has definitely paid off. You have great taste in furnishings. The gardens are looking absolutely wonderful. Well, done Abby! I know it's not all finished, but now that the Chateau is quite livable, I hope you won't take it amiss if I make a suggestion. You might think about getting yourself either a good Feng Shui expert or an interior designer, or both, to help with furniture layout in most of the rooms. It would be well worth the cost. Sometimes, all that's needed is a bigger rug to suit the proportion of the room, and I realize that may not be in the cards financially right now. But often it's just that the room looks like it would feel awkward to walk through or be in. Maybe this is only how it appears on camera, but some of the spaces feel uncomfortable. At this stage of the game, though, despite my suggestion, you should give yourself a well deserved pat on the back for all the good work you've done! And thank you for showing it to us!
So beautiful…. Please include Francis and his wife in your retreat video! My stomach is growling thinking of them… Bruce! Great to see you and your handiwork! 🎉 Best wishes for a magical retreat!❤
Thank you! That was fun! You have transformed that place so beautifully, and surely all your guests will feel so welcomed and cared for! Hospitality is a gift, and it takes thought and a lot of consideration and effort on the part of the hostess, but the blessings do go both ways! I hope you have a lovely time with all who come! I have a little idea for the living room... if you moved the yellow pillows from the yellow couch, and put them over on the blue couch and chairs, and then put some light blue pillows on the yellow couch, it seems that would balance and nicely blend the room, rather than all blue on one side and all yellow on the other. Perhaps you've already tried that, but I'd love to see it! Maybe you wouldn't need the light blue pillows on the yellow side if you just move the yellow pillows to the blue half of the room! Any way, thanks for the lovely tour! Hi from WallaWalla!
I'm actually really a big fan of that polka dot wallpaper! But it is so beautiful! I keep blinking my eyes and wish I could transport myself to your doorstep for the retreat. Enjoy every moment. You deserve it!
What a milestone - built on so many moments of courage 🏆😎 looking beautiful ! That wind and the floorboards sure made her sound like a Gallion for a while - the Good Ship Borie 🤗
Well done 🎉❤you’ve come so far in the restoration of your beautiful Chateau. The birds tweeting, the wind blowing, and the sounds of the floor boards as you moved around the place was very atmospheric. Bruce is a great asset 😊 Have fun with your retreat.
Just stunning, Abby your hime is gorgeous, Bruce is a real hard worker helping get things done , glad he is there , hope you have a fabulous retreat , God Bless
Thank you for the tour. You have achieved so much. The rooms are charming and harmonious. I can’t believe you have done so much with bargain brocante finds. Wishing you a fab retreat.
OH. MY. GOSH. You have accomplished SO MUCH. It's looking gorgeous, charming, warm, and delightful inside and out! You must be so proud!
I absolutely love the mural on the left in your office with the rolling hills! I think it would really define the space instead of another wallpaper. The colours are stunning and the landscape is utterly gorgeous!
I totally agree with you. ❤
Me too!
Me too! It’s gorgeous!
At first I wasn't a fan of the mural but now woth the other option I'm re thinking
❤ The Mural

I really like the mural with the lovely hills and trees. Your chateau is gorgeous. Every room is perfect. I wish you a fabulous retreat and hope everything goes super well!!
Love the wallpaper with the hills! Neat mural look. The other matches too closely. Just an opinion!

Abby, the chateau looks gorgeous! The guest rooms are charming (love the names) and the baths functional and pretty. The garden and fountain look lovely! Bruce is the champion of the kitchen. Hope this retreat is all you and your guests hoped for. ❤
Amazing! I think you have taken a weary, tired old place and made it Smile again! Everything looks so lovely. My favorite was the Jasmine bedroom. Well, well done! Superb!
I love all the French curved foot board beds! Were you able to use queen size mattresses? Everything looks lovely!
Your chateau is beautiful,chic and elegant.
What you will choose for wallpaper in your office will look perfect.
My humble opinion would be to select the large printed wall paper with the landscape. You keep the blue theme but it will draw in and echo your lovely garden and harmonize with the outdoor sounds of your fountain and birdsong.

Congratulations on your achievement in bringing your chateau back to life.
Be still my heart! The château is looking so beautiful it makes me want to cry.
My prayer is that I get to come to a future retreat.
Can't believe how everything came together so beautifully done

Absolutely beautiful place, outside and in! I loved the wallpaper sample to the left as well! What lucky guests to be able to stay there!
Glad you enjoyed it. I am indeed blessed!
The teal furniture looks amazing in that room.
Your place looks so promising and stunning at the same time,. We can sense here how happy you are with your home. 🧡🧡
Yes, I'm super content here! 😊

Beautiful, so much work!!!!! You’ve accomplished a great deal! (I’d really like to see a larger rug in the grand salon!)
Love the color palate in the grand salon!
I love the 1st wallpaper sample on the left. It’s amazing all you’ve accomplished! Your bedrooms are all very charming and inviting. Good work!
I remember watching a previous tour of the bedrooms & thinking that there weren’t enough places for guests to store their clothes and belongings, but you’ve addressed that need & everything looks great.
There's still room for improvement on that front, but it's getting better for sure.
Given the relatively short time you've had to restore and decorate your chateau, out buildings and grounds you have achieved much. Just lovely. Happy for you and your guests.
Such a lovely calm chic feel to the Chateau now. A big change from the mix of colour before. Very good 👍
Looks fabulous! Hope to visit some day.

The Grand Salon is wonderful, much better then before and a great seating area for a collection of People before class, dinner etc. Well done..
Oh what a difference and how beautiful. So harmonious colours.
Love those creaky ole floors😁

Hi from WallaWalla!
What I wouldn’t do to come visit you and your home 😊 Absolutely beautiful, like a fairy tale.
I'm actually really a big fan of that polka dot wallpaper! But it is so beautiful! I keep blinking my eyes and wish I could transport myself to your doorstep for the retreat. Enjoy every moment. You deserve it!
Wow!! So incredible! LOOK at all the hard work that you put into making the Chateau de Borie BEAUTIFUL!! Congrats!!
Abby..what a transformation! The Chateau looks stunning..well done! ~ Michele
What a milestone - built on so many moments of courage 🏆😎 looking beautiful ! That wind and the floorboards sure made her sound like a Gallion for a while - the Good Ship Borie 🤗
Bruce is a master! All those cuts, the detail…excellent!
Everything looks warm and inviting ! Best wishes for a fun and rewarding workshop retreat….and bravo to Bruce. Lovely tile job.
You and everyone that's helped have done a great job. I've enjoyed watching your journey fixing it up.
Oh, WOW! You’ve been busy. Your chateau looks fabulous. The bathrooms are great. I hope the retreat goes well.🤗🇨🇦
I think the mural is outstanding for your new paper. I wish I had enough room to do one in my home.
It's so gorgeous. Love everything. The wallpaper, furniture, the pretty rugs OMG. The garden is looking so pretty too.
👋🏻🧑🦳😊💐 Omgosh, sooo lovely. I’m sure all the people coming to the retreat will have a lovely time.
Well done 🎉❤you’ve come so far in the restoration of your beautiful Chateau. The birds tweeting, the wind blowing, and the sounds of the floor boards as you moved around the place was very atmospheric. Bruce is a great asset 😊 Have fun with your retreat.
Just stunning, Abby your hime is gorgeous, Bruce is a real hard worker helping get things done , glad he is there , hope you have a fabulous retreat , God Bless
I need Bruce in my life! Everything looks great, especially the wallpaper with lemons. Love it. Have fun.
absolutely beautiful job!!! How inspiring. I watched you paint, scrub, worry, panic, overcome and now look, its amazing!!
I can't believe how much work you have done and how amazing it all looks. Well done you. Be very proud.
Everything looks just beautiful, Abby. Bravo, well done! Enjoy your retreat. ❤️❤️
It looks great! You have done a great job. Can not wait to see the wallpaper up as I think it will look a beautiful compliment to your paint.
Thank you for the tour. You have achieved so much. The rooms are charming and harmonious. I can’t believe you have done so much with bargain brocante finds. Wishing you a fab retreat.
