When you hang a painting where there is wall paper, cut a small V and flip it up then nail the wall and not the paper. When you want to change it , then you just remove the nail and flip the wallpaper down and you would never know there is a nail hole.
Great tip!
Brilliant!
You are so very lucky to have your incredible cousin taking care of the chateau.
So glad you’re ditching the pink, phew! The second of the neutral ones would be lovely 😊
Amury is a great craftsman! He is not one to just spot fix a problem. So true of what he said, especially with the new heating system. Insulate all you can to save heat! Blessings to you all.
Amaury is also a lovely man. I love his sense of humour, his work ethics and his craftsmanship.
Insulation is so important. Especially since you have been putting in all that heating system. The amount of cost is minimal compared to the cost of loss of heat.
It would be so good to see your pantry cupboard doors scrubbed clean and repainted, while you have this spare time while Amaury's fixing the dormer in Pavlina's room. Also love your new lighter colour choice. It will give 'space' to the patterns of the bedding and the wallpaper. It will be lovely.
I thought the same thing. I know little jobs often lead to humongous jobs, but everyone sees it everyday.
I have thought that for absolutely ages , why would you have scruffy doors and as my dad used to say no taste like a pantomime horse , every room looks a mess and unfinished
They plan to redo the whole kitchen so it can be done then. The heating system, bedrooms, and Grand Salon are what they are working on currently. Once the steel beams are there, a huge mess will ensure. 😂😂😂
It would not take very long to clean and paint the pantry doors. I’ve been wanting to do them myself for years. 😃
All the tut tutters out today.
Without insulation the cold drywall next to dormer meets the heat from inside and humidity forms causing the drywall to mold. All the more reason to use a moisture barrier with insulation before drywall!
In summer the outdoors heat meets inside cold of these old stone bldgs. All the more reason to insulate before prettying it up.
Had not thought of that. It must certainly be a contributing factor.

Would be fabulous if all Father's paintings were gathered in his own gallery for display, within the chateau.
Hah, not having seen yours, i have made exactly the same comment. I think it is a much better idea and she can open the gallery for viewing to the public.
Stephanie said in the future that a gallery would be a great idea. Far in the future. Isabelle's room has many paintings displayed currently
It's amazing to me that you can paint furniture without a drop cloth and not get any paint on the floor.🎉 Love your assistant.
Great idea of amaurys to make sure it's insulated well. It will help you a lot in the winter and make the chateau last longer
The painting is lovely but I love the wallpaper on its own
The painting somewhat clashes with the style of the room. I know you love your fathers paintings but maybe you could find a more appropriate place for them then covering up the beautiful wallpaper that you painstakingly put up.
Agree..
I agree with you the pink would just look cheap. The greens are a great choice I think. 👍
🤔That pink was rather sickly sweet. They were wise to change directions. The nursery school color on the door would do a decided disservice to the charming floral wallpaper😂.
My friend painted her living room walls a similar sweet green hue. I HATED it. It felt like sitting in a bowl of mint ice cream. Not comfortable or pleasant🤢.
🤓For years, that same friend had a two tone master bedroom. A bold purply-pink violet on bottom & a light lilac on top w/a pansy papered chair rail that made sense of them. The combo was quite charming. It didn't feel infantalized. It struck me as unbelievably fresh, feminine, & beautiful together.
As a person who is comfortable in neutrals, I once thought all white paints were created equal. Hah! I made the mistake of painting my walls a white that had an unfortunate blue undertone. It was stark prison chic. Not restful😵. Nor did it play well w/other colors.
😉Thought it was color that my senses objected to, but I was perfectly content facing an intense Mickey Mouse red & also a MM blue painted wall at two different divisions of TWDC for over a decade👍.
🤫From these experiences, I finally figured out it was the undertone that made all the difference. Found walls w/a neutral to warm undertone to be far more pleasing.
🧐Oddly enough, I prefer clothing that has a neutral to cool undertone. Pure white. No garments in cream, camel, or gold near my countenance. Anything w/a warm undertone instantly depletes my energy😔.

When I restored my 1890 house we never put a hole in the walls we hung our artwork from a wired attached by a hook from the ceiling molding. When we sold our beautiful house in retirement we left no holes in the walls. Love your videos. ❤
Lancelot watching you paint whilst sitting on the stool in front of the fire. What a picture.
The neutral tone paint good choice.
Stephanie and Philip you are a brilliant team.
Greetings from England.
Use an inexpensive, plain, neutral bedspread for the main bedcover and fold the French, floral comforter at the end of the bed…with the beige-y walls.
Seems probable as there is a lot of busyness going on in the rooms. To many patterns.
Something a designer once mention, Sarah Richardson, was when doing a large floral to balance it, you need some geometric in the room, and patterns work in uneven number, 3,5, ect. So for examples, a large floral, a small floral, then a a stripe, gingham, plaid ect. Or another example, Large geometric, small geometric or small floral, and then a large or small floral. She's decorated some awesome places and she follows her guidelines. Her rooms always look stunning. She doesn't follow trends as much as she follows principles in design.
you could even tack a pretty white fabric over that bed if you wanted.. if i was staying for a long time, i might try it. for fear of damaging it with my hair.
Stephanie you are 100% correct on having statues in the garden. It makes is so grand. I love your garden statue.
Also I love that your reviving that little end table. I bet it will turn out lovely. 🦋
Lancelot not taking his eyes off of Steph as she painted really warmed my heart. He’s besotted with her❤
😘Thought the same. He was so darling atop his perch. Shifting to catch her every move. 👀Watching 🖌Stephanie w/such great intensity. ❤Love lil' Lancelot.
💚Bridget from Cali☘️

And she's besotted with him. It's great to see her become a dog lover, there's no going back ❤
I always want to hear what Amaury has to say. Unfortunately he has such a soft voice, he needs his own microphone since what is happening now, I can't catch all the words at all even with my laptop at 100 percent.
Use the lightest hue for the woodwork to allow the space to expand visually. The contrast of darker hues to the wallpaper will only define the the room’s dimensions more
Why are you hanging Art over a Mural????
Huge loss of the feeling of being outside in a garden atmosphere
Sit Lancelot in his little sweater supervising the painting is the cutest thing ever !!
My own opinion but that wall paper was beautiful on its on.
It's probably just me, but I find paintings put on a wallpapered wall is a clash of arts 😮
Especially when the paper is a mural - too much going on.
Yes paintings too much ...the wallpaper is enough it's so gorgeous I think the paintings are far too heavy....embrace the wallpaper
Agreed. Mirrors are lovely as is plants against mural wallpaper. As much as I love Stephanie's father's paintings, they simply do not work here and the one takes away from the other.
My own opinion as well.
I agree with you 💯 👍
Lancelot struggling to stay awake, so involved in the proceedings. He is adorable and a delightful addition I look forward to in every vlog. Thank you ❤
Go lightest green-y neutral. Outlining the doors and woodwork makes the room appear smaller, the lightest color is definitive but not a Color. Your eyes might tire of all those patterns in six years and you'll want to refresh the room again, the lighter shade leaves more room for more ideas later on.
(I do understand the desire for higher contrast, I'm tossed between trad "white" trim in my DR and going full Abigail Ahern "trim & all" Gentleman's Gray . It's a small house, what to do, what to do....)
Amuary should have an apprentice to pass on his craft 🙂
give them time a son or daughter will be a great apprentice
Dan could learn a lot from Amuary
Definitely his son or daughter ❤
@@okapi323😊Gaining such 🛠reno skills are helpful for most anyone to learn. I would happily do it. It seems smart for Philip living full-time in a ⚜️Château that needs constant upkeep to try his hand at these things. Hiring these jobs out is NOT always feasible.
😘Amaury teaching others the tricks of his trade would slow him down, but it would be good practice for when they have little ones👶around.

Everyone should work in the best job that shows their own skill set. Think that would not work for Phillip or Amaury.❤❤❤
I’m so glad you are going with a green or sage base. It is the one color that ties the paper and furnishings together 😊
I do love the paintings, but I think in the Dining room, the wallpaper is its own art, and wouldn’t cover it up.
The wallpaper in the dining room is awful and needs to be redone to match the beautiful chairs and curtains. It totally clashes with the chairs and curtains
@@405Marlenashe just put that wallpaper in the last two or three years… fairly recently. And I remember her saying it was on the expensive side so I doubt she’s going to replace it anytime soon. I think the wallpaper is actually pretty, but used in a room with so many doors and windows you don’t get the full effect of the mural as it’s broken up quite a lot.
Yep, and paintings match but not the frames.
@@405Marlena agree! I think the chateau needs to be more tastefully decorated,old French luxury style, would look absolutely beautiful. I do love watching them though. 😀
I Personally do not like the paintings on the wall paper. It all clashes. Sorry Steph.
I agree i don't think you can hang painting on Muriel wallpaper. I agree better decision on the discreat paint for the doors 👍
Starting my day with these daily vlogs and a cuppa is just the down time I need as a busy working mum, and good morning from Australia by the way! 😁✨️💐
And as you having your morning cuppa I’m having my nighttime one. Have a great day from 🇬🇧 to 🇦🇺 x
Same with breakfast, coffee and Vegemite on toast
Me too. Little damp here. Have a wonderful day everyone.
These are not really daily vlogs as the Xmas tree and decs are up so they are just using old footage they are not like Dan's which are genuine daily vlogs.
great alternative paint choice, i would go for the 2nd palest colour. and some fine greenish decoration on the small cabinet would also be nice.
Amuary is definitely right about stripping back to insulate it will be a game changer. Love that you are moving away from pink and going for the neutral colours to enhance the wallpaper.
I absolutely love those green velvet chairs !!!
Ya, me too.
Please do something about those very worn kitchen pantry doors. You've gone blind to them, but they're hideous.
It's not hideous lol, but it could use a good paint touchup
Ha! Funnily enough, I noticed them and thought they could definitely do with a fresh lick of paint 😅
I guess I have a lot to learn about French interior design . The floral chair, with a different floral pattern on the bedspreads and another different floral pattern on the headboards is very over powering for one room. No where for the eye to rest.
Mixed fabrics with the same colour palette can work together but you need to have the plain neutral fabrics and colours to work as a contrast which will then pull the whole scheme together.
Agreed.
"Nowhere" ...
Thank you @@ladylibertywdc8324 . ☺
Much better paint choice. Love neutrals when everything else is so busy.
He is such a blessing!
I like how Lancelot takes interest in your projects
i love how lancelot oversees the painting progress😂 too cute🐾❤️🐾
I agree 100% that the beige will give it a classier look. I hope that you go that way.
I find it hard to focus on one or the other as well when paintings are hung on a wallpapered wall. Too busy and no place for the eye to ‘rest’ and enjoy the art.
WHAT?!? I love that story about Vanessa and Duncan. If you ever travel to their home again, I'd love to hear your tour of it!
There are many wonderful books on The Bloomsbury Group and Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. I got a few at the local library and ended up buying them on Amazon.
Amaury is such a pro and knows what he’s doing!! 👍
I absolutely LOVE Derrick's paintings. Truly, he is one of my favorite painters and it's a thrill for me whenever one is featured simply because it's being rehung.
Amaury will do a smashing job on the bedroom. I like that you changed your minds on the pink. That egg sandwich made me hungry.😂
Stephanie….just a minor comment….the cupboard doors that you see behind Amuary ( when you’re talking with him in the kitchen)could surely use a little touch up paint where everyone’s hands open the doors. Wouldn’t take 10 minutes at the most. Also, when do the French take down Christmas trees and decorations?
Stephanie said the decorations will come down in February. They may need a catch plate on the cabnet door. They'll decide when they redo the kitchen.
No reason to take down these decorations when dolts are still leaving comments about them.
I love modern art as a mix with antiques. They look great hung in that room...
I like the new paint selection. Loved the tale of Vanessa and Duncan, selacious.
Perhaps your grey kitchen cupboard needs a lick of paint, looking grubby ;)
The wallpaper stands on its own. The art is very nice but not there. Too much.
Oh wish I was there ! I could make that cabinet very ‘Bloomsbury’ for you ! Maybe that’s something I can do next time I come if you have any other pieces that need painting!
Please bring back Sundays at the Chateau! I really enjoyed those back in the day.
I agree completely. I was thinking same thing yesterday 😊👍
I know it can be disappointing when you have decorating plans that are delayed, but In the long run the insulation/moisture barrier will be so worth it! I love the more subdued paint with the wallpaper.
Lancelot is very invested in the decorating. So cute.
And those bright fuchsia velvet pajamas are gorgeous for sure!
The chateau grounds are so pretty. I’d love a morning and evening walk everyday. Such views!
I commented back ages ago that the roof space should be insulated when I saw there was none in the attics. 40% of your heat gets lost through the roof if there's nothing to keep it in. One contributing factor as to why it's so cold.
A thorough approach to incorporating insulation of roofs and walls in the top floors and adding double glazing to windows would help the place retain more heat. The folks at Lalacelle have been replacing their old windows with ones incorporating DG yet they look authentic. Another thing Amaury could do at some point.
And you should replace those dodgy electrics. Yes, a lot of work, but it's necessary maintenance you should be doing in phases over time. A bit more than a lick of paint and a layer of wallpaper 😄
(Plus in France I understand you can claim back some of the cost of insulation through the tax system)
I believe the electrics were all updated when they did the initial renovation after buying, the switches are replica vintage ones.
Please research the dangers of mold before closing the walls. It will not be killed with chlorine bleach although there are good options for remediation although I am not familiar with solutions in Europe.. Mold/mildew is a dangerous health hazard. Best regards as you. move forward.
And your medical speciality is what, again?
Maybe you're just a GP, or general practitioner, am I correct?
Well, the most important thing is that you've got a medical degree of some sort, as, I'm sure, you wouldn't leave this type of comment if you hadn't got one!
We all feel a lot safer when highly qualified health professionals such as yourself share life-saving advice (although unsolicited, but hey! If it saves lives...) with the rest of us.
Thank you for your invaluable service to the community.
The paintings need plain walls…the wallpaper is gorgeous on its own
Love the paintings, you are so lucky to have your father's art! Good choice with the paint colour!
His art is so lovely! I wish you could order prints.
I agree, as in my reply comment. Stephanie's decor philosophy - is more, is more and more is best. One can see this throughout Lalande, there is no peaceful space because it's chocker block with clashing colours and overwhelming prints. However, it is Stephanie, Michael's and Nick Chateau if and if they also love this style then, it's their Chateau and choice and not ours. I would find it suffocating. Xxx ❤❤❤
Phillip's taste, too.
wow the walk is so peaceful and a wonderful break from the chaos of this world right now thank you and God Bless
I love it too but IMHO it needs some sort of perennial hedging, something that define the space in all 4 seasons.
My knees hurt from seeing you sit on that stone like that! You gotta take care of you, Steph!! 🤗
at about 7:12 when Phillip is holding the wallpaper up, i actually think it looks really nice against the doors behind him (and the color of the stone on the fireplace). the color of the doors really matches the wallpaper quite well and makes the flowers pop! i also cant lie, the gold trimming of the woodwork would really doll up the whole countryside jewel box look, but if your going more country i feel the gold would be a bit on the fancy side. anyway i love the direction that this room is going in and cant wait to see it done!
Excellent decision to go a more subtle direction for the woodwork! I vote for the lightest color but you do whatever works for you!
So glad you have Amaury there to help you avoid pitfalls and get things done properly. I know the instant gratification is postponed but you’ll all be pleased you won’t have adorably decorated iceboxes and instead, thoughtful, beautiful, cozy bedrooms! It will be worth the additional time and finances to get it right this time! Great job, everyone! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I would pick the two lighter colors. It will make the wallpaper pop and compliment the fabrics❤
Time to take down your beautiful Christmas decorations - hard to look past them. 😉❤
Stephanie said she will take them down in February.
Why on earth?
Dolts keep leaving comments about them, haven't you noticed?
🤡
I think a square sample of the fabric put on the front of the small painted side table with a padded backing and trim around the square would add a lot. Great work you guys!!
Decoupage that piece of furniture ur painting. You could use soft florals and try to match the bedframe. Also for the bathroom, no idea what it looks like but what if you painted it a cream and then used that pink in a roselace stencil ? Just lightly dab it. I think it could look sweet and not cheapen the room. I did watch the video of the lace room and loved it
Stephany, why not have Philip use the tiny green leaf motif in the wallpaper as a guide to mimic and paint onto the 'unsightly' bedside table? Then add small coral roses (minus the stems) surrounding the leaf motif. Almost like "Crazy-Quilt Stitching" that you would see on a gorgeous Crazy Quilt. 🤗
He could even enlarge the size a bit. It will match the decor and liven up that plain table.😊
Lancelot is not keen to loop😂😂😂😂
GO GREEN WITH THE WALLPAPER, MUCH MORE FRIENDLY THAN PINK !
I love the idea of contrast….green goes with everything…..pink….purple….orchid….yellow….and red!….love green! ✨
I'm so glad that you mentioned the garden table and bench needs to be straightened. Phew!
Love the serene walks along the forest paths and the bucolic country landscapes. Though end they must and it's back to busy chateau life. I think the change in direction of the paint color to a softer green/beige is a move that will have a really positive impact on the visual appeal of the room. May the paint be with you!
Only 11 months until next Christmas, so you might as well leave the tree up 😉
Love your pretty sweater. You pick the nicest things. Have fun with your room re-decorating. Gray goes will with pink.
Love the tack on the wallpaper color. Ironically, that's exactly what I was going to comment on...to go with a neutral for the woodwork and let the wallpaper shine. Good call!
so many buildings were never insulated. it's important that your home is properly insulated and renovated.❤better than ever.
So happy your choosing in the green shades as I suggested in my previous comment. Your father’s paintings are amazing just not on wallpapered walls .🇦🇺🙋♀️
Add white paint to soften the pink paint , if too bright, add a touch of brown to make dusty rose🌸. Also you could pick a picture out of one of your books…get a color copy and decoupage it….you could also buy wood you bend onlays with laurel leaves, or cherubs, etc.
LOVE the new colour choices! Much better and softer! It's a good thing that Amaury is there to the rescue, saving your energy and warmth for your future comfort. Better to do a job well and throughly now, even though it can be a bit of a pain. In the meantime you've found plenty of other little projects to spend your time well. 🥰🤗
Loved watching Lancelot supervising Stephanie’s painting!
I love the daily vlogs! Such a treat. Thank you ❤
Lovely Stephanie you really need to paint those large kitchen cupboard doors first, gosh there looking a bit worse for wear. After all that's what people see first before going upstairs. Sorry to add to your "to do list"😂. Sending love as usual England 🏴 x
Bravo to you Stephanie. Painting on a bare floor, and not a spot to be seen. And not a drop on your painting clothes or hands! Wonderful to see Amaury doing a stellar job on the bedroom.
I think a fresh spring looking pale green would look lovely. 👍
Hmmm maybe you can try what Anna from How to Renovate a Chateau does with paint samples before finally painting the said wall/door/etc. is you can paint the sample onto sheets of think paper, tape it on the doors/walls you want to paint, look at the colors throughout the day and night, and see what you think and feel about the said color. Your precious time is getting wasted with painting whole doors or walls and only realizing later that it didn't quite have the look or feel you were expecting. I hope it all works out soon.
Personally I love white woodwork. It's classy, fresh and timeless. X
WOW, the wetlands are so incredible! Just freakin' incredible...
Amuary you are a blessing to LaLand. Thank you for going always the extra mile. Stich in time saves 9. A guy after my own heart. Love the change of color looks more adult. Thank you for your vlogs.
Nothing beats simple cuisine after a period of indulgence! Loving the hanging of the paintings. Thank you for the video!
I really liked the painting on the walls ! It’s complimentary without being to matchy matchy :)
Oh Dear, you look always freezing. I know now that Princess are always freezing in their castles.
Thank you so much for all your videos so friendly.
Have a good night.
🌺🌺🌺
Thanks for the walk😊
That's a whole lot of pattern for that room.
Idea for the table - how about cutting out some elements of the flowers from any extra wallpaper and using a decopage technique to add the flowers to the table?
Why haven’t you put a cover down to paint to save the beautiful flooring 😮???
Nerve wracking 😳
It would be a great idea to dedicate a whole room to your father’s pictures. Maybe create a gallery with a neutral background, to allow the vibrancy of your father’s pictures to really shine through.
Stephanie said she would love to do it someday. Isabelle's room already has many paintings.
It's your own idea that you call "great"?
Conceited much? 😐
@@aiglonducal314 neither conceited or as presumptive as you. Much.
Super Amaury!!! He needs his own hero costume! The colour for the woodwork is sooo much better. Love your father paintings in the dining room. I am a fan of 'when antic meets contemporary'. They always complement each other.
I'm SO GLAD that Amaury is stripping that wall back so he can get it properly insulated. Thank you, Amaury, for all your hard work!!! Now it will be more cozy for Pavlina when she returns. I'm so happy that you went neutral with the paint color. The wallpaper is so cute, it wouldn't get appreciated with such a bold color on the trim and door. I really love the two paintings of your father's together in the dining room. They pair so perfectly. Would you consider having the smaller one re-framed so it balances out the other? I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead. 💖💖💖
