Each Tour before the Retreat u can clearly see a big change and the Chateau is looking even more Beautiful each time . Have a Neat Retreat looks fun . 🖌
Really have to say Tomas n Bruce are a great team. Very hard working professionals in their fields. They do a great job! The rooms look amazing! You also have turned into quite a good decorator! You worked very hard but, it's really coming along beautifully. The food looked so fresh. Nice that your retreaters get to learn a few tips from the chef. Love from Jersey....❤❤❤
Abby, the rooms look great. All of that fresh harvest from the market looks awesome. The cottage is coming along. I am glad you have your bathroom completed, but not as happy as you, I bet! Enjoy! ❤
All the bedrooms look wonderful! I especially loved the colorful lemons wallpaper. Your bathroom is so elegant! It really turned out beautifully. The cottage seems like it is a major major engineering project!
The cottage is really starting to take shape - Can’t wait to see further progress! Your rooms look fantastic and so inviting and cosy! Enjoy the retreat - wish I was there! 😊 Looks like the weather is just perfect! ☀️
I couldn’t get enough of your bedrooms, so tastefully decorated. Your château is so welcoming the dappled sunlight on the floor so,so captivating. Have a wonderful retreat.
I love the iron canopy bed idea. If you don't go in that direction, a beautiful bed crown would also look amazing and help take up volume. My first choice would be the canopy, though. Whatever you go with will be amazing as you have fantastic style and taste.
Oh, Abby - wonderful video!! The food looks fabulous! And I don't remember having a tour of the bedrooms in forever -- like, since you first moved in. You've shown us the work in various rooms and baths, but I had kind of forgotten where everything was, how the rooms were laid out, so it was great to have that tour again. And the rooms ALL look gorgeous! You all have done so much work to make the retreats such a beautiful experience for everyone!
Thank you Abby! Your chateau is very well done. I actually love your use of restraint. Very nice! It all looks so fun! Thank you for taking us on your adventure with you!
Didn't realise you'd changed all the rooms looks so beautiful love the colours looks brighter , have a lovely retreat looks like fun and the food makes me hungry and you are just amazing at all you've done and helpers ❤❤❤
Wow everything is really coming together your bathroom is gorgeous as well as all of the guest bedrooms … thank God for Bruce 👍🏻 your chef’ is amazing looks like a very rustic dinner with lots of delicious ingredients… Abby enjoy your friends and the retreat… you deserve it.. you have worked so hard to get to this point. I thought of you and your family on 9/11…may your husband RIP 💔🇺🇸💔
Great wallpaper in that top floor bedroom…….. it would make me hungry if I woke up in the middle of the night 🙂 But to be serious…….. you all have done wonderful work since moving in, congratulations
Abby, your chateux is looking splendid. Well done to you and all your helpers. All that painting and hanging wallpaper, the fun of shopping for furniture, accessories, linens just looks amazing. I'm sure the retreat was a fabulous success. I'm so pleased for you all. 🎉❤🎉❤
I know you will have the best retreat!! The bedrooms and bathrooms look amazing! Glad to see Bruce is getting to enjoy some down time with the retreat! Your bathroom is stunning! So glad it’s now completed!! The markets look like they have fabulous food I can imagine how wonderful dinner must have been! Enjoy your week Abby! All of the hard work leading up to this has certainly paid off everything looks great! Au Revoir 💜
You can get 1/2 shades that are meant for sconces. They are usually built on a metal cage and they come covered or you can buy the empty cages and make your own. I bought some cages for my 1930's bathroom sconces and they turned out great.
Bonjour, Abby! The Chateau de Borie looks grand! After the retreat, I wonder if it’ll be time for a before-and-after video? I know that you’re not finished, but you and your team have accomplished so much in a couple of years, it’s wonderful to see. As I write, your retreat will be in full-swing and I send wishes for the fun and success that you and your guests deserve. A la prochaine!
Abbey, this looks super cool! Enjoy it to the fullest! I’m putting my dollars into my lil kitchen tin can and saving up for one of your future retreats! I would be so honored to visit you and Chateau De Borie! Cheers 💜
❤Abby, I continue to be impressed with all you've accomplished. You really made your dream come true in the face challenges that anyone would find daunting (the cliff, water in the cave, language challenges, governmental red tape, etc.), You gather your resources and with a little help (and sometimes you have to throw money at a problem). You've rescued the property and every room is charming. What a wonderful chapter in your life. You are living life to the fullest. It is inspiring.
Your place is so beautiful, all the rooms decorated perfectly. I love the wallpaper in your bathroom and every bedroom that has wallpaper. You must be so pleased. CONGRATULATIONS ❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, me also and I am not a wallpaper lover but these ones are splendid. I love the fact that everything look clear and so fresh. For the eyes it's not too much in the decor. Those bathroom are lovely, specially yours! From black to an enchanting and peaceful place to take a calm bath. Bravo!
The sconces in your bathroom need sconce shades. They are half of a shade and clip on to the base of the bulb fitting. They come in pretty fabric ones too. 25:00
Oh my. We haven't seen the bedrooms and bathrooms for a while and the transformations are impressive. The work everyone put into them is really quite amazing. And your bathroom is absolutely lovely. I think the iron canopy bed would help fill the space. Although the current bed is quite nice, it looks a little small for the space. The chef was so interesting in explaining how he planned on using all the fresh vegetables.
Yes, you accomplished so much in the restoration of the chateau and it looks beautiful for the retreat. Great job thanks to all of you working together to bring it to fruition.
I am so impressed with the amount of progress that you & your friends etc. have made at the chateau, in the time you’ve had. The exterior, interior, grounds, cottage, are all looking so great. The retreat looks like it will be a great success. I hope that you, Bruce & all the attendees have a wonderful time. A question- are you going to hang curtains in the bedrooms in the future? Just curious. I hope that you’re proud & can relax with your guests.👍🏻🥳💐😘🇨🇦
In your bathroom try looking for shades that attach to the lightbulb and are almost like a shade that’s been cut in half. This way it won’t bump into the fixture’s hardware Love your channel btw You are awesome 😀
Love, love the rooms 💕💕 just a thought - maybe sew a different colored thread on the linens to identify for each bed if you haven’t already thought of it.
All your bedrooms look beautiful. Love the wallpaper you picked for each bedroom it gives them such character. Your personal bedroom may be working in progress, but it is progressing in a beautiful direction. Your Bathroom is gorgeous. It would be lovely to see the end result from your chefs creation for lunch. Even if it’s a picture. Thank you for sharing.
Looking back to where you started - and now seeing your vision all come together is fabulous. It looks great. The cottage is coming along too. Good luck with the sketch retreat -
YES ....yes... to canopy bed or rather ' iron' canopy bed... will do so well ..with those tall ceilings ...all very calm, serene and beautiful... perfect for retreat!
☀️OMG Everyone and everything looks wonderful!! The cottage, Abby’s bedroom, the food!! Enjoy Enjoy!! Thank goodness I’ll be there in June or I’d be hopping a flight to come over!! 😂💛
I love your bathroom wallpaper! ❤ it looks great! WHEN did you install those wonderful bathrooms upstairs? How wonderful! Sooo much better than having everyone come downstairs to bathroom corner.
Abby, the bathroom turned out really nice, I've always loved a claw foot tub. I wish we had open air markets to buy things. In the summer, private growers might sell some of their produce but you mainly buy things at large super markets where I live. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
The beds are stunning! Good job, just a suggestion to please put TP that is sitting on the bottom shelf of the hall console table in a basket to camouflage the TP rolls.
I know you don’t like curtains on windows but what about a bed crown with fabric for your bed? It would bring elegance to your room. You are in a chateau after all. 😉
For your own bedroom if you luv your bed then maybe a raised platform , wider than the bed , a step up .... and if you don't like a big bed then an open 4 poster may suit ....you have such wonderful space you have lots to play with....all looking fab ❤
Wow, your home is so beautiful, love all the bedrooms and bathrooms and you bathroom is the most beautiful, hope your retreat went good . Did your daughter go back to the states already, so glad Bruce has returned he might as well just stay he is such a big help, God Bless
Hi Abbie. Thought of you the other day❤. Everything looks just lovely. I was thinking how I would just love to stay in Any of those rooms! Maybe someday. I can’t get over what you have accomplished in just over 2 years. You should be very proud of yourself. Loved that little shop. I could have spent hours there. The fruit and vegetables are a picture in themselves! Nathan seems very nice and I would love to see the final result. Sounds delicious. I’m sure everyone will have a wonderful time. I’m so jealous😅. This is the best way to visit France. ❤❤❤
💗Thank you for sharing your life experiences. You are an example of "Why not". I intend to attend a retreat one day. I too am a widowed, 2 1/2 yrs, but sadly discovered his betrayal two weeks before he passed. He was too far gone on morphine to confront him. I sat with mediums (separately) a year ago and was gutted to hear of many times I was tossed aside by him. I cringe when people talk fondly of him. This week I asked him to show me a "pink ladybug" if I am his soul mate. I miss what I thought we had. We were together 49 years.
All the fresh food and the market just makes me want to join in a retreat because I am not an artist but I love food, Europe and fellowshipping. I am sure this was a fantastic time for all your guests!
Everything is fine, bedrooms bathrooms what a place all comes together and the food makes me want to zip over Mmmmmm . Well done Also a great place for family Réunions
You have done up all the rooms so well, every one with its own personality. Just beautiful, I like that you didn’t over overdue the decor. 🩷
If you hand sweep with a broom some baby powder or flour on the squeeky floors, so it can get down between the boards, it should stop the squeek.
Wow! Everything looks wonderful!!
What a wonderful thing you have created!!! And I'm sure it's going to get even better. Bravo, brave woman!
How fantastically beautiful your “chateau “ has turned into. Abbey, you truly have an amazing style. 👍👍

Hi Abby, wishing you a successful retreat. The rooms look beautiful. Hope to see a picture of the meal Nathan describe, sound delicious!
The cottage is really starting to take shape - Can’t wait to see further progress!
Your rooms look fantastic and so inviting and cosy! Enjoy the retreat - wish I was there! 😊 Looks like the weather is just perfect! ☀️
Beautiful rooms, I love the sounds the old wood floors make.
Every room is so lovely and so well appointed. One would feel so comfortable and special!
The rooms are simply stunning Abby. Hope the retreat was fantastic 👏👏👏👏🥰🏡

You should buy a circular bed , it would look great in the middle of that big bedroom of yours
Abby, your chateux is looking splendid. Well done to you and all your helpers. All that painting and hanging wallpaper, the fun of shopping for furniture, accessories, linens just looks amazing.
I'm sure the retreat was a fabulous success. I'm so pleased for you all. 🎉❤🎉❤

Best of luck dear lady! You’re amazing 🤩 keep up the great challenging work 😊
On my gosh those creaky floors would drive me crazy. Old trick was to put talcum powder inbetween the boards to stop it.
You’re done a great job with all the rooms. It looks like a really beautiful place for a retreat. Hope all your guests have a great time 😍😘
Abbey the Chateau" is coming great. The rooms and Bath rooms are spectacular. I am so happy for you. Have a wonderful week.
