"When you were shopping for chateaus" has to be the best opening line ever! xo
K B 👍🏻👍🏻
Who doesn't want that to be their life? lol
We are out here! Looking at Chateaux d'Aubiry. Soon. Very soon.
I shop for a new tee shirt and enjoy it very much, never shopped for a chateau. One wonders what feels like.
It's just so many rooms...and all those trees oh my... claustrophobia I just now contracted it. No way out!!
I love his enthusiasm. He is worthy of this chateau, and is the type of person who should own a treasure like this.
He's like a giddy kid the night before Christmas! Or even after, "Look at This, & See This!" Jumping from here to there! He makes me feel it!
Lol, nobody on this earth is worthy of a chateau! Though you do deserve all the slavishness you willfully and delightfully accept without question.
So true!! ❤️
Good God he's got taste! The last chateau was beautiful, but this is next level!
flowerydave flowerydave Yes he does!!
You MUST take us back when Timothy has finished his renno! This is, by far, the most exciting video to date! I am over the moon for this chateau! I cannot wait to see all the blooming this place will be doing in the future.. Thanks again Susanna for sharing your travels with us! Wonderful, simply wonderful!
Amy Hoffmann it is our honor and pleasure!!
We hope to!! We can't wait to what magic Timothy weaves there!! - Stacey (behind the camera)
Thank you Stacey for all your efforts behind the camera! Really beautiful work and I appreciate it!
Thank you again Susanna for all your efforts! I love these videos!
@@TheTinywhitedove Thank you Amy!
I love seeing his excitement and that he’s not afraid to show it. So many hide excitement. Why? I too would be dancing through the fields!
Tim is the perfect person to restore this magnificent property I am so happy he bought it Bravo Timothy..
Nancy Whitehead Couldn’t agree more!
if he can re-do another chateau...I can re-do my bathroom...lol...I feel totally inspired...you are the best!
Pallatium you can do it LOL!
LOL - you can do it!!
I love that he's saving these old great houses not everyone can afford to take on work like this! I would love to work on something as historic and once in a life time as this!
I would love to know the history of this chateau and its inhabitants. I wonder how long ago someone has lived in it too? Simply gorgeous!
Timothy is doing a tremendous public service by restoring not one, but two Chateaus. What an incredible legacy.
Jhw Webster Totally agree snd this is actually his fourth chateau!
The French government (especially after his second Chateaux) should be more amenable and gracious to him.
i mean its not a public service. hes making money off of it of course. its being sold off to people. Unless it is being opened up to the public to visit then hes not doing the public service, the person who bought it is. hes just commissioned
@@KimmyQueen Two chateaux one chateau. It's French.
Only an American could say something so obnoxious.
this is why I laugh when I see those Los Angeles mega-mansions... look at this effing chateau...
Isn't it just beautiful? And stay tuned for when we bring you the "after" hopefully next yeaer!
@@quintessenceblg So looking forward.
@@quintessenceblg Any updates on Tims new chateau ? Please PS LOVE your channel -- Australia
Craig Parham Thank you!!! Did you see our video with Tim in his LA office discussing his color and fabric and color schemes for the chateau?
@@quintessenceblg watched it all Darl - need more !! xx thanks
This is SO stunning, it HURTS! That courtyard, that tree-lined backyard. Swoon.
Alicia Egan it is indeed beautiful! Glad you found it inspiring!
The way Timothy excitedly unwrapped the gift you brought him was priceless! Like a little kid on Christmas morning!
Loved it! Keep up the good work! Cheers!
We were so thrilled he liked it! And thank you!!
My favorite part!!
So cool! My mouth dropped even further when he referred to it as a ‘small chateau’....my units just a little bit bigger than the gap between the double-doored walkways 😝
Wow!! One of the most beautiful Chateaus I have ever seen! I can see why he was smitten with it!!! Just stunning!!!❤️🇨🇦
He's so excited about it. It makes me happy for him.
Susanna, Stacey and Timothy, thank you for the tour. Opening the door to each room was like opening a treasure chest. Your chateau is lovely. And, the light and grounds are magical. Thank you again for inviting us in.
Our complete pleasure!
It is our pleasure and it's true - the chateau and grounds are pure magic!
I couldn’t stop smiling! I loved his excitement! The gift was perfect.
Timothy is do brave to take on such an enormously fabulous and historic project at this stage. Not that he's old, but, after completing Chateau du Grande-Lucé I'd have just hung up my hat and licked my lips like a Cheshire cat at my accomplishment.
He is amazing. Looking forward to seeing the completed project.
He is indeed - both brave and amazing!! We hope to be able to bring you the finished project!!
Ah! But what might be of one person's dream that has a happy ending, might be another's dream that has no ending. 😉 I could see where restoration could become a lovely habit to form, but chateaus! I'm excited to see someone restoring such beauty and history. I hope it catches on so more will respectfully do the same. How does he contain himself?😍
He'll be onto something else after this one too. Is the creative process that lights him up.
I would LOVE to see the finished product after the renovation and decorations. It was infectious seeing him talk about and show off his new home.
We are planning to revisit and bring you the after - hopefully next year! Stay tuned!!
😊👍🏽 Thank you. Loved this. I just bought a new home so I'm so inspired by this even though my place is not a chateau. This was just lovely. Looking forward to the finished product...but I think I may have seen it. 😊
This is so incredibly beautiful. I am so happy for him. The owner is the type of person who should own this exquisite piece of history.
Couldn't agree more! And as soon as Timothy is finished and it is safe to travel again, we will bring you the finished chateau!
Very beautiful already...
I’ve been watching all your videos and this is by far my favorite. I love him. I would love to be his friend. I could listen to him all day describing everything. I felt his excitement and see his vision. I wish him the best. I hope he continues to enjoy the process even with Covid. Thank you to all for sharing their homes. ❤️
Delighted to hear it! We adore Timothy too and can't wait to go back to France once travel is safe again and bring you the finished chateau!
Timothy is so amazing and exuberant! as are his homes! He brings them back to life with such care and joy!!!
Couldn't agree more!
Dear Susanna and Stacey: thank you so very much for this gorgeous visit to Chevallerie....I cannot think of two more lovely friends to share this magical place with. Merci, merci! xoxo
Thank you for taking on this project and saving such an amazing property. Looking forward to seeing the results of your hard work & expertise.
Your friendship and talents are a true gift!!! We adore you. Stacey and Susanna
@@Eric-kf6dy As are we!!
❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations on such a beautiful house. A truly lovely place.
Incredibly romantic and beautiful!!
OMG don't we all wish we had such a place to live. I have no words, and watching this I was madly planning what I would put where etc.......lovely.
What a magnificent house! They sure don't build them like this anymore. Has a great feel to it. Can't wait to see it finished. Good on you Timothy for renovating it. Enjoy it
It's like little Versailles. Very beautiful chateau.
A question that no one will ever ask me: "When you were shopping for chateaus..." LOL
Chateaux. And anything is possible.
You never know 🤔
At age 64 I like to say that I have lived my life without envy but watching this I have felt a pang of what I can only imagine is ,,,, envy ! How on earth this chateau has survived intact over the centuries and not been vandalised by modernisation is a miracle ! Can't wait to see the results, would soooooooo love to see the process, my favorite part. Thank you girls xoxo
You are so very welcome and we did a little video in Tim's office in LA where he shared a bit of his process. Also, we will be back this fall to film the "after" - stay tuned!!
What an extraordinary man so full of warmth and love for France and its history.A most amazing acquisition. Loved the private chapel so very much a part of French history.
Bluewren Reilly All true - Timothy has a passion for France, it’s history and its decorative arts! Stay tuned for hopefully a video for after the renovation is complete!
At long last!!! I've been waiting for this video for so long. My heart skipped a beat when it appeared in my feed. I've watched it three times already! Timothy Corrigan is my absolute favorite designer. He is so warm and charming and passionate and that comes across in his design. He seems like a person you'd want to stay friends with too. I will be dreaming of the end result until I see what he does with the place. Although, personally I could move in right now with nothing other than an air mattress and be utterly content until I died. It is that gorgeous. The setting! My goodness. Just breathtaking.
jcrane45585 I’m so glad you loved! And Timothy is truly as special off camera as he is on!!
We adore Tim as well and this chateau is so very special!!
How amazing. I don't think I've seen a property like this ever ... its so perfect yet so in need of love & attention simultaneously. I can only imagine how fabulous it will be when Mr Corrigan works his magic on it. Damn the heating bills hand out down jackets to guests.
Good idea I like your attitude!
Love that suggestion!! And yes, it is a truly beautiful property!!
He is so sweet ! I wish him much happines in his new home.
When looking for Chateaus...its beautiful and all of the details are exquisite. Every single aspect is perfect, superfluous. My stars such beauty and exceptional detail and character and centuries of love and care and appreciation for its beauty.
Oh my gosh...this estate is magnificent. I can't wait to see the after! Peace friend. 🦋
Yes it is! And we can't wait to see the after either!!
This property has much more potential than Le Grand Luce, so much character here. I totally understand Timothy!!!I have no idea how to renovate it, it`s so much work. Moldings are insanely beautiful. He has the most amazing eye for beautiful things! I can`t wait to see the process results. GOOD LUCK, Tim!!!
Totally agree on all!! Stay tuned!
Invidio non il castello ma l'entusiasmo, la forza, la voglia di far fronte ad un simile immobile. Bravo. Complimenti
Wow, just amazing! I absolutely love Tim's passion & enthusiasm. What an incredible service this will be for the community. This couldn't be a better way to honor the craftsmanship of yesteryear.
Super Annie Oakley Couldn’t agree more! Glad you enjoyed!
@@quintessenceblg ❤
It is always nice to see very old architectural gems getting the love and attention they deserve for the present and for future generations as well!!! Hope Timothy lets us view the final transformation of this beautiful and historical property
Totally agree and fingers crossed!
What a beatiful place, so european, so detailed, full of art. Good luck with this proyect.
6.4.20 ~ Oh, my goodness! How fantastic Chateau de la Chevallerie will be once Timothy puts his vision into the realm of reality. I sure do hope that there will be revisits along the way. And what a super wonderful Chateau warming gift that Guest Book was! Than you, so very much for allowing us along for this first of many (I hope) visits to Timothy's French country home.
Thank you so much! We can't wait for Timothy to finish and to get back to film the "after."
Susan and Stacy thank you for this wonderful tour. The chateau certainly is a gem. Love to see it finished. Timothy is just the right person to own and restore it's charm. Your gift to him was a forever preserved memory of all the special guests he will entertain. I can't say it enough times how much I love your chanel. And all the talented designers you visit.I am inspired by all of them. Thank you. 💋
Thank YOU!!! We love our enthusiastic viewers like you - why we do what we do!! We will go back to Timothy's when he is done and it's safe to travel again!
I hope you show us room-by-room renovations in videos. The chateau is gorgeous!
We hope to be able to show the after when done....
@@quintessenceblg Even if it is a 30 or 40 minute video. I need to see it!
Absolutely stunning! I could watch this over and over again! Just spectacular!
Thank you!! Hopefully we'll get to bring you the after!
Not unheard of in these videos :-D
How exciting for you, Timothy, to be renovating such a jewel. I can't imagine the layers of history incorporated with the devotion of such love you must have for this beautiful chateau. You are undoubtedly the gentleman to be overseeing the renovations with your reverence to the past and your foresight to unveiling that which is yet to come. I can only hope there will be copious amounts of champagne to celebrate your achievements along the way.
Well done, Mr. Corrigan.
Darryl
Totally agree Darryl - the chateau should be thankful to be in Timothy's knowledgeable hands. Stay tuned for the "after" hopefully next year!
What a magnificent chateau, such detail in every room. What a undertaking to restore this country home, hats off to you Timothy Corrigan.
FriscoRed M. Indeed!!! And stay tuned for when we go back “after”!!
Quintessence I can’t wait!
Magnificent beauty!
Thank you!!!
That how you must spend your money. Love this man! He gives back to the Universe.👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Loved your beautiful tour, We lived in Chatellerault , courtesy of US Army in 1957-1958I saw many Chateaus in the Loire valley and enjoyed reliving the experience
gail goodstein Delighted to help recall such lovely memories. Glad you enjoyed!
What a beautiful Chateau! Thank you Timothy for sharing this "Sleeping Beauty". I can't wait to see its transformation! Susanna and Stacy you are the best when telling a story!
thegardengazer We can’t wait either - and thank you very much - we love giving design a voice!
This is a gorgeous château. Cannot wait to see the finished project
I am so grateful that there are people like him who have the means as well as the appreciation and enthusiasm to bring old buildings like this with their incredible are works back to life.
Amen!!
I live far away in Indonesia and am like most people unable to leave home during this corona virus. I cannot tell you what pleasure seeing such a beautiful house and the warmth and enthusiasm of Mr Corrigan brings me. How I miss the world. Thank goodness that there are people like Timothy in the world saving such grace and beauty that someone must have built with so much love once. God bless you, Mr Corrigan.
Thank you so much! I think we all miss the world but so glad you are able to derive some inspiration and enjoyment from our videos and Timothy's wonderful new chateau!!
Timothy Corrigan, a visionary , such enthusiasm , love his energy
Thank you Quintessence .
Mary Canada 🇨🇦
Our pleasure! We can’t wait to go back after Timothy is finished!
I am practically dumbfounded; the property is at once majestic and charming! What a marvelous treat you have given us to see the property before renovations (though heck, I would move right in). The details are splendid: everywhere you look there is magnificence to enchant the eye. Give me a holler if he needs help, I can cook(ish) and clean very well, LOL!
Eristhenes will let him know LOL! 👍🥂
LOL - will pass your offer on to Tim!
He has a youtube account send him a note and pass him your resume lol
I wasnt envious until he said sheeps will be roaming the fields 😄
Susanna and Stacey......you are an absolute integral part of my daily life!!!
Thank you a million times for exposing us to beauty and dreams like this!!!!!!
PLEASE take us back when the renovation is completed!
I BEG YOU!!!!!!!!
franz grabe Thank you so much Franz!! Delighted to be a part of your daily viewing and so enjoy your comments here! We will hopefully be bringing you the “after” of Tim’s magnificent chateau - stay tuned!!
Bravo! Someone has taken on a huge project to save this chateau in France. The amazing history and the lifetime of achievement for restoring such a gem will last for hundreds of years to come. Leave a legacy save a chateau, save a castle, save a Victorian. Just do it!
Totally agree - and stay tuned for the "after" - hopefully next year!
I want a room with the same Toile wallpaper. Love it. J'adore.
CajunLady I don’t blame you! Stay tuned for the “after” hopefully next year!
Yes thank you so much Timothy. That was beautiful. I know it would be more beautiful when finish
I always love all your videos in youtube. Keep it coming love all gbe houses you visit. Thank you so much for sharing these.
What a lovely man, and a treasure of a château!
Yes and yes! And stay tuned for the "after" coming hopefully next year!!
BE STILL MY HEART... My dream of one day owning a chateau in France, is mimicked in Timothy's enthusiasm with this MAGNIFICENT BEAUTY of his!!! WOW... ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!
I understand!! Be sure to check out our other chateau videos with Timothy....
No way ! I had no idea Timothy had purchased a new chateau!! lets hope he brings out a book with this one, too. Love the video as always, guys ❤️
Thank you Simon!!
Enjoyed immensely, had to watch in twice, can't wait to see the video when he completes it, I know it's going to be even more beautiful
Perfect person to own this historical beauty.So glad he mentioned the Egyptian artefacts/ inspiration. It’s a sign of someone who’s secure enough to acknowledge true history and essence civilisation. Much respect ....
Yes, Timothy is very knowledgeable!! Stay tuned for when we return after he is finished his renovation and decoration!
Best At Home episode yet! I’m almost as excited as he was! Please revisit this project as it progresses! Merci!!
Karen Milovich So glad you enjoyed! And when Tim is done and as soon as we can safely travel, we will return!
This is so magnificent that I don't even really know what to say!
It is indeed and stay tuned next year when we will hopefully bring you the "after"!
@@quintessenceblg Just don't make it only five or ten minutes long. This house deserves an hour.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful chateaux, I absolutely love the dining room, and the chapel, absolutely stunning
Those are both amazing spaces! Glad you enjoyed!
Benjamin Frazier 1 chateau, 2 chateaux
What a lovely man with extraordinary taste. Its like a french fairy tale! I love the chateau warming gift they gave him. He seemed to genuinely love it.What a beautiful legacy this man will leave behind!
Brittany Dumoulin Timothy is as kind as he is talented. We can’t wait to see the “after” of this amazing project!
He is so excited it's so beautiful I would be excited too if I was him. I get excited just watching him he seems like a kind and thoughtful man
He is!! We can't wait to return after Tim is finished!!
my face lite up when this video came up on my feed. I so look forward to these, thank you immensely!!💗
alvaro Lopez Mille mercis!!
Thank you so much Alvaro!!
Me too!
I am in love with that place! I felt the same way you all did, just watching from my computer! I can't wait to see it all come together for Timothy! Thank you for sharing!
Sweet dreams and happiness at the chateau, it deserves a fine steward to oversee the renovation.
Wow... What a wonderful adventure he has ahead to restore and personalize this amazing Chateau...
Hi Susanna and Stacy. When I first heard that Timothy had sold his beautiful
Chateaux, I was horrified. But his new Chateaux is magnificent. I am so happy
Timothy bought it because I know he will do a truly wonderful job.
Kind regards
Kate. X
Thank you Kate! We are sure he will too!! - Stacey
One chateau, two chateaux, please get it right
I am so glad Tomothy Corrigan bought this chateau .... he will do it proud !!!
LadyKoKo B Me too - totally agree!!
What a beautiful home. I hope we can see how he finishes and furnishes his new home.tfs
We hope we will be able to share the finished chateau when done!
And that guest book is the perfect gift! I love your handwriting as well...uber fancy!
Thank you so much!
I SO enjoyed this video. The estate is already magnificent. I can hardly wait to see it renovated and decorated! I will be one of the first on the list for the presale of his next book about this home.
Bonjour Suzanna and Stacey, usually I have comments, thoughts, sharing my feelings about a video. This time I am totally out of breath and no words come to my mind to describe what I saw ! One thing I am sure it will be so interesting to see the transformation of this Chateau. Just EPIC !! Much love and more love for you girls for bringing us to Timothy's Chateau. (( hugs )) P.s.: Many thanks to Timothy for letting us see this marvelous place.
Rosalind Hambleton Mille mercis!!
Thank you Rosalind!! It was epic for us as well!!
I am actually speechless! What an incredible château - and to take possession of it virtually intact, with all those breathtakingly beautiful boiseries still in situ and in such great condition.
Timothy Corrigan must surely be due some sort of recognition from the French government for his tireless efforts saving such important and historical patrimoine.
And what a perfect gentleman, too!
On the edge of my seat now for the next update...
While much of the beautiful boiserie remains, the chateau needs much work which you can be assured Timothy will do with style and sensitivity. And to your remark regarding recognition, Timothy is the only American designer honored by the French Heritage Society for his restoration of several national landmarks in France! Stay tuned as we bring you the "after" of the chateau, hopefully next year!
Quintessence Thank you very much for your reply and these great videos. I am so pleased Timothy’s important work has been acknowledged as it seems too few of these remarkable buildings in France receive the love and care they deserve. Perhaps it is just because there are so many of them?
In addition to the truly fabulous boiseries (Directoire/Empire is my thing) the garden follies were out of this world and must surely be contemporary with those of the Petit Trianon and the Desert de Retz. No doubt we will find out!
I am in the middle of my own (first) renovation project though it’s minuscule in comparison but I understand fully that the fun is in the process as much as the end result.
Luckily, Paris is very easy for me to access so I’m there often but those shots of you after leaving Timothy’s apartment somehow captured so perfectly the atmosphere of Paris that I’m simply itching to go back again very soon!
Incredibly beautiful... I'm getting envy😀 It is indeed something to dream of 😛
Oh. My. Goodness...
Completely understand the sale of the other chateau!
Timothy, I hope that’s not poison ivy!!! How wonderful for you and the chateau. I think its marvelous that you plan to bring this beauty back to its glory. Congratulations and good luck. Thank you Quintessence for bringing us to see this chateau. Looking forward to updates on its progress.
Our pleasure!! We are hoping to share the after!
Love the house, gardens, that long view........... and Timothy! Such wonderful enthusiasm which was so infectious. A joy to watch. Thank you as ever..................... x
Thank YOU Helen!! So glad you enjoyed. We adore Timothy and can't wait to go back once travel is again possible (and the chateau is completed) to document the "after"!
The gift at the end was very nice indeed. Now he will need a podium to put it on.
My FAVORITE Chateau ever❣
It's a beauty!
Cannot wait to see what he does with all that. I feel overwhelmed looking at it; I wouldn't know where to start!
We wouldn't either - Tim is the ultimate "chateau whisperer!"
I would start with the kitchen, the living area and my bedroom... maybe the front "yard"... but in reality I will start with plumbing, electric, gas, roofing, all that stuff and make sure the house is going to last another 200 years.
That's such a beautiful and thoughtful gift. Well done. And the Chateau; wow. The grounds made me cry.
Thank you!! Stay tuned for the after sometime next year!
One of my favorites, thank you for sharing. Timothy Corrigan is one of the best designers.
Our pleasure!1
Oh my word ... how absolutely magical! Susanna, I absolutely love every single one of your beautiful videos ... what a gift they are to us!! I am just in awe ...
Bonnie W thank you Bonnie!
I don't disagree
That was a wonderful tour. Thank you for highlighting some of the finer details and adornments of that magnificent chateau. I wish you much success preserving that gorgeous piece of history.
The chateau is in good hands. This gentleman is so enthusiastic. Oh to spend hours going through the place, the incredibly talented craftsmen have left a time capsule. So many lost skills. We are so busy looking for the next best thing that we forget to look back at what man has accomplished. Our future is in the past.
Couldn't agree more!! Stay tuned for our visit after the chateau is completed!
All the very best with this exquisite adventure. What a magnificent opportunity to bring it all back to life. 👍👍❤️❤️
Indeed!! Can’t wait to share the “after” once Timothy is finished and it’s safe to travel again!
Congratulations, Tim, it's awesome - what a great project for you....
Thank you for the tour!
When I first saw this video 5 years, well I almost had a nervous breakdown, no kidding. It took me back to my childhood living in France.
If I ever win the Lottery, my first phone call is to find a broker and call Timothy to get the ball rolling.
We all should have Dreams, what is yours?
❤️🇫🇷❤️
Wow. I wish I could stand in that chateau and feel the history of it all around me.
