I think Philips monologues are becoming my favourite parts...
I so agree 💯
Yes!
"..with a hint of avant garde without being pretentious." I am writing this down. Hilarious and true.
🤣 I was just going to leave this same comment! That had me roaring!
Best line ever!!!🥰😂😂😂😂
Running gag😊 😂😂😂
Philip's 'floral' on that fireplace mantle was perfect. It's a large and cool space so having the larger and dramatic green just breathed life into the entire room.
I agree. He needed to remove the bottom leaves for the arrangement to last longer, but moss covered twigs and sticks make an awesome structure on which to build a lovely, unconventional arrangement. I love arranging flowers myself, though I prefer to keep the flowers living in the garden, so, I often end up with making dried arrangements from interesting bits and pieces.
I agree
This man’s comedic timing and dry wit had me in stitches! Well done on the entertainment front for sure! 😂😂😂🙌🏻
I especially love the interaction between Phillip and Benoît lol
You can tell Phillip is a filmmaker. The filming of this came out beautifully.
I loved Phillip's commentary as he foraged for his floral arrangement. So glad Marie was kind with her assessment of your effort. I really like his arrangement.
I am really going to enjoy this channel. The chateau is beautiful, Anna and Philipp are amazing and their humor is priceless!
I loved the ending, had to chuckle. Well done!
Yes! loved it from the start and make an effort to settle back, with a wine, to enjoy - the journey each time!
I just discovered it because of Chateau Diaries. I binge watched. Hehe! Seriously considering becoming a patron to get the extra footage.
"I have everything I need; my basket--- I forgot my scissors."
This series is a delight. I think Philip was quite brilliant in his arrangement.
I liked Phillip's creation
Yes,it's a refreshingly different arrangement . Marie's are beautiful but they tend to look the same. Her technique is great though and helpful for this novice.
I loved Phillip's floral arrangement!
Omg he is so funny with his floral arrangement.
Actually Phillip l liked your arrangement best for the mantle. Its form and colors worked well with the simple, quiet grace of the room, not too fluffy.
Agreed. The double image in the mirror of the deep fresh green gave the room a sort of punchy-punctuation mark that it needed.
I know this vlog is a year old, but Philipp’s intent to show the girls he can assemble bouquets is priceless! I ❤️ this channel!
Philip, I’m going outside to find a single branch. How inspiring!
I sort of liked Philipp's creation
Great work !!!!
ME TOO!
me too hahah
Me too! I liked it in the breakfast room!
Me too😊I wondered if I was the only one.
I appreciate the sharing of skills among chateau owners in this informal way---mutual support without the constraints of a TV series contract. Anna, your style is what I'd hope to achieve (but doubt I could) if I were a chatelaine: understated elegance suitable to the property and its current purposes.
Such a creative ending ... and nothing wrong with interestingly-shaped, mossy twigs in flower arrangements. I've been doing it for years.
I preferred Phillip's green/fern/branch arrangement. I thought the flower arrangement was too insipid for the breakfast room.....
@@sallygardiner7150 Since I don't have a breakfast room, and since I don't dine, but ear, any winter arrangement suits me in any location. Green is always refreshing, though.
Constance spry😊
Phillipp is absolutely hilarious on your foraging for greens! The branch oh my! Lovely bouquets Anna and Marie!
I so enjoyed this episode, as a floristry tutor it brought huge smiles to my face. You laugh at Philippe's efforts, but actually I loved it and would be proud to display it on a mantel...... if I had one.
Even a bunch of Nettles can look stunning in the right vase, light and setting. I rather liked Phillip's woodland ensemble too!
So did I. It looked beautiful on the mantle.
I agree with Stephanie, it looks a lot like Ikebana.
funny when you see someone you know from another channel and castle suddenly pop up on another channel, lovely arrangements !
I could listen Marie's lessons about florals for hours.
Stephanie is always so gracious.
My first hint that Stephanie does everything in her power not to hurt someone’s feelings. You are so funny! The floral arrangement sketch was hilarious!
This was such a fun video. I was laughing so much while Phillip was foraging for his bouquet. That is exactly what my husband would do and then when he told Stephanie that Anna thought his bouquet would look good out in the garden. He is a born comedian. Very funny.
not gonna lie I actually think his bouquet looked quite good in the breakfast room ! That colour palette was quite good for the room!
marie's flowers were absolutely beautiful as always and anna did a great job as well. i love that there is a friendship developing between you and lalande. stephanie is right, your place is truly magnificent, the panelling is so beautiful, it's a pity you didn't start vlogging earlier and we didn't see the whole transformation but i'm thankful you're letting us be a part of it now :) also, can't wait for "come dine with me- the chateaux edition"!
Thank you, we simply were to busy these last two years and we needed to get the guest-house running to be able to continue the renovation. Also, we didn't know that people would be interested in seeing us working, we really got inspired to vlog by Stephanie's and Michael's brilliant blogs. We're very looking forward to the "come dine with me" but we' also know it will be a hard challenge, especially after having had Marie cooking for us one evening! :)
@@HowToRenovateAChateau philipp, you must invoke the power of the austrian and italian cuisine and then there will be no stopping you! schlutzkrapfen, kaiserschmarrn, a cheeky risotto, some gnocchi di zucca or a parmiggiana....i'll put my money on you! ;)
@@arielblumenduft3293 that's exactly the plan! :) I need to find Kürbiskernöl somewhere online...
@@sebastienleonardo1 i have dropped you an email :)
@@HowToRenovateAChateau Please consider waiting until it is safer to travel for a "Come Dine With Me"
So glad you're paths have crossed with La Landers. Marie has such a flair for florals and design and it's wonderful she has been able to share her talents with you.
Philips expedition in the woods was so funny Loved the video and Stephanie appearing towards the end of the video was a nice surprise
Beautiful Chateau.. everything in this was entertaining, fun humor, quirky and love seeing the 2 Chateaus blending together... can't wait to see more.. Guys named Philip really have great sense of humorist whit😉... I did like Philips arrangement.... hopefully he keeps fine tuning his style was great to see Stephenie and Philip appearances.. 🥀❤🍾🥂
The restrained style of your home and the the joy and humor you both display is so refreshing.
Great idea inviting Stephanie, Marie and Phillip to your chateau! Marie's floral designs were beautiful, romantic, natural and elegant...just like Marie! Poetry in motion!
I love your humor. The ending where you keep moving Phillips flower arrangement and then he moves it back is so funny~ and so real. See you next time! Have a great week!
Its a snowy day in NYC today and I feel nice and cozy at home watching both yours and Stephanie's vlogs today. So delightful to see the collaborations between the two chateaus. Marie's very natural use of flowers helps brings softness to large formal rooms.
I agree.
Technically, “chateaux”. With an X. I know, in English the S does work but those are French chateaux...sorry for sounding unduly pompous.
@@jean-jacqueslavigne3109 No offense taken.
@Lu Casting All the best with that. The language of the thousand rules and the millions of exceptions…
@Lu Casting way to go, then!
Philip's film style totally gives me Vogue vibes. Like the 21 Questions series or something. I envision a future collab hehe. ;)
Your chateau has beauty of symmetry and so tastefully decorated- love the colours
From Judy in Australia 🇦🇺. Marie is far kinder than my aunt who commented on a flower arrangement of mine when visiting my mother’s house. She looked at it and baldly stated: “I see you’ve been arranging the flowers again, Steve!” (Steve was her childhood name for my mother derived from her maiden surname.) I indigently replied: “I did those Auntie Pat!” She quickly said: “I see you’ve inherited your mother’s talent”. 😂😂😂 ❤️🇦🇺
So impressed by what you were able to forage from the garden.... In stitches over Phillip's foraging outing and floral design thought-process. He's a natural comedian.
Philip i loved your arrangement! Lol. Anna your in good hands with Marie, she is wonderful with flowers and truly creative with arrangements. Thank you for sharing your visit with us!
Your husband is so funny! We had a hearty laugh watching his antics, more of that please!
Philippe loved gathering all the flowers too. Anna did a great job arranging flowers. Everyone would create a different look.
Just love the overall tone of this series 😊
I love flowers, art and design, and I think Phil's arrangement was really cool and interesting. Stephanie's comment so on point. Good job!
“I have everything I need... except scissors... but who needs scissors” ✂️🤣
Loved this!! Marie is so talented and kind in her approach to helping Anna hone her skills in floral design...and watching Philip create was so sweet and so much fun..thanks for making me smile..
Impressed with your interior paint color choices. The off-white and various greens are fantastic. The floral arrangements were excellent - the orange roses were great contrast.
I honestly loved Philipp's arrangement...no joke!
Marie is such a good teacher!
The baroque music makes the chateau experience exquisite.
The video became so much more exciting when Philip started to do his own floral arrangement
Hi from Georgina (UK) I thought that the "rustic" display looked majestic on the mantle shelf!
Anna....I love your dining room...while you have a gentle lovely arrangement.. I think Phillips arrangement has the color and strength that suits the fireplace best.
I’ve just seen the three finished bedrooms on The Chateau Diaries and they are stunning! 🥰
Your chateau is so beautiful! You two have such a great sense of humor! Love the comedic aspects of these videos! Look forward to more!
I liked Phillip's bouquet! Particularly the mossy stick, Bamboo and Fern. Lovely! This was so nice to see Marie's beautiful bouquets being assembled, and to hear her describe the techniques. A friend of mine owned a florestry shop here called "Rubia." Every time I went in, the scent of the flowers and greens was so beautiful, I couldn't imagine anything more beautifully scented. Thank you! 💗💗💗
The parallel between Philip working hard (while napping on the couch in a previous vlog,) and Anna (checking to see if Phillip is around so she can remove his arrangement,) is hilarious! Too funny when he notices and replaces his!!!
Way to go Phillip, nice job for a "Green" designer. Marie is a great teacher. I'm hoping once covid19 is under control, I'm hoping to come over to la Lande to work in the garden and to plan a floral exhibition with Marie. Fingers crossed we can make it happen. I'm noticing the work we did on your #Tags has made a huge difference for your channel. Fantastic work, keep it going. Cheers
You both keep outdoing yourselves. Love the direction the editing is going
So lovely to see the Laplanders visit you, and I love the hard work you both do, very classy. You are inspiring, well done xxx🏰❤️🥂🍾
Marie is so sweet and encouraging and Phillip is such a ham!
💓I’ve been following Marie from the time she started💓She can make a room change with her arrangements💓
Watch, Philip will end up being famous for his Rustic” flower arrangements! 🤣😂
So lovely !! Nice "collab", the Lalander are so cute! Marie makes me want to go pick some greenery in the garden...
Oh my...a new Chateau channel to become addicted to! ❤️😳🥰
That was fun to watch and great to see ideas being shared between the two chateaux
Love Mari's flower arrangements, Nature never fails and must admit Philips arrangement I quite liked against the green wall , just the vase was just to big.
I liked Philipp's flower arrangement! I was thinking the same as Steph, that it had a Japanese feel to it. Very natural, restrained but with a bit of dramatic flare.
Marie is so smart in her foraging. I love her choices and she has inspired me to use the unusual. I still have my first Msrie inspired crock of winter greens on my outside table in an antique crock with huge thick fabric candy cakes. I can't seem to tear it down just yet.
Philipp’s arrangement is rather exotic. I love it!
Philip it's called Ikebana .... Japanese floral arrangement. I liked it very much !!
All the best..I think its wonderful how everyone helps each other.
I really enjoy your fun humor. This gives your channel such a personal touch that distinguishes your channel
I am really enjoying your channel. Philip’s humour is beyond entertaining! You play off each other well. Love what you have done with the chateau.
I really like Philipp's wood arrangement, it complemented the room with a striking boldness.
Love your healthy sense of humour! And I so admire the cool-toned, sleekly painted paneling and wall paper 💙💚 Thanks to @mariewiik for bringing her floristry tips and kind encouragement from Lalande! So glad to share your stories through this channel💗
I liked the stick Phillip put in his arrangement it was cute.
Lovely video! Love the fact that Marie, Stephanie and Phillip were there. Marie’s floral arrangements are amazing. Thanks for letting us into your world.
That was a lot of fun and as usual I learned something new with Marie's tutorial. Ahhhh I did like Phillip's flower arrangement in the breakfast room against the mirror sorry Anna
I actually loved Phillip's arrangement! It is so pretty!
Aww so nice to see you Marie what beautiful flowers arrangement. And Philipe yours are beautiful also .’
Super cute guys. Loved the end :) Marie, you need to do more colab content at all these blossoming chateaux, it's great to see more of you! And doing floristry, such talent.
I really enjoyed Philip's flower/plant arranging tutorial - he's very original and charming :)
I love the sparsity of this chateau, it is so elegant! Interesting to compare it to La lande...
Lol yeah ... there’s no comparison. This chateau is clean and orderly.
This was so entertaining...ticked all the boxes....Maries flowers and photography are beautifull I love her IG its my favourite IG account and as for Stephanie and Philip well they are part of my life really in a virtual sense of cause. Now I have found your channel I think I need to do some binge watching just to catch up. Lovely personalities both of you.
Haha! I just binge watched to catch up. So glad Lalande led me here.
Lovely, thank you. Enjoyed the humour and seeing some of my favourite Lalanda’s.
The channel had only 7k views a week ago and now 51k wow well done Marie and Stephanie for putting the channel on the map. I know I will be tuning in Anna and Philipp humour 😍 it.
I'm genuinely enjoying this channel, fast becoming my fave chateau channel. 💘
Philipps floral arrangement was amazing I think it brought the outside inside 🤣very clever 👏👏 wonderful to see Stephanie such a lovely lady ☺️xxx
Just breathing A rénovation with taste by a lovely couple 💑 Merci beaucoup
I am so enjoying your channel and very much look forward to your next video. This one had me giggling the whole time. Philipp's humour is a breath of fresh air duding these long cold hours in lock down. And I will never tire of seeing Anna's brilliant style showcased throughout the chateau. Thank you to you both!
New to your channel. The floral arrangements are so beautiful!
Thank you!
Just binge watched 6 episodes. Love the baroque music, very “Draughtsman Contract “. Very enjoyable. Thank you.
marié has such a soft eye, but she is also blest w/ a wonderful understanding of color and value of color, shadind, a admixture. she, herself, is a gem, and one of the few florists who know how to use the difficult, but beautiful color purple. finally, what she is doing in this vid is the very thing that pushes the cheateau diaries so far along in entertainment value, dyi, education, practical study, and the seeking of the natural world around us. i'm not one who is generally caught up in flowery comments and speech, but i see so much good done here in this venue. it is wonderful to address the big issues w/ flowers, plants, arrangements, lays, etc., in such big houses. drying, desiccants, and more are just outside the windows. wonderful and so deserving of feeling, attention, and touch. i noticed, btw, that he has a very nice basket, and i bet he can fill it very nicely. take some of the leafy green and partially spray some w/ light silver, bright white, and light lavender.
Great video. Philip certainly has a witty and highly developed sense of humor.
Love your vlogs. I can hardly wait for the new ones. And your château is probably my most loved. Love your design, your paint colors and Philip playing the piano was wonderful. You and your husband are a joy watching. Love your chemistry. Stay safe. ❤
I like Philipp’s creation. My wife doesn’t ask me to help arrange flowers even though we both garden. :) But Marie is a master-she is so talented.
I really like his Bouquet for the breakfast salon better because it is more organic and brings in a fresh touch of green
I just love your Chateau and the way you have designed it, so beautiful and I just love the flowers that Marie and your husband designed in this vlog.
I actually really liked Philipp's arrangement! And I thought it looked amazing on that fireplace! Would've taken it home with me instantly if I could! 🥰
