OMG! Ollie looks so much better since being in Lalande with Stephanie. He is actually smiling & much chirpier. He’s getting back to painting. Stephanie is bringing the best in him. That’s what he needs to bring back the old Ollie that we were so used to.
I don't know what all transpired since Ollie stopped vlogging, but he looked a fright in Rome. I'm so glad that Stephanie came to his rescue. He looks much improved since then. He's such a gentle soul, I just hate to see him in distress.
@karennoble3795 Yes, I knew that look, too. I'm glad that so many of Stephanie's subscribers feel the same way about him. Many of us have felt that way at some point during our lives. It's painful to watch.
Seeing Ollie smile again and painting lightens the heart. Thank you for taking such good care of him, Steph. A very happy birthday to Molly. Love to all.
Top pro tip for Chris, who is currently working on the plaster in the Marquis' apartment, and doing a beautiful job! If you take the butt of a white candle and apply it to the top rail, avoiding the plaster, and also rub it over the inside of the top of your box mould, where it runs along the rail, as you would with a wooden dresser drawer, it will run smoothly and you won't get the jerking that you have now. This will eliminate the start-stop when you pull it towards you and you'll have a much smoother finish. Please pass this suggestion on to him. Thanks! And happy birthday to Mollie!
Happy Birthday to Molly! She's adorable. All the dogs are adorable. So glad to see Oliver painting again. He's such a great artist. And Michael Petherick is always laughing, he's such fun to be around.
PLEASE keep Ollie there with you guys at LaLande for as long as possible. He looks a different person in this video. Healthier and SMILING! Being with his friends there, those who truly care about him, has made a world of difference ❤
Happy 10th Birthday, Molly. You don't look a day over 7 or 8 years! You're such a sweet girl, so patient with Galahad & now, Coco. Blessings to you & many, many more birthdays to come!! 🇺🇸
Pray Camellia is getting a much needed breather during this short break, Olly’s journey is a long one for all the family. Sending love and prayers to all the family and supporting friends.🙏❤️
Oliver is so talented. Just the preliminary sketch is enchanting. Great to see him back at work - he seems to be in his happy place. And THAT is so deserved.
I’d say that dressing a nude salad and Ollie dressing a nude canvas with colorful brush strokes and artistic finesse have a certain commonality of experience. One tastes good and the other is in good taste.
I am excited that Amaury gets to really dive into the wood work and rebuilding of room's he has been so excited to do. Seeing a master craftsman at work will be incredible! I love watching, and feeling as if participating ( through watching the videos) in life in France and traveling around with you, the learning about different cultures and their lives lived a long time ago. The history of our lives- wherever we live- is a shared history in the end. I believe that, because we really are on this 1 planet together. That saying " the more you know " 😊 I love seeing daily life in the Chateau, in the gardens, going to the thrift stores, looking up close , or through windows at all the lovely things. I really am so grateful that you share so much with us! I feel very lucky to share in the magic that you have created! I am grateful to you and Philip and the Lalande family! You have really brought so much joy into my life. With sincere gratitude and respect, Audri
Lovely to Ollie painting again, and he's clearly happy about it as well! Lalande is good for the soul, and there's a delightful group of people around your table who can attest to that!
Where do I donate to the lake... Oh Ollie, so sorry to see you struggling out of darkness. Seeing you painting again is heart lifting. Being around Stephanie, Marie, and Philip is helping surely. Sending good thoughts and prayers.
Thrilled to hear you start talking about the lake again!! So excited to see that come back. Chris is quite the craftsman. I had no idea how much work went into that kind of moulding. Happy, happy birthday Mollie!🥳 So happy to see Ollie looking so much better and painting happy paintings again. Even his under paintings are beautiful. As always, I love the fun, banter and teasing you all have with each other. And as always, Marie and her cooking always makes my mouth water. So fun seeing this group together. Love from Mary in Southern California 💗
Great to see so much activity in all the recent videos and Oliver is definitely enjoying being at the Chateau, so lovely to see the power of friendship in action. 🇦🇺💕
Ollie is such a kind and talented man. It is good to see him at the chateau once again back at his art. His smile is wonderful. Thank you Stephanie for being such a good friend. Happy birthday to dear Molly too. Glad to see the talented plasterer at work as well as the demolition duo.
So many good feeling from this video, Ollie smiling and painting, Michael Peterick is there, the lake is coming soon, reno is going well as well as the wonderful plastering job, and especially celebrating Molly's birthday.
How wonderful to see Ollie smiling, painting and sparkling! Yay! Happy Birthday to Mollie….divine party……..a lesson in how to enjoy every moment of every day and to celebrate being alive! Love to you all. ❤
Happy Birthday Molly! She is such a sweet girl. Ollie's dog is adorable. And of course Galahad is very handsome. A very nice birthday party. It is getting exciting watching the destruction of two rooms and then maybe some progress in the Grand Salon! I was fascinated with the plaster work. What a job he's taken on! Ollie's paintings already look amazing. I hope we get to see the progress as he goes along.
very appreciative of Chris' work ethic of doing it the old world way. He could have ordered some molded foam and slapped it up there but he is holding true to the aesthetic of this old place. Great effort, Chris!!
So nice to see Oliver come alive. Life can throw you shit balls, but true unconditional friends are the hand that reaches down and pulls you out. Looking forward to seeing Oliver shine again.
While I thoroughly enjoy watching all of the château improvements I am particularly looking forward to the lake being returned. It will transform the views and make LaLande look even more magical than it already does.
I am so happy to see Oliver happy like this. It is so healing to be amongst friends and loved ones ❤️❤️❤️🙏 I LOVE his painting of Isabel 😍🙌 Happy birthday sweet Molly 🥳
I don't think there's a better place in the world other than Marie's kitchen. I'm amazed that she can get any work done. The renovations continue, the camaraderie is abundant and as you say, Stephanie, "All is well in the world." At least in your corner of the world; which is enough for any one person. Your corner of the world always makes our corner of the world just a little brighter. Thank you for that! You are a good person, Stephanie. Thank you for all you do.
Marie is Just Amazing , With all You in Her Kitchen all Day , I’m Surprised She is Still Calm , Ollie Sending Ton’s Of ❤️, Stay Until Your Strong, Hope Your Girls are In Touch 💕💕💕👌👌
As a fellow dog lover I appreciate the invitation to join in Molly's birthday celebration. I can imagine nuzzling that big beautiful greying face of hers. She is precious. All of the canine attendees appeared to be enjoying themselves as well as their human companions. I loved Michael's side-eye. Yes, Michael, we're all in on the joke.👍 ❤ from TX!
Happy Birthday to Molly for Ten years beauty. Ohh Ollie you are looking so much better, your painting is looking beautiful already. So nice to see Micheal still at LaLande and everyone in good cheer. That room Amaury and Philip are working on is going to be lovely when complete. Looking forward to the news on the lake too. Love to all and the cutest dogs in the world 🌍 🌹💕☮️🎹🥂🍾
Oh the life you live Stephanie! Surrounded by beautiful people and beautiful things! Take time everyday to say a prayer of thx in your very own chapel!
Ollie is so talented and I absolutely love his painting of mummy. He has colour back in his cheeks and looks happy. Molly's 10th birthday celebration was just adorable. ❤🙏🎨🖼🐕🧁
Ce ne sont pas des mitaines mais des guêtres, les mitaines c'est pour la protection des mains et les guêtres c'est pour la protection des pieds et chevilles
Happy 10th Birthday Molly! All the dogs are adorable. Love all the Paintings! That painting of your mom by Ollie is keep sake. Laland did his heart good. Great to hear about the Lake! Can't wait to see it looking beautiful again.
Hello, Stephanie!! It's so good to see Ollie engaged and smiling!! Lalande has worked its magic on him!! Love seeing all the doggies!! And I am very partial to Labrador Retrievers. Molly has the most beautiful face!! Happy Birthday Molly!! Chuck in Northern New England
Michael, I know it as a Half-zip golf pullover. I've been obsessed with them, too. I have them in fleece and knit and in blends of cotton, silk, Merino wool, and cashmere. I live in Texas, so I can only wear them from fall through spring.❤

@@rayn8740 My heart went out to him. ❤ I know that look he had. If you know, you know. ❤ So glad to see him thriving.
@karennoble3795 Yes, I knew that look, too. I'm glad that so many of Stephanie's subscribers feel the same way about him. Many of us have felt that way at some point during our lives. It's painful to watch.
So glad to see Ollie benig himself again! He has so much charm and has back his kind and beautiful smile❤
Chris is an old world artist. Wonderful to see Ollie smiling.
Love seeing Chris in action! He's so talented!
Same❤
That painting of your Mom by Ollie is so lovely. I had forgotten how talented he is at painting. It's a joy to see him back into it!
I totally agree!! I would love to see a painting of Marie done by him.
I love his style.
Seeing Ollie smile again and painting lightens the heart. Thank you for taking such good care of him, Steph. A very happy birthday to Molly. Love to all.
The change in Oliver since coming to LaLande has been remarkable. Great to see it!

Bar soap may work also.
The change in Ollie’s attitude since Lalande worked its magic is palpable. A bigger smile each day ❤
I believe Lalande is a healing place.
What happened?
Wonderful to see Ollie smiling a bit. Hope he’s on the mend.
Happy Birthday to Molly! She's adorable. All the dogs are adorable. So glad to see Oliver painting again. He's such a great artist. And Michael Petherick is always laughing, he's such fun to be around.
PLEASE keep Ollie there with you guys at LaLande for as long as possible. He looks a different person in this video. Healthier and SMILING! Being with his friends there, those who truly care about him, has made a world of difference ❤
He has a family and daughters that I’m sure miss their father!
@supremlyfoxylass unfortunately it doesn't seem like his wife or daughters are at their home anymore 😭
Thank you seems like people are ignoring his loving wife and family @@supremlyfoxylass
@ I don’t understand why?
@ how do you know that?
Happy 10th Birthday, Molly. You don't look a day over 7 or 8 years! You're such a sweet girl, so patient with Galahad & now, Coco. Blessings to you & many, many more birthdays to come!! 🇺🇸
Oliver is standing straight, not hunched over as if with despair. Good company, food and rest seem to help
Pray Camellia is getting a much needed breather during this short break, Olly’s journey is a long one for all the family. Sending love and prayers to all the family and supporting friends.🙏❤️
So nice to see Ollie looking more like himself. Hope he's well on his way to full recovery. ❤
What a terrific party Molly was given. These dogs are having the best loved life!❤
The fact that Ollie is painting again is such a good sign that his health is improving. Yay.
Olly is looking really good. Calm, relaxed, found his paints, smiling, chatting etc. Keep it up!!
Ollie is looking much better, good to see the twinkle in his eyes
He's lucky to have a great friend like you ❤
Seems like maybe a weight has been lifted...
Oliver is so talented. Just the preliminary sketch is enchanting. Great to see him back at work - he seems to be in his happy place. And THAT is so deserved.
I’d say that dressing a nude salad and Ollie dressing a nude canvas with colorful brush strokes and artistic finesse have a certain commonality of experience. One tastes good and the other is in good taste.
It seems Wilde is amongst us !
Oliver you look so happy and healthy
Good looking
I am excited that Amaury gets to really dive into the wood work and rebuilding of room's he has been so excited to do.

Ollie looks so much better than when you met him in Rome. Hoping he continues to improve!

Of the many years watching Chateau Diaries, this one is my favorite. Happy Birthday Molly!
Nattie and Amry are lucky to have one another! 2 power houses
Hang on did you say Ollie has just come back from his run ! You brushed over that little nugget ... he is such a treasure.
Cheering Ollie on from Canada....loving the improvements on the Chateau and that Michael...sure makes me smile
Stephanie you are good medicine-Ollie seems much improved wow!
Where do I donate to the lake...
Oh Ollie, so sorry to see you struggling out of darkness. Seeing you painting again is heart lifting. Being around Stephanie, Marie, and Philip is helping surely. Sending good thoughts and prayers.
The doggie birthday party was the cutest. Ollie looks great! So glad to see Michael still there, too. ❤
The view from the bedroom was breathtaking. Now if Ollie could capture and paint that. Wow.
How I love Ollies paintings. So happy to see the artist back with all of you.
Thrilled to hear you start talking about the lake again!! So excited to see that come back.
Chris is quite the craftsman. I had no idea how much work went into that kind of moulding.
Happy, happy birthday Mollie!🥳
So happy to see Ollie looking so much better and painting happy paintings again. Even his under paintings are beautiful.
As always, I love the fun, banter and teasing you all have with each other.
And as always, Marie and her cooking always makes my mouth water.

I love Dana’s ‘ Spats ‘ they’re amazing
Happy birthday to Molly! Ollie is looking much better xx
I love the plaster work! Wondering if Olie could do a mural over the fire place to mimic the wallpaper? ❤️
Lalande and Stephanie with the positivity that they emanate are doing miracles for Ollie. I’m so happy to see him smiling again . 🙏🙏❤️
Great to see so much activity in all the recent videos and Oliver is definitely enjoying being at the Chateau, so lovely to see the power of friendship in action. 🇦🇺💕

Happy Birthday Molly! It is so good to see Ollie painting. 🙂🇨🇦
Michael, I know it as a Half-zip golf pullover. I've been obsessed with them, too. I have them in fleece and knit and in blends of cotton, silk, Merino wool, and cashmere.
I live in Texas, so I can only wear them from fall through spring.❤
Ollie looks so much better! Sending him warm greetings and hope he continues to climb up hill.
