- Well, where do we start this week!
With the arrival of Danielle’s parents Ian and Elaine and family friend Jenny, there were plenty of hands ready to work at the chateau! The team worked so hard over the easter bank holiday week-end and completed many more hours of graft throughout the working week! Loads of snagging progress and huge transformations have been completed in the gite.
Not only that but we also had the pleasure of being joined by French student Alban who was with us for the week. Not only did he make great progress in his English speaking but also learned many new renovation skills along the way. It was an absolute pleasure to have you Alban and you and your family are welcome back anytime!
That brings me to Thursday afternoon when we had the arrival of Anders and his van FULL of chandeliers. When I say full, I mean FULL! You couldn’t have squeezed anything else in the van. Since arriving, Anders, Danielle and Rachel have been busy unboxing, cleaning and polishing every single crystal and hanging them onto the chandelier frames.
As well as the beautiful dining room piece you will see in this weeks video, we also have many many more to be hung around the chateau. Including areas such as the hallways, staircase and Grand Salon. We’re delighted to have Anders here and we will work hard to ensure all of the chandeliers are cleaned, polished and hung in time for his return back to Denmark.
Thanks again for your continued support on our videos. It would really help us if you could continue to like and share our video on other chateau pages to continue growing the channel!
If you think that Chateau de Bruges is somewhere you would like to visit, celebrate something special or just have a relaxing break, then please reach out via our website or email. We would love to hear from you!

It's lovely to see Anders again. He is such a special, and exceptionally generous person. I never knew that style of convex mirror was called a butler's mirror. I'm very happy to see Anders has made a robust recovery from the stroke. No doubt, he's brought many more stunning pieces for the chateau, which will be enjoyed for centuries to come!
Couldn't agree more Lora!! I am sure you will absolutely love the other pieces we will show you in our next vlogs! 🥰
It's such a luxury to see a true artist at work. Thank you for commissioning work from Anders. He deserves to have his work honoured and appreciated.
Couldn't agree more! 🥰❤️
Anders is a treasure! What an artist! So glad he has recovered and is back to being his wonderful and generous self! The chandelier is stunning!
I’m glad you appreciated Anders’ work as much as we do! Glad you like the chandelier too! 🥰❤️
Glad to hear that Anders is recovering from his stroke. That is quite the rehabilitation project he undertook! But wow! What a beautiful chandelier! I love the larger ball crystals, particularly the cluster that was on the bottom.
Couldn’t have said it better myself Catherine! Glad you liked it and enjoyed seeing Anders again! 🥰
Absolutely stunning chandelier. Anders is a pure talent!
Spot on Eva! Glad you like the chandelier!
Anders made an amazingly beautiful chandelier! He is a very talented man. I look forward to seeing more of him and his work.
You will enjoy our next few vlogs then Bonnie! 🥰 he really is a special man!

Really glad you enjoyed seeing Anders Sandy! He’s doing well with his recovery and we’re thoroughly enjoying his company! 🥰❤️
Well said Sandy. Guys, you are SO lucky and privileged to have Anders respond to you. He is an amazing Artist. We are so in love with his luminaries, he has the right to name his creations. Ask him what he calls each one. Can't wait to find out.
Gasp! It’s absolutely gorgeous! He is so talented and the attention to detail is amazing. Well done.❤
Absolutely spot on Allyson! Glad you like it! 🥰

It really is, thanks Virginia! 🥰
The dining room chandelier is absolutely gorgeous! I’m so looking forward to the one for the spiral staircase. ❤️
Thanks Cheryl! You’ll get to see that very soon! 🥰
Anders is a treasure! Such a wonderful friend and helper!!!! The chandeliers are simply breathtaking! And he is a kind and gentle man! Of course, nothing is more precious in this world than your grandparents! They are adorable and make me miss mine so very very much. Cherish these days together as a family. And do tell that darling man Anders what a treasure he is. The dinning room chandelier is magnificent, love the black shades on another.
Such hard hard work polishing and assembling each chandelier! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Anders is a true artist! These have added so much to your home and business! BRAVO!
Soo glad you enjoyed the video and everything that happened within it! Thankyou for a lovely comment! All the best! 🥰❤️
Amazing work from everyone and the chandelier is a piece of gorgeous art.

The most beautiful chandelier I’ve ever seen. Enjoy it for many years.
High praise indeed! Thankyou Joane!
Anders is a genius, what a beautiful chandelier. Glad he is now well.xx
So are we Dawn! 🥰❤️
So hard to hear anders was recovering from a stroke. But am thankful to see his recovery!
Hes recovering well Michele! :D
Having had them near to us in my youth I always tear up when I see these gentle giants, the working horses of Flanders.
They loved working, glad it gave you some flashbacks to good memories. 🥰
Donkeys and horses and dogs!! What is better than that! Is that a shire horse??? Such a big one. How fortunate to have friends and family come to help you!! I can think of nothing more fun than working on a chateau with friends, gathering together for dinner (or cooking it).
Such special times in France are a treasure.
I have spent many a happy time eating, cooking, and food shopping on the Brittany coast at my BFF house and gardens. Although I was never put to work, I’d have been more than happy too. There stone farmhouse was 300+ years old, with its own Longhouse & Gite.
The bread, the cheese, the seafood, the villages, the markets, the day hikes! Oh my………
Thankyou Sushi! Glad you enjoyed the video and gave you some nice flashbacks to happy memories! 🥰❤️
A family working together is such a beautiful thing to see ❤
Happy to see Anders again with more beautiful baubles!
A lot more to come Judy! 🥰
I loved seeing the donkeys and horses, what a fantastic thing to do. The chandelier looks spectacular in the dining room.
Thankyou so much LP! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🥰❤️
Anders is truly an artiste! What he does with chandeliers is a beauty to behold! I'm glad he is recuperating from the stroke and that his hands are regaining their agility. Look forward to viewing more of what he brought for your chateau.
Tony's "background" music is so inviting!
Not surprising that you are drawing all these gifted people around you and your chateau since your family dynamic is inviting, warm and friendly and a haven for all.
Thats so kind of you, thankyou so much for your support!
The chandelier is a beautiful example of Anders exquisite talent. What a wonderful addition to the Chateau de Bruges. It’s obvious Anders is greatly admired by the family…what a treasure. So glad he seems to be making a good recovery. Love your channel. Watching from PA, USA.
Amazing. Anders is a chandelier-hero 🥰
Absolutely spot on Leneanker!
Magnificent chandelier.
Thankyou Sandra! 🥰
A feast for the eyes! So wondrous and beautiful!
Thankyou Harper! 🥰❤️
Anders is a gem of a gentleman! To have is excellent eye for detail in lighting up a room. I’m glad to hear that he is doing well and back creating what is his passion. The work at the chateau is coming along and the Video’s are a joy to watch. Blessings to all !
Couldn't agree more Lorrie! Glad you enjoyed seeing him again and thrilled you loved his wonderful work! 🥰
At first, I wasn't enamored with the chandelier but then it grew on me. Good job.
Glad you liked it by the end Rjspain! 🥰
Glad Anders is recovering nicely. The chandelier is spectacular. Andres is a true artist 😍😘
He really is Rosemarie! Glad you liked it! 🥰
I have to say, I think that’s the prettiest one I have ever seen! I will never have some thing on earth that beautiful in my home, but my heavenly home they have one just like yours🥰
Wow, thank you very much Rbmc! Anders has done a super job and we absolutely love it! 🥰
We obviously need Anders in all our lives!!! What a harbinger of beauty. First time viewer and subscriber. Cheers from Toronto
Absolutely Susan! Glad you enjoyed the video! And thanks for subscribing! 🥰
Absolutely stunning vlog. You've got the ability to rent a crowd to work SO hard and really progress at such a rate and then you have the ability to draw great artisans and so skilled in their profession. Can't wait for the next one to learn more about crystals. I will certainly look with new eyes to crystals in future. What an artists. We are thankful he recovered so well. Best wishes. to you all.
Thankyou so much! Glad you enjoyed the video and appreciated Anders’ hard work as much as we do! 🥰
I watch numerous Chateau Channels and sometimes in the restoration, something so beautiful moves me to tears. This stunning, beautiful Chandelier is one such item. Absolutely Gorgeous!
Aww wow that’s high praise indeed! Thankyou Mamabear! 🥰
Its amazing that a chandelier can add so much ambience to a room. I loved the clusters of grapes and the draping of the top strings of crystals. I had no idea of how much work there is in arranging a chandelier.
Neither had we Brownetesa! Glad you appreciate Anders’ work as much as we do! 🥰
The chandelier is exquisite.
Thank you for telling us Anders’ story.
Excited to see what else he has brought.
Graham never disappoints with his dad jokes.
Exterior work on gite/chateau looking great.
Maine USA
Glad you enjoyed it Denise! Lots more exciting chandeliers to show you over the next few videos! 🥰
I love the dad joke!
Haha glad you enjoyed it Jan! 😂
So beautiful! I love the grape cluster on this chandelier. Anders is a master of crystals. Sad to hear about his stroke but glad he is healing. My own father never recovered or survived his strokes about 5 years ago now. Trying to get caught up on all your videos.
Sorry to hear about your father Swenger. Glad you are enjoying the videos :)
WOW.... What an absolutely beautiful chandelier
Such a talented man xxx
A very talented man indeed! Glad you liked it! 🥰

Haha glad you love it as much as we did Gorgina! Anders did absolute wonders with his creation! 🥰❤️
I was wrong, I guessed the special guest was Selmar. Delighted however, to see this man and your chandelier is stunning.
Aww thankyou Debra! Glad you enjoyed seeing Anders and liked the chandelier! 🥰
@Chateau de Bruges the chandalier is amazing and Anders is a master in building them! So happy that Anders has recovered so well from his stroke! As a fellow Dane, I love the daisy pendants, that are a salute to our Queen affectionately known as Daisy. Today, April 16th, is her 83rd Birthday. 🇩🇰
Wow! Well happy birthday to your Queen Daisy! I will have to mention this to Anders in the morning! Glad you liked the chandelier Irene and glad you appreciated Anders’ work as much as we do! 🥰
That is the most beautiful chandelier that I have ever seen. It’s so classy, not overdone or over the top. Congratulations on this addition to your chateau.
Thank you soo much Hilda! High praise indeed! Anders really did a lovely job! Glad you liked it! 🥰
Wow, what a chandelier! Wishing Anders good health and a safe journey home so that he can continue his amazing work.
Great to see your family and friends to help as well. Many hands make light work!
Thank you so much Sonia! Glad to hear you love the chandelier as much as we do! 🥰
What an awesome vlog. All of the family pitching in got so much done. Great work, everyone.
Anders, I am so sorry to hear of your stroke. It looks like you made a wonderful recovery, thank God. Your talent and skill is incredible. I am so happy that Jake reached out to you. You have obviously responded tremendously with that chandelier. It is absolutely stunning. I remember you, Anders, from Chateau Diaries. I was in awe then, and I still am. Anders, you have swept me off my feet. I send you much love and best wishes for improved health. One of my brothers suffered a stroke about 10 years ago. His only deficit he was left with is dysphasia. His speech had gotten much better over time with extensive therapy and he continues to work as an executive accountant in a major company. You, like my brother, are an inspiration, Anders. Jake, thank you for bringing Anders in. It is so good to see him again.❤
So sorry to hear about your brother Peter! I am glad he seems to be on the mend though! Anders truly is one of a kind! He has been such a pleasure to have at the chateau! There will be plenty more of Anders in the coming weeks as we introduce you to the new chandeliers!
I am thrilled you appreciate his work as much as we do! 🥰❤️
Thank you , Peter.
All the best for your brother!
A
Spot on, get the family down, get em to work, no free baguettes or fromage here 😂 your chandelier is stunning. Wow!
Haha the family know how it is when they come to work here! 😂 glad you love the chandelier as much as we do! 🥰
Wonderful having friends and family especially if they are willing to help. Anders is very kind being a delivery guy and installer. Wow. Stunning. I love the bit of modernization. What workmanship, and glass or ideas from many countries.
I think it ha the perfect blend of modern and traditional! Glad you like it and appreciate Anders’ work as much as we do! 🥰
I love your videos, quality of work and passion. Would love to visit the chateau one day.🇺🇸
Thanks Eve! Glad you enjoy the videos. We hope you can visit one day too! :D
Wow!!! So glad to see Anders has made a good recovery and is well on the way to full health. Anders is a master and an artist at what he does, the chandelier looks stunning ans also the gold wall table. What a generous and lovely man he is. X

What a blessing
🥰❤️
Beautiful chandelier!!
Thankyou Beverly! 🥰
Oh wow, gorgeous countryside, city folk don’t know what they are missing. And the people are usually awesome, such as those who put in hard work helping you on your property.
Shooting mulch in the back of the vehicle is very clever.🤣
The chandeliers incredible, a work of art.
Sorry Grant, already heard that joke but you rocked it.
Haha glad you enjoyed soo many aspects of the video Lucy! 🥰
This is my 1st time watching your vlog. You popped up and I decided to check it out because I love most chateau vlogs. Chateau La Lande is a favorite but I did love your video and it was wonderful to see Anders doing well. Love love love your chandelier and bedroom gilded stand, can’t wait to see the other unboxing’s. I’ll keep watching and thanks for a lovely video.
So glad you enjoyed the video Rose! Thankyou so much for taking the time to leave a comment! We hope you continue our vlogs! We have a few more with Anders in to watch! 🥰

What a lot of progress! I just love the fact that your chandelier is both traditional and modern. The strings of crystal that branch out like a network --- really impressive design.
Thankyou Lisa! It perfectly ties in with what we’re trying to achieve throughout the chateau so it’s absolutely perfect!

The Chandalier is outstanding. 🌞👍🏻
Thankyou ShipCreek! 🥰
It was great fun, seeing everybody working together! I’m glad Ander’s was able to come back to install his beautiful chandelier. Wonderful video! Love from Vermont
Thankyou so much Rebekah! Glad you liked the chandelier! 🥰
Honestly, I don't think I would've chosen white for the shutters. I think the softness of a pale yellow would be better and match the stone.
Thanks for sharing your opinion Barbara. Unfortunately in France, you have to ask for permission to change the colours of your shutters! Plus, we quite like the white as it matches the chateau too 🥰
Stunning lighting! It takes everything to a whole new level.
🥰❤️
I have been watching all of your videos for the last couple weeks since I found your channel. It's such a joy to watch y'all work together. Your videos are done so well, and the added humor is a hoot. This latest vlog has me giddy to see all the other chandeliers. I hope your channel continues to grow by leaps and bounds. ❤ from east Tennessee.
Aww thankyou so much Lori! Really glad to hear you’re enjoying watching our videos! I hope you enjoy our future videos as much as you’ve enjoyed our recent ones! 🥰❤️

Anders is really one of a kind! A very talented man! 🥰
an amazing chandelier, how wonderful to have hand made one of kind chandeliers!
Exactly! No one else will have the same! It’s magnificent! 🥰
Ander's is an extremely kind man and stunning taste. I have seen his gifts before on another channel - Chateau Dairies. Can we know about Ander's? Does he collect? He makes Taira's? I think he does. Wish we had a full episode on him. Are you single Ander's?! You are extraordinary and kind!
He really is a wonderful man with impeccable chandelier making skills. Not only that, but he’s been an absolute pleasure to have at the chateau with us. Yes, he drove all the way from Denmark without stopping! Very determined indeed! 🥰❤️
How stunning is that! Just a beautiful sight to behold wow!
Thankyou so much creative cottage! Really glad you like it! 🥰❤️

Glad you appreciate his work as much as we do Metro! 🥰
well done with the bling and sparkle thing guys , it looks lovely ;) x grts Yves
😂😂😂 Thank you! Cheers! 🥰
Great work! I really hope the metal, window frames and such, get coated with a rust preventative before the final paint is applied
The exterior metal paint will have a rust protection in it so they will be fairly well protected from the weather. 🥰
Fabulous!
🥰❤️
WOW! That chandelier really brings the room together. What a spectacular piece. Well done Anders!
Also wow on the work by the family. It really struck me how much work can get done when you have a group of people (and preferably family - whom you don’t have to pay, haha 😉) chipping in.
Haha appreciate it Scissors and Smiles! Glad you like the chandelier and appreciate all of the work going in! 🥰
