You guys have such a great aesthetic- honouring the historical significance of the building and making it current simultaneously. SO beautiful, congrats! 🥂

[@Sushi2735]

I am absolutely stunned at how you have repaired that beautiful crumbling ceiling! Shock and awe. You two are just amazingly talented! Besides that, you love kids, critters, and kids, AND Brittany France. The wallpaper is perfect and a cozier family room you could not have created. I’m dying to see what you do with the large salon. Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@dennisheinen7009]

The room is stunning! You did an awesome job on the decor!

[@janeblandford852]

Oh my goodness, your room is absolutely stunning....so tastefully done, calm and relaxing. Love it!! Well done!!

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thank you :)

[@gailwarshaw7388]

I can not imagine the amount of time, effort, and elbow grease you put into restoring the ceiling, but I can tell you that it looks absolutely stunning. I love the fact that you have honored the beauty and craftsmanship of the room's design while making it a comfortable place for a family to hang out. Well done. Enjoy it in good health.

[@candyphillips2642]

You did a fantastic job! It's beautiful! I love your eclectic decorating style. I love Foxy. Love to you & all the furbabies! ❤

[@brendapinckney538]

Congratulations. Very Hard work "pays off"🎉

[@elizabethheatley22]

The room is simply gorgeous! I love the juxtaposition of the contemporary furniture with the very decorative mouldings and ceiling, and the odd antique piece added to the mix. It’s sophisticated, and liveable. The wallpaper is also beautiful. Well done!

[@cindyconlisk1062]

The room looks wonderful. I love your mix of furnishings. The colors in the marble fireplace are really cool. You two did a fantastic job.

[@barbaracannon4870]

Edith Ann! The petite salon looks wonderful! A great family gathering spot. Well done!

[@eelmoregoirish]

Yall did a wonderful job! I really love that you decorated it to be lived in and not like a museum.

[@gillianmarsberg2339]

I see the cats have given you their seal of approval. We are a huge cat family as well as there’s nothing better than happy cats lounging and bringing their peaceful (well sometimes peaceful 😂) presence into a room

[@AliciaZiegler-g3r]

I was delighted to savor your new room! I love how you brought out the color from the fireplace to the rug!

[@ronaldhorton2438]

The room is beautiful. Your choice of colors and textures are lovely. My honest opinion, I agree with Lincoln. The fox should have never left the store. Sorry, I realize it's not my room. Thank you for showing us. 🎉❤🎉

[@ronaldhorton2438]

I live in San Francisco!😊

[@maurawhelan3530]

I like the sparing use of wallpaper. It is very nice and not necessary on all walls. You two should be so proud of all your hard work!

[@kenmichellewilson3644]

Wow! I love how your room turned out, elegant, not stuffy, cat friendly, love the gallery wall, colours are perfect…..not crazy about Foxy but he certainly adds interest!!

[@kristietoothfairy]

I can’t imagine how painstaking and exhausting it was to paint and repair the walls and ceiling of this massive room!!! It turned out to be so lovely and the combination of modern and antique details adds much interest to the mood of the room. Bravo to you both! I’m happy I discovered your channel and I look forward to seeing many more!

[@tuhesse]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS ROOM. It screams your personalities! ( and I’m not modern and love it). So great you guys!!

[@mistygeller3193]

Oh my goodness it’s amazing!! It is so perfectly imperfect and feels so gathered over time, warm, cozy and you feel like you can put your feet on the furniture even though it’s also so very classy and beautiful!! You rock!

[@nativetexson]

Well done. The room looks inviting and comfortable. The couch is a riff on a Florence Knoll couch from the 60s and is a perfect mix of traditional and modern in one piece of furniture. I hope you guys enjoyed a Manhattan or a martini while sitting there. Cheers! 🍸🍸

[@kylieharrison3782]

Try kicking off your shoes and sitting cross legged in the couch. ❤❤❤

[@kathyowens6075]

Amanda , your new room is absolutely gorgeous ! I love and appreciate your eclectic style . I also love to mix the traditional with modern. You and Lincoln are such a great team.

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

Wowza! The room turned gorgeous. I see American influence in the dressing of this very French in space!Repurposing the stone slabs as radiator covers was genius!! Hugs from Minnesota, Doc❤

[@YbellaDavies]

Love the way your style has evolved to more reflect your French chateau setting. Cannot wait to see your kitchen.

[@greenb5716]

Love the mix of styles. Great art work too!! ❤❤

[@paulalusk5586]

The petit salon is, very nice. I like the way you blended old with newer. The wallpaper is beautiful. Amanda, you did a wonderful job on the ceiling.

[@wayneNtampa]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the room, especially the wallpaper. It's beautiful and subtle, contributing to the room's aesthetic without overwhelming.

[@thecroftericmiller496]

You guys are amazing and what you’ve created has been exceptional Just imagine this house when it’s completely finished It’s worth will be phenomenal, and the lifelong memories and education it provides will be priceless

[@susiepotgieter5232]

Hi Amanda and Lincoln, the petit salon, is beautiful. Everything, from the repairs to the wallpaper, the floors, "Perfetto", I absolutely love it. Well done. Love from N.Y..

[@swhite3883]

Awesome job Lincoln & Amanda! Classic look - antiquity, modern & whimsy all working together with color perfection….you guys are pros 👏🏻❤️

[@mollieanne]

Oh my gosh!!!! I have purged watched all of your videos this week and to see this one is new I am so excited to watch!!! Lincoln looking behind the wall looked like he was performing a colonoscopy lol The room looks fabulous! I love the fox on the mantle. Did you name your fox yet? Maybe name him/her Foxy Loxy

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@mollieanne]

very much@@OurFrenchChateau

[@uppityupshaw]

You all did a great job! The wallpaper is stunning and the mix of traditional and modern is a perfect mix!

[@katefrancis7476]

Oh my gosh! Your way of decorating is so perfect for your beautiful house!!! What a comfortable room. ❤ Great job!!

[@phyllisburrell8661]

Really like the way you avoid brandishing everything with glitzy gold ! Less is more ! Avoiding looking like Liberace's palace. Good choices of colours and understated glamour.

[@suzyq555]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@marciadynes7628]

The room is beautiful love that wallpaper your hard work has paid off looks like a very comfortable family room the repair work you should be so proud of how it looks ! Lovley

[@catherineteglasi]

Absolutely Beautiful 👏🤍🖤🏰 A Wonderful blend of Antiques and Modern Elements. Compliments on fantastic execution and hard work. A Delight to the eyes 👀

[@alpal6300]

What a beautiful room! I love the simplicity and eclecticism with which you’ve decorated it. That red and grey carpet brings it all together. Thank you. I’ve done my own fixer upper house that was about a fourth the size of yours. Take breaks when you need to. Enjoy life between the fixits. ❤

[@Jana-wz7dr]

Lovely. The salon looks comfy and unpretentious yet it is a wow. Love the 25eu table and the heads with plants.

[@eightiesallen3180]

Looks great! Love the ceiling above all.

[@heidishedlock-acreativelife]

It looks amazing! Love the mix of modern and antique. Well done on all the hard work, it certainly paid off! Stunning room, love the pops of colour.

[@susanwebb8247]

Not sure why you would hide such a beautiful fireplace , ,,!!!!!!!!!!

[@gillianmarsberg2339]

Well done you two. What a glorious achievement. It’s beautiful

[@nancyhauge9500]

Lincoln is right about the couch! Needs to be a bed in a guest room! Nice job on the reno!😅

[@pamelac.410]

A home is made up of things you like and love and maybe some you don't really like but marriage is a compromise so... but that is what makes it yours and unique and special. Your room is lovely

[@louiselewis5061]

Your hard work has paid off. The room looks beautiful-love, love, love the wallpaper. Very well done! Now, relax and enjoy!

[@janisblack2183]

I love that petit salon! One room at a time, I admire your attention to detail and your perseverance. You are both dedicated, hard working and judging by this room your efforts will be rewarded. You sold me for being so true grit going up the ladder and manually digging with the sod cutter. Of course you are like minded, and Lincoln has his many talents also. ❤😊

[@chriswolf3248]

It’s astoundingly gorgeous! Raising a glass of Viognier to you and Lincoln from my lap cat and me. C’est un chambre fantastique!

[@marilynleslie472]

All your hard work has paid off! The petite salon is lovely!

[@KiwiBabz]

Oh wow you guys. This room is very beautiful. Take a bow. 👏👏👏

[@Rebelhomeland]

The workmanship on the ceiling walls & woodwork as well as the doors & windows are all so amazing. Love the wallpaper & the old piece of furniture. The design choices are unique & as all good specific decorators of one's own taste interesting to say the least. I'm sure if anyone looking at my choices they would say what my Father said. If you like it, it's beautiful. The amount of work you 2 are putting in these projects is extraordinary! I just ran on to your channel & am mesmerized & can hardly stop watching! It's 2 days until Christmas & there is so many more things I should be doing! ❤

[@brenhen702]

I wholeheartedly agree, Foxy is the best piece in the room. The color palette is ideal, and you achieved the right mix of old and new styles for a wonderful balance! C’est tres, tres jolie!

[@stephaniesnape6787]

Please give Foxy a decent burial. A headstone would be nice.

[@tamaradekold5840]

Lots of hard work..it paid off!!! Beautiful and very interesting..I like it when there's so many points of interest...not a boring room and so many beautiful details ..I also love mixing old with new...enjoy the room!

[@michaelwieneke1992]

Congratulations to you both, what an accomplishment. The salon has really transformed into an exceptionally beautiful space.

[@susanm8957]

Hi from Florida. I absolutely love the wallpaper. It must feel so good to have completed this room😊That ceiling was a beast, but you did it, nice work I must say. Can't wait to see what you tackle next!❤

[@marypeck4331]

Hi there, I enjoy watching your hard work, before and after videos. You must feel relieved when you have completed a beautiful room, so you can sit down and just look at the beautiful delails and views. I love your paint choices, well done.

[@Insidescoop2U]

Lincoln always looks like he’s going out somewhere nice! 😂 he’s so fashionable! Like the James Bond of remodeling.

[@FemaleVillageElder]

The room is beautiful, and the mirror over the fireplace looks to be a right size, not too small at all. It is gorgeous. You guys have done a great job.

[@rayn8740]

The graffiti of the older woman with a pistol is reminiscent of the iconic San Francisco film "What's Up Doc" by Peter Bogdanovich. The scene takes place at a reception in an exquisite Victorian mansion and the bespectacled old lady with the pistol is a maid at the party where chaos ensues. Brilliant film by a brilliant director, with an equally talented ensemble cast, where Streisand, O'Neil and Kahn battle it out for the most outstanding performance. They are magical. In addition to his homage to his all time favorite directors, he pays honor to the City by the Bay like none other before or since. The graffiti makes me smile because it reminds me of a hilarious scene in movie that is, in my opinion, perfect. I laughed from the beginning to the end. How fortunate to have captured something so fleeting and evocative.

[@espnmk]

Absolutely love the bust for a pot that's where my eye was drawn to as soon as you put the finishing touches, of course the rest of the room is done beautifully from the wall paper to the nicely set pictures and backstories and the fox haha what a find. Nice job on the T.V. mounting everyone just wants those ugly cables stowed away from sight but can never be achieved thats professionally done Lincoln. Thanks for Sharing...

[@gardencreated]

Looking very very stylish. Must be feeling great to finish such a big job on the list though. Modern and the old is perfect. Do love it all but particularly love that wall paint you chose. 🎉

[@dscott8799]

The room looks amazing. You must be so happy now it is finished.

[@jackiedecoster5527]

Absolutely fabulous! I share your fondness for mixing traditional with contemporay. I love everything about this room! Edith Ann would love the sofa too! Enjoy!

[@MamaVee50]

Stunning, yet still cozy and welcoming. ❤

[@marypeck4331]

The wallpaper, is just beautiful you have chosen well.

[@observer1256]

You have a great eye for paint colors. Love the paint colors in the room with the green doors.

[@Coopsterish]

I like y’all’s style. Beautifully decorated and best of all - superbly edited!

[@lindahaines9299]

Honoring the past while instilling new life. A very successful restoration.!

[@MarthasMuWz]

Beautiful! The Petite Salon is a perfect blend of modern and classical. The use of neutrals with color pops grounded on the dark chevron floor and pink Persian rug are so restful and fun at the same time. Bravo!

[@elsaboschetti9750]

You Guys are amazing talented; your must be so proud of each other. Your make awesome team! Every single video was full of great projects that kept the entire history so much interesting to wait for what is coming. Big congratulations for such a beautiful job!!🎉♥️🎊❤️

You did a awesome job on all the painting and the wall paper.

[@jean-philippeplanas9682]

Just an outstanding job. You are both so talentend.

[@sandywallace218]

Amanda, Lincoln you should be so proud of this room, it reminds me so much of the SF Victorian restorations to more more modern times and life styles including the plaster moldings which are beautiful congratulations to you both.

[@lolodee3528]

Excellent job mixing modern in with great skill and care. Daunting task. That ceiling! Like fancy frosting on a cake. And the handsome colors are wonderful.

[@AP-wq9dv]

Beautiful 🇨🇦

[@deborahpatterson6356]

You are a credit to yourself, well done Mum your children must be proud of you, beautiful ❤❤❤❤

[@pennybrashears9676]

Stunning!

[@annalee8354]

The room is facing the wrong way I think

[@Hannalie62]

Their focus is the TV... not the fireplace

[@glasshalffull4831]

Congrats...beautiful job! One down and xxx to go! Best wishes from Indianapolis IN.

[@sue7190]

Stunning ❤ Stylish, yet comfortable. Love the juxtaposition ofmodern and classic architecture and older pieces. Also like that it represents you. 😊

[@nospin1394]

WOW! Très magnifique. Congratulations on the fruits of your labor and then,then have to direct, produce and edit a video on top of that, that’s exhausting in itself. Something to really be proud of guys. Thanks for allowing us into your lives on a weekly basis.

[@SJ-wf3lp]

Gorgeous! Just beautiful! All your hard work has definitely paid off! Well done!

[@Reeflections]

WOW WOW WOW! I love how this turned out! This is awesome ❤️✝️🙏🏻

[@D60454]

Beautiful, amazing job! Im so impressed with all the work you've done. Please dont listen to the armchair critics, I sincerely doubt "they" could handle painting 1 wall let alone renovating an entire chateau, 1 room at a time.

[@wixom01]

So chateau! Love it.

[@potterkelly487]

Amanda, love your room transformation, cozy and comfortable. The rug brings it all together, gorgeous.❤️❤️🇨🇦😊

[@maryporter3637]

Great style and work , really tasteful well done the sofa is gorgeous

[@iu.5146]

The room turned out great. I love your elegant, eclectic style. Are you going to wax the floors or put on some Osmo? Some cream, natural silk or linen curtains would look pretty. Can’t wait to see what room you tackle next.

[@heliedecastanet1882]

Dear Amanda and Lincoln, congratulations 🙂 The Petit salon is really charming. You made an amazing work and… It worked ! 🙂 Elegant, discreet, cozy. Bravo !
