I love how you guys restored it instead of destroying by making it "modern" beautiful! its not often you have a house that's just a work of art like that!
Most castles in europe are renovated like this where you only change what has to be or needs new technology implemented. All in effort to preserve the sites. You won't see a pink castles sticking out from the countryside construction laws are heavily regulated.
@@ouki4925 I wish that were true, but some wealthy Arabs have destroyed (or were planning to destroy) valuable elements of ancients chateaux in France and hôtels particuliers in Paris.
Love your hard work, though I would have made easier for me on the ceiling renovation. I think it would have been easier to complete the ceiling medallions on a table, gluing parts, painting, etc and then applying the finished product on the ceiling. Beautiful work. Congratulations on such gorgeous result.
Totally agree. Nearly all videos on YT are a pain to watch because the very first thing the new owners do is throwing everything of the interior out. Then they install new plastered wall, new plastered ceilings, modern bathrooms etc. So the whole original soul of the building gets destroyed. One wonders why they bought an ancient building in the first place when they prefer modern aesthetics. Such a shame. This is the first example that I have stumbled upon that really tries to preserve the style of the 19th century. What a great job!
I know I've said this before, but these two chateau owners are the most honest, and hard working people on UA-cam!! So, come on folks, if you watch show them some love and hit that like button. Happy Christmas to all.
Had just come across their UA-cam channel and subscribed and liking each vlog as I watch it. This is by far one of the best Chateau restorations I’ve seen.
Every time I see people willing to put their hearts and wallet into a disregarded French chateau, I’m just so grateful for that little part of our national heritage. Thank you for such a conscientious and thoughtful work.
Heritage? Of oppressing the peasants or what? Weird... In Japan they burnt down most of the feudal estates, Samurai houses in particular, during the restoration period. And I see why. Funny how that goes.
@@mysterioanonymous3206The restoration period, as in the Meiji restoration where the emperor consolidated his power, yeah nothing screams freeing the peasants more than putting a monarch on the throne. As for destroying “samurai houses” go the “peasants” didn’t do that either, it was done by the Meiji government because of expensive upkeep and making sure their rule wasn’t challenged. The french peasants on the other hand were the most oppressed under the revolutionary governments, funny how that goes when you learn a little history.
I am at a total loss for words. I have never seen a Chateau remodeled this stunning. Hats off to all of you that worked so hard to bring this breathtaking renovation above and beyond its original build. Wow !! Unbelievable !!
Can you imagine if the original owners could see the time, sweat and love you have put into this house. Just imagine how happy and proud they would be of you!
What an amazing amount of work, even when you had Covid you carried on. I’d forgotten about all the outside work in the hot weather! Fabulous attention to detail and love your determination to see it through, you truly have a vision. That old chateau must feel truly loved !
It’s not just the amount of work but the incredible attention to minute detail - applaud yourself for all the hard labor you both do. Not a lot of people could do that.
I am so glad that there are people in France and England, who are buying up these beautiful old buildings and fixing them up. I have so much respect for you because it’s not an easy job and you’ve done it beautifully. I wish that you could stay there and work everything out but thank you for doing what you’re doing to save this building.❤❤❤
@@Hewau-fj5zz The French state financially helps the owners to renovate a castle if this castle is classified "historical monument" and it is renovated identically (this is not the case for all castles)
You two are a wonderful team. Adrian can repair & rebuild anything & Beth, your attention to detail is unbelievable. This chateau is going to be one of the best.
I was just tired and discouraged watching you start this job. This was not saving a patrimoine, it was completely creating a new estate. The number of hours you put into this project is unimaginable! Your enthusiasm, your broad knowledge in restoration, your persistence, your joy… Chapeau and good luck! Simply AMAZING people. 🎉
I haven’t finished the video yet , but can no longer restrain myself . The wonderful things you are doing in order to be so authentic in retrieving this lovely building ,are truly miraculous . Recreating wallpaper patterns, saving the damaged plaster , and anointing everything with gold . I love that you are saving the past and making that special building come alive again . This is in fact a real service you are performing, as well as showing us that many of our limitations , are self imposed . May you live a joyful full life .
Kudos to Beth for putting together a video showing all your fun, hard work, accomplishments & beauty of the Chateau! Carole & Adrien your teamwork, humor, patience have just added to the enjoyment of seeing how such hard work, artistic skills, and perseverance have brought your Chateau to an incredible place. Thank you for allowing us to join you on your journey! Have a fun, restful & enjoyable holiday with family & friends. Merry Christmas!
Bethany was a gem putting it together for us,cso we could have a break. Thank you so much Sharon for your generosity. We hope to bring much more to the journey next year. Thank you for following and supporting us so far. Merry Christmas Cx
I hope you are able to get your video and story picked up by a television show. It is a phenomenal story of history, vision, patience, skill and hard work. You could even go on speaking tours to art institutes, museums and schools! Thank you for videoing your work. I’ll be watching each episode.
The transformation over the year is amazing. Your hard work and attention to detail is bringing the chateau alive and back to its former glory. Congratulations!
Agree, i saw Terry was visiting you, i bet you can exchange pointers and encouragement . You and his family being on a similar journey, they too have made awesome progress in a short time.
This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time! It feels like you made something worthy of this house; I’m very sure the former owners would be proud to call this their home. It’s always amazing to see when someone takes up such a project and restores such a beautiful home to its former glory. 😊❤
Having renovated several old (not as old as yours!) houses, I'm aware that a project like this is its own form of insanity. I admire your persistence! Looking at all that gold leaf and the printed wallpaper to match the old, not only did the project require a LOT of work and persistence, it clearly cost a pretty penny. Congratulations!
Bravo - bravo!! Adrian & Carole - you both deserve a standing ovation! Your support and respect for each other, tenacity and faith in your talents have proved you can take on such a daunting challenge as restoring a long-forgotten chateau. It will be a jewel in France:)
Fantastic dedication very hard job endless hours constant working,so many talents knowledge how to fix almost everything in this building big admiration for your hard work!…..wishing video should be shown to high school students it will spark their interest to fallow yours journey one day ?
I watch all the chateau shows on UA-cam, and I must say, you two take the prize for MOST ACCOMPLISHED IN ONE YEAR! (And it’s usually just the two of you!) BRAVO! It all looks incredible! Can’t wait to see what magic you create in 2023!
I have watched this time-lapse video several times over and I always find something new to love about the Chateau and your work. It also shows the fortitude and determination you both have invested in this project. You bought the Chateau in a derelict state, but you both had a vision to restore it to its former glory. I believe that you have surpassed that idea. You both give your all into this restoration without getting completely overwhelmed by the enormity of it all. Congrats on your present achievements and what you will do in this new year of 2023!
You both have THE BEST SMILES! And sense of humor, patience and creativity. Thank you for letting me share the journey. You have brightened so many of my days this year. ❤️😊
Unimaginable amount of work! There’s no word for me to express how much I admire your passion, energy and expertise in renovating this historic ruin. I thought I would watch a few minutes of your video, but it was so addicting I watched the whole thing and will follow your journey. Just incredible! Your attention to details and your determination to restore it back to the original glory is just phenomenal. You would not skip a single detail. I salute all of you! Bravo!
Adrian and Carole, you have worked so hard and accomplished so much this year even when you were sick with Covid and recovering, too. Thank you for the enjoyment you having given us this year. I look forward to watching all you will do next year, too!
Хорошо что даете замку вторую жизнь, грандиозная, гигантская работа, делаете все сами своими силами, я вами восхищаюсь, браво молодцы так держать, привет из г Иваново Россия
The restoration on the ceiling and walls in the dining/salon made me want to cry. Absolutely gorgeous, the attention to detail and the gold flakes on accents make the room come to life. Really really beautiful you both have done
My goodness! You have not refurbished a château you have both expertly renovated it with both of your expert talent and vision and skills to bring it back to what you have shown so far. If you are not proud of yourselves I am certainly am by your devotion, patience and vision on keeping your eye on the long goal. Well done both of you and I find your efforts extremely impressive and outstanding. Very impressive!
России следовало бы направить свою любовь на свое разрушенное наследие, а не захватывать чужие земли и там тоже все разрушать! Родовое имение моих предков россияне разрушили и растащили до основания, что и восстанавливать нечего, а могилы предков осквернили, разрушив родовой склеп!
You, Russians, don’t bring love and admiration to our world. You bring only destruction, death and pain. I can only imagine in horror what whould happen to these incredible hardworking people and to this chateau if your Russian soldiers get their…
@@НатальяМельгунова-ц9яЧто за бред. Это вы убивали ваших собственных людей 8 лет…теперь пришло время платить а платить нужно много!!! За бомбардировку Горловки и других городов мы никогда не простим. Всех коренных Русских верном обратно в родную гавань. Это наши земли. А тебя… Тьфу!
It seems like a humongous task that is taking forever. It can be exhausting and frustrating. But look at what you have achieved! Just two of you with occasional help and support from your family. You are great team guys. You are amazing. Have a long relaxing Christmas and the best coming New Year. May it bring you lots of happiness, more inspirations and many more beautiful creations. Well done! Round of applause...❤
What an amazing job you two!,, I have followed your vlog and to see it all combined is nothing short of amazing. You guys are just incredible. Enjoy your Christmas and rest, drink some wine, eat some Christmas dinner and celebrate the new year! I’ll be waiting for more great vlogs in 23!
Your work ethic, attention to detail and quality of workmanship are exceptional - you have achieved so much - I am in awe. Enjoy Christmas with your family and a well deserved break.
I would like to say a huge Thank You to YOU! For restoring a historic National Treasure in St. Denis Gastines in Mayeene France. Chateau de la Ferte is now on it's way to becoming a chateau again. There should be an honorary title and gift presented to all Chateau families ancient, old, historic, or new, young, and beginning historians and renovators. Thank you for restoring France the birthplace of Chivalry!
Without doubt, a beautiful job so far, and how lovely to have this video diary as a memory because we can forget just how far we’ve come sometimes. So we’ll done Guys, you should be bursting with pride.
Watching this really made me see what amazing and hard working people both of you are. The amount of projects that you did this year is unbelievable. A beautiful job. When all the rooms are done you will have an absolutely beautiful home that you can be so proud of because you did it mostly yourselfs. AMAZING!!!!
Your capacity for work is extraordinary, as is the broad scope of your ability to turn your hand to anything. Gold stars to both of you. Have a relaxing and joyful festive season. I look forward to rejoining your journey in 2023.
Not only faithfully restored what is there, but in a no nonsense presentation show us how.. no drinksies in the spa or other such nonsense. It's all about the chateau and their awesome drive to refresh, and it does showcase their hard work and skills. So rewarding!
A couple of restorers at work is so fun to watch - real artists. Breathtaking Salon and its not even close to being finished yet. The best to you two and yours this Holiday season!
It always makes my week to see another video of yours. My husband even knows not to bother me when I watch them. ☺️ I love watching everything transform!
Обои слишком светлые, на фоне золота они вообще теряются. Но вообще такой кропотливый труд по восстановлению дома вызывают искреннее уважение. Молодцы, настоящие профессионалы.
Wow you’ve accomplished so much this year together. Your skills are complementary so you’re the perfect team to take on this enormous challenge. I’d love to see what these rooms originally looked like. I’m sure your restoration would compare favourably and probably look even better than the original.
I love historic architecture and preservation more than anything. Watching you restore the ceiling literally brought tears to my eyes. Such intricate details. It's not often people go through such painstaking effort to restore a home to its former glory the way you two are. I am so impressed and inspired!
I love it when these buildings are renovated, restored, and preserved. We will never see the likes of them again once they are gone. They are so visually rewarding as compared to the overpriced rubbish being built today. Full-on kudos to this couple for their hard work and perseverence. It's amazing what they have accomplished. Their legacy is stellar. 🎉🎉🎉
Amazing what you've accomplished in one year. I think it's important to make videos like this not just for subscribers but to remind yourselves what you have done in 2022.
What a labour of love. You both are amazing ,your deduction to detail . If it’s not right you start again. You have achieved so much but still have a long way to go. Thank you for including us on your journey. Take some time off this Christmas and enjoy your home and family. Looking forward to your 2023 journey. Xx
It's hard to believe how much work you have done in a year, not only in the castle itself, but also in the coach house and in this huge area. You guys are a great team and even though it looks like you're doing a thousand things at the same time, everything shines. Congratulations!🥇🥇
It’s so satisfying watching at this speed - if only it actually went this quickly! You two are so patient and hardworking! Thanks for sharing your journey!
Amazing! It's overwhelming! What this home looked like before and after the renovation. So much time, effort, sweat, maybe tears, also so much love, determination and passion required to bring this home back to life. It's beautiful!! So Far!! I can't wait!
25:27 Lovely lady, What courage and creativity and discipline you have to restore this chateau to such beauty.. You and have inspired me to get off my comfy armchair and clean the windows and damp dust all surfaces and get my home into a lovely warm inviting orderly place!. Much kudos to you and your man helper.. I would have like the chandelier to be lighter in colours.. it’s a bit dark and heavy for the rest of the fresh gold leaf and light lovely paint.. The wall paper in the panels is a superb match.. The texture and richness of the tall curtain drapes blends brilliantly.. I could go on but must stop..
"wow" what can I say, words can't express what you two have achieved together over this past year, I commend you both for your hard work, due diligence and keeping your eyes on the prize, you have achieved what most couples would have killed each other over and lived to talk about it. Carole, you have the patience of a saint with the pain staking work on the molding to get it just right the gilding, the wallpaper per each room, Adrian the hard muscle work you have done over this past year, the chandeliers, floors, the gardens you both worked on and Carole your mum as well, this could go on forever so let me wrap this up. I can't wait for next year's projects. LOL. Happy/Merry Christmas, take some well- deserved time off and enjoy. Much love from N.Y.
Every video amazes me..Aiden tackles structure repairs that are massive and Carol's helping him plus all the pain staking details..beautiful team work!!
Oh my word guys, I am sitting here crying after watching this, we have watched every step of this journey so far but seeing it like this brings home how much brilliant back breaking work you have done. We have done a lot of DIY however ours have been minuscule in comparison. 🙌🏻☺️ You should be so proud of where you are now and we can’t wait to see what comes next. Thanks for the inspirational ride 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️ Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year and hopefully you will have a well deserved break. 🎅🏻🥂🎄 Regards Shaz and Baz Australia ❤
This room is going to be breathtakingly beautiful when you are finished. I can't wait until you show it to Terry and Ash. You should be proud of what you have accomplished. I love watching your vlog, It's my favorite and you deserve more followers.
Congratulations on the renovation work , amazing job done in the Louis XV salon, excavating and masonry work , you're a re such a good team .Hats off to you both ! I'm a Frenchman , thanks to you one of our châteaux is brought back to life .
My eyes got all stingy when I saw how much care you took to copy and replace instead of ripping it all out and making it easy. This house is truly your labor of love. I am in awe. Thank you for caring for something so beautiful and precious, one of a kind!. And I had to laugh watching you two work. It reminded me of an old toothless high-village Nepali grandmother I read about who said, "Women go "Tink, tink, tink" and men go "Tank, tank, tank!" Its true, beauty is in the little details that really make a house a home. Strength, safety, and protection is in the underpinings.
That was the most satisfying video! It really makes me so happy to see the two of you salvaging and bringing back to glory Such a magnificent piece of art like you’re home. ! It is a shame that nobody builds like that anymore! You both have exquisite taste.
It's simply astounding how much work you have already accomplished. You should indeed be very proud of where you are now in your journey to create a chateau that will once again be a thriving chateau. Well done you two!
So very exquisitely BEAUTIFUL !!! You should be so proud of all your hard work. I can’t help but watch….such care, such attention to detail, such perfection. I am excited to see what next year brings. Take care and rest up. Enjoy your holidays you certainly have earned it.
Magnificent restoration, preserving the history and charm of an era gone by. Brilliant work; Congratulations on imprinting your delicacy in every detail, an homage to good taste.
This video not only shows the amazing amount of work you two have accomplished this past year but how well you both complement each other's skill sets as well as how detailed and respectful you both are to your particular craft in this restoration project. This video also highlights how much you two are smiling and laughing throughout this project. One has to have a sense of humor and some majors skills to take on such a huge project- Carole and Adrian, you two are amazing and you are killing it in bringing this old chateau back to her glory days. Beth, you did a fantastic job of putting this video of 2022 together. Merry Christmas- drink lots, eat lots and be as lazy as you want over the next couple of weeks. Peace and happiness from Donna in Taiwan.
The passion, the consistency, the love and the happiness you brought to the old chateau are something that need to be appreciated. Such a lovely and hardworking people. I really enjoy this video. Very well done!💙
I’m so proud of you both for all your hard work and dedication in creating the chateau of my, I mean your dreams. The grand salon is absolutely stunning and it’s not even finished. Your eye for detail is to be commended as not many people would be able to create a more beautiful room better than the original. So my next question is when are you finishing off my room? Merry Christmas to you all and let’s hope that the new year brings lots of prosperity and love…and my finished bedroom ❤️
Terrific video chronicling the amount of work the two of you accomplished. I have watched along but had forgotten the before....great to compare the before and after. What y'all are doing deserves an award. It is truly amazing. Thanks for sharing this beautiful adventure.
Thanks for the twice weekly entertainment over the past 15 months. I watch your videos first because you get things done and don't "fart around" like they do on some other Chateau channels. Can't wait to see the front hallway and kitchen when they are finished.😃
I have seen lots of remodeling videos in the past, but your attention to detail is on another level. Can't wait for the final finished product of a complete Chateau walkthrough!
So incredible! I can't even paint a flat wall. I'm envious of anyone who has this amount of talent. I know this is hard work that requires a lot of patience. I wish you the best in this project.
Well. I couldn't do all thst work now. 30 yrs ago yes indeed. I'd have to hire reno experts but if so some easy things. If I gad a LOTTERYWIN.. NO PROBLEM
Как же я обожаю такие проекты! Это словно вернуть к жизни замок Спящей красавицы! Проделан воистину титанический труд! Но красота получилась неимоверная!!! Спасибо!!!
This is so inspiring I almost cried. The love and care you've devoted to restoring as much as possible is breathtaking. This video isn't something I usually go to UA-cam for so I don't know why it came up on my feed today, but it has been the perfect timing. We are recently dealing with a mould/damp issue in our Edwardian semi detached home (nowhere near the scale of your beautiful property) and the idea of having to replace floorboards and plaster and decorating was a little overwhelming and I'll be honest I haven't even searched anything on my phone because I've been burying my head about it.... So your video popping up this morning had been comforting and inspiring. You've done such an amazing job, you can really see your passion in your work. Thank you for sharing!
You deserve the biggest clap on the backs for such an amazing and sympathetic renovation of your stunning Chateau. A phenomenal feat which obviously took so much time, patience, love and skill. I have only just found your channel so will now start from the beginning of your journey. CONGRATULATIONS are indeed in order !!!
If I were y’all I’d be so puffed up pride right now,I’d be near bursting. I hope you are proud too! Y’all did a lot of great work. And I know the chateau is feeling much better about itself! ❤️😊
So much work and so much beauty created and restored. Lovely editing Beth. Thanks for bringing us along! Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful time with family.
The way you are sympathetic to the chateau’s history in your restorations is wonderful to see. Your year long hard work and dedication to detail is inspiring to see. Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year. 😊
I am speechless! BRAVO! Such an amazing team of people who can do anything BY THEIR HANDS! That bold man is unique! How can you be a plumber, electrician, carpenter, builder and whatever else IN ONE PERSON? Amazing!!!!!!
That's tons of work in such a short amount of time, but time well spent on every effort. It looks wonderful. Keep going. your both wonderful to save this gem in the begining and its well worth the effort along with the Covid ride. Its a testament to your commitment in saving this structure with lots of history attatched to it. you should be very proud for the work you have put into this project.
Incredible progress in one year and so much work, I look forward to each episodes. If the old owner could see what you have done, he might fall of his chair. Congratulations on all your hard word. Best of good wishes for 2023.
I have a lot of respect for this couple. They obviously have the abilities and talents but they also have the dedication and aren't afraid of continuous hard work to accomplish this amazing restoration. Well done!
I watch every week in awe of what you achieved, but this puts it into perspective the enormity and level of craftsmanship you both put in. You must feel so proud. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas celebrating in these beautiful rooms in your lovely home/ chateau!
You both have accomplished so much. Your attention to detail and striving to achieve the fine details. Thank you for all your hard work, and continued progress with your château & UA-cam channel. 🎉
I spent 21 years in construction remodeling and have never been so impressed with the work of you two craftspersons in my life . When you hand replaced the gold leaf and stencil , I knew I was about to see something very wonderful and knew it would be done correctly .WOW !
That was really impressive. I have followed along this year but to see it all together really puts it in perspective. Doing the joists and replacing all the floor supports was especially impressive, to even tackle that big of a job. Have a fantastic Christmas and a well deserved break.
Just to say that you are so good at what you do, that once you are done with your chateau, you could become renovation consultants. Also, your work is so exquisite, that you could open your chateau to the public, for a fee. Wishing you a restful holiday season! From Atlanta, USA.
I admire these two people and others like them who have the courage to take upon such a huge task of reclaiming these old castles and giving them a new life!!! So much work, it seems endless... I would have done the same thing have I had the money and the energy to do so much work(as I do have determination even now at 75...)!
I love how you guys restored it instead of destroying by making it "modern" beautiful! its not often you have a house that's just a work of art like that!

This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time! It feels like you made something worthy of this house; I’m very sure the former owners would be proud to call this their home. It’s always amazing to see when someone takes up such a project and restores such a beautiful home to its former glory. 😊❤
Thank you! 😊
Q
Having renovated several old (not as old as yours!) houses, I'm aware that a project like this is its own form of insanity. I admire your persistence! Looking at all that gold leaf and the printed wallpaper to match the old, not only did the project require a LOT of work and persistence, it clearly cost a pretty penny. Congratulations!
Thank you Judith!

Wow, thank you!
Amen, I agree 100%!
I have watched this time-lapse video several times over and I always find something new to love about the Chateau and your work.
It also shows the fortitude and determination you both have invested in this project. You bought the Chateau in a derelict state, but you both had a vision to restore it to its former glory. I believe that you have surpassed that idea. You both give your all into this restoration without getting completely overwhelmed by the enormity of it all. Congrats on your present achievements and what you will do in this new year of 2023!
Thank you Gracie!
You both have THE BEST SMILES! And sense of humor, patience and creativity. Thank you for letting me share the journey. You have brightened so many of my days this year. ❤️😊

Words just cannot express what y’all have accomplished in one year! I’m in awe!
Thank you Karen and Merry Xmas
Unimaginable amount of work! There’s no word for me to express how much I admire your passion, energy and expertise in renovating this historic ruin. I thought I would watch a few minutes of your video, but it was so addicting I watched the whole thing and will follow your journey. Just incredible! Your attention to details and your determination to restore it back to the original glory is just phenomenal. You would not skip a single detail. I salute all of you! Bravo!
Wow, thank you!
I can't believe I watched this whole thing! I was inspired by their dedication and attention to detail! Subscribed!
Welcome aboard!
Adrian and Carole, you have worked so hard and accomplished so much this year even when you were sick with Covid and recovering, too. Thank you for the enjoyment you having given us this year. I look forward to watching all you will do next year, too!
Thank you so much!
Хорошо что даете замку вторую жизнь, грандиозная, гигантская работа, делаете все сами своими силами, я вами восхищаюсь, браво молодцы так держать, привет из г Иваново Россия
The restoration on the ceiling and walls in the dining/salon made me want to cry. Absolutely gorgeous, the attention to detail and the gold flakes on accents make the room come to life. Really really beautiful you both have done
congrats on achieving so much. .The chateau is so lucky to have you as owners restoring her lovingly and skillfully.
You guys took restoration to a whole new level, down to the details of the molding. Amazing!
Thank you Alex!
My goodness! You have not refurbished a château you have both expertly renovated it with both of your expert talent and vision and skills to bring it back to what you have shown so far. If you are not proud of yourselves I am certainly am by your devotion, patience and vision on keeping your eye on the long goal. Well done both of you and I find your efforts extremely impressive and outstanding. Very impressive!
Thank you Louise and Merry Xmas
I can't even begin to fathom the cost of restoring this Chateau.
When a place speaks to your heart you put whole heart into making it a home.
This video makes it clear the amazing amount of painstaking, back-breaking, mind-numbing work you’ve accomplished. Good job, all of you! 🌟 👏🏆
Thank you so much!
Из России с любовью и искренним восхищением! То, что вы сделали, это просто волшебство! Какие же вы труженики! Невероятно!!!!
Поддерживаю!!
России следовало бы направить свою любовь на свое разрушенное наследие, а не захватывать чужие земли и там тоже все разрушать! Родовое имение моих предков россияне разрушили и растащили до основания, что и восстанавливать нечего, а могилы предков осквернили, разрушив родовой склеп!
@@НатальяМельгунова-ц9яРодовую избу с земляным полом 😂😂😂😂
You, Russians, don’t bring love and admiration to our world. You bring only destruction, death and pain. I can only imagine in horror what whould happen to these incredible hardworking people and to this chateau if your Russian soldiers get their…
@@НатальяМельгунова-ц9яЧто за бред. Это вы убивали ваших собственных людей 8 лет…теперь пришло время платить а платить нужно много!!! За бомбардировку Горловки и других городов мы никогда не простим. Всех коренных Русских верном обратно в родную гавань. Это наши земли. А тебя… Тьфу!
It seems like a humongous task that is taking forever. It can be exhausting and frustrating. But look at what you have achieved! Just two of you with occasional help and support from your family. You are great team guys. You are amazing. Have a long relaxing Christmas and the best coming New Year. May it bring you lots of happiness, more inspirations and many more beautiful creations. Well done! Round of applause...❤
What an amazing job you two!,, I have followed your vlog and to see it all combined is nothing short of amazing. You guys are just incredible. Enjoy your Christmas and rest, drink some wine, eat some Christmas dinner and celebrate the new year! I’ll be waiting for more great vlogs in 23!
Thank you Meme and Merry Xmas
Thank you Ludmila and Merry Xmas
1/1/2023 I just found you🎉 what a beautiful home. The amount of work is staggering as is your energy level.
Your work ethic, attention to detail and quality of workmanship are exceptional - you have achieved so much - I am in awe. Enjoy Christmas with your family and a well deserved break.
Thank you Tracy and Merry Xmas
Wow!! The dining room has turned out stunning with every detail from ceiling to floor. Just wow!!
Thanks so much! 😊
I would like to say a huge Thank You to YOU! For restoring a historic National Treasure in St. Denis Gastines in Mayeene France. Chateau de la Ferte is now on it's way to becoming a chateau again. There should be an honorary title and gift presented to all Chateau families ancient, old, historic, or new, young, and beginning historians and renovators. Thank you for restoring France the birthplace of Chivalry!
You are very welcome and thank you 😊
Without doubt, a beautiful job so far, and how lovely to have this video diary as a memory because we can forget just how far we’ve come sometimes. So we’ll done Guys, you should be bursting with pride.
Thank you Allie and Merry Xmas
You guys are doing such a beautiful job I am so impressed with what you have achieve so far can't wait to see what you do next
Watching this really made me see what amazing and hard working people both of you are. The amount of projects that you did this year is unbelievable. A beautiful job. When all the rooms are done you will have an absolutely beautiful home that you can be so proud of because you did it mostly yourselfs. AMAZING!!!!
Thank you Diane and Merry Xmas
Your capacity for work is extraordinary, as is the broad scope of your ability to turn your hand to anything. Gold stars to both of you. Have a relaxing and joyful festive season. I look forward to rejoining your journey in 2023.
Thank you Mary & Jim and Merry Xmas
Not only faithfully restored what is there, but in a no nonsense presentation show us how.. no drinksies in the spa or other such nonsense. It's all about the chateau and their awesome drive to refresh, and it does showcase their hard work and skills. So rewarding!
Thank you 😊
A couple of restorers at work is so fun to watch - real artists. Breathtaking Salon and its not even close to being finished yet. The best to you two and yours this Holiday season!
Thank you Deane and a Merry Xmas to you!🎄
It always makes my week to see another video of yours. My husband even knows not to bother me when I watch them. ☺️ I love watching everything transform!
Thank you Laura and Merry Xmas
You are both inspirational - your work is exquisite - just what the Chateau needed to hold its head high once more.
Обои слишком светлые, на фоне золота они вообще теряются. Но вообще такой кропотливый труд по восстановлению дома вызывают искреннее уважение. Молодцы, настоящие профессионалы.
I started crying watching this… It’s so beautiful! Absolutely stunning! You guys have done amazing work.
Thank you Elizabeth and Merry Xmas
Wow you’ve accomplished so much this year together. Your skills are complementary so you’re the perfect team to take on this enormous challenge. I’d love to see what these rooms originally looked like. I’m sure your restoration would compare favourably and probably look even better than the original.
Thank you so much Elspeth and Merry Xmas
I love historic architecture and preservation more than anything. Watching you restore the ceiling literally brought tears to my eyes. Such intricate details. It's not often people go through such painstaking effort to restore a home to its former glory the way you two are. I am so impressed and inspired!
I love it when these buildings are renovated, restored, and preserved. We will never see the likes of them again once they are gone. They are so visually rewarding as compared to the overpriced rubbish being built today.
Full-on kudos to this couple for their hard work and perseverence. It's amazing what they have accomplished. Their legacy is stellar. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much! 😊
Amazing what you've accomplished in one year. I think it's important to make videos like this not just for subscribers but to remind yourselves what you have done in 2022.
😅
What a labour of love. You both are amazing ,your deduction to detail . If it’s not right you start again. You have achieved so much but still have a long way to go. Thank you for including us on your journey. Take some time off this Christmas and enjoy your home and family. Looking forward to your 2023 journey. Xx
Thank you Sarah and Merry Xmas
You guys rock!!!! Strong Brits who aren't afraid of really hard work. France is blessed to have you.
It's hard to believe how much work you have done in a year, not only in the castle itself, but also in the coach house and in this huge area. You guys are a great team and even though it looks like you're doing a thousand things at the same time, everything shines. Congratulations!🥇🥇
Thank you 😊
It’s so satisfying watching at this speed - if only it actually went this quickly! You two are so patient and hardworking! Thanks for sharing your journey!
You are welcome Anna!
Amazing! It's overwhelming! What this home looked like before and after the renovation. So much time, effort, sweat, maybe tears, also so much love, determination and passion required to bring this home back to life. It's beautiful!! So Far!! I can't wait!
Thank you!
25:27 Lovely lady, What courage and creativity and discipline you have to restore this chateau to such beauty.. You and have inspired me to get off my comfy armchair and clean the windows and damp dust all surfaces and get my home into a lovely warm inviting orderly place!. Much kudos to you and your man helper.. I would have like the chandelier to be lighter in colours.. it’s a bit dark and heavy for the rest of the fresh gold leaf and light lovely paint.. The wall paper in the panels is a superb match.. The texture and richness of the tall curtain drapes blends brilliantly.. I could go on but must stop..
"wow" what can I say, words can't express what you two have achieved together over this past year, I commend you both for your hard work, due diligence and keeping your eyes on the prize, you have achieved what most couples would have killed each other over and lived to talk about it. Carole, you have the patience of a saint with the pain staking work on the molding to get it just right the gilding, the wallpaper per each room, Adrian the hard muscle work you have done over this past year, the chandeliers, floors, the gardens you both worked on and Carole your mum as well, this could go on forever so let me wrap this up. I can't wait for next year's projects. LOL. Happy/Merry Christmas, take some well- deserved time off and enjoy. Much love from N.Y.
Thank you Joni and a Merry Xmas to you!🎄
這老房子的翻修過程真的太棒的!! 很認真的尊重過去舊時代的裝修. 不是全部移除.而是給它新的樣貌. 佩服業主的堅持.
Every video amazes me..Aiden tackles structure repairs that are massive and Carol's helping him plus all the pain staking details..beautiful team work!!
Thank you 😊
Oh my word guys, I am sitting here crying after watching this, we have watched every step of this journey so far but seeing it like this brings home how much brilliant back breaking work you have done.
We have done a lot of DIY however ours have been minuscule in comparison. 🙌🏻☺️
You should be so proud of where you are now and we can’t wait to see what comes next. Thanks for the inspirational ride 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️
Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year and hopefully you will have a well deserved break. 🎅🏻🥂🎄
Regards Shaz and Baz Australia ❤
Thank you Shaz & Baz and a Merry Xmas to both of you!🎄
so sweet
This room is going to be breathtakingly beautiful when you are finished. I can't wait until you show it to Terry and Ash. You should be proud of what you have accomplished. I love watching your vlog, It's my favorite and you deserve more followers.
Thank you Lisa. Terry and Ash did come over a few weeks ago. Merry Xmas! 🎄
Congratulations on the renovation work , amazing job done in the Louis XV salon, excavating and masonry work , you're a re such a good team .Hats off to you both ! I'm a Frenchman , thanks to you one of our châteaux is brought back to life .
Thank you very much!
My eyes got all stingy when I saw how much care you took to copy and replace instead of ripping it all out and making it easy. This house is truly your labor of love. I am in awe. Thank you for caring for something so beautiful and precious, one of a kind!. And I had to laugh watching you two work. It reminded me of an old toothless high-village Nepali grandmother I read about who said, "Women go "Tink, tink, tink" and men go "Tank, tank, tank!" Its true, beauty is in the little details that really make a house a home. Strength, safety, and protection is in the underpinings.
😂😂😂 so true!
That was the most satisfying video!
It really makes me so happy to see the two of you salvaging and bringing back to glory Such a magnificent piece of art like you’re home. !
It is a shame that nobody builds like that anymore! You both have exquisite taste.
Thank you Laurie and Merry Xmas
It's simply astounding how much work you have already accomplished. You should indeed be very proud of where you are now in your journey to create a chateau that will once again be a thriving chateau. Well done you two!
Thank you Lisa and Merry Xmas
So very exquisitely BEAUTIFUL !!! You should be so proud of all your hard work. I can’t help but watch….such care, such attention to detail, such perfection. I am excited to see what next year brings. Take care and rest up. Enjoy your holidays you certainly have earned it.
Thank you Dianne and Merry Xmas
Magnificent restoration, preserving the history and charm of an era gone by. Brilliant work; Congratulations on imprinting your delicacy in every detail, an homage to good taste.
Many thanks! 😊
This video not only shows the amazing amount of work you two have accomplished this past year but how well you both complement each other's skill sets as well as how detailed and respectful you both are to your particular craft in this restoration project. This video also highlights how much you two are smiling and laughing throughout this project. One has to have a sense of humor and some majors skills to take on such a huge project- Carole and Adrian, you two are amazing and you are killing it in bringing this old chateau back to her glory days. Beth, you did a fantastic job of putting this video of 2022 together. Merry Christmas- drink lots, eat lots and be as lazy as you want over the next couple of weeks. Peace and happiness from Donna in Taiwan.
Thank you Donna and Merry Xmas
@@LifeAfterLaFerté 😀
The passion, the consistency, the love and the happiness you brought to the old chateau are something that need to be appreciated. Such a lovely and hardworking people. I really enjoy this video. Very well done!💙
Thank you! 😊
Wow this was amazing. Ive forgotten many of the projects you recapped. All that hard work is so worth it. It’s beautiful!
I'm happy you saved the castle from going into ruins, but the level of craftmanship in the restoration is absolutely ruthless
I’m so proud of you both for all your hard work and dedication in creating the chateau of my, I mean your dreams. The grand salon is absolutely stunning and it’s not even finished. Your eye for detail is to be commended as not many people would be able to create a more beautiful room better than the original. So my next question is when are you finishing off my room? Merry Christmas to you all and let’s hope that the new year brings lots of prosperity and love…and my finished bedroom ❤️
Hopefully not too long now. Merry Xmas
Terrific video chronicling the amount of work the two of you accomplished.
I have watched along but had forgotten the before....great to compare the before and after. What y'all are doing deserves an award. It is truly amazing. Thanks for sharing this beautiful adventure.
Thank you Sandra and a Merry Xmas to you!🎄
Thanks for the twice weekly entertainment over the past 15 months. I watch your videos first because you get things done and don't "fart around" like they do on some other Chateau channels. Can't wait to see the front hallway and kitchen when they are finished.😃
Thank you and Merry Xmas! 🎄
I have seen lots of remodeling videos in the past, but your attention to detail is on another level. Can't wait for the final finished product of a complete Chateau walkthrough!
Wow, thanks!
So incredible! I can't even paint a flat wall. I'm envious of anyone who has this amount of talent. I know this is hard work that requires a lot of patience. I wish you the best in this project.
Thank you Andy
Well. I couldn't do all thst work now. 30 yrs ago yes indeed. I'd have to hire reno experts but if so some easy things. If I gad a LOTTERYWIN.. NO PROBLEM
Как же я обожаю такие проекты! Это словно вернуть к жизни замок Спящей красавицы! Проделан воистину титанический труд! Но красота получилась неимоверная!!! Спасибо!!!
This is so inspiring I almost cried. The love and care you've devoted to restoring as much as possible is breathtaking. This video isn't something I usually go to UA-cam for so I don't know why it came up on my feed today, but it has been the perfect timing. We are recently dealing with a mould/damp issue in our Edwardian semi detached home (nowhere near the scale of your beautiful property) and the idea of having to replace floorboards and plaster and decorating was a little overwhelming and I'll be honest I haven't even searched anything on my phone because I've been burying my head about it.... So your video popping up this morning had been comforting and inspiring. You've done such an amazing job, you can really see your passion in your work. Thank you for sharing!
Your welcome Beth. Looks like a job for 2023!
You deserve the biggest clap on the backs for such an amazing and sympathetic renovation of your stunning Chateau. A phenomenal feat which obviously took so much time, patience, love and skill. I have only just found your channel so will now start from the beginning of your journey. CONGRATULATIONS are indeed in order !!!
Wow, thank you and welcome aboard!
Absolutely astonishing the amount of work you’ve completed! Excellent choices and attention to detail. Well done!❤😊❤
I honestly do not know what to say. This is so amazing. Your attention to detail is so wonderful. I can't wait for more. Good luck in all that you do.
Thank you so much!
If I were y’all I’d be so puffed up pride right now,I’d be near bursting. I hope you are proud too! Y’all did a lot of great work. And I know the chateau is feeling much better about itself! ❤️😊
Thank you so much!!
Hello 9/20/23 from the United States 🇺🇸 Texas

That's tons of work in such a short amount of time, but time well spent on every effort. It looks wonderful. Keep going. your both wonderful to save this gem in the begining and its well worth the effort along with the Covid ride. Its a testament to your commitment in saving this structure with lots of history attatched to it. you should be very proud for the work you have put into this project.
Thank you Elizabeth and Merry Xmas
Incredible progress in one year and so much work, I look forward to each episodes. If the old owner could see what you have done, he might fall of his chair. Congratulations on all your hard word. Best of good wishes for 2023.
Hi Laurent. Hopefully the original family are coming to see the chateau this coming spring. One of the family was born here. Have a Merry Xmas
@@LifeAfterLaFerté I am sure they will be beyond impress with all your work. Hope to see their visit at the Chateau.
I'm astonished at what you've achieved here, phenomenal work, you guys have real talent.
I have a lot of respect for this couple. They obviously have the abilities and talents but they also have the dedication and aren't afraid of continuous hard work to accomplish this amazing restoration. Well done!

I watch every week in awe of what you achieved, but this puts it into perspective the enormity and level of craftsmanship you both put in. You must feel so proud. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas celebrating in these beautiful rooms in your lovely home/ chateau!
Thank you Kathy and Merry Xmas
You both have accomplished so much. Your attention to detail and striving to achieve the fine details. Thank you for all your hard work, and continued progress with your château & UA-cam channel. 🎉
Thank you and Merry Xmas
I spent 21 years in construction remodeling and have never been so impressed with the work of you two craftspersons in my life . When you hand replaced the gold leaf and stencil , I knew I was about to see something very wonderful and knew it would be done correctly .WOW !
Wow, thank you! That’s great to hear from someone of your experience 😊
C’est absolument sublime ! Quelle dextérité, quelle patience qu’elle dévouement envers l’histoire ( la restauration ) bravo … de Québec
D’accord
That was really impressive. I have followed along this year but to see it all together really puts it in perspective. Doing the joists and replacing all the floor supports was especially impressive, to even tackle that big of a job. Have a fantastic Christmas and a well deserved break.
Thank you Tina and Merry Xmas!🎄
Just to say that you are so good at what you do, that once you are done with your chateau, you could become renovation consultants. Also, your work is so exquisite, that you could open your chateau to the public, for a fee. Wishing you a restful holiday season! From Atlanta, USA.
Thank you Vilma and Merry Xmas
I admire these two people and others like them who have the courage to take upon such a huge task of reclaiming these old castles and giving them a new life!!! So much work, it seems endless... I would
have done the same thing have I had the money and the energy to do so much work(as I do have determination even now at 75...)!
Thank you 😊
