Stephanie: " this house is so minimalist....something we should do more of at Lalande" then promptly spends the afternoon shopping for MORE things 😂

i love how all you chateau owners spend time together

I just love Stephanie, just makes me smile watching her joy with Lancelot.

I found the lovely Anna & Philip through watching chateau diaries. I like both chateau designer styles as they reflect their different personalities and design aesthetics in their styles. What an enjoyable trip away!

They loved the minimalist chateau and then went searching for more stuff for their own home!

When the music started mid way through I thought Dan was going to step into view🤣🤣

One of the wonderful things about old decorating books is if you look at the styles used in the books and still like it now you know that it is timeless.

I am always on board for shopping 🛒. I just wished we had the kind of places that they have to shop. I am so jealous 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

Love both chateaux and the couples - very different styles, but both GORGEOUS homes! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love Philip and Anna such fun people

The terracotta bust of the young girl/woman looks very like the death mask of a young girl/woman who drowned in the Seine in Paris in about 1880. The pathologist at the Paris morgue was so captivated by her beauty and sense of serenity and peace that he made a wax model/death mask .it turns out the pathologist wasn’t the only person captivated by her beauty and many people started to request a copy of the mask and kept it in their homes. When Peter Safar and Amundsen Laerdal were creating the first aid mannequin “Resusci Anne” they chose the Seine woman’s death mask as the face of the mannequin. As many thousands of these CPR mannequins have been made and used over the years the “L’Inconnue de la Seine” or “unknown woman of the Seine” has been dubbed the “most kissed woman in the world”.

Its funny how much Stephanie sounds like her mother when she greets her dog.

You most likely have beautiful fabrics in the attic that you could cover a lamp shade with and it’s free & more rewarding.

I love those bunnies you bought for the girls. A couple of those lamp shades were so nice, it would be worth buying them to find a lamp to fit them. I wonder what a dog wanting to sit on your head all the time means? Maybe he is claiming Stephanie as being his.

I found you, Steph, through watching Anna and Philipp’s Channel. In lockdown. So mega thanks to them! So lovely to see you all together. Yes… minimalist versus more is more! Love ‘em both! ❤

I loved that first lampshade so much.

Make your own lampshades - they’re easy and it opens a whole new realm of possibilities

I loved the shade with the red piping and the big palm and water scene. Gorgeous with the lamp base. I could not have left it there.

The first lampshade you tried was gorgeous

That was a fun trip and I really enjoyed seeing both shops; especially the ones with such unique lampshades. I’m glad you all scored some nice finds!

I think Stephanie must have not had a dog before. They will always remember you, and not want you to go away. I loved the first shade (round one) you put on the lamp. I agree with Phillip that it looked great. Hope you find one you like just as much.

Anna and Phillip have a beautiful Chateau 💙 !!. I love their sense of colour 💚. What a lovely couple🥰 !! So glad you had a great time and thanks for taking a few thousand of your besties [us] along with you .❤XX. .Loved it !!

Thanks for taking us with you..we love Philip and Anna, too.❤

I can't see either you or Philip going for minimalist 🤔🤭. I tried when we moved but there are just too many beautiful things, so it didn't last long and now we are surrounded by interesting items to look at😊. Another great vlog thank you.

You can buy the Lampshades in Limoges to.There is a Lamp shop close to the Halles .🎉

Honfluer is just magical!!! I was so lucky to spend a few nights with Anna & Philipp when they were still having guests.

I loved how Lancelot was so happy seeing both Stephanie and Philip❤❤❤..Normandy is such a picturesque place💝..and yes to be back in one's own bed is like heaven..💝

Love seeing Anna and Phillip ❤❤❤❤❤

I always love shopping videos especially antique and thrifting ❤❤❤

Love you had a bit of time with Anna,Phillip, and the girls. All the Rabbit's were fun. So sweet to see Lancelot excitement when you both return.

I am pretty sure Lancelot missed you!😂 Anna and Phillip are such good hosts. Anna has amazing creative talent. The brocante was interesting. Time to prepare for Easter. Will you do an Easter egg hunt this year?❤

I love both chateaux -- each one is so full of personality.

The lampshades were beautiful. I’d buy the shades and then find bases.

Love how your dog greets you. You can feel the much love and attention he gets because he is so happy. ❤ The lampshades were beautiful in that store. Thanks for taking us. ❤❤❤

Hilarious, Lancelot making a 'rats nest' of your hair, and only YOUR hair. 😂

Hi,I think the first one round shade 14.04 with the maroon trim and green bushes and sea scene works best.❤

THAT should be title of your book project at LaLande, 'Maximalism to the Max'! 😅 Please, never go minimalist... the brocantes would protest, surely! TY for taking us on your adventures!💓✌️

Lancelot seeing you is a joy!!!❤❤❤

My favourite chateau couple, Anna & Philip 💞 she is so bubbly & happy🫶🏻. Always love your brocanting💞

Stephanie and Philip I had those lampshades in the 60’s , bought by ex hubby ! I was pleased to get rid of them but even more pleased to get rid of him, the lampshades had a tad more style than him ! But no they were equal ! Out of place in Lalande !!!!!

Lamp shades are so beautiful

The OG château channel deserves more subscribers... Château Diaries, and its cast of characters, are icons.😊

I'm sure you can ask the artist of the lampshades to make one in the right size with the forest scene.

Nice trip! Anna and Phillips Chateau is really lovely. I absolutely loved the little bunnies with the adorable clothes that you gave the girls. I am a huge bunny fan, they were my very first pet. My Papa (Grandfather) gave me a pair of twin baby black bunnies when I was 3 or 4 years old. I don't know what breed they were, but I loved them. Until very recently I had an adorable little black and white hot tot and lions-head mixed breed bunny named 'Peekaboo'. Sadly he died not long ago, and I miss him so much. I absolutely love animals and I got a big kick out seeing Lancelot so excited to see you both. It was so cute to watch him so exuberantly happy that he was jumping on top of Stephanie's head. Great video guys, thanks.

That town...all those little boats...no people. So peaceful. Just want to be there, in the drizzle, under an awning, sipping tea at a Cafe. ❤😊

I had a most beautiful lampshade made via Etsy using the same fabric print (William Morris) from Eliza’s bedroom in My Fair Lady (Audrey Hepburn) for a really decent price! Whatever size you need!

How To Renovate A Chateau : without killing your partner ……. is a fun channel ….. Phillip is Hilarious …… Anna is such a wonderful artist ….. so glad you all got together for a much needed visit

Stephanie, I love your new hairstyle: Coupe Lancelot 😂😂

Stephanie & Philip how do I begin to express my gratitude to you for taking us all, myself in particular, EVERYWHERE you travel! When I was a young woman I dreamt of traveling in Britain and Europe, in particular, but also world wide. I studied two languages ( French form 1st grade for 8 years, and two years of Spanish). I would have studied more languages if it had been possible. My life did not move forward with my dreams. My family life whilst growing up was fraught with upheaval so I sought a safe harbor and my dreams took a back seat. Now, decades later, I may only see glimpses of the places I would have loved to visit, but it is a precious gift of which the significance for me cannot be measured. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for ALL your hard work! Filming everywhere, editing and everything else involved it brings my frustrated heart such JOY! Immeasurable JOY! 💕👏🌷

Lancelot loves you so much ! He is touching, such a nice doggie, he makes me think about the Beatles s song (changing in « he loves you yeah yeah...) »😅 ❤ ❤❤

The base of the shade should cover the metal on the lamp. that is how you shade a lamp.

I think it’s just different styles. I prefer Anna and Philips style as I couldn’t live with the clutter style that Stephanie likes. But it’s all down to personal taste.

🎉😊Nice to see you both out about and exploring.

You should go to Felletin, they have so many beautiful antiques shops and an amazing market. It’s only 1h away from Lalande.

Isn`t it great that there`s enough room in the world for both maximalist and minimalists? There is somethimg for everyone!

I love the Maxamilism at LaLande, too much is just right. I love the color in that editing spot, looks like the color I picked for my bathroom. It is such a wow! Honfleur s a beautiful place Their house is so stunning. Great lampshades. Great books. Nice little getaway!

Made me laugh. “ Not in a brown mood “. Loved your vlog @ Anna&Phillip’s.. watched your first visit three years ago. To recap. So supportive of 2:12 each other. Both such talented households, and unique. Keep happy. Love from Pacific Northwest 🇨🇦

REALLY ENJOY, going out with u to shop and roam about.❤ Thank u for sharing your day❤ From, Illinois, U S.A😘

I have a bottle of the same Calvados on my shelf from our last trip to Normandy! Small world.

Ok the music at brocante a lil Wham a lil Hall n Oats was on point...80's girl

Absolutely lovely, once again! That little Lancelot...what a gem!

Haha, just comparing Stephanie's doubts about getting a dog a few months back with the Stephanie at the and of this vlog.

You left us hanging on the lampshade, was there one at LaLande that works? I have never been in a shop with such glorious lampshades! Marvelous!

I bet you could ask the lamp shade artist to make the perfect lampshade with the etching of Lalande - you know the one with the lost towers....

Wow! France has the best brocantes!!

Please don't change your style of decorating, it suits Lalande and is in keeping with the house, if it was all plain walls and furniture it wouldn't have the same charm.

Great music playing in background at the first antique shop 🎶

I love when the dog gets on top of your head. It is so funny. You are so childlike in your play just like a happy child.

I love your brochante and antique shopping. And I like how Lancelot is showing his joy about you returning. And what is astonishing, he obviously doesn't bark that much!

Can wait . Love waiting both these Channels .

The shops, village and buildings all add to the beauty of the area. The restraint from Phillip while shopping is admirable.

I LOVED ALL the Lamp Shades😊❤

Hi gang, let's see what happening at Lalandé today. I need some shines on a busy day❤

I so enjoy the daily videos! Thank you for taking all the time to make them and to do the editing bc so very appreciative. Thanks for taking us along bc so loved the shopping and beautiful quaint Honfleur.

All of the Chateau's decorate differently and thats what makes them all so amazing to see.Normandy is another beautiful city.Thank you for sharing

Those lamp shades in the antique shop are stunning.

I always find that lampshades look best when the shade and base are the same shape... ✨🌞✨

What a welcome home coming. I love the joy. Thanks for sharing. WCL

The oriental red and gold lamp is beautiful for your desk! Lovely adventure shopping in France, thanks for sharing,

At 9.43 I thought Dan had just walked in!!!😂 That was oh so his music!🤣

Lancelot is so cute, makes me laugh 😊. Thank you so much for taking us along !❤

Now Stephanie, I love the fun and exciting maximum decor is what makes Lalande special. As nice as their chateau is nothing is as lovely as Lalande❤ please do not second guess your choices😊

Anna and Phillip have a stunning home!

Wonderful video, maximalist is the word, I love large armiores, and everything that goes with them. The beautiful glass vase, everything that shines, glows, lights up. Gold 😊, wonderful brocanting. Thank you for sharing.

Hi and love this ! THANK You ❤😊

Beautiful trip. Normandy is incredible.

That last shop, I wanted everything!❤

You lokk beautiful Stephanie!

❤Warm Greetings to all from Tampa FL

I love your music.

Keep the maximalist look at the chateau please! I love it!

Three comments... 1. I LOVE your earrings. For some reason I look for just the right moment when you brush your hair back or turn your head, stop my computer and take a photo. Once again same question...does Phillip "style" you? You've always had great taste in knowing what suits you, is comfortable, colorful and stylish.AND what you wear seems to fit the background of where you are. Deliberate? 2. I did write this before...I inherited a complete set of what you call the "cockerel" dishes with the words "St. Clement" on the back. You showed an identical one on camera at a shop you were visiting on your way home. At my sister's urging I tested them for lead and the liquid came out DARK BROWN which meant they were loaded with lead. Please be careful of using them for food. 3. I loved your complaint that you felt you could never do anything imaginative with scarves. You have been my inspiration. I have bought two from Ardmore-one you were gifted and wore at a Christmas party. I loved you in the scarf so much I bought one for myself. But, I've never worn it because I just didn't know what to do with it. The other was silk, (brown and black with cheetahs) and it didn't flow and was scratchy. So, my friend washed it with something, not sure what and steamed it dry and now it's soft and flowy. NO! I have not worn that either. Actually, my husband is handicapped and we are housebound. One day this summer I will wear them, we will sit on our deck, drink wine and I will feel very French.

Love the playlist going on in the background. Great cooking music

On the lampshades, I have to agree with Stephanie. Love the contrast of shape and design... however I'm sure whatever you end up choosing will be perfect for the space intended 🥰 xx

The head perch is hilarious.

A way to keep Lancelot inside, is find a Fire Spark resisting Screen, to fit in the doorway, could be tapestry, Lace , or Wire screening

That was a blessing in disguise!

❤Stephanie was right with the square shape lamp the second one on the base ❤

A bit of Daniel Prestonesque music creeping in there😊 A&P's home is so perfectly decorated. It's a dream to visit Honfleur...

What a beautiful town. 🦋
