Restoring Our Abandoned Chateau Kitchen. 

The bunny popping out of the watering can was adorable. Great to see you back Michael!

I'm so glad you're back Michael. You were sorely missed you lovely human being. ❤❤

So glad you’re back Michael. Hope to be able to see your gardeners cottage soon ♥️

OMG this was a lovely Sunday evening surprise 🫢🎉

This kitchen will be perfection when Michael is finished with it. That cupboard and table are marvelous. I always enjoy what's going on here.

One of the best channels has returned! So glad you are doing this incredible restoration. You are the right guy for this. Your talent and attention to detail is unmatched

Missed you. Welcome again. Michael and his talented world of creativity is here. Everybody on board: "let's do it"!!! 💪🏻👏❤

Michael it is SO good to see you posting again. Do you ever think about how truly influential you are? Your first video is really what started the success of so many channels. The cottage garden is beautiful, like everything you do. Glad to have you back!

Michael, you were meant to make videos, this was just dreamy. So happy to see you friend!

A very BEATRIX POTTER moment with the bunny popping out of watering can!❤😊

Your Dad never ceases to impress with what he still does at his age!

Oh Michael, absence does make the heart grow fonder. How I have missed you, your sweet smile, and your wonderful taste. Joy of joys, you are back!

Great filming in sync with music--especially your Peter Rabbit in the watering can. Love it!!

It doesn't look like the Titanic anymore. Excellent Work!

There’s no better sound than the opening music of Doing it Ourselves and Michael Petherick’s voice for bringing a massive smile to my face. Pure bliss! The chateau kitchen won’t recognise itself! Let’s Do It! Woohoo!❤❤❤

Delighted to see you back, Michael.

Michael sooo happy to see you! I've missed you and your videos. Your garden looks lovely. ❤

Great to see you back again Michael and the bunny popping out the watering can was lovely a bit of Beatrix Potter.

Wonderful video! Absolute perfection! The music was soothing, the editing was spot on, Michael looked great. Can you tell I’ve missed you? Welcome back. Please don’t leave us again!

Michael! So very good to see you again! You were missed! Hope you were tucked away somewhere with someone special!😊 You are such a wealth of inspiration & information! Thank you for sharing with us!❤

I love the music. It is perfect for your footage. I found myself smiling all through this. Great work.

That bunny in the watering can was a moment of zen 😊

It's so refreshing to have you back, Michael. You've been missed!

You dad just amazes me doing all of the work he does at his age. I'm only 57 and he could work circles around me.

It’s always a treat when Michael posts a video.

I forgot how much I loved that color on the wall! So rich and beautiful.

Welcome back Michael;We've missed you.

The music is always so beautiful! I'm quite the dreamer, and the Chateau reminds me so much of Cinderella, while the Convent reminds me of something from The Sound of Music (probably the nun ties). I think if Walt Disney himself had a DIY channel, it would be very much like this 😊

You are such a fantastic filmmaker Michael, your opening sequence was pure artistry, even with the dirt and dilapidation. You have such a gift.

Nice to have you back, Michael. The music, the scenery, the detail in your videos, so beautiful. The little Bunny popping out of the watering can, the best!😊

No way!! I feel like I’ve waited a lifetime for this to happen.

So many people love and have missed you, Michael. I'm so excited to see your future progress in the kitchen. 🇨🇦 💕

You have such a talent in this and so many other things. Really happy for the video!

The bunny in the watering can made my Sunday! Thankyou! It’s great to see the progress!

The kitchen is looking so much better. It will be a lovely meeting room for the whole family. Well done Yannis, Nick pops and Micheal for getting this far All the hard work has paid off. Just get on with it.😊 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

I love the whimsy you add to your videos, so glad you are back 🌸🌺🐰

‘let’s do it’ is a brilliant catch phrase for you Michael. 👍

You have been missed! Your style and attention to detail is second to none. The music in this was especially wonderful, too. Seeing the kitchen looking clean and bright is such a treat and we're all looking forward to seeing it restored. Welcome back!

So good to see you Michael. The windows are going to be super! Great cinematography & music .. thank you 👏❤️

Great to see you back Michael. Can't wait to see the kitchen coming together ❤

"Welcome back Michael!" I think I'm going to cry❤😊

Had to get a bowl of popcorn and a glass of iced tea and watch "doing it ourselves" what a great surprise!!! Glad you are back Michael working on the kitchen, always miss you when you are gone. Loved that bunny popping out of the watering can at the end....cute!!!

I came to say Welcome back and how good it is to see your vids again! Clearly I am not alone in thinking that! Great job.

Wonderful to see you revive your channel, Michael, you've been missed!!

Just hearing the theme music makes me happy!!

So glad to see this vlog Michael. Good to hear that the terrace is now completely sealed. That was quite a job. It is lovely to see that the windows are out of storage and being worked on.

You're so much better at telling a story on renovating something than anyone else in your family. Like the search for a color chart, which is a one time thing but really recognizable. Looking forward to the next part.

And I almost went to bed without checking RU-vid! What a treat to have you back Michael ❤️

Michael, this was wonderful to watch. You've done a spectacular job of rescuing the kitchen. I loved your "B" roll also. The bunny popping out of the watering can was so cute. I'm very much looking forward to the next vlog. Cheers

Congratulations Michael the terrace looks fabulous. So good to see you back in the kitchen again.

Exceptional as usual, Michael 🙌🏼 I do hope you’re able to make more videos because they’re simply special. Life can be messy but these are always such a bright spot!

It would be wonderful to see the two bedrooms you recently decorated being fully furnished, dressed and complete. They looked great! ✨🇦🇺

My last comment got so long I had to start a new one lol. Michael, I agree I want to cry when I see your back. Not only does the color of your kitchen glow in the sunlight, but so do your surprisingly blue eyes, which seem to twinkle with your kindness and good humor. Please excuse an old lady for waxing poetic, but I can’t help it because you are very much loved on this channel and we all I want you to know how very much we value your videos and you yourself. You are such a kind and sweet person and you are lovely to watch. You are so talented, and I too love Beatrix Potter and I’m loving the bunny rabbit which actually I had one exactly like yours at one point. Unfortunately I developed the worst allergy I’ve ever had to rabbits. I don’t know now if I still have it or not since I don’t have any bunnies, but since I love them, so much it was very disappointing to have that happen. I could go on and on and I often wonder if you have time to bother reading all the comments or not I hope somebody does at least and let you know how much we have missed you and look forward to your future videos. If I was young again I’d come film you for free! Even if you could get somebody to film and you had to edit it, it surely would take less time than setting the camera up every time you turned around. It’s too bad you couldn’t set up some cameras or even wear a head cam, or a body cam. Maybe we need one of those channels you know that they use to watch animal life where we can tune in and watch anytime we want lol. Can you set up permanent cameras that you can turn on when you need them? It’s all quite expensive right?

Such a perfectly edited vlog. The music is stunning that works beautifully. It’s an incredible journey watching how the kitchen has found it’s voice again 😊

So glad to see you again Michael. Be proud of yourself,😊

Great videography! As always the music was amazing! “Let’s do it” is perfect catch phrase Michael. You are definitely a perfectionist so I know the kitchen reno is in good hands. 🇨🇦🙏❤️

Welcome back, Micheal!! You have done an amazing job on the kitchen so far! The green on the walls is beautiful! The château and the convent are such special places! It is a privilege to be taken along on the journey! The bunny in the watering can would be a perfect new painting!! Love from Pennsylvania, USA

The opening music gets me every time!!!

You are such a good presenter. Very natural. Everything about your channel is creative and professional, from the filming , content and the music . Never boring and the only channel I don’t fast forward !

That was wonderful, Michael, and you melted my heart with the B roll🤗

The wall colour and the stained window frame looks amazing. Wonderful start to the Chateau kitchen windows thank you Michael 👏

Thank you sooo much Michael. Full of such joy and a really magical feeling, especially with the wonderful music. It's so good to be reminded of the beauty at the chateau, that you are all surrounded by every day. The work you do, the way you do it - your care and dedication to bringing out the very best in everything is inspirational, but also grounded in hard graft. Thank you again, take care, and hope to see you again soon. So much love x

Michael ….. miss your creative - lovely - imaginative - vibrant spirit …… it’s a good day when you post a video …… ❤ …… “ let’S DO IT “

So lovely hearing the theme music from 'The Darling Buds of May' at the end. Just perfect (or is that perfick) for your channel and that little Bunny coming out of the watering pot was adorable. So wonderful to see you again Michael, you, Sadie and Billy are just the best, along with the rest of your crew!

Absolutely beautiful Michael, you're filming and editing is superb, the music had me floating away as if I was there at the chateau ❤ The kitchen looks amazing, you've worked so hard as well as everyone else, you should be super proud of yourself 😊 I can't tell you, how much you've been missed, so glad you're back ❤

I was fed up and decided to go to bed early......then up you popped 😊 well your intro music alone lifts my spirits....😊. Michael, thankyou so much for including us in the chateau kitchen renovation, looking forward to seeing you again soon 👍👍🤞🤞🤞👏👏👏👏

It's wonderful to see you again!!! We've missed you so much!!! Please grace us with yourself much more often, Micheal, you are adored!!!❤

So nice to see you back Michael!! I just painted my office and hung your drawing of the cows and pig in a frame for my bookshelves and love it. I do not think I could ever get too much of the Petherick family. The bunny coming out of the watering can was awesome, so you, and would make a great next drawing.

Good to see you back showing off your skills again! The bunny popping out of the watering can made my heart happy, adorable little surprise!

Glory be!!! Michael is back and just a good as i remember.

Michael, what a pleasant surprise to see you again in the good of everything. Congratulations, you deserve the best for sure!

Michael you are a big tease!! The new furniture for the kitchen looks stupendous. The work you have all done there is magnificent. No wonder everyone is so pleased to have you back❤❤❤👏👏👏

Micheal you are such an artist. Your videos are so beautiful and enjoyable to watch over an dover again. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. We're the lucky ones ❤

It really does go to show what having a little bit of vision for a space, a piece of furniture, etc, will do. Now. This did take TONS of T, L, and C. But there are charming and qualified chaps to get the work done and inspire and educate people like me who has become a firm believer in the U.S. reintroducing the likes of lime mortar back into our modern zeitgeist.

It's wonderful to see you back Michael... and working in the chateau. BIG HUGS to you and all of the family.

Absolutely perfect beautiful music and drone footage ❤so glad you are hopefully back!🙏❤️

Cant stop watching the bunny in the watering can! Very beatrix potter, so cute

Dearest Michael you make my day. I am so happy to see your return. Looking forward to more art and your lovely presence.❤🎉

Well done Micheal it's really nice to see you, can't wait to see all your progress

Michael it was go great to finally meet you in person at LaLande. I’m so happy to see you back at it at yours. Bon chance! Gillian 😊

Wonderful film making. I love it. Quality. Thanks Michael.

Michael, you are so good at this, just love these videos 🙂

Great to have you back! While I may not need to watch paint dry, I was looking forward to watching you paint!

Loved the music throughout. It's reminescent of music in old movies we used to watch as kids, which is very comforting. It evokes memories of a time when life was slower and uncomplicated but joyful. I loved the video portion of the hummingbird, bee and bunny peeking out of the watering can. Your life is ideal compared to the lives of some of your viewers. God bless you for sharing this kitchen restoration with us. I don't know if you realize it, Michael. Here in the States, there is no fit tv to watch anymore. So, channels like yours have taken their place. It's a relief not to have to endure mind programming anymore, telling us what we should want. Watching this today was very healing for me. Thank you.

We've all missed you, Michael. I hope you can make a regular series. We really like you and would like to see what you're up to. Thank you. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊

This is the best and first Chateau channel that started my obsession with all the other Chateau channels. Excellent video as usual.

👍🏻👍🏻Its coming back to life! Loved the bunny in the watering can.❤️

It’s fantastic to see you again Michael. Glad you are back. Looking forward to seeing the kitchen done. Thank you. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩

What an awesome video, Michael! You have accomplished so much so far on the kitchen renovation. Looking forward to seeing the windows painted, varnished and installed. Great job on sealing the patio! Well done.

You are always so clever. Very talented man.!

Nice to see you on this channel, Michael. I’m really looking forward to seeing your progress on the kitchen. It has improved so much already.

We are so happy to see you again Michael! The downstairs kitchen will be beautiful! And it’s nice to see the patio finished and see the green house coming along as well. Bit by bit everything is looking better and better….😊

Handsome Michael- back at it! 😃

Thank you Michael - it’s good to see you again x 🙏🏻😊🙏🏻

Michael, honestly your videos are so worth waiting for.. well done..

Really enjoyed that Micheal & loved the music choices ,also little snips of your animals 🤗

I'm delighted to see this update. What a daunting project but so worth the effort - a magnificent space.

I am so excited about the kitchen start!!! I have wanted to see this for years, too. Whatever you do to the old girl, make her beautiful and elegant. To me, she should be the best hang out room for the family! ❤ 😊 ❤ 😊

So exciting to see the grungy green, damp kitchen transform and brighten up. 👏🏻👏🏻. Michael, you’re not the only cuteness in the video; Tommy seems to be your little shawdow🐾 and the bunny was adorable peeking out o the watering can. 🐇 Cheers from sunny Kansas USA, Zura 😎🌞

So happy to see you Michael you are missed
