"I think that would be really cool to have wallpaper in here. . . . I'll just go make some now." WOW. Love that fact she can, and we all know it will be amazing.
And, just like that 😄 she’s such a gifted artist!
I can't wait to see it. Also, all of this gives me courage to give things a go. I don't think i have the training or background to make something as lovely as Anna can make, but I can at least make something bespoke to me, and enjoy the process!
@@zeetalzee5582 Absolutely! Go for it, Z!!
She’s amazing. My sister is like that.
Anna worked in fashion before this from what I gleaned in earlier videos. She’s probably always had an affinity for creating her own designs. Love the transition to skilled trades and restoration work. Bless her. A lovely woman in construction story!
Definitely, all the scenes with Ziggy are hilarious.
She completely needs/deserves a studio for all this art she does. Turn a room into a studio, I will definitely watch lol.
Looking at the freshly washed Ziggy I think he is your perfect floor color sample! You can‘t go wrong with his beautiful color + you would not see his hair on the floor!
The timelapses make all look so easy but I can only imagine the hard work and how your body must ache in the evening. The wall paper samples look amazing!
@@maxbarko8717 😀
@@maxbarko8717 Yes!! Where did Ziggy go?
You could even apply the stain with him while you give him belly rubs! (jks jks)
wow. I appreciate your thoughtfulness in selecting stain, paint ... your hard work, determination, and love of your Chateau brings such joy to so many. I am so proud of you!
Blue on white wallpaper is my favorite color. Floors are beautiful ❤
Phillip looking deep into my eyes and telling me to use my wallpaper…. Swoon! 😍🤣🖤
Ziggy, needing his mommy hugs, was so cute! He's a good boy
You thrive when you create beautiful works. Whether it is painting, walls,floors,gardening or being a great mom ,and fabulous wife to our prince Philip.
I love the Pearl color in the boot room - very similar to Sherwin Williams Sea Salt which I recently used in my home and absolutely love it. BUT...the idea of the blue and white wallpaper is inspired. It will not only echo the kitchen tiles, but it will also be absolutely gorgeous framing your dining room color! I can't wait to see that room fully decorated. Well done, guys!
Just absolutely stunning. Well done, Team Anna Philip and Benoit.
Team Anphiloit? 🤣
This was a particularly interesting episode. The humor of it all with 'Ziggy', his needed bath, his craving attention from one of his pack leaders (Anna), just such a very homespun storyline (That was Philip's cinematography vision?). Your parquet floors look exceptional - the 'why' such hard work (fixing, sanding, undercoating, sanding, top coating, sanding, "wash, rinse, repeat" (shampoo commercial line in the US) pays off in the end. Now as to the wallpaper... Philip's idea contribution to be sure, but Anna, your craftsman's talent with design, and colors... always a pleasure to see come to fruition. I look forward to seeing your solution on the hallway walls. Elegant, yet simple designs, hand (not machine manufactured) made in-house and shown there - in such an elegant setting - your home, your chateau. These are the reasons I found this episode special.
I’m full of admiration for your restoration projects!
Just a thought ; I think there needs to be a series of books - “The Adventures of Ziggy, the Chateau Dog”. With wonderful illustrations by you.❤️
The finished parquet floor is exquisite. Just goes to show the importance of every step done well. Love the colours in the dining room. Cant wait to see the wallpaper next week!
Your videos are such a breath of fresh air! This is how a chateau renovation video should be like. Some actual renovation instead of faffing around and empty promises with projects that never get done. Absolutely great work guys, keep it up!
Perhaps you should have the good sense to pay attention to what the chateau channels are about instead of expecting them to be all the same. This channel is actually called "How to Renovate a Chateau" so, naturally, renovations are the focus of the channel.
It is rather silly to expect other channels to focus on renovations unless they specifically state that this is the purpose of their channel.
Stephanie...There is a really simple solution: don't watch the other channels...problem solved.
@@myoldtractorshed That's the sensible approach, but these types are only happy when they have something to complain about.
I like that it’s Philip & Anna’s thing. 💖
Harsh
Anna is a perfectionist artist I would trust her completely designing my home ❤
Some of my favorite videos are those in which Anna expresses her wonderful artistic ability. I think the blue and white wallpaper for the boot room will look beautiful. The investment of care and labor made in the finishing of the floors in both the boot room and dining room has paid off splendidly!
Wall Paper will be beautiful!
Making your own wallpaper is so badass! I love the wood flooring color as well. And having to drop everything to wash your dog that just rolled or stepped in some sort of poop is the most relatable thing I’ve seen all day 😂
Your hand printed wall papers are amazingly stunning.....the floors look fantastic....
anna looks so excited like a little girl doing one big art project, that is amazing!
Anna I think you deserve a massive acknowledgment for all your hard work. Hooray for Anna!
It's humbling to see the amount of work and care behind all this beauty. All my admiration for you, guys, and thanks so much for the inspiration.
We had finished sanding a huge kitchen hardwood floor, the owner wasn’t around and I took a coffee ☕️ break. Whilst pouring a coffee for my assistant, I dropped the entire pot of coffee onto the newly sanded floor! It was gorgeous! GORGEOUS! Made a few more pots of coffee and spread it as evenly as possible. Let it dry, tested in a out of the way spot to see if it needed a second coat of my magic stain. Choose to do it a second time. Let it dry mostly and went over it with a damp sponge 🧽 about three times. It sunk into the gains and the darker lines emphasized the grain. Leaving a beautiful variants of the shades of brown. I wish I had a picture to show you. Sealed it and the client was beyond thrilled! Have managed to replicate it even on stripped wood furniture. It’s not an even colour at all but it looks amazing on herringbone and parka(I’m from Canada so it autocorrect from parquet) floors. One of a few happy mishaps I made during my career. 😊 love and respect from Calgary, Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 💝
Anna. I just love seeing how you come alive when you are doing creative things-like designing a new color for your wall paper block. I hope one of the next projects will be clearing and creating your atelier!!
Ziggy adores you.......he stole the show. Amazing job on the floor.....so much work....well worth it in the end.
When Anna said she “reads the instructions”, I laughed. That statement is so Anna - attention to detail and a seeker of perfection.
She is incredible and I'd love her advice any time attempting anything like this. The results were fabulous - a new floor...What a gorgeous room
The floors are gorgeous! Can't wait to see how you'll decorate. I always see dining rooms as little jewelry boxes - decorating with metals here and there (that gilt mirror, candlesticks, etc.) will be absolutely gorgeous with candlelight!
I hope there is a magnificent crystal chandelier to set the mood of elegance and reflect in the mirror over the fireplace. I like Anna’s style which has a contemporary twist yet still is refined and elegant
@@pmm3112 …Me too!,I love the simple elegance with a twist of modern with out all the superfluous clutter that one sees on the other chateau links,…and makes their abodes look like a bricante…less is more❤
So many opinions in the comments today. Remember it is their home done to their taste . I appreciate the processes and steps in repair they share. Job well done Anna and Phillip.
Respect to Anna for her hardcore work ethic. What an absolute grafter! Round of applause 👏
Well the floor looks beautiful and Philip is right your wallpaper is exactly what is needed in hall
The floor looks fabulous!! Ziggy is such a star, what an adorable dog.
These videos are so adorable. I think the wallpaper is lovely. The background music as always is magical it just transports you back to the age of elegance.
Absolutely Gorgeous
The floor is so beautiful. I never get tired of the transformation that takes place with sanding and varnishing❤
The natural oak colour on the dining room floor is lovely. I'm glad you didn't stain it.
I think the DR floor is my favorite part so far. Of course the kitchen is a miracle but I love the chevron pattern. The back hallway wallpaper is going to be stunning.
Cannot wait to see the project finished. It would be lovely to have an opening period banquet in it ❤️❤️
Looking fabulous. Ziggy loves you guys so much. He really wants to be apart of your every move. Endearing. I look forward to the podcast episodes. You both are bringing back the elegance of the Chateau’s former self. Artistic elegance all the way. ❣️
Another fab job done, you dining room is going to look very glam when its all dressed. And great idea to use you hand printed wall paper in the hall. Xxx
Was very excited to see this video. Your attention to detail was fantastic. I loved when Phillipe looked at Anna and mentioned the wall paper. His love of your talent Anna came through with a sparkle in his eyes. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of watching you make the wallpaper with blue. I can hardly wait to see what you choose. I am so glad I did not have to smell Ziggy in cow poop. The look of his face was priceless. Thank you for sharing this amazing video
Can’t wait to see the wallpaper,I think a touch of the orange from the dining room would connect the site line beautifully.
The dining room is really beautiful. I love the warm walls and gorgeous floor. It’s very inviting and I look forward to seeing how you’ll furnish and decorate !
I love it when you make wall paper and ziggy is such a good boy.
Amazing Anna. Great job there again. Admiration. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌹🌹🌹
The new floor is stunning! Ziggy really wanted some love!
The wallpaper would look beautiful. I really like the color Anna picked for the hallway walls. Floors look beautiful.
Please please, would love love to see more of Anna designing and painting - for the walls. It makes who you are and what you do and your B&B even more special..... The downstairs loo is glorious, by the way!!!
Well done Anna. You have done a superior job. You're lucky to have Benoit on your team to help with the processes. Looking forward to seeing the next steps.
Poor Ziggy. Such an adorable loving boy.xx
The pure look of love and admiration in Phillip’s eyes as he suggested to Anna to do the wallpaper. ❤ that was a beautiful moment to witness.
I discovered your channel and spent the last week watching from the beginning. Imagine my despair now at having to wait an entire week between videos. A whole week of no painting time lapses, no mention of waste pipes, no Benoit. It’s too awful.
The blue wallpaper with white pattern took my breath away. Truly stunning!
Thanks for subscribing😀
YES! Wallpaper on the entry walls!!!! And… the stomping technique is perfect! 😊
Philipp hit the jackpot when he married Anna! What a talented, inspiring, tireless, beautiful soul!
That blue for the hallway is absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Anna, you are such a hard worker!
What a good boy, our dog will fight us tooth and nail. Ziggy is precious
I love the blue on white wallpaper.
The dining walls look even better with the new floors. Seeing that dining room colour from the hallway is just divine. I love the dimension it brings, especially when seen from other rooms. It is so refreshing to see a youtube channel where the creators have a unique, personal point of view.
I absolutely adore that blue and white wallpaper! It's very soothing to look at
Love the first one with the blue background and white print. So gorgeous in the that space in my opinion.
You are always painting! But it looks amazing!!
The floors are beautiful. Anxious to see what you choose to do about the wallpaper in the entrance. Poor Ziggy. Glad he's gotten over his bath. Awesome as always.
Anna, your patience and dedication to detail is amazing
The wall color in the entry may change its tone and appeal with a darker color on the floor. I think the subtle hint of color in the wall paint will make the rich floor color all the more dynamic and at the same time not too overwhelming for an entry. I especially loved the blue flowers and with a matching blue thin border it would match the kitchen tiles so well. Love, love, love the wallpaper carvings!
I would love to see cleaning/organisation videos too. Like when you clear out stuff from rooms
Also crafty stuff back in the videos, my favourite 😍
Anna you are amazing! An artist in every way.
The sheer amount of work and labor is just unreal! Just watching you makes me tired! But truly, your efforts paid off because the floor looks stunning!
Ziggy was so funny!!! 🤣🤣
Anna Loves to paint. She's the paint Queen of this chateau.
Anna your blue proposed hallway wall paper will be a nice touch ! You are so amazingly talented .
Well done Ana! You have done such backbreaking work. Looks beautiful! Ziggy is so adorable 🥰
Yes to the wallpaper! Would add so much flare to that area. And it's SO lovely.
I really love the color of the walls in the dining room, and the finished floors looks lovely to! Will be so much fun to see both rooms fully transformed! ❤️
Love watching Anna work. It's inspiring. Meticulous and tender with her focus & execution.
The parquet is gorgeous good job Benoit & Anna! And I’m glad Philipp stood his ground about the wallpaper in the hallway I can’t wait to see how that transformation turns out!
The diningroom floor looks wonderful. All your hard work paid off.
The wallpaper idea is great. When you first did the white on blue I thought it was lovely, but then the second version was stunning. A classic, graceful pattern. And the dining room floor really is a labor of love. What a successful and productive episode.
Ziggy is a star! 😊 Love the work you are doing to the Chateau, please keep your videos coming!...
I think it fantastic the way you just make wall paper when you need it .such a great design .ziggy wants to help x
Ziggy reminds me of my first dog Kodi. Same color and that face that melts hearts. Gosh I miss my Kodi but so nice to see Ziggy.
I love all the clips of Ziggy!!! He's such a lovely boy
Those floors looked so thirsty in the beginning. Lovely choice of stain and finishing. It all looks so sated and complete. Well done!
Beautiful Anna! Can't wait to see which wallpaper you put in the entrance; they're both really pretty. Have a wonderful week, thanks for taking us along on this; love the dining room floor and your entrance floor too. (from Sandi)
The wallpaper will be absolutely stunning (inspired idea!) - and so clever to pick up on the blue and white. It's going to be gorgeous!
The parquet floor looks beautiful!! And I love your wall paper idea, the blue/grey colour you have chosen will look really amazing! Ziggy is hilarious!
My knees hurt just watching this! I'm glad it's behind you!
Hi Anna, yourr meticulous planning when starting a new projest is amazing. The foors look fantastic! You are so talented and never shy away from some back-breaking job. You are all an inspiration for sure.
Stunning floor, gorgeous wallpaper and adorable Ziggy. Another fabulous visit to your home Anna and Philipp.
The dark blue with the creamy white was my favorite! But all your wallpapers are my favorites! Everything looks amazing, thanks for sharing your journey. 🥰
I love your floors . You must by now know every single separate piece of parquet , and have chosen your favourite . Every piece looks lovely from here . I have no idea how you manage it all , with various young animals to supervise as well .
Oh Anna, it is perfection! The floor is just beautiful! You worked so hard my goodness. The dining room is stunning. I am so looking forward to your design choices for the room. The boot room is going to be lovely. I am in awe of your wallpaper design. Good idea Philip to wallpaper.You are so talented Anna. The blue and white is such a pretty color. Ahhh Ziggy can you get any cuter? What a love. I had to laugh when he rolled in cow poop , the look on his face. We had a dog who would roll in the mud at low tide at our beach, an odor equally as bad as cow poop. But how can you not love them . Another great vlog. Thank you.
You are doing a great job
The floors look gorgeous. Can't wait to see the decoration and final hallway. Take care!
You guys have so much energy. It makes me tired just watching!
I really liked the storytelling in this video. The dialog at the beginning, camera following Anna through the house, the process of wallpaper making and timelapse at the end when girls appeared also.
Oh, and Ziggy and cow poop, lol!
Ziggy is such a momma’s boy. He’s so beautiful. The work you are doing is amazing. Keep the progress coming!
Anna, your ability to create your own wallpaper is most impressive and makes your living space more personal and admirable. Having a more personal space most certainly gives comfort and meaning to creating a showcase that can stand the test of time. I know for me carefully choosing colour and décor has made me love my home and lowers my stress level because I am happy in my space. You and Phillip have done an incredible job with your chateau.
Anna,
What a wonderful vlog of you all today. Details are certainly your strenght. The entry hall is coming together and your choice of stain and varnish are excellent. You and Ziggy shone in front of the camera today. Ziggy showed his range of emotions from embarresment to excitement but most of all love .Even your walk through the Chateau to your storage was a micro tour of adventure through all you have completed..
Such an enjoyable way to catch up with your doings on a Sunday afternoon
Omg Anna, both are just beautiful, your skills are gorgeous, I love the floral designs!!! Good to hear Phillip and Benoit in the back ground.
Wasn't sure I liked the color of the dinning room but it has grown on me. Love the floor after doing it, for now. Will wait for your vlog to see it done. It really turns down the brightness of the walls. Drapes of cream with florals in different shades of the walls would look great. Whatever you put up will be gorgeous just like the rest of the Chateau. See you later.
I don’t think floral curtains are Anna’s aesthetic, tho. Curtains might be a bit fuddy duddy for her clean contemporary look.
Ziggie!! That Phillip is a keeper! Love his idea to use Anna's wallpaper in the entrance room. Can't wait to see that.
