Finally a mature couple who knows how to renovate a Chateau w beautiful golds and creams and not these ugly hot oinks and greens, but remaining elegant. So enjoying this.
Because I have obsessively watched EVERY video you've posted, I didn't expect to enjoy the annual time lapse as much as I did. It is MINDBOGGLING the amount of work you two have done, cheerfully, creatively, lovingly and unendingly. I was riveted every moment of this video. Wonderful work. Excellent edit choices, Beth. BRAVO!!!!!!!! Here's hoping the whole family has a wonderful holiday season. Thank you for all the education and entertainment you've provided us over the past year. You don't know how many difficult hours you've helped many of us through. Very Warmest Regards from the heart. xoxoxoxooxoxoox
The chandeliers are particularly delicately graceful - complimenting the gilt decoration. Your combined artistic talents and dedicated craftsmanship are a testimony to your sheer genius.
The salon seemed so daunting in the beginning. The work that both of you put into that room was amazing to watch. I'm sure that all the gilding and plaster work seemed like it would go on forever. Not knowing how the floor was laid out was a puzzle in itself. Adrian was up for the challenge though. The salon was transformed in the end to a beautiful room. The hallway was in just as bad a state, but you both turned an ugly ducking into a beautiful swan. You are both so talented, and I'm looking forward to what is to come in the new year. Happy Christmas Adrian, Carole and Bethany 🎄. Many blessings to you all.
It’s so refreshing to see a house being renovated properly with such care and attention going to the bits you can’t see, not just the bits you can. So many of these types of channels are painful to watch as they can’t really afford the properties and important structural work is not done correctly and it’s just covered over.
Adrian's work on the floors and chandeliers was so impressive as was the work Carole did in creating the grandest of grand salons and beautiful hall . Praise too goes to Beth for editing.
Happy Christmas and a wonderful 2024 to you all. You give so much joy watching you all work so hard renovating a pre loved chateau to bring it back to life. Thank you sharing your skills and how to tackle such daunting tasks., and all the ideas putting objects, colour schemes together., and not forgetting the marvellous help from the octogenarian gardeners.
ADRIAN AND Carol l have loved every thing l have seen but when Adrian started the work on the salon floor l was totally amazed! You both should feel very proud of what you have done.
You have both accomplished so much this year!!! Not to mention the grandbaby, job change, do you get ferry miles like air miles?, completing two large portions of the chateau, mowing, gardening, working on a rather wonderful tan in the chateau pool, cleaning and fixing up the UK house, cleaning and hanging chandeliers, selling a car, 😭 stealing strawberries, wind surfing, clearing land... Great highlight vlog! But I did miss Carole's shorts. (Truly the unforgettable apex of your year. 😘) Wishing you and yours the very best holidays and a fantastic 2024 - no matter where you end up in the world. ❤☃🌊❄🩱🎄👣👣
Beth is the best editor keep it up. The work everyone has done is inspiring. With a new year around the corner, the possibilities are endless. Blessing you and yours with good things and the possibility of a wedding soon (Beth) .
Although I have watched all your videos I am in awe of your achievements over the last year. I just don't know how you can bear to sell it. Its so beautiful. All the best wishes for 2024 to you both and all your family
Hello! Seeing you hand stitch reminded me of a job I had in the 1970s doing hand sewing for a custom drapery business. Everything you folks have done to your chateau is done to perfection. If it gets a new owner they will be very fortunate. I bought a lovely large angel holding a torch figurine in a thrift store ($6.) and thought of you two. A good wipe down and a bit of very lightly highlighting on her with rose gold paint turned out well. She now holds up a white candle atop the torch and sits on an small antique, hand carved mahogany table. I wish you and your family a wonderful happy, healthy New Year! ❤
I had forgotten just how much hard work the both of you had put into the transformation of this beautiful chateau! I'm sure that the two of you remember every bit of it! If the time ever comes that you do have to sell your home in France and move on to another home in the UK 24:23 I hope that the person you decide to sell it to will continue to care for everything you have started! Best of wishes for a positive outcome and hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
The complexity and quality of the work you do is extraordinary. Selfishly I hope you don't sell La Ferté too quickly, as watching what you continue to restore and refurbish is endlessly rewarding. I hope you have managed to enjoy a relaxing family Christmas.
amazing, still think the salon needs a huge gold/ cream rug, but do appreciate they are hard to find in good condition, as always your renovations are in keeping with the wonderful ladies age, nice modern touches where possible ( horse lamp) shame you are selling but i also have a grandchild and another on the way so i appreciate you want to be close so you can help and also be hands on to nurture and guide them growing up………❤❤
Adrian and Carole, it is still amazing to see the transformation of Château de la Ferte under your restoration and care. Bravo!!! May you and your loved ones have a Joyeux Noël.
I've followed you since the beginning but I'd forgotten how absolutely dismal the hall was! What a transformation! Even in its dilapidated state the grand saloon had a forlorn, faded elegance to it, but the hall? Dismal!
Your continuous banter and smiles are terrific. What a task. That hall floor was a wonder to behold. As in, I wonder if we should just quit and run away to Paris? How do you face this decay, without being discouraged.
Hello you two. Thank you for this lovely montage of the beautiful restoration of this lovely home. I’ve enjoyed each video along the way and appreciated the final recap of today. I wish you and your family the very best Christmas and New Year. Be well, be happy and safe. From our family to yours, All The Best! 🇨🇦
Watching from Australia. Mesmerised by all your hard work and dedication. Hope you can hold on to the Chateau - you deserve a life in the beauty you are both creating!! ❤❤
Although I watched throughout the year to see this compilation and a reminder of where you started and what you have achieved is amazing. Adrian for your skills and knowledge from removing rotten joists, building support walls in the cellar and painstakingly working out how the parquet flooring should be laid, to Carol and your eye and patience in decorating and furnishing each room, even making and dressing those beautiful curtains in the salon. I wish I had your eye for interior decoration, and also Beth for her patience in videoing the progress and compiling the weekly programmes for us all to view. A fabulous transformation of the chateau. Well done to you all. I only wish you weren’t selling so we could follow you for the complete transformation. Merry Christmas to you all xx
Carole, congratulations this room is really beautifull i suppose you would like do the same work for the walls of the dinning room which are no enough well. Love to you
Aqui do Brasil eu acompanhei todos os vídeos desde o início. Que trabalho lindo, minucioso, árduo, extremamente bem feito e quanto bom gosto!!! Tudo junto. Agradeço muito por poder acompanhar esse sonho sendo realizado a cada detalhe terminado. Era um chateau - agora está se tornando um Palácio lindo, encantado. E eu sou apaixonada por castelos. Parabéns a Família Unida num propósito tão bonito. Quiçá todos os Chateaus esquecidos tivessem esse cuidado. Feliz Natal e que o Novo Ano 2024 seja de colher as flores e frutos plantados até agora. 🌲🌲🌲💚💙💛🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Merry Christmas to you all. You must be feeling lots of emotions, relief, awe, satisfaction & you should be so proud of what you've achieved. The hardwork has produced such beauty. The painstaking work is remarkable. Thankyou & enjoy your Christmas together, see you next year. 2024 we're going to soar.❣️🎵🎄🎁🥂💃🥰🧡
Merry Christmas to you all, still all looks stunning, but just a reminder of all the hard work you have put into your chateau. Thanks the films and editing.
I’ve been looking forward to having time to sit down and enjoy watching this, as I know how Bethany has put previous time lapse/ compilations together, and as expected this was brilliant, showcasing Carol & Adrian’s hard work and designs! The amount of work you all put into this beautiful chateau is mind boggling and breathtakingly stunning. You’ve done chateau de La Ferte proud in the short time you’ve brought the most important parts of her back to life and grandeur, for future generations and your UA-cam followers, to enjoy. Congratulations!
Quit an accomplishment. This beautiful old house really wouldn't be the same without you! Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays to you and all your viewers. ❤🎉❤🎉😊
It's amazing what you both accomplished in one year!🎉 Just doing the parquet flooring was a monumental task in itself! Seeing the Salon finished in all its gold glory is exquisite! 😊 Well done, I am excitedly awaiting to see what's in store for this next year!🎉🎉🎉❤👍
The Grand salon was absolutely the masterpiece, and you both has golden hands, and all you touched changed in something beautiful, thank you, have a wonderful Christmas time and wishing you the best for 2024..and hope we see you more. Thank you.
Adrian Carol you have incredible patience and lots of talents .Fabulous results of your hard work and diligents. HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. 😊
All that fantastic work that you put in that Château is commendable to say the least. All the energy and love put in that home is amazing. Thanks to all , Carole, Adrian and you Beth for bringing us along your journey with the Château. Wishing you all a very Happy New to all the members of your family. Take care all of You 🎊. Maybe we will see You all again in 2024 😊. Sure hope so. Blessings
I still think the red furniture in the salon was wonderful and made a nice contrast. Happy holidays to you and yours! Hope all good things come for the new year.
I continue to be amazed at the quality of your work and the transformation it’s made. Truly gorgeous! Loved this compilation and hope there will be more to come in the year ahead. Every time I think about the sale of your chateau, I’m sad. Best to you and Merry Christmas! ☃️🎄🎅🏻
Perfectly wonderful transformation! Oh, that floor… I’m amazed. As Beth said - in one of the very first videos on this channel - ”Some say it can’t be done, but they don’t know my parents!” I’m paraphrasing, of course. The quote is not exact. May I ask something peculiar? It seems a bit odd to have that little table midfloor (at 7:05) - isn’t it better placed closer to the small sofa (the one in between the windows)? It just looks so lonely out there in the middle of the floor. Above is of course only a thought & let me now just say that I hope you are busy enjoying your Christmas 🎅 with family & friends!
I have always appreciated the care and attention to detail that you both take when renovating. Adrian for the care he takes when he actually rebuilds floors instead of just glossing over them. Carol, for actually using gold leaf in the Salon instead of paint. These are just examples of the intensive work they do. Hope you both and your family had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 👍🎄🍻❤️🇦🇺
Bonsoir et tellement merci de refaire revivre de cette façon ce beau château. Je vous souhaite une très belle fin d'année et surtout une année 2024. Qu'elle vous apporte tout le bonheur que vous méritez 😉🎄
Happy Christmas and a wonderful 2024 Каролина и Адриан Всех зрителей поздравляю с Рождеством Пусть вам светит Вифлеемская Звезда star of bethlehem Мира и всех благ
Hi Carol and Adrian. Its hard to believe what the hall and salon looked like before all the hard work and dedication you have put in. Amazing. I've enjoyed watching every minute of your vlogs Beth. Good job. Time now to put your feet up with your family and have a great Christmas with those precious Grandchildren. 🤶🥳🧑🎄 x
I thought the salon was the hardest renovation project but when you look at the video of the pre hallway you realise how epic that task was. Well done such a great achievement
What an achievement in just one year - plus all the work in the garden etc. Happy Christmas and a great new year. Really hope you find a viable alternative to selling.
Thank you for uploading this video again. I couldn't watch live cause here in Germany it aired just while we were celebrating and I was sad when I clicked on it and saw it was no longer available. Merry Christmas you to you and your whole family!
ООО как я люблю такие видио ,когда как было и как стало. Какая огромная работа проделана.Вы волшебники и все это каждодневным трудом шаг за шагом, не пассуя перед трудностями , каждую задачу Вы сумели решить . Браво ❤
Wow, what an incredible year! So much work accomplished and it shows. The Salon and Entranceway are so grand. And you had lovely gardens as well. All while managing to get away and do some lovely day trips with your family. Have a Merry Christmas!
You both have done a beautiful job on all parts of the chateau. Just love watching the creativity that you put into it. Happy holidays and a Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas. Wow what achievements this year. Watched every single one slowly taking place. What tenacity and hard work and what a team you make. And running a uk business at the same time. Amazing. So sad to see you leaving. You will be missed…
Adrian and Carole, I’ve really enjoyed the progress this year on the Chateau. You are both extremely gifted. The transformation has been remarkable. Very few people could have done what you have done. Someone else could have hired a builder to do the restoration, but that doesn’t mean the results would have been successful. The typical builder would not have clue what a period correct Chateau should look like. Congratulations on the progress so far.
You guys are amazing! The transformation is absolutely incredible! I sometimes groan at some of Carol‘s ideas, and then it turns out incredible, and perfect. And the rebuild of the floors and woodwork looks like it is absolutely backbreaking, but the result is again incredible. Thank you for an inspiring year.
I’m so happy this Chateau was purchased by the 4 of you! Thank you so much for Sharing your journey in renovation with us. I can’t wait to see how the rooms look upstairs! Also - will you use some land for solar panels for energy? ❤️❤️
Adrian and Carol, I hope you have an amazing new year. I really enjoy watching your videos. I don't know much of my french side other then they were French Nobility and as you can probably tell my ancestor fled france. I feel my ancestors would have loved your designs as much as I do and it still makes me feel like a mini Beauty and the Beast castle, especially with the living gargoyle on the roof😊
I'm sure you look at this video with as much amazement as we do to see what you both have accomplished in a year. Great job(s) done to the pair of you. BTW a big thank you to Beth for putting together these videos for us to enjoy.
Adrian and Carole- you guys have created such an incredibly beautiful change in just a year! It boggles the mind. You are both extremely creative artists with such an eye for detail!

Happy New Year Carole and Adrian ! Beth has done a wonderful job on videos/editing etc, bravo !@@LifeAfterLaFerté

Finally a mature couple who knows how to renovate a Chateau w beautiful golds and creams and not these ugly hot oinks and greens, but remaining elegant. So enjoying this.
I’m so glad!
The craftsmanship, perseverance and tenacity are admirable.
Thank you!
What an amazing transformation in one year! Thank you for taking your time and sharing with us. 🇺🇸
I love how he’d rather do things correctly and completely than cut corners and ignore problems
That’s the only way! 😊
It’s amazing to see this recap…you have really transformed this beautiful old building all by yourselves. What an accomplishment.
Thank you!
When did we stop building this elegant. Looks like a dream. The hard work for sure paid off.
Because I have obsessively watched EVERY video you've posted, I didn't expect to enjoy the annual time lapse as much as I did.
It is MINDBOGGLING the amount of work you two have done, cheerfully, creatively, lovingly and unendingly. I was riveted every moment of this video. Wonderful work. Excellent edit choices, Beth. BRAVO!!!!!!!!
Here's hoping the whole family has a wonderful holiday season.
Thank you for all the education and entertainment you've provided us over the past year. You don't know how many difficult hours you've helped many of us through. Very Warmest Regards from the heart.

Thank you so much for the kind words and Merry Christmas 🎅
This is such a kind comment.❤ I agree ❤
The chandeliers are particularly delicately
graceful - complimenting the gilt decoration.
Your combined artistic talents and dedicated craftsmanship are a testimony to your sheer genius.
Thank you very much!
Add a dream team, an historic chateau, and some zhuzhing produces a beautiful gem!
You are both artists! Truly gorgeous outcome!
Thank you so much!
The salon seemed so daunting in the beginning. The work that both of you put into that room was amazing to watch. I'm sure that all the gilding and plaster work seemed like it would go on forever. Not knowing how the floor was laid out was a puzzle in itself. Adrian was up for the challenge though. The salon was transformed in the end to a beautiful room.
The hallway was in just as bad a state, but you both turned an ugly ducking into a beautiful swan. You are both so talented, and I'm looking forward to what is to come in the new year. Happy Christmas Adrian, Carole and Bethany 🎄. Many blessings to you all.
Thank you Lori and Merry Christmas 🎅

Love it, so much hard work, hate to see you sell, but you have to do what's best for family
Thank you!
Cest tres joli , beaucoup de travail . Merci de redonner vie à nos châteaux abandonnés par la France 😍😊
c'était un plaisir
ADRIAN AND Carol l have loved every thing l have seen but when Adrian started the work on the salon floor l was totally amazed! You both should feel very proud of what you have done.
Thank you very much 😊
The place is so pretty. Deep down I'm wishing you guys keep it. Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family.
Thank you! You too!
This the first time I see a renovation done and still keeping its original design very amazing
Thank you 😊
You’ve completed an amazing amount of work on this restoration this year. I love watching your projects progress.
Thank you very much!
You have both accomplished so much this year!!! Not to mention the grandbaby, job change, do you get ferry miles like air miles?, completing two large portions of the chateau, mowing, gardening, working on a rather wonderful tan in the chateau pool, cleaning and fixing up the UK house, cleaning and hanging chandeliers, selling a car, 😭 stealing strawberries, wind surfing, clearing land... Great highlight vlog! But I did miss Carole's shorts. (Truly the unforgettable apex of your year. 😘) Wishing you and yours the very best holidays and a fantastic 2024 - no matter where you end up in the world. ❤☃🌊❄🩱🎄👣👣
Thank you and yes the shorts are missed 😂
Beth is the best editor keep it up. The work everyone has done is inspiring. With a new year around the corner, the possibilities are endless. Blessing you and yours with good things and the possibility of a wedding soon (Beth) .
Wow, thank you!
Thank you very much 😁 -Beth
Although I have watched all your videos I am in awe of your achievements over the last year.

Thank you and the same to you. 🎅
The complexity and quality of the work you do is extraordinary. Selfishly I hope you don't sell La Ferté too quickly, as watching what you continue to restore and refurbish is endlessly rewarding. I hope you have managed to enjoy a relaxing family Christmas.
We thankfully had two weeks down time 😊
I think back to the footage that M. Petherick took in one of his videos. Amazing!
Long time ago!
amazing, still think the salon needs a huge gold/ cream rug, but do appreciate they are hard to find in good condition, as always your renovations are in keeping with the wonderful ladies age, nice modern touches where possible ( horse lamp) shame you are selling but i also have a grandchild and another on the way so i appreciate you want to be close so you can help and also be hands on to nurture and guide them growing up………❤❤

Adrian and Carole, it is still amazing to see the transformation of Château de la Ferte under your restoration and care. Bravo!!! May you and your loved ones have a Joyeux Noël.
Thank you and the same to you. 🎅
I've followed you since the beginning but I'd forgotten how absolutely dismal the hall was! What a transformation! Even in its dilapidated state the grand saloon had a forlorn, faded elegance to it, but the hall? Dismal!
Yes it was a challenge
So much work done! Absolutely gorgeous! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Thank you! You too!
You guys are such hard workers. I’m very impressed. I also think you for a great designer Carole. I pray that you will be able to keep your Château
Thank you so much!
Your continuous banter and smiles are terrific. What a task. That hall floor was a wonder to behold. As in, I wonder if we should just quit and run away to Paris? How do you face this decay, without being discouraged.
Just take a small bite at a time! and drink lots of coffee 😆
Look how much you both accomplished in a year. Fabulous job. Merry Christmas to both of you and your family.
Thank you! You too!

Aqui do Brasil eu acompanhei todos os vídeos desde o início. Que trabalho lindo, minucioso, árduo, extremamente bem feito e quanto bom gosto!!! Tudo junto. Agradeço muito por poder acompanhar esse sonho sendo realizado a cada detalhe terminado. Era um chateau - agora está se tornando um Palácio lindo, encantado. E eu sou apaixonada por castelos. Parabéns a Família Unida num propósito tão bonito. Quiçá todos os Chateaus esquecidos tivessem esse cuidado.

I still think the red furniture in the salon was wonderful and made a nice contrast.
Happy holidays to you and yours! Hope all good things come for the new year.
Happy holidays!
I continue to be amazed at the quality of your work and the transformation it’s made. Truly gorgeous! Loved this compilation and hope there will be more to come in the year ahead. Every time I think about the sale of your chateau, I’m sad. Best to you and Merry Christmas! ☃️🎄🎅🏻
Thank you so much!
Adrian and Carole you have done a wonderful job over the year . I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and New year
Thank you! You too!
Perfectly wonderful transformation! Oh, that floor… I’m amazed. As Beth said - in one of the very first videos on this channel - ”Some say it can’t be done, but they don’t know my parents!”
I’m paraphrasing, of course. The quote is not exact.
May I ask something peculiar? It seems a bit odd to have that little table midfloor (at 7:05) - isn’t it better placed closer to the small sofa (the one in between the windows)?
It just looks so lonely out there in the middle of the floor.
Above is of course only a thought & let me now just say that I hope you are busy enjoying your Christmas 🎅 with family & friends!
We are still playing with this room but hot sidetracked with the hallway. 😃
I have always appreciated the care and attention to detail that you both take when renovating. Adrian for the care he takes when he actually rebuilds floors instead of just glossing over them. Carol, for actually using gold leaf in the Salon instead of paint. These are just examples of the intensive work they do.
Hope you both and your family had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 👍🎄🍻❤️🇦🇺
Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎅
I THINK CAROLE IS AN AMAZING DESIGNER RENO LADY. SHE DOES MAGNIFICENT PERFECT SEWING, PAINTING, ETC. ❤
She does !
Bonsoir et tellement merci de refaire revivre de cette façon ce beau château. Je vous souhaite une très belle fin d'année et surtout une année 2024. Qu'elle vous apporte tout le bonheur que vous méritez 😉🎄
Thank you and Merry Xmas 🎅
Happy Christmas and a wonderful 2024 Каролина и Адриан Всех зрителей поздравляю с Рождеством Пусть вам светит Вифлеемская Звезда star of bethlehem Мира и всех благ
Hi Carol and Adrian. Its hard to believe what the hall and salon looked like before all the hard work and dedication you have put in. Amazing. I've enjoyed watching every minute of your vlogs Beth. Good job.
Time now to put your feet up with your family and have a great Christmas with those precious Grandchildren. 🤶🥳🧑🎄 x
We agree!
I thought the salon was the hardest renovation project but when you look at the video of the pre hallway you realise how epic that task was. Well done such a great achievement
Thank you and Merry Xmas!
Thank you from the whole planet 🌎 for saving this treasure
You are welcome 😊
Merry Christmas to all of you thank you for a great year of watching your channel 🌲

I've been watching from the beginning and the transformation is breathtaking. Looking forward to seeing your work on 2024.
Thank you!
Congratulatins for all 2023 achievements. Wish you all a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2024 to you and all your family. ❤
Thank you & Merry Xmas 🎅
What an achievement in just one year - plus all the work in the garden etc. Happy Christmas and a great new year. Really hope you find a viable alternative to selling.
Thank you! You too!
Thank you for uploading this video again. I couldn't watch live cause here in Germany it aired just while we were celebrating and I was sad when I clicked on it and saw it was no longer available. Merry Christmas you to you and your whole family!
And the same to you!
Simply, elegantly beautiful!
Happy Christmas to the Dynamic Duo and all your family, from Coronado California 🎄🇺🇸
Thank you! You too!

Wow, what an incredible year! So much work accomplished and it shows. The Salon and Entranceway are so grand. And you had lovely gardens as well. All while managing to get away and do some lovely day trips with your family. Have a Merry Christmas!
Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎅
You both have done a beautiful job on all parts of the chateau. Just love watching the creativity that you put into it. Happy holidays and a Merry Christmas
Thank you! You too!
Merry Christmas. Wow what achievements this year. Watched every single one slowly taking place. What tenacity and hard work and what a team you make. And running a uk business at the same time. Amazing. So sad to see you leaving. You will be missed…
Haven't left yet! Merry Christmas 🎅
Adrian and Carole, I’ve really enjoyed the progress this year on the Chateau. You are both extremely gifted. The transformation has been remarkable. Very few people could have done what you have done. Someone else could have hired a builder to do the restoration, but that doesn’t mean the results would have been successful. The typical builder would not have clue what a period correct Chateau should look like. Congratulations on the progress so far.
Thank you very much and have a prosperous New Year 😊
Looking forward to the next video, cant wait to see this finished.
You and me both!
What an incredible journey.
Thank you!
You guys are amazing! The transformation is absolutely incredible! I sometimes groan at some of Carol‘s ideas, and then it turns out incredible, and perfect. And the rebuild of the floors and woodwork looks like it is absolutely backbreaking, but the result is again incredible. Thank you for an inspiring year.
Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎅
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. It is breathtaking and inspiring.
You are so welcome
Thank you! It’s such a joy watching you transform the Chateau into such an elegant and amazing residence. Merry Christmas!🎄🎁 🎉❤
Thank you! You too!
I’m so happy this Chateau was purchased by the 4 of you! Thank you so much for Sharing your journey in renovation with us. I can’t wait to see how the rooms look upstairs! Also - will you use some land for solar panels for energy? ❤️❤️
Bravo! 👏 You've done an amazing job. It looks spectacular.
Joyeux Noël à tous!
❤ from TX!
Thank you and the same to you. 🎅
Merry Christmas to you all. It's been a joy to watch the transformation bit by bit. Thanks for sharing the process.
Our pleasure! Merry Christmas 🎅
Adrian and Carol, I hope you have an amazing new year. I really enjoy watching your videos. I don't know much of my french side other then they were French Nobility and as you can probably tell my ancestor fled france. I feel my ancestors would have loved your designs as much as I do and it still makes me feel like a mini Beauty and the Beast castle, especially with the living gargoyle on the roof😊
And sometimes Adrian on the roof 😂
@@LifeAfterLaFerté 😂🤣😀
I'm sure you look at this video with as much amazement as we do to see what you both have accomplished in a year. Great job(s) done to the pair of you. BTW a big thank you to Beth for putting together these videos for us to enjoy.
Thank you and Merry Xmas!
Love you folks so much, and you make like the perfect couple too 🥰🥰
You are so kind
Adrian and Carol you have golden hands. This is fantastic!!! Merry Christmas to you!!!
Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎅
