The Chateau Diaries 067: Chateau to Catwalk!

[@dianetipton6040]

We will probably be in our 80’s and 90’s and revisiting these videos all over again, what a treasure trove.

[@nicombor]

I almost miss these days, but how incredible to see how the family and chateau have grown and changed over the years. What a wonder… xo from a typically silent five years subscriber

[@chemokiki]

Me too! ❤

[@joaodejesuscostaesteves4656]

Me too

[@jeanblyth6305]

These were my favourite years at la lande the videos were so full of fun and laughter 🎉🎉🎉

[@aleta5024]

I wish they would go back to this format when Lalande was really full of laughter.

[@BiancaMH]

Marie mowing the lawn in her bathing suit! LOL!!!!!!

[@LA-jf1zn]

I love all the laughter and fun its contagious! 🤗

[@fringedwellermccatintyre730]

I hadn't seen that one before, and it was wonderful! And F1 is absolutely adorable!

[@jgrady9553]

Wonderful fashion show- you rocked the dresses! Michael didn't look too guilty about pretending to paint when there was cricket on

[@mariacanto1871]

I love the old wall paper! Nowadays more modern things seemed to have taken over, but I still love traditional things and furnishings!

[@jmk1962]

So professional Stephanie.

[@samanthaobertelle4966]

Wowwww, wowwwww, wowwwww, .....I'm not being biased because we all love stephanie but she stole the show! ...elegance personified! I really do feel stephanie was born in the wrong era, it's almost as though she has been shipped through time past and that time was the art deco 1930s flapper girls . ❤❤😊😊

[@williamgreenough8350]

quite the hotsy totsy when you go back to your old world, eh??? hahahahahhaha, aaaahhhhhhhh, being able to relive the 80's and 90's all over again, i miss that time so much

[@deborahhanson9125]

Chateau Lalande is a natural to be featured on the cover of Architectural Digest. The story of Stephanie , Nick & Potts 's embarking on this venture and the recent successes in renovating the Chateau. Fabulous photographs of the Chateau's interior & the knowledge Stephanie has for fabrics & furniture is a fit for Architectural Digest. Time to make a call to the Editor Stephanie!

[@ankiking]

I strangely must have missed this years ago.so fun to see it now. So much work has been done since then. Great to be able to look back like this. ❤

[@hollykeller1545]

You looked so beautiful in all of the dresses and the hair was fabulous ❣️ I think you had the best dresses❣️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@SongOfSongsOneTwelve]

Stephanie, please put a reminder for us to give you a thumb’s up when the show is close to being over! I’ve juts had to go back and like 20 videos because I’ve watched them non-stop and have forgotten all about liking them. ;) They are very easy to watch. Cannot wait to see longer videos. I would like to see more DIY stuff with you and your chateau crew.

[@earthangel7889]

I can’t wait to visit the Chateau. What I like the most is how you all embrace life. I hope love you all!!!

[@carawinsorhehir]

i'm on a cold, grey, little island living vicariously through your dreamy life. coveting your spectacular dresses. stealing your interiors ideas.

[@TheChateauDiaries]

I’m happy you’re finding sunshine in my vlogs! It’s a cold grey day in France today, so I’m wrapping up warm and dreaming of summer ☀️

[@nomebear]

These shows put the biggest smile on my face. I love them so very much.

[@sarahburton3110]

Rewatching the entire series and loving all over again 😊❤️

[@kseniyamorein5481]

Such a good pianist! My appreciation! All women are amazingly beautiful:)

[@deborrastrom8559]

Catwalk Heaven...just brilliant & jealous of all the fun you each had doing it. That's the spirit they all should be done in! Fabulous... Michael's apt. Will be super when finished. Wonderful share this time, as always each is unique.

[@deborrastrom8559]

I have been waiting to finally see a "plasta on the finga!" American translation, " A bandaid on my finger." Lol ! I love you Stephanie & dream I am somewhere with you & Michael at LaLande & pretending something! Lol or in the garden with mummy & Scottman. Or eating a fabulous meal with all those at La Lande & laughing alot with Song....blessings to you all. Thanks for spreading joy all round the world at this time!

[@traceystoneman1922]

I love your fun,happy vlogs , thank you for sharing 💖

[@sherryspotts8335]

You were Absolutely Beautiful in everything ❤ So fun

[@izzy1563]

Live the twirly dresses in varied colors at the show. Looks like fun. Hope you kept the black Elle dress. It’s ageless.

[@suejefferies7271]

Loved the Bardot hair and dress....also the 60s dress....Fab.!!! x

[@TheChateauDiaries]

Yes, the 60s one was amazing - the most wearable on a daily basis of them all!

[@tulipwindmill]

catching up on episodes that I haven't seen.That Dickens book is perfect.My favourite Christmas story x

[@heatherphillips3349]

I really enjoy these videos...so fun to watch!!!

[@samwin9434]

Wow delightful stunning vlog. I so enjoy catching up on your chateau diaries.

[@jomcgee6094]

I'm still watching and catching up, since I'm rather new here, but MISS STEPHANIE, you look incredibly stunning on that catwalk!!!

[@carjhb]

How gorgeous! I'm bingewatching CD... and loved this one! Your confidence is so awesome, and I just love your joie de vivre! So happy to see you with such beautiful big hair too! I love it (and also that you went to town in curlers)! Brilliant!!!!!!

[@hahna77]

I loved the Bardot and 60's dresses, but I think my favorites are the yellow flower dress you wore to the show and the Louis Vuitton towards the end. You have such great style. Dana looks amazing in everything as well. I hadn't realized that she was a model before watching this episode.

[@darladressler]

Finally going to the back logs to see the original Cat Walk! wow!! amazing job well done, gorgeous Brigette :-)

[@littleskittles7733]

I've recently discovered your KZbin channel and am thoroughly enjoying every one of your videos; you are a natural vlogger!! There were moments when you, wearing that fabulous black dress in the fashion show, that you were transformed into a young Tippi Hedren!!

[@frenchartantiquesparis424]

Even the attics are beautifully decorated...

[@beverlycongelliere1215]

You were absolutely delightful!

[@garygenemckenzie469]

The toile in that room is beautiful. And Steph's hair and wardrobe were Magnifique !!!!!!!

[@farmers-daughter2000]

Stepheni you look quite glamorous. I hope you loved this experience.

[@hectorbrown656]

you are so clever doing the upholstering on the bed it looks good , I'm so happy that I collected four episodes to look at all at once , I can already see that the last one has Scotman in it , Vive l'Ecosse

[@TheChateauDiaries]

There’s an extra bit of sparkle in the chateau when Scotsman’s home ❤️

[@chasethecat3839]

Rewatching all videos bug had missed a few & this fabulous fun video was missed. Stephanie looked radiant and stunning on the catwalk!

[@dinoninja47]

Stunning!! As always Stephanie ☺️

[@peterwhite9261]

Fabulous show. Bravo and encore please! 👏

[@hectorbrown656]

You are stunning in the sixties black dress and of course le Bardot one

[@TheChateauDiaries]

Thank you! I’ve bought the black ‘60s one, so I’m glad you like it!

[@chattykathie7129]

I rewatched this older video and I have to say the new ones are very tame in comparison. Umm🤔 not sure which I like best. Love them all!❤️

[@oceanle]

Watching your videos, I don’t get jealous. I’m very happy for your success!

[@amandavanlingen1768]

Thank you for such a fun fab fashion video Stephanie 👌 You "rocked" the Brigitte Bardot look. Enjoy your stay in the attic - what an amazing view. Bathroom very cute too 🛀. Can't wait to see what you are upto next. Beautiful Blessings Mandy 👑 SA

[@TheChateauDiaries]

It was such fun to be Brigitte Bardot for a night! I felt like a little girl dressing up. I’m back in my bedroom now, but I enjoyed our little attic holiday!

[@josephinedavidson5968]

A wonderful Vlog. Light hearted and fun, Marie she is something else ! You stole the show on the catwalk but only because Isabella was not walking !! But you looked so glamorous, love the Yellow and orange dress you are wearing at present. I can’t imagine how much time, effort and work goes into making these Vlogs !! Hours and hours methinks. But well done

[@TheChateauDiaries]

The editing of the vlogs does take many hours, in which I lock myself away and become very useless, so I’m lucky I live with such understanding people! The yellow and orange dress is from Zara - when I find a new favourite dress I tend to wear it constantly! That one’s so cheerful 😀

[@jemmadobbygriffin3127]

Goinh back though and watching. Got to this had to comment that I love the way you say New Zealand 🌏

[@hsimpson6581]

the maquis has to feel strange being back in his old home and Happy you are the one to have it.

[@chasethecat3839]

Yes, that must be strange. Is he sad hd didn't keep it, happy for Stephanies success there? Or jealous? Did he wish he had tried to make a business of ghe chateau? I wonder....

[@susanbrown2909]

Marie is so sweet..bless her.

[@markwalton4383]

You are an absolute natural on the catwalk Stephanie ❤️

[@susanakurdi3563]

These were the best videos ,!🎉

[@vincentminor1638]

Stephanie, darling you oooozzz magnificence. Such a Beautiful human is so rear in this world. 😍❤💕💖💞

[@emilie1498]

I love love love your wonderful vlogs Stephanie! Always uplifting! Merci from a fellow half Frenchie!🤗

[@TheChateauDiaries]

Thanks! And hello, fellow European mongrel! We’re the best of both worlds 😉

[@emilie1498]

We are!😁

[@badapple65]

Ooh La La, the Chateau to only be a hobby now. Surely Stephanie got a huge modeling contract after this.

[@onedandylion]

Oh, what fun! You were a gorgeous Bardot. And Marie... how adorable is she up in the attic singing to herself? I have just discovered her on Instagram and am enjoying her quirky perspective on life at Lalande. :)

[@TheChateauDiaries]

I absolutely love Marie’s blog. It’s amazing that we live in the same place and experience the same things, yet our vision of it is quite different. I love her photos of Lalande life 💖

[@clairecarey8004]

Stylish chug of the plonk pre show 😂 love your outfits stunning, your knowledge is so interesting and good fun times. Loving your vlogs as always 🤗 and rock on Marie with mowing the lawn and catching the sun in your swimsuit why not ! X

[@TheChateauDiaries]

Marie is amazing, I think she manages to surprise me on a daily basis!

[@debralpateart8862]

What fun watching you girls model! Well done! You remind me so much of my great niece who is a actress, singer, dancer and doing very well on stage, lives in New York, New York. She has your happy, funny personality. Your substitute bedroom is inspiring! Love the fabrics and wallpaper. Happy weekend to you all! 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸

[@TheChateauDiaries]

Your niece’s life sounds so glamorous! I think the inhabitants of the château all need a little trip to New York! I’m out of the substitute room now, but it was a lot of fun up there!

[@debralpateart8862]

I have a 100+yr old set of wicker furniture from my mother that I recovered in a fern green toile fabric...after removing 11 layers of old upholstery and all the tacks! It took a long time but it was fun discovering the past looks. The fabric was found on a role at a garage sale for $10.00, about 10 yards. We have very similar tastes and creative abilities, its fun to watch you make what you need to restore your home, reminds me of my past jobs in my home. I look forward to seeing more adventures! Take care, Debra

[@TheChateauDiaries]

That sounds gorgeous, I love old wicker furniture - and uncovering past decorations!

[@adalineproulx9773]

Eek mention of centipede freaked me out my biggest phobia!! Lol michael reminds me of myself i procastinate 🤣 Loved the fashion show so much fun! My twins were in their dance studios fashion show for costume companies.

[@laplumedematante]

Mainly because you were playing up in it! How did the cricket go in the end?

[@chrisneedham5803]

The red dress really was made for you 'gorgeous' 👍

[@TheChateauDiaries]

Thanks! I loved that one, but I think my favourite was the gold one because it was so sparkly!

[@MillieOsborne]

Do you have a link to Marie's blog? Any chance you might have room for a couple of Canadians this Autumn? Snow-bound February...enjoying catching up with you?

[@JeffreysLittleVilla]

Where do U put all of your clothes and personal stuff if you rent out the entire chateau? -- Everyone looked beautiful on the catwalk! :)

[@Kylie-theBoxer]

Hi Stephanie, I LOVE your vlog! enjoy them every week !! May I ask, where did you get a pair of beautiful bedside hanging lights in the tower apartment Micheal is doing up ? I am in the middle of my Villa renovation in Spain.

[@TheChateauDiaries]

They’re from the French chain Alinea! I like them very much (I love pendants hanging down by the bed instead of bedside lights). And they’re not too expensive! They’ll work well in Michael’s apartment because he’s going for a more contemporary style than the rest of the château. You can find them here: www.alinea.com/fr-fr/p/loncino-suspension-a-1-lumiere-en-acier-noir-h110cm-25875515.html#page=10&start=1

[@Kylie-theBoxer]

Thank you so much for the info!! I will have a look right away ! Good luck for the rest of the week!!!
