Join us in taking a look back at everything we have achieved this year! 2022 has been full of ups and downs, steps forwards and steps backwards, but as a whole we have made so much progress!!
This main focus this year has been on finishing the dining room, doing the majority of the salon and beginning the utility room! The salon has been a long and slow progress, but we are so happy with how it has turned out and we cannot wait to see it finished.
Thank you so much for joining us in 2022, and we hope to see you all in 2023!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Best wishes,

  • I love how you guys restored it instead of destroying by making it "modern" beautiful! its not often you have a house that's just a work of art like that!

    • Most castles in europe are renovated like this where you only change what has to be or needs new technology implemented. All in effort to preserve the sites. You won't see a pink castles sticking out from the countryside construction laws are heavily regulated.

    • Love your hard work, though I would have made easier for me on the ceiling renovation. I think it would have been easier to complete the ceiling medallions on a table, gluing parts, painting, etc and then applying the finished product on the ceiling. Beautiful work. Congratulations on such gorgeous result.

    • Totally agree. Nearly all videos on YT are a pain to watch because the very first thing the new owners do is throwing everything of the interior out. Then they install new plastered wall, new plastered ceilings, modern bathrooms etc. So the whole original soul of the building gets destroyed. One wonders why they bought an ancient building in the first place when they prefer modern aesthetics. Such a shame. This is the first example that I have stumbled upon that really tries to preserve the style of the 19th century. What a great job!

We have done a lot of DIY however ours have been minuscule in comparison. 🙌🏻☺️ You should be so proud of where you are now and we can’t wait to see what comes next. Thanks for the inspirational ride 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️ Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year and hopefully you will have a well deserved break. 🎅🏻🥂🎄 Regards Shaz and Baz Australia ❤

  • This video not only shows the amazing amount of work you two have accomplished this past year but how well you both complement each other's skill sets as well as how detailed and respectful you both are to your particular craft in this restoration project. This video also highlights how much you two are smiling and laughing throughout this project. One has to have a sense of humor and some majors skills to take on such a huge project- Carole and Adrian, you two are amazing and you are killing it in bringing this old chateau back to her glory days. Beth, you did a fantastic job of putting this video of 2022 together. Merry Christmas- drink lots, eat lots and be as lazy as you want over the next couple of weeks.

  • "wow" what can I say, words can't express what you two have achieved together over this past year, I commend you both for your hard work, due diligence and keeping your eyes on the prize, you have achieved what most couples would have killed each other over and lived to talk about it. Carole, you have the patience of a saint with the pain staking work on the molding to get it just right the gilding, the wallpaper per each room, Adrian the hard muscle work you have done over this past year, the chandeliers, floors, the gardens you both worked on and Carole your mum as well, this could go on forever so let me wrap this up. I can't wait for next year's projects. LOL. Happy/Merry Christmas, take some well- deserved time off and enjoy. Much love from N.Y.

Your eye for detail is to be commended as not many people would be able to create a more beautiful room better than the original. So my next question is when are you finishing off my room? Merry Christmas to you all and let’s hope that the new year brings lots of prosperity and love…and my finished bedroom ❤️

    • 25:27 Lovely lady, What courage and creativity and discipline you have to restore this chateau to such beauty.. You and have inspired me to get off my comfy armchair and clean the windows and damp dust all surfaces and get my home into a lovely warm inviting orderly place!. Much kudos to you and your man helper.. I would have like the chandelier to be lighter in colours.. it’s a bit dark and heavy for the rest of the fresh gold leaf and light lovely paint.. The wall paper in the panels is a superb match.. The texture and richness of the tall curtain drapes blends brilliantly.. I could go on but must stop..
