7th Day of Christmas, Creating a Garland fit for a Château Grand Salon.
Bonjour à tous,
Its the 7th day If Christmas here at the château and work starts In the grand salon, creating not one but seven beautiful garlands each over 6 meters long, Terry never does anything simple, plus ash and Tracy have to fit some lights to each of the canopies which turns out to be harder than expected.
Stay tuned till the end for our 12 days of Christmas song 😂🥰

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.

Watching all of these vids at least twice so I don't miss anything. I can just feel Chateaux LaLacelle saying 'thank you all, it feels so good to be back!" All of you in this family, so integral to this Project, each in their own way. We thank you too! ❤️🇨🇦 Mariya
Thank you Mariya :) we all love our own little jobs and work so well together. We have all worked together before, granted not a on a project anywhere near this size :)
The locals will take great pleasure in driving past at night knowing a beautiful historic building is being saved. Well done all of you. Xx
I bet the villagers are happy the chateau has life in it once again after all these years...
Well we all have to admit that Terry IS always right 😃 Nana Tracy received such a lovely gift from American and there was even one for young Jonathan. People from all over the world love your family and love watching your Christmas preparations. Another great video, thanks for sharing . 💗
I think that’s what people are missing in this day and age. The small moments at the end of the day a family meal a little relaxation and laughter. It really made me smile to hear you guys make that comment.
I don’t believe the extent of the swags in the salon. Absolutely incredible. You don’t even notice the unfinished walls!
Thank you, Tracy and Ash for putting up the twinkling lights on the outside 'pontoons' (I think that's the right word!). It makes such a difference and almost makes the outside steps look very white - like they've been painted. All of you family members deserve such respect and love! The gifter on today's video was right! You are reminding the world what a family is and what it means to love and support each other! Have a blessed Christmas!
God bless Vicki! That is an heirloom piece! The garlands are a triumph and the lights around the perimeter look fabulous too.💫🌟⭐💖
Beautiful and thoughtful gift from USA. We love the channel and you guys. You’re humble, creative, down to earth and work so lovely together as a family and a team. Oh and you have a wicked sense of humour - Tracy referencing imbeciles 😂😂. Lights are stunning, you can never have too many fairy lights. Have a good week 🥰
Thanks Clare :)
Love the song at the end. Can’t wait for all of them, all 12
What a lovely gift from Vicky. It has been my experience that quilters, on the whole, are very lovely people🥰👍🏻. Terry is a decorator after my own heart. Love the matchy matchy elegance . 😁 Perfection takes a few tries 😬
Aww Tracy you so deserve it, you are so lovely, tough and caring and have worked so very hard. It is such a fabulous gift. Everything is coming together now, I think you are all ready for a rest, a few days of not doing much to build your energy up for you all to get going after Christmas, aww I love watching you all thank you for bringing us into your world. Xxxx
Thank you so much for these videos - in a world where everyone seems angry, violence, abusive, and horrible to others, yours is a story of positive blessing - goodness, recovery, restoration, hard work and love and generous sharing for each other. Thank you for tilting the balance.
Amazing transformations happening. I can just imagine how thrilled your neighbors and this Village is to have new Neighbors who are bringing this AMAZING Chateaux back to a glorious LIFE.
The garlands & trees & lights are lovely!! I imagine the chateau is smiling, too, being so loved again!
Mom you are my hero! The boys of the Chateau do not realize how lucky yo have you. You carry as much weight as any of them and all the time with your beautiful smile.
Aside from your beautiful château being injected with new life, it's the love between all of you that strikes me. Working together towards a common goal: a life together in a magnificent château! What a wonderful experience for all of you - particularly Jonathon. Best wishes from Canada!
Lalacelle look resplendent and magnificent bathed in the golden light showing her majestic proportions.
The gift was well deserved for our warrior Tracy. You do back breaking work without a fuss. I love how the room is coming together and I actually really like how the walls aren't straight, paint is flaking as I think it tells a story. I'd be tempted to keep one room in the chateau exactly how you found it as that's also part of its history. Terry maybe a perfectionist but he has a eye for things looking there best and that will be great in the future of the business x
Thanks Sarah :) terry might just do that :)
Yes I agree. I’ve seen some old houses where they have redecorated leaving the fading plaster. It looks fantastic against antique furniture upholstered in bright jewel tones including velvet and similar curtains together with chandeliers, mirrors, rugs and candelabra.
The salon is beginning to look beautiful. I was noticing how the curves on the top of the mirror reflect the arched windows and also the curvy marble fireplace surround, creating a nice harmony. The quilt is a lovely gift, so thoughtful. Your family inspires so many!
Love the music you were playing while you were putting the decorations on the Garland and Tree 😊 I don't know Vicky from the United States but she's like all of us you have made a big impact on us your channel is very lovely. Tracy is so sweet that's why she deserves it like all of you. You can tell she is a kind mother wife grandmother and mother-in-law a very loving and caring person I cry every time she cries lol The Chateau looks very Christmassy! Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖 OH MY GOSH I WROTE THAT LAST PART BEFORE THE VERY END IT IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!
The grand salon is looking beautiful and the added lights outside are wonderful too. It's all coming together for who I consider to be the hardest working people in the Chateau world. Thanks for letting us peak inside of your world.
The Chateaux has come to life . Thanks to you wonderful people . You are truly remarkable ,each and everyone of you. I can’t wait to see you all eating Christmas dinner in your beautifully decorated room. Merry Christmas to you all .
I really like the outdoor lighting. It’s simplicity highlights beauty of the chateau. The decorations in the grand salon show the fantastic potential of the room.
That was such a satisfying video. So happy to see Tracy get a lovely gift, she deserves it, what a hard worker she is. Love this series.
Even lights around the perimeter. You certainly know how to make something special.
I sometimes wonder if the old chateau can feel the love happening to her, so exciting to envision what she can become thanks to you.
A very enjoyable episode. Well done with drone shots, stills and especially the music when decorating. Boy, what a job on all that greenery. The imagination of creativity is a wonder. My hat off to the editor. Nerry Christmas to you all.
The decorating is looking so lovely 🥰 the gift was very deserved!! I’m really enjoying all your videos! That intro was spectacular! The forgotten girl is no longer forgotten 💗🎄🥳
Gosh, who wouldn’t want to spend Christmas in such a beautifully decorated room?! I can just smell the greenery and feel the anticipation. That sweet gift brought me to tears too…so thoughtful! ❤️
Mom, you are such a hard worker and a sweet lady! We enjoy your sweet gentle spirit. I'm amazed at how you are able to persevere each day! There's no way I could accomplish what you do!!! You, Dad and Jonathan are the reason I tune in! I love your cottage. Your furniture goes so well in it.
Terry, I love watching you & your mother working together. You have such a beautiful relationship.
What a splendid gift that lady sent you. It will go so perfectly in the cottage. I am loving the decorations, so effective. And those lights at night, wow. One day the old lady will looks as glorious in the bright light of day as she does at nighttime now wearing her garlands of lights.
Lovely. There opening scenes are FANTASTIC! The drone work, the quality, and the music 😘 Happy holidays.
I love watching such hardworking, talented people work their magic on this old chateau and cottage. Thank you for sharing with us.
Tracy and Terry you have turned the Grand Salon into a Christmas wonderland. It's absolutely beautiful and you should be very proud of it. I love everything you do.
I love that Terry holds the camera while his mum does the back breaking work. Lol
Goodness! I don't know why, but I'm so annoyed by him doing this time and time again. I keep telling myself to mind my own business, but I admit to being a bit relieved that I'm not the only one to notice this.😅
Wow, the beginning of this video gave me chills! The people that live around the Chateau must be just thrilled with how you've decorated it for Christmas!
Wow, What Amazing Talented Family, Just Stunning 👌👍👏👏👏🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄❤️❤️🥂🥂
Adding Christmas decorations to the cottage and the chateau really does change the feel of everything. The cottage looks more and more like a home and the pines as trees or garlands show how grand the grand salon truly is. As per usual Terry's camera work is on point. You are really learning how to create feelings, vibes, emotions with camera clips matched with perfect music. So touching to see the gift opened up on the spur of the moment. You are touching lives with your content. Getting to know your family is a gift in itself. Once again thank you for sharing.
Superb opening and closing - wow! In fact the whole vlog was fun and funny and warm and interesting and great music and editing. I watch a number of chatau vlogs and your Christmas decorations are THE best. And your 12 days of Christmas song is just super.
The lights, the garlands the trees all look stunning.. you guys work so hard.. love all the effort & attention to detail. The gift from the lady in the US was so thoughtful ❤️
There are simply no half measures with this family even in decorating for Christmas it becomes a work of art!!! it looks fabulous
Thank you Susan :)
I'm not going to comment on who I think works the hardest, but Mom Tracy, you do it all!
Tracy is amazing!
The château looks amazing lite for Christmas. The lights were perfectly strung on the tree.
Amazingly beautiful. You can NEVER have too many fairy light!!!! Watching Tracey go up and down the ladder putting lights on that beautiful tree made me thoroughly ashamed of myself - I have a 90cm tree that I'm having trouble with putting the light on. Really no comparison!!! Will get on and do it now after being inspired. Thank you !!!
I’ll bet the neighbours and regular commuters passing the Chateau are loving seeing life and light return to this lovely building.
That’s the way to string lights in a tree from the top to the bottom!!!
Yes terry and tracy have it down to a tee!
The intro with the exterior lights is superb. The grand Salon is fit for a Queen. Those garlands just take my breath away. So happy for you all, you are just the nicest people. Love you vlogs.
Love how the old walls of the chateau just oozes more charm to your Christmas decorations. Terry and Tracy you have done a beautiful job in this room. X
I love how you are doing the garland attaching it to the wire
loved the opening with the outside Christmas tree! and the other white lights! magical
Lots of Christmas decorations at Chateau, I love it all. You do so much to prepare for Christmas celebrations wow :) May God bless You all there.
You deserved that beautiful gift Tracey, you work so hard along with everyone else. You are so lucky to have all that lovely foliage on your doorstep. It looked so Christmassy when you were hanging everything up. Great effort and so worth it! Merry Christmas to you all from South Australia.
I am thinking Tracy is the hardest working Woman in the Chateau business.
Lovely present for a lovely Mam! The salon will look lovely after dark with the fire & lights twinkling
It does look stunning. Wait until you see it finished. The gift was amazing!
The house looks incredible guys! I hope you all have an incredible Christmas this year and I know that this grand old beauty hasn’t felt this loved for many a long year. Great work this year!
Dear Family, couldn't look but addicted as I am rushed home to watch. Such a special gift from USA well deserved for the special family that you are. Bringing joy and smiles to all viewers. What is created in your heads you realize. Lights are super. Thanx once again
I can see it now.. Terry having a line of beautiful Christmas Garland,decorations and his own pattern of material for refurbishing chairs and such.and I will be first in line.🤗🎄✨🌟🙏🏼
Looking so beautiful already Terry really is talented and a perfectionist like how you appreciate that and follow his instructions with lots of teasing and humour. X
Best part of the day 👏🏻🎄
Absolutely love the Christmas decorations in the salon and the drone shots of the chateau all lit up was breathtaking. So happy you have these beautiful decorations for Christmas 🎄 🎅🎁😍😘
Thank you Rosemarie :)
The lady smiles. Design your own fabric using your doggies, and special things from the chateaux like those little roses.
We need to ‘ up their views’, someone talk to Stephanie and Philip to give them a plug on her channel
Thanks Mary ;)
We could all leave a link.
The chateau salon looks AMAZING ! You are all SUPERSTARS !!! 💕
The lights look lovely and should be very welcoming all winter! Hello to everyone!
Hi Debra and thank you :)
Sunday night treat 🎄🎄🎄🎄
Love the take on the 12 days of Christmas! Everything is coming along so well.
Ash you make me chuckle in every vlog. I hope all of you take a well deserved rest over the holiday, so deserved.
Spectacular! It's all just so magical and beautiful. Indeed symmetry is vital in all aspects. Terry is blessed to have such accommodating elves to assist him to create the Christmas he has been dreaming about and planning all year. Next year you all will be put to work assembling over a hundred wreaths of various sizes, over 400 meters of garland, 80+ swags, 30 certer pieces, and at least 50 greenery arrangements to fill all of the vaees he has been secretly purchasing and hoarding....all starting in September. All work must be completed by the start of a three week decorating marathon beginning the second week of November. Good luck with that. Now just be sure to take the time to wrap the light strings around tubes (wrapping paper or 2in diameter PVC pipe); or make triangle tubes from cardboard boxes. That way you're not spending half of December next year fighting tangled lights. For long strings of lights I used power cord reels as the spools they come on are flimsy and don't have a hand crank to wind them back on. The handmade table runner gift and the gift for Jonathan was super sweet. What a generous woman. Cheers!
Great music, Terry! And the decorations are wonderful!! Ash, I was so worried you would fall while showing us the beautiful bits. Schwew!! 😮
I thin your chateau is going to be one of my favorites. It’s such a pretty chateau and with all your hard work and Terry’s vision, she is beginning to sparkle. Have brilliant Xmas. Hugs xx
Thanks Loz :) we love our beautiful old lady :) we will make her magnificent again!
Beautiful decorating, Now it’s the GRAND salon!
It’s starting to look grand :)
Hola from Honduras! Watching your stories feels like a warm hug! Love the way you made beautiful garlands to dress up and bring magic to your Christmas castle!
The outro music is just perfection.
The room is looking like a picture on a christmas card..just beautiful..
Such a fun vlog...just love how it's all coming together and how happy everyone is looking forward to Christmas.
The room is looking gorgeous, I really like how you are decorating it, and I like the shabby chic look of the walls, no need to decorate ha ha xxx
Haha. For now Susanne 😂😂 Thank you
Looking forward to seeing you all later!🎄🤶
Such a beautiful, hardworking, down to earth, loving family. Love your videos 🎄
Thank you :)
The Salon looks amazing so does the lights outside, that was a beautiful gift from Vicky to mam the work that's gone into it is beautiful xx
Thanks Paula. Yes it was amazing :)
Amazing garlands and lights! Wonderful drone shots. Terry has the eye of an artist and the best crew ever. Then there is the beautiful gift from Vicki in Wisconsin....perfection. That and the sentiments in the card and I was tearing up. I can't imagine a worthier recipient than Tracy. You do it all. You are greatly admired. Wishing you all comfort and joy.
Thanks Bernadette :) wishing you a wonderful festive period too :)
I wish you all a great christmas and loads of new followers!!
I’m In ❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄👍🎄🥂🥂🥂
This will be the Christmas you will remember the most and the one you’ll talk about in your story telling of life at the Chateau…🎄❤️
Gorgeous vlog, I love the singing at the end, and look forward to seeing it each night 🙏🏻
Thank you 😂😂 think we would kill iTunes if we released it on there 😂😂
So much happiness. ❤
Thanks Desire :)
The quilted gift from the USA is beautiful, well deserved 🤗🎄
It made me emotional to see that beautiful gift. People are truly wonderful. I enjoy your Chanel very much merry Christmas 🎄.
The grand salon is looking fantastic! I can't wait to see the final product!
It will look amazing Jeff. Thank you :)
A working fireplace..... Oh joy, oh bliss... WOW you're going to deck the grand lady up. Beautiful.... Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Zander :)
You all have done an incredible job of decorating…everything looks loverly , just spectacular. I know this old Scottman seems to keep raving on but lm so impressed. Hoping you all have some wonderful holidays with the dogs and other farm fuzzies. 👏🎄🙏💕. Dana Martin, Long Island, N.Y.
stunning decorations with some greenery and lights!! It really gives an idea how the room will look when it is all restored to its former glory.
Yes it will look even better come Christmas Day :) stay tuned :) thanks Marianne :)
I love, love, love this family
Love the garlands, something enchanting about that room..
The chateau looks amazing with her Christmas lights. The grand salon already looks fabulous with a clean up. It must smell beautiful with the trees and garlands 🎄🤶🏻🎅🏻🦌🍒🎁
I had to laugh when Tracy said how beautiful Terry's gift-wrapping is. Every Christmas my mother would insist on having her picture taken with the WRAPPED presents given to her from my brother. She often posed with the actual present afterwards but she always wanted a photograph of the gorgeously wrapped present. Perhaps Tracy this can be your new tradition once Terry gets his gift wrapping room setup! For the record my mother never posed with any presents I wrapped! I guess I didn't get the gift wrapping gene.
Starting to take shape. So happy to watch the evolution.
I can't believe it's been a year... but what a difference from this video to now! Amazing work!
Terry has such a talent for all this decorating - can't wait to see what he does with the chateau.
Quelle différence maintenant que le château est également éclairé ! What a difference! Bien fait!
