Can you imagine 100 years from now her grandkids saying, "My grandmother designed and printed this wallpaper by hand." What a treasure!
Philip: "I'm determined to make my wife laugh or leave me." This channel is everything.
Anna has a ‘dead pan’ look on her face.... Your humour is very international..... All the best with your Paetron account. You deserve all the support.
You guys are so funny with your creative take on filming your videos. The “skits” are hilarious from the perspective of husband and wife.
I love it too!
Me three 🤣
I found this fascinating! Phillip is the comic relief he deserves his waste pipe video. :)
🤣😂 I agree!
I was actually getting into the whole UK vs France waste pipe presentation :)
i dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Blaine Niko instablaster =)
I think it would be easier to just paint the design right on the wall. Like a mural. That is a very long process.
The fact that 13% of people wanted to see a waste pipe tutorial is funny
😂 because of the practical reasons I guess. They still need to do it in their castles, houses, chateaus, farms, bungalows...
@@m.m.6670hopefully it would be we who are stuck and not the pipes LOL
Anything for Philipp!
We are more likely to fix a waste pipe then make our own wallpaper❤️🇬🇧
That was sooo interesting. Hope you get paid bundles for that labor intensive art work. Philip, would love to clone your personality and spread it around the world; would be a much happier place!
I agree!
Anna, the wallpaper demonstration was excellent - clear, step-by-step instructions. Thank-you. And the outcome, beautiful. I believe having wallpaper workshops is a great idea. You have good taste in design. And Philip, with the embedded waste pipe segments - well I had to laugh. You are a great team. As always, I enjoy your vlogs 🌳

The linoleum stamp to make the wallpaper idea was just magical. I have done it on a much smaller scale for jewelry making with polymer clay and I too cut myself. I absolutely love how your wallpaper turned out, I would purchase that design for myself if I could, it has a “William Morris” feel to it yet it’s still modern enough for 2021-22, just lovely, you’re so talented.
I agreeeeee
Such an enormous job you've done, but the result is totally worth it! Just amazing! I admire your persistence, Anna 🙌
Com'on, is there anyone here who does not have a crush on one of these two? They are both simply delightful.
AGREE!...along with understated taste, ie some like the fluffy duck or gay parade taste... but these two have bags of class...carry on we love what your doing
Anna has it thick behind her ears. She is a box of fine chocolate, and Phillip has the key. Obviously, the language between them says it all. Darn, cute.
wow its fascinating to watch you create the wallpaper design. Also HILARIOUS how Philip tries to get in there to show off his waste pipe! haha
Anna, I can’t wait to see you at work teaching us about your wallpaper. I still think you should put it into production. It’s fantastic!
Phillip is funny! Makes me laugh every-time!
Anna , you are comming into your own at this stage of the renovation. Your experience and education are the rails for your talent and the chateau is the perfect canvas to showcase yourself !
Oh this takes me back to my school days where I learnt how to do Lino printing. I loved it! 💕 We printed on paper first, then fabric & I made a skirt. How I wish I’d kept it! Id love to try this again :) Hope Philipp gets to do his tutorial & it’s not just a ‘pipe dream’ 😆 Just love your channel you two, thank you ❤️🌷
I know my limitations: I'll NEVER try to do something as beautiful and tidious like this! All the "adjustments", lining it up perfect, repeat repeat repeat! Omg!
I'd make such a mess of it !!! 😞
@@bellaluna321 I would probably end up setting the chateau on fire while doing this... don't ask me how.
Me too, that's why I love watching Anna do it, it's marvelous! I just don't have a creative bone in my body so I would buy wallpaper and someone to hang it. All respect to these creative & funny people!
Hi Anna, I am a fan of Stephanies's (Chateau Diaries) and Michael Petherick's (Doing It Ourselves) and Michael mentioned you made your own wallpaper so I immediately went to watch your video. Thank you so much for explaining how to do the repeat pattern. I am an aspiring textile designer and was struggling with getting my designs to line up. By watching your video it has helped me so much. Thank you. And your wallpaper came out beautifully!
I can make repeats on Illustrator but never would have been able to explain how to do it manually. You make it look so simple!
Respect for what you‘ve done to the green room. Love that perfect imperfections!
Anna, you are so talented. Totally enjoyed this video. And what can I say about Philippe...such as funny and special person. You are a fantastic duo!!!
I love the fact that every time the video drifts into just being a straight tutorial, you break in with something funny and charming. So much more interesting and unique. ❤️
Oh wow. You blew my mind just with the simple repeat technique, I can’t imagine how to figure out the more complex ones!
This was amazing... Anna you are so very talented! No doubt you and Phillip’s Chateau will be extraordinary! Seriously there is nothing on the television remotely close to what you’re doing! I’m literally craving more episodes! The two of you are so charming, and attention to detail and taste is exquisite!
Oh my God. My entire life Ive wondered how they make a pattern repeat itself and connect at all the right places, on fabric. You made it appear so simple.
Thank you for this! My first job when I was seventeen, was working in a textile design studio in the garment center in NYC. I could not ever understand the repeat. Fifty years later, you unlock the magic. I imagine I could have researched it, but I just always thought it would reveal itself to me. What a great process! I love your videos and your spousal humor!
Love these vlogs. They are always interesting yet fun. Even the title of their channel is humorous. Both Phillip and Anna are so talented and the chateau is just stunning.
Absolutely amazing. I have no clue what she was talking about, or how she did it. I listened and watched, and I still could not comprehend her artistic BRILLIANCE.I equate it to me trying solve the Rubik's Cube. No matter how many times I try to figure it out, it is not ever going to happen. She is a genius, I am a dunce in certain areas. :-) This is a great channel. Philip is FUNNY.
Fascinating process. I remember doing this technique in school for an art project but didn't know the same concept makes wallpaper but it makes total sense now👍. The room looks so restful. Philip needs to do a public service announcement about not putting baby wipes in the toilet😁
That was amazing Anna. I can just imagine you going to places to have work shops in teaching this authentic wall paper design. It's time consuming, but so rewarding. Great job.
Or having them commercially reproduced?
Watching Anna was tremendous fun. I am not artistic enough to do any of this, but enjoy observing others who are. Oh, and that green paint, gorgeous!
This chateau is one of my favorites as the outbuildings look similar to the Chateau.. I have not seen this feature in many..They have beautiful style as well.
Hello Anna. The wallpaper looked absolutely amazing; you are a very talented young lady with tremendous patience and attention to detail. You have both completed an extraordinary amount of work in less than two years, and the results are truly beautiful. I became aware of yourselves after Stephanie's visit; you all seemed to get on very well which is great to see. Thank you also to Philip, his sense of humour works really well in the vlogs. Please keep up the good work. I have now subscribed.
I love Philip is so hilarious and Ana bringing way down with her more serious and matter of fact humor. ☺️😆. You two are so fun to watch.
Amazing how you created the wallpaper! Phillip does make me chuckle with laughter with his little ‘extra’ bits. I think we should let him have his day with the waste pipes 😂😂
Interesting video, Philip is the star of the show. He really deserves his pipe video.
The work you have done by yourselves, with the passion you have lavished, it's just breathtaking. I wish you so many guests!
Philip is so entertaining! The chemistry is right between the two and they could easily have a tv show
You two are adorable and have come up with such a perfect combination of inspiration, information and entertainment. I am loving your series!
I dare say, Anna, your tutorial is not only fun and interesting, also very instructive. Thank you, very inspiring!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Well, that was fun to watch. I now am adding wallpaper to my ideas for my house BUT the lino cutting part of this project - I could end up in the emergency room at the local hospital. That has to be the 'key' to getting a map for the paper. Mind boggling - you are so talented Anna, and patient. So are you Phillip, that pipe blowing was something else!
You guys are the best thing on youtube. Please, for the love of God... never ever quit!
Anna you are extremely talented. And Phillip you always make me laugh. You two are the best! Thank you. You are a treat to watch.
I am in awe of your talent & commitment to the wallpaper. If it were me, I would've gotten 1/100 of the carving complete, throw my hands up in the air, declare "this is for the birds" and then proceed to happily overpay for designer wallpaper. You are brilliant!!! Love the vlog!
Please put together an online wallpaper class! I would love that!
awesome job. Your talents shine through and I imagine this takes a lot more patience than you exhibit.
The wallpaper beautiful I‘m literally obsessed. I can't believe you did all the room by yourself.
Okay, you made that look so easy, and can I say, you and your husband are sooo sweet together!!! Job beautifully done!!!!
Your wallpaper is gorgeous. Thank you for showing your process, and how the handmade imperfections are beautiful. My husband, with his engineering brain, will enjoy seeing how you created this. He would also like the drain pipe info. 😆 Yesterday he was telling me all about the inner workings of our vacumn cleaner. 😏
Exquisite! The hallmark of a master is to make it seem so simple. Decades of honing your skills. Anna and Philipp, thank you for taking us along on your restauration adventure. You are creating wonderful, elegant rooms.
Absolutely facinating to watch. I loved seeing the process and now understand why hand made wallpaper is so expensive as it is so labour intensive. You must be so proud of yourself Anna as the green room is stunning and how many kids can say "Mummy made the wallpaper"? Phillip, you are an absolute scream. I adore your sense of humour and little quips, hilarious. You two are a dream team and I look forward to seeing more. Thank you.
The humor & sweet banter in your videos is cheeky and refreshing. The wallpaper is beautiful! Hoping the family is doing well and staying safe❣️
You should be really proud of that wallpaper, the room looks amazing! Such talented and lovely people, funny too!
Marvellous...we absolutely loved this! You know, we wanted it to go on, to see close-ups of the paint texture. What an amazing talented lady you are! You can repeat your workshops any time, we will be fixed to the screen.👏👏👏👏
You guys crack me up. Love the wallpaper printing tutorial, that was cool.
What a charming mix the two of you are! Phillip added just the right touch of delightful humor to your excellent demonstration. 💗
Love it!! I was trained as a textile designer & adore interior design but it never occurred to me to do my own wallpapers. So brilliant. Love your style & the humour you both have. Well done you
I want to see the waste pipe tutorial for Philipp’s antics😂
Me too!
Really enjoyed your printing Anna. Such talent! And Phillip, comic timing. Brilliant!
This is absolutely fascinating! I have learned something new today. Thank-you Anna! Philippe is hilarious and you have obviously a wonderful chemistry between the two of you. Yes, you are a GREAT team!!! Best of luck and success!!!
I am so proud of you... that is FABULOUS! The wallpaper is lovely too! ;). Have a wonderful week. I absolutely loved watching this tutorial. Thank you. xxx
Anna, that was brilliant! Really a tough act to follow with you wonderful creativity, cant wait to see more. And of course your playful man really adds the warm comedy. fantastic team.
Loved this and Philip’s humour always brings a smile to my face
You have achieved so much is such a short time. Your chateau is beautiful and so elegant. You could really teach a few other owners something! X
This was so amazing!!! More like this, please!!! Really inspired me to do my own. I had actually looked for how to create your own wallpaper but had never found something like this where the result is so beautiful and seems completely doable on your own. Thanks! 😍
I'd never seen the green room before as I'm quite new to the channel and it literally took my breath away. And I love the slight imperfections on the wallpaper as well, they suit the style of the chateau so, so perfectly!
My favorite channel! I didn't think I would be interested in wallpaper but after awhile I found it facinating. I also would like to see Philip's plumbing too. The video production is great and so are your individual personalities.
Thank you ;)
Oh, I want to come to the chateau for a wallpaper design workshop! How talented you are, Anna and how wonderful you and Phillip work together. I've done small lino block printing for stationery projects, but to be able to design, execute, AND hang wallpaper is a treasure ... and just the two of you. The sophisticated decor of your Chateau is refreshing and elegant, no heavy-handedness there. Thank you!
Stunning Anna! As an interior designer and artist, I really want to try this now. Thank you for this amusing tutorial!
Absolutely loved learning about making your gorgeous wallpaper and as a former manufacturers representative in the plumbing industry, thought the bits about the waste pipe were hysterical. Philip, most clogs are actually due to the sump pump being unable to cut through the baby wipes. Good pumps can even cut through belt buckles!
Thanks for the insights :)
OMG 😱 WHAT A LESSON! I am stunned how incredible this video was. Amazing job Anna and of course Philip with all the pipes too. 🤣🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏
I just loved the segment from start to finish the beautiful design in the green room. Such a great idea.
Your wallpaper is very beautiful and I'm so glad you showed us how you made it. This is such an enjoyable channel.
Another wonderful video. Thank you for giving us insight into your fantastic artistic skill and patience! The bits with Phillip were very amusing and made the tutorial even more pleasant to watch and learn from. Phillip, I'm not sure how much credit you are getting for being the cameraman but everything is always so well lit and dreamy. Anna's artistry would not be so lovely without the skill to show it off properly to us, so kudos to you as well!
Thank you very much :) Philipp
I loved this vlog. Wow! Making wall paper is so tedious, but the outcome is sooo beautiful! You are talented! And Philip just cracks me up with his humor!
That was truly inspirational! Since lockdown I have gone wallpaper mad looking and reading about the art and history of wallpaper and I must say your pattern is truly lovely. I can see you with your own brand one day and I look forward to your workshops on the subject.
This is fantastic! I’m dying to try it here in Paris now, but I think I’ll wait to come out for your workshop, hopefully sooner than later!
That was amazing! Who knew plumbing could be so fascinating... and the wallpaper was nice, too! Seriously, the time and effort for the wallpaper was mind-boggling! I loved watching the whole process. I'm putting this on my "repeat" list to watch again. You are such a cute couple and make a fantastic team.
Anna, you have such patience and you are so talented. I'm in Canada, but I wish I could see your chateau. What a lot of work, but you are always smiling and positive. Loved this demonstration. I had no idea you could do something like this.
You are so talented Anna! You have such a wonderful playful relationship with Philip and the love you share shows in each Vlog. I can't wait for your next posting... Hugs from Vancouver Island Canada
This is no tutorial.... it is a Masterclass! And the pipe tutorial cuts hilarious ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I always have a good giggle while watching your vlogs! Anna, your wallpaper has totally inspired me. I took a couple of printmaking courses and linocut was one of my favourites. I don’t know if you’ll ever need an apprentice in the future, but I would love to learn more from you!
That’s amazing how you do the repeat pattern! Who ever figures out these techniques?!?! Thank you for sharing this with us. Absolutely fascinating. My mind is still blown!
So two are so cute! I loved learning your technique and hearing all of Phillip's asides, haha! I'm amazed that you printed all of the paper for that room by hand! I have one tip for tiling in Photoshop if you don't already know it: Use "edit" > "define pattern" to save your pattern. Then open a new file of any size, click the half black, half white circle button at the bottom of the Layers panel, select "Pattern...," and click on the dropdown selection to select your new pattern and see it tiled at whatever size percentage you wish. I've been making my own patterns by hand for years but only learned that tip a couple of years ago and ever since my life has been SO much easier. Can't wait to see more of your videos!
great tip, thank you very much!
I love Philip with his dry sense of humor. I nearly spat my coffee out when the conversation came round to the size of the paint roller. Philips last comment! 🤣😂 I love these two lovely people and look forward to seeing every next episode! ❤️
You are soo patient!! So fun to watch! The green room is beautiful!
You two are the best wallpaper/ waste pipe team there is! Thank you for the informative and fun video! Love 'em!
Philip and Nathan's personalities make me laugh all the time
i like philip's sense of humour. And anna you're simply amazing !
I have spent hours working on repeat patterns for graphic design (books, advertising, etc.) I never had any training in this and now I am very excited by you brilliantly simple technique. The last time I really wanted to do repeat patterns was in high school art class (age 16, 1969) when we were learning to do silk screen printing. I did a three colour design for fabric and my teacher was sceptical but encouraging. (She hadn't anticipated anyone wanting to do repeat pattern). It worked reasonably well and I got a good mark for the project but never tried it again until, in my late middle age, a client asked for a design involving a repeat pattern. (imagine excited panic). It worked to the clients satisfaction but not mine because it took far too much time and I did not feel comfortable charging the client for my learning curve. Thank you so much.
Enjoyed the humorous banter on this video. You have great patience and talent , the green room is beautiful. Thank you for showing us how you did it.
Cannot believe the amount of work that went into the printing wow amazing and well done .. do you (anna) have a separate page/channel for your clothing... your style is 👌
Holy cow woman, that is amazing!!! Making your own wallpaper, I've done many things but wow, just wow!!!!
I had no idea that one could make their own wall paper. Very interesting and gives me so many ideas. I could make panels or smaller areas instead of a whole wall. Your room is beautiful and restfull.
Love the dry humour! I just love watching you two!
I love that wallpaper design and the tutorial. You're very talented Anna. Philipe really adds to the light hearted approach to the video. Very funny. xx
Ahhhh Philip. What a sad (yet simultaneously hilarious) opening! And trying to sneak in your waste pipe tutorial...great! At 11:15 was Philip deliberately being a bit off color. (If so, I loved it!) Anna, what a fantastic result. You are a true artist. (I guess Philip using the pipe as a didgeridoo shows a certain level of artistry...or eternal childishness!) You are both awesome!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Incredible process to making the wallpaper!! So much work! So impressive! Loved Philip trying to interject all about pipes!! Too funny! You guys make a great team and great videos!! Thank you 💗
Like a beautifully engineered silk print blouse. Prints that are a hodgepodge drive me crazy so I generally buy nicely engineered pieces or just go for solids or different textures. Love how she used the brushed paint to give it an aged look. I spent years renovating a very old 4 story home and loved the process - even when all the disconnected toilets were placed in he middle of my work in progress bedroom suite. I had a toilet in one floor, a sink on another and a usable bath on another. It ended up absolutely perfect for me and my family. I now live in a studio apt in NYC which requires very little but I do miss he house that I bought in my 20s and lived in for decades. I think this chateau is perfect for them. I look forward to their vlogs. Their home is wonderful.
Thank you Izzy!
Wow Anna, what a talent you are! The wallpaper is extremely gorgeous! And Philip is hilarious with his pipes :D
Anna that was such a great lesson. The wallpaper is beautiful! Thank you! Philip’s waste pipe tutorial was good too!
