I know why Stephanie's favorite spot in the whole castle is that narrow passage in the attic with mirrors on either side, she feels exactly like a Chanel model in the 1960's with Mademoiselle Chanel puffing on her cigarettes at the top of the stairs....
Amoury does a perfect 7 year old boy in trouble face when questioned then calls out for backup from Dan! You guys absolutely make my day with each episode!
Love seeing Curtis and his husband at lalande with all you beautiful people. Love all your energy and excitement. It's wonderful to feel part of it watching everyday I love it.
I have a great idea for the green wooden Christmas tree that was in mummy’s bathroom last year 2021. Screw in small hooks at the end of each branch and then you can hang baubles/ornaments from each little hook. It will bring new life! Perhaps a woodland creature tree or squirrels and hedgehogs! 😉
15 years ago I say crochet snowflakes on Ebay. I think it was a Canadian lady. I ended up buying about 250 of them. They make a beautiful christmas tree. I combine then all the time with white and clear baubles or wit green ones, on theur owns with garland of tiny snowballs. And best of all they all fit in one shoebox!
Curtis and Filippo are an amazing couple, I love them, so sweet and generous. Their room was done beautifully and the flowers were fabulous. You are a great chautelain Stephanie!!! La Lande is a festive and joyous place always but the holidays are over the top magical!!!!❤
Good to see Curtis and Fillipo, just a merry time. Decorations I love. Stephanie and Phillip you have some good help there. Natie and Amuary, Marie, lovely video.
The new bath looks great, you should put LED lights above each shelf in the niches. Then light can showcase what ever you put the shelf plus it could serve as a night light. Cheers Kirk
When you put the lights away after Christmas, you should wrap the various sets around parts of the lids of all of the boxes you get in Cadeaux, then put them in rows back in that trunk or somewhere in Narnia.
Oh the Aloysius book... I purchased the book last year and read it for our Thanksgiving guests this year. I enjoy telling everybody I know about the Chateau Diaries and all the cast of characters.
I too purchased the Aloysius book last year! Keep it right next to my area of the Living Room that I enjoy best of all, and do show guests and also tell them about Lalande. It is great having a part of LaLande with you, I feel. It is the best I can do, and not maybe too much but I feel closer to everyone just having it here.
If you wrap the lights around a piece of card, they don't tangle and are easy to use next time, plus, they store better like your trims do, flat! Someone gave me the idea and now I'm passing that on as you have the same problem as I once had :0)... Oh bum, just as I wrote this Stehanie said same lol lol x
I hate to make more work for Dan :) but I think the mirrored wardrobes should be in the more open area so that people have space to look at themselves when trying on pieces from the costume cupboards.
I love the pink wall color in the new bathroom. It is so pretty with the tiles and can't wait for when the wallpaper goes up. Maria - the flowers are beautiful!!! And the room and tree is SO awesome. Best of all lovely to see Curtis and Filippo and Amelia! Much love to all. Steph - - could you ask Filippo if he would be so kind to SING while he's there? I absolutely love his voice and if we were super lucky, we would hear you and Philip as well. Thank you! ❤️😘
thought you were in a "hall of mirrors" when you where first in the attic lol. When you pack the lights away, use a coat hanger to wrap the lights around, it keeps them in order. Its all looking lovely
Okay so my extra suggestions for the full narnia effect if you want to do the victorian lamp post etc... you need to turn the old bathroom into a secret dressing room (for people trying out fancy dress options) with a small heater and winter forest wallpaper, but hide the doorway to it inside a wardrobe full of fur coats with the back removed.... and you need to find a way to sneak in a painting of an old ship in a storm somewhere in the big room hehe On a practical note while you still have space, can I suggest putting an old table and chairs up there somewhere so you all have a surface to rest boxes on or pile up the things you need to take downstairs without putting it all on the floor or always crouching down?
It's like Christmas every day at the Chateau! I wish I was there. Those chocolates, yum. I've never heard Stephanie so hyper! Lovely visitors. I second wanting to meet Amaury!
Aaaahh, now that there are dogs at La Lande I feel like it is complete. I'm a dog mumma and I just love their presence, wherever possible. A beautiful joyful episode, once again. Every second of it!
After the holidays you will have to wind the lights around some stiff board ready for next year to make things easier. So many wardrobes. Love all the trimmings
Another suggestion cut and cover empty presents box and lids for pantry. I.e. spices, Sauces, rices, flours, oils etc. Glad u took on Xmas light idea 💡 x
I’ve just re-watched one of last years Christmas vlogs, you two and Kat singing Carols, ah, it was so lovely! This was fab too, I do miss Kat though ❤️
How exciting to see all the new arrivals and all the treats... and believe you still have trees to do, can’t wait to see them all finished.......oh bye the way I’m WATCHING Yes my eyes are positive they spied something..........Donna in Toronto
Ian reinforced the floor and put insulation in the main part of the attic this year. They can put a whole apartment up there some day in the new cleared out space.😁🍭❤🌺🌹🥂
I love all of the wardrobes there fabulous and I’m thinking you can never have enough of them lol 😂 excesses is best Stephanie I have to say im going to revamp my chandelier shades and put my own fabric on them and the fabric is yellow and a dark blue lol I got the idea from when you and Philip did the lampshades there so thank you both 🥰
I love Curtis! He has the definitive quote: "If you do not know who Stephanie Jarvis is, you have not done the pandemic right!" I borrow that line often..😊
Stephanie, you really have created an Armoire wonderland in the attic. Your mother will faint from the organizational order that has happened in there.
I had a permanent smile on my face watching you all this morning. I always watch your videos first thing in the morning as I prep breakfast for the family and prepping my children’s pack lunches for school. How I wish we were there with you all!
Stephanie you need to purchase two back lift belts for the guys to prevent their backs!!!!!!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there ??
Prevent their backs 😮???
I fully understand Stephanie’s excitement about storage! There is nothing better than being organised 😊
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there ??

Molly has been such a good girl this year.
Can she have her Christmas presents on film please.
Greetings from England
Realy Stephanie, you should put a walk through closet where the door is ... for the real Narnia feel :-)
Amoury does a perfect 7 year old boy in trouble face when questioned then calls out for backup from Dan! You guys absolutely make my day with each episode!
Maria is so, so talented and efficient!! A real gem. Those flower arrangements are beautiful!
colorful for christmas.
In true Italian fashion he bring all the goods for an Italian feast .
I love that Amaury also appreciates beauty and has a creative eye along with his many talents.
So glad they’re here Such great cooks and so kind and generous
Amury is always so helpful!!, and so handsome….. did I mention handsome??
Saw your lights when you take them down wrap around large piece of card
Love seeing Curtis and his husband at lalande with all you beautiful people. Love all your energy and excitement. It's wonderful to feel part of it watching everyday I love it.
with curfews, is he going to be stranded there. lol

As an Italian living abroad I almost cried when I saw the Esselunga boxes :) ragazzi siete stupendi ❤️
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋👋👋
Esselunga rules
That attic can hold a lot more armorers
Love Curtis, he is such a dramatic, cheeky, wonderful, interesting addition.
Trees around the fountain! 😻
Curtis and Filippo are an amazing couple, I love them, so sweet and generous. Their room was done beautifully and the flowers were fabulous. You are a great chautelain Stephanie!!! La Lande is a festive and joyous place always but the holidays are over the top magical!!!!❤
Amaury's innuendos, classic.

Love Amory’s attitude with completing “Narnia,” and of course there’s Dan being Dan lol!
I use rectangles of cardboard with notches on the edge to wrap lights. Saves lots of time. Would love a Narnia attic to help with organization

I was wondering yesterday about a radiator update? For the holiday guests.
The whole system needs a reboot so instead of doing patches they will be doing the whole thing from scratch in the new year.
Oh the Aloysius book... I purchased the book last year and read it for our Thanksgiving guests this year. I enjoy telling everybody I know about the Chateau Diaries and all the cast of characters.

Hmm. I'm envisioning Narnian wallpaper all around the walls in the attic! Fauns and little woodland animals, and a white witch on a sleigh!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋
Dan: "I'm never ever coming here again."
You get roped into so much more than gardening! Hope you're paid on spec, and not by the hour.
Yes he is a consultant. Oops Contractor.🤣❤
It's beginning to feel like Christmas 🎄
Hello how are you doing ?
WOW!! WELL DONE! APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE. adore the wardrobes!
Hello how are you doing ?
You could also do shelves with clear plastic tubs that are labeled until you get the rest of the wardrobes in!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there 😁🙏😐👋
Ah, dogs complete everything! I love the bedroom and tree so much, and the bouquets Maria created are beautiful!! ♥️

Lovely to see Curtis and Fillipo! I love to see how you celebrate the holidays.
Love seeing Ryan Woodstock as I also love his vlogs from Tuscany he is sooo interesting and handsome
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋🙏
you have a pantry , we haven't seen the room of requirement !
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there🙏🙏🙏🙏
After Christmas wrap all your lights around a piece of cardboard no more tangling
Its lovely to have your guests arrive.
I store my Christmas lights by wrapping them around pieces of cardboard and taping the ends. That way they don’t get all tangled.
Time to create the Christmas story of the Robin in the Wardrobe 🎄
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋

So much wonderfulness at Lalande!!!🎄🎄🎄🥂
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there ?
Oh, there are trees in the front yard. Very nice❤️
Cheers to Stephanies wall of wardrobes!

Narnia is wonderful.
Have you considered finding a place to plant your own Christmas trees to save some money? Close to a road for easy access.
What fun to have the Christmas guest arrive.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there??
@@bryanjaon2550 yes we are fine here in NC. Covid is low and we are venturing out more
@@1231ms54 Hi from Charlotte.😁🍭❤🌺🌹
@@1231ms54 Where are you from if I may ask?
You need to get large long strips of cardboard to wrap the lights around so they don't tangle up like that.
It's like Christmas every day at the Chateau! I wish I was there. Those chocolates, yum. I've never heard Stephanie so hyper! Lovely visitors. I second wanting to meet Amaury!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe. ?
The flowers look lovely. Remember to store them in water until they go in plenty of water, in their respective bouquets, so they last longer.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there😐😐👋
You're happy day came through to me. Thank you.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋
So wonderful to see that Curtis and Fillipo are joining everyone at LaLande. Their room looks so festive and inviting!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there ??
All the wardrobes in the attic ( Narnia ) seems more like wardrobegate, but that really is an impressive collection of wardrobes magical.
You can get good corn tortillas in Europe that are vacuum packed. Then you could have a great taco night!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋
Loved seeing your gracious guests arriving with their beautiful pups. Y'all have a wonderful Christmas! ⛄🎄
Just wrap around a old magazine to store lights
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there?
Aaaahh, now that there are dogs at La Lande I feel like it is complete. I'm a dog mumma and I just love their presence, wherever possible. A beautiful joyful episode, once again. Every second of it!
Enjoyed all the festive preparations. Where are all of your Christmas aprons? Everyone working in the kitchen should be wearing one. 😊❤️🎄
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋👋
After the holidays you will have to wind the lights around some stiff board ready for next year to make things easier. So many wardrobes. Love all the trimmings
So festive each day!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there ?
Another suggestion cut and cover empty presents box and lids for pantry. I.e. spices, Sauces, rices, flours, oils etc. Glad u took on Xmas light idea 💡 x
All I want to do is gush and praise!! So fun and beautiful! Thank you!
I love your narnia. It's like a , 'Walk in Wardrobe of Wardrobes x
I’ve just re-watched one of last years Christmas vlogs, you two and Kat singing Carols, ah, it was so lovely! This was fab too, I do miss Kat though ❤️
Me too so much ! Not the same withoutherLOVE YOU KAT.
Loved watching as normal, Nice to see the Chateau filling up for Noel x
How exciting to see all the new arrivals and all the treats... and believe you still have trees to do, can’t wait to see them all finished.......oh bye the way I’m WATCHING Yes my eyes are positive they spied something..........Donna in Toronto
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe?
I love 💕 the vases on the fire places. And, the 💐 are 🤩.
What great guests you get ,with all the gifts 🎁 x love Narnia
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there??
Love Narnia! A little concerned about the weight on the floor! Lol
Same, but I think Amaury would see, if it was a risk.
Ian reinforced the floor and put insulation in the main part of the attic this year. They can put a whole apartment up there some day in the new cleared out space.😁🍭❤🌺🌹🥂
WOW! They walked in with boxes of groceries! Just put any of my Hostess Gifts to shame.
So funny, one Italian in the house and it turns into a chaos!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it.
A new expression: "to wardrobe an attic". Really good carpet in Bonne Mamam!
I saw the carpet as well. It was beautiful.
A busy exciting day for you all, so many wonderful goodies from Italy.
What lovely guests from Italy 🇮🇹 Narna looking 😊
omg!! one can not have too many wardrobes- I loved them all.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there ?
I needed this today! Living on an island near Canada and the power goes out what do you do...you watch The Chateau Diaries!!
A ton of orbs while discussing how move the wardrobe upstairs…👻
Oh yay! My fave crossover of 2021! So great to see ye there Curtis and Filippo!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there ??
Pity all those wardrobes cant speak, it would be lovely to hear their stories.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋
Ohhh, and perhaps one of those handy dandy gentleman around you could install some track lighting above the wardrobe areas. 😉
Love the tree Philip decorated. Love tacos too. Blessings.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋😐
I feel like I'm part of this group. I wait all day for these. Thank you Lalanders!
It’s a real community feeling. I think Stephanie’s ability to see so much beauty and joy in life is contagious
I love all of the wardrobes there fabulous and I’m thinking you can never have enough of them lol 😂 excesses is best
Stephanie I have to say im going to revamp my chandelier shades and put my own fabric on them and the fabric is yellow and a dark blue lol I got the idea from when you and Philip did the lampshades there so thank you both 🥰
It's getting very exciting..!!
I love Curtis! He has the definitive quote: "If you do not know who Stephanie Jarvis is, you have not done the pandemic right!" I borrow that line often..😊
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there??
Wow! Fiesta seasoning....all the way from Texas!!!!!!!! I use nothing but! Very impressed!
I LOVE the Labrador.
I love, love Narnia de Lalande!!
Stephanie, you really have created an Armoire wonderland in the attic. Your mother will faint from the organizational order that has happened in there.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋👋
Amory could build amazing shelves with doors for the attic. He’s so talented.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there😐😐👋
I had a permanent smile on my face watching you all this morning. I always watch your videos first thing in the morning as I prep breakfast for the family and prepping my children’s pack lunches for school. How I wish we were there with you all!
I hope the attic floor and beams are strong enough to hold all the weight of those filled wardrobes, especially when the china is put in them.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👋😐😐
Love Narnia agree a lampost perfect. Nice to see arrival of friends. Blessings luv Ontario Canada Thankyou 🐝
Very beautiful bouquet! 😍And Stephanie, I don't remember seeing you so excited! You look so happy that Christmas is coming! ❤☺🙂🙂🙂
