If you love fixing up old houses, chateau renovation, old home transformation, DIY projects, finding antiques, and all things French, come along on our adventure! We're an American couple renovating a maison bourgeoise (chateau charm on a small scale) in the historic city center of Amboise, in the Loire Valley of France.

I’m always so impressed with your renovation projects and I love the new utility room! That tile is perfect.
Merci, Hannthrax! 😊 We are loving our "new" utility room.
Your laundry room turned out great, love the tiles and meeting your scruffy little dude ❤
Thanks for sharing your Austin laundry room makeover. Such a hadyman. Your dog ìs sooo cute. Also enjoyed glimpses of your hometown and your passtimes there. Looking forward to your next.
Thanks so much! 😊
I´ve been to Austin when I lived in McAllen..loved it. Now I am in my native Berlin, planing to move to the south of France.love your Videos :)
You guys are so handy! I love watching these videos ❤
Thanks for watching, Cheeks! ☺️ Glad you enjoy them.
Roller Derby! You've turned up the dial on your cool factor! Maybe you start up an Amboise league?
Ha ha thanks. No plans to start a league - we'll be too busy renovating our house and hosting creative events! 😊
What a great change to your laundry room. I would have loved to see you cleaning up that black grout 🤪. Must have been a huge job. Floor looks great❤️
Ha! Things got so tense that I didn't even film it. 😅 It was not fun. But cleaning vinegar did the trick.
I moved from Austin last year. I do miss HEB!
The laundry room turned out fantastic. Love me a good boil, you all had me drooling 🤤
Those tiles made such a beautiful difference! Good work! You are a good team.
You have the best of both worlds going on. Jojo looks so cute!😊
Thank you so much! 😊
I'm in New Zealand - another new place.... Being somewhere like France blows my mind. Love your houses. Good you can hone your reno skills in the US
Thanks for sharing your life in Austin. It’s fun to see how you live when not in France. Keep up the great videos
Thanks for watching!
Hello from a Houston fan. I love watching your projects both in France and in Austin. New tile is so much better. Isn't the heat fun this summer?
So fun. 😅🥵🫠🫠🫠
Your laundry room turned out spectacular; all the work paid off. I’ve never been to Texas so it was interesting to see that Austin is much like the NW without the mountains. 😂 Watching the tile removed and the new installed properly was interesting until that black chalk was smeared all over! Glad to see it came off and you now won’t have to worry about dirty-looking chalking as so many people do. I used to LOVE rollerskating the Venice and Santa Monica boardwalks. I still have my Chicago Skates knowing full well I will never use them again. 😢 One fractured hip just going for a walk on a flat sidewalk is one too many. 😂
Thanks so much! 😊 And yes, Austin is very similar to Seattle & Portland. Having lived in Seattle for 11 years, we can say that for a fact. 😅 But the rest of Texas is quite a bit different. Skating the boardwalks in CA must've been so fun! 🛼🛼 Thanks for watching!
Omg, your doggy looks like mine, they could be bros!

Europe is so much more easygoing. Regards from the Netherlands.
Are you planning to stay living in the USA or are you planning to go from one to the other or permanently move to France?
We are planning to move to France full-time, probably in 2 or 3 years. Until then, we only live there part-time, going back and forth to Austin.
Great room reno ❤
Love the little doggie....following every step you made. 🥰👌But why the short hair? It is not natural. He is much more pretty with longer hair.
As someone who also lives in Texas while our dog may look “prettier and more natural” with longer fur, she is miserable in the heat with it long and vastly prefers it short, especially in the summer.
@@jaimeflowersashley9380 Well , as they often go to France the sweet dog can have longer hair then. Specially in autumn and winter. Then it keeps him warm! Or must he stay in the US?
