Six Paintings and a Chandelier | Chateau Entrance Hall Restoration - Journey to the Château, Ep. 195
In this week's Friday episode, Patrick and Stuart do some final work on the restoration of the doors, walls, and ceilings of the chateau entrance hall. They also put up some large paintings that require the use of the scaffolding before it is removed from the grand staircase, as well as adding a chandelier to the new entrance of the bed and breakfast suite.

Edit to add: The entrance is gorgous and so elegant! When the Entrance is all done, polished and dressed, you should post a before ( when you first arrived) and then with the completed area that shines with your love and attention! It'll be fabulous!
Thank you Kathryn. Great idea and I love it ❤❤❤
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 😍
I remember what it looked like. A total transformation ❤
Flowers, gorgeous! Dog art, hilarious! Chandelier marvelous!
Thank you so very much ❤❤❤❤
Totally Agree Absolutely love love ❤❤❤
So nice to see you are turning this into a comfortable home rather than a blinged up museum, i adore the dog pics.
Thank you very much Martine. It is a home and for guest a home away from home. But it won’t be a museum. 😊❤😊. It was built as a home. Great comment 😊
I would love to see a slow all encompassing reveal of walking into the entrance hall and up the stairs case onto the two landings and then into the bed and breakfast suite, please. I am impressed with what I have gleaned from your make over! ❤
Hi Lynn. I actually did that for our patrons two days ago. We will make sure that we do a walk through from entrance to B&B room soon. Thank you ❤❤❤
Me, too. I didn't really feel like I saw the whole beautiful picture.
One doesn’t realise how important the entrance is for a house: or should I say how important the “vestibule” is for a “château”! Not only for us, your KZhead followers and faithful admirers of your achievements, but even more for the many guests you will soon be welcoming in your lovely rooms. After the hundreds of hours of hard work you did in the staircase their first impression of your charming property will be imperishable 🎉
OK……. Thank you you so much for making that point. You are absolutely right and I love that you,pointed that out. Huge hugs from Colombe. Absolutely love your comment ❤❤❤
It's amazing what you guys have achieved in such little time. Now that your entry is beautifully done, it is a reflection of you both..... Warm and inviting. I love the flowers that you grow to create the gorgeous bouquets. They complete the room. Wonderful ❤
Gentlemen, I do belive you have a glorious chateau! That entrance hall says it all. It is the perfect introduction to your home. Bravo!
Thank you very much. The hall is truly beautiful. We love it. And it is the first impression. Spot on. Hugs❤
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Hugs back to you both. BTW - very proud of Stewart for getting up on the scaffolding and ladder to get the paintings hung. Relieved that you are both no longer venturing into the heights. At least for now. Have a lovely weekend.
I really love the two portraits of the dogs. Everything's looking beautiful.
Jerry, thank you so much ❤❤❤. We painted them 7 years ago and are thrilled they are home 😊😊
Bravo! In the chaos of renovations, it's so important to pause for a few moments to admire your progress.. so glad to see that you included this today. You both have made the chateau foyer so fresh and charming. Thank you for taking us along on your restoration journey...
You are so kind Tracey. Thank you very much ❤. We need to stop and appreciate the progress….. even though we often forget. 😂😂😂. Hank you for being ok the journey with us. ❤😊
The Boys did it again 👏 🙌 💙
❤❤❤ thank you Brenda ❤❤❤
Love the panel that Stuart just installed above the doorway. Those choices make such a difference
Thank you very much. I agree with you, these seemingly small things have a huge impact. Hugs ❤❤
Guys, what a fantastic job. I love the portraits of the dogs. I can't wait to get a tour of the finished product and kudos to Donna for encouraging the change.
Karen, we are so grateful to Donna for pushing us. And we will give a tour soon. Promise ❤❤❤
I am sure those who built your chateau would have really have appreciated your modern day scaffolding and aluminum ladders. All the new products available. Its looking wonderful .
You are spot on Rosemarie. They’d have loved it. ❤😊
The hallway looks magnificent. You must be thrilled with the progress. Well done Patrick & Stuart👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much Barbara. We are over the moon. 😊😊😊
Six paintings and a chandelier sounds like a Hollywood blockbuster. :)
😂. And no funeral! 😂. Although we buried the old ugly 1970s decor….. 😊. Hugs
I just love the formal dog pictures that you both made. What a great way to commemorate your furry friends.
Thank you Susanne. It was one of my crazy ideas I had and we both went for it. So glad we have them. And both Lizzy and Fitzy are still with us. Thank goodness. Love them in the happ ❤
Each video gets better and closer to finishing. Crack on! Gorgeous Chateau
Hugs Dennis. We absolutely will, even though we are so tired…… 😂😊❤. Hugs
Wow! When you guys get moving there is no stopping you! Everything looks beautiful.❤️
Thank you Nancy. We had so much prep work to do and now we could finally finish areas….. how amazing. Huge hugs ❤❤❤
The entrance hall is not only grand, it is inviting! That is not always an easy thing to do. I am so glad you have both taken a moment to enjoy your accomplishments! I love the way the chandelier shows through the window. (And, of course, the dog duke and duchess portraits!) The patreon gesture with the fountain is very sweet.
It looks amazing 🤩. Patrick you're really impressive on the scaffolding. I couldn't go that high without freaking out.
Hi Amy. Thank you very much. I don’t mind working high up. But I cannot do tight spaces. ❤❤❤. Hugs and love
Hello again my darling Stuart and Patrick . I can never watch the vlog and do the live chat at the same time 🤔. I must say the both of you look much brighter this week and not as tired looking. I would imagine it must be a good feeling that your making so much progress and the entrance hall is just fabulous and the paintings really give it that Chateau/ stately home look. I was going to send some little paintings I did for the chateau, but now when I have seen what fabulous artists you both are I don’t think so. 🤭🫣🤫 I just love how you added the clothing on the dogs it’s just sooooo cute 😃. It really says a lot about how you both have a fantastic sense of humour. Big hugs from me. 🥰🥰
Darling Sheila. I will join the chat and then watch the video. I cannot do it at the same time either. We are happier but very tired after 3 months of 16 hour days, with a a few exceptions 😊❤. Please don’t hesitate to send us paintings you did. Stuart is an artist and I just paint. We’d be b Essex to have paintings done by you. ❤❤❤. So we do think so! 😊😊😊 We used two Gainsborough paintings as the inspiration. Each did different parts. It was great fun. Love from Colombe darling
The chateau needed so much TLC. So far you both have exceeded anyone's expectations in the amount of work done in the short time that you own the property and the beautiful work accomplished! Everything is looking more and more beautiful with each final touch. ❤
Thank you so very much. That is such a phenomenal comment. We really have made a difference in how the chateau looks more welcoming and friendlier. It feels great to have made a difference already. Love from Colombe ❤😊💝
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 You certainly have made a big change. Elegant and welcoming, not like a museum, cozy, a decor true to its age and with unexpected original touches, with the fine taste of two gentleman that are great hosts and delicious food, the chateau is the place to be this coming season!Love from SoCal. 💝
Aloha Patrick and Stuart, HURRAH! I had to watch this video twice, as it’s so full of gorgeous. The lilacs and irises look fantastic. The chandelier looks beautiful. The dog paintings brought to mind the word,”Puppy Love.” Great work🐾♥️🏰.
It really looks beautiful! But you two are the best part, sweet, humble, and smart! Awesome!
Ronnie, you are the best. Thank you ❤❤❤
I would have cheered too, getting the rest of that wallpaper down! The entrance and stairway are so bright and beautiful! I love all of the pictures, especially the dog ones.
It was a glorious moment ❤❤❤. The hall is truly welcoming now. We are thrilled that the dog paintings are back up. We painted them 7 years ago. 😊😊😊
Love the chandeliers, the staircase, the wrought iron. The music, love love.
Hi Patrick and Stuart, Another amazing transformation now of the front entrance. It almost looks like a museum but it is so much more a reflection of both of your personalities. Another project checked off and done. Mark & Scott
Your place looks more beautiful with every episode. A jewel, no longer in the rough! ♥️ I always look forward to my twice weekly dose of your amazing progress, whether it’s indoors or outside, fundamentals or finishing touches, and everything in-between. 🙂
How satisfying it must be to have completed the work and decoration of your entry hall. It makes a better statement to all that arrive through your front doors. The pictures of the dogs are adorable.
It feels great Eve. We are tired but happy. You are right, it is so important to have the first impression being a statement. 😊. Glad you like the oil paintings of our pooches❤😊❤. Hugs
The flower arrangement is just gorgeous! The dog paintings show the wimsey and humor a great home should include. The little (sort of) chandelier is beautiful! Thanks for cheering me up today!!
Thank you for a wonderful comment Carolyn. So glad you like the flowers and the paintings we did 7 years ago. We hope all is well with you and your family ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
You should be very proud of all your talents and efforts to make this the most beautiful and welcoming entrance into your Chateau. I can just imagine how everyone who enters is fortunate enough to experience the smells of fresh flowers, sights enticing the eyes with beautiful tones of French Grays, the staircase and paintings and moldings. Oh Oolala! Hint: if you place two nails approximately 4-5 inches apart when hanging artwork; they won’t tilt when the door slams. It’s worked for years for me. Also keeps you from dragging a very tall ladder in to straighten them. Love and hugs 🤗 😘
The chandelier looks wonderful! The chateau is becoming more and more beautiful. I love everything you have done Patrick and Stuart. Love your videos! 😊
Lilacs ! Nothing reminds me of France like Lilacs!❤The entrance of one’s home is like a window into the family’s soul - yours is elegant , warm and inviting !❤❤❤
Everything is transformed!!! That small chandelier is lovely. Kudos to you both.
Thank you Bobbie. It is so different. Huge hugs. ❤❤❤
Particularly love the paintings of the aristocanines! The entry looks lovely. What a huge effort in a short time.
I’m sure with all the work done it deserves hundreds of👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! ❤️
Thank you and bless you ❤❤❤
Patrick & Stuart I regret to say it’s been a minute, I can’t believe how much you guys have gotten done. The entry hall is absolutely stunning. The flowers are absolutely stunning. I bet they are intoxicating You both look great Patrick. I love your hair you wild man you!! 🥳😎 sending love from LIZ in California. I will be in Germany this summer and if I get the chance, I would love to come see you in the château.
What a difference. It absolutely exudes elegance and I love the doggie paintings in full gilt glory.
Thank you so much. We love it. And our dog paintings….. so happy we finally have them up. Hugs from Colombe ❤
What an extremely pretty little chandelier! Terry really will be jealous!
All that preparation work on the electrics, cleaning the chandeliers and you blow the circuit Patrick?! 🤦😂And I wasn't expecting to see Stuart up on the scaffolding 😲👏Those long last days were worth it to finish so quickly. Hope you, your friends and guests will long enjoy the beautiful results of your labour.
How bright the main entrance and stairs are now with fixings and paint made such a difference already even with that little bit left to do. The paintings add lovely drama and traditional look with a bit of whimsy is too cute a great tribute. That petite chandelier is so cute and pretty.
Thank you so very much. It is lovely coming down the staircase now. 😊. Love your comment. Hugs from Colombe 😊❤😊
The Dog paintings are AMAZING! Kudos to you both!
What a beautiful bouquet of flowers behind you both in the entrance which by the way is coming on nicely, bright and inviting the chandelier is stunning 😍, music was lovely once again Stuart take care and see you both next time have a great weekend 💕🌼🤗
I suspect Donna will love what you have done! It looks beautiful.
Lilacs and irises just beautiful! I can almost smell them.
I was amazed at the two dog portraits gorgeous. Everything coming together very classy but not overdone like some other Chateaux it is your home after all.
Thank you replying Patrick. It was just curiousity, not a criticism. I mean, what is there to criticise, yr chateau is wonderful! I love sharing this journey with you & Stewart x
It's really good to see the entry getting done and paintings up , you've both done an amazing job. The flowers are stunning x
Patrick your arrangement of flowers is gorgeous 🌸🌺🩵🌸🌺🩵the chandelier,very pretty😊🦋🌺🩵❤️🇺🇸
WOW, WOW, WOW! The grand entrance hall and especially the doggie art and chandelier look absolutely beautiful! Its hard to believe its the same place isn't it! I love your personalities putting a special addition to the Chateau, I really do. Well done to you both guys and the people that helped. Its truly amazing, I love it. And being part of the prosperity of the fountain... you tease lol.. time I signed up I feel lol. And those flowers looked lovely. So much happening now. I have been so busy with work and projects that I have KZhead piling up, but I do love a quiet morning and being able to relax and watch a couple of episodes at once, its like "BINGE" watching a show lol. 😘😘
What a transformation. I went back to the videos when, have to say, it was a torn up mess. Who would have "thunk" you would make such a beautiful statement of creative beauty out of that mess. 😍 Aaaand, I think in record time. Love your 3 minute flower arrangement, by the way. ❤️
Thanks so much, gloria! 😊❤️
Somehow there is always a long time when nothing seems to improve then suddenly you can see the change. You must smile every time you walk into or through the hall. And the bouquet is gorgeous!
I’ll have to echo many of your other comments & say I love the dog paintings the most. They’re all beautiful but I really love those.
Chandler is just beautiful!! Also the entrance and pictures are just beautiful!! It sure came along way and looking beautiful!! Love lilacs. Just smells soo gooood!! I can already smell them!!! Lots of love from Tennessee!!
Loving you right back April. How is Tennessee doing? We love how the entrance hall turned out and enjoy decorating it. Hugs from Colombe ❤❤❤❤
OMG…the dog pictures are perfection.
Thank you Linda. We painted the dog paintings 7 years ago. Each some parts. It was fun and we are happy they are home. ❤❤❤
Absolutely adorable chandelier, it’s stunning. Well chosen and hung.💕❤️💕
Stuart and Patrick, what can I say that hasn't already been said by so many others? The entrance looks fantadtic, clean and bright. What an amazing difference a little paint makes, and some plaster and sanding, wood filler and molding and hard work. The chandelier looks so pretty. I love the effect it has when viewed through the window. I adore the smell of lilac.❤ It's one I associate with Spring. It brings me back to my very early childhood. I have a variegated iris with blue flowers blooming right now. They look so pretty on the plant I can't bring myself to cut them. Bring on the guests! They're going to love the place. ❤ from TX!
It is amazing how much you two have accomplished since you have been there. You guys should be very proud of the transformation that has taken place already 😊
Thank you so much! 😊
The flowers are glorious, the chandeliers are stunning, and the entrance is beautiful and elegant! Well done ❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊
@@JourneytotheChateauLeigh, thank you so very much. ❤❤❤
Love the dog paintings - they add that touch of whimsy! It seems like so much happened in the last week and a half, but of course, it's the final push to decorate after all the prep and it's the prep that takes the time! Still, it's so satisfying when you get to the painting and decorating stage!
Thank you so much. It truly seems like the last 2 weeks sees the work….. 😊😮. But indeed, as you said, it is the conclusion of many moths of electrical, plaster and other works. It is truly motivational to push through to the first guests. ❤❤❤
The flowers are absolutely gorgeous! The hallway is looking spectacular!❤️❤️
❤❤❤
All the work and artjstry you two put into everything is inspiring to me!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏰🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
thank you so very much ❤❤❤😊😊😊
The “little chandelier “ looks gorgeous through the window. Love it. Missed the premier to get ready to do taxes 😣😅 Have a fantastic weekend! 🫶🇨🇦
Thank you. It is a cute chandelier. Happy tax season. Hugs ❤❤❤
I just finished last year’s tax. I have to do this year’s in July😱😱
@@jennifercampbell7698 oh no. I finished our for the USA this week and have to do the French ones……. I feel your pain 🤗
I use a tax agent but it still takes ages to get my details together ( and I’m not getting any younger 🙄)
Fabulous 😊. Elegant and tasteful, what a transformation. So excited to see the bedrooms furnished and dressed.❤
Thank you so much Sue. We love the hall and are excited to show the bedrooms….. ❤😊❤
This is so very exciting, Patrick & Stuart! I remember in the very beginning when you were painting swatches of color on these walls & now, here we are, after so much hard work, witnessing an almost finished entry hall!! So very satisfying & job well done, both of you!! 🇺🇸
OMG! Hi Stuart and Patrick! I am in Awe of what you both have accomplished in the Entrance Hall! Now that My legs have stopped shaking from watching you Both up so high, I can Enjoy the finished product. I was scared enough for Patrick up there but seeing you, Stuart, who we know is not fond of heights, up there as well, well that was almost too much! I hope you are now all done with platforms & scafolds😅. Please take a minute to film all around the stairwell and walls so we can see everything including the paintings. I’m So excited to see it all! I feel like the building itself is So Happy to look so beautiful❤❤❤
Thank you! I don't think I ever said I had an issue with heights. As a hobby, I worked for many years doing scenic design for theaters where I was on much higher scaffolding and up on the catwalk over the stage. We will film the full entrance hall once it is completed, but we still have more decorating and detail work to finish first. ❤️
What a transformation of the entrance hallways. Yiu guys have worked so hard and it looks brilliant. Well done.
The petite chandelier is stunning. I love what you have done. Such a beautiful transformation! 😘😘
Thank you Wendy. The chandelier Stuart foil adorable. We are making such progress. How are you? Love to Chicago. ❤
The dog portraits are the best!❤
That chandelier is magnificent. 😍. And the entrance is soooo beautiful now.
Thank you. I love your comment ❤❤❤😊
You two are amazing! Such attention to detail…….looks wonderful👍
I love the all of the paintings but I adore the puppy paintings the most!!!!!! They are adorable and now I just saw the rose painting, we have very similar taste in art. I have the same types through out my Manor.
Everything looks great! Especially love the dog pictures!
Thank you Patty. So glad you like the pictures. We painted them jointly 7 years ago and love them. ❤❤❤
the paintings are so beautiful and the gold frame really makes them look rich. Perfect hall chandelier.
Thank you so much! 😊
Hi Pamela. We love the large paintings. 😊❤😊
👍👍 I'm in love with the dogs portrait and the vase with roses.🌹🌹 The environment is getting enchanting 💯
Thank you so very much. We are so happy to have our dog portraits up. It feels wonderful to have projects coming to a close. Hugs from Colombe ❤
I love how you each have your own talents. You work so well together. It is lovely!
Thank you Eva. You completely got us 100%. Love it ❤❤❤
Beautiful transformation on the entrance hall. Love the chandelier. It’s coming along nicely … from PA, USA.
Wow what a transformation , such a lot of hard work , beautiful paintings and chandelier sets it all of and the flowers from your garden add that finishing touch ,I'm looking forward to seeing the fountain installed , I think you will both need few days off after all that hard work
Thank you so much 😊
Hi Lynn….. we do need a few days off but there is no break anytime soon….. Glad you like the paintings we did of our dogs. Fountain is on its way…. Give us a few weeks. Love from Colombe 😊❤😊
The entrance is looking fabulous! Can’t wait for the full display. Love your artwork. You both worked so hard on finessing the outcome. Although you wouldn’t have got me on the scaffolding, especially with no safety rail at the back. Quelle horreur!!! 😱😱 I’m glad you are taking time to enjoy the entrance hall. It must change the whole mood and feeling when coming inside now. And next finalising the B&B rooms and then installing the fountain. Wow, what a change you both will bring to the Chateau. I’m thrilled for you both! And I’m sure your guests will be impressed as I. 👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️
Thank you dear Jennifer. We are looking forward to a walkthrough when we are finished. 😊❤😊. And I know the rail would have been nice… 😮😊. But the parts we had were too high. So I had to work on it and be 100% aware and careful. It is such a different feeling when we enter the chateau. Hope our guests will appreciate it as much and you and us. Love from Colombe 😊❤😊
Lovely bouquet, I was studying it more than listening to Patrick, I do apologize. What a fantastic springtime combination of iris and lilac with a wee bit of green peeking out here and there. As always it is a joy watching your progress at the chateau. Best to you from a way too sunny California.
Wow , what a difference a coat of paint makes. And oh, those dog paintings and their frames are spectacular as are all the others. You have been busy this week, all the details around the doors make it so grand.
I love the makeover in the front hall. The chandelier is gorgeous! Hugs to all!
Thank you so much, Dodi! ❤️
It is finally coming together. I blame John (kidding, Gony and I are always blaming him, no matter what😂). It feels amazing ❤
The most beautiful stairway railing❤
Thank you! 💕
I fell in love with it when we visited the chateau. And now it shines….❤❤❤
That chandelier is stunning!
Thank you Claudia. ❤
Exquisite! The portraits are quirky and so cute. The chandelier is gorgeous. The hardest room in the chateau to decorate is done now. You can breathe and feel proud of what you’ve achieved . Grand job. ❤❤
Again, gentlemen you have accomplished perfection, you're energy is boundless. Love it! ❤❤❤❤
Such a transformation ❤ and such beautiful flowers
This entrance is truly magnificent and the paintings only accentuate the beauty of the whole thing.. it's stunning.. the little chandelier shines brightly and is exactly where it should be.. well done boys
Salût Dominique. The hall feels airy and welcoming now, not dark and deteriorating 😂😊😮❤. We truly love the progress and comments like yours are amazing ❤❤
Great job you guys are hard workers with great taste in decorating ……can’t wait to see the furnishings!!!!
It's looking great! And now you're at the fun bits-- furniture and decor. Can't wait to see it all pulled together! Oh, and that vase of flowers is absolutely GORGEOUS! Well done, Patrick!
Thanks so much! 😊
Dear Cecelia. Thank you very much for your truly wonderful comment. And indeed….. putting things together is such joy. Love from Colombe ❤

Looking fabulous! I love the dog paintings!
The entrance hall is so elegant and makes the architectural features stand out. The paintings and the little chandelier are perfect. You’ve worked so hard in such a short amount of time. I’m amazed by how much you’ve done. Can’t wait to see the finished rooms. You must love the way it all looks. Many hugs. xx

Looks incredible, great for first impressions. Your entranceway was lovely to start with but now you’ve given it the facelift it required. Bravo. Look forward to seeing the room furnished next weeek.
Wow! That's all I can say. What a huge amount of work.
The renovations are looking wonderful! Looking forward to seeing the fountain installation 😃
Hi there Jeff. Thank you very much. We are truly happy how we finally finish rooms after all the necessary repairs and electrical work is done. We are thrilled. And we will start with the fountain work soon and that is soooooo invigorating. Hugs from Colombe 😊😊😊
