Wow, even though I have watched every video, I have forgotten so much. I remember when the renovations of the original floor began thinking that the amount of work Adrian put into them was insane, and then Carole began with the painting and plastering, and then, step two of the floors, almost making the installation of the plywood look easy!!! What a journey! I have no idea why your channel came up on my feed. You are the only chateau people I watch, but what a great day it was. I so look forward to your videos. Thank you for taking us along with you. You have created a lovely place where people feel buoyed up by your skills, dedication and laughter. I read the comments and it is such a nice caring community. Thank you!
They are the only people I watch, too.
Thank you Brenda!
Truly a work of art and love. Just amazing dedication to get everything just right❤
Ditto. Only one I watch.
This is probably the first time I've ever watched a restoration video that was 25 minutes long and worth every moment. The amount of detail and care that went into restoring even the smallest pieces....really just amazing. Bravo to you both! You're truly artists in the remaking of such a stunning work of art.
Thank you 😊
I’m an archaeologist and new to your channel. I must admit I was getting a little sad when you started painting/priming everything white. But then you started gilding and I was so happy! You’ve done an amazing job restoring this place and your attention to the historical details is just incredible!
Welcome aboard and thank you 😊
A true labour of love- so happy for you😊
Absolutely astounding!!!
Shirley you are Most Blessed to have such a breathtaking Beauty as this for a home!
Correction. LOL. S u r e l y
Bravo Carole, Adrian and Beth! This video is worthy of a UA-cam Creator Award. So fitting to see this resurrection on today of all days. Such an inspiration to us all.
Our pleasure!
Wow amazing job just stunning!!!
Happy Easter, Glenn!
And yes, this indeed a resurrection, and worthy of the original, departed artisans. Congratulations, Carole, Adrian and Bethany!
Beautiful restoration with attention to a lot of detailed work. Wish all 'renovators' would do it like you did.
You have truly breathed life into old ghosts. I am in awe of your work, attention to detail, and deference to history.
I can only imagine that the ghosts of centuries ago would be elated at not only your respect for this grand home and what it was to them, but also how you’ve brought this chateau into the 21st-century. You’ve made this old lady dignified again. 🇨🇦
Thank you 😊
aint no olde lady anymore.....she is reborn and is a new woman lol
Трудолюбие и чувство прекрасного этой семьи, любовь и уважение к замку, сделали просто волшебство. Пусть хранит вас Господь, вы не обыкновенные люди. Благодарю вас за то, что вы дали возможность смотреть за процессом и подарили праздник нам всем ❤
Вы русский?
И деньги. Мноого денег.
А чё таджиков не наняли?))
Те кто реставрировал это труд благородный, не лёгкий! Спасибо .
What a spectacular transformation. You have set the bar high for anyone taking on a restoration. Carole and Adrian, you are both talented and dedicated to the project, and the results demonstrate that. Bravo!
Wow, thank you!
If I could give a thousand thumbs up, they'd be yours. Just breathtaking!!!
Not enough words available in the English language to describe the amazing job you two have done. Thanks for allowing us to come along on the dream. Can’t wait to see the rest. Thanks again for all of your hard work, and humor.
Our pleasure!
I agree- not enough words 😊
Сколько труда, усилий, терпения, времени, любви, денег вложено в эту работу. Браво👏 Нереально красиво.
This room is a testament of the talent, skill and hard work you both put in. The furnishings and furniture you have chose makes the room opulent, worthy to be called a ' Grand Salon'. Congratulations!
We agree!
Bethany did a fabulous job of editing and compiling all of past year's work.
Perfect.
Absolutely spectacular. All of the furnishings were well chosen. I can imagine Jane Austen walking into the room and feeling at home. What a marvelous job you both have done. I cannot wait for the other rooms.
Not enough words to express how impressive your restoration has been....exquisitely done on every level. Kudos to you both.
Thank you Jill 😀
Такой большой,творческий и плодотворный труд,заслуживает уважения
Браво!
My heart jumped, and tears filled my eyes upon seeing the finished salon. I feel so proud for you both. What an astonishing transformation! Congratulations on a job very well done!
Thank you so much!
relax
The restoration was extremely difficult but you two are pros. You made an historical room be reborn. Your talents and ambition are unrivalled. The room is so glorious it moved me to tears. I am truly an admirer❤
Yes, thank you
Какая прекрасная работа! Я в восхищении вашим трудом и Бережной реставрацией. Браво!
WOW!! The dedication, love and patience that went into this room. How can one find the right word to describe this masterpiece. Stunning, gorgeous, amazing I say it's every beautiful word you could imagine. Thank you for restoring it to all its former glory. Bravo, Bravo 👏👏👏👏
Thank you Karen!
It’s good to be reminded just how much blood, sweat and tears went into this transformation. It was worth the wait. Beautiful! 🇨🇦
I am so happy for you two! You guy's deserve every second of enjoyment this space will bring. Congratulations on an extraordinary achievement through your dedication to craftsmanship and design.
Thank you so much!!

Absolutely magnificent. When I first saw the Chateau on that initial tour with Michael P., I thought to myself “if this restoration is done right, it will be something very special “. Well, Carole and Adrien, it HAS been done so much more than right. It has been restored to it’s original beauty and then some. I have really enjoyed watching it transform and can’t wait to see what you do with the rest. You have worked incredibly hard and the results speak for themselves. Well done you.
Wow, thank you!
To be fair, this is Carole's triumph with Adrian in a supporting role.🏆
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!👏👏👏
Adjectives all fall short. What an incredible journey. What a magnificent accomplishment.❤❤❤
Yes! Thank you!
You were both born, bred and married to do just this. What teamwork. Absolutely magical!
Thank you.
Our pleasure!
I couldn’t agree more! They truly are the definition of dream team ❤❤
Your dedication, your creative genius, your patience and your resourcefulness have shown each of us what can, and what was accomplished over this past year. Thank you for taking all of us on this journey with you. Bravo!
Your welcome!
Just watching this made me cry and it’s not even a house I’ll ever seen in person. Just the sheer talent and motivation to literally “exhume” this historical property is insane. I’ve seen many Reno’s of old homes but nothing in comparison to how original this really is. Beautiful!!
Thank you Alexa for your kind comments!
Шикарно ❤. Такая тяжёлая и крапотливая работа проведена... Золотые руки у мастеров ❤
какая работа, на камин посмотрите, внутри топки должен быть огнеупорный кирпич, а там ракушняк, постоянный перегрев опять разрушит отделку камина, плюс будет постоянно вонять сажей
I feel sure that the original builders and owners of this magnificent chateau are smiling down on both of you with gratitude 💗
The transformation is just amazing! 😮 Adrien and Carole you guys deserve a great vacation!! 🏝️😄
I think relaxing now in that room will b the vacation
I can see this has been a real labour of love. The parquet floor is absolutely stunning. Such a heart warming transformation. And to see you enjoying the whole experience was a bonus. Thank you for sharing.
You are very welcome!
I can imagine how proud and elated both of you are to see this gorgeous room.
Lovely job, Carole and Adrian! Your skills are amazing and compliment each other, you both have such attention to detail - you had a vision for the salon and carried it through. It's so elegant I can't wait to see what you do next!
Thank you so much!
Thank goodness there are people like yourselves who are willing to take on the daunting task of preserving these once grand properties and bringing them back to the beauty they once were. Your attention to detail is beyond measure, and I just want to express a sincere thank you all the way from the U.S. for all that you two continue to do to restore this grand beauty not only for the now, but for future generations to enjoy and appreciate. Absolutely stunning!
Thank you 😊
@But how do you know how to do all these things ? How ?
@I'm in awe, how ?
@@promax9159 lots of studying 🤣
It really does take an artist to see what that room could be and then it takes that artist and her partner to be both highly skilled, motivated and maybe a little more than mad/crazy to see the project to a very detailed and beautiful completion. Well done Carole and Adrian, well done indeed.
Thank you so much! 😀
Perfection. Brilliant. The only thing missing is a masterpiece portrait of Carole and Adrian. The perfect finishing touch. Very nice montage of the journey we have all taken with you. From the horror of removing the floor😱 to the final finishing touches, has been such a journey, one that I have taken each episode along with you. Thank you so much. I’m exhausted lol! Hugs all.
Thank you for watching and supporting this journey! 😊
Absolutely stunning! Every bead of sweat paid off. The countless hours you two spent doing this restoration is simply mind boggling. Not to mention all of the skills you had to have or learn. Love it, love it, love it!
Glad you enjoyed it
Just incredible! All of your blood, sweat and tears have been so worth it! The grand salon is truly befitting of its name and it’s as if it was always meant to look like this! Your vision for this room is spot on! So elegant! This magnificent chateau is so happy that you two came along to rescue it and is awakening to her former glory. Thank you for bringing us along with you on this wonderful journey! ❤
Thank you and you are welcome!
Great job 😊 Because of your hard disciplined work, you have brought these ashes of decay and neglect to the shear transformation of absolute bright beauty!!!! Reminds me of the “Beauty and Beast”
That’s what people say about Carole and I. 😂
Absolutely stunning! You two are amazing in the amount of skill and dedication to restoring the Grand Salon back to it's former glory! Bravo!👏👏👏
There truly are no words. If I had to chose one favorite thing in all this glorious beauty, it would be the chandelier and ceiling rose. OMG! Well done Adrian and Carole, and all who helped! tysm for sharing! I wish there was a LOVE button! 🥰
Потрясающий дом, великолепная реставрация,, у вас "золотые руки"! Получилось прекрасно, восхитительно, старый дом вновь сияет и радует.❤️
I loved watching the “fast” version of the salon’s restoration. You two have done an amazing job on the château. Poor Carole’s arms! That ceiling work must have been draining. And the parquet floor! A masterpiece. Love everything.
Thank you Shannon yes the ceiling and floor really did take us to the extreme but it looks amazing now x
Amazing. Not only the incredible transformation in the room but the patience and dedication you both have shown. You are truly artists. ❤️
Thank you so much!
Hard to describe the beauty, but it is absolutely stunning & you both worked so hard to accomplish this, amazing!!!
Это огромный труд! Браво !!!👏👏👏🇷🇺
1 year for 1 room. Thats alot of time and energy for 1 room. It looks gorgeous! Well done! Couldn't done it myself. Can't imagine to do this to the whole chateau.
I absolutely love how everything turned out. It was so informative watching you both do your projects and how you revitalized the missing pieces in the salon. You are doing things the right way. Kudos to you both!! 👏👏
All of your incredibly hard work has transformed this room into an absolute treasure..I'm sure you're both extremely proud .
After watching the transformation over the year I must say. " Well done". Carole and Adrian, your hard work and know how is just amazing!
Thank you so much!
Absolutně FENOMENÁLNÍ .Jste oba nesmírně šikovní a pracovití lidé.Jsem vděčná ,že u toho můžu být a koukat.Přeji vám mnoho sil a odvahy do další rekonstrukce.Zdravím ČR
When people post timelapse it really reminds everyone the enormous amount of work that has been done. The payoff is truly worth every second. The attention to detail you both have put into this is astounding. So well done! I hope you put your feet up to enjoy it for a bit.
Maybe a day or so!
@ Well better than nothing - make it count. The room is breathtaking!
Congratulations! You must be so proud of your end result - and deservedly so! Looking forward to seeing what "carpet" you finally decide upon. Fantastic work. Thank you for taking us along on your journey.
Какой же красивый замок! Вот умели строить! Вдохновляет!
That is the most beautiful room I've ever seen! I'm so glad you didn't cover up the floors. The furniture is perfect. The curtains are perfect. Everything in that room is just perfect. You've both worked so hard and it shows. Congrats on a beautiful room. Great work, Beth on the video too! ❤ from Kansas!
Glad you liked it!!
Now This Is a Proper Salon! Wow! The transformation is just spectacular. From floor to ceiling to lighting and furniture. Love it! Its magic.
Добрый вечер,какую колоссальную работу вы проделали. Результат шикарный..БРАВО👏👏👏👏👏
So much work, talent and dedication. Yet the two of you laugh all the time and your love towards each other and to the family is outstanding. This room is one of the most beautiful rooms I ever saw in my life. I wish I saw it in person. It might be the Grande Salon…. But there has too be a much much bigger word just for your work alone. Cheers to Beth as well.
You are so kind
Absolutely stunning. Wish I was young enough to do it myself. I am a retired paperhanger (wallpaper installation). I was impressed that you tried to have the paper replicated but that it was cost prohibitive. The paper you chose has a brocade look (irresdescent) but you need a lot of light to hit it for the pattern to show. I would have picked a colorful damask or a french floral because they papers they had in those years were brightly colored. I wish I could have helped you. There isn't as much traditional French paper being printed with the current modern craze, but it's out there. Very, very, impressed with all your work. Aaaah, the joy of being young and full of energy.
This room has transformed beyond any imagination! Brought back to life and maybe even greater than it was when it was built. Congratulations to you all. I can't wait to see what you do next!
Incredible! The fact that the two of you took this on yourselves, and the amazing results, shows the depth of your talent. Fabulous job. 🙌🏼
I'm an Interior designer and I stumbled on this video and wanted to applaud your dedication to details and labor of love on this beautifully transformed space. ❤
Wow, thank you!
It’s great that there are people who are so painstakingly involved in the restoration of buildings.You guys are great!!!
Thank you 😊
with this time lapse video we realize all the hours, days, weeks of work, research (for decoration, for furniture) and the patience it took you to achieve your goal of filming this great living room Once finished. the whole is sublime and this is the first room completely finished now the rest to come I can't wait to see your next adventures at Chateau de La Ferté. congratulations for this beautiful work.
Despite having watched the entire process as you took it in stages, I found the compilation compelling. You've done such a wonderful job, Carole and Adrian, from the painstaking detail on the scrollwork to the hours Adrian spent on the floor. And the furniture is just right for the room; it's honestly lovely. Congratulations on a job well done.
Thanks again!
Rarely am I at a loss for words, but this transformation is literally awe-inspiring! Absolutely incredible work, you two!!!
Thank you 😊
The two of you are amazing. The amount of work you lift in and what a stunning result. Congratulations
Thank you so much!
What an achievement Carole and Adrian, I have watched every video and what a ride. This has to be one of the best salon restorations I have ever seen well worth the viewing. I was so happy to see Carole smiling throughout it was such a daunting task for her, I literally thought she was going to lose it several times. thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Our pleasure!
Beth thank you for all the time it has taken you to go through so many videos to produce just this one...it stirs the emotions. What a year, well done! Looking forward to what the future holds for all of you.
You are so welcome!
I’m not sure which I enjoyed more, the restoration dedication, the design details, the video compilation, or the joy on faces during the process. Thank you for sharing your passion with us.
You are very welcome!
Très belle restauration dans le respect de l’époque... un travail minutieux, difficile pour tous les 2, mais ô combien satisfaisant ! Bonne continuation ! 😊
Thank you Anik!
Carole, you and Adrian have transformed the grande salon into a masterpiece. I salute your perseverance. I can’t imagine taking on such a mind numbing project almost single handily. I know you had some help from family members and friends but the real hero’s were you two, in addition your daughter did a wonderful job video taping and making the finished project literally leap off the screen. I felt like I was sitting in a corner breathing in the fumes and dust as you were progressing. Whew, what a ride. Love watching from PA, USA.
Thank you 😊
I watched this today. No one but your daughter could have done this episode better. But having watched all of those that went into it, which were just tiny glimpses of the actual blood sweat and tears of doing it… NOTHING could convey that effort. No other chateau short of one of the great museums has had a shade of the thought, study and hard work that went into your grand salon. Certainly not by just two people with a little help. Of course you and your family know. I wish the whole design world did. My respect and admiration to you both. And the best thing about it is that it is tasteful, not over done and rug-less. Perfection.
Thank you Charlotte!
Your work ethic and skills are making the Chateau come alive again. The room is absolutely stunning.
It’s a truly incredible transformation. Although I have seen every one of your videos, it was a shock to see the original condition of the salon again. You’ve both worked so very hard, and should be so proud of your efforts, as the result is absolutely amazing. Congratulations, you did it!
Thank you Catherine!
Congratulations to the three of you! As a team you really do make excellent films, wonderful content, filming and editing. And congratulations Carol and Adrian for a year of hard work, and such a beautiful result !!
Thank you so much Lyn 😀
Chateau de La Ferte was blessed when you became it’s owners. Each week your talents have amazed me and I’ve enjoyed watching what your incredibly hard work, skills and creativity will result in next. Thank you Carole & Adrian for sharing this. I love every inch of what you’ve done as you’re true artisans.. with great taste. Bethany is an absolute Gem (even though mostly hidden!) in your team too. Congratulations & hope you finally get a night to sit down and relax in your restored jewel of a Grande Salon.
Every morning with coffee!
Thank you, Carole and Adrian. This Grand Salon deserves its title. You both have worked hard, Adrian with the floors and Carole your eye for detail, together you have brought this room back. It is a testament to your perseverance and determination to make your home an amazing place but yet a place that you are proud to call home. Well done.
Wow, thank you!
The detail you have put into the room is incredible. Beautiful! Great job Carol and Adrain.
Thank you Debbie!
La rénovation du salon est une pure merveille. Vous êtes des génies, je suis ravie de voir enfin un château refait par des mains d'artistes 🥰🤩👏
Merci beaucoup 😊
I wish I could like this a thousand times! What a joy to see what you have done! Carole you are truly a restorationist! Adrian all of the building skills and hard work! Beth one magnificent editing job! I am so so happy for you all about how gorgeous this room has turned out. It’s been such a pleasure to follow your progress, thank you so much for showing us your work! Just breathtaking, and so inspirational! Well done!
Thank you so much 😊
All that fabulous hard work and patience would have come to nothing without your fantastic vision. Well done it is truly shplendeeed!
This is just amazing! With only a hand full of you guys & gals, you restored an once old beauty to a new glorious self! I bet every night y’all needed massages & soaks❗️I just think of what it was like when this mansion was organically built! Not taking anything from you, but luckily today we have power tools! Fabulous artistry & dedication and hard work. Bravo❣️
Thank you Pegeen!
Oh, I didn't say enough about the room. Let's list the adjectives: elegant, classic, opulent, dignified, grand, beautiful, awe inspiring, regal...shall I go on...Where does such talent come from? It must be a gift from the divine 😇! Truly, to give such pleasure to so many with such an act of jaw dropping splendor; to be kind enough to share with such warmth; and to be diligently consistent in uploading (twice a week like clockwork) inspires great gratitude. France is in your debt. You are saving, in meticulous style, a chateau. Further, you are giving hope to its surrounding village. The resurrection of this monument will lift the spirits of all in its shadow. In one little corner of France the growing decay of modernity has been stopped. Life springs anew! Vive La France et Vive La Chateau de la Ferte!😁
Thank you for your kind words Claudine!
I am just amazed at how talented, resourceful and patient you both are. You have created a truly magnificent room! I love what you did in the dining room and now in the grand salon! BRAVO!!!
Step by step, piece by piece, you’ve done it and it’s a work of art. Congratulations!
Absolutely amazing transformation
Very impressive you had the energy to take on this level of work.
OMG! Carole, you wimped out on the lamp shade. It's the only plain surface in the entire room. It actually draws attention to something that looks bon marché. Throw some braid on it and take your victory lap! Have I said, it looks amazing?❤️❤️❤️
Didn’t get time to finish it for Beth
The before and after thumbnail is very inviting but sadly as it premieres here at 5am (3 hours from now) I won’t be watching until later. I already know it will be worth watching, so Carole and Adrian, here’s a thumbs up from me in advance! 👏👍👌💖
Thank you Christine!
I just saw your latest video and I couldn't help trying to contact you to congratulate you both for your super-human efforts in the magnificent restoration of your wonderful chateau. I think the French government should award you the Legion of Honor for everything you're doing here to save French patrimony. Your skill sets, patience and perseverance are absolutely incredible and the the results of your labor, as witnessed by the Grand Salon, are truly spectacular. You have all my admiration and then some! Your newly restored salon would not be out of place in Buckingham Palace! or should I say Versailles since you're in France? best wishes for all your future projects, Bruce Nalezny
Thank you Bruce!
Extraordinary. Transformation! It was fun, watching this video reminding us of all the hard work you have both put in to creating this gorgeous room! I remembered so much of the video. I really enjoyed watching you bring this room to life. I absolutely love the furnishings that you have chosen! You’ve created the room of my dreams! Congratulations! Love from Vermont
Thank you Rebekah. It’s been a long journey but we got there eventually. Now on to the next project!
I’m in awe!
Oh my gosh!!! your sense of style and level of dedication never ceases to amaze me. What an awesome transformation, with a result that is nothing short of regal! I have seen through watching your videos how much hard work sweat and tears you have both put in, as well as i am sure sleepless nights and planning. Very Well Done xo
Thank you so much!
The Salon is certainly grande. I am astonished at the amount of high quality work that you have both done. I have a considerable amount of work to accomplish in my own home now that I am retiring and you inspire me to get off of my behind and get started. Congratulations on a job well done. I am looking forward to seeing your next projects.
Amazing job! X
Great work
Amazing job with this video! It couldn't have been easy to choose what you were going to include. Your creativity and determination is so very inspiring! The results are amazing. I'm glad I stumbled upon your video blog a year ago. And this video just includes the salon, it doesn't show all of the other hard work including the garden, mowing, the other room renovations, repairing outside doors, weeding, pulling down vines etc. It's hard to believe you were able to do all of this work in such a short time! Congratulations!
Yes life’s never boring 😂
Wow, that's beautiful. You two have given the room the splendour and glory of the last century. Unique. You can be sooo proud of yourself.
MAGNIFIQUE
Spectacular!
