I would vote for Hidden door. Chateau must have a hidden door!!!
Agreed but with a hidden drinks cabinet. 🤣
Totally agree, hidden door!
Hidden door with a portable drinks bar.
I have to agree. Hidden doors and rooms are such a childhood adventure into Narnia. Love it.
Hidden door FOR SURE
Influencer, comedian, electrician, cameraman, builder, husband, father. Chapeau! 😊⚒🙌
...all around good guy👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸...
Don't forget Celebrity.
And genius
...and nevertheless so humble.
"It will take forever, like half an hour or an hour." The man is a true comedian.
Influencer and King of Comedy!🤣
😅🤣Also “when you work with electrics you have to be careful, something could happen to your family which would be horrible especially if you like them” 😁
If you are still here in 10 years, I will be here too. Your videos make Sunday a little more enjoyable :)
Happy to hear that!
So true. I just discovered them. It's the best.
Sexy is a man who cherishes his wife and shows it in ways like rewiring antique chandeliers for her.
I laughed out loud when Philip was giving his disclaimer regarding electrical maintenance. After all you could hurt your family and that would be awful especially if you liked them 🤣
I laughed at that too. Oh my god he's so dry but so great is is humour x Sheena
@@sheenacook154 I SO love a dry sense of humor... so much like my father! I think I totally got that from him :)
My new favorite quote "Never give up, unless you have something more important to do."
“anna, as exciting as it is to watch you painting a white wall white...”
i LOVE your roasts
that was my favourite line in today's episode!
"It is almost dry....there is just minimal traces of gold on the kitchen surface and my jumper" LOL!!!!
Re: The Hidden Door - I vote to make it a useable door. Unless I am missing something, the convenience of having direct, discreet access to the kitchen while hosting guests in the dining room outweighs the utility of having a bar. I like white for a laundry room - seems appropriate. Per usual, enjoyed your video.
How about both? With a hinged drinks unit.
My thought as well do both
I agree!
I vote to turn it back into a hidden 🚪! Also, my husband and I laughed out loud at the "especially if you happen to like them" comment. Love you guys!
me too, I have been widowed for 5 months now, which of course is during this ghastly covid virus and here in Canada we're back in another lockdown.
This is the first time I've not only laughed but laughed out loud.
God bless you Phillip.
@@Motherhubbard170 sending some luv & comfort.x
I laughed too at that! Philip's humour reminds me of my dad's, some would be offended but I loved it.. 🤗❤️
It was hilarious 😂
@@Motherhubbard170 💕
For the hidden door: my vote is to use as in the original concept. Who else gets to have a hidden door?!
Philipp’s sense of humour just cracks me up! 😂
If you and Anna are still vlogging in 10 years, I'll still be watching.
“It would be horrible, especially if you like them.” 🤣🤣🤣 You made me laugh Philipp!
Praises to Anna for her impressive Upper Body/Arm Strength.....high walls/ceiling painting with roller extension,etc. Phillip's Office+ laundry area Outstanding❣
I'm 65 and I still do it. The trick is to stand back and rock back and forth, letting your legs do some of the work. As much as she's painted she's got the muscles.
My God, Anna!! You can even reupholster an entire sofa!!! Deep respect and admiration 🙏🏻
While your delightful humor, attention to detail and historical accuracy, refined taste, and commendable diligence are all greatly appreciated, it was the sweetness of a father encouraging his daughter's desire to assist that won my heart. And what child would not love showing their friends the secret door?
Oh, a secret door! What fun! Both of your girls, and you, too, will love showing everyone.
@@teresaoneill6440 It won't be secret for very long...
Sounds like a neat idea. Secret doors are fun.
You both are doing a great job! The yellow room looks great!
As a child in the 70’s my parents renovated a Victorian property. I only got to see my Dad if I worked with him on projects. It made me a resourceful person with DIY skills and no fear of fixing things. A great upbringing for any child. Hope Anna feels better soon.
Sounds like a great childhood!
Anna’s pain from watching Phillip use the sponge and the kitchen island is greater than the pain from going to the dentist.
That night she used his toothbrush to clean the bathroom.
Love the idea of a secret door.
Good job Lilly, your daddy would have had a very hard time fixing the light without your help, well done young lady.
He need’s to do standup comedy. “Especially if you like them”, I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes.
Loved the bit with Lily helping her father...she was quietly patient and fearless....just like her mama! Prayers for healing Anna!
I have an affection for the colour green. When we moved into our house I was told that I wasn't allowed to paint all the rooms in green. I settled on some soft buttery yellows and ever so slightly green greys in addition to the greens I manage to sneak in.
I am in favour of keeping the secret door with bar access on both sides. It is such a unique feature.
I agree!
The kids have n the family used to call my mom Green Grandma. Guess why, lol. Her car was also green.
Green (and yellow) is my favorite color.
Please leave the rainbow walls and hidden bars for other chateaus. Your style has freshness and elegance, and makes your place inviting, neat, and warm. Keep up the good work!
Couldn't agree more
Phillip is not only an influencer he is an electrician! Great looking room.
Keep the door as a hidden door. So convenient too to get to the other side of the hall to the dining room.
If you need the doorway: reuse it. If you don't need it, a shelf is always a good idea. From two sides - the bar idea is very good for this. Or books.
I vote keep the secret door as a door but...... wallpaper/paint the inside doors something really surprising.
I vote for hidden door. I love how the Chateau's and Castle's have them.
A secret door and entrance into a whole other room is very cool to me. Put drinks in a cabinet in both rooms. No one else has secret doors! Wonderful vlog. Lovely girls and family.
Ooh Anna, knee pads are your friend on those stone floors x
I’d reinstate the hidden door, I bet the girls would love it.
I agree😉
"Cause you have to be careful as something could happen to your house, or worse your family, and that would be horrible; especially if you liked them." Lol that last bit😆
I can physically feel all the work you have done. My dad built and renovated 13 homes, my brother did 3 of his own homes, my mother had 13 rental properties and did most of the "fix-it," tasks herself and I either volunteered or was required to help with them all ! After the first two years for most of the projects it was a test of self-will to continue. You guys are doing so good!
That guy's sense of humor is so dry dust blows out of his mouth when he opens it. That's a compliment BTW.
I am fairly new to this channel but i loooove Phillip's personality, i live for it. The dry wit and humor and sarcasm. "That's how you become an influencer"😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love the humor! Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Anna!
I just wait for your videos every week to laugh! Phillip is so funny I just cannot take it. He was standing there with his jacket like a Dolce and Gabbana model. I just love him!
Phillips dead-pan comedy is excellent and his wife plays off of it naturally! Love the comedy!
I think you should convert it back to to a hidden door to the dining room. Philip is HILARIOUS! The editing room looks great (I STILL would have gone with option #2)!!
Louis Trenker is a great brand! Suits you really well the jacket!
Philipp, I do love your sense of humor.
So funny when Phillip said he had parked on the sidewalk!! Each video seems to top the previous--all so humorous and endearing. Lily is very patient and smart. My vote goes for keeping it a secret door---stay with original intent. Brave Anna for teeth extraction work--ugh--hope you are mending well.
You are both fun, genuine and amazingly talented and not afraid of hard work. Love to see your story unfold. Can’t believe what you have accomplished in such a short time, mid pandemic.
What a great transformation! 10 years? You keep making them and I’ll keep watching!❤️
As ever, so stylish you guys! Another lovely space in the chateau. Hope you’re back to your natural gorgeousness soon Anna. Phillip you;re the master of understatement. You’re both innate influencers.
That finished room is a dream. Small enough to showcase the chandelier. The gold yellow paint is so right on. A pleasure to see these messy rooms come to fruition.
The idea of having a hidden drinks cabinet with access from both sides is VERY useful. Especially when people need drinks for whatever reason. either in the laundry room (to relax, calm down), or in the living room? dining? To be merry ;)
Absolutely!
Drinking in the laundry room is just sad
Phillip is not only an influencer he is an electrician, gardener, and carpenter 😊⚒🙌 !
The right amount of talent and humour makes for an interesting vlog, and both of you have this in spades. I enjoyed this very much. Hope you no longer look like a chipmunk Anna. Philipp, you are a very handsome influencer! I look forward to next week.
Thanks so much!
The room is so so nice!!! I’m hoping you’re feeling better by now Anna. It was cute to see Lily helping Philip with the light fixture - a little renovator in the making. 🥰
"It would take forever, like... half an hour."
This channel is great.
The room is gorgeous! Congrats Philip on becoming an influencer!
Wow, the editing room looks FAB! I hope Anna is feeling better.
I vote to reinstate the hidden door to be accessed from both sides! Exciting stuff! 💕
I have always thought this would be an atelier in the end, don’t know how Philipp manage to convince Anna and snap this room 😁
Every room you both tackle emerges so clean, organized, uncluttered and styled. Love it.
Love the editing office. Philip, you are such a good, patient dad! Great job, Anna! Love the color scheme!
I vote for restoring the doorway. Does anyone else just burst out in laughter or snort their coffee when Philip delivers one of his quips? There's nothing better than someone who makes you laugh!
I hope a designer sends Anna something. You are both fabulous influencers for your generation. Anna, take a break and get some rest! You both need a break.
was thinking the same! you guys do a really nice job! the result is always beautiful and the videos are really fun to watch. Sometimes a little rest does go a long way :) Hope you can take some :)
That yellow is such a great choice.
Sometimes the service entrances can be a bit much if a room already has several doors, multiple windows etc, but when it’s built so you can hide it that’s not a problem and a hidden door is always charming! One of the houses I grew up in had one that melted seamlessly into the oak shelving of the old library/smoking room. If closed it really looked like there was only one way in or out, I loved that as a child! Super sneaky.
Great video, well done!
Hope Anna is feeling better after her dentistry work! The room looks fantastic! I wasn’t sure about the color as it was going on the walls, but in the end it really looks gorgeous. “The Influencer” and Lilly did a bang up job on the light fixture as well! Good job Lilly was available to give him a hand! 👍
Anna fantastic painting skills ,room is so well done .when is Anna getting her own room .Phillip you should be on the stage x
My husband & I have enjoyed your weekly videos since your first one, & we hope you both continue doing them for a long time!! In this crazy world of ours, very rarely do we get a chance to laugh out loud like we do with yours!!! Thank you for that, & sharing your lives with all of us!! You are indeed a beautiful family ❤
Perfect room! You guys have an excellent taste on choosing the colors for the chateau.
I absolutely love the colour choice for the room. I would like the door to remain as a hidden one; after all it is part of the original features of the Chateau. 😊🇬🇧
Damn!!! Philip looking Sharp ..😍
The humour and silliness makes this channel so enjoyable, not to mention the impressive job you two do with your renos. Kudos to you both.
You two are just so inspiring!!! I take my hat off to you BOTH!! Superb work on a glorious old chateau 👏🏼👌🏼
Thank you so much!
Hope your gum has healed, Anna. Great job, chaps, love that yellow paint colour
Love the color schemes for your chateau. Very classy and clean unlike other chateaux that are so cluttered and have no design coherence! IMHO. Kudos to your project. You two make a great team.
Luis Trenker! I grew up with his movies in post war Germany! First in the Kino - movie theater and later on our first Fernseher - TV! How nice that the name has new relevance. In Alpenmode - alpine fashion. And also in cheese!
You two are just so cute playing off each other . Love Philips oh so innocent looks . Love the video
Haha, love the part when your explaining the importance of new wires while rewriting the light. Your sense of humor is a lot like mine.
II think Phillip really should invest in a career as an influencer of electricians! Hope Anna feels better =)
Sounds like a good job plan
The room looks so lovely, inspiring and peaceful! Well worth the hard work you've both put into it. Well done! I vote for the hidden door as well -- it would be charming and magical!
The price you have to pay for being a celebrity, the Brad Pitt of Gonneville. How you manage not to laugh I don't know. Your vlogs are very entertaining!
Fabulous jacket and hope your wisdom teeth op goes OK. You both work so hard 👏👏👏
“And that’s how you become an influencer” lmao love it!
Such a lot of work on that chandelier. My goodness Philip, your perseverance paid off. With your electrical skills and Anna’s wonderful painting skills you are a great couple to have the Chateau....
I would try to keep the door as a door but disguise it as a bookcase/bar then you get both uses :)
Philip is always comical 😁😁
It has been decades since I have laughed out loud-today it happened- surprised myself, ha! Thank=you!
Wonderful makeover, well done guys! Also Philipp, your humour is adorable and makes me laugh every time. The fact that you guys manage to mix up things, be it carpentry, rewiring a chandelier, gardening or a full makeover - this is some quality content and I personally ver much appreciate that mix.
I love the idea for a hidden door. Maybe part of the laundry room could be a Butler’s Pantry connecting the dining room. ❤
I love watching your family as you continue to fix up your château. You daughters are adorable too. The laundry room is looking super. Great job on the painting Anna.
Sense of humor is a must especially during lock down and in any Reno projects. Hugs to you both.❤️
Your videos are always highlights and make my day! Love your humour and the editing room is eye candy! Thanks so much for letting us participate, look and laugh.
Phillip, is so funny ... his poses were good also! lol Love following your alls progress. Great hair cut ... The room is lovely!!! Great job...
Phillips dry sense of humor is hysterical !!!
I vote for the hidden door. Phillip looked very smart in his new jacket.
Love that there is stuff Philip is not supposed to touch! 😂 Thank you, you are both a delight to spend a little time with each week. It goes too quickly!
I let this serve as inspiration, Anna and Philip . I've been avoiding so many home improvements in the same time that you have renovated a chateau. The office looks wonderful and the laundry room has a great refresh. So meticulous and it shows. You can put drinks anywhere but a hidden door is priceless. What a great jacket. Yes, you could set a trend.
I vote for the Hidden Drinks Bar...accessible from both the laundry and the Dining Room.
10 years for the attic you say!.... We shall be here. 💝
Keep the hidden door that’s the authentic quirkiness of the Chateau 😌
My new favorite channel
Phillip a.k.a. Brad Pitt, you are hilarious...quick witted and Anna you know just how to answer him...I've said this many times before...love watching you two! You're getting me through these Covid times with your humour and down to earth family life!
I haven’t even finished watching this, just paused as Philip re-wires the light fixture, because his delivery and neutral facial expressions are both so perfect, that simple things become so freaking funny. “… especially if you like them…”. “It will take forever, like 30 minutes.”
