Using VINTAGE fabrics to create the PERFECT CHATEAU BEDROOM!

Lalande is full of activity as we use vintage fabric to create the bed curtains in the attic bedroom, and Nick the Tree Surgeon brings his mobile saw mill to the woods, so that we can fell, mill and use our own timber on the property!

Nick is proving to be one of the best additions to the chateau ever. What a brilliant guy.

[@beiderbecke1927]

I would keep the needlepoint in the oval frame over the bed in the toile room. It would just feel too on-the-nose to have it be toile, and I'm always wary of over-theming a room. As the glorious Dorothy Draper said, "Mix it up," and "If it looks right, it is right." I'll drink to that, and I am (gin-and-tonic on a summer night in Michigan.). The milling of the logs was fascinating, and Amaury's enthusiasm is contagious. Glorious things happening at La Lande!

The black insect on the wisteria is a bee! It's a black carpenter bee. They're huge! They are solitary bees and like dead but not rotten woodfor making nests, and with all the trees coming down in the forest it's no wonder you're getting them around the chateau.

I must say, Nick really knows his stuff! You would be hard pressed to find someone else like him to handle this end of the business for the chateau. He has put me on to following the Notre Dame restoration myself. Can’t wait to see Amaury and Nati’s recyclables station! It’s just what is needed! Gosh, I can’t believe how far things have progressed in a years time!

I watched a brilliant documentary about Notre Dame. It had some footage of the day the awful fire started, the clearing, demolition of damaged parts, sourcing of timbers for restoration etc, etc. Well worth a watch, I think it was on the BBC.

For Notre Dame, their are rebuilding the forest that holds the roof. A milling building was doubled in size just to cut the large 2,000 trees needed. The trees are coming from all over France as they need trees hundreds of years old.😀😀😀

When you say “I love it in the courtyard. I really never never get bored of coming home to this!”.. I can imagine the joy Isabel will have seeing this beautiful transformation, not only in the courtyard but the woods and walled garden.. and with her new improved eyesight!! My grandmother was legally blind, deteriorating over the years and she wished for such joys as her garden was her passion. A garden up close with the smells, colours and textures is such a sensory joy, especially one like this with love put into it and with Isabel’s in mind too. 🥰💐

My father wrote/typed letters to his mother and brother during WWII (Pacific theater) on super, super wafer-thin wood sheets (you could see the grain of the wood). He said it was "paper" (as such) left behind by the retreating Japanese army. I have seen the two original letters at my cousin's - it is really amazing that they could be used in a typewriter.

Sooo glad to see Dan back! He always has great projects to work on, Dan style. AnnMarie is a treasure! I had heard about Notre Dame using green cut wood as in the days of old. I finally got my land and will be stripping bark from the bottom of timber this winter so it will dry out by spring, The sap stops running in mid winter so it is bone dry by spring if you remove a foot strip of bark from a foot above the base. I will be milling it and building my forever manor home in the spring. Then my formal gardens and a meadow with a natural spring swimming pond. I am beyond happy!!! I wanted a Chateau but I can no longer do steps but I did see a single level Chateau on KZbin. It gave me hope and a plan! LOL

[@stacykelly9962]

Nick has been a wonderful addition to the LeLand family. I wish I could find my own Nick for my family’s Century property. 250+ acres, 80% woods since farming stopped in 1948. Having someone you trust to make the best decisions for now and the future of our beloved woods would be huge improvement for our future generations. My ancestors built the original 1837 house from trees they felled and cut . They had a mill come in 90 years later to make magnificent beams for new barns and several homes on the property. You and Phillip are a great couple who work so well together doing projects. Looking forward to seeing Amory and Natty working on the future bin enclosure. So much love and friendship at the château! ❤️❤️

[@carolinegooder7091]

In NC all forests need a forestry plan, past by the forestry department of the state. My 32 acres needed a plan and the step family who have 300 plus acres needed a plan. Call your state department for a local business to help you. Good luck! 😀

[@angelaengler2387]

How wonderful to have a property that has been in your family for so long in America!!! I’m into researching my ancestry and have learned about ancestors who owned large tracts of land but my parents didn’t inherit anything unfortunately! My German ancestors who came to the Virginia colony in 1714 lived in tiny huts but my several times great grandfather managed to acquire over 100,000 acres before his death. I hope your family truly appreciate the history and hard work that your ancestors achieved 😀

Wow…Nick is brilliant! I am enthralled listening to the information he gives us about wood. What an amazing army of people you have compiled at LaLande Stephanie!

[@colleenwilliams1452]

As a patron watching the wood being milled, a thought cross my mind. With all the wild fires in France at the moment, you should set up a system for putting out fires. Maybe hoses attached around the chateau. Get proper fire hoses so you can protect the chateau. A visit from the fire department may be advantageous. It’s not a matter of IF it happens but WHEN it will happen. In each room in the house you need a fire cylinder to put out spot fires. With you lighting candles I think this is a must. You should have a plan made out where you all meet when the main fire alarm goes off. Emergency exits should be planned.

[@mariak9727]

🥰Thats a great idea!! (and very necessary) I vaguely remember they had an inspection a couple of years ago and added fire extinguishers all over inside the chateau.💕💕 (I don’t remember any talk about the forest though)

[@antonkostrik]

Dear Stephanie here is some info about the blue-black bee. The authors Liddell and Scott (A Greek-English Lexicon) say: The French entomologist Pierre André Latreille described the genus in 1802. He derived the name from the Ancient Greek xylokopos/ξυλοκὀπος "wood-cutter. So therefore, it's known as the "Carpenter bee". What a suitable coincidence, especially in this episode. Sending love from the Czech, Oldrich 👠

It’s always amazing to watch Nick and his magical machines, where it’s logs in, board out, logs in, board out, without missing a beat.

Good work, Nick.

I had to call my husband in to see Nick working his mill. What an amazing piece of machinery! (the mill not Nick although he is quite spectacular as well). I have never seen such a thing and am quite floored by it. I think the thing I love most about those who are drawn to La Lande is that every single one of them have a certain area of expertise and their knowledge is fantastic. If you just stick with a certain group of friends or neighbours you only learn from them what they know but if you have a continuous stream of new people coming and going then you learn from each of them. I also love the toile room and what you are doing with it. It is lovely.

Dear Stephanie, nevermind the toile bedroom. What do you call "full activity"? What we saw was Philip doing some work on the headbord and you playing with a picture frame. As other projects this bedroom was not finished as well. What's happening with Natti's apartment, the attic, lake, Grand salon! So many projects begun and left with no word when if at all will be finished! We can't see any progress being made on the Chateau at all this days. I've been watching for a long time and honestly the videos are making me frustarded this days instead of brining some joy as in previous days. BR Julia
