Upholstery Chair & Salon reveal - How to renovate a Chateau (Without killing your partner) Ep. 5

[@lorrainemotter1903]

Anybody who crafts is always very protective of the sewing scissors. Philipp is a very good off the cuff joker. You two are a very good balance. Lovely. Great job on the upholstery. Philipp is so funny!

@@CuriousCalligrapher I would have done the same thing with the school.

[@RussiaIsARiddle778]

Before I had a sewing space in my home, I tied small bits of fabric to the handles of my sewing scissors so that no one would use them for anything else.

[@lorrainemotter1903]

@@RussiaIsARiddle778 I have a small sewing box and always kept them in there in a safe place. I was lucky as the kids got older, they did not mess with them.

[@lisaperez8276]

The reaction when your husband claims to have used the fabric scissors for something else is 💯. “Used them to cut what?!?”

[@chasethecat3839]

His flowers for arrangements? Oh wait, he broke his off by hand lol

[@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm]

"How we wasted our time on partying, going to the cinema... Why would you do that if you could stretch fabric on an old vintage chair". You made me laugh here so hard - these were exactly our thoughts when we bought our old abandoned farm 😂 New hobbies, new skillset we all gonna master...

[@lianegordon971]

Yes so reminiscent of our lives. We have done several houses up over the years (no Chateau though) and the conversations goes along the lines of 'Friday, Saturday nights do you remember those? Dancing, eating out. Lazy Sunday mid mornings eating yum-cha with friends'. All gone, even if you wanted to go out you are too knackered. Enjoy the ride, your house is so beautiful.

[@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm]

Thanks, Liane, I love it a lot 🥰 I expect a bumpy ride but it is our own choice 😁

[@nancylaponzina8272]

What you have created and transformed in only some 20+ months is amazing and shows your dedication and serious application of steady effort. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the painting of the Salon that beautiful green, and your first-time upholstery attempt. The rooms are tastefully elegant, clean, refined, uncluttered and welcoming! Lovely!

Today we bought a late 19th century chair that was just professionally reupholstered and glad we-did! Looks like quite the challenge.

[@marissabulso6439]

I cannot believe how well you upholstered that chair! The care you put into the details even after all the trouble it gave you was straight up inspiring. I ADORE the color story in the evening salon. Those little touches of coral red are so lovely.

As a owner of a upholstery shop here in US. Try to find a books on reupholstery. Always pul the back fabric down to frame . You need better scissors that hold up a good blade. We put a black dust cover on the bottom. You picked the hardest chairs to upholsterer. You did a great job .

So fresh & updated, without losing the heart & historic lines of the property. My goodness, that's talent... and excellent taste.

[@autumnwind2699]

You should definitely hold a historical fundraiser/ball once the chateau is finished. People could come dressed in period costumes from the 18th-century or 19th. It would be my dream to attend something like this. Unfortunately, Canada doesn't really have old chateau's, well, at least not near where I live.

[@alicegoldenvalley]

That’s an amazing idea, after the pandemic they could sell tickets for people who would like to attend 😄 it would also be great publicity for their chateau.

Bravo Anna pour votre incroyable travail sur ces fauteuils et canapés. Vous m'avez donné envie de me lancer dans l'aventure ! Et bravo aussi à Philipp pour sa journée de dur labeur :D :D Mais je trouve que c'est un repos bien mérité quand je vois tout le travail que vous avez déjà effectué en si peu de temps. Nous avons habité longtemps à Paris et le magasin Reine à Montmartre était mon repère pour les tissus. J'y ai passé des heures et dépensé des fortunes... :D Votre adorable petite me rappelle la mienne au même âge. Profitez-en, les enfants grandissent tellement vite ! La mienne a maintenant bientôt 17 ans et son petit frère 15 ans ce samedi qui vient... Quelle belle vie vous leur offrez ! J'ai hâte de lire un livre au coin du feu dans l'un de ces beaux fauteuils. A bientôt

I am happy that Anna had a lovely break around Paris shopping/looking at fabrics. You are very dedicated in re-decorating and restoring the gorgeous chateau. One of my favourites! Keep going, it will all be worth the effort, not an easy challange!

I used to shop in the same area all the time when I was a flight attendant for a major US airline. Such great bargains. I found and made silk drapes and valance and coordinating sheers for my master bedroom. Getting 26 yards of silk home in my carry on luggage was a real trick, but so worth it. I miss Paris so much!

Anna, we are a large group of friends of mixed nationalities living here in France, we all have been watching the various Chateau programmes but we have all come up with the same conclusion yours is SIMPLY THE BEST. The quality of décor and accessories you have added FABULOUS. The one department you fail in, is Advertising your Chateau location it took ages to find it on the web. On future programmes get the name in lights!! All the best this year you deserve ir.

[@nadinetasmania]

Red wine and watching the chair! "wouldn't it have been easier if there wasn't stripes?" Umm me drinking wine - yep, I think so! LOL The saga of "the good scissors" it started in my childhood with a dressmaker mother, I used them for paper and cardboard - it's universal - everyone starts out with great scissors and ends up with multi purpose blunt ones. "where is my wine"...I have mine! The struggle with the chair - it looks amazing. I am inspired. I have 6 dining chairs to tackle the seats with a staple gun and fabric. Good humour seems to be the necessary skill to tackle anything - you two have it! Done the years of parties, cafes, endless travel - I am laying gravel, painting, and soon covering chairs..life has never been so good! Love ya both x
