The little table is by Maitland-Smith which is a high-quality American company founded by an antique dealer from London and located in North Carolina (our furniture center). Your table is a vintage piece, no longer in production. Looks great in the study.

[@TheChateauDiaries]

They sold other Maitland Smith pieces in the auction, including their doll house cocktail bars. They looked incredible, but they were too expensive for us

[@colleennobbs7218]

The joke at the beginning about putting a carnivorous fish in the lake and Mummy’s influence was laugh out loud funny. 😂 Thank you for this adventure, it was lovely. I loved the old shop with all of the fabrics, so rich in color and texture. Looking forward to see the set up of the bedroom.! How’s the Grand Salon coming along? Have you fixed the settling problem yet. Thanks for taking “me” along with you. ❤ You should make a Chateau Cookbook, even with recipes that are similar to what you eat abroad that you enjoy. 🎉

Staying at Château de LaLande was a wonderful dream come true for me. I had a hint what was going to be changing in Bonne Maman and it was exciting news. Who knew how exciting the new furnishings were. The Royals had slept on these furnishings when they stayed in Italy. I loved Bonne Maman. It did feel as if I was in a very special room for grandmothers. I certainly have that title.

[@TheChateauDiaries]

We had such a lovely time with you, Suellen! And Philip was saying how much he enjoyed his time in La Chatre with you ❤️

[@cliffhorman6846]

How lovely you stayed there.

This is such peak Stephanie, go into a store and use trying on dress as an excuse to look at the fabric on the changing room walls. I love it.

Congratulations Stephanie on the buy of a century and the bonus free wall fabric! Good things happen to good people!

It's been a while since we heard anything about the major structural repairs above the Grand Salon. Didn't you have to tear down some walls before putting in new support beams?

Yes, we do, in the two bedrooms above the grand salon. We’ve just received the structural report and I’ll be talking about it in Sunday’s video

[@ehpeachylove]

WOW! What an exciting trip you both took us on Stephanie and Phillip. That bedroom furniture is glorious and beautiful. Well done . That drive across France to Italy was so beautiful. Never too old to learn something else and that tunnel amazing. Venice looks amazing. Thank you for the ride along.

You’re so lucky to be able “pop” over to Venice for just a few days. The furniture and fittings are amazing. I can’t believe you got those dressers and dressers so cheap. They’re beautiful. What an incredible bonus to get all the extra fabric. You’re going to have fun with them.

I love the bedding,but I’m not sure how well it marries with the new bathroom renovations? But I’m sure whatever you decide will work out.

[@TheChateauDiaries]

I’m wondering too, we’re working on paint colours to marry the two rooms

[@jennifercampbell7698]

Perhaps some paintings and accessories like vases, flower arrangements, some cushions and even Thor’s spare feathers that marry the colour schemes together?

[@jennifercampbell7698]

Loved your journey to Vienna! You and Philip seem to ring out all the fun and joy of whatever you do, even a delivery pick up trip! Of course Vienna contributed to it all! The train ride was spookily magical and yes, like a fairground ride. The fabrics and food looked fabulous and your furniture and fabric buys AMAZING! 💋💋 And those Dolce and Gabbana dresses and shoes! Well a girl can dream! ♥️♥️ Sigh!

[@bigboy77dk]

​@@TheChateauDiariesI know, I'm late.. But I think the yellow of the fabric works better with the pink in the bathroom, than the yellow on the walls in Bonne mamman, because they are both equally "clear", if that makes sense. And what the two patterns have in common, is the green. I do realize, that the green in the fabric, and the back of the bedcrown, is way more "dusty", than the lightest green in the bathroom, but I think, if you could find a green, that would work with both rooms, then there is your solution 😊

Maria finishing the video playing the piano beautifully, you all dancing in the kitchen was the end highlight. Thank you so much for sharing this. Just a little tip Stephanie, I always carry a small flat packet at the bottom of my handbag of hand wipes, these remove any stain immediately on silk, cashmere or wool and cotton. Just hold the wipe into the stain to wet it a minute then gently wipe the stain from outside edge to centre, it will dry in a few seconds with the stain completely gone. From me with a tendency to be a messy eater being vision impaired. 💕🇦🇺

I agree with you it is better to fill the Chateau with pieces fitting for its style and age. Some Chateau renovations are very sad when they make them look like slick modern hotels.

It's so fun to see you enjoying that train for cars. Being swiss, I used to take that train at least once a year going on holidays with my family, and I've never even stopped to think twice about it being special. I remember seeing people leaving their cars once or twice during the years. My mother would always lock the car doors, so we children wouldn't get any ideas.
