Stunning! Well done Ladies. Comfort and elegance giving life to an old dame again. Cannot wait to see more.

[@dumitriudaniela]

i have tears of overwhelming joy in my eyes as i am watching the last seconds of the video. So much work and love was put into this preparation and the warmth of the whole atmosphere during the workshop transpired through the screen, simply melting my heart. As a painter myself and lover of France, chateaus and beauty, i would have loved to participate in such environment. Please create another video showing us in detail all the lovely rooms and dining table decorations or even food explorations, because i saw your mother cooking some delicious dinner on the stove. Everything was such a treat for the eyes, i didnt want it to end.

[@marucaleach8754]

Thank you for your deep appreciation!

[@sophieauert]

What you did in just a few months is nothing short than amazing. 👏 Your chateau now looks inviting, warm and cosy. Your clever ideas, good taste and attention to detail made all the difference. Well done! The final reveal in the last minutes almost felt a bit rushed after the intense buildup and I would love if you could show the different rooms and spaces in more details if you ever get a chance - as a before/after type of video maybe... BTW, "Chambre bleue" would be be written with an "e" at the end of bleu, because it's une chambre (feminine). Lot of love and keep the wonderful videos coming! 🧡

[@lakelili]

So wonderful to have you back! I hope that matress surfing is an activity you will be offering guests. A stunning amount of work you have all accomplished. Congratulations on you first workshop!

[@marnieenglish9400]

That was one of the most best vlogs I've ever watched on you tube. Well done and congratulations on everything you have achieved. Everything done and being done to the highest standards x can't wait for your journey x 💞

[@txjellybean3772]

I was transported to your Chateau and forgot about every problem the world and I are facing. Thank you for this reprieve! The Chateau looked really beautiful. I would like to attend a retreat next year. Love from the great country of Texas. 🤠

[@laurieryan-mcdonald3222]

Stunning video! I'm overwhelmed with the beauty of your chateau and the beauty evident in the personalities of each one of you! What a remarkable team you are and what a lovely experience for your guests! Congratulations!

[@danamoss67]

You have great instincts(color combos, vibes, decor, etc) and yes, socks are the best gifts!

[@reddragon8]

Gawsh my fave part was the mattress surfing.😂 Looked like so much fun ! And my fave room so far has to be that gorgeous pink room at 10:10. What a stunning wall covering and curtain. 😍

[@onedandylion]

Oh my! This was absolutely riveting. You all worked so hard and created such a beautiful situation for your first workshop guests. You must be thrilled. Thank you so much for sharing the gorgeous details of the preparation work... it made your success even richer. I am so happy for you all and I can only imagine your relief at knowing what you have dreamed of will, indeed, become your reality. Hearty congratulations!

[@crystalclear5684]

It's ahhmazing Julia (!)...what all of you have accomplished in such a short time! So impressed with your attention to detail and keeping it sleek and not overly done. Love the brocantes finds, such treasures you are turning up...wow on the great bargains 😍 Your Retreats are going to be a dream trip for so many... and maybe you could find some room for a couple of volunteers (like the 'Work Away' thing) to help out?? Wishing you guys alot of success & creative bliss in all of your wonderful endeavors... (not missing Cali too much?; ) 💛🍀🌹🍀💛

[@susannoonan1]

Great use for this chateau. Lots of hard work but you will never regret it. Shows real American know how to make it happen. Congrats 👏

[@nicolethijs5428]

I was never averse to the pale blue drapes and woodwork colour but with the carpet gone its looks ten times better! Its a very sofisticated blue!

[@leslikuyweski4576]

Well done! The Chateau looks amazing! The workshop looks like it was a huge success.

[@maureenabray7660]

As you film going around from room to room, there are some views that take my breath away. You are so rich in talent, space and inspirations. Keep up your great work. Your guests will be so impressed and inspired as well.

[@sanyaomerovic1659]

The chateau looks so warm and welcoming .Love the long hallway the best ,even the baby blue colors looks fantastic with all the lighting and frames. Thanks Penelope for editing this video and making my Sunday. Wishing you all the best from San Diego.

[@meredith1373]

This channel is wonderful!!!! I so enjoy how you present videos of over 30 min in length as they have substance and depth. Well done and I am looking forward to watching your tremendous progress. ❤

[@nikolaiho]

GIRLPOWER!!! I raise my hat to you ladies for doing all the work!!

[@kmarch6630]

The twine and springs on the box spring sets was they way they were manufactured and are much more supportive than today's box spring or foundations as they are also called.

[@lindaa.3533]

Wow!!! What hard work you all did!!! Great job! Everything looked SO nice. And AMAZING what that tile paint accomplished. You all definitely deserve a pat on the back!

[@Kiwichick138]

Wow, what a transformation! I know the bathrooms will be updated in the future, but painting the tiles made such a difference. What a magical chateaux

[@marucaleach8754]

Thank you we agree !!!

[@Travelling_Jonoberries]

Let us say that the Chateau preparations for the Artist retreat were absolutely beautiful and most tastefully done, magnifique!! Well done guys and what a lovely achievement to now have your place open for others to enjoy, thank you for allowing us to be part of your adventures 👍😇🙏🇫🇷🏰

[@donnasteinberg1398]

WOW! The hallway looks so good without the carpet! I love the blue walls and drapes. Now it looks great! Soft but fresh! Great Job! Much love from Massachusetts💕

[@Sushi2735]

The soft blue hallway looks awesome against the wood floor. Changes the entire look of the hall! I have never in my life seen such tile. Considering how beautifully the rest of the chateau was decorated, the tile absolutely baffles me???? You have done a simply magnificent job getting the rooms ready! Just amazing work. I’m so happy for you. Your business is going to be a roaring success! Just thrilled to see nice people win!,

[@aprildixon8922]

Very professional video.... you gals and guy are pretty awesome thank you for sharing ....

[@karenhood8920]

OMG! I can’t believe what you accomplished in such a short time!! Congratulations!!

[@ragdollmag]

The mattress surfing made me smile :) My mum thought I was crazy when I said, and I'll get a shipping container and ship all our stuff there. Now I can say that you guys did it and it's not such a crazy idea. I think it's just because she sold nearly everything we owned before moving from New Zealand to Australia but I can't part with most of my stuff that I've spent years collecting and also treasure hunting for. I have an antique French display cabinet with a dome and carved dragon and phoenixes that perch on top of the dome I bought for myself a few birthdays ago which was a real bargain that I feel like it will be going back home. Thrifting for treasures and antiques in France to decorate a chateau is a dream, I can't wait and is something I enjoy watching others do ;) The tile paint did wonders. You're very inspiring and motivating!

[@janegendreau6595]

I was just telling my husband about the journey to your chateau, from New York City to San Diego to France! I was so excited to share with him your monumental accomplishments in such a brief period of time!! Your 1st workshop last year appeared to be a triumph & here you are again, coming up on your 2nd workshop!! Best wishes to the entire family, finally together again, as you embark on this latest venture!! Can't wait to see video from this workshop!! How exciting!! 🇺🇸

[@claudiamann7111]

You have all done an incredible amount of work and it shows. I'm so glad you pulled the carpet up to reveal that gorgeous hardwood floor. Congratulations.

[@nospin1394]

[@shirleyharold1698]

Wow, your chateau looks great. You have all done a wonderful job…the hard work paid off ….just beautiful

[@tarnr5713]

Honestly, after binge watching from the beginning to here, I have never been more in love. What a wonderful place to live and what a wonderful job you all did, in such a short space of time. I can't wait to watch the remaining videos and bring myself up to where you are now!

[@p_embo]

The newly decorated rooms look gorgeous 😍

[@lorimcclaskey5179]

Your chateau is glorious and all your special touches were just the cherries on top. I can only imagine how fun all the events you will host will be. I am a huge fan of event planning and hosting. I have done it on many levels for years and it was always fun in the end.

[@anamaria2053]

This video was long awaited and I watched it twice. I think your quickie bathroom remodels were brilliant and y’all have become expert brocante shoppers par excellent! I’d love to attend a retreat at Chateau Puy Vidal. It’s beautiful, a good length of time and in a comfortable and yummy setting. You all have worked so hard and harmoniously. The only input I have is to post more frequently, perhaps shorter videos. As much as I enjoy the lengthy videos I miss hearing from you. 💕💕💕

[@rosalindhambleton9012]

Bonjour mes chéries. You are wonder women, ladies ! You worked so hard, endless hours, so much effort and determination and much more to bring this château and the dream you had for it to life.

[@jacqulynsmither8770]

Great job! I got tired looking at all the work. You have proved that you all were made for this. Now you can take your time and fine tune the experience you want for your guest and yourself.

Wowowow!!! 😂❤ beautiful work and wonderful videography. Music choice is so cinematique! Brilliant editing and storytelling narration. You guys should bring this series to Netflix or something! Jeez, I couldn’t stop watching it. Bravo!!! 🎉

[@luluandmeow]

I loved the abstract tile pattern in the blue 70s bathroom, and the blue tiles in the kitchenette, real vintage, you may regret painting over them lol.

[@silversprings12]

I really like this channel! Please keep the videos coming. I enjoy your shopping and all the DIY episodes.

[@Sushi2735]

Sorry you can’t keep Ben till the workshop. What a nice young man and such a hard worker!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Yea! That hallway carpet! So glad you yanked it up! Even makes the paint and wallpaper look better!! SO MUCH BETTER, leave the hall for later! With the fresh new floor, the rest is just soft and works! It’s crazy???

[@judithclark2823]

I am so impressed with the amount of work you accomplished before your first workshop!! Just incredible and the video shots of everything looks magical. Just magical and welcoming and so professional. Well done!

[@nancibishof6462]

[@christineh5790]

The beauty of the Chateau is stupendous Julia and yet you all managed to add more gorgeousness to it! What a labour of love with such elegance, warmth and comfort oozing from every room. It was so amazing getting so much done in such a short time and now you can rest on your laurels for a while. Now you can all enjoy the beautiful surroundings.👏👌🏰💖

[@stephaniesnape6787]

[@LA-jf1zn]

Well done! You have so many beautiful pieces, such a magical place! The hallway looks fantastic, the floors are something. It made the blue look beautiful. 🦋

[@pamorama]

This is one of my favorite videos I’ve seen of yours so far. You should be so proud of yourselves, it seems like your workshop was an incredible experience. The château looked amazing. I think one of the things that impresses me is how invested you are in the experience. Your guests are going to have. I always always wanted to go visit LaLande, but now Puy Vidal is my aspirational chateau visit!!

[@valeriewillimann9050]

Wow amazing transformation 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼🥂🍾✨💖✨ Huge accomplishment 🎉and wonderful video to watch ❤

[@CuriousCalligrapher]

Amazing job on preparing the Chateau for your painting retreat!!! The white and gold bathroom looked AMAZING after you painted, I could never have figured out how to make it look soooo much better with that paint color (?taupe). The hardwood was gorgeous and worth all the work-the hall way looked amazing! You achieved your goal! Yeah!🎉❤😊

[@murielwilson809]

Congratulations on your first work shop and ladies you have done a excellent job of renovating and refurbishment of the bedrooms and the hall way looks so great with out the carpet bravo to you all ❤️

[@fredbear72ify]

Hard work and organisation is the key and you certainly know how to do that you accomplished so much it all looks beautiful. Thank you for a fabulous vlogs.

[@sharoncherry]

The springs could be taken apart from the box springs and sold online or used in other decor. The clue to have matching socks is to safety pin the pair together before washing. I went to a party that had a set down dinner and the hostess used a different place setting for each guest and used a chandelier as a center piece draped in leaves (you could use plastic) and candles where the light bulbs went. The hostess collected China as her hobby. Just an idea for the future. Here's a tidbit I use when cleaning a toilet, just use bleach, letting it set for an hour or two before finally using the toilet brush. You ladies and gentlemen has done wonders in a short amount of time, and you should be so proud of yourselves..

[@rhondadean5455]

I cannot believe how much you did in such a short and difficult time. That was amazing. Good job girls. Wow. Dad must be proud. You were hilarious on the stairs. I love how you always make us laugh. But. It was sad when Penelope left. Troubadour seemed like she didn't want her to go. Penelope had put so much hard work into the chateau. Not fair she missed out. Thankful your workshop went so well. What pretty dishes you all got and the meals looked great. Love candlelight dinners. You spoiled your guest. T.y. for this video.

[@diankadesigns]

hurray:-)congratulations on weaving all the minutiae into a wonderful welcoming "home"! what an unforgettable experience for the first class of students...all the best
