We transformed the SMALLEST room in our French Castle! - REVEALING OUR SECRET ROOM MAKEOVER FOR TV

- Опубліковано 1 жов 2022
- I'm so excited to finally be able to share our secret project with you, which we started earlier this year for the TV show "Chateau DIY"! We've been living with the finished room for a bit and it's quickly made its way onto my list of favourite rooms in the chateau - especially since the wallpaper we used we had custom made from one of my late father's paintings. It's like walking into a fairytale...
The Chateau Diaries Episode 342 ✨🏰✨
Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰
This channel follows the adventures of chatelaine Stephanie in her French 16th century home, the Chateau de Lalande, in the heart of rural France ❤️
We share our life in this ancient chateau in the heart of the French countryside, and show you the diy, renovations, crafts, cooking and gardening that are needed to bring a home like this to life!
A very special thank you to all of you who have become Patrons of the Chateau de Lalande. You have made The Chateau Diaries one of the top 400 Patreon accounts in the world, and have transformed not only our lives here, but the future of this beautiful chateau! I’m overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity. On behalf of this beautiful chateau that will continue to survive and flourish because of you, thank you!!!

I know you are always busy with projects but if you ever need a merch idea I think alot of people would love a poster version of your fathers paintings. Its so colorful and expressive :)
Yes, I am waiting for such things. I love your fathers paintings❤️
Absolutely!!
That would be a brilliant idea 👏👏
On a canvas also.
You can count me in with that idea
When Stephanie was standing in front of the characters, beaming, did anyone else feel like her father had used Stephanie as the model for everyone’s eyes? 👁❤️
This room is not only FANTASTIC, but a glorious tribute to your father 🙌!
I wrote something similar to what you mean with this comments. She should make for her father the most beautiful room in the château. Actually he bought it for her, forget about the marquess, he can have another room since there are lot of rooms.
...and when Stephanie chose 'Greensleeves' as the quintessential Medieval music to play, matching with her father's exquisite life-size painting (made large)... I was struck with a kind of fugue of mystery and Deja Vu of past-life remembrance of those times... both wonderful and wistful & terror-filled with plagues and endless feuds and wars. Yet the overall effect is that of Chivalry-remembered. Truly, as she said, a step through Narnia's magical door into a mysterious past. I bet Stephanie's father told the BEST bedtime stories if his paintings are an indication of his imagination. She must have had a magical childhood with such artistic and creative parents! ❣
Stephanie, your dad would be proud of you. Not only for the amazing use of his artwork in your latest design, but for the person you’ve become. Your dedication to your mother, and the rest of your family and friends speaks to the heart within you. Your tenacity and work ethic would make any parent swell with pride. Well done M’lady.
That Gerald remembers him painting it made me tear up,, I love the way he is in your family and I love that you get to step into your father’s world and almost meet face to face the characters he created and spent no telling how many hours crafting, I feel he has personalities for them 🥰 he is hands down my favorite painter ever, I never saw art like that before and he mesmerized me. I hope to be able to step into that loo one day!! So much love Steph, Gerry and Philip 😍😍 so much!
❤️❤️❤️
Alanna Gilmore perfectly stated! ❤️
Yes his art is truly amazing. Never before have I seen abstract art that I ever gave a second glance before seeing his work. It is just breathtaking for me❤
I teared up as well. Amaury, Phillip, Scotman, Steve and Stephanie, Bravo on a lovely job honoring your father. How beautiful a painting made wonderful.
@@margaretf6147 me too!! I’m like Picasso? Nah😂😍
I was quite taken back at this vlog. The tears ran down as soon as you opened the tube containing the paper. You have hung every picture he has ever painted and turned others into tile and now wallpaper. This entire chateau is a tribute to him. He knows!
Yes he does! 🙏 I think this has to have been one of my fav episodes. Such a wonderful tribute and so many helping hands. I had tears too… Just beautiful! 💖
All that you said 100%‼ And Stephanie's outfit was the perfect choice for this reveal‼💝
The use of "Greensleeves" in the final reveal was a stroke of genius.
What an incandescent talent your father had, Stephanie. I’m brought to tears. Congratulations on this magnificent makeover!
Your father must be beaming with pride for a daughter so dedicated to him and his visions. The bathroom is beautiful, your team is amazing and Amorey deserves a medal❗
WOW! just wow! Your father art's is amazing! To be able to scale it up like this shows how precise every stroke of paintbrush must have been! Its crazy! I bet a wallpaper company will want to reproduce its art soon. Its just so good and top quality craftmanship. Bravo to Steve as well.
You all did such great job in such a small intricate space and as always Amaury works is top notch. I am so sorry he has to work so hard for so long without sleeping... poor Amaury.... He is so deserving of all our love!
Amerie deserves a huge bonus and a vacation! Great job!
I am blown away. The incredible detail of Derek's painting loses nothing from the blowup as wallpaper. Rather, the brilliance and fine execution are shown in all its increased magnificence. Bravo, to all who had the vision and skills to bring this project into fruition - a true team effort, and once again, a celebration of family talent and grit.
You are carrying on a tradition of adding original artwork to a château which people have done for hundreds of years and it’s personal. I just love it. Thank you for taking us on this journey.
easy to see from your face how thrilled you were to see this painting practically come to life. Gerald's comment was so endearing.
That wall paper has turned an otherwise dull toilet room into a jewel box.. Your father is certainly looking down on you and say well done.. Great idea Stephanie
Simply whow! This little room shows us why you were destined to become the grande chatelaine of the magical world of Chateau Lalande. Amazing! Your father would be so proud....
Stephanie’s father really was a splendid artist. It’s amazing his painting was magnified with this quality. Stephanie has her father’s artistic eye and her mother’s tenacity.
I mirror this comment
I love this community
I loved the old episodes that showed him encouraging her, and her bringing along the other members of her family and her friends. What a testament to this exceptional and talented family.
So lovely to see the image of your father. First one that l have seen.
Your creative vision for using his work is absolutely amazing.
Amaury is a perfectionist and I love seeing his work!
As you were papering, we saw the wallpaper close up, the full impact of your father's ability and his loss brought me to tears. What a wonderful, awe-inspiring way to honor him. And, what a blessing it is to have friends like Steve, who have both the talent and skill to make this wall paper happen.
Just returned from a three day visit to LeLande and I just have to say that to see this bathroom finished was one of my favorite moments of the chateau tour. It truly is like walking into a painting. The brilliance of the colors and the life size characters on the walls come alive. There is so much happening that there is no need to take a book or magazine in with you when you “have to go” lol. You are transported back in time and just feel so happy in this room. It is my favorite room so far. But, the other thing I remember about the room is the way it smelled. The scent in there was delightful. Whatever it was, it made me think that LeLande needs to market something like that as the chateau’s signature scent.
takes l'eau de toilet to another level...
😉🤣@@choochalah
The wallpaper is beyond words. It is like your Father's painting came to life. It is amazing that it is so perfect after being blown up to such an extent. Hats off to Steve for doing such a great job digitizing it. Amaury once again has out done himself. I hope he sees his work at the chateau as something enduring that will live on for many decades and perhaps hundreds of years in the future. You and Phillip make such a great team. I know if you can remodel together than you can tackle nearly anything as a couple. Jerry has always been your 'right-hand man' on these projects. Once again he has been there to help. Love seeing the LaLande team work.
Brilliant use of the space. I'm blown away by how many elements and the time and care you have put into bringing this together. The high walls are perfect for these creative designs. I love how the whole chateau is becoming even more of a work of art and a showcase for your fathers incredible genius, and very moving that he is woven into the fabric of your home, as he is woven into your hearts. You are a credit to him Stephanie, he must have been a wonderful man. Love and blessings to you all.
How beautifully said! ❣
Thank you @@kindlydude I appreciate that 😊 wishing you a blessed day.
Your father’s work is just wonderful. What a wonderful way to remember him.
Honestly Steph I cried it’s absolutely beautiful, your father was so very talented, it’s a tiny room but somehow it looks so big! How emotional for you Mummy and Gerald, what an amazing painting, he would be so proud of his wonderful daughter, for all that you are sweetheart much love xxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow!!
To be able to digitally enlarge one of your father's paintings, and have it come out so beautifully, shows just how talented an artist he was. The room has been transformed and I love it.
Absolutely stunning, and the tears when Jerry was talking about your Dad when he was painting the original painting!
This has to be the world's most characterful loo. My downstairs loo is based on the seaside, but this beats anything, anywhere. Not sure I would want to do anything more than wash my hands in there, too many people watching! The wallpaper is fantastic though and I am sure lots of people would want to buy it. Your Dad would be thrilled and so proud of it. Thanks to Steve for his scaling up. Thanks to Amaury for all his hard work. Thanks to Phillip and Gerald for expert paper work and thanks to Stephanie for her vision in creating this brilliant room. Total success.🍾🍾🥂
😂
The new loo with your Dad’s painting made into wallpaper is inspiring to say the least. Steve did an amazing job on enlarging the painting, well done my fellow Canadian! Philip deserves a medal or a halo for his work in heaven. Thanks for the great reveal🙏🏻❤️
especially as he has vertigo....
I didn’t know the man but this made me tear up! What a wonderful tribute to the artist, the father, the husband, friend. Yes please do a future projects with your dad‘s paintings
Glad you showed us this part without the cameras-although there were bleeps. Having wallpapered a lot in the past, mostly by myself, it was good to see you guys going through the same torturous times as I would have. I think others were afraid to wallpaper with me.
As I watched this episode, I am crying as the beautiful paper goes up, and I am wondering how am I so lucky and why did the UA-cam algorithm show me this channel, to begin with over two years now? We are still a relatively small group of people that are subscribers in the grand scheme of YT. How did I fall into a channel with people so perfectly aligned with my interests? How lucky am I to have found not only this channel but have been aquainted with all of you talented people at Lalande and also the subscribers that turn out to be quite talented people in their own right. It makes me wonder if we haven't all been together at different times or different places in time because for the loo episode to bring me to tears, is quite puzzling. Stephanie, as ever, Thank you. Hugs.
You and your family were truly made to care for this chateau. Your father’s paintings fit so beautifully into each room and even more so in this tiny space, bringing it to life! Your lifelong collecting of treasures to one day fill this space with beautiful chandeliers and fountains and porcelain and China, now phillip’s keen eye with such care for detail as well as your mother’s love for the garden. It’s all so important and such a joy to see this historic place being cared for and revived. Thank you for sharing with us.
Partners calling each other darling brings such a joy to me. I hate “pet” names but darling has such love and respect in it.
I really love what you were able to accomplish! So lucky to have Steve (a fellow Canadian) who was able to lend his skills as well. And then there is Amerie’s skills. My father would have truly appreciated his amazing skills in wood work/artistry.
This room is the perfect acknowledgement of your combined efforts.
I'm so happy that you are able to include your father into the chateau as a way to remember him. It's beautiful!
The way you guys work to make every part of this huge chateau special is beyond expectation
Everything you do Stephanie omes from an expression love. All your family and friends helping you also seem to be coming from an expression of love, as well. Amaury is a guardian angel. There's is nothing that can repay him for his dedication and hard work trying to help you realize your dream. Philip supports you in everyway and compliments your esthetics. He has an eye for finding hidden or otherwise unrecognized details that makes things extraordinarily special. Gerry is so loveable and supportive as is Percy. Nati, the Grand coordinator keeps everyone on their toes but in a most dignified, classy way. I cannot forget the Queen Bee, Isabelle, who has energetically worked very hard and has loved in great measure. She is very proud of all you have accomplished. The list is really very long of all the people LaLande has embraced and inspired. Your vlogs have changed the way many people look at their own lives and at the world. It is very easy to get caught up in the negative chaos in the world but LaLande is a living example of how people can ban together with a common cause that is nurturing and uplifting. I have watched every episode and am now beginning to watch the spin-offs as well. God bless you and all the wonderful people who share in your dreams.
superb words, for exactly what stephanie n her family n friends embody in this increasingly estranged world. hope springeth a la lalande.
That loo is now one of the best rooms in the chateau! Your father was an amazing artist, Stephanie! You all worked so hard to get it done. You all amaze me.
This is simply glorious. Beautifully envisioned and executed by all.
As the granddaughter of an artist I’m equally moved and inspired by how you weave your fathers works into the fabric of your home and life, such a beautiful way to keep his memory alive.
As a former wallcovering installer for 45 years,loved the fun and I just wanted to help,but alas 3 years ago I suffered a massive paralyzing stroke,biggest tip I can give you,get a professional wallpaper pouch kit for tools,no more climbing up and down and searching for tools,you guys made me smile,but Id have gone broke with you lot,lol!
Your father was so talented that much of it rubbed of on you Stephanie. We thought the other Loo was fabulous but it has to take a back seat to this one. It's just incredible that you, Philip, Scottman and Amaury could work on this together as a tribute to such a great artist. He is smiling from heaven at you all - how could he not? The best to all of you.
Love the medieval them for the library. I so look forward to your vlogs, but sometimes you simply blow it out of the park! wonderful!
Mummy's expression when seeing the wallpaper was precious! Her voice told it all. You could almost hear the shiver in it, at first.I think Gerald and Stephanie will have many years of always being reminded of their dad being so close to them every time they enter this room,
Not only were you face to face with the character on the paper, Stephanie - you were face to face with your own face! He looks so like you! Big eyes, same cheekbones, same shape face - amazing! It looks incredible.
...or at least Stephanie stands face to face with her father's depiction of her storybook character equivalent... yes it could be her from a past life... or just from one of the chateau balls where Stephanie dresses up in a Medieval/fairytale ballgown! 💃
That was a stunning result and all the work especially your cousin and his attention to details and perfection.
As I am a relative new follower, have you ever, and if not, consider dedicating an episode or two to your father's art? I'd love to see more in detail & if there are stories around the paintings etc. I'm sure your mother would be a pivotal element of each episode.
I'm so thankful to have "stumbled" across your videos 💜💙
Yes! This idea of focusing some episodes on Father's art with explanations!
Stephanie what a beautiful homage to your father, he was an extraordinary artist. He would be so proud of you. ❤
It's wonderful that Steve could collaborate with you on this project, and the tiles for the kitchen which he finished for you. He's very talented.
I can't wait for the library renovation. Libraries are my absolute favorite rooms. The feeling you get when you walk into a cozy place with all the shelves and seating is magical.
Thank you Stephanie, you make the world to a better place
Steph and Philip made it thru this without killing anyone. You two might have a future together after all.
I was so excited to help bring this project to life. It’s great working with creative people!
You were AMAZING! ❤️
Stephen you are a star .. bravo ⭐️👏
You are so helpful and talented. I’m sure the kitchen work that you have done will be beautiful too.
I think people would like Steve to make a how-to video on his process and, as well, the name of the wall paper company.
Thank you so much! You have made a great job and he would be very proud of it!
Love how Gerald always remains so calm and cheerful in every situation. I can imagine seeing Stephanie’s father’s wallpaper in place felt very emotional ❤️🌱🦋💫
I can imagine in 2122 the chateau owners excitedly talking about the history of the hidden loo, the Chatelaine's artist father, the accomplished digital artist friend, the technology at their disposal in the 20 and 21st centuries, and the production of the tv show :) We can only imagine how they will be making and consuming art and entertainment then!
Just when I think you can’t top the last room you decorated, you go and blow that one out of the water, well done it looks amazing 🤩 🎉
🍾
This is just incredible and such a beautiful tribute to your much loved and talented Father. Well done everyone.
Gerald is hilarious with his comic relief. Now, everyone pick out a charecter and match your costume to the painting to bring the new wall art to life.
I just toured an Alice in Wonderland themed house online and you have out done it! Amaury needs an apprentice for the internal shutter project and the China room so he can have more time off in the future. Love the input of the whole team, Stephanie, Amaury, Steve, Gerry and Philip. Now Philip gets to hear the stories from Gerry that the family has heard before. Please Gerry write the story of the painting down for a future children's book!
Yes! an apprentice for Amaury!
Yes! Gerry recording (voice & written word) the stories/memories!
Yes! making books of some of those memories!
I think Amaury needs a vacation. He works so hard. Yes, and maybe an apprentice/assistant, but only if they were actually helpful in taking the pressure off him.
Agreed! Amaury could definitely use an assistant. It needs to someone with exemplary talent, skill and work ethic, to match his own.
Yes, I was also thinking that Amaury should take on an apprentice cabinet maker. I was thinking of Benoit, the carpenter at Phillip and Anna’s property, whose son works with him. Although his son may prefer to keep working with his father.
@@jennifercampbell7698 his son has been going to culinary school, I think.
Oh my that transformed it into a trip to wonderland. What a magnificent painting, your dad was a great artist Stephanie how proud you, mummy, and the team must be. Bless you Aumary for your hard work and the many hours you give to get the work done. We appreciate all the time you give up to make these things in the Chateau so we the viewers can see such beauty. Great work team of Lalande, now time to rest and recuperate. Many blessings to you all. The greatest loo ever, obviously one would spend more than a penny here. Will be watching the video over and over again. Great work Stephanie, Phillip, Gerald, Aumary, and Stephan, and every one involved. Love and blessings. 😍😍😍
Oh the fairytale room with your father´s painting as wallpaper! That may be the prettiest room! It´s so touching to see. If/When I come to France, I must see Lalande´s smallest room. It is so special. What a teamwork! Bravo. Your father´s painting is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. 😍
I've watched this video 3 times (4 because I also watched the Patreon video)...it is just so stunning! Your vision for the chateau is awe inspiring...the courtyard, the gardens, the marquis apartment, the little entry way, the tower stairs, the grand salon and a million other projects. I am looking forward to seeing the birdcage bathroom, the apartments, your bedroom/study/closet and so many other areas that you are working on. Also looking forward to seeing the structure you bought for the garden in place and all the furniture and other treasures you have found in the places you have chosen for them. Stephanie, you are positively glowing as the chateau comes back to life!
Absolutely, Absolutely magnificent. I had no idea that a painting could even be turned into wallpaper. Your father was a talented artist and I'm sure he would be over the moon to see his work displayed in such splendor. I love The Chateau Diaries. It is where I come to visit when I want to feel I am in a magical world. Thank you for sharing your dreams with us.
As the room is rather small and narrow, going into it feels like stepping right into that mideval scene and becoming a part of it. You could never have that effect in a bigger room. You made the perfect choice to use this special wall paper for this special room. Congratulations!
Stephanie, your filming of this project was much superior to the Chateau DIY programme. Much more realistic regarding the challenges of decorating such a tiny space but with lots of fun regardless.
Your father was a most incredibly creative artist.
The lady narrator on DIY is so irritating and I agree wholeheartedly that Stephanie’s vlog was far superior
@@nannieg7622 it’s not the lady, fab actress, it’s the stupid script, constantly trying to inject false jeopardy.
@@patperks3122 yes a great actress, but I don’t like the way she reads the script, quite condescending
I've tried watching the DIY shows but the quality is sketchy. And the camera angles are incredibly ridiculous! What is it with filming close ups of half faces and ears? Totally peculiar.
@@susangyorky2110 I was shocked when viewing, to see one chateau (forgotten who’s) where they painted the old wall panelling a shocking blue colour !
I will never forget an architect, building a new dorm at my college, saying, "The most important element in any building is the element of surprise and delight!" And your videos! LOL! Promiscuous Adjectives! I have learned a great deal from your use of them. ...a nasty old table is "brilliant and magnificent!" You always see what things can be, not what they actually are, and everything is elevated into joy! Thank you! 🙏
The Winter Salon is my favorite room in the chateau, mostly because of your our Father's painting, but also the jewel tones of the room, the warmth in winter, the bookshelves, and the fireplace coziness, make it so beautiful. So no surprise, I love how the Loo turned out. Wonderful seeing your brother, cousin, Phillip and you, Stephanie, all squeezed in and transforming the room. Amazing vision.
Oh God---such a fabulous thing to be surrounded by your amazing father's paining. I am a painter of murals and have thought of having them blown up and mounted on 'canvas'. But to see exactly how it transforms a space is magical. I am also sensitive to how exhausted your worker bees are.
Oh it’s divine Stephanie. Brilliant idea using your fathers painting to make into wallpaper. Much respect from Wyoming
My husband and I found that if we could survive wallpapering together, we could survive anything! LOL It became clear that my job was to just be the "gopher" ( go for this - go for that), keep sponges clean and to be as quiet as possible to allow him to do what needed to be done without comment from me. :>} He was much better at matching patterns and getting the paper on straight. I was much better at picking out the paper - having vision as to how it would all look when we were done. We became a pretty good team. It served us well over our 37 years of marriage until his "home-going in 2020. The paper looks spectacular!
I've been tuned into "The Chateau Diaries " since lockdown and this episode touched me probably the most. Seeing your father's work made larger than life must have been so heart warming for you and your mother , I can't imagine ❤️
Me as well.
What an awesome way to honor your father and his art! Simply beautiful!
Your father’s painting reminds me of one of the panels from the hunt of the unicorn tapestries - beautiful 💚
Is your mother in this painting? It looks so like her,bottom right,not sure quite which section❤xx
It's SO beautiful Stephanie! As an artist myself I am in awe and very moved that you did this with your father's artwork and Steve has done a beautiful job too.
I felt Amoury’s fatigue. What a collaboration. Your father would be proud.
Your father was so so talented if not an absolute genius. Love love love his paintings 🥇🥇🥇🧡🧡🧡
Absolutely a gorgeous bathroom ❤❤❤Congrats to Steve and you dad for their artistic talent. Amaury is a genius. Cracked up with Gerry, Philip and Stephanie hanging the wallpaper with the jokes and editing certain parts🤣🤣🤣Only to tear up when Gerry was remembering seeing your dad paint this beautiful scene. Your mom’s expression when she first saw was priceless ❤ The music with the final reveal was spot on. So happy you were about to bring your father’s art to life size. I so hope to see it in person some day. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Poor Amaury. He needs a rest and some shirtless time in the sunshine 😉
It looks amazing. Great work
Your father would be so proud of you, as much as your mother and percy
It looks incredible Stephanie. I found myself becoming quite emotional when you revealed it to Isabelle. Great job everyone!!!
Your father's talent is astounding, this blow-up demontrates his attention to detail .
Seeing your vision, Stephanie come to life with the help of so many people: Steve, Amaury, Gerald, the list goes on and on. Congrats, people! I love to see creativity in action. As a visual artist myself it is so beautiful to see such a tribute to your Dad.
This reminded me of a verse from George Seferis's Mythistorema : "It was falling into the dream as I was coming out of the dream
so our life became one and it will be very difficult for it to separate again." I feel like you have found ways to be in your father's world and keep him in your world, so you won't be separated ever again. You are falling in each others dream.
That’s beautiful ❤️
@@TheChateauDiaries Your father's spirit is with you and it would be really great sometime to have a "sensitive" come and do a reading where they communicate what he wants to say exactly, to let you know that he is with you. My dad has not only appeared many times in dreams, but he has also given me very vivid and specific signs in the physical world around me to show me he is one of my "guides", like a guardian angel. I highly suggest that you bring in a reputable psychic....
On another topic, Amaurie looks so very exhausted and he even admitted it, which seems so unusual. I hope you make him take a little mini 3-day vacation away from work sometime very soon. Poor fellow, he really seems worn to a frazzle. And Gerry, what a trooper painting the ceiling, he looks like he was up all night.
Stephanie this is incredible I can't get enough of it. It's such a beautiful space with the most beautiful and personalized wallpaper. Your father, I'm sure, would be so happy with what you did with his painting.
Your father's painting is worthy of being transformed into a Gobelin tapestry. Amazing!
That wallpaper is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! All the work that went into getting it made and then to see it like that, I can only imagine how you felt when you saw it on the walls. So incredible, good job everyone!
you know when you are talented at generating interest when you can encourage more than 7,000 people to watch a video about wallpapering a w.c. I wonder what it must be like for Stephany to not only have life-size figures from her father's paintings but also features reminiscent of her own.
For sure… one video for a tint room. Excelent video.
A stunning room, the exquisite details on the wallpaper! Like walking into a storybook. Great job to everyone xx
Those black and white medieval paintings of your father’s would make perfect merch for the chateau’s shoppe!
The wallpaper is stunning. I love how you are incorporating your father's paintings into the very fiber of the château as the kitchen tiles and the bathroom wallpaper. The scale of the wallpaper's reproduction is perfect and proves you can go very grand in a small space. Just a fabulous outcome!
What a Lovely & Loving tribute to your father's Great talent!
Thanks to your Dad & Steve ... My fellow Canadian ... You've created the ultimate beautiful & fun chateau 'loo' experience.
Thank you for sharing this with us!!
... Thank you to Steve, who has made this fellow Ontario, Canadian very, very proud of his stellar representation!
Not to lessen Amoury's, Philip's Gerry's and your Stephanie's stellar work ...
It is whimsical, enchanting & amazing.💕💞
You've made the smallest room at Lalande in some ways, the best room.
I'm glad it was mentioned that the wall sconces were from Ikea! Labels should be left on for future reference and maybe a laugh! Sometimes something looks very old and original when in fact it's very modern! My father in law had a centre piece candle holder and we all thought it was very old and laughed when we found out he had bought it at the grocery store only 10 years ago!
Interesting how the scale of the wallpaper actually makes the tiny room look larger. This is your most imaginative project yet!
Gee! Stephanie! How you are able to transform a very small room into a magical room! Having one of your Dad's paintings enlarged is indeed a surprise! Steve is awesome 👌
He didn't disappoint! Philip completes your ideas 💡 👌 Gerald is always ready to lend a hand. Amaury's painstaking on hand contributions into anything that comes up for the renovation of the rooms in the chateau. Congratulations 👏
Yes, it was a truly collaborative effort to bring Stephanie’s vision to life. Stephanie seems to draw the best people into her joyful orbit and the sum of the parts is always so much greater than each individual’s effort. Pure synergy! Well done everyone!
The face of the blond at 6:46 looks like you, Stephanie!
Your Father's painting is exquisite Stephanie! Such a talented family!!!!!! I suggest lowering the mirror, people always tend to hang things too high. The effect is stunning. Like walking into the space in 1500! Part of the Chateau as a character in the painting! Love it! You needed a wallpaper smoother!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not hands, leaves trails in the paper! Much easier to apply with one, just trying to be helpful. Table....brilliant! Red is always difficult. Inherent problems all around on any project...but you did well, Stunning! Stephanie, do you realize what you said...."I could sit in here for hours!" Isn't that the idea.....LOL!
This is an absolutely glorious room, and as a secret room in a library it will be even more stunning. Truly a jewel box!
There are just about no words for how incredibly stunning that looks🤩 Your fathers paintings are absolutely amazing. I think you may need to have a "guest book" in that room, for people to write down their thoughts on the painting 🤔😁 I would love to see a video exploring all your fathers paintings. What an incredible talent he had.💚❤💛🧡🤍💜💙
Great idea!!!
I cried as if I were part of the family.
He'd have been so proud & I believe amused by the whimsy
The best room in the Chateau 😊
Lol, Gerald was whistling the Laurel and Hardy theme music!
I thought it was The Three Stooges! LOL!!!!
Your father’s paintings are beautiful. I would have replicated the art in wall paper, but your idea to change the scale was a wonderful idea. Bravo!
How beautiful Stephanie, a lovely reminder of your father, being woven into Lelande, xxx
