I love seeing Papa cuddle his little girl. You are a lovely family... very down to earth.
Thanks Rosie!
I think it's great that you are going with natural colours rather than regular paints. You are always making such an effort to maintain the historical character of your buildings. Well done! You'll make the right colour choice!
So nice to see you. Your children are so cute. Amy you are looking wonderful, you too Marc. I’d like to move into the coach house when you move back to the chateau. It’s going to be lovely with that beautiful stone. Looking forward to the progress. ❤️. I like that very soft green color that is on your left bottom side. Pretty.
Enjoyed. So nice to see your lovely little family. The coach house is going to be beautiful.
Thank you!
You both look so very happy and your children are healthy and happy life is good:)
Your children are so cute. I think the pinkish colour goes best . Nice to see you both back again xx
Another lovely video...I'm sure you chose the perfect colour/blend.. Amy you are looking far more relaxed and shining,. Lovely to see. Blessings ❤️✌️
Beautiful room. I think your decorating instincts should rule your choice. I am interested in your viewers top choice. Good luck and bless your sweet family.
I love the dark rust and it’s lighter version as a contrast. It goes perfectly with the stone and floors.
I'm inclined to agree and I love your colour description!
Love your vlogs and your most enchanting chateau !!! What a place to live and work. Thank you both for sharing your journey with us all :-) with best wishes from the Sunshine Coast in Australia
I love the l970's pram! It looks very much like the one I had for my babies in the '70's....they are better than the type these days, I think...they can move around. I love the way Clemente and Daddy explore the bug/slug world....typical boys! Your children are gorgeous! I love the sounds Juliette makes when she sees Clemente.
Welcome back. Clement and Juliet are getting big and so adorable. The tiles look orange/terra cotta on this vlog. On the color wheel the opposite of orange is blue. From a design perspective that would create the most drama. Grey, green or a taupe would also look good against the wood beams as well as the tiles. If you choose a color similar to the floor tiles, that would create a monochromatic scheme which would be more calming. It depends on what type of vibe you want to create. So excited that you are close to completing the carriage house 🏠 Bonne chance and thanks for sharing 😍😘
This is soooo sweet...what a lovely family. I am excited to see the coach house complete and you are all happy & cozy inside ❤😘
It helped out a lot to put
sub titles on when Marc was speaking. I'm sure if I talked with him every day I would understand the accent. He's so funny, I just don't want to not miss any of his humour.😊
He isn't very good at speaking to the microphone! You'll understand it all once we get a personal mic on him I promise!
Ochre Rouge is my first pick. I liked it from the beginning. I think it looks good with the floor and the wood of the structure. Also with the differences in light it’s not too dark or too light.
I think it's a front runner!
O, colour choices, such a puzzle. Floor colour and sheen, plus ceiling sheen, and refracted plus reflected light, plus time of day and how much direct/ indirect light, plus what wall direction , ie. east west north south , plus how much electric lighting is in the equation! I have renovated heritage-age buildings and consider each of these aspects in the exercise of picking colour. It is good to go look at your palette of colour at different times of the day, and night too; lights on and lights off. And if you have textiles and furnishings that are intended, it helps bringing these into the room to compare during day/ night. So fun!
Gosh Carolyn that's a lot of good advice and things to think about!
@@Chroniclesofrosieres, trust your intuition as well! You have the benefit of your own terriore, how light shines and shadows on your beautiful land.
Awww Juliette is adorable! I love her crocheted blanket! You guys are brill, always smiling and fun! I love the red and pink hues but en masse they absorb a lot of light and make a room look smaller so I would go for the blues and turquoise. Such a great idea using natural pigments xx
That's an interesting perspective - thank you!
Love the black and white intro!!!
What a difference in the colors depending on intensity and drying. You have some great options. Looking forward to seeing what you choose!
The Coach House is coming along really well. Are you going to redo the intro now that Juliette has joined the family?
We have to, you're right! But it's finding the time!
Imagine...." Oh what is that colour you have used on the wall", ....."It is 'Turkey Poo by Little Le Rosieres". 👍🤣💕💖💞
😂😂😂😂
Looking forward to seeing you all!!
They say that most couples fight over paint colours !
Yes, I like the light pink on the walls and the Rouge on the panels maybe? The children are adorable.
You have been busy, it all is looking fab. Nice to see you have some help she looks like a lovely young lady. Xxxx loving the pinky tones. Xxxx
Nice to see you all again, Amy you look absolutely fabulous, being a mum of two is just so natural to you ❤️❤️
Hello lovely family. How fabulous to see you all again. I like the colour you chose. Quite a few would look good I think but a great choice with the tiles. I thing the bedroom is going to look stunning. Clement and Juliet are scrummy gorgeous! Lots of love. Xxxx😊👌❣🌞
Thank you lovely Laura!
Amy it’s so wonderful to see you and Marc and the kids again! You all look wonderful! The coach house is going to be extraordinary! Sending those sweet vibes from California💜🤟🏻😎🇺🇸🇺🇦🕊
Thanks Liz!
I vote for Marc's idea. Match the rendering.
It is wonderful that you have a bit of help. Your little girl looks like a beautiful china doll. It is very hard for us to pick a colour as we can not see the floor along with the beams at the same time. Pick what you love best. Blessings 🇨🇦
That colour you choose as a tint of orange in it on my screen and I think its a good compliment to the beams and stone walls.
😊
What fun to experiment with different formulations of color. I would experiment more with the pink, warming it up with the yellow to create a coral tone. Have fun with it.
Be sure to put the two color choices next to each other. They will really influence each other in proximity. And if possible use larger samples. Greens turn gray as the light dims. Look at the colors together in artificial light. The light you will have when you use the room most.
Keep having fun creating! Most natural pigments look beautiful together.
I think if it were me, I am pretty conservative, I d go with a darker color from a color I like in the floor tile, and then it’s paler version above.
What ever you choose it will be magnifique!
That's an interesting idea! Thank you!
Wonderful to see you all. You have the cutest children 🥰🇨🇦
Thank you!
How exciting ❤️ a place to live while you work on the “big” house 😉 Your family is beautiful 😍
Thank you!
Happy BIRTHDAY, Bonne fête Marc !!!
Great video!! You are such a sweet, loving family. I tend to like the colors more similar to the pointing around the stone. So a pale beige and then the paneling could be a grayish green. Keep it bright and airy and make the stone the focal point. But it’s your lovely coach home so it’s what you love. xx
I like your thinking!
I love the opening of your videos, so much fun to watch. Your children are beautiful.
Thank you!
It is going to be so beautifully restored! I especially love the stone walls. Arduous work but so worth it. What a precious family. ❤
so pretty! I love the pinkish color that you picked. It looks feminine and matches how the inside of the room looks, to me. what ever you choose, I am sure that it will be beautiful!
I enjoy watching them too - a favorite couple of mine. Children are adorable like their parents.
😊
I realy like how You expose the old building details and incorporate the new things in harmnoy with the building instead of just making averything into a sterile plasterbox as most others i seen.
Lovely vlog! Amy, your little ones are magnificent - beautiful family. Clement looks so very much like his daddy! Cheers!
I really enjoy your vlogs x
Thanks Rebecca!
I think the blues go very well with the terracotta floor. Blue and orange are opposites on the colour wheel...
Good point!
Dont leave as long we miss you 😘
You are delightful! ♥️
(And so is the video. 😉🙂♥️)
Aw thanks!
Missed your videos ! 😊
Thanks for sharing the trials and tribulations of renovating with Marc! And love the new family pic on your profile xx
It is going to look great xx
I really enjoy watching you two..such good vibes..The babies are growing to fast.
Aw thanks Sherry!
I don’t know about the colors (well, actually I do but that’s such a personal preference decision that I’m saying nothing) but here’s what I do know - Amy, you are looking GREAT and the sweet cheeks on that adorable Juliette are the most kissable ever. Clement is forever a cutie pie and growing so fast and Marc with his way of doing things (particularly using Perrier to mix with the plaster) is such a hoot!!! LOVED seeing you guys back in action and doing so well ❤️
Thank you 😊
I do have one suggestion - you can mix colors and increase your colors by two or threefold. It’s all in the experimenting and Amy, your wanting to mix the plaster and color together in a “batch” and then spreading it would probably be the way to go
Can't wait to see the finished color!
😊
IM HOOKED !!! Been binging ur channel and I love it. What an amazing family.
What a lovely video. It made me smile so much. I would love to see pinks and greens together in that room - echoes of the green and roses of the garden; pink is always so warm and welcoming.
I prefer the warm earthiness of the pink tones, either #3 or #6. The lighting that will be in the room will have a tremendous influence, both the amount and direction of natural light as well as the kind of light bulbs in any chandelier or sconces so if you haven't brought those elements in you might want to add them before you finalize your colors.
I quite liked the pinky and tobacco ones but I really liked the blues too, they brought out the greys in some of the stone, they almost looked silvery. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out. Congratulations on all the hard work involved in the restoration of the building. The kids are growing so fast 🥰🙋🏼♀️
I liked Marc's selection. Classic.
Lovely colours whatever you choose will look good beautiful children great vlog thanks for sharing
I love watching you renovating couples negotiate your decisions and processes! Hilarious!
I think a blue or a green would be nice as a contrasting to the floor and the wood
I love that you take time to make your decisions. I know what it’s like, you want to be sure … It looks as though Clement will be taking over the filming before too long 😂 The progress you are making is nothing short of marvellous xx
Nice job. Children getting so big. Lol
Aren't they just?!
I like the 3rd color below the darkest rouge. ❤❤
It's quite dramatic isn't it?!
It is, I love it! It will be so wonderful when completed!
I agree with #3, the pinkish one. I'd avoid those colors that are mostly brown, because there's SO much brown and beige in the room already, with the beams and the stone. What a beautiful building and room!!!
That's definitely what I thought to begin with, but the dried 'tabac' one was surprisingly nice and seemed not to overwhelm the room. Next step is a slightly bigger trial!
I was a little surprised as just how much lighter the plaster dries. The colors are really beautiful, except for a couple which look like dirt. I like the colors you do, but also like the soft blues. Love all your videos!
Good luck with your color choices! I don’t even know what to recommend😂
What color would this space have had traditionally? It’s already charming with the stone, beams, and floor. Love the window,too. Amy, your hair looks beautiful. Love your blogs.
Thank you! There would have been no colours in here as a functional building other than the natural stone, woodwork and lime plaster.
The pastel blues are lovely
Hello Everyone from Sandhurst, UK
You look great Amy - having two kids is really agreeing with you. It's your choice in the end as it should be. I'd be struggling if it was me choosing because I like many of your samples. Yet I come back to tying in the floor tiles, wood beams and warmth of the lime mortar. Having been in very old country houses in Europe where the white lime walls inside and out are standard whitey/parchment colour, I have a hard time with any strong colour. Seems it would compete with the floor and wood and possibly other items you bring into the room. I notice the white lime helps other features stand out.
I do agree about the white being lovely in traditional plastered buildings. I think the problem with this Facim is that it's too white, because it's not mixed with anything that it normally would be, like sand. We won't go for anything too fussy I agree, but it needs a bit of a tint!
@@Chroniclesofrosieres its a beautiful space and will look incredible whatever you choose. Yes too white without any tint ... dont want it to be"so bright I gotta wear shades" lol. Can't wait to see it done. 👍💕
Amazed on how they dried i was enjoying the bright green but not the dried version. Agreed 3 and 6 the floor liked to have red hues
I really enjoyed the video! The kids are adorable and getting so big! It was fun hearing your plans and watching you mix the colors. I look forward to seeing more of your progress. Love from Vermont
I've just subscribed. I used to watch you on Escape to the Chateau DIY
just after you had your little boy!
So great to see all the work you're up to
Thank you Carolyn!
BEST WISHES TO YOU AND YOURS
Thank you!
So interesting, as always. The children are so beautiful and changing so quickly. I would have a hard time choosing colors but think shades that went with the floor tile colors would go great. It will be so exciting to see it all finished. Janice from Arkansas USA
Thanks Janice - nice to 'see' you again!
Love seeing you all xoxo 💋
😘
I would also go for color 3, and I would leave the wood panels natural.
🤗 loverly video🌄 I like your choices🤗
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
There is a soft pink tone in the terracotta floor tiles in some lights. You said you wanted a warm colour, so not green or grey.
Going well ... I enjoy the development of the property (eg resurrection of the water system and its impact), interiors, history and having it punctuated with humour and snippets of your family. Once you move into the coach house things will happen quickly for you. Hang in there!
There is a premade wall texturing that comes in many color that is like thick paint that is beautiful on less work……very nice
😊
I use Little Greene Distemper.. its amazing and I don't like using any other paint.. will go over everything.
That white blouse looks lovely on you
Thanks Siobhan!
I SO agree!
I love the color you dubbed 3. I like warmer colors on walls if they’re not going to be white. My plant lights give my living room a faint pink glow that I love. Whichever colors you choose will be perfect for you. I know you’ll be pros at the plastering very quickly. Loved seeing the kids and meeting your wrangler. When mine were little I’d have a wrangler to keep an eye on mine while I did things like cleaning and mowing.
It is going to be Gorgeous
Thank you! We're pretty excited!
So great to see everyone healthy & happy! Glad you've got an au pair! Have you thought about staining the wall panelling to complement the ceiling beams? Sage walls would be tranquil and go with lots of different prints for bed covers, etc. 😊
Great to be back. It was lovely to have volunteer Margot here but sadly we only had her for a week!
Such an interesting process with the pigments. Colors can be so deceiving on a video so it’s hard to know. My impression is that the pinks would be all wrong. I actually liked Marc’s first choice best, but I guess you thought it was boring. Well, that’s me😂. I think it could be tranquil. Im sure whatever you do it will be lovely.
I liked that too and thought by the time the artwork and fabrics are in the room it would be a good background colour to accommodate their colourful 'bits n bobs 👍🥰.
I prefer #’s 4 and 5 perhaps in a lighter shade, but I’m sure it will look extraordinary no matter which one you choose!
Thank you!
I went for the two Pinkish colours you picked out. Will be interesting to see how it pans out. Good Luck with the plastering
Thanks Victoria!
no. 3 gets my vote! wouldn't it be best to do plastering before panelling? Otherwise you'll have another job cleaning up the panelling from plaster drips. Might save you some time?
Hello from Sandhurst, UK
Hi Janet! Can you see the chat over on one side of your screen? That's the live chat area and we can read your comments in real time!
The first green you did would be gorgeous with the terracotta floor, or use the light green with the darker sage for trim. The dark pink is lovely too. Great video.
I was so worried and afraid Clement was going to fall with the camera on Juliet! I am a hands on grandma so I worry about these things! Juliet is absolutely beautiful!! What a pair of lovely children you have. You are blessed! The coach house is looking very nice. Well done! Wonderful job. The colours are exquisite. I like the creams and light grey with the green if that is what is going on the wood? What about a wallpaper feature wall somewhere?
thanks once again for a wonderful vlog. Your family is beautiful and you too make gorgeous babies !!!
Your baby girl is soooo gorgeous ...
Love your cute vlogs. 🥰
Beautiful family, gorgeous property love watching your videos
Ochre rouge tinted out has a relaxing tone. Keep the bedroom cosy . Tabac looks a bit pedestrian. Just my opinion. Too much grey, beige & greige at mo, so will easily date. More power to your elbow - you'll need it !!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗😘😘😘😘
5 or 6...the children are beautiful x
Thank you!
