    I feel like you have the best music. Many of the other Chanel’s I watch, have good visuals but I have to turn the sound down at times because the choice of music is unpleasant. With your music it ads to the rich texture of the visual content. Loved seeing Kitty out and about on your adventures. Enjoyed seeing how you picked out those tapestry colours as a starting point for the room. Thank you for creating this beautiful video.

La musique qui accompagne les images est toujours superbe et en adéquation celles-ci. Superbe restauration pour la chambre je ne savais pas que l'on pouvait peindre du parquet flottant ça m'a donné une idée 👍j'ai le même parquet dans les chambres et je commence à en avoir ras le bol ! Continuez tous les deux, c'est toujours un plaisir de vous suivre et j'attends avec impatience la prochaine vidéo. Ah ! encore une chose, j'adore votre jardin méditerranéen aussi. Profitez bien de la France rurale et de cette magnifique Charente. Merci

    Dont worry guys for not posting weekly, this is your life and we glad that you share it whenever you feel like it. Simply adore the light dusty pink you've chosen for your guest room (actually I am planning to use it in combination with a toile de jouy for my guest restroom with some vintage mirrors etc). What an amazing village! So lucky to live in this region. Love what you've done with the furniture. The golden effect is nice. I did the same with my grandmother's wooden carved hall mirror and looks like an old patina. Your guest room transformed from a 70s nightmare to an elegant dream! Products from producers market look yummy. Keep up the good work!

    I like what you've done with the guest room, having a bit of fun with color and finishes. I do think some kind of trim between the pink and wall color would be nice, either a narrow wallpaper border, or narrow (not picture molding) wood border with a little detail. Base coat it red oxide (dull red) then paint it with the gold paint you used on the furniture. Use some fine steel wool to burnish it, bringing some of the red through. I love beaded molding, the light plays wonderfully on it. Sorry to ramble, my two cents worth of decorating advice. The video was so warm and summery and ever so interesting.

    @TheCrowsNest1950 Рік тому

    Hi Robert and Jyrki, The dark color on the ceiling will bring it down and make the room look smaller, the lighter color will raise the ceiling and open up the space much more. I love a good trip to an antique shop, a flea market (boot sale) brocante, and a good antique show. the upstate roads in the North East used to be dotted with them for miles and miles. Since eBay less and less is available on the market, shops have closed and the shows are very expensive. I can still catch a bargain online, and furniture on the local auction market can be very affordable. The finished room and the furniture make such a difference in the guest room. I'm sure it will encourage a lot of house guests in your future Mark & Scott

    • @charenteliving
      @charenteliving  Рік тому

      Hi Mark and Scott! So interesting to read of your antique hunting. Its amazing how the markets can change, peoples taste, thus shops closing etc.. Even in our area here, you really have to hunt for something beautiful, not so easy to find. Online is great for those smaller pieces!!

I so adored all the wonderful marionettes. They're fabulous! I love what you have done so far to the upper floor bedroom. It looks lovely. The underground chapel is really unique and very interesting. Loved your final trip with your friends to the plant and cake shop. The previous evening meal and wine looked delicious too. Really happy you had company from your friends. They looked like really nice guys. Thanks for sharing your happy times. Best to you both always. I hope the sunshine lasts much longer.
