I laughed till I cried. she's magnificent! thank you for taking us along to the church, how amazingly wonderful & an incredible gem you have right there! Wow... She may have ignored you but she said yes darling yes darling... she understood and did what she wanted to oh I love her!

Benny Hill music added to that clip would be wonderful!! Gotta love that Lady.

if you turn the gas down on the mower (should be a lever on the right side with a rabbit and turtle) it'll go slower and be easier to control. love from Indiana!

I was going to suggest that perhaps a person could reset before the next race.

[@JBPalmBeach]

A little tip on the peahens babies. They need hand holding and feeding to get them to be friendly to humans and not attack guests. Because if you have a rowdy peababy it will be harder to get it accustomed to all the different visitors. The experience of your visitors being able to visit, touch and take vids and pics during weddings etc will be a really special time.

[@dagz6831]

That is a very good point as they have had one in the past that was...well not a nice guy.

[@dreamchaseruk]

Oh my goodness, such belly laughs watching Isabelle on her new mower... Like a child with a new toy, delightful ❤️❤️❤️

[@dagz6831]

Stephanie truly does love her home and all of the items that will become a part of it. I really appreciate that she does not base her choices on what is a purely historical moment in time or forces a modern aesthetic into these spaces. Rather, she respects the history of everything and takes the time to live with it and so allows it to tell her what it wants. She says "it will tell me where it is going to go. It needs to speak to me." We are all just dots it time and that becomes sharper when living in a place with such history. What is a simple object to some, she sees as a majestic thing that needs care and deserves to be protected as much as possible, even if it is an old piece of fabric. All of the laughter is great but what I adore about all of this is the true and honest love that I see for all of those who have the privilege to enter the gates of the Chateau de Lalande. Their joy gives me joy and I know I'm not the only one to think so.

[@dyinteriors]

I am a designer in New York City . May I make a suggestion on the Fortuny fabric as it is enormously expensive. Upholster your gilt Louis XVI style headboard , a small bench at the foot of the bed to catch the bed cover at night when your are sleeping, and perhaps two very comfortable bergeres to be places about the room in the Fortuny fabric. It will last longer on these items, as they will see less wear and tear than draperies and bedspreads. For draperies, I would use lined and interlined silk taffeta in a matching delicate pink tone to compliment the Fortuny. I would also use the same pink tone taffeta with a single lining on a bedspread cover. The taffeta items can be replaced for more moderate pricing in 15 years when it is in need of sprucing up. In this way the Fortuny can be speared the damage cause by all the extra handling that draperies and bed covering require by design.
