No wonder you get looks Patrick,carrying the Trumeau on your shoulder,like a feather,it’s so gorgeous ,you can never have enough gold in a Chateau 👌Your sewing skills are great Patrick👍 Thank you for the Brocant & outdoor market shopping 👌it look so bleak & cold 🥶 love the chair you found ,who will be reupholstering it ! Take care 🥰
Funny thing is Patrick, when you were carrying that beautiful trumo thing around, kind of like a purse on your shoulder, you could not tell it was heavy. You still have that swag in your step .☺ Stuart does an excellent job keeping the camera straight and steady as he pans around. Bravo on the curtains! Love them!
Lovely as always. ❤ You can never have too much gold! Gild everything! Patrick, I am so impressed by your sewing skills. And you are so right, leave the electrical and plumbing to the professionals. There are some things even the most talented queens should never try. Looking forward to brocanting with you boys! ❤❤❤
You had me at "there were multiple brocantes." 😉 Thanks for taking me shopping. Lovely gifts from your parents, Patrick. The paintings are charming and the chair a diamond in the rough. Oh, and watching you sew with your Pfaff makes me want to dust off mine and get creative. Your curtains make a wonderful frame to that beautiful view. Great job! After you wrangle the summer fruit bounty, it looks like you've got a long list of winter projects in the que. Ahh, château life. Au revoir, à la prochaine.
Guild away gentlemen! There must be some grandeur in a chateau! Thank you for taking us window shopping. It’s fun seeing all the goodies when you are out shopping! Good luck with your winterizing project.❤️
Thank you Nancy. Agreed. We need some bling in a tasteful manner. 🥰💖🥰 we are happy you enjoy our little trips in search of treasure. Glad you are with us on this journey. 😘💗😘
A grand lady needs jewelry . GiLding which I love is like jewelry ... ornate furnishings need a bit of dazzle. GILDING ACCENTUATES THE BEAUTY OF EVERYTHING. I KNOW IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL AND INCREDIBLY TASTEFUL ! I L9VED THE HOME YOU SOLD IN THE STATES. IT WAS ECCLECTIC AND MY TASTE RUNS IN THAT VEIN AS WELL.
Hi Rosemarie. Thank you so much. We like eclectic too. We will try to stay in period on the ground floor and then mix upstairs. 😘🥰😘. I agree with gilding being like jewelry. It adds to beauty. Huge hugs 🥰🥰🥰
Guys, love you meeting you on Wed. Everything you acquired is beautiful. Your parents are so thoughtful. Wish I had a man that cooks several course meals, fixes things and can use sewing machines and make pretty curtains and loves to laugh and loves dogs.. ooh la la. People look at you because you're handsome and striking. Both of you. Ohh chateau. Great show.
Hello dear Rhonda. Thank you so much. You are so kind. 🥰🥰🥰. I keep my fingers crossed for that man for you! 🥰🥰. Now, you are extremely kind calling me handsome! Stuart, yes……. Love you. Hugs. 💖🥰💖
Hi fellas, I love a great happy accidents. Matching the lamps and the material. Blessings in the little things! Patrick good work on the curtains. You two are creating a beautiful home. I'm especially excited to see the tattered chair begin a new life. God bless you and yours. Love, jenwhite 🥰 ❤ 💖
I actually saw my doctors this week and I am recovering very well. She says that my husband is doing a great job changing my bandages. He's quite a trooper helping me. Thank you for your good thoughts. Love to Stuart too.
@@jenwhitelife2464 we are so very glad for you. Big hug to your husband for his great care! Love your positive attitude. I believe it’s the only way. Hugs. 💖💗💖👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
the trumeau is so pretty and feminine looking! I would have dragged that thing all over a French brocante too! Guild away, it is your place and you are the ones who have to live with it! I can see it painted a pale pink..but that is me! 😀Thanks for another great video
PS great find! Just an idea put some gold on first then paint and lightly sand off some of paint. The gold will show through but won’t overwhelm this stunning piece
Great brocante finds and gifts! The trumeau is so gorgeous! And your toile de jouy curtains came out beautifully! And the etsy find was fabulous! Can't wait for next week!! Have a great week!
Hi Melissa. Thank you so much. Loved the trumeau. Went by and asked the price on our way back….. The Etsy find made me happy. Much love from Colombe. 💗🥰💗
Lovely work on the curtains, I’m so impressed. If this was my choice, I would be lining them, as ultra violet kills material patterns, this would help protect them. I love the look of the copper pots too, bringing home your spoils of the day is very exciting. Still lots of work yet to do but it’s all going to look marvellous. 🥰
Hi Laurann . I will line the curtains that are exposed to daily sunlight. the Farmhouse's shutter are closed most of the time. The copper pots are making me happy. Great way to cook. Leaving for our next brocante in about 8 hours. long way but all exciting work. hugs from Colombe 🥰😘🥰
Winter preparations, yes, very stressful, but you will do well. Love you both. Patrick you carried that Trumaux around like it was... yes, mine, all mine! Absolutely please do the gilding on it as it is screaming for it. The gifts your parents gave you are awesome. I know that chair will be very "swanky" as they say back home in Newfoundland. The fabric and the curtains are beautiful, as well as the lamp shades. Ooh la la! So glad you both had another lovely week, hope they keep coming. Thanks both for sharing and for the chuckles. Cheers to you both.
Can’t believe it is getting cold there already after the hot weather you have had . I love all your purchases & I think you stand out in a crowd because you are both very handsome men . Keep safe , Covid has reared its ugly head here in Melbourne Australia , so look after yourselves . Love to you both , I so enjoy your videos . Julie ,Bobby & Annie Marree
It’s a first taste of fall….. brrrrrr. Now, that was very kind of you to say. I think I’m just a tall weird guy 🤪😳😂. We are seeing more people with masks in stores. We will mask up again, just to be sure that we don’t infect anyone if we are asymptotic. We adore you and thank you so very much for your comment. Hugs from us here at crazy Colombe. 🥰🥰🥰
😂 laughed so hard when you showed how pitch black dark early it was when you left the chateau. Delightful fun and all of your gifts from your parents plus your purchases were wonderful.
I usually watch live and try and comment on what has been impressive. This week my son is in hospital very ill, and I just had some time in the middle of the night, on my cell phone with earbuds. What a godsend to be able to transport myself to the French countryside and fall into the delicious world of truly beautiful interior design elements. I can't wait to watch again on larger screen to enjoy the details of the toile and trumeau. You gentlemen are the best 💗
Hi Marlyse. We hope and pray that your son is recovering. Thank you for your comment. We are very honored that we are a place you can find some enjoyment. Please keep us posted. Big hugs and our best wishes for your son and you. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful Brocante finds. Oh, just forget the time slot. I watch you both, plus many more. I love the couple at, "Our move to France". Give them a look, they are working hard. I try to support all of the English speaking French property buyers. I ADORE the fact that you all are reclaiming history. Hugs, and best wishes!
Please consider stripping the trumeau to reveal the crispness of its carved detail blurred by the its paint before its new finish is applied. Love that you bought the beautifully carved white covered chair from the brocant you visited with your parents. Its a keeper.
Wow the weather has changed dramatically, autumn is almost here !!! Love the lamps in the ever changing background 😍 👌 ❤. Another great vlog,thanks guys.
Hello dear Ivy. You are very kind. The lamp shades were a great find. We smiled when we saw them. Love the trumeau. Be safe and happy. Hugs from Colombe. 🥰🥰🥰
So much to look at! Lovely trumeau you carried with ease and the fabric! I think you've inspired my search for some soft green botanical toile for a shower curtain! Thanks
Morning Patrick & Stuart, after 2 and half hours, we are back on internet, darn these outages!!! I was just enjoying your video when blank went the screen. Oh well, my darling son is such a genius with the computer he set it all back right where I had to leave, I just exclaimed oh, oh, oh so I can just carry on. Those lamps decorated with the same fabric as you have, is that now not co-incidental or what?? I love when doing a project and everything comes together, it is such a blessing. The curtains are hanging beautifully, and I bet the chutney tasted great, when it is well cooked we can enjoy is sort of the same day, it is just for the flavours to develop. I baked a fruit Christmas cake, my husband pestered me until that cake was sliced, and then it was all over, each day we had slices and slices can't remember if I baked a second one. I do remember threatening him the years after, do no ask and do not touch. The fact is so much preparation and expense goes into the making of Festive treats, that's the only reason we hang on to it for a bit longer. Glad of you good finds at the brocante, the early bird catches the worm, so just plan and go for it. It sounds to me like you fellows are now settled in and taking each day making the best of it. Yes there are many trials and tribulations in life, but keep to yourself most of the time and avoid trouble. It is possible. Can't wait for the next video to see what is happening. Just remember wherever water is near a town the atmosphere is badly effected, it does become colder, take the good with the bad. Do take care, be alert kind regards.
I have two episodes to watch, I have been far to busy with this years flu! Awful, it was honestly worse then covit! I love the curtains guys. The outings are wonderful, the countryside and villages are so pretty. Guild away, a Chateau needs some bling! I guess the rule of less is more may be helpful. You are both stylish and will balance it just right. And after all it is also your home, which means it has to sing to you. 😘😘
We had a summer flue and we were really sick for 5 days. Plus the days before and after. Was awful. Thank you on the gilding. We want it to be stylish and not over the top. We just got an item that needs re-gilding. Glad you like the curtains. I’m working on the 6 curtains we need for our bedroom. And the bed crown too 🤩🤩🤩. Be safe. Don’t get that flu! 💗💖💗
@@cliffhorman6846 I’d put you to work….. sorry. 🥰😂. So many curtains to sew. My granny’s machine is not working. The bobbin is defective. I wanted to have the bedroom curtains done. Nope. 😡😤😩
Too gild or not to gild, that is the question!! LOL. Whatever you two fab guys decide to do is just fine with me!! And, I love your brocante adventures!!! 🇺🇲
Hi Jane. It was a big question but since 99.9% of comments and emails say gilding……. It is now decided. Yay 💖😘💖. Brocanting is fun. You just reminded me that I need to check where we are going on Sunday. 🥰🥰🥰. Hugs from Colombe. 💖🥰
Your grand salon will be beautiful either way, but it’s always fun to have something gilded. I mean it’s a chateau, whether you call it a country chateau, it’s a chateau, so gild to your hearts content! Love you, love the toile and your purchases! xx
You guys walked past a fainting couch, and I screamed at the screen, “stop!” so loud my cats jumped awake! Though the small child’s room upstairs might only fit one bed, a small fainting couch might fit by the window and you could actually accommodate two children, maybe three if they are small. I know you aren’t even close to doing anything with that room yet…..but I can’t help having visions for it!
Hi there darling. You made me laugh. I do that too. Yelling at the screen…….. 😮😂. Shows your passion. 💗. We’d have to do so much insulation work first. As you said, that’s a future project. 👍🏻. My apologies to your cats. 😘😘😘😘
Gorgeous toile curtains, great job! The trumeau is gorgeous!! Gild where you want, you have a very nice plan for where & what you'll gild, and it's your chateau!!
I always watch you both with a smile your a pleasure to watch. Love the curtains and lamps . Patrick that was funny carrying your purchase on your shoulder making you even taller still .Lovely gifts from your parents too. 💕Xxxx.
Is there an end to your talents Patrick? Making beautiful curtains now your resume must be endless, but I guess having a chateau you have to master nearly all trades. Your doing great, love the vlogs and the banter, sending hugs
You are way too kind. 😘😘 We need to be able to do as much as possible to afford our lives here. Thank you so much for being with us. Huge and love. 💗💖💗
Love the fabric and little lamps and shades. I one says yes to guilding, a chateau needs a little guilding and sparkly chandeliers. The trumo was a fab fined. Glad youve had another great week and hope your electric supply is increased. Xxxx
Thank you Cherie. We thought they looked great and they are prettier in person. 👍🏻 We totally agree, every chateau, especially from the 17 and 18th century needs gilding and some crystals. 💗💖💗 Electric supply is stable and now safe. Yay. 😘🥰😘
Hi there, so sorry I missed your premiere, but I do have my internet sorted out now. Love the trumeau, can't wait to see it in situ, and that chair is gorgeous, I have a similar project waiting to be done, hope you are both well and see you soon xx
Thoughts of winter already! I guess it will be a big job trying to figure out the heating. Still it will be a jice change from Chicago Winter's and I will think of you fondly while in my Northern Ontario winter
Hi there. Yes….. thoughts of the approaching winter are emerging. 😧🤪 Nothing like a Midwestern or Canadian winter. That is for sure. We will keep you entertained while trying to heat the chateau. 😘💖😘
Love your curtains also you could have bought that tatty chair at the brocante and covered it in the same material as the curtains it would have looked lovely in your gite
Hi l Love The Pattern on the curtains would be nice if you lined them would make them a little bit thicker and if you have draughty windows keep the cold out I think Stephanie got wallpaper or curtains the same you did a great job thank you for sharing your blog💕💐🏰
I can't Wait to see the curtains up with the two adorable lamps in the room too. What ever you do in the grand salon will be lovely. I'm feeling envy of the cold weather. It is sweltering in Louisiana!
Hi Katherine. Thank you so much. We are looking forward to having new curtains in our bedroom. We will try to recreate the salon as it might have been in the 18th century. Exciting! 👍🏻💗👍🏻 sorry you have the high humidity heat. That kills me. Hang in there. Hugs. 💖💖
I'm so thankful Patrick has parents there. Makes one have a strong security and belonging. My mother died in Vanderbilt when I was 21. She was only 40. As much as I would love to move to a French farm house on pastoral land I could never separate from my 5 dogs, 4 birds to make the journey. Maybe if we could go by boat it would be easier. We could stay together. I have no idea. It's not meant to be.
It's YOUR home. If you want gilding, then by all means gild. Not everything has to be historically and geographically accurate in my opinion. Your home should reflect your personalities. I live in a log home and I tried the rustic/mountain decor at first but it just wasn't me. My home now reflects my eccentricities. 😉 Love the curtains and lampshades! 😘
Hi Dana. Love your input. Rustic decor would have been a challenge for me too. 😳😂😳. Our homes should reflect where we want to live. Spot on. There was building in the countryside. So we will be careful not to overdo it but still enjoy the bits we will have. Huge hug. 💗👍🏻💗
Love love watching both of you talented people!! Love the curtains and little lamps! Such superb material, I would have lined? Day light they would show the pattern better and protect fabric for many years? Just a thought. Happy busy days, and I can't wait for next video and steps to a beautiful Chateau...
I’m so anxious to see what’s happening with the renovations in the chateau! I know you’ve incredibly busy getting the farmhouse ready for guests and an awesome job you’ve done there. But I’m missing seeing the chateau. P.S. I don’t think you need to get up at 5:00 to go brocanting anymore! Enjoy your coffee and head out around 7! 😁😁
We need to get all utilities and all chimneys checked and updated in the chateau before that renovation can continue. We have been waiting on most of those services to show up for months. This is France. We also need the income from the farmhouse to do other renovations, so that is a priority.
@@JourneytotheChateau Of course you do. I should have realized that from the urgency to get the farmhouse habitable. So sorry! I get a little too excited! I know this whole endeavor is a huge financial drain. You both have done so much in such a short time. 🙂 Hugs!
I really enjoy watching your videos. You are both so lovely and your love of life and the pleasure you take in restoring your chateau comes across. It's infectious 🥰
Hi guys what lovely finds that would be lovely to do the curtains look lovely definitely set of the room I can see why it’s very early to get up but worth it in the end all these bits and pieces make it all come together love the fire surround very pretty not too over the top just right for the room have a good week
OH! You need to guild in the Chateau, it would be beautiful!! Love the Toile de Jouy and what a wonderful find with the lamp shades!! Looking forward to your next video.
Guilding will be absolutely beautiful on the piece you found. Can’t wait to see the finished outcome. I your channel by the way. Saw you both once in Chateau Diaries with Stephanie and Phillip and followed you over. I watch you guys every week now, your vlogs make me smile. Best of luck in all your adventures in France.
Thank you so much for your kind comment. 💖😘💖. We loved our time with Stephanie and Philip and LaLande. We are glad you enjoy our crazy journey. Hugs from Colombe. 😘😘😘
The curtains look so pretty. You can look out of the window and see the heron from the print standing in the pond. But no thanks giving turkey. 🤣Our fig chutney has also been consumed, yummy
Hello darling. It is so true. I saw 4 gorgeous pheasants today….. Stand in for the turkey maybe? 😳😜. Glad you liked the chutney. We picked 14 kilos of figs today. Washed, cut up and sitting overnight. Much love to you and Martin. 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Andrea. Thank you. ❤. I’m always amazed what we come home with from brocantes. We will gild happily and with restraint. 😜😂. All the best to you in Sydney. 🥰🥰🥰
You made me laugh again Patrick with your comment about licking the electric box part! I am so impressed that you can make your own curtains...they're gorgeous!!! You guys are great....always fun to watch your vlog!
Stuart, when you held the vacuum up as Patrick drilled holes, you became my favorite chateau owner! 😂 Watching restoration shows is not good for my compulsive cleaning anxiety.
Another great vlog guys. I look forward to every one. Your sense of humour is what keeps me engaged. Well, your good humour, your beautiful home and your adventures in France.
Beautiful window treatment! You two are so talented! What luck to find lamps with matching patterned shades. Much appreciation for all you share with us and big hugs as well!
Good grief I am so impressed. A man who can sew, drill and loves to shop!!! What a guy
😘😘😘😘😘

PATRICK CAN SEW VERY❤️ WELL. HE HAS A Great PFAFF🤩 MACHINE. VERY AWESOME. 👍
From what I've seen. MOST Chateau and 🏰 owners sew the Curtains and they love the Old Original Era patterns. I think it's PERFECT 🤩
I know right Jan, where can I sign up for a guy like him?😂❤️
Ha ha gilding... go for it. Do what makes you happy. In a land of chocolate and vanilla... BE STRAWBERRY.
No wonder you get looks Patrick,carrying the Trumeau on your shoulder,like a feather,it’s so gorgeous ,you can never have enough gold in a Chateau 👌Your sewing skills are great Patrick👍
Thank you for the Brocant & outdoor market shopping 👌it look so bleak & cold 🥶
love the chair you found ,who will be reupholstering it !
Take care 🥰
Dear Patrick and Stuart, you are a joy to me. You work well together too. Best wishes.
I just love your comment!!!!!

Lovely as always. ❤ You can never have too much gold! Gild everything!

We did consider but it is not woo, it’s plaster. Our art historian warned us that it might deteriorate. 😮. Love the chair too. Great carvings. 😘🥰😘
Wow the weather has changed dramatically, autumn is almost here !!! Love the lamps in the ever changing background 😍 👌 ❤. Another great vlog,thanks guys.
Beautifully sewn curtains love the Toile de Jouy material and love the quaint little lamps also. Nice find in the Trumeau

I baked a fruit Christmas cake, my husband pestered me until that cake was sliced, and then it was all over, each day we had slices and slices can't remember if I baked a second one. I do remember threatening him the years after, do no ask and do not touch. The fact is so much preparation and expense goes into the making of Festive treats, that's the only reason we hang on to it for a bit longer. Glad of you good finds at the brocante, the early bird catches the worm, so just plan and go for it. It sounds to me like you fellows are now settled in and taking each day making the best of it. Yes there are many trials and tribulations in life, but keep to yourself most of the time and avoid trouble. It is possible. Can't wait for the next video to see what is happening. Just remember wherever water is near a town the atmosphere is badly effected, it does become colder, take the good with the bad. Do take care, be alert kind regards.
Glad to hear you got it up and running again! Thank you for your comments and continued support! 🥰
I have two episodes to watch, I have been far to busy with this years flu! Awful, it was honestly worse then covit! I love the curtains guys. The outings are wonderful, the countryside and villages are so pretty. Guild away, a Chateau needs some bling! I guess the rule of less is more may be helpful. You are both stylish and will balance it just right. And after all it is also your home, which means it has to sing to you. 😘😘
We had a summer flue and we were really sick for 5 days. Plus the days before and after. Was awful. Thank you on the gilding. We want it to be stylish and not over the top. We just got an item that needs re-gilding. Glad you like the curtains. I’m working on the 6 curtains we need for our bedroom. And the bed crown too 🤩🤩🤩. Be safe. Don’t get that flu! 💗💖💗
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Already had the flu and recovering now. I also like sewing! Love you guys.
@@cliffhorman6846 I’d put you to work….. sorry. 🥰😂. So many curtains to sew. My granny’s machine is not working. The bobbin is defective. I wanted to have the bedroom curtains done. Nope. 😡😤😩
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 I would never leave, what a magical place and adventure 😘😘
Love those two little watercolors
Too gild or not to gild, that is the question!! LOL. Whatever you two fab guys decide to do is just fine with me!! And, I love your brocante adventures!!! 🇺🇲
Hi Jane. It was a big question but since 99.9% of comments and emails say gilding……. It is now decided. Yay 💖😘💖. Brocanting is fun. You just reminded me that I need to check where we are going on Sunday. 🥰🥰🥰. Hugs from Colombe. 💖🥰
Your grand salon will be beautiful either way, but it’s always fun to have something gilded. I mean it’s a chateau, whether you call it a country chateau, it’s a chateau, so gild to your hearts content! Love you, love the toile and your purchases! xx
Hi Stephanie. Love you and your comment. True. It’s a chateau. We will carefully gild
Hugs from us 💗💖💗
You guys walked past a fainting couch, and I screamed at the screen, “stop!” so loud my cats jumped awake! Though the small child’s room upstairs might only fit one bed, a small fainting couch might fit by the window and you could actually accommodate two children, maybe three if they are small. I know you aren’t even close to doing anything with that room yet…..but I can’t help having visions for it!
Hi there darling. You made me laugh. I do that too. Yelling at the screen…….. 😮😂. Shows your passion. 💗. We’d have to do so much insulation work first. As you said, that’s a future project. 👍🏻. My apologies to your cats. 😘😘😘😘
Gorgeous toile curtains, great job!
The trumeau is gorgeous!!
Gild where you want, you have a very nice plan for where & what you'll gild, and it's your chateau!!
Hi Michelle. Thank you so much. I love your comment. 😘🥰😘
I always watch you both with a smile your a pleasure to watch. Love the curtains and lamps . Patrick that was funny carrying your purchase on your shoulder making you even taller still .Lovely gifts from your parents too. 💕Xxxx.
Is there an end to your talents Patrick? Making beautiful curtains now your resume must be endless, but I guess having a chateau you have to master nearly all trades. Your doing great, love the vlogs and the banter, sending hugs
Thank you so much! 💕
You are way too kind. 😘😘 We need to be able to do as much as possible to afford our lives here. Thank you so much for being with us. Huge and love. 💗💖💗
Lucky find! I can’t wait to see it hanging in your exquisite château. 💗
😘🥰😘
I love your lamps but the picture at the back of them is just beautiful
Love the fabric and little lamps and shades. I one says yes to guilding, a chateau needs a little guilding and sparkly chandeliers. The trumo was a fab fined. Glad youve had another great week and hope your electric supply is increased. Xxxx
Thank you Cherie. We thought they looked great and they are prettier in person. 👍🏻 We totally agree, every chateau, especially from the 17 and 18th century needs gilding and some crystals. 💗💖💗 Electric supply is stable and now safe. Yay. 😘🥰😘
I don’t know if it’s my phone or if the curtains are green and the lampshades are blue?
Love the fabric...you did so beautifully on the drapes. Keep your smiles and wonderful outlook on life..till next time.
Hi Dianne. Than you so much 😘😘😘
Gild your little hearts out! Can’t have too much.
Thank you so much Connie. We will. 💗🥰💗
Hi there, so sorry I missed your premiere, but I do have my internet sorted out now. Love the trumeau, can't wait to see it in situ, and that chair is gorgeous, I have a similar project waiting to be done, hope you are both well and see you soon xx
Thoughts of winter already! I guess it will be a big job trying to figure out the heating. Still it will be a jice change from Chicago Winter's and I will think of you fondly while in my Northern Ontario winter
Hi there. Yes….. thoughts of the approaching winter are emerging. 😧🤪 Nothing like a Midwestern or Canadian winter. That is for sure. We will keep you entertained while trying to heat the chateau. 😘💖😘
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 it promises to be an amusing winter!
The curtains are beautiful! Nice job. Paint what you want, guild what you want…YOU live there. ❤
Hi Allyson. Thank you so much. Love your comment. 😘💖😘
Love the trumeau! Good choice. Oh and: Do not guild. 🤣
To guild or not to guild ....... the choice is yours. It is your home after all
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love your curtains also you could have bought that tatty chair at the brocante and covered it in the same material as the curtains it would have looked lovely in your gite
Hi l Love The Pattern on the curtains would be nice if you lined them would make them a little bit thicker and if you have draughty windows keep the cold out I think Stephanie got wallpaper or curtains the same you did a great job thank you for sharing your blog💕💐🏰
Ran a b&b for many years in Australia, guests really appreciated comfy club like chairs to lounge in at the end of the day. (Food for thought)
Good point. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤
Gild everything! It’s a chateau after all xxx
😘🥰😘
Being able to make curtains is way more important for a chauteau owner that shocking yourself with electricity😀 Well done you two.
I love your comment. 💖😘💖
Oooooh those paintings are lovely. Enjoy the gift from the parentals. Xx
I can't Wait to see the curtains up with the two adorable lamps in the room too. What ever you do in the grand salon will be lovely. I'm feeling envy of the cold weather. It is sweltering in Louisiana!
Hi Katherine. Thank you so much. We are looking forward to having new curtains in our bedroom. We will try to recreate the salon as it might have been in the 18th century. Exciting! 👍🏻💗👍🏻 sorry you have the high humidity heat. That kills me. Hang in there. Hugs. 💖💖
To me it’s your home gild away! Love watching you both have a beautiful day😁
Hi Julia. Ok then! I’ll gild away. Thank you so much. 🥰💖😜🥰
Thank you, Julia! 💕
I'm so thankful Patrick has parents there.
Makes one have a strong security and belonging.
My mother died in Vanderbilt when I was 21. She was only 40.
As much as I would love to move to a French farm house on pastoral land I could never separate from my 5 dogs, 4 birds to make the journey. Maybe if we could go by boat it would be easier. We could stay together. I have no idea. It's not meant to be.
It's YOUR home. If you want gilding, then by all means gild. Not everything has to be historically and geographically accurate in my opinion. Your home should reflect your personalities.
I live in a log home and I tried the rustic/mountain decor at first but it just wasn't me. My home now reflects my eccentricities. 😉
Love the curtains and lampshades! 😘
Hi Dana. Love your input. Rustic decor would have been a challenge for me too. 😳😂😳. Our homes should reflect where we want to live. Spot on. There was building in the countryside. So we will be careful not to overdo it but still enjoy the bits we will have. Huge hug. 💗👍🏻💗
You two are delightful & Happy you are sharing this grand adventure 👍🏻
I vote for Gilding all the way! Cheers 🥂
Hello there Laura. Thank you so much. Very kind of you. And yes, we will gild some. 💗🥰💗
Love love watching both of you talented people!!
Love the curtains and little lamps!
Such superb material, I would have lined? Day light they would show the pattern better and protect fabric for many years? Just a thought. Happy busy days, and I can't wait for next video and steps to a beautiful Chateau...
Love the toile…Talented pair that you are! We can’t wait to click on your vlogs, you both laugh so much😘
😊 thank you!!
You are too kind. Thank you so much. 😘🥰😘
Those little lamps are gorgeous.
I’m so anxious to see what’s happening with the renovations in the chateau! I know you’ve incredibly busy getting the farmhouse ready for guests and an awesome job you’ve done there. But I’m missing seeing the chateau. P.S. I don’t think you need to get up at 5:00 to go brocanting anymore! Enjoy your coffee and head out around 7! 😁😁
We need to get all utilities and all chimneys checked and updated in the chateau before that renovation can continue. We have been waiting on most of those services to show up for months. This is France. We also need the income from the farmhouse to do other renovations, so that is a priority.
We have to let John finish the electrical. But there will be some progress in our bedroom soon. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
We get out early so the gigs can have a full day running. They potty early and then go back to sleep. And the roads are empty. ❤
@@JourneytotheChateau Of course you do. I should have realized that from the urgency to get the farmhouse habitable. So sorry! I get a little too excited! I know this whole endeavor is a huge financial drain. You both have done so much in such a short time. 🙂 Hugs!
@@patrickjourneytothechateau8243 Makes perfect sense!
I really enjoy watching your videos. You are both so lovely and your love of life and the pleasure you take in restoring your chateau comes across. It's infectious 🥰
Thank you Carole! ❤️
💗🥰💗
Can you share your chutney recipe? No end to your talents, so good to see the joy. the curtains are lovely.
Hi guys what lovely finds that would be lovely to do the curtains look lovely definitely set of the room I can see why it’s very early to get up but worth it in the end all these bits and pieces make it all come together love the fire surround very pretty not too over the top just right for the room have a good week
OH! You need to guild in the Chateau, it would be beautiful!! Love the Toile de Jouy and what a wonderful find with the lamp shades!! Looking forward to your next video.
Ok Callie. We will gild. It is official. 🥰😘🥰. Thank you so much for your comment. Hugs. 💖💗💖
Love the Toile de Joey curtains and lamp shades.
They are so cheerful. ❤
Hello beautiful people 💕
Hello Big Mamma. Hugs from Colombe
Guilding will be absolutely beautiful on the piece you found. Can’t wait to see the finished outcome. I your channel by the way. Saw you both once in Chateau Diaries with Stephanie and Phillip and followed you over. I watch you guys every week now, your vlogs make me smile. Best of luck in all your adventures in France.
Thank you, Rose! 💕
Thank you so much for your kind comment. 💖😘💖. We loved our time with Stephanie and Philip and LaLande. We are glad you enjoy our crazy journey. Hugs from Colombe. 😘😘😘
The curtains look so pretty. You can look out of the window and see the heron from the print standing in the pond. But no thanks giving turkey. 🤣Our fig chutney has also been consumed, yummy
Thank you, Margaret! 🥰
Hello darling. It is so true. I saw 4 gorgeous pheasants today….. Stand in for the turkey maybe? 😳😜. Glad you liked the chutney. We picked 14 kilos of figs today. Washed, cut up and sitting overnight. Much love to you and Martin. 🥰🥰🥰
Love the curtains and the lamp's will go very well with them ,and a little bling doesn't harm anyone great video x 💕🌼🌼🤗
I agree Carol , a little bling goes a long way and makes many of us happy. Glad you like the curtains. Big hugs from Colombe. 💖💗💖
Love the purchases! Gild away…. You have got great taste, so whatever you do will work brilliantly. Love from Sydney. 🇿🇦🎶🍾
Hi Andrea. Thank you. ❤. I’m always amazed what we come home with from brocantes. We will gild happily and with restraint. 😜😂. All the best to you in Sydney. 🥰🥰🥰
You made me laugh again Patrick with your comment about licking the electric box part! I am so impressed that you can make your own curtains...they're gorgeous!!! You guys are great....always fun to watch your vlog!
Stuart, when you held the vacuum up as Patrick drilled holes, you became my favorite chateau owner! 😂 Watching restoration shows is not good for my compulsive cleaning anxiety.
😂😂 Thank you, Lora! 💕
Gild away , I say! !! I think I will have to come shopping with you ..... you didn't get enough treasures haha. Curtains look great .
Another great vlog guys. I look forward to every one. Your sense of humour is what keeps me engaged. Well, your good humour, your beautiful home and your adventures in France.
I love gilt !!!!
Beautiful window treatment! You two are so talented! What luck to find lamps with matching patterned shades. Much appreciation for all you share with us and big hugs as well!
Hello darling. Thank you so much for your comment. 🥰💖🥰. Love your comment. Makes such a difference. 😘😘😘
That fire surround is just what I am looking for I must come to France in the summertime and go to some broconte
You'd love it! Make some bold plans! Hugs from Colombe 🥰🥰🤩
