My husband of 47 years has broken EVERYTHING we have! I inherited my grandparents beautiful waterfall bedroom suite. It didn’t even have a scratch. He arrived with the furniture in the pickup truck, minus the big round dresser mirror, broken door & drawer fronts, ruined chest, & pieces missing on the bed! 🙄😡 No matter what it is, he breaks it.

@susanmahr6068 Год назад

Yes, good decision changing the black. White and the black made the room so cold looking. Sage green will be awesome.

@iu.5146 Год назад

The green looks so much better and more French. I love the armoires you got. The room will look beautiful when it’s done.

@julieb3464 Год назад

Like the Green decision in the wainscoting. Love the armoire in there. Beautiful! Great news on the animals.

@anagoncalves6335 Год назад

You know it's a hard job when you see a bottle of wine in the middle of the paint stuff. 😉

@OurFrenchChateau Год назад

😆 I was wondering who would catch that!!

@anagoncalves6335 Год назад

Well... I know the pain!! 😂

@allisontison40 Год назад

Years ago when wallpaper was very popular. When we bought our 1983 traditional ranch brick home. I was told to spend time in a wallpaper store. Choose a pattern that I loved. Not necessarily using that paper, but using the combination of colors. The artists that put those colors together have years of experience. Why not use their expert knowledge! The same goes for decorator magazines. Find out what you love, save them in a notebook. You will easily decide what you really will enjoy this way. The wallpaper I put up is still on my wall, and I still love it. I used the background color for several walls, and made a rectangular room more square. It’s still fabulous!

@galetaxera7474 Год назад

The green will be a softer vibe for a bedroom, but oh… having to repaint all that! The armoires are beautiful. Mimi, you have awesome parents. I’m sure they limit your screen time.🐾🐾

@OurFrenchChateau Год назад

LOL 🐈

@jimdepereira985 Год назад

I rather liked the contrast the black provided. But your the ones living with it. The armoire in the guest room is great.

@louiselewis5061 Год назад

Great vlog. I’m so glad you switched to the sage green-much more welcoming and relaxing. So sorry you have more work to do though. It will be gorgeous. Both armoires are stunning. Glad the animals are ok. Mimi is a lucky cat-her very own iPad 😊. Have a good week.

@sexydirrtymoney Год назад

Black and White is my personal fav combination of colors....but the green sage is absolutely stunning here!

@SuzanneBaruch Год назад

I actually really liked the black. Some black and white Toile de Jouy curtains with black tasseled holdbacks and black-framed art on the walls to draw the eyes upward would be a very sophisticated look!

@dottieditto9064 Год назад

Sorry, but black sucks the life out of a room. Ok for black furniture. It can be moved around or easily deleted. Any shade of green would be my choice. It would tie the interior to your beautiful outdoors. That said, love all you have done. P.S. 😊glad you changed the black to green.

@lorahart56 Год назад

I think the black was elegant. Just needed a little gleam. Satin, wax, something to make it shine. Once furniture, bed linens, pictures, ,etc. were in - it wouldn't have depressed you. However - that color of sage green is a favorite, so - good job. You always do you!

@kylieharrison3782 Год назад

Yes. Could have painted those square things on the wall and put some bright colourful paper in them ie orange red or golden yellow. Then put a similary bright colourfilled bed spread on the bed and curtains on the window. Then a red traditional patterned rug on the floor. It would have made the room masculine and powerfilled There's some rules of proportionately around decorating with colour. So for three colours its something like 60:30:10. I also suggest ypu consider putting colour on ceilings too. Avoid stark vivid white ceilings. In my opinion vivid white ceilings are sheer laziness. After all thats a lot of real estate up there to honour with colour, not ignore. I also agree that painted wood work needs to be,must be glossy. You need to use high gloss water based clear coat with a splash of colour paint in (also water based) to do the final coat over the wood work. Doing this prevents chipping and scratches of the paint colour. If you scrimp on stuff like undercoats, layers and clear coats it just look like poverty rather than elegance and high society. Plus it means you have work harder to maintain it if you dont do it properly the first time. Or you have to redp it sooner than if you do a fine finish the first time.

@yvonnestevenson6817 Год назад

Glad you decided to say goodbye to the black. Love how your cat loves the screen, these modern felines. Best wishes from Australia xx

@mrsl3758 Год назад

Love the Black! It was dramatic! Consider it a “dark neutral”.

@ranlive1 Год назад

The cat watching bird videos cracked me up. Hoping for a full recovery. I didn’t hate the black but your decision to repaint is good also. Looks like your vegetable garden was a big success for your dog.😊

@sandramadaris7814 Год назад

The tall armoire in the guest room is stunning. Growing up in South Mississippi with French ancestors meant we always had armoire in our homes. I love the connection to the past and always wonder what different clothes were stored in them. Love your chateau!!!

@debbieosborn9464 Год назад

I love the green! Things are looking great. So glad your fur babies are doing well!

@YourNextStep1234 Год назад

Love all of the 4 footed supervisors!

@sandra4710 Год назад

Very good decision on the black. Beyond not being very cheery it seems more like a modern day look rather that Chateau period times. You guys are amazingly patient and doing such a gorgeous job. Makes me so wish we would have done this when we were younger!:)

@maggiegray1698 Год назад

Oh,I think you are right but the black could have looked so smart.

@gloriagavaneli9862 Год назад

So happy for Mimi and Dominick. We love Lincoln half glass unprofessional and all.

@joangray8910 Год назад

The black was dramatic but you will also be pleased with the green. Lovely rooms.

@k.j.2481 Год назад

About the black paint.... Either way is ok. When you have over 20 rooms to do the paint becomes unique to each room. Not many people can say " I'll sleep in a different room in my house for the next 30 days." Completetion of the room in order for it to be used is high on the priority list. What do you think about that Lincoln, or maybe you should ask Waffle.😊

@sickntiredmom Год назад

I feel your pain on changing colors in the middle of a project. Also, thanks for keeping us updated on the animals.

@elisabeth6108 Год назад

Glad you changed your mind on the black. Green sounds lovely. Happy news on Mimi and Dominick. I love how the kitties keep close tabs on you all the time. They've clearly had a Kitty Konfer and decided that you require 24/7 supervision for your own safety and well being. Except for Mimi, of course, with her iPad.

@marynorthcutt9263 Год назад

Sage green will look beautiful. Poor Mimi. I hope she is doing better and enjoying her bird videos.

@OurFrenchChateau Год назад

She's addicted now

@dawnbarnes8729 Год назад

At first I was like you and unsure about the black paint. Then once you put the cabinet in, I thought it could work. It looked fine to me. But you are the homeowner. It’s y’all’s call. I think both pieces of furniture are beautiful. The armoire for the kitchen will look stunning with pretty dinnerware or service pieces. ❤️😊

@allysonsears Год назад

I liked the black. Although, it might appear different on camera. Whatever you have chosen will be right! 👌

@tjbren576 Год назад

I am REALLY glad you got rid of the black. It's a beautiful room, peaceful and elegant now.

@jasmineadkins-wills2297 Год назад

I was not a fan of the black either, but the sage green looks good. Those armoires are MUCH bigger than I would have thought!

@heathermcrobert9779 Год назад

Love the end irons!! I actually liked the black panels.

@lisaharner3720 Год назад

Mimi has the best life with you! Loved that she has her own iPad and looks very cozy. The black was very dramatic and modern. I feel your pain with paint colors. I recently had my dining room and butler’s pantry painted and as soon as he started painting, I hated it. Made the painter stop and switch colors. It added to the cost but it was the right decision to switch! The sage green will look fabulous in that bedroom❤I look forward to seeing the finished room.

@meankitty1333 Год назад

The green will be nice but I also really liked how crisp and modern the black looked, either way the room looks great and the armoire is gorgeous ❤

@wandabellamy5241 Год назад

Good decision on changing the paint from Black. The wardrobes are beautiful and I am so happy to her the pets are doing better!

@dianalewis8548 Год назад

So refreshing to get your vlog. Glad you changed the black. Going to be awesome when done. How did you move those amoires? Strong stuff. Glad Mimi feels better. Love the cats and donkeys too. Enjoy your night.

@jennyschateaufarm Год назад

How exciting! Sounds like the best kind of delivery! 🥰 I love the sage green! Good choice!

@zoerochelle Год назад

Mimi is a lucky cat!

@janetkountakis5700 Год назад

I loved the black with added black toile bedspread and gold frames and mirrors..very dramatic but the green is nice too

@TheKaseno Год назад

Your are my soul sister with your love for animals! ❤️

@bluesky7226 Год назад

Good choice on getting rid of the black! It was depressing. The armoires are beautiful!

@miriamharty5761 Год назад

Thank goodness you changed the colour to sage green it,s very calming. I love the furniture as for the cat watching birds on the ipad ....I have seen it all😂 so happy both the cat and donkey will be OK.

@valentinarodoracio8145 Год назад

The black is lovely with gold embellishments, you could add jewel tones ( green velvet with magenta pillows ) in white bedding with lovely white flowers, other soft touches . Vases of whimsical flowers..

@christinewilkinson3772 Год назад

I did like the black. It could have come together as you dressed the room, but the sage will be lovely and give you more options. Love the andirons and armories. Beautiful!

@deniereynolds6119 Год назад

Black furniture and black lamp shades. Black onyx fireplace are all excellent choices, but black walls are not so good because it does suck the light out of the room; unless you have lots and lots of windows.

@lynettewerner3559 Год назад

I agree on the wainscoting it looked like it shrunk, the white looked like it took over!

@mmandrac1 Год назад

Good news about Mimi and Dominick!

@Graceb630 Год назад

Hi You have a great taste This black paint is modern, does not reflect the architecture or the style of the chateau, the light green is more suitable. It is an amazing place you have. Much love ❤️

@babschmid Год назад

The sage green will lighten up the room. It will be a lovely room when it is complete.

@machellep1 Год назад

Congratulations on the sponsors!

@tracychewninghemeyer8231 Год назад

Love the black.. But its important that you are happy with it. Thank you for the Waffle updates.

@allisontison40 Год назад

Light pastels, ivory white, and gold were the predominant colours, and Rococo decorators frequently used mirrors to enhance the sense of open space.

@charc9009 Год назад

I know that feeling when choosing paint colors. Great choice in the end. I’m so happy Mimi’s prognosis is good. She deserves a comfy, happy life. And her watching videos - the cutest thing ever!! I’m looking forward to all you renovation progress! Good luck!

@brigidine37 Год назад

SO glad you decided to paint over the black! It looked so dull and cold. The green is definitely more harmonious with a French chateau!

@saraw8503 Год назад

That giant armoire is everything! The black could have been good but the green is way better.

@laurannwalton7654 Год назад

Black is such a difficult colour, good decision made. More work but you will be happier with the overall look. Lovely furniture, and pieces for fire 🥰

@predatornz.5493 Год назад

Waffle is just the cutest I hope she comes through the cancer treatment ok ❤. The black in the spare room just doesn't work way to heavy look the green is gorgeous and will keep the room light , and a calm colour good idea changing it . Furniture is gorgeous.

@bfox5767 Год назад

I didn't initially like the black but after you had 2 coats I thought it looked good, very elegant. I painted a dresser black once & thought it needed more depth so I added a black stain as a top coat. That did the trick. Also, the room looked a little too shocking with just the black & white but after adding furniture, accessories, & fabrics i think it think it would have looked more complete. The sage is fine too but I see a lot of it in many chateaux so I do get tired of it. I would leave the sage though & try the black in another room or a cottage. It is your chateau though so what you like best is what counts. Love the armoires & really love the log irons!

@TWROC96 Год назад

One can tell the quality of a person by the way they treat their fur kids- you two are the very best! Good news that Mimi's cancer is treatable- she looks like she is enjoying her retired life indoors, and glad Dominic's results are cancer free. The guest room will look great with all the hard work you have put into it.

@dianaford9040 Год назад

Great episode. Yay for Mimi and Dominic!

@OurFrenchChateau Год назад

Thanks :)

@lisadurban3525 Год назад

I wasn't seeing your vision with the black, so good decision to change it.

@jaimeochoa7256 8 месяцев назад

Glad you repainted...

@michaelw.8614 Год назад

Glad the pets are ok and switching to green was the right decision. The armoire is fabulous.

@amandabradley6256 Год назад

Those armoires are just incredible…….and yes……turning the black into green is a perfect solution❤

@jackieboudreaux6339 Год назад

Wow changing the paint so close to the visit has to be rough!

@11Redgrave Год назад

Thanks for the update. Love your weekly videos.....and your great sense of humor!

@OurFrenchChateau Год назад

Thanks so much!

@joconnor2717 Год назад

The black looks amazing,don’t second guess your choice.

@jayneturnbull5041 Год назад

The armoures are stunning, the one for the kitchen with that bevelled glass is my favourite. Good to hear Mimi has a treatment plan and that Dominick's lumps seems not too serious at this stage. All seems to be well in chateau world....for now.

@lauraanderson8244 Год назад

Not surprised that your cat watches bird video. My cat, Ladybug watches Nature on Public television every week. Loves the big cat programs.

@claudiamann7111 Год назад

So glad you decided to repaint the black. The sage will be so much softer especially for a bedroom. The armoires and the fireplace ladies are gorgeous. Great finds.

@parvanehshowrai7376 Год назад

very good job changing the color.

@SuperAbcdabcdabcdabc Год назад

I like the opening with him driving the tractor. It truly is a solitary activity. My husband likes to drive our tractor for it is a time for him. Gone are the VP banking days high up on the 28th floor.

@bethdonna1755 Год назад

So funny with Mimi watching birds on the iPad!😂

@donaldauguston9740 Год назад

Your two armoires are just gorgeous, and I'm SOOOOOOO happy you went with the green instead of the black. It goes with the wood on the armoire so much better. I know you've heard it before, but I love the gentleness you extend toward your animals. It's really lovely to see. DA - Vancouver, WA USA

@susandaniel6600 Год назад

The lighter color was a good choice. The black looked cool, but too a tad too modern. Love seeing your cats!

@rankinstudios5342 Год назад

Glad you are painting over the black. A lighter color is more in keeping with a Chateau.

@OurFrenchHouseRenovation Год назад

good choice on the colour change, the green will be timeless thanks

@lisaakinlabi Год назад

AAAwww Your fur babies are so very lucky to have you, kind and caring. I just love chateau videos, I can enjoy the room restorations and decorating without doing a moments work. LOL Things are looking grand.

@stephaniewilliams9469 Год назад

Do the whole room (or just the wood paneling) in that beautifully FRENCH sage green if you don’t like the black! You have a knack, so I’m sure it’ll turn out wonderful, whatever you choose! Good luck!

@mellow5123 4 месяца назад

Yeah, ix-nay on the black in the guest room. Glad you're going to change it.

@bradg7373 Год назад

That black reminds me of “contemporary” farmhouses here. You know the look. You’re from CA. Kind of over forever.

@jonimarchese7655 Год назад

The black did look good after the second coat, to brighten the room a nice white or cream colored, furniture would look good, now that you changed to the sage green you can pretty much dress the room anyway you want, I am so happy that Mimi and Domenic are doing better. Love from N.Y.

@conniebaldino1081 Год назад

A painting tip from a designer, Timothy Carrigan. He said if you don't want to use a contrasting color you can use 3 shades of white. It makes your molding stand out. I saw you were worried about the black.♥️♥️♥️😘

@dawnrudd2496 Год назад

Aww honey all the hard word you have done,but I would definitely get rid of the black,the room will feel much more homely in the soft green like the windows. Great interesting vlog. Thank you.

@angelatorlop4319 Год назад

I was watching your latest vlog while having my breakfast (as I do) and my husband came in and watched a few minutes just as you were discussing your unhappiness with the guestroom colour. As a kitchen manufacturer and designer of many many years, he felt that in his opinion it was the matt quality of the black paint that was giving you the unhappy's and that it needed to be painted in a "gloss". I do not know. I am sure everyone will have an opinion and the sage green you have now gone with is very lovely. I think that black was a very daring colour and very brave of you to attempt it and good on you for having a go. Personally, I would have chosen navy or dark blue, but this is what it is all about, getting to see what other people would do and choose. Maybe the black would have looked fine, in the "finished" room you know, full of furniture and bedding, etc to soften it up. The French wardrobes (had trouble spelling the A word) are stunning! Oh to have access to such wonderful pieces of furniture.

@peterwhite9261 Год назад

I agree about changing the black too. I think the sage green will work better. Nice armoire. Happy to hear the animals will be OK. Must be huge relief.

@CarolMartin-xm1ri 3 месяца назад

Beautiful furniture - looking forward to seeing those left behind by previous owner - love the engraved basket.

@ciarajames3760 Год назад

Goodness re animals. You’re both doing an amazing job with the château. The black was very harsh. Sage green will be lovely 😊

@user-do5rr2ff7c Месяц назад

Love watching your great efforts into making this beautiful building grand again.

@marlenewenrick4173 Год назад

Black is great! Try painting the finials and columns on the armoire black will unite it to the walls.

@heatherhoffman9719 3 месяца назад

The armoire is fantastic!, what a monster project! and the paint in the green is so much of a better choice!

@traceyyeoman8391 Год назад

My favourite Chateau by far and coupling cannot wait to see you bursting out first in the morning. Love your taste Amanda not forgetting the furkids. Love love it. And the Antiques. THANK YOU NEVER BORING .

@OurFrenchChateau Год назад

Thanks!

@creativecottage6137 Год назад

So pleased you changed the black was quite harsh on the eyes and masculine. I live alone thank goodness as I burst out laughing seeing your cat watching the birds on the iPad!! Poor Lincoln he tries so hard only to have the paint jobs taken away on the roll of a paint roller! Good vlog.

@elleeg.9413 Год назад

I liked the black but I am sure I will love the color change. I did see how the furniture did not go. I was looking online recently, having to redo a bedroom myself. I came across a white room with a lovely pink ceiling. It was amazing and is very tempting to do. Unfortunately, we do not have high enough ceilings. I have not made the final decision. But it is great being inspired watching you doing the restoration of the bedroom.

@terrywilson5048 Год назад

Enjoying your journey....thanks for sharing

@OurFrenchChateau Год назад

Thanks for watching!

@valentinarodoracio8145 Год назад

Oh, and a high gloss black paint! Not flat .. France is full of lovely gold light fixtures, also gold door knobs other strong accessories but gentle fabrics like white airy linen drapes with gold and black tassels

@lucyyoung5307 Год назад

Black is nice but in my opinion it doesn’t really fit the chateau. However, if you like it that’s what matters. Hi Waffle, hope you get better ASAP.

@allisontison40 Год назад

You should check out channel “ how to renovate a chateau, without killing your partner”. She discusses paint choices in her chateau… you need to buy samples and paint two coats on a large piece of paper, let dry. Look at it and make sure you love it. I think her new word is make sure it’s subtle! Her chateau is so gorgeous. Also “chateau de la ferte’ are really good to watch fir design help in your chateau. I mean to tell you… your beginning music and drone portion is magical! Good job!

@allisontison40 Год назад

Love Mimi’s video. I had a finch and trained her to come back to her cage by giving her finch videos to watch. It was so cute!

@maggiegray1698 Год назад

Their kitchen is almost a whiteout. Colour is tricky to get right but needs to be in my life.

@maggiegray1698 Год назад

These chateau owners have the best decor ideas. Good enough to advise the others I'd say though it's not exactly a race.

@stephaniegaromon3244 Год назад

The only thing about the black was how it washed out the wainscoting details. I love the wall color and always love sage green. It will be a stunning room. The armoires are beautiful. I think every time I watch, I comment about your views. They are magical. I also love the ceiling in your foyer, actually I love everything about your foyer. I hope chemo goes well. xx

@crystalhipp3644 Год назад

Truly a beautiful chateau. Great news on the cat and donkey. I had a good chuckle seeing the cat watching the bird videos. I cannot wait to see the room at its final reveal. The armoire’s were absolutely stunning, I too loved all the detailing.
