Aumury's work surface is sublimely gorgeous. It makes such a big difference in the kitchen!
It looks like its always been there .
I felt sad that Marie's back hurt before and she's grateful it didn't hurt after this meal.
@@aleta5873 That table as a cooking work surface was always too low for sustained work, standing. Great solution
Beautiful, custom made work. 🪬👌
He is an artist!
The kitchen worktop was such a good idea, and Amaury did an amazing job as always.
Even the grain on the dowels matched the counter. Craft at its best.
I think Marie deserves a chef’s jacket for her presentation time! Her dishes look so professional and beautiful!
I totally agree with this!
She has one on order.
The meat dish looked well done and delicious.
I would let Marie decide if she prefers a heavy jacket to cook in. I doubt that she would. Let her find her own style, Marie is doing a fabulous job.
What happened to the monogrammed apron?
The colors inside of the chapel are gorgeous!!
The colors are so brilliant and the chapel looks stunning!
Amaury is a true artisan! Such beautiful craftsmanship for a work surface. I’d love to see a piece of furniture crafted by his hands.
I love to see his hands!😊❤ I bet they are a work of art.
He is a perfectionist and a professional at his trade - really!
In one of the very first videos, Stephanie visits her aunt &uncle in the UK. They bought a place that was protected under British Heritage and Amaury completely restaured it: it was sublime!!!
What a blessing to see the chapel work! So beautiful! Breath taking is right!
I normally don't comment but Amaury - that multi-level counter with the black iron trim is just spectacular! Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could now build you a bespoke book shelf that will fit under the window and house your cookbooks... just say'n
Perhaps there's a surprise coming in that closed off grand salon😮??? Hope So❤!!!
And a seat for 🐕
Perfect idea! Bookshelf window seat!
Yes! ...and a nice bespoke Spode-pattern blue & white cushion on top for the Bookshelf/Window seat ...for humans as well as Lancelot!
Maybe he can build a spice shelf on the wall above the worktop.
Thé addition of metal to the worktop was genius! Bravo Amaury! ✨🌞✨
Chapel is looking more like chapel and less like a sketchy building. Bravo!
Amaury you are a true testament to the meaning of your name "work power, relentless, and brave." The worktop is stunning. You are so very talented. I have enjoyed seeing all the projects you have completed at the chateau.
The countertop and the chapel - both amazing! Lovely new dress from Vivienne. Love all you beautiful people!
Amaury - what more can we say. His work is flawless but also has such an incredible creative eye. That top looks like it was always there. Amazed again.
Seeing the ancient chapel being restored brings tears to my eyes....I'm so in love with this glorious, spiritual space. I am a painter myself, so you can imagine what seeing this is doing to me.
⛪🎨🙏💖
The chapel is breathtakingly beautiful! And of course the kitchen work surface is both functional and gorgeous! Well done all!
Wow. The vaults are astounding!
I didn't imagine that they'd look this good & not even finished ❤!!!
The dress from Vivienne looks like it was custom made just for you Stephanie! Gorgeous! The Chapel looks amazing!
The new counter is absolutely beautiful and the chapel, every time I see it it’s just more amazing on what they are able to accomplish in the restoration. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Agreed. I'm godsmacked by it's sheer beauty.
I can't imagine painting every single little star and tiny design on all of the walls with perfection.
Amaury has hands of gold, he can do anything, really anything. Those beautiful finishes he does just amazing.
I"m not sure which I love more - the new kitchen work surface or the changes in the chapel. They are each life changing so going to go with both. Delighted for Marie. That work surface will save her back from agony. The kitchen is now looking more professional, as it should. The chapel ceiling is extraordinary. When the chapel is completed it is going to be a true jewel box of a building worthy of celebrating. Oh, and the orange dress! Understand why Vivian could not let it go to a charity shop. Love Roxy Music too.
The 'Roxy Music dress' is stunning on Stephanie. And that worktop might be Amaury's masterpiece of all the things he's done at Lalande so far. As for the chapel, it's looking glorious.
The dress looks beautiful on you Stephanie! Fits perfectly.
The chapel is amazing so beautiful
Maria needs a chef’s coat when describing her fabulous meals to the guests! We love your Vlogs❤️
Definitely and to tie up the hair neatly.
Molly looks sad. Not even a tail wag. The chapel looks amazing. All those books.... Stunning. That heart hanger is stunning. ❤
I think she's is fine. She has Lancelot to hang with and I'm sure Molly and Amaury hang out with her as well. They are all on the same level and I can see her eyeing Amaury in his workshop.
I've been wondering if she's been depressed since Phoebe died. But she's an old girl too as far as I know.
She sticks by Amaury wherever he goes. She's such a sweet dog.
Perhaps Molly needs a new doggie friend closer to her size than Lancelot. She may still miss her canine friend who died.
The new stove top is a master of carpentry🇨🇦
I feel so blessed that I was able to adopt a star in memory of my mom, Marci. The chapel is looking beautiful! Keri💜
Yes for my pianist-Mom as well who always cheered me up with her happy ditties as well as beautiful classical pieces & from both folk music & the "American Songbook" of the great crooners & swooners ...miss her so much!! I was so proud to get her a commemorative star under the protective eye & Patron Saint of Music ...Saint Cecelia!!! ✨⭐✨✝🎼🎵🎶
It is so hard to work on a low surface, Marie’s poor back. That is why Stephanie’s Aunt and Uncle always sit while doing prep work. Great job Amaury ! A nice long working area is like gold in the kitchen.
Such a memorable weekend, thanks again to all at Chateau La Lande for your warm and welcoming hospitality. We had such a wonderful time...
The new kitchen work surface looks wonderful and comfortable. Nothing worse than an achy back. Amaury did a great job.
The chapel looks incredible! Love the dinner guest in the In n Out burger t-shirt!
Quite a contrast to the usual chateau attire 😂
I’m glad someone else noticed that. Nuf sed…
Amauri! My goodness! He just doesn’t do a merely simple job simple! He puts all the bells and whistles in it! Just beautiful job! Amazingly beautiful! For also a great must need! ❤
The chapel is absolutely stunning. The woodwork around the stained glass looks like it was all 1 piece. The team working on the interior are truly gifted artisans.
I live in Southern California, never thought I'd see an In & Out Burger T-shirt at the La Lande dinner table. That is SoCal formal wear.
I was rather disappointed in that attire. Why would anyone wear a sloppy, logoed, t shirt to such a splendid dinner. Looks like the wife got dressed for dinner, why not him? These are the traditions I miss. Anyway, they should mention a smart, casual dress code for dinner and no t-shirts, flip flops allowed.
Think he may have been a son of one of the guests.
The chapel is spectacular! The colors harmonious and magnificent. Marie has just taken the reins and is blooming into a fantastic artisan, both chef and florist.
I'm astounded at how quickly they're moving through the chapel restoration, and it looks so beautiful! Amaury's work in the kitchen was exquisite, as always. And the "Roxy Music" dress definitely suits you!
The In-N-Out T-shirt worn by one of the guests cracked me up. If you know, you know 🤣
The work on the chapel makes me lost for words. Isn’t it heartwarming to know there are still creative and amazing people capable of doing this work. The chateau gets better and better everyday 🤗
Beautiful work.
The Chapel is looking spectacular just stunning. Thanks to all of the supporters of this restoration, you are amazing.
Wow for everything, orange is definitely your colour Stephanie. The chapel and Amaury’s new work surface are amazing ❤
Amaury's work is amazing, I love the metal trim! Brilliant.
The chapel is "Wow" And Amaurys worktop is perfection.
Aumury is worth his weight in gold, times a billion. Y’all need to treat that Man like a King❤
Wow. Stephanie the dress from Vivienne was made for you. Simply stunning. The terrine with the bird on top is beautiful and I can see why Phillip loves it. Amaury has changed Marie's work space and her health. It looks amazing. ❤🐦
Amaury went above and beyond. Looks like it was always there.
Amaury! 😊Fantastic work. Just exactly what anyone could possibly hope for! Bravo!
Aumury, you’re unrivalled. That worktop is sublime. Nati, take care of your man, he’s one of a kind.
Such amazing changes at LaLande in several years. Amaury’s talent & Phillip’s amazing eye for detail….he a gem. Marie has many gift’s as well. Looks beautiful.
I could tell that you were already having or developing a cold, Stephanie! I really hope you’re feeling a bit better by now. - The worktop is incredible! Amaury really is a wood genius. And the new terrine is very lovely, Philipp.
What a delicious dinner from Marie. Amaury did a fantastic job, no wonder Marie founds it georgous. It is beautiful and so much usefull. XXX Yves
The way both Philip and Stephanie said a MAYzing! Because it IS amazing. Now that it's there everyone must realise it should have been the very first renovation done, right? Cooking for a crowd -- a daily thing -- and bending over a low table? Oh lordy lordy. Congratulations Amaury and AMEN!
I’ve always thought “how on earth do people prepare meals on that table, I’d be in agony” and now I see that it was causing people to have back pain. Love the new work surface though, Amaury did an amazing job. ❤
I have also thought the same. They should remove the table and put a big island in the middle as a works surface and storage. The spode cupboard could go in the dining room. The kitchen would be much more functional for the chefs. They could put bar stools on the one side for people to have a quick snack in the kitchen.
The Chapel is going to be beautiful. You and Phillip also looked beautiful.
Yes a Nice Looking Couple
Great to have a good bench and at a back saving height as well. ❤ the Chapel looks amazing.
Is "bench" a common French or English word for bar or counter top? I've seen others comment this as well, and as an American I've only ever known "bench" used for a long wooden seat option, usually outdoors in parks, but also sometimes with farmhouse style tables. It's always fun to learn how differently words are used across the world.
As a Californian I visited all the missions in my state. I was just as amazed by the mission’s art work as I am amazed by your chapel’s art work.
I have been overly chatty lately, and I realize now that is because the two of you, Anmuary and Natti, Mummy and Percy , Chantelle and your adorable uncle ( I can't think of his name 😢) my husband and I call him Anmuary's suave father. You all make my soul happy. And I can't see something wonderful and not comment about it. I feel people are so prone to complain! My life philosophy is to say/ acknowledge the good thing about people and life. I genuinely turn on your vlogs if I am having a lonely day. Hearing laughter and knowing all the love and kindness, silliness and joy, as well as very hard work genuinely helps me through my day. With a huge amount a love, Audri
...I also feel much appreciation for this group of very loving, kind, capable, and lovely people ...especially the very winsome and smart and beautiful Stephanie & her 'cavalier' & wonderful & dashing Phillip. In fact, I think of Stephanie & Phillip ...and Nattie & Amaury as the very dashing Four Musketeers!!! 👸🤴👰♀💂♂
That worktop is so cool - leave it to Amaury to make something so beautiful and usable. The chapel vaults - wow, you’ll need to post before and after photos once it.s done
the Chapel is immensely gorgeous. ❤❤❤ the dress is so beautiful on Stephanie.
The chapel restoration is so unbelievable…bravo to all!!!
Amaury you have done it again. The bench looks awesome. The Chapel is looking amazing, the rose window is beautiful. The Chapel is definitely looking a lot brighter. X Anna
Love the new counter top - very clever of Amaury! The orange dress is gorgeous! All of the books look so interesting and the chapel is magnificent! Marie your dinner looked great, especially the dessert- beautiful ❣️🌷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The worktop is a wonderful addition to the kitchen. Amaury is such an amazing craftsman. The restoration work in the chapel is stunning. I can hardly wait to see it all finished.
The Rothchild design soup tourine by the world famous HEREND ceramic factory of Hungary, is also one of my family's heirlooms. My grandmother (I am 78 yrs. young) was a lifelong collector of that design, and I was fortunate to get the (@12) dinner and dessert plate to my home in Toronto Canada. The Victoria design was given to Queen Victoria on her 60th birthday.
I truly feel like not a big enough deal was made of Amory’s work top! 🎉🎉🎉 It is absolute perfection! It looks like it should have always been there. The craftsmanship is second to none! I know Marie is going to give it a proper workout. Well done Amory…as usual, you knocked it out of the park!
Oh my heart ❤ The Chapel ❤ Just give me something to sleep on, a huge thick blanket, books and a torch.....and I could happily live there xxx
Phillip got a great bargain with all of those books! And I love how sweet you two are to each other! The worktop is a work of art, and OH SO needed -- I think it's going to be a real game-changer for meal prep.
The Chapel looks amazing!!!
The guy in the background around the 33 second mark is dressed epically for the airport 🕺
The chapel and countertop look amazing. Improvement in every corner.
Wow! Amaury’s worktop is made to look as if it’s always been there. The addition of metal completely altered how it looks, so it fits in so perfectly. He is incredibly talented. The Chapel painting is quite magnificent and I just can’t believe how astonishingly beautiful the chapel will look when finished. It really is the most beautiful building. ❤
Amaury's work is on par with the chapel restorers. Both the chapel and the worktop are stunning. Amaury work is always a 10+.
The Chapel is just breathtaking. Oh, to have a private place of worship to share with family and friends.❤⛪️✝️
The chapel will be breathtaking when finished. Amaury’s work is impeccable, that work table gorgeous. Loved Stephanie’s new dress, she looked beautiful 🤩🙌😍Marie is doing an outstanding job, her food looks amazing and her flowers are awesome🤩🙌😍
The chapel looks magnificent, I must buy a star! I think I would love to read that haul of books! The kitchen work surface is a triumph, as a chef I would love it. Amaury is a legend.
The worktop in kitchen looks amazing. The chapel is beautiful
Amaury’s worktop is Amazing!!! He is truly talented!
The chapel looks amazing. Doing things right makes all the difference in the world.

The Chapel looks just stunning the colours are so fantastic to look at , Poodies Star and all the adopted Stars are shining so bright now 🌟 . Philip brought some neat books and love the dress and Jean jacket that's cool . Mr Lancelot even got a new Toy . ❤🐾
Amaury, the wooden worktop looks first class! Philip, the "new" Herend Rothschild Bird china with lid is beautiful! Stephanie, Vivienne's dress is perfect on you!
Love the new work top that Amaury made for the kitchen, he is a master of his craft. Vivienne’s dress looks great on you Stephanie! 🙏❤️
The chapel is so beautiful! The difference is stunning.
En effet et quelle bonne idée d offrir de possibles mariages
Yes! A perfect spot for some upcoming marriages!!! 💒⛲😇🥰💗💞💖 @@Wxcvbnmlk
Amaury did a beautiful job!!! He is a real artist. ❤
The chapel restorers are true artisans.
I love Rick Stein! I was very fortunate to meet him on one of his tours and had a fantastic experience. His Moroccan meatballs are still amazing. 💕
Incredibly beautifully done, that countertop, Amaury is a true gem. And so is Marie, I’m so happy for her!! The chapel, it’s so, SO beautiful… what a blessing that it is yours and you have found a way to have it restored. 💞 Gorgeous dress on you, I hope Marie likes the jacket, it will look so nice on her! Thank you once again! 💞🫶💞
Philip is A1! He’s such a great man. Y’all relationship is beautiful.
Ohhhhhh the chapel is stunning. Augury’s work surface proves he is a master craftsman. Making it a work of art that enhances the rest of the kitchen. All those delicious books!
The chapel looks amazing!!
The chapel looks like a miracle has occurred! Your restoration team is incredible. What artisans they are!!
Such extraordinarily exceptional artistry in the chapel. The bench in the kitchen is amazing!
Amoury's worktop is fabulous! Progress in the chapel is beautiful. Loving Vivienne's Brian Ferry dress and Philip's haul of books! xx
Lovely vlog as always. It also took me back in time when I saw the author of the new book for Phillip! I remember years ago listening to Margaret Visser interviewed often on our CBC morning radio here in Canada. She has a vast knowledge of rituals, customs to do with dining and other things as well as how & where they originated. I also enjoyed listening to her lovely South African accent.
The chapel is breathtaking now, so imagine when it is finished! Amaury's work is always top notch. And, THE dress is perfect!❤
Just to say in amongst the beautiful countertop and chapel, Stephanie’s wee orange cardigan is beautiful. She suits that colour orange 🧡
The chapel 💒 is looking so beautiful. Very proud to have a tiny star ⭐️ in my parents name ❤
Marie you are blossoming before our eyes ... love your use of flowers in your meals a girl after my own heart and Steph you look stunning in that dress ❤
WOW WOW 😮 First Amaury did up and beyond what I thought he was going to do, I mean it’s perfection you’d never know it wasn’t always there. Then you go into the chapel and HOLY COWS! What a transformation, it looks just wonderful. Then you ended it with such a beautiful dress and it fits you like a glove, that color looks stunning on you. Bravo Vivian! 👏 by the way my husband and I were married in 92 and I completely agree with you about it not being ancient although it is 32 years if I actually think about it, oh my.
Augury’s work is amazing, the work counter is perfect and matches the stove beautifully .
☹️sorry for the miss-spelling of your name
His name is tricky to spell. I always have to really think about to remember it. It's Amaury.😊
You sure are surrounded by “masters”. Aumury’s work is perfection👍🏼 & the chapel restores are truly “masters of their craft”, the chapel restoration is stunning👏👏🙌🏻. Molly is such a precious dog, so gentle & angelic. I don’t understand why Stephanie doesn’t pet her!! Or the others?
