A SURPRISE Mini Make-over of the Marquis Kitchen! 😍

[@lorassorkin]

Hallelujah!!!! The kitchen cupboard is getting painted! Yay Marie!

[@sharronr]

I started watching when it was just Isobel and Stephanie were there alone in the freezing winter. It is so nice to see the chateau full of friends and family.

[@TheDR411]

As so many of us.

[@kathyevans2968]

Me too!

[@raffaellavitiello1762]

I was too

[@bevmc5061]

Still cold in winter, the lack of adequate heating is ridiculous.

[@Sharon-c3q2t]

I seldom offer any comments, so here go's. I think Phillip looked very cute in his overalls, which is what we call them in the States. Marie, I LOVE your hair. It's a very elegant look. Love you all. Been with you from the start. You got me thru a really horrible time. Thanks Stephanie. ❤🇺🇲

[@GGOAT2019]

I love all of you but the Scotsman has a special joie de vivre that really perks up every video he's in.

[@stellagibrill-uc1eh]

WHO IN THE WORLD IS THIS CHRIS?????? Lord knows we love him. His great smile with sweet and cheerful spirit! Is he related to our dear beautiful Kirsty? Inquiring minds want to know. Please do tell. Great show today. Yes, ANALISE IS A BEAUTIFUL NATURAL WOMAN. We love her too!

[@teepeeX]

Phillip, I'm so glad you wear what you want, too. Nobody should tell another how to dress. You be you 😊

[@paulainsc8212]

I adore sweet Molly. Precious pup

[@lfm6269]

One video you will have to show us Galahad’s closet of clothes, all his beds in all rooms, and his treasure chests of toys! He truly is adorable and loved by all!

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Jerry, vs hand pulling the grass, you can make an organic solution, 1 gallon white vinegar, a tablespoon of dish soap,plus 1 cup of salt. Mix well until the salt is absorbed. Then use a handheld pump sprayer to spray the weeds. Best time of a day to spray is early morning. The acid in the vinegar breaks down the leaf structure, the soap helps the the solution to adhere to the leaves & the salt acts to dehydrate the plant. No harmful chemicals, very easy to spray with a pump sprayer & really works

[@sadjaxx]

Thank you!

[@sparrowkay]

You laughed at the funny about the dog reaching his fav sweater. I had a poodle that loved his clothes, when I would take his fav tee off he would try and bite me, then he would jump in the laundry basket and dig it out … he lived to be 15 yrs old ☹️ he was my baby…

[@annemiekvandorp4457]

HALLELUJAH!! The cupboard doors will be painted! 🌺🌻🥀🌼🌹🌷

[@carolinegooder7091]

I thought they were waiting till the wood was repaired, but Marie is having fun. ❤

[@1968rhiannon]

Really need brass plates where it's rubbed down to the wood.

[@cliffhorman6846]

So much going on... Love it... Love Chris.. he is a champion. Loved your dress Stephanie.

[@ritawilkinson401]

Thank goodness you are going to paint the cupboard

[@jeanettenfreeland1408]

Hi Steph I watched a Egyptian doc from Curtis Ryan Woodside and realized that it was you who was one of the voice overs I was surprised that it was you. Good for you!!

[@valerieforsyth8278]

More of the same gravel would be nice around the chapel.

[@LaReynedEpee]

They intend adding paving, which should look rather nice

[@brandyboston9363]

I was a commercial painter for over 20 years. That cabinet was making me nuts. I get saving the old, but let's not get crazy. 😂 🎉 ❤

[@marcyrennee]

The boys are adorable!

[@jenniferrayhill2000]

Good to see a face with the name David.

[@marielvanhees9531]

Just to get straight to it. How old is the paint on the cupboard? Might it need testing for lead? If it tests positive there are primer paints out there that help cover lead paint before painting it with a new color. Do not sand the old paint if it's positive for lead. Take precautions please, and I'm excited for the new color!!

[@raffaellavitiello1762]

If it is the original paint , it will have lead for sure.

[@nancyhauge9500]

The paint in the hallway looks like sand and the beach!

[@sharongruener6078]

You and Philip look stunning for dinner. BLessings.

[@yvesgonin1958]

How on earth you can have the arrogance to show us such a wonderful dinner on such a beautiful table ? This is a torture... But you know what, it is such a pleasure to see the wonderful Lalande life. It is always so nice to see you all. XXX. Yves

[@janansberry6406]

Try melted marshmallows for the cob webs on the cake. I saw so else do it and they were pleased with the result. Enjoy the autumn season with friends and family.

[@kevinjewell233]

Prussian Blue is rich enough to mix into the kitchen and yet sophisticated enough to make a real statement for anyone who gets lost in the chateau and finds themselves by accident upsetting Marie hard at work....

[@TerryGoetz-js8ht]

Gotta say, Stephanie gets my backing on Phillip’s overalls.

[@debtheguest3109]

Loved the dress and the shoes Stephanie

[@justoneacre7873]

I love that shirt on Phillip. The colour really suits him.

[@debragonser745]

So excited about the kitchen! Been waiting a long time for this!

[@rayn8740]

David, what wine do you recommend with 5-year-olds? I have a 6-year-old grand niece, and I must admit that wine does seem to make the time go faster. Last week, she wanted me to play with her Barbies. Now, that was really pushing the boundaries of familial obligations. Eventually, I was able to distract her by reading Puss-n-Boots. She just kept saying so seriously, "Uncle Ray, the cat is lying." It was actually pretty cute, and no alcohol or children were abused in the process. Your shoes remind me of opera pumps designed by Salvatore Ferragamo that were covered entirely in Swarovski crystals. They were striking, too. I hope you've had an enjoyable time at Lalande. Thank you most sincerely for your generous support of the Château. I have derived many hours of enjoyment watching Stephanie and her antics. I must confess, I'm hooked. ❤ from TX!

[@enosyodermattieyoder4298]

Always so refreshing and fun to watch 🎉. Thank you for sharing your beautiful chateau.

[@diamondslashranch]

It’s been so nice to get to see David finally and he’s just as lovely as I thought he would be.

[@ccoeurjoli]

Cette table de dîner automnale est splendide et votre couple, Stéphanie et Philip, vous êtes si bien coordonnés ! 🤩 l’élégance simple ! Gerry est adorable ! J’ai souvent l’impression de voir un petit garçon s’amuser de tout, le voir dans la cour en train de désherber 😮 … pour qu’Isabelle ne le fasse pas 😂 ! Adorable ! Natty était ravissante le matin avec cette tenue 😮 Merci de partager toutes ces tranches de Vie de LaLande 🥰 À bientôt ! 🌸🌸🌸

[@Marykguise]

I too, love it when the chateau is full of people. Sad to see that the guest season is over, but it just means the holiday season is around the corner!! Love from Mary in Southern California 💗

[@VivPhotography]

Philip's blazer! Holy smokes!! It's a 10/10 🤌

[@nicarazzi]

What a great range of colours for the pantry. I love the bright blue on the far right, it’s so happy for a jovial kitchen. It will be interesting to see what you pick. Bet there’ll be much debate among y’all in person.

[@jezabel1960]

I like Philip's dungeries 😊

[@kels2693]

Please let Marie pick the colors. She spends most time in there. Philip, I think you look great.

[@snoopybluejeans]

I agree.

I love Phillip's overalls, that's what we call them in the Southern USA.

[@JW-kh9bm]

And in the Middle West.

[@christikapa3856]

And in the Northern states also. Phillip looks good in them.

[@ZelayasCrap]

I’m from Florida and call them jumpers or a jumpsuit

[@joanneash3305]

And in Canada too. Overalls.

[@gwyn192]

Farmer jeans or overalls in upstate NY

[@yvonnelast2550]

Good to see the plans for painting the doors in the kitchen.

[@1968rhiannon]

It's not going to do much good if they don't put brass plates where their hands have worn down to the wood. Hope that's in the plans too.

[@susanmetzelar549]

I received my card on Tuesday from Paris. I don't plan to open the envelope till December to enjoy a little Chateau here in California, USA... BIG FAN... SUSAN

[@andreacatzel8259]

Love the dungarees, Philip! Perfect pouch for Galahad. Cuties…. Both of you! Great that the kitchen cupboard is being freshened up! Hallelujah indeed! The dinners look divine, Marie! You’re a treasure! Love to you all ❤

Philip, I am so glad that you ended up buying that green shirt when you were visiting Stephanie's aunt and uncle in the south of France. It is is so handsome. Also I know this is a random question but is Ruby ok? He hasn't been seen for a while.

[@sindysimms4001]

We are all happy about the kitchen cupboard being painted. However, now that you have explained it, I get it.

[@rochellezimmerbishop4681]

I love the overalls, Phillip!

[@Cindy-hc9qr]

The coveralls Philip. I have no words.

[@r.h.4567]

The sink cabinet might look good painted to match the big cabinet.

[@Jennifer-1717]

I believe you could use melted marshmallow and you kind of drizzle it or pull it apart and it will give you a cobweb effect

[@wendyrobinson2281]

I started watching Stephanie , when it was just her and Isabella, she made Stephanie tea and took it up to her in bed xx ❤

[@jf1a8x1]

Let Phillip love the dungarees! Bib overalls are proudly worn by manly men everywhere here in the states!

[@AngelaMottee]

Indeed! I’d love to see a little less soft hazing of Phillip. I know im sensitive and possibly seeing something that’s not there. I feel all the negative comments and jokes and his expense are crushing him ever so slowly. Is it a class thing? An English thing or just plain ego?

[@raffaellavitiello1762]

My wonderful Papa that l miss so much spent half of is life "en salopettes ". So to see Philip wearing them made me very happy. It realy does not matter what he wear, he is such a lovely human being. Love Natti. She has the most somptueux looking hair. SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL , WE DONT SEE HER as much, SO HAPPY when we see her and hear her speak.

[@francer1793]

Love you guys ❤❤❤

[@lindadority1056]

Overalls should never be skin tight lol

[@robinharrison4866]

If Phillip objects to flannel night gowns, doesn’t that give you liberty to limit dungarees? (I’m from Texas and we call them overalls. He looks like a stylish dairy farmer.)

[@yeseniafroml.a.8020]

Happy Halloween ♥

[@janetg1691]

Stephanie looks amazing for dinner and does Phillip, once he changed. Ha ha farmer john look is fine for gardening or hauling animal waste, ha ha. Marie is wonderful.

[@PainReaverX2]

Oh, Phillip looks great even if he wears paper napkins. And he’s Dutch. Wearing overalls is in his blood! Just the pullover doesn’t match. One of my best friend’s, she’s almost full Dutch. She used to wear overalls all the time growing up.

[@cathyjoc]

Use the spun sugar Daniel showed you all a bit back. Perfect cobwebs. And nummy too

I love how proud Phillip is of his Dungarees!

[@vikkibryan2562]

Love to see all the changes! X

[@delorisjones7729]

yes for the cupboard. Tell Phillip he would look nicer in the overhauls with his beard tidy up, with love of course.

[@3_3645]

Can you use the room you were going to use for the dish room into a proper coat and boot room? Leave the hall empty apart from wall decor. No clutter, better for a fire escape route.

[@nelks1284]

Love the meat plates!

[@attract1234]

Yes totally agree, with you Philips dungarees, ridiculous looking, he reminds me of a child's show once on TV called Andy Pandy. Get them off.😂

please cut Galahads nails, or let the vet do it, they are to long, he is unconfortable and he could get deformed feed walking on them...

Galahad is so funny peeping out of the dungarees 😄

[@judithschrim145]

&&& SUGGESTION: GET A "GLASS/PLASTIC/????" HAND PROTECTOR FOR THE CUPBOARD DOORS AFTER THEY ARE PAINTED. IT WILL PROTECT THE PAINT AND ALSO EASY TO CLEAN.......I'M CERTAIN THEY CAN BE GOTTEN IN YOUR HARDWARE STORE....OR AMORY COULD make two out of "plexiglass" also gotten at a hardware supply store....

[@LaReynedEpee]

Not to the same extent as other places. It's not really a tradition in France, has been imported to a degree. French Catholics have more of a focus on Toussaint, All Saints' Day.
