I honestly never thought I'd see Philip pouring a glass of cardboardeaux... it just seems so wrong lol. Then again, I never thought I'd see him chucking a sandal at a peacock, either 🤣😂
I love Phillip’s attention to detail. His explanation of the changes that he’d like made to restore the rooms to the way they were originally was excellent. I also think that the best approach is to replace the old beams with metal beams, so that the structural changes shouldn’t be required again in the distant future. Everything is going to be a mess for quite some time, so might as well do the best work possible. Also, if Amaury thinks that the metal beams & the more expensive work is the best solution, I’d go with that. We all know what a perfectionist he is and how excellent his work is. The chateau will be strong & even more beautiful once the work is complete.
A white peacock, how exciting! The gardens are looking very green and lush, so much for the predicted drought. The skirting boards just finish off the bathroom perfectly. Good decision on the grand salon, do it right the first time and gain two ensuite bedrooms in the process. Thanks Stephanie and Philip.❤️🙏
Philip did a great job explaining the plan. I do think it would of been nice to have seen Amaury. It has been so long since we have seen him doing any work. Is he gone now?
@@crae3422 And when it's hot, he takes his shirt off....Now that he and Natti are living together away from Lalande, even though they both work there, they probably go home after work to relax and have dinner, especially on weekdays, whereas before, they were pretty much pulled into the vlogs if they were in the kitchen at night. I imagine that on the weekends, it may be more likely for them to be asked to join the weekend guest dinners?
The plans for the Grand Salon sound perfect and I can see what the delays have been. Great to be able to do it all properly. It’s all going to be exquisite
✨You live in a heaven on earth!✨🤍✨And I’m thrilled to learn about the traveling bracelet, as I have a much more dainty version, that I inherited from my Great Aunt, who probably inherited it as well! I never knew exactly what kind of bracelet it was, and now I know!! Thank you all🌸😊🌸🤍I Look for to watching a White peacock grow up too there!!🤍
Chateau Diaries is going to give all the garden videos a run for their money pretty soon! What progress since Kirstie and Pavlina have become your gardeners!
Phillip's excitement is contagious! It's so fun to watch him sharing about the plans! And I LOVE that you paint in a pretty dress like that! What a way to continue the joy of loved clothing for chores!
My goodness Amoury has got a marathon job to do, but he will have no problem sorting it all out plus Phillip is just as passionate about doing things properly as Amoury is. The baby peacocks are so beautiful, I can't wait to see the white one as it grows. 💕🇦🇺
Stephanie, every time I see the courtyard I am struck by its complete transformation. It is truly stunning. I love Vivianne’s art. It, too is stunning. What a sweetheart she is. I love the new proposed changes to the Grand Salon and the upstairs bedroom and bathrooms. Still watching from PA, USA.
Such beautiful things in Vivienne's shop!! I immediately went to her shop and ordered an antique etching art print! Amoury (and everyone there) is so amazingly skilled at what he does. You are blessed to have him there and as your cousin. Stephanie, you have created an amazing channel (s). I am so happy to watch as you all work at doing such a wonderful job in your beautiful Chateau de Lalande! My love to everyone!!!
Dan is doing the steel beams in his chateau shell which will no doubt save the remainder of the structure, so I fully understand that you need to do this in the Grand Salon to make it more grand and obviously very safe. Good for you Phillip and Amaury. Hang in there Steph...I'm sure it will be gorgeous!
Vivienne's gifts were so nice. The fact that she designed and pieced the images together in Stephanie's gift is extra special. Phillip's gift was so.....Phillip. Just perfect.
The house in the UK had a famous green writing shed. I think she was speaking of that shed. It was on a round platform so that you can move it around, so there was sun in the window at all times. See Shaw's Corner.
I am so glad you went with the pink background versus the white background wall paper in Bon Maman Bath!!! A big hello from South Lousiana, USA where we love our French Heritage. My family hails from Paris and the Bordeaux Region / Basque Region. I am also an Architect, and your ideas for the steel beams is the best idea!!! Adding the new plaster ceiling will allow proper sound attenuation at the bath rooms and guest rooms. I think this is a great idea and it will accentuate the 18th century paneling! I can't wait to come visit your home one day. My dream is to say a rosary in the chapel! Your chapel is the most beautiful chapel I have ever seen. Every other Chateau I see on You Tube has chapels that are in no way as superb as yours.......
I could not stop chuckling at dear Philip’s pale blue shorts 😂🤣 Adore him & his passion for restoration, porcelain and all things Stephanie…… but, THOSE SHORTS!!! 😂
He lived and died in Hertfordshire UK. His famous house and green writing shed are there. The green writing shed was built on a round platform so it could be turned after lunch. This was so the sun was always shining through the window. I think the paint description was of this house and green shed.❤
I think the confusion started because his famous house and geen writing shed is in Hertfordshire UK. The green shed is on a round platform so you could move it after lunch so the sun was in the window. I think the description of the paint was about that house/ shed, not GBS personally.
So proud to see Philip wearing the coat of arms from my region AND my city on his wrist😄 Jokes aside, Vivienne's gifts are amazing (and I am truly happy to see a bit of my region in the vlog)
I really enjoyed the vlog where she and Simon went all out to entertain Steph and Phillip and laid out a gorgeous spread of food set up especially for them out in the garden, in the shade, near the roses and fountain and pool. And took them to wonder shops and introduced them to that sweet, talented old man who painted and sculpted beautiful art.
oooh I white Peacock! I hope it's a male! So Excited for you! I am glad the Grand Salon will return and I love that Phillip is so involved in the plans. You are lucky to have him Stephanie, he reminds me of my young man (I am 60 and he is 40, we met when he was 27 and I 47.. and it has just gotten better and better)
Wow, that is awesome! My last boyfriend was 18 years younger than me, but it didn't last. I had a boyfriend 10 years younger before that, we almost got married, but, his culture and religion made things hard to harmonize. My ex husband (before the boyfriends) was 8 years younger. I am divorced and at age 69, feel ready for a second husband/final mate. I see some success stories of people finding the love of their lives in their 70's!
Love seeing Vivian there. So glad she was able to spend a week with you. Her gifts were stunning. Paint choices for the bathroom are perfect. So are the plans for the grand salon and the rooms above. Absolutely adore the walled garden, all the gardens and woods, and then there are the peachicks. One of them being a white peacock somehow strikes me as very Lalande. Love it. Best to all. :)
Shaw always considered himself Irish. Apparently, so did the British. "I have lived for twenty years in Ireland and for seventy-two in England; but the twenty came first and in Britain I am still a foreigner and shall die one. - George Bernard Shaw"
His famous house and green writing shed is in Hertfordshire UK. The green shed is on a round platform, so you can move the shed around after lunch, so the sun is in the window. I think the paint description was for the house and shed.❤
Love this vlog! Marie was so shocked that the Peacock was coming after her. She thought she has her chick! But all was just fine and the little ones were brought back to mom. Glad they found their destination! The Salon is beautiful. Leave it to Vivian to be the most gracious and wonderful guest, and certainly a friend! So, giving and loving to everyone. Loved the gifts she gave both of you!!!! Can be cherished forever! We in the U.S. do not get out grapes to come out until early Fall, End of August perhaps. It takes more time. Love them!
@@lindascott2008 This is how it works for ours. We are in the Northeast. We have grapevines on our fence. Have for many years. They're all Concord, grapes. We just must be patient here I guess?
White peacocks bring amazing luck to your home, I can attest as I have had 2 in my long lifetime and consider myself to be extremely lucky congratulations. Wonderful vlog, we need more vids of that garden, a long time coming to fruition beautiful.
Yes, please keep showing us the garden, flowers, fruits, veggies, herbs, chickens, pea chicks, Pavlina & Kirstie in the garden, Marie's flower arrangements for the guests' rooms would be nice to see, as well as more of what we have enjoyed on the guest dinner table and kitchen.
I painted a white peacock and just sold it. I thought of Lalande the entire time I was painting. And now to see you have a white peachick!! How exciting!
So nice to see Vivian visiting for a few days. Truly love the gifts she so kindly gave. Her 'historical' print creations are so unique and inspired. But as a History / Evolution of Design prof with a School of Fashion college just outside of Toronto, I regularly focus on the influential 'Grand Tour' as one of the key inspirational bases of the Neo Classical period... and fell in love (actually obsessed) with the bracelet Vivian gave Philip. I've attempted to access Vivian's listed site to see if I can hopefully purchase one of the 'others' she mentioned would be available, but not seeing the site. Is It up and open yet. Loving all of your work! UPDATE... Found Vivian's Site in a roundabout method. Many Thanks!
Vivienne is so very talented! The prints were splendid and Philip is just the man to be sporting that exquisite bracelet! The garden looks so lovely this year…just wait a few years and everyone in the chateau will be practically living under the pergola not wanting to leave! It is so nice to have baby chicks and the pea chicks in there too! Now Philip just needs a puppy! 😊
Preferably one who doesn't bark all the time, like neighbors' dogs in my past. They would bark every time I went out on the patio or to work in the garden.
Good afternoon from the SF Bay Area. What a treasure trove your garden has become, and all the animals. Stephanie, I did want to comment on the piano in the Grand Salon which is against the wall. If it can be avoided a piano should stand free or at least never touch an outside wall or a kitchen wall. The varying temperatures play havoc with the tuning. Have a wonderful evening! Love to all the lovely Lalanders. 🥰
Thank goodness you found this beautiful panelling to have this project, it has made way for the long time needed repairs. Best of luck Stephanie, I’m enjoying your vlogs as I recover from knee replacement surgery ❤️
I really like the new plan for the grand salon. It will look so much better and the plans for the bedrooms upstairs will be fantastic! Pea chicks so cute! We need a nice lunch no look at all the garden.
I can not wait to see all the renovation changes. It has already been over six months we have been waiting for the project to even start. It will be wonderful when done I am sure.
I love to see you use those paint brushes! You may not be painting masterpieces like he did but you’re painting and using those brushes furthers connects to him and all the pieces he too used those brushes on. But I’m a sap like that. Love the history and legacy!
Oh, that bracelet! ❤ "They're full of the things we love: royal symbols, fleur-de-lis, lions..." Yes, exactly the things I love. Loved Philip's slipper technique with the peacock.😄 Nice that you will have one white one. I grew up with many peacocks. We had two white ones. They are beautiful. The garden is looking heavenly. The fruit tarts looked beautiful. I bet they were good.
I am so excited about all the plans that will raise the ceiling of the grand salon and change the layout of the bedrooms above. If you do a plaster ceiling with a center design, that would be great. 😂❤
Fantastic strategy for the Grand salon, the two bedrooms & two on suite bathrooms. The damaged beam is turning out to be a God send towards renovating creative floor plan… BRAVO 🍾!
Congrats on your new peacock chicks! The babies are so sweet. I truly didn’t expect them to be all different colors! Congrats and fingers crossed that no predators are able to get into the walled garden!
Oh! the Peacock Adventure has been absolutely exciting. It reminds me of the days I spent on a Dairy Farm. Of course that was a long time ago. Thank you for all the fun!
Bonne Maman was beautiful before but now it is just spectacular. Love the colors. And their names as well. Wonderful job Stephanie. And using your father’s brushes seems as if he’s contributing as well. I’m sure he’s smiling watching you paint.
I love the prints from Vivienne and the silver frames that she put them in! I love everything in her shop! Can't wait to do some shopping! Exciting to have a white peacock around! enjoyed the whole vlog! Thanks for sharing!
The lavender in the courtyard is glorious 💜 well done 🥰 Thank you for your painting tip. Never thought of using an artist’s bush to cut in like that ✍️ You may have turned my life around 😂 I love how you support each other 🥰
Everything is so beautiful at La Lande and those peachick how cute are they and a white one wow ,All the fruit look delicious yummy take care everyone see you all soon 💕🌼🤗
I love those lamps, I think they go well with the theme of the bathroom and it would be a pity to replace them 😊 and indeed with purple leaves they would seem as if they were made for this room🤩
I agree with you a hundred percent, exactly what I was going to say, a bluish/purple painted on the flower petals. And keeping the leaves the way they are or a different shade of green if something works better with the shades of green paint down below.
You guys have ferrets running wild? I guess I just never thought about where ferrets come from. I guess I thought they were kind of like dogs where people bred them. 52 years old and still learning, I love it!
The gardens are beautiful--- amazingly luxuriant and sure to produce a bumper crop. As for Toadrick, I imagine he’ll be meeting up with Freddie the Frog sometime soon to compare notes on life at Lalande.
Absolutely a delight to see Vivienne again. She lights up a room with her smile and bubbly personality. Her creativity is incredible and I wish her all the best with her shop. The pea chicks are so cute. Look forward to the reveal of the grand salon one day.❤
Those peachicks are just adorable! I can’t wait for the white peacock, they are beautiful. I just love the bathroom you were painting in Stephanie, that wallpaper is just beautiful! I loved todays video! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This is surreal. I'm sitting in the bed in Bonne Maman at LaLande watching a Chateau Diaries showing Bonne Maman.
That’s super cool 🤩
❤
Lucky you! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Enjoy all the magic of La Lande 🌻
How wonderful! Soak up all the goodness, that is La Lande! Wish I could have got there, maybe next year!🥳🙌✨🧚🐝🐝🌼🌻☀️
Good for you!!!!!❤
I honestly never thought I'd see Philip pouring a glass of cardboardeaux... it just seems so wrong lol. Then again, I never thought I'd see him chucking a sandal at a peacock, either 🤣😂
Phillip is such an asset to the chateau. His eye to add those details. It is like the cherry on the top of the sundae.
WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU & BEAUTIFUL FLOWERING PROGRESS!! 👏👏👍👍

I want a hoodie from Chateau Love,,,,I can actually do my Christmas shopping
Philip did a great job explaining the plan. I do think it would of been nice to have seen Amaury. It has been so long since we have seen him doing any work. Is he gone now?
No. He's still there. Don't think he is over fond of being filmed, especially when he's working, and he usually is.
@@crae3422 And when it's hot, he takes his shirt off....Now that he and Natti are living together away from Lalande, even though they both work there, they probably go home after work to relax and have dinner, especially on weekdays, whereas before, they were pretty much pulled into the vlogs if they were in the kitchen at night.

Feels like a classic Chateau Diaries in the best possible way! Loved everything in this one -- thank you for a lovely day "visiting" with you!
absolute delightful. Philip throwing his "slippers" at the naughty peacock and Stephanie absolutely roaring laughing about it. totally priceless clip

Love the bathroom, just to say that George Bernard Shaw was born in Dublin Ireland and is a Irish Playwright, he died in Hertfordshire England. ❤
The house in the UK had a famous green writing shed. I think she was speaking of that shed. It was on a round platform so that you can move it around, so there was sun in the window at all times. See Shaw's Corner.
Was about to write same 😉 definitely Irish 😊 . Love the vlogs as always
@@carolinegooder7091 Nope she called him 'the very famous British playwright'.
I’m sure the paint is named after the shed. But the playwright is Irish which is the part I was correcting

George Bernard Shaw was a famous brilliant Irish playwright among many other things. Not sure why Little Greene would say he was British.

A most Happy Birthday to the Lovely and sweet Vivian 💝
Lovely to see new chicks. Hope you checked on the last egg. You know there is always one slow child occasionally ❤
Good arm, Philip. 😊
I really hope you find new homes for the pea chicks once they get older and get the paired with new ones to avoid inbreeding, they are so cute.
Vivian is a very likeable lady, she is full of light x.
Happy birthday bright one😊
thats why i love this channel! la lande bursting with life
A white peacock must be a very beautiful thing. It will be fun to watch it grow up. I hope its a boy! 🧡
@ChateauDiariesOfficial_ those usually come in multiples. Go away Scammer!!!
I can not wait to see all the renovation changes.
It has already been over six months we have been waiting for the project to even start.
It will be wonderful when done I am sure.
I am amazed by how changed the garden is! It feels like The Secret Garden now lol.
This vlog had a little bit of everything and I love it.
Another enjoyable time spent at LaLande. Love the outdoor episodes with the gardens and the "critters".
I’m red green color blind and yet the way I perceive green makes it my favorite color. Love what you have done.
I love to see you use those paint brushes! You may not be painting masterpieces like he did but you’re painting and using those brushes furthers connects to him and all the pieces he too used those brushes on. But I’m a sap like that. Love the history and legacy!
Oh gosh, when Toadrick was there and Phillip said "I wonder what the toad -l (of toads) is", I was ROFL!😂😂😂😂. Another 👍 video!
Would loved to have heard Amoury discussing the repairs to the Grand Salon. He is so detailed and talented.
He has before.
What a surprising delight! The newest La Landers cheeping away. Everything looks so lush in the gardens too.
I had a friend who used to make a game for the birthday person, featuring the person...brilliant and such fun...
Absolutely no big repairs when you are in your 90's Stephanie. You need the time to do receptions and hosting Chateau Lalande visitors.❤🎉
Happy Birthday, Vivienne!
The Royal Garden has really come along. Beautiful
Oh, that bracelet! ❤ "They're full of the things we love: royal symbols, fleur-de-lis, lions..." Yes, exactly the things I love.

Oh! the Peacock Adventure has been absolutely exciting. It reminds me of the days I spent on a Dairy Farm. Of course that was a long time ago. Thank you for all the fun!
Bonne Maman was beautiful before but now it is just spectacular. Love the colors. And their names as well. Wonderful job Stephanie. And using your father’s brushes seems as if he’s contributing as well. I’m sure he’s smiling watching you paint.
I love the prints from Vivienne and the silver frames that she put them in! I love everything in her shop! Can't wait to do some shopping! Exciting to have a white peacock around! enjoyed the whole vlog! Thanks for sharing!
I thought you’d already shown similar footage previously about the grand salon plans and the plans to remodel the bedrooms above it.
Only in a video for my patrons 😊
So glad to see your gardens are flourishing. Very glad to hear your plans about the grand salon.
Steph try a dough cutter against the wall to protect the wall above an edge when painting
Thank you for sharing your home with me. It brings me much joy to join y'all with your beautiful dinners.😊
The grout needs some fresh grout paint or cleaning. This is an easy inexpensive way to freshen up your tiles without replacing your tile.
Dan put steal beams.
The lavender in the courtyard is glorious 💜 well done 🥰
Thank you for your painting tip. Never thought of using an artist’s bush to cut in like that ✍️ You may have turned my life around 😂
I love how you support each other 🥰
Just love that u have Peacocks at ur Chateau, and the little ones r so beautiful.
Everything is so beautiful at La Lande and those peachick how cute are they and a white one wow ,All the fruit look delicious yummy take care everyone see you all soon 💕🌼🤗
That's going to be really fascinating watching the walls and ceiling come down and then see it all be built back up. I can't wait!
The right tools make every job easier.
Bravo Phillip!
Hello everybody from Lalande! Just a little idea, I would paint the pink leaves from both lights a bluish/purple color same as in the wall paper 😊
I love those lamps, I think they go well with the theme of the bathroom and it would be a pity to replace them 😊 and indeed with purple leaves they would seem as if they were made for this room🤩
I agree with you a hundred percent, exactly what I was going to say, a bluish/purple painted on the flower petals. And keeping the leaves the way they are or a different shade of green if something works better with the shades of green paint down below.
@@cecilea6938 Yes, purple (or bluish/purple) paint on the petals would be perfect.
White peacocks are the rarest and are very valuable!
You guys have ferrets running wild? I guess I just never thought about where ferrets come from. I guess I thought they were kind of like dogs where people bred them. 52 years old and still learning, I love it!
The gardens are beautiful--- amazingly luxuriant and sure to produce a bumper crop. As for Toadrick, I imagine he’ll be meeting up with Freddie the Frog sometime soon to compare notes on life at Lalande.
You need to use painting tape for better straight lines in corners.
That green is MAGNIFICENT!
Absolutely a delight to see Vivienne again. She lights up a room with her smile and bubbly personality. Her creativity is incredible and I wish her all the best with her shop. The pea chicks are so cute. Look forward to the reveal of the grand salon one day.❤
Those peachicks are just adorable! I can’t wait for the white peacock, they are beautiful. I just love the bathroom you were painting in Stephanie, that wallpaper is just beautiful! I loved todays video! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
