Lesa & Ted here, since our move to France in 2020 we have been renovating an abandoned medieval chateau in rural France, using our creative skills to up-cycle as much as possible and with the small budget of 80k we will show you how, against the odds, we made it happen. All of the magic happens here at the workshop in the ancient Realis De Poste.. So join us for some of our money saving projects that has helped us to succeed. You can also join us for the full renovation of the entire estate from the day we collected the keys on our other channel @chateaudemontmagner

Here at the workshop we are passionate about up cycling and reusing old materials to show you that a small budget can stretch a long way. Today we are working on 3 sets of the windows from the Templar suite in the chateau, some just need a good clean up and new putty, but the rest need re-glazing. With 46 windows in the chateau and the cost of €1,000 per window, if we were to have them made, it...

In March 2020 we purchased an abandoned historical monument in France, with a small medieval chateau, farm buildings, acres of land, a lake and the old Relais De Poste. With no previous experience in renovation and just a small budget of €80,000 , We want to show you how we were able to transform the chateau into a thriving business and save a historical building from crumbling to the ground.

Great idea & good job! Suggestion- make several drain holes in the bottom before cement sets. This is better for the plants when you water them!😊
Really good job. Personally I dont like the burnt wood look, but the craftsmanship and care you put into this are A1.
you are a true crafts man people can learn so much from watching you work a fantastic job
Love it Lesa, wonder if you could create some kind of stencil or pattern unique to the chateau that you could mould into the outside.
Lisa, I love the planter you made. I think it is perfect for the cottage to add beauty to the window sills. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
this is so amazing !!!!
super beautiful !!!!
🌟👏👍🍀💐
👏👏. It turned out really nice and goes so well on the window sill. I wasn’t sure at first when you wanted to paint it, but as usual Lesa was correct 👍👍. I think it will need a couple of drainage holes, maybe put them in whilst the cement is wet? Annie & Brian
Using Yougert with moss blended into it. Paint on containers for a natural look.
Love the planters they will look amazing in the arches.
I think it turned out fine and really nice quality stuff you might get local orders for more of them who knows ;) well done Lesa not surprised it went well
Well done I like you painting it 🇫🇷🇺🇸
Encore une réussite félicitation , congratulation
When I lived in nz we dug up loads of broken china in gardens, which I set in concrete paving rounds. Plastic bag inside a bucket as mould then topped with a sort of mosiac pattern
Good job
It looks great
Looks good, could you add a stamp onto the outside of the planter for the chateau?
It looks great! For the next one, perhaps a couple of drainage holes on the bottom would be good idea.
Drainage holes?
Nice job!
You need thinner gloves for crafts
Big bravo ! I'm going to do the same thing in my garden and I wait tour vidéo on your other project of waterfall
Great result ❤
Might want drainage holes in planter.
That looks brilliant…I bet Tim Holtz never thought his sprays would be used for something like that. 💖💖💖
❤🇱🇺❤🇱🇺❤🇱🇺❤🇱🇺❤🇱🇺❤😊
Don't forget a drainage hole lol works well 😊 there are heaps you can create 😅
That turned out great! And will be sturdy with the wire mesh inside!
Pouring old yogurt over it & it will age itself.
Well done Lesa! Looks like it belongs there!
May be some drain holes in bottom,just use a bit of pipe 😊🇦🇺
🔨🔨
Love it
Drainage holes may be good, but for a small planter like this with stones in the bottom should be good as long as you don't over water. It will save watering every day unless it is too hot. My advice is to try without holes first.❤
Was going to suggest this too. For outside definitely drainage holes.
WTG Lesa. Great job. There are so many things you can do to these. You can use glass stones from the dollar store, or broken glass inserted in the outside while the cement is still wet. It can turn out like a mosaic. You can do your own pattern, etc. I watch Helen Wyatt. She is an 86 year old grandma in Georgia. The things she made with cement are beautiful. She now does live streams and not so much cement. She made all kinds of pots using old jeans from her grandson. She even covered teddybears in cement and painted them. Now that you got the skill, possibilities are endless.❤
Fabulous job Lesa I just might try that myself thanks xx
awesome! I'm going to try that
Looks Great! Don't forget a drainage hole! Well done
I was thinking that too- it's very necessary if this is sitting on the window ledge.
It's beautiful. Favorite line: "I was never good at that either." You're a great artist, not just a good one.
Well done Lesa! Wonder if you need drain holes?
Who new playing mud pies could be such fun, and the end result is excellent! Making some more with your grandson, that will be fun for the both of you. Could you write your grandsons name on the front and date it. Would be lovely to look back on at a later date, Well done
I love your planter. It looks beautiful 😍
That looks really good and the money you have saved ❤
Well done, Leesa. Maybe put a draining hole in the next ones.
Always use gloves with cement!
Wonderful imitation stone trough. You might like to look up Gardeners' World, tuffa stone trough making. Their recipe substituted peat moss for one part of the sand to make the imitation stone trough, lighter in weight. Instead of oiling the plastic container that they used to form cement mixture on they covered the plastic or styrofoam container with plastic, then covered the plastic sheeting surface with the cement mixture. As long as you are experimenting, you might like to try a tuffa stone trough made with one part cement, one part sand and one part peat moss... this is from memory but I believe that was the proportions. They found styrofoam fish boxes in which fresh fish was sold worked a treat to form their trough on. I do like the idea of the sand castle form to shape your cement on... innovative. I think you can also color the cement while mixing it with natural products or even acrylic craft paint. Keep up the great programming.
OOPs. on your next planter you might want to include a drainage hole... you can use any cylinder from the recycling bin and push it into the cement bottom, before it dries, such as a bit of old piping, a cork from a bottle of wine, or in the case of either a styrofoam mold or the sand castle mold... stick a few small wooden scewers ir branches in and allow to dry, then break off the scewers or remove scewers if you can to create small drainage holes to prevent flooding of flower pot from torrential rains or over watering. The wooden skewers should eventually rot out of the mold if that can be removed at end of process... other tubing might work better such as a bit of old water hose
great job! love it! I might try this at home. 😀
That looks great!! You can paint the outside with natural yoghurt to help it age more quickly but even if you don’t in a year it’ll look great I reckon. Could you put drainage holes in the bottom as part of the making process? Commenting as I watch so you might mention this.
Please give more details about the color you sprayed on it, etc. I love it!
