Finally the FRENCH DOORS are up | Charente Living | French lifestyle

We finally started our French house kitchen door renovation. In this video we show you how to replace old garage doors into antique glass double doors. It's been a process we have been waiting for a long time. In spring, renovating in rural France could not feel any better.
We are Robert and Jyrki - Irish and Finnish artists living in Helsinki, Finland. With no renovation experience, but lots of enthusiasm and passion we take on the big challenge of renovating a townhouse in rural France, and enjoy the lifestyle it has to offer. We bring you travel, lifestyle, interiors, renovation and more. Get inspired by the French way of life in beautiful South West of France!

Hi Robert and Jyrki, The new doors and the shutters transform the entire side of the house. Adding another source of light and a more secure entrance to the house also adds value to the property. It looks great. be proud of your work too. Job well done. Mark & Scott

Doors make great big garden tables on trestles

[@charenteliving]

What a great idea!

[@angelakilroe3271]

Can’t wait to see them painted, they’re looking very much in keeping with the rest of the houses now. Is the the shuttered window to the left of your property yours as well?

[@charenteliving]

Thanks Angela. We have the main house and little cottage to the right.

[@kefaad]

Simply adore your new improvements! These door panels elevate the property! So pretty! What is the name of the first 'baroque" style piece? Couldnt find it...

[@charenteliving]

Thanks so much. We love the difference they make. Music should be listed in the description.

[@kevincrouch3956]

I stumbled on your channel and really enjoy the content, your relaxed presentation is nicely removed from some of the other 'French Chateau' KZbin channels. I live in Australia with my French wife, but have been travelling regularly to France for the past 20 odd years, mainly in the Limousin, but also know the Charente quite well- a great part of the world with friendly people. Anyway, enjoy and I look forward to progress on your home.

[@charenteliving]

Thank you so much Kevin, for your lovely message. We really appreciate your kind words! Greetings to you both in Australia.
