      No worries, Philip. With everything going on, things happen, and this "thing" was easily fixed. At least I hope it was an easy fix. Thank you for all that you do.

    I absolutely love Simon and Vivienne's style. It is warm, comfy, cozy, and interesting. It doesn't take itself too seriously. However, there are points of serious high-end antiques and objects of beauty and art. I love it! A wonderful amalgamation of American and European sensibility. 🥂🍾🎆❤️‍🔥

    Blue boy and Pinky were a fashion trend. My grandmother had their portraits hanging in the hallway on both sides of her front door. Oklahoma city 1950s and 1960s. So of course I researched them. Interesting history.

    There is so, so much to be impressed with inside and out of Vivienne and Simon's unique Belle Epoque Château de la Croix-Boisée. I love the range of periods and styles of the beautiful furnishings but of it all I am in awe of the Limoges porcelain plates that Vivienne so perfectly hand-painted with various colorful birds and greenery.

  • @carolehanrahan
    @carolehanrahan ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I think that a home is a reflection of the people/family who live in it so to say that this is a most amazing chateau is a direction reflection of what wonderful people reside in it. I swear it isn't fair that some people get all of the talent, beauty and fascinating lives while the rest of us can't draw a straight line and live in tiny apartments. I would be a bit bitter over it but since you are kind enough to share a little of yourselves and your home then I guess I will still have to think you are wonderful. lol

    • @carolinegooder7091
      @carolinegooder7091 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      A couple in NY lived in a tiny one bedroom apartment and 50 years ago bought cheap paintings from young artists. They had OK jobs, but not great. They later had dealers look for them, only bargains of strange new artists. They hung paintings on the ceiling when they ran out of room on the walls and stacked them under the bed. A new wing of a museum is opening up for their collection, which they are leaving to the world.

    I wonder if the present owners of Vivienne's old chateau would allow her to give a tour of what they did there!!! I would LOVE to see that! ❤ I loved this SO much. You brought out her playful side and the explanations added so much! Well done! I agree she has a warm and beautiful home! I mentioned quite some time ago on a Chateau Diaries episode that Mummy reminds me of Joan of Arc. I still think so. People comment on her "gruffness" for lack of a better word. But I think it's because she has standards that she doesn't like to see people cross. She doesn't suffer fools or laziness easily. She's the Joan of Arc of LaLande! 😊🤗🧐

Vivian is an astonishingly creative artist and this is reflected in everything she does. Everything is well thought out and has a story. Simon is also talented, skilled and a passionate foodie. Both complement each other beautifully and have a warm and endearing energy with a lot of humour. Lovely chateau and a home.
