Step Inside: A Magical Tour of my Chateau! 🏰✨

[@womenendorsed5905]

OH. MY. GOSH. You have accomplished SO MUCH. It's looking gorgeous, charming, warm, and delightful inside and out! You must be so proud!

[@northerngirl4666]

I absolutely love the mural on the left in your office with the rolling hills! I think it would really define the space instead of another wallpaper. The colours are stunning and the landscape is utterly gorgeous!

[@kylieharrison3782]

I totally agree with you. ❤

[@anniedodds8150]

Me too!

[@annawinkel6509]

Me too! It’s gorgeous!

[@Bluegrassprincess]

At first I wasn't a fan of the mural but now woth the other option I'm re thinking

[@kirstenweyter4431]

❤ The Mural

[@melodyfisher1512]

Your guests are in for such a treat! The chateau has never looked more beautiful. You have made every square inch so charming! Thank you…this tour was a pleasure! Good job, Bruce. The kitchen has come so far. It fits the rest of the place now…Gorgeous!

[@biblianabovery4092]

I have been subcribed and watching this transformation since day one. What a labor of love and beautiful outcome of The Chataeu!!!! So impressive. Congrats.

[@denises9426]

Absolutely STUNNING. Do you ever pinch yourself and think “This is all mine!”? What a beautiful magical place you have created!! ❤ c'est magnifique

[@janeblandford852]

I really like the mural with the lovely hills and trees. Your chateau is gorgeous. Every room is perfect. I wish you a fabulous retreat and hope everything goes super well!!

[@TerraTopics]

I really like the wallpaper on the left. With the hills. Because it has soft blues and greens I think it transitions from the living room well, and it’s a softer entry into the lighter kitchen. The blue wallpaper with blue painted walls it’s super dark for such a soft kitchen.

[@marciadynes7628]

Wow Abby you should be so proud on what you have accomplished is such a short period of time the gardens coming along nicely and all bedrooms and Kitchen Bruce adding his magic touches the dream team exciting your vision is now Come to light thank you for sharing your hard work !Everyone will have a most memorable time at the retreat with a wonderful host you got this girl ! 😀🌞

[@lottieluse5011]

Amazing! I think you have taken a weary, tired old place and made it Smile again! Everything looks so lovely. My favorite was the Jasmine bedroom. Well, well done! Superb!

[@candiskubiak730]

I love all the French curved foot board beds! Were you able to use queen size mattresses? Everything looks lovely!

[@deirdrecerasa3932]

Abby, the chateau looks gorgeous! The guest rooms are charming (love the names) and the baths functional and pretty. The garden and fountain look lovely! Bruce is the champion of the kitchen. Hope this retreat is all you and your guests hoped for. ❤

[@fire8345]

BRUCE IS AWSOME!!! Please can't he stay for ever? He could live in the little house.

[@crystalreynolds279]

Your chateau is beautiful,chic and elegant. What you will choose for wallpaper in your office will look perfect. My humble opinion would be to select the large printed wall paper with the landscape. You keep the blue theme but it will draw in and echo your lovely garden and harmonize with the outdoor sounds of your fountain and birdsong. After watching your grand tour you can see the same echo of outdoor color and garden light through the porthole windows. Maybe resale the blue sofa and put the teal sofa and chairs back in your office. Just my thoughts and most assuredly not personal criticism of your home. Well done Abby!

[@Rebecca-v4y]

Love the wallpaper with the hills! Neat mural look. The other matches too closely. Just an opinion!

[@essieessie5399]

WOW, I can't believe the transformation in the short time you've owned the chateau. You've all worked so hard and everything looks amazing. You've been very blessed with Bruce and all the people who helped get you there. I can't wait to visit for one of your retreats!!

[@susanhernandez7290]

Bruce it looks great! Very beautiful.

[@richardnault9493]

The results are stunning , thanks for the GRAND TOUR !

[@Cloudymoon916]

Thank you for taking us on a tour, I've been dying to see it all set up. It's absolutely beautiful. You should do a KZbin tour once a year so we can see all the large and small changes you make. Your guests are going to love it.

[@msmorrisonspeaks]

Yes, we ARE gonna love seeing it, in person; wahooo!

[@amandahugo1421]

Wonderful to see your rooms.Each one a jewel. Congratulations on your achievement in bringing your chateau back to life.

[@susanhernandez7290]

Can't believe how everything came together so beautifully done

[@monicabronson4118]

Be still my heart! The château is looking so beautiful it makes me want to cry. My prayer is that I get to come to a future retreat.

[@BarbaraHayes-nx4mc]

Amazing transformation of the chateau and grounds. You and your team have worked extremely hard to create a wonderful experience for everyone. Well done.

[@valerieb.4912]

Bonjour Abby, I still like the one on the left for your Office. I agree the one on the right is lost at that size. The furniture in the Grand Room is absolutely perfect (smart move to get rid of the red furniture) and well balanced with the colors. As usual wonderful work Bruce. I hope your retreat is full of fun, laughter, and fond memories for all whom are there.

[@nikiplaysgamessveen9223]

The wall paper on the left is perfect😍😍😍😍 amazing.

[@monpeyssenemmanuelle6572]

Merci pour le tour!! c'est magnifique !! j'adore les chambres, on a envie de dormir dans chacune d'elles !! ce chateau est lumineux, acceuillant, spacieux et tres bien renové !! Bravo !!! les salles de bains sont tres reussies ! tout est PARFAIT !!!

[@jennaarcher6606]

The wallpaper on the left! Amazing!

[@keelyalsdorf9848]

Bruce has done an amazing job with the title work! It really compliments the beauty of the repurposed wood around the air vent! ❤ the kitchen is absolutely beautiful!

[@Tigerlilart]

Wow stunning you have worked so hard and the result is exquisite, what a beautiful place for a retreat. ❤

[@detroitdiscussion9495]

The whole chateau looks fabulous. A little fancy but also light, airy and comfortable. For the office maybe the landscape wallpaper, then the fountain painting, TV on the mantel with couch toward it and a chair? Maybe 2 chairs for chatting looking out the window if there is room.

[@CuriousCalligrapher]

I love the mural wallpaper, very pretty!

[@TerraTopics]

The teal furniture looks amazing in that room.

[@jenniferwallace7185]

You have worked so hard. Beautiful

[@svg7335]

I like the new wallpaper for a different location. The large mural seems better and would make more of a statement. But i just heard you say the motif will be larger, so that should help.In the grand salon, I'd consider pulling the furniture a bit back more from the rug, especially the chairs and the green couch. It just seems claustrophobic snuggled in so tightly in such a grand space. 😊 I think Karen's painting would look good in the office. You passed by the sitting room area on the bedroom floor. What are you calling it? You've done a good job furnishing the bedrooms. And the garden looks wonderful. It's serene where one wants to take a deep breath, sigh, and just relax and listen to nature. What on Earth are you going to do to fill your time now that the renovations are almost done? 😂

[@RhondaBAZ]

Everything is really beautiful..straighten the lamp shades in dining room..and get candelabras for buffet..guest rooms are very pretty,and windows to die for,and love your room,the paint is perfect..a beautiful chateau you're bringing back to life! Pat yourself on the back for all you've accomplished,and your vision of what is to come! Your guest will be very pleased..how could they not be...

[@CMB0401]

Incredible and beautifully done!! All that work, what an accomplishment 💕😊💕

[@lelman5462]

Amazing! Simply amazing that you have accomplished so much in such a short time! It is beautiful.

[@hesterjacobs9517]

Congrats, the Chateau is beautiful and clean, well done

[@Pauleysteph]

Very amazed in what you've accomplished in just around a year. Amazing.

[@a.phillips6892]

Absolutely beautiful place, outside and in! I loved the wallpaper sample to the left as well! What lucky guests to be able to stay there!

[@chateauchronicles]

Glad you enjoyed it. I am indeed blessed!

[@saftabc5962]

Looking beautiful indeed! Well done Bruce.

[@deanviewofachateaumybandbi7899]

Fantastic. It's looking good.

[@Maria-fd7re]

Love the color palate in the grand salon!

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

Your place looks so promising and stunning at the same time,. We can sense here how happy you are with your home. 🧡🧡

[@chateauchronicles]

Yes, I'm super content here! 😊

[@emmashipp2734]

The pretty purple plant is called Campanula. There are lots of different varieties but it especially loves to grow in walls and rockeries, and doesn’t cause damage. It will repeat flower in warmer weather ❤ The chateau looks stunning x

[@forerunner7]

WOW! Absolutely stunning! I bing watched all your videos and have watched your renovation progress.. It looks AMAZING!!

[@chateauchronicles]

Thank you! 😊

[@vintagemoss9578]

Everything looks beautiful 😊

[@leepiche8669]

Hi Abby, I"ve been watching your videos weekly since the first one. The transformation of your chateau is amazing. I'm one of your many cheerleaders on your journey to get things done just the way you want them. I thoroughly enjoyed the grand tour and could feel the care and attention to detail in each room. The colors and textures and warmth is so inviting. A special mention... hats off to Tomas and Bruce for their hard work and dedication. Your accomplishments remind me of the saying, "She thought she could... and so she did."

[@mlomarechal6877]

Tout est absolument ravissant. Bravo !! 👏👏

[@welovefluffycats]

Love those creaky ole floors😁

[@sandycopeland790]

Looks fabulous! Hope to visit some day.

[@delightfuldesignsbydenise9710]

It’s Truly more than Remarkable…all that you have accomplished. I’d say never under-estimate the power of greens just cut from your yard to add to vases also. God bless all your Ventures!! -SE TX❤

[@Burnberg1]

Beautiful, so much work!!!!! You’ve accomplished a great deal! (I’d really like to see a larger rug in the grand salon!)

[@earthmama5659]

OMG! YOU DID GOOD GIRL! EXCELLENT!🌟🌟🌟

[@chriswilson9126]

Abby, I have been following you from the beginning of your Chateau purchase and adventure. You have done an amazing job on restoring the charm to the entire retreat/chateau. I just love it. Elegant for sure and your guests are going to love it. Wishing you a successful and fun filled retreat. I would like to make a quick suggestion as a small garden, landscaping business. @thepottedmum here in Guelph Ontario Canada, add some low maintenance greenery to your guest rooms. Pothos, is an easy low maintenance plant low watering required. But as you did the tour I spotted areas where some greenery would be beautiful and also add oxygen to the rooms. The rooms / bathrooms with windows at floor level and circular quaint windows would benefit from a smaller planter of pothos. I think it would also be great if your gardeners could actually edge out around your gardens so they are more defined. I love waiting for your weekly release. Enjoy the retreat. 👍🏻😎

[@kathysykora1195]

Absolutely beautiful ❤ The bedrooms are each their own and lovely ❤ Best of luck on your writing retreat!

[@EmilyBoltz]

Abby Abby Abby!! What you have done ! It is Stunning!! Is there anything more romantic than a gorgeous chateau with the wind whistling in the background? The attendees will have a blast I’m sure . Oh I totally forgot to mentioned how awesome your Kitchen looks! You had a vison and it’s perfect. Thank you for the tour - you should be very proud at what you have done❤

[@judesampson8222]

Everything is looking so lovely. What a great job you have done!

[@judithtorgerson6279]

Wowza. You have done a gorgeous job on the chateau. Everything looks lovely.

[@IngegerdM]

[@lisanevins3605]

It's just stunning Abby! I'm sure it is most spendid to view in person. It's only going to get better Abby. Sweet Chloe must be resting as she is a working a dog overseeing the restoration of a Chateau. ❤

Everything is lovely! I can't believe what you have done in such a short time! Bruce is a wonder! (a keeper)

[@linzilou3714]

Well done! All that hard work is paying off. Bruce is great. One thing I'd say is the scale of the carpets and art needs to be much bigger. Nonetheless it looks fabulous. I'd love to visit x

[@cherylmckay6806]

🌿🌸🌿 Oh how I wish a Chateau would have been in my existence. You home is so beautiful, you are a lucky lady. 🌿🌸🌿

[@donlop9103]

[@annawinkel6509]

I love the 1st wallpaper sample on the left. It’s amazing all you’ve accomplished! Your bedrooms are all very charming and inviting. Good work!

[@AuntieDeb71]

So much done, and looking awesome. Maybe one day, when you're not busy (LOL) you could put use your painting skills to do a wee bit of a trompe l'oeil on the plaster fill-in part of that stone arch in the kitchen. The copper pots are just... (chef's kiss).

[@maryhirsch2909]

Everything looks so beautiful! Bruce has done so much. We have a lot of wind too. Looking forward to next week with the retreat. The flowers look awesome.

[@sarahmiller5632]

[@lgrigg5439]

Just love bruce, a true gentleman

[@dawnbarnes8729]

Everything is so pretty and inviting! 🥰 I can see all the hard work that has been done. When I remember what it was like when you first moved in. 😱 I absolutely love the kitchen. The chef will be very happy working in that space! I was hoping you would choose the other paper for your office. It would have been so pretty, but maybe I just can’t see it because the other sample didn’t show it off as well. I’m sure it will be beautiful just as everything else has been. I totally agree and am glad you got rid of the red furniture in the grande salon. It was just too harsh amongst the other suites of furniture. Good luck with your retreat. ❤️😊

[@68paulak]

What I wouldn’t do to come visit you and your home 😊 Absolutely beautiful, like a fairy tale.

[@cherylmcnair5594]

Well done 🎉❤you’ve come so far in the restoration of your beautiful Chateau. The birds tweeting, the wind blowing, and the sounds of the floor boards as you moved around the place was very atmospheric. Bruce is a great asset 😊 Have fun with your retreat.

[@robbiemoriarty7499]
