Celebrating our 5 Year Anniversary by Creating the Chateau's China Pantry!

[@MsGerryo]

Omg Stephanie being Isabel and Isabel being Gerry was the funniest thing I've seen for ages. Hilarious. Great fun guys ❤❤❤❤

[@Ambers_Team]

My favorite part 😂❤😂

[@GenaF]

Im watching with headphones on whilst in bed beside my hubby. I just disturbed him as i laughed out loud and have tears rolling down my face. Stephanie as Isabel is absolutely spot on and so funny once she gets into character too. Everyone looks great, but I'm unsure about Philip. I never know quite what to make of him. The lady meant to be Jarrod (sp?) looks just like him too. I'm not sure about the kitchen ladies, Marie and the moon faced one, I have never known her name and i don't know who she is trying to be.

THIS WAS THEEE BEST CELEBRATION I HAVE SEEN!!!

[@vladeckk21]

Awesome

[@mkv1783]

Until I saw Stephanie dressed as her mother, I had not realized how much she looks like her mother. It really is like looking into the future.

[@justsuzy-v3c]

Me too ... I had to look twice to realise! 🤣

[@ejt321]

My face hurt from smiling through this. The costumes were all so brilliant, even tiny "Dan the Gardener".

[@thedesken]

@ejt321 go back and watch Stephanie and Gerry in Egypt. It's hilarious. Plus, Stephanie does her thing with history. Wow 👌

[@Elwene2fr]

Amaury's "🙄......it's a cupboaaard" was so funny. The running gag with the naming of the things in this episode made me laugh so hard I actually cried.

[@hollykeller1545]

My favorite part was Stephanie as Isabelle carrying the cushions❣️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@mparker6823]

And all I could thing about was when Stephanie couldn't find those garden cushions once years ago because it turned out later that Mummy had stuffed them in the Bat Basement to help keep out a draft😂

“I’ll DO it MYSELF “. Perfect

[@kennethcrace6181]

Phillip tried to make it about himself I thought. Stephanie's portrayal of her beautiful mummy was my favorite. Happy 5th.

[@dianemccormick6669]

Perhaps Aumury could add wooden supports to the shelves in the cabinet for extra support so Isobel will not be so worried.

[@roselee4445]

They supported heavy books

[@dianemccormick6669]

@@roselee4445 Thought was just to help satisfy her Mother’s concerns. If shelf dropped on books, there would be very little damage. But, if shelf failed, and fell on crystal and china it could destroy so many irreplaceable pieces. A possible wooden support, stained to match the interior, in an inconspicuously placed area would give extra reassurance that the contents would be “more “ protected. Don’t we all want the best for the chateau? It would be heartbreaking to see lovely pieces broken and so we give our advice. We wish all the best and hope to visit Stephanie’s chateau one day even though a long trip from Chicago. Best wishes!!!!!

[@roselee4445]

@@dianemccormick6669 of course. I do understand. I have very old piece and afraid to put porcelain because afraid old glue gives way. I was just thinking that it looked like those sturdy shelves. Yes reinforced is better. Some absolutely lovely China and crystal

Among Stephanie’s numerous talents, her tremendous sense of humour comes first. This is why her vlog is so successful and unique. Thank You for entertaining us. Bravo, Stephanie, pour vos nombreux talents et plus particulièrement pour votre sens de l’humour. Très bon anniversaire aux Chateau Diaries et félicitations à la Team Lalande (Isabelle et Percy, Philip, etc.). Merci de nous divertir

[@bettysteward-anderson5647]

You should show all the times Marie said the china pantry should be closer to the dining room - I recall hearing it every time you mentioned putting it down the hall past the kitchen over the past 5 years!!!😂 So appropriate she’s back for this!!!!!

Pavlina as Jared....OHMYGAWD!! SUPERB!! Percy as Nic and Michael Potts, Mummy as Jerry...There are no words!! Stephanie, you did a fabulous mummy! Everyone was wonderfully dressed, such a fun vlog! Happy 5th birthday Chateau de Lalande! I'm happy to say I've been with you since the beginning!

5 years!!! Wow congratulations to everyone contributing to making it the chateau diaries it is today. As a viewer from end of 2019 start of 2020, when I followed Michael Petherick from his channel to yours, I can say with all of my heart you have brought so much joy, laughter and happiness. I’ve had many ups and downs through then but putting on your vlogs which always put a smile on my face helped me tremendously. I have watched every single one and even rewatched it from the beginning again when I was jonesing for the diaries. Thank you for bringing such light to every single viewers life even if it’s a brief moment. You’re beloved and I know we all can’t wait to see you again Sunday!!! Xoxo Happy Lalande day!

[@CynthiaBerry713]

I found her thru Dick and Angel's Escape to the Chateau DIY, along with Michael and Billy, Edd and Anna, Phil and Angelina, Philip and Anna, Marc and Amy, to name a few! What a wonderful chateau universe it is!

[@denonde1313]

Maria being Marie is absolutely hilarious. Dana being Stephanie is spot on. 😅 Natie and Stephanie playing the mothers might be a little bit of a Freudian nightmare fir Philip and Amery 😅 I wish Michael Petherick was there for the 5th Anniversary. Congratulations on your 5th year!

[@ericarogerslee7169]

As a follower from the beginning, this was EPIC. HAPPY 5 YEARS!! Thanks for bringing us just enough insanity to stay sane. Much love!! 💋💋

I love Phillip repeating mommy's comment, "Where are we going to put it?" In her accent. 😂❤

[@Gjjhnelson]

Hilarious 😂 So creative. What a wonderful idea and tribute to all the amazing personalities that have made the past five years so enjoyable for all your viewers. It was such a heartwarming surprise to see you add my crystal collection to the case. Thank you. It all began with two glasses given to me on my wedding day 40 years ago. In celebration of five years I’m happy to let you know I just became a Dauphine on Patreon. Wishing you all much happiness and a very successful next five years. Gloria

Love it Phillip I do the same with mine! I used antique bookcases not even sure what they where called I had a few and used each other them for glasses crystal decanters and the special plates and such. So I love it. Repurposing is the way to go now a days. It’s the cool thing to do. 😂 so your pantry bookcase is correct. I do hope the shelves hold. You can always make them stronger. And his organizing of it is making my ocd so happy 😂❤❤❤ also can we all just appreciate how happy he is in his element here. He so belongs in the chateau with Stephanie. Can we just appreciate that 😂. This is adorable. And I’m absolutely loving this. I love all the crystal and glasses that is just my thing right now so watching this is making me happy. Lol 😂

The true hero of the chateau diaries is your father Stephanie. His fountain really in many ways has become the symbol of this channel and your chateau. When I think of the chateau I always think of the front courtyard and most importantly the fountain!

[@lynnralph8373]

Such fun. My laughter woke the family!

[@lorassorkin]

Not to be a Debbie-downer, but as my parents HAD the same Waterford, I am recalling how it all disastrously came tumbling down and caused an extensive injury. It was all displayed on shelves in a cabinet, and one day as my mother was loading it, a shelf came loose, crashing down on the others below. Nearly all the Waterford was smashed , but more importantly is cut her feet so badly it required an emergency room trip for sutures. The glass cut tendons in her toes, which still bother her some 20+ years later. Please do make sure the shelf clips are sturdy and secure. They are easy to source if you need new ones, some come with a screw to secure each side. The cupboard does look lovely there!

[@TheChateauDiaries]

That's horrific, your poor mother!!! Thanks for the warning, we'll double check the shelves!

Congratulations Stephanie on your big Five years of The Château Diaries being on KZbin. That glass cupboard is gorgeous with all the Chrystal and bits of pottery. I love Philips joy in putting it all together and Isabel enjoying the process … just gorgeous! The transformation driving into the courtyard from years ago is amazing and so grand in my opinion. Davey did well in this design for the château. The walled garden, the forest, the gardens around the chapels, unbelievable and all the helpers along the way have been wonderful in what they did. Pizza party with champagne sounds perfect to me. The peacocks are glorious. Your dressing up as others just cracked me up… I laughed till I cried… what Percy wrote was Spot On! Again my eyes teared up. You’re all class acts that have brought so much Joy and Laughter to so many of us! A Big Thank You from my heart here in Northern California, USA. Love you all.❤❤❤
