    I have been watching this channel for slightly over a year. Several times I have had chills at the beauty that Stephanie shows in fabrics, plates, gardens, dresses, etc. But, today, I think I literally could cry at the thought that LaLande will be the repository for such magnificent paneling. This is historic and incredible. For generations LaLande will be the home for paneling that dates before the French Revolution. Just amazing.

The extra videos with behind the scenes footage and interviews are just great! I'm so excited to see the progress and knowing that I'm helping with it is very fun!

If you get hold of a metal grate doorstep, you can simply lay the tiles on it, and very easily grate the lime cement of in 30 seconds max! Quick and easy 😊 And if you just use the bottom of the doorstep, you can just turn it back around, and use it - as a doorstep again 😉

    First, Stephanie, you and your dress for your Zoom meeting - beautiful. The paneling for the Grande Salon is beyond incredible. Selmar has made yet another wonderful contribution to Lelande with the compost bin. Ian is moving quickly on Nati’s apartment. I have no doubt it will be another wonderful space. And the China pantry...also is moving quickly. I think the hexagon floor tiles and the hexicon cabinet will make another incredible “statement” space within Lalande. It is all beyond exciting! 🤗❤️

    Simply incredible. What more can be said about the arrival of the 18th century paneling. After watching over 200 vlogs to date, this has to rank as one of the most exciting. So much progress, so much hard work and such great talents gathered together to bring Chateau Lalande back to its former glory as a masterpiece of design, craftmanship and absolutely breathtaking beauty. Quite a moving tribute to the lady who had a big dream, has never given up and is now living that dream. That you, Stephanie, for sharing with us a monumental treat to be admired for centuries to come.

      Sadly, too many ancient valuable French properties (townhouses, chateaus, etc.) end up being sold bit by bit, starting with the lands when there are some, then the furniture, the paneling, mantlepieces and sometimes even the rest (that is destroying the house entirely). But as you rightly say, it is some confort to see that at least these panels will be reused in some other historical property.

      @@JoeDurobot Yes, this is true, but in this case, they say the paneling comes directly from the townhouse it was in and for which it was probably created in the first place.
      What’s worst is when perfectly preserved estates get torn to pieces and the bits sold abroad.
      At least, Stephanie’s reusing this paneling in a French chateau where many will be able to see it, on UA-cam at least and maybe on site for B&B patrons.
      I hope all of this will be restored and installed _dans les règles de l’art_ though...
