Adrian, you have done an amazing job in restoring the floor in the Grand Salon. You and Carol are a marvelous team. Thank you for allowing us to follow you as you journey toward bringing this grand dame back to life! ❤
Our pleasure!
The floor is looking absolutely stunning! Well done Adrian 👏 I love Terry's rug!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Yes well done Adrian , floor looks amazing! The walls are beautiful! I thought the rug was nice but I know Carole will chose the right one!
I absolutely agree!
Love your vlogs. They are short but packed with different activities. Full of fun and action. Not just painting or pointing one wall for 20 minutes or talking about "what we are going to do", then long talk about "what we are doing", finishing with "what we have done". Some vloggers but not you. Never get tired of you guys. Can not wait for more. Thank you for such pleasure.
Totally agree..
I love it that you show what you're talking about. Many vloggers keep the camera on themselves when they speak to restoration, instead of the article being restored and its context! Thank you for sharing. Beth, I'm in Melbourne if you need anything. So white I couldn't see you.
Thank you so much 😊
Oh you are so right, my grandson 13 calls them talking heads with no action 🥹
I think the carpet looks wonderful in the room. It warms up a cold room.
If they have or the chateau had a library ...this would be great in a library. It looks more masculine. I think she wants to keep the salon light and airy ...but I do agree that the gold in the rug does not look bad with the more stately but gold furniture.
Carol, you are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I know it has been very difficult and demanding! Well done! It’s gorgeous!
Adrian,you did an awesome job with the ivy. It is so hard to peel it and remove it from the wall. Well done.
As nice as the rug is , l personally would prefer not to cover the floor at all and rather see the lovely wood instead. It's always lovely to see the progress you are both making in bringing the chateau back to life. With out a doubt your the right people to do it.
Warmth and acoustics, I think.
The bigger the rug, the warmer the room. But I agree with you that that would hide the magnificent parquet floor. But sunlight darkens the wood. This would mean that under the rug it would stay lighter. Difficult choice for Carole & Adrian
rugs add a brain thought type warmth to a room. but some of the intended time period give such a 'buzy' look.
You need something dark/visually heavy to anchor the room. That rug is great. Once you place the furniture on it, you'll never be distracted by it. And it gives you a secondary color for contrast that you can bring in with accessories, small cushions, or side chair upholstery. it's a little too one note samba color-wise. Too much of the same tone tends to all blend together so you don't notice the highlights/details. Can't wait to see the floor finished and the furniture placed.
It’s called a monochromatic color scheme. It’s tastefully executed and is a significant trend for period rooms of the era. #whitedrawingroombuckinghampalace
Gold and Champagne are a Rich blend of tones and the finishes shimmer and change with the lighting. A POW contrast can be accomplished when the room is completely finished and Carole has had a chance to live with it first for a while the way it is now! I like it and appreciate her vision for it. The gold rug was nice except the Black in it was too much for the delicate details of the Grand Salon.
At first I agreed with your choice about the rug but then I remembered the curtains. It might go great once they're up. I would recommend putting the curtains up before making a final decision on the rug. The floor is so beautiful it's such a shame to cover it at all.
The grand salon floor is absolutely beautiful! I actually liked the rug . It warmed up the white walls and all the gold. It’s going to be a truly grand salon when it’s all done and decorated!!! What is the tall concrete thingy by Carole’s skinning dipping spying door?
It’s for the streets electrics
That floor, like Carole’s walls, is a work of art. When you placed the rug on it, I said “What?!” The parquet should be seen and enjoyed by all. How about several smaller, matching rugs in front of the furniture? Just my humble opinion, of course! You two have amazing instincts and skills, and it’s a joy to witness your collaboration!
Loved that you finished the curtains. BIG job. Can't wait to see them up! :)
Me too!!
great job on the salon floor!! 🤩 will you sand, stain and varnish it? I hope when you watch this back and see from the angle of the fireplace, the rug looks fabulous! it ties in with a few of the darker elements in the room like the chandelier, sconces, floor lamp and metalwork on the doors.. it really gives it symmetry and a well thought out design plan!
Floor will be sanded then a natural oil/wax applied called Osmo
That floor was a jigsaw puzzle from hell but it looks great.
That carpet will be gorgeous.... Somewhere else. You'll find the perfect one... This one's not it.
Carol and Adrian that carpet is perfect for the salon. You've chosen well!
This room , every part of it has such meticulous details. You guys have done such amazing work, on the walls, on the floor I have never loved a room as much as I love this room.
Thank you so much!
I love that rug in the Grand Salon! Put the furniture around it and then take a photo and look at it. On the video it looks gorgeous.
The room is looking amazing! Your motto "No problems, only solutions." is spectacular. I love it, so true! ❤
As usual am so excited to see that floor finished. I know my excitement comes no where near as close as yours! It is going to be one exquisite salon. Great vlog today.
The carpet looks fantastic. But you are the ones who have to live with it. Amazing job on the floor!
The parquet next to the windows must have been in an X shape,they weren't plain board, if u check old chateau from the 18th they had ornamental parquet leading to terrace or hallway. 2 Square of X SHAPED PARQUET ❎❎ should fit. The parquet is really amazing well done! And I agree with the rug decision,though rugs (tapis) were quite colourful with different patterns (animals/floral/ geometric) I doubt they used black....take your time for the rug, u will find one for sure. In France tapisserie murale were quite popular, I know its old fashioned for modern time but they were very popular back then. U guys have to find beautiful tableau de peintre for the walls.
When you put molding on the wall it will cover gaps. Adrien has done an amazing job on the floor. Can’t wait to see it finished. Love ❤️ your videos.
Fantastic job with the flooring in the salon! Almost there! You are making great progress in the walls as well! Isn’t it fun to find cubbyholes from the previous owners and see what was left? 😂! Great job you two!
So true!
I love the carpet, the black gives it a wonderful boost and contrast to the rest of the Salon.
Beautiful job on the floor.
I'm always sad when your video is done,I WANT MORE!!!, oh well, I'm looking forward to Sunday!!!
The floor is just beautiful, I know it’s been a pain but once it’s done it will be a job well done something to be proud of.
Adrian,the flooring is a work of art ,what a brilliant job you’ve done,painstakingly fitting it back together,like a Jigsaw! Together,Adrian & Carole, you both have produced a stunning room 👌
Carole I agree with the rug,although lovely,I think now you can bring in other muted colours,ie muted dusty pinks,blues ect, to add some warmth,you already have lots of gold elements,in the room, which look wonderful,i might add 👌 Good Luck 😊
PS, have a lovely holiday in Byron Bay ,It was a scorcher 🥵 yesterday,in Brisbane for the first day of Autumn 🍂 but in contrast today we have lovely ☔️ always reminds me where I came from ,lovely England 🏴
🥰
🥰
The flooring looks amazing. Hopefully you can repurpose enough pieces to complete it. Exposing the walls around the château really brings the beauty back to them. Can you use some of the floor boards in the out buildings to rebuild the gates ? I’d hate to see Carole not be able to ‘skinny dip’ in private,lol Did you purchase the picture frame ?
Hoping to use floor boards from the barn for the gates. Carole still undecided on the frame
The salon is looking fabulous with the wood floor almost done. Nice job Adrian. Carole your vanity room will be beautiful once completed. I agree Terry’s rug is too dark for the grande salon. Thanks for taking us along this amazing renovation 😍😘
The GRAND SALON is what Dreams are made of!! "Catch a Golden Star and put it in your pocket...!!Never let it fade away...!!" You are the Makers of Fairytales!🧚♂️🌟💒💫🕊🎑🏰🦁🙋🏼♀️
I envision Larger cream colored traditional oriental rug with egg shell blue and maybe or green yellow/ designs… something traditional with pastel colors🤔
Great job you two. Lovely
Thanks so much! 😊
So much hard work from both of you and welcome to Australia Beth:)
I really like the rug yes it has some black in it but I think you need another color Everything Is Beautiful gold but you need some contrast
I love the rug and the furniture! Stunning
First time for me, no to the rug. To small and dark.
Actually I'd put an Aubusson style carpet with lighter, softer colors.
I missed this first part. I never thought I’d see that floor almost finished! It looks fabulous🎉 It’s a shame to cover that gorgeous floor up with a full room rug. I love that frame! A mirror definitely.
As much as I love everything in the room, the wallpaper washes the room out..sorry..
I love the rug! The room is beautiful!! You both have done amazing work!!
CAROLE, your "grand salon" looks amazing . The walls, the furniture, the curtains , All in white and GOLD . It is truly nice . With your nice choices, you are free now to add colors on the wall if you wish. (some nice painting ????) . I wish to give a special award to ADRIAN for is great work to restaure the floor (parquet) . You are lovely together and you create awonderful chateau. Thank you to share with us.
Thank you so much!
The floor is coming along so beautifully! Excited to see it finished-as are you, I’m sure! I love that rug. I think the black actually works in that all white room. It grounds everything. 🤷🏼♀️
I love seeing all the wonderful progress! You guys are awesome! I’m also very impressed that you have green grass. We are covered in snow.☃️❄️ Love from Vermont
That floor is beautiful, Adrian.
I think the rug could work with black accents, candle holders, statuary, etc. Not a lot but a few.... The room is magnificent!
Welcome to Australia Beth 🇦🇺🇦🇺
That rug is absolutely right for that room. The darker colour is exactly what that room needs.
I kind of liked the rug in the salon. The furniture in there that’s wrapped up is beautiful. The whole room looks beautiful. Great job on the floor Adrian. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! 😊
The frame you saw, perfect when you have your portrait painted 🤣. All Chateau's have the lady of the house on the wall.
Bravo, Adrian! It’s been a long haul, especially when you consider all the work you’ve done that will never be seen. A masterpiece.
Many thanks!
This carpet look wonderful in there. It's exquisit and fit perfectly, really. It's rich and these colors are an accent. Gorgeous! (I am supposed to have a great taste :)
Today you reminded me of what my mum would always say to me when I didn't know what to do about something....... "If in doubt.... Don't" 😂 that Moto has always saved me.
the floor is beautiful....and what a process! There's something to be said for the old world craftsmanship. Did you think it would be so intricate when you bought the place?
Carole did. She has great vision!
@ indeed she does! It's going to be beautiful when it's done.
Any rug you choose for the salon will have to be spectacular to be worthy of covering Adrian's gorgeous floor.
What an amazing job of restoring the flooring. Can’t wait to see it all finished. You are both perfectionist and pay attention to detail. Cheers Sue Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks so much!
Amazing, amazing grand salon! Everything will be ideal! ❤️
My Mum always used to say to me "If you don't absolutely love it in the shop, you'll never love it at home". Admittedly this was said about clothes, but I think it applies to interiors too. 🥰 follow your gut Carole, it always leads you right so far.
So true!
Salon coming along beautifully!
Not that it’s anything to do with me but I agree with you that the rug is completely wrong. I much prefer the more delicately coloured one that went so well with the wallpaper and curtain patterns. Room is looking Fab-u-Lous!!
Carol you’re right I have bought many clothes and furniture other people talked me into which didn’t suit my personality or styling. At least the rug will find a new home.
I’m so happy Beth arrived safely. You two are very cute together. Somehow you manage to be happy while doing the most grueling and tedious jobs. The salon looks stunning. When you rolled out the carpet I was sad to see Adrian’s beautiful floors covered up especially the diamond shapes in the parquet down the center of the room. But I know you need a carpet. The curtains look so thickly lined and will fall beautifully when they’re hanging. Exposing the arch and lintel over the garden wall door is lovely. It’s a huge improvement. Great jobs all well done! xx
Thank you Stephanie!
Bravo! You are so great! I think a lighter carpet is needed here. This one is like a dark spot. I wish you success!
I'm glad you made the decision to nixx the carpet. It's a no. the floor has to get done before we all start crying...
That crack in your vanity room Carole, was huge! So good you filled that in before that cold front hit! The flooring looks incredible in the salon. It’s sad Adrian’s work gets covered by a rug, but I know the room needs it. I thought the pillars for the old laneway gate were amazing too! Great video guys! Kelly x 🇦🇺
Yes! Thank you!
Oh my! it's nearly finished & soooo exciting to watch it all come to new life. Beautiful work.
Just need a light colored rug with cream and light golden colours
Молодцы в 4 руки много работ сделали и еще сколько предстоит!
Beautiful. It's all working out wonderfully
What a pity about the carpet. Personally I love it but I agree if you have doubts about something it will nag at you. The thing is don’t be swayed by anybody else. When in doubt do nowt.
Maybe you could arrange for that climbing plant to climb around the concrete pylon but keep it trimmed.
My computer programming professor told me on my first day of class “Let me set the tone for our class-we don’t have problems in here, we have challenges!” Adrian and Carole, you so remind of those days with your challenges.
Well done on your solutions!!! 😀😀😀
Thank you Candice!
You two have mad skills. That salon is impressively beautiful
Coming along nicely…..I’m trying to be patient
Hang in there!! 😀
One of my favorite channels to view. Love what you and Adrian have achieved Carole. The floor looks beautiful. Cheers
I am looking forward to seeing you two dressed in ball gown and tux dancing in your new grande salon!
You may need to look at an Aubusson style rug for the Salon. The Persian rug is too English, in my opinion. Aubusson copies aren't too expensive. In the USA original Aubussons are off the hook expensive for one in good condition.
Carol I Do Like The Rug I Think 💭The Colour” Are Good Match 💕
Before you go to look for a rug or anything, take a picture of the room first, take it with you to see if it will be what you want in the room, Might help. And you might already be doing that, lol! Love the salon progress!❤️
Tone on tone on tone..you need a beige/off white/neutral colored rug!
😮 hate to cover the floor
Adrian why not increase the width of the final back horizontal board, no one would notice such a tiny gap? But you’ve probably fixed it already.
What a labor of love ( and hate too I assume) .
This room is SO splendid
Could you add some tiny shims behind the board at the wall to push it out a couple of mm instead of recutting the shorter boards?
The board under the wall is nailed down and unfortunately not moveable
you have exquisite taste and unending energy. that combination is unstoppable!
Wow, thank you!
Your time-lapse photos of clearing away the ivy are so satisfying...I'm sure not very relaxing to do, but extremely relaxing to watch. And the salon is looking amazing! Love your channel--my favorite of the chateau channels. :)
Thank you so much!
oh I love that rug! I thought it looked perfect!
Would like a rug with my color and depth in it
Fun filled episode with all that’s happening. Salon floor is amazing Adrian!! Next time it’s this cold open the windows and let the warmer air in 😂
That's the plan!
Adrian, don’t you have salvage stores near you maybe they have some wood😊
Great job Adrian! You have done an amazing job of preservation. The man has the patience of a saint to get it finished!
Your choices are very beautiful.
Sorry Carole it’s snowing here in Calgary Canada as well.
What a superb room! The incredible amount of meticulous work done by both of you, is a true homage to your dedication and efforts. Congratulations! The furniture is amazing and perfectly matches the grandeur of the room. I have always gone with my gut feeling when buying things. Compromise is never an option. The rug will be loved at its new home. Thank you and good luck to you both.
Thank you so much!
Carole I think both the dining room and the salon need some paintings.
Wow! Looks fabulous - inside and out!! Ivy, the bane of every garden! Too bad you can't burn all that garden rubbish.
👍👍👍👍👍 - Oh, what a relief, you are not putting that rug in the Salon. I do love it but not for this room. It doesn't give off the same mood as the rest of the Salon. It is a bit heavy when the rest of the room is so light. Even tho the parquet is perfect (for me), I trust you. I know you will find the correct rug for the Salon. Maybe a cream coloured one to make the furniture stand out, with the parquet as the border around the room. ??? 😁 I hope you get a chuckle out of my 2 cents worth.
As always 😂
?? Am I the only one that thinks the white room with the gold paint looks like every 'bridal' boutique across America.
Seems that way!
Glad Bethany made it to Australia and has a great time! Adrian the floor is coming along with all your hours and hours of work! Carole I am amazed you have finished your curtains! I am working away on my small projects and looking forward to what Sunday brings.
Us too!
