STEP INSIDE A PERFECTLY DECORATED FRENCH CHATEAU!

- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- I'm delighted to share this jewel box of a home with you. Sarah and George welcome us into the early 19th century Chateau de Brives, which they've turned into the perfect 21st century family home. Cutting edge for its time (with a floating spiral staircase and en suite bathrooms for every bedroom!) the chateau had fallen into a dilapidated state when Sarah and George bought it, but they've spent the last 11 years completely renovating it with style, flair and vision...
To find out more about Sarah and George's life at their chateau, follow them on Instagram at @chateaudebrives or check out their website www.chateaudebrives.com

The American decorator Brian McCarthy says the same thing about popular decor, and calls it "boutique hotel" and complains that is what most people want instead of the look of a real home. I agree with him so much. So many online decorators are pushing that look under a lot of different styles. The hallmarks of boutique hotel is that everything looks purchased at once and looks like a commercial space instead of residential. It can be minimalist, contemporary, transitional, Scandinavian, etc. It doesn't matter. It just doesn't look like people really live there and there is a lot of editing going on as well. This Chateau could have easily ended up in the wrong hands and looking very hotel boutique and it would have been a shame. Instead it is a beautiful gracious home to incredibly interesting people with incredible stories to tell through their home and life. God bless them. I sure enjoyed the visit.
Perfectly said.
Good assessment!
Nicely stated, cheers to you!
🥰I agree!! A French boutique hotel which is “Californiaized” (my word😜) defeats the purpose of traveling all the way to France.
💕I could spend hours in those rooms just drinking up the ambiance🥰 What a treat listening to George’s knowledge of his passion!💕
Well said!
This is absolutely beautiful, I like the fact that this chateau is not too big and is more human-size. And these people have renovated and decorated it so elegantly and tastefully, really well done, this is my favourite video about chateaux, I'd like to live there!
This couple is a dream for an Artist because they collect and appreciate art. They have an excellent eye!
Wow lovely lovely Shatto Stephanie I bet you’re in your element really look like you’re enjoying yourself mind you very interesting bits and pieces
Very well said 👌🏻
Glad to see the logo, I try to support as many Chateau videos as possible by watching, even the ads, but yours is the one that got me through. I love the whole gang. Love the dress up parties, going to thrift shops and Philipp’s laugh.. could go on for hours
Stephanie your Chateau series is by far the best!
To have this type of detailed tour, including the family and their design aesthetic, is like having a crash course in interior design.
Absolutely!
Stephanie, is it possible - it just occured to me - that the brown pattern you found at Lelande, could have been a different color when originally painted? Like a red that has totally faded??
This was a wonderful and delightful tour, through this outstanding Chateau! On the last vlog I thought George is a bit grumpy, but now with time to enfold, he show his knowledge and thinkfulness. It was very enjoyable. I like how Stephanie manage the „interview“. Great sight of every room. Very nice work, can not wait to see the next vlog. (Sorry for mistakes, I never have to practice writing english after school again)
You did really well, Irene. I think you mean thoughtfulness, though? Best wishes xx
Irene, your English is very good and nuanced. No worries about mistakes. Your joyful appreciation is all that matters. Warmest regards, Birgitt
@@birgittvanwijk9646 Thank you very much for your speech. I am motivated now to subscribe more often.
So far to tell, the Followers of the Diaries are very kind!
Thoroughly enjoyed your enthusiasm for the love and expression of beauty. The dear couple's home is absolutely amazing!
What a delight to see that people can express such excellent taste!
Thank you all.
How are you doing?😊😊
@Brother Andy To each his own! The owners know their "products".
Wow, that staircase is stunning, and the chateau decor is wonderful.
Isn't it though! My parents were very eclectic and I loved it....we never conformed!
@@celtglen How are you doing?😊
Beautiful Chateau. The floor. The glass door. The decor. The history. Lovely couple. Thanks for sharing 😊💙💗
Chateau de Brives is stunningly beautiful and owned by lovely owners. The staircase, the decor, the magnificent gardens (Marie's beautiful video), that Kitchen. Truly fabulous.
They should be hosting a vlog site...in all their spare time...!!!

Stephanie is perfect for bringing awareness to the stately home and Chateau. I could literally listen to her for hours 😊!!!!!
I know her enthusiasm and knowledge are wonderful and thank goodness she never says "awesome" or "cool" as she is so articulate and those words are so over used these days.
So true 🌸😊
Sarah,George and Stephanie are so good together! Would love to se mummy there also!
Way back in the American Revolutionary War, when John Paul Jones, died, his body was sent back to America in a barrel of Cognac, for preservation and arrived perfectly preserved.
Wow! And I thought I knew trivia! Evelyn you inspire!! :-)

My perfect Sunday evening! You’re spoiling us with vlogs, Stephanie. But please remember to rest as well, your dearest ones around you said they want more time with you. x
How are you doing?😊😊
Such a delightful couple in a chateau that is comfortably full of art, history and personal style! Thank you for sharing with us!
How are you doing?😊😊
Yes but their accent combined with the echo in the rooms make it difficult to understand what they are saying. Sorry . .
George and Sarah did an amazing job. Their family home is a work of art, Can't wait for next week's peek at the bedrooms. Thank you for sharing the tour of this beautiful chateau.
Stephanie, you’ve outdone yourself once again. Some day when you aren’t so pressed for time you must host your own network tv show! Your talent is simply undeniable.
Absolutely stunning , thanks to all involved in the making of this video 🤩
How are you doing?😊😊
Such a beautiful chateau. I love that entrance with the spiral staircase and incredible floor! Thank you, Stephanie, for sharing your visit to the Chateau de Brives with us!
Oh how I would enjoy having friends like these, in a place like this. Every visit would be like going on extravagant holiday. It's this kind of style that makes me feel most at home. So much for the senses, one could never be bored or uninspired. Such a lovely home and equally lovely owners. Great tour.
He has nice collections without overdoing it. It’s whimsical and not overwhelming like some collections
What a great episode Guys Thank You
What an extraordinary Chateau! And the design aesthetic of Sarah and George is wonderful and so inspiring.
How are you doing? 😊😊
Wow ! That was like looking @ Veranda magazine in real life ! They have great taste & an eye for spotting the unusual & knowing how to put it all together !! The chippy blue dining room table w/ the gilt pieces .. So chic !! Loved it all & will have to watch it again ... a master class , indeed -- thank you , Steph for including us !💁
All I can say is thank you to Sarah and George for sharing their stunning home with us. What a beautiful home!
How are you doing?😊2
Beautiful home but I wouldn’t want to dust it!
This place is absolutely stunning. Beautifully done with both elegance and personality.
So enjoyed this tour. They have done a wonderful job.
How are you doing?😊😊
I did'nt want it to end. Another wonderfull enretainment. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too! 💙💕
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This vlog is amazing! So inspiring. I was so intrigued by the decor and object groupings in your last vlog Stephanie, so I am overjoyed that you decided to do a deep dive with George and Sarah! I can’t wait for part two 🥰
My sincere apologies to Stephanie and to others who were offended by my quick knee jerk( emphasis on the jerk) response. I’ve watched all the content long after it was filmed. I guess I had no understanding of how the content went out in real time. As an older person I frequently have trouble navigating sites and have a lot to learn. Thank you for your patience as I grow.
You are a genuine and kind person.
It’s lovely of you to take the time to write this, thank you. And don’t worry at all, I’m exactly the same with new websites, I find half of them totally bewildering!
Lovely couple! Love the stairs and paneling!
mercury glass is said to be the poor mans silver during the war and when times were tuff
Such wonderful people and thanks for the tour! beautiful!
How are you doing?😊😊
The owners love for their dogs are so much dear to my heart. You can
always tell a persons caracter by the way they treat their animals.
Love their staircase and the floors
Unbelievable
Yes! To be a dog who lives in such a grand chateau! It’s always the sign of wonderful people who allow their dogs on their couches. ♥️
Wow what a beautiful, inspirational chateau, it's like a museum. I absolutely love it!! 💚
How are you doing?😊😊
Wonderful 💕
How are you doing?
Who does the dusting in a place like that? It’s gorgeous..but so much work.
Right! I am not a collector as the dusting is not worth it.
And yet it looked immaculate too. I can't even imagine the work.
You have a cleaner ..
I always think this with these incredible homes 😂 you’d need a team!
@@susanbrown2909 You would just about have to have help especially with guest coming every weekend to get married.
Beautiful evening everyone. Watching from Uk 🇬🇧
What beautiful pieces in this chateau. What a beautiful kitchen. Loved watching nice to see different Chateaus I have seen the chateau before love it
What a beautiful home ! Thanks for sharing it with us. The pattern with the lady on the dining room trumeau reminded me of Agathon Léonard china sculptures I saw yesterday at Sevres china manufacture. They'd look marvelous in this lovely room !
You have good taste for spotting that !
I'd love those boules d'escaliers. I love coloured glass. This man's eclectic collections are just inspired.
How are you doing?😊😊
When things are difficult and frustrating, beauty really helps. Thank you
OMG! The missus is a bonafide chief! The husband is definitely the grande master. I actually like the chief.
I can't wait until next week! Such a beautiful chateau!
What a lovely couple. Thank them for opening up their home to show us.
A wonderfull chateau and I love love love all the collections they have especialy the roof tile figurines!
How are you doing?😊😊
Glad to see the LOGO in use these days. ❤️Had to comment that as a Trade Mark Specialist 😉
How are you doing?

Wow! A Chateau just full of treasures☺️ What a lovely couple Sarah & George are. I remember them from ETTCDIY 💕
How are you doing?😊😊
Chateau de Brives is amazing thank you Sarah ,George and Stephanie also camera man! I shall watch your video many times as there is so much to learn by it! The chateau is a work of art but you Stephanie are a masterpiece! :)
How are you doing?😊
An absolutely amazing experience such a beautiful Chateau, thank you George, Sarah and Stephanie for the tour
Stephanie's reaction when told it's an IKEA kitchen!! LOL! Maybe you could use IKEA units for your room just off the kitchen, rather than having a custom one built in England.
Beautiful chateau, beautiful people.
How are you doing?😊😊
The squirrel is the family emblem of Nicolas Fouquet of Vaux-le-Vicomte. The squirrel roof finial may be from Vaux…
Thanks for sharing that .. Philip, did you see that !
@@kaihandren9309 Philip pointed it out first.
this chateau takes ones breath away with its stunningness. the stair case wow the floor and how the diamonds flow and get smaller wow wow wow
So many things to love, but the floor is amazing. And the handsome Weimaraner!
Thank you Stephanie for another wonderful adventure :) What a lovely couple such a beautiful charming chateau. Your dress you bought looks lovely 😊 so many fabulous chateaus to explore with such interesting histories and amazing owners with such wonderful hospitality. Can’t wait to see more hugs from 🇨🇦💗😘
Hello Sharon, how are you doing?😊
I love how they used different and simple second-hand items to decorate. It has inspired me to do more brocant shopping.
When I use to do large floral designs installations for a 5star restaurant, we had a group of the oyster “sticks” mounted and used as organic sculptor pieces. It was fun to see them talked about.
The wife has been relegated to the background ...hardly gets a word in
She's quite lovely and supports his collecting and staging unusual items.
She looks like she's having a great time - and further on in the video, she speaks..... she does just fine...I think you spoke too soon!
Maybe she is a little bit shy.
I found him to be insufferable.
I would not say this. She is lovely. She enjoyed herself and is quite humble. I enjoyed her immensely.
Absolutely delightful couple in an idyllic chateau. Thank you!
How are you doing? 😊😊
They are a lovely couple and have a beautiful home. That is the second serpentine staircase I have ever seen there is one in Santa Fe New Mexico at the Loreto Chapel a former catholic church with a very interesting and mysterious story attached to it's creation.
Is that the church where a carpenter showed up out of nowhere and built the incredible stairs?
@@lovedone5359, yes! I had the same thought when I saw the staircase in the chateau; it looks like the “miracle staircase” in the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
I loved this Vlog. Definitely one of your best. But to be honest, I love them all. I can’t wait until next Sunday to see the next part.
What a beautiful couple. I really enjoyed this.
Oh ,to have married a man like George! How lucky Sarah is to have a partner who shares a passion for antiques, art and whimsy. I cannot believe that you can rent the whole chateau with all the marvelous treasures all about. I hope we see the cottage, it looks so intriguing!
Fashionable and functionable, also that staircase is WOW. I can see that the original owner wanted his home to be a show piece, guest would come over and probably want a chateau designed and built. Really one of a kind
This was WONDERFUL!! Thank you, thank you!
Wonderful tour, interesting hosts, Stefanie charming as usual, & Philip your work behind the scenes shows growing skill. Remember these days ,
This chateau definitely needs 2 episodes and I suspect the owners could inspire several other episodes as well. Thank you for sharing!
I totally agree and plan on watching many times in the futur , cheers!
How beautiful and soooo heart warming that this couple saved this chateau!! Amazing!! I love it!
Such a beautiful chateau! Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
What a delightful bountiful home. Great filming Phillip.
This was really well hosted Stephanie!! You should definitely focus on visiting more Château owners - your enthusiasm, relatability, knowledge and making people feel at ease is a rare gift‼️ Looking forward to lots more 🏰
I don't know if that wedding photo is of the owners, but I think it is an enchanting image.
Thank you Stephanie and Philip for this wonderful tour. I don't know what "perfection" is for décor, but this place is a show stopper for sure. The vestibule is gorgeous and worth seeing the chateau all on its own. These are people of aesthetic passion (after my very own heart), such joie de vivre in abundance. What inspiration.
Oh, my! Enchanting home and such lovely owners. I truly enjoyed this.
I'm so sick of seeing actors/actresses' homes that are huge and bland. No decorating, just large rooms. This chateau is absolutely gorgeous! The colors, the architecture, antiques, etc. This is what I call excellent taste, and it's obvious a lot of effort was put into the home. What a warm and inviting space!
Totally agree. I love quality-made things and beautiful architecture.
Jealous ?
I'm so desperate to get to France again to the brocantes!
Hello Ellen , how are you doing?😊😊
Enjoyed the previous two videos with Stephanie, Marie and Philip as well as Johnnie and his partner. Loved the gardens. Look forward to seeing more 9f the decor. We've had a rolling blackout again in South Africa and it's freezing cold. Hoping the electricity will be on by that time.
hope all goes well for to regain power take care
Now that was absolutely glorious! What a place! What a couple! Thanks for taking us along!
I can't help but be reminded of Audrey Hepburn at 18:31 -- even if it was another actress, or just a stand-in model, the style influence is clear 👩🏻✨💃💄
Stunning, creative, exquisite decor!!!
How are you doing? 😊
Absolutely stunning. Decorating as it should be. Beautiful backgrounds showcasing the interests and collections of the owners. Nothing too precious. Very livable and inviting.
It’s a beautifully restored chateau, but the sound is very difficult to understand the dialogue. I’ve noticed the poor sound on several videos. Would it be possible to add closed captions?
I think that the sound may be getting 'swallowed up' in the large rooms.
Totally agree. The sound on various vlogs are very poor. They do eventually turn on the captions but I rather a clear sound. When it’s organized, mics for everyone ?
❤️ Wow! Beautifully filmed with expert interviewing skills. Such an amazing chateau, with exquisite interiors and lovely, characterful owners. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Hello Dee, how are you doing??😊😊
Amazing decor! A joy for my maximalist heart! One of your best videos ever Stephanie. I LOVED it!
How are you doing?
Magnificent perfection. Loved every second.. thank you very much..🏺♥️🥀🍾🥂🍷🥀
How are you doing? 😊😊
Great vlog tonight, thanks all who participated and shared their time to bring us this. 🥂 cheers
Great video. But I'm suprised we are calling this a chateau/castle. For me it' s a just a big mansion or country house.
In France, it’s not about the size of the building, but the function it had in the past! Like Le Fleur, this newer building was built on the foundations/grounds of a building that was classified as a château. Therefore, they’re still considered châteaux ❤️
@@philipjanssen ahhh! It makes more sense then. Thank you Philip
@@philipjanssen Not in this case. This chateau was not built on the grounds of another chateau. It's quite "new" and built from scratch. (I know the area).
@@stephm.1012 George and Sarah told us it had been built on the same grounds as an older château and that they found a mantle piece in the garden (:
I’m in love 😍 they decorated so beautifully!
How are you doing?😊😊
Beautiful beautiful ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
You out do yourself each week! I didn’t want it to end💕
I love these tours-fascinating decor and history -so nicely done.
Wondering how if the owners own or had owned an interior design firm or a storefront if they dye their own fabrics and have so much knowledge in art and furnishings??
Stunning chateau, great filming, and nice new dress Steph.
How are you doin?😊😊
Amazingly beautiful and unique. Such wonderful and multitalented owners! Thank you for sharing this with us💗
The design of some elements in the chateau foreshadow Art Nouveau by 70 years.🇦🇺
Great video, could have watched for hours, hope you do the rest of the house.
THIS IS MY DECORATING STYLE. I get lots of compliments but when you love so much your dream vision is never complete. It’s awesome to see like souls and see how beautiful without self doubt ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Stephanie I absolutely love your vlogs they are full of everything from fun to cooking antique shopping and my favourite a bit of history.❤❤❤
How are you doing? 😊😊
I loooove this chateau and how they appreciate every piece they have. Everything looks beautiful but cozy - like a real home. Thanks Stephanie and Philip. You have done a great job. ❤️ PS: I think the sound is perfectly fine.
