What It Costs To Heat A Chateau...

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ต.ค. 2024
- In todays video, we show you what we have been up to in the last week. Firstly, Carole shows the design she has created on the panelling of the en suite door, followed by a design idea of using plaster to create an embossed look with a stencil.
After this, we see the boiler being installed, and Adrian gives a quick rundown of what it takes to heat up a chateau our size... in a few words, it takes a lot...
And finally, we see the work Carole has done in the guest bedroom in preparation for family staying at Christmas! All in all, a busy week.

For the best affect with gold gilding, paint the area to be gilded with red paint and gild over the top. When silver gilding use sky blue paint and sizing (tacky glue) to prepare the area, then guild. The paint underneath the gild makes the gold and silver stand out. :)
The skirting boards, I sprayed gold first which worked well. But will bare in mind the red in future
Gréât advice!
Carole, you are so artistic and I love the fact that you experiment with colours and techniques! Your ideas for experimenting are spot on!!!
Thank you Norma, they dont always work in situ, but it's fun experimenting
I absolutely adore the stenciling with the plaster. It has tremendous possibilities throughout the Chateau.
I love how adventurous and creative you are getting…especially like the plastered scroll…would use this in special area by connecting the scrolls with the plaster effect. I grew up in Victorian home, on the bottom of the wall it had raised embossed flowers and it came from Europe as a wallpaper.
So if you want a special effect somewhere in the chateau it would be beautiful. You have really done an amazing job..👏🏻👏🏻💐
Thank you so much Jo-Ann, I like to try different things otherwise life gets boring
Lincrusta or Anaglypta? Is that what you mean, Jo?
Always good to see what you are up to. Great job Carole!! The gold looks beautiful and love the idea of the stencil on the wall....look forward to seeing the whole process. Thank you all!!
Keep watching Jane to see the different finishes I've been trying on the stencil
I love the paneling all one colour! And the plaster effect is awesome! I just all round love the work you do and your videos! They are just the perfect length and the right balance of types of content! Keep it up! You're now my favorite chateau channel! :)
Thank you so much Rosalie, we do our best to keep them interesting, even though we are flat out every minute. Keep watching
I really love your idea of using plaster with the stencil! Love the decorative effect!
Thanks Diana
I love everything your mother does in decorating the chateau, plus I love watching how she achieves the effects of gilding .🇦🇺🙋♀️
Thank you Marcia, I decorate my style, which isn't everyone's, but it's my chateau!!! I believe that if you are going to live in a house, you should do it for yourself. Carole x
Aww I’ve never heard of plastering a stencil what a great idea giving me ideas now lol, that’s a love.y pattern you have. Gold panelling brilliant I love the gold effect lovely yes better to spray
Thank you Angela, next time we will show a close up of the stencil and some of the trial effects
Love the gold! I haven't seen that done with stenciling either, but it's brilliant!
It looks so good close up
TH-cam gilding 👍👍 fantastic art
Carole you are such an inspiration...love the plaster stencil, it's beautiful, also the stencil pattern is really lovely! The gold on the door paneling looks really nice! Great job! Hope you guys will be toasty warm with the new boiler. Really enjoy watching all your progress! Thank you for sharing, take care, stay well! Much love Katy x (Ontario, Canada)
Thank you, saving the oil for the family, so we are just working harder to keep warm atm!
Love the plaster effect you have created with the stencil, I might steal it!! Also painting the panelling the same colour as the walls looks fantastic x
Go for it Lilybet, it looks amazing close up
It is beautiful. Gorgeous. You did very well, Carol with your spackling.
Thank you Judi
I loved the way the gold paint turned out instead of the gold leaf on the door. Very rich looking. And i am going to show my age, lol, i have seen the plaster with a stencil technique eons ago, loved it then and now. Great job. Maybe since matching the plaster finish with same color in paint is turning into a chore, just pick a totally new color for all the other walls. Be a little less stressful. Keep up all your good work and take care of yourselves.
Thank Angela, I've been trying different finishes today, but have yet to decide
I'm obsessed with the plaster stencil, what an enchanting embellishment. Looking forward to seeing the final effect, when ever that comes about. You make it all look so easy but I'm sure its very hard work. The bathroom door gilding really brings everything up doesn't it, the taping off is a lot of work but it seems an easier method than applying the gold leaf. The next few weeks will be exciting as you get ready for your arrivals. Be sure and take care of yourselves so you can enjoy the festivities.
Thank you, it's full on til Christmas and then let's hope the family do get here
Carol, you are sooooo talented and determined!!! Keep it up. Hope your arms are healing from the pain!!!
Thank you Kathy, looking forward to a soak in the bath, when it's plumbed in
What about thé cost or heating ???
@@patriciadautry6721 I think Carole deserves some time out with luxury. Don’t worry it’s not a regular thing
Lovely effect! Do what pleases you! It's your home and your expressio there of! It's lovely! Carry on! You are doing such an inspiring job renovating your Chateau! Well done both of you! Very impressive and inspiring!
Well said Vivienne, we all have different tastes, otherwise the world would be a duller place.
I love the door with the design on it great job Carol 🤗🤗
Thanks so much! 😊
Great skill Carolle. Stencilling is at times frustrating but I love your patience with it.
Thank you Michelle
Love the stencil you made on the wall. The white doors with gold trim are beautiful it really brightens up the area.
Your master bath will be so lovely with all the special touches.
The gold gilding & paint are gorgeous.🌷
I love to see what you're up to and your creative ideas x
I'd really love to see more of the details before restoration inside and out of the chateau and any old artifacts you have found? Its lovely to see the chateau coming back to life xx
Maybe when we are a bit more organised at Christmas, Beth can do a video to update where we are at and show what's to come.
carol as you do blow me away with your talent as you will give anything a go and bye its has turn out so good as please please dont underrate yourself as its amazing off the first time skills on every room as that stencil is so great x
Thank you so much I am so happy with the stencil, just deciding on the finish now and wondering is it too big!
Loving the door very effective and the plaster art work I think will look beautiful. Well done you’re both working so hard to get it right before the family come for Christmas. X
It's a frantic few weeks ahead, looking forward to a rest over the festive season. Thank you
Great idea!!! You are fearless!!! You can also mix your paint with this and have it already "painted" gold and eliminate one step. You guys are amazing!!!! Watching always from Indiana.
Thanks Vicki, I've been trying different finishes on it,will show in future videos
Love the gold trim!💕 You are both super talented! Can’t wait to see more! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Meri
You’re all doing an Absolutely Beautiful Job on your Chateau. It’s Looking Brilliant 🤩 Can’t wait to see more!!!

Carole, you are one hard working lady! Hubby isn’t too shabby either! Love the gold trim on the door. The plastered stencil is pretty.
Thank you Cindy, I think he gets the raw end of the deal!
🦘🦘🦘Carol you’ve really exceeded any expectations I had for the ensuite. Love love the gold love the blue in the bedroom. It’s a great to see your progress. I know the boiler is terribly important as is the wood treatment but ‘Oh Carol’ you really leave us wanting more. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Ps Do it your way Hon 🦘🦘🦘
That's so kind of you Carrie, positive comments keep me going. I love decorating, which is why we bought such a big renovation project, although Adrian has been pulling out his hair (what's left)!!!
I do like the gold on the door and the stencilling will be lovely
Thanks Leigh
LOVE THE PLASTER!
It looks so good close up
Love the plaster effect, truly adds a special touch. Heat glorious heat, well done.
The heat is minimal, saving the oil for the family!
Love that stencil look. Awesome what you have accomplished with everything
Thankbyou Kathleen, it does look good close up
I like the door, quite subtle and effective. The stencil is also really good. Good work Carol. :-) Thanks for sharing.
Thank you John
Things are looking great!
You both work so hard, I’m happy you’re planning a family Christmas at the chateau. What a great reward for all your efforts:-)
Thanks Christopher, let's hope they still come with the new restrictions in place
I like the stenciling ; it's looks very chic . Carole admits she has never tried it before but as usual she aces it ; clever girl .
I do like to try thank you Cx
Love the plaster stenciling! You could even tint it a color or put some shimmer in it.
I've been trying different finishes, keep watching to see the results
I really liked our reclaimed cast iron radiators when we renovated a school house in Normandy in 2002. We bought 4 for 30 euros each. From a working system. 2x 12 column x 14 sections x 2ft high and 2x 4 column by 12 sections x 900 high wide. The heat as you say is fantastic. Our 3 bed stone house was around 95sqm and we had 13 radiators totalling 20kw output. Originally fitted a cheap Lamborghini oil boiler, but in 2008 took it out as getting through 600 litres in 6-8 weeks. Grandparents liked the heat. Replaced with a Villager boiler stove. 25 cubic metres of wood ran the radiators for 7 months of winter. Cost around 700 euro then in 2008 all seasoned, cut, delivered and ready to burn. The 3 cast iron radiators in the living room once the stove was installed in the room we could turn off as the stove heated the old school room of 35sqm and 4.2 metre high ceiling. The stove heated the 10 radiators.
Yes the heat we get off these old rads is amazing, which is why we won’t replace them
@@LifeAfterLaFerté Very sensible. Can't understand why people do. The output for their size is amazing. If I had a period home I would install cast iron radiators. Ours were the classic design.
My apt building is on steam radiators , love them so warm all the time. Not familiar with oil radiators ? Hard / impossible to find on new houses none in US , unless home is pre-1920ish
As always brought me a lot of joy and inspiration. Thank you! Can't wait for a new video 🥰
Thank you Tatyana
It's all looking good to me Love the stencil can't wait for the finished product 🤗 💐
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Sue it looks fab close up
The door with gold looks wonderful. WOW!! The 3D effect is awesome!! Interesting info about heating the chateau. Love from Vermont
Rebekah the stencil looks so good close up, next time we will show some of the finishes I've been trying
Love the stencilling, very posh !
Thank you Jean, it looks fab close up
Carole you are Wonder Woman, such a hard worker.
Thank you Christine
@@LifeAfterLaFerté you are welcome. Keep up the good work and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
Like the raised stencil effect.
Like the paneling and wall same color accentuates the height of the rooms .
carol thank you for the reply but no matter what room lays ahead it always seems that you seem two get the colour to match up and make the room so bright x just follow your heart as it will turn out great like all the hard work you put into as i did up a large room but i wanted it to let a lot off light in so i used a paint called sandstone
Wow. I had to really think about last weeks vlog. You completed so much in the room with the blackened roof. I loved your gold spray paint technique too. I imagine its faster and gave much better coverage. Great job
Thank you, the" blue china" room is a lovely room to work in with the sun streaming through its nice and warm.
Carole, I love the gilded paneling! And the plaster stencil is genius! We have a product here in the USA called "Rub N Buff". I'm not sure if you can get it in France or the UK (Amazon has it). It is more expensive than metallic spray paint, but less expensive than gold leafing. It works great! It comes in a tube and you can use your finger or a small paintbrush to apply it. Just a little dab goes a long way. It comes in many metallic colors. I recommend it if you can get it. Love from North Carolina USA
That sounds a little bit naughty to me!!!!! Never heard of it in the decorating world!
@@LifeAfterLaFerté it does sound naughty! But I promise it's a real thing!
It all looks so lovely, I love the gold on the door
Thanks Carly
That plaster stencil came out really pretty. Nice job.
Thanks Janice
You need to buy a case of blue 3M Painter's tape. It comes in all different widths but I would just get the one inch thick. That will give you a nice crisp edge.
Hello, I found your vlog today and really like it a lot. I'm buying a 18th century manor in the champagne area and will have a lot of restauration and renovation work to do. I'm very impressed by your plaster stencil and will definitely use this idea in my house. Where did you get the stencil from? Keep us posted on how you decide to do the plaster in the end....Thank you for posting your videos!!
I like it all. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Peggy
The gold panelling looks fantastic
Andrew 💐💜x
Thank you Andrew
Thanks for sharing what you do with the heating system and what your future plans are. Really great 👍🏻
Both the door and stencil are beautiful:)
Love the plastering effect. Very clever. :)
Thanks Jane
I love the affect with the plastering of the stencil, I would like to see what more you are going to do with it. Also I wonder if you added a color to the plaster an did a stencil what it would look like also.
Thank you Lauren, I have since been trying different finishes on the stencil, but as yet, undecided which way to go
Looks exceptional. Hard yakka renovating. Doing well
Thank you Jean
I really love that plaster cast; don't remember if I've ever seen anything like that before.
Thank you Mary
Love the stencil paint work is looking good thank you for sharing
Thank you Christine
The gold on the door is beautiful...and I want to try the plaster too. Thanks.
Yvette the plaster stencil looks so good close up, try it.
Love the gold on the door! I like the stencil idea, but won't it lack detail? Congratulations on the new(to you) boiler! I like the solid color walls for now, but you will do more with them later right Carol? Looking forward to seeing more of you and Adrian's progress! Hope the ground "gloves" helped!
Hi Melissa, I've been trying different finishes on the stencil, so keep watching.
In the blue room, I have wallpaper ready to put either side of the bed within panels, but until I decide on a bed size I can't put the panels up. Its frustrating to be delayed so many times , but will get there in the end
I love the plastering effect! 💕
Thank you Penny, me too
It is good you now have a working boiler. If your radiators are too hot to touch, your thermostat is probably too high. We have cast iron radiators (100+yrs old) in our home in Saskatchewan Canada. Radiant heat is amazing because it heats up the objects in the room not just blowing warm air into the room. We keep our thermostat at 21.5 C for daytime and 16 C for night time. In the summer we turn off the heating part and just retain the hot water.
I am amazed at how fast the work is progressing, we have been working on our home, a fraction of the size of yours, for the past 7 yrs.
Not having a listed building was a wise decision, too many hoops to jump through with them.
Thank you Veronica, we are looking forward to a rest at Christmas and then we can pace ourselves
I know that this is a bit late, but have you tried using the green painters tape. We have it here in North America so I’m thinking Europe would have it. The tape is used for exactly what your doing, perfect for clean lines and doesn’t take old paint off.🇨🇦
I like the plaster work. Giving it a gold rubbing would look fantastic.
Make sure you watch in the future to see all the effects I tried on the plaster
7:05 - I thought you said "bled the rats" :P Nineteen of them??!! Then I realised you meant radiators :P Whew!! XD
Ewwwww!!!!
Hi guys great job. Oh yes, warmer outside than in! Third winter here now for us and we’re in the south! Why not consider running individual pellet stoves and log burners. One ducting pellet stove can heat up to three rooms. This also means you can control zones too. So you could just run two stoves when it’s just you two, then run 3 or four stoves when the family are over? It’s the solution we have gone for now. 👍
Will look into this but I feel 1 boiler would be more efficient long term and take up less room. We can still isolate the zones not required by just closing off the rads. Next task for me will be to put thermostats on the rads and then hook the system up to my phone for better control.
Agree wood stoves are so efficient. I'd use them as a back up heat tho , not primary . Never used pellet stove tho
You are brilliant 🎉
Thank you 😊
Oh, I do like your stencil. You must be happy to have a boiler installed.
Yes, thank you Barbara
I think the gold leaf on the plaster flowers etc., look lovely but not so much on the insets on the doors. I think it would look more elegant plain because the insets don’t require highlighting. Same with baseboards - it looks more seamless if they are the same colour as the walls.
love the gold
Love the gold paneling and that blue bedroom, its too bad about the plaster in there though.
The door is so pretty!
Thank you Kathy
Carole , use blue masking tape , its known as painters masking tape , its low tack and wont damage the surface its on , as you mentioned the masking tape pulled some paint off the panel of your door . Lovely detail !!!!!!
It was out of stock, but managed to get some last night 👍
I thought the plaster stencil looked really effective. I like the hold paint on the door moulding. Personally I wouldn't do any more as I like à simple more classical look. But each to their own. Great to have some heating. You are both working so hard.
Thank you Germaine, I have sleepless nights about decor!!! And have even started dreaming about it!!
@@LifeAfterLaFerté I am not surprised, you sound just like me. Try something and if it doesn't work return to the drawing board. Which is exactly what you are doing.
Very nice.
Painters tape or green frog tape known here in Canada works way better than masking tape. Because it is a low tack tape it doesn't pull off paint underneath. Your doing an amazing job and keep up the good work - just thought this would save you some touch up work.
Hi Binks, they had sold out! Typical. I did mske thectspe less tacky by sticking it to my trousers first!!! Thank you for following
Omg Carole you make so much more work for yourself gilding every room and door…you could let the rooms speak for themselves just with selective painting and rugs and furniture!
Just gilding what was there originally!
You’ve don’t a lot of work, but I don’t like the walls and paneling being the same color. I like a contrast so people can actually see the detail work. Good progress!
PG Tips Pleased you have heat as it’s turned very cold 🥶 I’m laughing again u two making me laugh !! Love the plastering effect well done 👍 u have plenty of ideas 💡 till next time take care 👏👏👏🙏🏻👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Keep watching and laughing 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣
Plastering stencil👌🏻👏🏼 Could you spray paint it gold, after it is dry & b4 removing the stencil? Or would it muck up your stencil to much? Not be able to use multiple times? OR could your spray paint plaster with a water base color, then scrub stencil for reuse again? Would spraying PAM ( A fine spray oil for cooking)on the plastic stencil then plaster, dry & paint work? Making it easier to clean between uses. Would have to prevent PAM from touching the wall?
Carol you have stirred my creative juices flowing!💕😘Little Falls MN.
Karen, you sound like my mind, ticking over all the time with different ideas. Watch the next installment for effects I tried
I’ve seen the stencil plaster craft before! That may just the thing! Even if you don’t like it in the end it will scrape off, but it looks like a nice accent.
Beth did your dad just call you out…🤣😂🤣Looks like mom is getting it done walls stripped and painted more than the floor in the dining before Christmas. But Let There Be Heat 🔥🔥🔥
Adrian made good progress today on the floor so the race is back on. 😂😂😂
Tony, the floor will get finished in time, otherwise no Christmas Dinner for Adrian!
Yes Tony he did call me out 😂😂 dont worry I'll get my own back at him!! -Beth
@@bethcushing187 😂👍🏻
@@LifeAfterLaFerté 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Hey Adrian you’ve been warned!
I do like the plaster scroll work. Put some good on it and I think it would be stunning. TTFN
Keep watching to see what finishes I've tried
🤦♀️ gold 🥴 I will keep watching ❤️
In the US we use blue painter's tape instead of masking tape. The painters tape is a little less tacky but tacky enough that it seals the edge but not so tacky that it takes off wall, door or trim paint.
They had sold out! I did make it less tacky by sticking it to my trousers first!!
Have you tried venetian plaster on the stencil ? its a great product for stencils and for entire walls. Done right it looks like marble/stone I did 2 rooms in my hose and it turned out great, takes a long time though due to letting the first coat dry completely.
Do you have an Amazon wishlist that your subscribers can access? I for one have many times thought I would love to send you something for all the joy I get watching your videos.
Thank you so much Rose this is a very sweet thought! We are more than happy with just having people to share our journey with, the support you give us is plenty enough 😊
That's so kind Rose thank you. Both Bethany and I have milestone birthdays in the next month and we are both a nightmare to buy for!!!!! So spending it together will be special in itself. Thank you for your continued support, Carole xxx
Have you tried a small round brush and then lightly dab at gold? Just suggestion. Still looks wonderful. 🤗
Thank you Danda, I'll give anything a go, as you can tell!
When removing the tape try using the hairdryer with one hand on low and pull the tape with the other hand!
Love the plaster through the stencil effect - would never have thought to do that! Will we get to see Beth at Christmas so that we can put a face to the voice?
Hahahahaha possibly! I havent thought about it yet 😂 not sure if I'd rather just be a voice! -Beth
Are the bonsai on your channel yours? I adore bonsai's!! I need to collect more! - Beth
If she doesn't show her face soon, I will personally plaster Instagram with her beautiful face, especially as her 21st birthday is approaching! Carole xx
@@LifeAfterLaFerté Yes they are some from my collection. Thanks Carol! Sorry Beth the fans are demanding a face reveal!
What about a Fleur-de-lis, on the panels, Carole?

Look into wood chips instead of pellets!! Just saw another Chateau owner say, that wood chips was alot cheaper and more easily available!
Also turns out they may not be very "green" because of the energy to produce them and for some reason the price may be increasing substantially.
Yes our friends Billy and Phil have explored this for their Chateaus. When we are ready to upgrade we will consider all options.
Interesting, the gold paint works better than the gold leaf. The raised look from the plaster stencil will be amazing.
Thanks Glen
Agreed, actual gold leaf , is like wet tissue paper on your fingers, layering peice by piece with each piece sliding off your fingers or bunching up w each piece. VS gold paint ( high end ones) will look great 👍. I've used both in art projects. And actual gold leaf, ugh never again.
OMG...How tall is the ceiling in the bedroom you are refinishing? It looks like a very tall ceiling..
It's actually one of the lower ceilings!
Caroline buy blue low tack masking tape you won't have the problem of peeling paint in the future when you remove the tape
They'd sold out!
Maybe before sticking the masking tape to the wood pull the strip on and off of your trousers to stop the tape being so sticky if you understand then when you do mask up it won't pull the paint off

We still have two businesses in 🇬🇧
IN the tv room would u consider wallpaper instead of paint?
Absolutely I love wallpaper, although with these high ceilings, it's not very cost-effective, I've been getting 2 lengths out of 1 roll!
Not happy with a double bed as a single person? Your rooms are looking very nice
There's two adults and one 3 year old, for now they can share a double and a 4 foot, until I find the right bed, but this will hold up the decor, as I am planning details either side of the bed, but the width will determine where on the wall I place the panelling. Just another delay that we are used to.
Doors with gold ,great job, stencil great, wall colour would look fantastic dark sage, dark dusty pink or some other bark colour, would enhance the gold, but then it’s not my chateau……. Unfortunately!!
Haha, you wouldn't want the running and reno costs, just keep watching!
No I’d have to win lottery before I could live my dream of owning a chateau, because everything would have to be my first choice with no compromises, that’s the trouble of being a perfectionist. Take care and have a wonderful Christmas x
