In a house like this, could you ever have too much gold. Go for the “wow” every time. You haven’t been wrong yet.
Thank you! 😊
I wouldn’t for with gold on the entire frame. Just the accent in the frame is perfect
Carole, it is a wow factor for sure when one comes up the stairs....fabulous!! Can't wait to see what else you do. Making a scrap book of the wallpapers is brilliant!!
Thank you Jane 😊
Some of Versailles’ interior rooms have a ton of gold paint and a cream wall/backdrop color and they look fabulous. I can see that look working in your chateau. You already started that theme in the salon and I can’t wait to see this area finished.
I totally agree!
I think that gold should be left to highlight and not cover. The little pieces of trim on the panels were perfect. But all that gold surrounding the door gives a heavy and overwhelming appearance. There can be too much of a good thing, and I’m afraid the door surround is it. 😢
Your home, your choice however my personal opinion is you have over done it with the gold. The trim on the doors would have been sufficient.
While I like the idea of a gold as an emphasis, I feel that the solid golden doorframe, as opposed to a single part of the mouldings would be the sort of opulence that'd belong in the palace of Versailles, rather than a regular chateau.
That said, if you are fully committing to the gold, I'd advise heavy drapes and lamps that give dusk or candle light vibes in luminosity - gold shimmers the best in half (flickering) light, rather than a bright sunlit room.
I THINK Carole is keeping with gold trims on doors etc because it looks elegant in that beautiful Chateau.❤ And gold enhances the decor. She knows her decorating very well. Im excited to see the door mouldings etc. As Carole and Adrian will do excellent lovely work on those doors.🎉
More gold 😂 Thank you 😊
I agree it’s too much gold for my taste as well, in my humble opinion I doubt there would have originally been much gold if any in the original chateau, it’s a stately house not a palace, but it’s you house and you have to live in it and look at it 😊 personally I would have loved to see an ivy design around that doorway.
Here is a thought; that first piece you showed, that pink flower with the green background. You could take that pattern and use it for a needlepoint pillow or chair cushions. That is so classic.
I like that idea.
I think the gold is over the top but it's your chateau 😊
Thinking the solid gold has shifted it to look more Art Deco than LouisXV-esq of the ballroom ... with the sensual curve of the balestrading - black and gold - it's quite delicate and a bit more Napolean III ... I just think it's too heavy ... definatelly add the mouldings, but Fritz, the all gold doorway architrave
Love, love, love all the gold. I can take a great deal of gold. You are decorating a chateau... wow it up good! Cant wait to see all the trim done.
Me too!!
Carole for heavens sakes put that pot of gold paint away!!!! Loved what you did in the salon, dining room and hallway downstairs, however, that door frame looks naff painted gold (particularly surrounding the palladian window). Also, the ceiling rose in the upstairs hallway only needed a few gentle brushes of gold to accent it, but now it looks gaudy and is competing with the chandelier, which is a different hue of gold. It would be so much more tasteful painted white again. I think all those fumes are starting to affect you.😅 A little goes a long way! There. I said it. You wondered if anyone would post about the gold. It was an invitation right? 😂
Personally I like how you’ve got it now, with just the gold on the trim of the doors. Not a solid block but hay it’s all yours 😊
Totally agree as it looks more copper brown to me.
I don’t love the solid border around the door either. It’s too much. But it’s not my home.
At times the gold reads on the blog as a blah brown.
It's gorgeous, of course, but the problem with going with so much gold on a portal to a halfway is that you'll need some sort of consistency in the entire hallway. And the bedrooms will need to be that much more...
So more gold required 😂
You wonderful people!!! I soooooo much hope things will work out somehow, and you can keep the chateau and bring its restauration "up to end", because you're doing such an outstanding job!
stunning transformation, as usual.
my personal thought would have been to paint the whole staircase, hallway, and doors white. Start with the door & window trim in gold. Only then consider painting the whole door frame gold - I believe it might be overkill - but that is an opinion and everyone has one of those
Yes each to their own 😃
Too much gold….
I like gold highlights, not solid gold. It's not my house, I know.
Thank you for the video. ❤🎉❤😊
You’re welcome 😊
Chateaus ARE FULL of gold! Love it.
Thank you! 😊
You have converted me to gold Carole after seeing the Salon finished. I’m looking forward to seeing the doorway finished with the wall painted to make it pop! I trust your judgment, and remember it’s your home and your choice!
Thank you! 😊
Fun idea To make a scrapbook of different decorative areas of the house!
Carole, I love the gold around the door, I'm undecided if the gold would be just too much on the molding around the ceiling. I think you can have just too much gold. I love the railing on the stairs with the touches of gold on the spindles. I would think having the gold on the molding around the ceiling would take away from the fabulous door and the staircase spindles making them not stand out as much, your eye would go to the ceiling instead.
It’s still in the undecided camp!
I think a photo album with before and after photos of each room and a sample of paper for the rooms that had it 😊 it be lovely to sit and look at 😊
Very happy to see you are so close zu 100000 subsribers!
Love your channel and admire you and your hard and diligent work with it's beautiful results. Looking forward to your next video! Love and greetings from Germany, Christiane
So close & Thank you so much!
Thx guys for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.
Our pleasure!
Door with the gold looks amazing ..great entrance to the formal bedrooms and sitting rooms ( family and guest room and lady of the house sitting room)
We agree!
I absolutely love it...i wasnt sure at first when you said it , but LOVE IT !!! Can't wait to see the finished project right there. And if you need a clean uo girl or lawn girl from Texas ...ill be there in a flash ... It would be a DREAM come true to see it in person !!! ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊. See you tomorrow 😂
❤❤❤happiness is sunday with you all
Thank you 🥰
Less is more x
Not always ! 😀
Adrian heard me shouting “don’t do it!” Too much gold just doesn’t work.
You have done an amazing job bringing life into an old dusty chateau. I love the opulent Grand Salon, and now the hallway ~ and the amazing stair railing!
Saving some of the old wallpaper is a great idea. Thank you for taking us along.
Our pleasure!
Oh please more gold, there is enough gold in the Chateau already.
The gold emphasis on that door is gorgeous, Carole. You're so talented. ❤
Thank you so much!
I agree. I would say that’s just enough. I’m not too sure about all the good on the ceiling mouldings. That might be too much. 🇨🇦
Sorry. Typo. Not too sure about all the gold Carole in the ceiling moulding.
Okay. I’ve changed my mind. The amount of gold on the outside of the trim is a little much.
Way too much gold around that door... really. We loose the main picture of the beauty of this door. It's disturbing and the chic aspect of the architecture is lost. But it's my point of view, sometimes less is better.
A framed wallpaper piece in the room it came from would be a nice document to display .
It would!
Such a lot of extra work putting gold everywhere…..I’d let the architecture speak for itself. If you are looking to sell the chateau all the gold maybe off putting. Not everyone these days goes for all that glitz! Love watching!
I love your idea of the wallpapers srap book. You might consider a photo of each refurbished room with their before wallpaper.
Everyone to their own ideas, but I think the gold goes from “wow” to “eek”. We need an intervention to get Carole to step away from the gold paint! Love you Carole but ………
Hopefully Kate your change your mind when it’s finished! 😀
I disagree, 😬. If you can’t have lots of gold in a chateau, where can you?❤️
Fort Knox
@@JaniceStPeter I never thought of that. 😂😂
@I edited out the ugh, sorry, felt I had been a bit harsh. ☹️
Of course she has, it's Carole! Your video last week was my own first walk through of the Chateau - I think I'm even more in love with it than I was before! Can't wait to see what beauty awaits 🤩
Enjoy 😊
Oh my. I LOVE THIS CHATEAU❤🎉 CASTLE. ITS 👏 got great bones inside other than all the pre painting and some repairs. It's a MARVELOUS BIG HOME.🎉❤
Oh Lord, Carole is on a gold tear! When Carole says “ wouldn’t it be wonderful” in that gleeful speculative tone- it is time for Adrian to run for his life! 😂❤️
Carole prefers her gold pots shaken, not stirred!
Still running 😂
Got the gold out again Carole and it's going to be wonderful I think's .we need to wait for the final reveal.A scrapbook of the wallpaper could be a good idea, take care and see you both next time 💕🌼🤗
Thanks so much 😊
Oh my gosh Carol what a beautiful statement piece. The door is coming up off the stairs. I mean, you’ve really outdone yourself on this one. It might say you’re looking pretty darn good there too lady life must be treating you well.
Thank you so much! 😊
Carole I think that would be amazing having all the gold as you said.
Absolutely love the golden arches. Stunning 😍. I’m so here for IT ALL!!! 😊
Yay! Thank you!
So close to 100K!! Love your channel!
So close! Thank you 😊
I think the gold should be used sparingly or it will start looking tacky.
I do agree
I guess each to their own! 😃
It is traditional to go mad on the gold. There is a vlogger called Hannah Ricketts. She has a vlog about Afternoon tea at the Ritz at Christmas time. At the 16.20 mark she shows the decorative details, and wow the amount of gold!😊❤
Hi Carole, Adrian & Beth, The work goes on and the staircase is getting done one step and one wall detail at a time. Carole, you have patience, Adrian, you take orders well, and Beth you make it all look good on the vlog. Team work makes the dream work. Mark& Scott
Yes! Thank you Mark & Scott 😊
Cant wait to see the end result of this hall, and I would put each of the saved paper in a frame, sorry Gold frame and put it in each room. That way it is safe for ever more. Hugs Dede xxx
That’s a gorgeous arched doorway. The gold colour is very pretty 🤎
Thank you 😊
I love the gold! It's a Chateau, it should be gold! Beautiful!
Thank you 😊
Hi Carole and Adrian, I love the gold, the hallway is going to be as beautiful as the rest of the renovations you have done. Have we ever been down that bedroom hall before? The scrapbook is a fantastic idea, people can see what types of paper and colors they used back in the day and whatever else you will put in there. Looking forward to watching the work continue. Hi Beth. Love from N.Y.
Thanks so much! 😊
I am loving that you went all in with the gold, Carole! Fantastically fabulous work!!! I can’t wait to see it against the wall when painted.
Thank you so much!
Carol - I am so impressed with your painting without tape. Love the dentist tools for removing paint. I use it for furniture redos.
The gold on the trim of the doors is just right...no more!
The golden arch needs detailing, something to define the different elevations of trim… you need another color to highlight them… dark brown patterns & trimming painted on top of the gold would look beautiful!
Carole that gold around the door frame is magnificent very grand and when you have friends and family over you would want them to feel like WOW truly is a chateau and yet it’s grand and also warm and inviting Carole your right on the money to bad we’re not neighbors I think we would drive Arden nuts we would be getting ideas from each other all the time with different decorating the rooms lol 😂 🥰
He’s already mad!! 😂
@ omg I figured as much lol 😂 I love watching you tow it’s great 🥰
One can never have too much GOLD!! I can see your vision , beautiful…
Love and respect from Canada
🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️
Wow, thank you
Carole, that looks so good. You are the "Queen of the Gold".
Thank you 😊
Yhe amount of work you continue to do on the place...your asking price should go up every month.😊
So true!
Carole has the Midas touch. patience and a steady hand.
She certainly does!
Or another idea is to paint the wall around the door in a very striking colour. Maybe a teal green like one of the colours in the dining room wallpaper.
When you were explaining that, I thought oh no! But seen it I think it’s gorgeous. I cannot believe you’ve done this whole thing with a tiny brush. But I don’t think I will like the gold on all the walls. Yes to the crown molding but I would put a beautiful wallpaper with gold in it.
I love the gold around the door frame it belongs at a Chateau ❤
It certainly does 😊
I think doing the door and the stair rails is enough to do in gold. Love the chateau banter I will miss that when you sell. Look forward to seeing the walls in the stairwell and upstairs hall painted.
That's the plan!
I love watching you on my Tablet (where I can thumbs up and comment) while at the same time on my big screen TV. Always look forward to your Vlogs❤❤❤
Wow, thank you!
Love the gold around the door!
I’m glad !
I like the gold door frame, I think once the walls are painted and there are pictures or light sconces it will be really pretty.
Thank you 😊
I LOVE the GOLD AROUND the arched Door!! I wish I had the open mindedness to even think of some of the things you consider doing. In my opinion, you have a flare for the elegant, but you don’t over-do it or make it garish. It’s just stunning , all you’ve done!

Here’s a link to some chinoiserie designs.
Thank you 😊
Love the gold. It’s most important to make sure a detail of this kind is balanced properly in the “room/area.” I feel you’ve accomplished that ❤
Yes! Thank you!
Love your channel guys! Keep up the hard work! The chateau looks beautiful already!❤🎉🙏
Thanks so much! 😊
@you are always welcome!❤
Love all you do! Fun to see the transformation you create❤😊
Thank you so much!
I think the scrapbook idea is wonderful. A tangible piece of history. Could you add your paint swatches and other ideas maybe? A bit like a sketchbook?
Love all the gold! The more gold the better 😊. Creeping closer to the big 100 thousand …. Soooo exciting 😊xx
So close!
Love the gold on the entire door frame! ❤
Thank you! 😊
Carol, I bet you could paint the panels in that door with a ‘chinoiserie ‘ design…you know, delicate branches, with some leaves or blossoms, and a few birds.
Time will tell!! 😜
I think the part of the door frame to do gold would be between the two lines you already did at the top... Kind of the center bit. Then it isn't quite as much? Just my thought...👍
Now that you have done it. I think it looks great with the trim entirely gold. Love it.
Thank you!
Oh Boy! It will look fabulous, as usual...cannot wait to see finished 😊👏
Thank you! 😊
Can’t wait for the walls to be painted or wallpapered so can see that gold door in its glory
Wow!! Looks great.
Thank you! 😊
Always fascinating ❤
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
I’m not normally a fan of gold color but it works for a chateau. It just fits in because it’s supposed to be over the top in a chateau. Great job!
Thank you 😊
The gold is very beautiful! I like the highlighted trim in the doors!
Thank you 😊
Yes, of course, Carole has it! Nothing but style comes out of her!
Totally agree ! Adrian x
Fantastic as usual Carol!
thank you!
What ever you do it will be beautiful, too much for me but it's your vision, it your choice, go for it!
Will do 😊
Wallpaper will look very nice on the wall with the gold door.
Yes it will
Doorway=STUNNING! Good job!
Thank you! 😊
I love the gold, which makes all the details of the moldings stand out ❤
Me too! 😊
Too much, it’s verging into tacky, but it has to be what you want not what I would do
The door is fabulous! If I know you, it will be a show stopper when completed.
I hope so! 😊
I love the look of the gold on the door trim. I'm not sold as yet about the door frame. This is likely because it is set against the unfinished walls and as Carole makes reference to the poorly mixed paint in the one section. As with Carole's other ideas through out the Chateau, once complete this will look as though it was built to look this way.
Thank you 😊
I think the door to the bedrooms will be marvellous once the wall around it is finished too!
Let’s hope so!
I really appreciate all the gilt gold work you've done!
Beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much!
You are so talented Carol and have great eye for colour. ❤
Oh thank you!
I just loved the door ❤!! Another great job and you are almost ar 1,000 views 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤ see you next Sunday 😊
So close!
I love the gold. Remember guys, she is not finished yet. I will hold out for the finish, but I already like it.
Very cool idea to save the wallpaper and make a scrapbook. You can use your favorite prints to pretty much do anything.❤
Yes Peter. Proofs in the pudding! 😊
Carole done it again ,Love the gold ,stunning ,Wow from me ,👏💖,now i expect more gold throught those doors ,👍
Thanks so much 😊
