Oh my … viviva, have your sister, in the states go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and buy you and Simon some “Sliders”…you will not regret asking this favor. It makes moving furniture easy peezy!!! No scratches on the wooden floors … no pain for Simon either
What a lot of content. You really don't disappoint. First I must say, Baudelaire is the world's largest lap dog. It's so cute seeing you all toting him around the Château. Vivienne, I'm siding with Simon on the dining chairs. I love the chairs you settled on, but I would have chosen the safer, more predictable pairing. It's so great that you have multiple options. What a great quandary to have. I really love the tapestry above the buffet. It's so elegant and classically French. I would love to have that in my 1965 dining room if it would fit. You really have a house full of fabulous furniture. Every piece seems lovingly curated. You are truly blessed. I also love the bedrooms that you've redone. Have you finished the one with the faux paneling yet? I don't remember seeing the final reveal. That one promised to be spectacular when decorated. Bravo, Isabella! I admit a weakness for egg nog. That looked much better than the usual carton from the supermarket. Vivienne, the nibbles looked so inviting. I'm surprised the tree decorating got done first. I hope Simon is feeling better soon. I really wanted to see the artwork he purchased. He might not have a decorators eye, but I do think he has great taste in art. I love his photographs. I would like to know more about the secrets of porcelain. That didn't get much attention. I gather, Philipp enjoyed it. Thanks for all the enjoyment and entertainment you always provide. ❤ from TX!
It is so heart warming to see your beautiful furbaby walking with confidence once again, he certainly had a long journey to good health he had to complete. Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year to you all and your families🎅🤶🎄
I loved your tree & how fun decorating it with good friends like Stephanie and Philip! I move my furniture around too as the way we live changes. I like having 2 sets of chairs to make it feel different for the right occasion. It looks great!
I so love the friendship you have with Stephanie and Philip. What a wonderful makeover to the rooms as well. Merry Christmas and may Simon recover quickly.🎄
Everything turned out wonderful and what fun you all had with decorating the beautiful tree i was very surprised that the furniture didn't mark your beautiful floor's and a brilliant idea to move the marble using your settee😂 , fur baby look's well Merry Christmas to you all take care and see you next time 💕🌼🤗
What fun! I am amazed the floors can take that sort of traffic - are the floors maple or oak? No scratches. Regarding the opening between new dining room and library - don't put in a solid wall - it makes things so much more interesting with the ability to see and walk through (architect here). And have you thought of putting a table on the porch for really special meals?
Oh how wonderful!!! What a perfect time of year to rearrange things! Everyone’s house gets a little bit of an upheaval with Christmas decorating so this is the perfect time to make the changes. What a wonderful vlog! Thank you so much merry merry Christmas.❤🎄
A Piano (especially uprights), or Harp, should only be placed along walls that are interior contained. Walls that have exterior exposures really play havoc on tuning with more extreme temperature fluctuations. Windows (sunlight) should be avoided completely.
Thank you Vivienne, warms my heart to see everyone together. Loved the piece Simon and Isabella was moving. I started to buy a similar piece in the states, just beautiful!!!
Of all the Chateau vlogs I watch, I like your Chateau the best. Its just the right size and the way youre decorating it is homely and cosy with understated class! I hope youre channel grows , you work very hard at making the vlogs and on your website. Merry Christmas, may you know the love of Jesus in your lives. Blessings.❤🎉 Blesdings❤
I can't believe all that heavy furniture didn't scratch your beautiful floors. I hope you had little smooth sliders under them. Have you thought of pulling them on a rug or blanket? I LOVE the rug under your DR table. But I think I side with Simon on the choice of chairs. I think the contrast of the Chippendale chairs gave a more delightful contrast than the blue ones. Just my humble opinion. But Simon has a pretty good eye for details I've noticed. That's what makes him a good photographer. 😊
✨️ Vivienne, Simon, Isabella, and all the Château Love family, I am wishing you a Joyeux Noël. 🎄 ✨️🎄 Vivienne, thank you for bringing us a festive prelude to Christmas. Happy Advent. May you find blessings through every thought of Christmas Love. 🎄✨️
What a fun & festive vlog today! While recovering from surgery, I can't decorate for Christmas this year, so it was great watching your family do it. Simon helping the garden center attendants cracked me up! Merry Christmas to all of you 🎄
Going through renovations and all my Xmas decorations are stored away, way, way in the back of the storage unit. I miss decorating my Xmas trees and house. Thanks for sharing decorating your tree.
Merry Christmas friends! You all feel like family actually. You bring such joy and happiness to so many people. Of course I am excited to see your revamp! Should be spectacular.
That was a great way to move the marble. You have the most beautiful furniture, gorgeous individual pieces that all work together but please don't paint that side board, I think it looks beautiful as it is. The floors in your chateau are magnificent and compliment the furniture placed on them. Have a wonderful Xmas and an exciting new year, love from Australia 🇦🇺
The changing of rooms is a great idea loved both lots of Dining chairs around the table . Beautiful Christmas Tree and what a great Cheese gift so many to try . Thank u for the vlog ❤🧡💛🧡💚🧡 Merry Christmas 💙❤💜🧡💛💚 .
The Christmas tree is beautiful and what better than to share with friends. Loved the cheesy gift… Lovely video. I agree not to block if the room.. great swap around. I move furniture also but limited now as to the size of the room and positions limited. Merry Christmas to all of your families Vivianne, Simon, Isabella and friends. 🎄🎄🎄🥂🙏🏻🤗😘🎹🎹🎹
Troups! That is so funny. I know a lot of families with the same kind of troupes. Amazing how so few can move so much. Lovely, hard working family. Merry Christmas to each one, from Calgary, Alberta Canada 🇨🇦❤️🎄🎅🤶
Wow! Such musical chairs in switching the rooms around.....well done all! The tree is so lovely and fluffy and it just looks splendid with all the beautiful collection of ornaments from over the year! Fun to have S&P there to help decorate the tree as well! Gotta visit that antique shop and cheese shop on my next visit! All ready for Christmas! Isabella looks darling! Cheers!
Hello, Vivienne!! Wow, what a transformation of the rooms!! And the Christmas tree is beautiful!! Merry Christmas to you, Simon, Isabella, and of course, Baudelaire!! Chuck in Northern New England
Love Bo he was checking out the rooms and wondered what was going on? LOL And he turned around to look at camera as it he wondered what we all thought. Loves hugging Simon and could not get close enough and attention from Isabella. Such a loving dog and has grown so much, So nice Sally hasa website now. This was quite an unertaking to move all the futniture, and they were heavy and not easy on back or stomach. (Hope all goes well and Isabella gets to position of her dreams!) It all works as it shold always, in the right time. Everything really looked lovely changed around. it wa nice before, but think it wil work for you better for now. *May be awhile before it happens again, not sure but it takes much strength?
It’s called O’Cedar, a natural wax polish. It can be diluted but we use it directly at full concentration on our wood floors and terracotta tiles, too. 🏰💖
The pink pig Isabella has is from a TV show. Miss piggy is her name and there’s a frog and other animals that’s in the show are used to come on I think every week.
Tony InLosAngeles That was quite the house shuffle, I’m shocked Simon was on board he was so not moving heavy furniture after that dinning room buffet. I saw the white chairs won and the Chippendales got the boot. Really like the change you might try that settee in the entrance hall opposite the buffet. Christmas decorations look awesome wonderful job on the eggnog, I made the eggnog they serve at the White House very similar except for the alcohol it basically used all the brown boozes…😂I thought the paintings were fun if they were priced right I’d buy some. Simon has a more discerning taste.
Please, please tell me you put your live tree in water! It didn’t look like it from the stand you use. It’s a beautiful tree, but if you don’t put them in water, it’s no wonder the needles drop.
We had an artifical trerr er lovef but had to get a new one as it was shedding all the time. Not sure what it is and maybe it depnds on the time of material they use depedning on company th made it, but we now ahave another we love.. Vivienne I thought I was the only one looking for the perfect fat tree. LOL I always would refer to the need for my tree in same way since a child. It jsut made sense and knew it was what I needed and wanted and it always looked perfct. Do you remember the tinsel that people used to use on trees and the angel hair? It looked like spun glass around lit bulbs. But was hard on hands and my father used to put it on for us, So to me, it was so dreamy. No tinsel used with the angel hair, though, Not really needed.
Apparently there is no one else that is freaking out because they put the lights on the tree all wrong 😅 ohh dear. The lights should be put on like a corkscrew going top to bottom around and down in a circular motion.’ Then the top of the fresh tree should have been sniped/ cut about half off. (Driving me crazy) That Angel looks like an Avon Angel I have. The Angel Is Very pretty. The chariot ornament was lovely.😢 The thing I excel at is Christmas tree decorating .
You are absolutely right, top to bottom! 😂 I also go on each side of each branch. It really adds some dimension and depth. I really hate it when you get the lights on and then some of them go out! 🥴 Greetings from Lake Arrowhead. 💜🦝
The room shuffle is great as is the tree. Dining chairs, Chippendale match better. I agree those are more salon chairs since they do not have the table they should be with. Sorry love.

I love the Ingenuity of using the sofa to transport the marble👍
Oh my … viviva, have your sister, in the states go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and buy you and Simon some “Sliders”…you will not regret asking this favor. It makes moving furniture easy peezy!!! No scratches on the wooden floors … no pain for Simon either
Great idea!
Alternatively place folded cloths (i use washcloths) under each of the legs. Slides easily over hard surfaces.
Love the tree and all the fun you had decorating it!

And to you! Yes, he is the happiest little pooch ever…and running like he never had a problem. Best to you and yours! 🥰🏰💖
What a wonderful day and evening! It is lovely to see everyone so excited! Merry Christmas! ❤️🎄❤️

Beautiful. Love the room change over. Perfect, as usual! Wishing you all a blessed Christmas and an exciting 2025! Much love ❤
Beautiful Christmas tree ❤❤❤❤❤
your chateau is beautiful and your vlogs are unique
You are so kind. 🥰🏰💖
Who knew one could have a convertible chateau?! That was fun, & an innovative use of sofa. Love Isabella in the b&w, so lovely.
Merry Christmas from Nashville, Tennessee! Vivian, you are doing a great job! Have a wonderful New Year!
Another fun vlog. Love the new arrangement. The cheesy puns had me cracking up 😂😂😂 Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 🎊🎆 🎉😍😘

I love all of your ideas! 🥰🏰💖
That is one of the most beautifully shaped tree.
We thought so too! It was love at first sight. Every year I say “best tree ever”, but I think this one really is! 😁🏰💖
Oh how wonderful!!! What a perfect time of year to rearrange things! Everyone’s house gets a little bit of an upheaval with Christmas decorating so this is the perfect time to make the changes. What a wonderful vlog! Thank you so much merry merry Christmas.❤🎄
Your family of 3 work vary well together. Great loving joyful family. 😊
A Piano (especially uprights), or Harp, should only be placed along walls that are interior contained. Walls that have exterior exposures really play havoc on tuning with more extreme temperature fluctuations. Windows (sunlight) should be avoided completely.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄🎉 Much love from America!
Thank you Vivienne, warms my heart to see everyone together.

Yes, we have sliders. It’s how we so effortlessly glide the piano from room to room! 🏰💖
Chippendale Chairs....!👍
Haha! Simon loves you for saying this. We’ve been going back and forth, even today! 😂🏰💖
That buffet covered up the beautiful wainscoting
Don’t worry… that was just its temporary location. It’s been moved again since! 🏰💖
love your videos and chateau. Such nice people with beautiful taste. Wish you happy holidays and nothing but happiness.
Hide the pickel is a German game to hide on tree.
Vous nous faites rêver 🤩
Have a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 😊❤🎉😊🎉❤!
What a lovely family you are xx
Love the furniture placement

Feel better soon!!! I know what it’s like to have surgery right before Christmas. Be kind to yourself! Big hugs! 🏰💖
I really like the dark chairs with the dinning room table.
Your chateau is so elegant and beautifully decorated.
Beautiful ❤ Merry Christmas and Peace on Earth🕊🕊🕊 Thank you for sharing with us. Lovely video. 🥰

Merry Christmas, have a happy and safe holiday x

Great idea to move the buffet 👏
Merry Christmas.
The donkeys were thinking, as you rushed by, "those asses are always late"😝......(kindly jest).
Haha! You have no idea!! We call it “châtelaine time”! 😂😂😂
The Christmas tree is beautiful and what better than to share with friends.
Loved the cheesy gift…
Lovely video. I agree not to block if the room.. great swap around.
I move furniture also but limited now as to the size of the room and positions limited.

Dido put tree in water pronto if you want it to last through the holidays
Our dogs get concerned when we move the furniture around.
How to wrestle a Christmas tree 😂😂😂❤
Great video❤️🎄
If a harp string breaks in the night does anyone hear it, :)

In Michigan, we have only two seasons: winter and construction❄️🚧
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2025
I hope we get white Christmas,all snow is gone sunday morning
The pink pig Isabella has is from a TV show. Miss piggy is her name and there’s a frog and other animals that’s in the show are used to come on I think every week.
New dining room is wonderful, however, have you thought of refacing the fireplace? It seems very modern for what you’re looking for..

That was quite the house shuffle, I’m shocked Simon was on board he was so not moving heavy furniture after that dinning room buffet. I saw the white chairs won and the Chippendales got the boot.

The picture wasn't "that bad" but id prefer the baby cheesus
Oh Vivienne, don't buy that clown painting, it will only give you sleepless nights everytime you pass it before bedtime 😴 😂😂😂😂
Please, please tell me you put your live tree in water! It didn’t look like it from the stand you use. It’s a beautiful tree, but if you don’t put them in water, it’s no wonder the needles drop.
Yes, we did it the right way this year! 😉😁🏰💖
We had an artifical trerr er lovef but had to get a new one as it was shedding all the time.

Apparently there is no one else that is freaking out because they put the lights on the tree all wrong 😅 ohh dear.
The lights should be put on like a corkscrew going top to bottom around and down in a circular motion.’
Then the top of the fresh tree should have been sniped/ cut about half off. (Driving me crazy)
That Angel looks like an Avon Angel I have. The Angel
Is Very pretty.
The chariot ornament was lovely.😢
The thing I excel at is Christmas tree decorating .
You are absolutely right, top to bottom! 😂 I also go on each side of each branch. It really adds some dimension and depth. I really hate it when you get the lights on and then some of them go out! 🥴 Greetings from Lake Arrowhead. 💜🦝
I've been wondering, did I miss something? I thought Issabella was expecting.
And,please tell me you removed that big cobweb off the foot of the buffet. Sorry. I always see stuff like that.
The room shuffle is great as is the tree. Dining chairs, Chippendale match better. I agree those are more salon chairs since they do not have the table they should be with. Sorry love.
