- Lalande is full of activity as we use vintage fabric to create the bed curtains in the attic bedroom, and Nick the Tree Surgeon brings his mobile saw mill to the woods, so that we can fell, mill and use our own timber on the property!

What about making Lalande cheese boards and coasters for your shop with Lalande wood and emblazoned with the chateau? Thanks for all the wonderful content.
Brilliant!
Great idea
Brilliant, 100% endorse 😁
Yes laser cutters are inexpensive now you can engrave so much with them. So that would be so awesome
Exactly!
Don't give in to the manchild's tantrums...
I would keep the needlepoint in the oval frame over the bed in the toile room. It would just feel too on-the-nose to have it be toile, and I'm always wary of over-theming a room. As the glorious Dorothy Draper said, "Mix it up," and "If it looks right, it is right." I'll drink to that, and I am (gin-and-tonic on a summer night in Michigan.). The milling of the logs was fascinating, and Amaury's enthusiasm is contagious. Glorious things happening at La Lande!
Nick the Tree Surgeon is brilliant, great partner with Amaurey. Thank you Stephanie, great video!
👌🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🐨🇦🇺
Nick is an ABSOLUTE GEM! There you are…out in the middle of nowhere… and dang! if you don’t draw the MOST MAGNIFICENT and MAGICAL people to LaLande! Nick is such a RARE bird, Stephanie, that Heaven obviously has its eyes on you! Every single person that works for you is BEYOND amazing! You are so blessed! It is such a pleasure to witness.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Nick is proving to be one of the best additions to the chateau ever. What a brilliant guy.
I totally agree. He is a gem. I can’t imagine there would be many I with his skill and knowledge.
His knowledge and skills are very impressive.
Nick's suspenders read "Oregon".
Hello from Oregon, Nick!
It is wonderful to see how each person starts out shy and reserved and then blossoms under Stephanie’s enthusiasm and appreciation for the role they play.
Indeed, he is a keeper. All that wood is treated with respect.
Dear Stephanie, nevermind the toile bedroom. What do you call "full activity"? What we saw was Philip doing some work on the headbord and you playing with a picture frame. As other projects this bedroom was not finished as well.
What's happening with Natti's apartment, the attic, lake, Grand salon! So many projects begun and left with no word when if at all will be finished! We can't see any progress being made on the Chateau at all this days. I've been watching for a long time and honestly the videos are making me frustarded this days instead of brining some joy as in previous days.

Your vlogs have changed. C'est dommage.
I had to look up what dommage means. I wholeheartedly agree with you. (I stopped watching for several months because of the lack of progress on any restoration and my frustration with the seemingly endless list of things begun but never finished.) The over abundance of toile in this bedroom would make waking up in it a veritable nightmare but of course, to each her own.
Coffee, Stephanie and the whole cast of Lalandé originals, it's like checking in at home....
Less is More The test of a great designer is........ Knowing When To Stop
The forest work is so impressive for a multitude of reasons. The thought of your healthy woods & one day your lake restored just fill my heart with joy 🥰 In the meantime I’m thoroughly enjoy the journey with all of you.
Love to see the 'Oregon' suspenders! As a nurse on the Pacific Northwest we see logging accidents by the most skilled persons as millwork can be so dangerous. I would love to see the men wearing safety goggles.
Oh yes I agree please don’t work around the saw without eye protection.
I must say, Nick really knows his stuff! You would be hard pressed to find someone else like him to handle this end of the business for the chateau. He has put me on to following the Notre Dame restoration myself. Can’t wait to see Amaury and Nati’s recyclables station! It’s just what is needed! Gosh, I can’t believe how far things have progressed in a years time!
I watched a brilliant documentary about Notre Dame. It had some footage of the day the awful fire started, the clearing, demolition of damaged parts, sourcing of timbers for restoration etc, etc. Well worth a watch, I think it was on the BBC.
How do I follow Notre Dame reconstruction? I would love to do that. I jump on every update I find, but I would love to follow it regularly.
The black insect on the wisteria is a bee! It's a black carpenter bee. They're huge! They are solitary bees and like dead but not rotten woodfor making nests, and with all the trees coming down in the forest it's no wonder you're getting them around the chateau.
Thanks for the information, I said to my self, is to black or maybe was the outside light.
The steel beams on the top of the courtyard structure now look like a design element pulling in the darkness of the roof. Well done!
Now the trees have got frames)
I just worry that the steel will get too hot in the summer and damage the espaliered trees?
@@jackierice4254 Good point. We shall see.
@@jackierice4254 I think that Davey will have the answer to that and will be able to advise accordingly. Good idea to bring it up now so it can be taken into consideration.
Magnificent tree surgeon and your cousin's knowledge is outstanding. The toille room is beautiful.
I always want these episodes to go on and on...... love them and the people who inhabit or visit the Chateau! 💖👌
i still hate the net curtains
Oh my, oh my, oh my...to toile or not toile...when is to much toile too much toile! There are so many lovely individual elements here but altogether in one tiny room??? What are you thinking ? A little contrast...a lot more would balance the busyness. Sorry guys I am obviously in the minority here. Stylish is not the adjective and such a pity :(
I totally agree, too busy for my taste.🤦♀
I love seeing Andrew and Ricardo, they're so generous when they visit and I love the humour! One could only dream to have the collection of BFF's as you do Stephanie! Such wonderful people gather at Lalande.
Are we going to get an update soon of all the paneling? Can’t wait to see what Amaurey has been doing!
For Notre Dame, their are rebuilding the forest that holds the roof. A milling building was doubled in size just to cut the large 2,000 trees needed. The trees are coming from all over France as they need trees hundreds of years old.😀😀😀
What an interesting and lovely Vlog. It’s so good to see the amazing progress inside and out, plus everyone is so happy. In the Toile room, I think the oval frame with what is inside looks really good. What a transformation. ❤️
My father wrote/typed letters to his mother and brother during WWII (Pacific theater) on super, super wafer-thin wood sheets (you could see the grain of the wood). He said it was "paper" (as such) left behind by the retreating Japanese army. I have seen the two original letters at my cousin's - it is really amazing that they could be used in a typewriter.
Interesting!
That's amazing I'm sure museum would love them, I know it be hard to part with them but this way they last forever
I think Dan’s new name should be Cinderfella
Nick the tree surgeon is brilliant! I loved seeing his “Oregon” suspenders, since that is where I live. :)
I loved seeing that too! I live in Vancouver now but grew up in Portland - I still think of myself as an Oregonian, I’m only a river away.
Myself as well...and as an Oregon and Stihl Brand dealers. You boys are fantastic and Lalande is blessed to have you care for her.
"What a team we've got! It's incredible!" I couldn't agree with you more. It really is amazing how you have the right people in place to develop the land and renovate the chateau!
Lovely vlog. My nephew has a saw mill like that. It really does wonders. You would pay a fortune for that wood in the store.
Once again the food and friends and fun was much enjoyed.
Can't wait to see the room complete.
Best wishes all.
i hate the net curtains
Rewatched right away again. Loved the wood milling. Fun to watch and great music. Step family has tree farm but most trees just leave and not milled on the mountains. Nick and Graham are so good at their job. May I suggest you leave the beige embroidery in the oval to break up the pink. LOL😘😘😘
i agree - the white oval with beige is a focal point - please leave it.
I agree!! To much of a good thing!!! USA
I think just hang it a little lower - closer to the bed head.
I am full of admiration for Nick and Graham. What knowledge and skill. They are delightful
I love the 'toile' room, that's where I'd choose to stay. The view from the window is incredible. It's so lovely to see the wood being milled, Nick has done such a fab job and he's so knowledgeable. It's sweet to see Amaury so passionate about the wood 💗. Love Sundays, it's like catching up with friends. Ive recently become a 'Lady of LaLande' Lady Fiona has quite a nice ring to it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎☺️x
Thank you so much for all the joy!! 💞💝💞
Yeah. This channel has grown into my system sooo much, over the years… ❣️
Love watching Nick the tree surgeon work. For some reason it is very satisfying watching the milling in action.
the knowledge that Nick has is incrediable ...... so very lucky to have the most talented and dedicated la la landers . Keep up the great work everyone . Sending love health and happiness from Dubai xoxo
The tree surgeon and his white clad helpers are giving me life!
It's a bee on the wisteria, in French: abeille charbonnière, great pollinator!
Dome years ago, I saw two of these bees collide! They fell to the ground. It was in late summer, perhaps they were on the way out..
I loved seeing our name in graffiti form on the bins.
I could listen to Nick discuss trees and timber all day. He is absolutely fascinating, you could not have a better tree surgeon.
The music you chose for Amaury and Nick with th'e huge log, was perfect. Amaury's idea for a structure is brilliant.
Dan must keep appearing!!! Love the fresh wood! It must be so rewarding to be able to use your own for many projects, repairs etc to come! The toile is fabulous, my favorite. I would change out the oval picture. I'm sure you you will find the right thing to tie it all together! Much love from MA😘
Nick is one impressive guy! Amaury is so excited! Toile room is gorgeous!
Sooo glad to see Dan back! He always has great projects to work on, Dan style. AnnMarie is a treasure! I had heard about Notre Dame using green cut wood as in the days of old. I finally got my land and will be stripping bark from the bottom of timber this winter so it will dry out by spring, The sap stops running in mid winter so it is bone dry by spring if you remove a foot strip of bark from a foot above the base. I will be milling it and building my forever manor home in the spring. Then my formal gardens and a meadow with a natural spring swimming pond. I am beyond happy!!! I wanted a Chateau but I can no longer do steps but I did see a single level Chateau on TH-cam. It gave me hope and a plan! LOL
How exciting for you! :) I too am finding stairs to be more challenging these days and was excited when you mentioned the single level chateau. Do you remember the name of its TH-cam channel?
Yes Stephanie I second that, you do have a great team at TheLand🥰🌈🇨🇦
I live in Los Angeles and I so want to turn my little room into a french jewel box! You live in such a beautiful place that is rich in history and tradition. Some of my favorite moments is in the kitchen and when dining as I get inspired on what too look for when I search etsy for vintage dinnerware. Thank you for letting us live vicariously through you all! My new bucket list item is to one day visit your chateau!!!!
Love the trees being milled on site!!! 😁❤️🇨🇦❤️🇫🇷❤️🎶🎶🎶
Will you be making your own new window frames with your wood as I think it's been mentioned before yours are all rotting away or am I getting you confused with another château.😂
Really fun vlog! I loved seeing the wood milled and how resourceful you all are. The toile room looks great! And Dan!
Nick the tree surgeon is brilliant! X
Wonderful video! Love the pictures in the room. Learning about the woods and woodcutting is very interesting!
Courtyard looks amazing! Love the black metal supports.
Another injection of positivity! Thank you all.
I find the white frame very distracting
I’m glad to see I am not the only one with projects interrupted again and again. How do we get anything done? LOL! I enjoy watching your beautiful community take shape around/in/through your beautiful building and property. I often think of how I can also create a place of community here that brings together a group of remarkable and lovely people. I don’t think a building is required for that magic to happen, but of course it doesn’t hurt. I’m enjoying seeing your charming and handsome Philipp bring his own contribution to the beauty of the Château. Sending love from the Shenandoah Valley in the States. I look forward to your videos! 🌸💕💜🦋
I don't know if people have any idea how expensive machines these saw mill machines are , I do ! I have wood somewhere in Finland and they wouldn't even bother coming to cut them considering the cost and the amount of trees I have , no it's not one or two trees ! Anyway, this tree guy is doing amazing job ! You were lucky to find him !
Chateau Love just posted a vlog where Viviane's husband did his first walk around some of the rooms of Lalande including Kitchen, Grand Mother's, Marquis's, Dining room, Grand Salon, Chapel and Entrance. There are lots of close ups of Stephanie's father's paintings and Steven showing one I have never seen in the vlogs. She also had older shots of Chamber Rose. Check it out.
I really enjoyed that episode, la Lande looked so beautiful!
Love this channel 🙏☀️❤️
Sorry, I have to agree with Dan....way too much pink. Especially with the walls already full of that color
When you say “I love it in the courtyard. I really never never get bored of coming home to this!”.. I can imagine the joy Isabel will have seeing this beautiful transformation, not only in the courtyard but the woods and walled garden.. and with her new improved eyesight!! My grandmother was legally blind, deteriorating over the years and she wished for such joys as her garden was her passion. A garden up close with the smells, colours and textures is such a sensory joy, especially one like this with love put into it and with Isabel’s in mind too. 🥰💐
How lovely of you to think this! Isabel is going to be so happy 😀🥰
Wow!! Love the pink toile room and the tree work is astounding!! And Amaury still amazes me with all his talents and willingness to be proactive and creative on his day off to do even more. Love the communal eating!! Love to you all!! 💗
Oval frame in the bedroom breaks up all the toile. In fact the ones either side are over kill. Sorry my opinion only.
Wow…Nick is brilliant! I am enthralled listening to the information he gives us about wood. What an amazing army of people you have compiled at LaLande Stephanie!
Excellent vlog! The people who come to LaLande to work and volunteer are truly amazing. Amaury’s plan for the bins is a great idea. Your now traditional ending for your vlog- dinner with everyone around the table is the icing on the cake. Thanks Stephanie and Co🙏🏻❤️
Stéphanie hello , would you consider to make a little donation for the people in the Gard region, who lost their homes, and for the 9 firemen injured in the fires ?
Would you consider also to make a donation for the floods in The Kentucky, in USA.
The colours in the bedroom is beautiful and the beautiful view's. 👍🥰
Bonjour à toute l'équipe,
Je viens de réaliser une chose : vos vidéos, c'est comme dans Astérix, ça finit toujours par un banquet. Mais où est ligoté le barde? Je m'inquiète pour lui... 😆
I love you all so much!!!!!!❤️🥰😊 beautiful episode
Dear Stephanie here is some info about the blue-black bee. The authors Liddell and Scott (A Greek-English Lexicon) say: The French entomologist Pierre André Latreille described the genus in 1802. He derived the name from the Ancient Greek xylokopos/ξυλοκὀπος "wood-cutter. So therefore, it's known as the "Carpenter bee". What a suitable coincidence, especially in this episode. Sending love from the Czech, Oldrich 👠
Great! Finally Stephanie you will not have to look at the garbage from your window! Your cousin is really a hard working darling!
That is seriously impressive. Love the saw mill. How amazing is it that you source your own wood. That is so 18th century. What a joy to watch. Thank you LaLande, Stephanie, Philip and Amuary. Hugs
I like the center embroidery frame. Breaks from all the toile.
me too
I love the center embroidery but think that the frame needs to touched w/ some rubbed gold paint. It will give depth and substance to the beautiful frame
were actually dissolved, what does Nattie's apartment look like? Was there a video about it? Or is it not finished yet?
They are waiting for planning permissions for the external doors. Then they can continue the project.
And also Ian the builder has been sick, so they are waiting for his return.
@@carolinegooder7091 ok, thanx
Every time I watch your vlogs I feel such a positive vibe!
Brilliant decorating…… there’s no end to what Amory can make with milled timber from the woods…….. sooooooo exciting …. there just aren’t enough hours in the day to finish all he has to do🤠
I would love a shelf of the freshly cut wood with the raw edge.
It is so great to see smiling Dan!!!
He in love-all will soon be revealed!💞
Nick the tree man is one amazing caricature 🌲🌲🌲🍀🌲🌲🌲
Nick & Amaury are a magical team!
I don’t think I could handle that bedroom, it’s a bit… intense.
Dan’s back! Love it. That bedroom came out beautiful! You and Philip did such a nice job. How nice to be able to use all your own wood. So cool 😎
now i can go back to what i was doing early…
watching Chateau Diaries in Order 😄
👍🏾😉
Do you think the lamp shades are a little too red?
To quote the “Police” …”Every little thing you do is magic!” and when I say you, I mean everyone at Lalande! It’s so fabulous to watch the flow of talented people that bless Lalande with all their strengths and knowledge. It’s creating magic right before our eyes. I hope that one day I get the chance to share my talents with you as well! Bisous 💖🏰🌞
OMG I just saw Philip's fingernails
Nick is a Brilliant Tree Surgeon ❤🌳 Great Tatoos too 👍
The Toile Room is looking Excellent 🥰
The steel does look so much better, aesthetically. The bedroom, beautiful, friends…priceless!
What a gorgeous vlog, dear Stephanie!!! I am amazed how talented Amaury is! Everybody is working hard to make this chateau more and more splendid by each day!!! Superb!!! I am not quite sure if the white round frame shouldn't stay with that embroidery, that way kinda it catches the eye, making it a center piece, maybe another red toile would be too much! But I am sure you and Philip will choose the right combination, your taste is impeccable!!!🥰
Nick has been a wonderful addition to the LeLand family. I wish I could find my own Nick for my family’s Century property. 250+ acres, 80% woods since farming stopped in 1948. Having someone you trust to make the best decisions for now and the future of our beloved woods would be huge improvement for our future generations. My ancestors built the original 1837 house from trees they felled and cut . They had a mill come in 90 years later to make magnificent beams for new barns and several homes on the property. You and Phillip are a great couple who work so well together doing projects. Looking forward to seeing Amory and Natty working on the future bin enclosure. So much love and friendship at the château! ❤️❤️
In NC all forests need a forestry plan, past by the forestry department of the state. My 32 acres needed a plan and the step family who have 300 plus acres needed a plan. Call your state department for a local business to help you. Good luck! 😀
How wonderful to have a property that has been in your family for so long in America!!! I’m into researching my ancestry and have learned about ancestors who owned large tracts of land but my parents didn’t inherit anything unfortunately! My German ancestors who came to the Virginia colony in 1714 lived in tiny huts but my several times great grandfather managed to acquire over 100,000 acres before his death. I hope your family truly appreciate the history and hard work that your ancestors achieved 😀
Fabulous video as ever Stephanie. Really enjoyed it all but especially the section on the wood cutting. Very uplifting and the music was so appropriate. Loved the dinner scene. What a wonderful group of friends 👏❤️👏
Love the music you put with the cutting of the wood.
I had to call my husband in to see Nick working his mill. What an amazing piece of machinery! (the mill not Nick although he is quite spectacular as well). I have never seen such a thing and am quite floored by it. I think the thing I love most about those who are drawn to La Lande is that every single one of them have a certain area of expertise and their knowledge is fantastic. If you just stick with a certain group of friends or neighbours you only learn from them what they know but if you have a continuous stream of new people coming and going then you learn from each of them. I also love the toile room and what you are doing with it. It is lovely.
Your work in this Room is Brilliant Phillip & Stephanie! ❤️ 💙 💜 💖. Missing Dan so much being there, but do love all his own vlogs. Lol I love that large log, it has beautiful natural wood design. My uncle & grandfather use to build & carve alot out of wood from trees in the woods. Also, my father in law made picnic tables & benches ..loved that wood smell. Your Cousin is a genius & so Is Natie for Falling for him. They are sooo 😍. Love the Timber mill man & Fellows. Lol 😆
Safety glasses to protect their eyes from sawdust please remind them. I got sand in my ey and it ripped to. Even though it healed as I age it causes problems. Please remind them to protect their eyes!
Nick needs his own channel
Wonderful to see Andrew !! Where was Ricardo Say I , thrilled to see them so embraced and enjoyed in Lalande, much love to all x
Finally saw Ricardo xxxlots love boys x
I’ve seen Ricardo before, not sure what he does at the château? Can you tell me? And I’m confused about Dan! I watch all of his videos also but I still don’t understand what’s going on lol
@@angelaengler2387 Andrew and Ricardo are friends of Stephanie and the Lalande’s and live nearby having bought a house nearby, they are great company, very funny and very giving in life ! They will be great Neighbours.
Love your energy, love your friends and volunteers... do not love the overkill of toile in one room... keep behind the headboard white with wall art as is... need to break up all that same color and pattern... my head is screaming overkill... now as to the meal... how on earth do you not weigh 300 lbs??? LOL
Has Nick had his own vlog feature? I feel like his life story could be told in a 3 part video series.
I love your project Stephanie and Philippe.
Stephanie Everyone Lalanders Have a Lovely day. Fabulous Video. Xx 😘
I love this show especially this episode about milling the wood. I enjoy the time you give on your videos to the construction projects as much as the interior decorating & cooking. You are a brave soul tackling such a major project. Much love and happiness to you all.
