I think we should all just take a moment to realize and appreciate how Anna painted an entire chateau with one hand.. props to you and well done 👏
Yeah, I was amazed, she basically painted the entire château…
I think we all should just take moment to be impressed she handpainted tiles and made her own wallpaper.
I wonder what a third person thinks we all should just do.
I think we should equaly appreciate that Phillip dug and install most of the sewage system as well. It´s not something pretty to look at or that you even notice but if it wansn´t there you would 100% notice it. Always important to ackwoledge the "invisible" work that almost never gets praised
I fireplace should have stayed in kitchen...transform it maybe but it was homier but could have fit in with kitchen concept...my thoughts only....but brillant overall
@@janekahn8562 I agree 100%. I did love the hand painted tiles, but at the same time I really disliked the white over natural wood cabinets and the lower wood paneling and also the center island. Those all gave it a certain homey feeling that I think a kitchen should have. So far that's the only room of the house where I think they totally blew it but the rest I think is a stunningly beautiful work of art.
I am particularly struck with how, over the years, you have both emphasized humor, love of your family and friends, love of the project, and love of beauty and creativity, and an adventurous spirit. This is truly living "the good life!"
i also wouldn't want to be buying that chateau if ever they sell it, because of the "funny" not measuring properly, i wouldn't want to deal with that
@@queenraven007 Queen Bean (lol) no one thinks you live inside a house
@@queenraven007 please refrain from making any further comments you are being a troll
@@queenraven007That is a very odd thought .It would probably not occur to anyone but yourself
Y’all have done SO much in 5 years. The kitchen is still my favorite transformation. It’s so beautiful and calm. The blue tiles behind the range are just perfection.
Mine too. I just can’t take it all in. Such a huge space - made so warm, cozy and classy. Gorgeous
Yeah kitchen is so beautiful
The kitchen is the kind of interior that makes me wonder why buy an old house if you’re going to try dress it up to be modernist
I liked how they did different rooms in different colors...but the kitchen was not it. They basically drained any warmth and color from it. The hand-painted tiles are cute - but they don't pop out in an all-white kitchen. They should have added some color to it, it's wayy too gray.
How on earth do they access the upper cupboards? They need one of those antique library stairs, with casters for moving around. lol
The fact that she hand painted her own tile and created her own hand printed wallpaper is just astounding to me! ❤
As a retired remodeler and new home residential builder I am truly blown away by this project! The amount of hours, planning, decision making, measuring, fabricating, delivering, installing, painting then the hard part paying for it all is absolutely brilliant hats off to all involved job well done! I am especially pleased to see a couple have the energy and finances to save one of these once grand now forgotten estates back to it's new found glory to be passed on to future generations to enjoy. Many thanks and God Bless the two of you!
Your transformation of the Chateau is elegant, light, and airy. It is easy to see you gave it so much thought and care.
Thank you! Cheers!
@@tomsanderson6492Easy, it's the opposite of stuffy
Oh my gosh. EVERYONE who has touched this renovation has left a piece of them there. Each person has added to the astoundingly divine work of art entailed.
I've said this again but I'll say it again, thank you so much for the way you did the renovations.
First of all, the amount of work you've put into the château is insane (Anna, you've painted almost an entire château by yourself 😄). And I'm so thankful about what you've done with this château from my native region. Thank you so much for saving it, and doing so using local technics, artisans, materials and all.
Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Merci infiniment.
Bonne année à vous cinq (on n'oublie pas Ziggy) !
Happy New Year to all of you, I hope you achieve all the beautiful and meaningful things you have in mind! Thank you so much for being part of our journey, this wouldn't be possible without you!
Looking forward to seeing your renovation plans for 2024. Best wishes for the New Year
Happy New Year from NL, Canada...
Happy New Year beautiful family! Congratulations for a magnificent renovation! 💖💖💖💖
Happy new year Anna and Philip, may 2024 kicks off with a bang and hope that your channel becomes even more successful. xx
Happy New Year from British Columbia, Canada ❤
Surely one of the most beautiful of all the chateaux. Decorated with skill, sophistication, talent and restraint. Well done. It has been a joy to see you work so creatively with such dedication.
I can’t believe I’ve been watching your journey for five years. I’m, once again, blown away by your amazing creativity, Anna. Well done you two.🤗🇨🇦
We cheer people on who are not afraid of hard work. Your taste and attention to detail is admirable! Wishing you greatest success.
Love makes the work so worth it. Soon it will all be behind you and these memories will warm all future generations and showcase how brilliant you and your talented carpenters and craftsmen were. I just realized, I've been with you since the beginning, and like a proud mom/friend... I am so proud of you both. Amazing transformations!!
It is remarkable how much hard work and love that you have put into this home. Happy New Year.
Happy new year!
When artist and crafters really go "ALL IN!!". Beautiful design!!🤓💜
Watching this transformation, five years of sweat, tears, laughter and yes, once or thrice blood shed and bee stings, is a testament to your courage, tenacity, patience and powers to persevere. It is also a showcase of your vision, talents and skills. Together you are a force to be reckoned, a truly incredible couple. All this while nurturing and raising two delightful daughters. I am in awe of you and also very thankful that you had the presence of mind to record the process
Wow!!! What an amazing editing job, Philip! Anna, you are a super star designer! Congratulations on such a gorgeous home you have created! Tough tough work!! Gold star! 😅 Happy And Prosperous New Year love from 🇨🇦
You both have done a fantastic job restoring the chateau!!! Happy New Year!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
All this with two young kids and a puppy. You two are superheroes. The kitchen is my favorite!
What you have achieved in 5 years is remarkable, in work ethic, growing a community to help support your project and inspiration. Thank you for sharing the journey with humour, candour and tenacity! It's always a joy to watch your posts and encourages me in my own mammoth renovation project when my spirits are flagging. Onwards in new adventures in 2024.
So much work! What a beautiful home you’ve made! I have to admit Anna’s handmade wallpapers blow my mind the most, so gorgeous. ❤. Looking forward to your 2024 videos. 😊
WOW! WOW! WOW! Completely stunning. Every single room is an absolute masterpiece. I love all the unique and personal touches you’ve added with the tiles and the hand done walls. You’ve absolutely taken my breath away. BRAVO!
This is the greatest love story ever! So many couples fail when they attempt to put ikea together! I love your channel so much and with all of the humor and love you have for yourselves and those helping you make this dream come true ❤
I've seen plenty of renovations/restorations in my day (I'm 79) but this is, by far, the most beautiful one I've ever seen. Absolutely gorgeous, par excellence, beyond words. So much old world craftsmanship and dedication to their art. Looks like a labor of love. Thank you. My only criticism is that the video was too short. I could have watch one for another hour. Bravo and kudos to all!!!
I also would have loved a longer video! 😁😉
What you have managed to do within that time is always amazing. We have only been part of it for the last 3 years. So looking forward to your vlogs in 2024. The long houses is something I am waiting for. Happy New Year 🎉 to you all.
Congratulate yourselves on a monumental amount of work achieved. You are one of few channels that really plows through the renovations without all the drama and other carry on and your style is more in keeping with my own aesthetics rather than a chaotic mismatch of crazy patterns and colours.
Happy new Year. Have a well deserved rest.
Thank you very much! Happy New Year to you!
I'm utterly amazed by what you've done in 5 years. I'm 20 years into restoring a 1900s terrace house and am no where near as far a long on a much small project. Cogratulations! It's stunning. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us.
48 yrs in the building and restoration trade here in th US.
amazing job for such a daunting task at the beginning.
perseverence is a gift not many people posess, this I am sure at times has been the ultimate test of it. love the colors and style and you my dear are one painting woman!!
congrats on such a beautiful restoration, may you enjoy it for the remainder of your lives and your children beyond!!
I have enjoyed your renovation adventure. All the characters: Funny Phillip and Benoit and beautiful artist and talented Anna and the adorable girls. Just wonderful. Everyone who has helped you, including your lovely parents. I’ve enjoyed it all. The chateau is shining with pride like a pony who’s been groomed before a ride. Proud as a peacock. Beautiful. Thank you both. Best best wishes for a wonderful 2024! 🎉👏🎉❤️👏❤️🎉❤️👏🎉👍👏🎉👍
This is huge. I hope you feel as much in awe as I do watching this. You have transformed a stone to a glistening gem. It is so inspiring. I have followed you from the beginning, but seeing this condeced is just like, wow, how on earth did you make all this in this time period? Amazing, you have done such an amazing journey through this renovation. Happy New Year to you and your family and Benoit!!
OMG a renovation with small children, and ceilings that go on forever. I am awestruck at the amount of hard work and attention to detail that must of gone in to this renovation. And of course from watching numerous amounts of simple renovations the budget always fly's out the door. Just absolutely beautiful and brilliant renovation, fit for royalty.
you can tell in every step of the way how much passion, dedication, and love is put into this project. honoring the history of the building with design choices to glorify its age while bringing fresh new colors to it. the attention to detail in every bit of it is inspiring; the handcrafted art in the tiles and on the walls are beautiful. soooo gorgeous!!!!
Your artistry and skill are amazing. And it's nice that Philip helps, too. 😂 Best wishes for year 6 in the chateau. 🎉 🍾
Stunning, absolutely stunning … the transformation in 5 years. What a tremendous journey you’ve taken us all on. Phillip, I think you’ve almost earned your sail boat! You, too, Anna. Watching from PA, USA.
How far you guys have come in the past 5 years! Congratulations, and may 2024 bring even more joy, laughter and adventure to your family!
What a talented couple. Exquisite taste, bravery, persistence and humor have all paid off. Not only does the chateau look phenomenal, but also you have patiently documented the process so well.
Absolutely just perfectly beautiful ! I watch about 25 chateau vlogs...and have for many years...its my opinion and choice that YOURS is the most attractive and interesting...the personalized touches, the ART of Anna's is exactly my "cup of tea". Great job - long and hard work, as I've seen, but the results of course well worth it...Ella and Lily will one day watch this vlog and appreciate it so much to see and know how hard you both worked - and grandparents also - to create a home and a mansion to be passed on to those girls and their families. I enjoy you both - Phillip is a "mess" (in Virginia, where I was born and raised, this saying "a real mess" is a COMPLIMENT to how much fun, and how enjoyable, how having a great personality equals to having an individual that people t want to be around...and say "nice to meet you Phillip, come and sit by me" whenever possible.) Anna, how you interact with his personality is perfect...just let it go, have a look, and we can see that you enjoy the banter. Your children also...thats "Pop". Carry on and I'll be here watching, laughing outloud even when alone..lol.lol I'm 74 years young...Love and Hugs
Thanks for your kind words and happy new year!
And Ella and Lily have such wonderful models of hard work and humor!
Absolutely remarkable beyond belief! The detail work is amazing! You all should do a vote in the future on which room is everyone's favorite! Which one is yours? Personally I love the kitchen because it took a very long time and was very complicated, love the painted stove tiles! I also love the boot hallway. The colors and wallpaper are so elegant and beautiful! Thanks for taking all us along for the ride!!!!! Your fan in Colorado USA :) :)
I dont know but I've always enjoyed renovations like this. Everything was gorgeous but the kitchen!!! it's superb. The backsplash tile that you manually painted really complimented
I have been tuning in to see the progress of this house over the past few years. What an incredible amount of work by Anna and Philip. They are another reason for tuning in because they are so charming. Especially Philip with his humour. It's so satisfying to see the completion of each room and the amazing creativity of Anna with the wall paper and painting designs. Well done!
I can't believe I have been watching for 2 1/2 years now!!! My the time has flown! Hears to another wonderful year watching you and your family's good humor and adventures! I know Phillip is hoping the new yaer brings him a shiny new boat!
Your beautiful chateau is a testament to your hard work, patience, skill and artistic flair! Well done. Happy new year to you all 🥰
That truly is an amazing undertaking and accomplishment. I was watching home renovations and this popped up on my feed. What I liked was the five years packed into 21:33 minutes. Sometimes a lot of these videos while amazing in themselves, are over 1-2 hours long. To capture the essentials in their brevity is an achievement in itself. Congratulations and all the best with your future plans. God bless from Fiji.
I am impressed by the incredible attention to detail, and maintaining the integrity of the building, while bringing in fresh colours and decor, without detracting from the original. Stunning, absolutely gorgeous.
Incredible transformation! You two are the epitome of hard work and determination. You have created the most beautiful home for your lovely family. Well done!!! 👏👏👏
I don't know why, as I'm certainly not unaccustomed to impressing others with our own brilliancy, but this video made me cry, cry from being overwhelmingly impressed! Your kitchen especially, I'm taking notes for our own newbuilt house coming up, and I have a background in kitchen design! So so looking forward to see how your bathroom turns out...I already know I'll be taking more notes😅 Really well done, seriously!❤
That was one of the most amazing home renovations I have ever seen ...an incredible labor of love!
Can't believe it's been 5 years. Thanks for letting us come along. I love what you've done with the place! Wishing you all a very happy new year!
Amazing. I’ve been with you since the beginning of the second year. You are both so gifted and talented. Your dedication and inspiration is Above. I can’t even pick a favorite room because each is done to perfection. I pray when you reopen that you are booked and rewarded for your hard efforts.
The dedication, the patience, the skill, the artistry... it all comes together beautifully because it's done with love. I hope this video helps you yourselves see what you've accomplished.
Happy New Year! 🎉🥂
It is so amazing to see how far you have come already! I love your content and am so grateful for the internet to allow me to watch from my own living room. Thank you for producing fabulous content.
You did so much more than renovate this place. The custom made wall stamps and hand painted kitchen wall tiles, all these "little" touches really take it to the next level.
This is amazing! Your Chateau is one of my favorites. It’s clean looks are simple and beautiful, I love the colors used in the rooms and especially the hand painted bathroom walls. Great job!👍😎❤️
I have to say…. I got a little emotional watching this retrospective….you’ve done a fantastic job! Proud to be a patron! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey! Can’t wait to see what 2024 brings. You guys are awesome!!! Happy new year!!!!
I love how your videography skills also improve in the five years!
MONUMENTAL amount of work. Well done.
I'll give a huge shout out to all the men who have done all the hard construction work to bring this Chateau back to life. Nobody else seems to acknowledge them.
What a magnificent result! A renovation done with style, elegance and good humour…..a recipe for success. Congratulations and happy new year to you all.
What an amazing vlog. Anna your design and style and commitment to excellence shines through every room. Phillip you are not afraid to tackle anything, even if you have to redo, you're remarkable. I love the glimpse into your Reno that you afford all of us. I feel privileged to join in every week. The humor has been off the chart. You have an epic chateau on your hands.
The dictionary does not contain enough adjectives to describe this amazing transformation!!! Congratulations and Blessings on a wondrous 2024~
The hand painted bathroom and the boot room wallpaper are stand out! Beautiful work Anna. Happy new year everyone ❤
You have done a great job. Happy New Year to you all.
My favorite part of this reno is the custom details designed by your wife. The tile, the wallpaper, the gate! Especially that kitchen tile 😍😍😍
I love how the renovation of these wonderful chateaux is allowing the artisan trades to flourish and the tradesmen to maintain/refresh their unique skills.
Wow! The amount of work and love you have put into to your home is amazing and truly inspiring! You have done a magnificent job! Love watching your channel! Thank you for sharing your life with us!
So much work! It's stunning, just as I know the master will be. I hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas!
I was amazed from the start but yall really blew me away with those hand painted tiles. Thank you for respecting the integrity of this beautiful home and putting so much love into it!
Two amazingly gifted people especially as they have two small children when first starting the chateau .The design element is beyond words ,beyond compare /
May you and your family live a wonderful life in this truly spectacular astoundingly beautiful home.
Happy New Year Anna, Phillip Lili and Ella! May 2024 bring you health, strength and creative energy to continue your chateau renovation journey! You have done an incredible job! Thank for sharing it with us! You are an inspiration and a lovely family!
Happy New Year! 🎉🥳Over the years as I watched you and your family and channel grow, I’m grateful that you gave us the opportunity to be part of all you do.

I just started to watch you guy's two years ago. You were still thinking about the plans for the kitchen. You were working on the front and back yards. What a lot of work! Keep up with the good work! Keep on Trucking like we use to say back in the 70s!
Wishing you a Happy New Year as well. Thank you for taking us along with you on this incredible journey. Hard to believe it has been five years but I have enjoyed every step of the way.
It’s been inspiring to watch. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Happy New Year!

Can't wait to see the master suite this year and all else you have in store. Best wishes. To your good health, love, joy, and accomplishments in 2024 ✨️

With every good wish that completion of the hard work sees the rest of your life as a dream fulfilled and lived each day!

The hand-painted bathroom mural is dreamy.
