Hi Claire I have been following you for years but have never commented. I wanted to tell you how brave you are to post your before pictures of your property and home while undergoing a massive reconstruction. Most everyone just shows the after and of course it is always lovely. These photos are so real and it is fascinating to see what people actually go through in their journey to get to where it will be completed and magnificent. You have wonderful ideas and its nice you ask your followers for their suggestions. My suggestion to you would be to slow down and take your time. It is a very large undertaking to do what you are doing. Just the grounds alone are a huge project as well as the pool, house and surrounding buildings. You just had a baby and are about to launch another round of your clothing line. You should be enjoying your vacation home and it should be relaxing not crazy stressful with everything ripped apart. Everyone wants things done yesterday and I get that. I hope your workers understand your vision and don't make it difficult for you and your beautiful family. Good luck, be well and I will be following along...it's very exciting!
These are my 2 favorite resort wear- summer brands I have been wearing for years and advising my styling clients to invest in. They are the only 2 luxury brands with a timeless, luxurious, and distinctive pattern not a logo. Those who know- know. I am so glad at least one influencer mentions them since they are a well-kept secret of true affluent women for decades. Bravo Claire!
Claire I’ve never once looked at your body and thought anything but positive things! We’re our own worst critics but trust me you look amazing. Don’t beat yourself up…live in the moment and enjoy your life and body! It’s done amazing things growing 2 humans. Now it’s time to enjoy summer and wear whatever you want!!! Xxx
You look incredible for 9 weeks postpartum! I definitely have found it slow the second time round but we’ll get there. The house looks amazing I can’t wait to see the stages of renovations. Keep up the work it’s hard but worth it.
I have just renovated a beautiful house in Tuscany . I find its better to go with plants and flowers that go with the area and that will survive the climate. This is the first summer in 2 years that i can actually sit back with a bittle of red wine local cheese and fruit and smile and enjoy❤
It’s going to be amazing when it’s all finished. It’s always fun to have a huge project that takes a few years to complete. Then you can have everything exactly the way you want it. I hope you and your beautiful family live there forever in lots of love & happiness.
You are such an inspiration to me Claire! Such a girl’s girl with the loveliest family. Just started my IVF journey and watching your videos really, really helped me! Thank you ❤
You look beautiful Claire…..the diamond initial rings are fabulous… love the Missoni skirt and white t shirt, the skirt is gorgeous on you🥰……looking forward to seeing the house transformation ….some amazing ideas and a lot of work ahead…but will be wonderful once your vision is realised 😍..looking forward to your next house update 😊
Loved this vlog! So genuine and lighthearted. You are looking gorgeous. Congrats on your beautiful baby girl. We’ve had similar journeys. I loved seeing the fashion, your little market buys and house renovations.
Can’t believe you are back after only 9 weeks. I took 18 months off from life with my second, I wanted to enjoy every minute. I literally ate tea and biscuits all day and hunkered down with the kids for as long as possible. And got up to a size 16-18, but couldn’t have cared less. I was older than you, and found hot yoga to get back into shape. You can shed 3 dress sizes in a month hardly even trying. But you can’t do it if you are feeding, just enjoy the time, and when you are ready, you’ll ping back to where you were witb a bit of hot yoga! The SOF house renno is my favourite content, loved every minute!
Good morning from OZ 🌅 🇦🇺 It's hard to pick a favourite from this haul, Claire! I absolutely love the Missoni sarong and that Pucci bag and mini are gorgeous. The FOMO is real, when I watch your vids. 😁 You've done an amazing job so far, realizing your vision. You're an actual human dynamo! Domestic Goddess, mother, wife, business woman, vlogger... What about gardenias, tulips, hibiscus or calla lilly...
Don’t be hard on yourself you look amazing! The pool looks unreal, what about some kids play items beside the tree like a shady spot for them to play x
Great idea. When the roof goes on the pool house it should totally shade in front of the house so that’s where they can play. They can also play inside the pool house and under the parasols and olive trees.
Hi Claire! I love how you paired everything even after just giving birth! You’re looking amazing! ❤️ ps. I’m just curious, it looks like your house is on a farmland is there problem with snakes?
Thank you. No it’s not farm land, it’s typical sof countryside but we are so close to Cannes so it’s perfect having the best of both worlds. We don’t really have snakes here. Like literally never seen or heard anyone see one in 12 years. We have wild pigs which scare the life out of me but they are harmless.
No i wish! It’s one thing I wish we could have but it’s so expensive (I understand why) and it’s one thing we don’t “need”. I would love to in the future because I know someone could make it 100 times better than what I could.
@@claire.chanelle ok the main thing to know is to take the design lines from your house and pool. Think of everything in rectangles. This is especially important for hard landscaping, it must line up. You've got the right idea to focus on your views. Cypress trees can die easily with too much shade, water or drought when they're young. That area behind on the pool house looks tricky to grow another Cypress. If you do want the balance, cutting down the tree shading it is a good idea. And definitely get rid of the bamboo. It's horrible stuff
@@claire.chanelle and one other thing, if you like ornamental grasses, they do well in a Mediterranean climate. Your garden would suit having that texture against the flowers.
I forgot to say the shower is going by the entrance corner. I originally thought the same as you but it’s too shaded and might feel cold. But ever since I saw Pamela Anderson with an outdoor bathroom I’ve always wanted one and def having one here in France. It could be a great spot, I’m going to explore this. Thank you for the idea.
You’re welcome, I can’t wait to see how beautiful your home is going to be. I just love your fashion and home aesthetics. And by the way you have nice arms 😊
Hello Claire, You look fabulous! You Daughter grew for 9 months, your body will take 9 months to return. Be gentle with yourself, fertility treatments play havoc with your weight and hormones. Walking is a great exercise which you can do in the pool with ankle weights if desired. You have your Daughter who is your second miracle Bubba. OB/GYN Australia ❤❤

We just told the gardener which colours we want and then he picks. Ahhhh I cannot wait for that moment!
Thank you for showing more of your beautiful property, I can’t wait to see the transformation 😊
For the side of the pool house, a beautiful outdoor shower area would be nice
It’s going to be amazing when it’s all finished. It’s always fun to have a huge project that takes a few years to complete. Then you can have everything exactly the way you want it. I hope you and your beautiful family live there forever in lots of love & happiness.

Claire you are sooooo funny there must be a bit of Irish in you. You are lovely and you have a beautiful family.
Claire Round The Pool You Want To Plant Annabelle Hydrangeas They are Fabulous. Hope your all Well. Xx 😘
I love that idea!!!
I have hydrangeas mass planted by my pool , once a year major cut back feed otherwise very low effort stunning contrast
In SoF they’ll need to be on drip. They may also need some shade
I worry it is just too hot there for hydrangeas
Definitely too hot I live in Australia and they need so much water.
The house is going to be so amazing! Thank you for the video and have a wonderful day!
Lovely video Claire ! How exciting the property is beautiful and with your vision I am sure it’s going to look even better 😊
Stunning home stay blessed ❤
Love the hat..bought one as well. I get loads of compliments
Those colors are AMAAAAZING! WOW.I LOVE COLOR. Your doing great CC. Rememeber our Missoni discussion awhile back;)
Perhaps can you do a little shower in that space next to the pool house? An area to wash off the chlorine/bathe the dog
Good morning from OZ 🌅 🇦🇺
It's hard to pick a favourite from this haul, Claire! I absolutely love the Missoni sarong and that Pucci bag and mini are gorgeous.
The FOMO is real, when I watch your vids. 😁

What about gardenias, tulips, hibiscus or calla lilly...
Pucci. Very Marilyn Monroe❤️
Beautiful diamond 💎 rings 💍 ✨️ ❤😊
LEMon must be having a fit watching this lol
For your stone wall by the pool, I would consider planting either roses or bougainvillea white. You need a plant that can bloom well even in the heat.
Yes exactly. I just told the Gardner anything white.
On the left of the pool house in the small area would be amazing to have outdoor showers ! Ro rinse off and just a clean water source for thi gs 🤗
Don’t be hard on yourself you look amazing! The pool looks unreal, what about some kids play items beside the tree like a shady spot for them to play x
Great idea. When the roof goes on the pool house it should totally shade in front of the house so that’s where they can play. They can also play inside the pool house and under the parasols and olive trees.
@@claire.chanelle love it. Means you can sit with a drink in peace lol
Or white oleander survives great in the heat
I would be careful with the marble tiles as they are slippery from the pool. LOOKING GOOD
Claire , you are wearing Chanel sandals with your nightie, of course we want to see you lol
😂😂😂
Embrace that tiny post baby tummy💕 Look what it did for you 💋
Birken colour is beautiful 🩵

That sounds really beautiful! Perfect and safe for kids..Especially when they want to be outside playing all the time 😊
You look amazing fabulous,you should love your curves ❤
❤❤❤

Also are you getting help from a landscape desginer?
No i wish! It’s one thing I wish we could have but it’s so expensive (I understand why) and it’s one thing we don’t “need”. I would love to in the future because I know someone could make it 100 times better than what I could.

Just remember not to have tiles that when vet are slippery. Especially with the kids in and out of the pool.
I hate hearing you talk poorly about your body. You are gorgeous....
The space beside the pool house should be an out door bathroom with a shower.
I forgot to say the shower is going by the entrance corner. I originally thought the same as you but it’s too shaded and might feel cold. But ever since I saw Pamela Anderson with an outdoor bathroom I’ve always wanted one and def having one here in France. It could be a great spot, I’m going to explore this. Thank you for the idea.

Hello Claire,
You look fabulous!
You Daughter grew for 9 months, your body will take 9 months to return.
Be gentle with yourself, fertility treatments play havoc with your weight and hormones.
Walking is a great exercise which you can do in the pool with ankle weights if desired.
You have your Daughter who is your second miracle Bubba.
