Thank you. I've been watching your channel for probably two years and didn't know Beth had a channel. One of the things I really love is when I leave a comment, you give it a❤ and let me know it didn't fall on deaf ears. You have done a beautiful and terribly difficult job. Thanks again. 🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊
TY Carole,Beth and Adrian for sharing the Chateau with us,seeing some beautiful parts of Europe and for being exactly who you are.. funny ,cool people.💛💛💛
And what is name of Beth's channel???
Carole, you and Adrian are just incredible.The chateau was pretty darn awful when you gained possession of it! You have created a gorgeous chateau. The salon is your artistic masterpiece and it will live long after we are dust. ❤️
Let’s hope so Rita 😊
"Someone along the way to give you guidance, and also someone that you love desperately to do it with." There you go, that's the kicker right there.❤
Love it! 😂
Wow Carole….never realized you two had so many other renovations! Good for you. The chateau is certainly coming to life with all your hard and diligent, beautiful craftsmanship & style!🌸
Yes! Thank you!
Carole & Adrian...there aren't words enough to describe what only the 2 of you have accomplished at the Chateau in such a short span of time. It's "Outer Worldly"! Carole you forgot to mention 1 very important word when describing all things necessary for what you & Adrian do & that's "Talent"! & you've got it! I've so enjoyed the journey with both of you sweet, sweet people & Beth has been a tried, true & talented helper & an awesome filmmaker along the way too. Awesome video today. Blessings to all & TY for letting us ride along. Keep em comin Miss Bethany. Take care all😊
Thank you 😊
"Most of all patience:" I couldn't agree more. Add to that..... endurance and incredible artistry and skillful craftsmanship. These words and more describe both of you, Carole and Adrian. Somehow it seems likely that this chateau would have literally fallen into complete destruction. Or another buyer/new owner might have not have had half the patience and would have completely gutted parts of the interior, taking away all the historic beauty. Whatever you decide for the future of the chateau, many of us will be so glad that both of you and Beth did a great job of documenting some of your extensive and laborious reparation and restoration, helping everyone see how you truly brought Chateau de la Ferte back to life.
Thank you 😊
A very heartfelt, personal reveal and how it was achieved by the loving relationship you have for each other and your children.
You are so kind
52 years of ageless beauty and class. A wonderful example of what the desire, foresight and the human spirit can do.
Thank you 😊
Honestly, I’m not sure if, in the history of Chateau de la Ferte, the grande salon ever looked this good. I’d wager to say that your taste in the producing of the space is the best it’s had or could ever have. Also, I would say that it’s extremely lucky to have had your hand in its birth. Lovely, lovely work my dear Brits
Thank you 😊
Watched you two start by picking up the fallen trim and moldings. So much of it. Then tearing out the parquet floors and numbering the pieces that you could reuse. The time you put in that room was unreal. And as you said, you were relentless about getting it done and over. It is unbelievably beautiful and I would feel even more so if I saw it in person. Such a lovely home, outbuildings and gardens. Love you both and look forward to what you do next ❤
Thank you 😊
Thank you Adrian,Carol and Beth for taking us with you in the chateau adventure.
Our pleasure!
The living room is the icing on the cake, but every restored room is now beautiful. Many hours of hard work, but a wow effect! Carole👌
Thanks so much! 😊
and the grand salon is so well renovated and marvelous :P
Thank you 😊
Bravo, bravo bravo!! It’s incredible what you have both accomplished not only at the Château at so many other homes. I’m incredibly in awe at Your dedication and your artistic expressions in the château takes a lot of gumption dedication, and appreciation for the art that is called renovation when accomplished on your scale!!! It’s funny how watching this CZcams channel? I’m sure that I can speak for myself and so many others That we become so entangled in your lives and you with us because you read our comments and we become friends and we root for your success. Please take time for yourselves now and enjoy what you have and what you have been blessed with I love the banter between you and your hubby and the love you have for one another with lots of admiration one viewer of many, that will always admire you.😊
Thank you 😊
You should be all proud of what you have achieved the salon is superb😘
Thank you Annette 😊
We all miss seeing you all. Every room you have worked on is beautifully done.😅
Thank you so much 😀
That was lovely Carol. Nice to see you sitting in and enoying your salon.
Yes it was!
"...AND someone that you love desperately to do it with"! Well said! Aside from all of these admirable characteristics; perseverance, patience, dedication... the greatest of these, is love!
Oh yes! 😊
The salon is just gorgeous! Such talent and passion. It kills me you are moving.
Sorry! 😊
The salon is a beautiful room....a credit to you both.
Thank you 😊
Carol -- this is a keeper. Congratulations again!
You’ve put a huge amount of work into the chateau but it shows, it’s been done to a high standard and not just the visible bits. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are quite right it’s not just the purchase price and renovation costs but the daily upkeep and running costs that people don’t appreciate in these large old buildings.
Well said!
Hi Carole, thank you for taking us back to the beginning. We sometimes forget all the hard work you; Adrian and the children had done. You salon is beautiful. I am so happy you are in it. Love from N.Y.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful result. I love the symetrical facade too.
Thank you!
I started watching you as I was battling cancer! You had covid! You were miserable! I laugh now because I feel I do know you as a fun cheerful person! Ha! I am glad I hung in there! What a difference a few years make!! Storms do calm down and blow away! We are blessed!!!
Can’t beat a good storm now and then !
Awe, it ended so sweetly: "Someone you love desperately to do it with." 💕
Amazing achievements! I remember all those episodes mainly gilding those seemingly jigsaw puzzles called mouldings. I still cannot understand how a human being can be equipped with sooo much patience. And stamina as you just said. Well done!
Thank you 😊
Carol, and what about the roof of the chateau? Judging by the video, there are traces of leaks on the ceilings.
Every bit of your hard work and perseverance was needed.
Now we can see the Love shining bright in the restored rooms. I imagine how lovely and grand that Grand Salon really is.
It takes special people to accomplish that.
The furniture was gone, you had to shop and find those pieces and coordinate them and now it is so amazing.
I am very curious what the people that had owned the Chateau said when they walked into the restored Salon ?
They loved it very much! 😊
And a beautiful chateaux it is too xxx
Great idea to put it here too, for those who didn’t hear about the new channel. 👍♥️
Delightful! You have every right to be very proud of what both of you have achieved. A stunning restoration done with so much love. Amazing.
Thank you very much!
It’s come a long way. 🥰
Carole- you are my hero! I love old homes and my hubby says I am a sucker for a lost cause. I have enjoyed this video and learning more about you and your previous adventures. So glad you are able to document all your beautiful home owes y'all in blood, sweat and tears. Enjoy it so much!
Thank you Karen 😊
I think you both are fabulous and are doing an amazing job. I so enjoy your videos. You must be so proud. Thank you for not giving up.
Our pleasure!
This was lovely, and you really have done wonderful work. Truly great what you've done.
Thank you very much!
And what a stunning chateau she turned out to be for you both, Carole and Adrian you did a great job and continued to do 👏👏 Take care and see you both next time 💕🌼🤗
Thank you so much Carole. C u Sunday
I watched the videos as you worked on the salon. Couldn't wait to see the finish. It's absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you so much!
Carole and Adrian, you have done such beautiful work and put so much love and hard work into the restoration. Thank you for th8s wonderful video. ❤
Thank you 😊
You do absolutely beautiful work. You can definitely be proud of it. ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you 😊
watched it again lol saw it on beth’s channel…❤
❤ This was such a lovely remembrance of all the things I've watched you do. I think it probably also helps that the two of you have a sense of humor. It certainly makes watching more fun. Thank you for letting us in on the whole process.
Yes! Thank you!
...Congratulations! You do an extraordinary, beautiful job, down to the smallest details. You have excellent refinement in everything you choose and do. You are the type of person we all admire. I really hope the work at the chateau evolves so that one day you can sit and admire all the environments the way you imagine them to be.
Thank you so much 😀
Well said and well done. Glad I got to watch a little bit of the work again!
Thank you for your background. Very impressive. This was really beautiful and touching. I watched every video and couldn't wait to see what was being tackled. I was and still am remodeling my home. Your video's and projects are a major inspiration and gave me encouragement. Thank you!!
Wow, thank you!
Wow I remember all these stages you and Adrian have done! Look how far you have come. What a fabulous beautiful place. You must keep going you both have so much love in the Cheatue.
Thank you so much!
You brought a little tear to my eye with your closing remark❤️
Sorry! 😊
It was sweet lol
It’s a labor of love! You guys have worked so hard on it. It’s amazing. Looking forward to see what happens next.
Us too!
Well said! It makes me want to cry when I think about you selling the Chateau!
Chateau Delannoy could use some help, painting etc. They are an awesome couple!
Aah! That was lovely 😊
Didn't even know Beth had a channel? what's it called ?
LOVED this, thank you Beth & Carole! Xx
You're so welcome!
An old house like this is super interesting for enthusiasts. However, due to Building regulations, it’s not that fun to live in it. :)
Watching this video reminded me of the first time I cam across your channel and you'd just finished the grand salon and I was absolutely gobsmacked by not only your vision, but your creativity and downright hard work! Been hooked ever since 🙂
Thank you 😊
Definitely done with lots of love. Btw, I still think you need a carpet in the salon to warm it up a bit. 😊
The fire does that! 😂
I love your videos and all the work you’ve put in. If I had millions , I’d have a baby grand and a French writing desk and an Aubusonne (sp) rug delivered to your door.
Thank you 😊
I am truly amazed on how far you have all come in lovingly restoring this beautiful Chateau to her original glory! I remember watching your earlier vlogs and all the love, passion and hard work that you guys put into her to what she is now......WOW! Thanks for sharing with us your journey.....restoring a Chateau is not for the faint of heart and you guys should be soooooo proud of what you have achieved. ❤
Thank you very much!
Carole you are such an honest, hard working, fun loving, down to earth person, I love all the beautiful things you have done for the chateau. I have watched lots of chateau restorations and have two favorites, you definitely are one of them. It literally broke my heart to hear that you were going to sell but realize that if your situation changes it is necessary. My only hope is that the chateau will be loved and the restoration continued. I know when that time comes I will miss you three very much and will always want the best for you and your family. Kudos to your family for all the wonderful work you have done. Thanks for the memories.
Thank you for this recap of your adventures restoring historic homes. We are long-time fans and have so enjoyed watching your progress on the chateau. You two and Beth are amazing. It's hard to believe you've accomplished so much so fast. We're looking forward to seeing what comes next!
Glad you enjoying it 😊
The salon is just stunning I had forgotten how dilapidated it was it is a tribute to all of your hard work and creativity
Thank you 😊
Thanks Carol :) in french canadian we said ' courage, vous y arriverez" investissement d'une vie, mais formidable. prend soin de toi, Adrian et Beth xx kiss kiss from CAnada
Thank you 😊
Lovely Carol!💕
Thank you! 😊
I build models and paint, watching you gold leaf the ceiling and the detail seeing the size brushes you are using, I am truly amazed. The work and the time does pay off but you need the patience of Job to do it 😂❤
Yes patience is the key word 😊
your amazing and very talented!!!❤
Thank you so much!!
Such a wonderful talented woman. Your vlogs are excellent 👌 enjoy your family so much. Keep going gal.
Thank you, I will
I feel like I have seen this before, but not sure. Still, nice to remember all the work. It is amazing how quickly as a viewer I move on to the next thing on your list and put the past renovation in the past. To be reminded of the effort in the salon, OMG, when you were working on it, I was just amazed by the hours you put in every day. I, like so many viewers will be sad to see the Chateau sell, but I do hope for a sale so you can spend more time with your family in England. Plus, I am sure you will look for a house that needs restoration!
Yes great memories!
Thank you Carol 🌹🇨🇦❤️ one more thing to the both of you I'm telling you when I was in a very dark moment in my life you all have inspired me.. to do the same thing in one of my bedrooms.. and I'm hoping someday one day I'll be able to come visit you all. God bless you 🙏❤️🌹
I’m so pleased 😊
And that salon is so perfect I wouldn’t change anything you have done nothing and that gold the curtains the cream colouring it’s so perfect I would love it minus the sofa bits look to uncomfortable for me that would be a leather sofa for me electric recliners all over blissimo. The lampshades perfect and that horse wow I love it the hallway perfect as well it’s beautiful yiu really have done it justice and the wallpaper wow it’s ten out of ten ❤
Oh thank you Angela 😊

Get your feet up un the garden this summer ❤ thanks for sharing ❤❤
Feet are up 😂
To renovate a Chateau, you must one thing MONEY 😂😂😂 .. you have a beautiful Chateau x

I was thinking, I know I saw this before, and now I realize it was on Beth's channel. It is all good. You all have come a long way. You and Terry will be selling tickets for tours yet! ❤
Thanks so much
Hey Carole and Adrian! Lovely video! It certainly is a testament to the work and love you have put into to bringing the Chateau back to its former glory. Amazing💕
Thank you so much!
Your other renos were beautiful as well! It is so much hard work - I know I couldn't do it. You guys are amazing!
Thank you so much!
That place is a palace!
Aw Carole, I love your last comment. I love yours and Adrian’s relationship. You know each other and it’s what makes the renovation work so well. ❤😊
So true!
I can't wait to see the Salon, The Grand Entrance and the Dining room decorated for the Holidays. What room is next? The Kitchen?
Unsure!
Patience and perseverance with love certainly comes through in all that you two have accomplished while undertaking the task of this renovation. A job well done! I've enjoyed being a part of your audience as I've joined your journey through the renovation. Love from the US.
Yes! Thank you!
I agree with you, the Salon is most amazing and grand! A job well done by both of you and the additional hands you've been able to entice to assist you.
Thank you so much!
Good job ❤
Well done... Loved the recap
Thank you 😊
Carole Adrian,I love this video, you have the most beautiful chateau of all, I appreciate your dedication and hard work,love you.❤️❤️🇺🇸

Our pleasure!
I wish you were on tube for all the previous projects!
You have done an amazing job.🎉
Thank you! 😊
Niente da eccepire ,siete bravi e basta ❤
As far as that kitchen goes. The posh fairy had better tap her wand in there quite a few times !! The kitchen needs needs more space. Lose that fireplace and fancy granite or marble countertops and modern fancy appliances !! Beautiful windows. You might need a money tree.
I just loved this. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks John 😊
Aaaawww!!😊 The very loveliest people with a GOLDEN touch Château de la Ferte is definitely Your Château ❤ Soooo much love and You has gone into making Yours ❤
Thank you 😊
I have so much admiration for you Carole and Adrian.
Thank you 😊
What a lovely journey. You have accomplished your dreams.. GBU
Thank you so much!
