The wardrobe door and frame being used in the bathroom was ingenious....! It looks custom-made for the original opening. Well done! The color and application of the plaster is spot on!!
What you were calling the spider in the wineglass is what we call a Daddy Longlegs -- a good guy who controls other insects in the vicinity and they don't bite.
We call a daddy longlegs the ones with wings!
@@Chroniclesofrosieres Those with wings are called crane flies...they are also called mosquito eaters.
You must be Aussie
Nope, Texan. The sad thing is that they are vegetarian and don't even eat mosquitos.
Amy we had those spiders in PNW they are a clue of colder than normal weather! Here in Lone Star state we have brown recluse spiders. Good keep an eye out anyway!
Well Done! ditto!
And all the Australians go, "That's not a spider!"
😂😂😂
and the South Africans too LOL
Your adventure with the spider was true comedy gold 🥇 LOL
"Did you change the color?" Marc's got your number. The rustic finish looks great.
Oh Amy, I hate to tell you that I burst out laughing when you had a spider panic! I don't have a problem with spiders, except one nasty called a whitetail which gives a pretty nasty bite. I get my son to deal with any I see! I'm impressed with your plastering skills, I love the colour, especially the contrast with the wood. And Marc, that repurposed wardrobe front really works well to hide the cylinder and pipes etc. I do like the plastered wall effect, it just works, doesn't it? Well done both of you!! Big hugs xx
Your cat is like a young child always wanting your attention and fun to include in your videos. The wardrobe front is genius and perfect. The plastering job also compliments the space.
Exactly! I can't do anything without one of my cats wanting to be in the way. *lol*
" It is a French spider, so I am transporting it in a wine glass".🤣
I love the way Marc used the front of the armoire
Just discovered you via Stephanie’s vlog on chateaus. Love what you are doing and how you are doing it! Love all the history of your place plus all the mysteries!
Yes, that cabinet door frame does look amazing. I agree. What a good idea, Marc! 💕🇨🇦
Oh Amy. Your spiders are bringing back memories. 60 years ago, grandma’s bathroom in an old house in Europe, exact same type of spiders used to reside in there, going the bathroom was an adventure for a 6 year old for sure. I also set spiders free.
Amy, so glad Marc approves of your color choice, and he was brilliant on the wardrobe doors! Crack On!
I‘m not a fan of spiders either. So I started the tradition of naming any spiders around me, which makes me feel like we know each other on a first name basis and are cool with each other. Mostly they‘re either called Agatha or Arnold, depending on how I‘m feeling. The long legged ones typically end up being Agathas. Short legged hunky ones make good Arnolds. Every now and then there‘s one that just calls for a more unique name, like Elfriede or Marmeduke.
Loving the darker tint. A great choice. Often in smaller rooms a darker colour works well. It’s looking really good Amy and the addition of Marc’s doors is ingenious.
Great job Amy! I love how supportive Marc is of your efforts - and you too of his work. I do enjoy your vlogs. Thanks ❤
Amy I love your expression on Marc‘s idea which thankfully proved to be a great idea. Well done x
Turned out great. Very warm and cozy. The end bit with don't plaster with a cat, made me smile and remember one of my loved and now gone kitty cats ,who walked onto a wet painted floor, and amazingly only left 1 paw print as proof he had been there. I saved that. I still wonder how he managed that feat of getting all the way across the room with a paw full of paint but left only 1 telltale mark on a window sill. 🤔😆🐈🎨
Kitty paw prints will just be part of the history of the Chateau. 😺🐾
I didn’t think the door would open either… well done!
Amy, the plaster colour is so nice. I love how the armoire front was used for the closet! Such a great idea
What a team you are....the walls look amazing and Marc has done a fabulous job on the armour trim and doors....it looks fabulous!!!! Well done and what a great idea that was for the doors!!
Love to see someone facing their fears.
Wardrobe door looks like it was always there. I love how it looks and it goes beautifully with the color you put on the walls. Well done!
I very much like the pinkish hue in the plastering of the loo. You tell Marc, that Gilbert Cartier (French) says the colour and texture of the loo is striking, stylish and pleasing, and if Gilbert says so, then that's good for me. PS - Marc does a good job too.
Great job Amy, and I love the wardrobe converted to closet doors. It now looks like the room had always been there with plaster walls and a beautiful antique cupboard. Amy, you are such a cheerful, kind loving and talented woman. And Marc, you are a man of great talents and a very supportive husband. I totally felt your fear of heights and spiders, and your stomach churning desire to remove the daddy long legs spider. My fear is of feathers, birds, and heights, which clearly you don’t have a fear of birds. I would have run away, so you’re way braver than me! Great video and sending hugs. xx
Absolutely love it when hubby got given the side eye by you . The plaster and the door look absolutely beautifully done . Beautiful job .
Great job you two. Love the repurposing of the wardrobe doors. Piggy and kitty cameos are cute.
Really lovely! You two are a great team. The plastering is gorgeous (and the color too). What a sweet little room! And those wardrobe doors are perfection. I was cringing when Marc was taking the old wardrobe apart, but then when he put them in the opening - wow! The coach house may be so wonderful that you won't want to leave!!
Marc is just so sweet, he reminds me of Rowan Atkinson. I bet you have heard that heaps of times 🥰🐨
I love using masking tape, it makes things so much easier, I also really like your result, the room and doors are wonderful 😊
You guys are a pleasure to watch. Thank you so much for all that you share.
That is a nice colour for the bathroom. Really appropriate. Truly.
You guys are so nice to watch. I love the friendly banter! You guys have such a big job ahead of you to restore that huge chateau.
Love to watch you two and well done 👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧
wow amy you are wonderwomen!!!!!
What a great idea to use the wardrobe doors to cover the utility closet. It looks wonderful!
The wardrobe doors look FABULOUS in the "powder room" and I love the color of the walls!
As an Australian being afraid of that spider is hilarious. When they don’t fit in a wine glass then I understand being afraid. Little deadly ones aren’t so bad because they don’t move so fast.
I like the plastering. It gives an old world charm effect to the walls. The idea with the armoire is brilliant!
I am just like you with spiders, whatever their names are, just panic even on a vlog. You do so well and being a mother with little ones, it's a great job and I like the terracotta colour. Oops ! WCL
Well done Amy! I really like the colour. And I also really like the wardrobe too Marc. Genius!
Love the cupboard idea with old wardrobe doors.... oh yes of course and the plastering 😁
Jobs well done. My favorite couple!
Mine also !!! I love Amy she is a beautiful woman. And then there in Marc , I just love his accent and a beautiful Man.
@@annlyon.2040 And they're super parents and they love their animals. They are the best.
You have done Excellently. With Spiders. Hights. And plastering.🙏❤️✌️
It’s looking amazing Amy☺️ all considerabel it’s the endresult that counts. Now you know what you could deliver with the right amount of sleep and no disturbence! I really love Marcs response, so adorable 🥰 Love to rewatch your storyline.
Hi Amy and Marc, well done both of you on what you did in the bathroom. From the position of the camera when you were applying the masking tape Amy I first of all thought you had overstretched and slipped off the stepladder. Fortunately, you didn't, and it was only a crane fly, alias daddy longlegs. Lovely job on the walls.
Marc, that was very innovative using the front of the old wardrobe as the doors to the electric cupboard, c'est magnifique mon ami. Best wishes.
Wardrobe door as a cupboard door looks Amazing🤗👍
Amy's walls also looking Amazing well done both of you 🤗👍
☕🍰🍫☕🍰🍫🌹💐🌹
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Lovely job on the plaster, Amy. Tell Marc the doors are absolutely fabulous. What a great idea! Love all the progress. How are the tiles coming?
Love your attention to detail Amy and totally with you on the spiders xx
You and Marc make a great team--when you get to sneak in a few things before he sees them! Ha ha! I'm amazed at how the two of you just jump in with both feet and do what needs to be done. Loved using the wardrobe doors--who would have thought about that? Such great minds. You're the best! Even on 4 hours sleep!
Please, please reuse that cabinet that you took the doors off of. Maybe a please that all your plastering supplies can go on to be in one place. Just an idea. Oh love the way you used the doors. The room looks great. Keep up the good work😉
I react the same way.. my heart was jumping when you were catching it in the glass.. I do catch them the same way.. but boy did it make my heart jump..!! Ha ha!
Loved the reuse of wardrobe doors , Lana Australia
Oh Amy if that wee little spider makes you squeal, you don't want to meet an Australian Huntsman spider!! Those be huge suckers!!! Personally, I would have turned off the camera and vacuumed them all up. All bets are off when spiders enter my house!!
Well done Amy...top job!
I am amazed that it. Fit so perfectly. It looks gorgeous.
Well done Marc and Amy. I’m not a fan of heights and spiders either. The color on camera looks terra cotta which looks lovely against the dark wood. All cats 🐈⬛ are very curious and want to be with their humans. Hopefully the plaster will wash off the paws 🐾 Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Love seeing your restoration work, hope you can get in before winter?
I love you Amy, the way you throw yourself into everything is wonderful, even when there’s scary spiders hanging around, well done love you made a great job, great idea with the cabinet doors Marc, between the two of you, you make a great team, love your channel and everything you both do, much love xxxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cheering you talented people on from South-Western Ontario, Canada! I had a really good chuckle out of your reaction to the spiders LOL, they are just harmless Cellar Spiders, they eat other bugs. I have them all over my place too.
Great job lime plastering and beautiful research of color. Very good idea for the doors, the rest of the cabinet with its shelves could be used for the pantry.Thank you for being considerate to the spider .Excellent reflex to protect your lungs with mask and your whole body with muscle stretch after working. Renovation work can be hazardous, I was a bit stressed when watching Marc with the whole frame and doors in full torsion, better carry with another person or bit by bit. Love your tone and rhythm Bravo!
Well done looks amazing love the wardrobe doors perfect
I see you feel the same way as I do about spiders! The can tell me they are not poisonous but still don't like them.♥️♥️♥️😘
Using the wardrobe faccia as an alcove cover was genius, Marc
♥ the warmer toned plaster, Amy - I love toned down warm colours like terracotta, brick reds and red pinks
Prioritising the coach house sounds good - it could even provide an additional income stream for a month or 2 in the summer, which could be useful as it looks like the western world is heading for a nasty recession. If you do let it, perhaps erect some Yurts or similar for yourselves and treat it as a holiday.
Have you ever considered allowing camping, somewhere far away from the Chateau, for privacy ? Just a basic, unpretentious amenity, to minimise the workload - a field with nothing more than a portaloo for people passing through.
I totally understand your fear of spiders, Amy! Shudder.
Do pigs wag their tails for the same reason dogs wag? It was fun to watch Piggy wagging his/her tail near your plaster mixing. 💗
I am also terrified of spiders; I have to say you are very brave to capture it and set it free.
really good solution marc 👍 and well done amy mastering plaster
Well done on the plastering and the wardrobe doors 😁
Amy buy yourself a spider catcher , like a mini hoover but operated with a battery,you can then release them outside ,they are then at arms length.
With the myriad chateau restoration available on video, yours is ostensibly most interesting.
From your wonderful children(makes it real) to the Anglo-French lord & Lady(mom&dad),charm, exquisite taste, sans pretention(humility)....We might name your program, savoir faire.
God bless you and your Chateau De Rosieres.
Turn Out Great Nice And Warm You Did A Nice Job I Like What Mark Did With The wardrobe Door 🚪 💕
The noises of the spider terror! Adorable Amy! 😂😂😂
😬
You have a good choice of color. The wall looks aged as it should.
Great idea with the wardrobe front! Great job, Amy!
It looks great both the cupboard and the walls well done xx❤❤
You might try a small brass brush to gently remove the white from the trim... easier to control and less aggressive than an electric sander.
I totally understand the "wife plaster technique " as I had to do our bathroom over twice after my husband's go at it...😊
Love the colour of the plaster and the wardrobe doors job well done thanks for sharing
I was laughing throughout at the conversations between the two of you. It was fun banter. The armoire doors add amazing character to the space. Well done-
I don't like spiders either, but since living here in Queensland you get used to them, there are many here that make you very sick and some that are deadly if they bite you. The doors looked good and I do like the colour of the walls too. Well done. 💕🇦🇺
Bravo !!! Marc ,🙌🙌🙌👌👌
Well done both of you. For sure cats always get in our business when we are busy. It's their curiosity, however most like mine want nothing to do with me in their business. I like the color Amy and Marc the doors look perfect.
Looks great Marc and Amy!
Original intro...😁
Well done both, looking great x
Pig pig thinks bucket means food - not plaster! Love all your animals. Mark is doing such a great job with the old wardrobe doors, recycle, reuse! You are ding a wonderful job with that gorgeous coloured plaster. xxx
What a great idea using the wardrobe door, you guys work so well together, fantastic.
PURRFECTO!!!
💗💗 Beautiful trailer 💗💗
Wonderful video. Thankyou.🇬🇧🥰
Good morning from Canada 🇨🇦
Morning!
It all looks great, I do tend to favor deeper tones so the brown plaster is my kind of taste. The armoire door is BRILLIANT! What a great idea. Be well, hope Juliette is feeling better.
You do know that spiders are always coming back into the house. ☺️ You would have to put the spiders really really far away. But spiders show that the atmosphere in the house is good and they are good against small insects. I‘d leave them there ;-)
Incredibly beautiful. The chateau isn’t bad either😉 Seriously, great work, see you next time…..
Great camera shots ❤
I love your laugh , your chateau has soo much history, i really enjoy watching you and Marc.
That colour looks nice too. From Melb
Really enjoy this trailer 😁
Although I’m not a new subscriber, I have spent the past couple weeks watching each and every one of your fabulous videos, some more than once. I agree with what everyone else says~ your intro is absolute perfection.
Amy, you, Marc and sweet Clement and Juliette are such a genuinely lovely family.
Can’t wait for the next one. Have a wonderful week !! 🥰🌼
So kind of you to say so!
I live in a huge house and I have a deal with my spiders of which there are many many. I don't bother them and they don't bother me and they catch as many flies and mosquitoes as possible. The other day I saw one run across the floor and from a distance I thought that it was a mouse ! As for ladders, I fell backwards off one last year and ended up in hospital with all my ribs on one side broken, my shoulder out and my hip bruised so YES be careful ! Six months to recover ! xoxo
