My Dad always said, “ I cut it twice and it was still too short!”
🤣 This is a really good one.
😅🤣
No thanksgiving is not only American, us Canadians have thanksgiving in October, love how your new project is going, it's going to be beautiful!
Surprised how many French and some British celebrate the American Thanksgiving. They don’t celebrate the Canadian Thanksgiving in October though.
probably cause its less commonly known for the canadian one @@darlenechandler2403
As an American, I think Canadians October celebration is a much nicer time of year to have it; then you can properly celebrate Thanksgiving before moving on to any Christmas decorations, but you _also_ get to have plenty of Christmas decoration up for a nice loonngggg amount of time! Lol.
@@darlenechandler2403As to them all celebrating the US Thanksgiving and not the Canadian one, might that be because Thanksgiving was an original US holiday that the Canadians decided was a good tradition and then took it on for their own country? Personally, I think it's a great holiday to have in any country, at some point during the year.
The Canadian Thanksgiving is celebrated at the end of harvest hence it is in early October. 🇨🇦
Ziggy is just soo adorable!
Hey! I was just gonna say that!! LOL
And he knows .... everything 😂
More "Anna makes something elegant, beautiful and remarkably easy" videos, please! Hope you can take some snapshots, if not video, the Thanksgiving dinner in your lovely autumnal room. As always, Philip's hijinks are F.u.n.n.y.
Ya know, if you’d ever like to celebrate Thanksgiving NOT so close to Christmas, you could do a Canadian Thanksgiving - we celebrate usually the second Monday in October. 😉🇨🇦🍁
Yes I like how ours is earlier and not backing into the Christmas season.
I’m American but I would love to see our thanksgiving move to the Canadian date. It currently gets lost between Halloween and Christmas! As it is, my friends and I sometimes do a ‘Friendsgiving’ on Canadian Thanksgiving so it’s not so close to all the other holiday activities and we can really enjoy it.
@@elizabethheatley22That’s what I think too, American one is too close to the Christmas festivities. Canadian Thanksgiving is done in October, not so close to Christmas. We don’t do the American one or acknowledge it. I see also a lot of hotels in the UK are doing Thanksgiving for American visitors but not Canadian visitors in October also.
@@darlenechandler2403 Well let’s face it the American tourist market is much greater than ours. I am Scottish and have lived in Toronto most of my life and I can tell you my family isn’t that interested in my Canadian life.
The decoration is lovely Anna 😍Thanksgiving is also celebrated in Europe but we do it differently. In Austria/South Tyrol we have „Thanksgiving“( „Erntedankfest“) or „St. Martin celebration“ („Martini“). There is a „harvest crown“ and you celebrate in church. And „Martini“ you celebrate with your family or in restaurant. And the typical dish is goose „St. Martin‘s goose“ („Martinigansl“). So celebrating a good harvest and say thank you is a very traditional celebration here too.
Mit Rotkraut!

@@phoenix-xu9xj the idea of Thanksgiving as a holiday is being thankful for the kindness of the native Americans and the pilgrims.. it has nothing to do with any European traditions . As a European living in the states for 20 years i am stating this opinion. 🙏
@phoenix-xu9xj 😂 Thanksgiving was started by the first European settlers in the US as a celebration of having survived the first winter.
No criticism to the comments here. If you watch this week’s episode carefully, you will note that Anna and Philipp are hosting Thanksgiving for an American friend. Just an observation on my part.
The new gates look so fabulous with the chateau in the background, well done!
Anna: „I like to change my mind.“ Philipp, be realistic, there is no objection to this. 😂
The gate was bugging you sooo much now finally it has been fixed…awesome Phillip..and Anna those table napkins are beautiful the tones fit the decor perfectly..so good to get a break from the hard slog scrapping the glue off the bathroom floor what a hard job that is..happy days to all..❤
Yay for the working gate! Imagine, hundreds of thousands of people are sharing your joy of getting the gate fixed. Great idea to alter the dimensions of the shower/toilet area.
Those molding frames along the bottom half of the walls is a perfect touch. Beautiful.
Boiserie is the right name, isn’t it Anna?
@@mariaroldan4200 Could be used but boiserie actually are wood panels mounted on the walls to reduce cold and noise and sometimes even used as fake walls. In this case moulding would be better.
Congratulations on getting the gate working! You were so close and that can be very frustrating. I am glad you called in some expert help and then even that person struggled with the problem. That must have made you feel a bit better 🥴. Anna’s Thanksgiving table setting gave her a much needed creative break from that horrible floor scraping task - great decision, Anna! Great vlog!! ❤
It did make me feel a bit less stupid 😀
And ( the very regal looking ) Ziggy, looks like he's supervising the entire renovation. : )
Yes indeed, autumnal and elegant! Love the look.
The moulding is beautiful
I agree with Anna about the toilet 😊
Great progress!! I love when we get to see the details of Anna’s decor ❤️ all the colors on the table were beautiful
Just hosted “Friendsgiving” with a group of close friends from all over (we’re all based in geneva). I was the only American and this was their first “thanksgiving” experience. I asked guests to bring a dish from their cultural origins and we had Indian curry, Brazilan salad, Belgian pie, Ivorian fried plantains, and a very American turkey with stuffing. All said they loved the spirit to give thanks, enjoy food from all over, and share good times with friends. To each their own whether they want to partake / host, but I love the idea to celebrate small things like the fall harvest in a big way with people you care about. Happy fall 🍁🍂
Can't tell you how happy I was to see you hosting a Thanksgiving. I had moved to Lyon France in October 1991; and to thank all those that helped me that first mouth. I hosted my first Thanksgiving in France for about 8 people. The last Thanksgiving I had in 1999 was up to 39 people. Quite a large affair. With kid from the universities in and around Lyon and friends. I had learned many things over all those year's like having to order my turkey/ dinner a month in advance. Also to take the head and feathers of it. And one year moving to a much larger flat and purchasing a much larger . It is wonderful to see that you are doing a Thanksgiving this year. I found that everyone loved the idea of a dinner just to give thanks to one another and for the bounty we've had during the year. Love you guy's! ❤
"Measure twice cut once, my father the architect always said, LOL. Love your channel and enjoy watching you do life together!! Happy Holidays from Ettrick WI!!
Love the new gate. It adds to the beautiful entry to the chateau.
Delighted you found a solution to the gate issue. The principle suite is going to be gorgeous. I love the napkins that Anna made and her Thanksgiving dinner table looks beyond lovely.
What a gorgeous Thanksgiving table, Anna!! And bravo Philippe (Phillip?) for the gate and all your hard work! The place will be (and is) STUNNING!! 😊❤🎉
It’s Philipp with 2 P’s. No E
Moving that toilet wall back was such a save!! It makes all the difference to the space. Well spotted Anna! And well changed Philip😂
Thanksgiving isn't celebrated in France. Although it is gaining popularity in Great Britain, it's considered an American holiday. I think having a day to be with family and/or close friends and be grateful for our blessings is important no matter where we live. Many congratulations on the gate. It's worth the wait.
No, it’s also a Canadian Holiday we celebrate in October and not just American.
@@darlenechandler2403the point is that neither of them is from a country that celebrates thanksgiving nor live in a country that celebrates thanksgiving. Also the fact that US culture and traditions have been exported across the world and American Thanksgiving was officially declared almost a decade before Canadian thanksgiving, so it isn’t much of a surprise that people think it’s American when its exported media and population (almost 300 million higher than Canada’s) are better known internationally
Canadian Thanksgiving is based from the Christian harvest Sundays of varying faiths that brought the holiday with them from England.
but Anna is from Great Britain. She can celebrate all her holidays no matter where she lives now
@@user-vi8ct8or4ythe UK doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving in any official capacity. It’s not just because the UK is an anglophone country that they celebrate all the same holidays as all other anglophone countries. Do they celebrate the 4th of July too?
Thank you. I enjoyed this episode. I’m so glad you were able to have a success with the gates, and see progress on the bathroom and bedroom.
Philipp, I am very impressed with how far your construction skills have progressed! As always, Anna's artistic endeavors are exquisite, & Ziggy has become the philosophical genius of the chateau.
Anna, your autumn designs are just beautiful and the wrapping paper is amazing. This is where your talent shines!
Still can't get over how beautiful the gates look with the property. It elevates the Chateau so nicely. And I cannot wait to see the master suite transformation! It's already looking so good!
Bathroom is looking great and love the molding in the bedroom. Anna’s, napkins and table setting are gorgeous! Great job!
We're almost done renovating our bathroom and had a similar thing with a planned wall / door that was just too close to the entrance. We moved it back a bit (only 15 cm) and it made a huge difference for the feel of the room! Plus we put in louvre doors so when opening it doesn't block the entrance. So excited to see how yours is progressing! ❤
It's so pleasing to finally see the gate closing. The smoke coming out of the little box next wek was heartbreacking. Thanks for this episod with a lot of variety. I don't do Thanksgiving but I wish you a wonderfull time. Wraping paper and napkings look really nice.
I have to admit, I miss the intro from the older videos. The music, the backstory, it felt so wholesome. Really miss it.
Maybe we bring it back for one vlog in the future :)
love the napkins and the paper.. so creative..
All great choices , it’s going to be so beautiful. So happy the gate is working now. Anna your napkins and table setting are just lovely. Im so glad Ziggy is able to comment now … he’s adorable.
Thanksgiving IS American... the Canadians do it at a different time. Just because Anna and Philip are welcoming friends for thanksgiving doesn't mean they are "importing" America to their channel!!! Its just being good hosts, it seems a bit bah humbug to comment on that particular aspect of this vlog which helps to promote Anna's sideline. 😂 So excited to see the completed master suite! 💜👌
Canadian Thanksgiving is in October, we don’t do the American one at all.
We did Burns night for our Scottish friends last year …… it was a hoot !! We are Definitely not Scottish!!! Although my wife went to a certain Royally connected Scottish School ( not Hogwarts😂)
You both are amazing people! Love watching your vlogs! Lots of love from Poland!
The work you have done on the Chateau is remarkable. I love the style that you both have created. It is a pleasure to watch , and you both motivate me to create changes in my home. Thank you.
I am SO glad you enclosed the toilet!
Me too!! I think it's better that way.
YaaaY!!! Congrats with the gates! They look wonderful! Progress on the Master Suite looks great! Anna, your designs are stunning, Thanksgiving will be a huge hit! Loved the video, thank you all.
I'm so glad you got the gates done. You're going to be so happy when it's pouring rain when you come home and you don't have to get out of the car!
Those napkins turned out so pretty!
I really love the bespoke napkins. Your creativity is always a pleasure to see.
The gate is beautiful! You should be very proud. I’m just wondering if you have plans to paint the front doors. It would make a huge difference in visual impact as you enter the property. Everything you’ve done so far is gorgeous!
Now that all the exterior masonry is completed, I would love for next summer’s project to be the chateau shutters. It would be lovely to see them back on the building and will really complete the facade. Also, I’m sure Anna will paint them a beautiful green. 😊
Anna, you are so talented. The table is amazing.
the gates look amazing! Great job! loved the stencil napkins, nice touch ❤ I’m sure they will enjoy them and appreciate the hard work. Can’t wait to see the bathroom 🙂🥰 Phillip looks great in red.
You two are just so awesome! Loved the music at the end!
Love the gates :). Bathroom and bedroom is coming along really well. Yes, Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving every year in October. It is something we look forward to. I love your table settings (the napkins) AND the wrapping paper is gorgeous. Very elegant and very creative. See you next (cannot wait).
The gates makes the property more regal. Very nice and I hope you enjoy your thanksgiving. ❤️
I absolutely love all your art/craft/design work Anna. you have a natural gift
Those who know what that little wooden box means, knows this chataux loves Austrian chocolate cake ❤
Yes, it was an original Sacher. Greetings from an Austrian. 😏
It was my wedding cake. I still have the box as well 😊
@@milesmcclelland2453 Hope you still have your partner! It sometimes was my birthday cake. My father sent them to Germany, where I live for 40 years.
I certainly do. 💘
Congratulations on getting the gate working 🎉🎊Love Anna’s table decor ❤❤❤Ziggy is adorable 😍😘
Happy Thanksgiving and give thanks for all you have been given!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great call on the wall Anna! And I love the Ziggy colored Thanksgiving decorations 🙂
The botanical napkins would look cute in a mandala configuration too. 🧡
Anna’s work is gorgeous!
The gate is amazing! 🙌
The gates are gorgeous! The bedroom is coming along so well also. Congrats.
So glad the gates are properly working. They look great! Love the Thanksgiving decor!
Philipp must be so excited that the gate is finally working. Electronics can be so confounding. I’m glad Anna asked to reconfigure the toilet shower area - she was spot on.
Congratulations on completing the gate! Its such an elegant entrance to the Chateau.
I love the creative projects, Anna does. The table looks gorgeous. It is so exciting the gate is working. Good call Anna on the wall placement in the bathroom. It is really coming together. Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with many blessings. ❤❤❤❤❤
Good thing Anna caught the need to resize the bathroom. It seemed to sound better but what do I know from way over here in Seattle/WA/USA but glad Phillip you concurred with her. Loved Anna’s printed napkins & the printed wrapping paper. I myself adore rubber stamps which helped me move on into watercolor painting. I have a wonderful collection of watercolor stamps. And then YEA! You fixed the gate! 🦃🦃 Happy Holidays to all & especially Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🦃🥂🥂🍾 We all have so much to be thankful for & I’m hearing things are going to start turning around for the whole world bc our dastardly leaders are going to be taken down. Blessings everyone.
Anna the napkins are gorgeous! Well done!
Living in a chateau is the dream of we mere mortals. Seeing you two, through hard work, and determination, achieve this dream is very fulfilling. Just remember, through life, there are lots of different phases, and sometimes some phases are not as sunny as others, but in the end life usually balances out. Anna your craft and artistic skills are stunning. That Thanksgiving table is so elegant and inspiring with not one tiny bit of kitsch anywhere. Perseverance has overcome the gate problem, well done.
Hello Darlings What a beautiful table The napkins look amazing Love you all🐶❤️
Beautiful work, Anna you’re so talented!! And so happy you got the gate to work!!😊
I love this process. I know it’s a lot of work, I done too many Reno’s in my life but I love your style, clean look and attention to beautiful details. Philip your talents and skill are amazing.
The progress is so exciting! It must feel good to get the shape of the spaces outlined
Love the table setting!
Amazing - both of you!! Gorgeous napkins and paper and fantastic progress with bathroom. The gate .. phew! another great success!
Gate. Done! And, yes, we Canadians observe Thanksgiving - while acknowledging that we are settlers and Indigenous people in Canada (Turtle Island) made it possible for early settlers to survive on this amazing, challenging land. Great episode - thanks for sharing.
Anna, you are a great artist! Congrats
Oh my so many good things going on!! I love the pattern for paper and napkins ❤ Yay Phillip the gates are finished 🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful table setting and the bathroom and bedroom are looking good. So glad you called in a professional for the gates, they look so elegant with the chateau behind them.
I'm still wishing for longer video's and more a week. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love that you are hosting Thanksgiving for your American friend 😊 I have a sneaky suspicion I might know who it could be. Anna, the napkins and gift wrapping paper you designed and created are gorgeous. Awesome job Philipp with the electronic gates solution. Thank you for sharing your week including ongoing renovations. Sending Happy Thanksgiving greetings from Mary, Sunny 😎 🌴 Central East Coast, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺 🥰
Absolutely lovely place setting and table you’ve created!❤
Happy Thanksgiving from America!!
My first thought as I watched Philipp cutting pipes: “Philipp! Are those your good pants??” 😂
Wonderful early Christmas present to us all, seeing the gate in place & working - and the dining room decor - just lovely! On a final note: Anna was correct about moving the wall & looking forward to seeing the room progress!
My favorite renovation series and adorable, funny family:) Greetings from Latvia!
I see the super auction deal dining room chairs are now going to be used. They really are good looking
A beautiful table for Thanksgiving.
Congratulations on the Gate! It is beautiful and the Thanksgiving Decor was totally French/American! I would like to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! It is a wonderful Holiday in America and will be in France too! 🦃🍁🍁🍁
Great call Anna, on the redesign of the toilet/shower layout. Your husband's support will be fully rewarded, when you're both enjoying the more spacious elegance, of the end result. Thanks for sharing the process. It has practical value to your viewers.
The paneling looks so nice! Great job. Phillip is so funny with his measuring ... lol All the best t you all.
Another milestone 😃
This is amazing!! I didn't know you celebrated Thanksgiving in Europe. 🎉❤
Lovely tablescape, Anna! 🍂🍁
I marvel at the skill of these master craftsmen. It really is so amazing to watch them bring beauty to life and functionality.
I agree gratitude is a human expression.....and must be passed on.
I agree with Anna about the wall. It would feel very cramped to walk into an area which rubs your shoulders. I also agree that you don't need a huge shower. Seeing the layout of a project, even with tape, is very important and negates having to undo framing or walls.
Yay, the gate works! Well done. Just keep on keepin on.🤗🇨🇦
Good job on the gate. Now to await the completion of the master bedroom ❤
My geometric obsession is very bothered by the fact the two gates don’t open and close at the same speed and alignment 😂. But I’m happy you guys have seen the problem solved 🙏
It’s necessary as gates have small overlap
@@HowToRenovateAChateau ahhhh! That eases a bit - not entirely - my obsession eheh ☺️
Thank you for being such an inspiration to me. I am a Project Manager living in TN. Watched your vlogs since 2020 ~ thank you. Just bought your Noel candle. ❤😊
Another awesome video. And a thought, I love your red dining room! I think though it needs a beautiful BIG dramatic artwork behind where Anna was standing to narrate her creative project. Maybe even some I’ve traditional landscape in a aged, traditional, decorative gilt frame, to contrast with the fabulous, modern, bold red. I think it could look so big, and bold and fantastic in your amazing room!
Happy Thanksgiving. Keep up the good (great) work. Your home is gorgeous. ❤❤❤❤❤
Sooo beautiful. ... With the push of a button! Congratulations
