I love Stephe's laugh and adore Phillip's sniggers.
The young lady that is working in the greenhouse is so lovely. She has the most beautiful smile and sweet soft manner. ❤
"Marie, don't go too far- I want to see you." Nati had me in stitches there🤣 So much building progress! And that bench will look even more lovely when the sunflowers start to flower🌻🌻🌻
Ian was such a treasure! God bless him. RIP!
Dan has done a great job in the courtyard with plants, it looks wonderful.
He always does a great job
Stay with your original plan and make one out of the curtain. The orangey one can find a home in another room.
I agree 💯%. It clashes with the bed skirt!!
Agree.
I agree, it takes away from the lovely crown and side curtains. Too orange.
@@seethevolcane It’s a French style and it’s a French castle is it’s fitting. 😀
What about pain white and then use the curtain for a quilt at the bottom of the bed? Then a variety of red shades for pillows and a throw blanket to tie all the shades together.
Ian is a walking treasure , what a gifted man lelande lucky to have his expertise and his hard work ,
Ian - God bless you for that wonderful repair of Mr. Jarvis's art. I'm sure Stephanie will be filled with gratitude every time she sees it.
I said it before and I will say it again: I LOVE what Dan has done with the courtyard! So much more life and green and insects (even Thor likes them!)
I love the new bench! Great find, Phillip! Dan has the courtyard looking so lovely there should be a few benches for folks sit sit and enjoy it. I must say that he and Kirsty have done a fabulous job with the garden as well! The builder boys deserve a few pats on the back as well! 🌸🌻🌺🦔
I turn 61 on August 13th. I Love this Chanel and your Chateau you are now on my bucket list…….You bring true joy to my day every time you you share your life and passions with us.
Thank you so much❣️❣️
Wow we have the same birthday! I'm turning 20 on August 13th and have never had a "birthday twin" :)
❤your fathers art bust is soooo BEAUTIFUL & I'm so glad its back together for you!
Cat, I can't believe I'm saying this, because so many people from LaLande have RUclips channels but you should start one.
You can show us your life when in England or traveling.
It would be great!
Absolutely!
Cat is definitely a favourite and she is so funny plus I find her very interesting, great idea.
I can't believe your suggesting it either. When's the first vlog? 😆
Now that's à vlog I would watch.
I just love how romantic Dan's planting looks in the main courtyard. And that bench it's the cherry on top.
Phillipe got a steal on that great bench for cast iron. I like the color but would have passed on it just because of fear. I am "color safe" 🤠
Stephanie I’m sure you know not to wallpaper directly over fresh sheet rock. You must put a layer of primer paint on it otherwise you would never get the wallpaper off if you ever re decorate.
I wondered why sometimes it's easy to get paper off and other times, a steaming/scraping nightmare. TY. Hope Stephanie or Mattie see as well.
As a decorator, thank you.
Non prep is my bugaboo. Maybe even primer and paint, no matter that no one will see it. It saves your wall.
Yes, you've got to seal the plaster with a layer of diluted paint.
Absolutely well advise
I have a couple layers at least on my walls and the previous owners just painted over it. So, I continued on and painted over the boring beige.
The bust looks a little like mummy. Beautiful and graceful.
I thought so too, I love Mr. Jarvis's art works.
Yes, Ian did an excellent repair job. You'd never know it was broken. 👍👍👍👍👍
There never seems to be any traffic on the country roads. What bliss that must be. Truly idealic. What a beautiful country it is. ❤
I would stick with a cream spread on the bed. Too much toile becomes overwhelming.
And printed pillows!
I would kill to go to your “flea markets” in France. What a life you have. I’m so envious.
You need an actual pool. I admire and enjoy you all. You all have such an eclectic knowledge of randomness!
You make life seem worth living. Thank you!
The pool is in the future plans. It just can't come from the Patreon funds because those are strictly for the restoration of the chateau.
I wish everyone would stay put!! I need stability in these very uncertain times!!🤣🤣😇
I enjoy the the changes I must say
Living in Amsterdam, late 60S, early 70S, we considered the cabbage dishes very chic. Nice to see them again and still very chic! 😍
But the bench 🤣💖 I love it! The color, the shape, the size! It’s definitely the deal from the brocante.
Yes! The color goes so well with the summer courtyard. In the Fall they could always paint it a red or black or just start it away until next Spring.
Phillip was meant to find Stephanie! Those two are perfection together!❤️
I know. Gerald is her big brother and Philip is her little brother.
I just trust your judgement on your decoration Stephanie, after all you have to live with it. Your home is beautiful so far.
Kirsty is so beautiful. I love her smile 😃
Love the bench ❤👌
You dont have any idea how many lives you have saved..bless you Stephanie!!
I love the antics between Stephanie and Phillip. God bless you and yours. Love, jenwhite
Philip always manages to find a bargain and this one is finished, no work needed! The pool's a hit, a bit like dodgem cars... Nati's a scream, "Marie, don't go too far, I want to see you" love it! 🤣🦘
Aww Kirsty is a star bless her
The evening red /orange light sky just before you go to bed is simply stunning, sure to have sweet dreams!🌄🧡
I love the planters around the fountain.
I would think a solid colored bedspread would be best with just a strip of the toile at the top that you can see when the bedspread is folded over.
Maybe solid colour one side and toile on the other so you can flip it and change the look?
there is the valance already in place. that adds a band of the toile from above. definitely live with it for awhile. also the age of fabric will factor in final choice. really old fabric will not wear well as a duvet used every day. whereas the crown and valance just sit there looking pretty!🦩
I LOVE Cat! Please come back!
Ian you are an absolute legend that plaster job is epic.
So happy Davy is back! I think he is the best! Love the pool so fun.
Stefanie by & in the pool took me back to my childhood. Had aunts who would take a group of us children to beaches, but carefully pinned their hair up and stayed very briefly in the water that went no further than their waists. Happy days.
Yes! Same in the 60's and then there was the 70's when they would do the same but the comments on the "younger" generations attire were quite opinionated and string. LOL. My one aunt probably wore a girdle under her swimsuit and would be shocked at the nudity of the 70's. Fond memories indeed.
the view of sundown, shown somewhere close to 22:26, was absolutely breathtaking. there are many scenes that touch my soul at Lalande, but this particular one is so strikingly beautiful, as it shows the distance scenery, the miles, and the atmosphere. the orange-red seems to give a glow and a pensive feeling. this scene would make such wonderful stationery. it is easy to see the differences of Lalande and its gifts of beauty, the quest for excellence, the love of all things beautiful, the worth of the work, toil, and time. one can see the pay of real sacrifices and the good planning to make dreams come true. i follow and observe so many others, and i see their endeavors---or lack thereof---and i realize why they fail to succeed. they simply just don't put in the time, work, or planning for really successful out comes. i think Lalande is the real deal and will be around for many years to come.
I'm curious how the winter will be now that so many rooms have been insulated during construction this year. Bet there will be a marked difference!
Kat looks so uncomfortable when Philippe tries to cuddle her
I think not everyone is so pleased he has taken over Stephanie.
Kat! I love you! Your humour is just as wicked as mine. LaLande Fans will miss you as hell.
I cannot believe she is leaving already , we have hardly seen her and she is gone . It makes me very sad , l love our Kate ! For me l will always miss her , please dont stay aways to long . She has the most amazing generous and lovely personnality , she is part of the bones stracture of Lalande .
So lovely to hear the french accordion!!!
You're going to make a hugger out of Kat! 🤣 ❤👌👌
The court yard is look fantastic Stephanie Dan is doing a great job I love the bench you got at the fair the downstairs loo is going to be great when finished cannot wait and I think that bedspread is far to orange to have on your bed please stay with the curtains or if you find something else to use and you make me feel so good with all the positive energy you bring to every one
I can’t believe how much I want a bathroom completed.
Hahaha! I know me too.
No that bedspread colour it’s far too orange and detracts from the beautiful pink toile canopy Stephanie. Also looks awful with the bed skirting. I think you should use the other toile curtain I don’t think it will be too matchy matchy as you said
I thought a cream colored bedspread with a toile ruffle would be pretty
or pick a colour that is common to all the various toiles and trim a cream or jet black bed spread with it.. or gold bed spread trimmed with color or toile...
I love that color on the bench! Great find!
I love it when Kirsty is featured!! I wish that I had her talent at gardening!!
Loved Kristy’s tour of the greenhouse plants. She’s precious. Also, my cure for hiccups is to drink a little water and take a few breaths then hold your breath…repeat if necessary 🤭
Hi Stephanie,
Michael has a new drapery and clothing designer now in residence at the Petherick chateau. You should get him to make you some beautiful period dresses and draperies. He does a wonderful job.
Noooo! I love Cat! I shall miss her so. Secondarily. More is more. The toile bedspread …. yes. The crown, the side curtains … go for it! The rest of the room is painted so the print will be fine. I cannot wait to see the China room and the downstairs loo finished. I am a bit disturbed by the fact that I am almost as excited about those renovations as I am about my own. Living chateau-vicariously-ish. We all so enjoy watching the progress of projects that have been long in the making.
Steph! You must redo your intro to include the gorgeous new fountain surround. It looks stunning! Dan has the footage. Just sayin’.
I can’t wait just like all the others just can’t wait, no pressure 🤣
Great fun as always! Loved the mini pool party. Enjoyed. Love to all ❤
I was roaring with laughter at the hiccups! 🤣Editing Stephanie, thanks for being brave enough to leave it in. . Classic!
Philip: I didn't find anything but c'est la vie :/
*cuts to Philip impulse buying a full bench*
I keep getting booted from the chat :/
I hope you all are doing well and are enjoying the premiere ❤️
merci beaucoup 🎶
Drink 10 gulps of water. Works every time.
But the bench...
I think a plain cream bedspread would look very elegant... less is more.
Lets all have a say- I like the idea of red and white ticking on one side and the curtain fabric on the other!
Looks like a sunny day. Enjoy. I know I will.
The vintage shopping in next level there!
I’m dying to go shopping there!
The pool is a great addition , poolside parties, cocktail parties and blow up peacocks I’m jealous. 😊
and a bench...
Shopping, a beautiful garden bench, swimming pool, brioche, you guys really know how to have fun in the sun. 🌞 Nisa
The side curtains look great - my vote is for a "spread made to match the side curtains" and then line that spread with a solid "dark wine/burgundy" material that will match the "back" panel and the bed skirt...this way - when folded back...the color will pick up and bring it all together...so my vote from Virginia is "make a new spread from the side curtain material lined with solid color as the red/wine/burgundy in the bed skirt and crown back panel...lets see what you decide...enjoy !
Love that scheme. :)
You can always get another matchy pool and have a His & Hers!
Or, the men could try and stand up to Michael Potts, and swim in the moat (or the fountain even) 😋🏊🏄
You Guys are so lovely, Cat please don't go! Thank You all for being you
Summer fun! Your videos are always such a tonic 😊 I adore your father’s sculpture - and the repairs look completely invisible. Great work.
Stephanie, yourself ,along with all the other La Landers ,bring sooo much ,joy ,beauty and happiness making me watch all your vlogs. l stumbled in to your Cheateu Diaries ,recently...and love all your previous vlogs too ❤
Awww, welcome anoard
I wish we had antique shops and fairs that offer the china and linens like this where I live in Pennsylvania. I want to come to Lalande just to shop. But I have to get a passport first.
I've been to a few garage/lawn sales in the Andover, NJ area and found wonderful china and linens and things like that. I try to get up there at least once in summer. They are listing in local news paper or internet. Check it out. Of course things might be a little bit different this year because of COVID-19. I didn't go last year nor this year.
You should try estate sales, I have found incredible bargains including Limoges at incredible prices.
@@debbieritchie874 in which area?
Depending on where you are in OA...I can tell you that if in Franklin County, go right across the line to MD, for an annual "Mile Ling" yard sale (which is Mile's and Mile's) that offers vintage, antique, new, old & ugly etc etc.. Or, if near Lancaster, PA - well, you couldn't complain but my best f send and I know ALL the spots in the Tri-State area We used to go weekly (now down to monthly). Let me know if your in or near Franklin County, Gettysburg, PA area and

I have an idea for your crumbling outdoor terrace.
1) Demo the entire crumbling lot and salvage as much of the original stone as possible.
2) Pour a new footing around the perimeter of the terrace and build new cinder block walls from the footing up to the height of the terrace railing cap stone height.
3) Pour an angled cement support structure for the stairs, then build cinder block walls on footings on either side up to the stair case railing cap stone height. Angle the top to match the angle of your stairs.
4) Build the floor of the terrace with steel decking, install drains along the new cinder block railing leaving room for the fascia stone, then pour a stamped concrete deck on top that resembles flagstone or cobble stone.
5) Install the original stone steps by setting them into cement on top of the new angled cement support structure.
7) Clad the cinder block walls with your salvaged stone then finish the tops of your terrace stone railings with cap stones.
8) I would also suggest incorporating lamp posts in the corners of the terrace and on either side of the staircase. The lamp posts and electrical would have to be installed at the same time the cinder block walls are being built.
This will provide a stable structure that will last for another 200+ years. It will maintain the original historical appearance and provide a dry storage room underneath for your garden tools, and winter storage for your outdoor furniture. I am looking at buying a Property in Spain to escape the Canadian Winters and get back to my European Roots, if I manage to make that purchase I would love to take a side trip to visit you and your Beautiful Chateau.
The park bench is perfect, a wonderful shade of almost Tiffany blue! Also loving the bed spread. Beautiful! I am shattered that Cat is leaving yet again. Tragic departure!
Thank you for the video!
The napkins ........ the brocante .......... but the bench!
Dan's drone footage over Lalande is amazing. The grounds are beautiful due to his hard work and Stephanie's vision. I love the place and all the people. They've been good sports in allowing us into their work and fun. Have any other patrons had trouble with not being able to view the footage e mailed? It keeps saying I should join to see but my account shows I've paid every month.
May I suggest messaging from the Stephanie's Patreon page, it's likely to get picked up on right away.
Sometimes it logs you out. So you still get the email with the video but to do anything else you need to re log into patreon. Hope this helps
I would suggest downloading the app and you will always be logged. I wouldn’t click on the link because you will have to login again and again
Do you freeze all the vegetables? If you put a little olive oil in a ice tray and put basil into it or Rosemary or any herb then freeze. Pop out of ice tray then put in a sealed container or zip lock bag then keep in freezer anytime you cook then take one of those cubes and used
I do this! But I pop them out and put them in a ziplock bag so they don’t get frozen water particles because then it spits in the pan :)
Now that is a sunset! Wow!
Think Michael could do with cooling off in your pool Stephanie.
Love the bench a sitting area to enjoy the view . Pops out the color of the shutters. Love the pool fun !!
pool 🏊♂️ yay 🤣
I love S bed but I think a plain bedspread woud be nice otherwise there are too many different patterns x
Maybe plain one side and toile on the other so it can be flipped over for a change.
It might be better to go with a solid cream bed cover with the fold on the underside the pink curtain fabric. If it gets too busy your eye won’t have a place to rest to appreciate the beautiful fabrics already there.
Absolutly right you have excellent taste , that orange cover clash horribly !
Nice to see the china pantry advancing, can't wait to see the finished room!
Bench looked great in court yard.Lovely plaster work!
Just all coming together:)
Oh yay! When I wake up it will be my birthday and I will have an episode to watch while I’m having my morning cuppa (we’re in lockdown again, so I’m on my own with my fur baby). It will be a lovely treat!
Lots of love ,
Irene (Melbourne, Australia)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY from upstate Ny, USA!!!!
🎊 Happy Birthday & a healthy year to follow 🎊
Happy Birthday from France xx
Happy Birthday from Sydney x
Haopy birthday from. Colorado USA!
Another fun vlog, so lovely to see you all having fun and living a normal life cause we are in another lockdown so I'm living vicariously through you guys. Enjoy and stay safe. Hugs from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺❤
So much happening! I love the bench! China cupboard and bathroom almost done! The pool party! So fun!
I so enjoy seeing the projects coming along, but it all becomes friendly and intimate due to the personalities of everyone. The hiccups were classic.
Love,y builder Ian is back,yay ..this is mrs macleod
Now you can charge the guests more for having a pool. Tres bien 😉👏🏽🥳❤️
What a happy vlog! The girls around the pool so cute! And philip's bench and might I say hic-cups! He's so charming.The place is looking so good.Stephanie the glue that holds it together is such fun to watch.Thank you
Loving this ❤️❤️❤️🎊 I can’t wait to see what you find ❤️ omg that pool is perfect especially with the current heat wave ❤️🏰
I wonder if Stephanie found a proper “GIFT” for your chateau! She said she would find something as… interesting as your taxidermy what ever that thing is.
We have a family white elephant. An ugly valise that someone is stuck with each year. You pass it on to someone else.
Is there only one thing longer than "the downstairs loo"...
"War & Peace"... You Islanders are just Crrrrazy"
♡ x
The bench is a gorgeous colour. Wow, Dan has done an amazing job on the courtyard and with the gravel, it looks absolutely beautiful. Really loved the french music... So exciting see progress of china room and bathroom. Ians are brilliant!
Years ago I was searching for a provencal bag, but couldn't find one. I ended up buying 2 place mats and 2 table napkins from a shop in Nice, and made one! It looks like exactly like yours! Where there is a will, there is always a way......
Sally, that’s very clever! We have “ op shops” in Australia, so I now have ( another) reason to go, Susan at Hobart..
@@susanduff-silsby2695 Hello Susan from Hobart this is Liane from St Helens. Wouldn't it be lovely to have a brocante like Emasus to go visit. All the best. PS - If I am ever at an op shop and see someone hunting through place mats - I know it will be you!
Philip's hiccups cracked me up! LOL. Hope he managed to get over with them before bedtime.
Love it, every second was amazing👍
Absolutely love the sunset at LaLande.
Love the swimming area
Cat will definately be missed. Hopefully it is a paise only & not a long absence. I can"t see the orangy/red cover goes with your beautiful new curtains
Thank you for the mini breaks of loveliness 🥰
You could always use the other curtain folded at the end of the bed for usable decor, think Ralph Lauren with layers of mix and match. Then use a solid or stripe or something with a texture for the main spread

Another fun filled video brilliant. Can't wait for the China room & downstairs loo.pool party was fun👙👙👒🍩🍩🏖
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧 💍
A downstairs loo party... hmmmm
Lovely vid especially the sunset
