RIPPING APART our MEDIEVAL CHATEAU
The day we've been waiting for for so long has arrived. Now that we're living in the coach house, we can finally start to literally rip off the layers of 20th century renovations in our chateau to find out which historic features might have survived beneath. The chateau with the story under the floorboards that I mention later on in the video is this one: www.bbc.com/news/stories-44265475
We are Marc, Amy, Clement and Juliette, a French-English family restoring a 33 room medieval chateau and huge estate in southern France. Follow our award-winning, historically-sensitive restorations and our journey towards self-sufficiency and sustainability, with plenty of laughter along the way.
We have just launched a brand new channel, @LostGardensofChateauRosieres to showcase our gardens and estate project. We'd love it if you could head over and click subscribe if you like it!

    HINT: I did wall paper removal on 15 rooms 14' ceilings. The best method is a hand held spray pump. Garden sprayer. Fill with warm water and fabric softner. Staturate walls. Allow to sit 20 minutes or so then easy to scrape. This method works on all types of paper, especially on plaster walls. Silk, jute, flocked.

    Amy….you are soooo talented! To hand paint a chair rail on the paneling is a huge undertaking. I think the idea of using the stencil to trace on to the wood is a great idea. Then you can come back and paint a few sections at a time. Your “little helper” is adorable!!! 😉🥰 👍🏻🙏

  • @greenrockgarden2851

    Ahhh! Looks better without that wallpaper already!

  • @katherinecormack5727

    What a glorious difference ... even with bits of wallpaper and paste still visible. I could feel myself breathe easier as each panel was removed. Well done.

  • @bondfieldmarcoux833

    Opening your home life, albeit to a uniquely homey chateau experience is in itself a privilege to receive but as well a humanitarian act of generosity to many old folk living alone like myself, a gift of human poetry at it's finest wit, candor and infinite tenderness. Special thanks to brilliant and lovely Margo and her mum .🌹🌹🌹

    This has to be one of my favourite videos! The fun you all had ripping off long swathes of wallpaper (SO satisfying), the delightful footage of your gorgeous children helping with such concentration, the successful result and your joy at the outcome. Not to forget Margot's return and Marc's healing. Just wonderful! ❤

    About 20 years ago, we pulled down the past owners’ vinyl wallpaper in our hallway.The kids loved it so much that 2 weeks later I received a call from my mom in California who was watching the kids while I was in New Orleans. She said she walked into her guest bedroom to find my daughter happily peeling the paper off the walls! It’s a good thing my mom never liked that paper much! 😂

    🍃🌳 well done kids! They were really into it! I do hope you will paint all that depressing woodwork White! It will be so much cheerier. I don’t know why some people are so hung up on thinking it’s a crime to preserve it, it was very fashionable in the 17th & 18th centuries to have painted wood. But certainly ridiculous to paint wood on wood, I agree! 🍃

    What an amazing difference already! Lightness and brightness. Juliet’s face concentrating and Clement being so grown up sweeping and helping. ❤ It was lovely to watch them both being part of it. What wonderful memories they will have to look back on in the future. My son still remembers helping to restore a medieval cottage when he was four. The fact you will also have it documented with video diaries is particularly special. Well done all of you. Glad to see that Mark is on his feet and looking well.
