I know things are incredibly busy with the renovation process, but at some point in the future, you should really consider starting a Le Fleur decor line. Many people would pay good money for your gorgeous designs! xx
What a brilliant idea!!!
this!!
Amazing idea!! I’d buy the wall paper in a heartbeat!
This would be amazing!! Yes!
Yes!!!
Once the chateau is finished, you could design tiles, dinnerware, pottery, t-shirts, dresses, shsos, boxes, wrapping paper, perfume bottles, etc Unlimited dideas. The dinnerware would have a pic of your charteau w. name with blue and white design (flower?) around the rim. Love the tiles you designed. The one on the right (your left) looks like a face. Brilliant! You are so creative!
Anna could make a stamp like her wall paper of the chateau and make tiles that way.....people will buy them 100%.
This is a wonderful idea. Anna is so incredibly artistic and multitalented. I admire her so much and her lovely Philip of course 💕 💖 xxxxx
I love this idea! They could make custom dishes, teacups, etc!
I saw a face in the tile too!
Totally agree.
Beautiful, Anna! The original tile is darker for a few potential reasons: 1. the cobalt was less pure at that time (maybe even intentionally), 2. they were wood fired and an oxygen deprived atmosphere (reduction) often results in different or darker colors, 3. or maybe the cobalt was simply thicker, these oxides tend to settle out. Happy they turned out well for you on the first go. With ceramics/pottery there's a lot of room for error.
& Breakage! Firing, transport, instalation etcetera! Fine Job Done!
Anna, you really should restore those stables on your estate into an Arts studio. Your painting skill is exquisite. I have no doubt people would come from all over the world to attend your workshops. And for bonus, be able to book a room in your beautiful chateau. Fantastic work on those tiles, you've inspired me!
Great idea
That is a terrific idea
Artist residencies are a thing! If you had a flexible space, you could potentially rent the space and your guest rooms to guest teachers, who would bring their own students. The trick would be identifying which arts you could cater for without having to dedicate a lot of resources to the set up.
It’s a wonderful idea!!!
If Anna opens a ceramic workshop in the old stables, she found a customer
Anna, what an astounding artistic achievement you have accomplished with those tiles. They are just stunningly beautiful. It’s so very satisfying to be able to watch an artist’s dream become a reality and I commend you for successfully venturing forward with a medium with which you were unfamiliar. So looking forward to seeing them in place. Bravissima!
That was fascinating to watch the whole process from start to finish. They are beautiful. I love how patient you are Anna.
You can ask every guest who stays whether they’d like to paint a tile. Every once in a while get them fired in the kiln and display them on a wall somewhere (or use them as coasters). It would be a cool way to keep memories and have everyone leave a little piece of themself in the chateau
Only 11 minutes? I need more of my favorite show! Anna is truly an artist.
Beautiful. Just beautiful. The tiles. Anna’s talent. The supportive relationship between Anna and Philip. And most of all, the incredible courage of these two to take on this adventure and stay boldly creative and open to trying the new, despite pandemics and all. Just beautiful 🥂♥️
The tiles are beautiful, but I think secretly Phillip was hoping they would turn out orange. 😉 Seriously though what a great touch for the kitchen, your talent is amazing Anna!
Anna you are so talented. The minute you decided to go freehand I could tell that your tiles would be incredible! And they are! Wow! Well done. Looking forward to seeing them in place when the time is right. 💙
You should turn one of the buildings into a pottery/craft space. It could be such a creative escape and very lucrative. People would love to purchase your designs. You could get the girls involved and when guests come to stay you could teach classes....the possibilities are endless.
Would love to see Anna design and make a bespoke dinner service for the chateau!!! GO ANNA! YOU ROCK!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed David's tutorial and I think your tiles will bring you joy and pride as you go about your day in the kitchen.
Your hand painted tiles are absolutely beautiful. They will be a focal point for sure when the kitchen is finished
I studied Ceramics at university and I'm impressed that you took on such a project as a beginner. I was hoping to see you do something like this, Anna. Cheers to you!
These are simply blooming marvellous, Anna! It took my breath away to see your artistic passion finding in new way of expressing itself, the thrill of two creators working together and feeling Philip’s genuine total admiration for both your work and you! A triumph! And just for the sheer love of taking your home through a new chapter of its life with all your names taking pride of place in its story … Bravo et chapeau bas!
I done two huge colourful murals for my two bathrooms using the same technique, which i learned in Morocco. I also made few more for my clients. Also few more plates and cups.
It is the most therapeutic and enjoyable experience in all my interior design years
Noooo why is this episode so short???
Anna, you are amazing, the tiles are so beautiful.
Just like the ones in my country.
Lot's of love from the Netherlands, Daniëlle 😘🙋
it would be really lovely if you could use the old tile you found somwhere in the kitchen, maybe put it in a frame? just to show the full cycle of life! the tiles you made a beautiful
Awesome idea… and I think they are keeping the pieces for their museum?
As a non-artist surrounded by a family of artists, I see your work and think, art but also magic! So beautiful and as with other creative design in the renovation, charming.
I love that you painted your own tiles,I'm a ceramic painter by tread about 34 years ago.I'm from Switzerland and back then early 80's you could still apprentice in Ceramic's and Ceramic Painting more specific! I know how long it takes to do receptive work I used to do plats, mugs, bowls in mass all by hand.They look beautiful good luck for the tilting can't wait to see them installed! Cheers from BC, Canada
This lady is incredible. She is like a machine!!
Absolutely talented, so nice to see you design and make the tiles from scratch!
Glad you like them, Alice
Maybe it was the wild PMS I'm going through this month, but I just started CRYING when Anna displayed the finished tiles! LOL the level of ARTISTRY of your projects is insane. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oh Anna those tiles are gorgeous.What a labor of love.Can't wait to see them installed.
OH Anna the tiles are amazing! As someone who has done ceramics and pottery I loved seeing you go through the process of creating them. When I create art pieces, in an medium, I do the original and use the same transfer method the teacher showed you, which can be tedious. You are so lucky you can do free hand over and over again, because that is difficult. Your hard work paid off. 😊
Have recently visited the Delft factory. It takes ten years to train as a paintress at the factory so well done you, and you saved yourself some money as well as having some delft style tiles unique to you. Looking forward to seeing them in situ.
Wow, time just disappeared watching this. Totally engrossed. This is the best kitchen makeover series ever. I don't care how long it takes to do the kitchen when everything is bespoke and hands on.
So many fantastic feedback comments.
Philip sounds unwell. Get better soon. Cheers to you guys
You could go back and make two dozen more, so the next owners can find the box and be amazed that they can add another bespoke splash of color somewhere 🙂. This is such a cool project!
It’s always been apparent you are artistically multitalented but…these tiles are absolutely fabulous. These tiles are lovely and will be such a special addition to your kitchen!
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
The artist meets a ceramicist and learns how to paint tiles. What a fabulous result. So glad that you signed and dated one. Well done, Anna!
I absolutely love the tiles and the fact that you hand painted each one rather than print them all identical makes them a true work of art and so much nicer
Anna, you have amazing artistic abilities. Who else but you would be brave enough and committed to excellence enough? My stars! Your own wallpaper! Your own tiles! People will be coming from all over the world to view your work. And, to have the comic relief of Philip!
Anna, Love the tiles. I think I will look for blue and white for my kitchen. Been looking for sometime but think I really didn't know what I wanted but I do now. Can hardly wait to see your new kitchen. Love it so are. You're doing great.
Are you kidding me?!?! Anna, I can't believe you hand painted ALL those tiles!! What a labor of love! They turned out fabulous! Can't wait to see them installed.
If the thumbnail is any indication of how gorgeous the finished tiles are, they are going to look stunning! Painting flowers is one of my favorite things and the blue and white is classic. Love it.
As someone with years doing ceramics I can't compliment you enough! Lovely brushwork and design, so beautiful and unique! It makes the world of a difference putting your own artistic mark on such an important project, and although cermics takes time, it's such a mindful process and literally thousands of years old; and buying handpainted tiles like this would have been very expensive and not as beautiful as this.
Aw I feel all fuzzy inside seeing the result, bravo Anna! ❤️
I love how you have put so much of yourselves into the château. Maybe, 100 years from now, someone will be standing in your kitchen, and will point out the tiles you made, and will especially linger on the one you dated and initialed, marveling how your work is as beautiful then as it is now. It’s lovely how art lives on like that.
Anna you continue to amaze me with your art talent!!!!! This is by far my favorite of your creations. I thought your wallpaper was wonderful, especially in your “girlies” room. Then your guest powder room, now these tiles. You have such patience and unreal work ethic. Congratulations and be so proud of all you have accomplished. From a retired art instructor.
So perfect! Thanks so much for this video! Every question I had about your tile making process answered! Yes, the color always changes after firing bc the minerals react to the heat. I’ve glazed with a beige solution that comes out green or red solution that comes out black when the mineral molecules bond and make new compounds. That will be a challenge when you do your mural, envisioning the end product, not what you’re painting. There’s a whole chemistry to it. I just do what my instructor tells me. Agree the uniqueness of each tile gives a hand crafted look. Each one is a work of art. Bravo, Anna, for your talent and your persistence.
My goodness Anna, you are so multitalented and an expert master in everything you create. Your tiles are absolutely stunning and to have enamelled, made the design and painted them free hand is truly remarkable and magical. I think the blue is beautiful and perfect. I can't wait to see them in place. Philip was in awe of your talent and how beautifully the completed tiles are! Bravo Anna. 👏 xxxx🌟🥰👌
Just beautiful Anna .You were so lucky to have such a great potter near you so that you could use his studio .I'd have loved to be working with you but you are so talented with your freehand work .You totally had the technique as I know how difficult it is to control the cobalt oxide .Again ,a job beautifully executed and I can't wait to see them in place .
All I can say is you are an amazing artist. What a unique thing to do , well done. What an clever and interesting man too teach you. Wow 🤗
Oh, Anna, I am a ceramic artist in Loveland, CO, USA. Your tile project brought tears to my eyes. I have made tiles, glazed them and put them on a buffet top and with a nod to my Irish roots, I put a Celtic knot in the middle. I am planning on making tiles for my bathroom remodel, but that will probably take a couple of years to make the number that I need before starting the remodel. So looking forward to seeing your tiles installed.
I'm smitten by your creative bravery. It couldn't have gone wrong, with your heaps of talent. Kudos, guys ❤
Hello dear how are you doing?
Never a dull moment. I hope that you show more of the rich history of your teacher and how he became interested in his craft. Maybe that’s a whole other videos with your girls.
Beautiful - they remind me of some dishes I have that are at least 150 years old, cobalt blue with some touches of a rust/orange. The colours go really nicely together - so maybe Phillip can get his orange into the kitchen with a few terra-cotta pieces holding spoons & spatulas, plants etc. Really makes me want to go find a pottery where I can play like this...
I can't even get over how wonderful those tiles look. It's going to look absolutely amazing in the kitchen and be so, so special. What a lovely and personal touch.
The tiles are exquisite. Congrats on another job extremely well done.
Anna, you are extremely talented to design your tiles and painstakingly handpaint all 220 of them! They look gorgeous and will be the focal point of your kitchen. Kudos. PS Love Ziggy!
Anna, you are my hero!! You're such an amazing talent!! 👏 ✍️👏😃👍
Absolutely stunning, Anna you out did yourself this time ...
Keep Doing What Your Doing ... Because What You Are Doing Is Nothing Short Of Amazing
What a labour of love Anna!. You are very very talented. The tiles you designed and handpainted are just so incredible! What a great idea. To find a craftsman who has this businesss wow, but then the Europeans are masters at keeping traditions going. How wonderful. Your winter project...designing the chateaus own bespoke dinerware set!!!
Oh my gosh!!! What ALOT of work those tiles were!! Now I realize why special order tiles cost SO much!
Anna you have amazing talent!
Now I am tired...just from watching!
Without any doubt, Anna, you definitely know how to renovate a château... First making wallpaper and now decorating your very own porcelain tiles and everything in between!!! You are truly an amazing artist and everything you touch turns out beautifully. I love the colour and pattern you created. You are an inspiration!!! Thank-you for taking us along for the ride!!!
To be able to hand-paint this amount of tiles and not shoot yourself in the head you have to be an absolute madwoman. That said, the process is utterly fascinating, Anna's joy in working with Davide is absolutely adorable, and to be able to watch the whole enterprise is a blessing. Thank you ever so much. This was absolutely splendid.
Anna you are sooo talented… I cannot wait to see the kitchen finished … it is going to be glorious❤️❤️❤️
So pretty Anna…good decision doing it freehand and yes, I agree, they are not all perfect, which makes them perfect. Especially putting the year and date on the last tile was such a good idea. I agree with some of the comments, you should design wallpaper, tiles and so much more, don’t let your talent go to waste. Phillip…way to support Anna, you did good.😊
My dear Anna, I know you can make your own gorgeous wallpaper, but now you've outdone yourself, BRAVO!!! Gorgeous tiles and so befitting the style of the château! My deepest respect and sincerest compliments!!!
It is your home…you do what you want to do to make it feel like home. It is truly the journey… we are lucky you are sharing it with us…great job
Hi Anna and Philipp. The handmade and painting tiles in design and colours look perfect for your Chateau.
How special Anna😀 You did an incredible job and the fact you hand painted freehand was proof of your God given artistic gifting. Well done 👏👏👏👏
Jesus. Those tiles are SO fucking badass. Amazing. One of your best ideas yet.
Oh Anna the tiles are stunning...how very clever are you...homewares designs by Anna coming up I can see. You will do well with whatever you choose to do after the renovations are completed. I think you need a big beautiful studio in one of the outbuildings.
Wow - Amazing job for your first try at tiles...You are a natural!! Congratulations
Anna you are amazingly talented! This is yet another lovely addition in making your chateau into a beautiful welcoming home!
I live in Portugal and your tiles honour the traditional tiles that you can see in old buildings and murals here. The cobalt and white combination is an absolute classic. What a magnificent labour of love, Ana!
How special that you designed and helped hand make those tiles! I should have expected that from you but I didn’t! I love the fact that it’s a classic color and look and will never go out of style.
Loved that you designed your own tiles and not surprised you took on the project yourself Anna
Beautiful tiles design and color… let’s pray Philip’s measurements are spot on correct?
Most hand made things as you well know have variations of color intensity, but that is the beauty and intrigue of the design
Well done!
Ana, the tiles are absolutely gorgeous… you have done a marvelous job! I am so excited to see them installed…almost as if it was my own kitchen. And tell Phil that if he didn’t measure properly that I might fly out there to give him a piece of my mind…ha ha ha
Wow......... You both are so creative and hardworking and deserve to own a chateau. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Anna, I myself ,did our Kitchen and fireplace tiles. It makes your home yours. The artistic talent should be shown in all facets. Bravo GF! 💪🏼💝
How fun and of course you have to make your own tiles! As someone who has Dutch heritage I love that you were inspired by those designs. That little town is stunning too. Painting 200 tiles must have taken ages! Oh wow 3 weeks. You must be so happy with them though.
Oh dear!
We are renovating OUR kitchen and everything we ordered is arriving out of order. - the cabinets, the new kitchen window, the stove vent, the refrigerator and dish washer...
The thing we need NOW is the counter tops, but they won't arrive for two weeks. The thing we need last - the kitchen tiles - have arrived FIRST and are sitting, waiting in our barn.
Why can't these things be SIMPLE?!
Thanks for sharing YOUR renovation!
❤
Anna, your talents abound. Absolutely gorgeous. What a great way to leave your mark for generations to come.
So pretty! Handmade is always the best and I bet you will smile every time you see them. Dare I say, it was nice to see this kinder, gentler side of Phillip.
Oh my goodness Anna, what a beautiful job, you are an incredible artist. I would love to do that myself!❤️💜💖
The amount of love and detail you've put in this house, my god
Anna and Phillip you are an amazing team! Both of you have so many talents that work together to make a beautiful Château. I enjoy watching your videos
Woww Anna just amazing! Your craftsmanship and artistry throughout the house is so mesmerizing. Being that I used to work in the fashion industry I’ve seen so many talented artists but even then I don’t feel like they have the sheer amount of talent that you do. I am truly inspired ❤️. Much love from Los Angeles
I see a whole cottage industry for you to design and market!
Anna you are so talented. The tiles are beautiful! They will add a very special touch to your kitchen when finished. I can’t wait !
So Much Talent, in one small body! 😍 You Anna Are Amazing!🏆💖
The tiles are truly lovely can’t wait to see them in situ and the kitchen finished thank you for sharing x
Wow wow wow, Anna you’re remarkable. I love seeing you bring your creative visions to life. On that note the talents each of you have, make your Chanel one of my favourites to watch because it’s also filmed and produced so cleverly and enchantingly by your beloved husband (who lives on despite the chanel subtitle…😊). I think you two could film the installation and unfurling of a toilet roll and it’s holder and we’d still all be glued to the screen! Thanks for the inspiration and entertainment.
😂😂🎉
Thank you for sharing the process of painting your kitchen
tiles, you are inspiring many of us
to give it a try. They are beautiful!!
Hello David! I enjoyed watching the tiles being created. They are beautiful! Love from Vermont
Love it! Personal touches are so important. Artists need to put their mark in and on their home. Truly unique and special. I am so impressed by your work. 👍🏻👍🏻
I love the tiles so much!! Wow what patience you have Anna.
Simply beautiful. I love that a bit of your energy went into each and every one of those tiles. The tile in your kitchen is now, and forever will be, priceless.
Omgosh, those tiles are beautiful, how fun to create your own...
Anna, watching you create all these beautiful one of a kind pieces of art for your home is so inspiring!! I constantly find myself making lists of things I want to do to make my future forever home so personal and lovely
Hello dear how are you doing?
I have been learning French in my spare time, and it is very fun to slowly start understanding pieces of the spoken language instead of having to rely on subtitles alone! It is beautiful to see the sheer dedication and love y'all are putting into this renovation. Your channel has giving me huge interest in France and all the things about it! I am from Texas, so it is very different, and I hope to one day get to see the beauty in person!
I, as a ceramic artist who specialized in glaze formulation in school, couldn't help but get a chuckle out of Philip's "you don't know how it's going to turn out." comment. It's true that a lot of things can change how a glaze will turn out after the firing process, but there's a big difference between glazes that are unpredictable and the very stable, consistent glazes that will very nearly always give you an expected outcome. The glazes being used by Anna and David were a White Enamel/Liner glaze and a transparent Cobalt Blue glaze. Every iteration of those types of glazes are pretty much the most stable and predictable you can possibly get, especially when firing in a modern electric kiln.
Anna, you did an absolutely beautiful job on the blue tiles they will look so fantastic in your new kitchen renovation. Philip must me so proud of you and your artistic skills. God Bless, Kathy 🇺🇸 😊
You are both so incredibly talented! Wow, Anna - you never cease to amaze me. Bravo, My fingers are crossed for a flawless installation. (Let’s hope Phillip measured correctly 🙄) Thank you once again for making Sundays even better.
Bravo Anna Just gorgeous. Nailed the color and the pattern is beautiful. Love watching your talent come to life. It is going to be spectacular.
Love from Canada.
Amazing idea! They turned out so beautifully and I cant wait to see them installed. I love how you all are really trying to take care in your selections and customizations.
Great choice Anna, that's definitely what an artist does (and should do!!) Making your own tiles was the correct move .
