- Join us in taking a look back at everything we have achieved this year! 2022 has been full of ups and downs, steps forwards and steps backwards, but as a whole we have made so much progress!!
This main focus this year has been on finishing the dining room, doing the majority of the salon and beginning the utility room! The salon has been a long and slow progress, but we are so happy with how it has turned out and we cannot wait to see it finished.
Thank you so much for joining us in 2022, and we hope to see you all in 2023!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

![RESTORING our neglected 300-YEAR-OLD FARMHOUSE and garden [2 years in 24 minutes]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/22SkAp2KBHI/mqdefault.jpg)
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.
let's be real... nobody would destroy a foundation that looks like that.
@@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!
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.
I was wondering what the sentiment would be. Interesting discussion. Just viewing for the first time.
Beautiful❤
@@mysterioanonymous3206 bet you are the life of parties. What a turd.
@@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 !!
Thank you so much 😀
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.❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
I think the government should wave taxes for people who buy a castle and restore it. Otherwise, many chateaux are abandoned and damaged.
@@Hewau-fj5zz I think they should waive taxes for everybody
@@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)
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!
souls have seen
what a beautiful comment. Yesssss and they would cry of happiness🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘
🎉😢😮😅😊
NOT if you are ENGLISH

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.
Thank you Debby and Merry Xmas
@ ¹1
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.
😊
@rachelleheyen1377
I actually cried watching all the care taken by these two. Some artists are content with a small canvas. Not Adrian & Carole! BRAVO!!!! 💖
Thank you ☺️
It's strangely emotional when you see the old restored and brought back to life.❤
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 !
Thank you Jan and Merry Xmas
@ Merry Christmas to you and yours.

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.
Meticulous
And at their age, today's under 40 would not touch it.
You encouraged me to thinking, I can do anything. I'm 81....lol
I could! I just dont have the man or the money to fulfill the other side of the bargain! Lol.
Низкий Вам поклон ,РЕСТАВРАТОРЫ!
Здоровья,терпения,долгих лет жизни Вам!
ЦЕНИТЕЛИ ИССКУСТВА,УВАЖАЕМ ВАС,ЦЕНИМ ВАС,ЛЮБИМ ВАС!!!❤
Thank you for giving this lovely home its dignity back. The level of workmanship that you have accomplished is just amazing
Wow, thank you!
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.
Thank you Elaine and Merry Xmas
Ps Beth does the video editing. Carole’s the golden girl. 😂
@ Merry Christmas
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 .
Thank you Linda!

I am admiring the extraordinary dedication - a monument of human life like Melville's "Moby Dick"
You guys took restoration to a whole new level, down to the details of the molding. Amazing!
Thank you Alex!
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!
@@user-ee3zu9ec8iРодовую 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…
@@user-ee3zu9ec8iЧто 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!
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!
Thank you so much!
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.
Absolutely! Great thanks for your careful restoration of this heritage landmark. May you enjoy many years of happiness in your home.
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!
הביאו אותי לחשוב
This Chateau is smiling and extremely grateful that all of you are bring her back to life! She is and will always be magnificent!
Thank you 😊
its a male chateau
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:)
Thank you Ellen and Merry Xmas
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 wanted to volunteer to help all through the video. Incredible beauty work.
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.
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.
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. 🎉
Thank you 😊
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
Words just cannot express what y’all have accomplished in one year! I’m in awe!
Thank you Karen and Merry Xmas
Обои слишком светлые, на фоне золота они вообще теряются. Но вообще такой кропотливый труд по восстановлению дома вызывают искреннее уважение. Молодцы, настоящие профессионалы.
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 😊
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. ❤️😊
Our pleasure!
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!
Какая красота и какой невероятный труд и любовь к дому-замку! ❤️
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! 😊
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!
Wow, thank you!
Amen, I agree 100%!
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
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 😊
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 😊
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
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!
The amount of work that is put into these restorations is incredible. As I watch I can’t help but wonder if this much work was in the original construction!
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 😊
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.
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.
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!
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!
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 😊
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
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

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
Brilliant, what a joy to watch.

I hope your dream has come true.
🏠🏠🏠🤗🤗🤗It’s still fun to watch your time lapse progressions again! Amazing!
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.
You are both inspirational - your work is exquisite - just what the Chateau needed to hold its head high once more.
Wow what a talented family and group! Absolutely stunning and such hard devoted craftsmanship 🙏
Thank you 😊
Been there done it,know the work and emotions and ups and downs,salute
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!
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
Miles de aplausos....Que hermoso trabajo
And my best to you for the New Year!
Yes. Merry Xmas and happy new year to you
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
I started crying watching this… It’s so beautiful! Absolutely stunning! You guys have done amazing work.
Thank you Elizabeth and Merry Xmas
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 great work of the restoration team!!!
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
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
really admirable skills , devotion and persistence
The incredible energy!!!!!!
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
I have restore old properties. This brought back memories. The process of putting the puzzle back together here is astounding. I have so much respect for your diligence and perseverance. I'm curious what did you do with your gold leaf trimmings? 😊
What gold leaf trimmings?
i wondered the same thing.....
@ I think he's talking about the "scraps" of gold leaf from your gilding the ceiling details.
Amazing
Ah I see! We have given them to a friend who wanted them to make birthday cards!
Just a wow 🤩 this is sheer hard work. Keep up the Great work and show us the end results. Bless u guys
What an extraordinary work!!!
Masters!!!!
I'm astonished at what you've achieved here, phenomenal work, you guys have real talent.
"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!🎄
Magnificent work!
Gutted everything to ensure all was well done! Everyone knows how to do everything. Enjoy your gorgeous chateau!
What an incredible labour of love. Congratulations! Your efforts have certainly paid off 🍾
Thank you so much!
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
Your dedication and tremendous hard work to restore this chateau are truly exemplary 💫💫
Thank you Denise!
O yes id love to with u folks as u progress forward

A wonderful labour of love in the true sense, trying to restore rather than replace in so many cases is what makes this fabulous edifice come back to life.
Thanks for this, looking forward to next episode very much, well done!
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 Sarah and Merry Xmas
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..
Love the tenacity that brought back life history
Such love and dedication amazing what you both have done
Thank you Teri!
You guys rock!!!! Strong Brits who aren't afraid of really hard work. France is blessed to have you.
It is impressive how much work you've managed to do in such a short time frame.
Wielkie gratulacje :)
I dalszej wytrwałości życzę
So much work & skillfully done! Beautiful!
Thank you so much!
