Terry, if possible for a future marble repair especially if you are drilling a hole, combine the marble dust with the epoxy for a near invisible repair..
Wow that's really great information...... Thank you for telling him that because without meaning to you have helped me so thank you so much................
🍁When Terry was talking of staining the coving I thought “that is not going to work”. Then he is showing the vanitys all broken marble, i thought “they will look terrible”. Well, talk about ‘oh ye of little faith!! I ate all my words!! It all looks so beautiful!!😍. Well done Terry!! A job super well done!! I am impressed😁
You folks found some wall paper at the Chateau that I seems to recognized. I'm a former journeyman painter and wallpaper hanger. I live in Helena, Montana USA. I have hung this paper I believe in the early 1980's. It was very expensive then and it needs double cut as it salvage on both end. The paper is Van Luite. a company the is named after the artist from the "Art & Craft" era. You will be happy to know that the paper is still available and easier to hung without liner trim and prepasted. At 73, I can't help. but I love looking at your progress and I can at least offer this advise. Charles Michaud
You’re a true artisan Terry, and Ash, you’re such an incredible worker. What you’ve achieved in such a short time is absolutely incredible. I admire you both so much, you’re truly inspirational. I’ve turned an antique sideboard into a double vanity for our bathroom reno, and it’s much more difficult than it appears in your video. All that planning and modifying of panels and drawers. This just proves my existing observation, that you are a humble soul Terry. Humility is a wonderful quality, and is to be admired also. Thanks again, for the quality content.
Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear!!! Your washroom vanity is elegant and professional-looking! The woodgrain effect is stunning! 😊❤️🎶🌻🌺💗🎶🇨🇦🇫🇷
Ah, Terry. The artist's eye and the artist's patience. The coving looks grand. Great repurpose vanity, with usable drawers. So nice to see you and Ash relaxing, in the sunshine.
Hey all, love what you are doing by reclaiming old furniture to use for vanities, etc. May I respectfully suggest that you consider using a respirator mask when drilling that marble, though? That dust is not something you want getting in your lungs...blessings to you and your family!! And out of curiosity, may I ask what music is playing? That jazz is righteously smooth!!
Fantastic job on both the Coving and the sink unit Terry you are so creative. You and Ash make a great team, so pleased Jonathan enjoyed his Birthday. Enjoy the summer sunshine ❤
Never seen woodstain used this way! I've used tempera and linseed oil emulsions and shellack, but this was impressive with only one simple medium! I've been thinking of doing my own vanity when I get to my bathroom fix up, but been daunted by the various challenges involved, this really boosted my confidence in being able to give it a go myself. Thanks alot! 😊
A lot of careful, methodical work. Nothing is ever rushed which is why it always turns out so well. Terry is amazing and I’ve learned so much from watching him. Take for instance that wood grain tool. I had one and used it in a totally different way, like a stencil stamp. I didn’t drag it, I stamped it. Who knew?! 🥰🤪🥰
I think we all held our breath watching you drill the second hole through the marble through the crack ... that worked incredibly well. So satisfying to bring a tatty piece of furniture back like that and repurpose it. Great stuff 🥰
Halving those drawers was brilliant Terry! I held my breath when you cut that marble. So clever. What a gorgeous piece you made. Great vlog all around, as ever. Best wishes to all.
My favorite part is that Experia West end in the best way possible just because your guys chemistry is undeniable I love you too and together you make the perfect family you make me so proud of our community Bravo
Terry, that coving was the most brilliant idea I have ever heard of and a beautiful result. It brings warmth to the room ! You have incredible talent and truly building more craftsman skills. Sending you a huge well deserved hug. ❤
I’ve had a chuckle at all of us waiting... there’s Shelby in Canada, me in Florida, and everyone else sprinkled all over the world. Your family has created a sensation! We love you all and what you are doing. And to top it off... my late mothers home town, Sunderland is back in the Premier legue!! Howay The Lads!! 🥰👏🥰.
Terry you’ve done a marvellous job of the coving so time consuming, but it really was worth it. Also repairing the bathroom vanity marble top from being cracked I thought it wouldn’t work especially when you started drilling two holes for the tap and drain. Thank God it ended up amazing. Love the drawer knobs too. Well done. You definitely have the vision. Loved this video thank you ❤️
Well at first ,I thought ...aw no Terry....poor Ash ...but the finished results were amazing 👏 and brought back memories of my dad using the wood grain effect tool .Amazing work Terry xxxx love to everyone as always 💛💚💙💜🤎🖤❤🧡 xxxx
You turned someone’s trash into treasure, and the coving looks beautiful. It’s so nice to watch you transform things into exquisite pieces that will make the chateau stunning. xx
Nail biting watching you drill the holes in the marble, very tricky to do, fantastic job, how good does that look, beautiful. Love watching the family and how everyone is getting on with the cottage and the chateau. 🥰
I really do love your channel. Especially creating "expensive" touches on the cheap. Your sink transformation was fabulous. I only have one (small) critique. You mentioned seven times how you were going to paint the coving, three times on adding the gold touch and three times on adding the 'grain'. (And at the end of the vid.) Personally, I think you should leave the viewer room to ask questions and get us involved. I apologize. I will still watch. Anxious to see your progress. Ohio
Well done you Terry! The coving and bathroom vanities are fabulous! You’re very talented and meticulous in your vision of bringing life back to the Chateau! 👏🏻👏🏻
Must admit that when you started coving or cornice as we call it, I was doubtful. However the last finishing touch along beading just lifted it. Incredible job
Terry, you have such a keen eye for detail, the château really is lucky to have had you become its caretaker. All throughout history, fine artisans have been using painting techniques to make plain plaster look like different materials. Your woodgraining on the coves is a perfect example of this technique, and I consider you to be a master designer and craftsman, you have the soul of the muse of beauty. Everything you touch turns into gold and Ash is such a lucky man to have you as a partner. You are able to take discarded items and visualize them into something new and beautiful. Your upholstery skills are impeccable and your painting skills are amazing. I think you are the one that edits the videos as well and they are all done so professionally. You never cease to impress me with your talents. The château will be a true masterpiece when you are done and will be admired for many many years. Cheers to you, your fans ChuckandMax
Terry, the wood of the vanity looks like it could do with a bit of a feed. There are restoration oils that you wipe on and then buff off. It nourishes the wood and gives a light shine. Your vanity will look superb after. Another thing. I noticed that there is a corner missing on the baseboard of the vanity. If you aren’t planning to use the hinged top, you can cut a piece out of that to repair it as it will be the same veneer and you won’t have issues trying to find the right colour stain to get it to match. Just a couple of ideas to help you with your projects. What you are doing to the chateau is amazing.
Love the idea of staining the coving, you should have a look at Chalk it up fancy on either UA-cam or on their website, they have some excellent products.
Like Ash, I can Not envision the end result. So throughout I was thinking isn't that supposed to look like a Plaster Molding? Why are you painting it Brown? What, Woodgrain? Now Gold? Well Let Me Tell You, That Looks Spectacular!!! So Glad You Have Vision, Terry! I couldn't "trust the process" After the first step, I'd throw in the towel, thinking that's gonna look like crap! Great Job!🥳🏆‼️
What an amazing and painstaking job you have done on the coving. You are a man of many talents. Great job. The vanity unit for your bathroom is looking good.
Decorative Artist chiming in here- for the best results for a faux bois look (faux wood grain) start with an undercoat of pale yellow paint for lighter woods, a deep orangey coral for medium toned woods with orange hues, and a deep salmon color for cherry, mahogany etc. Then apply stain once that has thoroughly dried. That gives you the depth and hue of real wood and also allows for fewer coats! Going over white always takes forevvvvver! That being said…. Looks fantastic!
Terry amazing results with the coving it does look real wood clever lad with The Sink A nice vanity unit you’ve kept it original in the Château well done young man💕
I'm sure you know about trompe l'oeil which is what you are doing around your living space especially the coving into wood but you can do it with fixing your marble with a feather a bit of color and gold to make as if the broken marble is not cracked anymore. I admire your creativity. Bravo👍
Terry if you would like to have older furniture drawers open easier use a bar of soap and rub the dry bar of soap over bottom and top edge of the drawer to open easier. Thank you
What an ingenious idea. You really are full of ideas. Your home is going to be beautiful because you are a designer and you all work hard and still enjoy what you do. Well done 🤗
Terry, if possible for a future marble repair especially if you are drilling a hole, combine the marble dust with the epoxy for a near invisible repair..
Me in Georgia USA!
what is used to repair the marble? I am wondering if it would work on a farmhouse sink.
Wow that's really great information...... Thank you for telling him that because without meaning to you have helped me so thank you so much................

HI,What is most interesting in the vlog is not your intentions of things you want to do but actually watching you work to see how you do things.
You’re a true artisan Terry, and Ash, you’re such an incredible worker. What you’ve achieved in such a short time is absolutely incredible. I admire you both so much, you’re truly inspirational.

Cornice, coving, crown moulding- whatever the name, that's a brilliant idea!
The crown molding turned out amazing 🤩
@@melaniewallace6912 thank you 🥰🥰
The stain and gold really opted and enhanced that room perfectly. The tables or sink are reborn and beautiful.
The coving does look so much better stained. It really pulls the look of the room out!!
The sink unit was a triumph!👏🥰
Ah, Terry. The artist's eye and the artist's patience. The coving looks grand. Great repurpose vanity, with usable drawers. So nice to see you and Ash relaxing, in the sunshine.
What a genius...... the sink unit is divine 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks happy traveller :) I’m sure he will in future 😉
I agree
You are so clever, honey child, the sink an tap looks beautiful . As does the coving.
It's so nice to see how you bring the Cheateau back to life Terry.
Fantastic job on both the Coving and the sink unit Terry you are so creative. You and Ash make a great team, so pleased Jonathan enjoyed his Birthday. Enjoy the summer sunshine ❤

TERRY,YOU ARE SO GOOD AT Restoring old into new. You work so hard. All of YOUS do.happy all of us viewers,can watch your dream come to life.❤️
Halving those drawers was brilliant Terry! I held my breath when you cut that marble. So clever. What a gorgeous piece you made. Great vlog all around, as ever. Best wishes to all.

That coving came out amazing
Terry, that coving was the most brilliant idea I have ever heard of and a beautiful result. It brings warmth to the room ! You have incredible talent and truly building more craftsman skills. Sending you a huge well deserved hug. ❤
The coving looks so stunning. Absolutely lovely.
I love that you kept half drawers for storage with your sink. Very smart idea Terry. 😊
I’ve had a chuckle at all of us waiting... there’s Shelby in Canada, me in Florida, and everyone else sprinkled all over the world. Your family has created a sensation! We love you all and what you are doing. And to top it off... my late mothers home town, Sunderland is back in the Premier legue!! Howay The Lads!! 🥰👏🥰.
Sunderland were promoted to the championship
Feathers, quills lambs wool, and combs with different spacing work well with wood graining.
I enjoyed watching the cupboard get fixed
Terry once again a fantastic job on the sink unit and coving, can not wait to see it finished, hope you are all well and enjoying the weather too.💕👏🤗
Another grand illustration....thank you Terry 😊 14:12
I just noticed you have over 40k subscribers…whoa!
The cornice looks amazing and I love those repurposed vanity furniture for the bathroom, well done.
Love the trim it’s beautiful I learn so much from watching.
I'm with Ash. I would see trash. Terry has vision of what could be. Amazing work.
Thanks Jim :)
Hey Terry great job 😊👍
Have you thought about waxing inside the drawers ? It’ll revive them and make them smell lovely
Terry you’ve done a marvellous job of the coving so time consuming, but it really was worth it.

Hello from Manitoba Canada! really enjoy watching your vlogs great job you are doing on the restoration of the Chateau! keep up the great work!

Terry, your ability to see things as they could be after restoration is the vision that fuels the entire chateau adventure! Bravo! 👏👏👏
Great job look beautiful sink covers crack on marble glad it was saved from being thrown out
Well done you Terry! The coving and bathroom vanities are fabulous! You’re very talented and meticulous in your vision of bringing life back to the Chateau! 👏🏻👏🏻
Fantastic terry! You
Can do anything in
Life you put your mind
To do.an your partner
Is a phenomenal person.
Must admit that when you started coving or cornice as we call it, I was doubtful. However the last finishing touch along beading just lifted it. Incredible job
Terry. The cornice really looks fabulous and the sink unit is a masterpiece. I am in Awe of your work.
Amazing results on the coving and cabinets Terry. You are such a perfectionist. Love everything you do. Best wishes always.
Looks really good! I would have done the staining in the garage then Install. That is just me. All the best.
The coving looked really good, and really effective with grain, and gold edge.
Also the vanity turned out so well, so nice xx

Excellent job on the crown molding, or as you say, coving. You’re a natural, Terry.
Also great job on the sink unit.
I have paint and grained loads in the 90’s the effect is great 😀 your vision is amazing 😍
That is so clever Terry! I love people who use creative ways to make things look better.
Terry, the wood of the vanity looks like it could do with a bit of a feed. There are restoration oils that you wipe on and then buff off. It nourishes the wood and gives a light shine. Your vanity will look superb after.
Another thing. I noticed that there is a corner missing on the baseboard of the vanity. If you aren’t planning to use the hinged top, you can cut a piece out of that to repair it as it will be the same veneer and you won’t have issues trying to find the right colour stain to get it to match.
Just a couple of ideas to help you with your projects. What you are doing to the chateau is amazing.
Hello Neil, thank you very much. I have the little corner piece so just need sticking on 😊 thank you for the tip with the wood 🙏🥰
the coving now look amazing
Love the idea of staining the coving, you should have a look at Chalk it up fancy on either UA-cam or on their website, they have some excellent products.

Here in the US, we call it crown molding...
From the shores of Lake Michigan ❤
What a great result for the basin and other bathroom units. Repurposed to perfection. Loved the coving idea too.
Wonderful work!! Love your channel because you actually finish projects. Watching tiny snippets of tons of projects gets old.
Brilliant idea to wood-stain the coving - makes room look fab‼️😻
You could modify the drawers for the drain pipes. That way you can still use them.
The vanity looks beautiful Terry
Great job on the sinks, don’t forget the sealant where the marble edges meet and where the fittings meet the marble.
I was concerned about this as well.
What an amazing and painstaking job you have done on the coving. You are a man of many talents. Great job. The vanity unit for your bathroom is looking good.
The sink and coving look amazing 🤩 Lots of hard work but well worth the effort. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
My goodness Terri, you are a magician! Everything you do turns out magnificent! Great job.❤️
When Ash and you said Coving, I kept hearing coffin.
The coving and vanities are amazing Terry
Love the finishing on the trim, it’s beautiful Terry

Wow! Just wow! So UNBELIEVABLY well done and beautiful. You are amazing
Terry amazing results with the coving it does look real wood clever lad with The Sink A nice vanity unit you’ve kept it original in the Château well done young man💕
I think the way you are approaching the Chateau is fabulous, repurposing bits etc. You're my favourite Chateau channel ❤️😁
I'm sure you know about trompe l'oeil which is what you are doing around your living space especially the coving into wood but you can do it with fixing your marble with a feather a bit of color and gold to make as if the broken marble is not cracked anymore. I admire your creativity. Bravo👍
Looking great l watch each update an cannot believe the progress.
Terry if you would like to have older furniture drawers open easier use a bar of soap and rub the dry bar of soap over bottom and top edge of the drawer to open easier. Thank you
❤
Brilliant job on the coving. Whew the marble did not break!!
Terry, you're a genius! I missed the Premier, but I've seen the video now and the moulding looks fabulous!
I did the same thing w the mouldings years ago but that gold touch..fab
So impressed! Love the cabinet ... some soap on the draw runners will help too. 😉❤️
Such progress. You have my utmost admiration. Happy days to you all.
You have made truly gorgeous bathroom furniture!
The coving looks fantastic! Wow! ...along with everything else you do! 🙂
Thank you :)
Great job; the coving came out sensational and sink looks great!
Amazing talent you have turning into a work of art.

Tracy your such and inspiration.
All the work on your home is so wonderful to see. Love your progress!!! WOW!!
I've nvr seen a sink like that .it's brilliant!!! Another great show .ty
Might have been a good idea to do a sample piece to see how it looks and dries
I didn’t think I’d like the wood look but it’s beautiful …. Great job!
Coving looks brilliant and no I'm not inspired you have more patience than me 😂 room looks lovely well done lads 💪👏🏼
