Your home is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING... My GOODNESS just GORGEOUS!!! LOVE,LOVE, LOVE the Magnificent Bird plates! AND the mosaic in your kitchen!!! What a Fabulous tour... Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I can't think of anything more wonderful than spending the Christmas season in Tuscany and the Loire Valley. Your chateau could not be more beautiful. The Christmas decorations made your chateau the most gorgeous chateau in the Loire Valley. You both have superb taste. Thank you for transporting me to paradise on Earth!
I just wanted to say that those plate paintings of the birds were absolutely stunning! Also loved the family sung carols! Wishing the family a fantastic 2022!
I know I've mentioned it before but I love your style. So elegant and your attention to detail is exquisite. A pleasure to tune in. Also your sisters voice is wonderful. ❤
Holy Cow, I don’t know where to start. That was fabulous. Oh my goodness…your Chateau is stunning!! I love all of your decor. Those bird plates that you painted are absolutely beautiful. You are a talented artist. Thank you so much for sharing. I love all the Chateau vlogs. This was one of the best😍. Happy New Year🥰. Mary Jane Alexandria VA
Love the soft colors in your home. Your eyes flow effortlessly from room to room without having your eyes jarred by dramatic color changes .❤️ Everything ties together and you see the treasures in each room, instead of the paint!
Vivienne, I just LOVE the bird plates that you painted!! You are so gifted. I also love the way you seem to always be smiling! Your face lights up and that makes me smile too!!! Hope you had a lovely Christmas, and Have a wonderful New Year!!! Love from Wisconsin
Love your sister's voice, absolutely beautiful. Thank you for a beautiful ride of memories of your Chateau. God bless you all. Have a safe, healthy and Happy New Year.
Your sister has an angelic voice! Loved the "That's Amore" rendition. Beautiful. Also - where there is champagne, I am unsurprised that Michael Potts and Stephanie will be there! Fun vlog.
So beautiful in so many ways! Your dehydrated citrus and magnolia leaves turned out fabulous! Your painted bird plates are incredible, as well as the natural themed decorations! But your family's lovely singing made my heart swell at the remembrance of the reason for the season! That line, " God and sinners reconciled..." ! Without the coming of the Savior we would be so very lost! It's been a very very difficult year for so many of us, and without the comfort, strength and hope that we have in Jesus in a very personal way, I can't imagine how people do it! Well, thanks again! Till next time, Happy New Year! Mary, from WallaWalla, Washington USA
What an absolutely beautiful home you have. Your decorations are so tasteful. I come from a family who loves Christmas trees. This year my brother had 22 trees of various sizes in his home in Eastern Canada. Happy New Year. Please keep the Vlogs coming you are quite talented and they are extremely fun to watch
I lift my glass of chamsecco and propagne to the twelve days of Christmas! Absolutely lovely! Thank you for sharing! Happy Holidays to you and your family!
What a marvellous idea two sided tree very clever indeed. Now those plates you have designed are on another level wow gorgeous and so perfect I love them. 😍
What a delight to watch your last two shows (back-to-back)! A little beauty and light goes a long way in a world gone mad. Your bird plates are STUNNING.
Thank you so much, dear friend. It makes me so happy knowing you are watching. These videos started as a way to connect with friends and family (and friends who are like family), and it is a joy to know that this is still the case. 💖💖💖💖💖
What a talented woman you truly are! And a gorgeous one, to boot!! Love your show, and am in awe of your beautifully decorated Christmas Chateau. All my very wishes to you, Simon and Isabella!
Oh Vivienne, the bird dinner plates are fabulous! I'm sure Stephanie and Philip appreciated all the work that went into making them, they really are special... and I bet I'm not the only one who would love to see you working on the next ones.... A beautiful family and friends vlog, filled with Christmas goodies. I ran out of time over the holidays, so getting to watch some vlogs now, is like having a second Christmas! Hope you're having a great start to 2022. Denise, Sydney. 🦘
Since I do my tree on the 23rd, I let the decorations inspire for at least 12 days… thank you for sharing this well-rounded view of your holiday decorating, food, drink and family music! Best Wishes for 2022! Salut 🥂✨
Lovely story, so well created and smoothly edited! Didn't realize you live near Tours. Hope to visit the ancestral home of my DeLoach relatives there one day. Best wishes for a wonderful 2022!
Brilliant idea putting a tree on a table between two rooms and decorating each side differently. Your hand painted plates are superb. Lovely 🥰 video. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed the handmade decoration especially the golden magnolia leafs 🤩 beautiful, elegant, artistic ! Will start searching the perfect to be golden painted leaves in my area 💡 😁. They say someone’s house is a reflection of their state of mind, yours felt cozy and inspiring, thank you for that! I will definitely try the duck magrets filled turkey next year; what a great idea! Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family ♥️
That was a wonderful vlog Vivienne! Perhaps my most favorite yet🤩 I am beyond impressed with the plates you painted, they are exquisite! You are incredibly talented!!! Happy new year🔔🎶⛄🧚♀️🍹🦄🌞

What a wonderful vlog to wake up to on the first day of 2022! Absolutely enchanting to see your home and all the lovely Christmas decorations! It makes me want to get a couple of more trees!!!!!! Thank you so much and I must say that I really missed your vlogs over the last couple of months, but this one knocked it out of the park: I always learn something brand new when tuning in! Cheers to you, Simon and sweet Isabella in this new year!
What a Beautiful Christmas 🎄 and New Year gift to us, sharing thus oh, so lovely chateau decorations with the Christmas theme! Praise be to God! Would be Lovely if you have bigger nativity where the statues are from Tuscany, similar to Fontanini statues. It's very fitting indeed to have Nativity for The Holy Family and Jesus is the reason for the Season, and Never a " Holiday!" Happy New Year!!!, and Thank you for this lovely vlog.
Vivienne!!! You folks did an awesome job! One word of description ~~ EPIC ~~; Obviously your good taste and joy of each other shines radiantly through ! Am so thrilled to have found your blog...you two have that something "EXTRA" as one would say... good taste along with the upper crust up bringing makes you still relateable... Happy New Year from Vancouver Canada!!!
Love the gold magnolia and walnuts decorated tree. I also thought the Prosecco was the first glass. I actually prefer it. Table scape was lovely. Wow what a lot of trees.
Loved seeing all the beautiful Christmas decorations. I particularly loved the wonderful little Nutcrackers and ballerinas. Thank you for all the views of beautiful Cortona too. The French Christmas markets were delightful.
The Chateau looks amazing, a Christmas wonderland. The double-sided tree is just brilliant and I am definitely doing the grapefruit and magnolia leaves next year. But I have to say I am most mesmerized by your handpainted bird plates. Gorgeous!!! Your talents go on and on....
Lovely to see the chateau all done up for the holidays........I know you are both so creative and artistic, but I have to say the bird plates are absolutely stunning, obviously made with a lot of love......hope you had a wonderful Christmas and as it’s New Years Eve here in Toronto........all the best to you and yours for the New Year...............Donna In Toronto

I adore your home! Please give us a full tour! Also your hand-painted bird china is absolutely stunning! You should have a housewares line………also in your intro you have mentioned you had another chateau years ago, can you share your photos? I adore anything chateau, ( you have such lovely style and your bathroom redo truly inspired me// I also noticed the two architectural mirrors in your kitchen by the sink-cute idea!)
