Everything is coming along nicely! It's so nice Carole that your daughter is helping and being your camera person. You are a beautiful family and love seeing you together! I love the stairwell and railing going to the basement....it is so beautiful and with Adrian's touch and updates, it will look amazing! It is a real keeper for sure.
Thank you Jane! And thank for being a regular watcher, we always see you icon on each video 😊
So glad you changed the intro music! The old one sounded so dire, like the chimes of doom! New one is so much better, more uplifting!
So happy to see Carol using a respirator when sanding. Did know you can get a N95 with a valve that allows you to exhale and keeps thing cooler? Just look for 3M N95 with a valve. I think the salon is going to be simply stunning!
Hi, I have a 3M mask with a valve but Carole prefers to use her own mask
Beth your choice of Uni study sounds so interesting. Congrats to you! Nice to see Adrian’s toothbrush still in use on the reno’s lol. The salon wallpaper sample is gorg!
That is the most elaborate and over the top gorgeous molding I've seen in any of the chateau salons and I am wondering if the chateau builder was of high birth or extremely wealthy. The detail is exquisite.
This is one of the main reasons why we bought this Chateau
@ I have no doubt. I am truly in awe of its majesty. Do other rooms in the chateau have this much elaborate molding or is it specific to this room? I've really never seen anything like it and so appreciate the time and detail you're putting into it. It will be museum quality when it's done.
Only the salon has this amount of details on the coving but most rooms have some decorative features
Lovely vlog today, my goodness that molding is amazing up close. Thanks Bethany for hiking up the ladder for a peek
Your welcome Sandy. 😆
What a darling thing! So sweet. sucky sweets, And now a delicious treat---onions.
Those are massive panels. That trim at the ceiling is amazing 😻
Ok found it. Bethany is on the same education pathway as my daughter. Eve is going into 4 th year.
Carol you are looking so well and healthy. Beautiful tan too.
Wow, those are the biggest green onions I ever saw.
Carole you crack me up teasing Adrian.
Love those little plant sticks!
Hi Carole, it's always so nice to hear you and your daughter talking, really loving the videos! The basement bannister rail and staircase is really nice, I'm sure Adrian will do a wonderful job with it. I hope the sprayer is a game changer for you Carole. Thank you for sharing, take really good care of each other, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x 💖 (Canada)
The task you face in the salon is incredibly monumental! From the start, I wondered how you would ever do all that needs done. But you are doing it, bit by bit. And one day, it will be fabulously beautiful! Think of it as redecorating Miss Haversham's wedding cake after it has sat idle for many, many decades, restoring it to pristine condition! What a job!
But I know you will do it, and very well!
Lovely all going well
Wow you startled me when you said “if I can show you” at 7.41 minutes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You have such patience with the tedious repair of all that molding. Hope the sprayer works splendidly for you Carol.
Oooh those veggie picks are too adorable!
For the onions - perhaps give them away to the neighbors of if there's a little restaurant nearby that could use them (and perhaps exchange for a meal?) would be excellent. We have tons of green onions and my mom takes a lot of them, chops them, and then uses my food dehydrator instead of freezing to use throughout the year.
The salon is so beyond words! A labor of love restoration. WOW! WOW room even now! When finished a must to be in Architectural Digest!!! Love the huge onions and there are so many ways to eat with them. There is an artist and farmer there all in one!!
That back staircase is gorgeous, very charming.
Make a mold from other coving work pour in plaster of Paris with epoxy added for strength and flexibility.
Again, I cannot compliment you enough on your work ethic and progress! The salon is truly magnificent!!! And such a wonderful family effort! You are an inspiration!!!
Thank you Diana I'm taking this room slowly, as I don't want to loose interest and enthusiasm Cx
Delightful!

I like the idea of opening the stairs and donating the extra spring onions. I agree with whoever suggested contacting Anna at Bonfleur who designed her own wallpaper. I bet Carole could do it as well. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
This castle very gorgeous. The bedrooms looks so pretty... are you do like pink in a bedroom ? Its just color that goes right for the rooms.
Fantastic you really work hard all off
Glad you liked your vegetable markers, the first one was meant to be for james for Father’s Day 🙈 it’s a chilli 🌶 I forgot to take it out.
Aren’t they so cool!!!
Too good for outside and James. 😂
Wow those onions...we call your spring onions Green onions, or scallions, in the USA...are HUGE! What is your secret?? The salon coving, moulding, is the most beautifully detailed I've ever seen. I can't wait to see what little details you give it, from gold leafing to pearling, oh it's going to be gorgeous!
Wow! That’s going to take awhile emptying out the kitchen, utility room, etc. The staircase is so nice I hope you can keep it Adrian. It will be nice if you open it up sounds good.
Yes I’m not looking forward to emptying my workshop, especially as I can’t use another room now
the panels and all the detail are going to be so pretty when you get it all done.
Can’t wait to see what Bethany is up to with the wallpaper. It’s lovely to see and hear you together.
I have so missed your gentle sparring Carole and Adrian ❤️ - has Adrian found his toothbrush yet ?
Looks like a new kitchen is in the pipeline… ?
It was interesting to see the moulding close up.
And an exclusive paper reveal ❤️❤️
Yes a new kitchen willbe in the pipeline, but there is a blockage first!!!
💕Maybe you could put the Utility room at the bottom of the stairs in the cellar giving you more kitchen space💕Or have I got the layout wrong💕
We did consider that but realised the kitchen is plenty large enough. We even considered moving the stairway to the other end of the château
In the US we call them green onions.
What an endless project 😊 you guys must sleep well at Night total exhausted 😂
😴
Love the stairwell staircase can't wait for you to put the magical touch on it 🌌.The vegetables on sticks are so cute🤗 Great camera work 🤗
Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
You may be able to buy some ready made plaster moulding similar to your tracing
Yes, there's no hurry on this , as the marble fireplace willbe replaced first, so not as to disturb any of the mouldings. Cx
Glad hubby is home. Love all the things you and Bethany got up to. The wall paper is pretty. Those onions would make a yummy soup. Well done. Adrian, that staircase and wall removal will look smashing. Crack on!
Thanks so much and well keep cracking on!
Wow, the detail, Carol on the mouldings!! I would go mad!! Adorable plant stakes!! I agree, I would want loads!! The stairwell was a nice surprise, Adrian. It will be stunning in time!! Thanks, Beth for your camerawork!! Much appreciated!!! USA
Thanks for your kind comments!
I like your lead in music. Very calming but moving.
It’s amazing how things progress hugely being done bit by bit! You are seeming to go ahead in leaps and bounds Carole on a very intricate process. Won’t you be glad to get to the whole panels that can be done in one hit! I can just see the back staircase rejuvenated and brought back to it’s glowing original condition. I love the design of the railings. 👏👌🥰
There is a way to copy the molding easy! if you have the molding preserved on any of the other walls, all you have to do is buy one of those silicone putty (you can find them in any DIY store) and imprint the existing mold on it, this would make the job so much easier! :)
That back stairway is amazing! I love how it curves……. Bringing the wood back is going to be epic, can’t even imagine it!
Love spring onions, I need more space for a proper garden. If it was me I’d be so over the moulding after doing them in the dinning room, clearly your a patient woman Carol. You should reach out to Anna from “ How to Renovate A Chateau (without killing your partner), maybe she can show you how to make wallpaper. Anna has made several prints that resemble the pattern you showed us today. Cheers Kirk
i actually have very little patience, with Adrian!!!!!! Anna had a block print made and then printed it on, unless you have seen one different to myself?
That’s a pretty good tip for storing onions. 👍 So much to look forward to in the next few weeks. See y’all soon.
I read your news on the Internet, I hope to be with you
Unsure what you mean?
Carole the detail work is looking so good. It must be nice having your daughter there to help you and keep you smiling. You are really moving along nicely in the salon. I love the staircase railing with its curve. It’s those beautiful details that you won’t find anymore. The spring onions are gorgeous. I think with todays outrageous prices those two onions would probably cost $10.00 US. And wouldn’t be as delicious and fresh. I love the vegetable markers from Rebecca. What a cute way of labeling your garden rows. xx
They are so cute, I don't want to put them in the garden!
@Stephanie Garomon
A bag of oranges here in the western part of the states is $10 a bag (6 oranges in a bag)!! Can you believe it?! Yikes!! Blessings wherever you are!!! USA
Hi Carole!!! I'm back from Florida holiday and I decided to start with the latest video you have done and I will be working my way backwards!!! I noticed that you must have spent some time out by the pool, you look nice and golden!!! The house we rented had a pool and I was in it every day! I suggest if you go on holiday, do not look at your phone, do not look at your computer and do not watch tv. It is soooo relaxing!!! Back to reality!! Missed watching all of you getting a lot done!!!! Love the little veg from Etsy!! Adorable. Love from raining, cold Wisconsin (not like Florida at all!!!)
Kathy, so glad you had a fabulous holiday with no distractions and a pool to laze by. Nope, I haven't sat by the pool, just doing jobs in the garden, but this week, the temperature rises to 35, so I'm blowing up my most comfortable lilo and and I'll be ready! Sorry its raining there, but good for the plants!
You certainly are cracking on and doing such a fantastic job.
Great job the walls are looking great.
Perhaps sculpt children's play clay into the moldings pattern, create molds from that.
(We used Crayola to form a "dam" around an object we wanted to recreate, half at a time for a dividing line; with a 2 part rubber mixture that solidified .
We also used silicone, (those tubes) to make softer molds we pinned together & had plaster cast as a mold support on the outside.
I thought about silicone carefully piped then patted down to make flater. No hurry the fireplace has to go in first, before I even think about the panel above Cx
The trim in the grand saloon is beautiful cannot wait for the finish your present from your daughter are cute Carole x🌼🤗💕
Loved the plant markers. So sweet.
Me too!!
looks like you are moving onto another big project with the salon still under way, Sure you can handle it but looks like a lot of work...
Have you tried using no more nails to stick the mouldings onto the wall and ceiling?
only a suggestion, maybe not practical, but could you not make a stencil up with the design of the wall paper that you want, line the panels then stencil the design and then you have the control over the colours that you want?
Anyway work progressing well, well done.. Robb Torremolinos Spain.
Hi Robb. Adrian will be starting the new project, while I continue to work on the salon. We are investigating copying the paper a little more, as I'm still not happy with anything I've found.
Wow what a great staircase to the basement. Love it! Carol your a superstar in detail work. Bravo 👏🏻
PG Tips Attention to detail carol your brilliant !!! Love the stairs your going to keep Adrian too nice to get rid of I bet they will look great 👍 when sorted etc . Crack on 😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
But won’t Adrian need work space/counters if all is moved in the cellar area
It may go faster to spray paint the walls the base color, and go in afterwards to paint the trim and moldings. Enjoy the white and gray/pewter color in the grand salon
He'll manage he has plenty of outbuildings, he just doesn't want to walk outside! Cx
The Grand Salon is coming along so nicely! The moldings are so intricate and full of details! Adrian's toothbrush comes in handy while he is away...lol How sweet are the garden markers! too cute! I am withholding my opinion on the wallpaper sample until further research is done...lol I was always told to use panty hose not tights to hold the onions. Tights are thicker and less breathable. But it might be a translation thing..lol Can't wait to see what y'all come up with about the utility room and stairs. Have a great week!
As far as I’m aware, pantyhose are tights. Tights comes in various denier.
I'm wondering could you dry the spring onions and plait them like you would garlic, then store them in the basement.
I'll keep watching to find out what you decided to do with them all.
Have a cup of water with you to dip your finger in before smoothing out the caulking in the cracks. It makes for a smoother finish with less clumping.
I have another way, but couldn't show on camera!
Spring onions won't keep like others..you'll have to consume them, or blanche them and freeze in a vacuum package..or cook them into a huge ratatouille and freeze the ratatouille in 2 person sized tupperwares.....or cook in other recipes...onion soup???
Can’t wait to see the kitchen and utility room (or laundry as we call it in Australia) get started! Carol, have you got your kitchen planned out already?
Haha NO! I can't think that far ahead! Cx
OMG I love the tights and onions idea, am definitely going to try it!!!
Go for it. 😂
There are computer run woodcutting machines that can do intricate designs. I don't know if you could give them a drawing and they could do it from drawing, it might have to be in a form that the computer can read.
Michael Petheric might have some ideas too.
Loved those veggies. I think if you were in the uk you would find a wallpaper as there is so much choice.... perhaps you need to make a trip.... 🤔🤔🤔
Hi Denise, Carole has been over numerous times with no luck. Best papers we've seen so far have been from the USA
@ oh my word you need a fan on utube to send it to you perhaps...... damn it.
Love the process of fixing the mouldings but have been thinking instead of using you finger which is sometimes too big, would a brush be a better option or something small in the way of a pointed scraper . Just a suggestion , keep up the good work .
Sometimes I use a small paintbrush dipped in washing up liquid, this helps it dissolve into the cracks. Or the dental tools I was sent Cx
Fun vlog.
Carol, I must of missed the storey of how you bought this place and do you still have your home in UK. Adrain says he was away working??
Hi Ann! If you watch our Q&A we explain everything! If you’re struggling with the sound you may have to turn subtitles on as it is a little echoey in the video unfortunately!
maybe consider a collaboration with woodubend decorative mouldings, perhaps they can recreate it from your stencil, check them out amazing products which you can bend, cut and manipulate into lovely shapes …………
I've seen their products, when I've been searching for mouldings they are very good
have you looked at "This Old Hudson Natural Neutral Rose Damask Wallpaper
By Zio and Sons"
Looks great but its just not quite there for me. Thank you Sharon for taking the time to look. Hoping eventually I will get there......
Hey Adrian. Just when you were filming downstairs in the utility room under the stairs. It look like there was another blocked up entrance behind the shelves! Cannot remember if you’ve mentioned it in previous vlogs. Do you know where that leads too?
Hi James. Under the stairs is the corner of the château so no secret room.
It's lots of work
Have you ever considered opening up your chateau to local students of whatever might be relevant? Or local carpenters? Or stonewrights? Or anything like that? You could turn that whole joint into a real DIY Mecca, and all that with other RUclipsrs doing what you're doing. You're part of a HUGE community, but loosely linked. You cats need to work on that. Just watching foreigners save any part of the French patrimoine gives me joy. You cats kick ass right now. Kick higher!
Filling of one’s cracks can be a rather joyous occasion. I had this girlfriend..... Well...... that’s for another time..😏😏😏
Carole, I see that you’ve passed our wit onto Beth as well.... Love to you and all of the family... 😘
That's more like it Jamie! Bethany cringes at some of the remarks we make!!! Hope you are well Cx
@ Thank you Carole! Well.... she’s young and still a bit shy... Don’t worry, she’ll get on the right track ! 😁
Hi Bethany🖐🏻
Hahahaha Hi Jamie 😂
Stunning mouldings in the Salon, l love the pelmets over the windows. What hight is the ceiling it looks 15 to sixteen feet ?
My drawing room in a Georgian house built in 1768 is 12 to 13 feet and have too use step ladder wonderful proportion room l would not want it higher
Kind regards Nicholas 😊
The rooms are 13’ high
Deve ter uma longa história esse edifício, quantas pessoas viveram aí e os recursos que haveriam nessa epoca e as guerras ,soldados que passaram por aí????
We are struggling to find any history on the château
@ eu fico feliz por me darem vosso feeedback.adoro historia de edificios historicos apesar de ja ter saido da escola ha varios anos !
Bom dia seria posdivel colocar traducao em.portugues ,esta a fazer um belissimo servico nesse palacio ,esplendido !😁🇵🇹😘
Hi Carla! Unfortunately I don’t believe we get to decide which translations are made available, that’s RUclipss job! Sorry about that, I hope you are still able to enjoy the videos!
PPE to protect you from lead dust in the paint? I hope it was tested before stripping?
This looks exciting????😃
👍👍❤
barter your excess vegetable with others that maybe have things like chickens and eggs etc.
Yes, here in the US we call them pantyhose. But yes… it is absolutely wonderful for keeping onions. 😊
Why are you tracing when you can take a photo and use a tape measure to show the size/scale and have a graphic artist create a illustrator file to be used as a template for a 3D molder or a plaster/mason? And you need to learn to do castings of pieces you pick off the wall ...
Hiya, you may be new to our channel but we create all our own moulds from the wall decor and recreate them in plaster! Graphic designers are pricey, we can save money by doing this ourselves (especially and Adrian is a graphic designer himself!)
Well, your house will keep you busy the next 20 years ahead 😬
And the rest 😂😊
