- In this episode Leslie walks you through the main floor talking about what has been done, and what still is to be done to the public rooms. You may also notice that some of the video is higher resolution thanks to a better camera purchased with Patreon funds. Thank you very much:) To support the continued restoration of the Chateau visit our patron site

You guys are certainly sharing five loaves and two fishes by allowing everyone to live the dream🥐🍷🎨
Cleaning paintings are for the professional's, you could try a stick with a twist of cotton on the end (like a cotton bud) and use your spit, Spit is neutral and what art restorers use. to test a corner to see how dirty they are
GORGEOUS GRAND SALON!!!
BEAUTIFUL CHATEAU!!!
💖💖💖💖💖
Beautiful home… those doors and windows show the breath takingly gorgeous landscape
The ceiling in the dining room is spectacular. Painted beams in chateaux are quite rare and this one is in lovely condition.
An absolutely gorgeous chateau.
Deep red carpet is best, as it makes the place look warm too
So, so beautiful. This is the kind of chateau that would suit me well. Seems it would be so much fun to restore and decorate something that's already this ornate and spectacular. I'd never want to go anywhere.
❤Wonderful tour. I watched it twice! Thank you for sharing.
I am so glad the painting I made I sent you is bringing you joy! The colors do look perfect in that room! I'm glad for it. You were right, the idea behind it was that you are giving all you have, and it might not be much but the Lord will multiply your efforts and provide for you. I have also sent a print to some missionaries, and given a print to a new pastor because I think the Bible story is such an encouragement.
Yes.... thank you so much. We were running in circles when it arrived so I'm glad be in touch again:)
I figured you'd all be super busy because I think it arrived while you had your students there. I didn't expect it to show up in a video, but it is nice to see how well in matches the color scheme of the room!
Just a weird bit of info to think on when you redo your Salle a Manger, if you intend for it to be a room to eat in... Rooms in reds or red tones make your food taste better while blues make you lose your appetite. The blue in the ceiling is beautiful but you may want to stick with the golds or something un-blue 😊
Saw your plates in a vintage shop a few weeks ago and thought of you guys lol. Funny what sticks. I'm still bringing you the ones I have! Just need to get the whole "getting to France" thing working 😂 In the meantime, I'm SO happy that you are still posting videos to keep us inspired!
Chateau life is a sight where the wife is a designer and she makes wall paper check it out. It’s actually called How to renovate a Chateau with out killing your partner.
Congratulation for this very nice Chateau. Perfect in Style outside and inside.
You must connected with Stephanie Jarvis from Chateau Diaries/ De La Lande. She is in Facebook
and youtube. She is special in repair and perfect for Decors.
You have a gem, and I love it that you are using it for the furtherance of the Kingdom. All glory to God! ❤️😊
@@christineribone9351 if you have watched them from the beginning, you would know the how and why of their story. They have sunk nearly every bit if their life saving into this chateau and plan on using it for hosting a study abroad for students who want to travel there. They offer Bible study classes and tours around the area. They have been very up front about their purpose and, I, being a Christian, recognize fellow believers and am cheering them on in their endeavor. ❤️😊
Love that chardelier you purchased! I think it will shine like a gem in a room. I wish I can walk that flea market...
Yes, the salon is my favourite room. You need something like that in the dining room,my second favourite room. The plants give the room life,in the photo.
Since we also leave our home for a month or more at a time it is so hard to have live plants year round. However, now with a "caretaker" living there when you are not there that could work. Hope this helps dramatically with the flies!!
Rob: Where will this family live when you and your students are back in the chateau?
Oh, in regards to the beautiful ceilings, they would probably have been coloured in, when they where originally done. You can find some amazing examples! There is a series on RUclips, with Sarah Beeny, where her and her husband restore an old manor house. And they restored their ceilings, and painted with colours, so that might be worth a look 🙂
Agree especially the wedge wood room
Omg I’ve just commented the same :) they are called Plafond a la francaise and would surely be heavenly decorated and painted
Wallpaper -- Anna, at the18th Century Chateau Gonneville sur Honfleur in the beautiful Normandy countryside, has designed and made wallpaper for that Chateau. I follow their adventure as well as yours. It could be worth having a look at "Make your own LUXURY WALLPAPER - How to renovate a chateau (Without killing your partner) Ep. 9" on their RUclips channel, if you haven't already connected with her.
Somewhat late to your party but glad I made it to learn about your vision and stunning chateaux. As for the dining room with the hand painted ceiling of gold, blue and paprika, the walls should be done in that fabulous French blue! It will look perfect with the dark molding. Many good days and blessings ahead.
Thank you so much for sharing your Chateau with us... I can't wait to see what comes next !!!
You were talking about mold by the painted walls. I suggest you try using Kils Paint for mold before repainting.
Thank you for the great walk through....always fun to see the chateau again and hear about updates and ideas for the future. You must miss being there....but soon again you will be there. Blessings from Ontario Canada xoxo
Beautiful chimneys
I just love your beautiful Chateau, it is by far my favorite. And you two are my favorite people. So down to earth &
hard working & Christians too!
Wish i had your decorating talent Leslie.
Perhaps you could give us some decorating tips? God bless you!
Great video showing main floor!👏
Beautiful building with lots of great potential. You have done a lot of work because of the years of neglect. Bonne chance!
I love the painting and it's meaning. A great reminder of God's provision and generosity. Beautiful focus and colour for the room. Much love from England X
Love the video!! In case your interested, I also watch “Chateau Life” and they did a video on cleaning their fabric walls in case you want to keep the same color/fabric. Love your Chateau and what you’re doing ministry wise. Wish I was young enough to come with your students 🤣😁. Be blessed & may God provide all you need 🙏🏼✝️
A true fairytale; beautiful detail in your chateau home...I will be following and living a minute fantasy as you share!
Really enjoyed this video guys. Beautiful chateau.
This really is a beautiful property.
Oh cool I remember the gold clock and thought you would get that one!! I would have!💜🌈💜
Thank you for the tour! I hope you go with a stair runner in keeping with French tradition, rather than red.
I agree, I love that it's green. Not quite the right green but I'd love to see it something in blues or greens and happy!
I love this chateau nice good job 💕💞💗💖
Take the wallpaper off the wall behind the bed. Carfully. Use that to patch the other walls. Then put cloth behind the bef
ohhh that's a good idea
Thank you for the tour, always my favorite!! The chateau is absolutely stunning! 🌸🥐🎻🕊
You could use a handscanner and copy and print the wallpaper. You could probably find a printable substrate to use. When i did printing, there was different inkjet plotter printable art canvas. There's all kinds of roll and sheet print material. Contact a wallpaper maker. They still exist.
Brilliant idea
I may suggest do a "plafond a la françaises" in the hall with light colors. Historically correct and you have a lot of height. Love your videos, work, and a really a good role model in or time and society, i don't comment often but i'm always waiting your new videos. lot's of love from Chile and i send good vibes for the future.
I love seeing all of the new details! So lovely.
Definitely the most beautiful chateau I’ve seen!
All those details everywhere are all a work of art, so gorgeous! Congratulations, you are so lucky to own that piece of history, you have bought a magnificent building, it is a collection of art!
you have not seen our castle "chateau de la Motte" in Noailly
@@chateaudelamotte9527 oh thank you, I’ll go look for it. Do you have a link?
From all the places you shopped this is the most beautiful and detailed
It’s truly a beautiful Château great tour!
Have a wonderful week!
Enjoyed from Texas!
Wow what a lot of works you have been doing you two.IT all looks fab. The ceiling looks amazing and the kitchen floor too. Missed you two, nice to see you back x
Thank you for this detailed walk through
You've done a great job. The chateau looks cosier. For the runner in the stairs I would try to find the same green as the green of the curtains of the doors that lead to the grand salon. It would create a nice harmony.
You can bring some Gilding wax back with you to highlight the ceiling details in the grand salon. The dining room ceiling is stunning!
Leslie, go-to the Glisan side of the seminary building, the class of 2004 seminary, put the marble in the walk in front of the doors..
Cleaning paintings is NOT a diy project! I would recommend, that you have them valued, and cleaned by professionals! It is way too easy to ruin paintings, by even the most delicate diy cleaning attempts - and loose alot of the detail and colours - and most of the value.. So I'd suggest you try to find a professional, and wait, till you know, exactly what you are dealing with 🙂
Excellent advice Rasmus Mogensen. I have been watching "Julian Baugartner Painting Restoration" (Chicago) for quite a while. The work & effort that goes into cleaning an old painting is extensive. Please do not attempt to clean your paintings by yourself. Undoubtedly, your paintings are original to the Chateau which makes them more valuable. Please have a professional look at your paintings and if it is too expensive, just clean one a year to preserve them.
Beautiful.... Love walk throughs.. Great ideas from Leslie. Blessings.
there are companies really looking for these old motives, maybe if you find one they can reproduce it, maybe even for free if you let them have the pattern ... (ask Stephanie of The Chateau Diaries, she knows many wallpaper companies ;-) gotta be inventive when you have a short budget hehe
I’m sure the ceiling in the main entrance had a painting before being plastered with paint since it is a Plafond a la francaise maybe try finding someone who’s specialized in restoring old plafonds and you might end up with the prettiest ceiling
So, many years ago, I was in charge of the renovation of an estate and 50 room mansion. Having giant doors similar to yours, ours also had similar hardware. Interestingly, our hardware had been imported from France at the turn of the last century. The hardware was also gold plated, and thankfully, in original condition. Have you been able to see what is under all of the paint?
I. Think BLUE from the ceiling in the dining room. You have good taste!
Thank you for the wonderful tour.
What are gorgeous chateau .You are very lucky to have it so intact wonderful ideas for the future up dates.How many bedrooms upstairs ?
Wow, what a gorgeous chateau.....I love what you plan to do in the future!
Wonderful as always! Thank you ♥️
Thank you for sharing But have you noticed, you still have the old window glass :-)
Those jewels. Care for them.
Yes..... Leslie always says it makes it look like a Monet painting:) We have quite a bit of old glass, but many panes are new as well.
Gild the rips and tears in the wallpaper with fake gold leaf - it will look stunning!
Beautiful 🌹 enjoyed.
Oh my goodness! I'm simply falling in love with your chateau. Thank you for the detailed tour this time; it was terrific to see so many features up close. I would certainly pinch myself every day if I woke up in a place like this. It reminds me of the Bible verses about Jesus saying that He will go and prepare a place for us so that where He is, there we may be also. I think of heaven and the wonderful places God is preparing for those who know Him. Somebody, if not on earth, I'll have my chateau, too. :-) I did have a question. I adore all the fireplaces, but do any of them work? I would also love a working fireplace or two (or three or four) in a place of that size. Surely at some point those provided the primary heat, right? So they must have stored a ton of firewood somewhere for easy access. Keep the videos coming. I started late, but I'm watching all your videos in order so I don't miss anything. What a fun ride! Thank you.
Great work. BTW, the italian place, where that beautiful white marble comes from is CarrAra (/kəˈrɑːrə/ kə-RAR-ə). CarrEra (as pronunced) means Competition, Study, Run, Course, etc. in Spanish. Good luck with the rest of the work. Cheers
The spot by the stairs, on the small table could use an antique phone. ;-) I do love your home. Thanks for sharing.
Your design choices are spot on to sustain the original art and architecture of a brilliantly designed chateau. Nice to see so many elements and fixtures intact. Thanks for sharing.
pardon the accidental downvote, corrected now to an upvote:)
"Grifferaie" doesn't have anything to do with griffins. In French, griffin is 'griffon'. In France, 'griffer' means 'to scratch', which suggests claws. Grifferaie means 'the grove of the claws'. The heraldic ceiling will be a feature of the original château owner's name or the builders taking the name from some local habitat feature, such as an impenetrable grove of hawthorn, spine gorse or some other scratchy plant. It's possible the surrounding woods were once the abode of hawks or eagles. The heraldic creatures on ceiling are eagles, not griffins. Very beautiful.
How did you learn all this?
@@dawn7612 I have authored several papers on the subject as part of my Masters in French history. I completed an intensive year long study course into French heraldry, héraut, civil and historical, including Napoleonic at the Sorbonne's Faculty of Arts and Humanities under the direction of the French Ministry of Culture, and to educate myself as to the heraldic aspects within the fabric of my families various châteaux.
Very nice château that you have, now you have to make it comfortable living in all around the year....
Thank you for the grand tour. Love your Chateau and look forward to seeing more. God Bless.
Just so beautiful,just like you and husband .
lovely! great to see how far you've come with the chateau. and your camera work is excellent! thank you for sharing with us!!
Angelina, in Chateau Life, recently cleaned the fabric in one of their rooms. It seemed like am awful lot of work, but given the cost of fabric and the size of the rooms, it might be an option.
If you haven't done anything with the reception table could you paint it and use it in the kitchen? Seems like it would be additional space to store cookware underneath and a place to put some food or beverages before sending it all up to the dining area.
Sue Hall
The green wallpaper try save enough to put into a picture frame
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤☕🍰☕🍰🍀
Office in french is the room where servants gathered. It has nothing to do with work.
one of the other chateau shows on ytube makes there own wall paper and she shows you how to make it ( not escape to the chateau )
Beautiful!
Did you ever get any fireplaces to work, just wondering 💭🤗🤗
Sadly not yet:(
Is the tree you enjoy looking at a Cedar of Lebanon? I saw one on another chateau show. They amaze me since I’ve read about them in the Bible.
Yep one of 8 :)
My edea, you can make a copiemodel from ceiling decor with Clay ware (white),
after with the negativ model you built a copie in Plaster. Good luck.
What style should I google to find a light like the one in your foyer above the steps.? Thank you.
For the wallpaper you can contact Anna from How to renovate a chateau. She makes amazing hand painting wallpapers.
She (Anna) has her hands full already.
My mother use to sprinkle a little baby powder on the wooden floorboards that were squeaky. 🤷♀️ Can’t remember if it worked.
I too have heard of that use of talcum powder to fix squeaky floors...
I would make the small bedroom attached to the bathroom into a dressing room.
Bonjour et bravo pour votre magnifique château. Pour le tissus de la salle à manger, je ne vais pas me permettre de donner un avis sur le choix de la couleur, mais juste me permettre de rappeler que la pièce me paraît relativement sombre. Un coloris claire me paraîtrait être une bonne indication pour apporter plus de clarté dans la pièce et faire raccord avec le salon. En tout cas le tissus actuel ne va pas du tout. Pardon de ne pas écrire en Anglais.
Ça va, nous apprenons le français :)
Je viens de voir votre projet avec les jeunes étudiants. Je vous félicite pour votre travail remarquable. C'est un projet fantastique. Encore Bravo !
Who originally built the Chateau and when was it built?
Some of your fireplaces have windows above them. How do they vent the smoke?
Also can you PLEASE tell me HOW you can have a fireplace under a window, WHERE'S the flue ??????????? lol
very nice tour!! thanks so much... lovely ground floor... but small detail that i can't get my head around, and maybe someone here can fill me in: how does the fireplace work in the dining room?? where is the flue? where does the smoke go?? i'm a little confused...
it originally went out the side (to the right), but it is closed up now, so now it just doesn't work:)
We have a few like that
@@chateaudelagrifferaie953 tnx for the reply! that was quick... ah, so it's just for pretty now? but there used to be a proper flue? i get it... thanks again for the reply! enjoying the process you're sharing here, and keep up the good work you're doing...
Lighting a fire in these old fireplaces could cause fires in the chimneys because birds and squirrels build nests in the chimneys. We could often hear baby birds chirping above in our fireplace chimney in a new home we built. Old houses are the same or worse.
This is a hazard and many a home or chateau lost a wing of the building because of fires.
Beautiful tour. Thank you. How can there be a fireplace below a window (in the dining room)? Where is the chimney? Is it just for decor?
It vented to the side and up, but not connected anymore. We have a few fireplaces that employed that strategy.
@@chateaudelagrifferaie953 Thank you for the explanation. I had no idea that could be done 🤷🏼♀️. Also, for that large blank wall in the foyer, have you thought about a period tapestry (If you could find an affordable one)? It might lend a sense of warmth in a cold castle.
In the cold, put cayenne pepper in your shoes for warmth...in the heat you may put ice in your hat..in a bag or not...
When will you be going back to the chateau?
We don't generally go on record, but tickets are lined up:)
I watch another Chateau on RUclips and they had a stencil made for wall paper and made their own. They live in France. Name channel is How to renovate a Chateau {without killing your partner. }💜🌈💜
No chandelier in dining room ?
Hey guys just watching you Vlog and on this one can you please tell me who the 2 children dressed in white and blond hair are that shows on your Vlog at 10:15 -10:20.
As you were looking at the fireplace. They walk quickly so you just catch them walking through. Thanks
I think that's our puppy Mr. Bingley:)
@@chateaudelagrifferaie953 hi Guys thanks for your reply.
If you watch it back you may see what I saw. Do you have any ghosts that you know of?
Contact Anna from how to renovate a chateau without killing your husband.lol. She can reproduce your wallpaper She is a textile designer. Would love seeing all you chateau owners cooperating and trading service. That makes it a lot easier
Ask Stephanie Jarvis for advise. She has done this to beds before.
I am ok with Heads in a house. I would not make new ones
What do you teach

I Think you are Thinking Of selling i can a sure you if I had the money I would buy it
I don't like this pale green. It's a color when people are sick.
