Starting our new BATHROOM RENOVATION | CHARENTE LIVING

[@lawrencebaker2318]

You may want to put a thin layer of insulation on the ceiling, since you have the height. Don't know if it is really needed, but it might not hurt!

[@charenteliving]

Yes good idea Lawrence! Thanks!

I learnt from another Chateau rennovation show, that when using tape to guide you when painting a room, one should use a hairdryer over the painting tape before peeling it off, to prevent paint bleeding from pulling the tape off.

[@charenteliving]

Ah wow, that is a great tip. We need to try that for sure. Thank you so much!

Excellent idea to make a bathroom here..! Artists that you are and excellent decorators, this should be a superb transformation...!👍 I can't wait to see..! Thanks for sharing. from Burgundy 🤩

[@charenteliving]

Oh thank you so much!

[@neilschipper3741]

Always enjoying one of your update videos. You're making a beautiful and stylish home guys! It sure has come a long way with all your hard work ❤️

[@charenteliving]

Thanks so much Neil!

[@glennmartin346]

My gosh, I hadn't noticed that the ceilings were so high, are they all that high on the main floor?. I must say I think it would be much easier and cost beneficial just to throw a layer of sheetrock up on that ceiling. You're only going to lose two centimeters and that ceiling must be 10 ft it's beautiful Great work guys. It must kill you to have to leave

[@charenteliving]

Thanks Glenn! Yes all that high on all floors, yes might be the best option!

[@greenb5716]

Great space for a bathroom/utility room. I cannot wait to see all the ideas come to fruition!!

[@charenteliving]

Thanks so much!!

[@RichardBarnett-hs1qy]

Your dare I say growing friend down under in Australia. David and Sir Toby doggy who sends greetings to Kitty

[@charenteliving]

Hey David and Sir Toby! Kitty sends her best greetings to her new Australian friend. Lovely to hear you liked the clip from our Karelian film. We dream of making more films in the future. Thank you for watching our videos and for your warm comments.

[@jangriffiths8013]

Looking forward to the progress on the bathroom!

[@charenteliving]

Thanks Jan!!

[@lawrencebaker2318]

I watched the Karelia video. Everyone should! I don't have words in the English language for this beautiful presentation. You will be drawn into a world that you cannot imagine, yet you will find that you deeply, soulfully recognize it... as Human above all else....Sorry, I am not eloquent enough to convey the beauty of this Art.

[@charenteliving]

Lawrence, we cannot thank you enough for these words, it really means so much to us. So happy you enjoyed the film and thank you for supporting us!! We are delighted that you enjoyed the journey into this wonderful culture!

It makes sense to create a space for a basin for the toilet then board it up. Great plan for the bathroom/ laundry room/ storage space. Excitng stuff

[@charenteliving]

Thank you!

[@williamfahey6066]

Good to see you back. Those tiles will shine beautifully with the sunlight on them. Slowly but surely you will get there. Best. ps will check out your movie very soon.

[@charenteliving]

Merci!

[@RonRobertson-lafrance]

Congratulations on your film, and on the work progress! I thought about you guys this past weekend as I drove down to the centre of the country (driving from Normandie down to the Berry region). Look forward to your next videos!

[@charenteliving]

Oh thanks Ron! Hopefully will get more videos up now during the summer.

[@nativetexson]

[@charenteliving]

Thanks Glen!

[@Celeste0415]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@charenteliving]

Happy to have you along. Glad that you liked the video.

[@LaReynedeNeige]

I was wondering if you would be just as well opening up the wall so the loo is part of the space?

[@charenteliving]

We could but would be a lot more work. So to keep on budget we will keep them separate.
