PS: VERY nice poetic ending by Lionel “le bard,” and great photo montage as well. Again, well done both of you! 👍🇮🇸🎵🎶🤗👏👏👨🎤👨🎨🤷🏻♀️
Claire and Lionel, good job! Your colour looks very pretty! Well done!
Thank you so much, well we got there after much deliberation! We usually do 😊 it just takes time to work through your thinking 😊❤️
Love the new color!
Thank you - its been very painful to decide but we are happy with it now - lots more rooms to do though so we will have to go through the whole process again! 😂😂
ABSOLUTELY LOVELY❣️ Your wonderful ending created beautiful images in my mind. Thank you❤
You are so welcome - we love imagining what this place used to be like when elegant people lived here - not like us covered in paint 😂😂
Looks nice. Lionel‘s shoulders and neck are going to be very very sore the next two or three days. I am personally glad you chose a different color. Well done.
Mine too! I did all the edges but he didn't film that bit! 😂😂 Claire x
The beano, the broons and oor wullie. Loved all those comics.
Oh my that colour is rich I have to say. The other one will be nice somewhere in your lovely chateau, I'm sure. You always entertain me!
Yes - plenty of other rooms to do so I am sure it will get used eventually!
WOW!! It looks perfect!!
Thank you so much!
I love the colours u have picked very fresh and light but still in keeping with Chateau look .
Thank you - I can't wait to get it finished
Very pretty! I trick i learned for removing lint from a new roller, wrap masking tape around your hand sticky side out and press over the roller to remove the lint! Painting ceilings are the worse! Have fun! 😂
Good tip - will do that next time thank you
You should look at the living room at Chateau de la Ruche. Similar blue tones in walls and ceiling etc.
Just beautiful 💙 you made a lovely choice.
Thank you - I think we've actually chosen a very similar colour without realising it - theirs looks so beautiful in photos so I can't wait for the end result with ours!
Looks great.
Thank you, it really does look very lovely 😍
Love a non white ceiling ❤
We do too ! ❤️😊
Thanks!
Thank you
I am glad to see that you went to a professional store and Sigma is a very good brand .
The colour seems to be great ( much better than the dark one 😉) and we are waiting for the final result . Poor Lionel with painting the ceiling . A scaffolder would have been easier for him . I bet he had painful shoulders after !!! Anyway ceiling painting is always a hard job .
Yes we are very pleased with the paint, the ceiling was hard work but hopefully worth it
Would have been better if the border and the central rose would have been painted white.
Seguro terminarán de pintar este año? 😂 el color es lindo … de verdad ustedes 😅 como q no bricolaje 😂😂
Are you going to pick out some ceiling details to paint gold? That would be so elegant!
I think we are going to keep it very simple and stick to the blue in here. We do have a big gold mirror to go above the fireplace though which will look lovely I hope
I’m liking the colour. I didn’t know you were a Poet Lionel? very nice recital
He's a poet and he didn't know it.
It’s going to be beautiful. And painting ceilings are tedious at best, and a pain, literally in the neck and arms and back. Suggestion, long hot bath and big glass of wine.❤
Unfortunately we don't have a bath yet - but the glass of wine did help!!
@ a glass of wine helps a lot 😂❤️
I love the new colour, close to a wedgewood blue, at least on my screen. Are you painting the cornice the same colour as the woodwork, giving a separation of ceiling and wall? Just a simple break from the all blue. I love your ending Lionel. You both are so much fun to watch, I do miss your talks at the table as you reflect on our comments. Ronnie in Saskatchewan
Yes it’s very much a Wedgwood blue, we are doing the same colour all over - really pleased with it so far
Very nice
Thank you!
a so big ceiling! a nightmare to paint! nice colour but the medallion on the center wasn't better white? with a fantastic chandelier....
If you paint with the direction of the light rather than across, you'll get a better, more uniform result. I learnt that lesson a long time ago and it was annoying... and yes, I think the new colour is better.
Ah thats interesting - will have to give that a go for next time
Looking fantastic. Does that mean we have to dress up next time we visit😱xx
Yes absolutely, you will not be allowed through the door unless you are wearing the proper attire. I look forward to seeing Dave in his powdered wig and a nice frock. - Claire x
@ perhaps a pale pink gown would suit him😂x
@@lucylevenson6485 Oh YES! (Lionel)
Do the ceiling on a scaffold
A worthy investment, looking for one now
Maybe just a little less chatter and more time lapse. Love the color.
We are NOTHING without the chatter, glad you like the colour 🙂
Too far away from the ceiling. You need scaffolding to be closer to see your work. I apologize... It's none of my business.
You are right of course, but I have achieved a good finish nonetheless, but i dream of scaffolding
