Good morning Patrick & Stuart, I usually make a point to watch your video's last, watching your videos is like a magicians box, you never know what is coming out, but it is all good fun! So today's was no exception, loaded with treats. First of all the goods have arrived which is a great relief so you can settle all of that and use and enjoy. Then the finds at the markets, your stuff is just too gorgeous for words. Both tables, the terrene and that cutlery looks amazing. Can't wait for the Thanks Giving episode. I love that Day, we don't celebrate it here in South Africa but my heart is with the American people in that period. So you have all the goods to "swank" with and enjoy it is going to be some show!! Looking back you had quite a lovely week, Tony and Jane added to the pleasure of shopping and great finds. Enjoy your unpacking and organising of the goods, you will find a space for each and everything, make no mistake. Take care, go well, kind regards.
When you replaced the front gate and painted it all black I thought to myself that the finials would look good painted gold. I just noticed gold finials in this episode. Very nice.
I am reminded of the classic film "The Quiet Man" when Maureen O'Hara's possessions arrive to her new cottage and she is enveloped in memories and love for her old friends. So, you finally got your old friends back, too, Patrick and Stuart...and by the truck load. I am happy the breakage was at a minimum. Good luck getting it all sorted quickly.
Hi there Edward. I love the idea….. I wish we had the time. I’d be sitting there thinking about where things came from. It is such a great thought. And memories do pop up. 🤗. Breakage is indeed minimal. Or we can repair it. Thank you so much for your comment. Hugs. 💖😘💖
How wonderful to finally have your household belongings safely delivered. That sideboard is stunning and a perfect fit for a chateau. It would be dangerous to go shopping with you two....😊
Hi Susan. 😂. I know it might be dangerous. Having the containers here is great and the sideboard and the chandelier are two huge items for us. One day we might Brocante together. 💖😘💖
I used to own a 100 year old farm house that I turned into a vacation rental home when I got remarried. It had 8 bedrooms and a lot of cool furniture. One thing I didn't want people to do was mark up my furniture by not having enough sense to use a coaster. I provided them in every room. Renters sometimes don't care for others' things as well as they might their own. Just a thought.
It’s so encouraging seeing all you chateau owners restoring old Europe……these beautiful places deserve a new life. I particularly appreciate your attention to the history. Where I live in Florida, they’re tearing everything down and building new…..disappearing the past and mass producing places with no character 😢. I just love how ya’ll breath new life into old places. Bravo guys 👏👏👏❤️
Very nice visit with you two today. So happy your containers arrived. Now the Chateau will feel even more like home with your familiar objects. Beautiful finds at the antiques fair. I saw a lot of pretty items. Love seeing your outings. Hugs to the doggies.
Hi Angela. Thank you. It is so nice to have certain things (especially kitchen items) here. And our tweeds since it is pre winter. 👍🏻🎉👍🏻 As for the markets……. It is sometimes hard to say I do not need this (but I may really want it).. 😳. W love going and it is such fun with Jane and Tony. Much love from us at Colombe. 😘💖😘
Hi Michelle. Indeed, we watched last years Thanksgiving episode (like almost every episode 😊). For us it is tradition and for our new friends it will be a new experience. How great is that. We are excited. Hugs to you from us at Colombe. 💖🥰💖
If any friends coming to your Thanksgiving have a TH-cam channel, encourage them to film too. It's so interesting to see what you're doing from a different perspective ☺️
I remember Thanksgiving when I was a little girl. My grandmother would get the jellied cranberry out of the can whole & she would cut along the indentations of the can lines. To this day I still don't care for the taste of it, but I love my grandmother & eat it anyway to remind me of her.
I know what you mean. It is amazing what we do and remember. I love fresh cranberry sauce but Stuart loves the canned variety. I eat if happily. 😘💖😘. Hugs.
Gotta admit…I’m jealous of the quality & prices of products available in French antique markets, merchants & charity shops compared to the overpriced antiques, and garbage at our charity shops here in the states! The fact that America is a ‘one use’ country there aren’t allot of nice affordable pieces available, whereas in France products are meticulously designed and fabricated much by hand then passed down to fill your homes! Take for example the treasures you guys got last weekend. Those pieces; if even available here; we couldn’t afford them. The pieces you got are gorgeous! When you add the objects from Chicago to the things you’ve gotten so far in France; with both of your design talents; the château is going to look *STUNNING!* I really can’t wait to see the spectacular chandelier from IL hung in the grand salon! How majestic will that look?! Be well my internet friends. Hugs, Doc❤
Hi Doc. Thank you so much for your great comment. Love the detail. You are absolutely right. It is a one-use society. I have seen high end antiques in stores in Chicago and NYC but never in thrift or charity shops. The little table we bought for 45€….. Thank you for your confidence in our designs. We will try to do this old lady justice. The Chicago chandelier will be in the dining room we think since we bought the Baccarat gilded one for the salon. I have to take all the crystals out of that one and rewire them. Much love from us in Colombe. 🥰😘🥰
Hats off to Angela Vorhees! She said it, "Very nice visit..." That is what these videos feel like! I always enjoy the shopping trips. I could get into so much trouble at these antique fairs! LOL! It is so much more fun to go to these with friends. Everyone's different interests and the camaraderie just makes the day special. The bedside table spruced up beautifully. Congrats, of course, on the containers! I hope not too much of the really special things got broken. We are switching to Winter here, 70's today, 30's for a high tomorrow!
Hi my friend. From 70 to freezing……. Yes we remember. Not missing it. 🥶 It is great that it feels like a visit. And we’d love to get you into trouble at the brocantes! One day we will. 😉. It is fun to visit them with friends. 🍾🥂🍾 We lost a few important things. But only one, so far , is a sad loss. Now, please stay warm and happy. Much love my dear. 💖💋💖
Such a great feeling when the containers arrive. Dutch movers are terrific--very efficient and talented. Enjoy sorting through your boxes and rebuilding your home.
It is true. Both, getting the containers and the Dutch movers. So true, the movers were terrific. It is rebuilding a home. Love your observation. Much love from us at Colombe. 💖😘💖
I had my stuff in storage for 3 months after my last move. Unpacking into my new home was like rediscovering my life. Happy to see you have your stuff as well.
Your cheerful smiles of delight are infectious, and just what I needed after a dreary, gray, chilly, damp, midwestern November day. Thanks for sharing! ♥️
Hi Peni. That is such a lovely and uplifting comment. Thank you. And, as you know, we know those days well. Hope we can bring some more fun to you and other viewers. Thank you for watching and commenting. Hugs from Colombe. 😘💖😘
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 I'm still enjoying your lovely weather NS blooms... as we still look out over deep snow at the end of March. More arriving in a couple days. 🤣 Seriously, I'm jealous, but happy for you, and happier myself seeing your weather. ♥
Love this unveiling of « your stuff » and new acquisitions ❤ As always love your laughter, adventures, and love you share with others two legged and four legged!!!
Hello Patrick and Stuart,just back from the bank to pick up my new card.Total nightmare.So very sorry about your stolen goods.Have a wonder Thanksgiving with your friends🥰
When I lived in Lyon France; I did Thanksgiving every year. That was back 1991 to 1999. It started with about 6 people the first year to thank the people that had help me in my first month's after arrival and the last year was 37 people. American students that were at the universities there and friends and their families. I do remember that I use to have to order my turkey a month in advance at the hall de Lyon because they don't normally start to sell them until closer to Christmas.. just a FYI . So happy that the truck arrived and it was your stuff! LoL Love you guy's! ♥
Hello my dear John. That must have been quite a party in Lyon. 37 is quite a party. Next year we can cook 2 turkeys. This year it won’t be as grand. But all the fixins! Thank you for the input. Love it. And Hurrah for the containers. Great comment. I might have to have you as a chaperone for Christmas. 🥰😉🥰
So happy you both got your containers. No worries about the late upload. That buffet is beautiful as well as are all of your new purchases. Can't wait to see Thanks giving party. Looking forward to next week. Take care guys.
Hi there Peter. It is great to have everything together again. We love the buffet and it’s perfect in the room. We have a bit of work to set up the dining room and the salon for the party. It will be fun. Cheers my friend. 😘💖🥰
I really like your interaction with each other you're both so down to earth. Just taking things as they come. I think having your own stuff now will make it feal more your home. 🥰🇳🇱
Hi there James. You are absolutely right. It feels like home. We cannot begin to describe how great is was to get the buffet set up in the dining room. Even though we have to empty it again to paint…. 😳🤪. Now the Thanksgiving planning is in full swing. Cheers from us at Colombe. 🤩🤩🤩
It must feel more like home now you have your own furniture and things around you. Loved the items in the first shop and you have made some lovely purchases. Love to all of you Xxxx
Hi Rosa. It sure feels great to have familiar items. The antique fair was fun. So many high quality items. We love our purchase and are now focusing on Thanksgiving. Then it’s full force renovating rooms. Much love from us at Colombe. 🥰💖🥰
I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am for you to now have all of your things. I love your antique purchases and how you polished the beautiful bedside table. The antique store you visited had so many beautiful antiques. I would have spent way too much money, as I liked just about everything you photographed! Love watching you and I wish you a wonderful week. 💕
Hi Glen. Thank you and it is nice to have them. So far we lost a few things we cared about but the furniture I already mostly repaired. But our Wedgwood made it 👍🏻🎉👍🏻. Cheers and happy Friday. Please keep us posted about your progress. Hugs. 🥰💖🥰
Sorry I missed live chat this morning. I was sleeping my head off down under on Friday morning. Love the pieces you have bought for the chateau. It must have been so much fun Stuart and Patrick. Glad your things have finally arrived. Such energy required to unpacked it all. Have a large sideboard/display case arriving this morning! Best with it all, David
So glad you have your belongings now. I bet your lovely dos can smell your old home. Lovely idea for Thanksgiving . Loved watching Patrick and Stuart😘😘😘
Hi Annette. It is a relief. I think you are right. They can smell it. But I doubt they will miss the Midwestern winter…. 😂😂😂. It was great to see you in 2 chats today. Hugs. 💖😘💖💖
A great addition to your Thanksgiving celebrations would be to read out loud Art Buchwald' s article "Le jour du Merci donant" with tongue in cheek literal translations of our traditional Fete into French..
Aah Guys my heart sings for you now that your belongings arrived, noting the Chewy boxes for your fur babies! Thrilled about your upcoming Thanksgiving Dinner and thinking how all sounds in harmony and in peace with the world. Love you Guys. (EST 1:20 am)
Hi Bianca. Thank you. Chewy boxes….. some for the dogs, others we reused. Great catch. We will be prepping the dining room and salon for the celebration. Going to be fun. It sounds wonderful. Great comment. ❤😊❤
Hi Albert. We were excited when we saw it in the catalog. I always loved the elegance of Louis XV. I’m in love. 😘😉🤗. Thank you so much. Always appreciate your input and comments. 👍🏻🥰👍🏻
So happy for you both that your container's have turned up at long last ,now your chateau will feel more like your home. See you bought a few thing's again Patrick very nice, see you both Wednesday take care x 💕🌼🌼🤗
Hi Carole. Thank you. It was great. 🎉❤🎉. And it is true. Pots for the kitchen and master bathroom are different. Yes we try to not overbuy….. Great comment. Thank you so much. 😘💕😘
Yippee containers arrived so pleased for you both. The purchases, spectacular xxx Oh Patrick I so needed to hear your wonderful laugh this week x Thank you xx Love to you both xxxx
Hi darling Helen. I’m glad my laughter brought you joy. So wonderful. Containers are such a relief. And we enjoyed the purchases. Thank you so much. Love from us at Colombe. 😘🥰👍🏻 And thank you for all your support. 😘💋😘
Glad everything arrived safely for the most part. The sideboard piece in the dining room is really handsome with excellent storage. The small table was a great find and the refresh brought out the details. Everything is progressing well. I really like the idea of an American Thanksgiving with new friends. Take care, Ralph Rocchiccioli
Congrats on the arrival of your containers, Patrick and Stuart!! You both appeared so joyful as the unpacking commenced!! Can't wait for your Thanksgiving 🎥, guys!! Yes, we really do go all out on the holiday here in the U.S.!! Blessings to you, the babies and your families!!! USA
Hi Jane. Thank you and yes, indeed……. We are really happy. 🍾🎉🍾👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I love thanksgiving and am looking forward to sharing it with our new friends and start our tradition here. Hugs and blessings from us at Colombe. 😘💖😘
So glad you finally received your things. Looking forward to watching you decorate and renovate at the same time. on a side note... it annoys me how people "inform" you on why you don't need to buy your furniture from anywhere else but from a broconte in France. You can buy what ever the h*** you want. Kisses!
Its like Christmas when the containers turn up isn't it! You have bought some lovely pieces as usual lads. I really do enjoy the outings, love the countryside. I work on furniture a fair bit and often it's simply to keep it out of landfill and to teach. But finding nice little pieces that simply need some wax, polishing and love is wonderful also. And love the bust on the table between you both. 😘😘
Hello there my friend. How is Australia doing? 😜. It is like Christmas. And some things are questionable as to why we brought them. 🤣. The little table was an easy facelift. Keeping items out of landfill is wonderful. Now that terra cotta bust….. We saw one in the Chateau de Villandry on a mantle and fell in love with her. When I saw this at the antique fair I knew we’d have to splurge……. And she want expensive either. Cheers and stay out of trouble 🤩💕😘
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Your episodes are so warm and exciting. You boys really do calmly go through the whole week. And often its funny. I cant tell you how much I enjoy it. And "Hell no" to staying out of trouble!!! We have just had an arctic blast of cold weather followed by 4-5 days of high 20's! Its mad here weather wise but I have been in my gardens a lot. Chat soon lovely. 😘😘
@@cliffhorman6846 💋🥰💋. That’s crazy. I hate temperature swings like that. 😮. Ok. Get only into good trouble (the one that one only talks about with close friends). 😂🤪🤣.
I have had to deal with relying on someone to actually do their job and then them not doing it. And when they don't do their job, it messes up everything for other people. I'm so glad they got it straighten out and you have your things now.
Hey Crinkle. It is frustrating when someone has a job but has internally quit. 😮 Now, everything is here. Yay. Thank you very much for your comment. 💖😘💖
The table is GORGEOUS! I'm so happy for you that your containers arrived. I was so looking forward to seeing your buffet in the Chateau, and also your lighting fixture. I will wait for the lights, but it looks like you have your hands full for the moment. The idea of serving your friends a real Thanksgiving meal is an awesome idea. There are lots to be thankful for, as you have a beautiful new home, new friends, and Nessa is home safe. All the best!
Thank you so much. What pretty wood on the little table. And the containers. So happy. As for being thankful….. you said it perfectly. So much to give thanks for. Nessa, a new home, wonderful new friends and neighbors, a chateau (hasn’t quite hit me yet so I say it again), a wonderful TH-cam community and I could go on. Much love from us here at Colombe 💖🎉💖
C’est un plaisir de retrouver ses meubles et objets dans de bonnes conditions après un si long voyage ❤️❤️❤️ Et aussi le plaisir de réinstaller et recréer un nouveau décor avec eux dans leur nouvel écrin qu’est le château ❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻
Love everything you purchased! I would spend so much time and money in those brocantes and markets! I would need a very large chateaux of my own to hold it all. Glad your containers arrived. It will be fun to rediscover your things as you unpack.
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 That would be fantastic! But taking on a chateau by myself wouldn’t be possible. I have no renovating skills and I’m a recent widow. So doing something like that alone just isn’t possible for me. But watching you and Stuart is so much fun. Wish you could do more videos a week! I know that is asking a lot.
Chateauroux is where my friends' mother lived until she was put into a care home. I don't know what happened to her house there since I have not seen him for a couple of years. That was nice of that driver to help you put the buffet together.
Hi Werner. Chateau roux is only about 35 minutes away. So close. The crew was paid to carry everything onto the chateau. And they are not used to clients helping to unload and carry boxes. It was fun. They were thrilled to have one item that they could carry inside. We all had coffee afterwards in the kitchen together and chatted. It was really nice. Cheers. 💖🥰💖
So happy and excited for you that the containers have arrived, and you made some wonderful purchases. An American thanksgiving in France sounds wonderful. The French did help us win the revolution with the British. lol Wishing you both a wonderful week. 😘
Hello gorgeous. It is such a good feeling. Having out stuff. When we talked about the American thanksgiving, people said: Never participated in one…. So it’s easy. I hope people love it. Tomorrow is armistice day. We are invited by the mayor to join. Such an honor. Much love from Colombe. 🥰💖🥰
Thank you Leigh. 🤣😂. I completely understand what you mean. I have to tell myself that I do not need items, even if I love them. Step away Patrick is my new mantra….. 😂. Love your comment. Cheers from Colombe. 👍🏻🍾👍🏻
So wonderful that you finally received your containers, can’t wait to see what you have planned for Thanksgiving! I know it’s going to be fabulous!! New beginnings are always so exciting!!
Happy Friday Joaquina. Thank you so much. It is great to have them here. Thanksgiving will be a fun affair. You are so right. New beginnings are exciting and will make this a real home. Hugs from us at Colombe. 💖😘💖
Hi there Maryann. Thank you for your comment. It is a big relief indeed. Now the unpacking and placing will be fun. We will also start to paint some rooms (the ones where the electricity is new). Much love from us at Colombe. 😘💖😘
So pleased your "stuff" arrived safely, I did tell you it was like seeing old friends again. Now enjoy putting your home together again. Take care see you next time. X
The top of the little table is just gorgeous and what a lovely idea to have thanksgiving with your new friends. It was again a joy to watch your adventures 👋🙂
Hi Janet. Isn’t that veneer pretty? We are excited to prepare a US Thanksgiving dinner for our British friends. Next year we might double it with our new French friends. 😍. We are glad you enjoyed the episode and thank you for watching. Great comment. Hugs from us at Colombe . 😘💕😘
I can't wait to see how your furniture looks in the chateau especially with your recent finds. It must be so nice to have your belongings again. My mother use to drive around Manhattan and pick up discarded wooden furniture from the sidewalks and refurbish them so I appreciate seeing you bring new life to these pieces.
I got so excited when I saw the wagon come through your gates, wow. I love going on your antique hunts, you always find such beautiful things. Take care, love and hugs. ☺️xx
Hi Treena. Wast that something when that huge truck came in here?!? We will have fun outings next year with interested people to visit brocantes. . Much love and many hugs from us at Colombe. 🥰💖🥰
I love your comment Karen. Thank you. I’m exciting too. Since I first see the vlog in the premiere with everyone. I like it this way. Huge hugs from us at Colombe. 💖🥰💖
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 sending light and love to you both and your beautiful hearts , your videos inspire me to take on new projects and I am not really sure how I came across Journey to the Chateau de Colombe but I have much gratitude that I now have something worth watching . One other thing I want to mention is the people that show up in the chat are WONDERFUL kind people . what a joy !
You guys are so happy and it makes me happy to watch you!! The time lapse scenes are just beautiful and I love going to the brocantes with you!! And I'm so happy Nessa is back home. It's so terrible to worry about a lost dog. Love your videos!!
Dear Mary. That is such a wonderful comment. It made me happy. 🥰💖🥰. Brocantes are fun and Nessa being home is just a miracle. Much love from us here at Colombe. 🥰💖🥰
Your joy and thankfulness are infectious . The buffet is perfect for the room and most impressive. Sending you richest blessings . Love your channel: it's fun and unpretentious . You are both excellent company in a rather dismal world . Making others laugh and bringing joy and entertainment in such a way is a true gift. Thank you.
Hi Clare. Thank you. I love that we are bringing you joy 🥰. The buffet is wonderful. We love it. Your blessings are very much appreciated. That our Chanel and our vlog rings you joy and fun is such a huge compliment. You made my day. 💖😘💖
Hi guys! So wonderful to have all your belongings under one roof (more or less). That piece is the sideboard, is stunning. So much fun to see you go antiquing and what you buy. I was drooling all the way through there! Glad you had a good time definitely got some good buys. Was wonderful to see you both! Sending much love from California. 💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸
Hello there Liz. How is CA? It is very nice to have our things together. The markets here are fantastic. I have to walk away many times. 😔😩. Thank you for your great comment. Hugs from us at Colombe. 😘🥰😘
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Patrick it’s amazing to have that much restraint with so much at your fingertips! Kudos to you. It must be nice to have at least all your kitchen stuff back we all have our favorites. And clothes I would imagine. Never thought about that. Lol CA Is finally fall! We are down in the low 60s And 30s at night. I’m loving it! Thanks for asking. Sending hugs to you both🥰🤗💜
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 how exciting was that? I can just imagine the emotions you were going through. All the effort you put in to find your Chateau. The woof pack wood be revisiting familiar smells. Lovely video and I’m so happy for you.
It was truly exciting. What was funny to us though, was the truck driving into the courtyard. The gates seem narrow, even for a car……. I said to Stuart not to look. And we didn’t. Glad we had the camera. 🤣🥳🤣. Doggies are exploring familiar smells. It is nice to have this all in one place, even with a long way till we are ready. 🤗😍🤗
you two have marvelous taste and I love that you come across good buys. I have to tell you, I pulled a Patrick last week. Local auction house had art etc. from a local interior designer. Great stuff - mostly over my budget. But, I did do what Patrick has done - enter the starting bid on an item and hope for the best. Well I won a few of the items! A few pieces of art and a candelabra. Natch, I didn't read the measurements closely and the darn thing is huge! Like 3 feet over what I thought it was going to be. LOL I have big rooms but this sucker was made for a chateau! Alas, I have it in my hall and I chuckle when I look at it an think of you, Patrick. Nice to know I'm not alone! Looking forward to you decorating and continuing to settle in. Hugs from across the pond!

We will try to do this old lady justice. The Chicago chandelier will be in the dining room we think since we bought the Baccarat gilded one for the salon.

Such a great feeling when the containers arrive. Dutch movers are terrific--very efficient and talented. Enjoy sorting through your boxes and rebuilding your home.
It is true. Both, getting the containers and the Dutch movers. So true, the movers were terrific. It is rebuilding a home. Love your observation. Much love from us at Colombe. 💖😘💖
I had my stuff in storage for 3 months after my last move. Unpacking into my new home was like rediscovering my life. Happy to see you have your stuff as well.
Hi Christine. Now I know exactly what you are saying. ❤. Thank you so much. Much love from us here at Colombe. 💕😘💕
Your cheerful smiles of delight are infectious, and just what I needed after a dreary, gray, chilly, damp, midwestern November day. Thanks for sharing! ♥️
Hi Peni. That is such a lovely and uplifting comment. Thank you. And, as you know, we know those days well. Hope we can bring some more fun to you and other viewers. Thank you for watching and commenting. Hugs from Colombe. 😘💖😘
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 I'm still enjoying your lovely weather NS blooms... as we still look out over deep snow at the end of March. More arriving in a couple days. 🤣 Seriously, I'm jealous, but happy for you, and happier myself seeing your weather. ♥
Love this unveiling of « your stuff » and new acquisitions ❤ As always love your laughter, adventures, and love you share with others two legged and four legged!!!
Hi Katie. Happy Friday. I love your comment. Thank you for your kindness. 😘💖😘
Hello Patrick and Stuart,just back from the bank to pick up my new card.Total nightmare.So very sorry about your stolen goods.Have a wonder Thanksgiving with your friends🥰
When I lived in Lyon France; I did Thanksgiving every year. That was back 1991 to 1999. It started with about 6 people the first year to thank the people that had help me in my first month's after arrival and the last year was 37 people. American students that were at the universities there and friends and their families.
I do remember that I use to have to order my turkey a month in advance at the hall de Lyon because they don't normally start to sell them until closer to Christmas.. just a FYI .
So happy that the truck arrived and it was your stuff! LoL
Love you guy's! ♥
Thank you, John! 💕👍
Hello my dear John. That must have been quite a party in Lyon. 37 is quite a party. Next year we can cook 2 turkeys. This year it won’t be as grand. But all the fixins! Thank you for the input. Love it. And Hurrah for the containers. Great comment. I might have to have you as a chaperone for Christmas. 🥰😉🥰
yeah the buffet made it in one piece and looks fantastic!
So happy you both got your containers. No worries about the late upload. That buffet is beautiful as well as are all of your new purchases. Can't wait to see Thanks giving party. Looking forward to next week. Take care guys.
Hi there Peter. It is great to have everything together again. We love the buffet and it’s perfect in the room. We have a bit of work to set up the dining room and the salon for the party. It will be fun. Cheers my friend. 😘💖🥰
I really like your interaction with each other you're both so down to earth. Just taking things as they come. I think having your own stuff now will make it feal more your home. 🥰🇳🇱
Hi Connie. Thank you. And yes, having certain familiar things is such a comfort. Huge hugs from us. 💖😘💖
Gentlemen congratulations on getting your belongings. Now it must really feel like home. James
Hi there James. You are absolutely right. It feels like home. We cannot begin to describe how great is was to get the buffet set up in the dining room. Even though we have to empty it again to paint…. 😳🤪. Now the Thanksgiving planning is in full swing. Cheers from us at Colombe. 🤩🤩🤩
It must feel more like home now you have your own furniture and things around you. Loved the items in the first shop and you have made some lovely purchases. Love to all of you Xxxx
Hi Rosa. It sure feels great to have familiar items. The antique fair was fun. So many high quality items. We love our purchase and are now focusing on Thanksgiving. Then it’s full force renovating rooms. Much love from us at Colombe. 🥰💖🥰
I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am for you to now have all of your things. I love your antique purchases and how you polished the beautiful bedside table. The antique store you visited had so many beautiful antiques. I would have spent way too much money, as I liked just about everything you photographed! Love watching you and I wish you a wonderful week. 💕
Congrats on the containers arriving! And with nominal damage, apparently. Cheers, gents!
Hi Glen. Thank you and it is nice to have them. So far we lost a few things we cared about but the furniture I already mostly repaired. But our Wedgwood made it 👍🏻🎉👍🏻. Cheers and happy Friday. Please keep us posted about your progress. Hugs. 🥰💖🥰
I found you wild and crazy guys! Miss you both!
Jane! 💕 so glad you found us! Miss you, too! 🐾🐾
It is so much fun for me to watch your escapades ! Thank you for taking of your time to share your life.
Happy Friday Cheryl. Thank you for your kind comment. I love it. Thankful for you to watch our vlogs. Hugs from us at the Château de Colombe. 🥰💖🥰
Sorry I missed live chat this morning. I was sleeping my head off down under on Friday morning. Love the pieces you have bought for the chateau. It must have been so much fun Stuart and Patrick. Glad your things have finally arrived. Such energy required to unpacked it all. Have a large sideboard/display case arriving this morning! Best with it all, David
Thank you, David! 💕
So glad you have your belongings now. I bet your lovely dos can smell your old home. Lovely idea for Thanksgiving . Loved watching Patrick and Stuart😘😘😘
Dogs 🐕 I meant
Hi Annette. It is a relief. I think you are right. They can smell it. But I doubt they will miss the Midwestern winter…. 😂😂😂. It was great to see you in 2 chats today. Hugs. 💖😘💖💖
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 🥰🥰
A great addition to your Thanksgiving celebrations would be to read out loud Art Buchwald' s article "Le jour du Merci donant" with tongue in cheek literal translations of our traditional Fete into French..
That would be real fun. Let’s see how that idea is received. Thank you so much. 💖😘💖
Aah Guys my heart sings for you now that your belongings arrived, noting the Chewy boxes for your fur babies! Thrilled about your upcoming Thanksgiving Dinner and thinking how all sounds in harmony and in peace with the world. Love you Guys. (EST 1:20 am)
Hi Bianca. Thank you. Chewy boxes….. some for the dogs, others we reused. Great catch. We will be prepping the dining room and salon for the celebration. Going to be fun. It sounds wonderful. Great comment. ❤😊❤
Nice to see that you are always so cheerful. Happy that you have mde friend with Tony and Jane. They, like boh of you, seem so charming.
Thank you very much. We are pretty much what you see is what you get. 🥰. Tony and Jane are amazing and we love to go out brocanting together. 💖😘💖
Great video. Looking forward to the next.
Now THATS a cabinet worth having.
Over the moon excited for you all❤❤❤
Thank you. So kind of you Katie. 🍾🎉🍾
The buffet a deux corps is a great piece of Louis XV Provincial cabinet making., It fits so well in your dining room.
Hi Albert. We were excited when we saw it in the catalog. I always loved the elegance of Louis XV. I’m in love. 😘😉🤗. Thank you so much. Always appreciate your input and comments. 👍🏻🥰👍🏻
So happy for you both that your container's have turned up at long last ,now your chateau will feel more like your home. See you bought a few thing's again Patrick very nice, see you both Wednesday take care x 💕🌼🌼🤗
Hi Carole. Thank you. It was great. 🎉❤🎉. And it is true. Pots for the kitchen and master bathroom are different. Yes we try to not overbuy….. Great comment. Thank you so much. 😘💕😘
Yippee containers arrived so pleased for you both. The purchases, spectacular xxx Oh Patrick I so needed to hear your wonderful laugh this week x Thank you xx Love to you both xxxx
Hi darling Helen. I’m glad my laughter brought you joy. So wonderful. Containers are such a relief. And we enjoyed the purchases. Thank you so much. Love from us at Colombe. 😘🥰👍🏻 And thank you for all your support. 😘💋😘
I love the top of the little side table you bought. It is beautiful, even more so after you used that stuff on on it!😍
Thank you Sonia. 🥰😘🥰
Glad everything arrived safely for the most part. The sideboard piece in the dining room is really handsome with excellent storage. The small table was a great find and the refresh brought out the details. Everything is progressing well. I really like the idea of an American Thanksgiving with new friends. Take care, Ralph Rocchiccioli
Fab video to chaps! 👍
Congrats on the arrival of your containers, Patrick and Stuart!! You both appeared so joyful as the unpacking commenced!! Can't wait for your Thanksgiving 🎥, guys!! Yes, we really do go all out on the holiday here in the U.S.!! Blessings to you, the babies and your families!!! USA
Hi Jane. Thank you and yes, indeed……. We are really happy. 🍾🎉🍾👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love thanksgiving and am looking forward to sharing it with our new friends and start our tradition here. Hugs and blessings from us at Colombe. 😘💖😘
I've spotted a portrait of Louis XV on the fireplace. We'll make monarchists out of you yet 🤣
oooo love that wine chiller table. Your purchases are beautiful
So glad you finally received your things. Looking forward to watching you decorate and renovate at the same time. on a side note... it annoys me how people "inform" you on why you don't need to buy your furniture from anywhere else but from a broconte in France. You can buy what ever the h*** you want. Kisses!
Love it! Thank you, Maria! 💕
Oh Maria. I love your comment. 🥰😍🥰
Its like Christmas when the containers turn up isn't it! You have bought some lovely pieces as usual lads. I really do enjoy the outings, love the countryside. I work on furniture a fair bit and often it's simply to keep it out of landfill and to teach. But finding nice little pieces that simply need some wax, polishing and love is wonderful also. And love the bust on the table between you both. 😘😘
Thank you, Cliff. 💕💕
Hello there my friend. How is Australia doing? 😜. It is like Christmas. And some things are questionable as to why we brought them. 🤣. The little table was an easy facelift. Keeping items out of landfill is wonderful.
Now that terra cotta bust….. We saw one in the Chateau de Villandry on a mantle and fell in love with her. When I saw this at the antique fair I knew we’d have to splurge……. And she want expensive either. Cheers and stay out of trouble 🤩💕😘
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Your episodes are so warm and exciting. You boys really do calmly go through the whole week. And often its funny. I cant tell you how much I enjoy it.
And "Hell no" to staying out of trouble!!! We have just had an arctic blast of cold weather followed by 4-5 days of high 20's! Its mad here weather wise but I have been in my gardens a lot. Chat soon lovely. 😘😘
@@cliffhorman6846 💋🥰💋. That’s crazy. I hate temperature swings like that. 😮. Ok. Get only into good trouble (the one that one only talks about with close friends). 😂🤪🤣.
Now you are really at home!🎉
I have had to deal with relying on someone to actually do their job and then them not doing it. And when they don't do their job, it messes up everything for other people. I'm so glad they got it straighten out and you have your things now.
Hey Crinkle. It is frustrating when someone has a job but has internally quit. 😮
Now, everything is here. Yay. Thank you very much for your comment. 💖😘💖
Oh how exciting your items have arrived at long last. Great buys there. Thanks for sharing - from Australia.
It is really exciting. 🥳🎉🥳🍾🥳. Love the new items too. 🥰. Much love to you down under from us at Colombe. 💖💕💖
The table is GORGEOUS! I'm so happy for you that your containers arrived. I was so looking forward to seeing your buffet in the Chateau, and also your lighting fixture. I will wait for the lights, but it looks like you have your hands full for the moment. The idea of serving your friends a real Thanksgiving meal is an awesome idea. There are lots to be thankful for, as you have a beautiful new home, new friends, and Nessa is home safe. All the best!
Thank you so much. What pretty wood on the little table. And the containers. So happy. As for being thankful….. you said it perfectly. So much to give thanks for. Nessa, a new home, wonderful new friends and neighbors, a chateau (hasn’t quite hit me yet so I say it again), a wonderful TH-cam community and I could go on. Much love from us here at Colombe 💖🎉💖
What a fantastic adventure!!! 😁❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏🇨🇦
C’est un plaisir de retrouver ses meubles et objets dans de bonnes conditions après un si long voyage ❤️❤️❤️ Et aussi le plaisir de réinstaller et recréer un nouveau décor avec eux dans leur nouvel écrin qu’est le château ❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻
Merci beaucoup. C’est un plaisir et beaucoup de travail 😂. Nous sommes très heureux.
Love everything you purchased! I would spend so much time and money in those brocantes and markets! I would need a very large chateaux of my own to hold it all. Glad your containers arrived. It will be fun to rediscover your things as you unpack.
Hi Iris. There might be a few large chateaux available for you"… 😮😂😮. One day we might go brocanting together. ❤😊❤
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 That would be fantastic! But taking on a chateau by myself wouldn’t be possible. I have no renovating skills and I’m a recent widow. So doing something like that alone just isn’t possible for me. But watching you and Stuart is so much fun. Wish you could do more videos a week! I know that is asking a lot.
If your Thanksgiving is any like our's they are in for an over-the-top evening if fine wine, food, and desserts. Enjoy as we will too. Mark
So glad your containers arrived safely and you received the right one's lol xx
🤣😂🤣. Absolutely. Hugs 👍🏻🍾👍🏻
Yaaayyy STUFF!!! 😁
You guys are so much fun to watch!!! ❤
Much hugs and love 🥰🤗🥰
Thank you so much 🤗
Hi Muriel. Indeed. Stuff and where to put it? 😂🤣😂. We hug you right back. Love y’a. 💖😘🥰
Loved seeing the Chewy boxes among your things. That's what everything gets packed in in our house!!!
🤣😂🤣. You know it. You made my day. Huge hugs to you and your fur babies 💖😘💖
Chateauroux is where my friends' mother lived until she was put into a care home. I don't know what happened to her house there since I have not seen him for a couple of years.
That was nice of that driver to help you put the buffet together.
Hi Werner. Chateau roux is only about 35 minutes away. So close. The crew was paid to carry everything onto the chateau. And they are not used to clients helping to unload and carry boxes. It was fun. They were thrilled to have one item that they could carry inside. We all had coffee afterwards in the kitchen together and chatted. It was really nice. Cheers. 💖🥰💖
What a Fab pic u 2, seeing the Removalist truck outside your home, Hooray 🥳🥳🥳💚💛
Congratulations on finally getting your belongings. ❤😍🤗
Thank you so much. 👍🏻🍾👍🏻
I Am So Happy You Both Got Your Shipment 🚚At Last 📦🏰💕
Happy Days: Episode 50 and all your stuff coming Home - congrats :)
Whee! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 what a relief to have all your belongings ❤
Lovely. Very nice things and treasures. Fun times and more to come.
I love burl, it’s gorgeous! Looks so good after you fed her! ♥️🇫🇷🏰
So happy and excited for you that the containers have arrived, and you made some wonderful purchases. An American thanksgiving in France sounds wonderful. The French did help us win the revolution with the British. lol Wishing you both a wonderful week. 😘
Thank you! You know, I don't think that many people remember that France helped America win their revolution over the British. Have a great week! 💕💕
Hello gorgeous. It is such a good feeling. Having out stuff. When we talked about the American thanksgiving, people said: Never participated in one…. So it’s easy. I hope people love it. Tomorrow is armistice day. We are invited by the mayor to join. Such an honor. Much love from Colombe. 🥰💖🥰
Love the old stove in your shed.
💖. I love that you noticed. 🤩👍🏻
So pleased your containers arrived . Love your purchases. I really would have to go brocantes/ antique fairs with no way of paying for anything!!!!
Thank you Leigh. 🤣😂. I completely understand what you mean. I have to tell myself that I do not need items, even if I love them. Step away Patrick is my new mantra….. 😂. Love your comment. Cheers from Colombe. 👍🏻🍾👍🏻
So wonderful that you finally received your containers, can’t wait to see what you have planned for Thanksgiving! I know it’s going to be fabulous!! New beginnings are always so exciting!!
Happy Friday Joaquina. Thank you so much. It is great to have them here.
Thanksgiving will be a fun affair. You are so right. New beginnings are exciting and will make this a real home. Hugs from us at Colombe. 💖😘💖
This container arrival should make you both so happy!👏👌🥰
It sure did. Thank you so much Christine. ❤🎉❤
THANK YOU!! for showing the product you used on the side table. Beautiful!
You are so welcome!👍
Please, do polish the copper raling of the night stand as well, you'll love the effect.
We will. Thank you so much. 💋💕🥰
So happy for you, can t wait to see it finished!
Hi Lisa. I’m with you. 😘🥰💖
Love the Chewy boxes LOL
LOL. I know! We used a lot of them! 😂😂
I’m so excited for you both to have finally gotten your things home again! I’m looking forward to seeing where you decide to place everything 😊
Hi there Maryann. Thank you for your comment. It is a big relief indeed. Now the unpacking and placing will be fun. We will also start to paint some rooms (the ones where the electricity is new). Much love from us at Colombe. 😘💖😘
So pleased your "stuff" arrived safely, I did tell you it was like seeing old friends again. Now enjoy putting your home together again. Take care see you next time. X
Great news guys! Really pleased for you both…plus we love the new acquisitions👍👍…all this and just plain laughing at your humour, we love it!
Thank you so much. 😘🥰😘
I've never seen another buffet quite like that. It really is a stunning piece!
Thank you Laura. Makes me feel really good to get your backing! It is quite pretty and we are a bit in love with it. 😘🥰😘👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The top of the little table is just gorgeous and what a lovely idea to have thanksgiving with your new friends.
It was again a joy to watch your adventures 👋🙂
Hi Janet. Isn’t that veneer pretty? We are excited to prepare a US Thanksgiving dinner for our British friends. Next year we might double it with our new French friends. 😍. We are glad you enjoyed the episode and thank you for watching. Great comment. Hugs from us at Colombe . 😘💕😘
Hurrah for containers arrival. 😊
What a lovely little table.
Indeed and thank. 👍🏻🥰🥳
I congratulate you on the arrival of your containers (Lord, all that unpacking!!!) and your very excellent purchases!
Thank you very much Robert. It is great and the unpacking is a blessing. We love the purchases. So much fun. Thank you so much. Hugs as always. 😘🥰😘
I can't wait to see how your furniture looks in the chateau especially with your recent finds. It must be so nice to have your belongings again. My mother use to drive around Manhattan and pick up discarded wooden furniture from the sidewalks and refurbish them so I appreciate seeing you bring new life to these pieces.
I got so excited when I saw the wagon come through your gates, wow. I love going on your antique hunts, you always find such beautiful things. Take care, love and hugs. ☺️xx
Hi Treena. Wast that something when that huge truck came in here?!? We will have fun outings next year with interested people to visit brocantes. . Much love and many hugs from us at Colombe. 🥰💖🥰
Another great episode ! Now the anticipation for next week is like waiting for Christmas.
I love your comment Karen. Thank you. I’m exciting too. Since I first see the vlog in the premiere with everyone. I like it this way. Huge hugs from us at Colombe. 💖🥰💖
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 sending light and love to you both and your beautiful hearts , your videos inspire me to take on new projects and I am not really sure how I came across Journey to the Chateau de Colombe but I have much gratitude that I now have something worth watching . One other thing I want to mention is the people that show up in the chat are WONDERFUL kind people . what a joy !
You guys are so happy and it makes me happy to watch you!! The time lapse scenes are just beautiful and I love going to the brocantes with you!! And I'm so happy Nessa is back home. It's so terrible to worry about a lost dog. Love your videos!!
Dear Mary. That is such a wonderful comment. It made me happy. 🥰💖🥰. Brocantes are fun and Nessa being home is just a miracle. Much love from us here at Colombe. 🥰💖🥰
The Buffett cabinet was very nice. Side table also. Some of the glass wear you showed when shopping was beautiful.
💖🥰💖
Your joy and thankfulness are infectious . The buffet is perfect for the room and most impressive. Sending you richest blessings . Love your channel: it's fun and unpretentious . You are both excellent company in a rather dismal world . Making others laugh and bringing joy and entertainment in such a way is a true gift. Thank you.
Hi Clare. Thank you. I love that we are bringing you joy 🥰.
The buffet is wonderful. We love it. Your blessings are very much appreciated. That our Chanel and our vlog rings you joy and fun is such a huge compliment. You made my day. 💖😘💖
Hi guys! So wonderful to have all your belongings under one roof (more or less). That piece is the sideboard, is stunning. So much fun to see you go antiquing and what you buy. I was drooling all the way through there! Glad you had a good time definitely got some good buys. Was wonderful to see you both! Sending much love from California. 💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸
Hello there Liz. How is CA? It is very nice to have our things together. The markets here are fantastic. I have to walk away many times. 😔😩. Thank you for your great comment. Hugs from us at Colombe. 😘🥰😘
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Patrick it’s amazing to have that much restraint with so much at your fingertips! Kudos to you. It must be nice to have at least all your kitchen stuff back we all have our favorites. And clothes I would imagine. Never thought about that. Lol
CA Is finally fall! We are down in the low 60s
And 30s at night. I’m loving it! Thanks for asking. Sending hugs to you both🥰🤗💜
So glad you finally got your container! So happy for you!
😘🥰😘
Ooo, looking forward to this guys.😍💕
🤩😘🤩
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 how exciting was that? I can just imagine the emotions you were going through. All the effort you put in to find your Chateau. The woof pack wood be revisiting familiar smells. Lovely video and I’m so happy for you.
So exciting guys !
It was truly exciting. What was funny to us though, was the truck driving into the courtyard. The gates seem narrow, even for a car……. I said to Stuart not to look. And we didn’t. Glad we had the camera. 🤣🥳🤣. Doggies are exploring familiar smells. It is nice to have this all in one place, even with a long way till we are ready. 🤗😍🤗
Waxing seals the wood, better to oil with lemon oil twice a year. Brings out the beauty of the wood as well.
Never a dull moment.
Never. 🍾🤩🍾. 💋
Wish to be with you guys one day for thanksgiving! Love and light always! S-A G
Hi Sonja that would be fun. Much love to you from us in Colombe. 😘💖🥰
you two have marvelous taste and I love that you come across good buys. I have to tell you, I pulled a Patrick last week. Local auction house had art etc. from a local interior designer. Great stuff - mostly over my budget. But, I did do what Patrick has done - enter the starting bid on an item and hope for the best. Well I won a few of the items! A few pieces of art and a candelabra. Natch, I didn't read the measurements closely and the darn thing is huge! Like 3 feet over what I thought it was going to be. LOL I have big rooms but this sucker was made for a chateau! Alas, I have it in my hall and I chuckle when I look at it an think of you, Patrick. Nice to know I'm not alone! Looking forward to you decorating and continuing to settle in. Hugs from across the pond!
