Terry you cannot remove 3 beams, they are structural. Your upper floor will sag and eventually fall. You can add pieces to the outer ones to created the depth you want ( false ceiling) and the existing ceiling will be your centre . I’m sure I can have something drawn out if you need it.
The mouldings are beautiful. I would do every other panel - less is more 😉 The thin beading is better. Don't compromise the structural integrity taking beams out! Build a false ceiling, its tall enough!
Do not remove beams! Instead create a dropped ceiling around the center "raised" ceiling. You keep you house supported properly and the ceilings are plenty high anyway and your chandelier will be properly supported as well as everything on the floors above.
I agree, no point damaging structural integrity by removing beams, a dropped central section will create a similar effect, but in reverse to raising it.
If I were you, I wish, I would use a thin strip to join everything together on the panel. Another thought would be a thin strip of flowers, different kinds to join the corners. Make a few and see what you like. After staring at it, what if you took the large mold made another one and put it upside down, like a mirror image then come up with something in the middle but nothing touching. I think that would look so pretty.
I think cutting the piece with the crosses on in half, lengthways, so that you only have the crosses would be an interesting idea to try. It leaves a straight back, to almost frame the entire panel. I think that would draw the eye in. Also: do not remove the beams!! That will weaken the floor above. If anything, add a layer of oak to the beams you want to accent and thus lower the ceiling height only along those beams. It need only be 5centimetres to give the effect you want, without damaging the entire chateau by removing its support.
Terry, in most cases, “Less is more” The intricate detail on the trim you are adding to each of the four corners of the panels does not need any strips no matter how thin or narrow. Normally I would never tell you what to do but in this case I say “Stop fiddling!” 🥰 When you have finished doing the entire room you will see that’s a lot of detail which won’t need any more. I love you to bits Terry because you are brilliant at what you do but listen to a 71 year old who has decorated many homes “A la Francaise” xxxx 💕🥰💕🥰💕 big hug from Alex in Florida
I think that you would be better to drop the ceiling a little on the edge which will create the coffrered "tray" ceiling you envisage. I would strongly recommend against removing beams. The mouldings are fabulous.
@@chateaudelalacelle Terry, pourquoi ne pas faire tes moulures en plâtre, et pour éviter de les casser au démoulage, badigeonne au pinceau, du " talc de démoulage " Moins cher ! , et séchage plus rapide. Et puis, si cassé, rapide à recoller, Super glue-3, par exemple, invisible sur le mur...
Removing the beams to create a tray ceiling might also create a sound funnel effect to your apartment upstairs, with little space for sound insulation.
Try leaving 25mm or so between the straight trim and the corner molding. It should look like a frame but keep the visual lightness to keep the detail of each element
The beams are vital to the stability of the chateau. They must remain in place. I cancelled purchase of a beautiful place because a structural engineer warned me the beams were compromised when plumbing was installed. I have owned a home where steel I beams had to be installed for stability. I was a very expensive thing to do.
You can use soutache braid - starch it - put it on the wall and paint over it. An interior designer friend of mine does that on ceiling moldings and it looks great.
The moulding is beautiful, the thinner the better, dainty is best with the design. Don't remove the beams, keep the integrity of the Chateau. Dream big, be sense able.
terry if you want to take out the beams you will need to get a structural engineer to calculate steel replacements to make sure you dont mess with the structural integrity of the building. you dont want to ruin all your hard work
Flipping the wall panels was the perfect solution to complement the moldings! I love these features. I agree to use a small, tiny, tiny size wood frame to tie the moldings together.
Moldings look great , the second option with a thinner thinner wooden sounds great. About the bedroom ceiling...at home oir dinner room has that kind of volume you are trying to create, instead of removing beams how about lowering the sides, living the center as is. It creates the same feeling, and it would be very cozy...
What about a finer beaded - string of pearl - molding? If would pick up the beading in the large molding 😉 I like tour vision for the ceiling but rather than take structural beams out, could you not achieve a faux look by dropping the ceiling with a recessed insert?
I would suggest picking up powder pigments for resin, I found that mixing paint in resin can stop it from curing properly. The appliqués are stunning btw! ❤
Terry as talented as you are, paint a trompe l’oeil tre ceiling or source it out. It will be stunning as are the other ceilings in other rooms. I don’t like to think of those beautiful beams leaving the room.
Yes Terry it needs a thin half round beading something plain to complement the mouldings. But please get a structural engineer in first before removing any beams. X
I learn sooo much from your hard work! Your team can take the worst state of this Chateau and turn it around when most would cringe at the prospect! You all have similar expectations and work ethics… show us viewers a meal with you all. Sharing past experiences and finds on the property and a relaxing time together in the 🌞 sunshine. Thank you lovely people from Spokane, Washington ❤
They look amazing. I think the tinier the better, something simple so that the feature pieces stand out. I believe you will make the right choice regardless.
Terry, the moldings on the bottom corners stand alone quite nicely, they do not have to have that bar added - they do not have to visually 'weight' the same as the top, I hope you will keep it just the way it stands (with guilding of course)
I agree Terry, the cross pattern is too much. You will figure it out, you always do. I still think flipping the panels was the most ingenious idea ever, its stunning with that moulding! 😍
At the moment, because of the height of that panel, with the larger centered molding at the top it is lacking spacial balance. A very thin molding between all the corner moldings is needed to keep the proportions correct. It does not need to be a solid contiguous molding though. The sides could also have a feature molding midway to help soften the top heavy feel of the current moldings. Consider moving the centered feature molding at the top down a bit and perhaps add a strip of graduated sized bell flower moldings to elongate it further and visually link it to the bottom corner moldings so the entire panel works as a single unit.
The mouldings are beautiful. I'm surprised at the amount of the intricate detail it retained. Well done you. Take care and keep well until the next video. X❤😊
How genius to make your own molds! Love the design on the panels, really adds elegance to the space. Do you really need to add trim? Once the gilding is done, they will pop all in thier glory on there own. If you have to, perhaps a very thin line of gold just enough to accentuate rather than take away from. I am sure, whatever you choose, it will look absolutely amazing when it is done! ❤
Those moldings are beautiful. I don't think you need a thin bead molding on the bottom, but it is your vision, and you have amazed us all, including yourself. Awesome work all.❤
I’m in agreement with NOT removing beams . Not unless you get a structural engineer opinion. You got great vision and beautiful Ideas . But even a designer needs a reality check from an structure engineer. You may find it can be done but the expense may not be cost effective or it all may be easier than you thought. If the engineer says yes then by all means do it. I’m excited to see the mouldings and I know you will figure out the border. Beautiful job ! I’m so proud of you all and Jonathan is just growing into a wonderful young man !
Hi all how about something that’s delicate scrolling leafy flowers between the molding. Something that would show the wall color through the scrolling. Love all the resin work very inspiring 😊
Master Craftsman Terry strikes again. The moldings are beautiful. I agree with your idea of a thinner trim. Maybe 1/2 the width of the red one. I wouldn't touch the structural beams. I'd work around them. I'm sure Terry has an amazing idea tucked away in his head that would work perfectly with those beams. Terry surprise us!!!
The molding to tie the other pieces together,with the knots, if you can take the plain section of so split it in half, I think just the knots part on its own would look good, and as others have said, no Terry don't remove any beams lol create the depth you want with a drop ceiling, heck you could even put in a stained glass panel backlit in the center ;)
For the trim molding, can you use just the top half of the "x' molding instead of the entire piece? That would be more in alignment with the size of the corner moldings.
The moldings are so pretty that anything in between ( trim pieces) should be simple and elegant so as not to distract the eye from the elegance of the moldings. Even just a simple half round could be pretty. I understand that the style of the period can be quite ornate, yet the moldings themselves are just so grand. What a great idea to use the red so it's a perfect base for the gold. You are all amazing.
I would also advise against interfering with the building structure. It is fundamentally impossible to estimate how the building will “behave”. If you don't reject the idea, I would definitely call in a structural engineer.
I am with Tracy and Ash in the panic-nervous-scared group on "removing 3 beams" from the ceiling. I didn't quite understand what your reason was for that, Terry. I like the same bars you used in before with the "x's that you gold leafed. Might as well carry the style on. It turned out beautifully. 24 panels full of molding is a lot, I must say. What will you do about hanging paintings with all that molding? Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will turn out magnificently .
Terry - suggestion for the "bars" design you need to join the mouldings together: The first option you showed - the one from the 400 suite with the "crosses" on it... can you cut the plain part off that moulding so that you just have the more delicate " crosses" part? I think a thinner, but decorated bar would look elegant with the detailed moulding you are putting on the panels.
Unbelievable. I was almost willing to bet that with all the intricacies in that large piece that some of the mold would have stuck to the piece, but no. Of course not! You are one lucky, and very talented, young man, Terry. All of you together are all so talented in so many ways. That chateau is a very lucky place indeed.
I love the trompe d’oeil idea that Adrian considered….it would be a great idea for a fake window with a picture of the landscape from other side of chateau. I think to put all that molding on every panel is heavy. A “window “ would lighten it up.
I would like to see just the four corners with the moldings then the large piece that you have near the top of the panel moved down so the bigger part sits just above the center of the panel with the tapered part just below the center. In the States we call the ceiling you are describing a tray ceiling. I think it is a great idea! You should definitely do it in at least one bedroom. Or Maybe it would look better in a room with just panels, no molding on the panels competing with the tray ceiling. Love your channel.
I think a fine open type of scroll work connecting the other pieces of scrollwork would look better than something solid. A solid piece distracts from the delicate scroll work because it looks too “heavy” with the finer pieces.
You're going to make another amazing suite!! I love the way your eyes twinkle when you're talking about your design ideas, Terry. And when you talk about Ash and your mom's reaction to removing a few beams! I trust that you know what you're doing. Perhaps a very fine rope twist or something like a fine string of pearls would be a nice way to join the moldings? I think you already have a great idea. Can't wait to see your vision come to reality. Ash, I can't wait to see you gardening full time again, although the you digger use must do a number on your back with all that rattling around you do when you're digging.
I would put trim and the large moulding in one panel and the corner pieces on their own in the next panel so it’s not overwhelming. You didn’t like it when someone reproduced your idea with the panelling but that’s what you are doing by using someone else’s wooden mouldings and using them to create your moulds to produce them with the resin. If you cut away three beams you could seriously affect the structural integrity especially if it’s three together. I’m not surprised your mum and Ash had a fit. You need a structural engineer before cutting away beams.
Our structural engineer, Dominick said you absolutely cannot take out the beams. You are compromising your entire structure. You’re very talented. Just dress it up. Also, the thinner frame definitely would be the best.
Take the first band, cut the bottom off and use only the band that has the cross in it. That is so beautiful, especially when you enhanced the crosses. As always, whatever you do it will be magnificent!
Lovely looking moulding,should look brilliant when you have painted them,keep up the great work your doing,the place is looking beautiful,I’m impressed by your dedication to bringing the château back to its former glory
White walls gold wallpaper and gold accents for the room you don’t have the color for. This is a timeless color scheme and one which I I have seen in many castles I toured. Very beautiful and rich look.you could take some width off the bars but I don’t think it looks too wide. It nearly the width of the moldings. Boxing in the molding with the straight trim looks very nice.
Moulding suggestion: in between the raised mouldings use gilding paint alone on the paneling. In fact, if you opt to paint the recessed frames within the paneling itself you solve two issues. 1. No need to make 100 straight pieces 2. You don't have to add more raised molding to the bottom panels, or at least not as many.
Terry, as always, trust your decorative instincts. They never fail! Even when you had the straight border pieces in your hand, they both looked too wide. Would it be possible to make the border again but only half the width with the detailed portion? No matter what you do, it will be gorgeous. I’m looking forward to the color choice you make for the Marie Antoinette bedroom. I love that you are considering going more bold. A chateau is a place where dreams can unfold and use color and style that our ordinary homes cannot pull off. Go with your instincts and go for it! It will be spectacular!
I am sure that you can come up with a fantastic idea for the bedroom ceiling without damaging the overall chateau historical structure by removing beams. (You need all that beam depth space insulated also for noise to avoid that guests can hear you walking about upstairs.)
Be nice to make up some flower boxes for the front of mum’s cottage and fill with pretty flowers for summer as she is so devoted to working tirelessly on your huge project. She is so amazing…just an idea…
Terry what ever you decide to do in the red room will be beautiful I'm sure. You are there and we aren't so it's hard for us imagine the scope of the room having the silicone designs on each panel. I do like the idea of the thinner trim between the two silicone pieces. I also wouldn't take out the 3 beams, I'm sure there is another way to design the ceiling to have a two demention look without removing the beams. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
Terry - I understand your conversations with Ash from both sides. When I asked my beloved husband of 64 years why he always started with No, he grinned and said because he was married to someone who always started with Yes. I came up with extravagant ideas, he said no and then started to think how it could reasonably done. We always worked our way through each thing, made more easy for us as I cared about how things looked and he cared about our enormous sound system and our music. It is always about the underlying love and building from there. We had it and so do the two of you. And about the connecting moldings, you are right - small and simple with the right curves on the straight lines - meaning the shape of the small straight line. And YES to the coved ceiling, of course. You will get there after some negotiation.
Terry you cannot remove 3 beams, they are structural. Your upper floor will sag and eventually fall. You can add pieces to the outer ones to created the depth you want ( false ceiling) and the existing ceiling will be your centre . I’m sure I can have something drawn out if you need it.
A very thin elegant line would look fabulous. The moldings are ornate enough in their own right to not need anything more:))
I agree with dropping the ceiling center instead of removing beams. Keep all the stability you can in the old girl!!! 😂😂😂
I agree with you, Terry: the more delicate and thin the connecting wood trim pieces the better they’ll look, I think.
Thanks Wendy 🥰
Agree. I think a very thin half round trim would be nice.
Agree - can the thinner piece still have the "x"es?
A thinner moulding would be nice with a string of pearls as part of the design. Using resin.
I wonder if BBQ sticks are too delicate?
A structural engineer 's opinion will be needed to even estimate if taking beams out would affect the stability of the chateau.
The mouldings are beautiful. I would do every other panel - less is more 😉
The thin beading is better.
Don't compromise the structural integrity taking beams out! Build a false ceiling, its tall enough!
i agree …It can be a bit overwhelming with so much molding on each panel
I agree too…alternate panels would emphasise the intracacy.
No Terry, do not remove beams, the chateau needs them. Extravagant already exists, do mot overdo it.
I agree…create around them❤
I agree, less is more. Simple is more sophisticated.
Do not remove beams! Instead create a dropped ceiling around the center "raised" ceiling. You keep you house supported properly and the ceilings are plenty high anyway and your chandelier will be properly supported as well as everything on the floors above.
Thanks for the tips!
I agree, no point damaging structural integrity by removing beams, a dropped central section will create a similar effect, but in reverse to raising it.
Just three beams...how fantastic it is to have the Chateau to get all your design ideas to life ❤
Plus if you remove those beams you won’t have anything to attach a chandelier to! Lol
If I were you, I wish, I would use a thin strip to join everything together on the panel. Another thought would be a thin strip of flowers, different kinds to join the corners. Make a few and see what you like. After staring at it, what if you took the large mold made another one and put it upside down, like a mirror image then come up with something in the middle but nothing touching. I think that would look so pretty.
I wouldn't be removing any beams. And I also know you'll design around them beautufully without doing so. 😊
Thank you 🙏😊
Molding is beautiful. Do every other panel, that way you only need 11. The plain panels would work to rest the eyes.
Very thin Plain strip to compliment the ornate design
You have to think about the integrity of the building. Removing beams can create more damage.
Thanks Claudette 🥰🥰
Agree with most comments about thin lining on moldings, do every other panel and don't remove beems :D
I always like seeing the opening, and the cottage chimney has smoke curling up. I really did like how that got renovated.
Thanks zach 🥰
I think cutting the piece with the crosses on in half, lengthways, so that you only have the crosses would be an interesting idea to try. It leaves a straight back, to almost frame the entire panel. I think that would draw the eye in. Also: do not remove the beams!! That will weaken the floor above. If anything, add a layer of oak to the beams you want to accent and thus lower the ceiling height only along those beams. It need only be 5centimetres to give the effect you want, without damaging the entire chateau by removing its support.

I enjoy seeing Terry in creative process😊
The moulds look brilliant. I think a very slim barley twist style rod for the moulding connection strips would be nice and elegant too.
You're going to make another amazing suite!! I love the way your eyes twinkle when you're talking about your design ideas, Terry. And when you talk about Ash and your mom's reaction to removing a few beams! I trust that you know what you're doing. Perhaps a very fine rope twist or something like a fine string of pearls would be a nice way to join the moldings? I think you already have a great idea.

Ash, I can't wait to see you gardening full time again, although the you digger use must do a number on your back with all that rattling around you do when you're digging.
Definately the thinner trim. A more delicate look will provide a classier design
Make the ceiling contour with the existing beams. Risky otherwise! Also your instinct about the trim seems spot-on.
I would put trim and the large moulding in one panel and the corner pieces on their own in the next panel so it’s not overwhelming. You didn’t like it when someone reproduced your idea with the panelling but that’s what you are doing by using someone else’s wooden mouldings and using them to create your moulds to produce them with the resin. If you cut away three beams you could seriously affect the structural integrity especially if it’s three together. I’m not surprised your mum and Ash had a fit. You need a structural engineer before cutting away beams.
You need a pencil line moulding to connect the corners
Remember, removing three ceiling beams is also removing three joists that support the floor of your apartment!
I think simple trim in between the moldings. They’re gorgeous. 💖
It would be lovely to see the sitting room done.
Whatever Terry decides will be perfect
I think you are right about the thinner wood beading the moulding are lovely. It sounds abit scary removing beams 😂❤
I like it how it is without the frame pieces. I think the raised panel edge is the frame and the corner decorations and center piece is all you need.
Keep it simple with connecting the moldings. Will make them POP.
Going to be Amazing. ❤❤❤
Our structural engineer, Dominick said you absolutely cannot take out the beams. You are compromising your entire structure. You’re very talented. Just dress it up. Also, the thinner frame definitely would be the best.
Agree with all the other comments to not remove support beams. Love the molding designs 😍😘
Take the first band, cut the bottom off and use only the band that has the cross in it. That is so beautiful, especially when you enhanced the crosses. As always, whatever you do it will be magnificent!
Cathedral ceiling wow can’t wait
You have done an amazing job with the mouldings! The thinner the connector pieces the better❤
Lovely looking moulding,should look brilliant when you have painted them,keep up the great work your doing,the place is looking beautiful,I’m impressed by your dedication to bringing the château back to its former glory
White walls gold wallpaper and gold accents for the room you don’t have the color for. This is a timeless color scheme and one which I I have seen in many castles I toured. Very beautiful and rich look.you could take some width off the bars but I don’t think it looks too wide. It nearly the width of the moldings. Boxing in the molding with the straight trim looks very nice.
From a distance the wood trim looks fine not to wide.follow your gut youre a star with styl 🎉❤
Yes! Thank you!☺️
Try using small beads type trim for the panels. Everything is looking so beautiful.
Moulding suggestion: in between the raised mouldings use gilding paint alone on the paneling. In fact, if you opt to paint the recessed frames within the paneling itself you solve two issues.
1. No need to make 100 straight pieces
2. You don't have to add more raised molding to the bottom panels, or at least not as many.
You have good instinct! Believe in yourself!!! Keep it up!!! You guys have amazing talent don’t question yourself! You got this!!!! ❤
More Moldings .... great additions to the chateau. Can't wait to see where these moldings are going to end up.
Thanks John 🥰🥰
loving that post-metal-shoegaze is so mainstream it's used in chataou videos :)
Terry, as always, trust your decorative instincts. They never fail! Even when you had the straight border pieces in your hand, they both looked too wide. Would it be possible to make the border again but only half the width with the detailed portion? No matter what you do, it will be gorgeous. I’m looking forward to the color choice you make for the Marie Antoinette bedroom. I love that you are considering going more bold. A chateau is a place where dreams can unfold and use color and style that our ordinary homes cannot pull off. Go with your instincts and go for it! It will be spectacular!
I am sure that you can come up with a fantastic idea for the bedroom ceiling without damaging the overall chateau historical structure by removing beams. (You need all that beam depth space insulated also for noise to avoid that guests can hear you walking about upstairs.)
Be nice to make up some flower boxes for the front of mum’s cottage and fill with pretty flowers for summer as she is so devoted to working tirelessly on your huge project. She is so amazing…just an idea…
Terry what ever you decide to do in the red room will be beautiful I'm sure. You are there and we aren't so it's hard for us imagine the scope of the room having the silicone designs on each panel. I do like the idea of the thinner trim between the two silicone pieces. I also wouldn't take out the 3 beams, I'm sure there is another way to design the ceiling to have a two demention look without removing the beams. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
Terry - I understand your conversations with Ash from both sides. When I asked my beloved husband of 64 years why he always started with No, he grinned and said because he was married to someone who always started with Yes. I came up with extravagant ideas, he said no and then started to think how it could reasonably done. We always worked our way through each thing, made more easy for us as I cared about how things looked and he cared about our enormous sound system and our music. It is always about the underlying love and building from there. We had it and so do the two of you. And about the connecting moldings, you are right - small and simple with the right curves on the straight lines - meaning the shape of the small straight line. And YES to the coved ceiling, of course. You will get there after some negotiation.
The braided rope in the pattern would be lovely as the completed molding
