Here on my channel, I am renovating a 250 year old stone cottage on my property in Normandy, France. By using traditional, low-waste and off-grid methods, I'm aiming to keep the charm and character of this old building, and turn it into a furnished, finished home for family whilst keeping environmental impact as low as possible. There will also be content on living in France, visiting beautiful rural places, hunting for antiques, gardening, and more! Hit subscribe if you would like to keep up with my journey, and hit the notification bell to be alerted when we go LIVE where we have a first viewing of the video as it is published with a live chat so I can answer all your questions! See you in Sean's World.

Beautiful chair!! That’s a great find. You definitely couldn’t leave that behind. 😊

@loislane5092 Месяц назад

The seat is one section of a so-called choir stall for monks. When they had their "office" services (laudes, vesper, etc.), for the long parts when they would stand singing the psalms, they could relax on that "cheat seat" and still officially be considered standing. That's why it's called the "misericordia" in Latin ("mercy") and similar in other languages. They could fold the seat back down when they wanted to sit. There's nothing quite as jolting as being in a silent part of a service when a monk loses his grip and the seat drops down with a loud "bang" instead of being softly lowered.

@Seans_World Месяц назад

Yes that's 👍 correct

@timeforturtles Месяц назад

Glad you commented on the seat. I came to chime and try and say something similar. Good description! When I watch these restorations from France I often think to myself, “small wonder she has been referred to as the Eldest Daughter of the Church.” ❤

@neeag4112 Месяц назад

That is the origin of the german phrase 'Halt deine Klappe', which was meant as an admonishment to be gentle with the seat and now means 'shut your trap'

@alisonheppell9748 Месяц назад

There are some in Ushaw College with very rude carvings underneath!

@msvaleriah Месяц назад

That's a very cool church stool. The little sitting ledge on the underside is called a misericorde.

@jangriffiths8013 Месяц назад

All that extra digging is so much work but I think you've made the right decision. Take care of your back!

@Seans_World Месяц назад

Thanks 👌

@KatherineAlfaro-zf2gk Месяц назад

I am so glad you rescued the last of the rocks. Now the kitchen, living room and stairs work together. Oh, that church bench is a true find. Perfect to go by the fireplace. The iron corner angels add class to the cottage. Your french oak door is a gem for the front door. Your iron gate was a steal for 20 euros. Joan of Arc, I believe, cost 5 euros. Sean, your eyes were dancing when you showed us the church bench! Indeed, it is an astrounding find. What a fufilling video today! Not only the goodies you and Sam found today will enrich and give your life joy, but your viewers will enjoy seeing them and gain knowledge about antiques. A killer of a video today. Take care. Hello from Yakima, Washington, USA.

@aussiepastor4352 Месяц назад

Joan of Arc, I believe, cost 5 euros 💯

@NancyTannehill-qn5zk Месяц назад

Sean , I love everything that you and Sam have purchased. Thank you for taking us to the garden, your property is such a magical place.

@carlaaijtink2586 Месяц назад

Very beautifull church stool. Those cast Iron corner part are awsome to❤. The cottage is going to look beautifull when it's done.

@Ruth-uj1dm Месяц назад

Terrific finds today. Including all those large stones. I'd say by the look on your face the painting was between 5 and 10 euros.

@mkv1783 Месяц назад

I hope you will show the picture again after Sam restores it.

@athomeinfrancewithsam837 Месяц назад

If l can make a good job of it we will hang it in the cottage when done😉

@monikastuckey8737 Месяц назад

I think the angels will be perfect on the fireplace. Cool finds! Love the door.

@joanlogan7416 Месяц назад

Perfect👍🏼

@dyannejohnson6184 Месяц назад

Oh Sean you and your wife are such dear friends I feel…I would be so delighted to touch the rocks on your ancient buildings, your schematics for your garden…the smells..the birds , your green house…thank you folks deeply for you journey That is a lovely seat….i saw one on another RU-vid site…nice to own

@Seans_World Месяц назад

Thanks so much

@barbaraharshman9460 Месяц назад

Sam did a wonderful job finding the door it’s beautiful!! Joan is beautiful also! Cottage is coming along nicely.

@sniderspider7034 Месяц назад

That is the coolest prayer seat, I think that would be ideal to sit down and take off your shoes - I'm also enjoying the food forest and am learning so much about good gardening.

@lisajahn6839 Месяц назад

I love the church seat! It is georgous! 😊❤ Outstanding episode! Garden is fabulous! 😊🥰👍

@beckyecklund5773 Месяц назад

That's a beautiful door Sean it's all really nice I'd pay twenty euros if I had Sam to restore it ❤

@lisajahn6839 Месяц назад

WOW! So many wonderful finds and surprises!😮😊❤🥰👍I loved this episode!

@christinecox8073 Месяц назад

Lovely finds thanks for sharing ❤

@Seans_World Месяц назад

Hi there 😊

@nickwatson2167 Месяц назад

The seat at the end Sean . reminds me of the boot polish people ? Could be man things back in those times . Nice find

@notdoingsogood2024 Месяц назад

Great stuff. 🎉 best to the family, including the kitties. ❤

@joanlogan7416 Месяц назад

Your finds are awesome❗️👍🏼

@jlamb8442 Месяц назад

Brilliant finds at the vide grenier. These items are perfect, love the monks chair (thats as I know it as) doesn’t mean I’ve got right though. Love your channel Sean & family

@stephaniegaromon3244 Месяц назад

I love the corner pieces and great finds by you and Sam. The cottage is coming along and I’m so happy it will be one level aside from the front door area. The tool you use to break up the dirt floor was one of your best purchases. It has paid for itself 100 times over. Saves your back and makes it possible to break through the tamped down dirt. I love watching you use it! I think the artwork is no higher than 10 euros by the look on your face. ❤

@judithstonier9872 Месяц назад

This was a lovely episode woth a bit of everything I love all the finds and your garden is beautiful I like that you explain the whys and wherefores of all you do in this great renovation 😊❤

@richardvinsen2385 Месяц назад

Everything will look amazing in the cottage but that door is fantastic.

@isabelmendi3973 Месяц назад

Your such a good man, doing all that work on the cottage floor, I like the chair , could it be a toilet basin seat holder, although it looks quite fancy.

@richardbell3844 Месяц назад

The church seat is called a misericord 😂😂❤

@jbart5260 Месяц назад

I thought the same thing as soon as you showed the brackets, They would look great on the fireplace area.

@teamum7729 Месяц назад

Oh Sean! That door is fabulous! What a find! And a fantastic price! Great score!

@zurastewart6375 Месяц назад

Fabulous finds all around, well done😁

@alberthameijer9037 Месяц назад

Very beautiful church seat 😍

@dianac52176 Месяц назад

The cheat seat will be perfect in the cottage, wherever you put it. Good buy.

@edwardulrich1515 Месяц назад

Sean and Sam, you've made great finds. The church seat is quite unique. The missing base was probably attached to a kneeler. Those cherub brackets are fantastic and will add interest to anything to which they are affixed, including your idea by the fireplace. The Jeanne d'Arc print is a great find. After Sam makes the repairs, you can hang the Saint prominently in French style.

@Robin-xr2tz Месяц назад

Sean you have such a great eye and vision for your finds!!!!

@carladejonge4951 Месяц назад

Wow! Great purchases today! The cottage floor is going to be wonderful!

@scifygallaura8122 Месяц назад

Your doing a great job

@Seans_World Месяц назад

Thanks

@scifygallaura8122 Месяц назад

Maybe you can use those beautiful windows in the upstairs

@dyannejohnson6184 Месяц назад

Well, well quite the puzzle…Sean you have done amazingly well with your patient unlocking the puzzle of the ancient build….thats how I felt for my 300 year old farm house on the 100 acres I bought in Ontario….part of Canadian history

@Seans_World Месяц назад

Nice

@cathyfield4765 Месяц назад

Great team work with Sam finding your sought-after furnishings.

@deannfausett3923 Месяц назад

Wow, really found some good things today at shop. I’m really looking forward to seeing this project when you get it finished.

@kathibrooks1401 Месяц назад

Thats a beautiful door. And Oak. !!! Good eye Sam

@janehoward1950 Месяц назад

Have to agree with All the other comments - this video was a Gem today - it's Amazing how upbeat one becomes when things/treasured finds come together. My favourite are those corner brackets - Perfect! The Church seat (my opinion) usage by front door shoes on/off - Oak Door - what a find! Building Materials ALSO what a find and unbelievably cheap 👏👏 - Great humour with the Signs for your Air BnB (maybe when you've finished the Cottage and your House) we'll see them hung up outside but until then - we can wait . As for the Joan of Arc - I'm only going to give a price of 1 Euro mainly because I wouldn't have bought it - Sorry - I find when it comes to pictures/ paintings everyone has their own preference. If you're happy with it - that's all that matters ❤

@susanthompson569 Месяц назад

Beautiful church seat! So useful, too!

@Anyone4music Месяц назад

That seat is called a Miséricorde/ mercy seat.

@Anyone4music Месяц назад

@normamurray4450 Месяц назад

You sure did well with your purchases Sean! Your cherry trees, oh my, if I lived closer I'd afraid I'd be snitching some! Good job with your purchases as well Sam!

@juliemix3373 Месяц назад

Sean, the cottage floor is going to be nice. I like the design you've come up with. I loved those metal corner brackets and the church chair are perfect for the cottage. The forest garden is such a cool idea. Cheers.

@sallyward5937 Месяц назад

Your filming and editing is getting better, Sean! Love you to bits! 😁🇺🇸

@lisajahn6839 Месяц назад

The brackets are beautiful! 😊

@anabelavandenheuvel480 Месяц назад

Very nice piece of furniture 👍

@acadacad1 Месяц назад

Those benches are in chapels of Convents and Monasteries. They attended many services a day and used the bump-out under the seat when standing, like you said.

@carolinestagg6807 Месяц назад

Your finds are so interesting and perfect for the Cottage !!

@mavep2855 Месяц назад

Wow! An oak door, great find Sam. The cottage and garden are really coming along. Thanks Sean. 🙏🍁🇨🇦

@sarahpenrose9681 Месяц назад

@pamkullman8839 Месяц назад

Great finds. Your “food forest” Is coming along too! I like this concept

@beaniecat1980 Месяц назад

Those were some great finds. The seat is very unique and would be perfect in the cottage. I like your natural way of gardening. I try to do the same thing.

@MickiConn-eo5or Месяц назад

What some great finds!

@peterwhite9261 Месяц назад

Wow, what beautiful finds for the cottage. I love the chair and cast iron corner fixings. Some did well. I will guess 5 euros for Joan of Arc.❤

@suehall3298 Месяц назад

Sam is a Gem finding your bargains the picture 20 Euros🍰☕🍰☕💐 Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤

@Harleyanne774 Месяц назад

Sean. Use some Coopers Oil on the church chair and it’ll shine like new.

@katherineleavitt7275 Месяц назад

@robinfereday6562 Месяц назад

18 euros for the picture very nice it is too👍

@ronmchugh7959 Месяц назад

Hi Sean. That's a Choir Stall seat that you have, I've seen very similar in Cathedrals, the designs follow on from centuries ago. It's a really nice find 👍

@lynnfranzoni993 Месяц назад

Those corners are perfect for the fireplace

@L1225O Месяц назад

@y.lelivelt2619 Месяц назад

I love the seat for the cottage. Also the iron corners you bought. For the painting I would not give a penny.

Love the purchase 😊

@TLMarzewski Месяц назад

So much lovely today! 😊

@HoneyTeaBiscuit Месяц назад

When I saw the corner pieces, I immediately thought of the same thing Sean. Place on the corners, at the base, of walls. Great when vacuuming so you don't bang out the corners. Great chair. Looking good. :)

@user-do6rm7tn3f Месяц назад

Sean those decorative brackets would look stunning around the fireplace. Great find. The wooden seat looks good too. I look forward to seeing what you do with it. As for that picture of Joan of Arc, well I wouldn't pay more than a tenner for it, sorry.

@user-mv1ov6bc1v Месяц назад

that is so great. Anything that has more than on use is fabulous. i love history pieces.

@juliebasford1976 Месяц назад

Great finds Sean and so in keeping with the age of the cottage well done Sam too.I'm loving how you think things through Sean and you never rush things , I'm a big believer that jobs evolve and change depending on the issues they present especially with old buildings , I think that's part of the fun of renovating but also that's when your skills kick in and your vast knowledge ...love it xx

@Carolbearce Месяц назад

The items you found for the cottage are amazing! Nice continued work on the floor of the cottage. I think the corners for the rocks at the bottom of the stairs is a great idea. I love the items that Sam found for you also.

@ST-eu7pj Месяц назад

what about sticking those willow branches around the cat cage? would make it more secure.

@viewfrommylensjane Месяц назад

Agree! Absolutely love it! I am getting an old chair that converts into a table similar. Old small are hard to find anyway, items you need to buy when you see them as they are getting harder to find even in Australia as retailers buy up and new generations throw away, I am building a tiny house but will buy what I Love, I must love it or need it and know where it is going as I have no storage.

@Robin-xr2tz Месяц назад

I had forgotten about the work that you did in the barn next door to reinforce the wall.
