7:17 lol.. is where Michael talks about Stephanie and her china obsession 😂 Gosh.. i loved how he kept a straigh face during that moment IT WAS PRICELESS 😁😍😁❤

[@jeancarver6599]

Michael, love your personality!! ...... Some humor, some light hearted fun, and insight into what's going on around you! But love also, how you treat everyone with respect!!! Your personality makes all of your videos worth viewing!!!

[@JP-bv7bf]

Billy found a huge light box at the antique store with Ryan that was a desk also. so glad you got one that will help you enjoy your art.

[@DoingItOurselvesOfficial]

Yea I saw that it looked fantastic, although I find drawing on a sloped desk difficult.

[@debragonser745]

Michael!!!! I am so happy to see you picking up your art again! You were the one that inspired me to get my acrylics back out again! You should really do a you tube on your process. A lot of artists do you tubes!

[@lizrichards4173]

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE ON MICHAEL'S ART!

[@shirleyw8531]

He has inspired me to get back into watercolours, I am not talented like Michael but I enjoy it and it relaxes me

[@pinksage3555]

Me too! I have been actually wanting to learn how to paint and it would be interesting to watch an introduction to the process

!9.44 Florien seems to be a sensible chap. Doesn't rely on the car heater, but has on several layers of clothes.

[@blakehahn-atlantaga8510]

Florian is hilarious. Cannot wait to see what you are doing with your artwork! The light box is very useful - much needed purchase!

[@HelenSch]

Looking good in the new shirt Florian!

[@jot4336]

Florian knows how to stay warm - layers! I say that while I sit here in 3 layers and my hat in Michigan in a large house with modest heating.

[@Helene2367]

Billy says, stick your finger in it lol, Florian is going on about his new shirt and Michael is going on about his new light box. It's green lol. Too fun all you guys . More video's please Michael xo

[@jayneturnbull5041]

Florian makes a good boss...made you get into the corners when you were doing the cleaning. Good to see you giving the chateau some TLC, you are so lucky to live there all on your own. Florian is so entertaining, I love seeing him on the vlogs. The art project is intriguing, hope you can tell us about it soon.

[@nadeansimmons226]

After hard day teaching Year 2 children in high heat and high humidity days whilst wearing a mask all day it was so nice to come home to watch your gorgeous vlog. We all love you no matter what you film. Trust us all when we tell you that.

The light box is so neat! If the sides blind you try taping some black paper down to block the light out. Florian is such a wonderful friend. Glad y’all have one another.

At chandeliers so beautiful. I'm glad you were able to make it work. Yes, Stephanie is so short of china! It's very generous of you, Michael, to lend her some pieces so that they can eat and drink. 😁

You turn a trip home into a cinematic event, Michael! At any point there I was expecting to see a lone, wind-swept figure waiting for you to arrive. The music and rainy evening became so romantic! You have skills, Michael❤️. Regards from Susan at Hobart.

[@Heidieqx]

Very nice to see you and Florian. You two make such great friends, it's nice to see. Good for you on whatever the artwork is for, glad you're creating again. Loved the trip to the art store. Yes you better see that Stephanie gets some of that porcelain right away, she definitely has a shortage, they don't have anything to ear on 😆

[@carolweaver3269]

Michael, you truly are a hard worker. The home is clean and so much done. Floods around us. Warmed up for one day. Snow melts and what a mess. You are doing so well, and this Chateau is gorgeous! Love the architecture design on outside. Wood is beautiful inside. Thank you for sharing the video, am sure it is just hard to do this even, and yet you take the time to show us just how much work is involved and how far you are all coming! You are a lucky family to have each other and to take all of this very seriously and work on it together.

[@barbaragrace1992]

I am so glad you are designing again. Your whole face lights up when you talk about it. It's wonderful to see you back. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@normamurray4450]

That was nice watching you brothers work on the chandelier....you are both so quick witted and have the same work ethics. Then there was you and Florian chatting it up when cleaning. Michael, was that you playing the piano at the beginning of the video? It's so good to see you back doing videos! Nice to see Florian again too! Nice shirt!

[@lotusdolphin]

Florian so endearing. I just want to adopt him! And I like his new shirt!🤩. Michael what a wonderful place to be able to have so close to you for art supplies! I wish we had one of those! Yes Winsor & Newton is my favorite paint. I believe it is one of the highest qualities out there. However I’m looking for alcohol water colors. A friend of mine is just raving over them. They’re very vivid. So for florals It really makes them pop. I love love love the new backlight! You’ll have to let us know how you like it.

[@janelord6461]
