MARIE KONDO-ing the CHATEAU! | Epic Declutter Transformation

[@Raxx777]

love how you took a junk room and made it a useable space but still giving you storage. Loved this

[@strykeyboi]

I miss these kinds of videos where you guys declutter, redecorate, and renovate. More of those, please!

[@darbyking-maillot4105]

Agreed these are my favourite type of videos.

[@suzannetownsend1757]

Me too ,I'm not really a food video person ,but still watch x

[@hilltopgirl2665]

Yes please

[@sandraweiler5971]

Me too, I especially enjoy it when they walk from room to room up and downstairs. It almost makes you feel like you are there. And I love that everything isn’t perfect, clutter in the corners. 🤣🌸💕

[@donnablake5358]

Absolutely agree.

[@carolynblack420]

Just a thought - for the grandfather clock that you’re turning into a bar - change the time on the clock to 5:00, because as they say, it’s always 5:00 somewhere!😃

[@sarahmattingly6971]

Brilliant!!

[@endeavouringit]

@@sarahmattingly6971 Ditto !!

[@beautifulwave1346]

Genius!

[@gglydie4242]

[@trixiegirlism]

And it would be neat if you could come up with a creative way to put a tartan plaid over the flowery area around the face of clock.

[@amxranthine]

The fact that Philip turned this clean out project into an opportunity to decorate 🤣

[@cindygarrison6338]

Butofcourse!

[@rhondathomas7952]

Always! And he is always so complimentary of Amaury’s talent.

[@rankinstudios5342]

He has such fantastic ideas. You and Philip were made for each other!

[@jennifercampbell7698]

Yes, I always smile whenever Stephanie and Philip undertake projects. They always spur each other on and feed off each other creatively. Even clean the same way. They are so sweet and so well suited. It’s adorable! ♥️♥️ Also Amaury is such a helpful support to the functioning of LaLande. He is a vital part of everything LaLande! Love the new boot room! Think you need more coat hooks and shoe and boot stands as well as an umbrella stand too!

[@cynhanrahan4012]

The difference is remarkable. The room is quite pleasant, still has lots of storage, and is very attractive.

[@ludovica8221]

Practical suggestion. Put the wardrobes on the interior door side of the room and the plants and plant stand by the window instead. The plants need all the light

[@corricatt]

a big mirror opposite the window would bring in double the sunlight for plant growth

[@ludovica8221]

[@beautyallaroundme724]

Good idea.

My favourite part is when the boys get excited Dan is coming over for dinner. I wish I could see Paulina’s reaction to the gardener’s tea room.

[@annemiekvandorp4457]

Dear Kondo team, that plant will need more light. It was situated perfectly in front of the window. Just a tip 🙂

[@vladeckk21]

And a worktable, if Pavlina is going to be potting.... (Love the video. Wish you all would come redecorate my itty bitty chateau....)

[@katelanxner6483]

Marie Kondo would be so proud of all you have done! What a blessing to have Philip and Amaury, miracle workers working as a team! Marie must also feel proud that she is not only famous now for her book, but that her name has been used here as a verb! What a legacy :)

Phillip really loves you, Stephanie. He is always at his most happiness when you are happy. What a beautiful person he is…you’re a lucky woman and make a wonderful couple together.

[@peggyvick935]

I noticed his tender look when she was so happy. He’s an amazing asset to LaLande & makes Steph so happy. Mummie loves him too! That’s VERY important! 😂

[@lynnralph8373]

Seeing Mummy and Percy leave brought tears to my eyes.

[@ariellesoullighting4309]

Love everyone, miss mummy and Percy already, but I adore seeing the fab four... Amaury, Dan, Philip and Stephanie

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

Pavolina will need a small table ( like the one that was there!) for arranging flowers!

[@endeavouringit]

I thought that too

[@KatyThompsonHaley]

It's still there, they moved it to the wall and added the tea tray. I'm sure she can just pull it out to work on arrangements!!

[@juliakrowiak1964]

I never want your videos to end! So grateful for your channel. Nothing better than seeing lovely people working together to create something beautiful.

[@TheFiown]

I bought the bottom half of an antique tall clock for ten euros and repaired it and put in shelves and lined it with old Sanderson wallpaper samples and it fits in the hallway outside my bathroom as my bathroom cabinet. Perfect.

[@rhondathomas7952]

What a great idea!

[@jomeyer13]

flea market flip. also we had fake clocks on small side that went on wall. and when it didnt work they made a small display thing out of it. and rehung.

[@rsmith1820]

Cannot believe how satisfying and fun its been watching people clean The holidays are truly over

[@2Sugarbears]

You have an amazing array of talented men in the Chateau. Remember if you weren't there, neither would they be. You pull talent from the world. Cheers.

[@lorassorkin]

My best advice for clearing out things with emotional ties - take a photo of it. You will have the photo and the memories forever and allow someone else to make use of it. xoxo

[@kirstaknight9691]

Maybe you should put some cedar chips in a closet when you put your coats in there

[@judymossip7446]

Before living in my current house I moved every year or two and did not collect much. I have been in my house now for 24 years and have collected way too much that will probably never be used. You have inspired me to spend 2023 clearing and giving away! Thanks Team LaLande! 💕

[@FleurOlivia]

Handy tip: I downloaded next door, neighbors can pick up your stuff and you can even sell it

[@judymossip7446]

@@FleurOlivia Many thanks for the idea! So far I have only moved some empty boxes to the cluttered area but it’s a start 😆

[@peggyvick935]

Please donate to REAL Charity shops that actually help people. I never donate to Goodwill in USA, because they do nothing to help those in need! I donate to Salvation Army or St Vincent De Paul. They give household items & clothing to aide those in need.

[@srqlisa7881]

If you want the plants to survive move them back close toward the sun. Looks great good job guys.

[@raevonday4197]

I love how you fixed the little garden room/ China cupbpoard/closet, but if it is going to be a place for creating some flower arrangements. How about a long narrow table right down the center of the room?

[@beyondthespice]

oh oh oh I would totally put the plant in the corner and the sofa more in the middle of the mirror

[@lindawentink2725]

Aaah, the farewell to Isobel and Percy.. Brought tears

[@pdq5465]

I love watching Phillip clean. He’s so particular, like I am. It’s so satisfying to watch the clear out, cleaning and redecorating.

[@probstnatalie]

My favorite thing about this crew is the love, the hard work, the good vibes. I could never live with a bunch of other people because I am so shy, so I LOVE watching how you all mesh and work for the greater good.

[@LizelleGrobler]

♥️ Stephanie and Philip, you are an incredible team. 🇿🇦

[@sheilablackburn183]

Philip is just so good at turning a space into a part of the home and where would it all be with out the Amazing Amaury. Its so sad to see Mummy and Percy leave however they will be back in no time xx

[@JohannaVeerenhuis]

Thank you so much, for all the joy!! 💫💝💫 I can’t wait for the vlogs to appear twice a week, again… sorry, so selfish… 🤭 I’m busy with the cleaning/sorting thing too, since the first week of this year. Very satisfying!! Now there is an interval of about a week, because I turned 50 yesterday and our days are filled with party things… 🥳🥳🥳 I was feeling very happy and connected with you all, when I saw yesterday that Mummy Isabel congratulated me on my birthday. Thank you. 💝

[@JohannaVeerenhuis]

@@kimberlyearly8918 I understand! If I had the finances, I would be one too. 🥰

[@twobluestripes]

Great job Philip on reminding Stephanie to keep the stoneware cheese board because it sparked joy! It doesn’t matter whether you have done without out; that’s no reason to get rid of something. Now that it’s been found, it will be enjoyed again. The great thing about clearing out and making room is you get to find and enjoy old treasures again!

[@patrickdemarcevol]

So great to see just the four of you doing important things that you probably couldn't do with a houseful. Lady Isabelle looked very sad to leave, and Percy, in his own way. Now's the time to get back on board and do all you can to bring back that chateau in its 'splendeur'

[@endeavouringit]

Percy likely will enjoy his own home and Isabelle to himself 😊

Yay! Finally a new episode. Having withdrawals from seeing videos everyday throughout Christmas to one ever so often. Can you tell? I love the channel!😁😍🥰

[@caroljollymore7345]

I think Stephanie should do one per week in November and then the Advent Diary as usual because the withdrawal symptoms in January are just too difficult. Arghhaa I am dying.

[@Hunting2Restore]

@Carol Jollymore I agree I would love that, but from my own experience at content creation. It is hard work and I don't blame her one bit for the break. Sometimes you can record 4 hours of just random things only to edit it down to 15 minutes. It's crazy

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Love the decluttering. One suggestion would be to make sure the plants get enough sunlight. I’ve been clearing out my closets since I retired last year and don’t need a lot of the clothes. Feels good to lighten the load. Amaury was so funny with the charm in the cake. He did an amazing job per usual in fixing the armoires. The fab 4 has done it again. Thanks for sharing 😍😘

Philip and Stephanie I do hope you see this comment of mine. A grand idea for the grandfather clock!! pun intended. I understand the clock no longer works as a clock and you want to transform into a mini bar. However, all is not lost. you can put a battery operated clock mechanism to the clock portion very in expensive and easily done. I have an old antique clock that I bought that used to be a wind up key mechanism and was upcycled with this type of battery mechanism. It still has it's antique charm and keeps perfect charm.

I feel you, Stephanie; I used to have a vintage coat addiction. I had over 50 coats tucked away in every spare space I could find. Unfortunately, menopause sized me out of most of the coats; along with dozens of vintage dresses, they went to a young woman who promised to cherish them all.

Great room now. Please let the poor plants have more light. That's how they survive. Very few plants do well so far from a window. I suppose that beautiful flowering vine will be outdoors in a few months but why not put it on castors (on wheels, easy to move) close to the window until then? Ever thought of moving the kitchen avocado into the greenhouse? Who knows, you might just get it to produce avocados for you there? Peace
