Turning the Chateau's 19th Century Stove into a 21st Century Kitchen Worktop! 👩‍🍳

[@kathrynschumann5254]

Aumury's work surface is sublimely gorgeous. It makes such a big difference in the kitchen!

[@predatornz.5493]

It looks like its always been there .

[@aleta5873]

I felt sad that Marie's back hurt before and she's grateful it didn't hurt after this meal.

[@worklifebalance9696]

@@aleta5873 That table as a cooking work surface was always too low for sustained work, standing. Great solution

[@mining4goldmeister420]

Beautiful, custom made work. 🪬👌

[@elizabethmiddleton5613]

He is an artist!

[@SemiFilmProductions]

The kitchen worktop was such a good idea, and Amaury did an amazing job as always.

[@joycearmstrong8628]

Even the grain on the dowels matched the counter. Craft at its best.

[@Cottonstatecountry]

I think Marie deserves a chef’s jacket for her presentation time! Her dishes look so professional and beautiful!

[@lisaakinlabi]

I totally agree with this!

[@ejt321]

She has one on order.

[@kathleenkostiuk-huguenin2197]

The meat dish looked well done and delicious.

[@brianutting6296]

I would let Marie decide if she prefers a heavy jacket to cook in. I doubt that she would. Let her find her own style, Marie is doing a fabulous job.

[@helenpalmer869]

What happened to the monogrammed apron?

[@MYJ61]

Amaury is a true artisan! Such beautiful craftsmanship for a work surface. I’d love to see a piece of furniture crafted by his hands.

[@ChristineKelly1000]

I love to see his hands!😊❤ I bet they are a work of art.

[@patriciah3779]

He is a perfectionist and a professional at his trade - really!

[@mireillelefevre6092]

In one of the very first videos, Stephanie visits her aunt &uncle in the UK. They bought a place that was protected under British Heritage and Amaury completely restaured it: it was sublime!!!

[@lmaier5171]

What a blessing to see the chapel work! So beautiful! Breath taking is right!

[@sylviawolff433]

The colors inside of the chapel are gorgeous!!

[@joanies6778]

The colors are so brilliant and the chapel looks stunning!

[@hedgewood7152]

Thé addition of metal to the worktop was genius! Bravo Amaury! ✨🌞✨

[@roxanneme5079]

I normally don't comment but Amaury - that multi-level counter with the black iron trim is just spectacular! Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could now build you a bespoke book shelf that will fit under the window and house your cookbooks... just say'n

[@marshawargo7238]

Perhaps there's a surprise coming in that closed off grand salon😮??? Hope So❤!!!

[@beckyecklund5773]

And a seat for 🐕

[@DianaBelchase]

Perfect idea! Bookshelf window seat!

[@kindlydude]

Yes! ...and a nice bespoke Spode-pattern blue & white cushion on top for the Bookshelf/Window seat ...for humans as well as Lancelot!

[@debbierudolph9489]

Maybe he can build a spice shelf on the wall above the worktop.

[@AP-kb3tn]

The dress from Vivienne looks like it was custom made just for you Stephanie! Gorgeous! The Chapel looks amazing!

[@bhavens9149]

Chapel is looking more like chapel and less like a sketchy building. Bravo!

[@LMB-vj4we]

Amaury you are a true testament to the meaning of your name "work power, relentless, and brave." The worktop is stunning. You are so very talented. I have enjoyed seeing all the projects you have completed at the chateau.

[@randyrice1429]

The countertop and the chapel - both amazing! Lovely new dress from Vivienne. Love all you beautiful people!

[@MAC-op5fc]

Amaury - what more can we say. His work is flawless but also has such an incredible creative eye. That top looks like it was always there. Amazed again.

[@cwatson3495]

It is so hard to work on a low surface, Marie’s poor back. That is why Stephanie’s Aunt and Uncle always sit while doing prep work. Great job Amaury ! A nice long working area is like gold in the kitchen.

[@gaylehill6165]

The chapel is breathtakingly beautiful! And of course the kitchen work surface is both functional and gorgeous! Well done all!

[@ritazita1111]

Seeing the ancient chapel being restored brings tears to my eyes....I'm so in love with this glorious, spiritual space. I am a painter myself, so you can imagine what seeing this is doing to me.

[@kindlydude]

⛪🎨🙏💖

[@lynnesheldon7525]

Maria needs a chef’s coat when describing her fabulous meals to the guests! We love your Vlogs❤️

[@RestorationDream]

Definitely and to tie up the hair neatly.

[@oksanaklein4867]

Amaury has hands of gold, he can do anything, really anything. Those beautiful finishes he does just amazing.

[@ntakovacj3644]

The way both Philip and Stephanie said a MAYzing! Because it IS amazing. Now that it's there everyone must realise it should have been the very first renovation done, right? Cooking for a crowd -- a daily thing -- and bending over a low table? Oh lordy lordy. Congratulations Amaury and AMEN!

[@memecats5698]

The new counter is absolutely beautiful and the chapel, every time I see it it’s just more amazing on what they are able to accomplish in the restoration. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️

[@snoopybluejeans]

Agreed. I'm godsmacked by it's sheer beauty.

[@kimberlyearly8918]

I can't imagine painting every single little star and tiny design on all of the walls with perfection.

[@MsSherryjh]

Wow. The vaults are astounding!

[@marshawargo7238]

I didn't imagine that they'd look this good & not even finished ❤!!!

[@crae3422]

I"m not sure which I love more - the new kitchen work surface or the changes in the chapel. They are each life changing so going to go with both. Delighted for Marie. That work surface will save her back from agony. The kitchen is now looking more professional, as it should. The chapel ceiling is extraordinary. When the chapel is completed it is going to be a true jewel box of a building worthy of celebrating. Oh, and the orange dress! Understand why Vivian could not let it go to a charity shop. Love Roxy Music too.

[@kasisatya5448]

The chapel is spectacular! The colors harmonious and magnificent. Marie has just taken the reins and is blooming into a fantastic artisan, both chef and florist.

[@suepopoff3159]

The new stove top is a master of carpentry🇨🇦

[@jiminhart]

The 'Roxy Music dress' is stunning on Stephanie. And that worktop might be Amaury's masterpiece of all the things he's done at Lalande so far. As for the chapel, it's looking glorious.

[@reladie]

The Chapel is looking spectacular just stunning. Thanks to all of the supporters of this restoration, you are amazing.

[@loveykukahiko4815]

Amaury went above and beyond. Looks like it was always there.

[@jennifercallaway6824]

I truly feel like not a big enough deal was made of Amory’s work top! 🎉🎉🎉 It is absolute perfection! It looks like it should have always been there. The craftsmanship is second to none! I know Marie is going to give it a proper workout. Well done Amory…as usual, you knocked it out of the park!

[@TheSchkings]

Phillip got a great bargain with all of those books! And I love how sweet you two are to each other! The worktop is a work of art, and OH SO needed -- I think it's going to be a real game-changer for meal prep.

[@corinnapetry65]

The chapel looks amazing. Doing things right makes all the difference in the world.

[@bluedeep8041]

Aumury, you’re unrivalled. That worktop is sublime. Nati, take care of your man, he’s one of a kind.

[@dianneeverett1633]

The new kitchen work surface looks wonderful and comfortable. Nothing worse than an achy back. Amaury did a great job.

[@DianaSwi]

The chapel restoration is so unbelievable…bravo to all!!!

[@RockDove5212]

Looks so much better without the long chair in the way. Looks gorgeous

[@carenvisser607]

Molly looks sad. Not even a tail wag. The chapel looks amazing. All those books.... Stunning. That heart hanger is stunning. ❤

[@snoopybluejeans]

I think she's is fine. She has Lancelot to hang with and I'm sure Molly and Amaury hang out with her as well. They are all on the same level and I can see her eyeing Amaury in his workshop.

[@LaReynedEpee]

I've been wondering if she's been depressed since Phoebe died. But she's an old girl too as far as I know.

[@kimberlyearly8918]

She sticks by Amaury wherever he goes. She's such a sweet dog.

[@mika72.-Bois]

Perhaps Molly needs a new doggie friend closer to her size than Lancelot. She may still miss her canine friend who died.

[@annaibarra3447]

Amauri! My goodness! He just doesn’t do a merely simple job simple! He puts all the bells and whistles in it! Just beautiful job! Amazingly beautiful! For also a great must need! ❤

[@lukehartman9386]

I feel so blessed that I was able to adopt a star in memory of my mom, Marci. The chapel is looking beautiful! Keri💜

[@kindlydude]

Yes for my pianist-Mom as well who always cheered me up with her happy ditties as well as beautiful classical pieces & from both folk music & the "American Songbook" of the great crooners & swooners ...miss her so much!! I was so proud to get her a commemorative star under the protective eye & Patron Saint of Music ...Saint Cecelia!!! ✨⭐✨✝🎼🎵🎶

[@MissQuite]

The chapel 💒 is looking so beautiful. Very proud to have a tiny star ⭐️ in my parents name ❤

[@rolo4945]

The worktop in kitchen looks amazing. The chapel is beautiful

[@Burbankelly]

Yesss! The kitchen is looking clean and mean! Amury’s work is outstanding! The chapel is stunning! Stephanie, you probably won’t see this but you should get your color analysis I done! I did and it has revolutionized my shopping, my closet, and my face! I had mine done online by The Colour Analysis Studio by the two Italian ladies currently living in Australia - they are the absolute best! At the time, I lived in a massive city (Dallas, Texas) and the city is flooded with analysis studios whom I could have visited in person but I found The Colour Analysis Studio to be the very best - they never miss! They will discover if you are a warm or a cool season and then what spectrum of that season you fall on. The first thing I did was purge my closet of all the clothes that were not of my season. Then I started buying clothes that are only in my season and guess what - every single item in my closet now, not only makes my face shine, but goes with everything. You can mix and match everything. It especially makes matching separates a breeze! In other words, every single color in your season matches each other but the colors are endless! Also, I find I need fewer clothes because I’m not trying to match a pair of pants, shorts, skirt with some random shirt that is not in my season. Anyway, I hope you see this because I love fashion too and it would CHANGE YOUR LIFE! Also, you spend less money because you don’t buy stuff that you think you like but then take right back off because something just seems off - now you will know why! Also, it would be cool if you had yours done by them on your show as they truly are worth every penny! They are extremely educational!

[@janefreda7034]

The dress looks beautiful on you Stephanie! Fits perfectly.

[@willsmm]

Such a memorable weekend, thanks again to all at Chateau La Lande for your warm and welcoming hospitality. We had such a wonderful time...

[@deebowker768]

Wow! Amaury’s worktop is made to look as if it’s always been there. The addition of metal completely altered how it looks, so it fits in so perfectly. He is incredibly talented. The Chapel painting is quite magnificent and I just can’t believe how astonishingly beautiful the chapel will look when finished. It really is the most beautiful building. ❤

[@louisedouglas8089]

Just to say in amongst the beautiful countertop and chapel, Stephanie’s wee orange cardigan is beautiful. She suits that colour orange 🧡

[@brittaw660]

I could tell that you were already having or developing a cold, Stephanie! I really hope you’re feeling a bit better by now. - The worktop is incredible! Amaury really is a wood genius. And the new terrine is very lovely, Philipp.

[@DanSmith-v4l]

The Chapel is going to be beautiful. You and Phillip also looked beautiful.

[@christinedavis5813]

Yes a Nice Looking Couple

[@sherrithompson5418]

The In-N-Out T-shirt worn by one of the guests cracked me up. If you know, you know 🤣

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

I'm astounded at how quickly they're moving through the chapel restoration, and it looks so beautiful! Amaury's work in the kitchen was exquisite, as always. And the "Roxy Music" dress definitely suits you!

[@audriscarborough9309]

I have been overly chatty lately, and I realize now that is because the two of you, Anmuary and Natti, Mummy and Percy , Chantelle and your adorable uncle ( I can't think of his name 😢) my husband and I call him Anmuary's suave father. You all make my soul happy. And I can't see something wonderful and not comment about it. I feel people are so prone to complain! My life philosophy is to say/ acknowledge the good thing about people and life. I genuinely turn on your vlogs if I am having a lonely day. Hearing laughter and knowing all the love and kindness, silliness and joy, as well as very hard work genuinely helps me through my day. With a huge amount a love, Audri

[@kindlydude]

...I also feel much appreciation for this group of very loving, kind, capable, and lovely people ...especially the very winsome and smart and beautiful Stephanie & her 'cavalier' & wonderful & dashing Phillip. In fact, I think of Stephanie & Phillip ...and Nattie & Amaury as the very dashing Four Musketeers!!! 👸🤴👰‍♀💂‍♂

[@susannahwhitaker994]

The work on the chapel makes me lost for words. Isn’t it heartwarming to know there are still creative and amazing people capable of doing this work. The chateau gets better and better everyday 🤗

[@LULC0759]

Such amazing changes at LaLande in several years. Amaury’s talent & Phillip’s amazing eye for detail….he a gem. Marie has many gift’s as well. Looks beautiful.

[@blakehahn-atlantaga8510]

Amaury’s worktop is Amazing!!! He is truly talented!

[@maryannaarnold3817]

Amaury, the wooden worktop looks first class! Philip, the "new" Herend Rothschild Bird china with lid is beautiful! Stephanie, Vivienne's dress is perfect on you!

[@roseb7525]

Stephanie looks great in that Roxy dress. Vivian is such a generous spirit. As always, Marie's dinner is so delectable and well-presented. Love what Amaury did to the stove, he made it look like it's always been a part of it.

[@andreadern4463]

🍃🍓🍏🍋 Love Marie’s apron❗️Amoury’s cooktop..beyond❗️🍃

[@imscanon]

WOW! The chapel is looking so vibrant and beautiful. What a difference the windows and ceiling have made! Just wow. You are definitely getting your money's worth! What amazing artisans these restorers are. And Amaury's worktop is fabulous too. What a great way to utilize that formerly wasted space.

[@sashas3332]

Aumury is worth his weight in gold, times a billion. Y’all need to treat that Man like a King❤

[@newday5]

The chapel is amazing so beautiful

[@sheilaghk6350]

The chapel is "Wow" And Amaurys worktop is perfection.

[@goddessqueen6610]

As a Californian I visited all the missions in my state. I was just as amazed by the mission’s art work as I am amazed by your chapel’s art work.

[@janetroberts2262]

I’ve always thought “how on earth do people prepare meals on that table, I’d be in agony” and now I see that it was causing people to have back pain. Love the new work surface though, Amaury did an amazing job. ❤

[@debbierudolph9489]

I have also thought the same. They should remove the table and put a big island in the middle as a works surface and storage. The spode cupboard could go in the dining room. The kitchen would be much more functional for the chefs. They could put bar stools on the one side for people to have a quick snack in the kitchen.

[@sheriholloway6135]

I live in Southern California, never thought I'd see an In & Out Burger T-shirt at the La Lande dinner table. That is SoCal formal wear.

[@snoopybluejeans]

I was rather disappointed in that attire. Why would anyone wear a sloppy, logoed, t shirt to such a splendid dinner. Looks like the wife got dressed for dinner, why not him? These are the traditions I miss. Anyway, they should mention a smart, casual dress code for dinner and no t-shirts, flip flops allowed.

[@dianegriffith3006]

Think he may have been a son of one of the guests.

[@yvesgonin1958]

What a delicious dinner from Marie. Amaury did a fantastic job, no wonder Marie founds it georgous. It is beautiful and so much usefull. XXX Yves

[@146agi122]

The Rothchild design soup tourine by the world famous HEREND ceramic factory of Hungary, is also one of my family's heirlooms. My grandmother (I am 78 yrs. young) was a lifelong collector of that design, and I was fortunate to get the (@12) dinner and dessert plate to my home in Toronto Canada. The Victoria design was given to Queen Victoria on her 60th birthday.

[@martinethevenau69]

Wow. Stephanie the dress from Vivienne was made for you. Simply stunning. The terrine with the bird on top is beautiful and I can see why Phillip loves it. Amaury has changed Marie's work space and her health. It looks amazing. ❤🐦

Amaury's work is on par with the chapel restorers. Both the chapel and the worktop are stunning. Amaury work is always a 10+.

[@heatherc1783]

Lovely vlog as always. It also took me back in time when I saw the author of the new book for Phillip! I remember years ago listening to Margaret Visser interviewed often on our CBC morning radio here in Canada. She has a vast knowledge of rituals, customs to do with dining and other things as well as how & where they originated. I also enjoyed listening to her lovely South African accent.
