So casually, "Here is the wallpaper I made. Here are the tiles I created. Etc., etc., etc." Truly blessed. Beautiful work. Love every room.
Such talent!
Not afraid to learn and perfect skills
Love your home
Talent, good taste. But having a lot of $ and free time also helps a lot.

Someday i would love to see a full whole house layout tour..
This was a lovely, bittersweet walk down memory lane. My family and I were incredibly fortunate to be guests in your home about a year ago, and it was wonderful. ❤ My sweet dad unexpectedly passed away on February 4th. Your home will forever hold dear and lasting memories for all of us… it was our last trip together.

What beautiful memories for him, and for you all.
My sincerest condolences on the loss of your dad.
My mom died February 21st. I know how you feel. My condolences. Sending you a big big hug

In a world where so many tear down old structures to build modern monoliths, what you have done with your French Chateau is perfection! Your family has given so much respect, love, & history to the home, and then given more again by using your talents to make it your own and breathe life back into it in a new century...truly so beautiful and you can really feel all that fullness of life the house holds, even through the muted lenses of a video recording. Astonishing and so well done!
Even worse, in France we don’t only build modern/URSS ugly structure who old very quickly, we destroy/sell all our old buildings, castle and museums For example a few months ago, the French government illegally sold all the antique furniture from the Thiverval-Grignon castle in a «private» auction at ridiculously low prices. Why? To transform the castle into a shelter for migrants. 🙂
Wonderful tour. You have accomplished so much in 4 years. I can't wait to see the renovated bedroom suite.
Thanks so much!
@@HowToRenovateAChateau before and after Floor plan of the chateau please 😁😁😁
@@aloysius8005 Honestly, I might want to build one of my own!
I always appreciate when wealthy people invest in good architecture. You did an amazing job! Thank you for preserving our history.
I can't describe how much I love the fact that you are decorating your Chateau with a nod to it's past history while truly making it your own, and not turning it into a historic time capsule as so many other Chateau owners are attempting to do. All Chateaus evolved over the centuries, families adding to them, and redecorating to suit the changing times, so of course it is fitting that your family should do this also. It is a beautiful home & I can't wait to watch the transformation of the Master Suite.
most people who own castles tend to fully modernise it that is why you see so many people keeping the traditional style bc its smth you dont see very often and its smth beautifull
I wish more people would turn it back in time as a time capsule. Most castles are messed up with half modern crap. The girl here did a stylish way but still I prefer the back to old 'time capsule' . So in other words: you are wrong about what most modern castle owners do and I disagree with your opinion about it.
Anna is an inspiration. She’s beautiful, intelligent, kind and funny.
And has not killed Philippe
@@zach16 he is also an inspiration, you may not see everything he does, but between the both of them with the helpful hand from Benoir, they have a stunning place!
@@LisaVesander.Creative Well, that bit of HUMOR went right over your head. Part of the Blog title is "and not kill your partner", haha😄
@@zach16 I did lose that one, LOL!
I want to know who lived there before And what were there careers
Thank You, Anna. You both have done a huge amount of work in four years. My hat's off to you both. The new subscribers are not aware of all the outside lawn care, trees and drive-in gate that you both have done as well. Have a great week.
Thank you so much!
@@HowToRenovateAChateau It was really an incredible work. And your taste is exquisite !
Lovely. But ...and this is just me, the one thought that kept going thru my mind was, "I'm so glad I don't have to clean the place."
Chapeau ! Heureusement qu’il y a encore des gens comme ça qui investissent pour restaurer ces châteaux avant qu'il ne soit trop tard ...
Oui des français ou autres...
Looks beautiful. You've definitely accomplished a design that's respectful enough of history, but still contemporary.
I love the mix of the modern with the traditional, you are making a home, it's not a museum and you have certainly respected the original building. I think it's so wonderful that so many of these incredible chateaus are being restored and lived in.
This is what elegance looks like .
This is incredible! I’m madly in love with how this turned out! This couple has so much talent and you can really tell that this renovation was done with much love and respect for the property and its history.
Any chateau saved from oblivion is a great thing. Beautiful job!
I absolutely love Anna’s decision to furnish with more contemporary furniture. The juxtaposition is so fresh and sophisticated. Many of the other chateau owners have chosen to furnish theirs with the heavy, fussy French furniture. Those pieces look better if they’re paired with the contemporary pieces. Gorgeous!
But maybe the owners of other similar properties don't see their respective choices as 'heavy' or 'fussy'.
@@robyndismon394 Obviously they are happy with their choices! Only commenting. Not out to change the world of home furnishings.
So humble about what you have achieved. I have to tell you the transformation is stunning. You both turned the chateau into a beauty. So homely so beautiful...
Great work. Beautiful place.
Many thanks!
Of all the restorations I have seen recently I think this is my favorite. Mainly because the love and respect for the property and all the lives it’s had, and all the lives it has nourished I’ve been taken into serious consideration with great respect For me that is very important it doesn’t have to be exact. But the closest it is the more grand, it’s almost like a time capsule that takes you back and you can imagine what it must’ve been like to live in those times I think of how many centuries that house stood and how many things it seen how many things the walls have heard and how many little feet have touched the floors It’s so obvious that you’ve put so much love into the restoration. I do believe previous generations, and families would’ve been extremely grateful for the tender care you’ve given and breathing new life into this home.
Glad you like it!
The cool, peaceful atmosphere in all these rooms, with their elegant style, subtle tones and perfect detailing...can never portray the blood sweat and tears you folk have put into them. Even I, who binge-watched all the videos when I first found you, only saw a scant half of the toils and tribulations. But you have achieved so much and thanks to Anna's smile, Philipp's humour, the sweet girls and cheeky pup it was fun too. Congratulations!
Of all the other chateaux renovations on KZhead your decorating taste is at the top!
Absolutely lovely. I often find it tragic to watch what has been done in the interior of the vairous Chateaux in France. But in your case, it is the perfect blend of historical, personal and modern comfort. It's so easy to project yourself living in it and at the same time it keeps all the grandeur of the original.
I’ll always be blown away with the kitchen!! Anna’s sense of style is UNMATCHED ❤
Your style and colorways are so fresh and restful, really gives a sense of both the modern and historic, just beautiful. Thanks for the tour!
Anna, you and Phillip have done an AMAZING JOB restoring this lovely chateau. I have been with your journey for 3 years. It’s been truly a pleasure watching your family and Ziggy. When you see a quality podcast, and yours is, it’s just inspirational. ❣️Following your dreams is heartfelt by your audience. 🥰
Thanks a lot! Our pleasure!
The chateau is lovely and the dog is great.
Love it❤❤❤
Long linen curtains would look really stunning in the evening salon and would make the whole room even more cozy I think. I really love that room and you can really see the amount of thought you have put into this room
So fun to see what you've done over the past four years! It's nothing short of amazing. That kitchen is to die for. I hope you do a full tour one day, I want to see all the rooms and how they connect.
So wonderful how much artwork she personally made, and how much work they put into restoring it true to the century but still made it their own.
Absolutely gobsmacked with how magnificent your renovations are and with all the hours of man power put into it. It’s astonishing! The results are amazing, too!
You two have done such a beautiful job renovating this chateau with such exquisite taste. I can hardly wait to see what you two will do next. Best chateau program on KZhead!
Thank you so much!
What a transformation. The color combinations and print wallpapers compliment the home.
So far this is one of my favorite château restoration project the results is so mesmerizing so beautifully clean .
This is magical. The personal connection with the beautiful mural, linocut wallpapers, tiles makes it feel so connected, but still beautifully fits the French chateau theme as well! So so beautiful
Glad you like it!
Just think…200 years from now people are going to be learning the history of your home and your name, as the creative artist that made the tiles and the beautiful wallpaper and the (dare I say) the visionary of what this chateau could be transformed into. Phillip implements the changes that you have imagined your home to look like. And makes us laugh along the way.
You did masterful work! I love you're taking the modern route while staying true to the spirit of the chateau. Authentic renovation doesn't always mean to put the same old (more or less now seen as a bit ugly) colours and designs. You're allowed to feel comfortable in your own home. And you're building something to last what is the most admirable thing to do. Like planting trees, that are not only for you, but for the generations to come. Thank you. And I need a floor plan, I can't fathom how all those rooms are supposed to fit into these few windows 😅 (I slowly am wrapping my mind around it, but still, sometimes when you open a door it feels like you're in a movie house where the outside and inside shots are filmed at different locations)
I love watching renovation of historical homes🏰🏠.
My house was built in 1880. It's really neat having an old house. So much history, so much character, so many stories begging to be told. Your chateau is beautiful.
Congratulations, Philippe and Anna! Absolutely exquisite! The exceptional intricacies of the interior design serve as a definitive case study for aspiring students of chateau architecture.
Many thanks!
@@HowToRenovateAChateau I want to know who lived there before And what were there careers 😊
As someone who watched your vlogs from the beginning, it’s amazing the transformation you have made. Love the tiles and wallpapers you have created. Hope you continue to share your renovations as I love the humor between Philipp and Benoit ❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you like them!
" I love the humor between Philipp and Benoit " Philip and Benoit should create their own humor channel; they're better than most professional comedians.
Well done! Kudos to all of you who 'rescued' this beautiful building. Thanks for sharing.
I agree, well done. I hope that you can leave some written history for someone years from now to discover.
This "Merry Christmas" family part gives me goosebump, such a big happy family in beautiful place all together. I can feel that vantage vibe of being there. Amazing! Thank you!
The French Castle home has come along nicely. A lot of owner art designs in display of tiles, flooring and painting. The mouldings too, a complete renovation. The entrance gate will be work of art too. Just a beautiful home.
What an exquisite sense of taste you have Anna. Your home is a place of healing balance and beauty for all of us. And all of the artisans of the past who contributed to this chateau are dancing with joy to see it so beautifully restored!
Notre belle France, notre histoire restaurée avec beaucoup d'amour et de passion. Très bien fait et fidèle à son origine.
I always love seeing your videos pop up on my phone! keep up the great work!
Hi Philip and Anna. You both have accomplished in creating the most charming and classically elegant chataeu. Great work! So calming and beautiful! Ziggy blends well with the surrounds! Bravo👏👏👏 Well done!
This is probably the most beautiful home ever. Not only because of the looks and history, but because of all the enormous love and sweat that went into it. Wonderful taste and family. Stay blessed. Greetings from Germany.
You are doing a fantastic job restoring that beautiful home.
justice for the pink room :D
Spectacular renovation by a very talented hard working couple. Bravo!!
I know renovations are so difficult but your hard work has really paid off! Absolutely stunning home. The kitchen, hallway and the blue room guest room are my favourites.
Stunning !! The green bedroom is heavenly. Thank you so much for showing your incredibly beautiful property ❤ God bless you and your hard work!!! ( From Sri Lanka.)
Gosh your work is beautiful 😍 So in love!! Great work guys! Love this channel! Much love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
@@HowToRenovateAChateau Oh thank you for the reply guys 🥰
What a beautiful home. You both have worked so hard to lovingly restore this magnificent chateau!
Your nana’s painting is just so gorgeous!!! How wonderful that you share her creativity and talent.
What you’ve achieved in 4 years, is astounding! Looking forward to seeing the master bedroom taking shape. 👏👏👏👏👏
So beautiful.Can't wait to see the next renovations on the bedroom.😊
Philipp und Anna,ich liebe was ihr beide tut. Euere Passion ist ansteckend ihr tut was ihr liebt und liebt was ihr tut. Macht weiter so,es macht immer wieder Spaß euch und euren Projekten zuzusehen. Tausend Dank für das was ihr leistet ❤
Stunning of course, but the best part is when Anna uses her superb artistry to create custom murals & wallpapers etc Simply beautiful Also - absolutely love the colour of the dining room! Don’t be afraid of the warm spectrum!
Lindo, lindo e lindo!!! Parabéns por todo o trabalho que tiveram nesta reforma 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So beautiful! I would love it if you marketed your own line of paints and wallpapers. Your design expertise, incredible color sense and beautiful wallpapers are like no others! You and Philipp (and Benoit of course) have done a fantastic job renovating in just 4 years! ❤
Danke Anna, für die Tour durch euer wundervolles Chateau. Es sieht toll aus...es ist kaum vorstellbar, wie viel Arbeit dahinter steckt...
I can't get over that it's been yrs. I subscribed before you had 20, I've loved every bit of the ride. You two have done a miraculous job of bringing your home back to life. The hard work and creative is beyond words.
I have always LOVED that blue guest room! It brings so much calmness and serenity.
Wow! Quite exquisite and beautifully restored! Respectful of the era and history. Look so forward to seeing the upgrade and pulling it into the 21st century. No need to feel embarrassed Anna, that room will certainly be the superior suite. Kudos P & A.
Definitely one of the most talented Chateau Renovating Couple on KZhead. 😊
I love ALL the rooms and all the renovations you've done so far!
I absolutely love how much care Anna and Philip put into restoring the chateau as much as possible. Above and beyond the esthetic, older details were often made to last centuries, which is something you don't find today. The quality and craftsmanship was so much higher then. In fact, even in my humble, little apartment, which hasn't been updated since 1978, my little kitchen has solid maple cabinets-- today? Unless you spent tens of thousands for custom cabinets in maple, you cannot find them now. I think they did a wonderful job and I think they made many wise choices.
Such a fun tour to show all the work you and Philip have done. Beautiful!
The chateau has come such a long way. It must be very satisfying to look back on all the beautiful work y’all have done. Everything is beautiful!! Your kitchen is my favorite room ❤
Wonderful tour! So much talent between the 2 of you! Gorgeous!
The work you have done is incredible! Love your channel!
You guys did a great job. Really turned out wonderful.
Your style is so elegant without frilly unnecessary stuff! Your inspiration for the kitchen is superb!
It's literally a breathtaking transformation! I'm in awe! So much work and skill and talent you put into in!
You guys have worked so, so hard and it's paid off beautifully! It looks absolutely wonderful! ❤
4 years .. only 4 years Anna & Philipp & what you have accomplished is quite remarkable! 👏 I’ve been watching from the very start .. your styling & personal hand made touches are perfection 🥰 Your Chateau is stunning (p.s. I love green too 😏)
Have you ever thought of putting together a design book that includes all the paints with descriptions of each design element? Your sense of style is absolutely exquisite. 👌 All of the rooms are beautiful. You mastered the art of green in the "Green Room" Not an easy task, truly spectacular. 🎉
Just simply beautiful. You guys are so talented!
Love everything you’ve done! You are both so hardworking, talented and such lovely people. I’ve watched all your videos now and am really excited to watch the new renovation you have planned.
Thank you so much!!! You can both be v e r y proud of the astonishing results so far!! And you have come a long and very elegant, tasteful way over the past four years, truly honoring the cultural heritage and character of the chateau. Yet gently modernizing it with stunning results!!!
Glad you see it like this!
Yay!!! Love seeing the transformation! ❤️❤️
Absolutely love all you have done thus far...your creativity embues your renovations with so much love. 👏💓🌟
Congratulations to you both, you have worked so hard over the past four years. Your passion and commitment to how you have renovated your Chateau and garden are a credit to you both and of course tradesmen and helpers along the way. I remember watching the video where you showed how you had bought, reconstructed and sold properties to finally buy your Chateau. I know this life too though I never ended up with a Chateau. Every success in the future to you both.Gail,Czech Republic ❤️
You both accomplished so much, and back then, also running your guesthouse. Very impressive. Love your channel!
Glad you enjoy it!
You’ve done, and are still doing - absolutely amazing work!
This is so fabulous! You have done a fantastic job with your chateau, I love it 🥰
Thank you for sharing the château with us! ❤
My husband and I were so worried about you both at first. We thought you had taken on too much with such a big renovation but we needn't have worried. You have created a beautiful home,well done it's amazing.
I love every inch of the chateau. Fabulous artistry
It looks amazing! I love all of the renovations you have made.
Truly remarkable! So beautiful. In complete awe of their artistic ability and desire to master the creation of making, painting, and firing their own tiles, carpentry works (etc., etc.), and ever so delicately finding the balance between how much of the original style to keep and how to incorporate it with the new. I’m inspired. Thank you! Bravo! 🥂🌹🌹🌹🏆🌹🌹🌹🥂
The passion and artistry you both share shine through in the renovation. Stunning!
I've been watching the videos for some time now and knew how much thought you put into every step of the renovation but seeing it all in one video...wow. Everything is so well thought. I'm from Normandy and again, thank you so much for putting so much of you into renovating this beautiful place from our beautiful region and making it shine again. This château could not have found a better family to take care of it. Merci beaucoup !
Spot on with that last bit. They found perfect owners to give this historic home new life. 😊
Thank you for this wonderful tour. I was so hoping you would do this, as I myself have been watching for ages all of your renovations and nice to see it all come together, so lovely. I just loved when you did that green room, it is so beautiful. Can’t wait until you do the new master suite. Your home is so beautiful and so nicely decorated.
You've both done a great job,it's beautiful
I love every single room, even the rooms of doom, because I can see by what you've finished already that they are going to be amazing. You deserve a round of applause for all of the work you've done to make it such a stunning chateau.
