From what I can tell and see, all of their subs are quite talented.

[@mariamysoul]

I wish you had put floor heating, in the winter you would really love it.

[@notaxo.1385]

is it actually good?

[@kristinathorsen625]

@@notaxo.1385 I love it :-) Smells really nice all day long, easy to use and each container keeps well. Lots of different scents to choose from too.

[@daisy9910]

Loved the broody 1970's music when Philip was bring out the mega-mulcher.

[@TesseractDome]

This Master tile layer is cutting marble diagonals by hand. Magnificent to watch.

[@adapa22]

And those little tiles without using spacers! A genuine Master !

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

Did you notice the tiles that go “ under” the wall to the water closet ? Perfection!

[@col8547]

But no mask when cutting, a lifetime of that and he'll get Silicosis!! :-(

[@moo8698]

@@adapa22 Not a master. I told them to not allow this guy to do this "tiling". It's horror. The cabin walls are horrible. Uneven gaps, tiles sticking out left and right, cuts had to be longer and longer on the sides because of this. The floor? Have you guys seen a proper floor? What he is doing is proper lazy, unprofessional work. The guy doesn't care about gaps, level or anything. That's why he doesn't use proper tools. I literally don't understand how can anything be ok with a bad work. If you take your time and look at how the shower cabin's walls look like.. At 7:51 tiles sticking out, uneven gaps.. Seriously..

[@Sgirl]

​@@barbaralamoreaux328Wow, good eye and truly amazing work!

[@lisaakinlabi]

The gentleman who laid the tiles did a fantastic job! The result looks wonderful.

[@harjinderkaur8971]

The tiler is so meticulous. It’s a treat to watch someone so good at their trade. Bathroom looks fabulous

[@Matthewtrombone]

Philipp in a mood with the music this week

[@katiesfarmhouse]

Yes- the tile-laying music was peculiarly suspenseful!

[@Harry-fk5of]

Switching it up with a bit of film-noir jazz

[@akaanastasie]

Sounded a bit like something from Philippe Sarde but it's "Dusk" from Rotem Cinamon. The music is so interesting in these vids that I always keep Shazam handy!

[@user-fu8ub2rj6q]

Yes, it was very moody music 😂

[@jessicad83]

Right!? 😂

[@peacenow4456]

BOYS... ALWAYS FOLLOW ANNA'S DESIGN VISION, SHE HAS an instinct for what's needed... like the spot on period esthetic.

[@kindlydude]

It's GORGEOUS!!! 💓💯👍

[@janewilmer9276]

This is a timelessly, elegant look. Good choice.

[@cherylrleigh1912]

This gentleman is truly a master of his craft. I once dated someone back in the 1980s who specialized in cutting granite for commercial buildings, and let me tell you, it's a skill that takes years to truly master.

[@Django44]

And granite is much harder to work with. It registers ~ 6-7 on the Mohs scale; while marble ~ 3.

[@purpurina5663]

I find it incredible, comforting and beautiful that in this day and age some things are still better down by a person working with their hands, kneeling down no less. Cheers to that gorgeous bathroom and Monsieur tiler.

[@susangyorky2110]

Fabulously traditional and chic! I love marbled floors in that diamond pattern. It never ages.

[@americaneclectic]

Very rich, classy look to the tile floor!!

[@ValeriaVincentSancisi]

Truly!

[@cltransler]

The floor looks amazing! The tiler is a total pro... as is the painter. What I love about France is that they encourage and train people in the different trades. My brother in law is a painter in France, his son--my nephew--is a boulanger, and my husband was a chef. They actively keep these arts alive by training their people at an early age, as they recognize the value these trades ad to society.

[@sophieruiterkamp7532]

also philip your choice of music.. the ominous jazz, while the tile layer was working his magic, it is just perfect.

[@maryacton6046]

Absolutely agree!! Wonderful music choice 🎼🎶

[@anacabeca]

The perfectionism of this tiler is admirable.

[@IntuitiveCoachTheresa]

Very very beautiful. Perfect for the chateau. Congratulations to your tiler. Please let him know how many viewers love it!

[@TheKerokitty]

I am with Anna in loving the matte look over the glossy. The matte feels very classic. I wonder if you could get a riser to fit under the door that matches the tile. We have them in a few places where the floor is thicker and it helps with the tripping dangers of an abrupt transition.

[@evercuriousmichelle]

I was just thinking a riser would be perfect! A wood one could work too maybe?

[@tarafoley6030]

Exactly what's needed ... Aviod stubbed toes @ all costs!

[@susanrussell8195]

Yes, I hope they do something other than leaving it as a step.

[@susanrussell8195]

I agree that a matte finish would be more aesthetically pleasing and more period correct. With a gloss finish, it would scream 1980’s or 1990’s. (Had to add the 19 because of the age of the chateau. lol)

[@belladawna5014]

I was wondering if I should start praying for their toes ;)

[@kokopop4896]

I absolutely loved the music you used in this week’s video, I just felt that it needed to be said. Everyone is likely to comment on those beautiful tiles and of course, the skill of the guy who laid them, but the music you used really made it for me. Thank you for using it.

[@HowToRenovateAChateau]

Thank you so much!

[@maryacton6046]

My sentiments exactly 😊

[@teresecox4109]

My family owned a Tile Company that my grandfather started in the 1950s. Several generations of the men in my family have been tile setters. Brothers, cousins, uncles. It’s great watching such a talented person install such artwork!!

[@kitkahley2575]

The music, evocative of mid-century ennuie, sets a nostalgic mood.

[@ValeriaVincentSancisi]

Yes the correct term is tile setters..

[@cherylrleigh1912]

Bravo, Anna and Phillip! The tiles look absolutely sumptuous. What a splendid decision.

[@Harry-fk5of]

That ad was cute. A clever way to seamlessly transition to some promo. Tiles are brilliant.

[@ZeldaTheLegendof]

Philipp's choice of music is impeccable. He must have a huge library of music. Always perfect!👌💯

[@maryacton6046]

💯✅

[@debbiestott3651]

Philip is so gifted in his DIY skills. Anna you are such a good designer and choose the nicest things. It's going to be beautiful.

[@user-wh9vj1th3u]

Love the seductive mysterious music (sounds like something in an early Bond film) while Philip presents his favorite machine!

[@kristinedunkleman8767]

I love it. I know my husband wouldn't like it at all. Can hardly wait to see the vanity and tub in the room. Your tiler did a fantastic job putting it all in.

[@jjfrank]

You are so fortunate to have such masterful craftsman coming in to create such beautiful work! Between your tiler and Benoit you are really developing a masterpiece of a suite!

[@capslock9031]

The most british way of saying Oma. Love it.

[@sandylmcallister]

You could tell the professional laying the tiles was a master craftsman! You two should do more commercial as you were brilliant!

[@sadielou1808]

Love, love, love the tiles in the bathroom - the shower walls, shower floor and floor all different but totally in sync. Perfect.

[@David-jm7mq]

What a wonderful looking floor. Timeless in it's simple design. The tiler is truly a craftsman. Closest I ever got to someone with his skill was years ago while working at a church, I watched a friends father, who was a stone cutter, put in a new alter area for the church. Watching this tiler cut, then dry fit all the pieces before laying them, reminded me of the same process the stone cutter used. Marvelous work and result.

[@Rosh_ie]

I've seen a rise in this type of tiling design recently. But this one is fitting for the chateau. I found it interesting that you wanted to break up the space so the rooms look separate from each other. Here in the US, with the symmetrical door placement, most people would opt to try to make one room flow into the other to feel like one cohesive design when you open both doors. I think the design walkthroughs that some of the viewers mocked up for you emulated that. I love that you choose a tile to preserve the historical aspect of the chateau though. Im sure this will be a beautiful suite when its all done. I'm excited to see the other elements. This was fun to watch!

[@kindlydude]

They could always find rectangular long carpets with black and white diamond squares on them. That might look a little cheesy though (too 60's actually). Perhaps white carpets at either end beyond each doorway ...depending on which way the bathroom doors swing.

[@CarmenShenk]

The tile turned out beautifully! Great choice, durable, not bothered by water and timeless design. Gorgeous!

[@donnashekey352]

Dressing room color is perfect and floor makes the bathroom sing, I’m part of the chateau!

[@LRWdesign]

I have watched YTs who decorate in beige and browns and greys or really dark colors and it always depresses me. I love your choices as I feel they are light and bright and happy and the tile choice is wonderful. 🥰❤👍

[@lewisw8332]

The floor is an amazing choice, it puts so much character into the space. Great choice

[@rickigottlieb]

All the tile choices are beautiful. The floor is gorgeous!❤️

[@elizabethpaints]

The bathroom floor is beyond amazing, and Anna you're right, it does look like it's been there before. The shower is gorgeous too! So much work laying down a tile floor. Now I have a better appreciation for all of the work that goes into it. Will you have an unveiling when all three rooms are completed?

[@susanhirtzel8410]

The tile in the shower and on the floor is beautiful! Lovely choice on both!

[@carolinebrown7458]

Absolutely beautiful and timeless tiles. Classic choice that will beautiful in 100 years. Bravo 👏🏼

[@paulamorris4727]

Watching a true craftsman work his magic is so satisfying. Well done to your tile installer!

[@dianac52176]

The bathroom is absolutely stunning. The tiles, and their colors, are all the perfect choices.

[@sethdietrich4648]

Two thumbs up for the bathroom floor. Your tiler is a master craftsman.

[@mars_hikes967]

This tile specialist is dead serious. Someone like him was desperately needed in this chateau, his work makes up for all the measurements someone else took and continues to take...

[@jlebo001]

bwahahahaha!!!!!

Is that you Benoit?😂

Your chateau is gorgeous and everything you add or restore is beautiful. The en-suite marble floor is stunning! That’s a craftsman who knows his trade! That bathroom will feel, once finished like a dream. Wow!

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

The tiles are magnificent. The man who laid the tiles did a phenomenal job. Very Parisian. Your bedroom suite is going to be hard to leave in the morning, but a joy to return to at night. xx

[@Jm28j]

One of the most entertaining ads😂 and it just felt like their normal banter!

[@ginacrusco234]

The bathroom floor is beyond stunning, and the shower stall, too. I watch this in the great hope that our contractor, at a site 2 hours away, is also finishing the tiling!

[@janehodgetts6078]

All my life, I'm 73 I wanted to live in a house with the black and white tiles, we had them when I was a small child in England in a very old house, they are timeless and beautiful.

[@sheilaclark3718]

Love the bathroom tiles! As an Interior Design student, I always had 1 room with black & white floor tiles in all my projects. 😍

[@mariastellamelendez8670]

The black and white bathroom tile is beautiful and it is a classic look. Good choices.

[@itsmewende]

I think it's safe to say...the word hate never comes to mind with any decor choices you've made. The pro did a beautiful job.

[@raquelwilcox6683]

My favourite kind of flooring timeless elegant beautiful

[@ninabooker2904]

I’m more impressed with the skills of master tradesmen (builders, carpenters, electricians, tile setters, stone masons, woodworkers) than any scholarly Ph D. Craftsman are technical experts and artists, now that’s skill to be admired. ❤ The tile is perfection. Beautiful ❤

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

All the tiles are beautiful and the tiler is exceptional. As are you both,the girls and Ziggy

[@Burbankelly]

Best commercial ever! 😂 🙌🏻

[@salliewhite-bishton5394]

Your tile person is definitely an incredible craftsman. Looks nice as you said nice transition from bedroom to bath to dressing room. The suite is really coming together after all the prep work, decisions, etc How lovely !

[@katiem6773]

The floor looks amazing..Anna's great taste as always 🥰😃

[@cwhite5015]

Timeless. It will all be so beautiful when completed: elegant and modern with real nods to its historic period. I love it.

[@SusanZiegler]

Thank you, Philipp, for using the botanical name to identify your plants. It's the only real way to let people know what you have - common names very too widely, even within one country. And it's so true, Cornus alba siberica is gorgeous in the fall and winter!!!

[@user-yd6ef1yo9d]

Anyone can make a bold decision, but it takes real talent to successfully place such large and a powerful design element in the chateau...and its just one of a steady flow.. These are videos that viewers who enjoyed it the first time around to keep coming back to appreciate all over again.

[@robertdamianogargano3971]

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT. Shine magnifys the beautiful MARBLE PATTERN OF THE TILES. MARBLE floor tiles are only beautiful if finished in high GLOSS sealer. Italian villas in Tuscany are finished with a BRILLIANT SHINE and it can only be described as SPECTACULAR. The cost was worth every euro.

[@LanguageIsAMusic]

Loved the play between the avant garde jazz piece and the classical piece during the tile laying sections. Innovative use of music to tell the story. Loved this.

The bathroom tile is magnificent!! You will never get tired of that!!
