Wanda and I tackle (with some difficulties) wallpapering Poan room, Thomas and crew rebalance and re-plumb the fountain and it’s incredible! And if that’s not enough, they break through the cottage wall to create the new window and it’s stunning!

Thank goodness for a Tomas, Wanda and Bruce they are keepers 😊

[@inthewoods667]

Every woman needs a Tomas in her life. Great work!

[@leahworks4242]

I’m not sure Perhaps every woman needs a Wanda in her life!!😊

[@chickadeeacres3864]

Easy on the eyes too 😉

[@newday5]

Or a Bruce

[@chickadeeacres3864]

@@newday5 agreed!

[@JanePilkington]

Wanda's a keeper. You have the best friends

[@lisareagan3839]

A wood chipper would be a great addition, free mulch to keep your flower beds weed free and retain moisture. Thomas and friends are a great group, you are so lucky to have them.

[@HandbagDiva]

So much progress the fountain and the pool area looks amazing! Wanda is such a go getter! You got so lucky finding Thomas, he’s a Jack of all trades! Hope your daughter had a wonderful graduation!

[@cathrynmccay6820]

Suggestion: With the peacock wallpaper, color match the background of the wallpaper with paint and paint the wall over the door where you "made a mistake". The mistake will disappear. Tomas is such a hard worker!

[@celiaatwork4875]

The wallpaper is GORGEOUS. Congratulations.

[@Maria-fd7re]

Wanda is quite the character!😂

[@maggieziehl9290]

A spot to grow your own vegetables for the chateau’s ❤

I just love wanda she makes the vlog.

[@melodyfisher1512]

Busy, busy! So much progress going on…all ending up beautiful. I’m loving the pool area. You have so many charming spots to enjoy! I’d never want to leave! ❤

[@FranWhorton-of5ql]

The sprayer washer did wonders to the appearance of the walks and fountain! Was truly amazed in the transformation. You must be excited how things are finally coming together.

[@rdm98607]

Everything about this rehab is like a puzzle. Great crew, patient owner, lots of dough. You have made such great progress and it is so fun watching each transformation…. Renee

[@sarahmiller5632]

Thank goodness no drop of wine was spilled in the making of this vlog. Good work Wanda. 🤗😂🇨🇦

[@maurawhelan3530]

The fountain is so gorgeous. Really lovely. Great job! The Chateau is looking so well…

[@katrinalryan]

I love Wanda, she is such a riot💗

[@kathyeyesopen4078]

Hi Abbie. You are truly amazing. The paper is gorgeous and no one will notice the little difference above the door. Wanda needs to listen to your instructions better. I hope you can get it finished on the little wall tho. I bet Bruce could piece it in there. The fountain looks wonderful and the sound is lovely. I’m amazed at what Tomas has accomplished in the little cabin. How is his home coming along? Take care, till next time. ❤❤❤

[@jamieloom22]

So many projects slowly coming together. Great work everyone.

[@user-il9tx9di4b]

This whole project has been amazing! The one thing is…why wouldn’t you want a window in your bathroom? The ultimate would be in the bath that you have, lounging in a hot bath with a nice picture window with a view of nature while you bathe? Other than that, perfection! ❤ 🇫🇷

[@chateauchronicles]

No do-able as it would affect the exterior facade for which I would need special permission and it would ruin the symmetry. The original bathroom was huge and included the window.

[@LoireValleyChateaux]

Spray "30 Second Wash" on your fountain, bricks, walls, pavers & fencing periodically to keep them clean & new looking. Leave it on & let rain wash it off.. it's safe for plants & shrubs. ❤️🙏

[@laurielyon3481]

1:17 congrats on the visa! And beautiful fountain ⛲️

[@jenniferdelrieu7932]

Your insulation is hemp, linen and cotton. A good ecological choice!!

[@imtired6104]

Solar-powered (colored) lights either in or pointed at the fountain would be magical. Congrats on the visa!

[@IslandGirl7215]

The WallPaper in Paon is stunning

[@juliannadougherty2647]

You could bring a herd of goats in for a week or so, they do a great job of clearing and cleaning up the ground...so cute too

[@chateauchronicles]

That would be so fun!

[@katepenk3401]

Your chateau has the loveliest setting of any of the others on KZbin. The VIEWS ARE FABULOUS!

[@chateauchronicles]

Aww, thank you!

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

There’s a lot getting accomplished. Very exciting. Safe travels Abby. xx

[@fire8345]

Curved stairs down to the pool would be so cool.

[@veronicasmith1147]

I would sit in the fountain on a sunny day❤🎉

[@garyweybright3227]

Paint over wallpaper! Glad it’s just the one wall! What an ordeal! No Deco print for this girl. Live and learn the motto for life! ClaudiaSJI

[@rdm98607]

Love the fountain!!

[@donnathomas8612]

So many projects - well-done! Wish I was there to help and hope to someday have that opportunity!

[@laurielyon3481]

4:50 love the sound and look of that beautiful water!

[@sandispady9058]

It looks so much better now by the lower pool.

[@charmees6637]

Opening up the view is making a world of difference. Great tree felling, trimming, clearing, etc. love Wanda’s window cushion cover she’s getting amazing ideas. Yep,wallpaper hanging there’s a skill involved for sure. What good value Wanda is along with Tomas and Bruce. The room looks pretty though.

[@dianayavetz6286]

With all your artistic talent maybe you can just paint in that small area over the door where the wallpaper didn’t quite reach the ceiling. It’s honestly in a place you really wouldn’t be looking closely. I think it looks great and you learned a lot. That side wall looks nice just the solid color. Good job you two!

[@seaview9948]

You certainly need a team ! Looking so great !

[@lilyayre9155]

Looking good

[@deef3430]

The railing outside upper window is a Juliet Balcony.

[@radiogramgramophonetoons5802]

Not great footwear Wanda, to walk down a grassy bank !!! Especially with a glass of wine in one hand……… but a true legend….. not spilling any 👏👏🙂

[@jenh9252]

Clearly used to not letting her booze out of her hands

[@chickadeeacres3864]

I am beginning to agree with Wanda. I’ve been called the Dremel lady, but I’ve been following a lot of diy renovation channels and these angle grinders are quite versatile!

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Wanda is amazing ❤Love the peacock wallpaper 😍😘

[@maryhirsch2909]

So many things going on. Loved the fountain and tree triming. The wall paper came out awesome. I did things older home and things were not square. Love Wanda. Loved Tomas striped pants in the bathroom plastering. Awesome video.

[@deirdrecerasa3932]

So many things going on! Everything seems to be coming together in the way you hoped. I know there is still more but for now, it is beautiful. ❤

[@ma-ac5507]

IDEA: What about if you put a curtain that folds up on the small Wood Been that is in the before the window.? I think is a good idea as you just leave the window as it is.

[@nitahiltner3348]

Love your land and the little pond.

[@norascholey7909]

Every episode shows so much more potential for bringing back the chateau grounds. Love the secret pool/grotto. (I think you meant pot-ag-er = poe-ta-jay). You'll have to do tours!!!

[@snowbirdlady7221]

The fountain is such a lovely feature. The sound of water is so calming. Re: the field. Do iceland poppies grow well where you are? Have you thought about leaving some of the area wild and planting poppies in the grass? You were very brave to do a wallpaper print like that. Very complicated print to match up! Congrats!

[@allthatglitters4111]

Wanda the legend xx

[@BCapStarR335]

The wallpaper is beautiful!

[@rachellemontoya5504]

Once again, the crew is magnificent!

[@myriamp.1628]

If Wanda is in charge for the next two weeks, I’ll be right over, it’s bound to be an adventure 😊

[@user-ww9so8pe6n]

Love all❤

[@nikkiscott4341]

For the bull's-eye window, you could make a removeable shutter on the inside, held in place with swivel clip thingies.

[@laurielyon3481]

12:51 yes for umbrella stand / table painted black for top of stairs. A nice bit of drama 🎭 for that location!

[@SherryBaby1107]

Very busy week!! So much is getting done fountain pool a window wallpaper and hopefully a four year visa!! Congratulations to Olivia!! Wonderful to see her graduating! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead Abby! Au Revoir💜

[@Dawn-bd5gu]

wool insulation is flame resistant. it is breathable. it will keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. cotton is also breathable and can help control moisture. hemp not sure. I wish that the USA had this insulation.

[@laurielyon3481]

30:25 a nice size window in cottage! Nice work Tomas!

[@vickiporter2945]

Only you will know that above the door may not be perfect

[@predatornz.5493]

The Gardens have nice settings with views , once the cliff is down u be able to design it and put in more plants . Wallpapering can be fun but it also can be stressful if u have problems matching up the patterned or getting the right cut if the walls are not straight . Using rolls gives u more scope if u making mistakes . Love the paper chance .

[@marcie685]

Wanda your the bomb I hope you find a place in France .🇦🇺🙋‍♀️

[@Lannorra]

I have done a lot of wallpapering in my life, and I never enjoyed it. LOL. Love your videos!

[@glorialutes3380]

Great video… love how you have such a variety and longer length to enjoy! Wallpaper is beautiful, great job!

[@IslandGirl7215]

I like the small wall left without WallPaper. You could paint it navy and stain the 200 yr old beams darker

[@laurielyon3481]

40:47 omigosh! That wall paper is so beautiful! Love it!!

[@judithlynch9083]

The background of the paper looks more cream . I like that better than the gray. It is very pretty paper either way.😁

[@afountainpenawakening]

I love that wallpaper!!! Looks fantastic. So many things happening at the Chateau this week!!! Big congrats to Olivia for her graduation and to you for getting your residency... Love Wanda not spilling a drop of wine while walking the cliff - too funny. Things are coming along quite nicely ey? Happy travels Abby 👋🏻

[@chateauchronicles]

Thank you!

Oh you papered my room, it beautiful! The fountain and lower pond look lovely. Congratulations on your visa! 🎉

Abbey, you have work on all fronts, managing and juggling them is no mean feat. Good luck and well done.

[@deanne609]

You amaze me with what you have gotten done so far. What a crew you have helping you! The pool area being cleared made such a huge difference, Love following along. ❤

My take-away is that men with a chainsaw are the same in every country.

Next for the merch store - need to get some branded steel wine glasses with lids like Yeti or Corkcicle. So much to discover outside these days. Love the property and all the project going on inside too!

[@clairetremblay3023]

Your paon wallpaper is just perfect. So beautiful! I really prefer the one you received more «pinky» . Hope you gave us all the infos, I would like to order some for my second bathroom. This house is full of suprizes.... water, etc. you have such patience...

[@sharonalexa]

If I get stranded on a deserted island I would want Tomas & Bruce there too lol. The wallpaper is gorgeous Abby & Wanda 🤍

[@user-bs5we9cz3v]

The Payton room looks good. Wonder if with the wallpaper being a little busy, if you couldn’t take the left over wall paper and find a way to cut and add to the blank spaces of sections one and two? Wasn’t all that noticeable and you may not even be able to tell smaller pieces are filling in .

[@lorimcclaskey5179]

I really enjoy your videos. Everything looks beautiful and I can’t wait to see what it looks like next time.

[@maryannknox7158]

Wow the peacock 🦚 wallpaper came out fabulous

[@kieralee464]

congratulations on Visa !!! 👏👏👏👏🥳

[@valerieb.4912]

Wanda is such a cool lady. I just love her "Catatitude (T-Shirt)" ! Thomas is everywhere working hard. Yes Bruce is correct. It is not squared. I also learned this from my mistakes. You have so many projects going on. It is going to be so beautiful when you are done.

[@eleanormatthews2224]

Don’t reorder wallpaper panels. Put trim at the ceiling to hide the mistake!

[@gloriaadu5485]

Looking at the house, when you first start, and now yoy did a great job. and all the workers, hats off to all.

[@classyvintagetravels6744]

That insulation is very cool

[@pattywest1]

That wall paper is beautiful

[@paulacorreal1675]

Do you have any future plans for painting the court yard doors? I know you’ve had many priority jobs to tend to first, so I imagine you may have this on a “to do” list somewhere.

[@shellylaw4]

You work so hard all of the time! I would love to be able to visit! I buy things from a French lady that goes to lots of brocantes and sells them on Instagram.

[@louisemaree2704]

You could use a small timber trim around the wall papered wall to cover the error and frame it out. It would make it a real feature wall. 😊

[@coffeewithmia7498]

Thanks Abby That was fun! So much good content!

What lovely wall paper in the peacock room it looks great xxxx

[@68paulak]

[@HandbagDiva]

I would paint that lower part of the bedroom wall the same shade of pink from the wallpaper. It’s lovely wallpaper despite your snafu.

[@artemira]

You should bring Thomas back a Seattle Mariner's cap or Seahawk's cap. He seems to like to wear caps for work.

[@chateauchronicles]

Haha. Good idea!
