It’s amazing to see this recap…you have really transformed this beautiful old building all by yourselves. What an accomplishment.

Thank you!

[@klaus-volkermeiswinkel3724]

The craftsmanship, perseverance and tenacity are admirable.

Thank you!

[@lindawhite5006]

What an amazing transformation in one year! Thank you for taking your time and sharing with us. 🇺🇸

[@jlebo001]

Because I have obsessively watched EVERY video you've posted, I didn't expect to enjoy the annual time lapse as much as I did. It is MINDBOGGLING the amount of work you two have done, cheerfully, creatively, lovingly and unendingly. I was riveted every moment of this video. Wonderful work. Excellent edit choices, Beth. BRAVO!!!!!!!! Here's hoping the whole family has a wonderful holiday season. Thank you for all the education and entertainment you've provided us over the past year. You don't know how many difficult hours you've helped many of us through. Very Warmest Regards from the heart. xoxoxoxooxoxoox

Thank you so much for the kind words and Merry Christmas 🎅

[@safrew1]

This is such a kind comment.❤ I agree ❤

[@annefereday1293]

The chandeliers are particularly delicately graceful - complimenting the gilt decoration. Your combined artistic talents and dedicated craftsmanship are a testimony to your sheer genius.

Thank you very much!

[@robertmdaniels]

Add a dream team, an historic chateau, and some zhuzhing produces a beautiful gem!

[@brendapeterson1956]

You are both artists! Truly gorgeous outcome!

Thank you so much!

[@Cincinnatian777]

Adrian's work on the floors and chandeliers was so impressive as was the work Carole did in creating the grandest of grand salons and beautiful hall . Praise too goes to Beth for editing.

Thank you!

[@pamelafelt4414]

Beautiful

[@lorispencer2046]

The salon seemed so daunting in the beginning. The work that both of you put into that room was amazing to watch. I'm sure that all the gilding and plaster work seemed like it would go on forever. Not knowing how the floor was laid out was a puzzle in itself. Adrian was up for the challenge though. The salon was transformed in the end to a beautiful room. The hallway was in just as bad a state, but you both turned an ugly ducking into a beautiful swan. You are both so talented, and I'm looking forward to what is to come in the new year. Happy Christmas Adrian, Carole and Bethany 🎄. Many blessings to you all.

Thank you Lori and Merry Christmas 🎅

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

It’s so refreshing to see a house being renovated properly with such care and attention going to the bits you can’t see, not just the bits you can. So many of these types of channels are painful to watch as they can’t really afford the properties and important structural work is not done correctly and it’s just covered over.

Thank you!

[@highlandgoldendoodlesrobin4828]

I’d forgotten how sad that hallway was before you restored it❤

It certainly was!

[@sherylcarey4921]

Love it, so much hard work, hate to see you sell, but you have to do what's best for family

Thank you!

[@mrein5962]

This the first time I see a renovation done and still keeping its original design very amazing

Thank you 😊

[@denisemastromina7821]

Although I have watched all your videos I am in awe of your achievements over the last year. I just don't know how you can bear to sell it. Its so beautiful. All the best wishes for 2024 to you both and all your family

Thank you and Happy new year!

[@Steinru73]

You’ve completed an amazing amount of work on this restoration this year. I love watching your projects progress.

Thank you very much!

[@eileenmaycock5306]

Happy Christmas and a wonderful 2024 to you all. You give so much joy watching you all work so hard renovating a pre loved chateau to bring it back to life. Thank you sharing your skills and how to tackle such daunting tasks., and all the ideas putting objects, colour schemes together., and not forgetting the marvellous help from the octogenarian gardeners.

Thank you so much!

[@Jackie-se8ek]

ADRIAN AND Carol l have loved every thing l have seen but when Adrian started the work on the salon floor l was totally amazed! You both should feel very proud of what you have done.

Thank you very much 😊

[@susanmetzelar549]

The place is so pretty. Deep down I'm wishing you guys keep it. Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family.

Thank you! You too!

[@tammywilliamsbradley2294]

Beth is the best editor keep it up. The work everyone has done is inspiring. With a new year around the corner, the possibilities are endless. Blessing you and yours with good things and the possibility of a wedding soon (Beth) .

Wow, thank you!

Thank you very much 😁 -Beth

[@judyfudge2458]

The beauty you accomplished just leaves me breathless..

Thank you and Merry Christmas. 🎅

[@annlawrence852]

You guys are such hard workers. I’m very impressed. I also think you for a great designer Carole. I pray that you will be able to keep your Château

Thank you so much!

[@lemondedusilence]

Cest tres joli , beaucoup de travail . Merci de redonner vie à nos châteaux abandonnés par la France 😍😊

c'était un plaisir

[@homemoviesandotherstuff3419]

Such attention to detail!!

Thank you 😊

[@hopediamond214]

I think back to the footage that M. Petherick took in one of his videos. Amazing!

Long time ago!

[@edwardulrich1515]

Adrian and Carole, it is still amazing to see the transformation of Château de la Ferte under your restoration and care. Bravo!!! May you and your loved ones have a Joyeux Noël.

Thank you and the same to you. 🎅

[@elisabeth6108]

I've followed you since the beginning but I'd forgotten how absolutely dismal the hall was! What a transformation! Even in its dilapidated state the grand saloon had a forlorn, faded elegance to it, but the hall? Dismal!

Yes it was a challenge

[@carolyn64]

I had forgotten just how much hard work the both of you had put into the transformation of this beautiful chateau! I'm sure that the two of you remember every bit of it! If the time ever comes that you do have to sell your home in France and move on to another home in the UK 24:23 I hope that the person you decide to sell it to will continue to care for everything you have started! Best of wishes for a positive outcome and hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Thank you and the same to you. 🎅

[@johan8058]

Looking forward to the next video, cant wait to see this finished.

You and me both!

[@michaelarguellodesigner2087]

I feel like it’s the reminder we needed how far it’s come along Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas 🎅

[@karpland]

You have all of my respect for all the hard work you have done to save this old beauty.

Thank you ☺️

[@hughw8543]

The complexity and quality of the work you do is extraordinary. Selfishly I hope you don't sell La Ferté too quickly, as watching what you continue to restore and refurbish is endlessly rewarding. I hope you have managed to enjoy a relaxing family Christmas.

We thankfully had two weeks down time 😊

[@debpate9405]

Hello! Seeing you hand stitch reminded me of a job I had in the 1970s doing hand sewing for a custom drapery business. Everything you folks have done to your chateau is done to perfection. If it gets a new owner they will be very fortunate. I bought a lovely large angel holding a torch figurine in a thrift store ($6.) and thought of you two. A good wipe down and a bit of very lightly highlighting on her with rose gold paint turned out well. She now holds up a white candle atop the torch and sits on an small antique, hand carved mahogany table. I wish you and your family a wonderful happy, healthy New Year! ❤

Thank you & Merry Xmas 🎅

[@kooran2027]

So much work done! Absolutely gorgeous! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Thank you! You too!

[@jillbeechey4453]

It has been a year of beautiful accomplishments. Merry Christmas to both of you and your loved ones. 🇨🇦🎅🤶🎉🎄

[@judyc1680]

Adrian & Carole, you’re a great team, encouraging & complimenting each others work, beautiful & so well done. Please keep ip the beautiful work.

Thank you! Will do!

[@hmeyers5114]

You have both accomplished so much this year!!! Not to mention the grandbaby, job change, do you get ferry miles like air miles?, completing two large portions of the chateau, mowing, gardening, working on a rather wonderful tan in the chateau pool, cleaning and fixing up the UK house, cleaning and hanging chandeliers, selling a car, 😭 stealing strawberries, wind surfing, clearing land... Great highlight vlog! But I did miss Carole's shorts. (Truly the unforgettable apex of your year. 😘) Wishing you and yours the very best holidays and a fantastic 2024 - no matter where you end up in the world. ❤☃🌊❄🩱🎄👣👣

Thank you and yes the shorts are missed 😂

[@marie-franceguigny5346]

Carole, congratulations this room is really beautifull i suppose you would like do the same work for the walls of the dinning room which are no enough well. Love to you

[@eleanorbertuch135]

Absolutely awesome and beautiful ❣️

Thank you so much!

[@MissSassyFrass]

Your curtains are just beautiful and completely accentuate the rooms and the accessories are simply lovely.

Thank you 😊

[@joyabell4420]

Merry Christmas to you all, still all looks stunning, but just a reminder of all the hard work you have put into your chateau. Thanks the films and editing.

Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎅

[@diannewarburton2822]

Watching from Australia. Mesmerised by all your hard work and dedication. Hope you can hold on to the Chateau - you deserve a life in the beauty you are both creating!! ❤❤

[@cmp7777CeliaP]

Merry Christmas to you all. You must be feeling lots of emotions, relief, awe, satisfaction & you should be so proud of what you've achieved. The hardwork has produced such beauty. The painstaking work is remarkable. Thankyou & enjoy your Christmas together, see you next year. 2024 we're going to soar.❣️🎵🎄🎁🥂💃🥰🧡

Thank you! You too!

[@kirstynash9765]

amazing, still think the salon needs a huge gold/ cream rug, but do appreciate they are hard to find in good condition, as always your renovations are in keeping with the wonderful ladies age, nice modern touches where possible ( horse lamp) shame you are selling but i also have a grandchild and another on the way so i appreciate you want to be close so you can help and also be hands on to nurture and guide them growing up………❤❤

Thank you and totally agree 😊

[@glimmersbytanya]

Beautiful work!

Thank you very much!

[@WaKincaid]

Thank you from the whole planet 🌎 for saving this treasure

The Grand salon was absolutely the masterpiece, and you both has golden hands, and all you touched changed in something beautiful, thank you, have a wonderful Christmas time and wishing you the best for 2024..and hope we see you more. Thank you.

Thank you! You too!

[@rosejohnson452]

Your continuous banter and smiles are terrific. What a task. That hall floor was a wonder to behold. As in, I wonder if we should just quit and run away to Paris? How do you face this decay, without being discouraged.

Just take a small bite at a time! and drink lots of coffee 😆

[@nicolalaverick2357]

Although I watched throughout the year to see this compilation and a reminder of where you started and what you have achieved is amazing. Adrian for your skills and knowledge from removing rotten joists, building support walls in the cellar and painstakingly working out how the parquet flooring should be laid, to Carol and your eye and patience in decorating and furnishing each room, even making and dressing those beautiful curtains in the salon. I wish I had your eye for interior decoration, and also Beth for her patience in videoing the progress and compiling the weekly programmes for us all to view. A fabulous transformation of the chateau. Well done to you all. I only wish you weren’t selling so we could follow you for the complete transformation. Merry Christmas to you all xx

Thank you and Merry Xmas!

[@graciemaca6996]

It's amazing what you both accomplished in one year!🎉 Just doing the parquet flooring was a monumental task in itself! Seeing the Salon finished in all its gold glory is exquisite! 😊 Well done, I am excitedly awaiting to see what's in store for this next year!🎉🎉🎉❤👍

Thank you!

[@Helen-uw3pu]

I'm sure you look at this video with as much amazement as we do to see what you both have accomplished in a year. Great job(s) done to the pair of you. BTW a big thank you to Beth for putting together these videos for us to enjoy.

I’ve been looking forward to having time to sit down and enjoy watching this, as I know how Bethany has put previous time lapse/ compilations together, and as expected this was brilliant, showcasing Carol & Adrian’s hard work and designs! The amount of work you all put into this beautiful chateau is mind boggling and breathtakingly stunning. You’ve done chateau de La Ferte proud in the short time you’ve brought the most important parts of her back to life and grandeur, for future generations and your KZbin followers, to enjoy. Congratulations!
