Hi Stuart and Patrick. I just love Matt and Nick and what they said is how many of us feel too. They did a wonderful job on the clock and how neat it will be for them to always be able to see it and remember❤.
Your patrons express it so eloquently. The clock is beautiful and they now can watch the channel and catch glimpses of their own part of Chateau de Colombe!
Matt and Nick, the clock looks beautiful. Your careful work is inspiring, as is your feelings about the chateau and Patrick and Stuart. Hope you get a chance to visit again.❤
Oh, Matt and Nick, you are spot on. People are too much in a rush with the hustle and bustle. Slow down and enjoy the scenery. The clock looks amazing and cleaned up with loving hands. Do I see two more converts to Chateau life in the future? Many friends are to be made in France. I absolutely love the ceiling rose. The light is perfect for the dining room x
Matt and Nick did an amazing job on the clock. I could have done it nearly as well. You might be spot on….. they’d be perfect custodians for a chateau. And we’d be thrilled to have them close by. 😊the ceiling rose is so precious. Makes the room complete. Love from Colombe ❤
Matt and Nick have expertly restored the beauty of the hall clock. Well done! It was so nice to hear the reasons they help and support Colombe and apparently other chateaux too.
Dear Patrick and Stuart, Matt and Nick did a wonderful job bringing the clock back to its beauty, but it is what they said that expressed how many of us feel. Living in the States we are in a hustle bustle lifestyle and the news is always negative. Watching you and other chateau owners who respect history and the slowdown of the French lifestyle is healing and joyful. In addition, the families and friends on these channels represent the good side of humanity and for that I am ever so grateful. Love ❤ from historic New Hope, Pennsylvania. ❤
Dear Stephanie. Nick and Matt are such caring and loving people. I love your comment! We never think about the news or the divisions in many countries. So it also never occurred to us that what we show, as well as other chateaux channels, is the bright side of life. Friendship, support, love and care is what we all live. Of course there are struggles and hurdles too. I am grateful that you,pointed that out. Love as always from us ❤❤❤
Hello my two favourite gentlemen , This was such a good vlog as per usual great music Stuart. Mozart Bach and Hayden etc. I’m always impressed by you Patrick at how you can repair all these different things like clocks lamps etc especially all the small fiddly bits. The lamp is beautiful. I think you have the work divided perfectly as you both have a variety of different skills between you and your the “Ying to the others Yang” if that’s the right saying. It was lovely to see Matt and Nick work on the clock as they are very talented young men. I found it very touching about what they were saying about being patrons and the way of life that you now have and how this wee community on this vlog have found so much joy and pleasure being part of this journey with you. It must have meant a lot to you to hear that and gives you that wee bit more encouragement to keep ploughing ahead even with the not so nice jobs like plastering the ceilings Patrick. Big huge hugs from me. 👏🏼👏🏼🥰🇨🇮
Thank you so much sweet lady. ❤❤. We work really well together and add to each others talents. Having Matt and Nick here is such a treat. Like Irene and Donna, they are powerhouses and so truly caring. These gentlemen are really talented and soooo caring. It touched us deeply to hear why they are a part of our lives and support our journey. It often makes me pause and wonder that amazing people like them, you, Irene and Donna (and many others) can care our lives and vision so deeply. We are blessed and thankful. Love you darling. ❤❤❤
The light fixture for the petit salon has a certain charm. The standing clock looks nice after the cleaning. Your patrons are pleasant. Take care my friends, Ralph Rocchiccioli
Thank you so much. We bought the light when we were going for Napoléon I. If we can sell this lovely chandelier, we will look for something else. Best from Colombe
Hi sweeties. Tonight, there were not so many people for the salsa. In Europe, we have EU soccer competition between all EU countries. Tonight is was Netherlands- France. End result 0-0😅 But i still enjoyed dancing. The lamp looks so beautiful after the clean-up. I saw the wallpaper for the Petite Salon. It will make the breakfast room look gorgeous. The clock looks so much better after cleaning and putting on the wax. Matt and Nick did a great job. One thing less from the restoration list👍 Weather is improving good temperature a little rain. Have a great weekend. Hugs and kisses also for the furries 🥰😘❤️🐕
Have a great weekend sweetie. They did a wonderful job with the clock. It now is grand again. I follow the results of the football only. No time to watch 😂😂😂. We might change our minds about the wallpaper…. Again. We shall see. Love from Colombe ❤❤❤
Somehow, I missed this one 😕 So glad I saw it. Beautiful clock restore by Matt and Nick. Nice to have met them. 😊 Another chandelier comes alive, Patrick. Love the gold.❤️ 😍 Perfect for the petit salon.👌
Matt and Nick did a great job on the clock. They made an important observation about life. We’re so busy we miss out. It’s easier to buy the solution or happiness, so to slow down, make or fix something and enjoy the process is life.
The clock looks fantastic!!! You better turn some other projects over to those fellows. What a difference; doesn't look like the same piece. They are right about the pace of life in America; watching this program is a chance to relax and savor a slower tempo. I look forward to this channel. It is my downtime.
Thank you Bobbie. We’d have a ton of projects for these two amazingly talented gentlemen. It is received and yore spot on, not even looks like the same wood. We are really amazed how many people comment on the fact that the vlog is a relief from the fast pace of life and how much they enjoy our crazy journey. Love from Colombe ❤
You guys have wonderful patrons! Matt and Nick did a great job on the clock and it was lovely to meet them. The chandelier for the petite salon is so pretty. I’m looking forward to the renovations in that room!
Matt and Nick, what you said is spot on. And beautiful restoration of the tall clock. I love detail, that would have been a fun project for me! One way or the other, I am going to get over to help you Patrick and Stewart. It would bring me such joy!
Hi darling Lisa. They really hit a nerve with the pace of life and what is important. And the clock……. How fantastic! We’d be happy to welcome you at Colombe. 😊😊😊. Love and hugs (and there are plenty of projects left, I promise) 😮😂😮❤❤❤
Hi guys. Another lovely vlog. The ceiling rose, and the light will look great. Hi to Matt and Nick. Awesome job on the clock.you will both have to come back again. I think you both spoke about how we all love the guys. Building up communities of loving support. ❤
Hugs Peter. Thank you. The petit salon will be lovely. We hope 😂😂😂. We would love to welcome them back. Matt and Nick are just wonderful and we hot it off right away. Like with Donna and Mary. Indeed, we are attracting a community of kind and loving people. It is meant to be. ❤❤❤
Blessed are the helpers - the ones who lend and hand know what life is about. Kindness and love! John - Nick and Matt, so kind to lend a hand and support Stuart and Patrick in their restorations.
What lovely people! All of you! The comments made by Matt and Nick were perfect and I couldn't agree with them more! To top it all off, they did a fantastic job on the hall clock too! Thank you Patrick and Stuart for including us in these moments....it made my day!
Thank you so much Norma. Matt and Nick are amazing and did they ever do a fantastic job on that clock. It is absolutely amazing now. Thank you for being with us. ❤❤❤
Patrick and Stuart, you are fortunate to have such nice patrons in Matt and Nick. They cleaned and waxed the clock in the entry hall so that it looked alive again. A happy memory will be theirs to share each time you pan past the hall, and they can see their handiwork. 😊
What an impressive job Matt & Nick did on the clock casing It now has a beautiful finish! It really does look great in the entrance hall now. Well done guys. 😘😘
Hi Patrick and Stuart, I found that using a ball chain, it's the same as the pull chain on old ceiling lights. It is an easy way to get lamp wire through tricky chandelier and sconce arms. The restoration of clock by Matt and Nick, with just the right amount of gold highlights, looks terrific in the entry hall. I can't wait to see the progress in the Petite Salon. Mark & Scott
Matt and Nick ! Thank you for being Patreon’s and for actually heading to France and staying at Colombe 😊 meeting Patrick and Stuart and your talents look incredible. Let’s go USA and support this channel and Patrick and Stuart !
The grandfather clock looks gorgeous. Well done patrons. My husband was watching you put up the ceiling rose and his immediate comment was when putting the final plaster (?) around the ceiling edge, use a damp cloth over your finger. It works really well and I can attest to that. Same as when putting silicone in edges and corners. Done both. The chandalier is gorgeous too. Best wishes.
The “new” chandelier in the Petit salon is so different! I love the acorn shaped lights. Looks so much better with the new Rosette up and that shiny new light! ❤❤ the tall clock looks so good after a bit of TLC ..
It was quite emotional to hear why your guests became patrons, and now they are a part of something very special. They made a fantastic job of the grandfather clock it looks beautiful. Patrick, you made such a good job of the light for the petite salon. It looks very pretty. Have a lovely weekend guys ❤😊❤ 👋
Hugs Cheryl. I agree with you. How amazing is that. And now, indeed, they are part of that restored clock. The light is lovely now. Thank you so much and have a wonderful weekend ❤❤❤
They are two fantastic young people and I understand their approach so much. They know how to appreciate and see what many of our contemporaries no longer know how to see or even appreciate: caught in the whirlwind of modernity and “progress”. Yet they are so young. When they say they love you, how can you not agree with that too, you both are so endearing. Patrick, I am with you wholeheartedly about the plaster and I know to what extent this thankless work requires great know-how and also an artistic touch to do a beautiful job.
I love your comment. You are absolutely correct. They are young and have an appreciation for antiques and history that is rare now. We just met them but we feel we know them for many years. You are so kind. We are just ourselves and we truly appreciate your kind and touching words. Thank you also for your comment on plaster. Love and hugs from Colombe. ❤❤❤❤
Great video, Patrick & Stuart. Really enjoyed meeting your kind patrons! Their explanation for why people want to support chateau owners was spot on. Here in the US, it's all about competition and moving as fast as you can (to where, that is not always clear). So it's great to be able to support beautiful chateau and to ensure that the rest of the world doesn't turn into the US. That would be, simply, awful.
My dear Michael. Thank you so much. We loved meeting Nick and Matt too. We talked on the phone of course. But what a joy. And the pace of life here is so enjoyable. We truly wanted that change. We had no idea how many people felt so deeply about our channel. In essence, we are deeply thankful for the support and input we receive. And we will not turn into a fast pace channel. Love from Colombe ❤❤
Hello to Nick and Matt! I agree with what they have expressed, watching your channel is truly a treat for your soul, it just brings so much joy to me. Thank you for sharing a small part of your beautiful home with all of us! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! ❤️
Joaquina, you are very kind. Thank you so much. Nick and Matt did a much better job than we could have done. We are so thankful to them. So glad you enjoy the channel for the same reasons. Makes us truly happy. ❤❤❤
It must have been so satisfying for Matt and Nick to have personally made such an impact on that antique clock that was simply gasping for a cleaning and waxing. I'm sure it will remind them of happy memories every time they see it. And everytime you walk by, you will be reminded of your kind patrons. Win, win for all of you! I think the revival of run-down lovely things to their former glory is a key part of why I enjoy chateau blogs so much.
Hi Barbara. The guys loved what they did and we couldn’t have wished for more knowledgeable and passionate restorers. ❤. What a stunning clock! We will all have that memory. How fantastic. And so true. Reviving things and buildings that most would not look at twice is incredibly satisfying. Love from Colombe ❤😊
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 My imagination sees a wall paper with sort of pale citrus colors…yellow, peach, light sage, vanilla white, and even your now famous grey. Because I think they are nice colors for a breakfast room, and I heard you say that would be its use (instead of shenanigans)?
Two great guys helping out with a restoration. Personally, I would have chained them to the chateau and given them additional projects (i.e. plastering), etc.
Hi Donald. Aren’t they amazing those two. I tried to catch them but they were just too fast. So we have to wait till they decide to come back. But we will be sad to see them go. 😮 love your comment. ❤❤❤. Hugs from Colombe 😊
Your biggest achievement has been finding Tony and Jane! What an asset and such wonderful friends. Patrick, nothing exists that you won’t tackle, even if not happily. 😂 Stuart has other creative skills so necessary in your renovation project. It’s starting to reveal itself regally. Thank you for showing us the plan of where you’re working; it certainly helps us to understand. Greetings from Brisbane ❤
Hi Jenny. I agree, meeting Tony and Jane is like we found the siblings we never knew we had. We are blessed. And we are making progress. How fantastic is that! Love your comment ❤❤❤
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Patrick, I have to tell you that I have noticed the forks turned down on French dining tables since I first saw yours some months ago! LOL Stephanie also explained that the decoration on the backs of French forks is because of that style of dining setting. I love learning new stuff.
Well done Matt and Nick, you have given the clock a new life. You will always be remembered by Patrick and Stuart every time (pun intended) they walk by the clock. I wish you well on your continued travels. Patrick and Stuart looking forward to your progress in the Petit Salon. Hugs and stay well to all.
Darling Ina. Good pun and absolutely true. Coming down the stairs….. there she is and these two gentlemen put in so much love and time to bring her back to life. 😊😊😊. We will be sad to see them leave. 😢. The petit salon will be a great project. We cannot wait to get things going. Love from Colombe ❤
Hugs Carla. They did a fantastic job with the clock. The light fixture will be splendid when you see it up, I promise. ❤❤❤ love from Colombe and thank you so much
Thank you very much Patricia. The clock looks fantastic. Can’t wait to see the light up. Disk and plater work too. So many improvements. We love it. ❤❤❤
your customers have summed up what interests those who look at you, it is the passion that drives you both in the design and in the choice of your furniture.. and of course the simplicity of your words and your welcome.. Thank you for everything that
Thank you Dominique. They did a wonderful job. We are glad that our passion shows and that we make viewers like you welcome. Highly appreciated feedback. Friendship from Colombe ❤
Lovely vlog as always, and great to meet Matt and Nick. Whoever comes to stay will no doubt want to help you lovely guys in whatever way they can, I would. Would be great to roll up the sleeves and do anything needed. Even if its only pulling up weeds! See you both Wednesday 🙋♀️
Patrick: Thanks for reaching out to my chain Them to the chateau remark. The moment that I saw the work they accomplished on the clock, I thought of you and your disdain for plastering. Grab 'em while their hot is my motto. Love watching you guys and the work involved in maintaining this wonderful edifice. My best regards to both of my Chicago guys. I know there will be more words of wisdom from this fertile, but slightly warped brain. Donald
Thank you Matt and Nick for expressing what many of us feel. (And for the beautiful job on the clock!) I hope you have fun in Nice! I think the chandelier will be perfect. "Enjoy" the plastering, Patrick! LOL!
Thank you Larry. That is so sweet. They were a joy to have at the chateau and amazing to watch while they worked with an amazing determination and focus. Very knowledgeable about antiques too. We were sad to see them leave but the Cote D’Azure…. Absolutely will enjoy every moment plastering. 😂😂😂. Love from us my friend. 😊❤😊
Le lustre pour le petit salon est vraiment SUPERBE ! Bravo à Tony pour la réparation, et à Patrick pour le câblage, le nettoyage et le remontage. Très bon choix à vous deux pour l'avoir mis dans le petit salon. Bravo à Matt et Nick pour avoir rendu à cette vénérable horloge sa splendeur d'antan... Amitiés à tous les deux.
Salût Éric. Thank you so much indeed. How wonderful to read your feedback. Le lustre est vraiment joli. L’horloge est magnifique. Hugs and friendship from Colombe 😊😊😊
Hi Albert. Indeed, the gunk and bird poop as well as the grime of 80 years in a barn was carefully removed and the nourished and polished with natural waxes….. the case smells wonderful. 😮😊😂. This was a true Cinderella story. Hugs😊
Honestly, your division of tasks related to your individual skills is a huge credit to the success of your partnership, and of the renovation of your Chateau. I simply love to watch you both at what you are so clearly good at. Love Love Love.
Nick and Matt did a fantastic job on the clock. What a wonderful thing to do for both you and for themselves. It will always bring back lovely memories every time they spot it in a video. The ceiling medallion is a stunner; so is the chandelier! What a great glimpse into your vision for the room. Love the paint samples on the wall, too. Thinking a French blue? Big hugs!❤️
What a wonderful job Matt and Nick did with the clock it's beautiful 😍,loved the chandelier Patrick and Stuart the music once again was divine can't wait for the renovation in the petite salon I am looking forward to it take care and see you both next time 💕🌼🤗
Have never seen this room before ! Can’t wait to see the progress❤The size of the room is lovely - perfect for a cozy place to spend a few hours. Grandfather clocks are wonderful! I have 2 ! Love to think about the stories they could tell watching over their families homes over generations ❤❤❤So enjoy having you two and the beauty you create as part of my life😊
Gosh Nancy, that is such a sweet comment. Indeed, grandfather clocks are amazing. They watched over so much history. The petit salon is lovely and intimate. Looking forward to getting it re plastered. We are blessed to have you watching our crazy journey. Hugs ❤❤❤
Well done, Matt & Mick! That will be a lasting memory of your visit. Enjoy the rest of your trip! Patrick - the light fixture for the petit salon is very handsome. More proof that not every chandelier needs a hundred crystals to look good!
Matt and Nick are amazing gentlemen. And indeed, they left a memory behind. How Devine. It is true, not every light needs to be dripping with crystals. This one is very special. Love from Colombe ❤
All around beautiful video I really enjoyed the workmanship of the two guest. The chandelier looks beautiful, yes the ceiling disk is perfect. Good choice. Patrick please don’t get offended, but I like when you pull your hair back it just shows your lovely face. Both of you have a great personality. Until your next video.
Hi there. Thank you so much. The two gentlemen did such a fantastic job. What talent. Glad you like the chandelier and the ceiling rose. I mostly keep my hair back. And thank you for the lovely compliment ❤❤❤. Hugs
you beat us , our ceiling roses still standing in the hallway 😆 lovely ceiling rose guys x Bradley loves grandfathers clocks , i got him one and he got his eye on another one , he would just collect them 🤣 lol , much love Yx
Hello sweet man. I have to admit that this rose sat in a box for 9 months……. So I believe you will still beat us! 😂😊😂. We have 2 working tall clocks and one that is bust 😮😮😮. We will use it as decoration in a gîte. 😊. We totally share Bradley’s passion. ❤❤❤. Love you you two from Colombe ❤❤
Matt a Nick mají úplnou pravdu žijete život o kterém se nám ostatním může jen zdát. Také je pravda že se musí sejít skvělý zámek a dva tak naprosto úžasní kluci jako jste vy dva Patrick a Stuart aby ta chemie mohla fungovat. Miluji vaši práci i to jaký máte styl a vaše videa. Mimochodem Matt a Nick odvedli úžasnou práci na těch hodinách.
Thank you so much Irena. Matt and Nick did such an amazing job. When they talked about Colombe, it made us realise that we do live in a different world. We are grateful for your wonderful comment. And we are humbled by your kind words. Love from Colombe ❤❤
As always, Stuart, thank you for the lovely music!! Such an unusual & exquisitely beautiful chandelier for the Breakfast Room, Patrick & Stuart!! I don't think I have seen another like it anywhere. What a find!! It was such a treat to see the transformation of the Hall clock Matt & Nick restored!! The result was breathtaking!! Great job guys!! 🇺🇸
Hugs and thank you Jane. The chandelier is quite unique. It was the first like this we have even seen and since it was broken, it was a steal. We are so happy to have the clock being such a stunner now thanks to Matt and Nick. Thank you for a wonderful comment. ❤❤❤
That is so true. They warned us that they wanted a project. And they exceeded any expectations we could possibly have had. 😊😊😊 Hugs and a happy weekend ❤❤❤
My goodness, you are so talented. I just love watching all your restoring of clocks, chandeliers etc…. You don’t just buy everything in perfect condition, so you therefore have a wider selection to choose from. Other people wouldn’t touch these!
Hello Lyn. Thank you so much. We love to give new life to things that other people wouldn’t want to look at (also goes for animals) 😮. You are 100% right, we have a much larger selection. Hugs and kisses ❤❤❤
The clock now makes such a statement in the hall. They are amazing patrons and friends. Ohhhhhh. That bedroom. I ignore it when I walk through. That’s a winter project. 😮. Glad you liked the episode. ❤❤❤
Well done guests - the clock looks fabulous. Exciting for your to start on the Petit Salon and the decoration on chandalier & unusual lampshades is really interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Stuart and Patrick. I just love Matt and Nick and what they said is how many of us feel too. They did a wonderful job on the clock and how neat it will be for them to always be able to see it and remember❤.
Thank you so much Kathy. That is incredibly of you ❤❤❤❤❤
Your patrons express it so eloquently. The clock is beautiful and they now can watch the channel and catch glimpses of their own part of Chateau de Colombe!
Matt and Nick, the clock looks beautiful. Your careful work is inspiring, as is your feelings about the chateau and Patrick and Stuart. Hope you get a chance to visit again.❤

Hi sweeties. Tonight, there were not so many people for the salsa. In Europe, we have EU soccer competition between all EU countries. Tonight is was Netherlands- France. End result 0-0😅
But i still enjoyed dancing.
The lamp looks so beautiful after the clean-up.
I saw the wallpaper for the Petite Salon. It will make the breakfast room look gorgeous.
The clock looks so much better after cleaning and putting on the wax. Matt and Nick did a great job.
One thing less from the restoration list👍
Weather is improving good temperature a little rain.
Have a great weekend. Hugs and kisses also for the furries 🥰😘❤️🐕

It works really well and I can attest to that. Same as when putting silicone in edges and corners. Done both. The chandalier is gorgeous too. Best wishes.
We use a glass of water and dip fingers in water to smooth it out. Cloth would remove too much of the caulking. Thanks.
Rocking the Nautica shirt Stuart👍
Patrick and Staurt you are amazing, and the the people who collect around you. The clock looks wonderful.
Thank you Susan. You are truly a very kind and caring person. Love from Colombe ❤
Wow! Fabulous! They have done such a wonderful job.
The clock looks amazing - great job by Nick and Matt
Thank you. We are over the moon with the restoration ❤❤❤
The chandelier looks gorgeous and that clock is so beautiful now. Great job, everyone.
Thank you so much Linda. This was a good week! ❤❤❤
The “new” chandelier in the Petit salon is so different! I love the acorn shaped lights. Looks so much better with the new Rosette up and that shiny new light! ❤❤ the tall clock looks so good after a bit of TLC ..

It was quite emotional to hear why your guests became patrons, and now they are a part of something very special. They made a fantastic job of the grandfather clock it looks beautiful.
Patrick, you made such a good job of the light for the petite salon. It looks very pretty. Have a lovely weekend guys ❤😊❤ 👋
Hugs Cheryl. I agree with you. How amazing is that. And now, indeed, they are part of that restored clock. The light is lovely now. Thank you so much and have a wonderful weekend ❤❤❤
They are two fantastic young people and I understand their approach so much. They know how to appreciate and see what many of our contemporaries no longer know how to see or even appreciate: caught in the whirlwind of modernity and “progress”. Yet they are so young. When they say they love you, how can you not agree with that too, you both are so endearing. Patrick, I am with you wholeheartedly about the plaster and I know to what extent this thankless work requires great know-how and also an artistic touch to do a beautiful job.
I love your comment. You are absolutely correct. They are young and have an appreciation for antiques and history that is rare now. We just met them but we feel we know them for many years. You are so kind. We are just ourselves and we truly appreciate your kind and touching words. Thank you also for your comment on plaster. Love and hugs from Colombe. ❤❤❤❤
Great video, Patrick & Stuart. Really enjoyed meeting your kind patrons! Their explanation for why people want to support chateau owners was spot on. Here in the US, it's all about competition and moving as fast as you can (to where, that is not always clear). So it's great to be able to support beautiful chateau and to ensure that the rest of the world doesn't turn into the US. That would be, simply, awful.
My dear Michael. Thank you so much. We loved meeting Nick and Matt too. We talked on the phone of course. But what a joy. And the pace of life here is so enjoyable. We truly wanted that change. We had no idea how many people felt so deeply about our channel. In essence, we are deeply thankful for the support and input we receive. And we will not turn into a fast pace channel. Love from Colombe ❤❤
Hello to Nick and Matt! I agree with what they have expressed, watching your channel is truly a treat for your soul, it just brings so much joy to me. Thank you for sharing a small part of your beautiful home with all of us! Hope you have a wonderful weekend! ❤️
Joaquina, you are very kind. Thank you so much. Nick and Matt did a much better job than we could have done. We are so thankful to them. So glad you enjoy the channel for the same reasons. Makes us truly happy. ❤❤❤
Beautiful music …talented people … that light fixture is gorgeous …. awesome job Matt and Nick
Great episode Thank-you xx
Hello Sidra. Glad you like the chandelier. And the clock case….. who knew it could be this fantastic? Love from us ❤❤❤
It must have been so satisfying for Matt and Nick to have personally made such an impact on that antique clock that was simply gasping for a cleaning and waxing. I'm sure it will remind them of happy memories every time they see it. And everytime you walk by, you will be reminded of your kind patrons. Win, win for all of you!
I think the revival of run-down lovely things to their former glory is a key part of why I enjoy chateau blogs so much.
Hi Barbara. The guys loved what they did and we couldn’t have wished for more knowledgeable and passionate restorers. ❤. What a stunning clock! We will all have that memory. How fantastic. And so true. Reviving things and buildings that most would not look at twice is incredibly satisfying. Love from Colombe ❤😊
Can’t wait to see what you are gonna do with the Respite Room (aka the Shenanigans Salon)…..and great job on the clock Matt and Nick!
Either can we….. we are still debating wallpapers……. 😮. Matt and Nick are fantastic😊
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 My imagination sees a wall paper with sort of pale citrus colors…yellow, peach, light sage, vanilla white, and even your now famous grey. Because I think they are nice colors for a breakfast room, and I heard you say that would be its use (instead of shenanigans)?
Wow! What a FABULOUS job Matt and Nick did on restoring the clock!
Absolutely ❤❤
Two great guys helping out with a restoration. Personally, I would have chained them to the chateau and given them additional projects (i.e. plastering), etc.
Hi Donald. Aren’t they amazing those two. I tried to catch them but they were just too fast. So we have to wait till they decide to come back. But we will be sad to see them go. 😮 love your comment. ❤❤❤. Hugs from Colombe 😊
Your biggest achievement has been finding Tony and Jane! What an asset and such wonderful friends. Patrick, nothing exists that you won’t tackle, even if not happily. 😂 Stuart has other creative skills so necessary in your renovation project. It’s starting to reveal itself regally.
Thank you for showing us the plan of where you’re working; it certainly helps us to understand.
Greetings from Brisbane ❤
Hi Jenny. I agree, meeting Tony and Jane is like we found the siblings we never knew we had. We are blessed. And we are making progress. How fantastic is that! Love your comment ❤❤❤
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Patrick, I have to tell you that I have noticed the forks turned down on French dining tables since I first saw yours some months ago! LOL Stephanie also explained that the decoration on the backs of French forks is because of that style of dining setting. I love learning new stuff.
Love the petit salon and the clock being restored. Thanks Stuart, Patrick, Matt and Nick. Loved seeing all the doggies too.
Thank you David. It was a fun week and we are progressing. Hope your healing is progressing as well. Love from all of us.
Well done Matt and Nick, you have given the clock a new life. You will always be remembered by Patrick and Stuart every time (pun intended) they walk by the clock. I wish you well on your continued travels. Patrick and Stuart looking forward to your progress in the Petit Salon. Hugs and stay well to all.
Darling Ina. Good pun and absolutely true. Coming down the stairs….. there she is and these two gentlemen put in so much love and time to bring her back to life. 😊😊😊. We will be sad to see them leave. 😢. The petit salon will be a great project. We cannot wait to get things going. Love from Colombe ❤
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 😘
I agree that you two are authentic and real, and it is refreshing with all the false “reality” shows out there❤.
What a good job they did on the clock casing 😁
Absolutely fantastic ❤❤❤
Nick and Matt have done an amazing job of restoring your beautiful clock!
They absolutely did. Love it ❤❤❤
I probably would have tried Christmas ornament hooks to fish the wire out of that 90' turn. That clock restoration! Wonderful!
See, that didn’t occur to me. 😮😂😮. Thank you so much. We love the amazing work the two gentlemen did. Hugs from Colombe ❤❤
Stunning light fixtures!!! 🥰🎶🙏❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏰🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
❤😊❤. Thank you so very much 🥰❤️🙏🏻⭐️😘
What a lovely couple. God bless you and yours. Love, jenwhite, ❤😊❤
Nick and Matt did a spectacular job restoring that clock. The beautiful details really shine 😍😘
They absolutely did and it was wonderful to watch them work when I took a break from plastering. Nick and Matt are amazing ❤❤❤. Hugs
Those gentlemen did a wonderful job on the clock! And that light fixture is coming together! Love you guys! You are an amazing couple! ❤❤
Hugs Carla. They did a fantastic job with the clock. The light fixture will be splendid when you see it up, I promise. ❤❤❤ love from Colombe and thank you so much
The chandelier for the petit salon is magnificent. Matt and Nick did a superb job on the tall clock. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much. The chandelier is such a gem. And Nick and Matt are so talented. We adore them. Hugs ❤
The clock is just so……!!!!! Job well done. Loving the light fixture for the petit salon. Ceiling disk is just perfect.
Thank you very much Patricia. The clock looks fantastic. Can’t wait to see the light up. Disk and plater work too. So many improvements. We love it. ❤❤❤
The intricate details in that chandelier are so beautiful and worth all your effort, as was the clock!!
Thank you Kathy. We are really happy that the chandelier works again. Hurrah. And that clock….. it was a good week. Hugs from Colombe ❤❤
your customers have summed up what interests those who look at you, it is the passion that drives you both in the design and in the choice of your furniture.. and of course the simplicity of your words and your welcome.. Thank you for everything that
Thank you Dominique. They did a wonderful job. We are glad that our passion shows and that we make viewers like you welcome. Highly appreciated feedback. Friendship from Colombe ❤
Lovely vlog as always, and great to meet Matt and Nick. Whoever comes to stay will no doubt want to help you lovely guys in whatever way they can, I would. Would be great to roll up the sleeves and do anything needed. Even if its only pulling up weeds! See you both Wednesday 🙋♀️
Hugs darling Linda. Matt and Nick……. How wonderful are they! We are blessed with amazingly engaged viewers and patrons. Love from us ❤❤❤
Patrick: Thanks for reaching out to my chain Them to the chateau remark. The moment that I saw the work they accomplished on the clock, I thought of you and your disdain for plastering. Grab 'em while their hot is my motto. Love watching you guys and the work involved in maintaining this wonderful edifice. My best regards to both of my Chicago guys. I know there will be more words of wisdom from this fertile, but slightly warped brain.
Donald
Beautiful new lighting, etc. ♥️
Great job on the furniture restoration. 👍
Love the re-awakening of the beautiful antiques.🫶🇨🇦
Thank you Lori. It is amazing to see things come back to life. Hugs ❤❤❤
The clock and light are beautiful now. I can't wait to see what you do with the room! 😊
Thank you so much. Looking forward to the progress in the salon. 😊😊😊
Thank you Matt and Nick for expressing what many of us feel. (And for the beautiful job on the clock!) I hope you have fun in Nice! I think the chandelier will be perfect. "Enjoy" the plastering, Patrick! LOL!
Thank you Larry. That is so sweet. They were a joy to have at the chateau and amazing to watch while they worked with an amazing determination and focus. Very knowledgeable about antiques too. We were sad to see them leave but the Cote D’Azure…. Absolutely will enjoy every moment plastering. 😂😂😂. Love from us my friend. 😊❤😊
Le lustre pour le petit salon est vraiment SUPERBE ! Bravo à Tony pour la réparation, et à Patrick pour le câblage, le nettoyage et le remontage. Très bon choix à vous deux pour l'avoir mis dans le petit salon. Bravo à Matt et Nick pour avoir rendu à cette vénérable horloge sa splendeur d'antan...
Amitiés à tous les deux.
Salût Éric. Thank you so much indeed. How wonderful to read your feedback. Le lustre est vraiment joli. L’horloge est magnifique. Hugs and friendship from Colombe 😊😊😊
What a lovely lamp. Well done! The clock turned out spectacularly. You always have the best guests 😊
Beautiful restoration work to the clock - lovingly carried out too by your two patrons. Thank you for sharing from Australia.
Glad to see the clock case wasn't stripped but just cleaned and fed and waxed. How beautiful it turned out!
Hi Albert. Indeed, the gunk and bird poop as well as the grime of 80 years in a barn was carefully removed and the nourished and polished with natural waxes….. the case smells wonderful. 😮😊😂. This was a true Cinderella story. Hugs😊
Honestly, your division of tasks related to your individual skills is a huge credit to the success of your partnership, and of the renovation of your Chateau.
I simply love to watch you both at what you are so clearly good at. Love Love Love.
Thank you! 💕
Good morning Andrea. Thank you so much. What a lovely comment! I believe you are spot on. Love your comment. ❤❤❤
Nick and Matt did a fantastic job on the clock. What a wonderful thing to do for both you and for themselves. It will always bring back lovely memories every time they spot it in a video. The ceiling medallion is a stunner; so is the chandelier! What a great glimpse into your vision for the room. Love the paint samples on the wall, too. Thinking a French blue? Big hugs!❤️
We previously did a reveal of the paint and paper for the petit salon. It is primarily a green room. Thanks!
@@JourneytotheChateau ugh, how did I forget that?🤪
What a wonderful job Matt and Nick did with the clock it's beautiful 😍,loved the chandelier Patrick and Stuart the music once again was divine can't wait for the renovation in the petite salon I am looking forward to it take care and see you both next time 💕🌼🤗
Dear Carole. Thank you so much 😊😊😊😊. The clock is gorgeous again after 100 years of neglect. How fantastic. Love from Colombe ❤❤❤
Have never seen this room before ! Can’t wait to see the progress❤The size of the room is lovely - perfect for a cozy place to spend a few hours. Grandfather clocks are wonderful! I have 2 ! Love to think about the stories they could tell watching over their families homes over generations ❤❤❤So enjoy having you two and the beauty you create as part of my life😊
Gosh Nancy, that is such a sweet comment. Indeed, grandfather clocks are amazing. They watched over so much history. The petit salon is lovely and intimate. Looking forward to getting it re plastered. We are blessed to have you watching our crazy journey. Hugs ❤❤❤
Well done Matt and Nick!
Awww, those two are precious ! Just like ya'll ❤❤ The clock turned out so beautiful 😍 LOVE & HUGS As always, Oklahoma
Thank you gorgeous. They are amazing guys. That clock….. who knew? Love it. Love and hugs from Colombe ❤❤❤
Great choice of lighting for starting off the renovation of the petit salon. The entryway clock came out great.
So happy to be a part of the magic @Journey To The Chateau!!
❤❤❤❤. We are very thankful.
Please come back as the eye candy is much appreciated
@@EthanLomas I agree
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 I know as I laughed for the very same reason as you in the video LOL
Well done, Matt & Mick! That will be a lasting memory of your visit. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Patrick - the light fixture for the petit salon is very handsome. More proof that not every chandelier needs a hundred crystals to look good!
Matt and Nick are amazing gentlemen. And indeed, they left a memory behind. How Devine. It is true, not every light needs to be dripping with crystals. This one is very special. Love from Colombe ❤
Sorry for calling you "Mick", Nick [!]@patrickjourneytothechateau9452
Clock looks amazing!
All around beautiful video I really enjoyed the workmanship of the two guest. The chandelier looks beautiful, yes the ceiling disk is perfect. Good choice. Patrick please don’t get offended, but I like when you pull your hair back it just shows your lovely face. Both of you have a great personality. Until your next video.
Hi there. Thank you so much. The two gentlemen did such a fantastic job. What talent. Glad you like the chandelier and the ceiling rose. I mostly keep my hair back. And thank you for the lovely compliment ❤❤❤. Hugs
you beat us , our ceiling roses still standing in the hallway 😆 lovely ceiling rose guys x Bradley loves grandfathers clocks , i got him one and he got his eye on another one , he would just collect them 🤣 lol , much love Yx
Hello sweet man. I have to admit that this rose sat in a box for 9 months……. So I believe you will still beat us! 😂😊😂. We have 2 working tall clocks and one that is bust 😮😮😮. We will use it as decoration in a gîte. 😊. We totally share Bradley’s passion. ❤❤❤. Love you you two from Colombe ❤❤
Matt a Nick mají úplnou pravdu žijete život o kterém se nám ostatním může jen zdát. Také je pravda že se musí sejít skvělý zámek a dva tak naprosto úžasní kluci jako jste vy dva Patrick a Stuart aby ta chemie mohla fungovat. Miluji vaši práci i to jaký máte styl a vaše videa. Mimochodem Matt a Nick odvedli úžasnou práci na těch hodinách.
Thank you so much Irena. Matt and Nick did such an amazing job. When they talked about Colombe, it made us realise that we do live in a different world. We are grateful for your wonderful comment. And we are humbled by your kind words. Love from Colombe ❤❤
What lovely fellas. The clock looks amazing.
That’s are really amazing young men. I smile every time I look at the clock now 😊😊😊
The clock turned out beautifully!
The clock❤ night and day well done ❤ the medallion is gorgeous what an upgrade !❤❤❤
Thank you so much. Both are wonderful results. We are happy ❤❤
I absolutely love the rose medallion you chose for the petite salon. Great episode!
As always, Stuart, thank you for the lovely music!! Such an unusual & exquisitely beautiful chandelier for the Breakfast Room, Patrick & Stuart!! I don't think I have seen another like it anywhere. What a find!! It was such a treat to see the transformation of the Hall clock Matt & Nick restored!! The result was breathtaking!! Great job guys!! 🇺🇸
Hugs and thank you Jane. The chandelier is quite unique. It was the first like this we have even seen and since it was broken, it was a steal. We are so happy to have the clock being such a stunner now thanks to Matt and Nick. Thank you for a wonderful comment. ❤❤❤
In our hearts we all are partners in your journey
Thank you so much. That is so very sweet. Love from Colombe ❤❤❤
What lovely bguys Matt and Nick are the clock looks magnificent looking forward to seeing what you do with the petite salon 😊
They are wonderful guys and what a great project. The clock looks fantastic. I am glad we started another room! Hugs from Colombe ❤
Nice to have people who don't just sit down during their holidays but also give a helping hand. The clock turned out very nice guys. Thank you.
That is so true. They warned us that they wanted a project. And they exceeded any expectations we could possibly have had. 😊😊😊 Hugs and a happy weekend ❤❤❤
Such a gorgeous clock!❤Wow, so fabulous and beautifully done 😊😊😊😊😊🎉❤
Matt and Nick did a phenomenal job. We feel truly blessed. ❤❤❤
Wonderful job on the old clock. We are enjoying France. More rain than we expected😳
The clock looks fantastic. Indeed, way more rain than any of our neighbours have ever seen. Enjoy regardless❤❤❤
The clock looks beautiful ❤️ what a transformation. Love the chandelier 💖
Can't wait for the petit salon transformation.
Thank you Amy. We are so glad that the chandelier works and looks so elegant. Looking forward to seeing the salon finished. Hugs from Colombe ❤
Great restoration of the grandfather clock guys, must of been very rewarding to give it back its grandeur ❤
Thank you Paula. The clock is fantastic. The guys had fun with the restoration and they are so talented. Hugs ❤
The grandfather clock looks beautiful surprising what polish and feed can do
The clock looks fantastic, absolutely gorgeous well done.👏🏻🥂❤️
Thank you so much. We are grateful to the guys for the amazing work they did ❤❤❤
The clock is outstanding, what a joy to have such talented patrons!
Thank you Terry. We couldn’t agree with you more ❤❤❤
My goodness, you are so talented. I just love watching all your restoring of clocks, chandeliers etc…. You don’t just buy everything in perfect condition, so you therefore have a wider selection to choose from. Other people wouldn’t touch these!
Hello Lyn. Thank you so much. We love to give new life to things that other people wouldn’t want to look at (also goes for animals) 😮. You are 100% right, we have a much larger selection. Hugs and kisses ❤❤❤
The clock looks so much better after all the hard work they did. (I forgot about that other bedroom though. 😂) Thank you for another sweet video! ❤
The clock now makes such a statement in the hall. They are amazing patrons and friends. Ohhhhhh. That bedroom. I ignore it when I walk through. That’s a winter project. 😮. Glad you liked the episode. ❤❤❤
The clock restoration is beautiful, well done. The chandelier is a beauty also, can’t wait to see more.
Cheers from Kansas😎
Thank you very much indeed. The clock is stunning. So glad we could save the chandelier. Hugs from Colombe ❤
Bravo my loves. I would give you a hand but clearly you can make your own. Jobs well done 👏
Well done guests - the clock looks fabulous. Exciting for your to start on the Petit Salon and the decoration on chandalier & unusual lampshades is really interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much. The chandelier is quite stunning. And Matt and Nick….. how fantastic. Hugs ❤
