It’s the fountain! The packing on the pallets is the giveaway. Garden Answer Laura just unpacked a concrete order from Unique Stone. Great video guys! Patrick, your painting and repair patience is inspiring.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I bet you are right. I was hoping for some sort of jacuzzi and gazebo!
oh shoot I was way off !! lol
I was wrong also, drat 😊
❤😊❤
I love all your renovations, I love your patience and care. I am very much of the school of less is more, and that’s what makes your renovations so authentic, not simple by any means but beautifully executed - hence the wonderful outcomes. Take care xx
You are incredibly kind. Thank yo so much. We try to stay authentic to the period but make it liveable for our current needs. Your huge compliment made my day. Hugs ❤❤❤
I believe it is the fountain they talked about before. Give away is, they didn’t put it under cover.
Nice!😊
Patrick, your restoration of the interior shutters and the door is done with a lot of talent and above all patience but the result lives up to your expectations.. congratulations.. wouldn't this delivery be the fountain!!!⛲
😊😊😊. Thank you and you are a psychic ❤❤❤
Hi sweeties. I had a great evening dancing 😊 Everything is coming together for the B&B room. The door and schutters looking great. I also think it's the fountain ⛲️. Have a great weekend. Hugs and kisses also for the furries. 🥰😘😊❤️🐕
What fountain are you talking about? 😂😂😂. Yes! Love the progress. Glad you had a wonderful time dancing. You rock! ❤❤❤
Patrick, those small doors have you looking like a giant. The shutters are beautiful.
I think he kinda is a giant. I think at some point they said the Patrick is about 6'6" and Stewart is 6'4". Of course, I never cracked 5' so my perspective could be warped. 😂
Do you two ever think of when you feel a little caught up to have workshops in your outbuildings of how to renovate a chateau or older home? From paneling, to curtain making, wiring a lamp, wallpaper, making jams, etc. I would go in a heartbeat. 💓
Hi Natalie. We did think about it. Did you listen in? 😉😊😉. We will plan workshops and if you have specific ideas, please send us an email patrick@journeytothechateau.com. Huge hugs and love from Colombe ❤😊
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 LOL! Sorry I played the video again, I was busy commenting with my mother and missed some important news. I will send an email. Much thanks!!
Patrick , you're hard work on the door's and have a done superb restoration on them. I think Stuart you definitely could make those shutters down the track. The plate is absolutely stunning, a wonderful item to treasure... im guessing fountain for that many heavy pallets, and I bet I'm not the only one who jumped when the first was being unloaded with the jack wheels coming off the tray 😂😂
Thank you very much. I am very happy how the shutters and doors turned out. Maybe one day we will recreate all the interior shutters. That would be amazing. And we found a second plate today. 🥂👍🏻🥂. Love from Colombe ❤❤
I love the lovingly restoring where possible. Sometimes not possible. I realise.
We feel the same way. Huge thank you ❤
The fountain for the courtyard comes to my mind ....
😉
The fountain!! What a great surprise on Groundhog Day! Spring is coming!! ❤
Dirty trick, guys. Fortunately, I read someone's comment suggesting the mystery delivery is a fountain. That would be lovely if correct.👍 I LOVE your new Gien plate.❤❤❤ Once again, I would have bid on it too. I love the neo-classical influence. I like anything from the Etruscans through the Roman Greek period. Fabulous stuff. I love collecting accessories with the Greek key pattern too (cache pot, towels, sheets, trims, etc.). It just seems to fit nicely in a man's bedroom. Of course, they're all reproductions like your striking recent Egyptian acquisition. What a find! I'd love to see where and how you display it. I have a eclectic collection aka unfocused. I just buy what I find interesting from around the world. My five-year-old grandniece loves to come to visit. Admittedly, the dogs are a big draw. They seem to like her too. In France, you're surrounded by so much of the French culture though. Everywhere you look, you see French history going back to the Romans. They really seem to know their history in much greater depth and context than most of my fellow Americans. It's kind of embarrassing at times. It's been several decades since I lived in France, so the younger generation might have become more like younger Americans. For France's sake, I hope not. Thanks for preserving a part of that incredible history. ❤ from TX!
Hi Ray. I agree it was mean and it was my idea! 😱😉. It is the fountain we ordered 5 months ago 😮. We too love the neo classical accessories or ancient artifacts. The originals belong in Museums to be seen by the public and we are happy with good reproductions. 😊. We have the Greek key around our missing fireplace in the dining room. ❤❤ The French love their history but I think you are right, many young people concentrate on new media instead of touchable history. Huge hugs and thank you. Smooches to your dogs ❤❤❤
I love how Patrick left some dings in the old door. It wouldn't look good if it were perfect. Great job!
Thank you so much. We are in agreement that we want the age to show, but to make it look elegant again. 😊😂😊. Hugs ❤
I love the painting work Patrick,you needed patience between all the layers of paint to dry .
Isn’t that the worst thing….. the waiting while paint or wood filler dries. Takes 6 days….. 😮😮😮😮. Huge than’ you ❤
Nice work on the shutters. The video doesn't give enough credit to all the sanding and effort to make them look soooo nice.
Hi Paul. You are absolutely right. It was 4-5 layers of wood fill and sanding and the the paint. It’s a labor of love. Thank you so much for pointing this out. Huge thank you from Colombe 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful work on the interior shutters and doors, Patrick! Joining those who think the delivery is the fountain. ❤
Thank you. ❤❤❤. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Maybe in your shopping trips you’ll find more shutters
I found the telephone story very amusing. Indeed, for us French people, we think the same thing: that foreigners always speak too quickly. I believe that for everyone, a language that we do not master or that we master poorly always seems to be spoken too quickly. Mon Dieu que j'aime cette tapisserie avec ce si joyeux coloris, si rafraîchissant et tellement charmant...
Salût. 😊. It is true. I am pretty good at making myself understand and understand much more. But we all feel a bit lost at times in a country where we speak the language not sufficiently. I am fluent in English and German. French is OK. Spanish and Swedish….. oh I used to be better 😂😂😂😂. But I can buy tractors, cars and negotiate at a Brocante. Truly love our lives in France. I am glad you liked the tapiserie. I did too. Hugs from Colombe ❤❤
The colouring of the wood and the wallpaper looks stunning
Thank you so much ❤❤
So good to see you still laughing and you both look great.
Thank you, Denie! ❤️
Thank you. Hope you feel better ❤❤❤
The shutters look fantastic, well done.🥂
Patrick you did a fantastic job on all of those shutters. They look great painted and in place. You mentioned that they get very hot with the sun baking on them so I wonder if the exterior side of the shutters would hold up better with exterior paint. I have no idea, but it’s just a thought. I don’t see why Stuart can’t make shutters for some of the other rooms when he has nothing else to do, ha ha! Ok, so without reading the other comments my immediate thought was a fountain because it came in three large sections and was delivered outside and not brought inside. I’m sure it’s going to be a beautiful addition to the courtyard. Have a wonderful weekend. xx
The fountain! Either that or Patrick has gone completely berserk ordering spring bulbs. Or Stewart finally found a company that could print the toile fabric in the right shade of rose so he ordered 2000 yards.
I totally missed the live chat. I lost track of time today. Hugs to you all.
The plate is stunning! The shutters are beautiful. What a week! 😀
Thank you so much. We found a second plate!!! 😊❤😊. Hugs
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 yahoo! I can’t wait to see the display!
The build up for the delivery had me hooked! Teasers! Now I can't wait to see the reveal! When I see something being painted I feel as though the space is breathing a sigh of relief to be refreshed and renewed. There's something comforting about that. Have a great weekend guys.
The shutters turned out so lovely; the view out of that window is nothing less than spectacular! I had to laugh to myself when you were painting the door Patrick. I wonder how many times you’ve needed concussion protocol from those short doors. I would be a ducker, too at 6’. Crossing my fingers it’s the fountain. 💖
Ohhhhh those short doors. Just banged my head today. 😂😂😂 So glad we have those shutters up and restored. Your fingers crossed worked 😂😊😂❤❤
I loved the music while Patrick was painting the shutters.
Thank you Rob. I wish I could take any credit for editing and music! That is all Stuart. But I love restoring woodwork. Huge thank you 😊💖😊
Great painting job done there on the shutters 👏👏
I think it’s a big fountain for your entrance! ❤️😃
👍🏻💖👍🏻
Good morning Patrick & Stuart, just love those shutters in the bedroom. I feel they add a touch of sophistication to a room. The paintwork is stunning. Have not a cooking clue what was delivered, the two of you are both dark horses. I noticed many refer to "fountain", I will have to wait and see. Enjoy a lovely day, do take care, many blessings. Kind regards.
Thank you so much Elize. We try to restore woodwork without making it look new again. 😂😂😂. Interior shutters are fantastic. Most of ours were burned a long time ago…..😮😢😮. Bless you and….. we will show tomorrow what it is….. Love from Colombe ❤
The fountain has arrived!!!!! I'll have egg on my face if I'm wrong, but methinks it's about time for that delivery since it was mentioned in the Summer?? Patrick, your painting skills are top notch, so much so that I felt the urge to go into my garage and sort out the many cans of paint that are sitting there and now I want to paint everything in sight! This is a good thing! Now, if I had Stuart's music to back me up, that would be the icing on the cake! Sure looking forward to seeing that fountain up and running! lol
Hallo Patrick und Stuart, ich mag euren Humor.Die Fensterläden und Türen sind schön geworden. Ihr braucht keinen Amory aus La Lande.Liebe Grüße Conny ❤
Beautiful work in the Bed and Breakfast room. Surely it's the envisaged fountain for front courtyard OR perhaps something for the chapel???
Great job on shutters, the fountain has arrived
Brats!!! Fountain. Patrick the door and shutters look great, like you said not falling apart but not brand new. Till next time, hugs and stay well.
Love the colours in that room! Good job!
It's the fountain, of course!
The paint job looks wonderful. I too think it’s a fountain you had delivered.
Thank you so much. You might be right…… ❤
Well, it’s not a gravy boat! Good job on the painting of the shutters and the door.
Just love the shutters. You have so much patience!! Dang the cracks on the shutters are deep. Great job on the repairs!! Lots of love from Tennessee!! USA!!
Thank you so much. They had bad damage (just time) and it was great to see them come back to life. ❤❤❤
Continuez à rénover comme vous le faîtes, les châteaux situés en province n'ont pas à avoir le faste et les dorures du château de Versailles. La simplicité est la clé de l'élégance. Merci de nous faire partager votre passion pour les belles choses.
Merci beaucoup. Nous Savons que le grand salon avait des dorures et était plus décorée, tout comme la salle à manger. Mais bien sûr, vous avez raison, les chambres et les pièces annexes étaient d’une élégance simple. J'adore ton commentaire.
Thank you for the video! Have a lovely day!
Very nice Painting and repairing on ur doors Patrick. They will look amazing❤ u are a fantastic painter! Oh my. Do I ❤ that plate and it has a bowl there also!! Stunning 😍 the color and designs are breathtaking 🤩
Thank you Sheila. Guess what….L. We found a second plate today at a Brocante! Huge hugs from Colombe ❤
After reading other comments, I suspect they are correct that it’s a fountain. Nice job on the painting!
It’s your Fountain!!!
Awesome job on the shutters and door. I really love the French gray. As to the cliffhanger, I think it is the fountain also. ❤
French Gray is lovely. Now who said anything about a fountain? 😂😂😂😂. 👍🏻
Patrick, you did wonderful work on the doors/shutters. Well done! I have no idea what was delivered to the chateau, but I am excited to learn what it is in your next video.
Great to see you guys. Always love the renovation of the doors and shutters etc, Patrick you're a genius with the wood filler, always looks beautiful xx I believe the delivery is The Fountain, so excited to see it in situ, can't wait. Thank you for sharing ❤❤ xx
You are so kind. I love restoring wood so it is pretty again without looking new. We can’t wait either but it will be a few weeks….. 😊😂😊❤
Shutters and door look awesome 🎉
Wonderful shutter and door restoration!! I believe it is a fountain
Yay!!! It’s gonna be gorgeous!!! You both are doing such a wonderful job!!! Love you both!!!!
Just catching this now, Patrick! Great work!! 😘
Thanks so much!
I have faith Stewart could make your inside shutters ❤
The Fountain!!! Also good news, if you have not heard already, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow……Early Spring!!!!!! Have a great weekend!
We saw. You’ll have an early spring! 👍🏻🥂👍🏻. Hope you had a great weekend as well. You might be spot on! ❤
Yes, I’ll go with the others…a fountain… loving it from PA, USA.
Easypeasy...the fountain!
Love the shutters, they give so much ambiance to the room. And like many I am thinking Fountain as well? Guys I cant tell you how magical I feel Colombe is... its wonderful 😘😘
Hello my darling friend. The shutters are really lovely. Great feature and from the 1640s. ❤. Now, what fountain are you talking about? 🤣😂🤣. Chances are 99%. ❤. We will see tomorrow. 😊. Hugs my dear and be safe
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 How exciting lol 😘😘
Is it the fountain!? I hope so! I wanted to say that I love the music you use for the videos! I enjoy all of your videos, but I especially liked the last one with the photographs of the earlier chateau family. I found myself very emotional seeing them. ❤ Looking forward to your next project!
Can’t wait to see your fountain construction videos!
Hello guys. ❤️ looking exceptionally handsome these days. So glad you are both feeling better. 🥂💙
Without even knowing anything , i thought i hope it is a huge fountain for the centre of the courtyard . So lets hope as below we are right , exciting
Hello Patrick and Stuart whar a fabulous plate Have a great weekend 🎉 Kind regards Nicholas ❤
I like the paint on woodwork , well done
It’s the fountain! 👍
I too think it's a fountain for the courtyard.
It’s a fountain. Can’t wait to see it!
I think that it's a new fountain for the garden . Another great vlog guys thank you .😊 Patrick your beautiful plate has a side view of a gentleman ,it could be you in another generation .😁 .gorgeous .
Hi Stuart and Patrick, what can I say Patrick you did a great job on the door and interior shutters.Stuart the music was beautiful ❤️, and what is this could it be the delivery of the fountain ⛲, take care and see you both soon 💕🌼🤗
Hi Carole. Thank you so much. I love how the doors and shutters came out. You might be absolutely right….. ❤
I loved the chuckle from Patrick and the mischievous smile from Stuart while asking us to guess what the delivery is 😂 I think it may be a bed? 😊 the guest suite is coming along beautifully, the shutters look so cosy. Until next week, see you 😊❤❤ 👋
Nice job on repairing the shutters and the music was lovely as well. Could it be a fountain? Looking forward to the next vlog. Enjoy the weekend 😍😘
Not reading other comments - I enjoy a happy surprise! 😁 🤔 You found that someone in Norway was auctioning off three trolls, turned to stone. They were disassembled for transport, and now you will have the fun of puzzling them back together. Hopefully when packed, the parts were not mixed up, lest they awaken in anger at becoming Frankenstein’s Trolls. 😉 And where will these trolls live? In the woods, of course, in order to make a walk in the woods more invigorating. They might shift about at night, of course, until they feel at home, which could be a startling experience. 😁
😂😂
The shutters are amazing, as is the door! What a terrific job you did, Patrick- well done.💕
The fountain yeah!
Make sure to like and subscribe !
Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Thank you for the music ❤
fountain for front
Ha!❤ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A fountain! Woohoo!
I think it is a foundation, look forward to finding out. I seem to remember you mentioning one a long time ago. Nice to see you as always.
Oh fellas, bugar bears! I was so excited to see what the delivery was! Looking forward to finding out. Comedy.😅 God bless you and yours. Love, jenwhite 😊
Hello there, guys!!! More excellent projects on the grow!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏰🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
There are window coatings, don’t know the cost of these invaluable furniture/furnishing preservative coverings. I visited a stately home where such coverings had been placed in all the windows…to protect the millions of dollars in artwork and furnishings! Evidently these products are now more easily available and less costly. Just a thought… you both are doing such amazing work there needs to be a way of protecting your hard earned efforts.🌸🕊️
Is the surprise package a fountain for the courtyard? I kinda think so. 😜It will be interesting to see how you assemble all those heavy pieces. Patrick, your wood filling, and sanding skills are remarkable. The shutters and the door look so much better. And with the fresh paint on them, wow, they look wonderful. Are French shutter and door hinges made of brass? Or are they made of steel? I was thinking that they are brass and that you would remove the centuries of paint on them, and polish them? It is great to see all the renovation progress you're making! 🥰
Defo the fountain!!!!!!
I believe is a beautiful fountain cannot wait to see it ! Stephanie just have to one for the English garden at La Lalande
Nice painting job!❤
I'm guessing a fountain
It has to be the fountain for the courtyard.
What a good job you both do ❤Kate
the plate is amazing and I love it next to that lamp! I love the grey color next to the wallpaper! I would be sweating bullets every time a delivery truck tried to back up into your courtyard through those gorgeous new gates. I know how careless some of our delivery people are in Savannah! Can't wait to see the unboxing video of the new delivery!
I guess it's a fountain and I didn't even cheat by looking at the comments first, ok fine, I did look at the comments but....I was thinking whatever it is it sure is big and roundish 🤣🥰..I bet it's beautiful and cannot wait to see it all put together! Great job on the shutters . Magnifique
Fountain ,there seem to be many parts ,so it must be big , ,👍
The fountain!
Cela doit être une fontaine . Hâte de la voir. 😊
I was guessing a fountain, looked heavy. Looks exciting what ever it is.
It has to be the fountain and it is big like you said early on.!!!!
A lot of progress!! So glad you are both feeling good after thay nasty cold/flu 😊
I think it is your fountain!
Fountain!!😊
Fountain!!!!yay
