    I’m an archaeologist and new to your channel. I must admit I was getting a little sad when you started painting/priming everything white. But then you started gilding and I was so happy! You’ve done an amazing job restoring this place and your attention to the historical details is just incredible!

    This is probably the first time I've ever watched a restoration video that was 25 minutes long and worth every moment. The amount of detail and care that went into restoring even the smallest pieces....really just amazing. Bravo to you both! You're truly artists in the remaking of such a stunning work of art.

    I can only imagine that the ghosts of centuries ago would be elated at not only your respect for this grand home and what it was to them, but also how you’ve brought this chateau into the 21st-century. You’ve made this old lady dignified again. 🇨🇦

    Wow, even though I have watched every video, I have forgotten so much. I remember when the renovations of the original floor began thinking that the amount of work Adrian put into them was insane, and then Carole began with the painting and plastering, and then, step two of the floors, almost making the installation of the plywood look easy!!! What a journey! I have no idea why your channel came up on my feed. You are the only chateau people I watch, but what a great day it was. I so look forward to your videos. Thank you for taking us along with you. You have created a lovely place where people feel buoyed up by your skills, dedication and laughter. I read the comments and it is such a nice caring community. Thank you!

    Just watching this made me cry and it’s not even a house I’ll ever seen in person. Just the sheer talent and motivation to literally “exhume” this historical property is insane. I’ve seen many Reno’s of old homes but nothing in comparison to how original this really is. Beautiful!!

    Absolutely magnificent. When I first saw the Chateau on that initial tour with Michael P., I thought to myself “if this restoration is done right, it will be something very special “. Well, Carole and Adrien, it HAS been done so much more than right. It has been restored to it’s original beauty and then some. I have really enjoyed watching it transform and can’t wait to see what you do with the rest. You have worked incredibly hard and the results speak for themselves. Well done you.

    Absolutely stunning. Wish I was young enough to do it myself. I am a retired paperhanger (wallpaper installation). I was impressed that you tried to have the paper replicated but that it was cost prohibitive. The paper you chose has a brocade look (irresdescent) but you need a lot of light to hit it for the pattern to show. I would have picked a colorful damask or a french floral because they papers they had in those years were brightly colored. I wish I could have helped you. There isn't as much traditional French paper being printed with the current modern craze, but it's out there. Very, very, impressed with all your work. Aaaah, the joy of being young and full of energy.

    It’s a truly incredible transformation. Although I have seen every one of your videos, it was a shock to see the original condition of the salon again. You’ve both worked so very hard, and should be so proud of your efforts, as the result is absolutely amazing. Congratulations, you did it!

    What an achievement Carole and Adrian, I have watched every video and what a ride. This has to be one of the best salon restorations I have ever seen well worth the viewing. I was so happy to see Carole smiling throughout it was such a daunting task for her, I literally thought she was going to lose it several times. thanks for sharing your journey with us.

    Despite having watched the entire process as you took it in stages, I found the compilation compelling. You've done such a wonderful job, Carole and Adrian, from the painstaking detail on the scrollwork to the hours Adrian spent on the floor. And the furniture is just right for the room; it's honestly lovely. Congratulations on a job well done.

    Chateau de La Ferte was blessed when you became it’s owners. Each week your talents have amazed me and I’ve enjoyed watching what your incredibly hard work, skills and creativity will result in next. Thank you Carole & Adrian for sharing this. I love every inch of what you’ve done as you’re true artisans.. with great taste. Bethany is an absolute Gem (even though mostly hidden!) in your team too. Congratulations & hope you finally get a night to sit down and relax in your restored jewel of a Grande Salon.

    Carole, you and Adrian have transformed the grande salon into a masterpiece. I salute your perseverance. I can’t imagine taking on such a mind numbing project almost single handily. I know you had some help from family members and friends but the real hero’s were you two, in addition your daughter did a wonderful job video taping and making the finished project literally leap off the screen. I felt like I was sitting in a corner breathing in the fumes and dust as you were progressing. Whew, what a ride. Love watching from PA, USA.

    I watched this today. No one but your daughter could have done this episode better. But having watched all of those that went into it, which were just tiny glimpses of the actual blood sweat and tears of doing it… NOTHING could convey that effort. No other chateau short of one of the great museums has had a shade of the thought, study and hard work that went into your grand salon. Certainly not by just two people with a little help. Of course you and your family know. I wish the whole design world did. My respect and admiration to you both. And the best thing about it is that it is tasteful, not over done and rug-less. Perfection.

    Thank you, Carole and Adrian. This Grand Salon deserves its title. You both have worked hard, Adrian with the floors and Carole your eye for detail, together you have brought this room back. It is a testament to your perseverance and determination to make your home an amazing place but yet a place that you are proud to call home. Well done.

Fabulous artistry & dedication and hard work. Bravo❣️

    Amazing job with this video! It couldn't have been easy to choose what you were going to include. Your creativity and determination is so very inspiring! The results are amazing. I'm glad I stumbled upon your video blog a year ago. And this video just includes the salon, it doesn't show all of the other hard work including the garden, mowing, the other room renovations, repairing outside doors, weeding, pulling down vines etc. It's hard to believe you were able to do all of this work in such a short time! Congratulations!

I have a considerable amount of work to accomplish in my own home now that I am retiring and you inspire me to get off of my behind and get started. Congratulations on a job well done. I am looking forward to seeing your next projects.

    Between the re-creation of the moulding, the painstaking application of Gold Leaf, and Gold paint; the re-creation of wallpaper at $18,000 USD, and the restoration of antique chandeliers; including entirely rewired, with the painstaking re-created parquet flooring and painstaking staining with color coordination; with Carole making and sewing by hand and machine those beautiful curtains, and the awe inspired choice of Queen Anne style furniture, and the Gold fabric, and the restoration of hardware. They have done something together to perfection. Magnificent and gorgeous all the way to the last detail. Congratulations!! ❤🎉

    The Grand Salon is spectacular and a true testament to your hard work and devotion to restoring the Chateau! Look forward to you adding a few more special pieces over time now that all the hard work is done. A few paintings, trinkets, cushions, flowers, a drinks trolley for your G&T’s and a rug will personalise it further. Well done you two! ❤❤
