    I like the fact that you don’t waste time with meaningless babble or footage of questionable quality.
    It’s a pleasure to bear witness in the property’s transformation back to one so lovingly cared for and maintained. ❤️

    Ingenious solution with that little piece of white pipe! It's a pet peeve of mine to see chandeliers hung without the crown being flush to the ceiling or with ugly electrical wiring, such a smart idea! Looks beautiful and gives warmth to the whole space! The birdsong in that donkey shot, just marvelous! That's one dreamy veggie garden too! ♥️

    An electric chandelier hoist can be installed between the floor for easier install and annual cleaning. At least in the US… we found this out the hard way we could have paid for four of them with all the scaffolding rentals not to mention one emergency room visit, surgery and physical therapy.

    • @OurFrenchChateau

      Oh no - that sounds terrible. Good idea - have no idea how we'll clean it!

    • @basiaboy
      @basiaboy 2 года назад

      We use vinegar and water 50/50 in a container where we can just dip the crystals into it, other areas we have a spray bottle and gently mist and wipe. Dust or lightly vacuum first. Allow to drip dry…..never have chandelier on when misting and allow to dry (happens quickly because vinegar evaporates … you can add some rubbing alcohol to the mix to increase evaporation time.

    Love your chandelier!!! What a procedure to get it hung! I have two much smaller ones, and when I put LED bulbs in them the brightness was just not there; I learned that I had to replace just one bulb with an incandescent bulb and that allowed the LEDs to be the intended brightness. Odd, and might've been my dimmer switches... But I couldn't tell if yours was possibly dimmer than it should be, so thought I'd mention it. Your garden is a dream. I wish I had those walls to keep the deer out of mine!

    You can see the character and beauty if you look in this little cottage. The beds were built into nooks in the wall and I love that about French Chateaus . Nothing like feeling all tucked in at night!! I always wanted a beard like that it was seven sisters it just wasn’t possible.
    The pieces on the floor by that lovely fireplace I believe belong up above the fireplace. The one piece has broken and it’s a form of “faux” framing, Giving that the fireplace is also wood but a lot of fireplaces had paneling that went on up above the mantle and I think that’s what those boards are….Framed interest pieces…I might be wrong but once that glued back together and cleaned up, if you measure it a crossed I think it might be the same size as the fireplace mantle width!!
    I you Averi lucky to have such a quaint and interesting Chateau and it will be beautiful when it’s all done. Just point of opinion I like the darker color paint for the shutters but I’m sure you’re going to want them all to match..
