You can get one of those ladders on a rail like what you see in libraries for the wardrobe
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Yes that’s what I was thinking! But maybe some sort of foldable ladder that stores in the cabinet
Benoit can make one. He'll love to do that 🙂
I think that only really works without doors, and then you'd have open hanging space which can easily look messy
And perhaps some hanging rails that pull out and down below!
I am a designer and color consultant and you are doing everything right -larger samples, room orientation, and a point of inspiration - the artwork. I recommend the darker yellow, and that is a classic period color (an ochre) which has been used for centuries as a paint color. Its also similar to India Yellow by Farrow and Ball. The artwork looks outstanding with that color. Also, in classic design with color, you could utilize a 60/30/10 format: the ochre is 60,% the sage green in the artwork could the 30%, OR the beige "sky" in the art being the 30%, and the black of the frame 10% could be in elements such as lighting, or one of those ebonized spindle chairs you purchased a while back. Natural linen also looks wonderful with this palette, for the curtains and the coverlet -thats both French and contemporary, and soothing and airy for the bedroom -the ochre in the walls being the predominate "hero" color.
I totally agree. The black frame made both the color and the frame and artwork pop.
Especially if brass is added to the room at any point as mentioned regarding the shirt hanging solution.
What beautiful comments 😮 👌
@@lorengalvez7402 yes to brass -great idea.
Hi I need/would love your help. I am looking for a neautral colour for my lounge- i have creamish sofas, dark wood furniture, brass mirror and frames - i cant find the right wall colour, im having sleepless nights 😅
My vote is for the yellow tones. I think the room will look both calm and fresh.
I agree with that choice too!
Agreed! I feel like it flows with the overall vibe of the Chateau better as well. Adding those gorgeous contrasts will make it still feel elevated, but not stuffy or overwhelmed.
Totally agree! 😊
Me too
I like the yellow tones as well, but vote for a lighter version of your blue tone. Browns and reds are not restful tones, which is something to consider for the room you want to sleep in.
I can’t even tell you how much peace your guys’ channel brings to my life. I wait for your videos all week! The classical music, the comedy, Phillip’s humbleness. You guys work so hard, in your renovations and in editing, and it shows in the quality of your videos. 😇 I will remain a faithful disciple 🤣
Glad you enjoy it :)
I personally like when bedrooms are calm/soft colors.
Me too. We had a yellow bedroom and it was not good for sleeping vibes. Changed it to sea glass green and it is lovely.
Me too. Light, dusky lavender is a very soothing color, which is very conducive to sleeping. That's what color I'm painting my bedroom when my house is ready to move in.
Could you maybe have a hidden step that slides out so you could reach the higher closet?
Was just going to comment this!
Prefer the green or a blue over Muscavado. Also dark colors will absorb heat more and can fade faster in a room that gets lots of sunlight year round. Although it’s cool outside now, in the heat of summer a room that reads heavy and warm like Muscavado can make it even heavier/warmer/stuffier. Color theory suggests going with cool light tones in a heavy sunlit room. In dressing rooms, I prefer the most neutral tones so that clothing and accessories are their purest tones for selection… you don’t want clothing selection to be altered by the wall color reflection. Everything you’ve done so far is beautiful and I’m sure this Suite will be the same.
Thank you Katrina for explaining the use of light colours against clothing in in dressing rooms etc.
Agree totally..
Dark colors will also obscure a lot of the detail in the beautiful wood paneling.
Madeline, the picture books, is a lovely story. “In an old house in Paris all coved with vines, lived 12 little girls in two straight line. And the youngest one was Madeline.”
❤️
❤️
O my gawd, Phillip, your parts are ABSOLUTE gold! Your editing and music - CLASSIC!! Thank you so much. SO entertaining.
I found myself laughing out loud, Phillip has an awesome sense of humor, love this channel.
Agreed! You make ,what could be tedious work for us to watch, very entertaining, interesting and sometimes even hilarious.😅 Very good storytelling skills. Love it! ❤👍👌🏼💯🙌
Regarding the color for the dressing room: For myself, I prefer not getting dressed in dark color rooms. It makes me feel like I'm getting dressed in a room without lights and I cannot find anything. I'd also consider choosing a color which will not reflect onto the clothes I'm trying to match. Which tie goes with a yellow shirt in a blue room reflecting green tints onto a yellow shirt? Dilemma!
agree - the clothes will appear different in the dressing room if there is a lot of color on the walls -- tinting the light bouncing around in the room. Also warm, side lighting will make you feel better about yourself when you're standing in front of the mirror.
You should just call us Stockers, Phillip! PHILLIP I LOVE WATCHING YOU AND YOUR HUMOR I GET. 🤣 😆 😄 THANKS FOR MAKING IT COMMICAL. Anna you bring balance and love to each space you create something very personal....LOVE LOVE LOVE U GUYS!❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much for watching :)
I think the yellow/gold tones would look best. It’s cheery and looks almost neutral so you could add color/drama with curtains, bedding and pillows. A dark color would fade quickly in the sunlight and is better suited for a library. Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together 😍😘As always love the humor 😂😂😂😂😂
All the Ziggy colors are so lovely! He walked into the frame when you were talking about the colors and I had a little moment just appreciating this combination of colors that seem to all have been chosen with him in mind. You've done the "muscovado" burnt umber one in the dining room so no need to repeat that, same with that grey-green. Go for the yellow ones in this gorgeous south facing series of rooms. It'll be lovely with unbleached natural linen colors for drapery and bedding, and it looks so pretty with the artwork. Use other colors from the painting in the textiles like soft furnishings, pillows, towels and such. Use unbleached natural linen lamp shades with lamps that are dark like the frame on the artwork. In the bathroom you can go the opposite for drama - strong contrast with rich smokey dark chocolate walls and light buttery colors in the cabinetry and plenty of brass fixtures that will just gleam. Put an eclectic collection of antique gilded framed mirrors on the wall in the bathroom, collect them from antique shops and estate sales. That'll conjure magic with the light that room gets! Then in the dressing room on the other side, go back to the softer yellow ochre palette of the bedroom. It'll be dramatic and lovely! It'll be fun to see it all come together! I know it's exhausting and overwhelming, and the decision fatigue is real, but it will come together. Using a professional designer can really help make this process less stressful because they're actually far more detached and able to see things realistically than you are. I realize it sounds like an insult and I don't mean it to be, it's always a hundred times more challenging when it's your own home, even when you have excellent taste and have worked as a designer for many years. Plus a professional designer should be able to show you a curated collection with textiles, furniture choices, paint colors, metals, and fixtures so that you're making your decisions in that context and not just one by random one - which is so much harder. And please, this is not meant to be insulting! I'm just mindful that you're making big design decisions without much helpful input, and that can be really stressful. But no matter what you do, if you plan the design of this Primary Bedroom Suite ("Master Bedroom" is less used these days) around your gorgeous dog, you can't go wrong. Ziggy is a work of art!
The gold paint palette for the bedroom is gorgeous and sumptuous
I love the gold for the bedroom. For the bathroom a pale blue with white trim.
Personally, I really like the relaxing seafoam blue-green color of your plasterboard, perhaps a shade or two lighter. Very spa-ish.
I thought the same! 🐚
For me the muscovado would quickly become oppressive, regardless of sunlight. Maybe for a moody library but not for my bedroom.
It's a dressing room
Agreed, or personally I think I would be more tolerant of that tone if it was wood, or maybe something like grass cloth, rather than just paint
Agreed!
@@skdoremi6666 Actually, if you re-watch the clip.....the colors they are discussing are for the bedroom!!
Totally agree.
I think Ziggy is a beautiful base color for your room!! He is hanging out the whole time while you post colors on the walls. “Hello! I am a beautiful coordinating color!”
I once painted a room with the goldish yellow. I came to grow very tired and almost angry with it. The reddish colour is warm and cozy and more comfortable than all the others. It also goes well with the blue/green. Mirrors and artwork can lighten the saturation of the colour. Just one opinion, you always come through!
The reddish/brown and blue-green combo is my favorite, too!
I did as well. The color was supposed to be closer to cappuccino but it turned out more like pumpkin LOL
The yellow is stunning in the bright room! When I was in retail we used long poles with hooks to bring down the hangers, that could be an option.
Yes, game changer! Plus, library ladders are always a win!
I am beginning to believe that Phillip could quite possibly pull off hosting "The Tonight Show" and successfully sit in for Jimmy Fallon, maybe even steal Jimmy's spot! So funny! Loving that rust color and your choice of music in each video is always great! Today was unexpected and really fun. Somehow you blend everything so well guys! Cheers!
The music choices are always fabulous. I'm a trained musician and really enjoy the music enhances the film. ❤❤❤❤
With lines like "they call me waste pipe Phillip for a reason." He's really a natural comedian.
The love the energy the 2 of you give to the château. Phillip's theatrical flare is entertaining.
For the top shelves, i think a library leader would be really cool
Hello, strangely enough, the sky blue of the plasterboard near your samples goes quite well with the color palette. More so than your darkest blue. Can't wait to see what you choose!
I had the exact same thought.
Love the darker yellow color for the bedroom! I think the dark blue in the bathroom could work but needs some light colored tiles.
Phillip is hysterical 😂. LOVE his humor and absolutely LOVE watching the rhythm of their marriage relationship! A great example of not taking life so seriously and getting our panties in a wod. Great video!!!
"Knickers in a Twix" as Robin would say ...
Philip your humor is absolutely amazing! Never stop being you. 😂❤
Usually i would go for a cool tone for a bedroom so that it's more calming. If you want it to be more energizing, that darker yellow tone is beautiful
matching door facades on each side of the room. Look into a "California Closet" type solution with pull down clothes bars that are supported by air pistons that help raise and lower the bars. Each closet could have double the storage space.
I think those were the ones Anna was talking about but did not like because they were too modern looking, hence the brass/copper comment, I think as much as she liked them she wanted something that would look in keeping with the age of the mansion and rooms.
California Closets used to both brass chrome and black@@dawsie
Calif. Closet wall hanging brackets all broke in our house, every single closet had that weak system... it may utilize space, but it's poorly constructed, so, they did not make a good wall mount, it fails, and all system will sag and pull out of the wall and become a huge mess. Hubbie had to put up vertical poles in several places to support weight of clothes on those weak wall mounts that failed, in every closet as all wall mounts broke down over time. And you cannot slide clothes as you could on a rod, because it's not a rod, but a wire box... Not a fan.
Well there you go. I have never used them All my closets were job built wood with rails and step ladders @@peacenow4456
My admiration and respect has tripled for you. I stumbled across the video I think made in the UK about how to reinvent some of those mansions and there were so many owners who were too lazy or limited in vision to save them. I’m sure they are still struggling or have thrown in the towel. You both are inspiration not to be like them. Your work is impressive and impeccable. I’m just sad you no longer host a B&B as you were definitely on my bucket list. 😊
The B&B is on hold till they have finished all of the rooms, they were finding juggling the renovations with the KZhead and the B&B just too much at the time it’s in one of the past videos. They have some other buildings on the property that also needs work. It was a tossup between KZhead and the B&B and the B&B lost the toss as they were having so much fun doing the KZhead at the time. But once the Chateau has been finished they said the B&B will be back.
I love the yellow!! It will be beautiful with the sun shining in.
I would find linens that you like first before deciding on wall colors. It always takes me longer to find fabrics that I like let alone trying to match to an existing wall color. Just my 2 cents
Hi ! very nicely done, as usual :) Philipp, i think you forgot to put some insulation material between the outside wall and the "placo" in the bathroom; Du wirst frieren ! :))
I thought the same thing. Chateaux are famously cold...all that stone. AND...insulation seems like a no brainer.
Yes. I wondered if the thick brick outer wall was enough to protect from typical winter temperatures in France. Certainly it would not be in Canada
@@madolynway6612 Madolyn, a typical brick or granite or stone wall will generally have an insulation value of one or less no matter the thickness. A typical insulated modern wall may have a value from ten to twenty while a ceiling may be 40 or more. The real problem isn't the heat but rather the moisture which will condense on that cold stone wall just like it does on your iced tea glass in the summer and cause mold on the plasterboard next to it. Good on cheeses sometimes, not so much for some other stuff. Vapor barriers are important. Lack of them is how houses get "sick" sometimes. Sometimes what we don't know can hurt us. Jack L.
I would go with pastel colors so the artwork stands out. The wall colors are there to support the decoration coming on top
@@peacenow4456 If the overall vision for what the room will look like is clear then the end result will work
Have you thought about duck egg blue ? And then staying with the blue hues in all three rooms ?
re double hanging: In the costume area of an opera house we used a simple, normal closet bar on the top. An old fashioned window pole with a bracket on one end made it easy to to access the clothing. It slipped under the hanger enabliing us to quickly bring down or put up the clothinng,
Yes. And you often see them in retail stores in the U.S. (Target, Kohl’s) to access out of reach clothing.
Thanks for the tip!
came here to give the same advice. This worked perfectly for me
What a silly boy you are waste pipe Phillip.I congratulate Anna for standing by you . Actually,the world is presently in urgent need of silliness,and I thank you for your contribution,glue sniffing and all.I love the idea of the yellow paint colour but I am somewhat prejudiced by the disappointment I feel with the colour I recently chose for my walls, and my wish that I had instead used more the colour you are contemplating.
Yep that’s what I do now, it’s easy and simple and can live hooked over the bar when not in use.
And I forgot to say Anna’s talent is amazing!❤
Thank you once again for laughter and renovations!! I love all the colours you've chosen and can't wait to see how you put it all together.
Very exciting to see the progress you are making with this suite. Philipp, you have forever earned the title of “Leonardo of the Wastepipes” with that ingenious meander you managed to bend into the pipe to get around the rock in the wall. Whatever colors you choose, I’m sure they will be beautiful.
I love the yellow colors! just one hint: Did you think about some insulation / vapour barrier between the new plasterboard wall in front of the existing outside wall? (For moisture protection)
And also for the bathroom walls.
Based on the color of the plasterboard it is the waterproof type.
Absolutely would go with the yellow/gold color. Stay away from the dark in the closet. Depends on your tile and counter tops in the bathroom.
You guys have become my favorites because of Philipp's sense of humor and your creativity and work ethic. I think you guys would get on famously with George and Amal Clooney. 😂
Phillip, I lovr your dry, wry sense of humor! The piping installation was riveting! I agree Anna. I like the golden yellow for the walls. The sun will make the room glow. Accent with the brownishish color. The entire pallette is fabulous
The cinnamon, umber, and sienna together would look beautiful. Thank you. ❤🎉❤🎉😊
Mirror the cupboards. For the higher up racks you can get a pole with hook, sold at higher end organization shops or custom closet stores. They also have racks that be lowered and raised which I have and love. Great channel!
The yellow tones are lovely but I like the darker one as well!
I really like the yellow in the middle, especially when you held the black frame up to it. It looked so rich, warm and soft all at the same time.
The red, black and cream color look the best in my opinion. The blue you held up at the end is also really beautiful with all of them, could be fun to make it very colorful.
I tend to like lighter, soothing colors in a bedroom. I would mimic the doors on the opposite wall, and I would keep your dressing room a light color so not to clash with your clothing. xx
Love the dark gold for the bedroom. Almost the same as we have in a southwest facing bedroom. Also, in the adjoining bathroom we went with a lighter shade of the same gold, as it is a much darker bathroom, as is yours. I love that color, even in the summer.
The music choices for Philipp's segments made me smile!
Fav Sunday entertainment. Love the light yellow and the mascabado playing together
I like the touch of teal for the bedroom and then it ties in well if you use it for the bathroom as well. I like the muscovado. Its warm and cozy, how I would want my bedroom.
I would not make decision until looking at colors on gray, cloudy day. But I know that your taste is what coults and it will be great, no matter what! Love to see the progress!
love the bold sugar color! i agree the blue that almost looks black is moody. if you're into having a cozy moody bathroom, that's the one!
Phillip you sense of humour is brilliant. So enjoy your videos.
Glad you like them!
so excited about this renovation, can’t believe it’s already been 3 months :) i really like the combination of black-ish colour with the yellow one on top for the wallpaper, very beautiful combination
Thank you!!
I really like the ochre with anthracite combination. I could also see it working as a wallpaper with the anthracite as a base layer, lots of ochre ornamentation, and then the panelling in the same anthracite but with a more satin or even glossy paint finish. Have you considered painting the wall from which the samples were hanging in a darker colour (combination), like a feature wall, and having a more subdued colour for the remaining surfaces?
I actually love all of those colours together!!! A wallpaper using all the colours together with the lovely mustard yellow as the main paint colour would look amazing. Cant wait to see what you come up with. Also, Philip, you are in fine form in this video...bloody comedic genius...and plumbing genius..of course.
I really love that mid yellow and especially with the green as the bathroom!! Feels very sumptuous and yet calming! And the yellow is the perfect uplifting but warming in winter months
Hi Phillip and Amna, I like the darker color yellow I think it would be beautiful to match the sunshine coming in to the south facing window! Love your channel! One day could you ever take a drive through Picardie? My great grandfather was from thar region. Thank you! Michelle
I loved the music in this one! As per usual, I feel so inspired watching you work together. Thank you so much for this. Hugs from Argentina.
You are so welcome! Thanks
Love you two together. You exude humour and great communication and you compliment each other.
I always get so excited when you post a vlog! I love the colors for the bedroom. However, studies say that blue tones in the bedroom make for better rest and sleep. As always you all do wonderful work, while entertaining us with your humor! Thank you!
And I just painted my bedroom a soft glowing cream with rosy undertones because I love waking up to a perpetually "sunny" room regardless of the actual weather. Different priorities for different people.
I really love the muscovado!! It’s a stunning and captivating warm colour, I have the paint sample here too and it immediately stands out. There is definitely enough light to get away with it, with the south light it does need a stronger colour. I dont mind the deeper, darker yellow either, but the light one gives me 80s magnolia vibes (and not in a good way).
The dark mustard, yellow is my choice, but the rusty color also looks really nice.
Love your snip bits you video of your garden and the wild life. Your taking five, to take in the sun and your surrounds is great. It's inspiring. Cheers.
Phillip you make me smile ,laugh out loud. Your journey is challenging but you are both up to the task of renovating your home.
*Philipp Try to spell people's names correctly.
The paint color that is closest to the color of Ziggy. The middle yellowy gold one on the top three colors. That one is my favorite! I love it with the black accents!❤❤🎉
mine too (philipp)
I could go either way with any of those color pallets, but I think you’re right about that darker color in the bathroom. You should definitely go lighter OR even do like a French provincial white wash in the bathroom
Phillip, as a meditator, I am very interested in and very grateful for the way the music you choose affects my mind and attitude. I can feel it change according to the sound and that is very interesting. I never thot that sound might be dangerous or nerve-wracking, helpful and nourishing. Thank you for this discovery! No wonder plants don't like hard rock!
Don’t worry about moveable rail, just get an extended pole with a hook 🪝 similar to those used in clothing stores to reach high rails. Yellow tones and matching height doors in the closet to mirror the extant ones (obviously with the bespoke layout behind)
My vote is for lighter colours. I personally love a light and airy bedroom and wardrobe area. Feels bigger. For me it feels calmer, more peaceful. Also is it for yourselves or for guests as in are you planning to reopen it as a bnb?
I love your renovation scenes, Phillip-you always make me laugh out loud. I can relate 😂. I much prefer the lighter yellow colors. Good progress! Have a good week!
Phillip makes the Reno’s so entertaining!
Philip's sense of humor is so hilarious! So entertaining.
I loved the dark color that resembled the frame of the painting. It would be nice for the wooden paneling. (I would go for a darker "base" and a lighter upper part). I imagine there might be a "print" involved on the walls, so I'd go for that caramel shade that is in the middle of all those nude shade samples on the wall.
LOVE the ochre. And the red.
I love that palette. The tan is a lovely colour so rich and warm. The blue/green goes so well with it.
Following your youtube videos is so much more fun than any TV show! WPP (Waste Pipe Philipp) is a legend! I have become a disciple.
Can't wait!!
Your dog’s coat is the exact shade you need. As the dog greeted you, he passed through a sun beam and that was fabulous.
Ziggy knows all; he can do no wrong. Trust him on color.
MUSIC: Just wanted to sign on to let you know how much I liked all your different music choices for this episode. So fun. So playful. Really reflective of your personality Philip!
Love the darker yellow. It always makes a room bright, homey and comfy:)
I think the colours remind me personally of a 70s revival although they are coordinated. I am wondering why there was no insulation put in the walls of the bathroom.
I am concerned also about plumbing on an outside wall. Mine have frozen in the winter and burst.
I would mirror the doors but look at storage shelves at a higher level for out of season clothes and see if you could source one of the racks that pull down and out so that you can hang two levels of clothes - maybe Phillipp 's at the higher level. Then have the shallower cupboards on the opposite side for accessories and items that can be folded and stacked. Also consider lighting inside the cupboards - maybe USB lights that are motion activated.❤ We painted the inside of our wardrobes in a very deep red (Farrow and Ball Incaradine) so that the wardrobes feel like a jewel box when you open the doors. I think it would also be nice to paint the island unit in one of the deeper colours to make it an eye catching feature. Loved the way the picture popped on the deeper colours. Maybe you could create some silhouettes of your family or features of the chateau or the church to play on the black contrast you like. Check out Lionpic for great choice of picture frames which you can buy as lengths or cut to size. Sure they could post to France if not deliver to your parents. ❤
You are really good at picking paint colors, so go with whatever you like and I am sure we will love it!
You both do a great job with the colors and the movement of the furniture. Keep up the good work.❤
Love the schemes, difficult to really appreciate the colors via video. I’m rather partial to what appears to be a yellow ochre tone and am very intrigued by that very, very dark brown near black. I also don’t think the blue is too dark for the bathroom. That said I’m partial to darker more saturated tones. I’m sure it will all be very lovely whatever the colors may ultimately be.
I LOVE the muscovado with that blue shade, really beautiful contrast
Phillipe! I am amazed over your modisty and humility. You are a rolemodel for every young man out there. And you look good to. Anna is a lucky girl!
I just love Philipp comments! :) They really making my day!
For the record... the deeper "butterscotch" yellow from the samples you showed. (Philipp probably is secrety pitching for that orange toned one again. Ha ha.)
I would take down the existing wardrobe. Use the doors for a new and deeper wardrobe on the other side of the room. This way you keep the fireplace free which will make your room beautiful, functional and save on costs too
Philip, you are hysterical, with that outfit and that music playing you’re a riot! Anna, we love you too. You guys are the perfect couple. !
NOW you start being overwhelmed????? Anna, you are my decision-making idol!
I prefer the lighter tones. The golden color looks nice. As much as I prefer golden (my whole house is golden butter color) supposedly you should use cooler colors in south facing rooms. Especially in parts of the world that are hot for long seasons. But rules are made to be broken I always say.
Give that thumbs up to our favorite Chateau owners!
One of my favorite.
Oh dear me, you guys make my heart happy. God bless ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
