You should be VERY PROUD! The room looks so cozy, tasteful and inviting and every guest will feel comfortable at your chateau. Not to forget your unique and lovely personalities and excellent culinary skills. Seeing these old building come back to life through lots of love and hard work, warms your heart. Your Grand Ol’ Lady is lucky to have you as owners.
Thank you so much. That is so very kind of you to say. I am looking forward to exploring regional French dishes and cook for our guests. We love this old lady and I think she is happy to be getting a male over. 😂😊❤. Hugs hugs ❤❤❤
Breathtaking,stunning,creative,inviting,the list could go on. At first glance this room draws you in and makes you so happy because it will bring tears of appreciation. Stewart and Patrick,I follow a lot of chateaus,I know I would choose yours if a visit were possible. I know I would enjoy you both so much. Thank you for all the joy❤
Mixing styles in a home is common and throughout the ages, even wealthy European families mixed stuff up. Many pieces became cherished ones over the years and generations. I suppose some purists will oppose that comment but I agree with Patrick and Stuart. It adds whimsy, familiarity and warmth to a room. Sometimes a room that is strictly one style is so sterile you feel like an intruding microbe. Anyway, am looking forward to the additional landscape above the settee - perhaps a tapestry? or a painting in a tapestry styling? It would match the couple from the staircase, which I found charming. Kuddos to both of you. I also see the influence of your garden blooms. The white peonies on the dresser "commode" are exquisite! Its name is 'Duchesse de Nemours', a Calot variety peony with inward curved, cupped petals of pure white with huge blooms. It dates back to 1856. Its creator and originator Calot, a famous flower plant breeder, especially China peonies in the mid to late 1800s. Towards the middle and late 1800's wealthy families sent "plant scouts" to "India" to find interesting and fragrant plants to grow in their greenhouses (they were and still are called 'glass houses' in those days and in Victorian times became indoor mansion "conservatories" or "garden room"). Though originally hailing from China peonies are very old varieties of plants. Most can live to be 500 years old! Regarding the Duchesse de Nemours: Marie de Nemours's maiden name was Marie d'Orléans-Longueville (1625-1707). She then became the Princess of Neuchâtel from 1694 to 1707. She was the daughter of Henri II d'Orléans, Duke of Longueville and Louise de Bourbon. After the death of her brother Jean Louis Charles d'Orléans-Longueville in 1694 she succeeded him as sovereign -Princess of Neuchâtel, although she remained a prominent member of the French royal court. From her reign to her death she was the last living member of the house of Valois through a cadet line (meaning a younger generation line.) This peony variety was bred in 1856 by the French breeder Jacques Calot of Douai, FR, who inherited a large collection from the Comte de Cussy. He continued this collection until 1871 when he sold the entire collection to Felix Crousse of Nancy, France who went on to breed many of the varieties we find in our gardens today. From China, white peonies have held the following symbolism: Fortune and prosperity, Wealth, Kindness and Compassion. Other well-known peony varieties bred by Calot are Amabilis, Boule de Neige (smaller, rounder cream before bud opens fully and has a striped red center - creamy white), Lady Anna (dark, hot pink) , Louis van Houtte (dark pink with yellow center), Marie Lemoine (creamy, ivory), Pecher (lite pink with a flush of yellow on the middle section of petals) and Reine Hortense (baby pink). The Duchesse de Nemours peony is often used in bridal bouquets because of its pure white color - representing purity of love.
Thank you so much. First, I love how you describe the room and the term sterile in a room is something I can relate to. Second, I love your peony history. Absolutely wonderful. And I adore peonies. My granny, the one in the picture with the green silk dress, had a huge peony clump in the garden and they were fantastic. Much love from Colombe ❤
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Thank you. I enjoy researching plants, having worked in the horticultural world since childhood, navigating landscape designing and eventually starting and operating a floral business for over 30 years, its kind of ingrained now. History is another passion and pass time. Watching you and Stuart realizing your dreams and utilizing your talents to "grow" your home into a castle gives me the opportunity to dream along with you. And, like Stuart (though his artist's talents are far higher than mine will ever be), I paint and dabble in different art mediums. One day, perhaps, (if ever I win a million dollar lottery....) I'll be able to travel to France to see you in person. Take care.

Don't let anyone school you on interior decorating style! I absolutely LOVE the layers of patterns and mixes of period pieces, you two have such a great eye for conposition, balance, and dynamics, what you've created here is just so beautiful, full of charm, stories, personality, warmth and everywhere are little interesting moments and views, objects of beauty and curiosity, BRAVO YOU! ❤️👌 The Lalande chairs found a perfect placement, and that desk, I must say, really makes the entrance feel warm and historic, not "historic style" but gives a real soulful subtlety, an reminds a visitor of the era of writing by hand, corresponding with quill, ink and paper, of reflecting on literature and the inner life of people who've lived like this for centuries. Love that! And right beside it, peek inside the loo and look out, there's a cheeky madame to powder your nose with! ❤ Your stairs are truly stunning. I imagine you'll have so much fun collecting paintings here and there and creating your gallery. The guestroom could NOT be lovelier! The colors patterns, fabrics, (ooh and the gingham check on those chairs-nice touch!) and that beautiful bathroom and the views... I've stayed at alot of fine hotels, B&B's, this is more beautiful than I'd ever expect from a country guest room! And I love the balance between fresh and lively , antique and precious, and harmony and things that look like they somehow were always there and added over time! That's a very skilled accomplishment, and especially considering what this looked like when you guys moved in! AND the fact you did almost every single thing literally yourselves! It's just remarkable. And stunning! I hope your guests will treat their surroundings with love and respect. Exceptionelle, très très belle, et vachement cool c'est ça! Congratulations on all your hard work and best of luck with the season boys! 🥂❤️☀️😘/Jo
Dear Gentlemen, What a joy touring your sympathetic restoration of this bedroom suit. We (your audience) have only had snippets of this puzzle; a little here and there, many sweaty brows, problems to solve, and finding creative ways not to fall off of ladders and scaffolding. Your vision has been steadfastly firm towards an authentic and sensible approach to modernizing this retreat with an ode towards historically correct decoration that needed to span centuries. I love the décor, your humor and persistence. Thank you so much for taking us all along for your journey to restore such a lovely chateau. Best to both of you from a very sunny California.
Thank you very much Lenna. I had to read your lovely comment to Stuart while having my morning coffee.. it truly set the tone for my day and I deeply appreciate it. ❤❤❤. Love from Colombe
How wonderful. Yes, you should be proud of yourselves! The room looks so cosy and stylish. The little settee is so sweet and it is okay to mix and match patterns - it's your chateaux, do what YOU want. It's good to see Stuart's toile in a different colourway in the shower curtain - it's such a pretty design. Loving all the furniture and chandeliers. The whole room/suite works really well and because I've watched the progress, I know it was a lot of hard work. Have a good weekend and see you Wednesday!
Thank you very much Susan. A lot of work and now it is truly rewarding. We hope people will want to come and stay here for a few days. See you Wednesday and again, thank you ❤❤❤
Patrick and Stuart, what a stupendous job you have done! So many superlatives came to mind as I watched this episode - the entrance hall and Duchess suite is so gorgeous now and a testament to all the hard work and skills you have both put into it. I (honestly) said to myself how lovely the mixtures of patterns in the bedroom were and having the curtains and bed crown drapery in the reverse colour to the wallpaper looked so elegant yet cosy. The pièce de résistance is the beautiful choices of furniture from the hallway right through to the bedchamber. I love it all! You both have a right to be proud of your restoration thus far and it’s hard to believe it’s only two years since we were watching you trying to find your ideal Chateau. If only we didn’t live on the other side of the world I would be booking many visits.😅👏👌❤️❤️ P.S. How could I forget to mention my favourite thing - the chandeliers! They are magnificent and how lucky are you to have so many rooms to fill with them.💖💖
The oil paintings of Lizzy & Fitzy are perfection! The paintings, chandelier, staircase & furniture in the entrance are too. The vestibule makes the room more private and befitting for your exquisitely grand bedroom. You both have impeccable taste & vision in creating a very special experience… hopefully, one day!!! I can’t believe it’s two years; you’ve achieved so much!
Caught up at last, I found your channel in February 24 as I was laid up with the very bad winter virus that hit the UK. I decided to start from the beginning so as to get to know you both thank you, so much laughter and a few tears but you kept me going as I was unable to work in my studio. You have created a beautiful home ❤
Hello Sylvia. Welcome and thank you for being with us on this incredible journey. So sorry you had that terrible virus. But I am glad you found us. 😊. Huge hugs and love from Colombe ❤
Every room needs whimsy, a touch of red and of course something black.These designer tricks have always existed, oh also lots of mirrors. You guys are spectacular.
You SHOULD absolutely be proud of yourselves! All the hard work, thought and artistry that have gone into this renovation is deserving of all the praise! Adore what you've done!
OMG, OMG, OMG!!! No words. It is magnificent. The settee is perfect 👌 👍 🥰 Lucky, lucky, the guests who will enjoy that room. They won't want to leave. 😃 ❤️
Thank you sweet lady Gloria. We enjoy looking at the room and how it feels. Now I’ll rush over to the farmhouse and vacuum and wash the floors for Martin and Margaret who will arrive this afternoon. Love and miss you two and your fur babies. ❤❤❤
Absolutely stunning. It is just perfect. When I see it, I think I am in a french country estate. Tasteful, beautiful, and not too much. I think your guests will feel very pampered and comfortable. Sometimes in other chateaus I think they are a bit over the top and people might be worried they will break something. I also cannot wait to see what Stewart does with the entry. Artist to Artist, I know it will be fantastic.
It’s both wonderful and heartwarming to see your hard work and tireless effort come to fruition. Your meticulous attention to detail is exquisite. It brings to life the pleasure of being transported in time. Well done Patrick and Stuart …. Two masters of your craft 👏👏👏 🇮🇪
Good morning Patrick & Stuart, "Wunderbaar" - Breath taking - Glamorous!! The Guest Room is just beautiful. So much loveliness, I don't think the chateau ever looked that smart since it was built. The entrance hall is stunning, entering or coming down that beautiful staircase. There is just enough furniture and it is not overdone to create something which is not suitable. Do enjoy your guest, I am sure they will be blown away when they see for themselves what you have achieved. I knew you would pull this off from the beginning. Well done, many blessings, Elize.
Oh my the reveal of the Entranceway, Staircase and bedroom, bathroom, water closets, chandeliers, paintings, furnishings are spectacular. Love it all too many beautiful things to mention. You guys have created such a glorious sanctuary in the bedroom that your guests will feel so privileged to be in. ❤
I love the patterns. They go great together. When you said that, some people would complain that everything isn't matching. It made me think of the Warren Beatty movie Heaven Can Wait. Diane Cannon's character's bedroom had everything matching. You couldn't tell where one thing ended and another started 😂
Patrick and Stewart - what an accomplishment!! I LOVE all the portraits and the entrance. When you first opened the door to the suite, the view from the vestibule was intoxicating. Any lucky guest will feel honoured to stay in this suite! In Japan, where I lived for years, I loved the separation of the toilet from the actual bathroom. It makes so much sense. So much to be proud of in this whole renovation project. Well done!!
Thank you so much. Truly glad you like how it looks and feels. I do hope guests will enjoy the calm and elegance. I do prefer the separate toilets as well. Love from Colombe ❤❤❤
You both have so much talent decorating your chateau. Everthing is so lovely, entrance hall, but the guest bedroom is beyond words. The jewelry on the ceilings, the pink layering, soft green bath. Oh, the fabrics and wallpaper too. You should have a sleep in the room to break it in and drink a bottle of champagne to celebrate your work. The renovation is being done with so much love and care to help it maintain its history.
Stewart and Patrick the entrance foyer is spectacular. The staircase and floor so very beautiful. ❤. The manner in which you have selected each piece of furniture down to the chandeliers is breath taking . I especially love the pink chandelier!😍. Congratulations on a wonderful achievement. The revelation was such a fabulous surprise. So cleverly done! 🥳🥂🍾
Hi Stuart and Patrick , I am so proud of you both and what you have achieved and to see your faces tonight was just amazing. You were both beaming and the most relaxed I’ve ever seen. You definitely deserve all the lovely comments that you are receiving and rightly so. Have a fabulous weekend and enjoy being “ mine hosts” with your guests and well done for still adding your own touches of humour to the Chateau. Big huge hugs to you both. Now you can relax and breathe. 🧘🧘♀️. 😊🥰🇨🇮
You should have your portraits painted and hang it in the entrance hall! What a wonderful, beautiful chateau! All that hard work has paid off in a big way.
The chateau really deserves to be in a magazine. And surely you both deserve a TV interview about the jurney to get were the chateau is today. Everything looks stunning. You have mastered the paint and wall paper colors and the mixing of fabric patterns. Your guest will love to visit the chateau and enjoy staying in such a beautiful decorated place and the delicious food you offer. I wish you to have a very busy season! Love from SoCal. ❤
Just blown away by this exquisite jewel box of a suite! I love everything about it-especially all the wonderful textiles used. I expect to see this in a magazine like Milieu! Every last detail you can think of is to perfection! Bravo 👏🏻 Patrick and Stewart! 💐💐💐
Thank you Carrie. You are wonderful. It would be amazing to have a magazine featuring our renovation. Gosh I wish I still knew people in the publishing world. Huge thank you and hugs from Colombe ❤❤
Stuart, you are the bomb filming the tour. I have seen too many where they go so fast you get car sick. Love the music. You and Patrick have done a masterful job. Love it.
Hugs Gretchen. Thank you so much. He is soooooo good at filming. One of my great aunts was named Gretchen and she was my absolute favourite. Love from Colombe ❤❤
These rooms are exquisite and so tastefully decorated and designed. I love the mix of time periods and fabric patterns as they indicate that it was a collection gathered over many, many years. Your (own) paintings are beautiful, accomplished and sweet. The chandeliers are terrific! (Too many superlatives?) The brass fixtures in the bathroom are to die for! The powder room one the main level is cute in a very tasteful way. The work you've completed is wonderful. Congratulations on your achievements.
Thank you so much Aviva. I love your description of something being a collection rather than a one swoop. We very much appreciate your comment and feedback. Love from Colombe ❤❤😊❤❤
Wow, this room is stunning. What a fantastic job you’ve made. I love the layers and totally agree it creates such interest. The room is beautifully light, just perfect. Well done.💕❤️💕
I LOVE seeing you both so happy! Proud? You ABSOLUTELY should be INCREDIBLY proud. The spaces are already breathtaking and I can imagine the hall filled with art. When you opened the bedroom door, I actually felt emotional. It’s all so pretty. How many adjectives can I come up with😂? Really guys, I want to comment about so many things. I even noticed how the white fabric backing the bed pallet displays your gorgeous wallpaper through it. Wow! Stuart, your paintings are outstanding. Hmmm, maybe some murals in the future? Truly, truly happy for you and big, BIG hugs❤️
May I describe your achievement as being close to perfection? That’s the feeling I have when entering the vestibule, going up the staircase, and reaching the charming bed & breakfast room. The atmosphere is elegant and stylish. “What else?!” You guys can truly be proud of your work. And something in me says that if the previous generations who used to live at Colombe in the past centuries were to come back they would feel totally at home in the restored château. You were able to keep the spirit and that’s what it is about when you really love old stones.
The Duchess room is exquisite..I'm blown away by how wonderful that carpet came out.The wallpaper is perfect..Matchy Matchy is boring..no imagination..I agree..I love the settee.
Your entrance is lovely I hope Marie will go with the other prints once the walls are finished being repainted. It would be interesting if some of those family prints or at least one family print of the original family and your family were on these walls maybe if that works for you or somewhere it can be seen or library. A portrait of you two would be lovely anywhere in the home as well as why not. I love the one you do have of family is beautiful in oils. I look forward in future the curved wall is painted as well. The room itself is befitting of the lady it's named after very well done and beautiful yet cozy as well. Do you have a luggage valet. I love the mix of patterns is perfect. Separation of WC and shower room is ideal :) You two and Tony have done so well it's as if it has always been there or meant to be there :) Look forward to it's completion and any other projects you have lined up :)
I watched last night just before I fell asleep. Gentleman, you out did yourselves. I love the pattern choice and colors of the bedroom. Wonderful and elegant. You should be proud of yourselves. I remember the video of you sitting in the entrance hall with tracks in the walls as you waited for the electrician to finish. You have come so far.
Wow, what a renovation journey. You both have achieved a gorgeous B&B filled with stunning furnishings and art. Stuart be proud of the wallpaper, woodwork just blows my mind what you have achieved. Patrick i think being tall certainly paid off with the days of painting and never ending sanding, polishing of all the crystals for the chandeliers, well done, certainly needed all the lights. Im so proud of both of you especially with the loss of the beautiful much loved dogs in the last year to have been able to complete what you have, shoutout to Tony and John for there valuable expertise. All the best for the first guests 😘 definitely a time-lapse as ive found this attracts more subscribers as this is how i found many that i watch now.
The hallway and staircase is fabulous! I love the pictures you both painted. Especially the dog portraits. ❤ You’re both very talented. The bedroom is magnificent! So welcoming and elegant and luxurious. The wallpaper and curtains are exquisite. I really love the rug. You have an excellent eye for detail. You should be very proud of yourselves. I hope you have a good season. You deserve it.❤❤
Hallo Patrick und Stuart, es war wunderbar die renovierten Räume zu sehen.Die zwei Jahre sind sehr schnell vergangen weil Ihr immer eine neue Idee für das Haus oder den Garten habt. Macht weiter so,ich mag euren Humor.Liebe Grüße Conny ❤
Well you two have shown us just how high your standards are, and you’ve not disappointed us in the least. Bravo Stewart and Patrick, the B&B is gorgeous the shades in chosen colour palette is superb, the little nook for the bed is delish. ❤
Absolutely love what you two have achieved,it all looks fabulous. I am really looking forward to see the ideas you have for the future of the entrance hall and stairs. So exciting. You should be very proud of what you have done,especially the fine details. ❤❤xx
Bravo !! Everything is lovely. I love the interesting layers. You have restored and upgraded the chateau to its grandeur. You both have accomplished much and should be proud, as I am of you. Take care my friends, Ralph Rocchiccioli
❤❤❤. Thank you Ralph. It is slowly becoming a French country chateau and retreat. We are looking forward to more restorations this fall. We are really happy about our work. Now we only have 14 rooms to go and the second half of the longhouse…… 😊❤😂. Hugs from Colombe 😊
Bravo to Patrick and Stuart for a job that was well done and so breath taking! I am in awe!! Your entrance hall is quite elegant! The bedroom is magical! I could sit down on the settee and spend an hour or so admiring your hard work and numerous hours working to make this room so magnificent! It has been an honor to watch this renovation happen! Thanks you and you are so talented and artistic.
I LOVE mixing patterns! So happy to see you chose to do so. Really gives the room a current look. You both are so very talented! I look forward to seeing what you tackle next.😊
Beautiful! The room is simply Beautiful. I can imagine a gorgeous Lady, or Gentleman standing in the room gazing out the window in the period dress. You two have done a wonderful job!
I don’t understand how folks can criticise your work, your talents are inspirational, your taste is exceptional. I was encouraged to do a portrait of my dog too. Thanks for the joy you share.
It’s all so very beautiful - I have a little bit ( well actually a lot) of bedroom and bathroom envy! The colors in the bathroom is an absolute dream.❤❤❤
What a lovely elegant and comfortable room. I love Stewart's wallpaper design and how it transfers so well to fabrics. Great shower curtain! Bit by bit you are bringing warmth and life back to your chateau with so much hard work and your many complimentary skills. It’s been fun to watch you embrace this new life with good humour and energy. Thanks for taking us along.
Patrick, you and Stuart should be very proud of what you’ve done! There’s so much to be proud of - Stuart’s design on fabric and wallpaper, gorgeous antiques and chandeliers, the impeccable restoration work you’ve done on walls, that water closet - a hidden gem! And I have always loved the portraits of Lizzy and Fitzy (I hope I got their names right…)! Chin up, chest out - proud looks good on both of you!
You should be VERY PROUD!
The room looks so cozy, tasteful and inviting and every guest will feel comfortable at your chateau.
Not to forget your unique and lovely personalities and excellent culinary skills.
Seeing these old building come back to life through lots of love and hard work, warms your heart.

Dear Gentlemen,
What a joy touring your sympathetic restoration of this bedroom suit. We (your audience) have only had snippets of this puzzle; a little here and there, many sweaty brows, problems to solve, and finding creative ways not to fall off of ladders and scaffolding. Your vision has been steadfastly firm towards an authentic and sensible approach to modernizing this retreat with an ode towards historically correct decoration that needed to span centuries. I love the décor, your humor and persistence. Thank you so much for taking us all along for your journey to restore such a lovely chateau. Best to both of you from a very sunny California.
Thank you very much Lenna. I had to read your lovely comment to Stuart while having my morning coffee.. it truly set the tone for my day and I deeply appreciate it. ❤❤❤. Love from Colombe
Once again Gentelmen, you have created a beautifully, Very comfortable elegant surrounding!
That is so kind of you. So glad you like the spaces we envisioned that are now a reality ❤❤❤
How wonderful. Yes, you should be proud of yourselves! The room looks so cosy and stylish. The little settee is so sweet and it is okay to mix and match patterns - it's your chateaux, do what YOU want. It's good to see Stuart's toile in a different colourway in the shower curtain - it's such a pretty design. Loving all the furniture and chandeliers. The whole room/suite works really well and because I've watched the progress, I know it was a lot of hard work. Have a good weekend and see you Wednesday!
Thank you very much Susan. A lot of work and now it is truly rewarding. We hope people will want to come and stay here for a few days. See you Wednesday and again, thank you ❤❤❤
Patrick and Stuart, what a stupendous job you have done! So many superlatives came to mind as I watched this episode - the entrance hall and Duchess suite is so gorgeous now and a testament to all the hard work and skills you have both put into it.
I (honestly) said to myself how lovely the mixtures of patterns in the bedroom were and having the curtains and bed crown drapery in the reverse colour to the wallpaper looked so elegant yet cosy. The pièce de résistance is the beautiful choices of furniture from the hallway right through to the bedchamber. I love it all!
You both have a right to be proud of your restoration thus far and it’s hard to believe it’s only two years since we were watching you trying to find your ideal Chateau. If only we didn’t live on the other side of the world I would be booking many visits.😅👏👌❤️❤️
P.S. How could I forget to mention my favourite thing - the chandeliers! They are magnificent and how lucky are you to have so many rooms to fill with them.💖💖
You should be really proud of what you’ve created, it’s utterly beautiful
Thank you so much Colleen. ❤❤❤
The oil paintings of Lizzy & Fitzy are perfection! The paintings, chandelier, staircase & furniture in the entrance are too. The vestibule makes the room more private and befitting for your exquisitely grand bedroom. You both have impeccable taste & vision in creating a very special experience… hopefully, one day!!! I can’t believe it’s two years; you’ve achieved so much!
The entrance hall is elegant and welcoming and your du Barry room is charming. This tour is joyous to view. Thanks so much and congratulations!
Caught up at last, I found your channel in February 24 as I was laid up with the very bad winter virus that hit the UK. I decided to start from the beginning so as to get to know you both thank you, so much laughter and a few tears but you kept me going as I was unable to work in my studio. You have created a beautiful home ❤
Hello Sylvia. Welcome and thank you for being with us on this incredible journey. So sorry you had that terrible virus. But I am glad you found us. 😊. Huge hugs and love from Colombe ❤
Patrick and Stuart
Thank you so much for the tour.You should be very proud of what you have done.Hi from Wisconsin
Hello Debbie. Thank you so much. We always loved our excursions to Wisconsin. Sending love and hugs from Colombe ❤❤
Stuart is incredibly talented
Yes he is ❤❤
The room is stunning, and just to see all of the hard work you both have put into it makes it even more impressive
Thank you very much. It is so nice to see that you expressed this so kindly. Huge hugs ❤❤❤
BE PROUD!! You so deserve it.
Thank you so much Vicki. We smile every time when we walk through the hall, or into the bedroom ❤❤❤
Every room needs whimsy, a touch of red and of course something black.These designer tricks have always existed, oh also lots of mirrors. You guys are spectacular.
You SHOULD absolutely be proud of yourselves! All the hard work, thought and artistry that have gone into this renovation is deserving of all the praise! Adore what you've done!
Thank you so much Tammie. 😊❤😊
It is lovely, all of it. I love the mixed patterns and paintings. Just charming !
❤❤❤. Thank you so much
what a gorgeous room you've created❣️
Thank you Elizabeth❤❤.
I could just live in this room!!! I just want you to know it brings me joy to see such creativity and beauty. Just charming!!! Thank you
Thank you very much Patricia. ❤❤❤❤
Layers and pattern mixing makes an elegant and unique room
Thank you. I absolutely agree with you ❤❤❤
OMG, OMG, OMG!!! No words. It is magnificent. The settee is perfect 👌 👍 🥰 Lucky, lucky, the guests who will enjoy that room. They won't want to leave. 😃 ❤️
Thank you sweet lady Gloria. We enjoy looking at the room and how it feels. Now I’ll rush over to the farmhouse and vacuum and wash the floors for Martin and Margaret who will arrive this afternoon. Love and miss you two and your fur babies. ❤❤❤
Absolutely stunning. It is just perfect. When I see it, I think I am in a french country estate. Tasteful, beautiful, and not too much. I think your guests will feel very pampered and comfortable. Sometimes in other chateaus I think they are a bit over the top and people might be worried they will break something. I also cannot wait to see what Stewart does with the entry. Artist to Artist, I know it will be fantastic.
Hi Ellen. Thank you so much. I know what you mean. What a great comment. I am excited for the fall and Stuart’s plans for the hall….. Huge hugs ❤
It’s both wonderful and heartwarming to see your hard work and tireless effort come to fruition. Your meticulous attention to detail is exquisite. It brings to life the pleasure of being transported in time. Well done Patrick and Stuart …. Two masters of your craft 👏👏👏 🇮🇪
Everything you have done for the Duchess room is lovely and magnificent, I would love to stay... progress happens as and when times allow❤
Thank you very much Diane, so very ,ind of you. ❤😊❤
Good morning Patrick & Stuart, "Wunderbaar" - Breath taking - Glamorous!! The Guest Room is just beautiful. So much loveliness, I don't think the chateau ever looked that smart since it was built. The entrance hall is stunning, entering or coming down that beautiful staircase. There is just enough furniture and it is not overdone to create something which is not suitable. Do enjoy your guest, I am sure they will be blown away when they see for themselves what you have achieved. I knew you would pull this off from the beginning. Well done, many blessings, Elize.
Oh my the reveal of the Entranceway, Staircase and bedroom, bathroom, water closets, chandeliers, paintings, furnishings are spectacular. Love it all too many beautiful things to mention. You guys have created such a glorious sanctuary in the bedroom that your guests will feel so privileged to be in. ❤
Just so incredibly beautiful !
Thank you so much ❤❤
I love the patterns. They go great together. When you said that, some people would complain that everything isn't matching. It made me think of the Warren Beatty movie Heaven Can Wait. Diane Cannon's character's bedroom had everything matching. You couldn't tell where one thing ended and another started 😂
You have done a fabulous job on the bedroom, bathroom and toilet. Love the chandeliers. It is very tastefully decorated. Well done 🎉🎉
Thank you so much. Very kind f you ❤❤❤
Patrick and Stewart - what an accomplishment!! I LOVE all the portraits and the entrance. When you first opened the door to the suite, the view from the vestibule was intoxicating. Any lucky guest will feel honoured to stay in this suite!
In Japan, where I lived for years, I loved the separation of the toilet from the actual bathroom. It makes so much sense.
So much to be proud of in this whole renovation project. Well done!!
Thank you so much. Truly glad you like how it looks and feels. I do hope guests will enjoy the calm and elegance. I do prefer the separate toilets as well. Love from Colombe ❤❤❤
The room is beautiful
The tour of your finished areas was perfectly done and was very enjoyable. You should be proud!! Thank you for the tour. ❤
You both have so much talent decorating your chateau. Everthing is so lovely, entrance hall, but the guest bedroom is beyond words. The jewelry on the ceilings, the pink layering, soft green bath. Oh, the fabrics and wallpaper too. You should have a sleep in the room to break it in and drink a bottle of champagne to celebrate your work. The renovation is being done with so much love and care to help it maintain its history.
Stewart and Patrick the entrance foyer is spectacular. The staircase and floor so very beautiful. ❤. The manner in which you have selected each piece of furniture down to the chandeliers is breath taking . I especially love the pink chandelier!😍. Congratulations on a wonderful achievement. The revelation was such a fabulous surprise. So cleverly done! 🥳🥂🍾
Hi Stuart and Patrick , I am so proud of you both and what you have achieved and to see your faces tonight was just amazing. You were both beaming and the most relaxed I’ve ever seen.
You definitely deserve all the lovely comments that you are receiving and rightly so.
Have a fabulous weekend and enjoy being “ mine hosts” with your guests and well done for still adding your own touches of humour to the Chateau. Big huge hugs to you both.
Now you can relax and breathe. 🧘🧘♀️. 😊🥰🇨🇮
You should have your portraits painted and hang it in the entrance hall! What a wonderful, beautiful chateau! All that hard work has paid off in a big way.
Thank you so very much. We will eventually paint our portraits and hang them up. We think alike ❤❤❤. Huge hugs
OMG you two are brilliant ....the Duchess Room is beautiful and exquisite. Well done and I can hardly wait for the next project but no pressure.
Thank you so much Shirley. We love the room and your comment ❤❤❤
The chateau really deserves to be in a magazine. And surely you both deserve a TV interview about the jurney to get were the chateau is today. Everything looks stunning. You have mastered the paint and wall paper colors and the mixing of fabric patterns.
Your guest will love to visit the chateau and enjoy staying in such a beautiful decorated place and the delicious food you offer.
I wish you to have a very busy season!
Love from SoCal. ❤
Just blown away by this exquisite jewel box of a suite! I love everything about it-especially all the wonderful textiles used. I expect to see this in a magazine like Milieu! Every last detail you can think of is to perfection! Bravo 👏🏻 Patrick and Stewart! 💐💐💐
Thank you Carrie. You are wonderful. It would be amazing to have a magazine featuring our renovation. Gosh I wish I still knew people in the publishing world. Huge thank you and hugs from Colombe ❤❤
Ooh the entrance hallway is just Perfect gentleman you have perfect taste, just perfect gorgeous 🥰😍❤
Hi Sam. Thank you so very very much. 😊❤how kind of you 💖
Guys it's beautiful. Such hard work really paid off.
Stuart, you are the bomb filming the tour. I have seen too many where they go so fast you get car sick. Love the music. You and Patrick have done a masterful job. Love it.
Hugs Gretchen. Thank you so much. He is soooooo good at filming. One of my great aunts was named Gretchen and she was my absolute favourite. Love from Colombe ❤❤
Patrick and Stewart.You should be over the moon. It looks beautiful. Keep up your hard work
I love the patterns the chandeliers make on the vestibule & water closet! 😊
Hi Chris. I love the patterns the chandeliers make too. So interesting ❤❤❤
My room is absolutely gorgeous I cant wait to visit. THANK YOU!!!
Love your comment ❤❤❤
These rooms are exquisite and so tastefully decorated and designed. I love the mix of time periods and fabric patterns as they indicate that it was a collection gathered over many, many years. Your (own) paintings are beautiful, accomplished and sweet. The chandeliers are terrific! (Too many superlatives?) The brass fixtures in the bathroom are to die for! The powder room one the main level is cute in a very tasteful way. The work you've completed is wonderful. Congratulations on your achievements.
Thank you so much Aviva. I love your description of something being a collection rather than a one swoop. We very much appreciate your comment and feedback. Love from Colombe ❤❤😊❤❤
Wow, this room is stunning. What a fantastic job you’ve made. I love the layers and totally agree it creates such interest. The room is beautifully light, just perfect. Well done.💕❤️💕
Thank you for your wonderful comment (I love your comments). So thoughtful and uplifting. Love from us ❤
I LOVE seeing you both so happy! Proud? You ABSOLUTELY should be INCREDIBLY proud. The spaces are already breathtaking and I can imagine the hall filled with art. When you opened the bedroom door, I actually felt emotional. It’s all so pretty. How many adjectives can I come up with😂? Really guys, I want to comment about so many things. I even noticed how the white fabric backing the bed pallet displays your gorgeous wallpaper through it. Wow! Stuart, your paintings are outstanding. Hmmm, maybe some murals in the future? Truly, truly happy for you and big, BIG hugs❤️
💝💖💝. Kathy, thank you so much 💖♥️😘. What a great comment ❤❤❤
May I describe your achievement as being close to perfection? That’s the feeling I have when entering the vestibule, going up the staircase, and reaching the charming bed & breakfast room. The atmosphere is elegant and stylish. “What else?!” You guys can truly be proud of your work. And something in me says that if the previous generations who used to live at Colombe in the past centuries were to come back they would feel totally at home in the restored château. You were able to keep the spirit and that’s what it is about when you really love old stones.
Messieurs, ce que vous avez réalisé est magnifique. Toutes nos félicitations. Envoi de câlins de Philadelphie.
The Duchess room is exquisite..I'm blown away by how wonderful that carpet came out.The wallpaper is perfect..Matchy Matchy is boring..no imagination..I agree..I love the settee.
Susan, I adore you and your comment. ❤❤❤
It looks so good! Good luck with your lucky first guests!
Thank you Pam. It is exciting. ❤❤
What a beautiful room amazing job and you have very good taste.
Than’ you Chantal. You are very kind indeed. ❤❤❤
What a terrific job! You have come a long way in 2 years.🥰🥰
Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Your entrance is lovely I hope Marie will go with the other prints once the walls are finished being repainted. It would be interesting if some of those family prints or at least one family print of the original family and your family were on these walls maybe if that works for you or somewhere it can be seen or library. A portrait of you two would be lovely anywhere in the home as well as why not. I love the one you do have of family is beautiful in oils. I look forward in future the curved wall is painted as well. The room itself is befitting of the lady it's named after very well done and beautiful yet cozy as well. Do you have a luggage valet. I love the mix of patterns is perfect. Separation of WC and shower room is ideal :) You two and Tony have done so well it's as if it has always been there or meant to be there :) Look forward to it's completion and any other projects you have lined up :)
I watched last night just before I fell asleep. Gentleman, you out did yourselves. I love the pattern choice and colors of the bedroom. Wonderful and elegant. You should be proud of yourselves. I remember the video of you sitting in the entrance hall with tracks in the walls as you waited for the electrician to finish. You have come so far.
With so many now coming to France and restoring the Chateaus...it must feel like France is coming back to life.
Wow, what a renovation journey. You both have achieved a gorgeous B&B filled with stunning furnishings and art. Stuart be proud of the wallpaper, woodwork just blows my mind what you have achieved. Patrick i think being tall certainly paid off with the days of painting and never ending sanding, polishing of all the crystals for the chandeliers, well done, certainly needed all the lights. Im so proud of both of you especially with the loss of the beautiful much loved dogs in the last year to have been able to complete what you have, shoutout to Tony and John for there valuable expertise. All the best for the first guests 😘 definitely a time-lapse as ive found this attracts more subscribers as this is how i found many that i watch now.
Everything looks beautiful! 😍
Thank you so much darling. Your support and encouragement means so much to us. Love from the crazy chateau guys ❤❤❤
The hallway and staircase is fabulous! I love the pictures you both painted. Especially the dog portraits. ❤ You’re both very talented. The bedroom is magnificent! So welcoming and elegant and luxurious. The wallpaper and curtains are exquisite. I really love the rug. You have an excellent eye for detail. You should be very proud of yourselves. I hope you have a good season. You deserve it.❤❤
The bed and breakfast room is drop dead gorgeous. Well done!
Thank you Lynn. You rock. ❤❤❤
Ther4 are right and wrong ways to mix patterns - what you’ve done is absolutely spot on. It’s just lovely.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!Words can not describe how beautiful your guest rooms are!❤
Patrick & Stewart you both are so talented. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hallo Patrick und Stuart, es war wunderbar die renovierten Räume zu sehen.Die zwei Jahre sind sehr schnell vergangen weil Ihr immer eine neue Idee für das Haus oder den Garten habt. Macht weiter so,ich mag euren Humor.Liebe Grüße Conny ❤
Well you two have shown us just how high your standards are, and you’ve not disappointed us in the least. Bravo Stewart and Patrick, the B&B is gorgeous the shades in chosen colour palette is superb, the little nook for the bed is delish. ❤
All so tasteful and stunning. Congratulations Stewart and Patrick.
Absolutely love what you two have achieved,it all looks fabulous. I am really looking forward to see the ideas you have for the future of the entrance hall and stairs. So exciting. You should be very proud of what you have done,especially the fine details. ❤❤xx
Thank you so much. That is truly thoughtful. We do have our ideas and we think it will be quite embracing. Huge thank you. ❤❤❤
Your efforts and beautiful choices bring tears to my eyes. It’s just stunning. ❤
amazing what both of you have accomplished in just two years. such exquisite taste. cant wait to see what the next two years brings.
Bravo !! Everything is lovely. I love the interesting layers. You have restored and upgraded the chateau to its grandeur. You both have accomplished much and should be proud, as I am of you. Take care my friends, Ralph Rocchiccioli
❤❤❤. Thank you Ralph. It is slowly becoming a French country chateau and retreat. We are looking forward to more restorations this fall. We are really happy about our work. Now we only have 14 rooms to go and the second half of the longhouse…… 😊❤😂. Hugs from Colombe 😊
Bravo to Patrick and Stuart for a job that was well done and so breath taking! I am in awe!! Your entrance hall is quite elegant! The bedroom is magical! I could sit down on the settee and spend an hour or so admiring your hard work and numerous hours working to make this room so magnificent! It has been an honor to watch this renovation happen! Thanks you and you are so talented and artistic.
I LOVE mixing patterns! So happy to see you chose to do so. Really gives the room a current look. You both are so very talented! I look forward to seeing what you tackle next.😊
Beautiful! The room is simply Beautiful. I can imagine a gorgeous Lady, or Gentleman standing in the room gazing out the window in the period dress. You two have done a wonderful job!
I don’t understand how folks can criticise your work, your talents are inspirational, your taste is exceptional. I was encouraged to do a portrait of my dog too. Thanks for the joy you share.
It’s all so very beautiful - I have a little bit ( well actually a lot) of bedroom and bathroom envy! The colors in the bathroom is an absolute dream.❤❤❤
Sensational jobs gents!! You SHOULD be very proud, your guests will love it!
I love all the work you've done that you showed us today. The bedroom is just beautiful. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
What a lovely elegant and comfortable room. I love Stewart's wallpaper design and how it transfers so well to fabrics. Great shower curtain! Bit by bit you are bringing warmth and life back to your chateau with so much hard work and your many complimentary skills. It’s been fun to watch you embrace this new life with good humour and energy. Thanks for taking us along.
You've done it again, wonderful room, your guests will have a wonderful experience at the chateau. Congratulations!
Absolutely stunning throughout. The mural in the entry wc is phenominal! As is all of your beautiful decor!
Patrick, you and Stuart should be very proud of what you’ve done! There’s so much to be proud of - Stuart’s design on fabric and wallpaper, gorgeous antiques and chandeliers, the impeccable restoration work you’ve done on walls, that water closet - a hidden gem! And I have always loved the portraits of Lizzy and Fitzy (I hope I got their names right…)! Chin up, chest out - proud looks good on both of you!
Awe!!! Love it. Stewart & Patrick, love the chandeliers, and in the bathroom too, fancy. ❤
The bedroom and colours are stunning.....the wallpaper is beautiful... A fantastic transformation.love the whole place .👍👍
