Never be embarrass to show your home. Before and during your renovation project. What a treat to be able to enjoy each step you guys take.

[@traceykusser368]

😂You two crack me up! I don’t know how you don’t have your own renovation series on tv. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and I’m always happy to see you pop up on my feed. ❤️

[@tracey4474]

Me too - my fav line today was crocs in sport mode 😂

[@joannecalcutt6724]

That sports mode on the crocs could also be called outdoor maintenance mode and handyman mode. Who don’t love a good pair of crocs. 😂

[@cathylehwald4547]

Haha, crocs in sport mode😂😂😂

[@SuzanneBaruch]

Please don't be embarrassed showing us your bedroom suite. That's one reason why I love this channel so much -- you two are *real* and don't hide your challenges. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the suite, and I'm sure it's going to be amazing!

[@joannecalcutt6724]

I love your channel and appreciate that you are willing to show how things actually are before the are redone. Also that y’all don’t take things too seriously. Life is short. Great job.

[@ginaroberts2964]

I totally giggled when Lincoln was swinging with his Crog wearing feet dangling in the air....it just struck me as so funny! It will be nice to have your Master done - it will finally be your sanctuary from all the work going on in the Chateau.

[@Sushi2735]

You are a hoot! What an awesome husband you have! He cleans! WOW! I can’t believe it! What I would have given for a husband with a 409 bottle and rag! 😅😅😅😅😅 I pile clothes behind the bedroom door! 😖😖😖one of the dogs sleeps in front of the closet door and I hate to disturb her. Love the windows, light and view from your bedroom. Beautiful! It is going to be so lovely when you are done! The park with all the trees is breathtaking! It is such a stunning property. So worth all the hard work. I’m with Lincoln as far as ladders go! Yikes you are a brave soul. Time to find a Cherry Picker. So so dangerous. And you can use it to trim your fruit trees! I’d love one myself. One last thing, you take such loving care of all your animals. I so admire that! Have you had a chance to trap anymore kitties??? All the best!

[@anneedge3627]

Gosh, I love you guys. The work you have done is absolutely amazing. I really loved Lincoln’s advert for the online language training app. It was pretty hilarious. I know how difficult it is to learn a second language, I am an English speaking Canadian, but I busted my butt to learn French. I was lucky to start learning a second language from an early age. My parents were not French Canadians, but they and I chose for me to stay in French courses and it has really helped me along the way way, in my life and career. It’s hard if you don’t live in the culture to learn a second language, but now you are in France and you will have to do it. Vive la Bretagne.

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

You are both so much fun to watch. Your bedroom is going to be quite a transformation. I love the way you did your office so the bedroom is going to be your retreat from the constant jobs and responsibilities of your day. Room by room, your chateau is becoming so beautiful. Love it all. stay safe, especially climbing the ladder. xx

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@tenajones2841]

I’m having a blast catching up to your fabulous channel. Chateaus, rescue animals, CATS, your great personalities and the slick music is the best. ❤ oh and of course the Reno projects are amazing! Your skills and taste are simply perfect. 😊

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Love seeing the before and after pictures. The animals are so lucky 🍀 to have you as their servants 😻😹🫏🐶😍😘

[@restlesssoul5853]

It was nice to see unseen before rooms of the chateau. I loved the spiral staircase and those rooms with nice big windows for a very good daylight. Thanks for sharing! PS! Berret rules! I have couple of them...need to buy baguette more often 🤣

[@MikeyPatrick]

The Coolest 2 characters on KZbin! It’s a pleasure watching y’all enjoy life. 15:09

[@ehayes7849]

Amanda - your music choices cheer me and bring back so many memories - a little classical, a little Brubeck, a little soft rock and many other interesting pieces. Will replay your videos so I can just listen to the music. Other than the kitchen, how many more rooms in the chateau are going to need your attention? You two have accomplished so much and I thank you for sharing.

[@lisakilmer2667]

I think it's really interesting that your home has a 2-storey apartment, similar to Chateau de Colombe (Journey to the Chateau channel). I have a couple of tips: we tacked plain white sheets over unsightly walls for a few weeks, when we removed all the kitchen cabinets, until we could get to them to replaster and paint. Another tip: I put a peg rack inside each side of my tiny closet to hold clothes I would otherwise lay on top of a bookcase. They are set at a steep angle (about 60 degrees), touching the door frame at one end, and almost touching the hangers at the other end. It's a big help (though I still throw things into the floor of the closet). Your vlogs are charming, BTW.

[@LaPrincessa1947]

Amanda, you pile things on surface tops; I use the chair in bedroom. Oh, I remember when Lincoln first put up those swinging macrame chairs...I laughed hysterically and that's when I subscribed to your channel. You're my kind of people...wish I was your neighbor! Hope I'm not too old to watch your completed bedroom suite when you reveal it (I'm 75)! LOL. So enjoy the two of you!

[@nataliek6514]

I happen to stumble upon your channel one night while watching my other chateau subscribed channels. Your episode happens to play right after my original selection. Your episodes are so addicting! I have been catching up, even while I’m at the office working (shhhh!)😊 Why hasn’t KZbin popped your channel out there to other chateau addicts like myself on the homepage feeds? You guys are so worth watching. Keep going! Also beautiful home. ❤

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Happy you found us! Thanks for the nice words :)

[@lindabaker2905]

I love your sense of humour, it makes me chuckle!

[@janeblandford852]

I agree, never feel embarrassed to show a space that you will be working on. You have done so much up to now and have done everything so well. Just think of all the knowledge you have learned up to this point an how much easier this room will be for you to do. This is now your space to enjoy and make your very own....looking forward to it!! The spaces are amazing....very excited for you! Your grounds are so beautiful!!

[@jackiew3146]

The château is looking good. I’m sure that you will get it done before you’re 66. OK regarding the Virginia creeper. I live in North Carolina and we consider it an invasive weed. I spend a lot of time pulling it up and off of my privacy fence from where it comes over from the neighbor’s yard.

[@ludovica8221]

I agree.. it's terrible for gutters and roof tiles

[@danielleshepherd5678]

Hi there! I have been watching you guys for a while on my husbands account, so I have never commented until now. I really adore your channel and I look forward to your new videos. Your sense of humour and lighthearted content is wonderful. I am super jealous of your house and property. I have been daydreaming of a life just like that, the space and beauty and the appreciation for the past. You are doing a beautiful job fixing it up. I have a very similar deco style and love every bit . I appreciate the truth. No fluff. I am also a big animal lover as well, and love to know there are more kind hearted people out there caring for them too. Thank you for sharing bits of your life with us! ✌❤ from 🇨🇦

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thanks so much, we appreciate it :)

[@labncroft]

I love your channel; your honest humor of daily living...including struggles makes me take stock in my chaotic life. Thanks for the weekly escape .

[@meri8746]

That is going to be one awesome bathroom! Can’t wait! Great view from Master! ❤ Dialogue is done so well! 😂❤

[@ginniwells6328]

The two of you are a delight to watch. Enjoy all the animals and the care given to them.

[@candyphillips2642]

Love your office! Your bedroom & bath will be wonderful! Can't wait! Love the kitties, dogs & donkeys!

[@tamithirion7766]

Your master bedroom will be lovely... No doubt, you do need a sanctuary to be able to retreat to. Curious, the barn kitty you were able to trap and have neutered. Have you seen him since? You are so compassionate in regards to your pets, they are living there best lives 😺💜🙏👍

[@anitaatwell8287]

Your rooms are so exciting because I know what a fab job you'll do!

[@gloriasmestad3803]

Interesting that you want your closet a floor above. With the lovely spiral staircase in place, that is certainly an option. Are you thinking of creating an elegant dressing area? The chateau might like that!

[@elizabethheatley22]

You’re right Amanda! When renovating, if you have a bedroom sanctuary to escape to it makes the shambles you live in elsewhere more palatable. That and a good kitchen!

[@jdrew5367]

Amanda and Lincoln I know you’re a result of your master bedroom is going to be beautiful just gonna take time before the both of you get there it’ll be modern Corky with a bit of old world charm. Thank you for your time and effort you both put in to these videos.

[@kathyeyesopen4078]

I love the creeper ivy. I think it adds beauty & character to your lovely chateau.

[@lesserpoo]

Good night!!! That wall in the corner of your room would give me nightmares! 😂😂😂 It’s a scary black, chaotic wall. Good on you for sleeping in there all this time! I’m happy for you to have reached this stage of renovation so you can have sweet dreams in a beautiful bedroom! Ha ha!! I just watched the rest of the video! You definitely had a better vision than me! Glass half full! Good for you!

[@lmgtulsa]

You guys have some incredible trees on your property! They look so healthy and lush. The cherry picker seems to be a must have for most château channels I watch. But it was always an item that came along later. Just watching you guys mess with that ladder made me anxious. 😁

[@ellebelle8515]

Even with all the hard work that you are constantly doing inside and outside, you two and your daughters definitely seem to be making the most of your journey; and it is so fun to share glimpses of it --the beautiful gardens with its produce, the cats, dogs, and donkeys who are so lovely and give that love right back. It is going to be fun to watch the transformation of that awesome bedroom suite with a spiral staircase. We all need to help you get a cherrypicker.

[@missglenellen]

THAT chair in the bedroom? The one full of clothes? Yes of course, I know it! I have it. As much as I try to get rid of the stacks of stuff: it doesn't seem to work...

[@suzieq2958]

Yes Amanda!! Always a chair in the bedroom full of clothing that doesn't quite need washing but can't go back in the cupboard, or that jumper you might need later 😀 Those pears looked delicious 😋 Our Virginia creeper is lovely till it clogs up the guttering just a shame it grows so darn quickly 😊

[@heatherutterback7352]

Wow the size of the windows and doors compared to you both standing are astonishing ❤

[@denicesmith5391]

Sooo excited to see more of the chateau! What a treat after a long freaking Monday at work. I always look forward to your videos!!! Lincoln on a ladder always makes me leery Thanks guys.

[@louiselewis5061]

I love your channel and especially your sense of humor. Your master suite will be so nice. I hate to be Debbie Downer and bear in mind this is coming from an old person-it will be great while you are young and healthy, but as you age, those steps to your closet could become difficult -beautiful stairway though. I feel certain you will have wardrobes and chests of drawers in the bedroom. Just a thought from an old person with bad knees. Have a great week.

[@mareeannehutchings945]

Crocs in sport mode 😂 nearly spat my coffee out 🤭

[@seachange17]

The donkeys get easier and easier to handle because you both are awesome to them! All animals respond to 'kind of' bossy but loving kindness ❤

[@deannayoung5311]

I did like this video very much I to have a beautiful antique chair With clothes hung over it lol 🤭 I very much adore your Chateau an The grounds are so beautiful 😍 Your donkeys are sweet 💕thank you for sharing them cats are a must when having a Chateau' they see an get the critters we don't see" My son had just commented about this to me the other day how as we carry on in our day an we don't notice nor see the spiders or crawling Thing's about us" but cats do" and I say... Thank goodness for that... 👍🥰 🐾🐾🐾🐈 and there's, The dog's who scare off the bigger intruders" so a Chateau has to have dog's 🐕🐶🐾🐾 Your home is beautiful 🥰💐 it's just taking One day at a time for the things to do on your list' to check.✔off My biggest pain is painting 😖 I'm so beyond word's not happy About having to do it... But it saves the money for other Things... I painted the front part of my home then the back...and the trim...mind I used the tall ladder" I used the highest step to finish the points above" thank goodness that's done! I hadn't finished the sides of my home yet but due to the heat I've carried on inside" I've started my tall wall's Then my volted ceiling" oh my goodness it's so not easy 😫 But one has to muster through" At least I tell myself this! 🤦‍♀️ lol

[@bethcervenka1813]

Remember to take the halters with you every time you take them treats so they get used to them. Once they are use to seeing them, try draping it on them etc til it’s no problem to put them on. Will be much easier when it’s time to lead them to a new pasture and see the farrier.

[@mgoldfield5821]

Your “commercials” for your sponsors are so stinking cute. Love this channel, please keep sharing!

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Glad you like them!

[@aimswanson1]

I really like your restoration videos. Your chateau is a little historic gem.

[@tiffanybrantley23]

I live for Lincoln and his baguette! And I love the Virginia creeper on the chateau as well.

[@Jana-wz7dr]

Your dogs are living a great life, all that freedom and space to roam. Especially your previous city dog! I enjoy your kits and donkeys and love seeing your walled garden. Show more of it please.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Will do :)

[@pattyt7776]

I’m sure your bedroom will be beautiful-the views are stunning! How many rooms do you have in your chateau? I like the look of a partially covered facade. Yay, donkeys! ❤️❤️

[@miriamharty5761]

The donkeys are so sweet and gentle. Also smart.

[@binalavery836]

The bedroom is always the first room I do in a house, because you need to wake up to beauty to get the day started! I'm very happy that you will be tackling it and can't wait to see it as you go! Hope you will have extra help? Love the animals always!!!

[@MariaReyes-te7lk]

The bedroom the first room to fix, but that's the reasons we have many flowers..is easy write and talk...but reality is what ever make you happy..that keep you motivated...and full of faith and entusiasm...Blessings, love blog

[@k.j.2481]

I thought when you said how bad the room was....I was still waiting to see the awful part.😊 Maybe Lincoln can put a "Raspberry Beret," on make a video by Prince. The views and likes would high #. Maybe the animals could be his back up singers.😊

[@frankbriley4706]

Your channel is becoming very professional.

[@nativetexson]

Before and after pics are always appreciated. The bedroom walls that are stripped of the wallpaper remind me of a Basquait painting. Cheers-

[@OurFrenchChateau]

😀

[@michellecbauer]

Now I love you two even more after discovering that, despite your myriad renovation and design talents, you are clothes pile people as well. I justify my piles of clothing on spare beds as just easier access to the things I need. Why disturb the drawers and linen closets? Thanks for another lovely video and good luck with the master suite. 😊

[@OurFrenchChateau]

🤣

[@bentekaizer1996]

I have Boston Ivy on the back of my house that needs trimming at least twice during the summer. It's a cousin to Virgina Creeper. I use a leaf rake to scrape down the ivy from the wall to where I can cut it. It's very satisfying scraping off large swaths of ivy using this method and a lot faster than picking away at it by hand. Leaf rake not garden rake. It's more flexible and lighter.

[@peterwhite9261]

Looks like you have a big reno on your master suite. I am sure it will be beautiful when it is done. I love seeing all of your animals. The Virginia creeper does look nice. I hope you can get a good second-hand cherry picker. Best wishes.❤

[@elenamoreno3831]

Me encanta vuestro canal !! Como decoráis como trabajáis y la vida de respeto a los animales!,❤❤un saludo desde Asturias España

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Gracias 😀

[@caroltoia7865]

I think you two are true soul mates, love the way one would start a conversation and the other will finish it.😊 Would appear nothing fazes you. Joy to watch❤

[@kevinjewell233]

In my family we did a spring and fall cleaning, my father would inevitably attack the junk drawer and not leave it alone until my mother and I were all done with the house...be grateful Lincoln is just shining the door handle for a few seconds and not all day!!!

[@observer1256]

Virginia Creeper is very tough to manage. It's invasive and you will constantly try to trim it. Recommend climbing white roses and clematis. Why white? You can see white flowering plants at night, and if you do accent lighting, it will look stunning.

[@SL-be8ws]

You two are adorable. You're like characters from a Wes Anderson film. I love it!! Also loved some of the visuals you tried out, 5:40-5:49. The more quirky with the visuals the more your individually shows through. I'm a filmmaker and I think you two should have your own show, problem is no one from the industry gets you but your audience does and you've proved that there is an audience for your kind of content...fun, quirky, authentic and relatable. They should just let you be you...Wes Anderson and all. Just discovered your content three days ago. Love it.☺

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thanks so much, this made us smile!

[@loulaevert-smith1728]

You two are sooo cute! You Madam.....has a wicked sense of humour.....well done on all the hard work....

[@uppityupshaw]

The master suite is an amazing space and is going to be stunning once completed! Thanks for sharing!

[@mollieanne]

Ah, the bedroom. Well you both will get it done swiftly I am sure once it gets started. Oh my gosh, the swing is like the Bob Newhart sofa lol.

[@lindamounts2193]

Love the kitties. Excited to see you renovate that space.

[@isobelkirk6602]

I love to hear you two laugh x

[@IPC0101]

I love the humour in your promotions

[@maryjimdale7031]

I love the comment about the bedroom chair. I have a theory that if I FOLD the clothes I put on the chair, it’s not a problem. When the pile of folded clothes falls over, it’s time to have a sort out.

[@Captain-KTS]

You mentioned a cherry picker, might wanna reach out to Carol & Adrian Cushing at Château de la Ferte (in Mayenne) They are selling the chateau & have one. Agreed the vines would look great growing up the walls! Cheers Kirk

[@purplerose4150]

I love your sense of humor

[@valw3212]

See if you can rent a cherry picker in the mean time. Donkeys are looking good now. I'm glad the donkeys have settled in to Chateau life. Can't wait to see progress on your "Master Suite". ♥

[@marcvb5780]

This is very early in the evening, normally its always after midnight you come with a video 😲👍

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Haha! I was organized today 🤪

[@gdbreon8300]

Love seeing your little black kitty settling in!

[@ddfromcalgary2348]

Oui, Lincoln, vous etes tres beau, mais votre epouse est tres jolie aussi!😄 (Please pardon the lack of accents, as I can't remember how to access them on my keyboard.) All the best as you renovate your primary suite. Despite the work involved, I am looking forward to seeing how it all progresses. Thanks for continuing to share your journey with us all!

[@audreetara]

love the "sport" mode

[@daynight4902]

BEST WISHES TO YOU

[@brendacooper8109]

The door that Lincoln's going to take out where does it go to I can't wait to see what you do to the room I hope we get to see every little bit you do I just love watching your your blogs you two are so great

[@erink4685]

100% I have a chair-clothes problem. It’s for transitional clothes that are not pristine clean but have only been worn once or twice and can still be worn a couple more times until I wash them😂 I’ve tried eliminating chairs in order to prevent the chair-clothes piling however it’s amazing how many things you can turn into a clothes pile, in lieu of a dedicated chair. You are not alone. Ps. I totally thought your bedroom wall looked like a Basquiat. You said last week that you wanted on!

[@susangladstone357]

Yes love the walls in your bedroom - large abstract paintings! - seriously wonderful

[@pattyrodgers3071]

I love your videos! Thank you so much for sharing❤️

[@heathermcrobert9779]

My chairs are always piled high!!!! Love your animals!!!! Are you still thinking of the black paint in one of your rooms. I keep seeing chateaus with the color in the room. It is possible!!!. Best.

[@elainejoyce3990]

Nice giggle at you both thanks

[@corricatt]

You two crack me up!! and I am SO not into putting clean clothes away, yep I pile!!! I don't mind grocery shopping, but I can't stand putting it all away!

[@sarahmiller5632]

Love your videos.🤗🇨🇦

[@jonimarchese7655]

Hi Amanda and Lincoln, I am looking forward to the new master bedroom makeover, the grounds look very nice, and it's always a good when we see the donkeys. Love from N.Y.

[@vivienneturner2028]

Check in with Chateau de la Fertè. They have a cherry picker they may sell, as they are selling up and moving back to England. 😊

[@maryb.7043]

I agree with your "Avant Guard art installation" as that is what I first thought!! LOL Still love the office reno you did. And absolutely cracked up with the swing portion. Thanks for your vid's.:)

[@cindygarrison6338]

Always enjoy your updates and humor! Lincoln. Why did you tear the wallpaper off?

[@colleenwilson9979]

I LOVE your channel so much! Your videos are always a joy to watch.

[@ritaderuysscher3535]

Another great video! Your sense of humour 😂 👍🏻 Crocs in « sports mode » 😆 and I gave Lincoln a 10 for that swing « dismount » 🥇 Bon courage with your bedroom reno. Sending the most positive reno vibes your way from from over the Pond 🇨🇦

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thanks 👍

[@ourfrenchabode]

Had to laugh - thank you! Memories of a renovation we did over 10 years ago ...and like Lincoln my hubby eagerly took up the carpet in the lounge/dining area... it wasn'r replaced for nearly 18 months and it was sooo ugly! Bon courage, love the vlogs xxx

[@OurFrenchChateau]

😂

[@naomimeyers84]

Thank you so much for another lovely video. I love your sense of humor and how you make everyday chores entertaining to watch.
