I’m so sorry to hear about Laffy.. my heart is bleeding for you and with you, I lost my darling Freddy 6 months ago and I still feel very broken.. some days I can laugh about him and his adorable silly ways and some days I cry .. but every single day I miss him.. take care of yourselves and go gently 🐶🕯️🙏🏼
Our hearts go out to you and your experience with loss. You understand the pain. Pure love. Our pain represents the love, deep connection and care we had for our pet children. May you and Freddy meet again, somehow….🙏
Im so sorry for your loss of dear Laffy 🙏🏻 I have not seen this episode until now and I just wanted you both to know that I started crying and I feel the same way… the animals are our babies and when we lost our dogs, Rasmus, Lillan, Ruff …its so heartbrokening 😢 but my belief is that we all will meet again in Heaven someday 🙏🏻❤️🐾 Love, Camilla
I am so sorry for your loss of sweet Laffy and know how deeply it hurts to lose a little furry soul mate! Lots of loving thoughts and light! Au revoir Lafayette 🖤
I always looked forward to Mister Laffy in your videos! My heart is broken, he made me smile so many times. I'm so sorry for your lost, Jennifer & Justin. I adore your decorating and moving things around. It makes life so much more interesting.
I’m sorry for your loss of Laffy. I loved seeing him in your videos and Instagram pictures, he looked like he was such a sweet dog. I could see how much you both love him.
Oh no, so sad news. He was such a sweet dog. We have had several pets and they all left a hole in my heart when they died. I still think of them. They were loved and they loved us. It is hard when they leave us. A big hug for the two of you. Take care.
Justin and Jeni, I’m so very sorry to hear of your loss. I was flooded with memories of when I lost my dog, my best friend, my companion. The one that loved me unconditionally. The tears and sadness took awhile but they eventually turned to the best of memories. There are so many of us out here that you don’t know, but we have been following your journey. We laugh with you and are inspired by you and we also share in your pain. I hope all of our thoughts and comments bring you some comfort. Blessings to you both..
I like your style. I have a century-old cottage that I styled with Scandinavian design furniture, and some Native American accessories, such as, blankets, rugs, and pottery. I share your love for pottery, old and new. So sorry for your loss of your buddy. I have two senior dogs, so each day is especially precious with them. Au revoir.
Your introduction to this vlog was amazing! The scenery and skies were dramatic. I am sorry that you lost Laffy. It is very difficult losing a pet. I am sure in time you will have another pet. Thank you for sharing. 💕
Thank you so much for appreciating the scenery! Means a lot as I try discovering / experimenting with videography. It has has been very difficult. This pain is unreal.
This tribute to Laffy is a beautiful reminder of his life, well lived. Full of love, adventure, and fun. No doubt you will miss him. Sending love from Japan. ~ Mandy
I’m so sorry about the loss of your fur baby Laffy!🐾 I loved seeing him in your videos. I love your cozy gite! What about putting the little sofa at the bottom of the bed? It might be nice so you can still see the fireplace and outside too. Just a thought I had while you were rearranging the furniture.🤍
So sorry you lost your beloved Laffy. He was born the same year as one of our dogs who died 2 yrs ago. Our dogs are definitely part of our family and I know the loss and pain you must be experiencing. It sounded very sudden. Your gite looks beautiful. I love the large mirror.
They really are our family and part of our daily life and when they leave us, our days can seem a bit empty. I loved that little soul so much and I’m sure you did yours. I’m sorry you lost yours…way too soon.
I was so sorry to hear about Laffys passing. Its so hard to lose a pet They are like children to us. Another couple on youtube that I watch lost one of their fur babies on the 2nd I believe. Their channel is Journey to the chateau and names Patric and Stuart. Their baby was Colin. Again so sorry, Hugs from Kansas City USA❤❤❤ AND 🙏😥
We love your channel very much and are so shocked to hear that Laffy is in heaven now. We know how that feels loosing such an Angel! We wish you a lot of strength en courage! Love from the Netherlands!
Oh so sorry about Laffy. You were both terrific loving parents to your fur baby! The room is so very pretty. However, not sure very practical, what happens when red wine gets spilled? I would reconsider white on a couch. Also a comfy foot stool, lamps for reading and nightstands would be a consideration. Most guests need a nightstand, and a place to put your luggage. I seldom put clothes in a dresser. I prefer to leave them in the suitcase, unless I am hanging them. I did not see any hooks for jackets, hats, purses, totes. A rug would be nice too. Lovely video.
I have only just found you so lots of catching up to do - so sorry to hear of your dog I know this pain hugs to you ❤ the cottage looks just stunning ❤
So so sorry to hear the news about sweet Laffy. This is the second channel that I follow that has lost a loved pet in tragic circumstances in the last month (Chopper the Labrador at La Moulin Roche). Try to take comfort in the fact that he was hugely loved & had a great life with you. I have gone through the same loss 6 times now & it never gets any easier. Maybe one day you will be able to open your heart to a rescue dog in France as there are so many that need homes❤️ Can I offer a few suggestions about the gite? As someone who has stayed in quite a few, I find that matching night stands either side of the bed are almost essential. You need a lamp for reading & somewhere to put a book, glass of water, glasses etc. although I love your picture gallery above the fireplace, have you thought about doing a similar thing with gold framed mirrors? You have some small ones on the wall which look somewhat ‘bitty’ & lost but if you grouped them all together above the fire (including the long one on the left hand of the fireplace) it would be much more dramatic. Otherwise it is a beautiful tranquil space to stay in.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Esp looking at him happy on this video or is this another dog. I’m new to the channel. Yet I’m so sorry I know all to well how it feels . 😍🥰😘🙏🏽
@@Frenchcountryfriends yes my beautiful sister in Christ I think you should get another pup 🐶. I had to leave and take care of some business now I’m back watching your brocant shopping. Ohhh what I wouldn’t do to live in France. By the way je suis Markell. Merci beaucoup for these videos.
Put sofa underneath the window on one side put a accent, chair there where you have the small mirror next to the sofa but a sofa table there or a desk and then you have the wall on the other side free so can add more furniture too like a hutch bookshelf, 😊
And then add the wall art to the opposite side of the fireplace above the dresser so on the other side of the desk there would be wall art, so it matches on both sides 😊
All wonderful advice thank you! A mirror above the mantle place, two balancing painting on each side of the wall and a sort of desk or round table for eating would be ideal on the blank wall. Also, those chairs have got to go! 💕
Dear Ones, so very shocked saddened for your loss of Laffy. He charmed us all. Hes so cute. He was just playing fetch earlier while watching you spruce up the gite. It seems very sudden. Had he been ill? Ive rescued 9 dogs in 15 yrs. All but 3 of them were very young. 6 of them have passed in my arms at the vet after suffering long illnesses in less than 4 years. Each one different from the other. 2 were sisters i hand raised from 15 Oz. Theyre all like children to me. Nala had to go to her peace May 12. Followed by Nova on September 26. This has been a year of loss for many of us. Heartbroken. May they come back to us again. Pray they find us again. Love. R.
I can’t imagine the grief in such a short amount of time. Thank you for opening your home to them. 💕 More about Laffy passing in the description box. “May they come back to us.” I love that.
Very sad to hear of Laffy passing away. Time is a great healer Jenny and Justin. The light in the gite is beautiful. If you rent out for the winter? Why not have the bed opposite the fire so they look at the lit fire, the mirror on what was the bed head wall, and settee where it is now should that work?
Thank you for your kind message. 🫶 I appreciate the suggestions, always. I feel that the bed would feel like an “energy block” into the entrance of the room and also it would be too close to the door and it’s draft. 😞 The view to the fireplace is still visible from the bed. I hope you are well and your hunts are successful!
Love your room , the large gilded mirror especially ❤ two things I would change from a styling point of view , is I would group all the candle sticks together to one side in different height orientation , to one side and placing the pictures to the other side , again in different size orientation. And the outdoor chair’s defiantly should go outside where they belong. They look awkward , cluttering the space and not needed in that room ! In the far corner , I would place an antique or vintage chair or even another chest of draws making the space so-metrical to the fireplace 😊I would like to also offer my deepest condolences for the loss of your beautiful boy Laffy! I know first hand how sad it is to lose a beloved pet, that is part of your family. May all the beautiful memories bring you joy and peace 🙏🥰
I am so sorry for your loss of beautiful Laffy. Hexhad a wonderful life and was we'll loved by you both. It was a lovely tribute to him. ❤❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. Tears reading your story. Poor little mite.

Yes to the chairs and try the sofa in front of the fireplace. It doesn’t have to be perfectly in front. It’s all beautiful!
Thank you for sharing your ideas Jane. 🫶
I’m so sorry about Laffy. I’ll miss seeing him with you both.
I am so sorry. I have a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. I can’t imagine your pain. Thinking about you at this difficult time.
Thank you for sharing your tenderness with us, means a lot.
Just gorgeous!
Justin and Jenny I am so sorry to hear about Laffy. We will all miss him.❤
So sorry to hear about your baby laffy I know how heard it is to lose a pet. That is a member of the family. Sorry for your loss. 😢
He was! I wish it weren’t so hard but it’s getting easier now…I’m so happy he’s lived a wonderful life.
17:46, the house on the painting looks Dutch. This, because it has a tuitgevel/tuit façade. 1620 - 1720. I am Dutch.
I think you’re right!

Thank you for relating. Yes that was Laffy who passed later that afternoon. We do hope to adopt another pup 🐶 maybe next year…

Omg Jenny and Justin I am heartbroken for you both..poor wee Laffy take care of yourselves my cats passed many years ago I still miss them 💔
I still can’t believe he’s gone. My heart goes to you, you obviously adored your cats and loved them greatly. Thank you for your message David.
Complimenti!Bellissimo!Siete meravigliosi!

At the end of the bed put a bench there for storage add a mirror above the fireplace to bring more light and make the room look larger
The wall art place it above the desk over there by the sofa

Sorry for your loss.
I think you need bedside cabinets in your rental.
Have you watched "The Hotel Inspector" UK TV?
I think she would agree with me.
Thank you! Yes, I agree with you! Just haven’t found the “ones” yet. I place rustic stools on both sides when we actually have bookings.

So sad and sorry Laffy has passed away. ❤
Rest his soul🙏🐾🐶

He was a sweet boy😢
He really was! Thank you!

We appreciate all the love! Thank you! 💕
I'm so sorry.
We really appreciate your condolences. Thank you.

Sorry but that bed looks uncomfortable especially for older couples.
It could be bigger. Agreed but it’s quite comfortable especially now with the foam topper. In time and as budget allows…
