Hidden For DECADES In The Chateau GROUNDS???

[@hullabaloo-hcd]

Terry don't worry about people's opinions on your Chateau. It's your Chateau you can do whatever you want with it. throughout the ages people have been painting their homes different colours including the French. Your Chateau looks amazing, you can be super proud

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🙏☺️

I agree. Do what you feel is right for you. ❤

[@clairewright8153]

I totally agree as a person who loves white I think you’re doing a stella job.

[@judycole854]

I agree it’s up to them, but Terry did ask for his viewers opinions, and that’s all they are.

[@pamelkamah6307]

Terry asked for points of view.!

[@lindaedwards6683]

It really helps to have an expert digger at work who really knows his stuff. Thank goodness for Patrick!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Haha. Too right 🥰

[@wakahere]

He’s such a good little helper and he’s so cute ❤

[@BarbB56]

The lamps look great and very much in keeping with the rest of the metal work. Are you going to make the pond part of the fountains deeper? Also wondering how you prevent the decorative pieces from sticking to the silicone in the molds. Little Patrick did a brilliant job . He would make a great truffle hunter 😊 . X

[@brendacooper8109]

I think the lamp post looks beautiful they would not look right without the gold I hope when you go to do the fountains you dig them back out as deep as they was I believe you will find a cobblestone bottom and I just love how Ash took so much time with Patrick that was the best part of the video that was the sweetest time taking time with Patrick

[@susannystrom-marshall9437]

For a dog with hardly any legs, Patrick is a fabulous archaeologist. A little detector beeper on his collar and he could explore for treasure all day x

Hi terry, I just have to say, I think you worry to much what other people think. This is your home do what feels right to you and Ash and Tracy. Don’t let the nay sayers have any power over you and your family and property. You have sooooooooo much to be proud of. Your unlimited creativity, your talents and skills your drive and passion. Be proud and don’t let anyone tell how to do you. Thx for having this channel. I’ve watched every episode from day one. It would be great to visit someday. Continued to be blessed and share your dream.

My personal opinion is your vision is what is best! You don't owe anyone else an explanation of what you want for your home! Your vision is amazing and we are all just along for the ride!!!!! I love everything you do and I totally trust that you and the family are going to honor the history of this lovely home!!! Plus Patrick makes my day and watching him dig is absolutely my favorite thing!!!

I've driven past the chateau over the last 22yrs & it has never looked bright & loved. But now it's looking beautiful again, & she's been given her life back again & so noticable from the road now. You must follow your hearts how you restore her again. Xxx

Terry, the lampposts look perfect! Don't let the detractors discourage you. You have the right touch.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

The chateau is now YOURS, that means YOU get to choose what works for you and what doesnt. ITS YOUR HOME. Choose whatever makes you happy. Its not a musuem, its a home.

[@NatMCI]

Terry, you are 100% keeping with the period. The actual building may be period, but with the years, excluding the tower, fixtures and fittings goes through stages of preference of the owners, previous and current. I love the current restorations and bringing to life a period building!!!!

[@girlnorthof60]

Terry looked hilarious holding the drill in the air 😂 Imagine Patrick wearing a Phil Harding hat 🤠 "Hurry up, we've only got 3 days." (to locate a Roman bathhouse in the fountain) As for the outdoor accent colours... perfect. You'll get no argument from me. Cheers everyone ☕ Pat ❤x

[@alc7020]

Lord Patrick has the skill of detecting ❣️ you are the masters of t your domain and you’re doing fine.

[@joycehauke6027]

Patrick was so cute helping you did . And if you wanted to paint everything rainbow colours you can it's your home and if you like it that's all that counts. Not that you would paint it like that you have better taste 😊

[@tondakremble6660]

White is the right choice & the addition of some gold on all the pieces & parts brings it all together to make it cohesive & most importantly fitting & elegant! It's gonna look fantastic! Awesome restoration Terry & Tracy! & lets not forget Sir Patrick's efforts at the fountain 👏. Jobs well done all.😉

Thanks Brenda 🥰

[@PhyllisLeggett-yq9vr]

Terry, Ash and Tracy. You continue to amaze. I was for the white post with some trim, just to break up the starkness of white outside. The use of your gold is a constant for you. You don’t stray. I also enjoy watching Ash enjoying himself, at least that is how it is appearing on the video. Whether working with the molds or using the detector, it comes across as fun. Another lovely day. See you tomorrow.

[@kathrynriggs2489]

Personally, I love the gold touches, very understated. And I love Sir Patrick, he's a doll!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Kate 🥰

[@skupachk]

I think the lamp posts look great - and as long as you are happy with them no one elses opinion matters. Me personally I love them, and I would have gone further and painted the band immediately below the shades gold as they are a different white and it would break that up a little. I trust Terry's vision for the Chateau, everything you have done so far has looked beautiful.

[@catherinelee3298]

Ash, what a good little helper you have. ❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

He’s great 🥰🥰

[@gingerellison2497]

You’re right, Terry, you’re not aiming for a 1700’s restoration of the chateau it’s your turn to make it your own. I love the white accents everywhere. It makes the chateau look clean and inviting. I also really like the gold on the lampposts. I was surprised, frankly, that so many people thought they should be plain white (boring!)

[@lorispencer2046]

The color and design choices that you all make arev the things that make you happy. I don't recall any of you stating that you're going to restore the chateau to it's original look. You all have done a phenomenal job thus far. Terry, you have a wonderful eye for design, and I wouldn't lose any sleep over the ones saying, "That's not correct". The lamp posts look great, and I agree that the gold accents we needed. ❤

Yout Château your choices. No point doing something because it fits a cerrtain period of time.

[@TheCrowsNest1950]

Hi Tracy, Terry & Ashe, You are right there has to be some continuity with all the out door elements of the Chateau. Trim, gates, lamp posts all need to be white with varying amounts of gold. Outside less is more when it comes to accenting with gold, it's different than how it can and should be used inside the Chateau. Mark & Scott

[@michellewilliamson449]

Tracy could have taken a break and let Lord Patrick do all the digging, lol! I think the accents you put on the light poles and tops worked perfectly, just right , in fact. How lovely to come upon finds wherever you dig!❤

[@jlebo001]

Totally agree with all the comments about not worrying about what strangers' opinions about your paint choices are. The people who are criticizing are not there helping save a chateau from certain ruin. You, Ash and Tracy and all the others who come to help Lalacelle are heroes. I quite like the temporary pillars and pineapples in the dry fountain. They give a sense of dimension to what is coming when you decide to invest in fountains! I was watching Stephanie's videos over at The Chateau Diaries, and they have had to have a lot of remedial work done on the fountain they reinstated in their central courtyard. It is a lovely fountain, but apparently the stone mason who installed it accidentally used the wrong type of stone for the base, and the force of the pounding water has caused the stone to chip and large pieces were coming off. They've had to have that stone repaired and clad in some kind of protective coating. They also were discussing the cost-benefit of having a more expense pump mechanism put into place to cut down on maintenance. They were considering one that had a self-cleaning filter, because if they went with a cheaper one, they would have had to clean the filter every week or two. Good info, I thought. Things I wouldn't have thought of researching, given I know nothing about fountains!!! Anyway, good luck with it all. You guys are great!

Every generation puts there own stamp on their home and can you imagine if someone had told the earlier owner that he couldn't have a tower because it didn't originally have one !!!! As long as you all like it then that's as it should be. The people telling you that you are wrong probably wouldn't have the bravery or skills to take on such a huge project so just ignore them.
