Anyone remembers that tour of the chateau Stephanie did, where she was too embarrassed to show this room? And hoped that one day she would turn it into a jewel box?
Yes, I remember those days.. its amazing isn't it.
Sure do
Stephanie’s doing so well good on her! 😊💕👍💐
I remember!!!!
As Natie walked in she said, "it's a dream"..
Wonderful to see Gerry back, and the dynamic duo in action 💪🏽💐💕
Bless Gerry. He looked absolutely devastated that Stephanie cut her finger. That is love over many years of caring for her since she was born. How lovely to have that.
It was so heartwarming to see. They're such a wonderful duo.
I noticed that too. It was as if his baby got hurt.
He was exhausted from working so long to help her. He kept trying to keep up cause he loves her. Wish she would have stopped halfway just to take care of him.
@@Melissa-fz9tk he was fine and enjoying himself. He’s not so old he can’t manage a bit of wallpapering.
🙏🏻🌷💗💜💗🌷🙏🏻
This room should now be called "The Enchanted Loo" because, well, it IS enchanting. Well done Stephanie and Scotman!
I totally agree
The look on Gerry's face when Stephanie cut her finger is priceless....he loves her so much and still looks after her as if she is his still his charge...such a sweet brother...
I really admire the way Stephanie and Gerald work together so seamlessly (no pun intended) in so small a space and with so many variables to accommodate. You can tell that they've a long history of ease and trust with each other.
So totally agree, it was wonderful to watch.
I agree! And Stephanie, I LOVE this paper!!! Have you shared the details of the maker, and how to order?! Thanks
@@kariswanson5285 🥰She said its from Designers Guild “Giardino Segreto” (Secret Garden😉)
@@mariak9727 Giardino Segreto, Awesome!! A little Lucia (from E.F. Benson, Mapp & Lucia ) never hurts!!
@@sarahblue1914 🥰I had to look that up- I’m not familiar with those stories. Sounds enchanting!💕
i love episodes like this: Work got done, nice people around, great dinner in the end of the day :)
Wallpaper is just right!
You and Scotman did a tremendous job! The wallpaper is absolutely gorgeous !
Compound living as a group looks like a lot of fun. Meals and fun together. In modern times we’ve lost the living together multigenerational within a family and/or with friends.
The wallpaper is stunning. You and Jerry make quiet the team. 💞
Dan is unbelievable. How can he have so many talents? 💞💖💞
Agree
Well I can tell you from one of Dan's video's of his dad facing stones, that his dad is one of those competent ones, too.
I absolutely adore the wallpaper choice! So whimsical and elegant
beautiful isn't it.
Looks amazing!! Brother and sister working together on a project and then calling mummy after to show the end result and be praised -PRICELESS!
Poor Gerry he looked shattered, rest is a must. It was lovely to see the two of you interact.
Imagine how much more peaceful and kind the world would be if all of us had had a sweet, funny brother like Gerry! What a wonderful human he is.
Stephanie, your very lucky to have such a loving warm hearted family. I adore Jerry with his Scottish brogue and his lovely wit. You have been blessed with the most beautiful family and friends. It's absolutely fun for me to watch your family live a life of true love and friendships ❤ Thank you for sharing this with us who love you from afar. 🥰😘💖
Philip is such a gentleman.
It is so great to see Gerry looking so healthy. It sure lightens my heart.
Wallpaper is gorgeous!! Dan the Man is quite the jack of all trades! 💕
That is a dream wallpaper xx nobody will want to vacate that Loo x
Dan! The perfect guy! Gardner, chef, carpenter, maintenance, etc! Is there anything he can’t do?
I love Dan so much! He's such a gem.
Stephane Gerry The Wall Paper 📝Very different You Think You Are In The Garden Very Nice
I think if they pulled the same blue color from the background of the wallpaper, and painted the radiators that color, that they would blend in and disappear into the background. The white takes away from the beauty of it all. I also wonder if a lighter paler shade of blue painted on the ceiling would make the ceiling look like you were looking up at the sky. Taking things one step further if you had someone who could paint soft clouds onto that soft blue color on the ceiling. It would complete the look. Maybe Michael Petrick (sp?), could do that kind of look. It looks dreamy already, but that would take it to another level. IMO. Then when you add those crystal chandeliers. Wow. That’s adding the sparkle to it all.
That’s what I thought too. Also the little bit above the door. If I was close by I’d pop over and volunteer to paint the ceiling with clouds, no problems. (I’m an artist). Sadly I’m up in Scandinavia…
Selmar is also a gifted artist. His portfolio was stunning when he shared it, while being interviewed by Stephanie in a vlog (It was filmed in her bathroom, as they were trying to find a quiet place during a music workshop!). That being said, he may be better at portraits than still life and nature scenes/clouds.
I agree about painting the radiator, ceiling and window casing/sill a complimenting blue. It would make the radiator "disappear". I don't envy the artist having to paint the clouds on the ceiling of the loo though! 🤭☁️🎨💙
Everyone needs a Gerry in their life. You two are a crackerjack wallpapering duo. I wish he could stay forever!
OMG!!! Love that wallpaper!
I have to say that is the most stunning wall paper that I have ever seen!😍😍❣
Gerry and Stephanie are pros at this wallpapering they both know what they’re doing I think Philip. Gerry you are soo full of fun. Kevin remind me of Thomas I miss him when is Thomas coming back . Down stairs loo looks fantastic Stephanie good job and Gerry to good job. Hello mummy and Percy miss you both .
When I heard wallpaper in the loo my first thought was that it would make the space feel too small. I was shocked when in fact it was the opposite. Suddenly the tiny bathroom had dimension. Good work!
The bathroom wallpaper incredible! Gorgeous! Dan is a man of so many talents. The food looked wonderful.
Went to the Designers Guild webpage and Scene 1 and 2 are pictured as connecting… although a table and vase is conveniently placed at the junction of the two scenes. Seemed just a teensy bit deceptive. I completely understand how Stephanie thought they interconnected. So impressed how they made the absolute best of the situation!
What’s the name of the wallpaper? I’d like a proper look at it. Thank you.

From the first time I saw that wallpaper I was absolutely entranced by it. I’ve never seen a wallpaper like that and it makes the room seem magical. Imagine that … the magical loo! 💕
I just adore Gerald. Especially his fabulous sense of humor.
That wallpaper is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!
Absolutely the most BEAUTIFUL wallpaper I've ever seen!!! I'm surprised you were brave enough to cut off so much of the gorgeous foliage at the bottom. And loved the upbeat music. WELL DONE!
The bathroom looks magical with that wallpaper. You and Gerry did well even in the narrow space you had to work in. Dan never ceases to amaze me with his seeming endless supply of talent and energy. A fun and entertaining vlog about a wonderful day at La Lande.
What gorgeous wallpaper! You and Gerry work so well together! Kudos to Gerry for being so supportive to Stephanie.
Omg. That is magical wallpaper. I would walk in that room and NEVER LEAVE!
How is it possible that everyone that stays at La Lande is not only beautiful in looks & personality but also so talented.
Ever the hostess with the mostest! Toilet is lovely too.
Just love that wallpaper, what a decorating team you and Gerry make. And Dan's food looked amazing xxx
Once again elevating something so ordinary into the extraordinary!!! Having followed from the beginning of the channel it’s just amazing to see the progress of the Chateau.
I’m hoping very much to learn about the installation of the Grand Salon Panels in future episodes ;)
yes! the panels :)
The downstairs loo wallpaper is gorgeous, I can't wait to see the room all styled! Great looking meal Dan!
Such a joy to see the downstairs powder room wall papered. Splendid choice of subject matter, color and matching design choice. You two worked so well together and accomplished so much. Bravo! Stephanie, you are quite the worker and organized accomplisher!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, love the paper. ♥️♥️♥️
So HAPPY about your friends getting their own Chateau! I can't wait to see it. What FUN! LOVE the design of your wallpaper, amazing. You and Scottman did a GREAT job! So HAPPY for you guys to be able to go into the bathroom that looks like a painting from an art gallery. Looked like Dan really enjoyed making the dinner, looked really YUMMY! LOVE from Chicago
Yes, excited to see their adventure!
I don't know how I missed this one it is so beautiful watching all of you such wonderful people bathroom is being words well just lovely Stephanie your taste is exquisite ❤
The downstairs loo is really coming along. Can't wait to see it with the coving, chandeliers, and all the other beautiful fixtures. Job well done!
Monet moment in the loo. It’s stunning! I’m envious of Dan’s abilities and energy! He’s a keeper! Loved watching you and Scotman papering!
I love the banter between Stephanie and Dan! ❌⭕️
As an American interior designer I have to applaud your choice of Designer’s Giild wallpaper!
🥰 Swooning at the wallpaper!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You and Gerald did a beautiful job with the wallpapering! Looks so pretty and restful. Xxx
The wallpaper is an absolute DREAM.
Gorgeous
wallpaper!
Gerry's idea of a steamer to pluck Stephanie off the wall was brilliant! Still laughing!
The love between Gerry and Stephanie is beautiful! I only wish Mummy and Percy were there! The wallpaper is stunning!
I kept waiting for Stephanie and Gerry to Facetime Selmar. Guess he will need to wait for his return to the chateau to see the wallpaper. Hopefully all of the sconces and chandeliers will be installed before Selmar returns from his holiday. Dan knocked it out of the park with that meal❣
Unless Selmar watched the Vlog with the patrons earlier. 😚😚😚
I can’t believe Stephanie herself wallpapered this whooooooole bathroom. I know Jared helped but they did it themselves!!! Amazing and gorgeous!
Stephanie has been painting, wallpapering, making curtains and mending furniture in the Chateau for 16 years. She may be 46 now but has a few more good years of work in front of her. 😊😊😊
You know Stephanie it's a chanting that you have a chateau of your very own but the real enchanting is the people that are in your life
The wallpaper looks amazing job well done Gerry and Stephanie 🥂💐
The wallpaper is gorgeous but the best thing was the way Gerry and Stephanie worked together. Working in tandem in a small space is trying. Two people sharing the space is tricky and they did so beautifully!
The wallpaper looks so good! I'm so happy it's coming together! It was so sweet that Jerry looked so concerned about you with your cut finger. Such a good brother and sister duo!
I think you might have to fit a timed access lock, to stop people spending all day there 😂
Yes, I hope there won't be too many problems with guests not coming out of there. The new Instagram hot spot.
Yes it may be the chateau retreat or hideout room for everyone! Or perhaps the designated timeout room?
Issue a no reading in the Loo rule. 🤣
The wallpaper is GORGEOUS! 😍
The wallpaper is gorgeous! Can’t wait to see it all finished. Everything was selected with such taste and care…not to mention Selmar’s hard work on the floor!
Salmar made the floor look like it was there for hundred years. Thank you for the reminder!
The wallpaper is gorgeous. You both did a great job. The food looked gorgeous
Wasn't sure at first about the wallpaper, not really a wallpaper person.....but it looks awesome!! Such a pretty, relaxing, scene, everyone is going to want spend time in there now. The name Giardino Segreto made me think of E.F. Bensons character Lucia and her garden of the same name, I love those stories.
So excited for Steve and Sarah! If they make their own channel I'll subscribe in a heartbeat.
Great wallpaper but Gerry looked absolutely exhausted...❤️🇨🇦
Coming from a long historic, line of female wallpaper hangers, I can really appreciate the difficult job Stephanie and Gerry accomplished. Bravo. First and foremost though, the wallpaper Stephanie chose is the most beautiful I have ever seen. I adore it and look forward to the completed "loo" with the crystal chandelier. Thanks for a chance to see man/woman working together, amicably and having fun too. Mary Ann Recht, Chicago.
One of my favorite episodes. I really enjoy any episode with Gerry. My oldest brother (who passed away this year)and I had a similar relationship and it’s nice to see Stephanie and Gerry interact while working on the chateau.
Sorry about your brother. I lost my sister and still miss play fighting with her and inside jokes about our family.
In all the videos where there’s your cousin, one knows he’s there as soon as a voice is heard that is two octaves below all the rest ! He’s the LaLande Bass sound 😄. Lovely voice !
Lovely job on the wallpaper! Bye Hanni! Hope you have a great time in NY! Great job Dan!
Your "Jewel Box" has come to life.....well done Stephanie and Gerry!!!
The wallpaper is beautiful! The food looked wonderful and your cousin is absolutely beautiful himself!
Stephanie and Gerry are the A team!!
The paper is like walking through Neverland.....SSsooooooo Magical :-)
Love the commotion and life in the Chateau LaLande today, the wallpaper is beautiful. Enjoyed the video!!!
The wallpaper is really beautiful, the shades of blue and the greens, just right.
The wallpaper is absolutely beautiful. There's nothing you two can't do! I haven't admired a wallpaper so much. Gorgeous.
So, so sweet that beloved "Daddy's" advice came through in the dialog of these darling siblings.
Love the wallpaper
As the light struck the wallpaper it really did look sky blue. I thought wrapping the tree around the soft corner was charming. Gerry must have a knight in his lineage, he is so naturally protective of his sister. Dan is such a charming chef. Everything looked delicious.
The wallpaper is elegant and beautiful! Amazed that you and Scotsman completed such a task. Dan’s dinner made everyone hungry. What a talented man he is.
It never ceases to amaze how so many ultra-talented, fun, funny, amazing, hardworking people Lalande attracts. I love everyone there! Stephanie and Gerry, the wallpaper is stunning! Great job, dream team! Nati, Philip, Kat, Hanni, Amaury, the Ians, Dan, Annalise, Kirsty, all the volunteers and guests bring the castle to life and I love being a very small part of it as well, as a patron. Can’t wait to visit in person and soak it all up in real life.
The secret garden wallpaper is exquisite! Well done, you two!
Praying Stephanie is safe and Ok in NY! I am seeing reports of massive unprecedented flooding in the city in the wake of the remains of hurricane Ida…what a time for her to. Be visiting! 😳
Subways and downtown, the Battery to Water Street may be an issue with flooding still for days.All the land south of Water Street was built up by man so is quite low but has sea walls. Hopefully in a week they can pump out lots of the water. Staten island and Queens are very flooded. No one has sent me pictures of JFK or Brooklyn yet. Hopefully Barbados will be safe, relaxing and sunny till the cleanup is done.
This Walpaper is just beautyfull, great Job
fitting for a bathroom having a problem with #1 & #2, ;) .
You're on a roll, Stephanie!
The loo looks like a jewel box! Great job!
"Fear causes paralysis." Great comment.
Y'all are amazing!
It makes my heart full to watch Stephanie and Gerry, the original dream team, work together. I think one of the first videos I watched of Chateau Diaries was of Gerry helping at the London flat?
What a team!
The walls of the downstairs loo look ultra gorgeous, with the wallpaper up, and it is so satisfying to finally see it this way! Looking forward to seeing the rest of this room’s renovation!
The wallpaper would be like sitting in the middle of a water color painting.. so surreal…. And cool 😎..
In Indiana we call them 'elephant ears'. SOOOOO good........one of my favorites!
I wish I had a caring brother like Gerry aka Scotman. He looked so worried when Stefanie cut her finger 🥰
The wallpaper has a magical and enchanted look to it, what a super job you both did!!
This is my 3 rd time watching all the vlogs so I know how things turn out but I enjoy watching so very much.
I love the history and renovation of the chateau, I love France and seeing all the different people staying, passing through and those who have bought their own Chateau’s! I think the camaraderie and community is wonderful. 🌻🥰🙅♀️🥰
Mommy, Gerald , Percy and Stefanie ❤️
The wallpaper is absolutely beautiful! It's going to be a magical loo! :)
that wall paper is stunningly beautiful. And jerry was so concerned steffanie when you showed him your finger yes he is a lovely brother !!!!!
