Hi Stephanie, I think the reason why "doing it ourselves" has gained 100K subscribers in 5 weeks is the fact that they have the word "DIY" and "baking" in their description box. I am guessing that is the reason why I got "doing it ourselves" in my youtube feed in the first place. I like DIY and baking videos, and a lot of people with me. I think you should try and add the word "DIY" "restoring" " renovation" "construction" "cooking" "castle" (instead of chateau), "baking" and "fun" in the fixed description box below your videos. That will allow the algorithmic recommendations to show automatically your content to people who are interested in those topics ? It is worth a try. I really like your content a lot. And I am in admiration of how creative you are in finding ways to restore the castle and enjoying life while doing it. And with all the people in the vlogs, It is like watching an episode of "Friends" 😃 Keep safe. Greetings from Belgium.
Your suggestion is brilliant. I do hope Stephanie adds your word suggestions! We all love seeing Stephanie, Isabelle, Percy, Nic, Marie, Antoine and both Michael Ps and the Chateau helpers. I wish Chateau de Lalande Diaries many more subscribers so many more episodes can be made for our enjoyment and education
I thought it must’ve been something to do with the algorithm because there were a lot of comments on Michael’s channel about his videos popping up in people’s recommendations
I love that there is a little history or memory about every little thing in the chateau - and that you cherish them all! I see too many people, that furnish and decorate their homes like a magazine add - and it might look clean and fresh, but there is just no history or personality.
Stephanie, I am seriously rethinking every life choice that has led to me living in a boudoir-less house. Your apartment is warm and lovely, just like its occupant.
Love Chateau Diaries!!! Ever since I discovered The Chateau Diaries, I've been binge watching, too. Stephanie is superior as the queen of chateaus. She has complete control over what she presents, the advantage over having a producer(s) deciding what to record, and the end result is a masterpiece.
There’s something inexplicably satisfying seeing Volga linen items in your apartment. As a Russian I feel this sudden upsurge thinking ‘Stefanie has something all the way from Russia in her home’ 🙈🤗
Stephanie is adorable and delightful. Lovely, sensitive energy exudes from her ...not overpowering at all - what a wonderful teacher she would have been. Students would be entranced by her knowledge and the way she makes everything interesting and meaningful, a true story teller.
Ha Ha - "very useful for Valentines day" - Loved that and laughed so much. Oh and by the way I'm constantly surprised by your Fathers paintings, they are so good, first of all they are so well painted but also the joy in the wonderful colours and forms he created are fantastic. You should make a book of his paintings one day - I would definitely buy that.
I agree---his paintings are such a joy to have around!! I am a painter also, so I especially understand that having his 'Presence' around all the time has to be a major comfort. I lost my only child 5 years ago, but before that I always imagined that he would have many of my pieces in his home to remember me by. Your father was very gifted and not at all afraid to show his immense JOY. I have that too, that's why I am so moved by his paintings. Perhaps one day you will put all his wonderful work in a book so all your viewers can see in one place the art of a special father.
Excellent idea I would love to be able to take the prints out of a book and turn into pictures like mummy’s cow pictures in her kitchen!! Hi to all the Chateau followers!!
I love the whole chateau vibe, started with Michael (Doing It Ourselves) then found Stephanie, both of whom are awesome. I've checked out a few others and they don't hold handle a candle to this team, not by a long shot. Michael and Stephanie have STYLE, they know how to design and decorate spaces that are true to the chateau's period charm. They are incredibly talented and have engaging personalities that just draw you into their world. I see big things ahead for this dynamic duo!
I completely agree with you but in reverse, I discovered Stephanie first and then Michael. I shopped around for other people restoring a château but they weren’t up to their standards. These two have a wonderful chemistry and you can just feel their love of what they are doing.
I’m so glad Michael Petherick of Doing It Ourselves sent me over to your channel. I’m a new subscriber and have been binge watching your videos. I’m loving the tours of each part of your beautiful Chateau de la Lande! Susan
Lovely apartment! I’ve heard from interior designers that the nicest homes have meaningful pieces (art, décor, furniture) that are collected over a lifetime vs. the plain cookie cutter instant decorating seen today in many homes. Your château is especially wonderful because you collect and display what you LOVE and your personality really shines through! Another delightful vlog Stephanie! 💕
I've never seen this before and I must say, I enjoy it. She seems like a fun loving and kind person. I can relate to her corridor of shame because in my home it would correlate to my dining room table.
My road to subscribing was a bit long... I initially got the "Doing it Ourselves" videos on my recommended Home page a few times and eventually thought... fine, I'll check it out and had never watched vlogs like theirs (a chateau!) before but I HAD searched and watched series of people "renovating" historical or old homes so I completely agree with the algorithm idea about keywords making a difference. I clicked on your channel because of your collab with Doing it Ourselves but I was a little lost at who was who, and what was happening. I then started to get your videos rec'd on my home page and thought I'd try again to see if I like the channel. ...What I found SUPER helpful was actually finding your 'Sundays at the Chateau' playlist and watching it from the very beginning. I was hooked and subbed once I had a better idea about who you were, how the property had come into your life, and what your ideas for the property in the future were. You're also full of so much historical knowledge! ...I don't know if any of my shared experience helps with understanding your channel better from a new viewers point of view 🤷♀️ ...but yes, keywords are big and watching your "Sunday's at the Chateau" playlist was key for me. 😊🙌🍾
Hmmmm.....I must have missed the squealing part. However I did really enjoy this. She is a natural personality for television. I enjoyed her tour and I am subscribing to this channel. I enjoy these types of restorations immensely.
Sunday First EASTER Day I finally got to see one of those Videos. Of which I thought. Oh ! Another Story of Crumbling Beams and Cobweb Rooms turned into Too Modernized Interior Spaces. But No ! Stephany keeps me Addicted to her Personal Story. Of a Dream Far Away in France. And Parts of the Grounds outside that Keep your Hands Itching to Work at a Beginning to bring back Life.
“The scents of memory lane .....” that’s so true & beautifully said Stephanie !! You kept those past fragrances just so that you could always remember them through their scents and most of all you feel like your beloved ones are still alive !! What a treasure ! And that’s just priceless ... !! Thank you again for showing us how deep love , life and passion ...from a fan far away land ..NZ .
Hi Ava, I couldnt agree with you more. Stephanie is a very special human being. I love her caring, sentimental and very humorous personality. I'm a Kiwi too. I dream of visiting rural France one day
What fun! I was a little disappointed when I was sent home early from work early today. It's raining and I wasn't sure how to spend the rest of the day. But now I'm spending the day with Stephanie at Chateau Lalande! My day is complete!!! Thank you from Oregon, USA❤🤗
I really really like the automated bird! The quarantine basket is fun! I love the copper bath with mirror surround it. That is the fanciest most beautiful bathroom I have ever seen!! Thank you Stephanie, I so enjoy your vlogs!
This channel deserves so much More followers. Thank you Stephanie for all the work, editing and letting us take a look into your lifes.greetings from Berlin
The best way to appreciate a candle scent is actually to smell the inside of the glass dome : the fragrance is more diffused and closer to what you 'll smell when the candle is lit .
That was so much fun to be with you on your tour Stephanie, thank you so much. I am so thankful to have found you about a month or so ago. I love you and your family and friends. Love from Wisconsin USA . I think I have watched each episode at least 2 times now. ha ha.
Did anyone else notice at about 7:05, when you say "this piano has not the best sound to it..." a light orb appears and floats through your dress and as well, a larger orb appears on the left side, as your saying it belonged to your teacher...? hmmm? "Visitors' in spirit?... anyway what I really want to say is I LOVE, love love your stories, your enthusiasm, inspiration and the beauty of the Chateau! I stumbled across your channel, because the little tiny "shack" I've been renovating, feels like it should be on a lake- but there is no lake here and never was, therefore it is "missing"... Also, my ex and I bought a house in Valle d'itria, Puglia part of Italy in 2005.. At one time the Trullo part of the house was a winery- in 19th century- an artsy type of guy, built a farmhouse around it- it was an Italian summer home for the previous family from 1966... we stayed quite awhile working on the place surrounded by beautiful, beautiful countryside.. It was my dream to stay there and retire.. but now that's another story... I can relate somewhat to your stories- every day was a new discovery! Also reading some of the comments, YES< DO! take the metal detector to the empty lake! I'm amazed with the things we found on our property- even without detectors! We found boxes of art supplies, a garden with walkways that were buried and two huge underground vineyard cisterni -one stained from grapes that were pressed and drained through the floor, and it smelled like wine. I wish you good luck and all the best and will keep following your stories. Such an exciting adventure!
Stephanie, You gave your Father much deserved attention in this video. As a Mother, I was the voice continually beside my husband to be the Dad he needed to be. Our children , & grandkids never knew. I adore Isabelle, & think a beautiful montage of her, mixed with Michael’s talent for music, would be AMAZING ‼️ She has said some of the funniest things. Make sure to include those. ✅ Early pictures. Her life story, meeting your Dad. Document her. She is a fascinating woman. I imagine her in a different life as an actress on Broadway. She works so hard, has amazing insight to life. Do it NOW, do not wait. My Mom died 2 yrs ago. Love to see a live stream interview of Mummy. Loved the episode of her in the kitchen fussing with that machine.🤣😂 Name escapes me. Her skipping was so cute. She reminds me of my “Little Mammaw”, who was 4’9” tall, & dynamite. So hilarious & full of life. Thank you both so much for sharing your family with us. ❤️🇺🇸
It's been 3 years since you made this video Stephanie, and I really think that you should treat yourself and redo your room like you mentioned here, in this video. You work so hard on your channel and getting the rest of the Chateau in the most beautiful state that it's time that you put your apartment next. I can imagine what you and Phillip would come up with! Probably the most stunning room! I will be 100% looking forward to that video when that day comes. So many crafts, decorating, fabrics, and wallpapers to look forward to lol. with love, Britney.
Thank you for showing this beautiful part of your chateau! I just love your enthusiasm, wit, and charm! You are truly an inspiration to me. Even though I'm 66, I have dreams of buying a fixer-upper farm here in Ontario, Canada. I look forward to your new vlogs but I have also been watching your older ones too.
The bird looks so real and actually sounds real also. Nice to have a bird you do not need to feed or give water, and yet you can enjoy their singing. You can see that lovely cage anytime you come to your bedroom. Very unique gift.
I love your enthusiasm and so appreciate you giving us the history and or memory you have for the chateau and the furnishings. I love your vlog and have recently become a patron. Thank you.
I'm looking to buy a chateau considering I've become completely disfranchised by civilization post pandemic. And I stumbled into this channel, this gal may be the earthly incarnation of an angel! What a joy of a person, her passion and charm brought such a smile to my face.
This was wonderful, I love seeing the old and watching the changes made to it. I was surprised to see the walls painted like stone, not very pretty❗️Love your dreams and thank you for pointing out the locks and switches very interesting. Like your outfit too❣️
Hello Stephanie, last week I came across one of Michael's videos and watched all of his videos. He always shoutout to your channel and I've been a big fan ever since. I've been binge-watching your videos day and night. I just want to let you know that I love your videos and your personality!
Stephanie, do you happen to know that the original bottles for Shalimar in 1925 were made by the Baccarat artisans? I love the fragrance and wear it often.
An true interior designer will faint at the sight of the colossal amount of things. Very soon Steph will run out of space at her chateau, which right now resembles a thrift shop.
I cannot remember if I've commented this already, but seeing that stunning art nouveau Limoges tea set has prompted me to please request you continue making porcelain and china videos, particularly one about Limoges!!!
Everyday I marvel at the beauty you show us. How you manage to keep all this up and have attained all these things over the years is beyond me. Even knowing that you have a part of your budget set for decor, how was it enough to have amassed such a quantity of amazing furniture and items? Either France is simply overflowing with beautiful antiques, or you have a remarkable devotion for these pursuits.
Thank you for graciously showing us your private apartment, Steph. Your Dad was such an artist 🎨, and it's so wonderful how you are keeping his memories alive. May God continue to Bless, guide and have your Guardian Angel keep watch over you. 🤗💕💕💕
Lisanne van Geleuken I just commented the same above. I’d love to know more about her adoring father. He bought her so many beautiful items for the chateau during their local travels...he really is so beloved...they truly still cherish one another.
Just started watching you having a binge of your videos! I’m 19 from Essex and was intrigued to see your fathers letter was sent from Clacton on sea! (I assume it was sent from) thats not too far from me:) small world! I also lost my dad in 2009, I’m so glad you have such wonderful things to remember your father by, He was a talented man I bet he’s very proud!
Love your home, fairytale living. I am from South Africa, nice surprise to recognize the beads in your bathroom and then your confirmation that you bought it in South Africa. Best regards, Mariet
Oh I missed the live! There was a mix up in the time. It was lovely to see your space. I can't wait to see it finish the way you envision it! You deserve the bedroom of your dream! And these two windows beside your bed. It's truly a blessing to see the sunset and sunrise! You choose the perfect spot! :)
🌹Another gorgeous vlog - thank you Stephanie for sharing your beautiful home with us all in this growing “Chateau-phile” family! You are such fun - we think you must have inherited that from your delightful mother🌹
You had me at copper bath!! OMG How gorgeous. Your apartment is beautiful now and will continue to be your own work of art as it evolves. Thank you so much for sharing your inner most sanctum with us.
✨ I watched this during the premiere and watched it again to see all the details I might have missed. You play the piano so well! When I was a little girl my grandma put me in piano school for a handful of years but I wasn’t interested because I’m a dancer and didn’t find it fun. Now as an adult I wish I knew how to play. Bathroom goals! I love your tea cups, your bath pitcher/bowl set, headboard, big windows, all those mirrors in your bathroom and your vibrant green blazer. Flappy bird looks beautiful restored! Your place is a dream! You had a cool father!!! It’s nice to have so many tangible things of his. I never grew up with a dad. You are blessed ✨
Oh my, at time stamp 7:06 two orbs entered the frame and then wandered out of shot moving from right to left. I would love to visit someday and feel their energies!!
Ohhh I love that tub! And I did the same with a calendar. I saved several years worth of Ansel Adams prints, took a class, learned to frame and they are the feature in my living room for many years now.
Just beautiful! My bedroom is my favourite room in my house. I watch your vlogs while drinking my morning cup of tea in bed. I have a silk bed jacket I wear or if really cold a fur stole. My husband brings me my tea cup, pot, strainer and milk jug on a gorgeous little tray. I can see one of my kittens climbing up a ladder out of my window, very funny! Thankyou for the tour and to Mummy🙏❤️
Ok You just made me want to move to France and Buy a Chateau of my own! I live in a beautiful place..Carlsbad California by the beach but Ive always loved Castles and Chateaux. I was in the grocery store today with my Standard Poodle and bumped into a nice young woman who complemented my dog and I mentioned your channel in the conversation because she remarked that my dog looked like a fancy French Poodle....which ofcourse lead into an entire conversation about France! I told her to watch your channel and she replied: " I think you just planted an Idea in my head! Thank You!
Every time I watch one of your videos I always check how are you doing on your pateon!!(never cared for patreon before) I'm am not able to contribute unfortunately but I really hope you get many more!!! that way we can enjoy your adventures in restoring this beautiful building.
I have just watched this a second time, the first time was probably soon after it was uploaded during the height of Cv 19. Now that I have watched your videos for most of 2020, rewatching this I understand so much more about the people of Lalande and this wonderful place you call home! I am so glad I took the time to rewatch! It all makes much more sense to me now!
I am excited to see the chinese room coming together in future. The scenery around is the perfect connection to the beautiful interior! Love the frog noises in the back too 😁
Your apartment is so lovely just as it is, without changing a thing, and I love your father's paintings. You are so fortunate to have his artwork to place throughout the Chateau. Thanks Stephanie. xoxo
Finally! I have watched all the videos! Honestly La Londe is now in my dreams. Heavenly! I thought having watched all the videos that would answer all my questions, but it created more questions. Your videos have become my guilty pleasure during this time of isolation. I pray you and your family are safe and well. Thank you for sharing your chateau with us. ❤️
Thank you Stephanie for such a fascinating vlog tour of your amazing apartment with the incredible views. I love the historically detailed commentary and your passion and accomplished eye for design and clever space utilization. It makes wonderful viewing. May I also say all beautifully and expertly filmed by your mother! x

I am guessing that is the reason why I got "doing it ourselves" in my youtube feed in the first place. I like DIY and baking videos, and a lot of people with me.

Your suggestion is brilliant. I do hope Stephanie adds your word suggestions! We all love seeing Stephanie, Isabelle, Percy, Nic, Marie, Antoine and both Michael Ps and the Chateau helpers. I wish Chateau de Lalande Diaries many more subscribers so many more episodes can be made for our enjoyment and education
I also miss David. He must be in England.
I thought the exact same thing!! 😂
I thought it must’ve been something to do with the algorithm because there were a lot of comments on Michael’s channel about his videos popping up in people’s recommendations
Everything is GORGEOUS, and so are you, as well as your appreciation of old and beautiful things!
You're the perfect person to have this castle. Your love for art, beauty and architecture shines through.
Stephanie has an almost childlike innocence and fascination with all of the beautiful things in the chateau. What a truly gorgeous place to call home.
I love that there is a little history or memory about every little thing in the chateau - and that you cherish them all! I see too many people, that furnish and decorate their homes like a magazine add - and it might look clean and fresh, but there is just no history or personality.
I really adore your love and respect to the chateau. The marquis made the right decision by choosing you as the next owner ♡
Stephanie, I am seriously rethinking every life choice that has led to me living in a boudoir-less house. Your apartment is warm and lovely, just like its occupant.
Boudoirless ?? HORRORS ! 😁
This tour was just wonderful!! Your love for the chateau, furnishings, objets d'art, the countryside, and history is pure joy to watch!!
Love Chateau Diaries!!! Ever since I discovered The Chateau Diaries, I've been binge watching, too. Stephanie is superior as the queen of chateaus. She has complete control over what she presents, the advantage over having a producer(s) deciding what to record, and the end result is a masterpiece.
Out of ALL the Chateaux in FRANCE this is the MOST TASTEFUL ❤❤
There’s something inexplicably satisfying seeing Volga linen items in your apartment. As a Russian I feel this sudden upsurge thinking ‘Stefanie has something all the way from Russia in her home’ 🙈🤗
Stephanie is adorable and delightful. Lovely, sensitive energy exudes from her ...not overpowering at all - what a wonderful teacher she would have been. Students would be entranced by her knowledge and the way she makes everything interesting and meaningful, a true story teller.
Opens the linen cupboard -- oh another crown -- "they're everywhere!" ha ha
I loved that too.Quite like me as I too collect crowns...it's a girl thing our feeling we are princesses!
you are so sweet! I really enjoyed this video and all the personal stories you shared with me. thank you
Ha Ha - "very useful for Valentines day" - Loved that and laughed so much.
Oh and by the way I'm constantly surprised by your Fathers paintings, they are so good, first of all they are so well painted but also the joy in the wonderful colours and forms he created are fantastic. You should make a book of his paintings one day - I would definitely buy that.

Perhaps one day you will put all his wonderful work in a book so all your viewers can see in one place the art of a special father.
Örn Leifsson That is a wonderful idea! For Stephanie to make a book of her fathers paintings. I love the bright mix of colours he uses too.
Excellent idea I would love to be able to take the prints out of a book and turn into pictures like mummy’s cow pictures in her kitchen!! Hi to all the Chateau followers!!
Örn Leifsson I would so buy one too! A calendar perhaps? They’re marvellous!

Your château is especially wonderful because you collect and display what you LOVE and your personality really shines through! Another delightful vlog Stephanie! 💕
Lovely, and mummy what a marvellous videographer you are, there is no end to your talents (cooking too 😇) xx
Julie P Such smooth pans!

Stephanie talking about every single object in the Chateau: " this is one of my favorite..."
She's so lovelyyyyy😍
Just like her Mummy!
These are a few of my favorite things!
Hmmmm.....I must have missed the squealing part. However I did really enjoy this. She is a natural personality for television. I enjoyed her tour and I am subscribing to this channel. I enjoy these types of restorations immensely.
Sunday First EASTER Day I finally got to see one of those Videos. Of which I thought. Oh ! Another Story of Crumbling Beams and Cobweb Rooms turned into Too Modernized Interior Spaces. But No ! Stephany keeps me Addicted to her Personal Story. Of a Dream Far Away in France. And Parts of the Grounds outside that Keep your Hands Itching to Work at a Beginning to bring back Life.
“The scents of memory lane .....” that’s so true & beautifully said Stephanie !! You kept those past fragrances just so that you could always remember them through their scents and most of all you feel like your beloved ones are still alive !! What a treasure ! And that’s just priceless ... !! Thank you again for showing us how deep love , life and passion ...from a fan far away land ..NZ .
Hi Ava, I couldnt agree with you more. Stephanie is a very special human being. I love her caring, sentimental and very humorous personality. I'm a Kiwi too. I dream of visiting rural France one day
Another Kiwi here.. dreaming to volunteer at her Chateau one day.. wish we were not that far away ..
@@rupinderbajwa8368 same... Wish we lived closer
Another fellow Kiwi here, these vlogs add a unique sparkle to my day.
Shalimar is one of my favorite perfumes discovered it in my twenties and in my eighties I still wear it
I just love your father's artwork. Its so stunning and different from everything else. Beautiful apartment Stephanie!!
The Château is lovely for sure. It is actually the sound of the birds in the background that is truly magical. And your view❤️
Please do a book of your Dads paintings I find myself searching through the videos to find the ones I love. such a talented family
The great part of any room not being "ready to show" is that it provides more content for update videos! Thank you for sharing your home with us! ☺
I love to hear the history behind everything. It's great!
What fun! I was a little disappointed when I was sent home early from work early today. It's raining and I wasn't sure how to spend the rest of the day. But now I'm spending the day with Stephanie at Chateau Lalande! My day is complete!!! Thank you from Oregon, USA❤🤗
The very tiny unoticable inperfections is what makes everything so PERFECT...
💛👑💛 Absolutely Gorgeous Apartment
Love the apartment, and love that you played a piece from "The Piano" on the piano!
Just an idea. I'd love to learn more about your father and his art. I adore his pieces.
I really really like the automated bird! The quarantine basket is fun! I love the copper bath with mirror surround it. That is the fanciest most beautiful bathroom I have ever seen!! Thank you Stephanie, I so enjoy your vlogs!
You have an amazing life, not that it is perfect (none of us gets that), I know it, but you managed to turn your dream into reality. Very inspiring!
This channel deserves so much More followers. Thank you Stephanie for all the work, editing and letting us take a look into your lifes.greetings from Berlin

Stephanie your memory is amazing! How you remember where everything is from and what era it’s from etc! Amazing!
That was so much fun to be with you on your tour Stephanie, thank you so much. I am so thankful to have found you about a month or so ago. I love you and your family and friends. Love from Wisconsin USA . I think I have watched each episode at least 2 times now. ha ha.

Stephanie,
You gave your Father much deserved attention in this video.
As a Mother, I was the voice continually beside my husband to be the Dad he needed to be.
Our children , & grandkids never knew.
I adore Isabelle, & think a beautiful montage of her, mixed with Michael’s talent for music, would be AMAZING ‼️
She has said some of the funniest things.
Make sure to include those. ✅
Early pictures. Her life story, meeting your Dad.
Document her.
She is a fascinating woman.
I imagine her in a different life as an actress on Broadway.
She works so hard, has amazing insight to life.
Do it NOW, do not wait.
My Mom died 2 yrs ago.
Love to see a live stream interview of Mummy.
Loved the episode of her in the kitchen fussing with that machine.🤣😂
Name escapes me.
Her skipping was so cute.
She reminds me of my
“Little Mammaw”, who was 4’9” tall, & dynamite.
So hilarious & full of life.
Thank you both so much for sharing your family with us. ❤️🇺🇸
It's been 3 years since you made this video Stephanie, and I really think that you should treat yourself and redo your room like you mentioned here, in this video.

So many crafts, decorating, fabrics, and wallpapers to look forward to lol.
with love, Britney.
Such a wonderful tour of your private quarters. Thank you for sharing and Blessings to all at LaLande. 🐶🐾🐾💕🦔🐏🐑
Thank you for showing this beautiful part of your chateau! I just love your enthusiasm, wit, and charm! You are truly an inspiration to me. Even though I'm 66, I have dreams of buying a fixer-upper farm here in Ontario, Canada. I look forward to your new vlogs but I have also been watching your older ones too.
I just love your fathers paintings so much - another great video to start my day! Thanks for sharing your world with us.
That view out of your window looked like a marvelous painting!
Too beautiful to be real!
You could restore the babies crib in the attic with the ships wheel and place the puppets in there...
Love that idea
Love the automaton bird in the cage, there was an identical one at the start of a BBC programme on antiques called Going for a Song.

The bird looks so real and actually sounds real also. Nice to have a bird you do not need to feed or give water, and yet you can enjoy their singing. You can see that lovely cage anytime you come to your bedroom. Very unique gift.
I’m rewatching the video just once the wall Stephanie is talking about went down 😀💪
I love your enthusiasm and so appreciate you giving us the history and or memory you have for the chateau and the furnishings. I love your vlog and have recently become a patron. Thank you.
So interesting that your discussing the antiques,the decor,and even the tiaras ..love it all Stephanie.
Watching this in September 2023
Funny !! Watching this in July 19 2024 and loving it !!
I'm looking to buy a chateau considering I've become completely disfranchised by civilization post pandemic. And I stumbled into this channel, this gal may be the earthly incarnation of an angel! What a joy of a person, her passion and charm brought such a smile to my face.
This was wonderful, I love seeing the old and watching the changes made to it. I was surprised to see the walls painted like stone, not very pretty❗️Love your dreams and thank you for pointing out the locks and switches very interesting. Like your outfit too❣️
Hi Stephanie I just hope you know how much I enjoyed your guided tour today. Many blessings from California 💕❤️💕❤️🙋♀️
I am watching some of your oldest videos and am now getting to understand what you have done and what has changed in the newest vlogs. Love it.
Your father was a great artist - I love his strong style.
Hello Stephanie, last week I came across one of Michael's videos and watched all of his videos. He always shoutout to your channel and I've been a big fan ever since. I've been binge-watching your videos day and night. I just want to let you know that I love your videos and your personality!
Stephanie, do you happen to know that the original bottles for Shalimar in 1925 were made by the Baccarat artisans? I love the fragrance and wear it often.
I wish Alidad, a world famous interior designer, would sponsor a room and decorate it. The scale of your chateaux is right up his alley.
Do u know him and could kindly ask lol? Wouldn't that be wonderful and Steph would be so thankful, I'm sure
An true interior designer will faint at the sight of the colossal amount of things. Very soon Steph will run out of space at her chateau, which right now resembles a thrift shop.
I cannot remember if I've commented this already, but seeing that stunning art nouveau Limoges tea set has prompted me to please request you continue making porcelain and china videos, particularly one about Limoges!!!
Everyday I marvel at the beauty you show us. How you manage to keep all this up and have attained all these things over the years is beyond me. Even knowing that you have a part of your budget set for decor, how was it enough to have amassed such a quantity of amazing furniture and items? Either France is simply overflowing with beautiful antiques, or you have a remarkable devotion for these pursuits.
I hope you will get the lake back!!! What a disgrace that they tricked you. Great vlogs!!
Am always feeling for that lake too!
@@jajaazmi9186 I am looking forward to Stephanie's family, friends, guests boating and swimming on the lake!! Mummy dressed as a pirate!!;-)
@@mariannek4593Marianne, why must mummy dressed as a pirate??
@@jajaazmi9186 she conquers the oceans
;-)
@@mariannek4593 brilliant!!
I was watching Michael before I Discovered you now I'm going back and forth with you,Michael and his family..outstanding to all .Tamara
"Super fun stage of wondering what a room could be like." For me, the dreaming part is sooooooo much more fun than The Doing part.
Love the bathroom 😍
Thank you for graciously showing us your private apartment, Steph.
Your Dad was such an artist 🎨, and it's so wonderful how you are keeping his memories alive. May God continue to Bless, guide and have your Guardian Angel keep watch over you. 🤗💕💕💕
I appreciate your palette for decoration and history. Your channel does wonders for my anxiety btw.
Thank you Stephanie, love seeing your home!
Love it :) Can you maybe tell us a bit more about your parents? They seem such inspiring people and your fathers art is amazing..
Lisanne van Geleuken I just commented the same above. I’d love to know more about her adoring father. He bought her so many beautiful items for the chateau during their local travels...he really is so beloved...they truly still cherish one another.
Just started watching you having a binge of your videos! I’m 19 from Essex and was intrigued to see your fathers letter was sent from Clacton on sea! (I assume it was sent from) thats not too far from me:) small world! I also lost my dad in 2009, I’m so glad you have such wonderful things to remember your father by, He was a talented man I bet he’s very proud!
Love your home, fairytale living. I am from South Africa, nice surprise to recognize the beads in your bathroom and then your confirmation that you bought it in South Africa. Best regards, Mariet
Oh I missed the live! There was a mix up in the time. It was lovely to see your space. I can't wait to see it finish the way you envision it! You deserve the bedroom of your dream! And these two windows beside your bed. It's truly a blessing to see the sunset and sunrise! You choose the perfect spot! :)
🌹Another gorgeous vlog - thank you Stephanie for sharing your beautiful home with us all in this growing “Chateau-phile” family! You are such fun - we think you must have inherited that from your delightful mother🌹
I would love to see videos of you restoring treasures in the attic. ❤
Lovely Video, Thank You.🙏🙏❤🇯🇲
You had me at copper bath!! OMG How gorgeous. Your apartment is beautiful now and will continue to be your own work of art as it evolves. Thank you so much for sharing your inner most sanctum with us.
New subscriber here from Tampa,FL USA...Just found your channel by accident..I'm sure you hear it daily but wow..what a beautiful Chateau you have!!
I do love this tour. I would like to see you cooking with the recipes and how you sew the curtains, DIY.
✨ I watched this during the premiere and watched it again to see all the details I might have missed.
You play the piano so well! When I was a little girl my grandma put me in piano school for a handful of years but I wasn’t interested because I’m a dancer and didn’t find it fun. Now as an adult I wish I knew how to play.
Bathroom goals! I love your tea cups, your bath pitcher/bowl set, headboard, big windows, all those mirrors in your bathroom and your vibrant green blazer. Flappy bird looks beautiful restored! Your place is a dream! You had a cool father!!! It’s nice to have so many tangible things of his. I never grew up with a dad.
You are blessed ✨
Oh my, at time stamp 7:06 two orbs entered the frame and then wandered out of shot moving from right to left. I would love to visit someday and feel their energies!!
Ohhh I love that tub! And I did the same with a calendar. I saved several years worth of Ansel Adams prints, took a class, learned to frame and they are the feature in my living room for many years now.
Just beautiful! My bedroom is my favourite room in my house. I watch your vlogs while drinking my morning cup of tea in bed. I have a silk bed jacket I wear or if really cold a fur stole. My husband brings me my tea cup, pot, strainer and milk jug on a gorgeous little tray. I can see one of my kittens climbing up a ladder out of my window, very funny! Thankyou for the tour and to Mummy🙏❤️
Ok You just made me want to move to France and Buy a Chateau of my own! I live in a beautiful place..Carlsbad California by the beach but Ive always loved Castles and Chateaux. I was in the grocery store today with my Standard Poodle and bumped into a nice young woman who complemented my dog and I mentioned your channel in the conversation because she remarked that my dog looked like a fancy French Poodle....which ofcourse lead into an entire conversation about France! I told her to watch your channel and she replied: " I think you just planted an Idea in my head! Thank You!
Every time I watch one of your videos I always check how are you doing on your pateon!!(never cared for patreon before) I'm am not able to contribute unfortunately but I really hope you get many more!!! that way we can enjoy your adventures in restoring this beautiful building.
I think the gold trim will fit the room so much better than the bright fluoro pink. Good call!
Your love and appreciation of fine things is infectious ... thank you for sharing your wonderful collection of objects and your home Stephanie
I have just watched this a second time, the first time was probably soon after it was uploaded during the height of Cv 19. Now that I have watched your videos for most of 2020, rewatching this I understand so much more about the people of Lalande and this wonderful place you call home! I am so glad I took the time to rewatch! It all makes much more sense to me now!
I am excited to see the chinese room coming together in future.
The scenery around is the perfect connection to the beautiful interior! Love the frog noises in the back too 😁
love what she is wearing...loved this video all the details and memories so sweet...thanks for sharing
Thank you for the tour! Your mother is such a help (holding the camera below eye level of the mirrors). Your tub is exquisite. You brightened my day!
Your apartment is so lovely just as it is, without changing a thing, and I love your father's paintings. You are so fortunate to have his artwork to place throughout the Chateau. Thanks Stephanie. xoxo
Finally! I have watched all the videos! Honestly La Londe is now in my dreams. Heavenly! I thought having watched all the videos that would answer all my questions, but it created more questions. Your videos have become my guilty pleasure during this time of isolation. I pray you and your family are safe and well. Thank you for sharing your chateau with us. ❤️
I want a painting by your father, think they are amazing. So colorful and playful, love it!
I’m just seeing this video today and I have one of the French daybeds , I wanted or For years and finally got myself one , so excited !!!!!
Thank you Stephanie for such a fascinating vlog tour of your amazing apartment with the incredible views. I love the historically detailed commentary and your passion and accomplished eye for design and clever space utilization. It makes wonderful viewing. May I also say all beautifully and expertly filmed by your mother! x
I got chills when she exactly predicted a fourth door..
Your apartment is the most beautiful thing ever, loved every view. I would never get out of that bathroom haha. 💜
What a beautiful apartment. Thank you for sharing it with us!
You also look stunning in that floral dress. It's such a good look on you. :)
