My boyfriend bought a PEACH CHANDELIER for the CHATEAU...

It's a full day at Lalande, as new sheep arrive, Amaury finishes the shutters for the Tack Room, Ian the Plasterer starts renovating one of the chateau's towers, and Philip installs a peach chandelier that I tried to veto at a brocante...

Annalise is such a breath of fresh air. She looks beautiful & the boys are growing in leaps & bounds💛🍋 The colour of chandelier warms up the bathroom when not lit .. no seriously it goes well with the tub. 💛🌼🍋

The peach chandelier is well proportioned, attractive, and looks great with copper. Well chosen Phillip!

[@piper6541]

Annalise is looking fabulous! Love her hairstyle and her dress! Jack and Thomas add life to the chateau! Enjoyed this vlog enormously! Everything and everyone! Thanks 😊

[@mavep2855]

I thought all the ladies of LaLande looked beautiful but a special shout out to Annalise. So good to see her and the boys enjoying the chateau life. Good idea to have Kirsty’s sheep spend the day to help keep the grass down. Perhaps you can put a dimmer switch on the new bathroom chandelier. Thanks for this🙏🏻❤️

[@pamelastanley2046]

Stephanie and the other young women looked beautiful. And Philip and Amry always look so handsome. I always feel such peace and love watching your Channel.

[@Tabletsculptingtips]

Obviously Phillip is very busy helping make the chateau diaries at the moment, but if he wanted to I suspect he could have a successful career as an interior designer. He has a genuine passion for it and a great eye, plus he manages to have strong opinions on what he likes whilst always being pleasant and diplomatic in how he expresses them, which is an excellent trait for dealing with clients. Anyway, just a thought for the future if he ever wanted to do that.

[@wendybliven2652]

Annalise! Love that lemon dress, you look beautiful and happy! So glad your family is not broken even though you and daddy aren't a thing anymore.

Nice to see the towers getting plaster repairs. The table for summer dinner is beautiful and you ladies are glamorous. So nice to see Annalise looking beautifully radiant and the little boys top off the cake bringing children's love to LaLande. The shutters are great. Love to all ❤.

[@denisemastromina7821]

I have to say how lovely to see Annalise she looked so lovely and to see the boys running around just made my day ... oh and yes the chandelier was just perfect for the bathroom but yes you need some lower wattage warm white bulbs in there. If one got up for a tinkle in the night those lights would knock any remaining sleep out of you.🤭🤭🤭

Other than Phillip’s hedgehog obsession - he has impeccable taste. The bathroom looks elegant. It’s wonderful how the English and other transplants have such a lively community in France.

It’s perfect. Love that chandelier! It looks copper

Hedgehogs are the cutest and most fragile of creatures. It’s fabulous that he has this obsession!

[@christinevr7698]

I love love love the peach chandelier - it makes your bathroom truly magnificent! If it is tooo bright, can you put it on a dimmer switch? Then you can have cozy mood lighting for relaxing baths, or not so jarring bathroom visits late at night. Philip has an EXCELLENT eye; that tablescaoe was gorgeous! PHILIP: please PLEASE do some tablescape short videos on your channel. We see the tables set from a distance or in little bits and I would love nothing more than to see you pan over the tables you put together with some mood music- it would be a feast for the eyes! Food or drinks optional but to see your combination of plates/chargers glassware/cutlery… And finally An official Summer Garden Party! Where is Cat? She needs to experience it too!
