Now that you reminded me of what the house previously looked like, I am in total astonishment. You have done such an incredible job inside the out. Absolutely marvelous.
Your vision is coming to fruition have followed from the beginning ❤
Oh I remember when you were doing this ! I never thought you would be able to clean everything up, but you certainly did !!! Great job!!!
@@hildaovalle1455 imo astonishing urban homes were built at curbs in city. We are used to suburbs.
Neighbours must be so happy with having that place fixed up and soon, people living there.
What a happy house you have made from a uninhabitable mess. You have such vision and talents. 🎉
I had forgotten how the stairs were right at the front door. Now just one set of stairs does it all. Labor of love and vision of the possible. Congratulations!
Looking back at the mess it was in at the start WOW what a change. ED visualising what he could do with it is just amazing!!
Edd, I find it truly stunning how much you and Anna have accomplished in a single year with so many other things happening in your lives (running a business, maintaining a chateau, and raising children). Also want to compliment your engineering skills and design acumen. Whoever ends up living in this beautifully refurbished home will be thrilled. Well done!
You, Anna, Cyril and Louis worked hard to change this damaged built to a gem for the neighborhood. Good job.💖💖💖
Wow that outdoor space is far larger than I thought it was! Great work Ed! Love from across the pond! Missouri, USA
What you have achieved in just one year especially with all your other commitments is simply amazing. Stunning transformation ❤
Definitely a labor of love and passion for what you do. Sending love and good energy to you, Anna, Cyril and one of the most amazing humans…Louis. ✨✨✨✨
What an accomplishment! My artist’s eye can see a beautiful garden scene painted on the blank walls of the courtyard. You’ve created a little gem, well done!
What an amazing transformation. The front door once it is in place will further enhance the beautiful facade. I imagine it will be the nicest looking house on the street.
Thus is one of my FAVORITE BUILDS!!!
The two of you make watching so fun, and the magic you've created with these spaces is impressive to say the least!!
Every room is looking SO GREAT!!
I just love it!!!
I live in a small space - on purpose.
Small spaces are a pleasure to live in when they are well built & done with quality materials & good taste.
I feel the little home you're creating would be wonderful to live in!
So exciting to see both upper windows with their wrought iron balustrades/railings/window guards! Love it!!! Can’t wait for the door!!!🩷👏🏻👏🏻
You guys are really doing a stunning job on this place. It’s been fun to watch from the beginning. Boy it was a ruin! And with such a sad past. This new life you’re bringing to it is nothing short of magical.
Great transformation! Worth all the hard work. So nice to see Anna in front of the camera. She looks very lovely in her new hairstyle. 😊
Unbelievable makeover so far. Hard to comprehend it all you both are so dedicated to making this project so successful…it’s a credit to you to see it so far….love it all. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
LOVE the exposed stonework in the bedrooms!
It’s looking incredible, I love the wood in the outside area, it gives a warm feel to it, Ed the detail you put in is worthy of a patience medal.🙏🏻🇬🇧
Ed and Anna ~ you’ve done it again!! A lovely transformation!! ❤ 👋 🇦🇺
Such exquisite touches! I know it will be magnificent when finished! Merveilleuse!!!!!
Gosh! It’s amazing how much you have done. Brought it back to life. It will be lovely. I’ve been watching since you started work on it. I bet the neighbors are thankful to you and the lovely Anna.
What a change! I've watched this horrible old, rotten house transform into a beautiful home. You folks have done a fantastic job. I love the new layout, stonework, color palette, and gorgeous windows.
Just gobsmacked how you envisioned this once wreck of a house.
Amazing.
Wow, what an amazing transformation. The house is looking incredible. Congratulations, Ed and Anna, on the work so far in creating a beautiful home.
It’s so wonderful seeing these old historic homes brought back to life! Great job!! People like Edd and Anna with vision saving history 🎉🎉🎉
Amazing job Ed, great vision and planning, thank you for sharing 😊
I remember when you and Anna first showed us inside. I was like, “ oh my goodness run home and get into the shower!”
What a beautiful transformation. Can’t wait to see more. And Anna’s touches of greenery out on that pretty outdoor corner.
Omg! Watching every week you forget what it looked like !
Amazing work as always , was nice to see Anna in front of the camera xx
Love how you have transformed this house.
Great idea to have a half bath there! Americans will appreciate not having to climb stairs to use the toilet!! Love your laundry/utility room too!
the house looks so stunning now - the change was magic, also the neighborhood must be happy about the neat appearance from outside 👍
The neighbourhood is a "little tired" also so it might encourage others to improve their lot, or most probably an influx of younger people to improve it once they can see the "finished" potential!?!
Remarkably coming together from mess to a beautiful living space, good design upstairs and downstairs 👏👏👏👏👏🥰
Can’t wait to see it finished and decorated 😊
"memery lane" is memory lane....love the work you have done...have been following it all along!
When vision, courage and skill coincide.
You guys have truly brought this little house back to life! It is absolutely an amazing project when seen from the start. It was really in bad shape but your vision and energy brought it back. The light filled spaces and interior finishes are perfect. It all flows. Congratulations!
It has been a pretty amazing journey for you guys, glad to see Anna got a cheeky bum shot of Louis in, well done Anna 😂😂. Great job guys and Thank you for the last year K🇬🇧❤️❤️
Love you Anna and Ed. It is looking beautiful.💙💙💙❤❤❤
Edd and Anna, I had forgotten how pitifully awful the condition of this house was. What a transformation thus far. I am looking forward to even more reveals of your talents in future episodes. 😊 xxx
We've not seen so much of Anna lately but I am loving the new haircut - it makes you look so much younger! I am amazed at the vision you had, Ed, turning a rabbit warren of miserable little rooms into such an airy space. I also love the stone walls you exposed and jointed up to keep visible - the natural material adds a warmth that no paint or covering could ever hope to imitate. Lovely job, guys. Really looking forward to seeing the build progress toward completion now!
Always lovely to see Anna in front of the camera. Great work guys it’s coming together and looking good
Its looking fabulous Ed and Anna.
❤🎉
Well done 👏
😊
I've watched the entire renovation from the day you signed the papers. It's quite stunning to see the before and after views of the property. I must admit, when you first purchased it, my gut reaction was "ugh", but you have done a magnificent job! I can't wait to watch your continuing efforts. I'm especially looking forward to seeing the front door installed!
Edd, when you both showed this house at the start, I thought you are as nuts as Dan buying that burnt out chateau, but now look at you both. You, Anna, Louis, and Cyril have turned this into a beautiful home. My favorite part is the outdoor seating area. Anna, your hairdo looks beautiful. Much love to you all.❤
I'm SO looking forward to my move in date.
Edd, Anna the renovation is coming together nicely.
Oh my goodness it was a disaster when you first got the little Biloux house. You’ve done so much work Ed it’s amazing. Beautiful transformation thank you Ed and Anna love the videos
So glad to see how you all are transforming this sad ruin. I can't wait to see the real awesome door installed! It is amazing all that you all have done. So much fun to follow your restoration. The new roof if awesome. I love this garden space, you had a great vision Edd. I love that you and Anna save these abandoned places and you restore beauty and new life to them. I love seeing how the children have grown!!! Little Emma is a big girl now! Charles are adorable. All the best!
I had forgotten how TERRIBLE the house was! The transformation is incredible!! Some family is going to be thrilled with renting the fantastic home❤❤❤
Amazing to see how far you've come. Looking fabulous.
Seeing it from the start is amazing. You have done a wonderful job.
Ed the visionary, well done
I certainly couldn’t see what you saw all those months ago 👍🏼
best wishes to you
Brilliant work Ed 👏👏 and as always great camera work Anna 👏👏
The kitchen wasn’t discribed. I know it’s downstairs. Love what you have done to this missable looking building. Great insight, Edd and Anna.
Edd and Anna you guys have done an outstanding job, your stone work rehabilitation is gorgeous ❤
you should get some kind of award or official recognition for rehabilitating such a dilapidated house. what progress!
Fabulous love it. Well done. 👏
I was in two minds whether the roof would look better as wood or painted white, but I think Anna's idea of white wash sounds like a happy balance between the two. Your hair looks great Anna.
Your hard work is paying off❣just splendid!!! , your children are growing up so fast and looking lovely too 👫 TY
Talk about having a vision! You turned that vision into reality.
What a wonderful transformation
Wow! 😮after watching this, I’m going to clean up my house and organize my office. This is an inspiration. I shouldn’t be complaining and appreciate everything I have, thank you for sharing this.
I hope the occupants share their first look and impressions. It'll be a lovely home.
Ed, I love that you had a vision for this place from the start, I definitely could see the courtyard. I think I'll always see that red, which reminded me of a Chinese room, and of course that beautiful lace cannot wait until Anna puts her touch to it ( shoutout mention to Louie for all his work) 😂😂😂, so far so good 😊
Amazing transformation of a decaying garbage dump! Congratulations Edd and Anna for being able to envision what was possible and the determination, discipline, and skills to bring your vision to a near completion! Anna good job capturing the reno on film so we could come along on your journey! Love from USA.🇺🇸
Definitely transformation extrordinaire!! Well done Ed and Anna!
bravo Ed, on te garde en France!
You guys are amazing.
love the hair anna. ed your amazing. what a difference a year makes.
It's looking fantastic, Edd and Anna!👍👍
OMG Guys, This is simply amazing what you have accomplished in a year's time. I thought you were crazy and held little hope that you'd finish the project when you first showed us the building. BOY!! was I wrong!! I am so glad for you. 🤩 Lots of love from Gene in Tennessee.
Really a great layout, so nice to see it after all you told us about it Edd! Great work, great camera work Anna as usual, love the haircut! Children adorable! Looking forward to that door being hung! 👏🏻
Ed and Anna, Thank you so much for doing this. I had missed the original VLOG where you bought the property and carried out demolition. It is so interesting to see this quick summary from start to today. You two are very talented. Your vision is delightful and you are executing it very well. I will keep watching this, your life at the chateau and any other project you tackle. Best of luck from a French Canadian born in Montreal.
You had an amazing vision when you first purchased the house One that not many others would have had Having followed you from the start I’m so impressed with the outcome
Who ever gets to live there is going to be living in one of the very best renovation projects No expense has been spared The build is of such a high end spec and you should be so very proud of yourselves ❤
You are truly miracle workers!!! This project is going to be someone's forever home and you've made that possible!!!
What a difference a year makes. Your vision has come to life. Ed you and Anna are great team. Looking forward to seeing the end results I'm sure the neighbours are grateful you bought this property.
I’m amazed at the vision you had for this place. I couldn’t see past the rotten mess. It’s so beautiful now. A bar area, with a small sink, mini fridge, and grill, on the outside wall by the chair would be a great addition for entertaining. I can’t wait for the reveal of it finished and furnished. ❤
Awesome build! It will be a wonderful place to live for a young family! Good to see you both.
I love what you've done here. You transform properties beautifully. The previous property was beautifully done. Kudos to you. I will continue to watch.
Wow, to see what it totally looked like before, never would have dreamed it would look like this. You've come soooooo far! Well done! Onward and upward ❤
Its looking amazing ❤
Wao!!!😮...good job! 💪🏼
Wonderful retrospective on how far you’ve come on the renovation of this house. The flashbacks really bring home how far you’ve come and the wonderful job you’re doing with the renovation. 🙌👍❤️
Some times I feel so lucky to be dyslexic from the start when Edd explained what he wanted to do. I could just see it in my mind. You must be so proud of the outcome Edd and Anna are brilliant and so are their helpers. I had forgotten the colour of the beautiful wooden floor until you showed us a bit today. Also I noticed the second iron railings have been put up I must have missed that part. Best wishes to you all by the way it was lovely to see the two children whoever gets this house to live in will be so happy because it’s filled with love from Lynda❤❤❤❤
I can’t believe how far you have come. I’m sure it will be gorgeous when completed. Your last project was so well done!
You really are an artisan of restoration from your chateau to now this structure! You are amazing and a gift to those who do restoration! Thank you.
🙏
Wow, Edd you certainly have great vision! The transformation so far is epic! The door you have to put in is just going to be the cherry on top of the cake!
Now that you took us down memory lane of a year ago, it is astonishing how much you have done Ed and with the help of Louis and the other guy who I can not remember the name and of course beautiful Anna who is the lady who does the beautiful work with the camera. The quality of the work and the little garden patio area is my favourite. The stone tiles your have used is perfect. I can not wait till it is all completed. Have a lovely day.
To Ed & Anna
What vision & imagination, fortitude & valor you both had/have.
To be able to see what that wreck of a building could be transformed into!
When you first showed it on your channel - I thought you were "crazy!"
But, no! Not at all!
Not crazy - Visionary! Congratulations! On the transformation.
I am sure the town is also very grateful to see a derilict building be saved and renovated so excellently & to such a high standard.
Cheers & greetings from Australia
From Julie. 💐 🥂
Beautifully done! I can imagine a small fountain with plants and birdseed to bring in new life! Amazing job and I hope new squatters come with $$$ and willingness for us to see their makes of it. Excited for the entry door… what an exceptional finish that will bring!
What a transformation so far! I love the cozy indoor/outdoor space. it adds ambience and provides access to ,what I'm sure will be, a welcomed respite from the urban setting. Looking forward to seeing what comes next. BTW, Anna< I love your haircut!
Congratulations you done a beautiful job
Never understood what you both saw in that dump of a house. It’s turning out to be a beautiful home with so much though and detail you’ve put in for the future owners. Great job! It’s looking more amazing each time.
So well done from finding this place totally wrecked by time and rain, and seeing what you saw and realizing it ! Chapeau, love is in the detail 🌷
Ah, the chocolate box is nearly completed...so lovely. The caramel and nougat stonework, the dark and milk chocolates, and the spongey white divinity, all occupy the assortment of sweets that await the new dwellers. Cream fillers of vanilla, raspberry, mocha, dotting the very tasty bites with flavors both of syrupy-sweet blackberry and mellow sea-salt...perhaps even adding a separate box of green powdered-sugar covered, green-colored, raw pastry dough, enclosing the thick-creme "Bourges-figues," made by a great Pattisserier, will complete your deluxe color schemes...right out of a chocolatiers magical box of jeweled hued treats. I can hardly wait to see the color-wheel you select for the
enchanted rooms. The jewel in the crown will be the huge sapphire door....Yum, yum...lucky renters...Oh how happy they will be.
Wonderful achievement, Edd and Anna. Another successful project. Bring on the champagne...A votre' sante'...Won't be long, now!
Looks amazing. What a change since the beginning. Wow
You are an asset! All of you!
It's going to be beautiful when your done! Well done
