The 400 Suite at the CHATEAU | Replacing the original panelling.
Bonjour à tous, in this episode at the chateau the question that everyone is asking, WHY THE 400 SUITE? Terry explains why they have decide to number the suites rather that naming them like all the other chateaus do. Plus, Terry and Tracy fit the insulation to the back of the panels and fit them back in place, getting the room back to how they started, minus the ceiling.

About us,
We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK to rural France and restoring this beautiful building to its former glory.

The original craftsmen would be very thankful to see you saving their workmanship and making each room ready to be occupied once again. Well done.
Patrick cracks me up. He just walks in between Ash's legs like he owns the place...and we all know he does !!! So great seeing the whole family work together to make this dream come true !! Absolutely splendid !!! Miss seeing Tony as well...Let him know he's missed !! Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us.
I can’t believe how fast this suite is coming together. Terry and Tracy are a great team. Of course Patrick needs credit for his superior supervising skills. Great job!
Well said!!!
Let's not forget the real Master of the Château and future Marquee.....Johnathan!!🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍❤️❤️😉
My grandfather sailed on the Olympic from Canada to England during WW1.
😮
Hiding the wires behind the panelling is an excellent idea - much more in keeping with the age of the chateau and also your restoration themes.
Well, I presumed that it’s because you’re extending the chateau to include another 399 suites. 😉❤️😘🥂
😂😂😂
I will visit when they have finished the 500 suite. I like big numbers!👅💋😂
@@margielynch7196 that’ll be in a few months time.😉👍😂❤️
Just a little Canadian trivia for you. The Kings Highway system in Ontario Canada ( where I'm from) is commonly referred to as the 400 series of highways with the longest being the 401 ( east to west 828 km) and the second biggest is highway 400 ( south to north from Toronto at 226 km). So even though your suites are based on the Titanic era's decor (and not our highway system 😂) there will always be a soft spot in this Canadian girl's heart for Chateau Lalacelle's suites! ❤
That is fantastic Cheri!! I had not thought of our highways with the numbers!👍🏻
It’s funny because I was thinking of our highways too! There are lots of other 400 series highways for any future suites! 🇨🇦😄
It's also the new Highway System they put in Nova Scotia! 100
My brother had met the daughter of one of the survivors of the Titanic.The father was returning from a fur buying trip in Russia. He had told her stories about the trip and passengers. I had found a wonderful book about the ship and sent it to her. Her fathers name appeared on the passenger manifest. Needless to say my brother had amazing talks with her. Wish I had written down all of this before my brother passed away 5 years ago.
That would have been wonderful Mary 😊😊😊
I love how unflappable and calm Tracy is. ❤
She is amazing 😍
As I watch this, I have to keep reminding myself that this is paneling that is hundreds of years old. I would be terrified of cutting into it. You're not only incredibly skilled but brave. You all inspire me! ❤
Thank you, yes we where scared drilling in to it 😮❤️
❤❤❤❤I love watching this family working together!! My mom and I are in the middle of tiling her shower and the floor of her bathroom. I'm close to 60yrs and my mom is 79. This is the last room in our complete remodel of our Townhouse that was built in the 1980's.
It’s great working with family and doing things for yourselves. Thanks Cheryl 😊
I'm the same age as your mum and have just sanded and polished my lounge, kitchen, and dining rooms....the sense of achievement is incredible.
@@maryallen6334 It absolutely does make one proud doesn’t it! Thanks for sharing.
Whenever you walk into all these rooms you have worked so hard to bring back to perfection, doesn't it make your heart sing? It sure does mine ❤. I love the green and Titanic theme 🎉
Thanks Becky. It will when they are done. 😊
A mostly clean slate is an important starting place for creative people such as yourselves as is proven by the 400 and 401 designations.
The 400 suite is looking wonderful. Thank you for showing us the pictures of the Olympia and Titanic interiors which are your decorating inspiration. I really hadn't understood your vision for the decor until I saw those interior views of the ships. I look forward to every Wednesday and Friday to see all the progress you've made since the last video.
I stayed in a hotel in Glasgow that said the Titanic’s staircase was modeled after theirs. It certainly was similar. The rooms will be beautiful!
i already said it ..but the 3rd floor looks like a ship deck from ships in the 1900s 😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 love it❤
Look at the size of those bricks in the wall!
What a great idea presenting the rooms decor scheme from Titanic, rather than just any old scheme, at least this gives you a certain focus & research about Titanic can help you. It’s certainly all going to add to guest enjoyment. Great to see the progress Terry with your wonderful Mum Tracy! ❤
Ah, the 400 is an ode to White Star Liners! Brilliant! When I had my Bed & Breakfast, I had a Normandie Suite, and an Ile de France suite…. But also a William Morris Room. Great work, all of you!! A joy to watch your progress!
I see your Overseer, Lord Patrick, scrutinizing your drilling work.
I don't know which brings me more joy, listening to the two of you nerding out about interior decoration or watching the dogs wondering what their humans are up to now. Either way, sharing your journey the way you do makes the world a happier place. Thank you.
You work so professionally and so hard. It will all look superb when sanded and painted 👏🏼✅👏🏼✅👏🏼✅👏🏼✅
Terry is right for sure,exposed wires look awful.
That explains the model ship that we see every so often in your videos. I can't wait to see how Suite 400 turns out after your explanation.
OMG! This is so exciting. Another item checked off the list.✔️
Thank you ☺️
Patrick is so hilarious.
It's so important to think and plan ahead, especially the sockets... Just came from a vacation in a hotel suite that had a kitchenette with an electric kettle, but no socket to plug it in 😂. Unlike you they didn't think of the guests' needs. Well done guys...
Thanks Helena :) 😊
As you work away Terry in drilling was watching and thinking someone else was working on that very same piece of wood so many years before you and what an honour. So excited. I love watching you both being creative and hard working…
In other words, elegance at its best. ❤
You are SUCH efficient workers!!! That’s why you are completing projects so quickly!!! Kudos!!! The Easter Bunny 🐰 is watching!!! And that rabbit is pretty darned IMPRESSED!!! Imagine your Easter baskets!!! 🧺 🤗❤️💖🌸🌻🌺🇨🇦🇫🇷🐣
Thank you so much Kerry-Lynn!
So THAT’S why The 400, etc. With the pictures that you showed, that place is going to be incredibly beautiful!
You work together a professional team of restorers which is what you have all become truly outstanding methods of working in such a difficult challenges your all so natural.
It's nice to see how well you two work together and accomplish so much.
Thanks Jerry
It will be interesting and a bit of fun. Hard work.
I’m having an early morning binge on your videos because I’m a few episodes behind. We live on a 32 acre vineyard property in the California mountains and due to a very rough winter, our days are filled with the cleanup of downed trees and branches. We also had storm damage to one whole side of our house that resulted in the complete demolition of our kitchen. I enjoyed and was inspired by your vlogs that showed both kitchens being created from empty spaces. This episode was also awesome and I hope to come stay in one of your suites some day. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! 😘
I used an oak armoire to hide my tv, surround sound, dvd players, etc. Angled in the corner of the room, it can be seen everywhere, and with the doors closed, no one would know modern electronics are in there. Some sawing was required to fit everything.
Oh my gosh! There's so much you have to do before Suite 400 becomes a reality. After witnessing the 3rd Floor Apartment Suite 433 come to completion, I believe!
Love the design ideas for the 400 and 401 suites. It’s coming along nicely with Patrick’s supervision. Can’t wait to see it completed as I’m sure you are as well. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Ahhh Tracy is the unsinkable Molly Brown!
😂😂😂😂 Thankyou Jan xx
I love the kind of work you are doing. I should have been a carpenter 😁 instead I became a accountant 🙄 how boring!!!!!
Tracy, Your Incredible Where Do you get that Energy from, an Amazing Mummy, Grandma & Partner To Superb Tony , Go Tracy ❤❤❤
Love Tracey and Terry together. Such a lovely bind you have x
thank you Terry for explaining the 400 & 401suite and great job you and Tracy are doing
Old looks with the advantage of modern commodities. Brilliant 👍
my Ancestors worked for Lord Pirrie, the designer and builder of the SS Titanic at Witley Park in Surrey, going to be amazing to see you transform the chateau in the same style as the boat
It is always impressive watching how you work as a team. Keep it up guys. Only wish I had your energy.😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Thank you Mark :)
I can’t wait to see the panels painted. I think the chosen colour is perfect.
Those ships were so elegant. The room will look so beautiful. I much prefer it to the usual chateau french style. Good choice.
That insulation is going to make a world of difference.
Thanks for showing examples of your theme. As always, you two make an amazing team! 😊
Can't wait to see the paint on the walls, so exciting! Well done!
Your continuous hard work has paid off, you should be very pleased with yourselves for achieving so much in very little time. Well done all 💕🇦🇺
I was put in a full on Moroccan style room in an Italian Villa. Imagine my shock and horror , I travelled all the way from Australia to see the sights of Italy
Thank you explaining again, again and again. Lol can’t wait to see it…
Brilliant idea for different styles in the rooms, like walking into the past....let your mind wander and rest. Wishing the entire family a blessed and joyous Easter.😊 🐰 🐇
I absolutely love this channel never missed a episode I think its absolutely fantastic what you all are doing and love the result and the imagination thats went into it is amazing fantastic guys
Those little round pieces of panel could be given as presents to the patrons in a placket with the date of the panel . Would be quite interesting to have for them from the château that they are helping to renovate
Love the idea of the white star line like decor.
Top Team!
I love to see your mom working beside all you guys. She has such a love for all of you an it shows.. as well as you guys for her it a great adventure for all of us. Keep up the great work ❤❤😊An please continue to share it with us.😊
I'm just so impressed how you tackle everything and know what to do. You must give all this a lot of thought before you start. Well done.
Stayed in the White Swan in Alnwick, Northumberland and their dining room panelling, windows, fireplace and features are from the Olympic. It is beautiful and the craftsmanship fantastic and well worth a visit.
It is a stunning place, we have stayed a couple of time and love it 🥰
Tracy and Terry, another hard day's work is behind you. Enjoy your well deserved gin break! Saunte!
This suite is going to be stunning 🥰 I love everything Titanic 🥰
It's really coming along wonderfully... can't wait to see it all finished up... be done before you know it. Sure is wonderful. Thank you for bringing us along and for saving such a glorious wonderful chateau... without you guys this place would be in a terrible state by now.
I love the color for the 400 suite. It will look amazing.
Would be good to hang the tv on a bracket so guests can swivel the tv whichever way they wish.
Your "400" suite actually WILL be unsinkable !
The decor sounds amazing, can't wait to continue this journey with you.
Thanks Denise 😊
I agree! Your decor style is very tasteful. I cringe every time other chateau owners paint things gold or put that awful gold leaf everywhere. On this side of the camera, their rooms look cheap and cheesy!
@@TheDooskinCO While it is not my taste either, the gold leaf is actually authentic for several architectural periods. Just think of Versailles! It was done in churches too.
Green is such a soothing color. Excellent job, your all so hardworking. ❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for explaining the 400 name and your point of view. I was confused about where you were coming from. Now that I understand it, I respect it. And good for you for not dwelling on the Titanic. That is such a complicated subject and strays from what you are doing. So good for the Olympic, for using the numbers and not the names, and for explaining your scholarship.
What a fabulous concept to use the ocean liners as inspiration for decorating.
Thank you ☺️
Tracy real is a herculean woman. I really admire her. Hope y'all have a restful and fabulous Easter!
Wel, done Terry and Tracy. Each bit gets it a bit closer to completion. I love the keel numbers. So, from now on I'll be singing The keel row! Tyneside folk song! Lol!
Love as always from County Durham xxx
Thanks Glenys :) 😊
Love the color and that ship's interior, the velvets...WOW...getting exciting kids...you guys always bring a smile, a heartfelt smile and hugs to your family and all the hard work and dedication to restoration of this beautiful chateau...CHEERS to a gin...sounds yummy...!
Hello Darlings It’s going to be one of the nicest rooms I’m sure. You are all so talented I’m in AWE ❤
I love your introduction ❤ I think it’s great to have the number rooms different from everyone 😊
It’s going to turn out just wonderful like the 3rd. floor.
Thank you 🙏 😊
Thank you so much for including the photos in your explanation. Game changer!!
The room is looking great already. I love your ideas for decorating. Son and mother working so great together. Enjoyed. Blessings.
You are doing an amazing job restoring all that wood. I hope others will use these vlogs as a teaching resource. 💕
Thank you ☺️
Love the green and Titanic theme but please NO red velvet!
❤ Enjoyed the episode. The Titanic museum in Tennessee was spectacular. Lots of treasures that they found on the ship.
Tracey & Terry, you both work so well together. I am with Terry, I had seeing cords everywhere. Amazing job.
Thank you ☺️
And I love the efficiency you use when clearing a mess. Bags are much lighter than bins and window dumping down into a wheeled container beats them all! I would have started with bins down the stairs and ended up being miserable. THEN figuring it out. Glad you used better brains.
Love that you are only using colour of ships and numbers and arnt putting nautical themes in in rooms (pressed send before I finished last comment by mistake😮)
I must say you're mom is amazing were she get the strength to keep that panels up that is amazing I am totally in love with the theme of the room Terry well done it look absolutely great and your details and thinking ahead is great Shaw the fireplace in the background it will look absolutely stunning Lots of hugs @ kisses ❤😊❤ Johann South Africa
Love that theme - good creative choice and it suits.
Thank you very much ☺️
it's fascinating that before Olympic was scrapped they stripped all the fittings and all the interiors and a restaurant" the Swan hotel / inn " was decorated with the reclaimed woodwork and interior panels and who knows several homes were fitted with the same reclaimed interiors in England and through out Europe .
Terry you and your mom are doing a great job putting the room back together after adding the vapor shield. Can't wait until the paint goes on. Hugs, Kathy 🇺🇸
Thank you ☺️
Tremendous work, and a nice finish. getting that ceiling in will be a bit of a challenge, but those large plasterboard sections should make quick work Have a great Easter
Well done as usual. I love the 400 idea for the room. I know it’s going to be absolutely lovely ❤
I love the whimsy you are bringing to the decor while still keeping within the spirit of restoring the Chateau!
Wonderful job,can't wait to see it all painted.👍
It's HAVING the different rooms that make it a "destination"
13:51 You are so creative with your ideas! These videos prove that you didn’t just stumble into this renovation. You had a vision for the entire project. Bravo! ❤️🎉
I can't wait to see this room finished:)
Your vision for your rooms are just wonderful! Liz
Hard work! 🏆 I just had an idea- You can explain the significance of each room number with beautiful calligraphy or embroidery/ needlework, frame it, and put it in each room. The 2nd floor suites are going to look stunning!
What a great job putting all that paneling back together!
The electrical is going in and the panels are going up. Good work you two .
It is amazing to see ☺️
