A picture of a medieval castle would look nice. I liked the idea of a 'window' looking out over your land too..
I love the window idea. I have now officially binge watched the past 3 years of your life. Leaving me to brutally neglect my own remodel. Lol. As I see it, since you are only a breath away from 100,000 subscribers you are in a unique position in life. The world is invested in your chateau. If you could get the rooms finished there seems to be no limit as to the things you could do with it. Wedding destination, corporate retreats, etc. all this in the front house while you are nestled in the carriage house that you will, ultimately, turn into your own perfection. Maybe Beth could manage the entire thing. She seems to really love it and it’s already generating income through social media. CZcams is a strange thing in that you could skyrocket at some point soon. Your family has an appealing on camera presence. What I mean is that, we like you, we really like you. 😅 There are a zillion CZcamsrs who would give anything to have the following you do. Take those extra sponsorships and advertising opportunities. That beautiful chateau will just pay for herself and then some. These are just my humble opinions. I don’t mean to overstep. But I’m not finished learning construction from Adrian and, dear Carole, you have given me permission to use lots more gold and not care if my grown children don’t like it. Beth, you have done the most wonderful job of editing and growing this channel. I know how time consuming editing can be. In the end I just want to say “Take this opportunity and RUN with it!!!!!! Lastly, thank you for sharing these years with us. ❤
There’s never too much gold!! 😂. Thank you 😊
Painting the class shades green was a BRILLIANT idea! I really enjoyed seeing the transformation of the Battersea Power Station.
Glad you enjoyed it!
And Carole, such attention to detail -painting the glass shades! Wishing you all 100k soon!!
Thank you 😊
The painted lamp shades are SO nice 🥰
Thank you 😊

I like the Trompe-l'oeil, painting the window style from the chateau, showing the country side as it must have been when the chateau was bulit.
Love the stairway with the trompe l`oeil. it is the carole style.
I really like the idea of extending a form of the curtain pattern for the stairwell. It’s conservative and provides continuity. Just one man’s opinion.
Me too, looked really elegant.
Me too!
Yes I agree
Could even make the images larger!
I can see the painted green glass, love it.
I love the faux window!
A layer of light blue plaster on the stairwell would be very simple and elegant then add elongated black or gold wall sconces that light up and down.
Agree
Oh I like that idea a lot!
# 3 Matchin Carole's curtains print is my favorite print for the Stairway wall - I have the exact same bronze lamp shade direct to the right of the mirrored lamps Carole's eyeing. The stairway is a critical thought. Maintaining the beautiful theme/flow down the hall up the staircase of the elegant work you both did. Spectacular
#3 Chateau print might dwarf the fine exquisite details that have gone into this hallway flow? SO EXCITING the whole project
I’m so glad they kept that beautiful old building. Gold stars ⭐️ for Great Britain! 🇬🇧
(…and a beautiful light show!)
The window trompe-oeil like the one you showed in your thumbnail would be perfect. I loved that!
I love the original wallpaper idea. So classic and a full blend of beauty caring through the entire entrance. Everything is coming together so beautifully ❤
Thank you so much!
I love the idea of having “ views of the buildings, etc” in the trompe l’oeil framed by the example shown, at various levels as you climb the stairs. Glimpses of the past…..
Could these be done as “wallpaper” ? Does the wall curve as you climb up? If not, the various pictures from the past of the chateau buildings, etc. could be framed “ poster/prints”. Gold frames…of course. Pics all in black/white.
Love the image with the arched window with bird on ledge.
A trompe l'oeil seems the most chateauy solution to me. 🙂
Love that trompe-d'oeil with the dove.
12:15 I love the 30's Art Deco style of the power station as well. Fabulous!
Carole, you are so clever! I love the idea of painting your glass light shades! Perfect.
Thank you so much!
100.000!!! You are almost there guys!!!❤🙌🎉💐🍷🍾
Almost!!
@Just close your eyes and you will see more than 100.000!!!🙌❤️
Thanks for the trip to the powerhouse, I love old buildings, especially train stations. That was lovely Adrian. : )
Sincerely in San Diego California
Glad you enjoyed it
A window with a view of your property on the back wall would brighten up the stairway make people want to climb the stair case to look at it or maybe have some do a drone shot of your property Another thought! Like the the idea of like your looking through a window ! Thanks for another great video lots of different topics trip to london !
Awesome vlog! Happy Palm Sunday!
Thank you! You too!
Just a thought but....for said hallway/stairway wall....check out Chateau diaries...Stephanie had her fathers painting enlarged and made into wallpaper and she had manor and maker(Chateau owner) do all the computer work needed...again just a long winded thought....really enjoy your work
We will do it all in our printing company!
Watching on my Tablet and TV❤ Lovely lamps, Carol has such elegant taste!! I used Liquid Leaf on my French Provincial bedroom furniture over 30 years ago and it looks as good today as the day I finished it.
Good to hear! 😊
Putting a large scale photo filling a wall reminds me of McDonalds having local landmarks on the wall.
I’m Happy to sell burgers 😂
The pic would not cover the wall. Keep on eating at MacDonalds. I prefer quaint Parisian sidewalk cafes located on cobblestone streets winding through historical neighborhoods!
Yes I can tell the difference love the glass painted shades.I missed you guys.
Thank you! 🤗
I like the picture of the Chateau on the wall or the window idea on the wall would be real cool. And Adrian, I'm with u. That tower is too high for me, too ❤
That building is a deco masterpiece, glad it has been saved.
The landscape of the narrow trees, stylized would not compete with its surroundings, and look beautiful.
Thank you. ❤🎉❤🎉😊
The stairway has a few challenges:
1. It is open to all floors and from bottom to top.
2. It is dark.
3. It will be difficult to work on due to it being a very high stairwell.
4. It lacks visual interest.
I think you may want to be consistent from top to bottom since it is an open stairwell. That means whatever you choose would need to fit the decor of each floor's hallway, or at least not compete with each hallway's design.
Sources of light are needed. If you hang artwork, would there be some way to light the artwork? If you install a carpet runner up the entire stairway, could it be lighted and not look tacky? Sconces would be a given, which could change in design as you go up each level. Would be hard to find enough matching sconces to go all the way to the top.
Would it be possible to install faux paneling halfway up the stairway walls? Then you could paint, paper, or run a mural above the paneled areas. Paint would be the safest and easiest given the danger of trying to paper the stairwell. Might want to consider hiring professionals for help with this part, especially since someone has a fear of heights (myself included).
Whatever you choose, I'm sure it will be perfect and I can't wait to see it! Loved the fairies!
Hmmmmm do like the toile but stairway goes all the way up to top floor so same toile may not work for every palette, however if you continue with the paint color either the cream or light blue, keeping it a bit more neutral, you can accent with other accessories along the way up the stairwell. 😊😊
You could do a mural going up the stairs like château diaries did in the bathroom from a painting that Steve made in the wallpaper
I don't know how it will look, but that classical French wall papers, something tapestry like? With the scene of people sitting or walking in a park and forming little groups? You know those type of French wall paper? One not too busy that portray a calming, relaxing theme? And of course for real glamour that window arch of you as part of the scene? I you don't choose it, just show it to us on your fancy computer program? I love the jade shade at 3:44 painted on the wall, and onwards as it came through on the video as a colour scheme for the stairs also.
I LOVE the trompe du l`oel arched window of random countryside view idea.
Sometimes they did the entire wall faux stone work.
I love the idea of the toile wallpaper in the stairwell.
Hi there. I like the toile de jouy paper idea for the wall best. Best of luck with whatever you decide. It's a lot of work so I hope whatever you choose, you love it!
So do we!! 😊
I love the window idea. One with a view to the outside buildings would be so appropriate.😊❤
100% voting for a trompe l’œil window. It’s the best look by far.
I liked the photo of the trees in grey tones. It keeps the nature theme of the curtains but with a twist.
Love the Picture! It's so Carole!!!! WOW is enough said!
I personally like the blue wallpaper. More in Keeping with the chateau theme.
The repurposed Deco building the light dances were lovely.so glad it was saved.
The forest looks beautiful, but very modern, and Carol´s style seems to be classical. Not doubt you will found something beautifil to surprise all of your followers! Happy Easter!
I hope so and happy Easter too!
Adrian! I’m with you. That building is beautiful. They have done such a great job in it redevelopment. Keeping the original facade. And keeping certain elements raw and original internally. I was alway worried that they would knock it down and create apartments and boring buildings etc. it has prime real estate and looks wonderful. And can be looked upon for its beautiful architecture for hundreds of years to come. 🙌
I totally agree!
Loved the powerplant and the way they kept the integrity of the building. Thank you for the tour.
Our pleasure!
Fantadtic idea iv seen it another chateau The entire staircas is done only shades of beige cream etcfoliage trees etc With right content be STUNNING GOOD LUCK
Thank you 😊
I love the picture of the Chateau!!
I like going on little sidetrips with you as much as seeing the progress at the château. Thank you for balanced content.
Glad you enjoy it!
Love the grey colors for the the trees on the stairwell wall, and also the greys for the picture of the chateau. Beautiful ideas. I’m not fond of the blue toile pattern there, there’s -Plenty of that already.
The toile de Jouy is my favorite.
The trompe l'oeil is a close second.
I didn't care gor either of the other options.
However, I think the right trompe l'oeil would easily win my vote.
❤ from TX!
Love the chateaux or window on wall plus the beautiful mirrored lamps.
Hi Carole & Adrian...I love the idea of the Trompe-loeil. I wondered if you've given any consideration to hanging "Period Tapestries?" If any can be found that don't cost as much as the Chateau itself, lol. I know even knockoffs can be pricey but just a thought.😊. Btw...I love when you take us on downtown London field trips! Thank-you guys😉
Your welcome! 😊
Isn't it amazing that now you have a photo of a wall in your home and make it look anyway you want, before you actually do it. That is very clever! I also like the idea of painting it and then hanging beautiful photos and frames all the way up.
I'm sorry you didn't brave the lift--if You ever do decide, PLEASE stand in the center of the lift as it ascends (they have lights as you progress up the tube). Something surreal about when it pops up at the top and you see the horizon. I said the same thing about going (I do NOT do heights!) but felt OK about it because you never leave the lift. On another note, I liked the photo of the trees on the wall but I don't think the autumnal color schema (or grayscale for that matter) works--maybe spring bloom or frozen. Toile is always a winner! As a child, my mum put up a toile wallpaper in our dining room and I would spend many hours just studying the scene. Have a blessed Easter!!
Thank you and you too 😊
The window idea is fantastic, Whatever you choose but a view from your own property is a great idea ..move it over a notch and use that indent step for a pillar and vase of flowers or something to really add to the feel, We love everything you do...Thank you from Boston
I love it how the floor planks you restored into shelfs became after the sanding Adrian. Rebecca will be pleased with them,also because of they came out of the chateau.
Yes they now look great in her house!
Im on the ground woth yoy Adrian! Glad they kept the building as it is,,tx for my trip to London! Carol is good tour guide!! Like light show too! 🎉❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Make your own toile de jouy with images of the chateau and other details from your life. From a distance it would appear as any other pattern, but on closer look it's custom to you and the chateau.
I would paint the walls to match the rest of the hallway and hang a tapestry on a beautiful brass rod.
I liked the blue and white wallpaper. Elegant, looked lovely
Trompe l'oeil is the best!!
The image in your thumbnail is wonderful…a good blend of your blues and gold. Hopefully it’s not copyrighted. Perhaps you can edit the image out of the window pane and replace with your own. Love your concept..
What a huge improvement you made by painting those light shades green and the perfect tone to match the wallpaper.
Something like the curtain pattern but even more subtle. The staircase is kind of dramatic and seems like the center of attention. The wall treatment could complement but not draw away from the stairs. Just my two cents.
I think a mural of a forest scene that continues up several floors of the staircase would be nice with a trompe de oeil (fool the eye) effect of looking into a forest path would be stunning. Great for a chateau
That was an ENORMOUS power station. You dont realize the scope of building until your next to it. Love the architecture of it looks a lil art deco. Lovely glad they saved and preserved facad and re purposed its use
Oh I love the idea with just the pix of the chateau??? I like the window idea with the coach house from the property!!!! Love love love the three glass shades!!!! Carole you just have such a great talent just knowing what the chateau needs!!!!! Gives you the satisfaction of designing your own unique style!
Thanks so much!!
For the stairwell, no idea 😂 but lots of great options 🌟
The old power station looks like an art deco design. I love those old buildings. The redevelopment is fabulous 🌟
I can see a huge differance with the green shades! They are soo much better!
My choice would be a stunning wallpaper, not too busy, perhaps of a landscape scene, and paintings (not too large),could be hung along the walls going upstairs.
Amazing what a bit of paint can do. Love the lampshades.
The idea of a "window" on the staircase wall tickles me.
Wow! TFS the Light Show in London; truly spectacular. Once again I ❤ all your creative design experiments! I look forward to your stairway wall decision... Cheers again from Waldport, Oregon😊
Our pleasure 😊
Thanks for the power plant tour and England home lighting update. As for hallway, I am of two minds. I like the idea of a "window" but suggest that instead of using wallpaper (semi-permanet), use a backlit glass mosaic (moveable) of a outdoor scene. Of course, I would not want anything to compete with the multi storied light fixture. :-)
99.7k subscribers - nearly there. Love the walkies in London BTW. I remember seeing Battersea power station on my daily commute on the train
I also like the blue toile or the chateau image on the wall. Lovely lamp shades.
I loved the gray trees & felt the blue Toile was too distracting from the beautiful staircase & the nook. 💕 the show.. & all of your work!
I also like the idea of a picture of a window looking outside. I think the picture would be extraordinary and be an eye catcher as a person ascends the stairway. I mourn constantly that you are selling the chateau. I liked the pair of lamps you picked out at the antique shop. The night light fair was very nice. But your last picture of the ballerina butterfly in front of the sphere of lights was breathtaking. I still like your wow of gold. Maybe you could lead some ribbons of gold from the picture of a window up the wall to the gold accent around the doors. Any work you do to create, restore, or embellish is MUCH, MUCH appreciated by your viewers. To see you and Adrian in action is such a treat!!! Take care. Hello from Yakima, Washington, USA
Thank you Katherine 😊
Please consider hiring a Trompe l’oeil artist to match your Chateau’s style to a grand design in that space. Trompe l’oeil is an economic alternative to expensive decor, giving you spectacular views from luxury environments based on the mastery of perspective. A competent artist can create an illusion that will Wow you for years.
The light shades turned out nice. Much better. The butterflies are beautiful with the illumination. That place must have tons of shops.
Adrian, I am sure you will find the right print. However, Carole has to like it, and it can't be copyrighted.❤
Yes. Definitely a challenge but we’ll get there! 😊
Love your videos
Thank you 😊
Carole. I love ur green glass shades.❤ ur so creative 🎉
These shades look awesome in ur UK home.
Cant wait to see the stairway wall mural u choose😊
Thank you 😊
Ohh, please don’t put the old wallpaper back up. The white walls brightens up the space soo soo much. It looked so dark and dreary before
That is the perfect place for wallpaper but it must be bright and faintly colorful. White background with soft colors, vines with flowers ect.
I love the illusion of a window and with a picture of the coach house just awesome!!!
What a gorgeous old building-thanks for the tour.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good idea to paint the shades I would never have thought of it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
I thoroughly enjoy your journey. What skill and hard work! Thanks for sharing. With regard to the stairwell, I don't think you have found it yet. Keep looking!
Beautiful Editing Beth!! You've all been very busy and having fun too I see. Love the green kitchen lights! Thank you for filming some of the light show
You are so welcome!
Excellent idea painting the shades!
Thank you! 😊
Really ❤ the enlarged centered photo of the chateau…no copyright problem there!!! Love it on the staircase!!!❤
The power plant and illuminations are lovely. Thanks for sharing London with us! I really like the chateau picture in the stairwell. It makes kinda of a modern touch to a very classic interior.
Thanks so much! 😊
A great response for an iconic building x
This is a fabulous re-purpose of a beautiful building. Thank you for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Was there just 3 weeks ago. Stunning. And I feel the same- on right side operation room one can get up even higher. And on the glass balcony to see all the way down. I felt sick...
You guys are the best!!! Soooooo creative. Loved the green glass paint...who knew such a product existed. Carol you are a 'powerhouse' and have the most extraordinary ideas.
Thank you so much!
I like vintage pictures on that stairway. You go to so many beautiful antique stores. Maybe past pictures of the chateau and the grounds.
thank you for sharing
Our pleasure
Thank you for taking us on that outing!❤
Our pleasure!
Things are looking better and better.
