@pengdubit Год назад

again i think your dad has the best option. sacrifice that room to a sitting area. instead of creating a hallway.

@mariehoffman7542 Год назад

Careful that the metal feet of the dining room doesn't damage the wooden floor. Needs protection of some kind.

@jennifercampbell7698 Год назад

Yes, I prefer Robert’s option in preference to adding the hallway that impacts the 2 bedrooms. Also in case of fire guests may not be able to use the lift so more straight forward access to the stairs may be preferable. Love the new layout of the billiard table and new eating area. Also good idea to trial furniture arrangements and seating areas. Also the new location of Penelope’s apparatus is ideal. Perhaps some solar lights in the trees and around to light up nighttime performances? Congrats to Penelope on obtaining her work permit and visa! 👏🏻👏🏻🥳🥳🥰

Not having been blessed with a close knit birth family, I truly enjoy your interactions with each another. Sometimes, though, Bob seems a little overwhelmed by the energetic, feminine energy-I hope he allows himself enough solitude now and then. Thank you, as always, for your blogs as they give the viewers the sense that we are right there in the middle of all the activities. ❤️❤️

@hollykeller1545 Год назад

I’d rather have a fire escape chain ladder to escape out the window personally. But I’m sure the fire department wouldn’t agree.❤️. Love that a bike race goes by your place - so much fun for Pop. .. Congratulations Penelope!

@ladyofthechateau Год назад

Hahaha😂

@juliacobb4355 Год назад

I was thinking that same thing about the window ladder. I mean the entire chateau won’t be engulfed before the alarm goes off. Plus I’d feel safer not navigating stairs everyone else was rushing down.

@JanBee1122 Год назад

I love how Trubadour shared in the joyful moment of Penelope's Visa. I have decided I need a whiteboard wall in my kitchen, now that I have seen how it looks in your space. Skip the scratch pad, write on the wall. Loving this series, it is so inspiring to watch how you all work together so harmoniously to reach your goals. And may I say, your Mom is an absolutely stunning woman, I so admire her fashion sense which she seems to put together so effortlessly.

@evelynlobos1354 Год назад

I too love this show as the chateau is beautiful but I know the new changes will be amazing I love the maze in the garden is one of my favourites❤️ I love the French lifestyle❤️

@chechantal Год назад

Absolutely brilliant to convert the room in the Toile du Jouy suite with egress to the stairs into a sitting area or accessible common space. The perfectly proportioned king room should be left untouched. Creating long walks into dark, narrow hallways where there aren’t any already seems counter intuitive. The bathroom and kitchenette can be redesigned for better functionality if you really want to maximize the suite. Can’t wait to see what you decide there.

And to do this with your whole family is SUCH a blessing!!! I also LOVE your chateau!!! From the first video of Stephanie showing it to you, I felt it was so much more beautiful and magical than ANY of the others shown on RU-vid. If I ever have the fortune to come to France, yours is the Chateau I would want to visit.

Sending all best wishes for a lovely spring at Puy Vidal.

@maureenabray7660 Год назад

Parting is such sweet sorrow but the time will fly before she returns, safe and sound with her work visa/permit. I am all for the smaller bedroom being revised into a sitting room to allow for access to the stairs vs construction of a wall to make a hallway. In the States, the elevators are not allowed to be used as an emergency exit because the fire/smoke emergency may shut down the building's electric and then the elevator becomes a trap instead of an escape method. The outside lights look very romantic and effective. You might have late arrivals or very early departures so those outside lights will be very useful and welcoming. I'm very excited to see what comes next.

@ladyofthechateau Год назад

Thank you so much:) As for the hallway- Currently, all the bedrooms only have access to the elevator and not the staircase(only two out of four have staircase access). This is the reason that we need to create a pass through, as relying on the elevator as an emergency exit is not safe. :) We very much hope to find an elegant solution.

@trinitystarclararose7118 Год назад

So thrilled for decisions you’ve made so far regarding renovations. So happy you’re not rushing into major redesigning the château. Such wise choices you all have made, utilizing the rooms differently without tearing them down. I love how you Reshuffling the rooms they look so great and such great layouts of the furniture which gives a cozy feeling to the rooms . You are not loosing the charm and ambiance of the rooms. Plus can be used by many people for gatherings and socializing . Such wise choices to give yourselves two years before major renovations. I am all for Keeping the master suite as is. No hall way would be my choice. The repurposing of the bedroom is a grand idea as a sitting room for flow and access. Your well discussed ideas will keep unnecessary cost down plus you won’t lose the charm and history of the château a major plus ✋✋ All for redoing that floor and making it lighter, A little sanding and a lighter stain would be great. That was a master feet to reassemble the billiard table and putting it together again the location you chose for it is 👍 The Wisteria is absolutely magnificent. , I’m so happy and yet sad for Penelope, but it will pass, and soon she’ll be reunited with you again. hard to believe two months have passed since they arrived. But so much has been accomplished in the two months. Thank you so much for sharing your family time, your ideas, your decisions and showing us the outcomes, it gives continually to watching your Vlogs and it encourages us to share our ideas with you. Oh yes, by the way, that bicycle race was amazing to watch. Such well positioned cameras to capture them coming at you as if we were there watching it. That was enjoyable 😊 Till next time 💝🌈🇨🇦

@lindalawson7600 Год назад

I was overwhelmed by joy that came from knowing this beautiful place is in the right hands when I saw you repurposing spaces until the renovations can be done - the Billiard table to a larger room replaced by little tables at which people can gather. I also believe your decision to go through 2 more seasons As Is is very wise. The best renovations come when you have lived and worked in a place. Even better ideas will come to mind. You don’t have to be in a rush. She is beautiful as she is.

@evelynlobos1354 Год назад

That is why I will treat myself to a 3 night stay, I have not done anything for myself since 2011 since mum passed after 5 mths in hospital then I looked after dad who had alzhiemers, he passed away last week and his funeral is Saturday. I will go to Chile to visit the family first but will be planning my trip to Europe for April 2024.By then I am sure all the renovations will have done!

I love that you all are taking the time to sit with your decisions over the next season and not rushing into anything. It's so hard to predict how you'll use the space and what feels natural until you've actually been in operation. And even then, I'm sure your plans will adapt as Puy Vidal (hopefully!) finds success and maturity as a business. Congrats to Penelope on the work approval, and hopefully she will be back with you for good very soon! I didn't realize how much I missed seeing her in videos until she and your dad were back, but she truly brings such a positive and creative energy and I loved seeing Julia talk up her tech career accomplishments, haha. That's a good big sister!

Hopefully everybody is understanding that dad’s life has completely changed. This is a big move for him. Acclimating himself is not going to be terribly easy. But he has his hand with him and his little baby chicks. You could see them around him so he is in control of his family. I don’t want to say Incontrol I want to say that he is happy that they are surrounding him. He has everything around him. That makes him happy. It’s just not familiar territory for him. Give him a break today you girls

Congratulations Penelope!!! I feel your sadness about leaving. What a lovely walk you took, the scenery, the church, simply beautiful! I tend to like your dad’s idea with turning the one bedroom into a sitting room with access to the staircase rather than sacrificing the integrity of the historic and beautiful large bedroom. When you eat outside, the setting is so French and wonderful, but when you eat outside with candle light under the old flowering wisteria, it is absolutely stunning! Another great video. Hugs!!! xx

So much to think about and do! It came to me when someone said there would be no light in the hall if it was created, you could put windows at the top since the ceilings are very high and they would let light through, without anyone able to see in the room. You all work so well together. Your Dad must be in heaven with the bike races. There must be clubs to join for him. Happy for Penelope's visa - that's good news.

@lisakilmer2667 Год назад

Although it seems an interminable process, you are wise to analyze options for architectural work now, then try living with those ideas while you have guests. Your concept of "pain" or "pinch" points is useful. The building definitely does not flow! I agree with others that retaining a portion of the Toile du Jouy suite as a fire escape path is preferable to constructing odd corridors. It would be interesting to find out how the realtor listed the house as possibly 20 bedrooms! (Maybe dividing attics into new bedrooms?)

@michaelwieneke1992 Год назад

Another wonderful video, thanks to you all. It's so nice to be included in the early stages of your renovation. I really enjoyed the scenes of the bike race event, and how great that it came right by the chateau! There is a similar race hosted by nature valley held very near to us here in the twin cities (MN) and it's very exciting. I think you will make the best decision as far as hallway vs sitting area, both would be fantastic. Though I'm a little biased toward the sitting area, given the additional function it provides.

@tjbren576 Год назад

Oh, no question! Dad had it right. Go through the sitting room and leave the big bedroom alone.

@heliedecastanet1882 Год назад

Dear ladies, nice to hear from you again ! I hope everything is fine 🙂 Just a quick word to say that I am not sure that metallic chairs and tables fit with a wooden floor. The furniture is for outdoors, so it looks a bit strange. But if you want to keep it, you should protect the floor from the metal with rugs, don't you think ?

Love the cafe tables in the previous billiard room! And I like the billiard table in the larger room. Does your billiard table have a solid cover that can be like a table surface, or a ping pong table? Then you could put in cafe tables if you needed to and have a surface for serving food, etc. I’m glad you’re putting so much good thought into the changes for Puy Vidal.

Beautiful to look at now, not trying to imagine how it may look someday. I agree with what seems to be the majority that making a sitting room walkthrough is the best, least destructive option for adding egress to the stairs.

Its so sad to see Penelope leave again...but even more excited to know that france said yes and now she can get her visa 🥳🥳🥳 huge congratulations to Penelope. Great news!! ❤❤ Also I think Robert's idea of using the room closest to the main stairwell more appropriate for guests to access the stairwell. It makes more sense especially in a (knock on wood) time of an emergency where guests have to evacuate quickly. Maybe it can be used as a guest lounge or even waiting or resting room or small library. You guys probably already know what you'll be doing but they're just small ideas 😊 i can't wait to see what you guys will do ❤❤❤❤

My ex biked across the United States. After he returned his thigh muscles were like tree trunks. Many wonderful memories for him. I truly admire the skills of riding bikes.

Oh my, the cyclists were amazing! Perhaps your Dad will find another cyclist in the area so that he can enjoy his passion with a friend! If you are not in a hurry, perhaps you could ask some of your chateau friends what their ideas are on the hallway. Love your channel, I’d love to see you more often!
