About us,
We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK to rural France and restoring this beautiful building to its former glory.

Isn’t Asher one of the kindest and sweetest members of this family? Just watching how he pets little Patrick in such a loving way touches my heart. And, he is so thoughtful and considerate when interacting with Jonathan, what a great uncle to have. I’ve really come to admire and respect all of the emotional support he brings to every member of the family. Asher, you’re marvelous!!! 🥰👍🥰

[@kerneybroussard9937]

I AGREE COMPLETELY...

[@rochellenowik9875]

The furniture in place makes a huge difference in seeing how beautiful the chateau will be upon completion. Terry has impeccable taste in design. Ash is blown away by the history and between the two of you it is filled with love.

[@candicealambert7900]

I can hardly wait for the restoration of the dining room chairs. I wonder if it’s going to be done in leather? Spanish leather is the best and should be pretty reasonable to buy I would think.

[@patcardiff2563]

I love your red suite

[@donnaryan9365]

So so beautiful. I can definitely see the vision of GRANDEUR IN EVERY SPACE. Thank you for taking the time to dress rehearsal each space know that was not easy. Keep up the excitement in this process of getting to your finish line, because we are on the edge of our seats with every vlog. Kudos to you both for the music! Fits the degree of class in every shot!

[@annmcgranaghan2131]

Terrys' vision for the chateau is brilliant. Loved the tour of the rooms and the furnishings.

[@bobbiebrandel3152]

You've not only brought out her "blush," you are now learning about her life. She is now most assuredly alive, your chateau. Bless you, your family, and all those who have brought you stories about her life, and how she ended up almost gone. I love this series.

[@charmainemangiagalli]

Suite 400 is so stunning Ash I agree the 15 hours road trip was well worth it

[@kerneybroussard9937]

Ash you make me so happy with your reactions to everything. Thanks.

[@dianenichols8832]

I so appreciate what you are doing with your lives. Would that I were younger I would do the same. I can't begin to comprehend the amount of work you have done. Your vision is wonderful. My favorite room is the one where your tour began. I love the llight, airy feel to it and the unfinished walls remind me that this is an ancient building. How beautiful! There is not a room that I don't like, that one is simply my favorite. I began travelling in France in 1973. The chateaux were there but It never occured to me to buy one and restore it. I was lucky enought to live in Paris for a time, just long enough to learn to love it. I return whenever I can ( not since late 2019 because of covid). I am eager to return any time. My favorite thing to do is rent a car and just drive, discovering the hidden nooks and crannies of the country. How I applaud that you are able to live there and help bring this wonderful chateau back to life.

[@lkmayhew9390]

Ash, it’s so delightful to see your enthusiasm for the history of the chateau. Terry, you have wonderful taste in the furnishings that you got for the chateau. I especially love the gold/cranberry curtains at the entry (right?) and those two chairs there are to die for. Just beautiful! Job well done, guys. Your love for this place is so touching. Blessings to you both.👌🥰🙏

[@daleyounts3426]

Can't wait to see the dinning room completed with all the gorgeous paneling.

[@janharkey5705]

I hope you put a massive wall display of the chateau history with pictures when you've sorted it all out. Like a timeline collage on first floor? For guests to see.

[@carolynellis387]

Great idea to document the Chateau history and also add your own history of photos of your renovation work, old vs modern, loving the Chateau back to full health.

[@candicealambert7900]

@@carolynellis387 I would like to see Asher write a book on the history of the Chateau and the many lords and ladies who have lived there. Count me in on buying your book Asher!!! 😘

[@claracb51]

Thank you all so so much for welcoming us today. It was truly magical to visit, see the chateau and all the progress you have made so far! It is such a beautiful place made all the more wonderful with the love and care you all put into it as a family. Our boys loved playing with Jonathan! We hope we will be able to visit as guests in the future but in the meantime we wish you all the very best for future renovations. Keep going as you're doing a fabulous job ❤️ much love to you all xxx

[@katehobbs2008]

How did you creep up on us! It was a work in progress and suddenly there are magnificent finished rooms! You are so lucky to still have the entire panelling. Maybe gloves when handling the old documents?

[@MsCookiemonster0]

Love seeing the furniture in the rooms. Don't mind the worn walls. Gives the chateau an authentic bare bones look. It shows the character of the place. Loved hearing about the history of the chateau. It really brings the place to life. I liked the lower floor living room with the red carpet and the room upstairs with the brown earthy tones. Gorgeous!

[@glennmcgee1729]

Nice to hear that the local folks are sharing with you the history tied to the chateau and the generations of people connected to it. Hopefully their help and your research will produce photos.

[@annieoconnor9778]

I’m so impressed and proud of the Lalacelle family, what a difference the OG is looking, your hard work ethic is certainly showing, not forgetting the wonderful volunteers. Week on week you can see the difference, unlike other chateau’s.enjoy showing your visitors around, you will see how much you have achieved 🙏🏻

[@katehobbs2008]

The salon looks fabulous, love the couches (canapés). 🇦🇺

[@agapeascension1489]

How wonderful that you are finding more history!

[@glenyshillary4195]

It will be absolutely gorgeous when it's all done.well done guys!

[@robertmusacchio4491]

Terry and Ash this is one of the best episodes ever. Very exciting to see your vision with furniture in place highlighting each room. A look inside, where the majority has been all the work you have done outside. Bravo boys!

[@kerryowen-holmes3719]

The picture you have up looks beautiful just like I think a chateau should be

[@catherinemtc7795]

Truthfully I loved every room. And the furniture is beautiful.

[@angelakilroe3271]

Oh come on you two, how can anyone choose, all the rooms look absolutely beautiful. Terry you’ve certainly got an eye for lovely furnishings and Ash, it’s a treat to hear you compliment Terry. Two smashing guys and I wish you all the luck in the world for your future.

[@loisblais3431]

I am just sitting here thoroughly enjoying the tour of the Chateau. I am so impressed with the beauty and architecture. Look at all the paneling! What a gem. You’ve polished her up spic and span and decorated beautifully . I love the furniture you have purchased and you must be pleased to see it all spread out giving us all the story you want to tell in each room. The dream is taking shape lads! I’m greedy (lol) and want to see more! You all deserve huge hugs and congratulations in creating beautiful homes out of seemingly rubble and dust. Can’t wait to see each room take on its former glory. Take care and blessings from your friends in Canada. ❤️👋🏻

[@matteobarchiesi791]

It really seems like a grand house again with some of the furniture and fittings in place. The chandelier in the grand salon is exquisite and the curtains in the billiard room are beautiful but I think the dining room would have to be my favourite room. I hope the open day goes really well and everyone loves the chateau. Well done for all the work you have all done so far.

[@connierudd6523]

I've been following y'all since the very beginning & look forward to every Sunday and Wednesday just to see what's going on. Was blown away with today's episode & all the decorating you've done. Can't begin to imagine how sore each of you must have been moving all those wardrobes up the many flights of stairs. Best wishes not only to an amazing but, truly loving family. I will continue to cheer you and all your accomplishments on from Empire, MI (USA)

[@AuntieDeb71]

A tantalizing glimpse of that pedestal sink with the cobalt blue design on it - can't wait to see that installed in a beautiful bathroom!

[@TheQueenofDenile]

You and your family have done such an amazing job. I'm so proud of all your hard work! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your restoration journey.

[@katherineleavitt7275]

Dear Terry & Ash, I'm so proud of you for saving this beautiful old lady, She will be absolutely magnificent when you complete your renovations. I love all the beautiful paneling, you are so lucky that the wood worms hadn't destroyed it. Seeing the furniture placed gives all of us the vision of how grand the Chateau once was. God Bless you as you continue to bring the Chateau back to its former glory. Kathy 🇺🇸

[@icandivideos5743]

wow you guys have been BUSY!!! it amazes me what you all do together!

[@robbiemoriarty7499]

The chateau is stunning as/is. I can’t even begin to imagine how lovely it will be once all the walls and floors are restored. The attention to detail. How proud you all must be.

[@sallystites2946]

I am so impressed and proud of what you have accomplished. I love your esthetic. I’m a minimalist so I love your less is best look. Some chateaus are so busy my head explodes. I hope I get to stay there next year. Bravo to all of you.

[@katiemcdonald3562]

How beautiful, you all have a flair for putting a room together❤️

[@kirstynash9765]

cannot wait for this, hope the open weekend went well ❤️

[@terrydiehl3889]

All your hard work is starting to show! Lovely to find out more of the history, as well. Moving forward!!!

[@lozdyer1087]

I Can see why you fell so in love with your chateau. It’s stunning now, I can imagine how beautiful she will be in the future. I love seeing the joy in Ash’s face when he talks about the chateau and it’s history xx

[@gypsy1588]

You did a wonderful job furnishing the rooms. The Grand Salon is my favorite. What I love about the furnishing and their placement, is seeing the ceilings, walls, etc. not finished. I found this to be so beautiful. It is a reminder that even though she is a little rough around the edges, she is still a beautiful grand old lady who has put on some powder, rouge and lipstick to meet her guests. Excellent video.

[@lindanewsome5670]

So beautiful it takes my breath away what a great job everyone has done have a great open house.

[@tzok09]

Just a stunning place and lovely suites. Thank you for the peak at your vision.

[@jonimarchese7655]

The Chateau is starting to come together, the suits are looking wonderful. All your hard work is shining through, well done can't wait for next week's progress. Love from NY.

[@karenmcdonough3614]

It’s lovely to see some of your furnishings in place. My favorite room is the dining room. I can’t wait to see how spectacular it will be when you both are done restoring it. It’s so easy to imagine how welcoming the château will be. You’re a very talented family who finds joy in what you create. That joy comes through to all of us who follow your journey. Can’t wait to see more. Give Patrick an extra hug, he works so hard digging so many holes and following you everywhere. All the best

[@bjbrown6884]

Well now you are dressing that lovely home up and she looks really smart! You have a nice collection of furniture and it does take a while to gather everything and make to your taste. You are doing such a nice job. Happy days coming when the weather cools and projects are easier. Best wishes and great progress. 🥰💕

[@nancyraboin647]

I love how you support each other’s gifts and talents.

[@maggiemaloney8599]

Just glorious! Your choices and vision are so thoughtful and appropriate, as if the Chateau itself is guiding the process. Don't make it too perfect so that it doesn't lose the touch of the centuries of occupants who lived, loved and died there, but their ghosts must be overjoyed to see the love and attention you are giving it. Bravo!

[@turawolfe2841]

The tour makes me think of the pages of Architectural Digest magazine. All the furniture looks like an interior designer was choosing them for each space. Terry has talent. Loved the tour!! Thrilled for your discovery of historical information about your home. I enjoyed the video! Thank you!!

[@candicealambert7900]

Terry is an interior designer in my books. Just look at all the fine furniture and accompanying furnishings he has purchased over the years. He’s certainly earned that distinction. Way to go Terry!!! 😘

[@mauricewright5279]

The support, respect and encouragement that you guys give each other too as husbands is really touching and inspiring!

[@skkppyblrb50]

The grand salon on the main floor took my breath away, it’s stunning and welcoming, great light and proportions. The dining room is another beauty. I like all of your furniture choices, you have a good eye. It’s hard to believe this is the same derelict building you took possession of a couple of years ago. Major kudos to you both. It’s so exciting.

[@kellyprice1024]

Ah boys, it's lovely but I see the work you have to do to bring life and sparkle back. I can see it in my mind's eye, the possibility. 🥰

[@kellyprice1024]

Also, I just learned the Salon is like a Canadian "family room".

[@robinmcv]

You could tie in the red/green with floral decorations, throw pillows, etc. in suite 400. But a solid green or even red wall will overpower the room and close it in. IMO Maybe use 2 tones where the bottom half is neutral and the upper half is red or green or vice versa? I would keep the walls more neutral that ties the theme to the rest of the chateau together for a better cohesive flow. Terry does have a wonderful imagination that is amazing when it becomes reality, so I'm sure he'll find the perfect look for suite 400. The whole chateau is coming alive with all of your hard work. Your family is the perfect example of perseverance and working together as a whole to make your dreams come true.

[@janeblandford852]

The chateau looked beautiful with all of the furniture in the rooms, one can see the potential. Lovely furniture Terry, excellent taste! What a blessing to get those documents....so much history. Well done guys!

[@Randy8923]

It's been thrilling to see the beautiful furniture and accessories in the chateau. One can see the reality of how elegant and grand it will be. Fascinating documents you've been gifted. Enjoyed.

[@robertunderwood3393]

The red and green work together as they are of the same rich dark shade. Love it

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you ☺️

[@sharontibbo2510]

I love so many of the furniture pieces. Having them in the rooms make so much difference in understanding the direction that you are heading

[@cynthiabarnes6818]

Have you considered switching the 401 and 402 salon furniture? I think the plum tones will work with your green fireplace and walls. Love your furniture selections

[@jacquipierce5558]

WOW! What y'all have accomplished in bringing Terry's vision to reality. Terry you're gifted in design and making it happen. Ash, your passion for the history of the chateau is refreshing. Tracy, Tony and Jonathan have accomplished so much too, as have the volunteers. Thank you for sharing your vision of restoring Chateau dela LaSalle. 🌺😊

[@patriciamilnes4793]

Loved my tour around the chateau....you have made it come alive. My favourite room was the 401 suite...I will start saving now for my weekend at Lalacelle!! Hope you have great weekend and enjoy showing everyone all your hard work. X

[@linshannon4480]

The collection of furniture is rather glorious, but if I may share a little giggle. I loved when Ash talking about the size of the bathroom and then the view from it, but rather than pan the camera to the fabulous view, Terry has to show the dainty sink and toilet! I laughed aloud. So cute and funny. Still, it's nice to have a glimpse into where you envision the end results. It's so much easier to imagine now. I found myself looking at the wood paneling and already seeing the gleam from after it receives a little TLC.

[@kathyrogers1703]

It was a wonderful tour. It looks amazing even with just a little of the furniture in the rooms. Thanks for taking those of us who can't travel to you on the tour 🙂!

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thanks Kathy!

[@casscassidy]

It looks amazing I love the dinning room and the stairs

[@thoeset]

I am so impressed with how far you’ve come! Yes, I realize that there is so much still to be done, but wow! Congratulations! I look forward to seeing how you continue to progress.

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thank you so much Teresa

[@wandadunn2907]

Thank you for the tour, Terry & Ash. What a massive job moving all that beautiful furniture in. Whew! I'm ready to book Suite 401 when it's ready. Well done.

[@michaelwhitlinger6678]

I love the 401 suite. The colors and style are beautiful. Can't wait to watch to see how it all looks as you finish each room. Great job guys !

[@ritaqualter9607]

Wow! The whole place looks stunning! You must be extremely proud of yourselves. You are certainly living your dream.

[@FloridaClay]

Especially as I am fond of clocks, I love the garniture sets you have on the mantels.

[@barbarakeegan9516]

That was so interesting. All the rooms are beautiful but my favourite is the salon in Suite 401. So pleased you’ve been given those precious documents. 👏🏻👏🏻😁

[@nettybubba7730]

Never ceases to amaze me what you are doing and what you've done. The furnishings are beautiful and can see how spectacular it will look once you've restored the rooms. Was so excited to see how Ash was gushing with enthusiasm and wide eyed with all the excitement of those new Old documents about the Chateau history. Can see he was in his element with the new discoveries. Thank you for sharing with your mainstream Subscribers ❤

[@paulacorreal1675]

Love the furniture and all the work you have thus far accomplished. Looks wonderful. Huge improvement….

[@graciemaca6996]

It all looks fabulous! If you want the colors in the Salon to be cohesive, you could order some red & green with metallic gold velvet yardage & have long drapes sewn. Then use green bullion tie-backs on the drapes. Use the same red & green with gold velvet to make a mantel runner to tie in the colors. Throw pillows in same fabric & have 1 larger pillow in gold fabric. Get a nice red with green rug. Buy red with green & gold vases, gold candle sticks, etc. By using the tri-color fabrics, accessories & large rug, you will make the room appear harmonious & you won't have to remove or re-paint that cool green wood stove.

[@jeannehoffman1060]

Stunning, absolutely stunning! I cried at the beauty of it all! Blessings to you and your family for all your hard work! I love all the rooms!

[@julieduchek2969]

You were “right on”. When you picked those red chairs. They are stunning in that entryway especially with the gold curtains. Absolutely beautiful 😍

[@ichaconf]

My favorite room is the 401 suite. The purple sitting set is beautiful and the details in the room matching the bed and wardrobe 💜

[@mamab4211]

🥰 I can see the old girl like looking as good as she ever has! 🥰

[@sandyschultz-steele4610]

Must be soOOo satisfying to see your vision come to life! Clearly long road trips to find the perfect compliments for the Chateau are worth it in the end! Thank you for offering this teaser of what's to come. Congratulations on making your dreams a reality and preserving/restoring the grand lady for new generations to admire. Perfect example of hard work and attention to detail ending in great results. Love watching your entire family!

The history and connection with the locals is great. It really feels as th7you have been accepted by the local community. 👏👏. Very impressed by Ash' a French comprehension.

[@y.lelivelt2619]

What nice to see all the furniture in the rooms. For me the dining room is number one! I like the chairs the most in the dining room. You are a good collector Terry. So nice you did find/get those old letters. You must cherrish them Ash. I don't know who made the flower arrangement but I think they are stunning. The simplisity suits the rooms and the whole building. Also outside I saw some vine and other leaves decorating. Great idea!

[@mocarra100]

You guys are one of my favorite channels! I love the chandelier in the Grand salon. Just wait until the walls are painted and Terry completes everything in there it will be perfect. The furniture in the billiard room is gorgeous! And the dining room as well. Can I just say I love Terry's taste on everything! And this Christmas just forget about it everything will be absolutely perfect! Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖PS Every room is going to be beautiful! PSS I think this is probably the most beautiful Chateau that seen of all the chateaus I watch. All I do is smile when I watch your channel 😊

So happy you found so historical info for your chateau. How exciting 🤩 Thanks for sharing 😍😘

[@rayn8740]

Ash's haircut turned out really nice. He looks younger.👨‍🦲 The Chateau looks so amazing compared to when you first went inside not that long ago. It's so easy to glimpse your vision now.🏫 All the furniture pieces you've selected are beautiful.🛏️🪑🕰️⚱️🛋️🛁🚽 I'm still surprised at how many rooms are wood paneled.🚪🚪🚪 The tile in the foyer is so pretty. What a wonderful first impression.🥇 I really can't say which room is my favorite, but it's between the grande salon and the salle à manger. The 401 suite salon looks really inviting. When Terry is "done" using his wonderful powers of design, they'll all be stars.✨ Wow! What a journey this has been so far. Thanks so much for bringing us along for the ride.🏎️ Success, wisdom and good fortune to Team de Lalacelle.🏆🎓🎰
