TOUR THE UNRENOVATED PRIVATE WING OF THIS CHATEAU!

[@Dr.med.GeorgeGrant]

A fairy named Rebecca unleashed a magic spell, she didn‘t know what happened, but somehow it went well. Her clever way of handling the items on display, it shaped a magic kingdom in which her talent lay. At her side a cherub, by the name of Tim, who lifted all the hardware that she found within. Together they did magic there for all to see and you might be inspired when you come to tea. There even is a gift shop with treasures to pursue, chosen by a fairy who caters just for you. 🏆😍👏🏻

How lovely and very clever xxx well done x

[@vanessaisom8620]

Chateau de la Ruche struck lucky when this family bought it! Such a laid back couple, with a huge talent and an eye for detail, nothing rushed but everything thought through. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the two episodes spent at this Chateau. Thank you.

[@chrismaraccini8108]

Yes I love this couple, nothing phony about them.

[@AvidHistory]

Stephanie, I’ve enjoyed all the chateaux you’ve visited and shared with us recently. I much prefer watching you and your “show” than any TV show! The TV show is cheesy and it’s so frustrating that we can’t see so many renovations the various chatelaine’s are working on because we have to wait until the show has aired. I’ve said many times that the France department of tourism should pay you as you are an incredible ambassador and educator on all things French. I think you are also the best marketing ambassador for all the chateaux that you’ve recently vlogged and shared with us.

[@brendaharrisireland]

Quite agree with you - they are doing a great job of promoting each other and entertaining us at the same time. Those TV shows are for a narrower audience and is it worth it to them??

[@patricianathan4676]

I second and third that, Stephanie is a wonderful marketing ambassador.

[@truthfinder6246]

I love that you said that.

[@nancyjohnson50]

Rebecca is such a lovely hostess! How lovely that she opened up her home to all of us! Such a perfectly beautiful home! Stephanie is such a perfect interviewer.

[@yummboy2]

Rebecca is quite the decorating talent. Seriously, to have accomplished so much on a tight budget is quite the challenge. The undone parts of the chateau are going to be quite something to see, I feel sure. Rebecca and Tim make quite the team!

[@darbyking-maillot4105]

I LOVE her aesthetic! Her bedrooms are perfection.

[@CarolChillsCasually]

The unfinished side is so interesting. Love seeing that side of chateau life. This home is so lovely. Thank you to the couple for allowing us to see and thank you ms Jarvis for doing these videos.

[@janetburridge8423]

Oh I was captivated by everything in this beautiful, beautiful chateau. I hung on to every word that Rebecca uttered. What inspiration!

[@bethanyeaton9835]

Rebecca has a lovely design sense. I really enjoyed these tours.

[@heidigresh2743]

I like her clean decorating style. It feels clean but not cold. It is warm and inviting.

[@ludmilabevan3283]

What a beautiful chateau! I love the simplicity and tranquillity of design. Even the unfinished rooms of private quarters look stylish as if the walls are meant to be untouched. Wishing the owners all the very best in achieving their dream. Thank you, Stephany for sharing different chateaus and different visions of their owners. Everyone is so individual and unique including you! Such a pleasure to watch. Best of luck to you all.

[@kristyrash927]

Rebecca’s atelier looks magical.

[@jennibunny5719]

🧚🏻‍♂️🧚🏻🧚‍♀️My thoughts exactly! 🧚🏻‍♂️🧚🏻🧚‍♀️

[@kerrydarwin6915]

The international family of La Lande are amazing ambassadors for not only France, but showcasing other French Chateau. Stephanie always shows us the huge amount of work it takes to keep these beautiful homes functioning and the amount of work required to keep them as both a home and business.

[@vanessaschofield7927]

thankyou for showing us the unrenovated wing of Tim and Rebecca's chateau . The views are stunning from the window's and they have done such a tremendous job of renovating. Rebecca is very talented as is Tim . The grim loo is truely grim but i am sure they will make an excellent job of renovation of said loo.

[@nicolethijs5428]

What a beautiful chateau and Rebecca’s decorating is superb! Totally my taste. I could move in without removing a thing!

[@kellyhawes8901]

Rebecca’s sense of style is magical. Serene and elegant . Stephanie should collaborate with her to finish both Nati’s apartment and her bedroom

[@frangeorge5962]

Lovely creative couple. Absolutely love their remodeled, restored rooms. Very calm, serene settings.

[@letitiahansford307]

Its all so beautiful: the old, the new, the process and the future. Thanks for taking us along.

[@carolweaver3269]

This was just so lovely! I enjoyed this lovely Chateau de la Ruche! So comfortable and beautiful looking and in the process of being so divine! The Chandeliers certainly are exquisite! Wish I could have bought one from the store. Many surprises. Bless Rebecca and Tim in all they do at this Chateau. Thank you so much Stephanie for taking us on this trip to this chateau so we can see this family that are so gracious, humble and kind. Te children must truly love all the room and fun on top floor? I thought it was sweet how the parents have their own room to stay in and a nice window to see out upon the land * many of the really grand windows for that really nd it truly makes a difference. I could just be in the kitchen or the other rooms and look outside all day long and dreams . Usd to make goals and reach many of them, even if not all, but now I dream! lol We are lucky we can be part of Chateau Diaries and we do love Chateau de la Lande, Stephanie and everyone else who works or volunteers there.

[@MiuMiuG]

This really puts things into perspective. It's easier to see now just how great a labour of love and how much commitment is needed to bring a Chateau to life.

[@sandraweiler5971]

Higgledy-piggledy… Loved this video Stephanie and Rebecca. Rebecca, your decorating style sends me over the moon. Thank- you! 🌸

[@andrewford9287]

Rebecca & Tim have a lovely home. Good to see the parts that are yet to be done. 💐💜x

[@rockyhrndz]

Out of all the Chateaus that Stephanie has visited I think this one was the best.

[@shellydsouza8902]

Talented couple, beautiful chateau! Brilliant interviewer! Thank you!

[@sorchaliving]

The sitting room, rustic chic, perfectly en vogue!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much for showing us around the beautiful Château De La Ruche. So good to see the unrestored parts of the building, what a lovely couple 🥰🏰

[@juliebyrne4170]

Stephanie you are such a natural when doing these tours! You are so positive, kind and entertaining to watch. I especially enjoy your interactions with all your chateau guests and family. All the laughter and joy is incredible to watch!

[@ttbko]

Such a lovely house and such nice people talking with such nice people

[@paulam.5785]

Rebecca, I can't wait to see your library complete with beautiful chandelier. My absolute dream along with comfy chairs and a table for a cuppa. Stephanie, thank for sharing this tour. Please go back when Rebecca and Tim have had time to do more renos.

[@lmaier5171]

I just love your house and watching how you went about the renovations. Lovely flowers surround the house.

[@lindsayblundall8140]

What a lovely place, you’ve done wonders with the space. Loved seeing the undone areas, makes us appreciate your hard work xx

[@jayneturnbull5041]

Thank you for letting us see the 'other side' of chsteau life. Loved this vlog and hearing Rebecca's stories.

[@mjforzamora]

This channel deserves millions of subs, such a treasure to watch on KZbin.

[@lisahall9430]

Loved this, I adore this chateau and Rebecca, she’s so lovely 💕

[@albertpeckham8708]

What a lovely home. They are doing a very credible job at taking on such a task, but, I think they are in love with it. Bon voyage.

[@anajanaj5846]

Rebecca’s style is lovely and everything is tasteful and full of care and attention .

[@LuluBowenTarot]

This was just lovely. I'm a few hundred kilometres south, in a smaller property and dream of something like this. Our area just doesn't have these beautiful types of buildings, unfortunately. I love the windows and the views, the trees and the stunning lawns, and the flower beds and colours just make my heart sing to see them!! Was a blessing to see this!

[@tgcrafts2536]

What a beautiful Chateau looking forward to seeing the Maurice House 🥰 Stephanie seemed very impressed by what they have both achieved

[@dalewest4967]

I just love this Chateau, what an amazing job there doing.

[@MissCDM1979]

Those massive trees are incredible!!

[@sunrise1304]

Stephanie is always positive and encouraging , what a wonderful person ! Cheers! ;)

[@raffaellavitiello1762]

Who ever film this video was absolutely clever , and artistic . None of that up updown camera that make you sick and attention to the smallest details. Well done . I enjoye this immensely . Love the people and the chateau and like always Stephanie so generous and encouraging all. Thankyou so much . Tous tres tres sympatique , et tres interressant ,je vous admire enormement , merci.

[@juliebyrne4170]

I didn't really think about it while watching but they did do a great job. I felt like I was just walking along with them...Superb!

[@MK-77789]

Blessings! Stephanie! Gorgeous place! She has a great taste! Clean and peaceful decor!. Thanks for sharing this place!

[@mandylovell2645]

So lovely to see Tim and Rebecca again, love their Chateau

[@maylisandepoulin3235]

Why do I kind of really like the undone walls? 😅 It somehow looks really nice with the artwork that was hung 💕

[@julieeyre-tanner6074]

Rebecca and Tim are such a charming couple and I loved seeing the the unrenovated part of their chateau, you can imagine how beautiful it will eventually be 🥰

[@janeleslie4192]

Lovely 💕 I absolutely love the kitchen. I love it all . I would love to sew in your sewing room . Think I need a chandelier in mine. 🤔😉

[@angelatorlop4319]

I love Tim and Rebecca chateau and Rebecca's colour scheme is just so gorgeous. Its exactly the way I would do it myself. I myself am a quilter and I really identified with what Rebecca had to say about fabric. I own 3 full floor to ceiling cupboards full of beautiful fabric that I can not bare to cut up and always find myself buying new fabric for projects much to my husband dismay! But I do have to say, I was literally drooling over that gorgeous vintage linen french fabric.....

[@janeblandford852]

Thank you Stephanie for another amazing tour and owner interviews.....you are a natural!!

[@markmedley6849]

Wow! Rebecca is really good. I normally don’t like the interiors of old buildings because they are dark, heavy, and cluttered. Everything she picked looks fantastic. It’s light, clean, and just beautiful. Her talent is interior design.

[@kgummee]

Lovely couple and beautiful chateau!!

[@imaginetraveltours]

Followed her instagram for years! so great to see the entire property on video! love her decor and decorating

[@Sharon-Me]

I love your design esthetic Rebecca! I must say that it is most impressive how clean, organized and uncluttered every room is. Watching the chateau tour was actually calming for me. I hope to visit Chateau de la Ruche when I next visit France. P.S. I do think Tim is romantic and he should be very proud that he is!!!

[@katj-d6885]

This was really delightful 🥰 The tiny shop was so pretty 😊

[@KrisanthiaMum]

Thank you for allowing Stephanie to tour your Chateau with us. So much to do but it will be done in style. 👍 I would definitely keep one or two of those upper rooms as a storage/work room. If you have attic space… isn’t that normally used for storage 🤷‍♀️

[@teresaobrien663]

The textured plaster gives the walls a beautiful soft sueded look. It’s all very soothing @ marries so well with what you see through the Windows 💕

[@WoolRevival]

You’re great at this, Stephanie & Phillip! I love watching your diaries. I’m in Chicago and have renovated a historic brick bungalow. It’s about 1/10th of the size of your Chateau🤣 Ironically, we experience most of the same issues with renovations. It’s been great having the opportunity to keep history alive. Thank you for sharing. 💕

[@alisonsneed3707]

Stephanie, your style (the glitter pumps on your feet) remind me of the old Fred & Ginger quote “she did everything Astair did but backwards and in heels!” I know we do see you w/o makeup on occasion but mostly you really BRING IT.

[@williamdavis2386]

The kitchen is just wonderful,how I wish it was mine!!Maybe framed wallpaper on the big wall? Kind regards Georgina (Derbyshire England)Oh the joy you must feel in the attic sewing space,my idea of heaven!!! The shop bought tears to my eyes! I had a selling space once but to have one in your garden! Fabulous!!!

[@kathrynw9891]

I am inspired by the kitchen done on a budget and how the kitchen is not at all a boring fitted usual but has interest and history and creativity expressed in it. Well done!

[@linedallaire9631]

Can't wait.....just love the editing these days....good job Stephanie and Philip ❤🇨🇦❤

[@kerrym8495]

Such a gorgeous transformation.

[@jeanninef2110]

Such a lovely little chateau!! Thank you for bringing us along on this tour! My husband said that it looks like the home he stayed in, in Honfleur, just before leaving France to come to Canada when he was 12 years old!

[@Swede-m7q]

The before and after is stunning! Thank you for the tour. 🌺

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

What a great team these two are!

[@angelrays7]

Love the rustic unfinished places, Oh and the atelier was my favorite - lots of inspiration with those chandeliers. :-)

[@theadultpantry7219]

I really loved the Chandelier den! Putting that on my bucket list...

[@juliaclark4520]

Just lovely. The chateau and the people. It’s (almost) enough to make me get on Instagram to see rebecca’s posts 🙂

[@joshlynevillano2827]

Honestly that kitchen is a dream kitchen! I hope she is very proud and now sees it as a dream.

[@janetcorey5102]

I loved visiting the rooms that weren’t finished, especially the room with the chandeliers and those wonderful pieces of furniture!

[@yapproger]

I so love these diaries, I often watch already watched ones learning so much and getting ideas, Stephanie is a delight, such enthusiasm for everyone and everything, I love seeing her hair tied back here it suits her so well. What fabulous views from this house over the lawn and trees!

[@rosalindhambleton9012]

Bonjour, I have to say that this château is a dream ! the way it is decorated with the light palette, "so that the guest feel relax " I totally love this way of thinking. It is amazing to see the part that is not done yet, It makes us realize how much hard work there is to be done in order to bring the place to life and make it beautiful ! Finally, I guess it is true to say that owning a château is being the master piece of a never ending project !! Wonderful visit, thank you Stephanie for this great visit.

[@johncunningham1098]

It’s good to pause and remember that those who have accomplished so much didn’t just wave a magic wand and everything fell into place. Life takes hard work, money, energy and planning. Thanks for more than a design lesson. And Stephanie, you have all of these gifts in abundance. God bless.

[@mayfleur36]

Such a lovely and very cozy kitchen 🥰

[@cwatson1975]

I really enjoyed this vlog. I started out wishing it was about Lalande and ended up enthralled with everything that was shown. Through Stephanie I have learned so much about France and all things French. Thank you again for this enriching experience.

[@seaglass777]

the grounds are such a lush green.....so beautiful.....stunning chateau.....very creative owners

[@patdowney4984]

Love the tour of Tim and Rebecca chateau even the not renovated part is so lovely x

[@maryschlotter108]

A lovely, beautiful, magical place. The gift shop is like a fairy tale in the woods. Thank you for sharing all this beauty.

[@AnAlbertaGirlAtHeart]

Beautiful setting ! Lovely people also. I love your videos and your presentation of the places you visit, the people you meet . A genuinely multi-talented lady… It appears many chateau owners are

[@nomebear]

There love and appreciation for the estate is apparent in the details.

[@bridgetcooper6331]

Love that she has Fans in the rooms!

[@normamurray4450]

What a lovely tour! This just made my day! Thank you!

[@mariannebhatia7245]

The lady of the house is just amazing 👍🍀🇩🇪

[@jessica5657]

So lovely and charming! I love her sewing room! What an inspiring space for a creative spirit anywhere you look! I too am addicted to beautiful light fixtures, chandeliers, and character chairs. If you find the bedroom wardrobe too dark, it would look lovely painted in a very pale, light, French blue or mint or even grey or milky white.

[@andreawhite4359]

Rebecca and Tim, thank you so much for the lovely tour of your Chateau both the unfinished and finished rooms. It's truly something what impressive work you have done to bring this beautiful home back to life. I loved seeing the unfinished bits as I appreciated even more how hard you have worked to bring life to her. What talent and love you have brought to your home.

[@marilynnreiter7221]

Beautiful job of renovation! Great job Stephanie!

[@terrythomas2735]

That pink chair would have been perfect for your bedroom. It is a lovely place Thank you for taking us with you 😍

[@42apprentice]

Sailcloth/canvas on the walls would be great and you could paint patterns on it. Lovely house and great decorating flare

[@stacyeutzy1506]

Very talented as a renovation designer. Good luck and enjoy

[@AvaT42]

This was a lovely vlog. I so enjoyed the tour. Such a lovely chateau

[@sarahblue1914]

Absolutely Lovely!! I agree, sharing the unfinished bits makes us respect how much work it takes to restore these beautiful places. I especially love the kitchens that you all create, so nice and airy, roomy. I wish I could take bits from each Chateaux you visited and make my own. To me the kitchen is truly the heart of the home and should be very nice and Rebecca and Tim definitely aced this, despite the tight budget.

[@jamesjennell93]

Stephanie you make everything beautiful!!! Your passion and energy make you look at everything in a different light.l think the house is amazing but looking at it through your eyes makes you appreciate thing's that l normally would be like what a mess.l am a decorator and a very good one. I can appreciate anything and any style .But you take it to another level.lt is a great joy to go through these properties with you.

[@patricianathan4676]

What an enjoyable vlog, it is very calming there and I love the views of the lime trees. My mother when pregnant with me had an addiction to sitting under and enjoying the perfume from them. I too have to admit that I love fabrics but quite reluctant to use them, only for very special projects. Again such a lovely vlog, Stephanie many thanks. WCL

[@ScissorsAndSmiles]

Rebecca's kitchen is just stunning, especially the fact that it was done on a budget. You would never know. - I actually love the untreated walls in the private wing, peeling wallpaper and all. (My own drawing room in a historic building looks like that.) The shop is such a good idea, and looks really cute. Thanks for showing it to us and best of luck to Chateau de la Ruche.

[@kathrynschumann5254]

Absolutely stunning.

[@JayCamp4]

I just want to compliment Philip--he does a really wonderful job a letting his charming and amusing personality shine from behind the camera when it's the right moment, as well as disappearing so as a viewer I forget there is even someone there operating the camera. Being able to both of those things well is a real gift and has brought a lot of added value to all of Stephanie's vlogs, both because of the hilarity that sometimes ensues, as well as freeing Stephanie up to be in front of the camera so we get to see her shine too. Thank you Philip!

[@tabbycat4606]

Love the sewing room and the shop ❤️

[@gisellenorbury2369]

Just beautiful chateaux. Thank you

[@janineduclos9774]

This is one of my favourite chateaus in terms of decor xx

[@C-CEuroPopMusic]

I have just stumbled upon this series and wow i adore looking at the development of this amazing business home, in fact everything.

[@kerrinosborne747]

Omg that kitchen is incredibly beautiful with the cute window and door right by those trees ❤️

[@p-mchoo8806]

Your chateau is beautiful. I would be happy living in it, taking care of it too if i were you. Lucky you.
