The Forgotten Rooms on the Third Floor | Château Renovation | Ep 90
Bonjour à tous,
Its back to work at the chateau and the renovations continue on the third floor, on one side of the corridor it is fitted with six small storage rooms, each one in a sorry state, so the family get to work in patching up the paster work, sanding, painting and fitting each one with its very own light. On each cupboard has the original room letters and the original wall colour, so the family recreate the colour for the new walls.

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.

It’s half past midnight on jan 1st 2023. My first text of the year apart from my family and my son who was born at 10 minutes past midnight in 1997, is to all of you at chateaux de lalacelle wishing you a brilliant 2023, you deserve it so much
Thank you so much and happy new year 🙏🥰
Now that I've watched about every chateau renovation on utube.,,,mostly by British folks., I've decided the thing I like most on a of them, is that they all are happy to be where they are and doing what they are doing. Apparently, property in England is expensive so to be able to but a chateau and have property and some privacy is really appreciated! Whatever it is,,it makes me happy to be in my little rural town in Pennsylvania, USA,, with some property and privacy, and able to watch you all do all that work to transform these beautiful properties with your personal touches! Each different, but lovely! 😀 Thanks, love watching you all! Happy healthy 2023!
Terry mentioned the color blue for the kitchen. Than go for it Terry. I do have a blue kitchen for years now and I don't regret it at all. The color I used was pigeon blue.
Gentlemen, it must feel extremely satisfying that you have gotten this far. I’m sure that over the past two years it must have felt like you would never be to this point. Well done.🇨🇦
Those cordless light fixtures with motion sensor are fabulous!
I can't believe how fast time flies by...here we are already almost into a new year and you have come so far on your restoration of the beautiful cottage and chateau! Best wishes to all of you for a successful 2023!
Thanks Susanne! Lots more to come!
Great job on the cupboards and defeating the dreaded draughts! How about a French grey kitchen with dark metal hardware and white tiles. I think that would look fabulous. Happy New Year from South Australia! 🎉💕
Ash says he's happy to be keeping the drafts out, but we know what he's REALLY happy about is keeping the spiders out! 🫣🕷😂 Happy Christmas/New Year's week to you all! 🎅🎄🤶🥳🎉🥂🎆
😂😂👍
You had me at the Donald duck sweatshirt...you crazy boyz, but hardworking perfectionists, those storage closets are awesome...this kitchen will be amazing, do you get ideas in your sleep Terry...I know I do...!
Loving the music , like being back at “the club”❤
Your third-floor apartment is so beautiful and cozy at the same time. I can't imagine any way that you could have done better in your design and plan. Considering the massive time and effort that you have already put into this project, completing the kitchen seems like it will be a picnic in comparison. 😊 Happy New Year.
Hope you all have had a relaxing couple of days over Christmas. I can't believe you are hard at work again already!
Thanks John! We did!
Hi, You will I’m sure think I’m nuts but I would paint the kitchen a white color with light brown undertones. I would also put in one or two skylights with shades on them so you can let light in and not feel cramped as it is small. I would also put down lights from the ceiling and up lights from the top of the cabinets. Anything you do I’m sure will be nice but I love cooking and I think light in the kitchen is very important. Have fun!
I can't say I like the color in the closets but I have no doubt sealing those holes will make a huge difference. Good job.
I forgot its Wednesday, hard at work again cupboards are looking good now. Have a happy new year to you all enjoy, see you in 2023 love Jones family ❤️🏴🍾🥂🎉😘
Agree with Ash that a country kitchen goes better with all the beams and wall angles. Spot lights might be more flexible and easier to clean than a chandelier. Looking forward to your next projects. Happy 2023! 😊
I think every little bit of improvements completed is very rewarding, especially when you do things to keep the cold and drafts outside. Whatever you decide to do in the kitchen will be lovely, I’m sure. The beams alone make it a charming room. xx
"Farm Housey" Legend
You had me dancing for a while there. The cupboards look so good with plasterboard and paint and those lights are Dope. Ah, now the kitchen. Can't wait. Happy New Year to you all. 🍁🍁🍁
Crowning glory to the year, getting in electrics, hot water and sewage tanks. Well done folks. Been fabulous watching the restoration to chateau and grounds. Looking forward to seeing more in 2023.
Excellent idea to insulate, it’s the only way to keep heating bills down. As for the kitchen, you can never go wrong with Toile fabric in blue and pale yellow walls. Very French and country to boot. ❤ I’ve done mine in black and white Toile curtains with B & W Gingham trim and red gross grain ribbon. Very cheerful. xxxalex in Florida
Love that first music track, “Cover.” Very classic Trance. Also, you should consider using the cupboards as a life size Advent calendar next year. 😀
Love hoodies, which were invented in the 1930s in the US for workers in cold New York warehouses for laborers working in freezing temperatures in upstate New York.
Modern FarmHouse is the decorating term here. You guys have done a fabulous job!!!
You guys are maniacs when it comes to renovations. I really thought you would take off the week between Christmas and New Year, but no … hard at work on the third floor. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks Rita :)
The novelty soon wears off Christmas ......!!!
Soft peach will catch light
Pale yellow or mint green for the kitchen.
What a stunning gold picture frame above one of the storage cupboards.. it features a photo in black and white! All over … always adding your magical touch🎉 Is the floor on the hallway wood or brick? I’ve tried magnifying but ?? Yes, the kitchen walls need to be very light…even white will be great! You can add color with furnishings and kitchen gadgets. You won’t regret it. You can always paint one wall a complementary color …maybe at the far end of the room…! You’ll have it done before you know it! Please give yourselves a break! Wishing you and your awesome, kind, loving families a New Year filled with Joy, Peace, Hope, Health, and Love. Blessings,🙏💛🌟✨🕊🎄❄️
I wouldn’t settle on a colour until your see how the beams turn out.
Happy you've got those draft's under control , great job .. please where do I buy those lights please x Australia 🇦🇺
Hope you all had a terrific Christmas Day! 🎅
It was lovely thanks Amy! Hope you did too!
I’m patiently awaiting the exterior pressure washing episode
very satisfying job getting the cupboards done. I am really looking forward to seeing what you do with the kitchen. Tracy and Tony have set the bar high! happy new year to all of you
Thanks Noreen. Happy new year to you too!
Vintage burnt orange for your farmhouse kitchen.
Tracey is a force to be reckoned with. Great job on every room. Even the cupboards.😊
Nice color!! Very elegant...
Love the beams in the kitchen! It’s going to be beautiful.
Those appear to be very small storage rooms but it is amazing how much can be stored in a space like that. Very smart to finish them off to seal out the cold wind leakage. Will also keep things cooler in the summer.
Can’t wait to see the Kitchenette!!
Sage green works well with wood. Or a light cream shaker style unit with a nice light marble effect laminate. Velux roof window looked very small. The beams will look lovely and a real feature. Lighting could be modern industrial style steel lines with spots on to show off the beams.
The fondness between you two is so heartwarming! The progress on your chateau has been amazing- waiting to see what you do with your kitchen!
Thank you!
Do the lights go off when you close the cupboard doors, and do you have to switch them on 🤔
Brilliant Vlog ❤❤️❤️
@@josephinewills8647 no they're motion sensors.
Small is great 😂😂😂 Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
My only advice is to have whatever color you choose work well with the wood or surface color of your cabinets. Since you are concerned about the lack of natural light and it is a kitchen I would use a light valued color in a satin finish as it is easier to clean and better in a high moisture environment like a kitchen or bath.
Love all the beautiful aspects you brought out..looks absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait to see the kitchen completed.
Nothing worse than cold drafts. Still trying to find the source of the draft round my feet!! 🥶 Does your kitchen have no natural light? What wil you do regards venting cooking smells? Looking forward to seeing it develop ☺️ take care all. Happy new year. Jan xx👍🥰
Will these cubbies be for different types of storage? Seasonal decorations, clothing, blankets and linens, and sports equipment? I noticed the doors are lettered, that’s a great way to make the inventory of a space labeled. I really like that. Good job on the finishing and closing the drafty and windy spaces.
That lovely cupboard by your front door would make a great coat closet for your off season jackets, if you ran a rod across it. It would free up space on the wall where all the coats are hanging. Just an idea?
I guess one doesn't use rollers when painting in EU... Love those light wands. Beautiful transformation.
Love the progress you’ve made! Love those motion lights as well! Never seen anything like it. Can you share the source for them? ❤
The cupboards look great and your own personal space is nearly finished, well done 💕🇦🇺
I haven't had an actual cookstove in years. I use a couple of induction cookers on a baker's rack, with an armoire double door convection/airfry oven below, that is big enough to cook a 14-pound turkey in.
Happy New Year! It must be so nice to be in actual rooms now instead of living in the caravan. Can't wait to see the kitchen finished. Looking forward to what you do in the upcoming year. Hugs 💙💚💙
Everything looks wonderful
Very pale blue for the walls and ceiling - the color of the sky. For the lighting you might want to do small spots that are hidden - if light sources are not visible the space feels bigger.
Wow awesome video👍👍👍
As you shared the cupboards I was wondering if you found anything inside them when you moved in? I love the lights inside the cupboards.
Terry, I could see a T shirt/hoodie with EST. ????(date of the chateau) Chateau de lalacelle as merchandise to sell. That was inspired from the hoodie your wearing in this vlog.
You asked about colour for the kitchen. Buttercream would be light and cheerful enough and compatible with any style. ❤️🇨🇦
Great video Happy New Year to you all 💕🌼🤗
Watching the kitchen getting done will definitely be my favorite 😂 but then again I’ve thought that on each step lol. ❤ everything is just beautiful
knowing how hard working you all are the kitchen won't take long and that's a whole floor done amazing how much you e achieved
You may want to invest in a video camera that can see in inferred. That way you can the temperature changes in the walls, doors and windows.
Benjamin Moore Simply White Just a thought for kitchen
You will make the kitchen beautiful. Farmhouse kitchen sound lovely for that space. Spot lights on top of the beams shining upward to light the details of the structure. Happy New Year 🇨🇦
A thought for the kitchen how about a pale blue with gold or copper accents. I think spots on top of the beams shining both up to the roof structure and down onto the work surfaces. Putting the washing machine etc in one of the cupboards would save space in the kitchen
Guys the third floor is looking amazing. You both are truly talented with DIY. I love watching both because you are a positive Gay couple working together to make a beautiful house. Love watching your family as well. You all seem to get along brilliantly.
This house/houses are full of love. 🌹
Happy New Year 🎉
Thank you for sharing this with us
Thanks Angela!
Love the lights in the cupboards so cool!!
Thank you
I just can't believe you don't wet sand dry wall mud.
TRACY COULD USE SOME LIGHT IN THERE!
Another job of the list. Happy New Year to you all 💝🎉
Can't wait to see the kitchen getting done....Happy New Year to you all best wishes xx
It’s so lovely to see the progress you have made on the third floor. I can’t wait to see the kitchen progress.
Everything is looking great. Happy and healthy New Year to everyone
So excited for your new kitchen and plugging the drafts!!!!
The kitchen will be amazing with those beautiful beams. 🎉❤
Thanks Kate! We hope so!
Wonderful job on the cupboards. Your place is so cozy now. The completed kitchen will be the crowning glory! Happy New Year!! (Can we see the finished cottage kitchen sometime? )
Thank you :) yes we’re working on it!
Good grief, you’re back at work immediately after Xmas. Don’t you take any rest days?!!! Super job on the cupboards, easy and rewarding job and now you will keep the heat in the apartment. I know it’s a bit of a cliche but a French provincial style kitchen would work so well. As for colour French Linen (pale grey) would work well with the exposed beams and if you’re planning to have a small table in the kitchen as well, a natural wood one would work well again tying in with the beams. Best wishes to the entire family and Happy New Year from Neil in Australia 🇦🇺
Happy Holidays all! Cannot believe you all are back working in the chateau??? No rest for The hard working family. ❤
Hope you had a relaxing Christmas weekend. Maybe a pale yellow color in the kitchen? Yellow is a warm and happy color. If you have blue and white plates, it will look very nice. but whatever color color you chose, it definitely should be a light colored that will look nice with the hallway color. Looking forward to your progress in the new year. Wishing you a blessed and happy new year 🎉🎊🎆😍😘
I'm so glad you got rid of the drafts. It's not so much the cold here but the arctic blasts of wind that seem to find ways inside....and I live in Louisiana! I've been warmer when it snowed! We have had extreme weather shifts...a few weeks of 78°F to a few weeks of freezing windy weather. 😳! Your living area upstairs is looking great! I can't wait to see what you do with your kitchen. Your family has done a tons of work in such a short time.
Thank you! It’s a million times better since we’ve done it :)
Love the lights you put in the closets so practical and yet cool. It’s surprising the things you realize need to be done only after you have moved in. You probably never noticed the drafts before.
I love those lights too. Wonder if they are available in Canada?
No we didn’t ziggy. Think it’s because we’ve got rid of all of the other drafts these then became noticeable as soon as the cold set in :)
@@spiritofanu3112 we got them from a store called action over here :)
@@ashleywaters7198 Thank you! Can you post the brand and I will look here. I love that they all become a mini torch in dark cupboards and are rechargeable. Super idea!!
Happy New Year ! Amazing amount of work put in and it shows ! Looks great !
Classy closets with their own signature tunes!
Happy New Year to all of you at the chateau.
Great job. Enjoyed.
I'm not sure why Mum isn't using a roller. That tiny brush just looks like purgatory to me. I do love the choice to use the original door interior colour.
Happy New Year!
Looking so lovely
I thought you might need a moisture barrier or membrane before you used the sheet rock since you said that the roof tiles were showing.
There is a barrier on the back of the plasterboard. It’s a couple of inches thick :)
Great work and love the way the lights work😊However I can’t say I like the poo coloured cupboards as they are so dark and dull.
So great now you've got all the cupboards sealed and no more freezing drafts. I was wondering why the yukky brown colour haha but you're keeping it original.
I loved the motion sensor lights you used; canyou tell me the name of these lights? Great job.
Hope your Christmas was wonderful and that 2023 will be filled with love and joy. Can’t wait to see the kitchen! It’s a great feeling to know that you are so close to having a completed space for yourselves. You certainly deserve it.
Joyeux Noel, Terry, Ash and family. The third floor is finally on its way to completion. Everything you all have accomplished in this past year is remarkable, take a little down time and start fresh next year. Well done. Much love from N.Y.
I would probably paint the kitchen white against the dark wooden beams. You can always add colour with art work and fabric and maybe some metal to make it a bit industrial. Its going to be spectacular, no matter what.
Thanks for the video, may you all have a blessed New Year!
I realize that it would probably be near impossible but I wish your future 3rd floor kitchen had a bigger window on that outside wall. The view would be spectacular! Great job on those cupboards. Having so much snug storage is going to be so useful.
