Love your style and hard work! Would you consider wrapping chandelier wires with white cloth ... it would blend with ceiling. That dark fabric stands out and draws your eye to it. Best wishes!
Love your design style, it's a little bit modern, a little bit traditional and a little bit eclectic which is what makes you guys different. Beautiful job guys.
Well done on rescuing that chandelier! Lowering that piano gave me anxiety and watching you move it made my back hurt! It will be a joy for years to come, candleholders!!!! Your decorating style is my favorite!
I think the room looks stunning , i have seen others do a similar colour but they have not dressed the room as good as u 2 have . Love the Old piano too . And i love how u stripped the door back and left it wood , not painted it dark . And the curtains too are perfect . 😊
I think golden stenciling in the center of the chandelier boss or even all solid gold in that center circle would help balance the visual weight of the light fixture. Beautiful room.
Absolutely beautiful - I was having a hard time imagining all the different elements coming together but it all looks cohesive, interesting, fun - and overall - just stunning!
Fantastic room. Very similar to my family room. Same wall color, persian rug, navy velvet sofa, a few art deco influences, two mid century chairs, a traditional cocktail table, some brass, long gray taffeta drapes and some blue and white porcelain all mixed into my room and I love it.
Loved your video, the music, chandelier, ceiling rose design, that piano reminds me of my pals grand, on a gravel drive, nightmare, it all looks lovely & very tasteful, I agree with all Chris’s favourite things in the room! Well done! Black felt tip pen can be useful for piano scratches! John in Monmouth 🏴
I'm a big fan of your eclectic style. I can imagine enjoying this salon myself. The piano is a nice feature and well worth the struggle to get it installed in this great room. I, too, was afraid that the paint might be a tad overly dark for the space; however, there is ample natural light from the windows and mood lighting from the chandelier and light fixtures to compensate. Nice job lads.
Love, Love, Love the wall colour. I also find the eclectic style impressive. From what I can tell by looking at the room it has a cozy warm feel without being dark.
I love everything you both have done with the room.Cozy, the colour selection well thought out.The piano great to have. My parents when moving house had to get a crane to remove the piano from the first floor windows in the sitting room had to be removed.. You both did very well moving the piano. Thanks for the video.
I’ve just binge watched your videos - love what you have done so far - 5 bedrooms, 1 bathroom 1 lounge and stables roof - pool work in progress - love the orangery ❤
Subscribed to your channel. The salon just looks fantastic. Just a tip about the piano. It must stand or "rest" for at least a month before tuning. So if it was less than that, it needs a final tuning. What is next up for renovation? Just love the old record player with the trumpet speaker. Have one just like that. Hope you have records to play. Do so every day LOL. The sound makes it very special. Enjoy your house!
Thanks. It did sit for a month or so but it will still need another tuning as it was so out of tune Emily said it would put too much pressure on the frame to tighten it up all the way in one go!
I hope you will consider some taller lamps for that majestic room. Otherwise, you’ve done an exceptionally beautiful job with the room, especially the fabric on the drapes.
Looks GREAT! Loved the montage of the changing out of pictures and accessories. It must be so rewarding to both you lovely guys to have it together. The piano move actually caused a twinge of pain/anxiety and I get it as I was involved carrying an upright piano 3 steep flights in SF once. Can YOU say, "OUCH"? Lol
@@chateautroiscloches 4 of us but only 3 could fit at once in the narrow stairwells. It was like three step forward, one or two back, hold, rest, start again. I think it was 5 hours. As most amateurs will tell you, NEVER AGAIN! But yours now looks absolutely beautiful in the perfect place for it. Bravo!
Gorgeous! Love your content… if I may make one suggestion; I would center the candelabra on top of the piano and have 2 matching ginger jars on either side.
Love the room! Now you know why the piano was given away for nothing! - it is a well known fact that piano’s are SO heavy that once people find them surplus to their requirements, they are unable to sell them and they are expensive to have carted away for disposal so they are happy for ANYONE to just take them away. 😂
What a beautiful room. I love everything in this room, the wall colour, drapes and all. It has all come together wonderfully. Very eclectic and stylish.. Well done fellas. Great vision... Terrific score on the chandlier and piano. Stunning!... One last thing, The view from your windows onto your garden is so beautiful, it adds to the landscape of the room...❤❤❤❤ 🥂🍾 Cheers!! 🦘🐨
magnifique, ils ne vous manquent plus, selon moi, qu' un tabouret de piano napoléon 3 en bois noirci assorti au piano .C'est très facile à trouver et pas chère .
Truly a lovely room. Glad you traded out the too tall candelabra. You’ve certainly got some interesting pieces. If I may, in my humble opinion, you could use a more substantial painting over the fireplace. Or perhaps two the size that you have now, one hanging above the other.
@@chateautroiscloches You are very welcome. My father was a great piano - and organ player and he always had a bowl of water inside the piano. As low as possible.
All the hard work and drudgery has paid off handsomely, with a lovely regal salon you should be proud of. It must feel wonderful to check one of the major rooms off of your to-do list. Well done! But, 😊oh my, the risk of permanently damaging your vertebrae should not be underestimated. An injury like that would impact both your futures and your chateau renovation plans. Please don't take such a risk again.
WONDERFUL, effort...including the piano! Wow! A good decorator once said, "less is more"! A friendly suggestion, remove all the peculiar art faces, pillows, strange lamp bases. These rooms should look curated, not rushed/filled in. Elevate items with books in time worn manner! Take advantage of the height. Put back the square table, for cards or games. Find a companion fabric for pillows. Find a tall mirror for above the fireplace. Locate a trolly/cart for drinks. TAKE your TIME! Locate an alternate coffee table. Keep searching! It will all come together!
I love the room, it is too dark for my tastes, but looks great with the furnishings. Just one observation. Never place a plant on a piano! Any items you place on top should be minimal and not resonate when the piano is being played. Remember less is more when it comes to items on a piano. A great find, though. I hope you find people who will play it. Oh, and, let it rest and adjust to its new environment for several weeks, before you have it tuned.
I have to say it’s beautiful, unfortunately,…. the cloth cover looks awful …… cover a small cardboard tube….cloth looks lopsided and bulky……the perfection of all else calls for this to be changed
Love your style and hard work! Would you consider wrapping chandelier wires with white cloth ... it would blend with ceiling. That dark fabric stands out and draws your eye to it. Best wishes!
Good idea
Love your design style, it's a little bit modern, a little bit traditional and a little bit eclectic which is what makes you guys different. Beautiful job guys.
Thanks we were worried about getting the right balance between being sympathetic to the property’s age but also a little modern too!
This is a excellent piano made I’m glad you get it for your chateau
Thank you very much!
You look so happy applying that gilding.
Well done on rescuing that chandelier! Lowering that piano gave me anxiety and watching you move it made my back hurt! It will be a joy for years to come, candleholders!!!! Your decorating style is my favorite!
Yes and Emily was back last weekend so now the piano is fully tuned which is amazing
In a word, elegant. I love how you treated the ceiling medallion.
Thanks so much x

How butch !!!! It's a miracle you did give yourself a hernia in the process. Your salon looks beautiful.
☺️ thanks
Love, Love, Love the wall colour. I also find the eclectic style impressive. From what I can tell by looking at the room it has a cozy warm feel without being dark.

Thanks so much! 😊
Gorgeous! Love your content… if I may make one suggestion; I would center the candelabra on top of the piano and have 2 matching ginger jars on either side.
In the end we decided to move the candelabra. We didn’t want to risk getting wax on the piano. Thanks for the idea though 😁
It was definitely worth the toil and effort. The room is stunningly beautiful. Congrats on the piano. It looks very elegant. ❤
We love it. Just need to learn how to play it now 😂
Good job

Hi, thanks. it’s actually a clever TV that looks like a picture above the fireplace 😊
Amazing👍
Oh my goodness, shades of Bernard Cribbens ‘Right Said Fred!’ 😂

A plan 25:21 t on a piano is sacrilegious, no damp please!
Do enjoy your vlogs
It isn’t on there any more 👍🏻
What kind of piano is it and when was it made? It’s beautiful! I’d love to sit and play!!
It’s a Pleyel piano. We think it’s from around 1880 but not 100% sure on the age
Oh, WAUW... Will you share what you paid for the chandelier? 😍
I think we paid £115 in the end
Boys, nice job! The piano is a great asset. Please put a bowl of water inside the piano, so the wood doesn't dry out.
Wow never heard that before. Thanks for the tip

Does it ever stop raining in France 😂

I think I would have used gold paint rather than the gold paper .
Never underestimate the power of two skinny english gay men! Thetwo of you havecreated a beautiful room!
Haha thanks ☺️

Hi Mum! Thanks for joining , next time try and join the live chat if you can see it xx
So funny 😂😂😂❤️🥂
I remember seeing this on Chateau DIY
Beautiful room apart from the head with the lightbulb - deffo not my taste! 😊
Fair enough! It is a bit quirky
Great to experiment. Interesting obje

Thanks. Yep Jolyon removed the plant as soon as he saw it 😂
Couches do not go at all wrong color with walls!
I love that they play with colour. 😉
🤷🏼♂️
Un conseil : n'oubliez pas de brûler le bout de chacune de vos bougies !
Merci ☺️
Nice touches. Please lower the framed art in the room by a minimum of 3 inches. Currently too high.
Anyone here get?
2 skinny english gay men = to 4 men in my opinion for sure. 💟
Yet even lol
Hope you have taken out French citizenship , there are scary times ahead in France 😢
😞
I have to say it’s beautiful, unfortunately,…. the cloth cover looks awful …… cover a small cardboard tube….cloth looks lopsided and bulky……the perfection of all else calls for this to be changed
Which cloth cover? Not sure we have one in the Salon
@@chateautroiscloches on the chandelier cord
i like mixing antiques and new ones, but walls are too dark for my taste
Fair enough! We love it and it’s super cosy
