The Chateau Diaries: WALLPAPER AND PARTY TIME!

[@nancyblandin755]

KAT!!! Brings it home, every time!! Love that girl!!

[@mariafaris653]

I have watched almost all your vlogs and enjoyed everyone.

[@lunaandstella825]

I love how Selmar always says ‘its not a problem’

[@janicepark6109]

Stephany I love your blog. I am binge watching the older ones because I started watching less than a year ago ago. I love the laughter and how you handle all the problems that come up. I also love your mommy she is just adorable. Would love to come and see you all in person. I am concerned about Marie She seems to have lost her joy for some reason. She is just lovely. Your blog has introduced me to others that I now follow like Dan !!!!! Thank you for a most enjoyable blog. 7:55

[@ginahamlyn2569]

Davy is a wealth of knowledge. Scratch his brain as much as possible while he's there. His skill set is very specialized and they usually charge a wack for consultations. You're so lucky to have him there - as a keen gardener, I'm very jealous!

[@rachaeljones6564]

I am starting to believe that Lalande is the only place you can truly never grow old. 😊💕

Michael and his cameraman 🤣. I like Selmar. He is a good guy for the chateau. Dan is good for the garden and for Isabelle.

Hi Stephany, what a lovley channel you have, i stumbled on it by accident. an guess what, we are practicly neighbors!, my parents own a house just up the hill in Chezeau Moreau! We can see your roof from our atelier!, my parents have had it for over 20 years, and i walk past your chateau whenever i have the change when visiting from holland. I never knew who lived there, till now! lovley to see all the lovley surroundings, and fianlly the inside as well! greets, Sophie, from up the hill

[@endeavouringit]

Lucky you, you'll have to pop in and see her

[@robinchurch5658]

After watching Michael’s wonderful vlog from the party, it was so fun to see Stephanie’s version! These people know how to play as hard as they work. And now there’s a Dream Team for the garden, so happy for Isabelle to have such talented help. Can’t wait to see the final decision on the wallpaper-so many beautiful possibilities

[@postcardsfromengland7682]

Love davie and his garden plans, another clever person at the chateau

[@breakfastattiffanys741]

His very humble of his brilliance and unique looking, a special aura.

[@phoenixwych]

Kat is quickly becoming one of my favorites! She reminds me SO much of my oldest daughter...they have the same snarky sense of humor and they even look a little alike! I hope she's at LaLande for a very long time! I miss Gerry!...AND Percy! I wish they were both back at LaLande! And Selmar is looking so handsome...I would love to see more of his restorations.

[@AB-hy6ym]

Kat is fab ⭐️

[@AB-hy6ym]

stephen catherine she’s such a breath of fresh air, her personality is wonderful, I hope she stays like Marie & Nati 👍

[@WilldoAldone]

Glad to hear Dan talking more and sharing ideals. He and Salmar are men with work ethics.

[@martemacdougall1985]

Interior designers in Canada and USA call these window treatments "Swags and Jabots" over Draperies. I love the combinations you're choosing from. Have fun!

[@josephinedavidson5968]

Just wish Percy and Isabella were together x

[@Adriana_mg]

Jo, that has been on my mind too. ❤️

[@barbaragrace1992]

I dont think it will be too long. My friends are now travelling out of south africa.

[@collfoxley2658]

Prayers for them, you can feel their heartbreak, but also their strength is shining through!

[@kathleenclark5877]

Jo Davidson Every time Isabelle is Skyping Percy, I feel so awful that they are not together. He needs to come to the Chateau so everyone can pamper the two of them and admire their lovely love story. Poor Percy alone in South Africa.

[@mauralyons2713]

South Africa are not allowing international flights until Feb 2021, unless it's for repatriation and that date could be extended 😔😪

Dan is my favorite and now also the guy from Belgium

[@ra_jcat6607]

[@franceshnni7380]

kat is really one of my favorite people in lalande

[@franceshnni7380]

Angela C perhaps as this episode suggests but I think happy people could really get along with each other well

[@teresacarle294]

🦋 Yes, she is a character. Selmar certainly was confident in how he swooped Kat in his arms for that dance hold. Maybe he feels comfy flirting with her bcos of her bold & brave personality. 🦋

[@sandraalmeida1772]

I think that white curtains with swags and tails in the reverse fabric (with the white peacocks and darker blue background) would be very gorgeous in that room

[@barbibutton9619]

That sounds lush, yes

[@CherylSimser]

Agreed. That would be gorgeous. :)

[@sorcha259]

Gorgeous and will be so fresh and crisp

[@miatt8389]

[@rayn8740]

OMG... The pergola is finally becoming a reality. BRAVO!

[@nickdamon2721]

The half paneling and picture rail is a brilliant idea, It will bring more architectural interest into the room and cut down on the sq. footage of the costly wallpaper. I would go with the blue Peacock wallpaper, it is in keeping with the branding of the chateau.

[@shutterfocus]

Percy this must be so frustrating and soooooooo long!! I always think of you when I see Isabelle.

[@postcardsfromengland7682]

Hope you are together soon x

[@janetthomas8244]

I know how they feel. It's 10 months since my husband and I have been apart.

Stephanie needs a few dozen more Dan's and Selmar's to actually implement all the ideas.

[@janhenry9733]

Were it not for Covid, I might have been able to convince my husband to go this year. I have a feeling there's quite a few of us watching and waiting for the right time to go...

[@cathleenjamieson1367]

What I was suggesting as a interior designer that you take your inspiration from the hotel and create a border with the new smaller version. This may be created as frames or panels throughout the room. As I mentioned you may age is this new wallpaper with tea stain

[@sorcha259]

Oh I love this idea

[@carnation6827]

Natie looking like a Spice Girl!💗✨

[@mystrength5640]

David’s knowledge and know how is fantastic! Dan your excellent skills are plentiful!

[@floraldays1865]

It is so enjoyable to watch Dan explain what is going on in the garden and his knowledge of such things!

[@teresacarle294]

🌳Yes, and Dan-the-Man made fast work of removing those trees. Zip, zip! 🌱 Can't wait to see the garden trellis walkway he will build with 💪Selmar. 💚Love, love, love shady spots outdoors to sit & wander😉. Picture the ladies in fancy dress from a couple of centuries ago promenading about there too. It will definitely bring the overall symmetry the area is missing from that earlier age too. Extra wood or not, I like Dan's notion of doing the frame in metal. That would likely last longer than wood & require lower maintenance. Even Davy agreed that it would work. Although the material is not traditional, it could be a very interesting addition as long as it followed a more historic design. 🛠 Guess Selmar wants to show off his woodworking skills with the new tools. Hope Davey draws up some landscape plans for the property. Looks like they need to take copious notes while he is there. He seems to have a lot of valuable info to impart on how to best shape the garden in terms of pruning & plantings too.

[@lindefraser9148]

This was such an enjoyable vlog and now I understand how Stephanie had to spend time away from the Chateau party in order to finish and upload it. So well worth the effort! Sending greetings to Percy. Wishing you well and reunited with Isabelle asap. :).

[@tonehurst]

I have been so busy I haven't watched for a while. I have missed Lalande so much. It's total escapism. I love it when Dan says 'I can weld' and Steph says 'Of course you can' .

[@karlasmit7535]

Kat is so funny.

[@judithjordan3474]

Instead of a cone, have you thought of making it a chess piece? A castle with half a dozen crenelations around the top would be wonderful and in keeping with the theme! And if a frame was needed to "shape" it, Dan could weld it!

[@aurorad3522]

about the arbor and welding, we call that historically adequate. Work with what you have by reusing what has been laying about for years as an excellent advertisement for recycle,reuse,repurpose.

[@teresacarle294]

♻️ All about being sustainable & using the material on hand🌎. Think the metal would be fine if Davey was able to help Dan come up with a suitable design plan. It really would last longer & require considerably less labor or maintenance over wood.

[@karenbrunton6529]

The new peacock wallpaper is a much lighter blue. I think the room would lose richness and graphic punch due to the lower contrast. I hope the other brand of wallpaper is more saturated in color. And I agree that the larger scale suits the room--it's grander.

[@2Sugarbears]

Maybe I am just overtired and stressed but I forgot I watching and felt as if were there. I told you which fabric I liked and was a bit surprised that none of you girls responded. Do do do do do do do do...the Twilight Zone.

[@gnarbeljo8980]

I love that wallpaper and have been considering the version in brown on blue for my apartment. The original is actually blue and red an a French copy of a typical Balinese fabric! If you’ve been to Bali and find the original colorway online you’ll see! It’s SO Bali and a lovely print! I know my comment is late just catching up on missed videos, just some fun info.

[@mcinspirations2080]

I would love to see the reverse fabric as curtains (with the white peacock) ... Thanks for all!!

[@denisemarle4141]

Fabulous fun for breakfast viewing! Loved everyone's party costumes and Hanni, colour co-ordinated with her drink, looked terrific channeling her inner Olivia Newton-John! It looks like all the next projects are well in the works, can't wait to see the walkway after Selmar and Dan work their magic, along with the plans Stephanie has for bedroom wallpaper, paneling and curtains..... now dare I look at the world the news... my thoughts are with all those on the west coast of the US - fire is something Australians know too well... 🧡🦘

[@sunrise1304]

Steel pergola is better than wood and will last forever Dan and Davie are spot on!

[@risalangdon9883]

Stephanie! I love your choice for the curtains!!! It will compliment the wallpaper without over shadowing it! It will make the whole room just POP! Love that 1st sample with the swirl design. It really compliments the design in the wallpaper perfectly! And the reverse pattern. It will be amazing!!!!

[@Kerrin77JIH]

The welded uprights can be wrapped, or sleeved, with wood. Covering even just the upright portions would be beautiful, as the vines will cover the extended roof parts and the overall look will be very esthetically pleasing. Grapevines are gorgeous and are very fitting for the gorgeous garden and Chateau.

[@briantracy1324]

22:41 Instead of guessing at the scale of the peacocks you just need to determine how often the pattern repeats in inches or mm's , if you get that right then the peacocks will be correct.

[@cliffhorman6846]

As ever so interesting. The garden will look lovely once the pagoda is built. Everyone is putting in so much effort. The peacock wallpaper is so so beautiful. Glad the lads vised. Love em!

[@kendallricker9633]

Would putting up a wood paneling and shelf at the 4-5 foot' height which would make a perfect place for placing art and cut the amount you need for wall paper, you don't want to place your art so tall that you strain your neck to see the art. Love the window treatments you choose. Thanks for posting.

Making grape juice is easy, just bring the grapes to a boil, simmer untill they’re all broken and strain them. Voilá!

[@JohannaVeerenhuis]

Oh and if you’d think you’d end up with just a little juice, it’s highly concentrated... 😊

[@300books]

Stephanie said they had a juicer, so they could probably make fresh grape juice, and maybe even mix it with apples for a nice juice mix.

[@laurag2112]

Wow! When Stephanie joined the party the boys sure took notice!

For future wall papering.... keep in mind some manufacturers will resize the image for you. Obviously this is room is finished by now, but in the future contact the manufacturer to see about sizing the image up or down. Today its literally a matter o a few key strokes before starting the printer. My apologies if someone has already brought this to your attention in a prior comment. Super fun vlog. I genuinely enjoy the love and laughter. Cheers!

Do the trick with the borders like the man that decorated the beautiful hotel said. Wherever there is an off shape, use your wall paper borders to decorate with for the bedroom!!
