    One of the reasons I watch these Chateau vlogs is not only the owners are the nicest people sharing their skills and help, but the viewers are also such nice people. It makes us all one big worldwiide family. Bless you all❤❤❤😂😂😂

      Yes, I’d keep it wood colour but add gilding wax to highlight the mouldings. It would work well then with the brass wall lights. You could also add gilding wax highlights to the other wooden furniture to tie it all in.

  • @debimacinnis5548
    @debimacinnis5548 Рік тому

    That was a fantastic video. I loved the brocate it was so exciting. I would paint the mirror the light blue because you have lots of natural wood in the Chateau that this would add a new dimension to the room. The linen box would look great at the end of a bed, it could hold extra quilts for cool evenings and also be used as a seat.

    Oh Terry, the mirror is a little work of art. The wood is so beautiful, personally I think painting it would hide some of its beauty and incredible age. You paint a old piece of pine, this mirror is no piece of pine. Give it a good polish and wax and it will forever thank you. xxxalex

    I loved the mirror the first time you saw it, so I’m so happy you were able to purchase it. I think in my mind I spent more than $20,000 at the brocante! Those chandeliers (Carole would love them) are stunning, and the furniture is so beautiful. I think that house is perfect for Rob and those gates are spectacular. I wonder what the price is. Rob is such a great man. He’s always smiling, soft spoken and a hard worker. I hope he can be your neighbor. Beautiful music in todays video. Thank you and hugs. xx

    You should go see Stephane Bruneau in Laval, that's where Billy Petherick buys all his good pieces. Stephane is a friend and has sold me most of my treasures, no room for more. He recently gave me two antique washbasins on legs from an old bank along with 20 metres of gorgeous wool 'oriental' carpet runner. Last year he found me a small Chinoiserie desk for a guest room, his prices are great and he is a lovely person.

  • @lydiaajohnson
    @lydiaajohnson Рік тому

    My vote is for the darker wood wax. Paint would look fine too, but it’s pretty a permanent decision without a lot of work to restore. Because of the distressed mirror and old painting, the dark wood seems more compatible than a shockingly fresh paint job.

    Hi everyone, Always love Brocant shopping with you Terry, so happy you managed to buy the Trumeau mirror, for a fantastic price. I wouldn’t paint it,or take off the carved sconces Terry !
    I don’t think, you can ever have enough decorative pieces for a chateau!
    OMG 😱 the linen trunk is a stunning statement piece,perfect at the foot of a bed 🛏️!
    Take care lots of love 🥰💖

  • @susanwatson1599
    @susanwatson1599 Рік тому +17

    Love the trumeau mirror. I would suggest you leave the original sconces on it and simply gild them instead of replacing them. Alternatively, you can use a gilding wax for a softer look. Carole can offer some direction too, with all her experience.

      Absolutely! Some artisan long ago carved them so beautifully and their style matches the piece as a whole. I wouldn't stain it much darker at all. The cherry stain is lovely. Perhaps look for furniture to match the trumeau mirror?

    Hi Tracy, Terry & Ash, Glad to follow you brocante shopping once again. The trumeau that you bought is perfect for the 400 Suite. A piece like that should remain as it is in the natural wood with a good cleaning and waxing to bring out it's natural beauty. Painting it would only cover up what it was meant look like originally. Let Carole know where you saw all those gorgeous crystal chandeliers, she needs one for the Chateau hallway. Mark & Scott

    I had no idea Rob was looking to relocate. How fab it would be to have such a good friend so nearby. I hope that house really does suit him.
    As for the mirror it is fantastic. Please, PLEASE, don’t paint it. Bring it back to its natural wood or stain it to match the other dark wood furniture in the room. Painting it would be sacrilege! As a matter of fact what can be done about the foxing on the mirror itself? To replace it with new mirror clearly is inappropriate but is it possible to get the worst of the foxing removed and have it providing a good reflection?
    It’s all getting so exciting now, all the fun is starting after all the hard graft of providing all the good foundations to the rooms. Things are going to progress quickly from now on.
    Best wishes to all the intrepid shoppers, you have no idea how envious I am of your brocantes, antiques here in Australia are few and far between and when you do find what you want it’s hideously expensive.
    Looking forward to the parade of chandeliers!
    Cheers from Neil inAustralia 🇦🇺

    You should protect your paintings from further damage with Winsor and newton artists aerosols gloss varnish. It will prevent further discoloration, moisture, dirt, and damage from UV rays. It was suggested to me for an old painting by anyone famous but is till old and stunning.

    I vote for no paint on the trumeau! It will lose all its warmth and history….love your videos ! Sherry/Illinois
