Second Hand Shopping For The Château & Cottage, Plus Fitting A Sliding Door. Ep 16

[@betsywashburn9106]

When you go to put your kitchen in you might consider putting in drawers for all your lower cabinets as that will save your back when you go to take pots and pans out.

[@ce1581]

Dear Tracey , your doing womankind proud with your use of power tools 🥰👍❣️

[@debfromcanada3860]

I agree with Mum...a big no to the 1970s boat wheel lamp. That does not belong in a Chateau and the Titanic would never have displayed any manner of that. Love the silver bathroom set and gotten stool

[@thomasbee5218]

Jonathan - your grandma` is a badass - just in case you don`t already know that 😉😉😉😉

[@mariagillinson8527]

What would be nice to find is a towel heated wall multi rail to warm the towels.

[@deborahevans1452]

The little rocking chair is actually a antique gout stool to relive the pain of goat in your feet

[@maritlogan-halvorsrud6081]

Hi! The "vases" that you saw is for bringing humidity into the room. You fill them with water and hang them on the radiator. Love to follow you! 😊

[@debshaw680]

Much better than what we have today. In my house it’s an enormous electric humidifier that barely changes the humidity in the room. And so difficult to clean every few days!

[@Daihatsu_Hijet]

Came to the comments to say exactly the same thing.

[@nancibishof6462]

Wow! I have some that we call 'wall pockets' and are supposed to be vases. Thank you for the information.

[@Daihatsu_Hijet]

@@nancibishof6462 no these are not wall pockets at all that’s totally different. This style is meant to hang against a flat radiator they make a different style shape as a T to fit between the sections of an old radiator.

[@ldqa2737]

If you add a bright green rooted vine (not English ivy) to the humidifier wall vase it adds color to the room and helps balance the inside air. You'll add water more often but it's worth it to clean the air.

[@wendymorrison5803]

The "rocking chair" is a footstool. Often called a gout stool. Supporting the lower leg and adjustable to the user.

[@MegaShopperII]

Exactly

[@kindle7191]

Thank you for identifying the gout stool! I saw similar at thrift store on Vancouver Island and wondered what the heck is that! Now I know. Cheers Wendy from Canada.

[@johnpickford4222]

It’s gout that people know and share these things.

[@annettewalter2273]

I loved that cabinet with the carved figures on the front. Absolutely stunning

[@cynthiahudson7528]

Tracy, Amazon has a good looking lantern, sort of Farmhouse style selling for $79.00. Good luck

[@janejennings4537]

Villeroy and Boch floor tiles are the best quality you can get. What a great purchase you made there. Can’t wait to see them down.

[@debshaw680]

I’m absolutely addicted to dark, ornate, antique furniture. I need to buy lottery tickets, win the lottery, and buy a chateau to fill with loads of beautiful pieces like those two sideboards. My grandparents had some beautiful pieces they got in barn sales. I was absolutely in love with some of them.

[@jeanhawken4482]

Tony is very skilled and particular with everything he does. Loved the shopping so important for good health.

[@whatdodolphinsthink]

They arent vases, you hang them off radiators filled with water to help humidity your house! My mum used to have ones that looked exactly the same, straight from the 80s those! 😜

[@cathyblackhall5237]

Some lovely wardrobes and cupboards.The glass cabinet with red shelves would be great for the bathroom for towels,loo rolls etc and some fancy bubble baths in glass bottles...

[@kathyeggert1983]

Those floral print, wooden chairs.. don't laugh.. a decorator in Toronto had a set.. covered in beautiful outdoor fabric, painted the wood pastel.. Nice for our version of a cottage.. you would probably call our cottages.. Chalets by a lake.

[@IreneSonni]

I LOVE the wardrobe with the gold trim 😍 It‘s so unique. ❤️🥰 The „rocking chair“ is actually a footstool the higher end supports the calves and the small part for the feet. Jonathan is such a cutie 🥰🥰

[@LCamp-cr7fs]

Terry, what you called „little vases“ are actually humidifiers which you fill with water ans then hang on radiators.

[@JLoz1852]

I trust your tacky light choice! You love it and I know it will be perfect 👍 more shopping please, we love it 😍 I mean one day a week would be great for shopping 😉

[@ldqa2737]

25:13 He's so adorable! Brought a big smile to my face. 😻 I like the ships wheel lantern 🙂👍 This kitchen tiles will look great!

[@dkirwin]

Because every penny you put in both places it will help if ( if ) you ever have to sale. We never know what will come our way in the future. God forbid this to ever happen. Future means to be prepared so you got to think about the future. Love all of you 💗💗

[@anitasteedman7936]

You’re right Jonathan, cheese and onion Tayto’s are the best !!! Great work guys !!!

[@bigboy77dk]

Hi Terry 🙂 You should make a list of furniture, wardrobes, beds, lamps etc, that you will need in the Chateau, and get a storage space set up somewhere, where things can just sit safely and not be in the way, until they are needed. The thing about having to find things on a budget, in thrift stores and fleamarkets, is that you have to buy, when the great deal appears. If you don't, you might not find it again when you need it, or ever, at that particular price. Oh, and that damaged painting? If you wanted, you could actually cut it down, put it on a new, smaller stretcher, find a new frame - and still have a nice painting - and since it is ripped, you'd probably get it for next to nothing.

[@robinlea3449]

A while back you called for volunteers for next summer. We can’t come then but my husband and I would love to help in 2023. Please put us on you list! Robin and Russ Lea from Seattle Washington.

[@lawrencebaker2318]

Terry, the lamp is fine. Buy what you like, it is part of making the chateau your home! Both Britain and France have great naval traditions, a naval themed bedroom seems most appropriate! :-)

[@nadeansimmons226]

What a beautiful door to hide the wiring. So lovely

[@TheFiown]

The floral 'vases' are for putting water in and hanging on radiators to stop the room being too dry. It's a very French thing !

[@kdean9537]

Hi everyone, another lovely video! Tony the sliding door really suits, it looks wonderful...great job! Love shopping with you guys, I think Terry & Tracy would be dangerous if they went by themselves, but I love all you bought, really lovely pieces...probably a good thing Tony was with I think. 😊 Awe how cute is Jonathan...I hear those crisps are delicious! Thank you for sharing, always nice to see you all, take care, stay well! Much love Kathy x💖 (Ontario, Canada)

[@melanieh8261]

Tracy is "Super Woman" 💪 and sweet Johnathan is becoming a Shinning Star 🌟 What a beautiful job on the sliding door Tony! W😍W!!

[@mouse589c5]

My aunt lives in Tuscany and she has those square ceramic - what you called "vases" - with the hooks. They hang on the radiators, and I think that water is put in them to add some humidity to the air. The ones you saw are pretty. Hers are hand painted by local artists and are lovely too. Just like the lamp Tracy scored! Really enjoyed today's episode (let's be honest; I enjoy all of them!) but in particular this one, because it reminds me of wandering the epic (what us Aussies would call) carboot sale in Tuscany, where you can buy things manufactured before Australia was even colonised. I can't wait to go back. Your videos, even though French, gives me 'homesickness' for my second home. Thanks! PS Good job sucking in... I mean... 'educating' Tony to this kind of shopping! (Sorry Derrick!😉) Treasure hunting at it's finest. Look out, Ash.😂

[@thomasbjurstrom6480]

Lucky you to have such practical and helping parents!

[@patriciasweetman5526]

Line your roller tray with foil Tony. When you have finished, throw the foil away. Much easier clean up..

Love the finds, The cottage is going to be beautiful… it already is. Terry the music is killing me, it makes me anxious instead of relaxing. You all are doing a great job❤️

[@brownetesa]

Great find on the floor tiles Tony. Love the bathroom fixtures and blue lamp. I enjoy brocanting as well, even though our stores in Ontario are not as great as Emmaus. I saw quite a lot of things which I would have purchased. Tony, you did a super job with hiding all of those wire and hoses with the barn down. Looks great and practical.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you very much 🙏🥰

[@jennifercampbell7698]

Just one question did you label the wires on the electrical panel Tony? Hope you do as it would be difficult to identify them otherwise. And you are probably the only person with any idea what they’re for.

[@maemartin6270]

Fabulous tiles and a bargain too. Love watching you all going around these brochants. What bargains. Similar our charity shops which I am hooked on. Love watching your journey as you all work through the chateau and cottage. 👌Good luck with remaining rooms and can't wait to see some of them finished. All the best from West Coast of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ludmilabevan3283]

The cottage is getting closer to completion thanks to your efforts. Your hard work is paying off. Can not wait to see your kitchen renovation. The first step is made you have beautiful tiles for the floor now. Terry, your sailor lamp might look good in Jonathan's room if Tracy permits. 😉The bathroom set looks rather interesting. Hope to see it in place soon. And I am in love with that display cabinet. It would look fantastic in your chateau. Very classy.

Dear Terry , please snatch up the three beautiful large things the long console the incredible carved cupboard and the display cabinet ! They can be used for all kinds of storage pantry linens etc. Til you get moved in with proper kitchens and so forth and then they are there for people to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship for generations. Lots of people are buying up Chatteau now and buying up all the beautiful things . By the time your "ready" they won't be there anymore ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@germaineholmes2247]

Bargins galore. The little hooks may be for flannels, which in France are like à flannel bag with à tab to hang by. You pop your hand into the bag to wash. Its actually easier to use than an English flannel

[@ce1581]

Terry ! Yes I am blowing you guys up today🤣 if you paint the ships light chippy or crackeled black with bronze wax on the gold it might give the antique weight to it to make it more beautiful ? You have an artistic hand and a very good eye to take it from naff to antique . Or just use the actual wheel part if it 🥰

A successful thrift trip! Love the finds! Wonderful incentive to start readying that kitchen knowing the floor tiles are set to go. Hoping some volunteers are able to make their way down to make light work of it. I keep forgetting to pick up a card when I head to town so may send one for the Chateau. (Have taken on some temporary work till Fall which shocks my routine and body lol for awhile) However, I will remember! Love to see you all get out and pick up a few goodies....always fun incorporating new stuff in with the old, even Terry's nautical lamp!😉 Decorating has to have whimsey and fun too!

Terry, when you're looking at something with drawers, pull it out all the way. If there's dovetails on the corners it's good. If you see nails then bargain them down because it's not been repaired properly & there are probably other mistakes in the piece. I also try to look behind it. Remember, dovetails!

[@susangriffiths8621]

The three flowered "vases" that you came across are not vases. They are clay, so porous and you fill them with water and hang them by the hook on the front of your electric or oil wall heater so as to keep a proper level of optimal humidity in a room.

[@WingedHeron]

The footstool is actually a vintage footstool. I bought a similar one when I was in Bavaria, before I move back to Austria where it has been in storage for 17 years now :(. Needless to say I like the Teddy Bear seat idea. I think my ancient bear will be in for a treat when he reaches 60. I think the shopping tours are great. I can't help think of the beautiful fire screens I have in storage, alone with a lot of old items I moved from Australia to Austria in 2002. There seem to be a lot more treasures to be found in France than here in Austria, but I haven't been looking for much being stuck in Vienna. I cringe and so did my Dad when he use to tell the story about how in the late 40s and in the 50s folk use to burn their old furniture for the new fads items that they could slowly afford for the new trend laminate. It was for us a depressing tale. I think this is the reason the family collection from OZ was transported to Austria rather than me selling it off.
