THE NARNIA STORAGE ATTIC! 

Annalise and Dan, taking care of all the roots at the chateau 😂🌿💇🏼‍♀️.

Kirstie has such a pretty face. Her dimpled smile is contagious.

You should put a wardrobe in place of the door, so you have to walk through it to get into the Narnia room

Dan didn't get away with the flowers quick enough 😂 The attic looks amazing!

Could you have Amaury build a nice big fabric cutting table in the attic or is it too dusty. Would be great to take your pattern to the attic cupboards, select your fabric, lay it out and cut it all in the one place. The table could be covered in a dust sheet when not in use to keep it clean. Just a thought as I remember you having to use the floor. Deborah, Melbourne

Had a good laugh at your efforts to retrieve the flowers but they are worth saving. Annalise did your hair beautifully.

SO lovely to see Annalise, missing her in Dan's vlogs ☹️ Attic looking good, hair looking good... It's all coming together! 😊

Mary seems like such a sweet, calm person!! Sad to see her go!! Every volunteer who comes to Lalande is so interesting, gifted and eager to help!! What a blessing for all of you!! Not forgetting Amaury...an in-house carpenter is a God send!!! USA

This is the first I am really seeing of Selmars new love and new life. I am in tears with happiness for them. I hope they do a vlog for their chateau too. Selmar deserves everything good, he has such a gentle soul. Bless him.

Annalise looks stunning 🥰

Mary! You will be missed. You did such a great job in the attic with the fabrics. Rebecca! Wow! What a job on the trims! Love it! I also love all the wardrobes and the organization. Stephanie! You are right! Cleaning out and organizing is good for the soul! God Bless you Mary as you travel to Berlin!

Always love to see Tatyana in a vlog, such an elegant woman, soft spoken and sophisticated. Your new hair Stephanie looks lovely, the cooks at LaLande are so talented , glad all the women ran to save the flowers. The closet shelves need liners but I guess it was decided not to put any, hopefully over time the wood does not stain the fabric.

Best day ever! Hair done, fresh flowers, Christmas organizing, amazing food!

Annalise is really talented 😃 These vlogs, with all that is going on in the Chateau, are always my favourites 🙂

So lovely to see an old Stephanie 'Chateau Diaries' - loved it, a bit of everything. Amaury really is making a difference.

I enjoyed this blog. I 'am a Person that did hair for years Annalise is great at what she Does. A true professional. And Your cousin is a man just like Dan of many talents.

Annalise, I've said it before but it is worth mentioning again: You do amazing work! Staphanie's hair looks fabulous.

I love being organized, but it is so funny how unorganized it all gets when I am looking for something., How nice it is to have a whole attic for this reason! Your hair does look really nice too.

The attic is looking really tidy all the things in the right place makes it so easy to find things. Annalise did a lovely job on your hair Stephanie . So many pretty coloured flowers shame they will not last long. Loved watchin x

Thank you, Stephanie, for sharing your mid-process hair and fallen tree adventure with us. The mad chatelaine look made my day.

Stephanie, your hair is absolutely gorgeous and the style is so flattering on you! Annalise is so talented! Thank you for sharing your life with us. I smile and laugh at least once during every episode. You and the rest of the Lalande Family are truly a delight to watch. Blessings to you all!

It is such a blessing that your cousin moved in! He is such a kind, gentle, soul and very good worker. I see things are moving along swiftly and properly! That reminds me, what's going on with the downstairs' loo? At this pace, you fill finish BUILDING the new one before that one will be finish...? lol

Yay to see Analise! These last few blogs are so much fun. Like the old ones, more natural! I’m really loving them!

Stephanie i am very happy as well that Amaury is living with you. 😊❤

Hello LaLonde Ladies and flower rescuers, a suggestion, add a little foliage to your vases.

Stephanie these vlogs are fantastical like the old days thanks for making them nothing beats it when you are camera woman 💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely gorgeous trims. My uncle by marriage, his father invented "the" machine for making such trim. He supplied many of the couture houses in France. My uncle knew I loved to sew historical costumes and gave me a huge box of leftovers. Some have notes mentioning the designer for whom they were made.

Yet another lovely vlog. You can see how much you love having your cousin live with you Stephanie. You deserve as much joy as you share with others. Your vlogs are getting me through a tough round of surgeries right now. Always making me laugh out loud along with you 😊😊😊💖

What a genius storage solution you've devised with your collection of armoire!. Wish I had a big attic to arrange my storage as you have done.

Whow !!! That was fun. All systems go at La Lande . Its always a joy to immerse oneself in the happenings and goings on in a house a world away in rural France for a half an hour. Stephanie you are a power house of content and interest. You are walking us all through the process of living in the present and living with intention. Thank you.

The neighbors will say, “she must be preparing for Halloween.” Hahaha

Think how much Tomas would have loved the attic project.

So nice to follow the daily life of the chateau!! Stephanie is such a warmhearted beauty ❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations on the excellent storage project in the attic! I enjoy all the wonderful characters at LaLande. Great vlog and great hairdo by Annalise.! Thanks Stephanie🙏🏻❤️

My prayers 🙏for Dan's little Thomas 🧸💐 in the hospital Helloooo my Angel's of lalande Lovely to See you all....

I wish Isabel were there. I would love to hear how happy she was to see things being tidied away!

I'm certain I've not missed a vlog, but I can't remember seeing any content showing the grounds in full bloom. I recall seeing a sunflower that had just revealed it's beautiful bloom, several passing glances of the courtyard, fruits and veg growing very well despite the cold wet summer, and other bits of the garden here and there......however with all of the gifts of seeds, prep last fall, sprint this spring, and long wet hours of work all summer I had hoped to see a tour of the grounds in full bloom. Please don't think of me as ungrateful. I am beyond grateful and fully aware of the tireless time spent creating these vlogs for us to enjoy... It's just that seeing bits here and there did not afford me, and perhaps others, a clear picture of the gardens splendor. I had hoped to see the magnificent grounds of the château reborn in vivid colors and textures; all thanks to planning, gifts, endless hard work, and investments. At any rate I now have an excellent excuse to watch the vlogs again......you know in the event I missed something. Not that an excuse is necessary to enjoy the vlogs once more. A second viewing will certainly allow me to take note of the background rather than the subjects themselves. Cheers!

Stephanie, I LOVE the deep tones in your hair! Love it! You look marvelous!

I’m so happy to see how well the Cosmos did. I sewed some seeds of the same variety at our new place, (plus poppies) watered them all summer long, they never flowered then. Well, all the babying eventually paid off, as they are now in full bloom … they are so beautiful. They do lean over a lot but I believe that’s part of their charm …. Delighted to see you ladies running behind Dan to grab some cut flowers for the house. ❤️❤️ I never saw any poppies though. Hope you still have the seeds and will grow some next year. I know that Stephanie loves poppies. I do like the new, organized storage in the attic. Great to have Amaury there, too! I’m looking forward to Tatyana’s reveal. Being in Selmar’s life suits her … she is looking lovelier each time ….

🥳Annaelise Sighting.... Hair color/cuts look great!

LOL Amaury! “You do realize I measured the play mobile.”

Empty cardboard boxes can go on the compost heap, worms love it.

The volunteers are a serious help in getting stuff done!!

Amuary is so gifted, when you find gifted men like, Amuary, Dan, Ian, all the Ians, Phillip, Selmar, and the lot, you have to hold on to them!!! Such blessings!!! Maybe at Thanksgiving do something really special for them!!!

The attic s a wonderland to me.. behind every door is a surprise. It is magical. ladies as ever your hair cuts look beautiful. Annalisse truly knows her art. I love the progress of the pea-chicks! And great you ladies saved the flowers.

GREAT TO SEE ANNELISE 😍

How good it feels to have holiday stuff neat and organized. Your hair looks great.

I just love the whole energy of the place and people..

I once stashed so much stuff in the back of a wardrobe that a friend asked what I was going to do with it all, so I said, “It’s Narnia business” 😆

Your hair looks fantastic! Attic is so tidy!

Sorting, organizing, may I just thank God for those who are gifted with those skills!!!

As a confirmed organization freak, this vlog warmed my heart, so many beautiful things, can’t wait for the Lalande Christmas celebrations

Dan and the digger - I think his rear end is going to become fused to the seat. But it IS a handy tool indeed. You all have too much fun. But we enjoy watching. I hardly believe Natti is ever going to go blonde ever. Too beautiful as a brunette!! And Steph's hair looks great - Annalisse is a hair wizard (well not a witch - didn't want to imply that at all). Hair GENIUS is better. LOL!!

Your hair looks fantastic 👍. Annalise is fantastic.

Each wardrobe goes to a diff universe ✨

your highlights and lowlights look great for transition into fall. everything is so organized for each event, gives me some inspiration to tackle my own boxes of stuff

I love your cousin so much! He's so knowledgeable and helpful, and he fits in with the community of la lande perfectly. I hope he stays forever!

When Steph has the camera and flying round it is superb. You don’t need red bull…just watch this! There are some people who work better with a partner but for me Steph’s glow and energy is brightest when she is at the centre….and almost uses us as her partner. She just seems to bring out the glint in peoples eyes…and naughtiness!! Ps hope the new credits will include amaury….nati….cat…Dan..Philip…and kirstie

I live in Canada and when I saw you ladies harvesting mistletoe I decided to follow my hunch. With our winters fresh flora sometimes can only survive by being dried. I am pretty sure all of our mistletoe in the past has come to us dry. So I googled it and this is what it said "You can accelerate the drying process by placing sprigs of mistletoe upon a layer of borax, silica gel or even cat litter in a shoebox or other covered container, then covering the sprigs with another layer of the drying agent and closing the container. The mistletoe should be desiccated within two or three days". So good luck with saving as much as you need for Christmas!

Amoury is a legend..i like that!!

Love your hair. Annalise does great hair! ❤️☺️

It always feels good to have a place for everything and have everything in its place. Great team effort. Sad Mary is going. Annalise did a great job on your hair. The peach bathroom is looking fantastic 😍😘

I am now obsessing about how I'll organize my x-mas decor after Christmas and that pumpkin soup!

Amaury is amazing…and a mind reader it seems! 💕setting an unbelievably high standard for all men worldwide! ❤️

It's done!! 🎉👏🏻 OMG I love when things are organized and easy to find in cabinets. You all did an amazing job and you are so right your cousin is definitely a legend. This guy is efficient and fast, unbelievable. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

LOVE Thursday vlogs; a litte bit of every where. Your hair look's fabulous! LOVE you guy's! ❤

Hey Ian: my mother would have been proud about the ‘basin’ comment. Actually, the wooden spoon would have been produced if I had confused a wash hand basin and a sink! 😂😂😂

Love getting “stuff” put away. It is such a fabulous feeling - just as Stephanie has said.

Wonderful to see the armoires used as collections of whatever doesn't fit anywhere else. But everything is organized!

The job cleaning of the Chateau grounds is a must as is everywhere.. the summer and fall flowers 🌸🌷🌸🌹🌼🌻 🍂🍁are gone but not to be sad because we get to look forward to winter ..beautiful too ❄️☃️⛷🏔 and Christmas🎄.. Ian did a gorgeous job of that new bathroom .. my fav color ..old fashioned pink🩰🐷 🚽 I lOve that Lalande has their own hairdresser Annalise .. that is special💗 she really does a wonderful job 🎀.. Jenny made my favorite pumpkin 🎃 soup amd stuffed peppers 🫑 ...soo goood! The Peacock family is just love 🦚 love them.. The Narnia storage is magical thanks to everyone and Amaury putting all the armoires together.. sorted always feels good .. lOoove all the 🎄 Christmas😁🥰 that will soon come out. Mary was so sweet .. helping with Lalande Narnia😘

What a beautifull and happy place to be in love all the people love to every one there

I’ve never been that close to my cousins so I think it’s the sweetest thing in the world to hear you and Amory calling each other ‘cuz.’

ADORE YOUR NARNIA ATTIC 👏👏👏👏

The marigolds will last in a vase of water. They will put out roots if kept near a window and with clean water. Then, you could put them in some pots in windows and overwinter them for some floral sunshine in the cold months.

WOW, I now have cupboard envy, along with chateau envy, fabric envy, garden envy, garden envy, French envy....need I go on?

Natty has the perfect desk: flowers, cake, tea 🤣🤣🤣

My husband and I are waiting for our passports. Hopefully next year we will be in Lalande!

We all LOVE Mary!

Have you checked the PH level of the soil the box hedges are planted in, it may be the soil balance is too acidic for buxus it should be 6.5 - 7.5, you should be able to get a sample kit from your local plant nursery

I think the blue glass beads could look really pretty in soft furnishings, that way everyone gets to enjoy them (as opposed to clothing which isn't seen/worn every day). I can imagine them around the base of a lampshade or lining the edge of some curtain draping, that way the glass would catch the light beautifully!

Fantastic vlog Stephanie it's great to see you running around seeing all that's going on the attic wardrobes are great and you fabrics trims etc will be all tidy

What a fantastic pumpkin... Chateau Diaries fun, with a coffee, always a great start to the day!

What a FABULOUS dream come true with all the cupboards sorted! LOVELY to see a vision come true. WELL DONE!

Hair looks nice Stephanie and the attic is nice and tidy and putting everything away good luck to the people that bought a house in France💕👍🏠🌹

Rosé in a green glass?!😳😉

It was lovely to see Annalise, I miss her in Dan’s videos. I do hope their little one is home and well, poor darling.

what a beautiful color for your hair Steff just lovely and Annaliese should open a hair salon in her home she is fabulous in her craft.

It's like a fish and vegetables seller moped van being chased by the ladies for daily supplies.. Annalise is such a gentle person and sweet .. You might want to keep few kitties in the attic..for any pest invaders...that might move in... 😸 Just don't forget to shut the door..to the attic.

Your vlogs are the best way to start or end a day. So much joy and such a great reminder to be grateful and joyful oneself. It’s no wonder you are so loved and cherished by your viewers. Thank you Stephanie. Have a lovely day. 💕

I adore the tile floor with that blush pink wall tile! And, Analise is the wizard of hair coloring.

I love all your renovations looking so good - I think you should consider doing a marble top on the shelf part and the top of the counter were you currently have the tile - i think it would pull everything together and look much more elegant than the tile and with a marble scrap should not cost much at all

So good to see Annalise!!! Love her sweet spirit so much!! ❤️

Such delightful helpers you have! All inspiring!♥️

Of course Jillian choose a lovely spot amongst the bright dark pink flowers. I love that colour too!!!

I have never seen the fountain on ! It’s beautiful in the morning light 🤩

Would love an up to date tour of all the whole chateau now that so much has been done and it would be also be nice too see how much the gardens have changed this year now that Dan and co have been so busy, I often get confused about where you are when you are filming as in where abouts you are in relation too the layout, it’s not that I am nosey though it’s just I am naturally inquisitive 😉at least that’s the excuse I use when am having a good old gossip but I think it works this way to 😂 sending you all love from rainy cold Devon 😘😘

That was such fun!! Thanks for all you all do!!

I think the mistletoe will be fine left on the branches outside. Trees are all losing thier leaves anyway right now and there wouldn't be sap in the wood anyway soon. It goes into a winter sleep.

Thought that was a pregnancy test! It would be lovely to make a ceramic version of that pumpkin to put soup in.

so much fun to watch !!
