Thank you so much to every single one of you who support the channel and our work! This is a very tricky project that sometimes can be disheartening, but your words of kindness and being able to share the journey is such a big motivation! Even if we don’t reply to every comment (we get a little busy), we still read every single one and we always recognise the ones who are always there! So thank you again, and I hope you enjoy this year long recap ☺️
The monumental job you took on in restoring this beautiful chateau, has been incredible! You have and will have touch every inch of this spectacular place to not only heal it, but make it totally your own.I applaud you both for all your hard work and sharing it with us. I wish you all the best in your continued endeavors. Much love from Massachusetts💕
I think what amazes me the most, in addition to all the very hard work you’ve put into your new home, is that no one got seriously hurt. I’m sure there were scrapes and bruises but no one fell through a ceiling or floor, no one cut off a finger, and no one said “I’ve had enough!” Congratulations on the magnificent work you’ve completed!
You two of come so far in what really is a short time. The level of detail that you each put into the projects you undertake is wonderful. I don't mind telling you how much I enjoy your vlogs but they do make me feel lazy at times in comparison. I am looking forward to the next year of your adventures. Both of you are inspiring me to get off my backside more often. Maybe I too can make improvements in my modest little home if I use only a little of the energy that I am witness to on your vlogs. Congratulations on the progress you are having. Stay happy and safe.
I appreciate even more the efforts you have put into restoring this Grande Dame of a Chateau. You have worked so hard and pain painstakingly to restore her. I applaud you, your family and cohorts for taking on such a huge challenge. Well done! Love and Peace. ♥
Carole and Adrian (& Bethany), Congratulations on your first anniversary on TH-cam! Y'all have gotten so much accomplished and continue to bring life back to the Chateau! Have a great week! Thank you for sharing the journey with us.
I'm blown away by your skills, hard work & sheer dedication. It's wonderful to see your beautiful Chateau coming back to it's former glory. Well done guys!😉
A HERCULEAN amount of physical, mental and, I am certain emotional, energy is breathing the very life back into this beautiful Chateau one amazing reno at a time. Bravo!
I have a small family farm halfway across the world in North Dakota, USA. I have poor skills but have worked on it for 33 years. I am in awe of you both. My heart sings when I see the rebirth of your masterpiece. I have loved architecture since I can remember, and yours is the best of what man can achieve. Blessings on you both.
I got quite emotional watching this! You’re my favourite channel on here. You put in incredibly hard graft to make your home shine again. And the château will live forever because of your work to restore it. Not to mention how talented you both are, no job too big or small you do it with ease and I’m always surprised by how many different tasks you guys take on there. Please never stop making videos, and never stop loving that gorgeous château and each other because I think you are all amazing! ❤️❤️ much love from the UK and huge congrats to you on a year on TH-cam and here’s to many many more! 🥳🙏😘😘
It's just mind boggling how much work you 2 have accomplished in a year. you both are very talented in your own way. I can't imagine how many decisions you had to make over this time. You have to be very,very proud of your work It's outstanding. One of my favorite Clips is you pushing your mother on the swing . I just love that. I hope you both take a break And so much needed rest. It's beautiful
Oh my goodness, I can't believe you did all of this in one year....you two are like "machines" that never stop and achieved so much with really high standard results. I for one, am truly impressed and thank you for all the vlogging and time that you have put into all of your efforts to take us along with you. Congratulations, well done and thank you so much. Your beautiful chateau is looking amazing and is breathing again with life and beauty. You must be pleased as well. Well done!!!! Not only did you work hard but it was a joy to see your parents and family enjoy this journey with you....it was truly a family effort...💝🎉🇨🇦
I totally agree and through all your efforts you have kept your sense of humor and allowed your viewers to see your teasing moments of family fun. Have fun memories with family as fall approaches. Excellent job on your Chateau and making it your own.
WOW, y'all are renovation rockstars!!! If a house had feelings, I'm sure she fell in love with you for bringing her back to her glory days. I love your dedication to this house and the outcome is SPECTACULAR!!! Great job👏❤👏
Absolutely amazing what you’ve both achieved in 1 year. You both have worked on your own areas using such skill and talents- what vision. Can hardly believe your success with using moulds to replace such intricate details on wood and plaster. What patience Carole - so impressed! Replacing full floors . Looked exhausting, but what fabulous results. Well done . Looking forward to your 2nd year 👍🎉
We appreciate the reminder of just how bad quite a few of the bits had gotten - the sight of massive floor timbers in such a state would have sent most of us into hysterics. You both obviously have seen bad building bits before. Probably it doesn't hurt that you have allowed the Chateau to once again become a part of local life. Hopefully this will allow your neighbours to see that your intentions are honourable and worthy of support.
I have so enjoyed watching you two transform this beautiful chateau!! This coming winter should be more comfortable for you too!! Can’t wait to see more!!!
I simply love this type of timelapse! It was such a fantastic look back, and forward, watching your beautiful home come back to life! Thank you for allowing us to share in it's rebirth! It's been such a joy! Congratulations on your first year on YT!
Absolutely amazing, so wonderful to look back at what you have achieved and so much I forgot about. You should be so proud of what you have done, it looks spectacular. X x x
Thank you Terry, we've both done so much in the past months at our own chateau and formed a great friendship along the way. It wonderful that we can share the journey together and support each other along the way ❤ 😊
This is so amazing. I've been watching you from the beginning and clearly had forgotten much of what you've accomplished. It must be such a good feeling to see all of your hard work come together. Thanks for sharing this journey with the world!
Cannot believe I have only just stumbled across your channel, I feel like I’ve missed out on so much - so am currently binge watching my way through, it’s fair to say I am obsessed 😂 The work ethic that ever single member of your family & friends have towards this monumental task is so refreshing! 💪🏼👏🏼
It must be so very satisfying to not only save this historic chateau but even more, to return her to a solid and beautiful grand home. Carol and Adrian, your skills and talents really compliment each others in returning this old chateau to a shining star once again. Certainly the skills of a craftsman/woman, the creativity and patience of an artist, and the determination of a workhorse are needed to do what you two have done and will continue to do to bring beauty and strength back to this once regal chateau. Well done and congrats on a year of accomplishments.
By FAR my favorite Chateau restore on you tube!!!! You guys have such good taste and patience!!! I love the dining room!!!!! Your use of gold in the Chateau is sublime!!! May your journey continue and thank you for sharing!!!!
Yes, you have still so much to do, and yet- you have done so much already, and with marvellous result! It was a pleasure to join you on this journey the last year. And it will be a pleasure to join you in the future to see the amazing results to come. Thank you for sharing and letting us participate😍
So much work, such beautiful, stunning results! You are both artists. Masters of many different mediums. Lovely to see the workings behind the beautiful finishes. Nice to see everyone that is involved and doing what they do so well. Thank you for sharing this wonderful year with us. I am going thru home renovation that is child's play compared to this. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see what 2023 brings! Best wishes to all of you.
PG Tips what an achievement I’m in awe !! Adrian the floor expert , Carole What an 👁 u have and such a worker . The family’s help along the way . My favourite parts of vid are Carole pushing her mum on the swing priceless cherish the times . Also the reveal of the beautiful walls in garden 🪴. We will continue to watch and follow this amazing transformation u both keep me laughing at times take care 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awesome, amazing first year. Thanks for bringing us all along on your journey. I for one, truly love the work you’ve done, and can’t wait to see what’s next. Incredible!👍❤️🏆
Kudos to you for all the work you’ve put in. I’m totally impressed with how you solve the underlying problems in each room, not just slapping on a coat of paint but fixing all the things we can’t see. You have saved this grand old house for another 200 years at least. Bravo, brava. Can’t wait to see what you do in the next year
Be still my heart. The work you two have done over the past year is absolutely incredible and beautiful. I have watched all of the videos but this one surely sums up all the hard work. Hope the two of you take the time out for a fine dinner and bottle of wine now and then. I adore you both for your sense of humor and hard work.
I’ve been watching you since the very beginning. I can’t believe it’s been a year. Congratulations, you have worked so hard and have done so much. I look forward to each and every video, thank you for sharing.
AMAZING!!! How do you know exactly what to do in every crumbling, broken and rotted situation AND then make it FABULOUS! Your videos are wonderful tutorials and your adventure is definitely inspiring! Thanks for letting us go along with you!
Thank you it has been fabulous !! I discovered your channel in March when you made the replacement curtain tie back in for the dinning room . As a result l bought some ormulo nineteenth century ones on ebay for my drawing . Thank you for the inspiration Have every one since congratulations it is amazing what you are doing Kind regards Nicholas 😊
I am extremely happy that your whole family are talented enough to complete the inside and outside of this amazing building, redoing it again and bringing it to life again, some thing I know I cannot do it’s way too much work. I am so happy that you are all strong enough to do it, I send you much blessings and good wishes for the rest of the new year. That comes and I pray that you finish your beautiful home soon and live happily ever after. Rosemary From Long Beach, California 🌹
You two are AMAZING! You have done so, So SO much work already! I am in awe of your carpentry and design skills! Keep up the fantastic work and I look forward to the next year!
I actually felt quite tearful watching this 🥺 I'm blown away with the amount of hardwork, grit and determination you are both putting into restoring your Château. It is truly beautiful 🧡
Amazing work, you both have achieved a lot over the past year. With some challenges along the way you have done a fabulous job of restoring everything. 👍
I know in the past year you've both have had a love, hate relationship with the chateau, Hating it when things became stubborn or looked impossible. Loving it when you reveal the beauty and your visions for the chateau becomes reality. Remember to take time out for yourselves, because you both work so very hard. Thank you for allowing us to share your dreams for this lovely chateau. I'm excited to see what the future has in store.
What a journey so far! Lovely to be reminded of how much has been done. I’m glad you get something back from us viewers as we get so much from you. Looking forward to the next year of vlogs. Thank you for including us in your busy lives.
Oh my, the center medallion is breathtaking. Carole, you have a great innate sense of balance with the gold. It’s glamorous and tasteful. I love how patient and sweet Adrian is with your time in your favorite French boutique. Hugs to both of you!
It’s been an absolute pleasure to watch you this last year, I love your attention to detail and nothing is bodged it’s all done in the right way to last for years to come, looking forward to the next year x
Wow all that hard work within one year unbelievable, you should be soo proud of yourselves and the family just wow absolutely beautiful no stunning congratulations to you all x 💕🌼🌼🤗
It's amazing to see all the hard work you have done in a year! You've made tremendous progress! I can't wait to see what this coming year brings! You're creating a gorgeous home! Love from Vermont
That chateau and the hundreds of people who have lived there throughout the centuries must be smiling down on you so brightly. What you two have accomplished, with some help from the family, is quite phenomenal. I think your chateau is a jewel box and both of your attention to detail so impresses me. Great job!!
That’s an incredible amount of work you got completed in one year. It was sweet to see your mom and dad helping. The rooms you both worked on turned out beautifully.
So much progress in just one year!! The salon alone is astounding!! So much mad respect for the attention to detail and eye for design throughout - can't wait to see what you've achieved at the end of year 2!! Congrats on so much wonderful progress, and thank you for sharing it all with us!
You've really done an amazing amount of work. I remember all of these clips from over the past year. Carol, your attention to detail is so admirable. Adrian, you do the most disgusting jobs and still smile. Carol's mom is slogging along with you too. What a dear. Fortunately, you have such spectacular interiors to work with. Carol, you really are amazing. Maybe it's clever camera work, but from here, it looks perfect. Bravo!
I may not comment every time but watch your journey. You both along with help from family have already made massive improvements and doing a beautiful job. Hats off to you both, your attention to detail and recreating pieces that are missing or not perfect is unbelievable in how you make it all come together. All the painting, flooring, electrical , gilding, and so much more takes my breath away. I am in awe. Here’s to another year… hard work pays off and this château is coming more alive each day. I’m sure the town folks are just as amazed. Thank you for sharing your journey. Much love and hugs from Northern California. 🤗😘❤️🙏💫☮️🇺🇸
It's absolutely unbelievable how much you have accomplished in just a year! Thanks for an amazing video, Beth! Look forward to watching future projects!
You have achieved so much in one year. Renovating a chateau is a massive task and you are progressing brilliantly. I like the mix of activities and the way you each have your separate tasks. Super watching....
I admit that I had forgotten just how dirty and overgrown everything was at the start of your channel. The amount of cleanup and the improvements everywhere is incredible. I admire you both for all the hard work, drive and talent you show in everything you do. It really is beautiful.
I love watching Chateaux renovations. Your renovation has been the best. Absolutely perfect, beautiful and precise. No skipped corners. So much detail put back into the chateaux. The woman is so very talented and so is the man. Perfect- keep these videos coming cause I can’t wait to see what’s next. Thank you.
Even though I follow you every week, it is still mind-blowing to see the volume of work you have done in one year, not to mention how much of was such hard physical labor or endless sanity-challenging picky detail work. Equally staggering is the depth and breadth of DIY skills and knowledge you each have. Oh, and energy! Congratulations and thanks for bringing us along.
I had a busy week and I only had a chance to see this today. Oh my, I had forgotten so much! All your hard work. All the beautiful design choices. And the gardens….so amazing. You are thanking your viewers, but, really, we need to thank you. This is such a joy to watch. Thank you so much.
You have done so much in such a short time, you put us to shame. We have been in our fixer upper (Canada) for 10yrs and still the first two rooms are not complete. As I watch you I think if only I was younger and not protected by my husband from over doing things. I think I should just get on and do the work.... You both are an inspiration and deserve recognition for what you have accomplished with a little help from family but mostly it is you two. Your vision is amazing and then you bring it to fruition. I love watching your vlogs and it is the first one I go to out of all the new ones that pop up on my feed. Thank you.
wow, what difference 365 days make. The transformation is just stunning, the blood sweat and tears (some of joy) you have put into making this Chateau your home is remarkable. what an achievement you have overcome so far, this beautiful home will last you your lifetime and beyond. Thank you for taking us on your journey, Carole and Adrian your dedication and grit you put into making Chateau de la Ferte your home is truly amazing. Happy anniversary and on to the next 365. Can't wait Love from NY.
You've both done an amazing job since you moved into the Chateau. You're incredibly hard working and your attention to detail is great to see. Wishing you both continued success in following your dream to restore the chateau
17:49 what an amazing chronicled time lapse video of your accomplishments. Bravo!!🎉 For the amount of detail in this restoration it’s incredible you have done all of this in just the first year!!
You are doing the most stunning work bringing your home to life. I live in rural Australia and we are renovating an old bank into our forever home. For our family and the children I care for. I love how you show the building the respect of its age and grandeur. Looking forward to seeing all you achieve in the following year. Best wishes Janfrey Armstrong
You two are amazing. You tackle each project with such dedication and enthusiasm and perseverance. Kudos I am amazed at all of the skills you have developed along the way. The results are beautiful
I am so amazed at the hard work and transformation you have both accomplished. You are inspiring this 56 year old women to get up and get projects down. I thoroughly enjoy watching you.
You have accomplished so very much in this first year. It's amazing! All the hard work and attention to detail is appreciated, at least by me! Great job. Now crack on for next year! 😄
Watching this just shows how far you've progressed in the last 12 months. Outstanding results so far. No doubt many frustrations along the way, but will be so worth it in the end.
It is incredible how much heavy work you have managed to accomplish. It’s so beautiful to see! Congratulations on one year of sharing your progress with us. Thank you and best wishes!

It's a slow process, but we are making progress!

Oh my, the center medallion is breathtaking. Carole, you have a great innate sense of balance with the gold. It’s glamorous and tasteful. I love how patient and sweet Adrian is with your time in your favorite French boutique. Hugs to both of you!

That chateau and the hundreds of people who have lived there throughout the centuries must be smiling down on you so brightly. What you two have accomplished, with some help from the family, is quite phenomenal. I think your chateau is a jewel box and both of your attention to detail so impresses me. Great job!!
I have enjoyed watching every episode and now seeing this one was just wonderful. What you guys have done is truely amazing.

So much progress in just one year!! The salon alone is astounding!! So much mad respect for the attention to detail and eye for design throughout - can't wait to see what you've achieved at the end of year 2!! Congrats on so much wonderful progress, and thank you for sharing it all with us!
👍
You've really done an amazing amount of work. I remember all of these clips from over the past year. Carol, your attention to detail is so admirable. Adrian, you do the most disgusting jobs and still smile. Carol's mom is slogging along with you too. What a dear.
Fortunately, you have such spectacular interiors to work with. Carol, you really are amazing. Maybe it's clever camera work, but from here, it looks perfect. Bravo!
Thank you Ray!
From Ontario Canada….place is looking wonderful. You have certainly done alot of wonderful work in the one year!!! Give yourselves a Pat on the back
Thank you Patricia, I'd rather a massage on my shoulders!!!!
I may not comment every time but watch your journey. You both along with help from family have already made massive improvements and doing a beautiful job.
Hats off to you both, your attention to detail and recreating pieces that are missing or not perfect is unbelievable in how you make it all come together.
All the painting, flooring, electrical , gilding, and so much more takes my breath away.
I am in awe. Here’s to another year… hard work pays off and this château is coming more alive each day. I’m sure the town folks are just as amazed.
Thank you for sharing your journey. Much love and hugs from Northern California. 🤗😘❤️🙏💫☮️🇺🇸
Thank you Mags!
Hello, how're you doing...
It's absolutely unbelievable how much you have accomplished in just a year! Thanks for an amazing video, Beth! Look forward to watching future projects!
Hello Kimberly, how're you doing today....
You guys work like Trojans. Such attention to detail. Really enjoy being part of your journey. Thank you so much for sharing.
You have achieved so much in one year. Renovating a chateau is a massive task and you are progressing brilliantly. I like the mix of activities and the way you each have your separate tasks. Super watching....
I admit that I had forgotten just how dirty and overgrown everything was at the start of your channel. The amount of cleanup and the improvements everywhere is incredible. I admire you both for all the hard work, drive and talent you show in everything you do. It really is beautiful.
I love watching Chateaux renovations. Your renovation has been the best. Absolutely perfect, beautiful and precise. No skipped corners. So much detail put back into the chateaux. The woman is so very talented and so is the man. Perfect- keep these videos coming cause I can’t wait to see what’s next. Thank you.
Thank you Lois. Adrian & Carole xxx
Bonsoir, j'ai hâte de voir ce que vous nous préparez pour la suite ,c'est passionnant de vous suivre ,on ne s'ennuie jamais avec vous.
Merci beaucoup Cx
Even though I follow you every week, it is still mind-blowing to see the volume of work you have done in one year, not to mention how much of was such hard physical labor or endless sanity-challenging picky detail work. Equally staggering is the depth and breadth of DIY skills and knowledge you each have. Oh, and energy! Congratulations and thanks for bringing us along.
Love watching all the love and hard work you all put into these amazing homes.Thank you for always sharing.
A great reminder of just how much you have achieved in the last year. Love your work and look forward to your vlogs every week
I had a busy week and I only had a chance to see this today. Oh my, I had forgotten so much! All your hard work. All the beautiful design choices. And the gardens….so amazing. You are thanking your viewers, but, really, we need to thank you. This is such a joy to watch. Thank you so much.
You have done so much in such a short time, you put us to shame. We have been in our fixer upper (Canada) for 10yrs and still the first two rooms are not complete. As I watch you I think if only I was younger and not protected by my husband from over doing things. I think I should just get on and do the work.... You both are an inspiration and deserve recognition for what you have accomplished with a little help from family but mostly it is you two.
Your vision is amazing and then you bring it to fruition. I love watching your vlogs and it is the first one I go to out of all the new ones that pop up on my feed. Thank you.
wow, what difference 365 days make. The transformation is just stunning, the blood sweat and tears (some of joy) you have put into making this Chateau your home is remarkable. what an achievement you have overcome so far, this beautiful home will last you your lifetime and beyond. Thank you for taking us on your journey, Carole and Adrian your dedication and grit you put into making Chateau de la Ferte your home is truly amazing. Happy anniversary and on to the next 365. Can't wait Love from NY.
Thank you Joni!
You have just gotten an incredible amount of work done and it's all done beautifully. The chateau is so lucky to have you as owners.
What an unbelievably fantastic work you have done! You two are just amazing! Looking forward to all what you create in the future!
You've both done an amazing job since you moved into the Chateau. You're incredibly hard working and your attention to detail is great to see. Wishing you both continued success in following your dream to restore the chateau
You two are a wonderful team. Adrian can fix anything & Carole’s attention to details.

Your dedication and sacrifices you’ve made for the restoration of your chateau is mind blowing. Thanks for allowing us to share your journey.
17:49 what an amazing chronicled time lapse video of your accomplishments. Bravo!!🎉 For the amount of detail in this restoration it’s incredible you have done all of this in just the first year!!
You are doing the most stunning work bringing your home to life. I live in rural Australia and we are renovating an old bank into our forever home. For our family and the children I care for. I love how you show the building the respect of its age and grandeur. Looking forward to seeing all you achieve in the following year.
