I have been watching this channel for slightly over a year. Several times I have had chills at the beauty that Stephanie shows in fabrics, plates, gardens, dresses, etc. But, today, I think I literally could cry at the thought that LaLande will be the repository for such magnificent paneling. This is historic and incredible. For generations LaLande will be the home for paneling that dates before the French Revolution. Just amazing.

If you get hold of a metal grate doorstep, you can simply lay the tiles on it, and very easily grate the lime cement of in 30 seconds max!

[@theduchess9019]

Sadly, too many ancient valuable French properties (townhouses, chateaus, etc.) end up being sold bit by bit, starting with the lands when there are some, then the furniture, the paneling, mantlepieces and sometimes even the rest (that is destroying the house entirely). But as you rightly say, it is some confort to see that at least these panels will be reused in some other historical property.

[@JoeDurobot]

@@theduchess9019 *That being said thins are not always taken with the owner's permission, a lot of items get stolen.* *I'm not saying it's the case here, but if you buy furniture or paneling from antique dealers you don't always know if it was acquired legally!* *Art works even get stolen from museums and they end up in private homes.*

[@theduchess9019]

@@JoeDurobot Yes, this is true, but in this case, they say the paneling comes directly from the townhouse it was in and for which it was probably created in the first place. What’s worst is when perfectly preserved estates get torn to pieces and the bits sold abroad. At least, Stephanie’s reusing this paneling in a French chateau where many will be able to see it, on KZbin at least and maybe on site for B&B patrons. I hope all of this will be restored and installed _dans les règles de l’art_ though...

Semar did a great job on the compost bins. They allow the air to circulate through the bins ,perfect for what is going to be put in the garden.
