    Seeing Selmar happy is like seeing a child on Christmas morning. You cannot help but smile and feel that happiness. Love you so much Selmar! Mandy looks so beautiful in the blue dress! She looked pretty in all of them, but that blue one looks like it was made for her. Everyone looks beautiful in the dresses. I just wanted to say a special thank you to all of you on today of all days. I have just come in from the funeral of my father. He's actually my father-in-law but he was more of a father to me than my own. And what do you know I got a notification from my favorite chateau. I will admit I'm watching this video through tears. But I feel just a little less sad and a little less lonely at least for a few minutes today. Thank you! ❤️

      Genetics and not having children helps too. Her hips have not change from birthing. Keep a nice figure and it comes natural to you and to be honest the green jumpsuit ensamble looked a little tight, eventhough she still could get in it.

    There's a new trend in the Netherlands that charities (stichting in dutch) are started were you can exchange clothes, so you get points for the clothes you bring, they must be in good condition, no holes or stains. The points you can use to 'buy' clothes in their store. It's especially great for baby and kids clothes!

    I am so glad to hear of someone else holds onto their clothes for a long time! I don't think I have held on since 16 yr old though. The fashion show was fun to watch!

    An idea for the pool table as my family did something similar to ours, put a large flat piece of wood on top, it doesn't need to be fancy as there are always table cloths, and it doesn't need to be strapped to the pool table, but I am sure Selmar can create a way to secure the plywood type of wood to the pool table without screws to damage the pool table, and now you have a really big dinner table with space to pull up a chair and if its a little too tall you can get new chairs with longer chair legs, or a narrow piece of plywood with table cloth and now you have a big buffet or sideboard. You can keep the pool table and repurpose it for bigger dinner parties.

    thankyou steff for sharing this with us. Selmar is amazing with his talent's and lateral thinking for his stone masonary . He was guided by micheal angelo i am sure.
    It was fun sharing your clothing sorting and dunno about anyone else i didnt really see any issue with the styles i love the 1950 style look and the princess diana suit was gorgeous and i didnt see any issue with the jacket . The black dress looked amazing with the bolero and again the shoulder pads didnt look dated . and with all fashion they return . in my wardrobe i got mainly what i call classic styles that i feel i can wear all the time. Back in 1987 i got married and had a going away outfit a royal blue 2 piece suit with black velvet on the collar . i still have this suit and 19 years later i wore it to my sons wedding and had so many complements. i am 63 tomorrow .

Is there anything that Selmar can’t do? The man is amazing. He tackles a task with intense determination reaping success! He is also an animal whisperer. What a gentle soul he is. Phillips dinner looked delicious! Still having fun with a downsized crew. You all brighten my days! 🇺🇸

Her face is so stunningly beautiful and then has such a sweet innocence to it when she smiles. So glad you all have eachother.

Apart from the lovely people, the rooms (at least the ones shown in this vlog) look quite cozy even in winter, not too cavernous, formal, or grand like in other chateaux I've seen. Such a nice ambience one can feel it even on video. Stay healthy and safe everyone. God bless!
