- An abandoned chateau room on the top floor gets a dramatic makeover! From start to finish, we show you the renovation of this small derelict bedroom in our French castle. From A to Z, this is how to create a sumptuous maximalist room in a small and dark space. Can dark colours really be used to make a small room look bigger?

ABOUT US:
Hello! I’m Vivienne, the châtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful (and wonderfully funny!) husband, Simon, our daughter, and -whenever possible- lovely friends and family.
This is not our first chateau! 23 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, nearly 2 decades, many happy memories, countless renovations, and several small fortunes later, we made the very difficult, empty-nesting decision to downsize. With great luck and perseverance, we found our current petit château, which we are now decorating and updating with love, humour, comfort, and -of course- antiques and art!
We adore France and its many unique facets: its people, culture, landscapes, wine, food, art, and history. We also love being surrounded by châteaux, both public and private, which we can explore together! After 20 years here, we have learned many things about living in France, renovating châteaux, and appreciating the extraordinary riches surrounding us. We originally decided to make these videos as a way to share our lives with our loved ones worldwide during the pandemic lockdowns. However, we soon realised that many others are at home alone, and it is our privilege to open our home to you, our new friends. We hope you will join us on our adventures in this exceptional location, and we look forward to sharing a little Château Love!

Beautiful jewel box ! Uniquely put together ! How fun. Well done !
What a lovely family you all are. Vivienne & Simon, all I can say is wow! That room is stunning! I love the red raspberry wallpaper, the bed crown, the curtains, the masks, and pictures of your daughter and her boyfriend, the mirrors, RUG, and that desk find on face book. What a beautiful piece of furniture to show off in the room. I wasn't sure about the mustard chairs either, but you pulled it all together, Vivienne, as well as all Simon's hard work. You both have such a talent in decorating. Thumbs 👍
Thank you, Michelle! You are always so kind. 🥰🏰💖
The room -
It is sumptuous and beautiful!
It's like you had a vision in your mind. And with a lot of hard work and inspired beauty you brought it in to being! So inspired & well executed.
I am so glad for you, that you had that break with family in lovely Florida.
The water ways in that garden park gave me some inspiration for my small garden in Perth, Australia. 👩🦳 💡
The room you could say is small but mighty! Beautifully done , I absolutely love the blue velvet, the wallpaper, gold chairs. 🦋
The bedroom turned out beautifully. You and Simon did a wonderful job in the decorating and wallpaper. Your mom is just as beautiful as you!
What a wonderful reveal! You truly created a little jewel box with so much charm! Well done! 💗
Absolutely beautiful!! Everything just flows. Well done Vivienne and Simon. I can't wait to see what you do next!
The new room is elegant, beautiful but also very welcoming!! You did an outstanding job on it!! Thank you for sharing.
I am utterly unsurprised that your raspberry red garret is a lovely addition to your many successes. It's fun to watch all the stages of the process and then to hear how you selected various accoutrements to enhance the final product. I also applaud your approach in this video of cutting back and forth with a beatific trip to Florida, USA with your sister and mother. Your love touches everything you do! it's noteworthy!
Thank you so much, Elizabeth! 🥰🏰💖
No one could’ve done that room better. It’s beautiful.❣️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Certainly a jewel that you’ve created with all the color combos and furniture decor, spectacular rug and very clever curtain drape for that window! A crowning achievement!
Vivienne and Simon - yountwo work miracles. I’m stunned not only with the transformation, but how much you footed into that little jewel of a bedroom. The rug was genius. It both brightens the room and makes it look more spacious.
Congratulations on another neautiful accimplishment👍
Vivienne, after your winter, a break with the Family seems the perfect Rx. Enjoy.
Wondering 🤔what you two will tackle next, This was so fun.🤩
Thank you, MaryAnn! xxx
Vivienne, this is my favorite room now in your fabulous chateau, so much fun in one room classy and elegant your guests are very lucky indeed.
That room is BREATHTAKING!
You always told me..."Mom, when decorating a small room, don't go "tiny and "poky"...go large! Well, you sure have proven that! The room is beautiful! I loved our time together and I miss you so much already!
I miss you too, Mom! And how great to see you commenting!!!! I love you. 🏰 ❤️ 😍 😘
Oh my!! You have done it again Vivianne, the room is absolutely stunning!!❤ I would happily stay there!!
You turned this odd, dingy room into an exquisite little jewel box. The combination of decorative elements came together beautifully...even the mustard chairs! The window treatment is a brilliant idea! I've never seen anything like it.
The wall paper is exquisite....and you and Simon have done a marvelous job. BRAVO!
The room is absolutely magical! Love, love every bit of it. Well done you two!😍
Your interior design skills are perfection. You and Simon work very hard to do projects. I'm a fan of both of you.
Thank you so much! Big hugs!! 🥰🏰💖
The newly renovated bedroom is a triumph! So much my jam! Such a bold and fearless choice of color. This little jewel box is fantastic. Love to see the Fam. Thanks for the treat!
The bedroom is so regal. Splendid job!
Well done Simon and Vivienne! The raspberry room is absolutely beautiful!👏
Very sumptuous. It is perfect. The room looks so much bigger than it did to start with.
Small jewel box filled with charm. Lovely!

Great to see you looking so well Vivienne. The room is a triumph!
Absolutely adorable the room became! So much inspiration for others to keep on trooping away at our projects ! Thank you Vivienne !
The bark of the rainbow gums looks best in the rain when it’s wet. Throw some water on the bark next time you’re there.
Glorious Bedroom Renovation fit for a Chateau ❤
It’s a jewel box of a room - so opulent yet comfortable. The rug is perfection. You did such a good job decorating this room. Brava!!!
Wow. Another amazing room. You are so clever with your decorating and the colours you have chosen draw the eyes into the room and make it look much larger when you compare the before and after photos. Simon and Vivienne you make a great team. 😊🌷
The rug is an absolute triumph xxxxxxx
I love the colors in this room. The rug, the wallpaper and the beautiful bed really came together. Congratulations, you nailed it!
What a beautiful bedroom! Your videos get better and better!
Hello from the Missouri, us. I've visited that place many times, usually in February when the school I taught at would close for 10 days. My late husbands parents lived in Sebring and we'd drive over to see the gardens. I couldn't get enough of them. They are treasures.
Wow! That room is fit for a queen. Amazing work!
The room is like a jewelrybox, I love it. It may not be the largest room in your beautiful chateau, but it is so warm and inviting. Job well done!
Absolutely stunning, magnificent job! Your style is incredibly beautiful!
Vivienne, what a masterpiece for anyone who has French DNA, Lover of Beauty & Style❤️🇫🇷❤️. Heart warming and Pure Fun, 🎉Bravo 🎉, thank you for sharing with us another delicious adventure. Sending love and hugs from a home on the beach in New Jersey!
Oh thank you, Candy! 🏰💖
The wallpaper, the tapestry, the cushions and could go on. So beautifull
Vivienne why did I get all emotional at the end when you and your sister were sitting in the chairs joining hands and also all together in a huddle with your mum? It was an ‘ahhh’ moment because you are such a beautiful family and you exude the love you have for each other. Thank goodness for the bloopers (?) and fun bits after that!😅 The bejeweled bedroom is just perfection and - sorry Simon - I even mean down to the gold chairs! I remember you buying them and thinking ‘Well I’ve been there, (1970’s), done the gold thing with golden toned carpet, not for my house today, but in a Chateau - YES.’👏❤️🙏🏻
Oh, thank you Christine! You are very sweet. 🥰🏰💖
Oooh! I love silk velvet! You wouldn't think the silk would make that much difference, but it sure does!
Just stunning, you were right that rug couldn't be more perfect.
Hi Vivienne & Simon, Thanks for a tour of the Sunken Gardens and the reveal of the new attic bedroom. You have a great eye for turning a sows ear into a silk purse. Mark & Scott
Spectacular! You have a really talent for envisioning the possibilities in a boring little room. Thank you for sharing your process! BRAVO! 👏👏👏👏👏👏The Florida trip looked delightful! Beautiful sunsets. 🌅 Love from Toronto 🇨🇦💜😊
This is perfection! The rug lightens the bold raspberry wall paper and blue and gold jewel tones! ❤❤
The room looks wonderful. Looks like you had great fun with your sisters. 😉👍🏻
Vivian... I don't think "grubby" is a word any of us chateau hoppers think when watching you!
I'm just so happy you are feeling well again.
Thank you so much. 🥰🥰🥰🏰💖
Absolutely love the "Raspberry" room & every detail!! This would be the room I would want to stay in!! It looks so cozy & welcoming!! Well done, Vivienne & Simon!! 🇺🇸
Vivienne the bedroom is just magical, I think it's just beautiful. Can't wait to see what's next. Hugs, Kathy USA 🇺🇸
Good decision painting out the closet wall in the raspberry. And the royal blue, at first , seemed jarring, but with the tapestry, ushions and accessories, looks nicely balanced. Well done!
The room looks so much bigger now! Terrific job as always.💗💗
I love the mustard chairs the most! The whole room is lovely. I love that you are gutsy! Beautiful…❤
The bedroom is absolutely gorgeous 😍😍😍What an incredible transformation. Love the jewel tones, the rug and the tapestry. The gold chairs really work. Dolphins are such beautiful creatures. My husband and I got to swim with many years ago. Such an incredible experience. You and Simon are the design dream team 😍😘
Oh my! You swam with the dolphins? That’s a dream of mine!! Big hugs, Rosemarie!! 🥰🏰💖
The room is gorgeous! I love everything your did. The rug is perfect for the space and it is really cozy,
Congrats on a job well done💕
So beautiful a treasure trove of jewels is, the room.
the room is gorgeous - and inviting
🩷✨what a stunning jewel.
I wasn't sure I was going to like the the woodwork painted in the dark color but I absoltely LOVE it and am loving the white painted arched window, that just made it all go together so tastefully! Thanks for the tour!
It should be against the law to have so much talent in one family!!!
Oh, Nancy, you are too kind! xx
Love the Pink fabric on the walls of the bedroom. Such an absolutely lovely room! Cannot believe how you and Simon have done and are doing such a fantastic job with the renovating. You always smile and make it look so easy. I know your arms must get very tired for sure!
Must say I loved the Royal Blue which truly popped and the Gold furniture was perfect! Looked so regal.
St Petersburgh Florida is a place my dad always wanted to live or at least at the least visit once more and my mom just would not go. He loved it from the time he had been there when in the army in the U.S.A. and during World War 2. He was blown out of the hole(In North Africa) with his buddies, and they all did die. He lived but was left for dead for two weeks. his calf was blown out. It is on the papers he brought home. My mom was told he died, but then they had to tell her he really was alive and found and he did survive and then I was born. But he never did make it back to St Petersburgh Florida. It looks like it is so lovely! So nice Simon's parents live there, and you get to go back to visit.
Enjoy all the travels and how you are doing over your own Chateau and just cannot believe how much you both do and seem to enjoy it totally. Enjoy seeing your daughter Isabella and her boyfriend and your sister too, from time to time! Thank you both for all you do!
Hi Carole, what an amazing story! Thank you so much for sharing it. I’m sorry that your dad never made it back, but also happy that my little vlog reminded you of him. It sounds like you and your mom were very lucky in many ways. It brings me joy that my small experiences can bring others along to places that they cannot visit, as I too enjoy being an armchair traveller! Big hugs. 🥰🏰💖
I would definitely stay in this lovely room to discover Loire Valley and my ancestry. Thx for FL. I lived there in the 60s. ❤❤🎉
MAGNIFICENTLY done!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nailed it!!! Wow, didn't realize you're working your way to 8 rooms! Definitely this room could be venetian. Oh and curtain treatment is ingenious. Ahahahaha poor Simon; you're having a wonderful time! Thank you for sharing, xo hugs to Simon who has accepted the gold chairs.
Thank you, Mary Jane! Simon sends his hugs back to you. xxxx
Perfection! The rug pulled everything together. ❤
Who said you cant make a silk purse from a sow's ear? A tiny treasure of a room, gorgeous!
Hahaha! Actually, Simon said that very thing!! Thank you! 😂😂😁🏰💖
I love the bedroom, my dear Vivian, it's an absolute success!! A truly enchanted space, a jewel box with gorgeous Louis XVI style wallpaper, beautiful royal blue velvet curtains and bed hangings. Lovely carpet in Aubusson style, really befitting the room and a very refined desk too. Bed is absolutely lovely as well. I n all a real Château feeling and atmosphere you have created. A dingy room turned into a luscious space you want to be in! Châpeau!!!
Thank you so much. You are so kind! 🏰 ❤️
So beautiful! Perfection. I just wondered what is behind the door next to the bed. Loved the gorgeous flamingos, stunning foliage and rainbow eucalyptus. Wow! So lovely to see the 3 lovely ladies out and about. So precious. ❤
Hi Andrea, the door next to the bed is a walk-in closet! 😁🏰💖
@@ChateauLove aha… thought so! Lucky folk who get to stay in that gorgeous room! X
Absolutely STUNNING, Vivienne 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Truly a jewel box. The drapery treatment is so clever. It's interesting that the room actually looks bigger furnished than it did empty. Like Simon, I wasn't a fan of the chairs but have to admit they are perfect!
I have never seen such a tree and I don't live that far from Florida. Wow!
Beautiful family. Beautiful bedroom. This vlog is a reno triumph! Stunning space and design choices! 🎭
I loved how you mixed your trip in to showing us the room reveal. The room is amazingly opulent and yet at the same time cozy and welcoming. Anyone would be lucky to spend a night in it.
The bedroom is over the top gorgeous! Especially those fab chairs and ottoman!
What a head banger of a room, it’s pretty. Not over the top considering the size of the room. Yes, I noticed!
Gorgeous room.I love how you've created a space to remind you of your trip to Venice.
A book on Venice on the desk maybe?
Im sure your guests will love it.❤
I was surprised by the bed placement....but love it! The room looks so much bigger and cozy.
Wow what a reveal a real royal room fit for a King and Queen or a Venetian Doge. Such a pretty carpet those colours. I do like that the bed has its own alcove and the sitting area is separate too. The trunk of the eucalyptus tree just looks as if someone has painted it its so beautiful. Your Mama must be very proud of her 2 girls. Simon and you definitely have the decorating flair.💯👌🤗
Thank you, Irene! 🥰🏰💖
Love your choice for the small bedroom Vivienne. So rich and cozy. Such a treat to stay there
Another gorgeous room... you certainly do have an artist's eye, Vivienne. I'd love to see a reminder of all the rooms you have completed to date - such a satisfying job very well done.
Gorgeous, beautiful room very Royal looking..I just love it ..😊👍💯🇨🇦💞
That room is a masterpiece……placing the bed by the closet was the answer. Very nice.
Beautiful and cozy room. Great job!
That wallpaper is the star for me. One of the most beautiful papers I have ever seen. And the colour is stunning.
How very lovely the room looks! Great design!
Wow! I love everything about this room, especially the 70s chairs 😁
Wow! You were able to get a lot of Beautiful things in that room. Well appointed and well done. I especially liked the beautiful rug.
Beautiful! You are all so talented. I’m so glad that these wonderful chateaus are getting the attention and renovations that they deserve. Keep the history alive for ourselves and everyone coming after. ❤️🙏
That wallpaper is amazing. Just gorgeous.
I wasn't sure about the blue at the begining, but it looks amazing! Well done!
A welcome watch, thank you happy lady 😊.
The bedroom turned out beautiful!! I love the gold chairs in there!
Oh my goodness! My family home is Snell Isle. Are we neighbours? Your day trip, 22nd Ave NE. Sunken Gardens is a remarkable place. When I take UK friends home for New Years, we always pop in to Sunken Gardens and to the galleries along Beach Drive. Your day trips with Stephanie at Laland have a treat to watch. Congratulations upon completing this featured bedroom decor.
Love love the wall paper gorgious❤👏👏👏💐🇨🇦
The bedroom is extravagant & royal. A beautiful transformation. Love the details of the masks, mirrors & ornate lamps. The carpet is magnificent. Well done. Your trip to Florida with flamingoes, dolphins and an incredible sunset were just amazing. ❤🦩🐬🌅
Thank you so much, Martine! 🏰💖
