    I LOVE your bathroom choices. The only thing I would change is the flooring. If it is currently a wood floor - I'd keep the wood floor. It's always nice to keep character where you can in these amazing buildings. But either way you two are very thoughtful and have a good sense of design, scale, etc.

    Do not skip with the tile. Do not install vinyl tiles and do ceramic in the shower. You will regret it. Also perhaps pull back. Take a good hard look at priorities. You should make the kitchen you first goal. Spend good money there.

    The Notaio (in Italian) or Notary was and still is much more than what "Notary" means in the US. They function as lawyers, and have all the legal power over real estate matters, with the exclusion of involving real lawyers if there is a land dispute lawsuit. And they make excellent money! So your house was most probably upgraded into the 19th century by that family who had the resources to do so. It also means that definitely, one of your rooms was the Notary's office. My bet is that the room with the large colorful niche enclaves on the ground floor was his office - decorated to impress. Because the Notary always had a huge ornate desk in their office (for all the family members and others to sit for real estate transactions), the room had to be big. Also, the old wooden stairs going to the attic are surely early 18th century. definitley not later. Possibly earlier. Safe travels! 😊👍

    • @AustintoAmboise

    Funny, my family lives in England. They love to use those shower coffins too! They give me nightmares! Brocantes have usually got a good selection of lighting. You might have to visit several, but perseverance pays off as I'm sure you know. As long as you're shopping, have you considered a bureau type piece of furniture for the bathroom that you could cut in a sink? I think the richer wood would add some depth to the space. The lower drawers could be storage.

    • @AustintoAmboise
      @AustintoAmboise  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @maximhollandnederlandthene7640 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That door you are right.
      Its probably the master bedroom and the extra bathroom is made for more comfort and privacy.
      The room could be original a sort of boudoir or salon.
      The ground floor could have been used professional.
      Also its posible that the original house is splitted and neighbour houses were parts of it.
      All to look for at the government archives.

    I’d would refurbish the wood floors in the bathroom. It fits more with the period of your house and are easy to care for. We love the fact that our bathroom floors are all wood. They are gorgeous. I think the floral vinyl would cheapen the look you’re going for.

      Wood floors are gorgeous, but we would rather have a durable cover over them in the shower room.

    You mentioned the little door & "dressing room" near the area where a bed was located. The narrow door is called a Modesty Door. Back in the day, it wasn't proper for a woman to be seen "unclothed" (not fully dressed) by her husband, so she would dress for bed in a room outside the bedroom & then use the door to carefully & quietly slip under the covers. A bit prudish for sure, but those were the times in the 18th & 19th centuries.

    • @AustintoAmboise
      @AustintoAmboise  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, the modesty door is what I had heard before. But some other commenters here have said that it was used by the maid to discreetly remove the chamber pot. I have been trying to research bed nooks and modesty doors for a while now and finding nothing about them.

      @AustintoAmboise  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    6:06 It's going to be absolutely delightful!
    The only thought I can offer is about the shower glass. First, in such a small bath you'll certainly need a fully enclosed shower, so, 2 glass panels with one of them hinged.
    Second and more important, typical shower glass is 6mm thick. But you can get 8mm and 10mm. I strongly encourage to get at least 8mm. It will be a bit more expensive but every day you'll be glad you spent that extra bit. I put 8mm in my shower and I'm so glad I did. The 6mm glass shakes, rattles, and feels really flimsy, not a good thing when you're standing in a wet shower.

    • @AustintoAmboise
      @AustintoAmboise  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the tips about the glass! We're hoping the single panel will work how we envision it; it's really too cramped for more panels or shower doors. So we'll see - we need to take careful measurements when we're there again.

      @@AustintoAmboise From what I believe, a notaire would not be considered the same way as any ministry official. Notaires can be thought of as a reminiscence of corporations from before the french revolution. They belong to a distinct corporation, they have a private office, need a diploma ; but they buy their office from the state. The plaques are unique to the corporation.
      Auctionneers have a similar status, I think.
      Taxi drivers also, in a different way.
      Tax collectors used to have a similar status in the ancient regime, with sub-delegations for pressuring down to the lower level. So, no wonder that this particular corporation encountered problems at the revolution - at least the upper level.

      As we explained in the video, it's a tiny bathroom that we want to keep uncluttered. There will be shelves above the toilet for daily use stuff, plus hooks to hang stuff, and then there's a closet right there. Also to clarify, this is in a guest bedroom, where people will have their toiletry bags, cosmetic cases, whatever they're traveling with, that can go on shelves. Toothbrush & toothpaste can be kept on the sink in some kind of holder we'll put there. Should work well and will keep the bathroom tidy. Thanks for watching!

      What a rude comment ! It isn't "circus floral" (whatever that means) but more traditional English. A lot of French people are anglophiles and love an English inspiration style especially when not over the top. Their inspo has a touch of English cottage with a modern touch. Would love such a bathroom myself.

      Je pense que vous devriez poser du carrelage autour du lavabo car la peinture va très vite être abîmée par les projections d’eau. Pas trop de dorures, ce n’est pas Versailles mais une maison bourgeoise. Bon courage à vous.

      Reality hurts, just a matter of tast. 🙈
      I saw and know a lot of people who do renovations, floors and walls properly tiled bathrooms, toilets and kitchens.
      Electricity, plumbing, roofing etcetera.
      Also when government inspection comes it can be a big problem when its not done professional.
      Plywood drywall homes are not their favorite.
      Renovations are not about decoration, some need to find out themselves. 😒

      @@francinevincent4785 yes, a small backsplash behind the sink isn't a bad idea; we may do that. As for the gold finishes - it probably looks a lot more garish in the photos than it will in real life. These are just example photos. 🙂 Thanks for watching!

    Bonjour,
    Cela est trop " moderne" , trop magazine 's picture .
    Il faut de l' authentique, du bois, plus cottage que les dorures de Versailles.
    But no offence, just a strong feeling.
    Merci

      Well "cottage" isn't the look we're going for. We want more of a touch of glam in this bathroom, and we want it to feel modern. 🙂 Thanks for watching!
