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 . 🖌
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.
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!
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.
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 💜
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 ❤❤❤
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!
❤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.
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!
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, 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. 🎉❤🎉❤
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!
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.
☀️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!! 😂💛
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!
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.
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! ❤
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! ☀️
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 -
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.
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!
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 💔🇺🇸💔
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.
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
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 💜
I really enjoyed this video. I don’t think you needed to edit it. Loved the still photos of the vegetables and fruit at the market. The rooms are beautiful 😍. Your chateau is wonderful
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 🇺🇸
Abbey the bedrooms are great! I really like them. Still gets me, the squeeky floors. Ha! But after awhile you probably don't notice them. The bathrooms are so unique and lovey. Well, you did good. Laurie from Idaho
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 ❤
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.
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!
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. ❤❤❤
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
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.
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
Oooooo, I'll take a large bag of those figs. They really looked good. I can't find any fresh ones where I live in Colorado. And maybe some of the pork.
The only things that bother me about the bedrooms is they don't have curtains on the windows . And you have no pictures on the walls in some of the rooms down stairs or curtains . I'm not picking on you at all so don't take it that way . Just for privacy and for it to look like a home also . I know you've done soooo much already and your still working on it everyday . Abby I have nothing but love for you ; your amazing .
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
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.👍🏻🥳💐😘🇨🇦

How fantastically beautiful your “chateau “ has turned into. Abbey, you truly have an amazing style. 👍👍
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.
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!
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.
Yes to iron canopy bed for your room Abby! Everything looks so gorgeous
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.
Everything looks lovely! Each room has its own personality. Hope the retreat is everything your guests dreamed of. ❤
Wow! You have transformed your home into an amazing place to live and stay.I really admire the amount & quality of work you’ve done.
