Could you make a sewing corner in the attic. A table and a couple of comfy chairs with sewing books. Another table with the sewing machine or two to keep fabrics from dragging on the floor. If not in Narnia another room close to the beautiful storage area. All supplies would be at hand. The dining area would be more ready to use.
I’m thinking that Phillip is quietly giggling to himself most of the day, listening to Stephanie’s off the cuff remarks. Which are always apt to the occasion and many times make me laugh out loud….
Andi, Andi, you are such an amazing artist!! The 📓/portfolio you made is extraordinary, and I especially love the green bedroom!! It's exquisite!! You have such an eye for unusual items, Andi!! I love your work!! So glad you are back!!! USA
The light blue organza will need an interior envelope in either a matching blue or a white. My grandmother -- born in 1895 -- had beautiful organza pillow covers on her beds with all different interior envelopes in various colors.
OMG, I have total sensory overload with all these sumptuous, beautiful cushions and fabrics! I had to pause the video to catch my breath! You and Phillip did an outstanding job reimagining the cushions you worked on.Also, Andi's talent is trenendous.So many creative people are drawn to the chateau and to you,Stephanie.It reminds me of a French salon, where artists,writers, and intellectuals gathered.Also,in this age of Ikea,it makes my heart sing to see you highlighting the talent and beauty and craftsmanship of the past! Merci beaucoup!
It impressing that You remember the people who gave you items. It just goes to show how sincerely greatful each gift is received. 💋💋❤🇨🇦❤💋💋 I on the other hand forget where I put my keys 10 minutes ago.!
If you ever decide to do merchandise, a Lalande Cushion collection would be an admirable addition to the items being sold! Thank you for the video! Have a fabulous week!
I would absolutely purchase the one that showed the old Lalande portrait with the towers before the fire. The one Stephanie mention the towers reflection in the lake with the people walking in old period clothing. I think it was white with blue or gray stitching. It was one of my favorite Lalande portraits I have seen all year. It would make for a beautiful addition to sell in a pill/cushion collection.
You have done wonders with some of those cushions.........I’m continually astonished at the work that Andi creates.....her artwork is just stunning, I love a water color, however her creativity from bits and pieces from the brocantes and around the chateau never cease to amaze me.........have a great week...........Donna in Toronto
Can’t wait to see them in the rooms. Looking forward to seeing the rooms being prepared for the BB season. My dream is to do Chateau hopping through France. God willing🙏
I'm so thankful for your videos. They make me smile and give me happiness. I'm so loving your relationship and your love between you two. Thank you again.
The cushions are all beautiful. When sewing - remember the iron is your friend to flatten out the seams. Use a low setting and a towel on top of the delicate fabrics when ironing.
@@helenpalmer869 Andie helped and ironed both the blue embroidered piece and the piece I cut out of the old table cloth before I sewed them together (:
@@philipjanssen thats great Philip. It wasn't shown on the vlog. It was something that was drilled into me at school.😏 The cushion looked super after you had completed it 😊🤩
as someone who is just getting into book binding, I squealed when Andie said she'd made her book of paintings! It's a beautiful work of art from cover to cover.
Yes, the Horacio’s brother cushion was the greatest transformation. If you know anybody who makes paper I bet they’d love the shredded silk that was left over ❤️🇨🇦
15-year-old me to current 46-year-old me: are you really watching a woman mess around with cushions?? 46 year old me: hush teenager! Such things are bringing me joy. 😄
Being one who sews and crafts, this has been an especially delightful video! One prettier cushion after another...and the white embroidered ones will turn out exquisite!
great cushion repairs and create. a few comments suggested a sewing area or room this is a great idea. machines set up permanently and a really big table in middle. what a fun creation that would be!
Absolutely adore the cushion restoration projects - gorgeous! Perhaps handyman Dan could be persuaded to rig up some lighting for your trimmings cupboard? It was a shame we couldn't feast our eyes on the gorgeousness tucked away in that cupboard. Q: of the pheasant fabric; how many different siblings will Horatio have? It looked like a varying pattern. I agree - the cushion of the day was Horatio's brother, and the beautiful blue/cream/white for the kitchen chaise. Well done! Don't be shy about posting a short of the ongoing cushion progress. I loved seeing it. Well done both of you!
You could also purchase battery operated led sensor lights or led light strips for the shelving in the cupboards. I purchased the battery operated sensor lights for my bedroom clothes wardrobes.
Aw I love watching these so much they just make me smile especially watching Steph & Phillip working together such a lovely lovely couple love to you all keep doing what you are doing 💓
It would be so awesome to have the paintings printed on some pillowcases and then put them in the rooms that it was painted in. 🎨 Those paintings are stunning 😍
Such industriousness.😊 Love the cushion with the engraving of Lalande and the "Delft" cushion 🥰 You make such a great team Stephanie and Philip. Andi s work is just magical🥰
Stephanie, I bet you’ve never met a fabric you didn’t like!❤️💜💖 all those patterns, I’m trying to get into a lot patterns , it’s a slow go but you inspire me.
The little metal square with nails/pins along each side that is part of the little sculpture is actually a loom for weaving small squares - as a weaver, my heart rose up and sang when I saw it!
wow what a peaceful entrance start.before it started. very clever though. The show it self Bravo loved it. I call it making do with what you have. The end is a personal Home.
From Boulder moving to Cushion restoration there are no bounds to Stephanie's energy and enthusiasm .She carries all around her along with her vision .Allowing them to realize their own talents in a now shared vision. Well done. Wonderful Sunday vlog..
Hello Stephanie and Philip! I look once more at this episode and see what a wonderful artist Andy is. I suggest that she follows her idea and turn the object into a bird´s house. It looks already like a little Lalande chateau for small birds. How nice! My children´s grandparents were both swedish artists and besides painting, they were very creative in making interesting things that could be used for the family. My compliments to both of you too.
Well. if ever there was going to be a 'pillow fight' at Lalande, you have more than enough cushions as substitutes ;-) Well done in getting just another one of those 'jobs' done and another box ticked. You have some really lovely fabrics to work with and just love Andi's art work. Talented lady.
It is delightful to see how well you too cooperate and bring out each best qualities! And then you go your separate ways during the way and check back at the end of the days. It speaks so well of your temperaments, your upbringings, your manners, and your generous spirits! We are blessed to get peaks into your lives in these dark times. Too bad you can teach that to others.💕
As a past sewer and a collector of cushions this was a real treat! Thank you for the creativity as you combined fabrics to make use of all of your fabrics in the most beautiful ways. It will be great to see all of the cushions placed in the bedrooms as you get ready for the lucky B&B guests this year.
My goodness me, your man is sooo lovely! He is such a knowledgeable person in so many ways it seems - he is just right for you, and you for him. It is lovely watching the two of you working together. Love from Devon xxx
Agree with Alys,,,a designated sewing area would be extremely useful considering all the draperies, cushions, bedding, costumes, etc that are always projects waiting to be completed.
Well done!!! EPIC effort and you are such a perfect match- finding someone who loves doing the things you love doing is just the best 😁✨ you two are a joy to watch.
This was so lovely to watch, So many beautiful fabrics and cushions with beautiful vintage patterns. I cannot wait to see them all displayed and blending in their respective rooms... xxx
I love your program and watching all of you patiently and lovingly piecing that chateau back together…. And it already looks beautiful. But when it was in its heyday with the French elites… how many people were required to run it… including the stables and property. It couldn’t have been less than 50! I’m glad people are restoring as many as they are… they do tell a story!
I’m living my dream life watching you Stephanie!! I live in Southern California and can’t wait to see you and all your wonderful friends day by day taking care of this incredible chateau. ❤
I love looking for weird or unique items just like Andi in my videos...so fun to find a surprise at charity or antique shops!!! Loved her watercolor book!!!!!💜💜💜💜
Thank You Both!!! I have many cushion inserts, but have been putting off getting them covered! This inspired me to get some fun fabrics organized and get cracking on!!! They will most likely be quilted and probably have random bits of star wars fabrics, because why not!! Some galactic elegance perhaps!!! C
Gorgeous fabrics for the cushions. Wonderful to go to one's stash and have the right materials on hand. PLEASE have someone "metal detect" the lake and surrounding area before the lake project starts. Have a hunch you'll have some interesting finds. Thanks for all the joy and pleasure you bring to your vlogs.
Loved seeing all the cushions and all the materials. Very much inspired me to look at my pillows and all my hidden stash of material and give a spring redo in the house.
Both of you have very good eyes for matching up colors, prints, etc.....All of the pillows/covers are lovely.
Pillows are a great place to show off some of your pin collection. A little unexpected but another place you can enjoy them.
Love you two endless time you spend together it must be true love ❤️
Can’t wait to follow the preparations for getting the rooms ready for guests. I too am ‘cushion motivated’! Phillip is a talented sewer.
Great job with cushion repair and creation!
Could you make a sewing corner in the attic. A table and a couple of comfy chairs with sewing books. Another table with the sewing machine or two to keep fabrics from dragging on the floor. If not in Narnia another room close to the beautiful storage area. All supplies would be at hand. The dining area would be more ready to use.
What Alys said!
Absolutely love this idea. A nice sewing area or room. Yes, you need it. It would be lovely.
Brrr...in the winter, so cold up there?
Great idea. Big work table that is portable and lots of lights
And another utensil holder for scissors, measuring tapes and pin cushions. Also a see through one for threads. Or perhaps pegboards instead.
I’m thinking that Phillip is quietly giggling to himself most of the day, listening to Stephanie’s off the cuff remarks. Which are always apt to the occasion and many times make me laugh out loud….
Andi's drawing of the attic bedroom was so cozy and inviting. I loved this episode and will always remember it as "The One with the Pillowpalooza".
Pillow fight
Andi, Andi, you are such an amazing artist!! The 📓/portfolio you made is extraordinary, and I especially love the green bedroom!! It's exquisite!! You have such an eye for unusual items, Andi!! I love your work!! So glad you are back!!! USA
I want her to publish a book of these pictures and offer prints. Her work is incomparable!
The light blue organza will need an interior envelope in either a matching blue or a white. My grandmother -- born in 1895 -- had beautiful organza pillow covers on her beds with all different interior envelopes in various colors.
Great idea. Sounds lovely!
I love the recycling of the shattered Chinese cushions. I think it’s very complimentary composition. Well done!

It is lovely to see all your your fabrics and gifts put together at last. They turned out beautiful and so many!
The cushions look wonderful! Can't wait to see them all in place.
The cushion fill needs to be at least 1” all around larger to fill the cover they will look so much better, good luck
The book was just beautiful! The cushions all wonderful. 🧡♥️
I love your projects. You both work so great together.
Go to your Brico store to get stick on motion lights . They are small enough for cupboards and need no wiring! Batteries only!!!!
It impressing that You remember the people who gave you items. It just goes to show how sincerely greatful each gift is received.

I on the other hand forget where I put my keys 10 minutes ago.!
Yes! It always amazes me.

Ooooo...yes please! I would definitely purchase pieces from a Lalande cushion collection curated by you and Philip!

Love the new pheasant pillow! Reusing those lovely bits of fabric is just marvelous. 🌺

Yes I was talking to the tv saying "iron that (blue&white) fabric first before sewing"

@@philipjanssen thats great Philip. It wasn't shown on the vlog. It was something that was drilled into me at school.😏 The cushion looked super after you had completed it 😊🤩
Poor phillip he must be bored to tears. Such a talented young man making cushions really!
as someone who is just getting into book binding, I squealed when Andie said she'd made her book of paintings! It's a beautiful work of art from cover to cover.
All of the cushions were so incredibly beautiful! I think my favorites were the the one with the tassels and the one with Horatio's brother!
Really love the cushion making. Hope for more diy
Lovely project, you’ve inspired me to go pillow hunting.
Yes, the Horacio’s brother cushion was the greatest transformation. If you know anybody who makes paper I bet they’d love the shredded silk that was left over ❤️🇨🇦
Just love the pillows .,I think that they make a beds look so romantic 💜💜💜💜💜
A nicer, more gentle countdown to the premiere.
Much nicer than that loud music countdown.

LOL
You two work so well together ... I can soooooo appreciate how pleasing it must be to get those 'presky' cushions all sorted out ... YAY ... x
I said it at the previous video, I'm happy to see projects happening again 😄
Use the handmade "pockets" in the BnB for the guest with a note explaining how they are used to put their pajamas.
Nice idea if Mummy is amenable
Being one who sews and crafts, this has been an especially delightful video! One prettier cushion after another...and the white embroidered ones will turn out exquisite!

Gawd guys I love fabric so loved watching this pillow project.
Love the video. Nice to see vlogs with you cooking and creating/repairing things for the Château. Just like the early vlogs. Can’t wait to see more. 🥰
Beautiful cushions, they will be really good in all the bedrooms.
Lovely use of the cushions and extra fabric, looking great at Lalande!
The little metal square with nails/pins along each side that is part of the little sculpture is actually a loom for weaving small squares - as a weaver, my heart rose up and sang when I saw it!
A VERY successful day guys. Great recycling and recreating there. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fabulous job Team Cushions!!!! They all look beautiful. Can’t wait to see where they go in the Chateau!! 😉🥰🙏
You can use the organza as maybe a layered pillow or a blanket. The color and fabric are so pretty, kinda cool spring feel
wow what a peaceful entrance start.before it started. very clever though. The show it self Bravo loved it. I call it making do with what you have. The end is a personal Home.

Who knew a vlog about cushions would be so interesting. That is quite the collection!
This video was so entertaining!!! I love all the beautiful cushions and colors!!
Hello lalande family hope everyone is well, sending you all an internet hug 🤗 ❤️😘
The beauty of all the fabrics and colors and watching you reinvent them with new combinations was delightful.
Beautiful cushions,i love them,good work,loved watching you making & repairing them.
You are such hard workers. I never thought I could enjoy a show on cushions as much as I just have. Andy’s beautiful paintings are wonderful
What a beautiful book Andi has created!
Thats a nice one chateau
Well done 👏
Don't give up on the see thru aqua colored fabric! Could you give it a backing, like curtains have a backing? Ivory or white satin would be so pretty!
All the cushions look amazing. And how beautiful is Andi's art book 😍😍
Hi 👋 Fiona, how are you doing?
Hello and welcome to my pillow collection tour :P Love your work so much and truly find a home with your kindred spirits

i would also know how andy folded her neck scarf. she loved great and blended in. lol
So beautiful the cushions turned out bravo bravo 😃😃👏👏👏👏👏
I was going to suggest that pillow for Gerald, too! :) (So many beautiful things!)
Wonderful “pillow talk”! Andi’s book of paintings of LaLande is lovely. Thanks Stephanie and Philip🙏🏻❤️
Inspiring, would love to see the ‘repair pile’ going forward. ❤️
The organza covers would look lovely put over bright floral cushions. Great job so far 👍 👋 🇦🇺
My goodness me, your man is sooo lovely! He is such a knowledgeable person in so many ways it seems - he is just right for you, and you for him. It is lovely watching the two of you working together. Love from Devon xxx

I love how u salvaged those old pillows, just beautiful!
Look forward to seeing each room completed with cushions.

I was hoping you would do a cushion video! Such a delight! My husband says we have too many cushions and no where to sit. Oops! 🤣
love me some cushions! and those illustrations by Ande are beautiful!
