[@johanmaass4687]

The music is always so beautiful! I'm quite the dreamer, and the Chateau reminds me so much of Cinderella, while the Convent reminds me of something from The Sound of Music (probably the nun ties). I think if Walt Disney himself had a DIY channel, it would be very much like this 😊

[@thewellnessclinic2902]

You are such a fantastic filmmaker Michael, your opening sequence was pure artistry, even with the dirt and dilapidation. You have such a gift.

[@cliveklg7739]

Was it his or the videographers that popped up in the mirror though?

[@klaasvanmanen8214]

You're so much better at telling a story on renovating something than anyone else in your family. Like the search for a color chart, which is a one time thing but really recognizable. Looking forward to the next part.

[@debrapolenz2928]

My last comment got so long I had to start a new one lol. Michael, I agree I want to cry when I see your back. Not only does the color of your kitchen glow in the sunlight, but so do your surprisingly blue eyes, which seem to twinkle with your kindness and good humor. Please excuse an old lady for waxing poetic, but I can’t help it because you are very much loved on this channel and we all I want you to know how very much we value your videos and you yourself. You are such a kind and sweet person and you are lovely to watch. You are so talented, and I too love Beatrix Potter and I’m loving the bunny rabbit which actually I had one exactly like yours at one point. Unfortunately I developed the worst allergy I’ve ever had to rabbits. I don’t know now if I still have it or not since I don’t have any bunnies, but since I love them, so much it was very disappointing to have that happen. I could go on and on and I often wonder if you have time to bother reading all the comments or not I hope somebody does at least and let you know how much we have missed you and look forward to your future videos. If I was young again I’d come film you for free! Even if you could get somebody to film and you had to edit it, it surely would take less time than setting the camera up every time you turned around. It’s too bad you couldn’t set up some cameras or even wear a head cam, or a body cam. Maybe we need one of those channels you know that they use to watch animal life where we can tune in and watch anytime we want lol. Can you set up permanent cameras that you can turn on when you need them? It’s all quite expensive right?

[@JaxonsDd007]

It really does go to show what having a little bit of vision for a space, a piece of furniture, etc, will do. Now. This did take TONS of T, L, and C. But there are charming and qualified chaps to get the work done and inspire and educate people like me who has become a firm believer in the U.S. reintroducing the likes of lime mortar back into our modern zeitgeist.

[@pattyroe2305]

Loved the music throughout. It's reminescent of music in old movies we used to watch as kids, which is very comforting. It evokes memories of a time when life was slower and uncomplicated but joyful. I loved the video portion of the hummingbird, bee and bunny peeking out of the watering can. Your life is ideal compared to the lives of some of your viewers. God bless you for sharing this kitchen restoration with us. I don't know if you realize it, Michael. Here in the States, there is no fit tv to watch anymore. So, channels like yours have taken their place. It's a relief not to have to endure mind programming anymore, telling us what we should want. Watching this today was very healing for me. Thank you.
