So casually, "Here is the wallpaper I made. Here are the tiles I created. Etc., etc., etc." Truly blessed. Beautiful work. Love every room.
Such talent!
Not afraid to learn and perfect skills
Love your home
Talent, good taste. But having a lot of $ and free time also helps a lot.

This was a lovely, bittersweet walk down memory lane. My family and I were incredibly fortunate to be guests in your home about a year ago, and it was wonderful. ❤ My sweet dad unexpectedly passed away on February 4th. Your home will forever hold dear and lasting memories for all of us… it was our last trip together.
W
What beautiful memories for him, and for you all.
My sincerest condolences on the loss of your dad.
My mom died February 21st. I know how you feel. My condolences. Sending you a big big hug

I always appreciate when wealthy people invest in good architecture. You did an amazing job! Thank you for preserving our history.
In a world where so many tear down old structures to build modern monoliths, what you have done with your French Chateau is perfection! Your family has given so much respect, love, & history to the home, and then given more again by using your talents to make it your own and breathe life back into it in a new century...truly so beautiful and you can really feel all that fullness of life the house holds, even through the muted lenses of a video recording. Astonishing and so well done!
Even worse, in France we don’t only build modern/URSS ugly structure who old very quickly, we destroy/sell all our old buildings, castle and museums
For example a few months ago, the French government illegally sold all the antique furniture from the Thiverval-Grignon castle in a «private» auction at ridiculously low prices. Why? To transform the castle into a shelter for migrants. 🙂
Someday i would love to see a full whole house layout tour..
I absolutely love Anna’s decision to furnish with more contemporary furniture. The juxtaposition is so fresh and sophisticated. Many of the other chateau owners have chosen to furnish theirs with the heavy, fussy French furniture. Those pieces look better if they’re paired with the contemporary pieces. Gorgeous!
But maybe the owners of other similar properties don't see their respective choices as 'heavy' or 'fussy'.
@@robyndismon394 Obviously they are happy with their choices! Only commenting. Not out to change the world of home furnishings.
I can't describe how much I love the fact that you are decorating your Chateau with a nod to it's past history while truly making it your own, and not turning it into a historic time capsule as so many other Chateau owners are attempting to do. All Chateaus evolved over the centuries, families adding to them, and redecorating to suit the changing times, so of course it is fitting that your family should do this also. It is a beautiful home & I can't wait to watch the transformation of the Master Suite.
most people who own castles tend to fully modernise it that is why you see so many people keeping the traditional style bc its smth you dont see very often and its smth beautifull
I wish more people would turn it back in time as a time capsule. Most castles are messed up with half modern crap. The girl here did a stylish way but still I prefer the back to old 'time capsule' . So in other words: you are wrong about what most modern castle owners do and I disagree with your opinion about it.
Anna is an inspiration. She’s beautiful, intelligent, kind and funny.
And has not killed Philippe
@@zach16 he is also an inspiration, you may not see everything he does, but between the both of them with the helpful hand from Benoir, they have a stunning place!
@@LisaVesander.Creative Well, that bit of HUMOR went right over your head. Part of the Blog title is "and not kill your partner", haha😄
@@zach16 I did lose that one, LOL!
I want to know who lived there before And what were there careers
Looks beautiful. You've definitely accomplished a design that's respectful enough of history, but still contemporary.
This is incredible! I’m madly in love with how this turned out! This couple has so much talent and you can really tell that this renovation was done with much love and respect for the property and its history.
Stunning of course, but the best part is when Anna uses her superb artistry to create custom murals & wallpapers etc
Simply beautiful
Also - absolutely love the colour of the dining room! Don’t be afraid of the warm spectrum!
Wonderful tour. You have accomplished so much in 4 years. I can't wait to see the renovated bedroom suite.
Thanks so much!

@@aloysius8005 Honestly, I might want to build one of my own!
I love the mix of the modern with the traditional, you are making a home, it's not a museum and you have certainly respected the original building. I think it's so wonderful that so many of these incredible chateaus are being restored and lived in.
So wonderful how much artwork she personally made, and how much work they put into restoring it true to the century but still made it their own.
Chapeau ! Heureusement qu’il y a encore des gens comme ça qui investissent pour restaurer ces châteaux avant qu'il ne soit trop tard ...
Oui des français ou autres...
This is what elegance looks like .
Just think…200 years from now people are going to be learning the history of your home and your name, as the creative artist that made the tiles and the beautiful wallpaper and the (dare I say) the visionary of what this chateau could be transformed into. Phillip implements the changes that you have imagined your home to look like. And makes us laugh along the way.
Thank You, Anna. You both have done a huge amount of work in four years. My hat's off to you both. The new subscribers are not aware of all the outside lawn care, trees and drive-in gate that you both have done as well. Have a great week.
Thank you so much!
@@HowToRenovateAChateau It was really an incredible work. And your taste is exquisite !
This is magical. The personal connection with the beautiful mural, linocut wallpapers, tiles makes it feel so connected, but still beautifully fits the French chateau theme as well! So so beautiful
Glad you like it!
Absolutely lovely. I often find it tragic to watch what has been done in the interior of the vairous Chateaux in France. But in your case, it is the perfect blend of historical, personal and modern comfort. It's so easy to project yourself living in it and at the same time it keeps all the grandeur of the original.
The cool, peaceful atmosphere in all these rooms, with their elegant style, subtle tones and perfect detailing...can never portray the blood sweat and tears you folk have put into them. Even I, who binge-watched all the videos when I first found you, only saw a scant half of the toils and tribulations.
But you have achieved so much and thanks to Anna's smile, Philipp's humour, the sweet girls and cheeky pup it was fun too.
Congratulations!
So humble about what you have achieved. I have to tell you the transformation is stunning. You both turned the chateau into a beauty. So homely so beautiful...
Absolutely gobsmacked with how magnificent your renovations are and with all the hours of man power put into it. It’s astonishing! The results are amazing, too!
Any chateau saved from oblivion is a great thing.
Beautiful job!
Of all the other chateaux renovations on RUclips your decorating taste is at the top!
Anna, you and Phillip have done an AMAZING JOB restoring this lovely chateau. I have been with your journey for 3 years. It’s been truly a pleasure watching your family and Ziggy. When you see a quality podcast, and yours is, it’s just inspirational. ❣️Following your dreams is heartfelt by your audience. 🥰
Thanks a lot! Our pleasure!
Of all the restorations I have seen recently I think this is my favorite.
Mainly because the love and respect for the property and all the lives it’s had, and all the lives it has nourished I’ve been taken into serious consideration with great respect
For me that is very important it doesn’t have to be exact. But the closest it is the more grand, it’s almost like a time capsule that takes you back and you can imagine what it must’ve been like to live in those times I think of how many centuries that house stood and how many things it seen how many things the walls have heard and how many little feet have touched the floors
It’s so obvious that you’ve put so much love into the restoration. I do believe previous generations, and families would’ve been extremely grateful for the tender care you’ve given and breathing new life into this home.
Glad you like it!
Well done! Kudos to all of you who 'rescued' this beautiful building. Thanks for sharing.
I agree, well done. I hope that you can leave some written history for someone years from now to discover.
Long linen curtains would look really stunning in the evening salon and would make the whole room even more cozy I think. I really love that room and you can really see the amount of thought you have put into this room
Your style and colorways are so fresh and restful, really gives a sense of both the modern and historic, just beautiful. Thanks for the tour!
This is probably the most beautiful home ever. Not only because of the looks and history, but because of all the enormous love and sweat that went into it. Wonderful taste and family. Stay blessed. Greetings from Germany.
I know renovations are so difficult but your hard work has really paid off! Absolutely stunning home. The kitchen, hallway and the blue room guest room are my favourites.
4 years .. only 4 years Anna & Philipp & what you have accomplished is quite remarkable! 👏 I’ve been watching from the very start .. your styling & personal hand made touches are perfection 🥰 Your Chateau is stunning (p.s. I love green too 😏)
So fun to see what you've done over the past four years! It's nothing short of amazing. That kitchen is to die for. I hope you do a full tour one day, I want to see all the rooms and how they connect.
This "Merry Christmas" family part gives me goosebump, such a big happy family in beautiful place all together. I can feel that vantage vibe of being there. Amazing! Thank you!
My house was built in 1880. It's really neat having an old house. So much history, so much character, so many stories begging to be told. Your chateau is beautiful.
You did masterful work! I love you're taking the modern route while staying true to the spirit of the chateau. Authentic renovation doesn't always mean to put the same old (more or less now seen as a bit ugly) colours and designs. You're allowed to feel comfortable in your own home. And you're building something to last what is the most admirable thing to do. Like planting trees, that are not only for you, but for the generations to come. Thank you.
And I need a floor plan, I can't fathom how all those rooms are supposed to fit into these few windows 😅 (I slowly am wrapping my mind around it, but still, sometimes when you open a door it feels like you're in a movie house where the outside and inside shots are filmed at different locations)
Congratulations, Philippe and Anna! Absolutely exquisite! The exceptional intricacies of the interior design serve as a definitive case study for aspiring students of chateau architecture.
Many thanks!
@@HowToRenovateAChateau I want to know who lived there before And what were there careers 😊
Notre belle France, notre histoire restaurée avec beaucoup d'amour et de passion. Très bien fait et fidèle à son origine.
What you’ve achieved in 4 years, is astounding! Looking forward to seeing the master bedroom taking shape. 👏👏👏👏👏
Such a fun tour to show all the work you and Philip have done. Beautiful!
You two have done such a beautiful job renovating this chateau with such exquisite taste. I can hardly wait to see what you two will do next. Best chateau program on RUclips!
Thank you so much!
I absolutely love how much care Anna and Philip put into restoring the chateau as much as possible. Above and beyond the esthetic, older details were often made to last centuries, which is something you don't find today. The quality and craftsmanship was so much higher then. In fact, even in my humble, little apartment, which hasn't been updated since 1978, my little kitchen has solid maple cabinets-- today? Unless you spent tens of thousands for custom cabinets in maple, you cannot find them now. I think they did a wonderful job and I think they made many wise choices.
Congratulations to you both, you have worked so hard over the past four years. Your passion and commitment to how you have renovated your Chateau and garden are a credit to you both and of course tradesmen and helpers along the way. I remember watching the video where you showed how you had bought, reconstructed and sold properties to finally buy your Chateau. I know this life too though I never ended up with a Chateau. Every success in the future to you both.Gail,Czech Republic ❤️
What a transformation. The color combinations and print wallpapers compliment the home.
What an exquisite sense of taste you have Anna. Your home is a place of healing balance and beauty for all of us. And all of the artisans of the past who contributed to this chateau are dancing with joy to see it so beautifully restored!
I can't get over that it's been yrs. I subscribed before you had 20, I've loved every bit of the ride. You two have done a miraculous job of bringing your home back to life. The hard work and creative is beyond words.
Your nana’s painting is just so gorgeous!!! How wonderful that you share her creativity and talent.
The French Castle home has come along nicely. A lot of owner art designs in display of tiles, flooring and painting. The mouldings too, a complete renovation. The entrance gate will be work of art too. Just a beautiful home.
I always love seeing your videos pop up on my phone! keep up the great work!
Stunning !! The green bedroom is heavenly. Thank you so much for showing your incredibly beautiful property ❤ God bless you and your hard work!!! ( From Sri Lanka.)
I am beyond impressed with the love, dedication and hard work you guys have put into this chateau. ❤
Hi Philip and Anna. You both have accomplished in creating the most charming and classically elegant chataeu. Great work! So calming and beautiful! Ziggy blends well with the surrounds! Bravo👏👏👏 Well done!
Wow! Quite exquisite and beautifully restored! Respectful of the era and history. Look so forward to seeing the upgrade and pulling it into the 21st century. No need to feel embarrassed Anna, that room will certainly be the superior suite. Kudos P & A.
You guys did an amazing job restoring what is now an elegant beautiful chateau. Incredibly well done!
Philipp und Anna,ich liebe was ihr beide tut. Euere Passion ist ansteckend ihr tut was ihr liebt und liebt was ihr tut. Macht weiter so,es macht immer wieder Spaß euch und euren Projekten zuzusehen. Tausend Dank für das was ihr leistet ❤
As someone who watched your vlogs from the beginning, it’s amazing the transformation you have made. Love the tiles and wallpapers you have created. Hope you continue to share your renovations as I love the humor between Philipp and Benoit ❤❤❤❤❤
Glad you like them!
" I love the humor between Philipp and Benoit " Philip and Benoit should create their own humor channel; they're better than most professional comedians.
Highly artistic, talented person showing the love you have created in this beautiful home. Thank you Anna to you and your husband...
Truly remarkable! So beautiful. In complete awe of their artistic ability and desire to master the creation of making, painting, and firing their own tiles, carpentry works (etc., etc.), and ever so delicately finding the balance between how much of the original style to keep and how to incorporate it with the new. I’m inspired. Thank you! Bravo!
🥂🌹🌹🌹🏆🌹🌹🌹🥂
Danke Anna, für die Tour durch euer wundervolles Chateau.
Es sieht toll aus...es ist kaum vorstellbar, wie viel Arbeit dahinter steckt...
So beautiful! I would love it if you marketed your own line of paints and wallpapers. Your design expertise, incredible color sense and beautiful wallpapers are like no others! You and Philipp (and Benoit of course) have done a fantastic job renovating in just 4 years! ❤
This is more than a renovation. This is dedication and talent. The whole thing looks perfect I really couldn’t have done better. Great job!
Since I started following you I have become extremely fond of the human side of both of you. (Benoit as well) The château represents who you are as a family with the respect in keeping the château’s identity, the two together are evolving to a beautiful home. Can’t wait to see that master wing with its ensuite!
Beautiful home, beautiful family! Hats off to you!
So beautiful.Can't wait to see the next renovations on the bedroom.😊
What a beautiful home. You both have worked so hard to lovingly restore this magnificent chateau!
You all have done a beautiful job of renovating the Chateau so far. I have Chateau envy! Can't wait to see the transformation of the Master Suite.
Lovely. But ...and this is just me, the one thought that kept going thru my mind was, "I'm so glad I don't have to clean the place."
Spectacular renovation by a very talented hard working couple. Bravo!!
I’ll always be blown away with the kitchen!! Anna’s sense of style is UNMATCHED ❤
The Chateau looks exquisite! You and Philip have wonderful taste I must say. Everything is perfect! Congratulations. Well done.
The château is gorgeous! You’ve done an amazing job. But I can’t go without saying that your beautiful dog caught my eye throughout your video. Glad he’s a part of it all. 💙
Hi Anna, yours and Phillips chateau is a favorite of mine. You both along with Benoit have created a beautiful, clutter free, stunning designs, airy and welcoming chateau. Your keen design color sense, along with Phillips know how skills, and Benoit's expertise, I have enjoyed seeing the process unfold. Can't wait to view the work on the master suite project. How exciting!
So divine, you silence me.
And you're so both kind,
kind and brave, to share your home and trademarks and arts with viewers.
It is so divine that I am lost for words.
Thankyou.
One of my favorite Chatelaines..great style and above all else - an eye for comfortable, practical furniture. Nicely done!
Just lovely. I’ve watched each room evolve into beautiful works of art. Thank you for the treat of this tour , room by room. Looking forward to the big suite being done. Take care .
The chateau has come such a long way. It must be very satisfying to look back on all the beautiful work y’all have done. Everything is beautiful!! Your kitchen is my favorite room ❤
You both did a wonderful renovation; the colors and the themes are very nice, super nice. Enjoy the hard work.⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️
This is a dream home! I live in the south of France now, moving to the countryside around Bordeaux next year, I hope to find homes similar to this (on a slightly smaller scale) if I'm lucky! I'm not a fan of super modern designs but adore these homes so much.
Huge amount of work during these four years and there was the entrance gate as well. And all the work in the garden, amazing, work that you did even after strong winds, I remember. And also, during years, you also received guests, do you imagine ? Oh yes, I am sure. And there are the facades ‘ s renovations. So it was huge indeed. I will not forget these renovations which are going to happen… Meanwhile, enjoy this summer and the fact of being in this Château as well. You largely deserve it. I am very glad for you. And Ziggy loves the house like never and his masters. 😊❤Again, from the bottom of my heart, congratulations for all this beautiful real story. And all this work. 🌹🌹🌹✌🏻🤓👍🏻 Prenez bien soin de vous et passez aussi de très bonnes vacances peut-être en juillet ou août si cela vous arrive mais je sais que vous avez pris déjà un temps de repos. Bonne continuation donc.
My husband and I were so worried about you both at first. We thought you had taken on too much with such a big renovation but we needn't have worried. You have created a beautiful home,well done it's amazing.
Wow, it‘s already been 2 years since I discovered you through our 2-year renovation video?! This hits hard, your channel has guided me through so much change in my life and has been a cozy go-to space when I had been missing home in Germany so much. I only now realise what happened in my life within the last two years…
Thanks. I love everything you do.
PS: I wished I had the finances for patreon 🙈
Simply spectacular! Thank you for bringing us along on this journey. Your chateau is both grand and intimate. The rooms are so clearly designed from the heart with impeccable stye. I feel as if I've walked the hallways with you, many, many times. So excited for the master suite renovation, can't wait to see what you create. xo
Definitely one of the most talented Chateau Renovating Couple on RUclips. 😊
You guys did a great job. Really turned out wonderful.
I can hardly wait for the forthcoming videos. Your home is beautiful. It is a little more modern . You and Philippe have done a marvellous job.
Wow! It's absolutely stunning! You've done a wonderful job Anna and Phillip! I'm thoroughly impressed with your dedication to your family (especially to your marriage) and determination to complete this immense DIY project as authentically to the time period of it's development as possible. A shopping trip to Ikea tests and breaks so many relationships and here you two are, renovating this massive chateau together. Benoit is an amazing craftsman, he literally births your ideas into the physical realm. Your family, friends and community are awesome for supporting your dream. This passion project is a labor of love. I'm praying that you both, as artists, are able to look at your chateau from a non-critical lens so that you may enjoy the fruits of your labor. Thank You for sharing this journey with us!
Well this was so nice to see this refresher of all the individual rooms we've seen get born as a total... you realize just how much damned hard work it took to come to this marvelous result!
Bravissimi!!!
I love every single room, even the rooms of doom, because I can see by what you've finished already that they are going to be amazing. You deserve a round of applause for all of the work you've done to make it such a stunning chateau.
The chateau is lovely and the dog is great.
Absolutely my favourite French chateau renovation. Your choice of colours is perfection. ❤
This was fun to watch the recap of all the work you’ve done! I can’t believe I’ve been watching you for four years now. You could definitely make these recap videos every four years because you do so much! Your taste is exquisite and your workmanship is beautiful! I really look forward to seeing you make your master suite! It will be really fun to see what your dream bedroom would be. I hope everything is working out fine without the B&B. I can certainly see how that would’ve been too much work for you guys, but necessary in the beginning. Thank you for your lovely videos.💗💗💗
You’ve done, and are still doing - absolutely amazing work!
Absolutely stunning beyond words,what a labour of love,what a very very lucky Chateau to have you as its custodians,
Gratulálok nektek!
Iszonyú sok munkátok van benne,gyönyörű lett!
Végig néztem ahogy készült minden a kastélyban,fantasztikusak vagytok!!!
Minden elismerésem magyarországról!❤😊
Anna, I love your chateau and especially your beautiful design choices. Each room is unique and gorgeous!
Lovely to see what you have achieved thus far. Can’t wait to see the Rooms of Doom finished into the master suite! My own room of Doom is what I call the Archive de Shame. It is my basement that actually house decades of nicely labelled bins of clothes, cupboards of China and various vessels of incomplete drink ware, appliances that I use but not everyday, Christmas decor (I am a HUGE fan of Christmas decorating (which I start at the end of November as I want to enjoy my labours as long as I can), nice furniture and pictures that I sometimes rotate upstairs … well, you get the idea. It is an archive but which houses a ridiculous amount of acquired possessions that I still like. Blah, blah, blah. I always enjoy your vlogs and look forward to your continuing adventures.
The chateau is exquisite. Love your decorating style. It allows for the history of the place combined with modern luxuries!
I look forward to seeing your future work. ❤
Anna I have watched you almost from the very beginning of you and Phillips journey.
It’s lovely to look back on all that you’ve both achieved and Benoit is such a fabulous carpenter as well as a friend.
Your home is gorgeous, tastefully decorated and each room I was able to say I remember all the work you all did to make them what they are today. Congratulations!
Looking forward to the next reno projects.
The exterior is going to look beautiful.
Love to you all from Northern California ❤❤❤ Ziggy is looking so good. He is very much at home. ❤❤❤
A wonderful tour Anna, very inspiring like listening to favourite music! I want to paint my living room, the green you used may be my choice. Everything you have done looks so beautiful, I must say! ❤
You both accomplished so much, and back then, also running your guesthouse. Very impressive. Love your channel!
Glad you enjoy it!
