Oh! Michael. “It’s like a ponies nose!” ❤️

[@KirstenJoerg]

We couldn't love today's video more - we just published a gift guide for her and show a hat box from Antoinette Poisson because we are so madly in love with everything they do. How amazing that you went there - thank you so so much for the incredible tour.x

[@jenniferknowles2023]

I noticed the wallpaper design that looked like your hat box!

[@KirstenJoerg]

@@jenniferknowles2023 Oh yes, everything is so pretty, isn't it?

[@Adriana_mg]

I thought of you the moment I saw the name on her bag and it was funny that after your last vlog I wondered if you knew of the chateau diaries channel. Such synchronicity 😊

[@acoacheswife]

I would love to see a collaboration between you and Stephanie. I love you both!

[@zeddez1005]

Philip you must tell us about the 2 of clubs and the time you spent with your grandfather!!!!

[@elewysoffinchingefeld3066]

What blows my mind every time I watch some of the "let me show you another room at the chateau" episodes is how ENORMOUS this place is! Usually we only see the same 8 or 10 rooms--kitchen, grand salon, petite salon, dining room, a couple outbuildings and a couple bedrooms--but it just keeps going and going! The blue entryway! The leafy room! Nati's apartment! What's behind door #22?! I have GOT to get over there and get the full tour one day.

Something so special about exploring for 18 century wallpaper late at night in one of the hidden areas of a chateau

[@karleinegraham446]

Dear Stephanie, La Landers and everyone preparing for Christmas. We sang this Advent song at Mass today, the 2nd Sunday of Advent. "People look East. The time is near, of the crowning of the year. Make your house fair as you are able. Trim the hearth and set the table. People look East and sing today. Love, the guest, is on the way." This so describes the activities at Chateau La lande now. Happy Advent Season to all!

[@wandamackenzie144]

Thank you for sharing this beauty Karleine

[@susanbender2953]

So beautiful, thank you. Ok, this may be obvious, but I want to say... The guest, Love, is Jesus the Messiah. Prepare your heart for HIS arrival. ("Table, hearth. House" ). For those those who know HIM have welcomed HIM into their heart.

[@wandamackenzie144]

@@susanbender2953 Sounds perfect to me! Great deciphering.

[@valgoodridge1810]

We sang that song today too; Prairie Spirit United Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

[@lisakilmer2667]

Wonderful admonition -- and a new carol I never knew (thought I knew 'em all!)!!

[@seanmcgcostumes]

This may be one of my favorite places you've ever gone! And I have been so eager to see more of the servant's quarters and to learn what their fate will be (I still hold that the largest of the three rooms would make an excellent sewing studio for the chateau, especially now that the fabrics are so close to it in the attic!), and the mix of wallpapers has always fascinated me. Learning more about it and that it's actually an earlier design of wallpaper is so cool!

[@juliehinkel608]

The perfume storyline was magical. Capturing phases of a life.

[@patriciaodoherty5202]

I agree!

[@Helen-us1ly]

The turquoise paper is one of the prettiest I've ever seen. Even a single sheet can be framed on a wall. Adhered to the wall then simply adding a wooden frame directly to the wall like paneling.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

That wonderful tradition of craftsmanship in France! Other countries have great craftspeople, but the French really do seem to celebrate quality and tradition so much more than the rest of us. Thank you for the video!

[@sjb3028]

Stephanie, I love how Michael looks at you with such aw and adoration.

[@3lightsteps]

As a metal casting sculptor, I took classes in traditional woodblock design and printing. Thank you for bringing back some wonderful old memories of art school.

[@patsycovino6196]

Ponies nose! I was just telling my little grand niece that she'll never feel anything so soft as a pony's nose!!

[@cagarden8808]

How absolutely exciting to find a room in Lalande with the same style of handmade wallpaper! Thank you for sharing this unique Parisian shop with us. Their website has a wonderful selection of beautiful items.

[@christineh5790]

Stephanie, how exciting to find the same type of paper on the attic walls and to think you may not have realized what a gem it was if you had not visited that Parisian shop? I remember seeing that wallpaper in a much earlier video in the attic and the wallpaper wasn’t quite the centre of attention that it will be from now on. (I would be taking photos of all the old papers if they are not good enough to leave in situ, so in the future they could be reproduced to live on again.) Just loving these Advent vlogs...🥰🎄✝️

[@suzyq555]

The floral wallpaper with the crisscross was used in a bathroom at Chateau De Guandes.

[@lilirehak5569]

LOVED this episode! I am so ready to "La Lande" every corner of my home with wallpaper and gold gilt paint!!!! No more grey paints....!!!

[@zeddez1005]

Not only soul confirming, engaging, educational, beautify, but glorious. Thank you, Stephanie and all of you lovlies who are assisting them to restore and celebrate european culture and traditions. I'm so grateful!

[@logarithmic7]

Why is the 2 of clubs Philip's favorite? The video cut out and Now i'll never know!!!!! What games would you play with your grandfather Philip?

[@user-qz5dq8kn4p]

Stephanie I don’t know how you resist I’d buy out the whole shop I’d thought I’d be in heaven lol 😂 I thank you for taking us along on these journeys with you all I love it 🥰 thank you so much 😊

[@rose-marie7351]

same!!! lol

[@TheHexedLibrary]

This is exactly what I love about an historic home! Living there for so long and still being able to discover new things about your home is just so appealing!

[@dreamchaseruk]

Love that the chateau still has secrets to discover 💖💖

[@roberthossen8354]

Stephanie, Philip and Michael, you all have exquisite taste and what a treat this wonderful artisan wallpaper shop! A such creative gits, very curious about the perfumes. When in Paris, I'll certainly visit there. The green Chinoisérie wallpaper with birds and blossom is truly exquisite and indeed perfect for both your bedroom and office! And my new bedroom next year too 😉

[@irisfulkerson6968]

Those niches in perfume area at the shop. Would be neat at the chateau with your little creatures and figurines and make like little fairy areas

[@elizabethjurkacek5217]

This was exceptional. I just LOVE knowing that this art continues. Such a wonderful vlog.

[@afolsom685]

Oh my! That place is fabulous! I love discovering 'new' ( to me) beautiful things. Merci!😊

[@peterjucha671]

At 11:00, "Absolutely not, Philip." Comedy gold! I nearly fell out of my chair. Missing MP's quips on CD. 😞(also, "like a pony's nose" was a pretty spectacular analogy... like "feel-o-vision".)

[@anthonylewischurchill-theg233]

WOW, what a fab episode Guys, Love the papers and when you went up to the attic's so many orbs caught on the camera, WOW WOW WOW Thank You

[@KH-nn6kh]

A few days ago, on Kirsten and Joerg's Vlog, Kirsten mentioned a hat box from the wallpaper company, as a lovely gift idea for Christmas. Very timely and interesting. Funny how some things keep popping up.

[@fabricofthesky1169]

I love that you are able to show us the behind the scenes of this shop and how the papers are made, thank you! And the fact that you have this sort of paper in the attic is so amazing 🤩

[@jenniferrayhill2000]

Thank you for sharing the December 5 tradition from the Netherlands! Also, thanks for the trip to Parisian wallpaper shop and the beautiful art they produce. So enjoyed todays Advent 💕

[@paigepooler9036]

thank you so much for this tour...especially the printmaking and really showing us so many of the product. I'm an illustrator exploring surface pattern design and I nearly lost my mind over those gorgeous designs! Exquisite. I want everything in that shop!! Thanks so much for ANOTHER fabulous advent!

[@MLPH09]

I’ve watched this video several times and towards the end when you was up in your attic I saw a couple of orbs I think not quite sure but watched a couple of times very faint ones up in the attic and thought it was really good take care

[@krismorris1810]

Such an interesting and amazing vlog, fascinating stories, discoveries and delightful to watch, thank you Stephanie

[@NatiHerron]

This has now given me so many decorating ideas! Going to lose myself on their e-shop!! Facinating how so many years later the chateau still gives so many surprises!

[@janeleslie4192]

I even love the wrapping paper ❤️

[@patriciaodoherty5202]

Lovely,Thank you Stephanie for the wallpaper lesson!How lovely!

[@janetg1691]

Who knew that you had hand crafted sheets of linen wall paper in your chateau? How exciting!

[@tinak5765]

Well , you’ve done it again Stephanie, topped yourself! What a treasure the trip to Madame Poisson was! The cherry 🍒 on top was the little alcove with the perfumes. Mmmm I can almost smell them. I’ll be searching online for this one. Thank you so very much for a great Advent day 5.

[@yummboy2]

Delightful, an Interior Designer's dream! Imagine finding historic wallpapers in an unused attic room after visiting the shop in Paris. As it has been said many times, Stephanie truly does live an enchanted existance! Many thanks for sharing!

[@liesavillandre3481]

Another wonderful history lesson. The paper is so beautiful and to use it on so many different areas is such a great idea, pillows, books, etc, The store personal was so gracious too. Wonderful tour, thanks again.

[@kellyhawes8901]

That was a treasure of a shopping trip! What a fabulous artisan business. I loved all of the paper, but the cream and the green with the birds was exquisite. I surprised you didn't buy Nati a box, as she loves her boxes! Lovely to buy gifts for all.

[@lin9391]

of all the beautiful things featured in this vlog, you and Philip, not hiding your love under a basket is #1. #2 is the green sideways falling star tree topper.

[@laurencunningham8281]

Completely amazing shop and discovering the old paper in the attic in same sized papers. Ever consider giving a tour the rest of your chateau? Would be most fascinating!

[@laurencunningham8281]

@Stella Marie Poetry and Green Arts thank you Stella! I will check it out.

[@carolinegooder7091]

Some of the rooms are pre changes of the last year and a half in the two older tours; like the entrance hall, red pigeon stairway and attics. You see the Grand Salon as it was originally and how it looked for years till this month. What fun.

[@lisaakinlabi]

OMG beautiful papers and treasures - just my style. 🥰

[@Tracy_R]

I absolutely adore Stephanie pulling back the curtains and allowing us to see what happens in the Chateau La Lande. Such an honor. Many happy blessings

[@brigidine37]

You always find such pretty, unusual things and your attic discovery is wonderful. Thanks for a great vlog!

[@dalehegstrom7295]

I'm really excited about your find in the servant's quarters. I hope you will one day be able to restore those rooms, too!

[@joellenmeek658]

A wealth of knowledge was gained by visiting the wallpaper maker. Thanks for taking us along.

[@annmariefraser1064]

Not sure which I love more, the actual real wallpaper in the attic, the amazing shop & history or your eternal gleefulness~ , "all of them" bring joy to my day. Thank you!!

[@kathleensmith8365]

More work for your future archivist! Fascinating to find that wallpaper still visible in the chateau. The trip to the shop was so informative and the prints are beautiful.

[@carolinegooder7091]

I know you said that there was an archivist in the village. Could you film an afternoon with him answering your questions or add more details as you do a new set of tours of the Chateau?

[@patriciagreen5662]

Michael I loved when you said the velvet was as soft as a pony's nose. I could just feel what you meant. I do so miss having horses.

[@elizabethheatley22]

One of the best episodes ever! All those beautiful items and designs! One more beautiful than the other. Can’t wait to check out their site.

What a beautiful shop and fascinating to learn the history of the wallpapers.

[@greatdane3446]

Fascinating vlog! Throughout the years we have spent many months in Paris and countryside as my husband is from Paris. I am definitely going to visit Chez Antionette Poisson on our next visit. In the meantime, their online shop is much appreciated. Thank you Stephanie and the entire LaLande family for such informative, entertaining, and joyful vlogs. Love, light , and blessings from a fan/friends in Tucson, Arizona.

[@andrea859]

Really appreciate being introduced to that beautiful shop. Will definitely be looking at their online store.

I would not want to rip the special gift wrap after seeing how much work the prints were.

I loved the block printed wallpaper and the history. It was wonderful to see another historical secret unlocked and La Lande. I really was completely fascinated.

[@karenpowell2828]

WOW! What a great vlog. I didn't think I cared a lick about wallpaper, but that was wonderful. I loved all those papers at that shop. Absolutely beautiful!

How exciting! I am definitely going to look at their website.

[@annettesharrock1236]

Wow what a lovely find of the wallpaper in the attic. Now ALL the perfumes I think I would have purchased they looked if they smell incredible . Loved al the history I found that very interesting, and how they were made. Thankyou for sharing. x

I really enjoyed the history lesson. Thank you so much!

The print you have fallen in love with Stephanie is exquisite, it is just beautiful and you were meant to find it🥰💫

[@carolz5090]

Stephanie. I’m so glad you mentioned Anna and Philipp’s channel, How to Renovate Your Chateau (Without Killing Your Partner). When seeing the process of manufacturing the wallpaper in this video I couldn’t help but think of Anna designing and printing her own wallpaper in much the same manner. However I don’t remember Anna joining small pieces of paper, I think (?) she repeated the pattern by moving and printing the inked blocks on long paper. Anyway fellow LeLande watchers…Anna is lovely and Philipp is brilliant in addition to being hellaciously funny. Their channel has a much different vibe than LeLande, but well worth checking out if you haven’t already.

[@laurel7570]

I will be dreaming of the Jaipur wallpaper. Thank you so much for such a beautiful excursion! Happy Advent.

[@laurettadimmick6399]

This is why I tune in. A perfect vlog post. I'll be making a beeline to Antoinette Poisson next trip to Paris! Merci beaucoup et joyeux Noël.

Textiles! Favorite episodes. Now I want wallpaper from that store, may have to settle for something that’s not hand-printed but its inspirational. I also didn’t realize they made such small blocks, divine design!
