INCREDIBLE DISCOVERIES in our ATTIC! Hidden treasures we found for the first time!! 

Denise and Brett, as a proud Aussie watching your videos, I cannot believe how blessed and privileged I felt today seeing all the history and treasures in your attic. Brett when you discovered the chapel ceiling, I can’t explain my feelings but I became breathless and really teary. I am so very happy for you both and one day I hope to make it back to France and if so, you guys can rest assured, I’ll be up for a visit so have the kettle on and ready. I can’t wait for the next video. Thank you both so much for sharing this incredible journey with us🇦🇺❤️

What an excellent time capsule the attic is for the Chateau. The amount of work getting accomplished is staggering. I do believe your Chateau is one of the most gorgeous ones on RU-vid.

i think terry and ashley would love that attic you'd never get terry out 😘

I think what is most heart warming about this ‘treasure find’ in the loft is how much you are all so respectful and in awe of it!…. This chateau is in good hands for sure!

Well that's exciting!

Thank you for allowing us to share a small part of your wonderful adventure.

Sauna in the Cellar? Torture Chamber? Sorry it is so hot here and my Air Conditioning is not working. I love the attic treasures. Clothing should be wrapped in acid free paper and packing into acid free boxes to preserve them, depending on the age of the clothing more may need to be done. Julie, Viscountess Hinchingbrook from Mapperton is having some garments preserved, some repaired, and others will be put on display for guests to see, when they visit (Coronation Robes). I bet she would love to come and visit your Chateau, she has a channel American Viscountess and she tours many Castles helping to bring visitors to them. She is also a Yoga Master and runs retreats - she would be a wonderful source of information and inspiration for your new life in a Castle. She just finished restoring the library (armament room) in their castle. Her Father-in-law is a member of the House of Lords in England. Her Husband, Viscount Hinchinbrook is heir to the Earl of Sandwich Title. They are a lovely down to earth family and such a wealth of information - I'm sure they would love to share any knowledge they have in preservation of antiques or to put you in touch with experts that do.

Wow! Your own private Brocante in the attic!!❤❤😊

You really are going to be the chateau’s stewards for years to come!❤

Once you have used anything you can to extend the beauty and the history of the chateau. Maybe you could set up a area in the attic to display the other history. Your guest could learn more and enjoy the history even more when they visit . ❤

Omg, you must have felt so thrilled to see that little peak of the chapel ceiling - I know I did😀. Wow, can’t wait for that 80’s ceiling to come down and reveal the sleeping beauty beyond. How cool to have your attic full of treasures. With all the history of the buildings, the contents, the people who have lived there over the centuries, I feel like you could offer enchanting guided tours. My husband and I recently stayed at Larnach Castle in Dunedin, NZ. We were treated to luxury accommodation, a pre dinner aperitif and appetiser, an introductory overview of the castle of when, how and why it was built. We were led to the dining hall, where its history as a music room was explained. After a delicious four course, chef’s choice meal, we were treated to a tour of some of the other main rooms on the floor. We were fortunate that night to have a guide who was a gifted and compelling story teller. She brought the castle history to life in each of those rooms. The next day we independently explored the rest of the castle, the beautiful gardens and picked out some memento’s from the well stocked gift shop. Dare I say it, but the depth of history you now live with is on a next level. If the history is curated and presented in a sensitive and engaging way then your legacy becomes one of educating not just merely staying a night at a castle. That’s what I’m enjoying about your videos, you are exploring and treasuring the history that’s there and you’re curious about what to do with it. Much love DW (Niecee from NZ😊)

The Attic is a Treasure trove of days gone by some to come alive again to be Treasured once again🌟

Denise and Brett, it is unbelievable that the previous owners just walked out leaving their heritage. Anyway there certainly some wonderful items there that can be adorned with the rooms and walls of your most beautiful Chateau. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. Take care, be safe and God Bless 👍👍🙏🇫🇷🏰

The attics just keep giving, I can’t believe the excellent shape the copper pots were in . What a privilege to find treasures wherever you look.

You are such a lovely couple. I am always pleased to listen to the story of the week. Take care of yourself. Take the time to rest and have some fun activities. We are renovating a part of our house and each part of our selection (ceramics, armoire, etc.) are not coming at the same time... Since two months we are tired to see everything «up side down», the boxes and all the dust... So, do not rush and take the time to laugh together :) When you see you are tired, my trick is to say to my husband «Time out». I hope you are going to save the beauty of this little Chapel. Wishing you the best, From Canada

I'm thinking... it might be a good idea to journal all your attic finds & where you use/restore them in the future. Should you also get more history on this historic place ~ journal that as well. It may very well add to a long history + help those whom may follow after you. God speed! Love what you are doing

Wow! Now that’s an attic that anyone would enjoy going through. Such a treasure trove of history.🥰🇨🇦

Fantastic vlogs, I could spend days looking at the treasures in your attic. Hope you can display some of them somewhere in your beautiful chateau

Wow, your own Brocante! Amazing that they left all of that there. I wonder if the flowers in frames were from someone’s wedding?

Back home from all my trips getting ready to start commercial fishing. Here in Alaska, I couldn't wait to catch up on your beautiful vlogs and stunning castle, aka chateau. 😀 🎉❤

The music was soft and expressive in this video making it easy to watch. Thank you.

What another treasure trove. The sunglasses looked very similar to ones that Aristotle Onassis was seen in - in photos :)xx

Treasures galore

Brett how can you leave us hanging? Such a tease above your head! May I suggest Darren brings back buy swap and sell just for you. Might take 10 years to catalogue everything, imagine the people queued up!😂. Maybe this is my favourite vlog now. Lovely to see your dear mum enjoying the attic! I can see where your personality comes from Denise! Bye from damp Geelong! Umbrella ☔️💖

You are so very lucky to have such a treasure trove of the past! Enjoy and please preserve this amazing gift!!!!

Love seeing the attic treasures. So happy you are also delighted with the finds. And will reuse where possible. Oh if those walls could talk.

How wonderful to have inherited that vast treasure trove of history along with your historic home!

I can’t wait for more of this. The treasures in the attic are amazing, so jealous lol❤. And it the original ceiling is above the present one, that in itself would be an incredible find, and great treasure.

You can shop your own castle with that amazing storage in the attic. Some fantastic finds there. Hehe, maybe we can play a little game and see whether we see any of those items pop up over time in your renovated spaces. (There is one thing I have already spotted in a new place - the gorgeous sconce with the sunburst, which is now in the treatment room toilet.) Hope your kitchen build is progressing swiftly so that you can finally move into your private apartment space!

You are so blessed to be able to have all the treasures. I can’t wait to see how you curate all the different treasures. Preserve it for future generations.

With all the rooms you have, maybe create a little museum?

I have the chills watching you discover these amazing treasures. I’m so happy you purchased this chateau so everything in it will be saved and enjoyed. How privileged you are to be able to touch these treasures from the past and we are so lucky to have you share this video with us. xx

Greetings from Brisbane, Australia 👋. Enjoying your videos very much. It would be wonderful if you could restore the chapel to its original form!!! Looking forward to the next video with anticipation 😊

I wait for your blog,your team, your family and you yourself are so engrossed in the renovation and the new findings which is most interesting. It’s like a period reinvented, love it.

I think in time you could literally have your in Brocante there lol.. keep what you want, and sell what you don't want to keep. How exciting, discovering all these treasures 😊 omg I really hope that chapel roof and all are above. Why would anyone cover it up 😮😊

💕What an amazing assortment of old unused items you have to look through at a later date💕

WOW🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

The attic is a treasure trove. Very interesting. So much history to unravel. Are you considering reinstating the chapel? You have a great team working there.

why would anyone cover that beautiful ceiling .. beautiful in the photo

If those are outbuilding attics, omgosh I can only imagine what treasures you'll discover in the chateau attics! I can't wait!

Wow...what a treasure....and there is your mirror for your treatment room

A treasure trove, some of the items look as though they’ve not been used. ❤

It's a wonder you get any work done as I would spend all day up in the attics. I love old crystal and china and watching you unwrap all those item was just wonderful. The things they have kept and the obvious quality is truly amazing. Can't wait to see what Denise does with some of the things.

What a score, the owners have been so generous

Thank you, that was so fun to see everything in the attic! Can't wait to see if the chapel is still intact! 😊

The attic treasures are amazing. And what an exciting find that the chapel ceiling is still there.

BEST

What absolutely gorgeous items you are discovering. I gasped at the ladies alagator shoes and the colorful wall hangings glad to see someone also thought they should be displayed right away. What a wonderful Chateau with elegant history you have.

So exciting that so much was left behind! My husband and I got to rummage through attics and barns when we lived in Watertown, NY. In the 1970’s. We furnished our home with many treasures.

How FUN that much have been...LOVE what your doing in the basement...LOVE from Chicago

You have some serious antiques and collectables up there. Saw what looked to be an evenining bag style powder compact a turquoise suede/shagreen at 12.25. Vintage collectors would go mad for. It would be brilliant if you coud find out who the items belonged to. Look forward to seeing what lies beyond the ceiling.

How exciting and what treasures! It will take months to go through it all but so interesting! Can't wait to see what is above that ceiling....."to be continued". Looking forward to it!!!

Every day is a discovery. Delightful way to live.

What a fabulous adventure, thanks for sharing!

Oh my....Brett with a pick axe! As usual, lots going on! Yes, that attic sure is the attic that keeps on giving great treasures from the past! Just fabulous! So much more to uncover and discover! You're right Brett, it sure is mind blowing! Another great surprise is what you may find in the chapel's ceilings, looks very promising! Can't wait to see! 😁

Wonderful and daunting finds! Thanks for sharing💕

it is definitely mind blowing!!!!!

So many and many Treasures in the Attics loved the dried flower pictures the round ones were just stunning . I hope the Chapel ceiling is still there too fingers crossed . ❤💚🏰 can not wait for the next update .

OMG how exciting to go thru the attic that is filled with priceless treasures that a lot are timeless pieces that can be used now. Wish i was there exploring and finding so much beautiful things...i love it

I bet looking at all of the items in the attic was mind blowing. 😮 I wanted to be there! 😊 Thank you for another wonderful video.

This was so much fun to watch. You are doing exactly what I would do and that is to take the time to explore your new home and it's treasures. So cool!

I watched your exploration of the attic finds. I especially like the flowers framed, could not tell if they were real. As you opened some of the boxes it made me think of wedding gifts never used, with the stickers still on the glass ware. I am so glad you stated that you wanted all the furnishings left, and retain the historic items. I sat with baited breath, waiting to see if the original chapel ceiling is there. From the photograph you showed the chapel ceiling is similar to the Lalonde chapel, from 'The Chateau Diaries' that is currently being completely restored. The little sneak peak appears to show that it may be still there. I look forward to your further renovations and explorations of your new home. Saskatchewan, Canada

Isn't that starburst light fixtures in the future spa the same as the other one you found or is that the same one, Lol? Amazing treasures left behind ❤

Thank you for sharing your treasures with us. How wonderful that so much was left behind for you.

Thank you for sharing your journey. We all have dreams, but aren’t able to fulfill all of them. I’m grateful you are sharing yours. I love this channel.❤😊

What a riveting vlog!!!! So many beautiful items in the attic!! Now we are waiting to see what is behind the ceiling. Hopefully the original chapel.

Great treasures but as you say …that’s for another time of serious examination ..unless it’s like the wall lamps which I can see in use already…good luck with the chapel roof

What a treasure trove! Amazing things in the Attic. You could do classes, how to make antique hats, Stamping, shoe making etc 🥰

A lot of treasures in the attic!! Oh my just love those old houses. You two are so lucky!!!! Lots of love from Tennessee!!❤

Bonjour Denise and Brett, what ana mazing time capsule you have. Everything looked intriguing, I am wonder what year, they are from, who wore the shoes and clothes. I hope the red carpet is in perfect enough shape to put it back. Everything from the crew is coming along beautifully. I am so curious about the Church vaults; I hope they are there and in really good condition. Looking forward to part "Deux" Love from N.Y.

with all the different roofs on the chateau where exactly is the "attic" or is it in another building - if you mentioned I didn't catch it and thought if it's in the actual chateau maybe your next drone shot can circle the location. watching from Nevada

Wow as I said in another video it would be like having your own Brocante! I would have been up there for the first two weeks just exploring, I was lucky to get to explore my Grandparents attic as a kid which would have been 1 tenth of yours. It twas always a fun adventure!! I can't wait to see what you find in future videos.

How exciting to look through all the treasures and think how many you have yet to discover! ❤

Wow how wonderful!

Thanks for such a fun video. So many treasures.❤

The copper pots, crystal, mirrors, carriage lamps… Millard filmore’s glasses. Treasure!

Wauw that chapel❤

I have always been fascinated by basements and attics. In my mind, there were amazing things to find. I so enjoyed this video. Looking forward to the continuation! Best of luck in finding more treasures.

NOGG ON MATE🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

Wir sind schon sooooo gespannt!!!!!❤

Exciting will be watching later

Hallo ,da könntet Ihr doch einen Trödelmarkt im Chateau im Sommer veranstalten.

Fascinating treasure trove in your attic! Looking forward to seeing more revealed as time goes by. And the chapel ceiling! Really excited to see that.

Das ganze Schloss ist eine Wundertüte.❤😂

That attic must have been like Christmas in April!!!! I just LOVE those sunburst appliqué lamps!!!! So cool, so Louis XIV!!!!! Was any of that glassware crystal??? Any of the green Uranium glass??? Any old Hermes or Louis Vuitton handbags???

Brett you are a terrible tease! How could you leave us in suspense until the weekend🤣🤣🤣😫😫 always some interesting progress thank you both❤❤

❤❤❤

What an amazing "treasure" you all found.

Wow amazing❤❤❤

You are so lucky to have so many treasures in the attic. Amazing. Your work is progressing very well. Thank you so much for sharing.

Such a treasure trove of bits of history! My first thought when I saw the eye glasses was what a fascinating art project to mount them in a shadow box. I do hope you are able to find many items that will find a new life in the chateau!

It would be interesting to know the identity of past owners of the Chateau. I just recently discovered I have distant French Canadian ancestry & Filles du Roi. Often (as would be for the powers of this Chateau) they were prominate in society & their history has been recorded. It's all been done! I hope you find some information in all those papers in the attic & maybe more photos of people.

Oh my gosh! I have just binge watched your series from start to finish. Don’t know why I have by passed your thumb nails before but so happy I stopped to peak. From your farm to the chateau is simply an amazing journey. Congratulations from a fellow Aussie and all joy and success to you both. 😀

What an exciting episode really worth watching with your treasures and the chapel ceiling XPipp🎊💐

Take that false ceiling down! Perhaps the 'kitchen' should move to a different room and the chapel become a room to be enjoyed.

You have enough stuff to fill a brocante!😊 What fun you're going to have. The local archive / marie/ church records will start you off as well. If it's listed the monument historique? Have you looked at Chateau Lalande and restoration of their chapel? May be good to get the name of their paint restorers - they're doing a fab job! Not surprised youre tired - hard yakka mate! 😉

One item I noticed looks like it's a part of a Norwegian national costume (Hardanger bunad). I wonder if you had someone from Norway living in the chateau at one time.

Are u going to hve a Garage sale ?

YOu don't need to go to an antique shop! Can't understand why they ruined that beautiful chapel turning it in a kitchen, it is not the first time I see this in a castle, but yours is so big , they had all the space they wanted, so strange

How wonderful to find things of years gone by 🇦🇺🦘🐨
