- In this episode, we take a detailed look at the Winter Garden of Chateau de Dampierre, which has been fully restored and is now ready for enjoyment.
I will walk you through it, explaining the thought process behind its design, the selection of plants, and the decisions made to ensure the space offers both comfort and elegance.

Handsome doctor and adorable plant specialist. Great video.
The Orangery has turned out nicer than my home. Please keep posting as your progress through the chateau.
You have such refined taste and such a good eye for design. A little paradise!
I love everythingâĶâĶleave the statue without the head. The planters are splendid. Merci from California.
You have such elegant taste. It's a gift, and it makes opening one of your videos a much anticipated treat.
Beautiful and interesting. Thank you for the closed captions and the text graphics for brand and plant names.
Every finished project you show us gets more and more beautiful . I can only imagine what the finished chateau will look like. You definitely have a eye for details . Best of luck on future projects !
Wonderful visit and video. This is a magical place.
The first time I encountered Sabre's bamboo table cutlery was at a dinner in late 1972 in San Francisco. The host--who would become a life long friend, was the ultimate in chic and style. A tall rugged man 14 years my senior, he cut quite a path thru the San Francisco social scene and art world and later moved to Beverly Hills where he flourished in the design and architectural restoration community. Ironically, just last night I learned he passed away at the stylish age of 85.
It warmed my heart to see that tradition carried forward by you. Merci!
It gives me so much joy to see young adults who love and appreciate a garden
The winter garden is exquisite! You have very nice taste! Congratulations, You are doing a wonderful job of restoring the chateau and her out buildings.
Yes, indeed, it is exquisite. The only thing I would add, however, is COLOR! One can accomplish that with jewel-tone rich fabrics or showy flowers. Winter can be cold, dark, and long and indoor flowers can bring a pop of color, joy, and hope in the bleak mid-winter. The gardener is familiar with "forcing bulbs" no doubt. My favorite indoor bulbs are Hyacinths which come in bright pinks and purple/violet & various other colors, and also smell wonderful. Red or deep pink & white variegated Amaryllis is lovely for Christmas, and yellow & white daffodils are always cheerful & make me think of sunshine (I think Europeans call them Narcissus). I think one can force most Lillys (my favorite are the pink & white Tiger Lillys), but I'm not sure about Tulips. When they're spent they can all be planted in the ground in spring. These, or other bright flowers would look lovely in their little glass bulb-vases used for forcing... or placed/nested in a long narrow brass container on the dining room table as a perfect centerpiece. A glass-top dining table would open up the space a lot and make the room more spacious-looking. Maybe a few cane chairs made in the Orient (antiques?) would complement the tableware/cutlery. Maybe a couple of bright pink (or his favorite shade) Rose bushes trained to be "trees" would add some color too and a more subtle scent to the room. Large-bloom orchids come in every color too (purple and pink-violet are my favorite), African violets are easy, pink Cyclamen is lovely, and Desert-Rose too. Red Anthurium looks tropical but is also perfect for Christmas, as is red Gloxinia. Indoor Azaeleas are gorgeous with dense blossoms and come in many colors. Jasmine smells lovely. Chrysanthemums/Mums and Begonias and Pansies are cold-hardy and would do well on the window sills... as would the herb Rosemary which would make the room smell lovely and fresh and could be used for culinary uses. Perhaps his gardener already has some of these and other ideas... but that is just the shortlist! ðâšðð
I'm saving your repley for my outdoor garden here in ghe US Midwest...near Chicago. Thank you.
I really like the green color you painted everything. I also like those trees in the planters ð
Fantastic work! Each new video is a delight
A beautiful couple with amazing taste!
Apparently this is not his partner.
A very warm hello from Atlanta! Thank you for continuing to take us on this journey with you. Bonne journÃĐe!
I can only imagine the fun you are having sourcing the delights for your winter garden. The result is magnificent . I would not change one thing, I love it all.
Absolutely beautiful! I wouldnât change a thing! You should be very proud of the restoration! âĪïļð
You have such potential to create your own weekly show. You have all the qualities necessary , passion , curiosity, the way you articulate and interaction with the audience, the attention to detailâĶ each thing you touch and describe is like talking about delicious decadent food. And so.. you can make lots of money and renovate this estate to an archeological masterpiece. ðððð. I could go on and on but Iâll end with, your channel takes me away from the awful state of our world
Looks fantastic! Thoughtfully placed plants and the interior finishes are lovely! Your attention to detail is lovely. Thanks for sharing!
Magnificent! What an incredible winter escape, full of beautiful fixtures and exquisite plants. Thanks for continuing to share your exciting journey ð
Once again, you have done a fantastic job. It is just stunning! Your exquisite taste shines again! Beautifully done!
So beautiful. I love your creative vision. Keep the videos coming, please. ð
Everything looks beautiful. I hope you enjoy it this Winter. Mabey
you could put a Christmas tree in there this holiday season, that would
look really pretty. I am looking forward to more of your videos.
JeffâĪ
Exactly !
Canât wait to see all the final finishes. The table linens with place settings, along with any additional books and other pops of color to bring it all to final living space for your first garden party. Congrats.
Hi doctor! I thought weâd not hear from you again. Everything is looking wonderful!
You canât imagine how happy Iâm to have followed your channelâĶ itâs very very interesting to know how genius people were âĶ and how genius you are as well âĶ beautifulâĶ I have no words how beautiful your illustration is âĶ thank you from the bottom of my heart âĪïļ
You have such great taste. It's so nice to watch a chateau transformation where they aren't installing Ikea kitchens.
Looks wonderful. And the two topiary at the front look perfect not too big.
yes! I think they're perfect too!
Me 3! Perfect!
But hiding the lighting lanterns behind it :-(
@@ChateaudeDampierre ahhhhâĶ. Ok!! Gotya! ðĪ
@@ChateaudeDampierre thatâs disappointing
Truly beautiful.
Just put a whole lot of large different size candles in the fire place - you can even light them when using the room and mild for the plants and look beautiful !
Thank you for including us in your remarkable project. Calamondin orange is a prolific producer of tiny fruit used for juice, syrup and preserves and has a wonderful scent as do Meyer lemon.
Absolutely beautiful âĪ Table needs a truly magnificent pair of candelabras.ð
you and your partner , have good ideas in design ,your little cottage is perfect ,.and I love the headless lady.
Your Winter Garden will bring you and your friends a tremendous amount of continuous joy! It is very beautiful, well done to you, Daan and all that has had a hand in its creation.
looks beautiful. Hope to see a new video soon
Fantastic! what a beautiful space you have created. Looking forward to following along for more.
Fabulous! So much thought into every detail, and the result is perfect.
What a treat to see your creations. The taste level is 5 star! Love the oversized trees outside.
Very interesting video. Nice to meet you Dan. Learned alot about those plants ðŠī. Everything looks beautiful. Impeccable taste!! Yes, keep the head off the statue. Looks more mysterious..
Or actually get a Venus de Milo or some other Greek goddess for the Orangery/Garden House and put the statue of Mary (with her head intact) in the chapel... I think he has a chapel... or perhaps that is another chateau I'm thinking of. After all, she is a one-of-a-kind priceless artifact of the Medieval French period. It would be a shame to 'de-face' her! ðĪ
Just that I bought it without head, and though it was not a religious statue. and like it like that.
, and the antic shop called me 1 month later To tell me they found a head that might be my sculpture one !
But meanwhile I git used to the beheaded one. And I didnât want any religious sign in the first place.
So I only decided not to fix it ð
Itâs gorgeous! You all should be very proud of all of the work that went in to the building.
you had excellent vision to restore this beautiful winter garden âĪ
Beautiful ! Very Charming space. The trellis work on the walls is a wonderful green color. A Great space for a party or a dinner party. Your planters at entrance would look good each with a large boxwood in a round shape. You continue to show your excellent sense of design and decor. Thanks for your videos!
Thank you for the update! I truly enjoyed learning about the plants and their containers. I look forward to hearing about the progress of the beautiful orchids and the orange tree, too.
I love your enthusiasm and your attention to detail,and remember you can never please everyone as long as you enjoy what you do Thatâs the most important thing.
So beautiful. Just amazing. Glad you are back I thought maybe you left us
Wow what a dream! I love trellis and gardening. This room makes me so happy.
Un rincÃģn con todo lujo de detalles, sÃģlo una palabra, oasis. Os recamiendo un arbusto llamado, galan de noche tambien conocido como, la dama de noche, tiene este nombre por soltar su aroma cuando anochece, lo oleran desde ParÃs. Hace poquÃsimo que os sigo y veo que no sois unos estirados, estÃĄis cumpliendo vuestro sueÃąo con mucha ilusiÃģn gracias por hacernos partÃcipes de esta aventura que el resto de la humanidad, sÃģlo lo soÃąamos. Os tengo una envidia sana pero disfruto de vuestra pasiÃģn por que la transmitÃs. Os deseo que podÃĄis acabar pronto para disfrutar de este maravilloso castillo. desde Barcelona.
Absolutely beautiful!! Your taste is impeccable. I love everything you have accomplished so far on your property. I could live in the orangery. Deborah USAððâĪ
What a stunning space you have created âĪ
Thank you for living the links to your sources. Love that orange tree containers.
very nicely done, nice progress
all looks beautiful and interesting; the plants, the furniture..... and Daan ð
The Winter Garden is very well put together. The plants and furnishings are not overdone and very tasteful. Bien joue!
Ralph Rocchiccioli
Jâai hÃĒte de suivre lâavancÃĐe du projet ! Jâai beaucoup apprÃĐciÃĐ le point sur les plantes avec Daan, trÃĻs intÃĐressant. Merci de partager cette rÃĐnovation âĪ
When you buy plants in the colder season, they react to the temperature difference between the store and outside.
Make sure you cover them with a towel or bag on the way to the car and to the house. It helps prevent them going into shock.
So much to take in and enjoy in this video. Your keen attention to every detail is impressive, starting with the height of the laurels in the caisses à orangers. Yes, lower height of the laurels will give a more pleasing scale to accent the façade. Further thoughts: On the stone buffet table top perhaps consider placing a small statue of Cupid or Bacchus to bring in a playful yet understated focal point amidst the greenery. On the dining table itself, with your choice of the tablecloth, add a low, round, glazed pot with low growing, flowering plants for a discreet touch of color. I love the bamboo cutlery. To âwarmâ the fireplace, use wood or realistic faux logs to bring up thoughts of a cozy fireside setting. The nearby black wrought iron bench will be perfect with its new, inviting cushion and spot of color. For the Mathieu Lustrerie pair of extraordinary chairs you might consider matching seat cushions for reading and teatime comfort. There you see, nothing too overwhelming in my modest suggestions! Certainly not least, I really enjoyed Daanâs detailed chat about the various greenery and soon to flower plants.
Thanks ð
Incredibly beautiful! And your attention to detail is amazing.. j'adore
Absolutely beautiful. I love it all ð
Beautiful and interesting variety of plants to match the space
It's 5am in Melbourne Australia, so excited to see another video.
Well lovely done. I love that metal palm tree!
I inherited the care of my Momâs winter garden so this was close to me. The huge plants have to go into a warehouse when the weather turns nasty. Otherwise, they spend the summer by the pool. All in all Iâve been lucky and pretty successful. One year we brought in plants in which snakes had made a home. My sister was terrified! We had a great laugh. Your plant man is cute and very talented. Good luck, but I do miss the fireplace and sofa in front. You could do gas logs and antique rattan. Hahaha! Good job.
It's beautiful. Lovely. Understated buy classy and so relaxing. Great choices. Love your slacks with the shoes. Be careful not to overwork yourself--holidays are just around the corner.
Beautiful! Nicely done!
I neglected to mention that I am a interior designer. I work mainly with builders staging their models. I pick all the interior and exterior finishes along with furniture, window treatments, accessories and art. I enjoy it very much which in watching you I can say the same is true of you as well.
Ue fois encore le rÃĐsultat est superbe et parfaitement dans l'esprit Grand siÃĻcle. Quel plaisir de voir ÃĐvoluer le domaine sous diffÃĐrents aspects et toujours dans le respect de la tradition sans renier modernitÃĐ et dynamique. Quel bonheur de voir votre passion et de vous ÃĐcouter. Merci pour votre engagement.
It looks beautiful! I really like your sense of style!
Just lovely! It is a perfect homage to Versailles
J'ai beaucoup apprÃĐciÃĐ. Vous parlÃĐ tous les deux avec amour de ce jardin d'hiver et de ces magnifiques plantes.Merci
Sensational!
Absolutely superb taste!
Love your vedios! âĪ
Monsieur Le Docteur, C'est magnifique! It is such a pleasure to see the beautiful orangerie you are creating... such a lovely mix of old and new... traditional and "nouvelle-moderne"... your instincts and thise of Monsieur Daan are impeccable... so glad to see how you are using the great stone table against the wall. It looks as lovely snd interesting as I thought it would... one suggestion: consider turning the fabulous chairs in front of the fireplace so that they flank the table on either side, so that when one observes the scene from the vantage if the center of the room the fireplace will be a focal behind the table snd between the backs if thise fantastical chairs. Also, I love the effect of the "headless statue". Any woman should be delighted to lose her head in such a beautiful oragerie! With great delight and sincere regard
for your project and your generisity in sharing it with us, I remain sincerely yours truly... G
Hahahaha
Mary doesnât share your point of view ! ð
J'aime suivre l'avancement de la rÃĐnovation. Nous avons terminÃĐ la rÃĐnovation de notre appartement cette annÃĐe, mais cela n'avait rien à voir avec la construction d'un chÃĒteau entier.
Quelle surprise d'apprendre que nous sommes voisins au 9ÃĻme ! Je passe devant les deux magasins de la rue Henry Monnier et de la rue Victor MassÃĐ aprÃĻs mon cafÃĐ du matin à La Compagnie du CafÃĐ et en allant chercher du pain chez Mamiche.
It's unbelievably beautiful and astounding amount of work and care. Thank you for doing this and demonstrating it to us!
Beautiful design choices!
Wow, a really cool and relaxing space! ð
The winter garden looks stunning. Love all the plants and I can't wait to see the progress with the gorgeous orchids. Thank you so much for sharing.
Smashed the like button. Remember no signing contracts the SAME DAY as the meeting initially. Are you going to have a Holiday Trim a Home?
Dr. You are such a charismatic motivational person I Thank You for these excellent videos & updates The best wishes and karma for your project and The Team behind the restoration
Delightful space, decoration and plants!
Beautiful for sharing from Sussex, England.
Anthony it looks great, your plant guy is passionate about the plants & it shows! That vanilla plant would never get pods at my home to much labor, haha! Cheers Kirk
I am completely creeped out in the nicest sort of way. Just yesterday, I thought that we hadnât seen a new vlog from Chateau Dampierre for a while and here it is! I know we are all enjoying the progress you are making and the wonderful attention to detail that you are bringing to the project. The lovely fern fabric you used on the one chair you did yourself should dictate the rest of the fabrics you use in the room. Similar in theme but different fabrics would be perfect. What a wonderful spot to which to retreat in the winter months but, of course, the summer months as well. We are all, I am sure, anxious to see further progress on the gatehouse and main house. Living Vicariously through your decorating journey.
I have a pillow with a tropical/palm tree theme with a cute monkey holding an umbrella sitting in the tree as well as a spotted leopard and a peacock and palm fronds and dragonflies buzzing about. I wish he could see it. It evokes the East India British decor era.
The Winter Garden room is magnifique! I really like the metal bench. I agree a new fabric for the cushion would look more exquisite. I also like the marble table which has multi purpose. Your plants are so lush and you have many different types. I wouldn't change any of your ideas except for the Virgin Mother's head. I would find a way to re-attach her head to the body. Maybe with a cement mix. I am in the Legion of Mary and I have a special affection for Her. Thank you
Exactly!! It is disrespectful to The Virgin Mary who made so many appearances in France, Portugal & all throughout Europe! He should get an antique Greek or Roman statue to fulfill his desire for a "headless goddess"... maybe a Venus de Milo or some other Greek goddess for the Orangery/Garden House and put the statue of Mary (with her head intact) in the chapel... I think he has a chapel... or perhaps that is another chateau I'm thinking of. After all, she is a one-of-a-kind priceless artifact of the Medieval French period. It would be a shame to 'de-face' her! ðĪ
I really like this man who purchased the Virgin Mary statue in the first place. I believe he said the statue came to him damaged. I do not think he means to be disrespectful. I think he merely showed us that it is there for now and setting the head aside is better than trying to place it back on without special consideration.
Exact !
Didnât mean to be disrespectful of course
I bought it as a ÂŦ 17th century stone statue Âŧ
And 1 month later I received a call from the antic shop saying they found a head that might be from the sculpture.
So as I didnât want religious sign, I decided to keep the statue destiny and not to repair it.
ð
Thank you for responding. I will rewatch your video too. I understand now that you bought the statue that way and did not know who it was, just a statue when you bought it. I am assuming the head doesn't fit properly. Well, there are famous statues that are missing parts. I just read that many are missing their noses, some arms etc. Some are still very famous. ð@@ChateaudeDampierre
Lovely space! I would be tempted to add maybe one overstuffed chair or maybe a couple more cushions for the Italian bench. The lines of that bench are very sleek and elegant. Beautiful plant selections, I hope they flourish!
Looks beautiful!
You have such a passion to achieve perfection. May I suggest some large stag and elk horn ferns mounted on natural tree slabs and hung on side walls in corners, also some large fern hanging baskets. variegated ficus, the more natural light they receive, the more colour they produce. If you donât mind me saying, that a velvet table cloth may look to heavy and formal in that room and for your cutlery, my thought would be something fresh and light weight with the same green as in your chair upholstery, or even the same fabric if itâs is light weight, washable and better still none iron easy care. Congratulations on your beautiful garden room. From Australia
You two are making a wonderful home! I am enjoying watching the progress.
I actually prefer the statue without the head. Everything is gorgeous and fancy! Thank you for posting.
Wonderful job!ð
Looks perfect just the way it is ð
Very chic outfit ððžðĨ° I love your energy
Je trouve l'organisation parfaite. J'adore votre jeu avec tous les ÃĐlÃĐments et votre rÃĐflexion pour qu'ils s'entendent. Bravo aussi pour vos choix. Toujours le meilleur dans les meilleures marques possibles. Concernant l'ÃĐtoffe de Soane, je vais faire mon pÃĐdant. C'est un motif qui date des annÃĐes 1830-40. Il ÃĐtait produit en France ÃĐgalement pour l'habillement essentiellement. Ici il a ÃĐtÃĐ largement agrandi. Ces ÃĐtoffes ÃĐtaient imprimÃĐes à l'aide d'un rouleau appelÃĐ molette et produit en camaÃŊeux de noir, rouge et vert. Les motifs ÃĐtaient souvent trÃĻs abstraits et proches du cinÃĐtisme. La technique servait beaucoup pour l'imitation des soies moirÃĐes. Encore bravo.
Bon ben voilà ! C est français finalement !
On va encore passer pour Chauvin ! Haha
Je trouve quâune orchidÃĐe sabot de venus irait bien dans cette piÃĻce ! En tout cas câest magnifique ð
Turn the small table 90° around so both sitters can share the same vision from the ambient and receive the same amount of heat from the fireplace.
Ficou absolutamente lindo e aconchegante. Obrigada por dividir conosco
Oh, Mon Dieu. Superbe. I hope that you will put some volumes of gardening or horticultural books on the shelves flanking the fireplace. (J'espÃĻre que vous placerez quelques volumes de livres de jardinage ou d'horticulture sur les ÃĐtagÃĻres flanquant la cheminÃĐe).
Daan is gorgeous!
It is very lovely, very beautiful!!!
A small amount of lace, table cloth on the small table. Maybe oval table versus square, trim the table cloth with a small pattern to match the bench, possibly a stencil design. Maybe incorporate pressed flower cards for sale. Candles in the fireplace, fake or real. Possibly some lamps for coziness. A place for cute garden baskets hanging on pegs. Woven place mats. Locate some plates with green & white, or a flower pattern, or the letter "D" for the chateau name. Those original planter boxes will be the envy of all. Very, very, lovely room. Please post more often.
Such lovely and very intelligent choices for the plants in the Winter Garden! The aroma in this lovely garden, will be most fragrant, and yet not overdone. So nice when having a luncheon or just Tea, Coffee or other refreshments of other types,
Thank you for sharing and love seeing it written in English as well and spoken in this way,
Most everyone does understand this, and in can attract so many more viewers even, I feel this way too!
So much has been done already with your great renovation, and this truly will be everything you ever wanted your Chateau to be in the end! I say this as it seems the longer you live anyplace the more you consider needs to be done and so it will continue forever, but once the worse is done, all goes much better! Then the fun touches, can be added. Enjoy it with your family, loved ones and all guests for many, many years! I am so glad and thankful, to be part of it in this way, at least!
Enjoyed watching ð
