Château de la Grifferaie: S5, E7: "3.8m Walk in Closet"

For our midweek video we show the complete two day renovation of the master bedroom walk in closet. Since Rob and Leslie live at the chateau full time now, it was time to build a proper closet. Also some roast beef, herbs, and a discussion on an idea for "Junior College Abroad".

Closet is beautiful. You and Leslie are so talented and I’m amazed at all that you were able to do. I know God continues to bless you and I pray for your protection and blessings.

Your wild plant is a shining cranesbill. Look for tall stems with a small red flower in spring. It is a plant of the genus Geranium. It doesn't have stingers 💚

[@labellevie...canadianfamil7517]

Leslie...you should do a Le Grifferaie Cookbook...with your favourite, France-inspired recipes that you prepare for yourselves and for the groups of students you host. I bet lots would buy an e-cookbook. Just some "food for thought" (pun intended ;) )

Wonderful idea about Junior College Abroad. Simply wonderful! Being in another country , perhaps learning the language! My niece did her Jr. and Sr. In Paris. She was blessed to just be loved and absorbed in a family with four children. The eldest did his Jr. and Sr, year high school in Iceland, of all places. So she stayed with the same family. Education you get abroad changes your life forever!!! Everything in your world opens up and makes all thing possible!! She graduates this Spring from Kings College. Oh yes completely fluent in French 😅 Anything you do to educate, to teach, to expand young minds is amazing. I say go for it!!!!😊😅

[@KatyThompsonHaley]

Enjoying your videos! Thanks for sharing the day-to-day of chateau living with us! As Peter spoke, “silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, give I unto thee”. Praying Blessings on your new ventures! ❤

[@Sushi2735]

That van is a wonderful investment in too many ways to even list! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 PS WEAR GLOVES IN THE. GARDEN, please 🎉

[@marthaizaguirre6363]

Closet looks great! Jr College abroad is a great idea!😊

[@janetvorenkamp3655]

Great to see this project come together. You both deserve it. Great use of space. to use space underneath, you could use cookie sheets or some kind of tray to store shoes and pull out as needed. You could glue baseboard front with knob to make pull out easier. Good for off season shoes, slippers, flip flops. And great above the closet storage for off season bedding, luggage, etc. Hurray!

[@debbierudolph9489]

Love the 2 videos a week and the shorter videos 😊

[@Francis-kw9ui]

white kitchen looks good

[@deirdrecerasa3932]

The van is great looking and your IKEA closet looks good. ❤

[@normamurray4450]

I love your idea for college kids....so inviting as well as exciting! It's evident that God is working with you lovely folks and this puts a smile on my face. Oh that Roast dinner Leslie...Yum is right!!!

[@carladejonge4951]

Nice job on the closet! Looks professional! Your daughter has a beautiful voice! God bless you all!

[@jerrielindsey5939]

The University in our city has adult education classes that attract a lot of retirees. I think many folks at that end of age spectrum would have the time and some finances to be able to devote to in-depth study.

[@lizmasi9918]

I really like your idea about studying abroad. Hope it works. Almost would enjoy an adult/senior group there.

[@Mej_Javiky]

I Like the study abroad idea.I have a young nephew who will be collage age in a few years. I am encouraging his parents to look into what you offer. I am so impressed with you both for what you are doing.

[@dianefrazier7789]

You should put a ceiling medallion around the Chandelier then you could get fancier handles and French it up!

[@okienana11]

Great closet! Love the idea of junior college abroad.

[@heathercross8430]

The plant by your rose looks like native geranium, I plant them under my roses to cover the ground, so I don't have so much weeding to do

[@susanamann1806]

Good idea about Jr college

[@terrysuemakesvideosforyou9940]

Such a nice look into your week! My niece spent some time in France in Collage. It was in a small town with a host family. The next year my Sisters family all went back for a vacation and they visited the host family. Now my niece is finishing her Masters in Ireland. So many great things to do for our young people. All of it was in the budget for her education. Please have a great week ahead!

[@tshockmom69]

Suggestion. Go up to the ceiling in the closet! Put off season clothing up there. I keep a step ladder in my closet and utilize the space at the top.

[@carladejonge4951]

I agree about going up in the closet! The more storage, the better!

[@jerridavis6462]

Awesome closets! Enjoyed from Texas!

[@catherinemathias3456]

Love your commitment to teaching young people about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Praying for you both that God will direct you where He needs you to go!!!❤❤❤❤

[@cathyroberts7032]

Thanks for a mid-week video.

[@rachelbooth4117]

you could hang a mirror opposite the window and reflect back some light too

[@Larose0302]

That plant maybe perennial geranium?

[@The_Travelling_Jonoberries]

Rob & Lesley great to see you all again and the numerous projects you have on the go, the walk in robes where fantastic the van was fabulous and will be a very useful asset with your fantastic program. Lesley what was the roast you were cooking, it look like it was being braised? We love what you do and how you do it, thank you once again for allowing us to be part of your magic journey 🇫🇷🙏👍😇🏰

[@ChristineKelly1000]

Leslie, there is a plant identifier app you can use for your garden.😊 You are killed for choice with the drawer hardware.

[@acadacad1]

Your boxwood looks like it is doing very well.

[@Ldyrev1]

Your wife is amazing! My opinion...I'd clean the walls, strip the wallpaper, patch holes, fresh paint, clean the petite chandelier then add the shelving. It would really be "finished" that way. Yes it would take more than one day but you wouldn't need to go back and refinish it. Just my OP.

[@suehall3298]

Your meal looked yummy 😋 The walk in wardrobe looking Impressive 👍🤗 Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤

[@vlink4071]

That plant is a Doves foot cranesbill, a type of hardy geranium, according to my app, Picture This.

[@Ron_Robertson]

I do love seeing and hearing the pheasants! Wish I could help on that plant that smells like Cilantro. The foliage looks like a type of true geranium (not what is commonly called geranium, grown in pots, which is properly called pelargonium, but at least it is a relative of geranium), and some things in that family have some really strong smells. Like the one called Herb Robert. So, possibly it is a species of wild geranium. If the leaves are fleshy, then probably it's a cousin to ranunculus, that's the other thing it makes me think of.

[@southloupriverhomestead4696]

Thanks for the video!

[@j.cooper5678]

Geranium molle, the dove's-foot crane's-bill[1] or dovesfoot geranium,[2] is an annual herbaceous plant of the family Geraniaceae.

[@marilizevandermerwe8343]

I've got a question about that variety of geranium. Do you know if it is medicinal/herb geranium? Is it nice smelling?

[@aprillanders8018]

Another great episode I enjoyed!!! Lots of love from Tennessee

[@lindabaker2905]

What a great idea!

[@Amyhildebrand]

Ooo outed with the rough live stream. 😂 Thanks for the support though pops.

[@bobimt77]

Great job on the closet!

[@marysutherland8570]

I'm wondering if your plant by the rose is Glechoma Hederacea Stock? Looking through, and thought it looked similar. The closet is amazing with so much more usable space! The roast and veggie dinner made my mouth water! So thankful the Lord blessed you with that wonderful van, already filling everyday needs! The sunsets, the woods, the pheasants, what a beautiful place! Love and greetings from WallaWalla!

[@lindamounts2193]

Your videos are much more interesting now that you're in France full time.

[@JohnSeefeldt]

We call that wild geranium and I actually planted that in my flower beds. I have two different colors white and pink.

[@tory5325]

Perennial geranium/cranesbill

[@JohnSeefeldt]

Thank you 🙂@@tory5325

[@user-nz3wv1cl5y]

I hope you don’t mind but the plant under hibiscus isn’t ivy on hibiscus trunk yes but on ground i think it maybe an arum which is a woodland ground cover. Loving the videos

[@CarolLoch-ww7po]

Amazing xxxx

[@kathyhembyhewett6109]

Hey guys. It’s so wonderful to follow your journey. I’m sure that the Lord will take you forward so no need to worry about expanding so big. God is able! 😊 we’ve already witnessed it in your journey. My worry ( yep I worry too Rob) is how to get income coming year round. You can’t have guests when it’s cold. But it would be a good time to maybe offer some little classes on things like different prophets, the judges, and whatever you’re inspired to teach. And it would be so nice to look forward to a study in whatever Rob wants. Wherever the Lord leads. I don’t know where it leads but I’d enjoy it. Maybe charge a small amount or do it through patreons or something. But first, get that electric bill under control. That’s a very important. Things are really looking great inside the Chateau and the roof is amazing. 😮 enjoy it all. ❤

[@derrihanson9876]

I still believe you should put in pull-down clothing storage up there

[@lampholder1]

St Charles MO here

[@KeithWiggins-xc1sf]

Rob u need a shower dome on that shower it stop the steam from going up the walls . Google shower dome we have them they great . Easy to put up too .

[@chateaudelagrifferaie953]

You are so right.....

[@judysoubry5146]

Go to brocante to find handles ~ recycled !

[@user-nz3wv1cl5y]

Further to previous a lamium as arum appear later in year it defo needs identification though !

[@audreyatherton3373]

Your shoes will get lost under there. Looks good though, on camera the closet looks small

[@debpate9405]

Great education ideas, I'm retired, 70, do you think I could get a Pell Grant and visit France for a year? 😂 A girl can dream, right?

[@louisephipps9407]

Would you consider a junior style college, allowing young adults eg 18 plus, the opportunity to be introduced to mainland Europe/travel/youth activities within a safe environment such as yours, enabling them to gain independence, meeting others, but possibly not focused on the religious beliefs (I understand thats key to you) but for others possibly not.

[@kelliehille3550]

dose the fire places work so you can get worm

[@rachelbooth4117]

Fat makes the roast more tender - its good to cook with the meat.

[@rachelbooth4117]

although to be fair not sure it works for a pot roast - more a dry roast which for beef is fairly rapid most joints its around an hr for pink although that is a big one

[@user-yf4bs2bw6z]

It looks like geranium to get pink and blue and spreads all over

[@darlenegreen5171]

👍

[@renatadennis777]

Did you say $800? I think that's expensive.
