Taking the time to present you this little room with huge potential. It's an authentic boudoir from early 18th century, probably around 1700-1710.

And you, which colour would you choose for the boudoir ?
What kind of furniture would you put inside?
The color should complement or repeat the colors of the adjoining golden living room. Perhaps two soft, green tones which would fit with the period. Can you discover what the original color may have been? Mahogony finishes for feminine pieces such as a small writing desk for her to keep and write love letters, one or two pastel tapestry upholstered chairs near the fireplace, and a tufted sofa, chaise, or fainting couch for any occasional tryst. A mirror or two on a table to freshen the lady's make up and/or hair. A Persian area rug and silk or velvet curtains in coordinating pastel colors to bring everything together. It would be tragic to put anything on the beautiful, original paneling.
A fainting couch plants and writing desk and chair. She can keep her whining in there and not spread it throughout the home. I’d put a beautiful botanical wallpaper where there isn’t paneling. I believe the work is moldings. 🤷♀️
I think keep all panelling and, no stone, chandelier a great idea. I think deep colours are best for a sulking room, autumn times, burgundy, deep green, deep blue, rustic orang etc to invoke emotions. Velvet chairs, heavy curtains, lamps as well battery operated haha, throw rug carpet, blankets, pillows and painting will create ambience, beautiful old painting that tell a marvelous tale.
Corals pinks greens in the fabrics , just to represent the feminine but the walls n such still match adjoining room ? If I were a woman back then I would have needed a whining room 😉❣️
I’m English and I was told it was a sulking room. But I think I prefer upset room.😂
Haha good one
The boudoir will be very cosy. I agree with you not wanting to leave the stone exposed in the corner.
Thanks for your input 😉
I’m watching you in your beautiful boudoir. I love the idea of leaving the brick in the boudoir. The OLD and Newer together is just beautiful in my mind. What ever you do it will be striking❤❤❤❤
Many thanks for your support 🥰
I am a strong believer of keeping the integrity of the original design of an historic structure. Through the hundreds of years, it appears in the case of the boudoir, there has been a great effort to maintain that. It would be a great contribution to that for you to honor that effort and consider returning the boudoir to its original size and form.
It would be terrific to keep the original footprint of the boudoir by putting the wall back up that divides the two spaces and replicating the paneling on it. It would seem there would have originally been some source of heat in the boudoir, so a small faux fireplace, topped by a mirror, or feminine parlor stove could be placed on that paneled wall which could be flanked with wall sconces for the primary light source you wanted to add. The replicated panels might even be designed as a hidden pass-through for passing snacks or wine from the kitchen to the boudoir, something an upset lady could use while in her upset room.
The small window, and the above panel that seems to divide the two spaces would make it difficult to make the two spaces look cohesive. It would always appear the extension was unplanned and an afterthought.
The area planned for an extension could revert back to its original, wine-related purpose. The beautiful wood from the attic could still be used for the flooring in that area in the width that it is now as to work well with the rustic feel of the stone. The window wall could stay stone (happy wife, happy life), new lighting as you had planned, and even continue the stone on the other walls to include removing all the existing plaster which would be very much in keeping with the wine theme. The purpose of the room would be to store wine. When entering from the kitchen, the area on the right could have a glass panel with a glass door (like on a shower) where it would be a walk-in wine cooler with the remaining area for storage of room-temperature wine.
Thank you for the very nice introduction and explanation of the boudoir project. I'm sure whatever you do will be beautiful.
Many thanks for all of these interesting ideas ! I agree that the two half-rooms may look disconnect. I am still thinking a bit about it.
If its going to be one room i would panel it the same as the other side ..its a beautiful room
Love your tours and all the info you are giving us!
Thank you ❤️
I am excited to see all of the repairs and both of you adding your personal choices.
Super cool you like it, stay tuned, there is more to come!
Small rooms, especially bedrooms can be charming. I think that often the huge bedrooms in many chateaux are cold and lack intimicy despite people expecting them from a chateau.
Fair point ! It reminds me I should do some more videos presenting all my bedrooms.
thank you for brief explanations. enjoyable
Welcome 😉
Nice to find your channel! Wonderful to have a French Chateau renovated by a Frenchman! Love it!
Many thanks 🥰
Your attic keeps giving gifts you need - how cool is that. I like the fact that you can use those boards for the floor particularly. I love my boudoir - it's cozy and has everything I need at my fingertips.
Cool you also have a boudoir !! That's great. On my side, not fully decided on what I will put in exactly
We always enjoy your videos. Very thoughtful and careful restoration. Yes, please do not leave stones exposed. Thank you for taking the time and effort to post these updates. Much appreciated!
Thank you for your kind comment 🙂 I will keep uploading new video 🤩
I just discovered your channel! I am so happy I discovered you, I have been watching other chateau channels and longing for chateaus also being renovated and lived in by French people. I am of Spanish descent mostly I have some French heritage from way back down line to the different French houses but it is so long ago I can't claim that I am now French lol. I do however feel a kinship with the French people and of course the similar culture as the Spanish. I feel pride in watching French people renovate and restore what is their heritage for future generations of people. The history you have shared regarding the boudoir we would have never have known in the U.S. it is considered just a bedroom. I like the idea of the sulking room/ crying room. I can imagine a woman in her silks dashing to that room with her skirts rustling, having had quite enough, sinking into a luxurious chaise/ or chair in front of a little table ordering some hot chocolate served in Limoges serving ware staring out that window. I can't wait to watch you transform the Chateau. I love the idea of covering up that window area it will bounce light around a darker area, it will be authentic and cohesive to the boudoir. I am loving your taste and idea for the room keeping it an authentic little jewelbox. I agree, I think if you can not "plaster" over the stone then just use the sheet rock. It will look amazing. Again so glad I found you guys, I subbed and liked and pressed the alert for your videos. :D
Many thanks for this very detailed comment. I am super happy you like it so much !! 😉 I enjoy a lot sharing all of my work and also the proper history of the chateau !!
And the cave must be the Mens winging room, or should be. Ha ha. Thanks for sharing, best wishes from Australia
Welcome ! Glad you like it
I think you are right,. Keeping the stone would keep the separate two rooms effect but you want to make it look like one room. Best wishes.
Thanks for your input ! Looking forward to have this part done ☺️
My house, built by an architect from the 'Batiments de France' in the 19th century has panelling taken from a nearby manor house and it dates from the 18th century. In my kitchen they incorporated the frontage of a 220 cm wardrobe and made it into a cupboard.
Thanks for sharing 🙂 I am sure it's looking super nice
@ C'etait une belle maison a l'epoque mais dans les années 60 ils ont cassés les carreaux decorés au sol (j'en ai trouvé plusieurs enterrés dans le jardin) et ils ont posé du marble couleur nicotine ! Ils ont aussi rajouté une aile, aussi sol de marbre et crée des salles de bains dans le meme marbre horrible. La piece que je suis en train de refaire etait tapissé de gros vinyl aux murs sur du platre brut! La maison etait vide pendant 20 ans donc il y a beaucoup de degats. Elle etait entierement couvert de vignes aussi et il y a des traces partout. Il me faudras dix ans pour tout faire et le comble c'est que je la loue ! J'adore sauver des choses et restaurér, je suis une benediction pour les proprios ! xo
This is going to be one of the nicest rooms of the château!
Yes !!! Most probably!!!
I also see a room to have tea s room to read, a room only to be use for peaceful moments, not anger to this room only relax. Color a pastel color green pink but very very pale pastel.
I agree with your color choice ❣️ I said the same thing 🥰
Beautiful Boudoir! I would drop the ceiling in the new section just above the opening and line the new walls with cushioning and cover in fabric to make a wonderful sumptuous curtained alcove with the little window for a daybed. Love the chandelier ~ I have one in my dining room that uses only real candles ~ no problem ~ you can get long handled church lighting poles with wicks and snuffers for candes online to easily use! The glowing chandelier just makes the room very very warm whilst lit! Thank You Again for the Tour and Update!
Thank you for these wonderful ideas ! Will definitely take some !!
That's interesting about the building original floor plan (also that ideas could change if it took twenty years to build) or historical owners being a father and son regarding the Boudoir. It's unusual, I think, that the room would be situated next to the kitchen with the cooking smells possibly being offensive to the lady of the house, especially in a Pout.
In America the board is known as Sheetrock …love the room and your plans for it.
Thanks for the precision!!
Bouder in English can also mean to pout or to sulk; so the Pouting or Sulking Room.
Agree !!
The boards for covering walls In American it is called Sheetrock. ❤
Many thanks 🥰
If you find you don’t hv enough light or prefer to use a central light more easily than lighting candles and the associated hanging issues and wax issues, you can always get the chandelier wired. If you do want to light candles regularly there may be a chain that could be attached for ease of lowering it.
Yes, I am hesitating to finally wire it actually, but I would need to dig a cable into the ceiling now... 😁
Yes, I'd panel all the boudoir. You're doing a great job. Can't wait to see the chandelier up. You can have it wired for electricity. I'd add a few hanging crystals. So beautiful! Can't wait to see it finished and furnished! Where does the other door go to???
Many thanks 🥰
The other door goes to the medieval kitchen 😉
Boudoir, could be three things. One the lady is so so upset and she goes straight to the wine area get lots of bottles and get very very drunk, two got and get a really the most expensive wine bottle came upstairs and enjoy it to forget about being upset and really change her mood, three she just got there and close the door and not let any one to came so she will have a time for herself.
😂👍
Should look the same on both sides
Magnifique boudoir,très lumineux,oui moi aussi je préfère la petite fenêtre plâtrée blanc,le chandelier
est beau,avec de vraies bougies c’est un peu risqué?je me trompe peut-être 🤷🏻♀️en tt cas ,c tjour passionant de suivre
chaque etape!biz a vous de l’île maurice!👋😘🌻🌻🌻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Merci beaucoup !!! Oui on avance bien dans les travaux, ça bosse dur 😁
What you are calling plaster plate is called plaster board. In the states they have fake candles (that look real) with led lights in them that can be turned on with a remote. Not sure if that is what you are looking for, but it might work. Not electric. Batteries.
That's would be great ! Would you have a link for the candles ?
I agree with your GF leave the brick! If it had a flat wall and a bigger window and not have the alcove I would cover it up but it has character with the rounded brick. I also would have left the staircase because it is unusual.
Thanks and agree for the rounded bricks. But don't you think it would lack uniformity?
Bouder is "Sulking" in english
From what I read in 17th and 18th century castle life, the boudoir was more a cabinet de toilette, next to the reception room, which is was used for convenience. Today, it would be the powder room. If you decide to put a loo, you can in the darker corner with the small dormer window, closed from the main well lit side with "coiffeuse" and vanity
Yes the boudoir was also used as a cabinet de toilette ! I still have have some open questions regarding the original function of each room of the my chateau, but step by step, I do solve every mystery!
I agree, exposed rock would not work in a formally finished room. Sheetrock or drywall with construction adhesive. Plan on a lot of 3 am projects when the baby comes!
Thanks for the input, I agree ! The wife wanted to expose the rocks, but I disagreed heavily 😁
Hi I'm new to your chateau, you are doing a lovely job. I have been looking at a lot of chateau vlogs. Where you said it sounds empty where you knock on the wall. That place may have been a doorway. If it has a vertical piece of wood or thick slab over the top. (It may have been plastered over. That is a good indication that it was a doorway, or maybe a window. I'm looking forward to seeing more of you vlogs. Oh we call the paste, plaster. PPS: Chateau Diaries has paneling, Stephanie's cousin is doing a fabulous job renovating. On the Petherick's and Doing it Ourselves, they have transformed their lights to electric. They all did a fabulous job. If I remember right Chateau Ferté did the same. Hope this helps.
Many thanks for all of these insights and great info !!! 😉
Lovely place u have and the countryside is gorgeous.. What kind of motorcycle 🏍️ was that in the background..
It's an MV Agusta 😉
Very nice.. and since u were kind enough to respond to a my question, I'm going to subscribe.. take care my friend...
Is there a “ temper room” for men? Haha. I’m wondering about the paneling which is between room and additional space. The thinness seems a bit awkward. Is it possible to give it some girth. Yes I think stone needs covering. As always, beautiful chateau.
Nah, they got secret passages for getting to their mistresses. 🤣
Many thanks 🥰
For sure !!!
Well, us guys have a Fumoir, a bit of an 18th century man-cave for drinks and smoke!
I agree with you, cover the stone with wooden panels. It will add a level of uniformity which will be pleasing to the eye.
Thanks for your comment, will show it to my wife 😁
I love the stone in this room but I agree that it probably needs to be covered to blend with the other walls. The hollow sound could mean there are shelves on that wall. I do like the idea of using those big planks for the floor if you have enough. As for the chandelier you can buy realistic looking candle sticks that flicker. Since the ceiling is so high you probably wouldn't be able to tell from looking at the chandelier from the floor plus it would be a lot safer to use instead of candles. God Bless Kathy 🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing ☺️
@ If you watch the most recent vlog on the Chanel for Chateau de la Ferte they actually show a chandelier with 2 different types of candle effect light bulbs. They decide to use clear flickering ones that do give a warm candle glow rather than a white colder kind of light. They also renovate ceilings and wall panels in their chateau which are similar to yours. It would be worth you watching some of their vlogs as it may help you a lot. X

I love the stone and NOT I could no cover it, they are talking we standing strong and beautiful. I will love to see the room till is done, clean, empty, nothing in the room only open space to make the decision DO I REALLY want to cover the wall with panel????
You are sharing so many good ideas, thank you for that 🥰🥰
Le crépi en anglais s'appelle "Stucco"
Merci !!
Pour la plâtre, tu pourrais le laisser et copier les boisseries, comme ça la chambre est plus homogène... Pour la couleur, il faudra voir quels sont les couleurs de l'époque 1680-1720. Mois je penses en bleu et blanc ... Ils avient des longues pièces de bois avec le feu à la fin ...
Oui c'était aussi une idée de copier les boiseries. Peut-être dans un second temps
I wonder if you could source some battery operated candles? with remote control would be perfect. I have some battery tealights but of course they are way too small. i think the boudoir plans sound awfully romantic. Id love to have a special room but i wouldn't cry in mine if it was in a chateau :)
The remote control battery candles is an incredible idea !! I love it so much, I will need to do some research.
Ahahahaha not to go against your girlfriend but yes, the progression of periods sounds interesting but, the rooms are exquisite as they are now!
Hahaha 😄 I love all my salons yes !
The cement wall you don't want to plaster thinking it will fall off in time. Use sheets of drywall that would salve your issue. You can get 4x10 foot sets
I am not used to do that. Are you using that often?
@ there are CZcams videos that will teach you how to install drywall or sheetrock. You are doing an amazing job.👍🏻
Shouldn't there be a rope and pully system to lower the candelabra?
No there isn't any, but the chandelier can be removed easily with a long stick thanks to the shape of the hanging hook ! 😉
@ thanks from 🇨🇦. Enjoyed your video.
What a gorgeous beautiful light filled room. I would go with Louis XV furniture for the boudoir. I noticed the rounded mouldings in the wall panels which would go very well with the curves of Louis XV chairs. Also, as I’m sure you know, there are still French manufacturers that produce very high quality reproductions in the Louis XV and Louis XVI styles. Antique originals can be hard to find and very expensive. I would go with light colours if possible and try to determine what the original colour scheme may have been?
Very good ideas, thanks !! But the room is small, what kind of furniture would you put in ? Two chairs ?
Thank you! Yes, the room is indeed rather small, but beautiful. Modern chairs and sofas are far too bulky, but a Louis XV sofa and two Louis XV arm chairs might fit in the space without overwhelming the room. They would have to be arranged carefully. You might even have space for a nice coffee table in the same style. Otherwise, I would keep the room as simple as possible in order to be elegant. It would be lovely as a relaxing room for reading and enjoying a coffee perhaps? 😊
@@1921modelT Great ideas, thanks !
I have some beautiful real wax gently flickering LED battery operated taper candles operated by remote. Nobody knows they are not real until they are within a few inches of them. They are programed to switch off after 2 hours, or 5 hours in the settings, or switch off by remote anytime. The brand is GenSwin.
Many thanks for this great piece of information!!
Why would the wife want such a small living room for herself!??
I suppose because it's cosy to receive some friends for tea (it's also close to the kitchen, so the servants could easily bring some food...)
