I loved seeing Benoit back in the chateau. He and Phillip were sparring again which is so cute. The smoking pipe that Benoit fashioned from wood was not only beautiful but so thoughtful. Benoit is a treasure.
You are both so much happier and full of energy after that time away on the boat! Im glad you took a break! You both definitely seem more joyful and enthusiastic!
Little tip for picture hanging: cut pieces of paper the same size as pieces to be hung, mark where the nail should be on the papers, tape papers to wall to figure out where you'd like to put the pictures, once placement is decided its easy to see where to put the nail.
The excitement around the new 3D printer is understandable, but please have Benoit make your drawer dividers. It'll be a perfect fit (no gaps!! So satisfying) and you can pick a gorgeous wood like walnut or oak or even paint it the same colour as the drawer if that's what you prefer.
Thank you Mom and Dad for having created your talented and lovely daughter. Thank you for helping your daughter and her family with their chateau renovations. I can envision her and Phillip helping their daughters with their homes. Such a strong family which absolutely includes Phillip’s mother.
Hanging pictures can test any marriage, you both seemed to survive and they look nice. Glad you’re back and can’t wait to see the master suite finished. Love all your treasures Anna.
I have always been very traditional in my taste in interiors, particularly in historic homes and buildings, but l like the way you put a contemporary spin on the decor of the chateau. It looks fresh and updated while still maintaining the spirit of a traditional chateau. The mirrors in the bathroom look amazing. Also like that you painted the radiators to blend in with the walls and paneling. Great to see you back home looking refreshed and ready to complete your renovation projects.
It 's obvious that your trip away has given you new life and energy! I loved following you on your gorgeous boat and seeing the sites and now I'm looking forward to following you around your chateau! Well done on carving the Captains pipe Benoit!!
Brass/gold wall candle holders (with long stick candles) on one of the the other walls in the small bathroom would be a nice feature and go well with the black and white photos!
It's good to see you all back home 🏡 and looking well rested. It's always nice to have Mum and Dad to lend a hand and just spend time with them. I love the pictures in the toilet room, perhaps one medium frame on the side walls will balance the whole look. The black and white theme is quite dramatic 😊 love it ❤❤
We had a large mirror like that, just adhered with the liquid nails and it decided to come down. I would put the hangers on it as well as the adhesive. I was standing in front of it, put my hand out and the faucets kept it from crashing down. Didn't lose the mirror either.
Phillip I would give you husband of the World for your capabilities, your sense of humor, your planning of a fantastic trip and execution of it and for your vlogs each week. I am sure there are more reasons. Oh yes and for marrying the sweet and beautiful Anna.
Lovely to be back at the chateau and with the lovely Benoit! I loved the captains pipe he made for Philipp, and congratulations on being chosen to grace the pages of the paper/magazine, Benoit! Anna, your parents are amazing! The mirrors are perfect adding light and interest. And the printer... Philipps new interpretive toy......should keep him busy for hours on soggy miserable Winters days.
Wow guys, that sailing adventure has you smiling and bubbling like never before! There's a Swedish idiom "Omväxling förnöjer" meaning "variety (or a change of pace or scenery) pleases", and I think it's true for everyone, and especially people working at home. It's great to see you back at it! Anna, you have such a keen eye! The things you brought home from Sweden are really quintessentially Swedish items steeped in traditional crafts. I have a Gustavian wooden sofa in my kitchen and a fabric very similar to your heavier striped woven one sewn as a sofa cover I use for autumn and Christmas to add a pop of color and protect the cushion as my doggie friends love to lie there (I add a couple of sheepskins too once winter snows set in). I've table cloths in similar patterns to the other fabric. Love the earthenware with that creamy yellow and got my son and his wife 5 candle sticks all in different heights (and a spare that matches one of them in case they need a matching pair for dining) in exactly that style as the candelabra Filip found! I found them all at once at a brocante, incredibly, perhaps they came from the same collector, I was thrilled! They were pleased too, and it's fitting as my son's mother grew up the daughter of a worker at that brass manufacturer, a very famous one in Sweden. I highly recommend you order some acid free framing tape. It may seem pedantic, but really isn't, your prints will start yellowing in no time at all without it. But regularbtape will ruin them in weeks, so just make sure it's acid free paper tape and you'll have it on hand for any reframing purposes. Mirrors are gorgous! Love how they accentuate the height and add dimension! Oh and I never actually thought 3D printers were useful around the house like this at all. I certainly learned something new! How cool is it btw, to have your dad make your bespoke Barbie furniture?! Nice to see parents helping out, always so sweet. Keep smiling guys, this transformation is huge! This trio of private luxury is goingbto be the most beautiful space ever, I'd be very surprized if you don't get multiple requests from interior design magazines and online channels once you're done with this suite! ❤👌😍
❤❤❤❤❤ so happy to see you ALL (including mom and dad) busily work again. It’s gorgeous so far and simply a work of art. I adore Benoit, you are lucky to have him.
Tip on hanging multiple pictures in a group: Cut out paper the same size as the frames and test what you want by taping them on the wall. You can try all sorts of different configurations to find the best. In the US, the general recommendation (by who? I don't know) is 60" (152.4 cm) on center. Meaning the center of your photograph (or grouping) , is 60 inches from the ground. All my art in my home is 63" on center (I'm taller and I prefer that). There is always some math involved, but it's pretty quick. Because the wire hangers on the back can vary, I do the math for each--and write it on the back of the piece so I know how to hang it if I move the art or paint the room. As always, another gorgeous video.
The dressing room mirrors are stunning!!! What a lovely touch to this amazing space. Anna, your holiday treasures compliment the chateau beautifully. I know you will put everything in just the right spot. I vote for colormatching the organizers, or choose a complimentary color that will bring joy every time the drawer is opened!!! Blessings!!!
The mirrors are an awesome touch inside the moulding. For the black frames, one thing that you could use to fill in the cracks or breaks in the frame is Milliput, an epoxy putty that is easily moldable and can be sanded to a smooth finish and then painted. I have used it to repair broken tiles, including Delft, and other pottery and even cracks and missing pieces in floor tiles. Love the black and white paintings. They make a nice grouping.
Wow that barbie furniture would’ve been a blast when I was lily’s age and played with barbies. I use to sew furniture for the barbies from small leftover materials. It took me three days to make a sleeping bed. 😂
😂 Complementing the mirror. Barbie furniture from a 3 D printer. That is very cool. Can not wait to see the master bedroom fully done. Everyone seems to be refreshed and energetic and happy. Good to see Hugs from 🇨🇦
You may already do this but if not, get a bit of Blu tack and put under the lower right hand corner of each picture you hang to keep them straight. I say right hand because I keep it consistent so I know where to pull it off if I take the picture down later.
Everything you brought back from your trip is beautiful. Who would have thought a 3D printer could solve kitchen drawer problems. Loved this video! Congratulations to Benoit!
So much delightful, creative content in this video. Love the paint stirrer drill attachment made with the 3d printer! Great seeing Benoit again too. Definitely a joy-instilling video; thank you!
I so enjoyed your videos on your summer of sailing in Sweden , but it’s nice to see you and your loved ones back at the chateau and working on these projects. Ziggy is as adorable as ever,I bet he’s glad to see you! Congratulations to Benoit on his article! I hope his fame doesn’t change him …kidding of course. Your bedroom suite is just so lovely. The colors, the lighting are so calming. The 3D printer looks amazing and so useful. So sweet to see the Barbie furniture Philip made for Lily. When you were sailing I saw the Barbies floating along side the boat I had to smile because my granddaughter would do the same . Love all your treasures you brought back from your trip!
I have a similar painted wooden bowl that came from my great grandmother in the northern Highlands of Scotland so not far from Scandinavia. Her maiden name was Anderson.
I like your photographs in your bathroom. My only suggestion is to put them a little closer together so they look like one unit instead of four separate.
I am Happy you came home again! Can’t wait to see the developing of the decoration of the master suite. Love the little Swedish art works in the toilet. You are amazing. I am enjoying so much your podcast. Thank you.
I think your group of four Swedish paintings in the bathroom should have been a bit closer together, so the group of four comes together as one…. More focussed. 😊
Another comment. I spent the money to have custom drawer dividers made. In actuality the manufacturer made full-drawer inserts that offered adjustable slots. I had my choice of wood or heavy/sturdy acrylic. I absolutely LOVE these drawer organizers.
I am a gallerist and art advisor and I think the prints in the bathroom need to be rehung. The distance between the prints should be the same in the 2 up and the 2 across. They are also too far apart. Ideally you would measure the width of each print. Then find the dimension that equals one third of that overall width of the print.. Then use that 1/3 dimension as the spacing between the prints on all sides. For example in creating a 2 up and 2 across arrangement, having 4" between each print would be more harmonious.

Step 5: Lightly mark wall just above 60" with the "to the hook" amount you figured out in step 4. Step 6: Hang art Example: Picture is 20" high Middle is at 10" (this mid point should rest at 60" from the floor) tight wire comes to 2" below the top 10" - 2" = 8" Lightly mark 8" above your first mark or 68" on the wall Hang up art!
@@HowToRenovateAChateauTo me it makes sense to put the pictures where one can enjoy them while sitting! What else would you be in there and what is the point then? A mirror on the back wall would allow the person to check that all was in order before going out.
When doing the hanging of the pictures …find the centre point of the whole thing.place one of the pictures in the middle so the middles match then draw around. Then you have the 4 points of the 4 pictures . Top left etc etc..
Love the large mirrors 4:12 but my only suggestion is to paint the back side of the frame molding with flat black paint so that after the moldings are in place the reflection of the back side of the frames is black and less noticeable around the edges of the mirror.
Beautiful projects and objects! Those mirrors are amazing! {While a 3-D printer might be tempting, yet in a world more than polluted with plastic, all of our organs containing micro- and nanoplastic particles, especially children‘s organs being badly affected, I think we should reduce instead of creating more plastic objects. Phthalates in plastic affect our hormonal balance, more cancer on the way. The fumes of heated plastic are a health hazard too. An international conference at Dublin University recently showed all the evidence of a very serious health threat, increasing every single day 😢 If the machine would at least print with bamboo filaments…}
I think one of my most favorite enduring occurrences on this channel over the years is how much crap Benoit gives Phillip. I absolutely gobble that up lol.
You have done this as a absolutely fab show case for advertising. My few observations are the chef in shorts and the plastic sqirt bottle in dressing the dish and using a napkin to wipe the lip of the gravy boat. I do understand that this is a test run. You will do so very well in drawing those whom will love to wedded and or stay for R&R. My regards. Shaelene Read. Australia
Welcome home, but what an amazing adventure you all had. Excited to see you back at the restorations, and new projects. One other chatladers created a replica of their chateau with the 3 D printer...so cute and could be a nice Christmas ornament 🤗
Welcome back, small piece of advice on picture hanging: 2 fixings for every picture stops them falling crooked, that's what galleries do, and a spirit level and measuring tape.
Love the printer, I taught 3D printing prior to the pandemic, we had much larger bulky printers, don’t let the filament dry up, print more things for the kids if nothing else, I would also unload the filament between jobs. I had another really nice website I can’t remember right now I will try to remember. You can also issue 3D max and design your own items.
I've done mirror installations and made glass and mirror furniture for probably thirty some years. I've never seen white mirror mastic before. It's always been black. Even the stuff in the tube and there aren't too many brands available. Using things like caulk and liquid nails can be tricky because it's very easy to "burn" the back of the mirror and have black spots begin to show through in a few months. Also, mastic will not support the weight of mirror. It will only keep it stuck to the wall. Good Luck. Jack L.
Just a note from my hand surgeon guy: don’t hit anything with the palm of your hand so that it hits the butt of your palm. All the nerves to our hands come out thru the wrist there, including the Carpel Tunnel nerve. Crushing garlic, squeezing lemons, or smashing chisels onto a door frame with the butt of your palm hurts those delicate nerves, leading to surgery on your hand. Instead, curl your fist and hit whatever with the chubby outside of you fist or another hard object. ❤😊Live long and prosper!
❤Hello Benoit❤ Lovely to see you all together once more❤ Anna and Phillip you both look wonderful after your holiday, the fresh sea air was definitely a winner for you all❤ Love from Western Australia ❤❤❤

@@HowToRenovateAChateau Having a formula in hanging art saves time. I take a formula, and then Imay adjust depending on the specific situation.
Here is a formula that I have used with art installers, in residences, gallery and museum exhibitions:
Hanging Art Formula, Museum Hang
60” middle
60” middle good for principal rooms (and rooms with high ceilings)
57” middle can used for more intimate spaces like small bedrooms with low ceilings
The middle (or center) of each picture is 60” from the floor
Step 1: Measure and lightly mark 60" on the wall, measuring up from your floor.
Step 2: Measure artwork and divide by 2 (this gives you the center)
Step 3: Measure top of your picture to the tightened wire (or wherever you''ll hanging it from).
Step 4: Subtract that "tight wire" amount from number you figured out in step 2. This will tell you how far above 60" your hook should go.
Step 5: Lightly mark wall just above 60" with the "to the hook" amount you figured out in step 4.
Step 6: Hang art
Example:
Picture is 20" high
Middle is at 10" (this mid point should rest at 60" from the floor)
tight wire comes to 2" below the top
10" - 2" = 8"
Lightly mark 8" above your first mark or 68" on the wall
Hang up art!

All four together, and a bit closer together…
The bathroom needs a fabric wall hanging to deaden the echoes. Or one larger painting.
I wore Swedish clogs all over Melbourne in winter
Welcome back, small piece of advice on picture hanging: 2 fixings for every picture stops them falling crooked, that's what galleries do, and a spirit level and measuring tape.
Such a cool idea! I'd love my drawers to be customed to my items.
Hurray Benoit is back. Bonjour Benoit 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Bonjour le Canada 😊
Beautiful work all around 👍
Nice job you two 🇨🇦
Love the printer, I taught 3D printing prior to the pandemic, we had much larger bulky printers, don’t let the filament dry up, print more things for the kids if nothing else, I would also unload the filament between jobs. I had another really nice website I can’t remember right now I will try to remember. You can also issue 3D max and design your own items.
Thanks for the tips!
I've done mirror installations and made glass and mirror furniture for probably thirty some years. I've never seen white mirror mastic before. It's always been black. Even the stuff in the tube and there aren't too many brands available. Using things like caulk and liquid nails can be tricky because it's very easy to "burn" the back of the mirror and have black spots begin to show through in a few months. Also, mastic will not support the weight of mirror. It will only keep it stuck to the wall. Good Luck. Jack L.
23:12 Nice to be at the Chateau again!
Glad you guy's had a great vacation with your family
Your husband is very techno. That printer is used in schools here in Canada. I love the paint stirrer. I've missed your site and glad you are back.
The mirrors are beautiful!
Just a note from my hand surgeon guy: don’t hit anything with the palm of your hand so that it hits the butt of your palm. All the nerves to our hands come out thru the wrist there, including the
Carpel Tunnel nerve. Crushing garlic, squeezing lemons, or smashing chisels onto a door frame with the butt of your palm hurts those delicate nerves, leading to surgery on your hand. Instead, curl your fist and hit whatever with the chubby outside of you fist or another hard object. ❤😊Live long and prosper!
Watching the renovation process is so inspiring, can’t wait to see the final result! 👏🛠
My husband has an uncanny eye for hanging things. He never measures but it is precise everytime!
You can’t eyeball it like that Philip 🤌😂
I was literally talking to my computer screen - put all 4 on the same wall - lol!!
