Those sellers from the auction should be ashamed of themselves, for misleading you on the dresser. You are reclaiming your chateau, one project at a time.👏
Those guys are a treasure. What they work on they do so a good job. They are so faithful. You have to thank God for getting them. For this time we are I am so happy you are so lucky to have them.
Love the background conversation at the secondhand furniture place. "How much is the dog?". "He's priceless and not for sale." Followed by, "that said, he'll follow whoever feeds him, so..."! 😊
August 12, 2022 - - the anniversary of Chateau de Borie becoming yours Abbey! Almost two years later your sign is up and the Chateau is shining bright. You are a strong steward for preserving this beautiful home, and keeping it's spirit alive!
Never realized how huge that tree is. How magnificent!! Gold fish needs a friend. You’re doing such an incredible job on this place. Congrats for getting the 4 yr visa too. Love watching this unfold!! ❤
Abby, the cleaned-off cliff face is absolutely gorgeous! Don't regret the vines; they'll be growing back with a vengeance in no time :) The little cave/cottage is so adorable. I do think it all looks SO much better!
Congratulations that you can now stay for 4 years!! I can't get over how the mountain of rock has been cleared., it looks amazing and will be so much safer! The Mayor and township should be happy now. I don't think it is right that you have to carry the brunt of this rock wall. ☹
Hi Abbie, is it only 2 years??? I’ve been here from the start but it seems many more years than that! Your sign is Perfect. I can’t even Watch the climbers ! Makes my stomach hurt🫢. Those blue chairs were beautiful, great color. You have so much more land than I thought! Seeing it from above, beautiful view but scary walking. Tomas is really a godsend. He can do so much and I would trust his advice. Amazing how much you have accomplished in 2 years. You are my Hero! ❤❤❤
Tomas is the renaissance man for sure! It was a lucky day when you met him. I love when he changes from jack of all trades, to ' Chevalier Tomas' at your events. Truly a knight of the realm. I bet there are a lot of ladies out there who have a big crush on him. I selfishly hope he stays with the channel, I just love his smile and his work/play aspect..
Wow, you have had a very full week! Lovely to see progress in any form. It’s great dead branches cleaned out of the tree and have the side of the hill cleaned all that brush off. It looks really nice and opens up to yard. It’s lovely to see how quaint and homey feeling to the yard. Your sign looks beautiful at the front of your gate having progress in the house with the wallpaper being stripped off, and the walls being skimmed, thank you for taking us to the Antique market. Lovely to see that your goldfish survived and is thriving. Even progress in your bathroom.❤ Thank you so much for sharing Abby. Have a great week. Congratulations on your license.🎉
I suggest using “Howard’s restore a finish” on your dresser. I have used it on antique dressers and wardrobes like yours. Easy, not a stripper. Thins out existing finish and covers water spots and even some scratches with existing finish. Can really make it look fresher.
I wait til Sunday every week to see the chateau progress. I truly can’t believe how much you have done since day one! It is so impressive. I feel like a snail after I watch you. However I did build a studio in my basement since I saw how if you dream it , it can be done. Thank you for your great videos.
The exact words I was thinking when you were stripping wall paper. “So satisfying”. You are doing such a great job tackling all the prs. Wish I could help. My two favorite things. Pulling weeds and stripping wall paper!
Poor little Chloe exhausted after stripping all that wallpaper off ❤😊 You have a good taste in colours for the bedrooms, but you’re an artist. I’m fascinated as to what you are going to finish the cottage floor with. I love your Chateau sign.
Up top of the cliff where the privat was cut you can take dead waste limbs n branches and weave them horizontally within the privat to create a dead hedge fence 😊
Your chateaux and surroundings are so picturesque ! And you have accomplished so much ! Congrats on the 4 yr visa, whew ! I love your videos and the progress you're maling ! Well done !
Hi Abbey, I always wait for your Sunday videos! I would like to say the sign is a good height. The name divides the pillsr into roughly 1/3 below and 2/3 above. Always fall back to the golden rule when in doubt. You're amazing! 😊
I'm always amazed at what a little spit and polish can do for these older pieces without a full refinish. Regarding the screws going through the drawers, you could melt some wax and place it over the ends and let it harden. It would keep the points from catching your clothing.
Bought a dresser missing marble top from Goodwill. When cleaned up it looked so good we decided our original plan would not do justice. A marble offcut from a local company, beautiful veining, very happy with result, $250 U.S.. That sink wow. Totally envious.
Love seeing the guys clearing the cliff of ivy, etc. The bathroom vanity will look amazing lovely sink too. I can’t believe someone used those screws for the drawer. I’m afraid I’ve been bitten like that I just assumed things will be ok, but others just don’t care
I have to be honest, old furniture and fabric creeps me out unless it is a table or chairs with no upholstery. That cliff wall cleared looks gorgeous! I have never seen a sink like the one in your bathroom. I would paint the room with the mustard bed a dark green with strong yellow undertones-the room has plenty of light. Congrats on your 4 year Visa! ❤️❤️
I’m sorry but that is one of the better license pictures I have ever seen! You look beautiful! Wow those guys are going great work! I wanted to know will someone be putting netting or something around the cliff area to contain falling debris? Take care ! ❤
Abby, lol, I thought the same thing when he was up in the tree. I’d end up slicing through the rope and plummet to my death! I give those guys so much credit for doing such a dangerous job. Your bathroom sink looks great. The bathroom is nearly finished, yay! The wall and the building in the cave look so different but now you can keep control over any undermining that might present itself. I love the sound of the water fountain. I think you need some more goldfish so they keep the mosquito population down. Good job on removing the wallpaper. ❤
Oh my goodness,. I used to live in Belgium and Germany in the late 90’s and early 2000’s! So wish I could be there to help you brocante and decorate your chateaux! I used to be really good at it! I love your Sunday videos so much! Thank you so much for sharing!💕
A big Congratulations on your Visa for 4 years now that's a fet on it's own to get that u doing something 100% right , Visa's are never just a walk in the park 👏💓 . Funny how Mr Goldfish has been hiding away in that pool all that time . I've brought Antiques from Auctions before like live Auctions and been court out , but that Chest of Drawers look pretty ok on video shame someone drilled the screws all the way through tho u have to take them all off and put them back on , filling all the holes up of where the old screw holes were just another job . I think I saw the other one u liked in a video u posted it was stunning . Great cliff cleanup love the little house with the windows at the top very cute . Great video . ❤😊
Wow. So much going on. The cliff looks so much better cleared, and you also have an amazing view from the top of it now. Also so glad to see that black spotted wallpaper down!!
Pink is complimentary against mustard yellow in a room or floral arrangement. Best is to bring paint chip samples of pale pinks and blush into the room lighting to view them from behind the headboard for the right shade.
Beautiful bathroom sink! You have gathered an impressive team to work on the "Chateau." The green sign would look great and be easier to see in the dark if you backlit it with a strip of LEDs. I know that would be one more thing. To learn more French each tool's spot in the cave can be labeled in English and French. Tomas is gold!
I can never understand this generations facination with 'online buying' .... why in the world would I want to order something I can't try on....touch.....see up close. Nope, shopping in itself is an art and a pleasure, and I am just mystified with 'online' hucksters. Old school is my way.
Too bad about the dresser. In the meantime, shop for a nicer one. You deserve it. Put the one in poor condition in a guest room. You’re getting things done. Yeah! Take care. Be safe. ❤️
Abby, congratulations on the 4 year license!! 🎉Your bathroom is coming right along! The cliff project is fascinating! All the work you do motivates me at my condo!!😅 Can I please but the little cave house with the newly revealed roof? 😅. (Only kidding!)
