What a fun episode and beautiful lake. Love your ability to laugh at yourself Camilla. So glad you had such a great teacher. Her shop is to die for.

@irenemulcahy2495 Год назад

Wow what a wonderful workshop and venue. Celine is not just a pretty face but a very talented lady. Annecy is such a beautiful place. My daughter in law took me there some years back and your vlog today brought back many happy memories. The chair looks very professionally finished. One can appreciate the costs of reupholstering when seeing the work that goes into it and we need to encourage our young people to appreciate and continue to carry on these arts.🤗

@lorrainethomas241 Год назад

Camilla, it's so lovely to witness how your presence before the camera has evolved since you and Ollie started this channel. You're more and more relaxed and it's just so fun! Love that you did this workshop.

@TheBluebellMoon2 Год назад

Maybe Camilla could treat herself to a little French cottage as a weekender. Imagine the fabrics & cushions. 🫶 x

@hatshepsut8329 Год назад

What an incredible experience you had, Camilla! I think fate was on your side here. The color of the chair is perfect and as you say, by finishing it at home you have a reason to continue to practice what you learned and will hopefully be inspired to carry on with other projects! Someday when the girls are giving tours of your home they will certainly be proud to point out all of the lovely restorations you lovingly worked on! You couldn’t have found a better teacher!

@isobelchapman9548 Год назад

What an absolutely fantastic vlog…..thank you so much Camilla and boy your skills are just adding up. Well done you.

@maryexall Год назад

Congratulations Camilla on a job very well done 👌 The Marie Antoinette Barbie chair is about to become a total triumph upon completion ...Bravo 👏👏👏👏 XX 💕

@allysonsears Год назад

I love your “Barbie Marie” chair! Great job! It’s magnificent.

@thewilliamseswonderfulworld Год назад

Thank you for showing us the chair upholstery process. So fascinating.

@ritasengupta9611 Год назад

What a delight to be learning a new skill in such an idyllic setting and with a charming teacher. I have said this before. You are so capable and take everything in your stride no matter how difficult the challenge.

@MamaVee50 Год назад

Great skill to acquire! 🌺

@Ana-Maria-Sierra Год назад

I think it’s fabulous that you’ve taken this course. I wondered, however, why go to France? But I see that your teacher is an upholstery artist and exceptional in her profession. Celine is delightful as well. I look forward to your future efforts.

@TheBluebellMoon2 Год назад

Oh Camilla you have found your ‘tribe’ & ‘vibe’. How wonderful to spend time learning a new skill with @the_girl_with_a_hammer at her workshop. Really enjoyed your trip to the lake. More! More! More! 👏👏👏👏❤️

@MsLinda165 Год назад

Kudos! How nice to be in an idyllic setting, surrounded by knowledgeable and friendly experts. The chair looks amazing. I found watching the whole process entirely engaging.

@jaxstorey6734 Год назад

Wow, your chair is looking beautiful, Camilla. I love how you just went with the fact that they sent you the beautiful pink fabric...and look how fortuitous that was! I did a week-end upholstery workshop quite a few years ago. I had a gorgeous old ottoman with really old fabric that definitely needed replacing. My neighbour and I both did this workshop, and unfortunately she accidentally overdid the vodka jellies at a quiz night for a fundraiser at a bar, for her children's school, so she felt unsafe driving to day 2 of the course. So she asked if she could come in my car. 🚗 Well, the poor thing was battling throwing up 🤢 most of the day and looked so pale. Mid afternoon, she realised she needed a few more materials to complete her chair, so I drove her to the shop to get them. And that meant I didn't get to quite finish my ottoman....and to this day, it remains unfinished! 😏 Not that you can tell looking at it, but, of course, I know what needs to be done to complete it. So perhaps I ought to get on with it! Love Jacqueline from New Zealand

@angelavan478 Год назад

I've been wanting to take a class like this! Envious!:-)

@rosemariedeschenes7013 Год назад

I would spend a fortune with those beautiful fabrics. Thanks for sharing this wonderful craft. Celine is as talented as she is beautiful 😍😘

@claudiamann7111 Год назад

What a beautiful place to take an upholstery class. Your chair is gorgeous and I love the pink. You also had a fabulous teacher. Thanks so much for sharing.

@thegirlwithahammer Год назад

So true ❤️

@Motherhubbard170 Год назад

Celine is everything we imagine a gorgeous French woman to be, Kudos to her for keeping this tradition alive, we are losing every skill which made us human, creating and working with our own two hands, curses on Alexa and Siri.

@thegirlwithahammer Год назад

Amen! 😆❤️ (Céline)

@cbphillips2635 Год назад

Was really enjoying your August 16, 2023 video. Suddenly, after a few minutes of viewing, the video stopped and a notification was provided that the video is "private". Wow. Just wow.

@MagicalModernistMansion Год назад

Oh my goodness I am so sorry it went a bit wrong. We are trying to sort it out and will put it up again as soon as we can. Sincere apologies as that must have been really annoying.

@IRSA1 Год назад

You have learnt such a useful skill and the end result is just delightful . I spent many a holiday in Annecy as a child and it is definitely the loveliest place !

@veronicamoss2597 Год назад

Thank you...I have a couple of chairs that have been waiting for me to reupholster......you have Inspired me...

@srigging Год назад

How fabulous Camilla! The upholstered chair will be perfectly placed within your Marvelous Mansion...I can't wait to see it. What an amazing shop with outstanding talent to learn from. Lucky you 🥰👏👏

@MK-Farm-Michigan Год назад

Great job Ryan. Great clean up and trips to the tip. Now that those walls have been stripped of wall paper. Suggestion if your going to just paint walls. Go to hardware store get a product called TSP. Put in your spray bottle and wash the walls and glue off. Then prime walls. Then paint walls. Now wear goggles when cleaning with TSP. Take it f4om me who got it in her eye. Do ceilings as well.

@TheAngela2468 Год назад

I love how you remaid your chair I can knitt sew crochet and i though i had patience but i dont think i could do that😊😊😊

@juliatownsend2324 Год назад

Well done. Its a great skill to have. There will be no stopping you now. Chair is looking good. Xx

@rhondathomas7952 Год назад

I loved that statement too!! I am far from a minimalist!!!

@LitHouseTieDye Год назад

Many years ago I worked briefly in an Antique upholstery restoration shop. I know first hand the skills you learned in one short week will serve you well as you continue to tackle challenging projects. What a fun time. Thanks for bringing us along.

@Randy8923 Год назад

Great job Camilla. Celine has a wonderful shop and is a fun teacher. You did a lovely job on your chair. Your filming locations are so beautiful. Blessings.

@wendyrose8430 Год назад

Well done Camilla it will be lovely in your room with the pinky flowers. Nothing wrong in putting a bit of Barbie vibe in ones life. Always wanted to visit Annecy. 😘

@joygilbraith4729 Год назад

BRAVO CAMILLA 😊 I LOVE THE CHAIR. I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO. TY🌸

@icuinthelight Год назад

WoW, great job! It was actually kinda scary looking at the beginning, but what a beauty it was looking at the end! Can wait to see it finished!

@kathyevans2968 Год назад

This was a great experience to share and the scenery of this beautiful French town was spectacular. I love doing upholstery, so this would be a dream course for me to do! Your Barbie chair was amazing!

@rayn8740 Год назад

Camilla, what a beautiful chair. Well done.🏆

@beverlyjeursen6311 6 месяцев назад

I love the fact that each chair is different, and it’s such beautiful fabric 💕🌸💕

@nickybomont6074 Год назад

Your chair is going to look really beautiful Camilla! Congratulations ! Just the sort of course I’d like to do, and in such a delightful place too. Thanks for sharing it🙏🏼

@jeanniehall1440 Год назад

@julielozano1852 Год назад

Love that you are learning new skills since you will need them for the future and it will save you soo soo much money 🙌🏻🙌🏻 wish I could help you but good luck 👍🏻

@norabrice Год назад

Oh my goodness, the adorable curious energy you have for creating custom treats for your family home is very refreshing. Thank you so much for taking us all along on this journey with you! 💖

@toddmurphy523 Год назад

I would have loved to see your hotel. As well as some of the meals you had in that most picturesque city. I think you and your teacher could become lifelong friends....and her knowledge of historic furniture must be immense....! Kudos to her.!! You have done a fine job on your Marie A chair.

@YT-Viewer Год назад

This is fantastic. Thank you. I wish these artisans were viable in the USA like they are in France and Spain. No wonder things are so lovely in that part of Europe.

@rowandowland1391 Год назад

Good on you! We visit Annecy regularly but didn't know about this business. As we're looking for cushion fabric we'll now drop by. All the best with finishing the chair.....Maria

@nikishazechiel6848 Год назад

Such a beautiful place! And your chair looks so lovely!!! I had no idea there was so much more than just covering the chairs in fabric! That's awesome!!

@amandahugo1421 Год назад

Camilla this vlog was brilliant.Thanks for taking us along to beautifull Annacee. Youve found a wonderful teacher. Should your budget allow I hope Celine can teach you how to do the wallpanels too.The material you showed with the flamingoes is lovely for your diningroom.

@margandjimdietrich9598 Год назад

I hope you will continue to use your new skill, chair looks amazing

@christinebrown2765 Год назад

Well done Camilla! Annecy seems to be a lovely location to maintain health and well being. It is good to see that you are travelling and following your own interests, like Ollie is able to do. I also did a course on soft furnishing years ago but I just made a bench cushion, dining chair seat covers and covered an ottoman. I enjoyed the course very much. Other courses studied were French and Gardening but linked to my employment, I had to study for more job related exams.

@lisadurban3525 Год назад

I have loved every minute of watching your upholstery course and the surroundings

@janeharris6925 Год назад

As usual, a fascinating Blog! Love it!

@SparkySenor Год назад

Camilla, I love the content that you've been making alone, so interesting and a real joy to watch. Bravo!

@maryann6884 Год назад

Hi Camilla, Once again, you have undertaken a fascinating project✅. Love that you’re such a perfectionist, but also, love that you’ll tackle anything.💚💗! Your excellent taste shines through, and you should really be proud of your beautiful chair.🪑 Besides viewing your work, I also enjoyed hearing from the instructor 👩‍🏫, seeing the shop and range of selection, plus the glorious scenery 🏝🦆🦋🌳. I bet you’ll find yourself a few more upholstering projects now👍 Very enjoyable 😊. Thank you.

@Lea-bw9wj Год назад

I hope you get the bamboo chairs restored rather than doing the fabric seat like you saw. The wicker seat is so lovely. And it could be another skill for you to learn if you find another workshop. Your chair turned out good. It will look lovely in the bedroom.

@suzzane.notsusan.1078 Год назад

Oh Camila it looks GORGEOUS I always have loved pink and green together they just go together hence a watermelon is pink and green. I LOVE IT❤❤

@joyabell4420 Год назад

I did a chair in lockdown with the help of youtube videos, but interesting to watch how to do springs. Maybe cue for another course. The chair will go perfectly with a number of your rooms.

@rayleneertle951 Год назад

Thank you for sharing, so interesting.

@anitanagahisa3049 Год назад

Wow, What an investment to learn to do upholstery 😄. I hope you now can recover other pieces at home. I guess you can consider it a working vacation.

@juliajoplin4238 Год назад

You did so great! I absolutely love you chair , gorgeous pink even though you got the “wrong” fabric. This was another lovely and interesting video! Thanks for sharing, your such a sweet , funny and intelligent lady ❤️🥰

@irenebibes4941 Год назад

How I enjoyed your journey into upholstery Camilla! I did a couple of courses not that long ago too and shared your excitement and the process for your chairs creation. Yes its hard work but so satisfying. The artisan here in Melbourne I did the courses with uses the line “saving the world, one chair at a time” as the chairs are always road side or vintage finds. Id love to be able to share my creation with you, pity I cant add a pic here.

@kathyrogers1703 Год назад

Beautiful chair!

@michellephillips8035 Год назад

Does this talented tutor have her own website? Absolutely love the end result of your chair.

@debtheguest3109 Год назад

The chair turned out beautifully.

@margaretglaser6227 Год назад

great work you are an artist

@None-685 Год назад

Would like to take a class like this. Upholstery is very costly. The coconut fiber must be replacing horsehair of days gone by

@annabelbunyard1365 Год назад

Looks like you had a fabulous time on your Course! Well done! Chair looks beautiful! I'm just about to reupholster a chair and really excited to see the end result!😊🥳

@lisakilmer2667 Год назад

Wow, what an involved method of upholstery. I'm really impressed that you achieved such a perfect finish in less than a week.

@melaniewest3947 Год назад

You did a great job with the chair. It was very interesting seeing the different way to upholster

@MK-Farm-Michigan Год назад

What a fun corse great idea. Beautiful Pink Barbie Chair! Thanks for taking us along.

@lisac1110 Год назад

@danielintheantipodes6741 Год назад

A magnificent result! I am really impressed. These skills will serve you well as you work on the house, surely transferable to many tasks as well as upholstery! Thank you for the video!

@luluandmeow Год назад

All the chairs looked great, well done ladies!

@junkogreene5644 Год назад

Camilla, the shots and the editing, including the speedy montage at the end of this video, were all so much fun! You and Celine are a great team. Actually, years ago in the US, my grandmother did a caning workshop: she learned how to recreate the basketweave style seat of a lovely antique chair. It took her forever to finish re-caning that chair, but it was very beautiful in the end. Maybe you can find a caning workshop someone in Europe? And please take us with you if you do? Many Thx.

@carolinejobe9346 Год назад

amazing thanks

@trinitystarclararose7118 Год назад

Just love this video 😍what a beautiful place. 🤩Thank you Camilla for taking us around. A very interesting course, and to take it in another country makes it even more worthwhile. To spend five days in that lovely city is just ideal and for us to as we follow you on your journey. This is a great skill to have. However, it will take many more chairs to get it down pat; I guess that’s what it is all about being an apprentice😊💕🌈🇨🇦

@dalewest4967 Год назад

I enjoyed that very much, I did an upholstery course years ago, it’s great fun.

@lovereikiASMR222 Год назад

Fabulous video! Camilla you are so beautiful inside and outside! What an interesting course. It looks quite challenging. Well done! Thank you for sharing the experience with us! x

@blakehahn-atlantaga8510 Год назад

That was amazing!! I’ve always wanted to learn upholstery! What a beautiful setting!

@aletverster Год назад

It looks like an amazing course and what a gorgeous setting! I hope you had a lot of fun as a Marie Antoinette Barbie upholsterer! ;-P

@Winton46 Год назад

I’ve always fancied going on a proper course looks such fun I’ve done bits of upholstery but never full on chairs like your barbie chair it’s looking super ❤

@None-685 Год назад

I would use some type of tweezer to hold tack nails- needle nose pliers.
