A thick baking soda and water slurry applied to the stone and left to sit on it will draw out the greasy soot from the fire. Then just wipe it off. Nontoxic and easy.
mix bicarbonate of soda with a little water into a paste, stipple onto stained area with a clean paint brush and leave for 20 to 30 minutes, do not scrub or the bicarb will scratch the marble. when clean apply a small amount of wax to seal the marble.
I'm so glad to finally see you on RUclips again I thought maybe you had moved from the Chateau. The dining room sounds like it is going to look really pretty. I love wallpaper so I can't wait to see what you've chosen for the dining room. God Bless, Kathy 🇺🇸
Hi, Great to have you both back in action again. I love to see the progress that you are making and moving forward to restoring and renovating the chateau. I'm going to be watching the progress through the coming seasons. Mark
I've just found you..I follow quite a few other families that have moved from UK to France and bought and are renovating or have done. I'll be back watching your videos..so Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
Hello we have missed you all! The twins’ new playroom is perfect for them. Nice job Julian! Leanne, you have fixed so many walls you’re basically a master plasterer!😆I’m looking forward to seeing the progress of this room. Until next time, be well and stay safe!
You are too kind and honestly my right hand felt it after doing just those two sections - I need to work the plastering wrist strength back up 😂 Happy new year x
Ammoni diluted with water and toothbrush , make a poultice with baking soda and water ... nice and thick smear on and fold up damp paper towel or damp cloth and painters tape it on .. leave 24 hours ... or a small amount of chlorine .. don't forget test sight
Happy New Years use baking soda and peroxide and old toothbrush especially around all the fancy leaf decorations to try cleaning the fireplace marble. Good to see your progress and your lovely family. Good luck. ❤😊🇨🇦
Great to see you again. Fabulous plans for the future. Hopefully all of you were able to take a break and enjoy a rest. I am certainly excited to see what the future brings.
Hi Leanne, so nice to see you again, you’ve been missed. Hope you all had a great Christmas. Wishing you a happy, healthy and progressive 2023. (Looking forward to seeing your garden) Hope to see you soon.
Great to catch up with what you are up to now. The wallpaper in this room sounds interesting, can't wait to see it. Don't kill yourselves with hard work will you.
Leanne, it’s so nice to see you again, and Happy New Year to you and your family. The playroom looks like the perfect size for the twins! They have gotten so much taller!! The new room is going to be a lovely space for the guests to have breakfast. Can’t wait to see the wallpaper and what you have coming up in phase 2 of the renovations. Be well!! xx
Wonderful to see you again! I enjoyed learning about the projects that you’re doing and it’ll be fun to see how they all turn out! Happy new year from Vermont
Happy New Year to you as well! So excited to see you guys! Look forward to seeing more. How big has your veg patch gotten? Wishing you all the best! 🇨🇦💕
Hello Jill well it’s almost three times as big now! Sowing has started, the peppers, tomatoes and aubergines have been potted on in to their first pots and the season is underway! Happy new year! 👍
Happy New Year. So nice to see your lovely family again. You’ve been missed. Looking forward to seeing your progress in this room. Maybe a peak at the renovations upstairs and the new gardens? Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Happy New Year and welcome back! I was so excited to see your new posting and to follow the incredible progress you are making in the chateau. As I've been following you working on the bathroom, I don't believe we've seen the final reveal and was wondering if you could include that in an upcoming vlog. Cheers
Happy New Year, nice to see you again. Use milk on the marble to give it a clean. I have tried this on a marble fireplace and it does lightly clean and gives it a nice sheen.
Hello Francis, This office space is fine for now, I hardly spend any time in there, choosing to work on my laptop in our living spaces most of the time. We rented the entire chateau last summer to guests and will do the same this summer!
Hi Jim, we close half of the upstairs off in winter and use most of downstairs so it’s not too bad. But we do only heat rooms as we use them not every room all of the time 👍
Happy New Year folks! We have started the second phase of renovations and we have some exciting projects planned! 👍

Thanks David we will try it 👍

All the best for 2023! Glad to hear you swapped video shoot & editing for the written words! Interested in knowing more about this too.
Missed you and your splendid renovations. Tickled you’re back. Watching from PA, USA.

Lots of light, what a blessing. Beautiful room, I’d probably go darker paint all over; with all the light. Anxiously awaiting your color scheme
Looks great👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Happy New Year Leanne Julian and the girls
Back to work
The Pethericks (channel) just had sandblasting done by a gentleman named Martin, maybe contact him for the fireplace? He may have additional ideas.

Am missing your progress on videos?? What has been going on ?? Love watching you create a beautiful home
Hi Vicki, we are back finally as of today 💪
Happy new year and good to see you guys 👍
Hello Troy, happy new year and that’s great to hear! 👍
You need a bigger office/atelier… is there a gite… it will be spectacular with the patio terrace-
Hello Francis, This office space is fine for now, I hardly spend any time in there, choosing to work on my laptop in our living spaces most of the time. We rented the entire chateau last summer to guests and will do the same this summer!
Bonne Annee 😘
Bonne Année Annette thanks for sticking with us! ❤️

Hydrogen peroxide took red lipstick off my unsealed marble. It also cleaned it to the original color. Yellow was gone.
That is great advice thanks
How warm is the Chateau. I assume you shut off rooms. Places looking beautiful
Hi Jim, we close half of the upstairs off in winter and use most of downstairs so it’s not too bad. But we do only heat rooms as we use them not every room all of the time 👍
Do the smokey fireplaces just need a clean or maybe just a log burner insert?
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Interesting but sorry, way too much talking. I would have liked to have seen something done.
Welcome back!
