Good morning Patrick & Stuart, Hells bells!! That was a shopping spree. Every thing is so lovely. The settee is stunning, the prints - oh my, the cutlery will look great after some cleaning up. You have really bought lovely items, so suitable for "your" chateaux. I would love to see the upholstery done on that magnificent set you were sitting on. That was really a wow shopping spree. You are doing things the right way, now you are buying stuff to fit the chateaux, there is the wall space for the portraits, paintings, wall rugs etc., then the vast rooms to fill up with exquisite pieces of furniture. I am so happy for you that you are living your dream. Stuart takes things so non-chalant I just love the manner he always comments right with a raised eyebrow!! Not forgetting those gorgeous rugs. Indeed you are very blessed. Do enjoy be happy. Many blessings and kind regards as always. This was a great video, filled fun and adventure..... Much love, Elize.
What an awesome haul!! Great shopping Stuart and Patrick. How simply fabulous getting that suite from Chateau Beauregard and with such provenance to boot! I too can imagine people of a bygone era sitting on those chairs, never once thinking of them still be in use hundreds of years later. I also love the scenic drives and places you visit, a great addition to our ‘armchair theatre’ travel.Thanks so much.👏👌❤️🙏🏻
Patrick and Stuart, I love your auction finds. Some really great bargains, too. Something for the walls, for the library, and for the grand salon. When you've completed the reupholstering, the furniture will truly be fit for royalty. Take care of yourselves. You both could do with a rehab day to rest your bodies. Hugs xxx.
Absolutely love watching your vlogs! You work so hard on all that is going on at the chateau and you still joke and laugh about it, that’s how it’s done! I can relate to starting the day with a coffee and a pain relief, but don’t over do it too much Patrick!! You don’t want to be flat on your back one day.❤
Thank you very much. It is hard work but don’t worry, we are careful. I take some in the morning some days after I have used muscles I didn’t know I had. That’s it. But you are right. We are careful to be be out of commission. Huge thank you. 🥰👍🏻🥰
Hi Patrick and Stewart! Hope you are both well! It’s amazing to think you are sitting on where royalty once sat also. Imagine a piece of furniture lasting that long these days🤔. Some beautiful items you have bought 💕
Oh where to start to tell you how much fun it was to watch this episode? I've bought a lot of things at auctions, and like you, sometimes when the bidding takes off and goes crazy high, and I think "what just happened?" I stopped the video in places so I could read the road signs so I can figure out where you've been. What a great furniture find with the Louis XVI settee and chairs. Furnishings with a story to tell--as these do--makes for an interesting and fascinating decor. Keep on attending auctions. Oh, and I enjoyed the drive up to the chateau through the back gate and the woodland.
I love you both. You have great taste and have so much fun in everything you do, even though some of what you do, kills your back or sprains your ankle. The furniture, artwork, accessories you purchased are beautiful and will be perfect scattered about your chateau. But the experiences you had acquiring these pieces have no doubt brought you so much joy. Both of your faces light up when you talk about it. And that’s key to a life well lived, doing the things you love and doing it with the person you love. Keep smiling and laughing!!! hugs xxx
We love you right back 😊❤😊. You are such a joy and I am always looking forward to seeing your comments. Indeed, we do things that are almost “killing” us 😂😂😂. We had a fun time acquiring amazing items and picking them up was a blast. And indeed, doing this together with the love of your life makes it fantastic! Love you you and your loved ones. 😘💖🌹🥰
I adore all your purchases from another Château no less, they are absolutely beautiful. I'm so looking forward to watching your kitchen renovation videos, have fun with your new treasurs 😊
The two of you are so much fun to watch. I love all your treasures that you have acquired! Love the history behind the pieces and can't wait to see how the reupholstery turns out.
Thank you very much. We are a funny bunch 😂😂😂. I agree the items are fantastic. Like you, we are impatient to see what fabrics we will find. Hugs and love from us at Colombe. 💖😘😘
You have brought some beautiful furniture love the lounge , I adore the black and white print of Lady ... these are all going to be beautiful once cleaned up .. the chairs wow .. well done .. 🙂 so special ..👋🐕🐶🐕🐶🐕🐶🐕🐶🐕 babies ..x I'm moving heavy pots I feel the pain x bye bye
Oh dear, I'm having major chair envy!! I love them all!! Especially those beautiful rush seat dining chairs! And the artworks you've got are really great! I'd hang any of them happily in my home. Very successful deals!
I love you two so much,I could watch you all day ( but I think there’s a law against that 😬) your vlogs are so inspirational and uplifting and you’re both so talented,charming and dare I say funny 🥰
This is such a wonderful and supportive comment. Thank you very much. I don't know about a law but watching us has no calories! 🤣😂🤣. You comment made my day. Hugs hugs 😍😘🥰
You guys really cheer me up. Your love for each other and for your dogs warms the whole channel. I love your crazy enthusiasm for your cleanups renovations sewing crafts and your love of a good bargain. You already have made so many friends it tells me that you genuinely are a couple of great guys. 😊
@@eleanorchapple8772you are so very kind. We are down to earth and love our families and friends and are proud to have supporters like you. Huge hugs from Colombe. 😘👍🏻🥰
Hello Patrick, hello Stewart! I am so excited for you both. What incredible pieces you added can you imagine the same piece that you are sitting with your bum is the same spot that Marie Antoinette and the king sat together on. No, probably not the king but for sure Marie Antoinette how exciting is that!? And to have it come from that château. Wow you guys will still must be pinching yourselves. Stewart, I hope your ankle is feeling better. And Patrick if you can cut out as much sugar as you can. Add more fish oil to your diet for inflammation and do some stretches in the morning after your coffee of course 😂😉 you don’t want to get hooked on those stupid painkillers. Try to cut out the caffeine too. I’m sure that’s asking the impossible.😂 all this will help with your information. I am constantly finding new things to deal with my inflammation and fibromyalgia. Sending lots of love to both of you.☺️💜🤗🤟🏻😎🐕🇺🇸
Patrick returns to Château de Beauregard. I love a full circle moment! The salon set is lovely and its provenance makes it so special. And the art haul is amazing; I'd hang all of it in my house. 👏 À vendredi.
Oh how marvelous! And what a story! Actually the latest issue of a Swedish monthly interiors mag features Ch Beauregard bc she's a Swede (and if memory serves me right he's English or perhaps American). They're extremely well off and the Chateau is chock full of very expensive modern art and all renovated and furnished at the top end (so I hope you didn't pay too much for that group!) Beautiful, definately my fave of your finds! Hot tip: if you want to make a killing on fantastic fabric for drapes and upholstery go to Catawiki and write "italian fabric", "damask" or "brocade" and hit search. There's always incredible amounts of Venetian damask in 100% silk or silk blends, fantastic brocades and linnens galore in the most beautiful jeweltones, classy neutrals, poetic blues, emerald greens and bright ochres, and bc there's more or less a constant flow you can really get volumes cheaply. ALSO there's ready made curtains from old Italian Piano Nobili and estates going even cheaper. It's really the type of fabric that you'd have to pay through your nose for if you go to the highstreet in any city. Alot of the bolts of fabric are old stock clearance, and some are also modern stock made in the old style befitting a Chateau and basically surplus from the industry sold cheaply. There's also fantastic modern designer fabrics to mix in with your style. I love layering patterns, and a good stripe or gingham check always works fabulously with florals, toile de jouy and more abstract damask medallions to add some definition, and there's also sheer fabrics like cheesecloth- thin linnens and monochrome taffetas that are fabulous if you really go for loads of width or length (and who doesn't love an extra half yards length of pooling taffeta on the floor?) and that gets superpricey at any regular fabric dealer. But you can literally get them in full bolts for great discounts. If you measure out the yardage you need and take the repeat of the auctioned fabric into your calculation, (and the direction on the seats etc) , you can easily compare prices with what's available at the french fabric dealers in Paris. You'll find alot of well known French brands are also on auction, French designer fabrics often have their manufacture in Italy so the factory sales are all there and insane! I was a little surprized at all those framed prints until you revealed nobody was bidding and you got them so cheap, I get it. What you really like you can find a place for, and the rest you can use the frames for photos and more interesting artwork. At the brocantes the frames would have cost alot more. That small settee is cute as it is! Put a generous ottoman in a complimentary fabric and contrasting piping infront of it, a tray and maybe an oversized lamp on a side table you have really chic and comfy moment that makes a whole section of a bedrom, larger salon or a whole snug with a fireplace. Also a good two seater for the foot-end of a bed! Love seeing the footage from the passing landscape and villages, if you ever need five added minutes of content, just add car footage, we love it! 😉 Congratulations on your haul boys! ❤️😍
Well that was a very enjoyable vlog! And lots of auction buys! Something I’m very familiar with! 🙄🙄 I’ve also been buying a lot of art prints lately. Also for ridiculous prices. Hard to resist eh? I really like all the furniture pieces as well. I enjoyed the tour of the Loire as well. I look forward to you getting together with Terry for the upholstery lesson. Can’t wait for the kitchen and garden update! A bientot! 💕💕
Oh my goodness you have struck gold with all those pieces. Even driving into the grounds of that Chateau was breath taking. The history of them oh so lovely. Definitely Treasures guys ❤
WOW!!! What a haul you guys had!! And great deals too!! I can’t wait to see the upholstery fabric and the furniture restoration. I love the red and gold settee. It is beautiful!! Patrick, it’s crazy that you ended up buying things from the same chateau you and your parents visited awhile ago. 😉💙🙏
I love the prints, and the dancing ones are adorable! Not so crazy about the two plain frames, on black and one silver, but the prints were beautiful. Dining chairs are gorgeous! I love the suite your sitting on! I have a chair and looking for a second one similar to them that I’ve upholstered in cowhide… it’s my thing, lol I have to say, the cutlery is my favorite buy!
Love your ending! Just be you!! LOL! I've been working on that for a while. Nice setee and very exciting that you got it from another chateau! See you Friday! Much love!
I really enjoy your videos,you two are so funny,you’re such a great couple. You got some lovely treasures,those signed originals from the 1800’s,wow! Im always liking and watching your channel. Thankyou & Cheers!
Your chairs are just fantastic you sure had a bargain and the red sette wow the cutlery you couldn’t buy it today just lovely I liked everything to be honest
Thank you for taking me a long with you on a delightful trip to "get the beautiful items". Loved all of them, am waiting ---- patiently ---- for the "reveal" , because it will be worth it to see your beautiful "redo's/makeovers". Y'all have achieved so much in such a short time.❤❤
You are so very kind. We were lucky to get these amazing items. We will be so excited once we have fabrics to upholster these wonderful things. Thank you so much. 😊😊😊
Ooh la la, j'adore tous! I was going to say did you two win the lottery, 😉 great finds. I think the Louis XVI set might be french oak. Aw, I feel your pain.
The Painted Louie XVI salon set Is wonderful! The quality is very good. You may find a cabinet makers signature on the underside of the frames when you change the fabric. I hope you can get the new white paint off with out ruining the old painted finish. You could do a whole vlog series on this salon set.
You are such a wonderful friend. Thank you so much. We are so impatient about the kitchen. We are making progress. 😊😊😊 and indeed, the settee is adorable and comfy. Love from Colombe. 🥰😍💕
OMG . . .you made some amazing purchases. That salon suite is awesome. I don't know how you can resist those auctions - unbelievable treasures. . I'd be broke if I lived there...LOL.
Wow you got some nice stuff. The chairs, settee, paintings, I especially liked the women next to the column with feather in hand, the rug. All so nice. I love seeing all this. And the furniture that needs new coverings. Beautiful. Yes Terry has done great work on upholstering his furniture. You two are too funny when sitting together talking. I laugh at your humor. 😀
Thank you so much. We did get quite lucky! 😊. The artwork is lovely and I also love the lady next to the column. We are looking forward to Terry’s one on one upholstery instructions. ❤😊❤. Love your comment. Hugs
Oh my, the 5 piece sofa and four arm chairs......speechless! Yes, wrangle Terry to help with the upholstery workshop and Maker and Manor youtube channel, Sara and Steve, know THE best shops in Paris for fabric! But, please, save the old fabrics and they can make very sweet sachets for lavender and rosemary! Treasures! Cheers!
Who has more fun than you two! I always enjoy watching your adventures. Of all the vlogs I watch about people who have purchased a chateau, you guys are the ones I want to meet the most. I love your senses of humor and the way you make things fun regardless of the situation.
That is so nice of you. Thank you very much. 😊😊😊. We’d be honored to welcome you here, when you are on your tour through France, meeting all us crazy people. Love it. And hugs from us at Colombe to you. 🌹🌸👍🏻💖🥰💖
I too really enjoy the filming going along looking at the countryside and the fairy-tail villages, how beautiful it all is. You purchases are so beautiful, and the history is fascinating. I loved so much of it. I especially liked the art work haul! WOW! Beauregard, also looked like another fairy-tale castal stright from Disney as well. 😘😘
You both have good taste, I love all the pieces you purchased. You may be proud to have the pieces of Louis the XVI. With Louis and Marie Antoinette the reign of the Royals stopt. I hope you can find the textile to make it look more beautiful. Please keep laughing it will help to stay positive 👍 Paris is such a beautiful City...with lots of Historie. Hugs 🥰😘
Great treasures all around and love the history behind the pieces. I too appreciate that you include the drive and the beautiful scenery in your vlogs. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
OMG did you buy the entire contents of the auction... Hahah. I loved this episode and I love to see all of your fun and gorgeous purchases for your own chateau. I live vicariously through your videos . Living in Toronto Canada French furniture and decorative objects are few and far between and when you do find them they cost the earth! So I love to see the joy that you get from purchasing these beautiful items for your home. Envious I am but very happy that you get to enjoy and then in turn so do I by watching your vlogs. Bravo!!!!
What a wonderful story about the salon set from Chateau de Beauregard! I imagine the personal historical context makes it even more treasured. Such special pieces certainly deserve getting some help in the fabric choice and guidance from Terry on their restoration. (And a good excuse for a get-together!!)
Hello my friend. Larry, that was truly amazing. And going to Beauregard was wonderful. It is a great excuse to get together with Terry and Ash. They have become wonderful friends. 😊. Hope your spring in on its way. We have tulips bin bloom….. 😮. Love it here. Hugs from us. 😊😊😊
You are so nice and I want to thank you for your kindness and comments. 😊. We are making progress and indeed, good things are happening. Hugs from us at Colombe. 💖💕💖
How fun to see your finds it’s so enjoyable when you get that special piece. I can’t wait to see what they look like all fixed up. The chairs my goodness with the rush seats are beautiful.
What a fantastic haul! And the age of that set you were sitting on, just wonderful. Looking forward to seeing all the restorations, but I know the journey to getting it all done will be so enjoyable to watch. Thank you both for taking us along.
It was quite something…. And indeed, the age of the set…. Who sat in there and chatted….. about what? So curious. The restorations will take a while and I have to learn to be patient……. Old dog and new tricks. Hmmmmm 😂😂😂😂. Thank you for being part of this journey. Hugs. 😊😊😊
oh my, I want the marble pastry table. Love the Louis xvi couch and chairs, can't wait to see what you cover it in and gilding the wood? You could leave a note inside chairs when you upholster telling their history for future
You guys got some great treasures…love the chairs and the pictures are just beautiful. The striped settee is lovely. Love your channel and still watching from PA, USA.
I am smiling as I watch this. I am so very happy for you both; so much in the works and all your purchases have turned out to be perfect ! Chateau de Colombe is on the way to being spectacular . So much to look forward too. Happy you had a break from all the laborious chores.
You two never fail to deliver, whether it’s inside work, outside work or your latest shopping adventures! Patrick, I hope you’re feeling better soon; Stewart, I hope (and trust) your ankle has recovered so you can plough ahead with whatever your next project is. You’re an inspiration to us all. 😉🎉👍🏻🥳
Your comment is just stellar. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Much love from us here at Colombe. ❤😊❤. I’m better and Stuart is recovering too. Thank you for asking. 😊
I absolutely gasped when I saw those striking 10 chairs in that condition!! What a fabulous addition for your Chateau. All the items you purchased are exquisite taste. I am so excited to see as time goes by where all the items will be placed and used. Update on the kitchen!! Can hardly wait!!
Ohhhhh. The set of chairs, same style as the buffet…. Yay 😊😊😊. I agree with you. It is going to be fun to see where items end up. Ok….. the dining chairs are not a big surprise 😂😂😂. Love from Colombe. ❤❤❤
Wonderful finds,,you two are surely moving along and I can't wait to see how the new set turns out after your lesson from Terry,,he's such a talented and great guy too! ❤😊
Wow what a fantastic find you both did get some beautiful treasure 's loved every one off them you are so lucky,but you both deserve them, and you have some work to do on some but you can work your magic and they will be perfect I am sure, and wow what a chateau it was stunning, lovely video Patrick and Stuart see you both soon take care 💕🌼🤗🥰
I rewatched Rebuilding Notre Dame & realized I made another mistake. It isn't toxins that were removed from the formula, it was potash that was taken out, which later made the stained glass start to degrade.
Did I see “The Three Musketeers?” 😮 It’s my absolute favorite series of books of all time! If you haven’t read it already, you’ll love it!! It’s so descriptive of the landscapes and people, so adventurous, humorous, and lovely!
Yes indeed. The books were printed over 100 years ago. I just read a few pages of 20 years later. 😊😊😊. I know what you mean. Amazing writing. Hugs. 😊😊😊
How did I know your treasures would be awesome! OMG it had to be fun bidding on those and picking them up at the chateau! Stunning settee and carpet! Each item has its own splendor! Amazing deals, my jaw dropped! I love the images of women - my grand bathroom is women themed with similar images of women in and around that time, along with figurines. My daughter and I had it made for "girls only" Son and hubby not let in to use. LOL OH it will be so fun to have an upholstery lesson with Terry, he is so talented.
The auction items are wonderful additions, especially those from the Chateau de Beauregard . The original fabric on the chair is spectacular and I hope you can find something like it when you go fabric shopping in Paris. You both deserve fun breaks, as you are constantly working. Pace yourselves, as Patrick mentioned pain medication, probably from overdoing it lifting heavy items. Everything will come together and you want to enjoy things in good health. BTW, I haven’t told Stuart that I like the intro footage prepared and of course the music. You guys are doing a great job !! Take care my friends, Ralph Rocchiccioli
Well I'm tickled to pieces for you. Love the furniture. Boys. Love you. Stuart hope you're better. Sorry you feel bad Pat
I love the oval picture with the flowers. Gorgeous!
Beautiful treasures, guys. As always few good laughs. Thanks. The more the merrier.

Too me the story of the furniture's history is as valuable as furniture itself. Great pieces
You guys are delightful!!!

That flower oval painting needs to be in the room with the bed crown you did
Loved the items you acquired - always look forward to your weekly vlogs. 🇦🇺🇿🇦
I love the flannel shirts. They look great on you two.
Love your ending! Just be you!! LOL! I've been working on that for a while. Nice setee and very exciting that you got it from another chateau! See you Friday! Much love!
I really enjoy your videos,you two are so funny,you’re such a great couple. You got some lovely treasures,those signed originals from the 1800’s,wow! Im always liking and watching your channel.
Thankyou & Cheers!
Your taste is impeccable!
Thank you! ❤️
I literally watched thinking 'Oh that's nice!', 'I would love those!' and 'Perfect!'. The sofa and salon chair set is stunning too!
Your chairs are just fantastic you sure had a bargain and the red sette wow the cutlery you couldn’t buy it today just lovely I liked everything to be honest
wonderful lots you bought and the one from that château once recovered perfect and i'm sure you will have fun with terry upholstering
Thank you for taking me a long with you on a delightful trip to "get the beautiful items". Loved all of them, am waiting ---- patiently ---- for the "reveal" , because it will be worth it to see your beautiful "redo's/makeovers". Y'all have achieved so much in such a short time.❤❤
You are so very kind. We were lucky to get these amazing items. We will be so excited once we have fabrics to upholster these wonderful things. Thank you so much. 😊😊😊
WOW! What a great haul!
I could just hug you both....you are so adorable. Love the purchases. I love the floral in oil with that fabulous frame with the bow.
Thank you so much! 💕
Awesome…can’t wait to see the pieces with their new fabrics…you are both so funny and real..looking forward to seeing your kitchen update too ❤️…
You two were so enjoying yourselves. It was fun and I am once again jealous of your treasures! Love ya❤
I love seeing your antiques! Great haul !!!!
Ooh la la, j'adore tous! I was going to say did you two win the lottery, 😉 great finds. I think the Louis XVI set might be french oak. Aw, I feel your pain.
The Painted Louie XVI salon set Is wonderful! The quality is very good. You may find a cabinet makers signature on the underside of the frames when you change the fabric. I hope you can get the new white paint off with out ruining the old painted finish. You could do a whole vlog series on this salon set.
Love your beautiful finds!
Love ALL YOUR EPISODES! Keep them coming and can hardly wait for kitchen changes. The recent antiques are fab. My favorite is the settee.
You are such a wonderful friend. Thank you so much. We are so impatient about the kitchen. We are making progress. 😊😊😊 and indeed, the settee is adorable and comfy. Love from Colombe. 🥰😍💕
OMG . . .you made some amazing purchases. That salon suite is awesome. I don't know how you can resist those auctions - unbelievable treasures. . I'd be broke if I lived there...LOL.
🎉🎉Excited for you! Great finds.. just look at the projects as future video lol. Love you both❤ 😘
Wow you got some nice stuff. The chairs, settee, paintings, I especially liked the women next to the column with feather in hand, the rug. All so nice. I love seeing all this. And the furniture that needs new coverings. Beautiful. Yes Terry has done great work on upholstering his furniture. You two are too funny when sitting together talking. I laugh at your humor. 😀
Thank you so much. We did get quite lucky! 😊. The artwork is lovely and I also love the lady next to the column. We are looking forward to Terry’s one on one upholstery instructions. ❤😊❤. Love your comment. Hugs
Oh my, the 5 piece sofa and four arm chairs......speechless! Yes, wrangle Terry to help with the upholstery workshop and Maker and Manor youtube channel, Sara and Steve, know THE best shops in Paris for fabric! But, please, save the old fabrics and they can make very sweet sachets for lavender and rosemary! Treasures! Cheers!
Who has more fun than you two! I always enjoy watching your adventures. Of all the vlogs I watch about people who have purchased a chateau, you guys are the ones I want to meet the most. I love your senses of humor and the way you make things fun regardless of the situation.
Thanks so much!!❤️
That is so nice of you. Thank you very much. 😊😊😊. We’d be honored to welcome you here, when you are on your tour through France, meeting all us crazy people. Love it. And hugs from us at Colombe to you. 🌹🌸👍🏻💖🥰💖
Wonderful auction finds!!! Looking forward to Friday...
I too really enjoy the filming going along looking at the countryside and the fairy-tail villages, how beautiful it all is. You purchases are so beautiful, and the history is fascinating. I loved so much of it. I especially liked the art work haul! WOW! Beauregard, also looked like another fairy-tale castal stright from Disney as well. 😘😘
It is very obvious you are both having the time of your life - warms my heart to watch ❤️
Thank you so much. We do live in a dream come true world. Love that you are joining our crazy life. Hugs from Colombe. 💖👍🏻🥰
You both have good taste, I love all the pieces you purchased. You may be proud to have the pieces of Louis the XVI. With Louis and Marie Antoinette the reign of the Royals stopt. I hope you can find the textile to make it look more beautiful. Please keep laughing it will help to stay positive 👍 Paris is such a beautiful City...with lots of Historie. Hugs 🥰😘
Thank you, Gonnie! 💕😍
Lovely pieces!
Oooo got busy and missed the premier. Watching now
👍🏻😘🥰
Like your shopping🙃
You two are so funny and I enjoy watching your videos, aufwiedersen😊
Thanks so much! 💕
I love the strips settee! The chairs, oh everything.
Thank you so much. Me too
Great treasures all around and love the history behind the pieces. I too appreciate that you include the drive and the beautiful scenery in your vlogs. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Thank you very much!
Be you do you❤️
OMG did you buy the entire contents of the auction... Hahah. I loved this episode and I love to see all of your fun and gorgeous purchases for your own chateau. I live vicariously through your videos . Living in Toronto Canada French furniture and decorative objects are few and far between and when you do find them they cost the earth! So I love to see the joy that you get from purchasing these beautiful items for your home. Envious I am but very happy that you get to enjoy and then in turn so do I by watching your vlogs. Bravo!!!!
What a wonderful story about the salon set from Chateau de Beauregard! I imagine the personal historical context makes it even more treasured. Such special pieces certainly deserve getting some help in the fabric choice and guidance from Terry on their restoration. (And a good excuse for a get-together!!)
Hello my friend. Larry, that was truly amazing. And going to Beauregard was wonderful. It is a great excuse to get together with Terry and Ash. They have become wonderful friends. 😊. Hope your spring in on its way. We have tulips bin bloom….. 😮. Love it here. Hugs from us. 😊😊😊
Mes Très chers Seigneurs de Colombe, mes sincerest compliments as an art historian! Très beau!!! 👌👌👌
You two are a delight, and so fun to watch! So many good things going on at your chateau! I wish you all the best always! Hugs!
Thank you so much!
You are so nice and I want to thank you for your kindness and comments. 😊. We are making progress and indeed, good things are happening. Hugs from us at Colombe. 💖💕💖
How fun to see your finds it’s so enjoyable when you get that special piece. I can’t wait to see what they look like all fixed up. The chairs my goodness with the rush seats are beautiful.
Thank you so much indeed the lot at an auction you really want….. Those 10 chairs are fantastic! We truly got lucky. Hugs from Colombe. ❤😊❤
What a fantastic haul! And the age of that set you were sitting on, just wonderful. Looking forward to seeing all the restorations, but I know the journey to getting it all done will be so enjoyable to watch. Thank you both for taking us along.
It was quite something…. And indeed, the age of the set…. Who sat in there and chatted….. about what? So curious. The restorations will take a while and I have to learn to be patient……. Old dog and new tricks. Hmmmmm 😂😂😂😂. Thank you for being part of this journey. Hugs. 😊😊😊
oh my, I want the marble pastry table. Love the Louis xvi couch and chairs, can't wait to see what you cover it in and gilding the wood? You could leave a note inside chairs when you upholster telling their history for future
I love the oil painting of the flowers. You got a lot of wonderful things. They will look wonderful in your new home.
I’m drooling over those dining chairs!
You guys got some great treasures…love the chairs and the pictures are just beautiful. The striped settee is lovely. Love your channel and still watching from PA, USA.
You two crack me up. Loved the episode crack on!
I am smiling as I watch this. I am so very happy for you both; so much in the works and all your purchases have turned out to be perfect ! Chateau de Colombe is on the way to being spectacular . So much to look forward too. Happy you had a break from all the laborious chores.
What a lovely comment. There are so many things in the making….. I love your outlook for the chateau. I share your vision. Thank you. 😘💖💕
You two never fail to deliver, whether it’s inside work, outside work or your latest shopping adventures! Patrick, I hope you’re feeling better soon; Stewart, I hope (and trust) your ankle has recovered so you can plough ahead with whatever your next project is. You’re an inspiration to us all. 😉🎉👍🏻🥳
Your comment is just stellar. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Much love from us here at Colombe. ❤😊❤. I’m better and Stuart is recovering too. Thank you for asking. 😊
I absolutely gasped when I saw those striking 10 chairs in that condition!! What a fabulous addition for your Chateau. All the items you purchased are exquisite taste. I am so excited to see as time goes by where all the items will be placed and used. Update on the kitchen!! Can hardly wait!!
Ohhhhh. The set of chairs, same style as the buffet…. Yay 😊😊😊. I agree with you. It is going to be fun to see where items end up. Ok….. the dining chairs are not a big surprise 😂😂😂. Love from Colombe. ❤❤❤
How exciting 😍😍😍😍😍
It was amazing….. ❤❤❤
Love the flower painting!
Love all the things you bought 😊
Lovely treasures!! Much of the art is very nice
Wonderful finds,,you two are surely moving along and I can't wait to see how the new set turns out after your lesson from Terry,,he's such a talented and great guy too! ❤😊
I’m so impressed with your haul!! We’ll done gentleman!!
Wow what a fantastic find you both did get some beautiful treasure 's loved every one off them you are so lucky,but you both deserve them, and you have some work to do on some but you can work your magic and they will be perfect I am sure, and wow what a chateau it was stunning, lovely video Patrick and Stuart see you both soon take care 💕🌼🤗🥰
What fabulous things you bought, they will look splendid in the Chateau.❤❤
I love 💗 it when you go shopping. It’s my favorite sport
It is the best sport ever dear Kim. We should practice together. 😊😊😊
I rewatched Rebuilding Notre Dame & realized I made another mistake. It isn't toxins that were removed from the formula, it was potash that was taken out, which later made the stained glass start to degrade.
You both have great taste, so excited to see what treasures you’ve found. ❤😊
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you very much Judith. Love from Colombe. 😊❤😊
You being You makes the video better!
Thank you, Derri! ❤️
You are so very kind. Love it. 😊😊😊
Oh oh oh , I just Love, Love, Love every single piece you purchased. 🥰 . I’m At the 1/2 way mark on the video
Did I see “The Three Musketeers?” 😮 It’s my absolute favorite series of books of all time! If you haven’t read it already, you’ll love it!! It’s so descriptive of the landscapes and people, so adventurous, humorous, and lovely!
Yes indeed. The books were printed over 100 years ago. I just read a few pages of 20 years later. 😊😊😊. I know what you mean. Amazing writing. Hugs. 😊😊😊
So glad you went for the lighter paint colour!
How did I know your treasures would be awesome! OMG it had to be fun bidding on those and picking them up at the chateau! Stunning settee and carpet! Each item has its own splendor! Amazing deals, my jaw dropped! I love the images of women - my grand bathroom is women themed with similar images of women in and around that time, along with figurines. My daughter and I had it made for "girls only" Son and hubby not let in to use. LOL OH it will be so fun to have an upholstery lesson with Terry, he is so talented.
Thank you, Lisa! 💕😍
The auction items are wonderful additions, especially those from the Chateau de Beauregard . The original fabric on the chair is spectacular and I hope you can find something like it when you go fabric shopping in Paris. You both deserve fun breaks, as you are constantly working. Pace yourselves, as Patrick mentioned pain medication, probably from overdoing it lifting heavy items. Everything will come together and you want to enjoy things in good health. BTW, I haven’t told Stuart that I like the intro footage prepared and of course the music. You guys are doing a great job !! Take care my friends, Ralph Rocchiccioli
Thank you, Ralph! 💕
