SO true about Amaury, but I do love seeing Amaury and Natie ‘chatter’ at one another 😊. What I LOVE most about LaLande Stephanie is how a stressful situation so often turns into laughter! We can’t help but love you all!
Dear Stephanie I couldnt get over how you where so adverse to the the new table and carpet?? Yes the table needed some help but the options of length and that is wide enough to really show off the plate settings and the flowers 🌸 and not to discount the times you need the beautiful terrines and gravy boats etc that Philip invested in this new to you table is fantastic❣️And that carpet is absolutely gorgeous‼️Im sure looking forward to seeing future dinners at Lalande❣️
Amaury to the rescue. Glad he could make the table work. I love the rug (actually, it reminds me of the rug that was in my room growing up). Also love the angel sculptures.
I just Amaury, he is succinct but also kind. You are so lucky to have his expertise, Stephanie. I hope you are paying him appropriately, he is a treasure.
Poor Amaury. He is so patient, talented and really should be consulted before any more purchases. He needs to be respected and taken care of. What a treasure that man is.
@@hisnewlife3543That’s why he closed his business and came to LaLande, so he could leave ‘his legacy work’ for the future and have variety rather than routine work to make ends meet. Also he has more work input and flexibility rather than strictly catering to clients wishes.
This episode made me laugh so hard at so many different places. Stephanie jumping up and down because of the bread, Amaury and Nati’s sassy little comments to each other, all the jokes about the dress, the table trouble and eventual success. Something about it felt like a throwback vlog!
Amuary you are a Saint, I would have lost my tolerance a long time ago. I am looking forward to the Grand salon and the heating system which you need for guests.
Amaury and family lived with Stephanie's family for years. He was trained by his father and Stephanie's father. He said at the patrons weekend that he loves the variety of work. Not doing 100 toilets in a row, he said.
I feel for Amauray he is always the one fixing things up thus taking him away from his original tasks! He is number one in my book. Not emotive as Phillip & a consistent buyer.
Oh dear me! When Amaury saw all the defects and additions underneath your new dining table, my heart sunk. He truly saved the day and after all the fixing it looked splendid. The carpet is stunning and does make the dining room more elegant. I am in love with your Ardmore vase. ❤🌸🐘🔨
My husband who was a pre-internet antique dealer calls it cloojed (spelling?) when two or more items are grafted together. It's usually quite an insult, but for this table we'll make an exception 😊
Amaury is charming, kind and absolutely talented and has lovely sense of humour. When he is featured , we all are cheered up and have smile on our faces . ❤😊❤
The table actually looks fabulous with the side board. And the rug picks up the light blue gray from the wall paper, the green from the chairs and curtains and the pink in the curtain lining . It actually looks perfect. Phillips taste is immaculate ❤
I too noticed how well they match made them look like a set! But if Stephanie can't get used to the red, I'm sure Amory can reveneer it to oak or walnut, really any wood veneer, he's a magician with wood! Perhaps he's one of the Keebler elves🧝♀️🧝♂️???
Doctor Amaury! to the rescue. You know all will be well when Amaury comes and fixes everything in his calm patient way and also letting Stephanie and Philip know about their purchases ha ha. Love it, love all the banter between you all.
Having worked in a U.K. auction house for ten years next time please ask for a condition report and further images taken in natural lighting !! They rarely look like the highly filtered pics and that way you would have known about any breakages and new additions . I agree with Stephanie it’s very red and I don’t like the spray varnish finish ….but it’s a good size and looks good with a tablecloth !!
I think that table looks *WAY* better than the one you had before, especially without the table cloth (looks nice with it too, but without it makes the chateau look more like a chateau). I understand the worry about getting crumbs (and some spillage?) on the rug, but that room absolutely needed a rug. That tile is too rough for such a nice dining area and was too rough on those chairs. I know the quality of the table wasn't good, but it *looks* quality, and really elevated that room. Well done.
I know you feel it's a little bit grand, but I absolutely love that table without a tablecloth! It really pulls the wood tones together, and grounds the room. It reads very breakfasting-at-a-country-house!
I think the table length and width is much better considering the very grand dinning ritual with all the beautiful china that is a part of the La Lande guest experience. Yes that the rug is not long enough and makes the room feel smaller. Agreed the very dark cherry color of the table makes it look more missive but the use of table cloths and place mats will cover that up. I think the positives far outweigh the negatives. Good luck!
_"Nothing that you buy Stephanie is usable,"_ said brutally honest cousin. Hahaha. The angels have a touch of creepiness, due to the deep shadowing around the childlike faces.
@@gaslitworldf.melissab2897 It’s terrible to say that nothing she buys is useable. She and Phillip do buy items that need work. She and her parents and a friend bought the old château that constantly needs repair.
Watermelon needs a lot of space away from cucumber and courgettes. The cross-pollination makes lovely cucumbers, etc, but the watermelons....not so much.😅
I think you should commission those adorable angels for your new online shop. Customers can order them and they can be shipped directly from the artist with a small up-charge for the benefit of LaLande. They will be great at Christmas. Imagine the annual pair of LaLande angels for the year to come? It could be a fabulous partnership! Next year you could have input for the 2025 angel, too. Of course if the artist is able and willing. It can be a limited edition. But what a boost for her, too. Actually, you could do this with other artists as well just like you do with Michael Pott’s photos and the other drawings by Andy and the other Michael. ❤ Have you thought about commissioning porcelain with your father’s drawings? What a dessert set that would make!
Amaury is hilarious reining in his temper. Phillip … when will they realize you’ve never failed in your improvements. That table is awesome. Even with the previous owners Shenanigans. And when dinner was served it looked stunning. The rug was perfect. I slap you on the back. 😂
what I love about this particular chateau channel is the make-do attitude. When Philip said the table might not be their forever table, but would be just fine as their for-a-long-time table I thought what an admirable mindset.
Sorry Philipp no hard feelings but when I see the new table I think of the German saying "Ein Griff ins Klo" which translates to „a grasp into the toilet“ and is an informal way of describing a decision that turned out poor. I like the wonderful country style table a lot better and think that you will never be able to use the new, huge table without hiding it with a huge cloth. Shit happens. I am sure one day you will find a wonderful table that suits the room perfectly with Stephanie in France!
Looks Phillip and Marie proved me wrong in next video. Does look better with the breakfast set&clothes but I would still recommend to continue the search for a big country style table that fits better before big red falls apart.
I thought Stephanie’s dinner dress was perfect for the new Von Trapp family villa-sized table and I was kind of imagining her skipping in to the dining room singing “Schnitzel with green beans and spaetzle with noodles, creamy whipped topping with crisp apple strudels, a selection of fine wines that’s fit for wise kings, these are a few of my favorite things.” But no, dinner was much enjoyed by all apparently without the hint of a song and ended on a high note with another of Marie’s extraordinary desserts.
I think many people would have waited an extra day or two to use the table after a repair instead of using it the same night. No wonder Nati was stressed. That must be some quick drying epoxy!
Amaury is so good! And I totally agree with him (as I do on most things!) about the rug. It looks warm and will reduce any clatter and noise. Much better for dinnertable conversations. The table looks great too.
“Nothing you buy Stephanie is ever usable “ in case you did not hear what Amaury said with a straight face as he squatted under the broken new table. I adore the old table, why was that always covered up? Loved Molly sitting under the table to hide the damage!! Namaste 🙏
@@tumbleweeduk7479 The old table’s extension leaves were plain mdf so they could not leave the table bare and the table was also restricted in length. Philip also purchased the new table to reduce the high laundry bills by being able to use placemats for breakfasts and lunches.
I am not an expert but I suspect that table will need two more sets of legs towards the middle, to keep it from sagging. My family used to have a very, very long antique table and its built-in legs were more evenly spaced.
Thank you so much for the tour through the English garden. Love what Brian is doing with the gardens. it looks like you were able to get the wood chips that were needed. Yay! As far as the rest goes, I'm not a fan of too much stuff or perhaps "busyness" is the better word. Understand the need for a rug and it may be due to how my computer screen does color, but the rug looks very blue and not working with the rest of the colors in the room. It's a lovely rug and the dining room needs one. Just not sure that's the one. Speaking of winter, what is going on with the heating system? Best to all.
I do heartily enjoy watching the restoration & events of your life. What keeps me coming back is how wonderful all of you are! The food was exquisite! Bravo to the gents on the successful table repair. Many blessings to all.❤
My dog's favorite place is under a gigantic Chippendale table. I love the grand Chippendale chair that doesn't match the others. My adopted Himalayan cat who has been ferile, had to be inside, recovering from an injury. His first choice was under my bed. My Lhaso Apso/Maltese dog from the street, was in attack mode, considering under the bed as HIS domain. So the cat chose under the table as his next choice. Thought Angel would start another attack. So the cat had to be isolated three days in my dressing room. He meowed in desperation throughout the night. Finally, his injury was closed with glue, and he can be outside again. Thinking if Sir Galahad ever decides to take the new table as a fortress, it will be hard to get him to surrender it, too. I so enjoy the company of the videos. I can see how healing Sir Galahad has been.
We had our very long mahogany table made wider because we love wine…my husband owns a shop. We had runners made to match placemats…so glasses would not ruin the wood.
Hi Stephanie and all, I suggest for the first dinner with new guests, use a tablecloth, if you can find one that fits. On the second night no tablecloth. The new table adds elegance to a grand room and the addition of the carpet also elevates the room. Our dining table with all leaves and fully extended seats 18 comfortably. The way that Phillip lays the table and Maria does the flowers, always looks elegant. Now the new table adds just a bit more to the room and to be able to extend it that much to accommodate larger groups keeps everyone in the picture. It may take time to get used to the new look in the room, but eventually, you just love it. Mark & Scott
A carpet in the dining room is a great idea. A very large sisal rug will create a more contemporary yet rustic look, suitable for such a rural chateau, complimenting your wall paper and new chairs. Your chateau would benefit from a 21st Century chateau aesthetic, a paired back luxury that allows key pieces to shine, a direction I feel you are moving toward. The 'new' chintzy blue/pink, floral rug is too fussy and clashes with rather than supports your design scheme and table scapes. What you have accomplished in the recently renovated marquess suite is lovely.
I loved the dress you put on and the color especially. Table worked out in the end didn't it. Thanks Amaury for all you do there they are so fortunate to have you.
The dark brown wood plays off of buffet and the two of them together are a knockout. I think this took the room to a whole new level. Bravo to Phillip for his ability to find locate wonderful finds. Bravo to Armory for his patience and skill. And thank you Stephanie for sharing your journey in life with us

Amaury really wanted to let Steph and Philip have some home truths about their purchases. A man of patience and talent.
The quote of the year, poor Amary "Is it a wonder I get nothing done'' priceless, thanks for the laughs.
Amuary is a treasure …… he saves the day at LaLand week after week
In addition to helping preserve the chairs, the carpet under the table will also make the dining room quieter.
And warmer 🫶🏻
I always use felt pads under my furniture legs.
Nothing ruins floors like chair and table legs..
Great point!!
And warmer
I like how Amaury acts as a 'diagnostician' and surgeon for these type of projects.
Amaury is the wood whisperer!
Amaury is a doll !
I think the rug helps even if it's mostly under the table, because the bare tiles seem cold. It provides more of a sense of comfort.
Agreed!
@@LaReynedEpee weird tile for a “dining room”

I love Amary saying it like it is. "Nothing you buy Stephanie is usable."
Well if you buy vintage rather than new, age affects condition🤷♀️
LOL that cracked me up.. HAHA Poor Amaury! haha
I was cracking up! But he was still smiling and he fixed it. Nati and Hani had me laughing so hard.

😂 sibling humor
Omg, Amaury and Natalia doing newlyweds' jokes already is hilarious!! 😅😂
Those angels were lovely!😊
@@jaysmith8199 I was hoping the other had a Lancelot.
Amaury can fix any that’s worth keeping he is the master of wood work ❤
Amaury is far too talented for that. He should have his own fine master carpentry studio. He really deserves it.
@@hisnewlife3543I’m sure if Amaury wanted that he would! Stop with trying to run his life!
Aumary is extremely talented!!!! And so patient. It is obvious you all have different talents that cause LaLande to be successful ❤
Philip is also very patient and calm.
The table comes across as stunning ! Love the carpet underneath.. to my eye the room looks much more in keeping with the idea of a chateau😊
I think so too
Yes, is it an antique Aubusson?❤
I love dining room transformation. Carpet looks great , and table really makes room even grander. Well done team LaLande.
Amaury to the rescue. Glad he could make the table work. I love the rug (actually, it reminds me of the rug that was in my room growing up). Also love the angel sculptures.
Always when coming home from auctions the wood glue is essential….. Well done!
That table with the rugg takes the room to another level, very beautiful. I think Phillipe is gonna have a lot of fun dressing it.
I just Amaury, he is succinct but also kind. You are so lucky to have his expertise, Stephanie. I hope you are paying him appropriately, he is a treasure.
I just love, love, love Amaury
Yes, hope the success is shared among the team. But keep buying, second hand is fabulous and sustainable.
Poor Amaury. He is so patient, talented and really should be consulted before any more purchases. He needs to be respected and taken care of. What a treasure that man is.
Amaury said he loved the variety of jobs he did at Lalande at the patrons' weekend. He said it was better than doing 100 toilets in a row.
I just wish he had his own business and only did master carpentry. He would be amazing at it.
@@hisnewlife3543I envision that years in the future, that he will be engaged in special projects for chateaux throughout France.
@@hisnewlife3543That’s why he closed his business and came to LaLande, so he could leave ‘his legacy work’ for the future and have variety rather than routine work to make ends meet. Also he has more work input and flexibility rather than strictly catering to clients wishes.

I love the LaLande angels! So unique and personal. Very nice! The table looks very grand!
Love the size. Room looks grander. The table doesn’t look as shiny when objects are on it.
Great purchase, Philip!!!
Runners would work well on your new table.
Yay Amaury for fixing the table. It is so much bigger. Well done.

I find the room looks bigger, and definite yes! for the carpet .
Amaury is the silent carpenter whisper. So patient and calm. Fantastic work Amaury and Château family all working together. Bravo.
I feel for Amauray he is always the one fixing things up thus taking him away from his original tasks! He is number one in my book. Not emotive as Phillip & a consistent buyer.
Thank Heaven for Amaury

The dining room looks SO much better now.
Yes, I thought it looked more proportionate and homely.
Lalande is a reunion of talents. Between all of you, this chateau could not exist and we would not have the huge pleasure to see all of this.

You bought a Frankenstein table!😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣❣️🤗
My husband who was a pre-internet antique dealer calls it cloojed (spelling?) when two or more items are grafted together. It's usually quite an insult, but for this table we'll make an exception 😊

Amaury is charming, kind and absolutely talented and has lovely sense of humour. When he is featured , we all are cheered up and have smile on our faces . ❤😊❤
The table actually looks fabulous with the side board.
And the rug picks up the light blue gray from the wall paper, the green from the chairs and curtains and the pink in the curtain lining .
It actually looks perfect.
Phillips taste is immaculate ❤
I too noticed how well they match made them look like a set! But if Stephanie can't get used to the red, I'm sure Amory can reveneer it to oak or walnut, really any wood veneer, he's a magician with wood! Perhaps he's one of the Keebler elves🧝♀️🧝♂️???
Amaury is probably the best Carpenter and problem solver in France
Doctor Amaury! to the rescue. You know all will be well when Amaury comes and fixes everything in his calm patient way and also letting Stephanie and Philip know about their purchases ha ha. Love it, love all the banter between you all.
What a lovely vlog, everyone’s humor in sync today so beautiful and I was laughing almost the entire time. ❤ to all
Having worked in a U.K. auction house for ten years next time please ask for a condition report and further images taken in natural lighting !! They rarely look like the highly filtered pics and that way you would have known about any breakages and new additions . I agree with Stephanie it’s very red and I don’t like the spray varnish finish ….but it’s a good size and looks good with a tablecloth !!
Did I miss something. I thought the idea was placemats not tablecloths?😀
As far as I understood, placemats will be for breakfast
I think that table looks *WAY* better than the one you had before, especially without the table cloth (looks nice with it too, but without it makes the chateau look more like a chateau). I understand the worry about getting crumbs (and some spillage?) on the rug, but that room absolutely needed a rug. That tile is too rough for such a nice dining area and was too rough on those chairs. I know the quality of the table wasn't good, but it *looks* quality, and really elevated that room. Well done.
I think so too the table makes the room look even Grander now .
I couldn't agree more !
The rug completes the room, IMO:)
I know you feel it's a little bit grand, but I absolutely love that table without a tablecloth! It really pulls the wood tones together, and grounds the room. It reads very breakfasting-at-a-country-house!
It goes so well with the buffet too.
The rug will absorb noise too. It all looks lovely
I think the table length and width is much better considering the very grand dinning ritual with all the beautiful china that is a part of the La Lande guest experience. Yes that the rug is not long enough and makes the room feel smaller. Agreed the very dark cherry color of the table makes it look more missive but the use of table cloths and place mats will cover that up. I think the positives far outweigh the negatives. Good luck!
When your cousin gets caught up, he would make you a glorious table. May be a few years, ok a lot of years.😊
Would be interesting to know what the description of the table was at the auction, and always ask for a condition report! ❤
That loaf looks fantastic!
This was the quickest start to finish 'renovation' of the table. Thoroughly enjoyable!! Well done Amaury!
Amuary to the rescue (again). 😀Nice video Stephanie.
I love the new table, it looks so chic and the chairs and the rug are perfect. Well done everyone!

Blue Velvet. Bobby Vinton. I remember it well.
What a lovely episode. So real and natural.❤
Angels are so unique and beautiful 😍
Amaury is a beautiful soul as is everyone else. I met them all. 💕
The table looks great, with or without a cloth. Glad Amaury was around to fix it up.
It looks beautiful. I was optimistically skeptical about how everything in the room would look together but it looks great.

I love those angels!! It would be a great Christmas gift!
The Table is absolutely fabulous (great find Philip) the rug adds that comfy loving homey feel to the room, wonderful addition.❤
I loved the dress you put on and the color especially. Table worked out in the end didn't it. Thanks Amaury for all you do there they are so fortunate to have you.
Cannot wait for the fountain to be installed so they may start on Stephanie's HAMEAU along the new lake in the woods.....
The Lalonde Comedy Show! A happy fun day!
The angels are wonderful
The dark brown wood plays off of buffet and the two of them together are a knockout. I think this took the room to a whole new level.
Bravo to Phillip for his ability to find locate wonderful finds.
Bravo to Armory for his patience and skill.
And thank you Stephanie for sharing your journey in life with us
Stephanie looks like Maria from Sound of music in that brown, lovely dress.
