Your dad has saved you a couple of thousand dollars with all the work he has done. I had a couple of oak trees taken down and it cost me over $800.00. He sure is a hard worker. You Truly are blessed with your parents. 🇨🇦
So pleased that you have decided to keep those stunning cupboards and incorporate them into the design by adapting them. I think all your ideas are so appropriate for the room and the chateau setting. Anna your parents are incredible. Such energy!
Your parents are so wonderful-such hard workers-just amazing!! Can’t wait to see the kitchen take shape. I love it when your parents visit. You all are such fun. Hope John can rest up and enjoy the rest of their visit. Have a wonderful week.
I'm 69 years old...married 50. We've built seven houses/cabins. When it comes to counter tops I've learned a few things. You asked if wood would work. Most woods require upkeep. I prefer granite or quartz. This is THE counters in the U.S. I put hot pots on my granite countertops, and chop on top of them. Quartz is about the same. Popular right now is porcelain countertops. They weren't available for our last build. I'm not sure what you have available to you, but wood is questionable. You are my favorite chateau vlog.
Anna ... Your Mum & Dad are Super-Heros !!! 💕 Such great human beings ... I see where you get your work ethic from. I've been loving your vlog series for ages now & truly look forward to the next, each time ... What a team !!! 💞 🇨🇦
If you use wood as a work surface, try the butcher block technique of upended wood blocks, easier to scrape away any damage as they did with butcher blocks. There are some woods that are more food friendly like maple. You could also encastre a slab of marble into the worktop for pastry making. Maybe bind the worksurface with brass like a bistro and don't forget to round of the corners unless you want blue hips. Put a brass towel rail in two places. Just an idea xxx
We made beech cutting boards in my woodshop class. I say have Benoit look at that beech tree wood and see if it’d be suitable for a worktop table! Would want it kiln-dried, though maybe he has a place to do that?
John, you are a total star! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Please look after your back! Your beloved son in law, the influencer of note, the hilarious organiser, the brilliant husband and father, should be bowing in gratitude for all you do! 😂 you and Jenny are very appreciated. Another perfect vlog. Thank you Anna, for putting up with Philips antics….. and for making sure there’s NO orange In the kitchen. Your family is so precious. Much love to you all from Sydney, Oz! ❤️
Philipp, maybe you could train one of your daughters (since you seem into that) to handle all the correspondence and appointments required of your Internet celebrity. Enjoyed hearing more about the kitchen plans. The parents/in-laws team was awesome in dealing with the storm devastation. I think this vlog even showed more of the scope of the damage and the cleanup required than your original vlog after the storm.
Genug Holz, um den Winter über warm zu haben ;-) Holz heizt ja bekanntlich mermals: beim Scneiden, beim Hacken, beim Reintragen und im Feuer......... Möge das Euch bei der harten Arbeit trösten!
For 30 years I have had an 11 foot by 5 foot butcher block wooden island in my kitchen. There is a 15 inch circular sink for vegetable preparation and a 7 inch hole opposite the sink that drops down to a trash container (there is a different place for recycling). There is a separate area in the kitchen for cleanup - a large sink and a dishwasher on either side of that sink. It has worked wonderfully. Approximately every 10 years we give it a light sanding and rub with mineral oil. It is low maintenance and we have had no problems with the wood and water. I based my kitchen layout on the kitchen at the Brighton Pavilion. It has worked wonderfully for just my husband and I or for large groups and caterers. Love your program!!!!
I don’t know what they have in France, but you can have a beautiful butcher block countertop and you can treat with oils that are ok to cut and cook on. With your pop of orange. Do a hammered copper farmhouse sink, and you can even do copper drawer/door hardware. Along with a beautiful copper kitchen faucet.
I would recommend that you have pot filler faucet that is placed in the wall above the range (they are foldable). It eliminates the need for carrying filled, heavy pots filled with water.
Dads are SO much more biddable than husbands! You can always rely on mum and dad to pitch in when needed! We often don’t appreciate them as much as we should. Yours are wonderful.
My kitchen island has a wooden top made from teak planks. We just lightly sand and oil it every two years with food grade wood oil and 8 years down it is still good. The one thing I am very strict about is not cutting directly on the surface so we always use chopping boards and trivets for hot pots. I also don’t really use any harsh cleaning products - only wipe it with a damp microfiber cloth. Never regretted changing the original granite top for wood.
Anna’s got this. I’ve had to drive a 16 foot trailer with a truck for the first times. The hard part is backing up. I’ve gone done roads with no out. Yikes.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Jana. You are very right that we only have our loved ones for a while, and no idea how long that might be. Wring the most from every day.
that chipper made light worker of those branches!! It's fun to watch the time-lapse. I am glad that you and Anna have "decided" to go with a more country "chateau" look for the kitchen. Now colour....my vote is for a blue-grey theme, some darker grey to a lighter blue but with the same base. I've seen it done and it looks fabulous. If I get the chance, is how I am going to colour my kitchen. Anna's Dad is like the Energiser Bunny!!! He goes and goes!!
Marble is porous, so if red wine spills, I'm not sure you'd like it. There's gotta be another stone for pies that isn't marble, like quartz, which doesn't require sealing, and is heat scratch and stain resistant...and if you have enough cherry from your fallen trees, maybe use that for the butcher block, adding strips of other woods if not enough., like bamboo, or red oak, walnut, which you may have an abundance of on your property.
Hi, nice ideas but just want to clarify one thing.There’s a difference between quartz and quartzite. Quartz is a man-made material and it uses resin to bind chips of quartz and marble.The quartz is not heat resistant. The quartz top does get damaged if you put a hot pot on it due to the resin in it.Quartzite does not, as it is a natural material. It is a little expensive but it’s really beautiful. And it’s also good with stains. I prefer it over the man-made quartz. There is also a newish material that’s becoming popular that I just used on a residential project. ( I am an interior designer) It is porcelain slabs. Dekton Is one of the manufactures. The head company is Constantino and you can look on the website there.This company is in Europe and in the US. There are other manufacturers also such as Neolith. The material is absolutely beautiful, comes in a range of patterns and colors and because it’s porcelain, it is impervious to heat, stains, scratches, and can be placed outdoors where quartz cannot(due to the sun turning the resin yellow sometimes) Hope this helps!
Color wise, if the orange is actually copper, then what about looking at the variations of verdigris that naturally complement it? That can be for flooring, bench, paint but in different tones and shades. And/or if you’re still using Anna’s grandmother’s painting, pull the colors directly from that.
I was thinking along the same lines. The floor was inspiring me, as was the copper pots. I think terra cotta would work, especially with a chateau kitchen. And the added bonus is it works with loads of other coloyrs, blues, yellows, greens, etc..
So nice your parents are visiting again. Love the design and how you are keeping and reusing the door. Can't wait to see the kitchen finished. lol, lol, love your organizational skills Phillip!!! lol Dad has done a lot of work out there ... lol, yes nice haircut. Yes, her Dad is so nice, yes the CHIPPER!!! lol, good job driving the tailor. That was a lot of tree mess!!! Dad did a great job and the Chipper is a great machine for your property. Anna, you are very much like your Mom, lovely person. All the best to you all.
Add some rice to a sock and tie the top. Put it in the microwave for maybe 30 seconds, depends on your microwave. Check to see, it should be heated. Then put it on your dads back. Poor chap. If you want to be fancy, sprinkle some spice in, cinnamon or lavender. I sew packs for gifts, I make strips like short scarves and baffle them so the rice does not shift to one end. They work great and drape beautifully over shoulders, legs, etc., they can be made with lovely fabrics and sold if you have a gift shop or include them in your rooms in cooler months.
Hello to Mom & Dad!!! Phillipp's sketches are works of art!! Anna's explanations make it all very interesting and clear. I really like Philipp's telling us how he "Does It All"!! The"Urgent to do heap" is a great idea. The "Archive" is brilliant!! This level of efficiency is remarkable!!! It explains how he can do it all with only "a little help" from Anna. Dad's a wiz with the chainsaw!! Dad deserves the tea and chocolate biscuits!! Ella is adorable and smart.If you climb into a shredder you will "Get all Little". Good sound effects when Anna pulls up in the car! Love seeing Mom & Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving from Vermont
Love the kitchen restoration/adaptation ideas! For the island countertop, I think if you install a sink there, a stone counter might be the better choice. You can always place an extra large cutting board on top of the stone surface (for the chopping of vegetables, etc). Little injections of wood, plus the kitchen table, plus those gorgeous copper pots and pans will give you all the warmth the room needs. Just my two cents. :)
I think this was one one my most favorite yet! Always a laugh out loud from Philip. I just adore your entire family! This week there were so many components , and it was truly entertaining! Thank you Anna and Philip and kudos to Anna’s Dad!
You asked about worktops and recommendations. If you want wood, I have wooden worktops. Get a hardwood, I bought solid oak from IKEA, they were thick and of excellent quality, they come untreated. If you want an extra thick look double it up and clamp and glue them together. They are not as thick as the original ones I fitted in my beach house in the UK. I use Osmo oil, they do many wood products and are excellent. Osmo worktop oil is quick to use and re coating is simple.... There wood stain is very good for window shutters!! If you want hard warring get granite, or quartz... Don't use marble as it is porous and a pain to look after... Keep up the good work!
You can really tell that your youngest daughter is her grandfathers as she has some of his features. Both of your daughters are so adorable and such great helpers!!!💖💝💖
Keep the girls away from the shredder/ chipper. They truly can learn when they're older. Too many accidents happen to limbs. Nice paint job in the bathroom 😁 The grounds of the Chateau are so beautiful and so colorful in the autumn. Creative blower cam Phil
I'm no Health and Safety officianado but I get quite concerned when I see so many 'chateau' folk not taking even basic sensible precautions when doing major DIY work. That being the case, it was so good to see your dad, and Philip, wearing appropriate safety clothing and equipment. What a worker your dad is! Sounded like he needed a good old soak in a Radox bath to ease his back after all his hard efforts. The kitchen ideas sound much more in keeping with the original chateau style, but allowing for modern conveniences. Your final choice of colour will be interesting, but I think you are right to avoid orange. :-) It will be interesting to see the full results once it is completed.
You are such a wonderful family - the beauty and sanity of your life is a godsend for those of us trapped in Victoria Australia. Thankyou for bringing balance and loveliness - even as you deal with a defiant shredder!
I have a feeling that Anna will choose green anyway🤣. It’s also my favourite colour as it’s so diverse. Many greens marry well with copper accessories so that’s the orange compromise taken care of too. Would look magnificent.
Your parents are amazing, Anna! My back was hurting just watching your Dad. We did so much of that after Hurricane Hugo, every time I hear a chain saw I still think of that. Our neighborhood is heavily wooded, so this time of year we are piling as many leaves as we can into our compost bins. What lovely mulch you have there! Hard work….they say busy hands are happy hands! Smiles to you all!
I love Anna’s mom and dad! Such great people. You are so fortunate to have an amazing family. Philipp, I know you love your wood chipper but don’t show your little girl how to turn it on, gives me a heart attack!! I know you were kidding around and my goodness she is just the cutest child. The sound affect when Anna stopped the car with the trailer was hilarious! Love your humor. The kitchen is going to be awesome. Another great vlog! 💕
Anna your parents are amazing. Their work ethic is brilliant. Phillip is funny as usual. For the kitchen bamboo or maple are good choices. Quartz is a good countertop that’s easy to clean and maintain. Keeping as much of the original features is a great idea. Can’t wait to see it finished. Thanks for sharing.😍😘
In your busy season, you will be cooking for many people, it might save you a little time to put a small sink directly beside the stovetop to strain out all the pots you will inevitably be cooking which would allow your central island for plating meals. And if you install a pot-filler tap on the wall above the cooktop you can fill them without having to lift large, heavy pots across walking spaces... which will save your back.
You should definitely think of a pot filler above your range cooker. And also consider installing a faucet that has boiling hot water, can cool water and even make it sparkling etc. (There is one from quooker and grohe I think)
Anna's Dad is such an impressive worker !! So lovely to see the parents again! And Philip's "filing system" - hilarious! ;-) But, hey, at least he looks distinguished!
Love the open glass windows on cabinet because things will be kept clean there. You can show off your china and special items. The kitchen looks great and love the ideas.
Love the plan to keep the kitchen in the style of a chateau. I’m sure wood was a standard back in the day. However, I have had a real oak center island hand crafted by an old-school woodworker. It was absolutely beautiful but a royal pain to maintain. I am a relatively neat, non destructive person. I could not be careful enough to maintain the butcher block. Finally about 5 years ago I changed it to LG quartz that looks like Carrara marble. It is beautiful and a dream to use. Used a double thickness with combination of 2 edges stacked. Looks old world with none of the trouble.
So enjoy watching your dreams become realities!! I too know the joy of having my parents, who live in the USA, come for a visit. It Is amazing how much we get done working together! Our little girls so enjoy having their grandparents close by. Blessings from El Salvador!
Thank heaven for helping parents it means the world! Love the traditional kitchen plans it will be lovely and timeless. Please consider a second dishwasher, maybe one a high speed commercial under counter for dishes, glasses and cutlery. As the world opens up people will flock in droves to stay and meet with you. Initial financial output maybe higher than a normal one but it saves so much time! Thanks for the tip on Skillshare. I want to hone my drawing skills. Over the years I had several courses which were very frustrating. The instructors were either teaching too simplistic minding more about their income from less talented people which was frustrating, or condescending which was crushing. Good luck with all! Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne, besinnliche Adventszeit 🎄
just discovered this channel, binging all the videos currently. paused the video to say that philip is so hilarious! Finding this channel was my win for the day
I absolutely LOVE the new kitchen! I would suggest a quartz countertop, in a marble look, on the island! If possible, with a carved edge, like you see on antique furniture with marble tops, so it really looks like an old piece of marble. It is great for baking and cooking, easy to maintain, and it would keep the space light. And I would suggest a white and blue, perhaps a duck egg blue!! 😍
Love the humour! I wouldn't put the washing up sink under overhead cabinets, I think it is nice to have the sink so you can look out at the room or looking out the windows.
The best advice I got when I was renovating an old apartment with historic features - you don't have to keep everything just because it's old and original to the apartment. Not everyone back then had a great taste and a good idea how to plan a house for it to be functional. It's the same now, I bet you've seen some grand modern kitchens/rooms that are just impractical, same as it was years ago:) Do what feels right, ask yourself - if I could plan it all, ignoring what is already here, what would I do - and then do it :) Future generations will thank you for it.
Love the sound of the new kitchen esp with the old doors kept - I’ve had two lots of wooden worktops if you don’t keep up with maintenance they go awful just replaced mine with a granite much easier …. Your parents are so like mine spent every weekend here between 2000 and 2015 before we sadly lost dad but lots of great memories memories

Anna, your parents are amazing! Coming over to help you after the storm. Also I love your dad’s sense of humour.
They are!
Your father reminds me of my father when we had a large storm here in Missouri. He drove from Michigan to help. He was a jewel. Praise your father!
I am in Mid-Missouri myself. I am done with destructive storms, $6,000 later in tree & debris removal. Mother Nature, hear my cry.
I am certain the entire audience will join me in giving a very
warm round of applause to Anna's parent.

Great ideas! I love my pastry stone area. A BIG yes on rounded corners.
My first thought was maple, too. It's worked for us. Marble inset and brass rails are also great ideas!
Such good ideas.
if your state kitchean approved please look into the requirements. so you dont have to redo. depends if your getting licenses etc.

You asked about worktops and recommendations. If you want wood, I have wooden worktops. Get a hardwood, I bought solid oak from IKEA, they were thick and of excellent quality, they come untreated. If you want an extra thick look double it up and clamp and glue them together. They are not as thick as the original ones I fitted in my beach house in the UK. I use Osmo oil, they do many wood products and are excellent. Osmo worktop oil is quick to use and re coating is simple.... There wood stain is very good for window shutters!! If you want hard warring get granite, or quartz... Don't use marble as it is porous and a pain to look after... Keep up the good work!
You can really tell that your youngest daughter is her grandfathers as she has some of his features. Both of your daughters are so adorable and such great helpers!!!💖💝💖
Le parc du château paraît beaucoup plus grand maintenant que la nature a fait son travail !
Loved the wood chipper music!!!
Keep the girls away from the shredder/ chipper. They truly can learn when they're older. Too many accidents happen to limbs. Nice paint job in the bathroom 😁 The grounds of the Chateau are so beautiful and so colorful in the autumn. Creative blower cam Phil
How beautiful the trees are around the Chateau.
I'm no Health and Safety officianado but I get quite concerned when I see so many 'chateau' folk not taking even basic sensible precautions when doing major DIY work. That being the case, it was so good to see your dad, and Philip, wearing appropriate safety clothing and equipment. What a worker your dad is! Sounded like he needed a good old soak in a Radox bath to ease his back after all his hard efforts.
The kitchen ideas sound much more in keeping with the original chateau style, but allowing for modern conveniences. Your final choice of colour will be interesting, but I think you are right to avoid orange. :-)
It will be interesting to see the full results once it is completed.
Thank you, so nice to here your parents liked it!!
We all need our mummy and daddy to help now and again ... they are so amazing . Well done for coming over. Yay such a great job.
Phillip your filing system is first class, should be adopted in more homes .....thank goodness for the wood mulcher.
You are such a wonderful family - the beauty and sanity of your life is a godsend for those of us trapped in Victoria Australia. Thankyou for bringing balance and loveliness - even as you deal with a defiant shredder!
Thank you so much!
Anna, you are so blessed…what beautiful, lovely, kind parents ❤️
What a great Mum and Dad x
Love the shredding music!
Thank God Anna Family is with you. Such big help.
I think GREEN would make a great kitchen colour..........keep up the great work guys
I think so too!
I have a feeling that Anna will choose green anyway🤣. It’s also my favourite colour as it’s so diverse. Many greens marry well with copper accessories so that’s the orange compromise taken care of too. Would look magnificent.
Your parents are amazing, Anna! My back was hurting just watching your Dad. We did so much of that after Hurricane Hugo, every time I hear a chain saw I still think of that. Our neighborhood is heavily wooded, so this time of year we are piling as many leaves as we can into our compost bins. What lovely mulch you have there! Hard work….they say busy hands are happy hands! Smiles to you all!
Thank you so much!
I love Anna’s mom and dad! Such great people. You are so fortunate to have an amazing family. Philipp, I know you love your wood chipper but don’t show your little girl how to turn it on, gives me a heart attack!! I know you were kidding around and my goodness she is just the cutest child. The sound affect when Anna stopped the car with the trailer was hilarious! Love your humor. The kitchen is going to be awesome. Another great vlog! 💕
Anna your parents are amazing. Their work ethic is brilliant. Phillip is funny as usual. For the kitchen bamboo or maple are good choices. Quartz is a good countertop that’s easy to clean and maintain. Keeping as much of the original features is a great idea. Can’t wait to see it finished. Thanks for sharing.😍😘
Glad to have the kitchen update. And hugs to your parents, Anna. They are true team members for this chateau renovation. Cheers, Anna’s parents!!
Wonderful to see Anna’s Mum and Dad again. What a job there is still to do. I wish I could be there to help. Sending you good vibrations. Keep safe!!
In your busy season, you will be cooking for many people, it might save you a little time to put a small sink directly beside the stovetop to strain out all the pots you will inevitably be cooking which would allow your central island for plating meals. And if you install a pot-filler tap on the wall above the cooktop you can fill them without having to lift large, heavy pots across walking spaces... which will save your back.
You should definitely think of a pot filler above your range cooker. And also consider installing a faucet that has boiling hot water, can cool water and even make it sparkling etc. (There is one from quooker and grohe I think)
That is a great idea and a must!
The boiling water and chilled water tap is great for cuppas and a cold drink! And handy with guests and saves on fridge opening!
Anna's Dad is such an impressive worker !! So lovely to see the parents again! And Philip's "filing system" - hilarious! ;-) But, hey, at least he looks distinguished!
Love the open glass windows on cabinet because things will be kept clean there. You can show off your china and special items. The kitchen looks great and love the ideas.
Love the plan to keep the kitchen in the style of a chateau. I’m sure wood was a standard back in the day. However, I have had a real oak center island hand crafted by an old-school woodworker. It was absolutely beautiful but a royal pain to maintain. I am a relatively neat, non destructive person. I could not be careful enough to maintain the butcher block. Finally about 5 years ago I changed it to LG quartz that looks like Carrara marble. It is beautiful and a dream to use. Used a double thickness with combination of 2 edges stacked. Looks old world with none of the trouble.
Thanks for the tip!
and will still be having a dining table in wood.
So enjoy watching your dreams become realities!! I too know the joy of having my parents, who live in the USA, come for a visit. It Is amazing how much we get done working together! Our little girls so enjoy having their grandparents close by. Blessings from El Salvador!
Thank heaven for helping parents it means the world! Love the traditional kitchen plans it will be lovely and timeless. Please consider a second dishwasher, maybe one a high speed commercial under counter for dishes, glasses and cutlery. As the world opens up people will flock in droves to stay and meet with you. Initial financial output maybe higher than a normal one but it saves so much time! Thanks for the tip on Skillshare. I want to hone my drawing skills. Over the years I had several courses which were very frustrating. The instructors were either teaching too simplistic minding more about their income from less talented people which was frustrating, or condescending which was crushing. Good luck with all! Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne, besinnliche Adventszeit 🎄
I have had 2 sinks in a kitchen and it was great. A prep sink and a washing sink. I would choose that every time
just discovered this channel, binging all the videos currently. paused the video to say that philip is so hilarious! Finding this channel was my win for the day
I absolutely LOVE the new kitchen! I would suggest a quartz countertop, in a marble look, on the island! If possible, with a carved edge, like you see on antique furniture with marble tops, so it really looks like an old piece of marble. It is great for baking and cooking, easy to maintain, and it would keep the space light. And I would suggest a white and blue, perhaps a duck egg blue!! 😍
Thanks for the tips!
Great idea and I love the blue color too!
Marble is kind of high maintenance don’t you think? It stains and all. It requires upkeep for sure. But I think it may be better than wood upkeep.
@@MA-zg2pz Quartz, in a marble look 🙂 Quartz is very easy in upkeep.
Never piss Anna off , her dad wields that chainsaw like a master. With that chipper, you’d never be found..Fargo style .
Love the humour! I wouldn't put the washing up sink under overhead cabinets, I think it is nice to have the sink so you can look out at the room or looking out the windows.
The best advice I got when I was renovating an old apartment with historic features - you don't have to keep everything just because it's old and original to the apartment. Not everyone back then had a great taste and a good idea how to plan a house for it to be functional. It's the same now, I bet you've seen some grand modern kitchens/rooms that are just impractical, same as it was years ago:) Do what feels right, ask yourself - if I could plan it all, ignoring what is already here, what would I do - and then do it :) Future generations will thank you for it.
These are my favourite videos!! And I really appreciate Phillip’s wonderful, dry sense of humour🤣😂
Phillip, happy wife, happy wife. No orange, no discussion.
Love the sound of the new kitchen esp with the old doors kept - I’ve had two lots of wooden worktops if you don’t keep up with maintenance they go awful just replaced mine with a granite much easier …. Your parents are so like mine spent every weekend here between 2000 and 2015 before we sadly lost dad but lots of great memories memories
