Transforming an Antique Mirror with Gold Leaf Gilding

[@angelamoreno5914]

As much as l love the olive green as a colour, the colour that you have right now is so beautiful and calming. Maybe for colour you can bring it in the room with furniture and art. Maybe olive green sofa with gold accents in lamps, gold leaf frames.

[@kristinrogersdotter5492]

I love that idea

[@davidhatfield5714]

Lots of art❤Bold furniture fabrics and draperies!!!

[@GayleRussell20]

​@@davidhatfield5714Some art...I love their minimalism. Too many chateau are too cluttered

[@robynelzink579]

Yes I like that idea

[@emilyramble726]

Agree!

[@annemurphy9339]

I love the wall color as it is, and think rich olive green in furnishings would be a great way to ground it, considering the height of the ceilings.

[@conniecasillas8300]

I love the current color. It makes the room bright!

[@christikapa3856]

The Olive green would make it a dark room!!

[@malamiispretty]

This paint looks so chic and nice, don’t change it please ❤

[@rebeccaknepp1397]

I LOVE the color the room is now. I wouldn’t change it.

[@quidditchmum]

I love the existing pant color in the salon.

[@mcoutant8964]

I think having one room have a subtle color is best, therefore I wouldn’t change it. It’s already beautiful and natural.

[@sierra565]

Philipp says some unhinged stuff sometimes, it catches me off guard and cracks me up!

[@emilys9365]

Right??! "I have some magic of my own..." 😂😂😂

[@elaineminto1828]

​@@emilys9365I actually gasped 😂😂

[@carrieschwenk5890]

"If you manipulate it, it gets hard". 😅

[@gnarbeljo8980]

Haha I know, he's very funny 😂

[@greenpaulineuk]

He’s hilarious!

You could bring in some deeper/darker colors with furniture, a rug, curtains, art… Olive green is quite trendy and tame in my opinion. The color you have now is very elegant and understated. It fits the brightness of the room.

But above all, follow your intuition! :)

[@penecurmode1688]

That beautiful room doesn't need a paint change. Use the olive in your furnishings, textiles, etc.

[@NancyAnderson-q3j]

I would leave it the same colour! It is beautiful and classy!

[@bramblyhedgegirl]

This room after your guest bathroom is my favorite so far. I love the current colour but definitely agree with some viewers who like the idea of adding olive green in your soft furnishings, throws, pillows and or artwork. Whatever you decide to do it will be amazing as always I'm sure!

[@poppyhh2695]

What a wonderful vlog episode!! With the gold leafing, it reveals such beautiful details in the previously white frame that couldn't be seen before. Bravo! Also, the lighting that Philip did turned out perfectly! As for the previous breakfast room's wall color, I find the current color perfection! It seems to capture the beautiful glowing quality of the outdoor light in Normandy and to bring that inside. I agree with the many comments that suggest using the olive green in your furnishings and/or art.

[@rheffner3]

Mirror looks fantastic. What a difference.

[@Sweetpeas12]

The colour you have now is beautiful and will go with so many furnishings

[@barbarapage3352]

Gilding the mirror improved the appearance of the room 100%!

[@MickiConn-eo5or]

The lights make the chateau almost magical,beautiful.

[@phildwyer1488]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the current colour of that room. So beautiful and elegant. But you have great taste Anna so I’d trust you with the olive green!

[@uscitizen898]

Well done Anna and Philip! Both your projects turned out fantastic! As to the wall paint color....I think the olive would be pretty but I also love it "as is". Can't wait to see what your plans are for such a pretty room! 🥰

[@JPayne-ul4qd]

Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻🧑🏻‍🏭 Phillip 🧰🪚on the exterior lighting. It gives the chateau a beautiful glow at night.

[@teepeeX]

Need a few on the gutter line of roof too to light up top

[@jben911]

I find a lot of the colours you’re choosing are very dark. I really love the colour as it is. It looks perfect to me.

[@teepeeX]

Because they like there choices 😊

[@terrym5204]

I vote to keep the present color. It’s beautiful and calming.

[@donnagriffis4871]

I love the color of the walls now, but I think that the olive green in velvet curtains would be a good contrast or anything olive green in the room, because olive green and gold goes very nicely together😊❤ you are extremely talented and we all love and admire you so much😊

[@virginiamitchell9899]

That beautiful eau de nil colour is really gorgeous. You have so many dark rooms it’s lovely to have this contrast. It reflects the light beautifully

[@MarySchlotter]

Anna initially I thought the new color would be a good choice but once you gilded the mirror I just loved how the existing color and the mirror complimented each other. The mirror is just beautiful. Perhaps incorporate the olive color in the room with fabrics , art and area rugs ? I’m sure what ever you decide it will be as lovely as the rest of your home. Philip you light up a room when you enter so no surprise you could light up the chateau….seriously it’s so nice. Loved the drone footage of the village twinkling in the distance.

[@avivat3010]

You're a colourist Anna. I believe that you will always choose the best colour for a room. I've never said, but I love that you added curves to the gravel portion of your landscaping. It looks so elegant. The mirror and outdoor lights are wonderful. Lights at night really accent the look of a beautiful building, like the chateau. The mirror is a wonderful start to the room.

[@JulieALamb-ih4jc]

I just love gold leaf, it adds so much elegance. Also good job on the lights Philip!!

[@madams3942]

Don’t repaint the room. It looks nice.

[@edelknecht]

The other building in the back shown at 13:19 looks like a cool project too.

[@AnnHoffman-k1n]

Please keep that color. Accent pieces will really bring the pop of color you are looking for.

[@andreaholman]

The olive color would be beautiful!

[@kenziekap7363]

I looove the existing paint color!

[@lcg5790]

I really love the idea of making the room cosier with a deeper tone and some of your creative fabrics in the windows.

[@dianesanford5609]

The color that is presently on the walls is so chic. It will be enhanced by any antique furniture or fixtures you may add.

[@cherylynvankirk4599]

The colour you have now in the salon is very ethereal and subtle which I like very much. It makes plants that you put on the mantle pop. I love this room with the white wainscoting and light green.

[@calgram]

Perfect teamwork: Anna's gilding and Phillip's lighting project. Both projects look beautiful!

[@jennifermansfield8382]

The colour you have now is fabulous

[@itsAna4]

I like the existing paint! Perfect for a primary salon

[@isabellegrise6324]

Anna, the color of the room is good, don’t change it.

[@katiem6773]

Stunning lights and mirror. So well done you two.

[@giseledomenech7696]

Anna , you are incredible!! Whatever you do, will look great!!

[@elainedreamies7380]

Yes olive would look lovely, even a dark green would work,. Big rooms with high ceilings can take most colours and look fabulous.

[@alisonfoster9695]

I think the olive green would look amazing, it will give the room some rich warmth and together with the gold a little drama too.

[@jeannekeeling256]

Why not keep it the color it is, very neutral with gold accents.

[@alisongrimes7027]

Yes. I think you need to use the olive-colored paint, especially now that you've gilded the mirror. The olive will make the gilding really stand out. The room will look gorgeous!!!

[@jennifercampbell7698]

I’d love the olive green. It would warm the room and look more dramatic. ❤️

[@wenDesigner]

Yes, olive for salon! Everything you touch, Anna, is elegant and well-done!❤

[@triplet3023]

Absolutely stunning! Beautiful gilding Anna and Phillip, your lighting skills are amazing. You both should be (and must be) so proud of what you have accomplished so far. All of that, with the most amazing sense of humour. You bring joy into our lives (your viewers). 😊❤

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

The lights are amazing making the chateau even more beautiful. Love the toned down gilding and it would look even more stunning with the olives green! 👏👏👏

[@elanorbarr2593]

The current colour is my favourite! Please don’t change it.

[@davidhorwood6741]

The current colour is beautiful, bright and calming. Add colour with furniture and artwork. ❤

[@normareed9007]

It's your home, Anna and Philip - you need to do what you feel is right for your family. Your decorating choices are excellent, so I'm very confident to leave it to you. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

[@lindabryant4292]

Beautiful drone shot at the end.

[@kathleendavis5727]

I love the color you have right now, but I think the olive green would be lovely also. As a green fan myself I went from a light beige/mocha color in my family room, to a rich oak moss green. I really love the change, but I did find out after the fact that I needed different furniture, accents and a lot more light to truly make the room what saw in my imagination. The room can be quite dark in winter, but with the right lighting it becomes warm and inviting. You have beautiful taste so Im sure whatever color you choose will be lovely. Love your channel!

[@corylouwho]

I love the current color of the breakfast room, I wouldn’t change a thing.

[@dollie3113]

A darker vibe in the room will make it so cozy and that olive green colour is majestic ✨

[@brucen4719]

The mirror looks beautiful Anna! Philip - great job on the lights - it makes the front of the chateau look awesome!

[@greenpaulineuk]

Love that you guys are always showing renovations gardening electrics building creativity etc sticking to the core of your title. Something for everyone of us viewers. Brilliant content always. The devil is in the DIY detail. 😍🥰🤓 Love it.

[@emilymanning2606]

I love the egance of the currant colour. Perhaps add colour with furniture. Also, it would be jar 18:51 ring to go from the fresh green hall to olive

[@irishdancer2753]

Phillip and Anna, your jobs are lovely! Mirror and the outdoor lights, terrific! As for the colour paint for the room, your existing colour looks fine, the mirror fixed that!

[@crivensro]

I love the colour of your salon and would not change it!

[@susangyorky2110]

That was a great lesson in how to do gold leaf! Thank you for showing us again how to do it. And the lights have transformed the look of the chateau at night!

[@dalentourmexico8530]

The olive would tie up with all the greenery outside...Whatever your decision may be it will look wonderful, maybe a little added gold touch on top of the mirror will make it even more special and "grandiose", great work you both!!!😊😊😊

[@AngelaBrown-ko8ll]

I agree, the existing colour is beautiful for a day salon. Perhaps down the track when it really needs repainting you could consider the new colour. There's an environmental saving in not repainting yet too. 🙂 LOVE your design choices!

[@kitkat2310]

Awe I just started rewatching the beginning videos the other day! It was fun to throwback to the beginning again.

[@janetnoble9143]

I love the color as it is. It’s so elegant and calming also will look good with pops of color.

[@Redbuzzcut]

The olive color will look as fantastic as what is on the walls now. The salon has lots of light which helps keep richer colored walls from making the room too dark. The white painted wood trim and windows also keeps it brighter. Can't wait to see what you do! 🙂

[@AnnSarasvati]

The mirror and the outside lights are beautiful. Both of you have your talents!

[@majorfrost8206]

The mirror looks fantastic, as does the new lighting, and I think the Olive would be a lovely colour for that bright room. Looking forward to seeing the transformation!

[@Skattie]

Oh wow. I painted my entrance passageway light bronze green, i never looked back, love it

[@trinaayton9661]

Love Sundays with you guys ❤❤❤❤❤

[@deirdrecerasa3932]

I love the olive green as well! Anna has incredible taste and talent. I cannot wait to see what she will do with the room. ❤

[@jenniestevens1244]

Olive green would look great with the gilded mirror, it would add a soft depth to the room, it's a large space. The colour you have now is also lovely

[@r.h.4567]

Anna, I like the brightness of the room it makes it look fresh. I think whatever the color is should be warmer in tone so it doesn't look drab when it is cloudy. I am sure whatever you choose will look nice. Gilding on the mirror looks great! Great job on the lighting Phillip!

[@JP-mv2dy]

I love the present color.

[@elizzadeath]

Whatever the color it needs to go with the BEAUTIFUL stone of the fireplace!

[@jeannekahle3344]

I love it the way it is.

[@dirklowenstein7306]

The wall colour is bautiful!! Windows need beautifull curtains!Mirror looks fine!

[@shelleymalone4427]

Beautiful. Whatever colour you choose will work.

[@katedutchie]

I love the existing colour with the windows. It looks so airy and open. Although, I have a soft spot for the green. It is my favourite colour!

[@gwenwade6059]

Your boots are exquisite Phillippe. You look as elegant in the leg as your pedigreed pet dog! You could both be brand ambassadors for them. You and Anna!❤❤❤😂

[@debrarobinson-x6s]

The colour in the room now is lovely though I think the olive green would look great, it’s a big enough space to cope with a bold colour

[@nyckolaus]

The wall colour is light and beautiful. With the mirror, the room is exquisite. And the outside lights, superb. Love the music.

[@cathrynmccay6820]

The lights and mirror are beautiful and I think the wall paint color will make that mirror really stand out. Bravo!

[@annemackenzie7295]

Well done on this week’s projects. The mirror is beautiful and the lights are so effective. Great video, thank you! ❤

[@dianne7316]

I'm definitely with you, Anna - the room does look beautiful now, no doubt about it. But even as you were discussing change, I was thinking olive/sage colourways. Go for it as it will become your room for whatever purpose your family chooses, rather than it being always in your head as the "breakfast room". ❤

[@AlanHough-p1w]

Lovely job Anna and again Phillip always gives us the comedy 😄

[@TheBTG88]

Keep the color as is.

[@svetlanastevanovic444]

I saw the boots. And I like them. And have similar looking pair, but for women - of course.

[@ingalillbelander1235]

Your home is absolutely gorgeous ❤

[@lizrach4159]

No to the green, which is your default colour. You have a tendency to choose colours with a colder, greyish tone. Having 1 room with a slightly, and it is only slightly, warmer tone is nice. Be careful not to make things too cold. You could offset your cooler palette with warm artworks but you don’t seem to be doing that either- maybe a work in progress? Or you don’t like the visual clutter or art? These large rooms need a fair bit of detail and warmth. Worth a thought.

[@tomholmes1350]

What a delightful sense of humor y’all have!

[@lindawiest3772]

Lovely work interior mirror and spots illuminating beautiful Chateau🌟

[@pamelairvin3164]

The chateau at night is lovely; a beacon of welcome and calm. Good job, Phillip! Anna...your eye for color and style will bring you to the correct choices in decor for your salon. Several comments suggest color in your upholstered pieces, art, and possibly rugs. So many options for you! To note, in America we have a product called Rub 'n Buff in metal colors. I have detailed assorted frames and hardware in our home to create antiqued surfaces. It's quite easy to use, but perhaps not as lovely as your gold-guilded mirror. Blessings!

[@odetteuys1111]

Love olive! The right shade of course xx

[@MadeleineBlumer]

Don’t paint the room!!! Keep it as it is! The colour goes really nicely with the fireplace marble! You can then always add colour and character with art, curtains, carpets, furniture, etc.

[@deirdrevaughan5078]

Yes perfect with the marble ❤ has Anna said what the colour is , it’s lovely 😊

[@MyFocusVaries]

Of course the current color looks beautiful--you chose it after all! And if you choose a new colour, that will also look fantastic.

[@bonniefrench9884]

Great job on the mirror and lighting ! Look forward to seeing the results of the color plans for that room !

[@friendlhi]

the mirror and lihts outside - both of you are so multi talented - hopefully transferred to next generation princesses 👍for a long-lasting 🏰 👑

[@123uschie]

Looks great ,the mirror and outdoor lights!❤

[@johannabaumgartner]

I like the current color, I think the olive green might be too muddy and too dark for this room. I like it as it is. And it would be more sustainable not too repaint it after such a short time.

[@arminiuss.316]

Great work on the mirror and lights

[@jenwhitelife2464]

Phillip, your Wellingtons are lovely! Anna thank you for the tutorial. jenwhite😊
