    Stephanie from Chateau Diaries put armoires up in her attic with one being dedicated to fabric. It not only looks great it got everything organized.

    As a former resident of the upper Midwest in the US, I think the type of precipitation that surprised you was sleet, a particularly miserable mixture of icy rain and snow, so that if it is windy and you are walking into it, it feels like needles hitting you in the face! If it gets colder, then roads can get dangerously icy. So glad that bit of rough weather cleared up for you! Sleet is hail’s nastier big brother. Please excuse the diatribe/editorial! 😂 I loved the various brocante visits. There was what might be called a refectory table that looked useful. So many beautiful things! Can’t wait to see all your purchases and how you arrange everything! Thanks for the cheery jaunt!

    Lesa & Ted, I was giddy going to Happy Troc, the Brocante & Herve's today!! I saw so many amazing items that would have been so hard to pass up, but you pair are so beautifully cautious & careful about your purchases!! Don't think I would have been able to control myself!! Absolutely cannot wait to see all of the lovely pieces you did buy!! It's getting pretty exciting as you get closer to opening again!! Rock on & Blessings in all you do!! 🇺🇸

    You two are an absolute joy to watch. You have pluck.
    There were so many wonderful pieces at all of the places you shopped, but the suite of sofa and chairs would be perfect for your design aesthetic. Hopefully they'll just sit there until your fortunes improve. That should be right around the corner.🤞

    I've always loved the beautiful old wardrobe cabinets. Here in America most of our homes are just too small for such a large piece of furniture. Years ago the old plantation style homes could accommodate such a large piece of furniture because their rooms were really large and the ceilings were really high. Kathy USA

    • @ChateauDeMontmagner

    I love the big style of furniture. Solid wood is the best. Wow, cool bottles, lots of lovely thing to choose from. Such fun seeing all the old styles. Goodness this is the way our weather here in Kentucky USA goes. lol lol Wow he does have awesomely beautiful pieces. Lovely china. The carving on this piece is outstanding and so beautiful. That is a beautiful set! Love the colors too.

    You was well restrained Lesa so many lovely pieces you could of bought, but you stuck to your guns and just bought what was needed. You say about the snow when we were in France one year at our house in April we got all the furniture for out side to sit in the sun...and the next day I woke up looked out and we had 8inches of snow 😆 Lovely piece you bought can not wait to see the rest of it. See you both Monday Lesa and Ted😘

He's an absolute master furniture restorer and does an excellent job explaining how to do repairs properly. Anyone can follow what he does. You have a beautiful piece and it will be even more beautiful once you've restored it.
