Secrets to Crafting a Medieval 4 Poster Bed by up-cycling old furniture

264. Ted continues to craft the four poster bed, making the foot board and head board from recycled furniture. The templar suite is the final suite in the chateau to be renovated and with just 2 weeks to go until les journées du patrimoine (open weekend) we are on a tight deadline to get as much finished as possible.

[@jackiestudebaker929]

That bed is going to be AMAZING!

[@millywood6801]

Ted, you can't rush perfection. Looking forward to seeing the next episode.

[@lmdyment]

No rushing.

[@joellenmeek658]

Whether it’s a buffet or a bed it will still serve a purpose and be beautiful. Win, win if you ask me.

[@wheretheroadtakesus523]

I love how Lesa and Ted reuse what they have.

[@teepeeX]

I absolutely love the passion of using reclaim items, I think it puts the authenticity back into the rooms. Both of you have a creative streak just like me. I love all that you've done 😊

[@katherineleavitt7275]

Ted you are so talented as a craftsman. I can't wait to see the bed finished, I'm sure it will be fabulous. Kathy USA 🇺🇸

[@annettesharrock1236]

Fantastic job Ted looking good. Like the lamp Lesa😘

[@marypaddey4625]

Yes I think she could safely shorten the wooden pendant column without spoiling it. It will be great to see it all polished up and in place.

[@JeanWhatman]

Can't wait to see the bed as a whole unit , fabulous work Ted xx

[@84parsons]

Me to it's going to look incredible

[@1010smile]

Love to see old furniture and turning into something other than its intended use. Well done!

[@jeanburgin160]

Love the old furniture. You are a master at repurposing Ted, you are very creative! Love these doors, so pretty. The carvings on the wood is awesome. I love how you reuse awesome lovely pieces to make something special. Love how you are adding the end panels. Wow, that looks great!!! Yes!!! This is perfect, love it! You are a master carver and wood smith. Love it! All the best.

[@84parsons]

Couldn't agree with you more. These 2 are an inspiration to me ❤

[@Hiris-hu5pc]

You're both so clever at finding ways to make authentic looking items for your rooms! I'm so happy you both took on this amazing restoration!

[@jesusdidntcharge143]

Oh, joy! I've been looking forward to learning how to properly build a bed since you first mentioned it.

[@84parsons]

We can all learn something from these cracking 2 ❤and the bed is going to look amazing

[@hughw8543]

V clever repurposing of the wardrobe a) you got beautiful wood panelling for free and b) it instantly will give what is effectively a brand new bed age and the right "feel". Terrific.

[@johnhanson5565]

Bed and the room are going to look lovely, miracles take a little longer.

[@lmdyment]

Yes it’s worth the wait.

[@JBfromMaryland603]

This suite is going to look ancient! I love what you are doing with up-cycled materials. Great job!!!

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Yeeaahh a video! Hope you are both doing grand. 🎉❤🎉

[@berylcarrington9899]

Wow, just fabulous, going to look amazing. Love the paint, copper colour looks so sparkly in the sun.

[@lmdyment]

Love the colours.

[@somewherenicefarmstay6146]

Ooh fabric. You had made the first time you said ...fabric. Nothing better than finding good quality old fabric from a tip shop or second hand shop. It is like magic when you transform it into something else. Every piece unique. All the best to you both.

[@84parsons]

What an awesome start it is going to look fantastic. Ted your a woodworking genius. Much love to you both 😊❤

Looking forward to see the finished bed, a work of art Ted

[@peterwhite9261]

Lesa, that wall looks awesome. Those lights will be awesome, too. Ted, you still amaze and impress with your woodworking skills. Every room is unique and authentic. Using materials that were left or donated gives them new offerings and new purpose and serves as amazing artistic works.❤

[@donnaschmink1801]

Well done! Thank you!

[@jenateer2518]

Wow. The room is looking great. Bravo

[@gioiapharo7433]

This room is reminding me of the west ….. Terricota - Wood designs - lamp choices …… love it

[@wheretheroadtakesus523]

Absolutely love what Ted has done with the bed so far. He is an amazing craftsman. I can't wait to see the lights restored. I think they will be fantastic. Great to see back on our screens.

[@tina9665]

Fabulous job on upcycling for the bed, Ted. Lesa, wish i could paint a room in 1 minute and 4 seconds. 😂 take care.

[@judithierino1377]

Ted your so so talented ,you both are great vlog

[@user-ye2gf5xu6q]

[@staciamartin923]

Wow I love the carving. It’s going to be a show stopper!

[@esthervonepp8908]

My theory is everything should have 2 uses!! You 2 defiantely have the same thought...great Job!!

[@amyagin]

It all looks wonderful, Ted and Lesa! I can't wait to see your vision come to life! 😍

[@ChateauDeMontmagner]

Us too!

[@paulamartin2740]

The footboard does indeed look pretty damn good, well done you 👍

[@gloriasmestad3803]

It was very fun watching Lesa finding the light fixtures in the barn! So many great finds! Ted is doing a fantastic job building the bed. The creativity of the two of you is a delight, the way you approach the work with such a positive attitude even encourages me to get to work! 😅Carry on! (As I have heard you Brits say from time to time)!

[@juliepye8549]

I'll second that!

[@KBSChiltern]

Wish I lived closer,I would volunteer to sort that storage and make into areas i.e lighting,furniture etc (OCD) I had an area like this in previous renos,my family called me a magpie ,however stopped taking the mickey when I came up for bits for their own renos😂

[@sharonheffernan9551]

I love seeing your beautiful wood work. My late father was a talented wood worker and I am so happy to have a teak dining table he created for me.

[@84parsons]

I think Ted underestimates himself his work is just lovely 😍

[@debrahanks1588]

Love the up-cycle!

[@lindaedwards6991]

loving everything you are doing so lovely seeing the progress you are making

[@MARGRETFRIEDRICH-e1u]

Well done both of you❤

[@84parsons]

Aren't they just fantastic ❤

[@marypaddey4625]

Absolutely beautiful work Ted. That bed is going to be a masterpiece. You know you ought to start signing your creations so that in a hundred years time people can say..."Ah yes this is a genuine example of Ted Rogers craftsmanship" just like they do of Chippendale. Who knows you may even make a name as one of the other Chippendales too (nudge nudge wink wink! LOL)

[@nelleg152]

Can't wait to see the bed finished. ❤

[@user-uk8sm4ec3l]

Wow Ted, your wood carving are amazing - Well done! 🏆

[@grahammobbs3464]

Magic 🎉✨🪄

[@lyndadavison6318]

Good to repurpose. Good job!

[@sparrowkay]

I can not wait to see it finished and in the room..the wooden light fixture will go great with the bed!

[@Kaiwaka11.11]

You both are looking great

[@shirleygraham6229]

Your ideas are coming along great. Looking forward to seeing the end result. Best wishes.

[@CarolLoch-ww7po]

[@juliepye8549]

And it was a lovely slick video!

[@juliepye8549]

Looking good guys. Love that you love what you're doing Ted. Good job as ever Lesa. Right, I'll go make some responses now! ❤😂

[@katharinaaureliuschrigstro1672]

❤ the bed so far is perfect😊

[@kathytiffin6518]

THANK YOU for a fun video to watch. YOUR enthusiasm lifts me up!!! I wish I could just 'pop over' for a couple of hours to help organize that fun storage barn. What a treasure chest!!

[@ChateauDeMontmagner]

I think it might take a bit more than a few hours 😁

[@Hinkystinkydo]

Fantastic job

[@audreyatherton3373]

How great to see another vlog. We miss you

[@karentillotson2181]

Love what I see! Thanks for sharing!

[@VirginiaMurauskas]

I enjoy watching your vlog and appreciate your hard work. For what it’s worth, I prefer the head of the bed without the rail you made. It doesn’t do it nor the bed head justice. Wishing you well.

[@wizard4121]

Beautiful bed!!

[@CatMindy2187-o4v]

Brilliant...

[@maryfrench9757]

Really nice work Ted! You’ve become quite the woodworker.

[@paoladimeo412]

Waw. That is a beautiful piece of work smashing ❤❤

[@DEEDEE-cn1ud]

Anxiously awaiting today's episode. I suppose this is good news in that your rental business must be booming and securing your financing for future renovations. Congrats on that. Film quality seems to be clearer. Higher definition of camera? or is it in editing? Either way nicely done. What amazing ceiling height in that bedroom under construction. I think those hanging lights will work with all that height. Wonderful workmanship and vision in your project.

[@Helen-uw3pu]

As they say "one man's trash is another man's treasure" and what a treasure you made. Keep up the good work you two.

[@lindagage7315]

Love your video's!

[@paulacorreal1675]

You guys are so talented. Still loving you and your channel from PA, USA.

[@smgreenartsprivate]

Use what you need for the headboard but if you have any other unused pieces could make a pair of night stands as well is a thought. I can see why you picked the cabinet as it was to use the carving work to embellish the headboard is genius. Some might see it as waste of a good cabinet but I see recycling and making a life beyond it's original purpose. Luckily in France cabinets are a pence a dozen so can get them at a reasonable price to sacrifice to make them new objects. Hard pressed to find cabinets even the ugliest ones where I live cost a mint. Well done Ted and Lesa :)

[@smgreenartsprivate]

I would have used the stained glass for this unit as it has the orange in the light but that's me. The second is small maybe for a bathroom or a hallway. The 3rd is a carved piece would go well with all the carved work in the room then again might be too much of it. If you could wire up the sconce would be fine. Maybe as night stand lamps that pair. I would use the lantern on the relais de poste building at the gate.

[@kimgaivin9208]

It’s going to be beautiful.

[@daynight4902]

NICE

[@paoladimeo412]

Looking forward too video ❤

I love your use of stone and wood and texture in the rooms. I'm not a big fan of all the wallpaper and patterns in many of the other diy chateaux channels.

[@angelagalloway5486]

Aww looks fabulous what’s design this is bed it’s going to look so authentic hand made unique great work Ted it is amazing 😊

[@juliepye8549]

Looks good. Can't wait for finished product!

[@guyvessieres8902]

It is Brittany fourniture. M'y family had this kind of fourniture. Bed, cupboard, for bedroom or for salle à manger. It was very commun After WW2.

[@victoriavillegas5]

Fabulosa Idea!!

[@kimboland7960]

Is it Ted playing guitar at the 8.30 mark?

[@burrenglampingandfarm3479]

Ted's work on the organic piece of oak is very nice, but I'm wondering if it goes with the rest which is very strict cube like pattern. a bit contradictory in style, maybe?

[@ChateauDeMontmagner]

I personally like the juxtaposition with the geometric shapes. For info, the carved wood is Douglas fir

[@lindajones9624]

[@bobolpatrick3789]

Au 16ème siècles ,ils utilisaient de la chaux mélangé à de la Terre de Sienne pour couvrir les murs ,le résultat ressemble à ce que vous faites

[@coby6417]

🌟👏👍🍀💐

[@marilizevandermerwe8343]

Wow you showed a picture of an ancient wool/silk/cotton etc spinning wheel? Please restore that or let somebody please restore it? They are SO rare. Those specific ones. I hope you can find textile guilds or hand textile crafters that can look after that wheel? Just thought I mention it. Sometimes one don't realize that those golden oldies are real gems. If you were in America or England I would've known who to send to you, but sorry, France I can't help. Best wishes. I can see you guys sitting and doing textiles and ancient hand crafts at that beautiful Chateau of yours.

[@ingridhendy5922]

you are masters of repurposing

Too bad a useful piece of furniture was taken apart, but it didn't appear to be that old. I can't wait to see those door panel beds.
