MAKING CURTAINS FOR THE ANTIQUE BED CROWN!

- It's a busy time at Lalande as I create bed curtains out of vintage toile de jouy to add to the antique bed crown in my bedroom, Ian the Plasterer starts in the downstairs loo and Andie chooses frames for her beautiful watercolours of the chateau bedrooms. But we also have to deal with some sad news...

Phillip is SUCH a dear man!! What a treasure of a friend!
My uncle is a farmer and he raised pheasants. He also has peacocks that are free to roam at will after they are big enough. He built a large, walk in aviary that housed the birds until the chicks were big enough to defend themselves against the introduced predators we have here like weasles, stoats and hedgehogs (that eat the eggs). The aviary also had quail being raised in as well. May be you could build an aviary down by the chicken house because it would also protect any chicks from predators. The mama birds and the chicks would not need to be long in the aviary and then could live free.
This is a perfect idea! Selmar, save the chicks!!! Honor Petite-Pois s’il vous plaît! Sending all my love to Laland - Maxximo Morabito
Honestly, she is not equipped or hands on enough for the responsibility of animals. So many injured or killed on her property....
💐 Yes, I agree about an aviary. In my rural equestrian portion of Los Angeles, we have lots of 🦚 peacocks & predators.
Most ppl set up a large aviary for the peacocks to stay in safely @ night 🌝. There are always risks with freedom & roaming, but they typically only allow the adults out during the day.
For 🐔 chickens, it's not so free range. The great number of raptors (hawks, kites, falcons & owls) flying regularly overhead alone would deciminate them. Some ppl create moveable 4 sided cages that can plonk down over the top of them. It can be easily moved around to eat the grubs🐛 in the yard, but someone must still be outdoors to supervise them. 🐺Foxes, coyotes & mountain lions can find a way in those contraptions easily.
🐱Sad fact is that outdoor cats don't survive here long. 🐶Even leaving most dogs unattended outside during the day is not wise. 😱Most canines aren't smart enough to avoid confronting snakes, raccoons, skunks〰️let alone a truly serious predator.
🚨Small dogs need to stay near owners. My neighbor barely got there in time to save their Yorkie being carried off by a coyote in their backyard.
📍Fun Fact: Audubon Society has a link for 5 distinct owl🦉 calls in North America. We recently learned my neighbor has a couple of "screechy" barn owls atop his trees, while we have a bunch of "who-ing" Great Horned Owls on our side. 😉 Trust me, the former might be prettier, but the latter has a much more civilized greeting.
💌ps FrancoPhiler: That's a rather gross exaggeration. Have a heart. No use being evil toward LaLanders for this loss. They clearly want to give the birds their best life🎊. It's not nice being locked in a tiny enclosure 24/7 for sure. 🥺The peachick's ultimate sacrifice while heart-rending 💔 was not in vain. In the end, predators gotta eat too. 🔄Cycle of life.

Her crown is lined with fabrics fine,
to rival any royal.
To place it where it does belong,
the servants had to toil.
They scrambled up to lofty spheres,
to lift the golden dome.
And screwed it to a sturdy wall,
so it won‘t start to roam.
Looking at it from below,
with extreme delight.
Only fabric from Jouy will see you through the night.
I had a lot of fun writing this poem. 😄
🎊 Bravo! ✒️You penned a lovely tribute. 💫 It's quite fitting for our Princess Stephanie and her stunning golden antique bed 👑 crown with the beautiful two tone cranberry & white toile fabric.
😊Your clever words bring joy to all
🏰LaLanders who read them too!
Well done👏. 🙏God bless you🕊️!

@@teresacarle294 😊Thank you.
The bed crown looks stunning.
Sooooo beautiful!
Philip is so kind and thoughtful 💙 Thanks for keeping it real and letting us know about the pea chick. Life isn't always about laughter. Sadness happens too. Thinking of you all as you process loosing the baby chick.😔. The curtains look lovely!!💗Exciting to see the bathroom progress!!
Andy's water color paintings are just gorgeous.
I could not live without a seam ripper! I think I’ve managed to hold onto mine for 30-40 yrs!
Yes it’s so so useful, I have inherited my Mums one now she’s no longer with us, mines green, hers pink.
Philip is so so sweet to everyone especially to Stephanie. I so hope she appreciates him. He is such a good friend to her. :)
You are such a sweet lady. No wonder everyone loves helping you with your beautiful chateau I’m living vicariously through you! ♥️♥️
It is a real Princess bed. Welldone!
Oh Andie - the whimsy and beauty portrayed in your work is simply magic!
Poor wee little chick. It’s life as it’s meant to be. It became too independent because it was an only chick. I think shooing them into the walled garden is a great idea with a shelter for them. Their mum won’t wander away from them. People will just have to be super careful to close the gates.
@@TheFrancoPhiler don’t be ridiculous. Baby chicks don’t always survive. They’re perfectly well cared for. I lost many chicks and even full grown chickens to a fox who would strike in broad daylight with me right in the yard. Hawks kill them. Cats kill them. You can’t prepare for a neighbors dog to savage your birds. My dog got attacked by the neighbor’s pit bull TWICE before they got evicted. That wasn’t my fault. It was theirs for not keeping the thing on a leash.
Animals die when they’re in the world. Especially when you give them freedom to live natural lives.
Don’t try and pull your bullshit with me. Obviously you know nothing about letting animals live the way animals are meant to live and are trying to find a way to turn people against Stephanie.
@@TheFrancoPhiler Unfortunately any type of fowl especially the young are easy pickings for predators. I have had coyotes chew through wire to get my chickens. Raccoons can open latches on the coop door if you don’t lock it. Hawks swoop down on free range chickens. Heck one of my large dogs even has killed a few chicks… he was walking by a hen with chicks, she became aggressive and attacked him and in his panic he stepped on a few. Where there is life there is death. It’s a fact of life. You do the best that you can do and hopefully learn from your mistakes.
@@rhondahoehne9143 Sure, but there's not even an attempt here to keep the animals she is responsible for safe. I'm saying if you can't be responsible, if you're not equipped for an agrarian life with animals and wildlife, don't involve animals who can't take care of themselves and rely on you for shelter and safety.
@@TheFrancoPhiler Yes, it is true you need to have everything in place before you get any type of livestock. It at least gives your animals a better chance at survival.
@@rhondahoehne9143 which they do not do
I love the fable about the miller, the son and his donkey. I wish everyone knew that story.
Selmar is an artist.
Oh Stephanie and Philipp it looks lovely! You two are such lovely souls. It is a VERY BIG celebration that you are finishing your bedroom and putting attention to your space. Good for you, Stephanie -you deserve it!! xo
Philip is such a caring, supportive and thoughtful friend towards Stephanie and others I'm sure. What a blessing to have friends like that in one's life. The bed crown is absolutely stunning Stephanie, well done!
Steph, I would have done the same--not going to bed until both sides are done. It's absolutely gorgeous. Philip's taste and hands make the project so much more enjoyable, didn't they? Great job!!
I would display Andies art into each room it was painted from. How beautiful that would be.
So sad to hear about the little chick.The bed is stunning now. Phillip is amazing, kind and such a great friend, how lucky you are to have him by your side. Love seeing the 2 Ians and Selma at work, can't wait to see the finished room
The bed crown and the curtains are stunning. The crown goes so well with bed. Amazing seeing them all together with the curtains done. Beautiful.
Andie's illustrations have a markedly whimsical and juvenile quality that remind me of Fritz Siebel's illustrations for Amelia Bedelia, a favorite from my childhood.
Graham ... very good observation
Oh I'm so sorry about Petit Pois! Poor little angel :( On a brighter note, you've done an absolutely magnificent job with the bed crown in your room. It has transformed the room into a sumptuous chateau bedroom! Bravo!
Aww so sorry dear Stephanie. I remember you mentioning you were worried about petit poi . He was free all of them are .
We have peacocks and they are allowed to roam, but when we have hens that have hatched chicks, we move them into a large wire covered enclosure for a few weeks. The hens tolerate it … it’s just for a short while. To get the hens to go into the enclosure easily you must work with them a few times a week for months by feeding them in there.
Responsible approach and stewardship.
I do hope that Mummy and Percy are safe and sound.
And Scotman. ❤❤❤
I was thinking the same.
Yes, I was also wondering?
Stephanie and Philip are such a perfect friendship. You have so many fascinations and hobbies in common and the way you both share, interesting each other in new things, is delightful to watch. Friendship is so precious and found everywhere, if only we look.
It is so sad about the peachick. I was wondering if Mummy and Percy are going to make another video. I enjoyed their last one and I miss those two, we have not seen them for ages.
They have their own channel? What is it called?
@@ibosquez5238 No they didn't, they send it to Stephanie.
@@jpat7726
Ok
The finished bed crown with the toiles is spectacular. Fab work!
So sorry to hear about Petit Pois…
So fabulous that you are getting your space organized. It will help you on those hard days, that you need to keep focused and surrounded by beauty and pride. And all your trial and tribulations. Keep being amazing and you 🤗
The bed crown and curtains turned out beautifully. So many wonderful things happening. My heart goes out to Siff, Thor and all at Lalande. I'll say a prayer for the safe return of the peachick but if the worst has happened then it is little Ian. So very sorry 💔😢🙏❤️🏰🦚
So sorry about the dear little chick. All the resident animals bring another level of how beautiful life is and what fun it is to include them in your lives. I love all the names you give them, especially the renaissance ones...seem so regal for the chateau!
The bed crown is exquisite! You did a lovely job of it and your helpers, also. Phillip is a very special helper that becomes your springboard for wonderful ideas....you both compliment the other! It is a pleasure to see it all evolve! Thank you!💝
We need a photo of Stephanie plumped up against cushions, under the couronne de lit, being served tea on a tray, wearing a tiara. :-)
What a beautiful bed crown! Thank you so much once again for bringing such joy to my day! Isabelle and Percy - I am in Cape Town - I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Time for your mother and Percy to come back. Hope all safe.💟☮️
So sorry to hear about the peachick! I’m glad you were all there to cheer each other up.
The bed curtains are perfect with the crown, can't wait to see it when you make the bedspread! It is sad about the pea chick but that is nature. I once watched a live Eagle cam for a season, from the mating, laying of eggs, and the fledging of the Eagles. It was quite an emotional experience and I soon came to realize that in the animal kingdom Mother Nature is the boss and we humans cannot control what happens.
Every Chateau needs a Philip. What a considerate, kind and thoughtful, creative and handy young man.
Oh my goodness , the bed crown and curtains are absolutely superb.
Pillip is the best assistant you can have, helping you in the middle of the night, just because he is equally excited about beautiful things and cheering you up with his new tray
'Because they are free i cant keep them safe'
...:( I'm so sorry for your loss !!!
Stephanie, your bedroom is looking marvelous. I loved what you did with the curtains. Also thank you for adding the CLOSED CAPTION option on your blog. It really helps your hearing impaired loyal subscribers like me. 😍
Aww sorry about Petit pois poor thing, RIP little one . X I love to hand sew I do have a sewing machine but not a fancy stitch one just straight stitch. But most of my sewing I do by hand it's very soothing once you get into the vibe . Stephanie your crown looks lovely well done
Philip shines as a lovely, warm, sincere, caring, fun, faithful and true friend to Stephanie and all in the chateau☺️
I love how you call a seam ripper an "unpicker"! That's my word for it from now on 😊
Phillip is such a great all-rounder! Can't imagine having such a person around.
Always impressed by Philip's talent and devotion to you. He's a dear friend. Must say when I knew something sad had happened I thought of humans and pets and became quite nervous inside until hearing the poor little pea chick was missing. It was a good vlog with creative projects, my favorite. The mats and framing are beautiful. Andie is such a lovely part of the creative Lalande family.
So sorry about Petite Pois! I support the free life of the birds though, and understand the grief! Every life that touches ours is so precious. Sending healing thoughts your way. Keeping busy can only help.
Your bed looks SO pretty, Stephanie. Huge well dones to you and Philip.
It’s beautiful Stephanie. Sorry about petit pois 😭
Oh my goodness I remember that bathroom when you first moved in they're finally getting to it 🎀🙏
Is the toilet still lost in the mail?
I love the way you know all your info about designers and the history. You remember it all. And seeing you sewing and smiles. Makes me so happy and want to get back to my projects too. Thank Stephanie and all those around you. So inspiring 💕🤗
With freedom there is pain, but also joy, in life we have to embrace both.
Stunning, just beautiful Crown and drapery ❤️ So sorry for your loss 💐
Bed crown looks absolutely beautiful!!!
Bed crown looks amazing. Bless the little chick 🙁 x
When I work on a project during a period of grief the grief attaches to the project….the memory remains….
Interesting...I will have to ponder on that but it makes sense
I made a quilt when I was in depression and I think of recovering from that, when I look at it.
Fabulous bed crown and coordinating drapes! Well done...
Oh poor petit petit pois. It is heartbreaking, baby birds are so vulnerable. I am so grateful to have Ian, Lillian and Vivian, they are very precious to me. Their beauty takes my breath away and their calling sounds delight me every day. Xx
Stupendous job Stephanie ⚜️
You did a beautiful job sewing your bed crown.
I'm so sorry about the loss of the peachick. On a happy note, the bed crown is absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see the bed cover finished.
My favorite sewing tool the "unpicker" I call it the " picker outer".
“Seam Ripper” here.
It was introduced to me as the 'quick unpick'
@@charlottecashmore84 That’s much more interesting than Seam Ripper.
It's the frog here ...because you "ribbit" out the seams.
Jodie Hebb That is adorable!
The bed curtains look SO BEAUTIFUL, Stephanie. The frames you chose for the toile were lovely, and the ones for all of Andie's beautiful water colors were perfect. Andie's reaction to you choosing to hang her art in the Grand Salon was so sweet. Her paintings definitely deserve to be placed in a place of prominence, where everyone who comes to visit can enjoy them. Well done, Andie!
The bed looks so beautiful, fit for a princess. I think you should wear one of your tiaras to bed. :)
Broken-hearted about the peachick. The bed crown is amazing and the bedspread, what luck! I always put these fateful quirks up to Henri.
Bed crown is coming along beautifully. So sorry about the pea chick.😢😭
Aw, a day of tears and sorrows. Comforting to see Andies art, you could curl up and escape in her paintings💛
The bed crown is stunning 💕
I would use a stripe or a check for the bedhead as a foil to the toile. xoxoxo
The bed canopy is absolutely beautiful!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your sadness. It makes our realities even more beautiful and whole. Lots of love to you all.
So sad to hear about the dear little pea chick. Blessings and love 💛🙏🏻💛🙏🏻
guard dog is a must
They travel to often Stephanie stated. It wouldn't be fair to the dog according to her. But it would be a great idea but i certainly understand Stephanie.
@@Tracy_R I understand as most dogs bond most closely with one person, but there are so many lovely people at the chateau that I am confident a Border Collie or an Espanguol Breton would be very happy there with many jobs to do. Working dogs need a job and could be happy hunkering down with many who will love them when their work is done.
@@kathrynschumann5254 yes, that is what Stephanie had stated when someone asked for her to get a dog when the rooster got a nibble from the neighbors dog.
@@Tracy_R Yes, I think all the loved animals at LaLande need a protector and someone who can train it. Im partial to the Brittany breed.
So sorry to hear about Petit Pois 😔 but the bed looks fabulous 😍 so nice of Philip to try and cheer Stephanie up 🥺
It looks stunning, well done both of you! I’m addicted to your videos and just want to keep watching all of them. Thank you
Can't wait to see the prints hung in Grand Salon
Great job Stephanie , such a beautiful outcome to your extraordinary efforts. Philip and Michael were so sweet to give a helping hand , the both seem to be true and good friends. Keep up the good work, keep safe and God bless .
I like the name "unpicker" better than 'seam ripper', which we learned in Home Economics class. You're sew talented...(groan). I'd have been terrified cutting that fabric.
I love your smily laughter
Philip is such a golden soul! I love what you have done with the bedroom so far….sorry for the loss of your peachick. It is so hard to have free ranging chicks on grounds such as you have. They are easy targets. We kept ours in the enclosure until they had pin feathers and could jump into trees.
Been remarking at bedcrowns ever since. 👑
The bed crown is spectacular!!!
Selmar needs to build a night time bird house for the birds.
A Rooster house in the garden is on the list to get them away from the Hens. The hens have a stone hen house and run in the garden. The peacocks can fly over the wall so they don't go into a shelter (where the wood and Jaguar are) unless they want to.
I love the cream headboard with the toile patterns. Especially when the pillows were in front of it. Also, my regards for the loss.
The princess and the Pea-chick intertwined forever. Sorry for your loss. 😢
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Hugs and much love from DR💞
Condolences for Petit Pois. So hard, but you did everything that you could.
I hope Stephanie’s Maman, Percy, and her many other family and friends in South Africa are all (and continue to be) safe. 🙏🤞♥️♥️♥️
You have inspired me to start sewing again. Thank you, Lalanders!
The headboard would look lovely with a red cotton velvet. With some large red silk lamp shades either side and some red silk or toile candle shades for the wall lamps.
So sorry to hear about the wee chick...:( ....so sad. On a happier note.....love the new bed valance....Beautiful and well done the two of you!!!
Circle of Life...we pray for that precious chick. Your bedroom is going to be a show stopper Stephanie ❤
It all turned out beautifully 🥰
Beautiful painting
I love the beautiful crockery❣️
You guys always find the best things
Omg those water colors are magnificent!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Our dwarf rabbit passed today. He was alive this morning and passed at some point during the day. His passing was really saddening, but he lived a good long life. We buried him to rest in the backyard. 🤍
The completed bed crown and bed throw are a gorgeous ensemble!!! Châpeau, Madame de Jarvis!!
Wish I could find such things in blue toile. Thank you for explaining the stories in the toile.
Hopefully your Mom and Persey are doing well in South Africa.
My deepest condolences to you all on losing your sweet little Petit Pois. There is always so much joy at Lalande that sometimes we forget that there are sometimes sad moments in life
