Here on my channel, I am renovating a 250 year old stone cottage on my property in Normandy, France. By using traditional, low-waste and off-grid methods, I'm aiming to keep the charm and character of this old building, and turn it into a furnished, finished home for family whilst keeping environmental impact as low as possible. There will also be content on living in France, visiting beautiful rural places, hunting for antiques, gardening and more!

It's a spit for turning meat over a fire and the hanging pins are to secure the meat so it does not spin or slip. You could cook a whole lamb, etc.
Effectivement c’est un accessoire d’un « tourne broche » il faut une sacrée cheminée pour celui ci! Et prévoir un énorme rôti pour une énorme tablée😅
Sean, it's a "yes" to render. You've tried cleaning the stones and they're still smoke blackened. Rendering will really make that area look so much tidier.
I know that Sam must be glad to finally have the living room window replaced! 😊
A grey render would look nice. The fireplace stones are so dark, putting a white render would be too much contrast. 😊 The brackets look great on the posts, I can't wait to see it finished with copper items!
I wouldn't flatten down or cut off the bottom of the brackets. I would use that sticking out part to hang drying herbs or flowers
I vote for rendering the inside of the fireplace. I find the dark burnt color of the stones gloomy. I liked the first bracket you tried.
I like rendering to brighten the room! You can’t go wrong whatsoever is selected.. it’s for rotating meat ! A spit! ❤
Brackets look great use the bottom of it to hang a lantern
Those brakets are perfect for the fireplace. Is that item you showed a fire spit?
The way that you set the brackets on the front of the fireplace will look Fantastic!
I agree with another viewer, grout with a darker color so it will blend
It's a spit for turning your piglet. Use the lower arm for another shelf. You are not walking under it, you will be bending over to tend the fire. My motto ( you can never have enough shelves).
Is that a spit--to roast a pig over the open fire? That's what the corkscrew handle made me think. I'm glad you put the brackets on the front to support a shelf. That makes more sense to me.
I think that you should leave the stones in the chimney as they are. They are dark but that is part of the history of the cottage. Also, the stove with a nice fire will cheer it up. Plus if you cover the ceiling beams then it the original chimney stones will be one of the few character pieces left in the cottage. 😊 Sam would probably be the best judge. I’d definitely go with what she says.🤔😄
no to the render, my first thought is it would look odd, dark grouting or the sandblasting as proposed by others would make more sense
I much prefer the natural stone look for the fireplace. If the darkness is an issue perhaps you could get it properly sandblasted clean? That would look fabulous.
I'm for sandblasting too. Can you hire a sandblaster?
A ce stade de rénovation , une sableuse ferait beaucoup de dégâts sur le reste du lieu et risquerait de salir les joints tout neufs par projection accidentelle (poussières et eau en quantité tout autour!)😮il faudrait une protection énorme. Plutôt le genre de travaux que l’on fait avant les finitions d’un chantier…
Brilliant Sam has her window done. On to the next project.
Sandblast the fireplace, then it will look like the fireplace from the most recent video on Sean's Universe, you admired that fireplace.
I think it’s expensive and they might look too new.
@@annekabrimhall1059 Do it with old sand.
Probably be expensive to call someone in to do it, he wants to do as much as possible himself.
Does sandblasting bring the stone back to original color that’s interesting
You are a much neater painter than me. I dare not even start without my "painting clothes" on and disposable gloves on my hands. I go through a lot of painter's tape, too. lol
The brackets look good on the front ❤
Used our hazel to build a compost bin too a couple of months back when I cut it back a bit, holding up so far!
I think the rendering on the inside wall is a good idea. It would really sharpen the look of the chimney.
Mais en même temps, ce serait plus authentique de le laisser dans son jus s’il n’y a pas de nécessité de renforcer les jointures.
Second set of brackets definitely more in keeping and look good on the front ❤
On the fireplace shelf you can hang your stockings for Santa!
Great idea Sean, to render the fireplace and leave a few features stones 👍
Would leave the bottom of the brackets as they are. That way, you can hang things on them.
Hey Sean! That metal rod…..it’s a fireplace rotisserie…..OLD SCHOOL!!!!
Hi Sean, I am not sure about rendering the stones I love them. The brackets on the front with the shelf looks perfect. Well, done on the window, I know Sam is happy. Love from N.Y.
Sean, I love the curved iron pieces for either side of the fire place. The mantel piece would look really lovely with some of your copper pieces hanging in the front. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
I concur…sandblast the stones, use a less bright grout, saw off the protruding end of the bracket.
I would just point the fireplace stones maybe with a bit darker mortar. I don’t know if a full render would look good. The brackets are very nice and look good. xx
Nothing any better than au Naturale! Maybe a fireplace arm and a cooking pot for authentic touch!!
I liked the fireplace wall in the chateau you visited on Sean’s Universe channel. The stones were not rendered and you could still see the blackened areas from the many fires. I think render would not look right , it would look too clean.
Make 2shelves with the brackets!
Smaller depth one below
Love the brackets, just curl the bottom piece up in u shape and hang a pot😊. Or maybe another small shelf could be attached on the bottom half as well. Perfect place for coffee cups. Just my thought. I enjoy you and love your place!
Keep the stone and timber showing everywhere you can!!
Your choice of second set of brackets is more in keeping for sure. Great idea to mount on front with a shelf!
Leave it as is. That's my vote!
I actually like that back section how it is. I do understand why you want to render it as you will have done so much work on the rest of the room. So my recommendation is to finish all the rendering that you already had planned and then decided if you still want to do the back wall of the fireplace.
It certainly is coming together very well so I have no doubt that you will make the right decision.
Its a grillpin for roasted a chicken or pig above the fire ...
You could leave that bottoms of the brackets as they are and hang some copper utensils from them.
The metal rod is for roasting meat over fire place so it can be turned.
Love what you did with the brackets. I loved the ornate one, too, but I think what you ended up demonstrating looks so natural with everything else.
That tool is a roasting spit rotisserie with a turning handle and prongs to hold the meat or chicken.
Yes to the render. Brighten the room up as limited light. Front shelf wrapping around the sides would be nice. Routered top and bottom with curved corners. Spit is lovely. My aunt painted the inside a dark green heritage emulsion and it looked fantastic with feature lighting and multifuel stove. With there 7ft wide Normandy fireplace they had the fireplace sandblasted and a new granite hearth cut and dressed to look more natural. It looked fantastic. The rear granite blocks were huge! Amazingly fit builders then!
I had brackets like that at my farm in Australia. We had 2 shelves. The top one was wide and a smaller one down the bottom
Your what's it is a roasting spit. Looks big enough for a goose or spring lamb. I think the fireplace will look very charming with the lime rendering. Beautiful workmanship Sean.
The grouting you did around the new window to your house looks splendid! You spent a lot of time fixing everything around the new window inside and outside. A person wouldn't have thought that all the tlc was needed, but watching your video, I know there is a great quantity of time needed to finish around a new window installed in an ancient home. I like your old brackets for the front of the fireplace and bending down that metal piece. The long metal thing is a spit to roast over the fire. Very nice looking and old. You make the decision on the rendering of the interior of the fireplace. It is your property, so no one should criticize what your decision is. I respect that. And yes, that chateau kitchen had such a magnificent collection of copper to cook with. Hello from Yakima, Washington, U.S.A
Hi
window looks great
Love the idea of rendering the fireplace like the wall… show some pretty stones… love it!
The gadget looks like a roasting spit! I agree with the idea of either using a dark grout between the stones in the fireplace or leaving it alone.
It's always a satisfaction to find a use for something we have for a long time! If you keep the bottom of the brackets curved it could be useful to hang things ( like a hook to dry clothes near the wood stove or for the gear for the fire...), it could work by just soften the bottom edge...
I personally would prefer a pointed back wall for the chimney like a sort of recall of the top (maybe with a little darker grout?)...
Instead of flattening down or cutting off the bottom of the brackets, leave them there to hang things on, like tools for the fire
I think rendering the fireplace is the right decision. There are more lovely features, like the wooden posts and the exposed stones, that will get more of the spotlight against a calmer background. Otherwise it may become a bit dark and overly busy. It'll also give a nice contrast with the fireplace itself. I think it'll be well balanced with the back of the fireplace rendered.
Hello Sean 👋
Ah So adorable the
Kittens love there daddy 🐾💝
An the Window looks brilliant 👌
My back yard needs a clean up and lots of trimming 😖🤦♀️
But I'm not getting back there
Until the rain stops....
Hi Sean. I agree with sand blasting the stones or using real dark grout. I like the stones showing. The brackets look good on the front of the fireplace. I would cut the bottom piece off. I believe it would look better. I enjoy your videos. Have a nice day.
Yes render the fireplace, it will improve the look.
I liked the 1st bracket, a bit fancy but I could see it working well there.
By having the shelf in front of the fireplace it blocked the walnut wood, which has a warm hue.
But it seems like you have a lot of copper pieces and a large front shelf would be just right.
Sean you seem to have " spring" in you, your smile is a little bigger and in your step as well is more upbeat.
Anyway I love your work and Sam must be enjoying her new window.
When is the next video😊
A partial mechanism for turning a roast in front of the fire.
We lime washed our old fireplace interior. It was just a big black hole. Added a little coffees grounds to make it more cream then white
I think you're right, the brackets are too grand. Ironwork would look more fitting, I suspect.
pipe: hairline crack on the bottom side likely from when it was made, eroded by the water flowing through??
we have the similar issue with the large copper pipe from our upstairs toilet - someone installed it upside-down (so the seam is on the bottom instead of on the top): will have to be replaced at some point, but my retired pipefitter da soldered the seam to give it a few more months or so to get us to a warmer month for replacement
The shelf in front looks wonderful! However, if you keep the hooks at the bottom of the brackets, you could use them to hang fireplace utensils. 😊
That “thing” is a
Rotisserie for cooking in the Fireplace
Yes in the front !! They look as
If they’ve always been there !.
Those iron brackets would look good on the front. Wide enough to put some copper or brass items on. Since you will be having a wood stove in the fireplace I think a render would make a good back ground to make the stove stand out. It will also match the render on the other walls and again add to the reflected light. That is an iron you do a roast on in the fire. Make a good pig on a spit barbecue in the garden for a big party.
I like the fancy ones. It will give a touch of luxury to the fire place.
The rustic ones also look nice. You could have some copper goodies.
You can also have some antique furniture there for a bit of luxury and a chandelier too in keeping with the style.
The long metal piece is to hold and turn meat over an open fire or coals….a rotisserie, or spit. The extra two prongs are to keep the meat from slipping as it’s turned.
It looks exactly like the rotisserie spit for my countertop toaster oven...lol just much smaller
Sean, it happened to me, I have a soft copper pipe to water and ice dispenser, I pulled it forward and bend the copper pipe, water all over the place, It's plastic now.
The fireplace is coming along, the brackets look good and the that little statue.
Yes it will get warmer soon and time to do the outside too, till next time thanks for sharing.
If it structurally needs it, render…if not.. don’t do it 😊
I would wait with the decision on the shelf until you've installed the ceiling, so you can see how much room you actually have
A spit roast thingy :) Like the shelf.
That stone carving looks modern. I think it's trying to look like a medieval church corbel.
But still good for the price.
That forged metal item is a very old, very rustic rotisserie.
No it's original for sure
I think the sword like item is a large skewer to take a huge joint to turn over the fire. Like a bristling rod. I’m loving the shelf brackets.
Sean, don’t Ben bracket bottom down bend it up and have 2 hooks to hang fire utensils or pots on.
At first I wasn't so sure about the render inside the fireplace and then you put up the brackets and shelf on the front, wow!! Now I think you definitely should render the inside. When you put down the tiles around the base as well, the fireplace is gonna be show piece.
Sean on those brackets that loop on the end is for hanging your flower pots. Or you could get a copper S hook and hang your copper goodies.
oh yes on the shelf, That finises it off really nice, on he side put some hangers for other items.
I like the brackets and shelf on the front of the fireplace.
Sean! It’s a rotisserie for the fireplace!
Use a stained grout to point between the stones. White grout is just too harsh.
I am team sandblast. The stones would look fabulous cleaned up. xx
They wouldn't get any better sandblasted it's soaked all the way into the stones
Love hearing the birds while your painting.
I missed your helpers little faces at the window.
Looks like a rotisserie for meet nice job as usual places really coming together buddy
Love the shelf above the fireplace!
Rendering the back of the fire place would let the stove stand out as well. I think it will lighten up the space and look much nicer.😊
A rotisserie spit. Yes, point the fireplace to match the rest. Also, it will look better when you put the stove/ heater in. I like the shelf in the front. Shelves on the side might interfere with the seating you thought you might add on either side of the fireplace.
That strimmings sure adds to the compost pile!
Like the shelf brackets
The 2nd shelf brackets are in keeping as you said. A Rotisserie fire iron.❤
Liking the brackets and shelf 😊
Always a pleasure to dip into Sean's World , you make lovely gentle blogs Sean ... I do enjoy them thank you x
My pleasure
I love the shelf on the front! Pottery or something like that on display.
I agree with rendering the back of the fireplace. I feel you are keeping the originality of the cottage without keeping the soot. The second brackets with the shelf on the front side is great!
The suit is part of the history
Definitely the heavy iron shelf supports - they suit the cottage. I say - render the back of the fire place area - it looks very very rough and rustic and I think the rendering will be lovely - great video - that you Sean!! The mystery item might be a device to hang meat. xg Brisbane Australia
Sean, yes render the inside of the fireplace. I think the item you held up was a roasting spike.
Brackets: I really like the scroll brackets on the front of the fireplace with the lower strap hammered down. Could you cut the top bracket back to where it joins the scroll? I think that width of shelf would be most pleasing.
As for rendering the fireplace, go for it. I was not at all happy that you were going to render the wall, but the way you did it, picking out the larger stones, it looks wonderful! You h ave a good eye!
Looks like a really meet job! Thanks for sharing how to do it!
I like the second brackets
Wow those brackets brought the fireplace to life brilliant
