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.

So hard to believe that this renovation was 600 pounds even with you doing the work yourselves. This looks like a kitches that would have cost 10 times that amount. Amazingly beautiful and so cozy looking. Makes one want to just drop by and have a chat.
Thanks you so much ☺️
Wow, I didn’t associate all the stones removed from the old kitchen with the stones along the driveway. When I think about moving all of that material once I’m overwhelmed, but twice, inconceivable. Hours and hours of backbreaking work, what an amazing family and wonderful volunteers. I salute you 🖖
Thanks you so much ☺️
Wow!
So happy for Tracy! Her dream kitchen became a reality through determination and hard work. Tony, you are amazing!
Thanks you so much ☺️
Absolutely stunning. What an amazing achievement in such a short space of time. Well done to all, both big and small. Definitely deserves the GOLD STAR AWARD for kitchen design. What a wonderful team of workers. Work is play and play is work if you really enjoy it. People that happily work and play together grow and stay together. God bless your happy family. N.Z
Thank you so much ☺️
A dream kitchen.
Thank you!
2 things: I’ve forgotten more than I remembered how much work this project was and 2) how big Jonathan had gotten!
Thank you so much 😊
What a family affair that renovation was! Huge! Tra-LaLa-La-celle
Thanks Jan!
Phew, all that very hard labour, and now look at the result. It's just so beautiful ❤️
The kitchen is amazingly beautiful 💜
Hello sweet family. I wonder if you realize just how wonderful it is that you share your precious spirit with your viewers. Spreading kindness, joy and your abilities to restore history, you’re an inspiration. Wishing you the best in 2023. Be safe. Sending big hugs.
When Tracy was a bit overwhelmed at the beginning, Tony was there backing her up. This may be the nicest family in the world. And the hardest working.
Bonsoir, tous mes plus sincères vœux pour 2023, plein de belles choses, vous êtes uniques, magnifiques, tout mon respect.🎉🍾🍀😇
Merci Fabrice! Et Vous aussi!
What a transformation! Aloe of backbreaking work but it’s absolutely beautiful
So much work, patience, thought, and craftsmanship in evidence. The result: beautiful and functional.
You all did a wonderful job with the kitchen. Hard to believe it was derelict
Love how hard Johnathan worked! Great member of the family team.
He’s brilliant isn’t he :)
Thanks you so much ☺️
Of all the overwhelming tasks you have done, it’s the overhaul of the cottage floors that stand out for me - pure grit and LOTS of hard work! 👏
Thank you!
Fantastic! Simply amazing! Awesome transformation!
Gloriana! What a fantastic retrospective of all the hard teamwork (including Jonathan’s!) that made this dream of a kitchen a reality. May there be many, many years of happy meals made and enjoyed in this wonderful space.
Thank you so much 😊
Even though we followed the kitchen journey all the way through, seeing it using time lapse makes it seem even more amazing. It must be fabulous to sit there and have a meal or a cup of coffee each day
Thank you, it’s great to see the whole thing in one episode 🥰
Wow ..back-breaking work, but so many beautiful details, and a fabulous result. Well done!
Happy New Year! What a wonderful year 2022 has been to this old chateau and the cottage. Wishing you all many more blessings in 2023
Wow what a year last year was for your family..2023 promises to see more successes as you all work so well together ❤️
Thanks Susan!
Amazing hard working team, unbelievable wonderful results !
Although I have seen the process of this beautiful kitchen coming to life over the past year, seeing it in time lapse is mind blowing. The amount of work to pull this off is far beyond what most would ever do to create a kitchen. This is why people love you , because you work so hard and do it with a smile on your face and together as a family. The outcome is perfection!
Thank you so much 😊
As a former kitchen desig er, this space looks so cozy and grand at the same time. What a find those cabinets are.
Thank you so much ☺️
Wow. All that hard work, blood, sweat and tears made one helluva beautiful kitchen ❤ brilliant job everyone. And I can’t thank you enough for sharing it with us. ❤
Happy New Year everyone! I eagerly anticipated this video. You all worked so hard. That was back breaking work! But look at the results! Such a beautiful and cozy family kitchen. The heart of the cottage. Love how Jonathan was there to help throughout. Enjoy the many laughs and memories you will create around the table as a family. And thank you so much for sharing this incredible adventure with all of us. ❤️
Thank you so much! Happy new year to you too!
Thanks you so much ☺️
Dear Lord, the sheer amount of graft (and tons of skill) you guys put into that place. Great stuff, family, guests and volunteers. But the results are fantastic. It looks so good now, it's hard to remember the mess it was to start out with. Amazing, and bodes well for 2023. Thanks for the journey guys.
Thank you so much ☺️
I am beyond impressed. Stunning. Cannot wait to see what you have in store for us in 2023.
Thanks Linda :)
Just fabulous! Can't wait to see what you accomplish in 2023...Happy New Year from Indiana, USA!
I’ve followed you from the beginning and forgot how grotty the cottage was. You are all amazing. Remember when you were deciding where to put the staircase? At one stage you were considering the corner in the kitchen. Now it is where it was meant to be. And your kitchen it gorgeous. Ineke x
Thank you so much 😊
Jonathon is growing up before our eyes… He looks so little at the beginning and now he’s quite the young man. And the kitchen looks absolutely stunning… Well done everyone😊
An extraordinary transformation, love the wall colour ! That ceiling and your necks, bet your glad that’s all done now. Looks great!
Thank you so much 😊
What a family. What you have accomplished is Quite amazing 🤩
Such a spectacular space now, with such hard work! So good seeing all who helped in the process. Should be in a magazine!
Thank you so much 😊
I'm sure your first Christmas dinner in your new kitchen was so delightful!
What a massive amount of work you have all done its been none stop and shows just what you can acheive when you all pull together. The kitchen looks amazing. Xxx
Thank you so much 😊
The most stunning kitchen renovation I have ever seen. Absolutely a treasure of a kitchen. So happy for you Tracy!❤ Enjoy!!!!!
Thank you so much 😊
all your hard work has achieved a beautiful home how you've done so much is astonishing 🤩🤩
As always, thank you so much for sharing with us this life changing journey you are all on. Wishing you all everything you wish for yourselves in 2023.
Thank you so much 😊
Hi Jonathan, watching you throughout the year has been great, you learn so quickly and do your bit of hard graft to ensure the Chateau, the Cottage and the grounds are restored and regenerated in such a thoughtful way. I loved watching the wheel barrow races and you mixing the concrete in the mixer, hard work I know because I worked a couple of very hot days in a Queensland, Australia summer to help a friend build a fence and my job was to mix the concrete for the posts and wheel barrow it to each post hole. Would it be possible this year to show a day here and there of a day in your life at school or adventuring in your community or the grounds of the Chateau? You reminded me during this video just how much I learn on the job, having patient people who know what they are doing showing me the way, checking in to keep me on the straight and narrow and letting me get on with it, I find it is the best way for me to learn anything and it looks like that is what you do sometimes. Have a great year Jonathan and all the best to your family, extended family and friends for 2023! Love It! Melbourne, Australia where we are having a heat wave mid to high 30c, 39c Yesterday.
Oh my, we forget how much work was done! The kitchen looks wonderful! Every time I see a tour of the space I am always shocked to see how beautiful the stones in the bath doorway are, it really makes it look connected and ancient like it should. You all did such a good job. Happy for you!
Thanks you so much ☺️
This became a lovely kitchen after hard work and helpful people. This will be the hart of the cottage. Time for the next kitchen now in the chateau.
Wonderful result guys, the cottage kitchen looks amazing 😍 love it all!!
Your work ethic is simply amazing! And never too young to have the young ones help. That’s where a lot of us have made the mistake! Happy New Year to you all and to all the new adventures!🎉🇨🇦
Thanks you so much ☺️
I think it’s time you all took a holiday.❤️
Haha. As we all say here. Ey ey ey, we’re on vacation, every single day cos I love my occupation!
@@ashleywaters7198 😂😂😂
Lots of good helpers to make the dream kitchen come to fruition! It looks like a great place to work up a meal for the family. Enjoy it Miss Tracy!
Thank you so much ☺️
Awe even the little guy helping what a beautiful family with great values and this will be Beautiful Memories for all .Have a blessed New year and many great things to come.🥰🦋
I love how the little boy chipped in on the labor as well. Good teaching grounds.
It looks sooo amazing. Well done to you all. I just love it. 🏡❤️
Stunning... I could just live in the kitchen! I trust the old hay troughs will become beautiful flower/ herb planters outside the kitchen doors. 🤞😃🥰
What an enormous editing job it must have been to put this video together! But it brings into clear perspective the enormous amount of work you've done to transform the room into the wonderfully cozy kitchen it is today. It was really nice to see all the characters who were involved. A tremendous effort from everyone...bravo! I predict a very Happy New Year for you all this coming year! ❤
Thanks you so much ☺️
🏆Congrats creating such a beautiful kitchen. What a wonderful team effort. The cottage is pretty much sorted. What an accomplishment, as a family, you'll have rebuilt the château and cottage. I'm so happy for you all. Hopefully 2023 will be an even better year. Will you be using the lower floors of the château as a B&B? What do you have left to do to realize the glamping part of the dream? What's the status of the wall rebuilding? Will you be planting trees to eventually harvest for firewood?
You all have come a very long way. I love how and what you all are doing to this lovely sad property. All the best in the coming new year 2023!!!
Thanks Jean! You too!
Amazing work from start to finish. It was basically a ruin and now it is the heart of the home! Blood, sweat, tears and a supportive family made it happen. Happy New Year to all! xx
Thanks you so much ☺️
This is my dream kitchen. My kitchen is so small I don't have to make a step to reach anything. I am so used to it now. You have so much light in this kitchen that even cold feels warm. Congratulations, you all worked so hard in this, you deserve it and I am so happy to be along for the journey. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.
Thank you so much ☺️
Absolutely incredible. Look at what you have achieved! Tracy has the kitchen of her dreams 😍 now we just need to see the kitchen of the chateau completed. Happy New Year to you all x
Thanks Elizabeth! That’s next!
Thank you for a fantastisk show ( video) loved every minute with your talented family ❣️👏👏 Hope for more in the New Year 🎉 Stay strong and Healthy and wish you everything wonderful ❣️🤗
You had so much more vision than I ever would have. That you could have made that place livable, much less cozy, comfortable and gorgeous is amazing. The amount of time, sweat, pain and love you put into it has all paid off. You have a gorgeous home! Congrats!!
You have the most amazing teamwork
Absolutely Fabulous! A job well done to be proud of!
So easy to forget what it was when seeing how beautiful it is now. Amazing job! You all have worked incredibly hard and it shows. Very well done!
Thank you so much 😊
Tracy soo deserves this magnificent kitchen 🥰👍💚
Such an amazing change! Well done!
IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!! Well done all, I hope you enjoy many wonderful meals and laughs in this kitchen! ♥
Thank you so much ☺️
Happy 2023! Continued success with the renovations. Glad you had some time to relax this past week, much deserved. 🎉

Happy new year sweet family !!! 🥰😍🤩😘
Thank you Jetje! You too!
Happy New Year everyone!! ❤️🌎🌈😘
Happy new year Jan!
Undoubtedly the most complicated and demanding room project so far, but brilliantly realised by yourselves. The skill, effort and attention to detail are inspirational. Onwards and upwards 🥰
I really forgot how bad it was to start. You must be so proud it turned out so gorgeous!
Thank you so much 😊
A big shout out to Tony! Such a clever and skilled craftsman.
Kitchen and dinning area is so spacious and absolutely beautiful. Love the big cupboard, nice piece of furniture. All has taken a lot of hard work there, your family is awesome. Happy New Year and continued success on the remodel.
Thank you so much ☺️
Such a mammoth team effort. The cottage is now beautiful. Happy New Year to everyone.
A beautiful result. I hope the New Year brings even more wonderful things and times to all of you!
Thank you so much 😊
Perfection. Heart of the home...ssoooooooo much work!
Oh, that kitchen is so very beautiful! What a fabulous job each of you did!
Thank you so much 😊
Absolutely stunning! It's a chefs kitchen, a farm house kitchen, an eat in kitchen. I want to cook in there! I LOVE IT!!!
What a transformation! You are miracle workers! The Fabulous Five and helpers have created Shangrila!!! And like the Ever-ready Energizer-Rabbit, you keep going, going, going!!! Wowza!!!
Wow what a transformation team I have followed you all from the beginning, and its great that you have shown the time laps as people would never believe what you all have achieved, I put myself in Tracy's shoes as we have lived in 4 houses during 64 years of marriage ha ha I always got told off by John who sadly died 2 years ago for being out of time when levelling the concrete flooring with him 😀 😉 still my days of DIY are over now but I'm so thrilled to be in a lovely bungalow now and my grandsons do all the heavy jobs but I still do the mowing, my son reckons I could get a job at Wimbledon 😆 I want to wish you all A Happy New year for 2023 stay well be safe and enjoy your wonderful kitchen I will look out for your next vlog take care 💕
This was a labour of love! No doubt about that! And the result is stunningly Cozy and homely. I admire every one of you, even Jonathan, who took so much pride in the work that he did. I love you guys! You motivate us all to do things we may not have tried to do before. Happy New Year! 🥳🎆 and God’s Blessings for 2023!
Thanks you so much ☺️
Even though I've watched every video on this renovation from the very beginning, it's alarming how much work I'd completely forgotten about. At many points in this compilation, I remember thinking about all the times I questioned some of the decisions you made. I'm happy to say I was wrong about all of those times. It's absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us!
Thank you so much 😊
Happy New Year to you all, all that hard work has totally paid off, the Kitchen is beautiful
Wow ! Love the transformation ! 💕
Happy New Year to you all! You have a beautiful kitchen. You were lucky to get such great cabinets second hand even if they required a fair amount of work. Looking forward to see your upcoming projects.
Thank you so much ☺️
What a great result! Happy New Year!! 🍾 🥂
I watched this happen and I’m still exhausted watching this speeded up version. When you started taking out that floor I just said, “Oh Lord, give these poor folks renewed energy.” Because it was so much rock. I couldn’t believe it. They must have gathered every rock from every field for miles! It has turned out so well and I can’t wait to see all of you sitting around the table enjoying a meal. I was just wondering how far is it from sink to stove? On TV it looks like a mile but I’m sure it’s not. Now for your bedroom upstairs which I know Tracy is dreading because of all the small rocks. Are you planning to put a wood burning heater upstairs? I know Stephanie is really loving the ones she’s put in. Good job all of you! So very proud that you’ve now got a working kitchen the heart of the home ❤
What an amazing transformation!! You guys rock!! Happy new year!!
Thank you so much 😊
Happy New Year everyone 🎉
Thanks Shelby. You too!
So amazing to look back from start to finish. Simply stunning and well done to all for the hard work
Thank you so much ☺️
It's absolutely gorgeous definitely a great pick with furniture , and I'm so in love with colour .... enormous amount of work x
Wow it’s amazing love it thanks for sharing
Thanks Christine :)
Happy New Year 🎉 You took a ramshackle barn and turned it into a palace...team work definitely made the dream work. Cheers!
Thank you so much ☺️
I remember commenting on one of the first videos, when Tony first roughed out some plans for the kitchen that originally included the staircase. You have all worked so hard together to create an absolutely beautiful family kitchen. Such a wonderful, hardworking and talented family.
Happy new year Blackpool England uk
