Terry and Ash don't forget behind as your building , write a letter of your story and place behind wall especially where somebody might change it in years to come .... pass the knowledge down the line even a time capsule x
Such a sweet vision for that lovely room! Yes, it will take a bit of work…but soooo worth it! Congratulations…can’t want to see your visit to a broquant for additional antique pieces!!
Whilst waiting for your video to start, I thought I’d read the comments and to:my huge surprise there was a bit of a commotion going on. I’m in no position to tell anyone how to behave or what to say but I’d like to say one thing… everyone at the Chateau is working their hardest to make it their home however they would like it to be. It’s constant backbreaking work and a cheerful word of encouragement from us at the end of the day I’m sure goes a long way. If you disagree with what they’re doing or don’t like their taste, DONT WATCH! It’s that simple. Keep up the brilliant work all of you. Big hugs xxxAlexandra in Florida
Thank you so so much, people’s comments to help us and keep us motivated, we do get days that are hard and when we get to see the wonderful support and comments it really helps us move along. 🙏🥰🥰🥰
There will forever be someone that doesn’t like your taste or style. I know it’s hard to ignore even one negative comment, but you have so many people who see the hard work y’all have put into this project and the beautiful results, so keep up the amazing job you are doing and let the trolls troll on!😤❤😊
If someone offers constructive criticism (and I sometimes do) it’s not necessarily trolling. If the only comments allowed are flattering, fluffy, feel good complimentary ones, then they serve no purpose in communicating with the channel owner. We all want Terry and Ash to succeed…..and some of we loyal subscribers would like to provide some “food for thought” sometimes. Oh, The new intro is nice!
This big cavernous room turned into a beautifully warm space with just the furniture 😍 Terry, I would love to see you reupholster one of the pieces. I would be very interested in seeing your technique! When the time comes, of course. I love watching you and Mum together, always so much laughter and ❤
There is many way to lay it out. I thought also the chairs across from each other besides the settee, like a small grouping and a coffee table! The room is so big, lots of ways. Which ever is decided, will be good.
Wondering who is going to sit in the corner chair behind an armoire? (Answer: no one.) That chair will probably end up being used to throw clothes on. Put a chair on each side of the window and a low table under the window. The small sofa in front of bed so people can look out at the lovely countryside and not stare at bed with the sun baking the back of their heads. Did I come to France to sit facing away from a window only to stare at a bed or be inspired by the beautiful fields and gardens? That would make much more sense and be far more comfortable, especially if someone is paying for that room. Be open to furniture placement….no quick and final decisions have to be made now. Love the bed..very elegant!
This room is going to be fabulous when completed, would you consider leaving it as an adjoining set of rooms for guests. Watching your progress is the highlight of my week. So nice to see the family working together for a common goal. You guys are amazing.
I have to admit i thought the same thing. In the USA some hotels have separate rooms that have a set of doors with locks on both sides that keep them separate and secure, but if you have guests traveling together or a family that wants to get ready together, they can unlock both doors from each side and have adjoining rooms whenever they want. It is a desirable feature for a lot of families especially or couples that just want a nightcap together. To book adjoining rooms. And it already exists in your rooms! Reconsider. ❤
When we stay away from home we appreciate bedside tables with lights, arm chair, foot stool, a desk with a lamp, place for suitcases to be stored, shelving in Bathroom to set out our toiletries making them accessible to sink & mirror.👌🏻💕
I, for one, would love a video of Terry's upholstery skills. Maybe a Patreon how-to tutorial. I remember the chair he did for Stephanie. Exquisite work!
Honestly, I've been waiting as well. The episode from 7 months ago (ep. 74 it may have been) had a huge load of fabric brought in, and I thoiught "Here we go..." I was expecting whole weeks of curtains, upholstery, and pillows. But, there's priorities, and what has been acomplished in the past seven months is amazing. I know with the weather as it is, the outside is a priority as well. It may be October or December even before Terry stays inside long enough to work on the furniture. Oh well, I wait and look forward to a whole "Ted Talk" style seminar series of Terry's apolstery and furniture restoration skills!
I think the ‘Forgotten Room’ (which I think would be a perfect official name for it), may end up being the loveliest room of all. Can’t wait to see it finished! ❤
This room is going to be gorgeous! The paneling is so beautiful and you have so much lovely furniture to choose from. I agree with others that a desk would be more useful than the settee. The needs of short-term paying guests are different than if the room was a permanent bedroom or even being used by family, who are busy around the chateau all day, spend a lot of time with other family and have access to the private areas of the chateau. Paying guests are more self-contained. Since the room sleeps two there needs to be a seating area for two to share conversation, a glass of wine, a comfortable place to read - facing each other, not perched side by side on a settee. They don't really need seating for 4 so the settee is superfluous. Short-term guests will need a place to put suitcases but minimal space to store clothes. With nice shelving one of the cupboards would make a nice built-in dresser; if there is enough depth, a couple of added drawers would be nice but not needed. One guest need is surfaces on which to put one's stuff. A real space hog in many rooms is the need to charge multiple devices - this might be a great use for a shelf in one of the cupboards. And of course, many people do need to be on a computer for at least a while every day, thus the need for a desk. Another person's comment about in-room exercise and a place to put a yoga mat was good too. The room is going to be beautiful no matter what, but I think you need to think through how it needs to function specifically for short-term paying guests. Love all you are doing, your wonderful family and how you are all devoted to this grand old chateau.
Maybe you change Tony's description in the opening to The Craftsman. The Worker is demeaning. Love your vlog. Terry and Tracy work together like a well oiled machine.
There is such an abundance of fabulous furniture in the brocants in France. You make wonderful choices, the wardrobe is stunning. All of the old furniture seems to be so portable, the bed and wardrobe came to pieces and then reassembled so easily. Terry you and your mother have such a special relationship, it is lovely to see. Terry please don't forget that travellers need somewhere to put their suitcases when they are unpacking. A stool or something for the suitcase to sit on.
I am anticipating this final reveal! Might I suggest an arrangement of the love seat and chairs that the love seat is 3 feet away from the foot of the bed, the two chairs on both sides of the radiator, with a sweet little table in the middle 🥰
As an Interior Designer, we are always thing outside of the Box. As Tracy said, I would place a set of drawers in the doorway frame. And with the cupboards around the fireplace I personally would have the centre’s cut out of the doors and replace it with class. Using the space behind to place Curios and books. I think it would look so nice.
Loved the new intro, Id say Terry is the brain, Ash is the heart, Tony is the muscle and Tracy is the soul... and Jonathan is a smile ... Although you're all in one
I guess you are doing a dry run to see how the furniture will look. Answer: fabulous!!!! Once painted and ceiling repaired, it is going to a beautiful room! Looking forward to seeing your paint choices! And you are so right, you need a Bachelors Chest in the room. 💕 I’d add a tea station too ❤️ You two did an absolutely stunning job on your apartment. So I just know this will be fabulous!!
Somehow I see blues in this room. Chairs are beautiful, but group together and by fireplace. Maybe a tall vase in the nook by the bed. With all the cupboards, really don’t think you need dressers in there. It will be beautiful when done whatever you do!
Its a good idea to set the furniture in the room first, because it makes it easier to understand what your aim is for the finished room. I love the idea of the alcove dressing table, can't wait to see the before, during and after on this room. Tracy's smiling face is such a delight to see. Thank you all 💕🇦🇺
The forgotten room will soon need another name after you all work your magic on it. Terry will recover those chairs and sofa, and the entire room will be beautiful. I think a dresser in the alcove is a great idea and a great use of space. I like your new intro as well.
Those cupboards when you’ve cleaned put layers of newspapers on top, then dusting is minimal. Roll the top layer of paper, throw away or use for fire lighter, then the next layer is ready to catch the dust.
Since you plan to make the bed, one option to consider might be twins that can be made up as one bed or separated into two. I travel a lot but am a widow and travel mostly with friends. We always appreciate it when a place can make up singles for us. Many of my friends are in the same situation - singles who travel multiple times a year. It also would give you additional flexibility with your private guests.
I so enjoy how you all brainstorm your design - bringing in the older pieces, giving them another 100 years of life, to inspire you - all with respect for each other’s ideas 🙏🏻
Terry. 🚩THAT HUGE GORGEOUS WARDROBE MAYBE TOO CLOSE TO THE HEAT REGISTER!!!⚠️ Oh my.. stunning bed!!! OH I love it. ❤️ TERRY&TRACEY. THERES MOULD IN CORNER OF CEILING⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
This room is going to be fabulous. And it’s in amazingly good shape. The carving on the chairs is beautiful, I can’t wait until they’re brought back to life. ❤
Love Terry’s vision for the lost room I would utilize the cupboards for linens, towels or a hidden coffee /tea bar with a small fridge What ever design y’all come up will look amazing God bless Love from West Central Texas 💜
I know a discussion was brought up on pros and cons of adding a bathroom to the lost room so I wanted to add my opinion. There may come a time in the future that Tracy and Tony will need a space without having to climb stairs to a bedroom. This lost room would be ideal and having a private bath would help simplify things for them. Until that time is needed you could advertise and rent it as a private suite. So my thumb is up for an on suite bathroom!👍🏻
I’m sorry, I don’t think I made what I was trying to impart clear. I know they have the beautiful cottage with the bathroom they both worked so hard to make an almost spa retreat. I was under the impression the bedrooms are on the second level and those are the stairs I was referring to that may be hard for them to navigate in the future. If there is a downstairs bedroom, somehow I missed it, and if so, again I apologize for my confusion. Sincere regards, Judy
That wardrobe is lovely. The craftsmanship of those hinges! I'm eager to see how you use the existing cupboards, and the how to episode on upholstery. I always love to see how your vision evolves through the process, so that what you initially expect isn't quite what you end up with. To me, the results have always been more satisfying.
Love the format of this video. Hearing you all go through the thought process of where furniture goes in the room, adding drawers to the closet and converting the door opening to dressing table space is so interesting. My sister and I brainstorm like you all and we always enjoy making decisions together. Keep up the great work and don't stop posting your videos!!!
Never realized you map out a room before renovations. Makes sense. Wow, LOVE the plans for the washroom; so grand, befitting a chateau. Hahaha quaint light switch, brilliant. If you're keeping the cupboards then you don't need a a chest of drawers and it's fun to offer the charm and ingenuity of the unexpected.
You all work so hard and it shows! Such love and care goes into the details. I think you should call it the Forget-me-Not room and ask Ash to plant some in the garden to place in vases for the room. Can also eat the flower so can use as garnish for desserts, salads. Just a thought 🤗
I love the new intro for your channel. Vert professional and really takes it to another level. That room is going to absolutely stunning when it's finished. The furniture is gorgeous and once you reupholster it Terry it will beautiful once again! Thanks for adding another video to your week I really look forward to seeing them all. Cheers
I like all the work you do and your talent to choose the nicest antique furniture. Forgive me for saying so but the two lovely chairs look misplaced next to the wardrobe. I believe the whole set up would look complete if the chairs join the settee and make a wonderful sitting area. ❤
That's going to be a good sized bedroom and I love the built in cupboards, glad you are keeping them. I was hoping you would find at least on little trinket in them. Terry I think you are like me in the way you visualize the renovation and the décor and purchase all the items for the room before you even move in to a room. I can't wait to see this completed.
love the room and furniture id like the love seat at the foot of the bed with a table and the two chairs by the window. I think to sit and look out the window would be delightful. Reupholstery is always fun to watch. I'm impatient to see the transformation...so exciting!
I love what you all do. But a suggestion would be to put the two small chairs together with a small table between them, & move the wardrobe up towards to corner a bit further. Lennie from Australia
If master or king room make it over the top in color, fabric, crystals ,and use of gold. Take another and make two baths being the one for this over the top. Good luck. It will be beautiful. I went o see them painted and then decorated.
Terry & Ash, would you consider putting the small pink hanging 'tulip-style' lamp into the Cottage, if mum wants it for her bedroom there? Then you could get a nice big chandelier for your unfinished bedroom in the Chateau. Just a thought. Your bedroom will look really posh after you finish it, I'll be looking forward to seeing you both tackle it when that time comes! 👍
Love everything you are doing to renovate. If you are making this a bedroom, then there has to be access to a bathroom nearby. I believe your other suites have a bathroom.
I was drooling the whole time I watched this, everything is just exquisite! I have a chair my vat has destroyed so if you do an upholstery segment, I’m there 💕🐥💕🐥💕
I agree, it’s good to get stuff in to really see what works. To make sure that when you pick out a bed, there will be room to open the wardrobe comfortably, etc. In the spot where there was once a privacy room entrance, maybe put in a hidden tea and coffee station?
Hi guys, keep up the good work. Just a thought; when we are taught to set out room for hotels we are often taught that you should avoid arranging furniture so you enter the room and 'walk into the side of the bed'. Obviously you have plenty of room but might you consider swapping the position of the wardrobe and the bed? I think issue often with freestanding wardrobes and daylight from a single source is that the corners of the rooms can end up in shade. I agree with pulling out that corner panel to align with the other shallow cupboards. Perhaps this could feature a small cupboard space where you might leave carafes of water for guests or mini Nespresso machines as is often found in hotels these days. I am always so in awe of your hard work and dedication to this project! genuinely keep up the great job.
I like the matching bed and wardrobe to stay together. The chairs once redone will look amazing. How lovely to work in a room without much damage. Can’t wait to see it completed. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Love the furniture you’ve chosen. I can’t wait to see how you recover the chairs. Your mums chair under the stairs was beautiful. I’d just suggest a little more functionality as having a chair either side of the wardrobe seems and looks a bit strange to me. Could you have them around the sofa with an occasional pedestal table or something as a seating area around the window to enjoy the view and perhaps pop a little tea and coffee station inside one of the hidden cupboards. Maybe a huge plant or little bookshelf with some reading material for guests at the right of the wardrobe, then they can pick one to browse in bed? And a suitcase rest on the left? I’m sure you’d get some lovely old books in emaus. ❤
totally agree. The two chairs in front of the window with a small table in between would be a lovely place to relax. And with the sofa at the foot of the bed looking out...lovely.
I love the room and can’t wait to see it finished. If I were staying in that room I would love to have the two openings with shelves as a dresser. You could trim them with old trim like the trim on the bed, a search is in order. Good luck with your design.
This will be so brilliant what gorgeous furniture you have such a lovely aesthetic! Just right for this home. What’s awesome about it is it has kind of a minimalist Look to it you know. I think it lets your eyes see the rich texture on all of the antiques and the room. Lovely.
Love the furniture and the period choices you are making. The paneling on the walls to me are worth a fortune!! It’s very exciting now that you are beginning to do the rooms in the chateau. xx
🙋hi from Scotland this room is going to be amazing drawers in the cupboards would be a great idea I also think a nice dressing table in the window would also look great my brother has quite a big house here in Scotland and he has some old French furniture in it I just love it take care everyone cheers 🍷 till next time Anne from Scotland
I love the last bedroom in today's vlog. The furniture is perfect, works well together, and will look fabulous once it's all reupholstered. Moving the radiator under the window will give you a bit more wall space and straightening the wall of the alcove will do the same. When it comes to painting, maybe just giving the walls a good washing and leaving them that beautiful, subtle blue, would look wonderful. Of course, the ceiling needs work, but keep it simple. Add a rub with jewel tones and some good French porcelain and you'll have a knockout showroom. Mark
Come to think of it, Ashley, I think the La Lacelle family DOES have one extra day in the week!!! 😂😂😂🤗⭐️👏👏👏 How do you all divy up the jobs to be done??? 🎶🎶🎶🇨🇦🇫🇷 PS I’d like a mattress on my bed!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I would DEFINITELY put the sofa at the bottom of the bed, looking back towards the window. Guests would want to appreciate the view, not look back towards the bed in my opinion. Otherwise, this all looks great 🥰
Love your plans for this bedroom, will it have an ensuite? If you use the connecting space to make the dresser/ mirror area as discussed you could re purpose the panelled door to fill the space in the corner?? I love your no-waste, repurpose/ re-use way of dealing with the whole project. Enjoy your next challenges!!😃
A little night table on the right side of the bed would complete the bed area ?! It is grand already … easy to envision especially with the four of you doing the work … I would love to see Terry upholstering the loveseat and chairs… the fabric… your magical touch.🎉 Thank you for bringing us along on your journey at Château de Lalacelle 🌟💫
Great video! I love the way you arrange the furniture to get an idea of what it will look like. And that furniture is gorgeous! I love the chairs and settee - can't wait to see it when Terry's reupholstered it.
I just love you guys 😂😅how you work so wonderful together, and the respect you give each other. Your family love 💕 shine thru...giving the world a window into what a family group can work Together❣️thank you❤️👏
I can’t wait for an upholstery video! I really want to learn how to do it! I can do simple things and have taken things apart, but it’s still a bit of mystery to me!
Yes I think the room is perfect with the amount of furniture in it. You have so many cupboards so to make use of them is perfect like a dresser with the mirror and I would still make a coffee and tea bar in the other cupboard. Looking forward to watching the progress.
Hi everyone, love the new intro Terry & Ash 👌 Can’t wait to see you start on the forgotten room,it’s huge & will look amazing, especially with the lovely paneling on the walls & the stunning furniture ! I hope you keep the ceiling light shade,it would look gorgeous,on a marble or brass lamp! Take care lots of love 🥰💕

Thanks Patricia 😊
Tracy is truly an inspirational woman. You have a wonderful family & I consider it a privilege to watch you all work & collaborate together.❤❤
Thanks Cheryl! She really is! 😊
I’m in love with the acorn light switch🐿️ You should definitely have it rewired and it’s function restored. It’s so charming and practical too!

I think Terry’s collection of antique furniture is wonderful and the room is going to be so nice. I think the decoration of a room is the fun part.
Thanks Tim :)
This is my favorite room so far! Weather it becomes a grand bedroom or a snug for guests I know it’s going to be so lovely

"I can do that",said Terry. Yes please Terry, show us youre artistic reupholstering of the chairs and couch.
Thank you ☺️
I would have added the furniture too to get a sense of the space. It also generates excitement to keep you motivated….and us too.
Just a quick note that if you are making the alcove a dresser remember to put lights in there. I think that will be a lovely feature of the room.
Thank you ☺️
Great idea Linda 👍👍 this is why we set the room up first .. to plan these things .. thanks for the tip 😊😊
Now the robe ,needs lovely room to show its self ,Bed beautiful ,
As an Interior Designer, we are always thing outside of the Box. As Tracy said, I would place a set of drawers in the doorway frame.

Especially with painted and lit interiors, perhaps the blue already inside.
@@jennifercampbell7698 Mirrors perhaps to help reflect the light on to the objets d'art?
@@marypaddey4625 Or glass shelves so the overhead spot light could shine down.
You could turn the sofa to face the fireplace and put a small desk behind the sofa. At the desk you'd have a lovely view.
Loved the new intro, Id say Terry is the brain, Ash is the heart, Tony is the muscle and Tracy is the soul... and Jonathan is a smile ... Although you're all in one
Thank you so much 🥰
Yes, the friendly, the feisty, the Fabulous French Five!!!!................
I guess you are doing a dry run to see how the furniture will look. Answer: fabulous!!!!
Once painted and ceiling repaired, it is going to a beautiful room! Looking forward to seeing your paint choices! And you are so right, you need a Bachelors Chest in the room. 💕
I’d add a tea station too ❤️
You two did an absolutely stunning job on your apartment. So I just know this will be fabulous!!

Yes and how many people would think of doing that first to see where they need the electric sockets and lights need to be. Very clever.
The forgotten room will soon need another name after you all work your magic on it. Terry will recover those chairs and sofa, and the entire room will be beautiful. I think a dresser in the alcove is a great idea and a great use of space. I like your new intro as well.

Those cupboards when you’ve cleaned put layers of newspapers on top, then dusting is minimal. Roll the top layer of paper, throw away or use for fire lighter, then the next layer is ready to catch the dust.
You could add a drawer to the inside of the wardrobe because most people travel do not have a need for a full dresser
Yes the wardrobe has two drawers in it which should be fine 😍😍
Since you plan to make the bed, one option to consider might be twins that can be made up as one bed or separated into two. I travel a lot but am a widow and travel mostly with friends. We
always appreciate it when a place can make up singles for us. Many of my friends are in the same situation - singles who travel multiple times a year. It also would give you additional flexibility with your private guests.
Thank you ☺️
I so enjoy how you all brainstorm your design - bringing in the older pieces, giving them another 100 years of life, to inspire you - all with respect for each other’s ideas 🙏🏻
Putting drawers in is a personal preference but there’s so much shelving you really don’t need it.
Beautiful room !
Thank you ☺️
I’d love to see an upholstery video when you ready. Love watching your progress
We will have plenty to show you 🥰
Such gorgeous choices you’ve made for the bedroom! I see jewel tones trimmed with gold. Loving how you guys are progressing! ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you 🙏
Can't wait to see it restored and resplendent!
I really love that bed in the room. add some draping and thats all you need
Thank you ☺️
Terry. 🚩THAT HUGE GORGEOUS WARDROBE MAYBE TOO CLOSE TO THE HEAT REGISTER!!!⚠️
Oh my.. stunning bed!!! OH I love it. ❤️
TERRY&TRACEY. THERES MOULD IN CORNER OF CEILING⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
This room is going to be fabulous. And it’s in amazingly good shape. The carving on the chairs is beautiful, I can’t wait until they’re brought back to life. ❤
Thanks Pam :)
Sofa end of bed, chairs where sofa is at window with table for wine/tea maybe
Thank you 🙏
Love Terry’s vision for the lost room
I would utilize the cupboards for linens, towels or a hidden coffee /tea bar with a small fridge
What ever design y’all come up will look amazing
God bless
Love from West Central Texas 💜
a coffee or tea bar is an excellent idea!
Can’t wait to see this room! It should take “grand” to another level!
Utilizing the cupboards as dressers is a perfect use of space. I love the design you've laid out.
Thank you ☺️
Yup and they definitely need drawers somewhere. Old wardrobes are often not deep enough to take coat hangers fore and aft like modern ones.
I'm new to watching so this comment might not be seen - you joke about looking for treasure, I found it, the whole family are the treasure!
I know a discussion was brought up on pros and cons of adding a bathroom to the lost room so I wanted to add my opinion. There may come a time in the future that Tracy and Tony will need a space without having to climb stairs to a bedroom. This lost room would be ideal and having a private bath would help simplify things for them. Until that time is needed you could advertise and rent it as a private suite. So my thumb is up for an on suite bathroom!👍🏻
Thank you but Tracy and Tony have the cottage to live in with a beautiful bathroom 🥰
I’m sorry, I don’t think I made what I was trying to impart clear. I know they have the beautiful cottage with the bathroom they both worked so hard to make an almost spa retreat. I was under the impression the bedrooms are on the second level and those are the stairs I was referring to that may be hard for them to navigate in the future. If there is a downstairs bedroom, somehow I missed it, and if so, again I apologize for my confusion. Sincere regards, Judy
@@chateaudelalacelle I thought that this room wasn't on the ground floor and that's why it's a possibility of it being a bedroom on the1st floor??
I love watching the thought process you and your mom do when putting together a room.
Looks like Brochante shopping for chandelier and lge floor rug lads. Can,t wait for more shopping 🎉🎉
That wardrobe is lovely. The craftsmanship of those hinges! I'm eager to see how you use the existing cupboards, and the how to episode on upholstery. I always love to see how your vision evolves through the process, so that what you initially expect isn't quite what you end up with. To me, the results have always been more satisfying.
Thank you ☺️
The wardrobe is awesomely beautiful. This is going to be a lovely room ... All the best.
Love the format of this video. Hearing you all go through the thought process of where furniture goes in the room, adding drawers to the closet and converting the door opening to dressing table space is so interesting. My sister and I brainstorm like you all and we always enjoy making decisions together. Keep up the great work and don't stop posting your videos!!!
Thank you very much 🙏🥰🥰
Never realized you map out a room before renovations. Makes sense. Wow, LOVE the plans for the washroom; so grand, befitting a chateau. Hahaha quaint light switch, brilliant. If you're keeping the cupboards then you don't need a a chest of drawers and it's fun to offer the charm and ingenuity of the unexpected.
Thank you ☺️
Yes, yes, yes, agree!
What a beautiful room. When finished, it will be stunning. Can't wait to see the progress as you make it come to life.
Thank you very much 🥰
Tracy is Wonder Woman!!!
This helps to see the scale of the space, thank you! You will have fun looking for the right bedframe, I can see some happy hours brocanting ahead.
Thank you ☺️
You all work so hard and it shows! Such love and care goes into the details. I think you should call it the Forget-me-Not room and ask Ash to plant some in the garden to place in vases for the room. Can also eat the flower so can use as garnish for desserts, salads. Just a thought 🤗
How wonderful 😍😍😍😍
I love the new intro for your channel. Vert professional and really takes it to another level. That room is going to absolutely stunning when it's finished. The furniture is gorgeous and once you reupholster it Terry it will beautiful once again! Thanks for adding another video to your week I really look forward to seeing them all. Cheers
Thank you ☺️
I like all the work you do and your talent to choose the nicest antique furniture. Forgive me for saying so but the two lovely chairs look misplaced next to the wardrobe. I believe the whole set up would look complete if the chairs join the settee and make a wonderful sitting area. ❤
Thank you ☺️
That's going to be a good sized bedroom and I love the built in cupboards, glad you are keeping them. I was hoping you would find at least on little trinket in them. Terry I think you are like me in the way you visualize the renovation and the décor and purchase all the items for the room before you even move in to a room. I can't wait to see this completed.
Thank you so much ☺️
love the room and furniture id like the love seat at the foot of the bed with a table and the two chairs by the window. I think to sit and look out the window would be delightful. Reupholstery is always fun to watch. I'm impatient to see the transformation...so exciting!
Thank you very much, we will look into the layout 🥰

Thank you ☺️
I love what you all do. But a suggestion would be to put the two small chairs together with a small table between them, & move the wardrobe up towards to corner a bit further. Lennie from Australia
Thank you ☺️
I've often wondered if Terry has always wanted to live in a Chateau as his design style is suited to this genre.
I think so 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️🏰🏰
If master or king room make it over the top in color, fabric, crystals ,and use of gold. Take another and make two baths being the one for this over the top. Good luck. It will be beautiful. I went o see them painted and then decorated.
Terry & Ash, would you consider putting the small pink hanging 'tulip-style' lamp into the Cottage, if mum wants it for her bedroom there? Then you could get a nice big chandelier for your unfinished bedroom in the Chateau. Just a thought. Your bedroom will look really posh after you finish it, I'll be looking forward to seeing you both tackle it when that time comes! 👍
Love everything you are doing to renovate. If you are making this a bedroom, then there has to be access to a bathroom nearby. I believe your other suites have a bathroom.
I was drooling the whole time I watched this, everything is just exquisite! I have a chair my vat has destroyed so if you do an upholstery segment, I’m there 💕🐥💕🐥💕
Thank you so much ☺️
It’s lovely to see your vision coming together….absolutely love your choices of furnishings ❤
I agree, it’s good to get stuff in to really see what works. To make sure that when you pick out a bed, there will be room to open the wardrobe comfortably, etc.
In the spot where there was once a privacy room entrance, maybe put in a hidden tea and coffee station?
Thank you ☺️
Look forward to seeing the results of your labour in that bedroom. Great that there isn't much damage to be rectified. Best wishes.
Thank you ☺️
Hi guys, keep up the good work. Just a thought; when we are taught to set out room for hotels we are often taught that you should avoid arranging furniture so you enter the room and 'walk into the side of the bed'. Obviously you have plenty of room but might you consider swapping the position of the wardrobe and the bed? I think issue often with freestanding wardrobes and daylight from a single source is that the corners of the rooms can end up in shade. I agree with pulling out that corner panel to align with the other shallow cupboards. Perhaps this could feature a small cupboard space where you might leave carafes of water for guests or mini Nespresso machines as is often found in hotels these days. I am always so in awe of your hard work and dedication to this project! genuinely keep up the great job.
Thank you, the door to the side will be blocked up so you will enter at the other door, walking in at the base of the bed 🥰 thank you so much 🙏🥰🥰🥰
I like the matching bed and wardrobe to stay together. The chairs once redone will look amazing. How lovely to work in a room without much damage. Can’t wait to see it completed. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Thank you ☺️
I love the new opening sequence SO much.
Thank you ☺️
Gentlemen, don’t let anyone steals your dreams. You’re working hard to make them a reality - crack on!!!
Thank you ☺️
Love the furniture you’ve chosen. I can’t wait to see how you recover the chairs. Your mums chair under the stairs was beautiful. I’d just suggest a little more functionality as having a chair either side of the wardrobe seems and looks a bit strange to me. Could you have them around the sofa with an occasional pedestal table or something as a seating area around the window to enjoy the view and perhaps pop a little tea and coffee station inside one of the hidden cupboards. Maybe a huge plant or little bookshelf with some reading material for guests at the right of the wardrobe, then they can pick one to browse in bed? And a suitcase rest on the left? I’m sure you’d get some lovely old books in emaus. ❤
Thank you very much 🥰🥰
totally agree. The two chairs in front of the window with a small table in between would be a lovely place to relax. And with the sofa at the foot of the bed looking out...lovely.
I love the room and can’t wait to see it finished. If I were staying in that room I would love to have the two openings with shelves as a dresser. You could trim them with old trim like the trim on the bed, a search is in order. Good luck with your design.
Thank you very much 🥰
This will be so brilliant what gorgeous furniture you have such a lovely aesthetic! Just right for this home. What’s awesome about it is it has kind of a minimalist Look to it you know. I think it lets your eyes see the rich texture on all of the antiques and the room. Lovely.
Like the lighter paint, floor, trim feel to this room
Thank you ☺️
Love the furniture and the period choices you are making. The paneling on the walls to me are worth a fortune!! It’s very exciting now that you are beginning to do the rooms in the chateau. xx
Thank you ☺️
I love how you work as a team & brainstorm planning out a room. I can’t wait to see it finished after watching this.
Thanks Kathy :)
🙋hi from Scotland this room is going to be amazing drawers in the cupboards would be a great idea I also think a nice dressing table in the window would also look great my brother has quite a big house here in Scotland and he has some old French furniture in it I just love it take care everyone cheers 🍷 till next time Anne from Scotland
I love the last bedroom in today's vlog. The furniture is perfect, works well together, and will look fabulous once it's all reupholstered. Moving the radiator under the window will give you a bit more wall space and straightening the wall of the alcove will do the same. When it comes to painting, maybe just giving the walls a good washing and leaving them that beautiful, subtle blue, would look wonderful. Of course, the ceiling needs work, but keep it simple. Add a rub with jewel tones and some good French porcelain and you'll have a knockout showroom. Mark
Come to think of it, Ashley, I think the La Lacelle family DOES have one extra day in the week!!! 😂😂😂🤗⭐️👏👏👏 How do you all divy up the jobs to be done??? 🎶🎶🎶🇨🇦🇫🇷 PS I’d like a mattress on my bed!!! 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I wish we did 😂😂 thanks Kerry-Lynn :)
20:44 Yes. Turn the space behind the door that is closed off into a set of drawers. Don't waste the space 😊
I would DEFINITELY put the sofa at the bottom of the bed, looking back towards the window. Guests would want to appreciate the view, not look back towards the bed in my opinion. Otherwise, this all looks great 🥰
Thank you we will look into it 🥰
Love your plans for this bedroom, will it have an ensuite? If you use the connecting space to make the dresser/ mirror area as discussed you could re purpose the panelled door to fill the space in the corner?? I love your no-waste, repurpose/ re-use way of dealing with the whole project. Enjoy your next challenges!!😃
Thank you, yes it will have a bathroom for the suite 🥰🥰
Oooo! That walled off door to the bathroom would be wonderful for a hidden full length mirror.
A little night table on the right side of the bed would complete the bed area ?!
It is grand already … easy to envision especially with the four of you doing the work … I would love to see Terry upholstering the loveseat and chairs… the fabric… your magical touch.🎉
Thank you for bringing us along on your journey at Château de Lalacelle 🌟💫
Thank you so much ☺️
Great video! I love the way you arrange the furniture to get an idea of what it will look like. And that furniture is gorgeous! I love the chairs and settee - can't wait to see it when Terry's reupholstered it.
If I could, I would be there in a moment. I have done lots of similar restorations, and I’m itching to help! Congrats guys!
🙏🥰🥰🥰
You really have impeccable taste . What a lovely time you must have choosing and designing a room. Love following you all 🤗
Thank you 🙏
I just love you guys 😂😅how you work so wonderful together, and the respect you give each other. Your family love 💕 shine thru...giving the world a window into what a family group can work
Together❣️thank you❤️👏
Thank you so much ☺️
The furniture looks fabulous you definitely have good taste Terry xx
Thank you ☺️
I can’t wait for an upholstery video! I really want to learn how to do it! I can do simple things and have taken things apart, but it’s still a bit of mystery to me!
Thank you ☺️
I call dibs on this room when I return.
Haha. It’s yours! 😊
I love the idea you have for that room. I know it’s going to look beautiful when it’s all done.
Thank you ☺️
Yes I think the room is perfect with the amount of furniture in it. You have so many cupboards so to make use of them is perfect like a dresser with the mirror and I would still make a coffee and tea bar in the other cupboard. Looking forward to watching the progress.
Thank you 😊
When I dream of staying in a chateau, your style is what I dream of. ❤
Thank you 🙏 🥰
I think that bedroom is going to look amazing when it's done 😍😍😍
Hi everyone, love the new intro Terry & Ash 👌
Can’t wait to see you start on the forgotten room,it’s huge & will look amazing, especially with the lovely paneling on the walls & the stunning furniture !
I hope you keep the ceiling light shade,it would look gorgeous,on a marble or brass lamp!
Take care lots of love 🥰💕
Thank you ☺️
