The wall paper in the blue room is beautiful. Can't wait to see the room finished. Well done both of you.
Thank you, I think that room will have to wait as I want Adrian to concentrate on replacing the salon floor first and that's a huge manual job
It all looks so beautiful, the moulding looks great. I love your choice of wall paper for the blue room.
Thank you Joy, it was meant for Bethanys room, but she didn't like it! So it's going in Rebecca's, she doesn't get a say!!!! Cx
I’m so excited to see the progress you’re making. You are becoming the molding Queen, Carole!!
Thanks John, not looking forward to recreating the mouldings in the salon, as they curve around the corners, might prove a bit tricky Cx
That plasterwork restoration is truly extraordinary. Such amazing attention to detail ... but it's the small details that will combine to create the true "wow" factor once you've finished the room.
Thank you, I can be a bit fussy when it suits me!!! Cx
The Blue China room will be beautiful. Your attention to detail will be the icing in the cake. I really enjoyed seeing you refurbish the tie backs. Great job.
Thank you Jayne, icing on the cake will be the salon, I can't wait! Cx
Carole, you have great patience as well as being very artistic. The Dining Room looks so nice....the wallpaper and curtains are lovely and the bedroom curtains and wall paper ...wow!
Thank you Norma, but now I've started on my favourite room! Cx
Carole you did an amazing job on the curtain holders. The curtains are beautiful. The wallpaper for the bedroom will be beautiful.
Blue room is going to be pretty. That lamp based just topped all the elements together. Beautiful.
Thank you, those lamps were meant fir our room, but go perfectly in the blue china room
The blue wallpaper is a perfect choice and does match to the accessories. Minimum work now with only a few things left to finish. Mouldings are a success and the Green wallpaper is sporting a lovely presence in the salon. When a person sees the before they will know how much work was done to achieve a success. Only word is Dumbfounds in that had to learn puzzle piecing for that room! Great patience too!
I want to put before shots on the door to each room finished! Haha! Think I'll have to settle for an album in the entrance hall! Cx
The Blue China room is going to be very elegant. Your mold work is really amazing - what a revelation.
Thank you Elizabeth Cx
Those moldings above the mirror in the dining room look SO much better after your restoration. You can really see it as a whole now instead of being disjointed because all the missing parts. The blue china room will be lovely after it's done up. I think you're right about maybe a different shade for the lamp though. Great job, I love all the details.
Thank you Katie, I still haven't had the enthusiasm to finish the piece above the fireplace, it was taking so long. The lamps were meant to be for my bedroom, but the bases went so well with the hold backs and the paper, I gave them up for that room, although they are rather tippy. Cx
Great job Carol - interesting to see how well the moulding putty works.
Unlike the dining room, they were easy and a good excuse to sit down. Thank you Cx
You are clever. It’s amazing how you have such patience. The house looks like it’s a lot warmer now.
Thank you, I think I enjoyed the curtain making and hold backs because I could sit down on the job! We've had some great weather here recently 😀 Cx
That blue china room is sensational. Love your attention to detail.
Thank you Linda
Carole, you and Adrian are so talented!! The moldings, the curtains, the WALLPAPER(which is gorgeous!) the salon floor, the outside garden, everything!! I do hope that the two you do take some time just for yourselves!!!! Love from Wisconsin
Thank you so very much Kathy, time for ourselves?!! That's a trip to the diy store or food shopping!!! Cx
The moulds are a great job. Very impressed with dining room.
Thank you Lisa Cx
You did an incredible job on making molds of the hold backs they look great.
Thank you
The blue room wallpaper is stunning. Great job on the molds! I am simply amazed with each video. 👏🏻👍🏻
Thank you, that paper just took my eye one day I prefer it to happen that way Cx
Just love the blue China room, the wall paper is stunning!
I bought that off fb years ago, I knew it would come in handy eventually! Cx
Great job on the recreation of the moldings. Your sewing of the draperies is perfection. Project of love, you are great caretakers.
Thank you very much Cx
What a fantastic job, Karen. Brilliant restoration.
Thank you Cx
I love your attention to details which as we know can turn a beautiful room into something magnificent!
Thank you Patty, the salon will be the icing on the cake Cx
Also Dining Room detail is stunning! Love the colors and wallpaper with drapes!
Thank you for showing the whole process for making the curtain tie backs. I can see it took you some time to complete them. They look wonderful.
Thank you for watching Cx
Amazing restoration of the holdbacks! You make it look easy and do-able.
Thank you very much!
Love the wallpaper and the curtain molds. Its a very cool idea
Carole and Adrian, you are really making great progress! The dining salon is really beautiful and the Blue China room will be a sleeping oasis! You both have such energy to continue tackling projects and still time to work in the garden. Great job! Tim
Thank you Tim, our bodies are broken and we are in bed by 8 exhausted!!!!!
The wallpaper is absolutely beautiful. The birds, the hints of blue, the shade of gray, the lamp, and are those tie backs? They are amazing. This room is going to be marvelous. You have a delicate soft style for your vision and it’s wonderful to watch you create that vision. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏I truly cannot wait to see your vision for all the other rooms. I don’t know if you remember I commented that I thought the wallpaper in the dining room was going to be horrendously busy but you proved me wrong and it became my favorite dining room of all the chateau and now this room. The bathroom with all the gold I thought 💭 oh know🙊 what is she doing? Its going to be to much gold and again proved me wrong on every level. Oh I really can’t wait for each and every bedroom, bathroom, salons, hell even hallways are probably going to equally blow my mind. Well done.
Haha Rowena, don't fret, I do not get offended when people don't like my taste, it would be a dreadfully boring world if we were all the same. Not everything goes to plan and sometimes my visions don't always come off! But just sometimes, it all comes together through patience and perseverance. Haha, listen to me! What do I know! Thank you Cx
Absolutely beautiful! I just love it all. The blue china room choices 😍. Great job. 🙂
Thank you, will keep my eye out for the right bed, but no hurry, I want to do the salon first
I used to do art foundry wax pouring, chasing, and mold-making. There are other mold making substances that are more like a flexible rubber to peel out your plaster pieces, or make as a combination set for removal.
I once made a globe that had to be "sloshed", & another that had a window section cut out, shelled, cast, then welded back in place for a hollow orb.
(Amongst my multi-vocation, multi disciplines of varied fields.- Restaurant/Bar&Grill Fine-dining FOH/BOH everything, hotel services, industrial foundry, & oh yeah, corporate bookkeeper for 25 years, lol.
P.S.- I also did industrial sewing, am a home- sewer, could do embellished draperies & bedding, etc.
Home improvement, I know my way around power tools very well, enough not to skillsaw off the power cord.
I would Love to come help out!
Love the blue wallpaper. Stunning. Can’t wait to see the fire screen in situ behind the bed..
Thank you Isobel, it's a fender, but I'm not sure Adrian knows how to make it into a pelmet!!!
I still love to see that wall paper it looks so good
I don't get the time to sit in there very much maybe i should sit and make more curtains! But I love it every time I see it too! Cx
Carole that is true restoration work you’re doing! Well done!
Thank you, it was nice to do a job sat down. Now back to manual labour 😮 Cx
Carol fantastic job done on the moldings and the curtain tye backs you molded look great the wallpaper for the blue room looks gorgeous cannot wait to see up on the walls
Thank you, I enjoyed doing the hold backs, I got to sit down?! Cx
The mouldings have turned out amazing Carole
must be so satisfying 👌
Loving the blue room
the curtains & wallpaper beautiful,fresh & bright
my favourite colour!
🥰
Thank you Sandra, I was also very pleased with them Cx
The blue china room is going to be gorgeous when complete.
Eventually! CX
You're becoming quite the chateau rennovation artisan, Carol. Truly impressed with your plaster mould skills, as well as the drapery (is that the right term, I'm a bloke after all?). All looking very authentic to the period. Thanks for sharing.
Haha John, I wouldn't go that far! And I'm not sure everyone would agree with you! Take care Cx
Blue wallpaper & blue drapes are beautiful. Love the colors.
Thank you Elaine Cx
@, thank you for sharing this beautiful chateau.
Love the blue curtains and wall paper ,lamp .No doubt it will be exquisite... wonderful job as you are so talented.
I'm not sure about that, but we both do what we can Cx
Lovely colours fot the blue room!
I love the wallpaper for the bedroom lovely colour. You have got the moulding now down to a fine art bravo.
Thank you Annette Cx
I llove the moulds,, very clever. The work you are doing is making the chat
Oh thank you Mel Cx
Love watching the recasting process- they turned out brilliantly
Thank you
I wallpaper for the blue room is fabulous. The room will be lovely once completed. Great work Carole!
I do hope so, thank you, but first the salon! Cx
Great job on the moulding! Clever lady!
Thank you Cx
Expert casting skills!
Thank you Cx
Carol you are doing a wonderful job on the mouldings:)
Thank you, they seem yo be never ending! Cx
Carol you have fabulous taste.
Ooo- this wallpaper for the blue room is lovely! Now I have wallpaper-envy. 😍
It's still available to buy! I got it from FB a couple of years ago, just because I liked it! Cx
Love the wall paper for the blue china room! Things are coming along!!!!
Thank you Courtney, I just stumbled across that paper, love it when that happens I'm not a lover of searching for products as you often just settle for things then. Cx
@ I think the combination of colors in that room are going to be super light and peaceful. Well Done!
Well done Carole. Love the blue room. Exquisite!
Thank you Cindy, that's what I like to hear Cx
Carol fantastic job on the mouldings, can you let us know what product you used for mould and what you used to stick them on with please. That wall paper you have for the China room will look superb on all the walls, but would be very expensive and may not be to your taste. colouring of all your curtains are spot on ( in my opinion). Keep up the good work, but try to rest every know and again. X
Thank you Yvonne, I bought 2 rolls from FB a couple of years ago for £20! I knew I'd use it one day, but it is still available. Was originally for Bethany, but she didn't like it and I haven't given Rebecca the choice! Siligum is the product I use for the moulds, available on amazon Cx
Oooooo…. The blue China room is going to be gorgeous!!
Eventually! Cx
You could probably take them to a metal shop and make a lot of amount of cast iron that would be really cool.
Fabulous workmanship, and such progress. It all looks amazing
Thank you very much Cx
Carol the Blue China room are going to lok stunning. I put in two single beds in my guestroom and move the beds together for couples. I also have tall curtains and put the headings together and drape the curtains over the holdbacks. So guests can close them by taking them off the hooks.
Thank you, good idea, what ever works I say Cx
The blue China room is going to look stunning 🤗
Well done on the tiebacks🤗
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Thank you Sue, I'm hoping zac, the grandson, will sleep a little later with those thick curtains, they are over for Easter
@ Hope all goes well & they arrive safely & the weather is fine ¬ to cold 🥶love Sue 🥰❤
Absolutely beautiful carol, what a great job with the mouldings and the bedroom is going to look fantastic. Curtains are lovely. Lisa xx ❤️😘
Thank you Lisa, things are coming along nicely atm Cx
I am just here watching this video with my mouth hanging open. What an amazing feat you just performed. You made it look extremely easy. I'm sure that it was time-consuming if anything. Brava to you. Well done
Thank you Glenn
Well done, Carole! Well done!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Meri Cx
Your attention to detail is impressive love your work 😊🇦🇺
Thank you Joanne Cx
Your so clever with reinventing things.
Thank you Michelle
Love the wallpaper for the Blue China room!
Thank you Lynette Cx
PG Tips Super job of the mouldings well done 👍 love them . What a pretty blue the curtains love the wallpaper bedroom . Talented lady !!! Take care 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you Pauline I must admit the colour of the hold backs in the dining room, came out perfect, shame I don't have the enthusiasm about the piece above the fireplace! Cx
Beautiful job with your molding work
Thank you Cx
Carol I had to laugh when you were showing the mouldings with “one you did earlier”. I want to call you Valerie now from Blue Peter 🤣 (if you remember her). Absolutely love the curtains and the bedroom plans. Get some wine and croissants in and I’ll come over to make your mouldings and clean the windows for you! 😂😂 Any time. Just call. I’ve just retired and need Something to keep me out of trouble.
Sue how soon can you get here and do you cook?! Yes, I know Valerie- just, and shep the dog! I did actually want to say "here's one I made earlier" but didn't think anyone would get it!!!!!! I'm full of catchphrases! I'm going at that program too!
@ bags are packed, complete with sticky back plastic and toilet roll centres in case you have more projects planned 😜 Yes I can cook and my husband John can make cracking bread so I thought I’d bring him with me to do that while I cook and he can keep the grass cut for you too. Seriously, would love to come one day and help out. We live in Nova Scotia, Canada so it might take a while. Lol. In the meantime, keep at it. You’re both doing a wonderful job.
@@suewellings4500 brilliant, would you believe my brother has a sticky back plastic company, he makes a fortune!!!!
@ OMG no way!!
Oh wow , Carole, you are moving very quickly ❣️❣️❣️ I really like your bedroom wallpaper !
Thank you, more work now, means I can relax in the summer!!! Cx
The blue china room will be so lovely when you have finished. The mold process is fascinating.
Thank you Donna Cx
The dinning room is magnificent. Curtain tie backs awesome, drapes are beautiful, woodwork is magnificent. Every detail
Red and yellow and ........am I going to sing a song? No I've been watching your super work on the mouldings Carole, and after you mentioned about your not having any nail varnish on I suddenly thought I was seeing things. Yeah I know that you didn't film it all in one take but I hope I get some marks for being observant.
Best wishes to you both.
Smart ass Detective Wilson. 😂
Make a permanent mold and you can use them throughout the house or even sell them to others 👍
Now there's a way of making some extra cash! Cx
Amazing that you can remake those to original 🙌🙌
Thank you, would you believe I found the 4th one! Oh well, now I have a spare Cx
You have mastered replicating the intricate plasterwork!!! I love watching you do this. You are so good at detailed restoration work. This chateau is going to be a showplace room by room. 💕
Thank you very much Stephanie Cx
Perfect 🙌 Can't wait to see the China blue room finished 💙
Thank you, might be a while, as the door lintel needs replacing first. CX
Incredible work etic. Respect. ♥️🇿🇦
Thank you Lizelle
Great job on the beautiful curtain tie backs!!
Thank you, I enjoyed doing them Cx
Really pretty, your attention to detail is amazing!🇨🇦❤️
Thank you Cx
Fabulous, painstaking job, well done
It was actu6nicevto sit down for a job thank you Cx
Love the blue
Love what you have done. Thank you for your instructions on the plaster… and the wallpaper in the blue room is beautiful!
You are welcome Cx
Carole has exceptional decorating taste. She would be able to make a fortune as a consultant to help people with bad taste . I love all your wallpaper Carole !! 😀💰
Thank you so much. But not everyone likes my taste, which I honestly have no problem with, we should all have our own tastes. Some people, like Adrian, just can't see the vision that a room could become. Cx
The tie backs for the curtains look great. You can’t tell the difference from original to the moulded ones. And that wallpaper for the blue room is beautiful. I can’t wait to see the finished product.
Thank you Catherine, it will be a very restful room Cx
Very satisfying job!
Beautiful job.👍🏻
Thanks Peggy Cx
Carol! Your design choices are so spot on! Love the blue China room!!!
Thank you Wendy Cx
Lovely work, Carole.
Thank you Dawn Cx
I love watching your progress🥰🇨🇦 You have excellent taste.
Thank you Cx
Super work. Sorry for not being online with your journey. I´ve been unwell and lost my Mum
Hi Germaine. We are sorry to hear that. We hope you are feeling a little better now. Time is a great healer.
Fascinating! Do you find the new plaster-of-Paris to be brittle? Also, if possible, please show us how you mix paint, for the plaster moldings, to match the surrounding woodwork. What you have done so far looks really nice.
Thank you, the plaster of Paris took a few days to dry properly and then I wouldn't say brittle, just easier and lighter to sand. I forgot to show but it was just a scumble glaze and a small amount of raw umber paint.
I love the dedication and patience in taking the time to get the missing and broken pieces reproduced to help bring each room back into glory. I saw you had a bit of a tricky time with getting the molding undone... is it a possibility of using some kind of a quick release sprayed onto the pieces before the pieces are pressed into the putty? I watch another RUclips channel and he uses a spray before pouring resin. I am not sure if that would damage the original pieces or negatively affect the molding material but just something I thought of. Another thing... and this may be situational IF someone around has this... would be to make a 3-D scan of those pieces and have them 3-D printed? I've seen prices of 3-D printers come down so if someone you know has one that can get some of those pieces fabricated could save time and speed up the small details?
That wallpaper you picked out with the blues and the birds oh myyy! Absolutely wonderful!!!! I cannot wait to see that room finished!
Can you believe Adrian mentioned the 3d printer, after I'd done the dining room!!! Oh well. I think that was just a tricky bit, but have been told that a little bit of oil on the piece, helps the mould come off easily. Not looking forward to the mouldings in the salon, they wrap around corners 😮
@ Sounds like a 3D printer would be ideal for the salon mouldings. Save you so much time and effort.
Carole you are doing such a beautiful job on the drapes. The drape holders look gorgeous you have made perfect replicas so it's hard to tell which one is the original. Can't wait to see the blue room finished I'm sure it will be just beautiful. God Bless, Kathy 🇺🇸
Thank you Kathy. Back to manual labour now, no sitting down on the job! Cx
Definitely a detail lady. Labour if love.😘
I try! CX
Wow, those 2 rooms are really looking wonderful. You are very good with picking colors & wallpaper, Carol. And those curtains will really help keep the rooms warm in cold days & cool on hot days.
Carol & Adrian, you've done a great job!
Thank you very much, finishing jobs take soo long. CX
Carol you are inspirational. Xx
Oh thank you Cx
The molds look fantastic...well done! I love the way you pay so much attention to detail, it really does finish off each job and brings everything back to the way it is supposed to be. I love the paper and details of the Blue China Room, it is going to look beautiful. You have great taste Carole and so enjoy watching you bring these rooms back to life. Can't wait to see what you do, but all in time. Of course Adrianne is a big part of everything too as he does the heavy and behind the scene things....can't forget him!!
Thank you Jane, can't forget Adrian, he makes so much noise! He's saving his energy for the floor removal! Work in the salon has begun! I'm so excited! Cx
Amazing love to watch and see the progress on your beautiful chateau. Many thanks for sharing the video
Thank you Nicholas Cx
love all the new blue
Thank you Lisa Cx
Great job on the tie backs. It’s looking absolutely gorgeous! 🥰
Thank you Margie Cx
They look amazing well done you thanks for sharing
Thank you Cx
The moldings are turning out great Carole! LOVE the wallpaper for the blue China room. That room is going to be gorgeous just like the dining room.
Thank you Kathy, but I'm more excited about the salon! Cx
You make the molding process look so easy. Nice job, Carole.
The holdbacks were an easy job compared to the ones on the wall. Thank you Cx
