The Chateau is a real home again, now that the dog has a comfy spot on the couch in the warmth. So important for the long journey ahead to give yourselves this space and comfort.

Thank you for your message - we're thrilled with Mademoiselle Truffe's endorsement!
Talk about a retreat from the non-stop work going on in and around the entire chateau. You'd never know about the rest of it with it's grand everything by just looking at the cozy room itself. It's such an anomaly. And a beautiful, charming, cozy one at that.

Thanks for your message - yes, a very different type of project and result!
This segment reminds me of an old saying, “how do you eat an elephant?” “One bite at a time.” This is a lovely example of that. It’s like a house within a house. You all work so hard it’s nice to enjoy the small victories! I love the book cases, the colors and the coziness. Enjoy!
With such a huge project that they have taken on to them selves I wounder if feels more like death by a 1000 cuts ;-) Don't get me wrong I love what they are doing here. I did renovation work in and around Washington DC years ago. Nothing as interesting as this!!!

@@bren8309 yes, this word has a pejorative meaning in french nowadays. But I do not think it was the same meaning back then, nor in other countries ?
3 วันที่ผ่านมา +10
To be fair to @jennyeddison, the word 'lackey' was not hers but came from the designation of the room on the chateau plans. Its pejorative connotations (in both English and French) is something that has evolved since the 18th century, as @cynthiagauthier8897 correctly points out.
How wonderful! The best part of the video I just watched was seeing you and Tim sitting on the couch having a hug! We see you working so hard, and you've accomplished so much, seeing you both having a moment where you celebrate together is so special thank you for sharing that with us. I'm also really excited for you finally having a snug to retreat to!

First of all congratulations on the upcoming marriage in 2025! Your first cosy room ro relax and enjoy, all your hard work is coming to life in this room. Thanks for sharing again. So happy for you! Big congratulations!
Dear Felicity, dear Tim, I discovered your channel just about two weeks ago. Since then I watched all your videos and I must say I´m completely awed by both of you as a couple, your engagement, your patience and your skills and of course by the gorgeous chateau. Thank you so much for saving and restoring the wonderfully beautiful Chateau de Purnon and thank you so much for sharing this project with so many people. With the best wishes and regards from Germany Andreas

That was a great start to finish video. Loved how you pulled it all together. It is great that you have found partners/sponsors to help with pulling this tremendous project together. I think your "snug" will be Truff's favorite room.

A trick I learnt recently after drilling and plugging 'hard' walls to hang picture = drill a small hole then push in a bamboo toothpick it two depending, then use a normal picture nail. It's easier, less messy, no plugs and less damage. LOVELY room, I wouldn't leave it !
How great to have a cozy, arm, finished room to escape to! We did a lot of renovating when I was growing up, and my mother always tried to get one room done quickly as a haven from the rest of the confusion. It's so good that you now have yours!

Glad you two finally have a cozy space in the chateau to relax. It was a long time coming. I have heard Brits refer to small, loungy rooms in their houses as 'snugs'. Great name for it given its use.
I can't tell you both how very much I love watching your channel and following your journey to bring this beautiful place back to what it was and even better! I'm always so happy to see a new posting from you! Thanks for letting us come along and watch!

Thank you for your message Kathy. We're thrilled that you enjoyed our decorative choices.
I'm so excited to continue watching your journey of your life in the chateau. This felt like you are not only preserving an historical chateau but also an amazingly outrageously gorgeous home for yourselves. I'm now not so frustrating watching as I'm not really interested in watching a restoration of a museum or library for example. I am really interested in watching you two live there, enjoy there, making a life for yourselves there; like how would someone today live in a private huge chateau. I loved seeing you curl up as a family with your adorable doogie on the couch. It'd be fun to watch you making tea or coffee or cookies in your upcoming renovated beautiful historic kitchen with modern appliances and then watch the halls and stairs you walk through to get to this elegant snug place. I just paid for a Patreon account because now it's fun for me to watch. I've been waiting for this video for a loooong time. Thanks a bunch.

I know you’ve shown it before, but again I was surprised at how warmly those floor tiles glow when you finish them. Ha! Pretty soon you’ll need radios to find each other. Then again, it’ll be a while before you’re just lounging around, eh! So fun to watch.

What a beautiful winter snug. I can' imagine that the large rooms of a chateau become a little much to bear at times. The details of the design are gorgeous. Having a small, cozy space must be a delight. The simplicity of good company, or not, a dog beside you, a good book and just being warm must feel like a guilty pleasure after 5 years without. Congratulations!

The room looks so cozy and warm. I was not sure when you were painting it with such a dark colour. The wallpaper looks amazing. Cleaning the tonettes and sealing them, then adding the red rug gave the break in the dark colour to open up the room from the floor. It is lovely and Mademoiselle Truffe loves the room and looks very comfortable there on the couch. Ronnie in Saskatchewan

Interior Trim Carpenter here. You MUST glue your finish outs (When 2 pieces of base are connected together) and outside corners of your baseboards. Also, make sure to cut finish outs on a 22° angle. Just nailing is not adequate. Eventually, the seams and outside corners will be very obvious and will start to separate if not glued. I know your on a budget but it should be done properly for sure. Consult a professional prior to starting a project for tips, etc. I do love your videos!

Hi Deborah, thanks for your message and advice. We're thrilled you're following our journey. Please be assured the skirting boards were glued (both to the wall and the finish outs), we just didn't video that part of the process.

well done this is just what the Doctor ordered another old saying, I love the books and was longing to leaf through so many but much better to sit and read them lucky you ...because I`m a women I would love a large pretty bowl of peony flowers sitting with the piles of books on top of the case in front of the window ...the right shade of pink and white and burgundy in the arrangement would pop in the beautiful shades of blue around the room if you could get silk flowers made with a silk blend material that would be perfect....France has so many stunning things to enjoy ...just my thought please don`t worry if its not your taste after all this is your journey and true I talk to friends about the stunning results with the hard work keep it up and let the pace be your pleasure so we also enjoy the videos...lovely work.

Hi Deborah, thanks for your message and advice. We're thrilled you're following our journey. Please be assured the skirting boards were glued (both to the wall and the finish outs), we just didn't video that part of the process.
Awesome!!!
Unpacking your books after all this time. What a pleasure that surely was!
First thing I thought when I saw the tub. 😃
Love this room! Enjoy those books!
Thank you! Clearly a message from someone who knows the pleasure of having their books out of storage!
The snug looks beautiful and comfy. Love your technique for hanging pictures 😍😘
Thank you - we're thrilled you enjoyed seeing the room transformed.
What a lovely and warm little snug. I really like it. I love the colors with the brass. They go so good together. And the mix antiques and modern furniture gives the room charm and personality. So cozy ❤

Love this little blue room. So cozy!
That was our hope - thrilled you enjoyed it.
The TV would look beautiful on an easel! Great job transforming this one and so glad you have a warm place to retreat to!
Fabulous idea... thanks for your message.
It’s so nice that you finally get to express yourself totally without restrictions. So glad you get to have a special place for yourselves since you dedicated your lives to save the chateau for future but you deserve to enjoy the present
Thank you for your message - that's very kind of you to say so.
Love the snug. Very pleased that you have a safe warm lovely place to retreat to during the cold months.

So lovely to see mother room completed. I love your snug!
Thank you! We're thrilled you enjoyed the transformation.
Lovely to see how after all the battles you have finally some “normal” life-spaces! 👏🏻💪🏻
Thank you! Yes, little things that give us joy and comfort matter more than you'd think.
Your “snug” room is absolutely gorgeous! I love the dark blue paint and the wallpaper is perfect, so is the rug! Love the book shelf’s! A lovely welcoming winter retreat.
Thanks for your message. We're thrilled you enjoyed seeing the transformation.
Such a cozy room. I like the red rug best. Good choice.
Thanks for your message - we preferred it also.
I love how you’ve transformed those spaces - it looks so cozy and I see Madame Truffle very much approves too! 😉
Thanks for your message - she is, of course, the key critic...
Well done. A small dark room will never be anything but a small dark room so it was nice to see you use that to its best advantage. Extra points for painting the ceiling the same color - opened the room right up.
Thanks for your message - we're thrilled you enjoyed the transformation.
What a cozy room. And I love your sweet precious fur baby ❤
Thank you - she's wonderful!
Amazing project that not many would take on, one day you’ll enjoy the Château as a home, however, we all love our little snug 😊
Thank you - we're thrilled you're following our adventure.
The room transformation is amazing, love the shade of blue on toe walls and woodwork and the icing on the cake is that Purnon paper. Great job guys❤❤❤❤
Thanks for your message - we're thrilled you enjoyed seeing the Achard wallpaper!
Magnifique réalisation, voilà un petit salon de lecture très propice à la détente, au repos et la reconnection avec soi-même. Bravo !
Exactement! Merci pour votre message.
Je ne manque pas une vidéo !
Tout est tellement remarquable et inspirant. 👏
Merci! Nous sommes ravis que vous suiviez notre aventure.
What a cozy retreat!
Thank you!
Lovely to see you back with more content. The room turned out very nice and I bet it’s even better when you are relaxing. 😊😊
Thanks for your message. We can't wait to share further progress in 2025... we fear you may have missed last week's video: th-cam.com/video/Ozhj82gifCQ/w-d-xo.html
Lovely transformation. Beautiful colour story. The books, art work and rug add so much warmth. Would love to see more art above the sofa bed as well. Always enjoy your videos.
Thanks for your message and your perspective. We have a few ideas about what might hang there... we look forwarding to sharing further as the space evolves.
It is cosy for sure and relaxing.
That was our hope... thanks for your message.
well done this is just what the Doctor ordered another old saying, I love the books and was longing to leaf through so many but much better to sit and read them lucky you ...because I`m a women I would love a large pretty bowl of peony flowers sitting with the piles of books on top of the case in front of the window ...the right shade of pink and white and burgundy in the arrangement would pop in the beautiful shades of blue around the room if you could get silk flowers made with a silk blend material that would be perfect....France has so many stunning things to enjoy ...just my thought please don`t worry if its not your taste after all this is your journey and true I talk to friends about the stunning results with the hard work keep it up and let the pace be your pleasure so we also enjoy the videos...lovely work.
Thanks for your message and suggestions. We are always open to new ideas and different perspectives. We're thrilled you're following our journey and encouraging your friends!
C'est sublime. La couleur choisie va parfaitement avec les tomettes qui sont de toute beauté. Bravo. On sent la douceur et le bien être nous envahir juste en regardant la pièce 🙂

A cozy and intimate room. Perfect to read, watch a film or chat over cocktails. Good job, as it is charming.

A beautiful transformation of this space; respectful of it's heritage but comfortable and warm. Congratulations. The bedding is gorgeous. Just wouldn't want to be very tall 😆
Thanks for your message - we're thrilled you enjoyed it. Yes, the ceiling height in these 'entresols' is one thing we cannot change!
How good it must feel to unpack those books into the chateau! What a lovely room!
As we unpacked the books, we realised how little time we'd had for reading over the last few years! Thanks for your message.
You’ve made a series of excellent decisions on this lovely room. And your dog looks so happy! 😂❤
Thank you! Our next decision is to devise a strategy to get her off the sofa!
Such a charming space. I'm sure it will become a favorite, in any season. Congratulations on all you have accomplished and continued success

I LOVE the whole idea of these rooms... interesting that you chose such a dark color,our. The effect is "snug"; so lovely, warm and enveloping. I'd stay there 😉 Congratulations looks awesome after so much hard work to get it right. ❤ Oh and the etymology lesson, j'adore. 😊
Thanks for your message - yes, the dark colours make the room warm and cozy.
Oui, merci de le souligner dans votre commentaire. Je ne connaissais pas ce terme anglais de "snug" et j'ai été ravie de l'apprendre en regardant cette vidéo.
Avec plaisir!
