I just love the way you two work together-appreciating one another’s talents and collaborating so easily.
Lamps are just right
Thank you 😊
Those drapes are magnificent! Befitting a chateau! Carol your talents are beyond the beyond! Well done AGAIN!
Thank you so much!
I am astounded by how level, plumb, and square the chateau is. Remarkable indeed. Your tile work looked like perfection with the laser. Nice to have this sort of confirmation that you are as skilled as you hope to be. I know I would be jumping for joy.
The difference in the hallway just at this point is astounding!! Both of you have incredible patience and skill! I really look forward to each new vlog and seeing your progress. As each piece is restored, the beauty of the château comes through. Take care!!
Firstly, the curtains are gorgeous, secondly I totally agree with painting the lower panels dark blue. This would make a dramatic statement to your hallway ❤
I concur. I loved when she suggested that. I think it would tie everything together beautifully and then adding just a few more brass/gold accents over time would make it perfect. Gold with the dark blue is so luxurious.
My only concern with painting the bottom panels a darker color is that, after doing so much work to lighten the dark hallway, a dark color will darken it again.
@@beverlysnow9315 not if it's kept to the bottom panels. The light comes from bouncing around the walls and ceiling.
Agreed! I could definitely see dark blue there.
The laser is amazing....very impressive! This should make all future projects a lot easier and exact. You have done a great jobs even without the laser. The wall lights and curtains look amazing Carole and Adrian....the colour and look is perfect! Well done!
Thank you very much Jane. No excuses now 😂
Wow is that a gorgeous hallway! The paint, fabric, and accessories all work together perfectly. I’m in love with the curtain fabric! Since Adrian is still working out the leveling on the floor, I would hold off on hemming the curtains. It’s my least favorite job, and I’d hate to see you have to do them twice. Thank you for sharing this journey with us.
As usual, you two are such a great team to tackle this project together! Love, love, love your fabric choice, Carol! So beautiful and crafted with such skill!
Thank you so much!
I am absolutely blown away by how beautifully the hallway is coming together!! If I may make one suggestion: if possible I would get navy blue tiebacks; the ones you have get lost against the toile.
I agree. Ties the colors together (pun intended 😂)and then echoes back with the lamp shades, too 😁
Or maybe a band of dark blue behind the tie backs to set them off. It would add an element of tailoring that would be striking.
The height of the hall lights is perfect and Carole, as always, made the perfect choice. When it all comes together, it will be fantastic! Love the curtains!
Thank you so much!
I was waiting for the cat to play with the laser lights but it’s too chilled!! Loving everything your doing in the hallway!
Yes we have a very lazy cat!
@ aww!
I love the curtains! Very impressed with your talent. All of your work is top notch!
Thank you so much!
You should reupholster the chairs you purchased for the hallway with the same fabric as the draperies.
The sconces and the curtains are perfect. 😊
Wow! I was wondering how much added work it would have taken for them to have leveled the doors and archways, etc. in years past! I just love it when new technology cuts the work in half! On the subject of the new laser; you have excellent teaching/communication skills Adrian! (On tip of all your other skills). Thank you taking the time to explain it so completely, and in layman’s terms! I appreciate that!
The curtains are perfect! So are the four hall lamps! Very elegant and tasteful! You have an eye Carol! Trust your judgement on the lower panel! Seeing through the camera’s eye I believe painting the skirt-board the deep blue would be elegant and bring attention to the beautiful floors. However, as you have observed; we don’t see it in real life, but filtered through the camera according to megapixels, etc.
When it is all finished, I would love to see what it looks like at night with only the lighting in the hall! I would love to see the elegance and drama those lights create! Thank you for sharing!!! Love your Chanel!! ❤
Thank you Joan! 😊
I wish they had laser levels back when my old Hungarian farm house was contructed before 1900. There is not 1 corner square, wall intersection plumb or level floor in the place but I love it anyway because it is all mine and no debt.😃😃😃😃 It is warm in the winter, cool in the summer and dry even after a monsoon rain.
Sounds better than a modern house!
@ absolutely better. Mortgages and other cost can ruin home ownership
I love the throwback to the wallpaper by using that pattern for the curtains!! The hallway is looking great!
I love the curtains and I love the light colour blue on the walls. Great job!
Thanks so much! 😊
You two are the dream team of Chateau renovations. Adrian, there isn’t a job you can’t put your hand to. Carol your design is fabulous. The choice of curtains, the colour. Yet it is all practical for living. The colours bring light into the hallway, the curtain length doesn’t collect dust. Both of you have such attention to detail. What will you do when it’s all finished?😂❤
It will never be finished 😂
Adrian, not to worry, it looks just fine. Between the splash of color from the wall lamps, and the drapes/curtains, it is and will be an amazing hallway. Good work! Can’t wait to see what it will look like when the parquet will be done.
Love the color, love the toile curtains, love the chairs. That blue on them is perfection.
The laser level is indeed a very handy and clever tool to have. The curtains of the main door are outstanding.
Looking Beautiful 🎉
Beautiful as always! The sconces are fantastic with their shades, and the curtains.... Just wow! ( I like the chairs too lol)
The hall is becoming so bright because of the colors you used,what a difference it is.The use of a laser is very handy indeed Adrian and it showed us how awesome good you've worked with the floor and the tiles. I think you are Mr and Mrs Perfect.
Yes! Thank you!
Yellow light showing in through curtains …. In Australia for decades we have used a thermal lining on our curtains, can’t believe you don’t use it in France!! Beautiful job Carole on the making!
The sconces look sooo nice. I love the curtains. It all looks very sophisticated
The lights in the hallway are perfect! It truly pays to take the time to find the right ones.
Your hall is getting so pretty already. I am getting excited to see it decorated for Christmas with a huge tree in the stairwell. I love how well all your purchases work together, paint, lights, chairs, fabric and tassels. It is elegant and cheerful which is not a combination that you see that often.
Thank you 😊
That was a good presentation for the laser level. They couldn't have picked a better person to sell it. Carole the curtains look brilliant. X
Thank you Sue!
The curtains are incredible. As to the dark navy on the bottom: pro - it will hide scuffs and knocks better, con, it will keep the eye grounded and people will be less likely to look up to the beautiful arches and architecture. Always amazed at both your skills! Can you imagine what those curtains would have cost??
I love new tools. The curtains look wonderful. It’s all a work in progress! Well done by both of you. Bravo!
oooh, a new toy for Adrian. I want one. What a surprise to find the walls, floor and ceiling are so close to square considering it was built nearly 200 years ago. That is a lot of years of settling and shifting plus the years of neglect with openings to the weather. I's say the old girl is remarkably in good shape taking all of that into account.
What a treat to see curtain hooks of that age still around and in good condition. For me it is no longer a "I remember when" to a "Seeee, that's what I was talking about. I'm not making that up. They really did and do exist and they are a lot better than the plastic junk of today." 😊 Brass might tarnish but plastic yellows and gets brittle & breaks. Curtains/drapes need to be laundered about once a year'. That's when you clean the brass. Plastic won't handle just opening the curtains for more than a few years. OK. Rant over. Carole, guess how happy I am to see those brass hooks? : - )
The curtains look lovel with the lighter blue walls! Carole, you are a wonderful, skilled seamstress! Fantastic job!
Thank you so much!
Carol honestly you both are so handy imagine all the money you saved doing it all yourselves and first class at thatxxx
Incomparable how the old master builders succeeded by all measures when they built your chateau. And that they still hold in the present tense!
I absolutely love your astetic. The attention to detail in this house gives me joy. From the wood work to the indecisiveness of the design. I live for it all.🎉❤🎉
Those curtains are beautiful Carol. I do love how you and Adrian collaborate with each other and get each one's opinion on what ever subject you are doing on the chateau. Have a lovely day.
Oh what a relief that is knowing the staircase isn't the thing which is sagging on that corner! 💙
I really like that blue curtain fabric. I saw a similar pattern on a clothing website and was tempted to buy things they had on hand with it.
Yes it’s just Carole and I starting to sag 😂😂😂
@ hahaha 🤣 oh myyy! That's not what I meant and she better not see this or no dessert after dinner for you! She may punish you with more flooring to rip up as soon as the hall is done! I hear the second story as well as the carriage house could use some work right afterwards! 🤣
The total look is gorgeous!!! It looks so very special. Enjoy the rewards of your hard work!
Thank you! Will do!
Amazing LAZER Device . It is truly helpfull for the CHATEAU . You can check and mesure for large room, long hallway. I think that we can say to CAROLE that the CHATEAU will not fall during the following 4 centuries . The curtains are perfect . With the same pattern than the old hallway and nice color. You are still at the TOP.
Thank you Philippe!
I just love the fact that the fabric of the curtains have the motif of the ancient wallpaper. So beautiful you guys 😮
Never understood the laser until Adrian takes time to explain how it works visually. Thank you. At least if someone yacks on to me about one I now have an understanding and won’t look a complete plonker 😂
I love the touch of blue everywhere in the hallway. Beautiful job on the curtains. So professional! And the tie back thingies are perfect. You two are the Jack and Jackie of all trades. Impressive!
Thanks so much! 😊
I love the draperies. They are beautiful and it's wonderful you found the pattern that was on the wallpaper. The hallway is going to be so elegant.
Carole and Adrian you have done it again the hallway is coming together great liking the curtains Carole really nice see you both soon take care 💕🌼🤗
Dark blue and brass colors are STRIKING together.
Hugh satisfaction when the laser level shows perfection! 👏🏼👏🏼 Marvelous job on the gorgeous drapery! 👏🏼👏🏼 the renovation is exciting because you both are precise, talented, skilled and fun! ❤
Thank you so much! The cheques in the post 😂😂😂
Coming along beautifully 😍 How amazing that the levels of this old building are so good! Shows the amazing craftsmanship of the time x
Carol, could you be persuaded to re-think the "no puddling" ? I believe you SHOULD have the puddling because it makes the windows look even better!! The curtains are beautiful and you've done such a great job.... One thing.... I wonder if you should have done a blue lining on the curtains...thereby allowing them to look fuller???? The light shining thru them take away some of the "look". Wonderful Job!!!!
Thank you for the suggestion, the curtains will only be pulled at night so the light won't shine through I don't think it's a good idea to have puddling at the front door, as all the dust will blow in and collect on the puddles! So sorry!!
looking good. I love the curtains! the pretty chairs beside them and the sconces with their little shades.. all look so pretty together!
You're right, no puddling of the drapes by a door.
I'd love to see some drippy beads/jewels from the bottom of those little dark lamp shades in the hallway. Add some sparkle when/if they get wired up.
I love how it's all coming along.
Wonderful job on the header tape of the drapery. . Next time you are up there hanging the curtains please ring the front door bell so we can hear it on the video ( that's if it hooked up). The bell looked so charming hanging by the door. Cant wait until you take us shopping for an entry way rug, or hallway runner. Also, I agree that the blue would look very nice on the bottom skirting boards. Maybe that's where you could add a little gold leaf on the trim.
Hoping to go shopping this week 😜
I like idea of painting the lower paneling in the dark blueish color and I’d paint the doors the same color. Hallway looks great! N
The hallway went from a dungeon to light, bright, beautiful! Love the sconces!
Such a pleasure to see the fruits of your labor. The sense of accomplishment must be off the charts!
TY for sharing...🤗
You are so welcome!
Carole, why don't you consider adding the dark inky blue fabric behind the drapery panels? That way, you can black-out your hallway if you like. Maybe it's true the light would not come through the figures on the drapes, illuminating them; but, I think the figures would stand out on their own, anyway. Also, I vote for the inky-blue skirting boards idea. That would look dramatically beautiful!
So so lovely! The hallway is a million times better already. I bet it's shocking to come out of the salon in eve with the lamps lit,,just perfect. Thanks for your humor and work/talents!!❤❤
The hallway is looking fantastic. I like the idea of the bottom panels painted to match the little lampshades and the toile de jouy draperies. Of course, it will depend on how the floor coloring turns out and whether or not it makes the hallway appear too dark again.
That’s the plan
If you’re going to ‘install’ pullbacks for the curtains in the hall (I think you’re right & you should) then going OTT and putting them in the central circles is the only way to do it.
But use hooks that are gorgeous on their own behalf’s so when the curtains are closed the hooks look amazing by themselves.
The curtains fabric is beautiful. The hallway is turning into another stunning project.
Absolutely beautiful curtains, your sewing skills are bar none!
Oh my you have impeccable taste the sconces on the wall the curtains absolutely stunning ❤
The doors and arches in your hallway have so much beautiful detailing, it is pure eye candy for anyone that looks at it and experiences it in person or seeing the hallway in the video. I too, love the drapes for the windows.
Thank you so much!
Wow!! Love the curtains and the beautiful tassels!! Great job making them.
I am a horsey gal and I LOVE the Toile curtains…..well done. Love the blue on the chairs too…❤
The curtains and the tassels are beautiful, as are the 4 sconces, I love the colors! The hall is going to be amazing!
Thanks so much! 😊
Oh my, I can't wait till the finish, seeing it all lit up. It will be a stunning welcoming entrance. Great job, guys. YOU ROCK!!! LOVE IT❤
Thanks so much!!
I love it when you work at turbo speed…wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could do that in real life? lol
Gorgeous work all around - striking lamps & perfect curtains!
I would hold off painting the lower panels blue until the floor is in place - a darker blue colour there might overtake the floor completely.
Perhaps a (slightly) darker beige & align the panel colourscheme with the doors instead, rather than with curtains & lampshades - just a gut feeling & looking forward to seeing your final decisions 🥂 🎉
That’s exactly what I will be doing Molly!
Everything looks beautiful! You to continue to amaze me! Such talent!!😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the curtains! Tassels perfect, blue chairs perfect. And the sconces have a clean elegance that works perfectly. Crystal sconces would have been a cliche whereas these are a delightful surprise.
Thanks so much! 😊
I hope some other chateau owners are following how you are making drapes! Well done! The hallway is coming along nicely. Following from Iowa USA🥰
Fabulous curtains love all the colours in the hall and the wall lights and the chairs
Kind regards Nicholas
Everything you have chosen the color of the hall way, lamps, curtains and chairs looks perfect!!!!
Oh my...the curtains are perfection.
You are all but imperceptibly perfect with your renovations Carol and your taste is impeccable. Great idea to do the panels at the bottom of the wall the same colour as the wall lampshades.
Hi Carole & Adrian, the hallway is looking beautiful. Great job on the curtains, they look perfect. Carole I'm always in awe at how talented you are! The sconces look perfect as well and really suit the hall. How nice to get the laser level...they certainly come in handy, although Adrian, you've done such a fantastic job with out it. Take care, have a wonderful week. Lots of love Kathy x
Thank you! You too!
Can't wait to see it finished.
The symmetry of the hallway is amazingly accurate.
Love the hallway and everything in it!
A possible curtain pull solve that will cost very little. You have bamboo. Cut bamboo to needed length ( use segmented ends. Thinnest end drill a hole and place a ring and attach to curtain ring. Paint bamboo color you desire. Easy-peazy. Of course, you have to dry out the bamboo, but that won't take long.
I was a little iffy about the color for the sconce shades. I know it's your home and all, and I'm giving you my unsolicited opinion, but please bear with me. I love that inky blue, yet it seemed a little strong against the wall, and then you mentioned the curtains. That amazing fabric is going to look amazing with the sconces and their dark little shades. I'm now eagerly anticipating that reveal!
Your drapes are amazing. I salute your ability to work with so much fabric at one time. Beautiful work!
Thank you so much!
I love the curtains, well done.. I would like to suggest putting a blue backing on them so when they are closed the light doesn't come through them and make the curtains look beige and blue instead of white and blue. I think blue panels on the bottom of the walls would tie everything together..
Great job 👏🏻 Carol looking better and better well done. You both are truly talented in restoring this lovely home 🥰🙋♀️🙋♀️
Thanks so much! 😊
Cant expect everything is level and square given that the building is so old. As long as its all as even as possible and safe, you just have to compensate. Love the choices of colours as it is so bright. 👍😁😁
Completely agree the lights look just right in the hall
I LOVE the idea of the bottom paneling being dark blue like the shades!
Wow that laser is fantastic!!! Drapes are stunning
It’s all coming together beautifully. So far I’ve enjoyed everything about this project.
The laser level will come in so handy with the enormous amount of work you have to do. Love the sconces in the hall, they are perfect! I do love your selections for each project from lighting, to paint, to fabrics and furniture, they all come together for a splendid look that is so pleasing and welcoming.
Thank you Lisa!
Curtains are a triumph - amazing attention to detail- fabulous - I don’t think I would have thought about the exact level and then I would have been disappointed when they were up- so another lesson learnt and put in the knowledge box - so thanks x
Love the colors of the hallway so much elegance and light. The tones of white are a perfect choice.
Look how bright and clean!!!! If I were to use that inky blue, I'd put it on the ceiling. It would look great with light reflecting off it.
The hallway is looking so lovely. I really love all the decorating choices. So pretty. The sconces were a wonderful find, so lucky!
The wall sconces are perfect and the curtains as well. I can't wait to see the flooring back down. I love the walls painted the lighter color and like the solid better than the busy wallpaper. I am not a fan of painting the panels dark I think it will distract from the lamp shades and curtains. I would rather reserve it for the soft furnishings and accessories. At any rate it is looking spectacular just. like the Salon.
love the lighting and those curtains are beautiful! going to be another amazing transformation, bringing light into the area. 👏👏
The scones are a great match and the hall is looking very elegant
