    I would think a solid colored bedspread would be best with just a strip of the toile at the top that you can see when the bedspread is folded over.

    • @jmk1962
      @jmk1962 3 роки тому +9

      Maybe solid colour one side and toile on the other so you can flip it and change the look?

    • @roywirick9854
      @roywirick9854 3 роки тому +5

      there is the valance already in place. that adds a band of the toile from above. definitely live with it for awhile. also the age of fabric will factor in final choice. really old fabric will not wear well as a duvet used every day. whereas the crown and valance just sit there looking pretty!🦩

      Yes! Same in the 60's and then there was the 70's when they would do the same but the comments on the "younger" generations attire were quite opinionated and string. LOL. My one aunt probably wore a girdle under her swimsuit and would be shocked at the nudity of the 70's. Fond memories indeed.

    the view of sundown, shown somewhere close to 22:26, was absolutely breathtaking. there are many scenes that touch my soul at Lalande, but this particular one is so strikingly beautiful, as it shows the distance scenery, the miles, and the atmosphere. the orange-red seems to give a glow and a pensive feeling. this scene would make such wonderful stationery. it is easy to see the differences of Lalande and its gifts of beauty, the quest for excellence, the love of all things beautiful, the worth of the work, toil, and time. one can see the pay of real sacrifices and the good planning to make dreams come true. i follow and observe so many others, and i see their endeavors---or lack thereof---and i realize why they fail to succeed. they simply just don't put in the time, work, or planning for really successful out comes. i think Lalande is the real deal and will be around for many years to come.

I cannot wait to see the China room and the downstairs loo finished. I am a bit disturbed by the fact that I am almost as excited about those renovations as I am about my own. Living chateau-vicariously-ish. We all so enjoy watching the progress of projects that have been long in the making.

    The side curtains look great - my vote is for a "spread made to match the side curtains" and then line that spread with a solid "dark wine/burgundy" material that will match the "back" panel and the bed skirt...this way - when folded back...the color will pick up and bring it all together...so my vote from Virginia is "make a new spread from the side curtain material lined with solid color as the red/wine/burgundy in the bed skirt and crown back panel...lets see what you decide...enjoy !

    I have an idea for your crumbling outdoor terrace.
    1) Demo the entire crumbling lot and salvage as much of the original stone as possible.
    2) Pour a new footing around the perimeter of the terrace and build new cinder block walls from the footing up to the height of the terrace railing cap stone height.
    3) Pour an angled cement support structure for the stairs, then build cinder block walls on footings on either side up to the stair case railing cap stone height. Angle the top to match the angle of your stairs.
    4) Build the floor of the terrace with steel decking, install drains along the new cinder block railing leaving room for the fascia stone, then pour a stamped concrete deck on top that resembles flagstone or cobble stone.
    5) Install the original stone steps by setting them into cement on top of the new angled cement support structure.
    7) Clad the cinder block walls with your salvaged stone then finish the tops of your terrace stone railings with cap stones.
    8) I would also suggest incorporating lamp posts in the corners of the terrace and on either side of the staircase. The lamp posts and electrical would have to be installed at the same time the cinder block walls are being built.
    This will provide a stable structure that will last for another 200+ years. It will maintain the original historical appearance and provide a dry storage room underneath for your garden tools, and winter storage for your outdoor furniture. I am looking at buying a Property in Spain to escape the Canadian Winters and get back to my European Roots, if I manage to make that purchase I would love to take a side trip to visit you and your Beautiful Chateau.

    You could always use the other curtain folded at the end of the bed for usable decor, think Ralph Lauren with layers of mix and match. Then use a solid or stripe or something with a texture for the main spread

      They had mentioned before that the future inground pool might actually go where today’s blow up pool is. At least they’ve said it before… who knows? I hope for their sake they get a real pool sooner than 5 years, but I understand there are bigger priorities to take care of first.
