In one of the brocantes, Terry is in he’s very own Aladdins cave, filled with beautiful old items, but has to work he’s way through the cobwebs to find the antiques.

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.

Don’t you dare paint that piece. It’s beautiful just the way it is. Love the videos. 😊😊
I haven't heard anyone say "croggie" for years! It took me right back! I'm re watching your "offerings",. Thanking you all so much.
What you are calling a hat stand is actually called a Hall Tree. It is meant to make a statement as you walk in the door, thus the beautiful wood carvings and details! Please, please, PLEASE do not paint it! It's absolutely perfect for the space just the way it is, though I give another vote to swap out the feet and make it taller. That chandelier is fabulous! Very cute brass umbrella stand too! I also vote on painting the lantern black...it will look fabulous against the stone of the cottage!
Totally agree re painting, leave it as original!
Don’t paint it, for goodness sake!🙏
Going backwards - thank goodness you found wonderful spots for these pieces.
Don’t paint that sensational hall stand! Please leave it as it is! It’s perfect!
I do like the music you choose to go with different parts of the video. When you are carrying the hall tree there is almost traveling music. It adds a lot to the fun of watching the videos.
Great buys! Please consider not painting the hat stand! It’s glorious as is. It would be a shame to paint it. I also vote for Mom’s outdoor light to be black. So enjoy your banter and love for each other. Love from sunny and very humid Sydney! ❤️
Thank you we really enjoyed the antiques shopping and glad you got a few bibs and bobs and the hat stand, your chateau in going to be wonderfully beautiful!!
I’m blown away by the beautiful things in your 2nd outing
The balcony would look cool as a fireplace screen
So, glad you are saving this beautiful chateau.
I am only use to seeing France via pictures of Paris, your videos helps me see the other side of France. Thank you for taking us with you on the shopping trips.
Such wonderful finds! I agree with Ash. It would be a travesty to cover the beautiful wood of the hat stand with paint. I enjoy your brocante trips out.
Thank you very much 🥰
People keep calling it a "hat stand" but I have always known these more elaborate pieces as a "hall tree."
Ash holding Patrick in his lap was so cute! He looked like a little rocket ship 🚀 about to take off🤣 He even closed his eyes and basked in the sunlight ☀️ He’s so cute!!!
I can't believe it is only episode 35! Seems like it has been so many more! I want to go brocanting in France after watching everyone! I absolutely love the lamp for Tracy!
Thank you very, it is great to have so many wonderful shops, but can be frustrating when you know what you want and can not find it if or do find it and is far to expensive 😞🥰🥰
The hat stand is absolutely stunning! I wish you didn’t have to paint it but I understand you have to make all of the decor cohesive to the chateau.
Did I see a spinning wheel???? You should get that! My wheel burn. When my home burn down. 🔥 .
Beautiful pieces! Amazing the things you can find in those french brocantes. And the prices are very tempting too, if you consider most of the pieces are real antiques. Please keep the hat stand as is, it looks fantastic!
Thank you so much for taking us along on your Brocante shopping trips....love it all! Great purchases!! You are a great couple....really nice guys!!!
The second shop had me laughing so hard- the stuffed beaver sitting up and the man without a shirt picture 😂
Terry and Ash, you are great shoppers of bargain antiques. We can't wait to see all your treasures come to life. We loved watching the discussion, of the 4 of you, on the steps. Light & Love from our family to yours
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
I would keep the hat stand as it is finished. I think it will pop against the painted paneling and just look like you are showcasing the hat stand vs trying to hide missing paneling. I would also suggest though changing out the feet. I would raise it up so the bottom is even with the top of of the baseboard. This will move it up just enough to hide the top of the old door cutout. I very much doubt anyone would even notice a feet swap either
Thank you very much, yes I think I will be keeping it wood 🥰
All the wood needs not be finished alike
Love the coat rack you got to fill the whole in the panelling in the hall. If you build it up on the bottom it will be perfect.. My vote is not to paint it so it will be a statement piece.
Thank you very much 🥰
Bottom rail is for umbrellas. Beautiful coat stand.
Ash & Terry are such a great couple. Ash gets frustrated by Terry’s ability to minimize the amount of time something takes or the distance it takes to just “pop over” somewhere.! But he loves him just the same.😂 I adore the playfulness you have with each other. The treasures you guys picked up are wonderful, especially the chandelier. That was a score!! To bad that brocante didn’t organize and clean up a bit. One could really see what offerings were available. It looked like he had some interesting bits, but one couldn’t get to them. Hugs to all from America 🇺🇸
Thank you very much 🥰 yes it could do with a little tied but I enjoyed looking through it all 😮❤️
I love these videos when you go out to brocantes. As you were walking through one of the stalls in the Rue des Antiquaires, I kept spotting lovely little oil landscape paintings, and lovely chairs that would look fab with new upholstery. The coach lamp should be painted black as it is more traditional and I see that a lot of viewers agree on that point. Ah to be in France going to brocantes! I’m with Terry; I could spend a whole day in there!
Ash and the iron fist👊💰🤣🤣 Don’t forget to shop for the kitchen camo, Spode! 🤣🤣🤣 A period bar car and any and all paintings, if it’s minimal restoration. There so expensive in auction. Brocante’s /Emmaüs are great for kitchen ware/armoires/art/ and chandys 🤣🤣 Terry, I’ll shop with you!
Magnifique porte manteaux ! le lustre est superbe .
I love shops like that. It’s like a treasure hunt. Thanks for sharing. That was fun. Love your channel. Am binge watching from beginning to end. ~Dana
Thank you Ash, it is so nice to hear "I Love You"! Those lamp shades almost look like Lalique! Thanks for sharing...
The Hat Stand is a joy! I hope you change your mind re painting it. Have a good week. x
Love this you did so well
I love coming along on your scouting trip for those gems!! Thank you! 👏👏👏👏👍👍
You did very well with your beautiful hat stand, that just fits the spot you want to cover. I hope you don't gild it. Gilding the lily is a mistake. When a piece is perfect & original changing it with gilding detracts from it rather than adding anything. The chandelier will e better in a bedroom. When you put the glass shades on I think you'll see that it would have been too big for any bathroom. It is a handsome piece. For Mom's outdoor light I vote for black. Anything else for a traditional outdoor lantern like that at a chateau would be going against tradition & just wouldn't look right. You bought very beautiful useful pieces.
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
Gee nothing seams to frighten these boys!!!!
It is so much fun when you two brocante together❤ I'm loving that chandelier Terry, can't wait to see it cleaned up and hanging. Enjoy your week. Hugs
Hello all! Things are coming together. I love the little chats at the end where you reflect on the week behind and the week ahead.
Ash, i just love your impish smile that comes out when it's just the two of you. You are a great example of a couple in love!
Love your adventure in France. You have chosen a great place to live with your family. I get a kick out of your dogs,, makes me miss mine. You're doing a great job! You have helped me get through the winter here in eastern Canada. Take care.
Hi guys, love the hat stand, but please just give it a polish, it doesn't need paint or gilding. Tel.. you are arty so do a trompe l'oeil effect on the bit on the wall above the hat stand, or place the stand on a plinth, so it raises it that couple of inches. Special message for Jonathan for 40yrs time (2062).....It's payback time on the 2 old fellas lol.
It’s wonderful to see the love and sheer joy expressed by Terry and Ash when they go on an adventure together. Can’t help but smile and share their enthusiasm. I know that you have to paint the hatstand in order for it to blend in with the paneling but it it is such a beautiful piece just as it is. Great find though along along with the magnificent chandelier. Looking forward to Wednesday’s vlog 💗
Love the hat stand . You could spend days in that “brocante” !! I’d have to fight you for some of the things you like :)
Terry & Ash the love you have for each other is adorable 🥰 your chandelier is absolutely stunning it’s going to complement any room in the chateau ! Love the hat stand Terry I’m sure you’ll make it look fabulous with gold leaf 👍 Take care 💕😎😷
Please don't paint the hat stand until you've lived with it in place for a while (after the wall it's against is done, too)!! What a fun place you found it--loved the painted glass against the wall--but place need gloves & time to find what treasures are in all of those boxes!
You went to my friends antique shop Say hi to Annette for me matey
Come on Ash don’t roll your eyes you know yourself at Terry is a sweetheart. Yes there is lots of treasures I absolutely love antique furniture . Hello Treacy hope you are all well and having a good time so far in 2022 Happy new year. The donkey is saying hello to all of you and everyone around the world . Little Patrick is so beautiful and Sasha where is little Louis . Little Jonathan at school or doing homework .
Thank you so much 🥰 yes Jonathan was at school and Louis was sat in front of the fire 🥰
6:43 that table looks like it would fit under the staircase next to the chair. The little 3 leg crescent shaped table. A little cleaning up and tightening maybe?
When I saw the eagle stand at 21:00 I realized I saw Billy Petherick and Life of Ryan there in one of Ryan's recent videos. I never thought this American girl would get to know the brocantes in France! LOL!
Ash, “Tell him people!” ;-)
Loved the hallstand
❤️🏰 Thank you for the vlog; chandelier, hat stand, coach light, good ‘bits’ 🛍️
I would not paint the hat stand. The wood is too beautiful. Especially if you go with a green color on the panels. Maybe some gold highlights on the stand. So many beautiful items at the shops you visited. The sunsets were gorgeous on the way home . Thanks for sharing 😍😘
I love the coat and hat stand, and the Light is stunning just make sure it is well sealed if going into a bathroom as the moisture might cause it to short circuit ? I would so love to go rooting around those places with you only I would need a lorry and fat cheque book, so much I was saying oh that yes that as well, lol, I was thinking while on your travels around these places to look for a antique room divider you know to change your clothes behind as be great for the cottage bedroom above xxxx Dede .
This is one that Billy has shown in his vlog, its interesting to see the change in prices. You are all making it fashionable again so the $$$$ are going up
For antiques you need to speak to Billy Pettherick another KZhead chateau renovator. He knows the best! It would be good to see you two connect up, I think you would have a whale of a time. Michael his brother also is pretty knowledgable about where the best brocantes are and what’s good value.
Love the coat rack hope you do not paint it 🤔 Put it on plinth high enough to put shoes under it will also hide the top of the hole. Love the lights 🤗🤗 Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
It was so fun to go with you two window shopping! The Hall piece and light fixture are lovely. Things are coming along so nicely. Take care.
You guys made my day!!! Great place to buy some unique, beautiful antiques. Hall Tree gorgeous, chandelier very special and even with dusty cobwebs!!! One has to buy when you see something wonderful for the space!!! Your giving the antiques a well deserved home! Meant to be! Thank You for sharing the excitement and hunt!!! Mirrors in my hall tree are paisley in design - art nouveau!!! Your family has exquisite taste!!! Toodles until the next adventure!!!!
I love the hat stand. Now to get some fancy hats to hang on it. ❤
Love the chandelier. The brocantes always look so interesting. Hope you all have a good week😊😊
I heard the donkey screaming at the end. Ash, you have the patience of a saint. Ain't love grand! Terry is very lucky.
Domes were also for dried flowers too. Love them.
Hi Tracy, Tony, Terry, Ash & Jonathan, Really lovely to see everyone, including the dogs, & I loved hearing the donkey apprx @30:46 😊Enjoyed going antiquing & the chandelier is beautiful, good finds! As usual listening to the chat at the end is always nice. Thank you for sharing, have a wonderful week! Take really good care of each other. Much love Kathy x 💖
I thought of that as a Bonus! I'll be watching a video & they'll stop roll their eyes n say ugh a plane or car or train, or Somethings making noise! They'll wait then continue. The Whole Time I Don't Hear Anything! These guys are either used to him or thought he just needs to be heard, because they don't even acknowledge him & I think It's Adorable!🐧💦💕
Ash’s look at the beginning had me rolling 🤣😂. Great finds and buys boys. 🥳🥳💞It’s was wonderful see the family.. Thank you for taking along to the brocants 🥰
Thats a trip and a half for two lads with NO hats lol
I wish you would scrap &paint all the handrails & formal gate as it would look more finished!
Thank you very much, we will in time but have more important jobs at the moment, 😊
Ash, what a spoil sport you are. I wanted to spend hours in that place with you two! 😉
Don’t you dare paint the hat stand!!! The wood on it is classically beautiful. It doesn’t need anything!👌. Sarah
You got some beautiful pieces....well done! Can't wait to see where they end up. I agree Tony...the detail work takes the time, it feel like things are going slow but really, it is the polish before the paint. Well done and look forward the the next video!
Terry you have lovely taste. I would reconsider painting hat stand. Paint paneling instead, it's very drab.
Much love from Belgium 🥰🥰❤️CONNIE
I was just thinking about the cobwebs when you said it 😂
Love shopping trips!
Chandelier is much too beautiful for the bathroom. Earns more prominent pace to be admired. Your faces radiant after brocante purchases. Well done
Love the hall tree, so beautiful.
Love you 2 guys but please either get new mics or talk louder as even the tv on loud you4 not very clear. Like see more of you 2 together. Keep up the good work.
I must say, you and your family are a joy. Keep up the great work. All of you have made amazing progress on your new home.
My OCD would be wanting to re-organise that whole warehouse so that it was easier to view the items 😱. Don’t know why they have it like that - you could have all the furniture together, lighting, crockery and then brick a brac, clothing, books and others paperwork and art in another section hahahahaha.
Hi all..only just found you so busy catching up..wow what a fabulous life journey you are all on and such a loving genuine family too..looking forward to seeing your beautiful homes come together..❤️
Your relationship is a thing of beauty
Great purchases! Plus a nice day out! I love Patrick enjoying his adventure too! 😊❤️🎶👋🇨🇦
Thanks for taking us along on your treasure hunt. The chandelier is lovely and unusual. The hat stand is a very clever solution to the missing paneling problem (but I agree with others - I hope you'll reconsider your plan to paint it!) Always nice to sit in on your chats - even better in the sunshine!
I re watched...no commercials. Looked at possibility of being a supporter. Your family is very inspiring.
Ash , I Just Love ❤️ your Expression’s , You Know He’s Going to Buy it 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌❤️
I just love searching for treasure - love what you got. As you panned the camera I saw loads of things to buy. Those shops are like magnets to me, I want everything in them.
Piles and piles of treasures covered in dust and cobwebs. Would love to be there, but thankful that you shared with us. Your purchases were both practical and beautiful.
I swear this store is one I seen Billy Petherick in. I know he was at your party so I’m curious how far from them your chateau is. It’s great that y’all support each other. Hopefully all of the different chateau’s can maybe come together and do a festival or something. Ash you need to check with Phillip with how to renovate a chateau without killing your partner for some of the apple cider you couldn’t get at Christmas. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much 🥰
Thank you for taking us shopping . Seeing all those lovely things and Anne not being able to spend my money .....great .It's nice that you all keep us updated on your progress ,you make us feel part of your journey .thanks .
Hi All...In the latest vlog, I really liked the hat rack and the chandelier that you purchased. Did I hear that you wanted to paint the hat rack? OMG, it's so beautiful with its original finish, I think you'll definitely regret painting over that beautiful original finish. Some antiques are made to be enjoyed in their original state. It may need a bit of polish and the brass hooks, it's rare to find a matched set on a piece like this. I can't wait to see where that great chandelier will be hanging in the chateau, the best to you all, Mark
You can't cuss, it's KZhead :)..Love what you've picked out. Wish we had as big a selection of antiques in the U.S
I liked everything. 🥰
I get a chuckle when I hear Tony speak he is a man with little words! Yet when Tony talks you take notice loved the UFO joke that was pretty funny! I agree with Tony make the outside great and during the hot summer months it would be good to tackle on inside doing both makes sense! I love when the group can chat about and talk most people have forgotten how to do that in life you all are a kind and humble group!
24:06 dining table, chairs and service hutch... Very stately. And did you notice the green tapestry, possible color options for the room where the large mirrored wood rack will be located?
Really like the items you picked up today. Too bad about 95 being 950!!!! Oh well. Another one will come along in time. Just love the way the pets intermingle with you at the end. They love you a lot and it is a beautiful sight to see. Waiting for one more delivery of seeds, then sending them off to you. Best. PS so funny, I was just wondering about the front door. That will be a major sight to see.
Very good shopping. Waiting for next vlog to see work inside.
Anybody else spot Tintin’s rocket in the background of the treasures:)
If the hat stand isn’t perfect can you fit the door back to the outside, a false door, so that you can then paint it all to match? I love the stand as is without paint.
Just a suggestion, because I love you guys...is to pan more slowly, and linger a little longer over interesting pieces. We'd also love to hear more about prices, along the way. The chandelier is lovely!!!
Beautiful hat stand fits really well in that spot!! Can’t wait to see the chandelier! See you on Wednesday!!🙏🤗
Good morning everyone , so glad to get some light relief watching this after Novak saga
Love shopping with you!
