So the surprise on the landing needs electricity… my guess is a lighted curiosity cabinet filled with items you found during renovation. History of the place and previous owners.
Tracy. I so admire and respect you. You are truly "la grande matriarche de la famille." Seeing you willing to do all the "grunt work" to bring your family's dream alive while looking beautifully radiant and focused on whatever you are doing. It shows your strength as a mother, grandmother and dedicated woman. I pray God continue to bless you as you continue to be an inspiration to many of us. Thank you. ❤😊
It’s amazing to think the age of the landings and stairs and how much foot traffic walked them all those years......and after a good sand and restrain - they are amazing!!!😊
I'm guessing it's a lighted display cabinet for all of your Titanic memorabilia. My other choices were a picture window, a photo booth, a pay phone, or a tardis. JK I'm sure whatever it is will be fantastic. I bet Tracy can hardly wait to get back to gilding. She does such an amazing job at whatever she undertakes. What a champion. You've all done such monumental work for the last few years. You are really awe-inspiring. The level of transformation at and around the Château would be unbelievable if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Kudos again to Brad for a job well done. It transforms the rooms. Ash, the wood on the stairs came to life when you added the wax. Bon courage! ❤ from TX!
Still at only 194K subscribers. I keep checking on it. I know that with more subscribes the team can earn a little more financially to put towards repairs. So i am keeping my fingers crossed in hope for 200K subscribers. The floors all look beutiful . Gilboys is certainly an excellent product. Great work team ♥️👏
Tip from my old flooring contractor re: varnishing/waxing stairs was to do 2 passes of alternate treads, so you could still use them. Trickier on the landing to your apartment but you could do, say, 3-4 boards horizontally at a time so you can step over them.
THE STAIRS are so beautiful. The rooms you have renovated are so beatiful and classically redone. That being said, I am just a middle-class Texan, so the work on the floors, really impresses me. I can't wait to see the staircase finished. Will you also do over the paneling as well? The woodwork in the chateau is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Your hard work really shines in all you do. I really like the fact that you do it all first class and never disappoint. Good work guys. Hey Patrick 😊
I’ve been watching your channel for several years now and I have to say that one of the reasons I enjoy it so much is the teamwork of Tracy, Ash, and Terry. You guys work so hard and yet in such concert. The floors are gorgeous.
It is looking awesome. The transformation of the whole chateau is beautiful. Here in the USA they make a longer handle to use on the brush roller. It sure would make it easier for Tracy's back. Even when applying paint on the walls and possibly the ceiling.
I noticed in their work supply area I seem to recall there exists a big supply of different sized handles, brushes....You've added a good suggestion there..🎉
A standard wind-on broom or mop handle will do the trick on a roller. Makes painting so much easier. I too don't understand why so many TH-camrs paint walls holding just the roller - so much harder 😉
The landing outside your apartment is showing up the finish. So pretty.... You and Tracy are experts now. Beautiful work. Both are so patient. Terry, you are fortunate to have Mom and Ash to make your dreams come true.
oh my the floors were very thirsty after so very many yrs..the are gorgeous! Well done family! Love watching all the progress it so much fun on this end..Blessings!
Replay crew here just want to say how beautiful the floors and stairs are well done Tracy and Ash and the music is so perfect so soothing great job Terry 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm imagining an elaborate piece of furniture that includes shelving to display objets d'art, lovely antique books, etc. Knowing Terry's over-the-top taste for decorating, I likely can't even envision how spectacular it will probably be!
I imagine that if the chateau could talk she would be shouting for joy at the exquisite work that is taking place inside (and outside too!!) in the 401 suite and the upper part of the stairs. They all look nearly brand new! Just nearly!! Keep up the good work, folks!
Beautifully restored floors so transform a living space and this is exactly what you have done with your original floors. The chateau is looking spectacular.
It’s amazing how the floors being done is such a significant step in your progress of the restoration. You are on the home run to furnishing the rooms and ticking off so many of the to do list! Well done.
The paneled staircase and landings have always been my favorite part of the chateau interior, and now it will look just as it should - subtly polished perfection!!❤️
Ash it’s beautiful. Can you and Terry believe you actually live in such a wonderful place. Tracy and Jonathan have an absolutely fantastic home too. You must all be so proud ❤👍🏴
I realize the focus if the floors, but the spindles are amazing in their simplicity, that octagonal shape, love it. That place is just looking incredible in general.
Ash, Everthing is looking Amazing!❤ You have a gift when you present these vlogs! Your explanations & excitement is infectious! Sincerity resonates in your message & we are drawn in! Did you have training or is this a natural gift? Great job, either way!❤❤
Lovely work on waxing the floors. 3 coats.. Lots of work but the rewards seem well worth the effort. Curious? Why are those bags taped to the banisters in the stairwell? From where this place was when you first bought it to the now is just an amazing transformation. That your family saw the potential and went for it speaks to your character and dedication to a cause. Keep up the wonderful work and enjoy the benefits of a lovely place to live and work for many years ahead.
Amazing, can hear the stairs sighing in relief and thanking you for the attention. All of you... your versatility is a hidden asset that you reveal with each new stage of your renovations. Bravo ❤
Just FREAKING gorgeous my firiends!!!!! Can hear you loud and clear Ash. A water feature??? A lighted curio cabinet to show off some lovely history??? Those are my two guesses.
While the work and progress are phenomenal and will look spectacular when done, I suddenly have a concern for Terry and Ash. Do you have a fire escape that would allow you to get out in the event you couldn't use the lovely staircase? You mentioned having to stay in the cottage while the stairs and landing dry which suggests you would have only one way out in the event of a tragedy. Perhaps the L.A. area fires in the U.S. have me hyper-attuned to safety issues and I'm sorry. Just want to make sure that you guys are safe! On a happier note, your progress is beyond beautiful!
The stairs are gorgeous. Cant wait to see the paneling done next to it. But I can’t help wondering what goodies Terry’s sourcing for the rooms. I’m so excited to see how he dresses them. Not too long now!
You guys must be absolutely exhausted. That’s a lot of crawling, bending, standing, reaching, wrist movements, shoulders reaching. Hours and hours. Looks amazing.
Thank you so much for using our hard wax oil ☺ It looks fantastic! We really appreciate you sharing your experience with it. I hope it continues to perform well for you. 😊 It's very much appreciated. Kindest regards Simon Gilboy.
What's going at the top of the stairs? Either a giant tapestry with downlighting, or a giant display cabinet with glass shelving and interior lighting. (although I'd rather spend your money on a tapestry because cabinets rattle terribly when you walk by them).
I've been waiting with baited breath to see how the stairs would come up. OMG!!!..... ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! The staircase is certainly the centrepiece of the chateau in all its glory. ❤❤❤❤❤
So the surprise on the landing needs electricity… my guess is a lighted curiosity cabinet filled with items you found during renovation. History of the place and previous owners.
After watching the transformation of the Chateau in the last four years, the landing and staircase is STUNNING!!! LOVE IT!!! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!😊
tracey is a Saint! What a woman!!😍💫
I just love timber flooring the Chateau floor in the blue room, the stairs, landing look gorgeous. Well done Tracey and Ash ❤
The chateau gets more beautiful in every video!❤❤❤❤❤😊😊

So true! 🥰
Tracy, you should put a handle extension into your paint roller. That way you can stand and fill on the Gilroys rather than be on your knees ❤
I cannot praise you enough for the beauty you are restoring in this Grand Castle.❤
Oooh, I hope you put a lighted glass-doored display case at the top of the stairs!
I live this part. Wooden flooring is amazing
I'm guessing it's a lighted display cabinet for all of your Titanic memorabilia.
My other choices were a picture window, a photo booth, a pay phone, or a tardis. JK
I'm sure whatever it is will be fantastic.

The ‘old lady’s’ glow up is superb, all that incredibly hard work is paying off, special shout out to Gilboys, amazing product. 🙏🏻🇬🇧
It's awesome every part of the chateau is coming back to life❤

Love the wood floors! They look amazing. So happy you are restoring the wood.

W O W!!! What a difference!!!
Ash and Tracey, you did a great job!

What I want to know ….who makes supper ? You are always working in and on the Chateau !
Replay crew here just want to say how beautiful the floors and stairs are well done Tracy and Ash and the music is so perfect so soothing great job Terry 👏👏👏👏👏👏
On the landing.........it could be a17th century painting with lightfixture
or a big model of a steamboat 😃 with interior illumination
I'm imagining an elaborate piece of furniture that includes shelving to display objets d'art, lovely antique books, etc. Knowing Terry's over-the-top taste for decorating, I likely can't even envision how spectacular it will probably be!
The stairs WOW what a transformation. Great job Ash. Tracey’s floors look beautiful too. What a back and knee breaking job. Whew.
I imagine that if the chateau could talk she would be shouting for joy at the exquisite work that is taking place inside (and outside too!!) in the 401 suite and the upper part of the stairs. They all look nearly brand new! Just nearly!! Keep up the good work, folks!
Magnificent work. The stairs are truly beautiful and I had my doubts in the beginning! Glad I was wrong!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely stunning! The stairs are amazing! You have all worked so hard so well done! Xx
What a pleasure it must be to see and walk on this every day!
That floor looks amazing
Beautifully restored floors so transform a living space and this is exactly what you have done with your original floors. The chateau is looking spectacular.
A family portrait! 👍😁
The floors look amazing. You all do such a wonderful job.
WOW, WOW, WOW! The floors and stairs! ❤
Watching those floors get done is never boring. What an improvement!❤

Just beautiful! When everything in the tower is completed it will just shine! I did want to ask though...what is in the bags hanging on the railing???
My curiosity is killing me😂 I keep seeing them!
Me too!
That makes 4 of us!
@@joyreynolds91855 😂
Ash, I’m almost more impressed by the stairs! They look fabulous.
I am just amazed at how much you all get done and how absolutely beautiful it’s all turns out!!❤
Oh I hope it’s the big mirror you showed from the brocante 🤞 everything looks amazing 🎉
The wood looks so happy sucking it all in and coming to life again!
The floors are gorgeous! Well done!
Can't believe the parquet floor. The valleys look a foot deep. Absolutely beautiful. How wonderful that you were able to save that flooring.
The floors are looking amazing ❤
What are baggies on stairs for? Must have missed that..
I was going to ask the same thing. 😊
@@cathyhutchinson2246me too
@@cathyhutchinson2246 Ditto
@@themainer1267I have the same question.
I think it’s the sawdust they mix with the paint stuff?
Comme c 'est beau , vous avez fait un travail extraordinaire , ce château finit sera une merveille grâce à votre travail 👏

I was wondering the same thing about the banisters. I'm wondering if they mark the ones that he wants to add gold details to.
Hmm, I'd say a mirror with tremeau and sconces on either side.
The beautiful ornate mirror that Terry loved.
Absolutely magnificent! Love Tracy. Followers mother
Could the surprise be that beautiful wooden piece you found previously at the brocante? The floors are amazing!❤
Do you have a collection of your play list? I absolutely love your music choices!!!
The floors and stairs are looking stunning!
Watching you from The Great State of Michigan USA
The finish on the floors is stunning!! Can’t wait to see what will go into the hall space!!!! 🎉🎉
Amazing, can hear the stairs sighing in relief and thanking you for the attention. All of you... your versatility is a hidden asset that you reveal with each new stage of your renovations. Bravo ❤
I think the suprize will be a lit upl Lalacelle sign . all the woodwork is looking fabulous xx
Have you thought of doing doggy t shirts with "Stay calm and crack on"? I'd buy one.
Love the stairs and bedroom floors.
I’d buy one!!
Split screen..fancy.😊Those floors are scrumptious
Wow watching you walk up those stairs Ash made me realize there are more than I was thinking. How many stairs are there? Its all looking so beautiful!
I think a big beautiful mirror with lights on both sides. Can’t wait to see it🥰
A beautiful wooden parquet makes things complete. I don't have a clue what you will add to that space but I trust you it will be fitting. 🥰
I love the care and attention to detail you guys have paid to the flooring restoration, a huge job, beautiful ❤
Ein wahr gewordener Traum, Ross und ich lieben euch ❤❤, macht weiter so.
Bitte unterstützt diese tolle Paar mit einem 👍🏻
The staircase is beginning to show its true self. Will there be carpet runners on the stairs eventually?
Good question!
A runner would be very difficult to fit on a curved stairway like theirs. The only option is to fit each tread separately.
The grand staircase came out, absolutely stunning as well, as all of the other flooring restored to its natural beauty. Bravo.
Just FREAKING gorgeous my firiends!!!!! Can hear you loud and clear Ash. A water feature??? A lighted curio cabinet to show off some lovely history??? Those are my two guesses.
Gorgeous
Wonderful progress, Ash, Terry, and Tracy, you continue to improve and impress with each new video.
Wow the floors look amazing!!❤😊

What's going at the top of the stairs? Either a giant tapestry with downlighting, or a giant display cabinet with glass shelving and interior lighting. (although I'd rather spend your money on a tapestry because cabinets rattle terribly when you walk by them).

The stairs are stunning...you must be so pleased.
Very well done Ash and Mum. Suvh a long tidious job
Beautiful job
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful- I think you’re going to add some sort of a lighted curio cabinet.
