The little table is by Maitland-Smith which is a high-quality American company founded by an antique dealer from London and located in North Carolina (our furniture center). Your table is a vintage piece, no longer in production. Looks great in the study.

They sold other Maitland Smith pieces in the auction, including their doll house cocktail bars. They looked incredible, but they were too expensive for us

Staying at Château de LaLande was a wonderful dream come true for me. I had a hint what was going to be changing in Bonne Maman and it was exciting news. Who knew how exciting the new furnishings were. The Royals had slept on these furnishings when they stayed in Italy. I loved Bonne Maman. It did feel as if I was in a very special room for grandmothers. I certainly have that title.

We had such a lovely time with you, Suellen! And Philip was saying how much he enjoyed his time in La Chatre with you ❤️

The joke at the beginning about putting a carnivorous fish in the lake and Mummy’s influence was laugh out loud funny. 😂 Thank you for this adventure, it was lovely. I loved the old shop with all of the fabrics, so rich in color and texture. Looking forward to see the set up of the bedroom.! How’s the Grand Salon coming along? Have you fixed the settling problem yet. Thanks for taking “me” along with you. ❤ You should make a Chateau Cookbook, even with recipes that are similar to what you eat abroad that you enjoy. 🎉

Maria finishing the video playing the piano beautifully, you all dancing in the kitchen was the end highlight. Thank you so much for sharing this. Just a little tip Stephanie, I always carry a small flat packet at the bottom of my handbag of hand wipes, these remove any stain immediately on silk, cashmere or wool and cotton. Just hold the wipe into the stain to wet it a minute then gently wipe the stain from outside edge to centre, it will dry in a few seconds with the stain completely gone.

Well a girl can dream! ♥️♥️ Sigh!

[@bigboy77dk]

​@@TheChateauDiariesI know, I'm late.. But I think the yellow of the fabric works better with the pink in the bathroom, than the yellow on the walls in Bonne mamman, because they are both equally "clear", if that makes sense. And what the two patterns have in common, is the green. I do realize, that the green in the fabric, and the back of the bedcrown, is way more "dusty", than the lightest green in the bathroom, but I think, if you could find a green, that would work with both rooms, then there is your solution 😊

[@elisabeth6108]

As you said, that fabric looks made for Bonne Mamman. The final room will be magnificent. I love Venice and was delighted to get a little Venice Fix. What wonderful finds for the chateau!
