    • @kindlydude
      @kindlydude 6 місяців тому +1

      SO IMPORTANT!!! ...I have a chinoiserie black lacquer low coffee table similar to Stephanies that I keep covered in beveled glass because of its artistic/craftmanship value ...but it is slightly lower than Stephanie's and somewhat wider (almost like a low-style eating table) ... and with white iridescent (w/ pink & blue highlights) mother-of-pearl inlay of a male & a female peacock(s) and flowers & stylized framing or edging. It is very detailed & lovely. I've told my husband to send it to Stephanie if I pass before him. I hope that is a long time away!! 🦚💗🦚

    @rossfamily1184 6 місяців тому +1

    You should get a Ring doorbell or camera on the gate that will also alert Natty that visitors have come through the gate. I was quite against getting a ring doorbell for our house (but we saw a good deal on Amazon black friday) but it has actually been a godsend and alerted us to a man coming to our door with a toolbox at 2am. We are sure that he was going to pick our lock but when he saw the ring camera and sign saying that he was on camera, he swore and literally rang back down our driveway. I think it stopped him breaking into our home. I also love that it detects movement so we always know when anyone is coming to our door, plus being able to talk to deliveries through the doorbells when we are away from home. Xxx

    That beautiful perfume bottle is not only very pretty! I was reminded of when you and Amaury were talking about the huge bottles of Eau de toilette your Mom or Aunt would buy at the grocery store. I think you bought the perfect lovely bottle for it.

    • @kindlydude
      @kindlydude 6 місяців тому +1

      It looked like an artisan piece and the turquoise color was stunning. Btw if Nattie is happy behind the divan then we should all be happy. She wants to see who is coming through the gate so that specific spot is her ideal perch. Also, I was thinking her printer could go on a fancy coffee cart on wheels perhaps made of brass/antique. That way it could be wheeled out of the way quickly when the piano bench needed to be in place for a performance.

    I absolutely love old books they just are not made like that anymore just to look into an old book knowing others have enjoyed it pleased me. In England we have old phone boxes that are now filled with books and I get a lot of my books in these and when finished I take most back. I found an old Alice through the looking glass and it's now on my bookcase with other old books. I also use some of the books in my art work. One person's rubbish is another person's treasure 😊
    I also collect old french magazines which are a joy to copy from in my artwork. I really enjoyed this episode and miss the french shops so Thank you Stephanie 😊

    Philip and Marie were in their elements organising the table and cooking. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻
    Lancelot was super happy with his new friend.
    And Nati looks super happy in her new office area. Philip has such a talent for room setting as well as table setting.

    Omg am I possibly that someone? I know I made thst comment but it was a long time ago! Regardless I think it's the bees knees that you've decided to get in touch with other Châtelaines when there's lovely things that need rehoming! And SO great to see you all together hunting for treasures, eating and having a good time. I'm thrilled to see little Lancelot find a best friend of his species! It's so important dogs have other pupps to relate to, and although I'm sure Molly does care more than she lets on, Baudelaire is just that bestie he really needed to look forward to playing with again 💕 I'm shocked, 46 € for all those Luneville plates?! My mum has that exact set, with the big pink tulips, it makes me so nostalgic. I'm sure she payed alot more than that once upon a time in France. I think Natties strategy for her desk is superb. And the daybed in there brightened up the room. I didn't know you've gotten bees now at Lalande! That's wonderful! I always had a secret dream of keeping bees one day, as I enjoyed going with an older relative to tend them and collect honey many moons ago.
    It's always great to contribute to healthy bee populations and pollination, although I know it involves alot of know how and very careful care. It makes me so very angry that some of the vile American insecticides previously banned have now been given the green light in Europe. I'm very worried for the bees and birds. If you can, please sign the petitions of protest against this circulating social media atm. It can make a difference (it's happened before!)
    Big love to all of you! ❤

      I LOVE the wallpaper just as it is!! Even the pale gold background ...I think it all blends together beautifully & if the background is too stark white it won't blend with the colors in a subtle manner.

    Steph, Philip and chateau friends, you all should have a progressive stay week. Book a certain amount of people who stay at one chateau for a couple of days then move to the next chateau to stay etc. that would be a fun week to visit each of the chateaux.
    What fun to have so many friends come stay. Thanks for the vlog.

      I was thinking they could pitch the "progressive stay" plan to guests/travelers who want to stay at different chateaus as a way of traveling around France as tourists to see more of the country than the typical tourist(s). Perhaps these special guests who stayed at (at least) three chateaus would get a discount of some sort. Unless they are completely booked up all season ...this may be a way of getting even more customers.

    Marie IS amazing! She must be physically and mentally exhausted by the end of the day. Beautiful meals, beautiful presentations. So much fun seeing all of you together. This was such a joy to watch. Thank you Stephanie and company!

    A really lovely vlog, seeing you all together. Happy dogs playing and grown ups too. Marie is doing so well with producing beautiful and delicious meals. Particularly as she’s doing it alone. Such thoughtful and perfectly chosen gifts too.

      She works so hard! I bet she's exhausted by the end of the day when there guests and she does lunch and dinner. Always so extravagant!

    What a fantastic idea to ask other chateau owners over for the weekend for food, shopping and lovely meals. Great table decorating as usual and amazing looking food.
