I would have put double glazed wood windows in that match the originals. Every modern addition takes away from the character of the home. Wonder why this chateau isn't graded for protection?

[@brettthomas6020]

If we don’t protect the building financially it will like so many in France fall into disrepair

[@heliedecastanet1882]

Wood windows are probably too expensive for their budget - but I agree with you : the original material would have been better.

[@laurahosler1771]

Wood is a waste and requires too much upkeep and they would be right back where they are now in no time due to the weather etc…no one is going to mind they are not wood framed windows. They look gorgeous and serve a larger purpose.

[@heliedecastanet1882]

@@laurahosler1771 I was not saying the windows were not beautiful, nor that other choices than the original material was wrong (in any restoration, original material is just a better choice, but sometimes it is just too costly) 🙂 That is why I rather pointed that wood windows are extremely expensive (not only the purchase but also the maintenance), especially when there are so many windows to fix 😉

You have the Salamander stove to go with the fireplace in your locked room! WOW - it's gorgeous! You have to get it repaired, someone who works with cast iron (I presume?). Even if it's never lit again, it will look magnificent 😊❤ The cart is beautiful, as are all the other stoves, including the green art noveau one. Bit of detective work to find out where all the little stoves went, although I'm guessing the servants' quarters and cottages. The wallpaper is gorgeous, reminds me a little of a dark toned Monet.

[@maryjanekolesar8325]

[@amezcuaist]

You need a square trowel ,a bucket cleaner for the ceiling . It works for lath and plaster too .Flick the plaster on (like Splat )and hold the trowel for a second and then slide it sideways(or it will pull off again with suction). Plasterers motto is Get it on the wall first .Then muck about with it .
