EP34 Hidden in the Desk ... Looking for treasure with

[@catgray1]

I agree with Stephanie, that painting the bed to match the window frame color would look fabulous! Now I'll have to dig through your videos to see what you decided to do! 😊

[@boessheila50]

Edd and Anna l, It was excellent meeting with Stephanie and Phillip, touring them thru ur Mansion and showing them ur great antique pieces from the Auction. I hope they help u get renter or buyer❤ Stephanie networks alot. So something could happen in future🤔🤫😃

[@cornishcoves9399]

it is great that Stephanie and Philip as well as the Pethericks have been encouraging and supportive since your disastrous flooding. You are very hard working and have bounced back though it is daunting to bring your business back to pre-covid time. Bless you all.♥

[@BordeauxLife]

Thank you so much xx

[@amish-landchateau]

😍

[@barbibutton9619]

And before...I feel it's all for a reason. Not sure what that reason is, though I have a thought...more will be revealed. Nice to watch the journey

[@carolehanrahan]

I still can't get over the fact that you hadn't looked in the drawers of the furniture yet! That would the be first thing I'd do upon getting it. Maybe I'm just nosy but I love finding little surprises. This was so much fun to watch.

[@rubytook8067]

Me too!

[@patriciaatkinson2435]

Small children are already grand mysteries.

[@caroleknappsmith9010]

Beautiful desks and cupboards. I love seeing what you have done and all you have yet to explore. Blessings to you and stay safe.

[@barbibutton9619]

It's always nice to see you guys with Steph. She has a good heart as does Anna. Glad you guys build each other up and support one another. Somehow, in the future, it's going to pay off (not that THAT is a reason to be her friend 🙂)...she's easily likeable. Liking your channel!!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Lovely to see you guys together enjoying beautiful antiques 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@HollyRose1529]

I love the bed paneling it’s stunning! How dreamy. I’d love that as my bedroom in my imaginary chateau! 🤣🤣❤️ I love seeing Stephanie x Philip x the Pethericks, always so helpful x fun to be around. I’m glad all 3 families have come together! The passion project is such fun to watch. Get out the WD 40 or the equivalent in France. Grease the lock 🔒 Thank God for Inspector Philip! 🤣🤣🤣❤️ He knows furniture.

[@kathleensmith8365]

Yes, the bed is fussy. But, this is France! And with the high ceiling, the elaborate bed surround seems almost cozy. Please keep it.

[@judithburke1539]

I would lower the light fixtures so that they could be seen under the top piece, instead of being partially hidden.

[@casa0123]

Remember you are wanting to sell. Other people will have other ideas !!!

[@milesmagsajo4461]

Nice to see the 4 of you again together . I Enjoy seeing your improvements in your Chateau Ed & Anna .

[@wildflowerwind6941]

What a fun group of people. Mature, respectful, kind, beautiful hearts.

[@LeslieNikulka]

I absolutely love the colour of the chateau stone. It is so calming somehow as a statement wall in room. I love seeing Stephanie and Phillip hanging out with you. Thank you for sharing.

[@ginny736]

I would paint the bed furniture a very soft French blue - leaving the gold trim - and paint the rooms walls the same French blue. I agree…the yellowed crackle finish is not good.

[@27Spiritgirl]

I had the same thought! it would be stunning!

[@pennysue8926]

I like your vision of the bed furniture being painted a french blue... however... what about a french grey for the walls... extremely light in hue?

[@Rebekahlow]

I love the medicine for "Precocious Aging"!!! Perhaps Edd and Anna could discover the recipe and sell it at their events each year.The work on the chateau is beautiful!! I really enjoyed watching you all look through the drawers for treasures! Love from Vermont

[@josephforsuh6929]

I don't drink wine, but the Sunday video @The Chateau Diaries was absolutely wonderful. Wine lovers, wine drinkers will really thoroughly enjoy this time drooling over wine. Watch, because it was magic!!

[@gisellenorbury2369]

That was so lovely and fun looking for treasure with the most wonderful friends. Thank you

[@thisisjeff9845]

I found an old radio from the 1920s under some stairs. I cleaned it out and found a pair of old gloves in it. There was $100 Canadian in the gloves and the radio still worked.

[@ednadolan9253]

Great vlog, really enjoyed it. Just shows it's worth checking anything previously owned. The furniture is beautiful and the house is looking wonderful. You both work so hard and deserve all good luck. Great to see Stephanie and Philip with you 👏☺️💕

[@rociom2176]

I loved seeing the four of you together! You are such a nice people! And the treasure hunt was wonderful and funny. What an adventure. 👏😊

[@pebblesmiller9026]

I agree its fun to watch but more i feel included 🙂

[@sf9145]

I like the bed in the room. Not too fussy at all. Just go minimal in the accessories. Okayyyy, paint it.

[@Lea-bw9wj]

I wouldn't worry about it looking to fussy. When I think of French chateau's I think of gold, colour, scrolls, wall paper, panelling. I think you can make the room work. I'd repaint the cupboards and leave the gold. I'd leave the wall paper in the sides. It's beautiful. I'd use that wallpaper as the base for the whole room and pick out the colours in it. The cupboards in a soft pale blue/grey. The bed in the darker teal/green/blue (sorry hard to see colours. Then blanket and chairs in some other colours. Id also change the mirror for a scrolly one. It would still be simple but with colour. The colour will balance out the fancy look of it but keeping the fabrics simple. Good luck

[@janetkellerdye8131]

Rubbing a candle on the bottom rails of the drawers will help them open and close much easier!! Treasure hunts are the best!

[@pebblesmiller9026]

Or soap🙂

[@dawnchorus7167]

I loved how Phillip couldn't wait to see what was in the desks and the excitement from everyone of possible treasure. From now on you have to check any more desks and tables coming in to the chateau.

[@magicgemmaster7055]

I love the top piece and how the light shines through the middle. Perhaps add the same detail in the nooks to the cupboard panels; and change the color if the windows and drapes to match. ☺️

[@kimberlyguerra4283]

The four of you are magic together! This was SOOOOO much fun!

[@coniwatson9512]

You 4 are priceless. Love the discovery.

[@lesserpoo]

Anna, that bed would look better if you placed the center piece higher than the side pieces, like a crown. It will lift the ceiling, reveal the lights and make the wall appear wider. And paint the set as Stephanie suggested. It will be stunning!

[@BordeauxLife]

Good Idea for the moment we are just getting on with the renovations and will come back to this after. xx

[@lesserpoo]

@@BordeauxLife your beautiful home is a showpiece! Wishing you the best!

[@jeniferpollonais6546]

This was entertaining and interesting! Loved it! Thank you.

[@geegeel7907]

This was so intriguing 🤔. I quite enjoyed the entire video. Especially the bedroom set.

[@avacadman2155]

Such lovely friends..💗💗

[@inabates8919]

All coming together, looking really nice 👍.

[@eileencronk7520]

The great treasure hunt!❤

[@ellaw356]

Anna, could you paint the walls as an accent behind the bed and the nook and Also you could hang the bed top on top wall a bit higher. I think the lights being covered are bothering you as well. My sister is an interior designer and she has all kinds of ideas. It’s not that it won’t work, it just needs a bit of “tweaking”. Lots of ❤️ to you guys! PS- I don’t know the area, but could you and Ed rent it out “furnished”, until things get back on track?

[@barbaranunn4958]

Those wall lights are completely wrong , why not put hidden light under the pelmet and paint walls cream.

[@jadejohns3107]

I like the lights and I like them behind the central panel without raising it up.

[@josephforsuh6929]

I just presumed the were going to rent it out to short stay visiting groups/families.....

[@endeavouringit]

@@barbaranunn4958 agreed

[@dennishart2610]

Anna, we love it! It's not too fussy, it's a wonderful statement. You will make it gorgeous, I promise!!

[@inishireland]

It's amazing the things you find, I was given my great aunt's Travel Writing Box and found old Travel tickets, diary, stamps, all very interesting.

[@secondchance23]

For some reason, I think the bed alcove frame with cabinets would be great on the room with the exposed stone wall and side fireplace. You could also let it stay in its current room with some heaven/sky scenery wall painting above it, and stephanie's recommendation of color change.

[@bobh3704]

Ed and Anna no matter who comes by your both so nice and inviting. I hope you do more with your other chateau owners in the future. Stef and Philip would be very helpful as you see. Nice job everyone!

[@Tracy_R]

I was listen at night, trying to keep it low so not to wake the family but I couldn't hear turned up then Anna would laugh... the cat & dog jumped. Lol Adore you all. Hugs & blessings

[@sarahcampbell6959]

This is the best Chateau episode yet.

[@smee1969]

My TV just keeps loading these one after another...I laughed so hard at the constipation medicine you all found that was too funny🤣😂🤣 and i agree if you painted that bedroom piece I think it is beautiful

[@bettygehm2436]

Oh all the secret hidey spots in the furniture... mystery upon mystery.... the bedroom side pieces with the top piece needs to stay. a repaint will bring it to life. I love the collaboration of ideas flowing... Steph and Phillip are such a good team... I still have hope you will save the mini chateau and not have to lose it forever...

[@sharroberts9083]

Anna is so darling. So nice to see this friendship while touring such a nice chateau! Completely love the bed wall frame. It's lovely. Maybe needs a bigger space for a better fit to display in all its glory, but that's it. It's beautiful.

[@juliebasford1976]

So entertaining, really enjoyed your vlog, what a voyage of discoveries .Stephanie looked so glam in her Chanel like suit (such a class act), and Philip's attention to detail knows no bounds.Thanks everyone for the enjoyment you bring to others, much love x

[@cherylmcgrath9081]

LOVED the treasure hunt, you never know what you're going to find. Thank YOU Anna n' Edd for sharing, what a great day at your beautiful home. LOVE from Chicago

[@BernardDauphinais]

1956, the year I was born. Yay! Fun video. The place looks great!

[@tc7486]

The bed surround is fabulous! It isn’t over powering. I can’t really tell what color the room is but if it’s white, the color of the painted surround won’t look good against white. That would kill it for me. But if the room were the right color? (I don’t know what that is) it may make the bed surround perfect. Or paint the crackle part a better off white.

[@yummboy2]

What fun! I am really happy that the four of you have become such good friends, as each of your personalities complement the other's and it makes for very enjoyable video footage. Rhe Grande Maison is looking epic! Edd has out done himself. Too bad you cannot keep it, but I hope you at least make a nice profit.

[@lancestricklin5271]

I’m so happy to see that your patreon has been a success. You guys are creating a lot of wonderful content for all of us to enjoy and it involves a great deal of time. I know that you are going to be a tremendous success with your channel and when weddings take off again you’re going to be swamped.

[@barbibutton9619]

Yes! I think Stephanie showing her support will help as well as The Petherick's.

[@del_ecuras1836]

Well done 👍

[@Tracy_R]

I ADORE THE BEDROOM!! FUSSY IS MARVELOUS!! YES, YES, YES! GORGEOUS!

[@111SecondHandRose]

Loved the treasure hunt! All so interesting. Love the work you're doing there. I would certainly keep the bedroom fitments along with the gold and as suggested I'd paint it in a similar colour to the window frames...just the sort of project I like! Best wishes. 🌹

[@jessicawalters9427]

Beautiful just beautiful ❤️

[@arlettedumais5776]

I agree, the base color of the piece doesn't work with the room's paint tones. I also like the central panel on top of the wall, but here's an idea - is there a way to attach it temporarily and live with it for a bit before making a final decision? Haha, my contractor always cringed when I started a conversation with "I have an idea..."

[@sarahclarke5500]

After taking another look at the video, it seems to me that the headboard cabinets are quite short compared to the height of the room. If you raised them up a good 12 inches on plinths, they might sit better in the room. The two wall sconces would show but they are so pretty they would only enhance the effect. Sarah from Ottawa again.

[@debbiemollison9866]

I love the bedroom suite.

[@SandraWarmbreath]

#BordeauxLife The bed set reminds me of the bed wall in the tower bedroom at Chateau de LaLande, the little room that Michae Petherick painted the faux paneling. The two doors to the sides of the Tower rooms are paneled and decorated and then form the niche for bed in the center. The crackle glaze furniture set in Edd & Anna's city Manor house is just a portable version of that same design concept. Since it's generally adored at LaLande that means it's just comes down to the colors,design, and other furniture they add to finish the room. I agree with the others that the two lights are misplaced, probably way to high; I think maybe they should be placed more like bedside reading lamps with softer bulbs. I will love seeing how you finally work it out. Good luck!

[@lisaburns1660]

The bedrooms are so beautiful! You do a great job at decorating. I loved the treasure hunt!

[@LCM8992]

To explain the 'less fussy with it, than without it' for the bed. Its like a sequined/beaded dress. A dress that's head to toe beads is more toned back, but a dress that's 3/4ths covered in beads can look over the top.

[@bluewrenreilly129]

Lovely Anna she is just so naturally lovely warm beautiful person the staircase is very elegant the place is absolutely stunning.It's just over poweringly beautiful Anna.The wall fixture that is against the wall quite in keeping with the magnificence of your whole property

[@puytheresateegarden5617]

I agree with the previous comment. The alcove is just a little small shave off a few inches off the center piece and it will fit perfectly. If not this room another room will work. It's a beautiful set.

[@MsCookiemonster0]

Loved watching this. I would put an add in the local paper asking if anyone is related to the lady in the paperwork. Say you bought a sideboard and found some personal paperwork in the draws and your looking for the owners relatives to claim the paperwork. Would be a great mystery to solve. Love surprises like this.

[@lisabeaudet8589]

Leave the cream color in a few of the smallest spaces on that bed, but do the large expanses in the pale green, as Stephanie suggests. That way, you can avoid the dreadful job of having to repaint inside all the fussy little squares in the gold cross-hatching (or the daunting task of removing the crosshatching without breaking it, in order to paint underneath). Pick up the cream color with some of the cushions on the bed and incorporate it into some of the other upholstery in the room, to pull everything together.

[@janiceeldred5231]

Love it, can't wait to see when all the rooms have been finished, I hope all goes well for the future.

[@jeannetterhodes19]

I’d paint the room a nice creamy color to blend with the furniture in question. The white is too stark against the antique! I’d leave the antique alone so it isn’t devalued.Then do faux paneling on walls with molding.

[@hahna77]

I think a lovely antique-looking wallpaper would compliment it beautifully.

[@sharroberts9083]

great suggestion.

[@sarahclarke5500]

Yes, I agree with Stephanie that painting the bed surround with a more complementary colour will blend it into the room nicely. Its present colour is so ‘of the ‘70s’ but looks just plain dowdy now. You are doing a lot of work to make the building enticing to buyers, hopefully the price you get in the sale will make it all worth while. What fun it was to find those hidden treasures in the antique cabinets! Now if only you could find things like that for Chateau Lagorce. It is a lovely old building and deserves its history. All the best, Sarah from Ottawa

[@NatiHerron]

That was a fun vlog. So interesting when you discover some treasure!

We are in the process of moving right now. When we took the stuff out of the drawers I had my daughter pull the bottom one out to see if anything had fallen under there. We found a couple of things of ours and stuff from the previous owner. You always need to check.

[@kearabartlett2279]

That bed frame is lovely I know we love keeping the original in most things but instead of getting rid of it just paint it a soft color and keep the gold and it would be stunning for the room!! It’s the yellow tone that doesn’t fit the room

[@Susan_Couture]

I think the wall behind the Bed Set should be the same color as those side shelf inserts. It would make the color of the bed set pop. & the other walls might be better as a creme? But I totally understand why you want them white for resale purposes. Which is such a shame you've worked so hard on it. It's such a beautiful space.

[@heidigresh2743]

Agree that the wall color should change… I like the blue color that you are suggesting.

[@christinagill6332]

Wow I'd love to buy an old piece of furniture and find something interesting it ... how interesting looking at old pieces of interest. Your work is amazing looks lovely, yes definitely need to change that yellow colour will look much better painted . Good luck for the future on whatever you decide to do love to you all ❤

[@Andrew-ey7wr]

Great vlog today… love your energy

[@milas2000]

I would flip the crown and put it anove the side cupboards with the bottom of the crown sitting on top of the side units. This would take the eyes upward and allow the sconces to remain visible:)

[@marielucier7982]

That piece with the two cabinets and the top piece would be nice in a window area. The cabinets flanking a window with a bench. The top piece over a window with curtains. Since I’m only now seeing this video a year later, I hope to run across what happened with this set.
