- It's a day of transformations at the chateau, as Annalise works wonders with my hair, and Amaury assembles all of the wardrobes in our very own attic Narnia...

Annalise and Dan, taking care of all the roots at the chateau 😂🌿💇🏼♀️.
😱 OMG. Hilarious...and all too true. Their 🌱occupations✂️ definitely belong in the root sector seeing how they are both involved in root wrestling. Call it their trade root. 😬

So true! 🤣🤣🤣
Ha!! Good catch. Loved it. 🌸🌺🌷💕
Kirstie has such a pretty face. Her dimpled smile is contagious.
Completely agree! She has the most beautiful face!!!
She seems always full of joy
Could you have Amaury build a nice big fabric cutting table in the attic or is it too dusty. Would be great to take your pattern to the attic cupboards, select your fabric, lay it out and cut it all in the one place. The table could be covered in a dust sheet when not in use to keep it clean. Just a thought as I remember you having to use the floor. Deborah, Melbourne
I used an old dining room table and later two saw horses with a plywood 4’ x 8’ covered board. Makes cutting so much easier on your back.
BRILLIANT idea!
You should put a wardrobe in place of the door, so you have to walk through it to get into the Narnia room
Dan didn't get away with the flowers quick enough 😂 The attic looks amazing!
Mary seems like such a sweet, calm person!! Sad to see her go!! Every volunteer who comes to Lalande is so interesting, gifted and eager to help!! What a blessing for all of you!! Not forgetting Amaury...an in-house carpenter is a God send!!! USA
Had a good laugh at your efforts to retrieve the flowers but they are worth saving. Annalise did your hair beautifully.
SO lovely to see Annalise, missing her in Dan's vlogs ☹️ Attic looking good, hair looking good... It's all coming together! 😊
So lovely to see an old Stephanie 'Chateau Diaries' - loved it, a bit of everything. Amaury really is making a difference.
He is the cousin we wish we all had.
This is the first I am really seeing of Selmars new love and new life. I am in tears with happiness for them. I hope they do a vlog for their chateau too. Selmar deserves everything good, he has such a gentle soul. Bless him.
Best day ever! Hair done, fresh flowers, Christmas organizing, amazing food!
Always love to see Tatyana in a vlog, such an elegant woman, soft spoken and sophisticated. Your new hair Stephanie looks lovely, the cooks at LaLande are so talented , glad all the women ran to save the flowers. The closet shelves need liners but I guess it was decided not to put any, hopefully over time the wood does not stain the fabric.
Totally agree about the shelves needing liners to prevent the fabric getting stained over time.
Annalise looks stunning 🥰
Annalise, I've said it before but it is worth mentioning again: You do amazing work! Staphanie's hair looks fabulous.
🥰I agree!! Also Annalise’s hair (and makeup) looked stunning too!💕💕
Annalise is really talented 😃 These vlogs, with all that is going on in the Chateau, are always my favourites 🙂
Yay to see Analise!
These last few blogs are so much fun. Like the old ones, more natural! I’m really loving them!
The attic is looking really tidy all the things in the right place makes it so easy to find things. Annalise did a lovely job on your hair Stephanie . So many pretty coloured flowers shame they will not last long. Loved watchin x
annette shamrock It was so good to see Annalise again, she is so sweet & beautiful.
But, Stephanie still have black roots !
Annalise.. you're a star!
@Isabel Herrera... it's called a ' shadow root' 👌💯
@@dm7761 Right, it makes the hair color look natural.
I enjoyed this blog. I 'am a
Person that did hair for years
Annalise is great at what she
Does. A true professional. And
Your cousin is a man just like
Dan of many talents.
Hello LaLonde Ladies and flower rescuers, a suggestion, add a little foliage to your vases.
Mary! You will be missed. You did such a great job in the attic with the fabrics. Rebecca! Wow! What a job on the trims! Love it! I also love all the wardrobes and the organization. Stephanie! You are right! Cleaning out and organizing is good for the soul! God Bless you Mary as you travel to Berlin!
I love being organized, but it is so funny how unorganized it all gets when I am looking for something., How nice it is to have a whole attic for this reason! Your hair does look really nice too.
Think how much Tomas would have loved the attic project.
Yes, he would've loved 🦁Narnia.
🎉 Amaury, Mary, Rebecca & Stephanie are all doing an outstanding job organizing the fabric, trim, & various ornaments.
😉Tomas already built a spa space, but it got disassembled for another purpose. It only works if someone is there to manage it.
😘Hope he & his family are well.
Wish the best for 🌹Mary as she departs the 🏰Chateau too.
💚 Bridget from Cali☘️

Stephanie i am very happy as well that Amaury is living with you. 😊❤
It is such a blessing that your cousin moved in! He is such a kind, gentle, soul and very good worker. I see things are moving along swiftly and properly! That reminds me, what's going on with the downstairs' loo? At this pace, you fill finish BUILDING the new one before that one will be finish...? lol
Yet another lovely vlog. You can see how much you love having your cousin live with you Stephanie. You deserve as much joy as you share with others. Your vlogs are getting me through a tough round of surgeries right now. Always making me laugh out loud along with you 😊😊😊💖
Fiona, your comment touched my heart, as you are going through a lot right now you are the one lifting others, what a little gem! I hope all goes well with your surgeries and you heal quickly.
@Fiona JW sending healing light, strength to go through your surgeries and warm hugs .♥️
Fiona - your in our thoughts. I look for your comments to see how your getting along. Don't give up 5 minutes before the miracle 🌸🌺🌷💕
Stephanie these vlogs are fantastical like the old days thanks for making them nothing beats it when you are camera woman 💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wish Isabel were there. I would love to hear how happy she was to see things being tidied away!
Thank you, Stephanie, for sharing your mid-process hair and fallen tree adventure with us. The mad chatelaine look made my day.
I'm certain I've not missed a vlog, but I can't remember seeing any content showing the grounds in full bloom. I recall seeing a sunflower that had just revealed it's beautiful bloom, several passing glances of the courtyard, fruits and veg growing very well despite the cold wet summer, and other bits of the garden here and there......however with all of the gifts of seeds, prep last fall, sprint this spring, and long wet hours of work all summer I had hoped to see a tour of the grounds in full bloom. Please don't think of me as ungrateful. I am beyond grateful and fully aware of the tireless time spent creating these vlogs for us to enjoy... It's just that seeing bits here and there did not afford me, and perhaps others, a clear picture of the gardens splendor. I had hoped to see the magnificent grounds of the château reborn in vivid colors and textures; all thanks to planning, gifts, endless hard work, and investments. At any rate I now have an excellent excuse to watch the vlogs again......you know in the event I missed something. Not that an excuse is necessary to enjoy the vlogs once more. A second viewing will certainly allow me to take note of the background rather than the subjects themselves.
Cheers!
My prayers 🙏for Dan's little
Thomas 🧸💐 in the hospital
Helloooo my Angel's of lalande
Lovely to See you all....
❤️😘❤️😘for little Thomas xx
Stephanie, your hair is absolutely gorgeous and the style is so flattering on you! Annalise is so talented! Thank you for sharing your life with us. I smile and laugh at least once during every episode. You and the rest of the Lalande Family are truly a delight to watch. Blessings to you all!
Empty cardboard boxes can go on the compost heap, worms love it.
GREAT TO SEE
ANNELISE 😍
So nice to follow the daily life of the chateau!! Stephanie is such a warmhearted beauty ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely gorgeous trims. My uncle by marriage, his father invented "the" machine for making such trim. He supplied many of the couture houses in France. My uncle knew I loved to sew historical costumes and gave me a huge box of leftovers. Some have notes mentioning the designer for whom they were made.
😍Thats really cool! You are very lucky🥰
Whow !!! That was fun. All systems go at La Lande . Its always a joy to immerse oneself in the happenings and goings on in a house a world away in rural France for a half an hour. Stephanie you are a power house of content and interest. You are walking us all through the process of living in the present and living with intention. Thank you.
When Steph has the camera and flying round it is superb. You don’t need red bull…just watch this! There are some people who work better with a partner but for me Steph’s glow and energy is brightest when she is at the centre….and almost uses us as her partner. She just seems to bring out the glint in peoples eyes…and naughtiness!! Ps hope the new credits will include amaury….nati….cat…Dan..Philip…and kirstie
... and Phillip ❤
@@witchwithit2832 added on!

Wonderful to see the armoires used as collections of whatever doesn't fit anywhere else. But everything is organized!
LOL Amaury! “You do realize I measured the play mobile.”
The neighbors will say, “she must be preparing for Halloween.” Hahaha
Dan and the digger - I think his rear end is going to become fused to the seat. But it IS a handy tool indeed. You all have too much fun. But we enjoy watching. I hardly believe Natti is ever going to go blonde ever. Too beautiful as a brunette!! And Steph's hair looks great - Annalisse is a hair wizard (well not a witch - didn't want to imply that at all). Hair GENIUS is better. LOL!!
All true Tony, Especially about Dan and his digger!!
I live in Canada and when I saw you ladies harvesting mistletoe I decided to follow my hunch. With our winters fresh flora sometimes can only survive by being dried. I am pretty sure all of our mistletoe in the past has come to us dry. So I googled it and this is what it said "You can accelerate the drying process by placing sprigs of mistletoe upon a layer of borax, silica gel or even cat litter in a shoebox or other covered container, then covering the sprigs with another layer of the drying agent and closing the container. The mistletoe should be desiccated within two or three days". So good luck with saving as much as you need for Christmas!
OMG...GENIUS. TY TY TY
What a genius storage solution you've devised with your collection of armoire!. Wish I had a big attic to arrange my storage as you have done.
Congratulations on the excellent storage project in the attic! I enjoy all the wonderful characters at LaLande. Great vlog and great hairdo by Annalise.! Thanks Stephanie🙏🏻❤️
The marigolds will last in a vase of water. They will put out roots if kept near a window and with clean water. Then, you could put them in some pots in windows and overwinter them for some floral sunshine in the cold months.
Stephanie, I LOVE the deep tones in your hair! Love it! You look marvelous!
It's like a fish and vegetables seller moped van being chased by the ladies for daily supplies..
Annalise is such a gentle person and sweet ..
You might want to keep few kitties in the attic..for any pest invaders...that might move in...
😸
Just don't forget to shut the door..to the attic.
I just love the whole energy of the place and people..
I’m so happy to see how well the Cosmos did. I sewed some seeds of the same variety at our new place, (plus poppies) watered them all summer long, they never flowered then. Well, all the babying eventually paid off, as they are now in full bloom … they are so beautiful. They do lean over a lot but I believe that’s part of their charm …. Delighted to see you ladies running behind Dan to grab some cut flowers for the house. ❤️❤️ I never saw any poppies though. Hope you still have the seeds and will grow some next year. I know that Stephanie loves poppies. I do like the new, organized storage in the attic. Great to have Amaury there, too! I’m looking forward to Tatyana’s reveal. Being in Selmar’s life suits her … she is looking lovelier each time ….
Amuary is so gifted, when you find gifted men like, Amuary, Dan, Ian, all the Ians, Phillip, Selmar, and the lot, you have to hold on to them!!! Such blessings!!!
Maybe at Thanksgiving do something really special for them!!!
🥳Annaelise Sighting.... Hair color/cuts look great!
The attic s a wonderland to me.. behind every door is a surprise. It is magical. ladies as ever your hair cuts look beautiful. Annalisse truly knows her art. I love the progress of the pea-chicks! And great you ladies saved the flowers.
I once stashed so much stuff in the back of a wardrobe that a friend asked what I was going to do with it all, so I said, “It’s Narnia business” 😆
I am now obsessing about how I'll organize my x-mas decor after Christmas and that pumpkin soup!
Sorting, organizing, may I just thank God for those who are gifted with those skills!!!
You should have a big Narnia party in the attic. Stephanie would make a very elegant white witch. Dan could be Mr. Tumnus, Amry as Peter. Phillip with his mane of hair could be Aslan.
How good it feels to have holiday stuff neat and organized. Your hair looks great.
your highlights and lowlights look great for transition into fall. everything is so organized for each event, gives me some inspiration to tackle my own boxes of stuff
It's done!! 🎉👏🏻 OMG I love when things are organized and easy to find in cabinets. You all did an amazing job and you are so right your cousin is definitely a legend. This guy is efficient and fast, unbelievable. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I love your cousin so much! He's so knowledgeable and helpful, and he fits in with the community of la lande perfectly. I hope he stays forever!
The volunteers are a serious help in getting stuff done!!
As a confirmed organization freak, this vlog warmed my heart, so many beautiful things, can’t wait for the Lalande Christmas celebrations
Each wardrobe goes to a diff universe ✨
Amoury is a legend..i like that!!
Your hair looks fantastic! Attic is so tidy!
What a beautifull and happy place to be in love all the people love to every one there
The best way to treat the yellow boxwood is to make sure that you don't overwater them and they get better drainage they may not ever come back but if you replace them maybe if you were to add some rocks underneath where you planting them they would get better drainage. My husband and I did own a landscaping company many years ago. I went on the Internet to read this. God bless you and yours. Love, jenwhite
Love your hair. Annalise does great hair! ❤️☺️
It always feels good to have a place for everything and have everything in its place. Great team effort. Sad Mary is going. Annalise did a great job on your hair. The peach bathroom is looking fantastic 😍😘
Your hair looks fantastic 👍. Annalise is fantastic.
Love getting “stuff” put away. It is such a fabulous feeling - just as Stephanie has said.
Amaury is amazing…and a mind reader it seems! 💕setting an unbelievably high standard for all men worldwide! ❤️
LOVE Thursday vlogs; a litte bit of every where.
Your hair look's fabulous!
LOVE you guy's! ❤
I’ve never been that close to my cousins so I think it’s the sweetest thing in the world to hear you and Amory calling each other ‘cuz.’
I love what you've done with the attic...but...honestly watching amaury being used as a pot washer, wardrobe handler, clothes line fixer, plumber, one half of a full monty 🤣🤣🤣... is just sad 🤣🤣🤣. I can't wait until he starts on the grand salon. He's so very talented. I'm starting to feel sooo sorry for him 🤣😒😋
We all LOVE Mary!
Have you checked the PH level of the soil the box hedges are planted in, it may be the soil balance is too acidic for buxus it should be 6.5 - 7.5, you should be able to get a sample kit from your local plant nursery
Could it be box blight ?
Dan said they've sent off soil samples 🙂👍
@@jacquelinearcher1158 it's not blight, Stephanie showed a hedge the other day with blight, plus the caterpillar kind of chews away the leaves and they look skeletal, the leaf colour doesn't change 😊
Does it need chelated iron?
Stephanie!! You bought the candlesticks from Paris!
Ahhh I’m so glad, I loved them & was heartbroken when you left them behind ❤️
My husband and I are waiting for our passports. Hopefully next year we will be in Lalande!
Hey Ian: my mother would have been proud about the ‘basin’ comment. Actually, the wooden spoon would have been produced if I had confused a wash hand basin and a sink! 😂😂😂
You must put laurel leaves in the cupboards in Narnia, is will keep bugs out and from nibbling on fabrics and paper decorations. Also keep bath soap in between fabrics and tassles for same reason.
Thanks for the great tip!
I wonder - did your tree surgeon find any missing Easter goodies from last year while he was felling trees and stomping around the forest?
I understand that you have a lot of dust upstairs in the attic. Even with all of those wonderful wardrobes and have the doors closed there will still be this fine dust settling on things. Annoyingly enough. My suggestion, buy a air purifier then you will not have as must dust up there. - Annalise did a wonderful job with your hair!
I think the blue glass beads could look really pretty in soft furnishings, that way everyone gets to enjoy them (as opposed to clothing which isn't seen/worn every day). I can imagine them around the base of a lampshade or lining the edge of some curtain draping, that way the glass would catch the light beautifully!
The job cleaning of the Chateau grounds is a must as is everywhere.. the summer and fall flowers 🌸🌷🌸🌹🌼🌻 🍂🍁are gone but not to be sad because we get to look forward to winter ..beautiful too ❄️☃️⛷🏔 and Christmas🎄..
Ian did a gorgeous job of that new bathroom .. my fav color ..old fashioned pink🩰🐷 🚽
I lOve that Lalande has their own hairdresser Annalise .. that is special💗 she really does a wonderful job 🎀.. Jenny made my favorite pumpkin 🎃 soup amd stuffed peppers 🫑 ...soo goood! The Peacock family is just love 🦚 love them.. The Narnia storage is magical thanks to everyone and Amaury putting all the armoires together.. sorted always feels good .. lOoove all the 🎄 Christmas😁🥰 that will soon come out.
Mary was so sweet .. helping with Lalande Narnia😘
I love cosmos as well great they were treasured so much.
Mary is so beautiful.
ADORE YOUR NARNIA ATTIC 👏👏👏👏
Correct spelling might be "Amoirey" now.
Thought that was a pregnancy test! It would be lovely to make a ceramic version of that pumpkin to put soup in.
WOW, I now have cupboard envy, along with chateau envy, fabric envy, garden envy, garden envy, French envy....need I go on?
What a FABULOUS dream come true with all the cupboards sorted! LOVELY to see a vision come true. WELL DONE!
It was lovely to see Annalise, I miss her in Dan’s videos. I do hope their little one is home and well, poor darling.
Just an idea about your box hedge. If you have trouble keeping it, why don’t you plant azalea’s and make it into a hedge. It will stay green all year and bloom in the spring. I had one in my home and everyone just loved it.🇨🇦
Fantastic vlog Stephanie it's great to see you running around seeing all that's going on the attic wardrobes are great and you fabrics trims etc will be all tidy
Potiron is NOT pumpkin, pumpkin is citrouille Potiron is a form of courge or squash, but a direct translation I can't find on google...but even cooking them is different, potiron is much denser and harder, while pumpkin is very soft in comparison and less pungent/musty in flavor
Could it be the same group as butternut?
Great storage solutions and organization!
What a busy day saving flowers, hairdo's, tree observations, cooking and attic wardrobe maintenance. Not to mention celebrations with guests. Phew! Make sure you are getting enough vitamins Stephanie as you are going at 100mph again. Remember what happened before.
Of course Jillian choose a lovely spot amongst the bright dark pink flowers. I love that colour too!!!
Was there ever an unveiling of the finished downstairs powder room or did I miss it?
I know they were waiting for Selmar to come back but he's been back for weeks now and still no sign of the finished room.🤔
lol- just because we don't see something does not mean it is not finished. And then, when it is finished there are certain people who criticize everything. I wish all the critics would go help out at Lalande & share their expertise. 😊😊 (NOT directed at YOU, JMK!)
It hasn't been finished. Selmar had been busy travelling and Stephanie said that she wouldn't finish it without Selmar, as it was his project.
I'd like to see the finished room also. Is the china room close to completion too?
@@MzJust1girl - That's why I was asking is it finished?
@@frangeorge5962 - They haven't started it yet as they were filming for Chateau D.I.Y series doing the pigeon tower.
