Good grief I am so impressed. A man who can sew, drill and loves to shop!!! What a guy

Dear Patrick and Stuart, you are a joy to me. You work well together too. Best wishes.

Ha ha gilding... go for it. Do what makes you happy. In a land of chocolate and vanilla... BE STRAWBERRY.

You put as much guilding as you want. Never too much guilding. Makes such a atmosphere.

Funny thing is Patrick, when you were carrying that beautiful trumo thing around, kind of like a purse on your shoulder, you could not tell it was heavy. You still have that swag in your step .☺ Stuart does an excellent job keeping the camera straight and steady as he pans around. Bravo on the curtains! Love them!

A grand lady needs jewelry . GiLding which I love is like jewelry ... ornate furnishings need a bit of dazzle. GILDING ACCENTUATES THE BEAUTY OF EVERYTHING. I KNOW IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL AND INCREDIBLY TASTEFUL ! I L9VED THE HOME YOU SOLD IN THE STATES. IT WAS ECCLECTIC AND MY TASTE RUNS IN THAT VEIN AS WELL.

Guild away gentlemen! There must be some grandeur in a chateau! Thank you for taking us window shopping. It’s fun seeing all the goodies when you are out shopping! Good luck with your winterizing project.❤️

I could use a handy man like yourself drilling making curtains wallpapering painting you’ve got many talents❤😢

Gentlemen, the copper pans, excellent. The 19th century Louis XV style chair, supèrbe 👌!!!

Patrick and Stuart, your place, your choice!!

The curtains are fabulous..The two of you made a magnificent team…❤

don’t apologise for decorating your own home in your own taste, to guild or not to guild….your choice……❤️ love you 2

the trumeau is so pretty and feminine looking! I would have dragged that thing all over a French brocante too! Guild away, it is your place and you are the ones who have to live with it! I can see it painted a pale pink..but that is me! 😀Thanks for another great video

You had me at "there were multiple brocantes." 😉 Thanks for taking me shopping. Lovely gifts from your parents, Patrick. The paintings are charming and the chair a diamond in the rough. Oh, and watching you sew with your Pfaff makes me want to dust off mine and get creative. Your curtains make a wonderful frame to that beautiful view. Great job! After you wrangle the summer fruit bounty, it looks like you've got a long list of winter projects in the que. Ahh, château life. Au revoir, à la prochaine.

Lovely as always. ❤ You can never have too much gold! Gild everything! Patrick, I am so impressed by your sewing skills. And you are so right, leave the electrical and plumbing to the professionals. There are some things even the most talented queens should never try. Looking forward to brocanting with you boys! ❤❤❤

Go for the gilding! Enjoy it…celebrate your lovely home…be yourself!❤️

Your just a joy the both of you are I love listening to you you such a lovely couple

I love toile! The drapes look fantastic. Great job. I love gilt! ♥️🇫🇷🏰

Gild tell your hearts content: your in France 🇫🇷. The trumeau is gorgeous! Hugs to you both!! 🤗 🤗

Oh worth it ...yes make it fit ...anywhere!!!! I agree!!!! In the grand salon is gorgeous. Oh guild the lily

Behind you those lights are just beautiful Patrick you hair colour is such a lovely blond wow

Meal prep? Done. Dishes? Done. New video to watch while I fold laundry? Thanks ya'll!

Guild away. Do not listen to others. This is your Chateau to decorate as you both want:)

I love all the antique China you put in the Gite. Very decorative !💖

Guys, love you meeting you on Wed. Everything you acquired is beautiful. Your parents are so thoughtful. Wish I had a man that cooks several course meals, fixes things and can use sewing machines and make pretty curtains and loves to laugh and loves dogs.. ooh la la. People look at you because you're handsome and striking. Both of you. Ohh chateau. Great show.

I also loved that turquoise glass chandelier at the 2nd brocante. That would’ve been mine

PS great find! Just an idea put some gold on first then paint and lightly sand off some of paint. The gold will show through but won’t overwhelm this stunning piece

Gild all you want! I’m sure it will look wonderful!

So much to look at! Lovely trumeau you carried with ease and the fabric! I think you've inspired my search for some soft green botanical toile for a shower curtain! Thanks

Watching you Sewing the Curtains Patrick, u have inspired me to get off my ... and get Cracking lol 🤩

La toile de jouy est toujours magnifique 😍 et le trumeau est superbe 🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great brocante finds and gifts! The trumeau is so gorgeous! And your toile de jouy curtains came out beautifully! And the etsy find was fabulous! Can't wait for next week!! Have a great week!

It is so good to see someone using the beautiful patterned fabrics for curtains. ❤

Hi Patty, hi Stu baby, I'm in the car listening will watch you when I get home with a glass of shiraz. Missed ya.

Can tell you guys are hard core antique hunters, we of your ilk understand the before dawn raids.

Beautifully sewn curtains love the Toile de Jouy material and love the quaint little lamps also. Nice find in the Trumeau

Gild your little hearts out! Can’t have too much.

I love your lamps but the picture at the back of them is just beautiful

Wonderful Brocante finds. Oh, just forget the time slot. I watch you both, plus many more. I love the couple at, "Our move to France". Give them a look, they are working hard. I try to support all of the English speaking French property buyers. I ADORE the fact that you all are reclaiming history. Hugs, and best wishes!

Gilt is expected in your situation. Another great video. Thanks, looking forward to the next.

Hi fellas, I love a great happy accidents. Matching the lamps and the material. Blessings in the little things! Patrick good work on the curtains. You two are creating a beautiful home. I'm especially excited to see the tattered chair begin a new life. God bless you and yours. Love, jenwhite 🥰 ❤ 💖

Thoughts of winter already! I guess it will be a big job trying to figure out the heating. Still it will be a jice change from Chicago Winter's and I will think of you fondly while in my Northern Ontario winter

Wow the weather has changed dramatically, autumn is almost here !!! Love the lamps in the ever changing background 😍 👌 ❤. Another great vlog,thanks guys.

love the curtains guys! Just a tip; when making curtains (hope you don't mind...) - each should be the width of the window so probably a double width to get them to hang properly. Of course they still look beautiful and if not drawn not a problem. Thankyou so much for the vlog again - great to see you so happy about your move 😁

a little bling never hurt any room nor object😆

Lucky find! I can’t wait to see it hanging in your exquisite château. 💗

Love the Toile de Joey curtains and lamp shades.

Gild everything! It’s a chateau after all xxx

Can’t believe it is getting cold there already after the hot weather you have had . I love all your purchases & I think you stand out in a crowd because you are both very handsome men . Keep safe , Covid has reared its ugly head here in Melbourne Australia , so look after yourselves . Love to you both , I so enjoy your videos . Julie ,Bobby & Annie Marree

Hi l Love The Pattern on the curtains would be nice if you lined them would make them a little bit thicker and if you have draughty windows keep the cold out I think Stephanie got wallpaper or curtains the same you did a great job thank you for sharing your blog💕💐🏰

Lovely work on the curtains, I’m so impressed. If this was my choice, I would be lining them, as ultra violet kills material patterns, this would help protect them. I love the look of the copper pots too, bringing home your spoils of the day is very exciting. Still lots of work yet to do but it’s all going to look marvellous. 🥰

Everything is better gilded…..😘

😂 laughed so hard when you showed how pitch black dark early it was when you left the chateau. Delightful fun and all of your gifts from your parents plus your purchases were wonderful.

Winter preparations, yes, very stressful, but you will do well. Love you both. Patrick you carried that Trumaux around like it was... yes, mine, all mine! Absolutely please do the gilding on it as it is screaming for it. The gifts your parents gave you are awesome. I know that chair will be very "swanky" as they say back home in Newfoundland. The fabric and the curtains are beautiful, as well as the lamp shades. Ooh la la! So glad you both had another lovely week, hope they keep coming. Thanks both for sharing and for the chuckles. Cheers to you both.

Love the fabric and little lamps and shades. I one says yes to guilding, a chateau needs a little guilding and sparkly chandeliers. The trumo was a fab fined. Glad youve had another great week and hope your electric supply is increased. Xxxx

Love the trumeau! Good choice. Oh and: Do not guild. 🤣

OH! You need to guild in the Chateau, it would be beautiful!! Love the Toile de Jouy and what a wonderful find with the lamp shades!! Looking forward to your next video.

Too gild or not to gild, that is the question!! LOL. Whatever you two fab guys decide to do is just fine with me!! And, I love your brocante adventures!!! 🇺🇲

Gild away , I say! !! I think I will have to come shopping with you ..... you didn't get enough treasures haha. Curtains look great .

I think guilding belongs in a chateau and that tremeau should be beautiful

Gorgeous toile curtains, great job! The trumeau is gorgeous!! Gild where you want, you have a very nice plan for where & what you'll gild, and it's your chateau!!

Gorgeous Louis XVI style trumeau, congratulations!!!!

I love gilt !!!!

Omg Lemmon looking VW!! LOTS OF NICE💓 THINGS BUT ALIT OF JUNKY FLEA MARKET STUFF. That white. FRAME IS BEAUTIFUL!! U can guild that and it's lovely!!💖

Love your curtains also you could have bought that tatty chair at the brocante and covered it in the same material as the curtains it would have looked lovely in your gite

I always watch you both with a smile your a pleasure to watch. Love the curtains and lamps . Patrick that was funny carrying your purchase on your shoulder making you even taller still .Lovely gifts from your parents too. 💕Xxxx.

Love the purchases! Gild away…. You have got great taste, so whatever you do will work brilliantly. Love from Sydney. 🇿🇦🎶🍾

Great minds think alike and fools seldom differ! LOL

I can't Wait to see the curtains up with the two adorable lamps in the room too. What ever you do in the grand salon will be lovely. I'm feeling envy of the cold weather. It is sweltering in Louisiana!

No wonder you get looks Patrick,carrying the Trumeau on your shoulder,like a feather,it’s so gorgeous ,you can never have enough gold in a Chateau 👌Your sewing skills are great Patrick👍 Thank you for the Brocant & outdoor market shopping 👌it look so bleak & cold 🥶 love the chair you found ,who will be reupholstering it ! Take care 🥰

Morning Patrick & Stuart, after 2 and half hours, we are back on internet, darn these outages!!! I was just enjoying your video when blank went the screen. Oh well, my darling son is such a genius with the computer he set it all back right where I had to leave, I just exclaimed oh, oh, oh so I can just carry on. Those lamps decorated with the same fabric as you have, is that now not co-incidental or what?? I love when doing a project and everything comes together, it is such a blessing. The curtains are hanging beautifully, and I bet the chutney tasted great, when it is well cooked we can enjoy is sort of the same day, it is just for the flavours to develop. I baked a fruit Christmas cake, my husband pestered me until that cake was sliced, and then it was all over, each day we had slices and slices can't remember if I baked a second one. I do remember threatening him the years after, do no ask and do not touch. The fact is so much preparation and expense goes into the making of Festive treats, that's the only reason we hang on to it for a bit longer. Glad of you good finds at the brocante, the early bird catches the worm, so just plan and go for it. It sounds to me like you fellows are now settled in and taking each day making the best of it. Yes there are many trials and tribulations in life, but keep to yourself most of the time and avoid trouble. It is possible. Can't wait for the next video to see what is happening. Just remember wherever water is near a town the atmosphere is badly effected, it does become colder, take the good with the bad. Do take care, be alert kind regards.

You guys walked past a fainting couch, and I screamed at the screen, “stop!” so loud my cats jumped awake! Though the small child’s room upstairs might only fit one bed, a small fainting couch might fit by the window and you could actually accommodate two children, maybe three if they are small. I know you aren’t even close to doing anything with that room yet…..but I can’t help having visions for it!

Hello beautiful people 💕

I love you guys! Enough said..........Cheers

It's YOUR home. If you want gilding, then by all means gild. Not everything has to be historically and geographically accurate in my opinion. Your home should reflect your personalities. I live in a log home and I tried the rustic/mountain decor at first but it just wasn't me. My home now reflects my eccentricities. 😉 Love the curtains and lampshades! 😘

To me it’s your home gild away! Love watching you both have a beautiful day😁

Is there an end to your talents Patrick? Making beautiful curtains now your resume must be endless, but I guess having a chateau you have to master nearly all trades. Your doing great, love the vlogs and the banter, sending hugs

Material destiny yeh !!! They are so cute.

I have to agree with you with the gold sometimes to much is really to much..And I wouldn’t worry to much what we think your the ones who have to live there..Chocolate and Vanilla so funny..

Thank you Stuart and Patrick for taking me along the brocantes.

Please consider stripping the trumeau to reveal the crispness of its carved detail blurred by the its paint before its new finish is applied. Love that you bought the beautifully carved white covered chair from the brocant you visited with your parents. Its a keeper.

You two are delightful & Happy you are sharing this grand adventure 👍🏻 I vote for Gilding all the way! Cheers 🥂

Can you share your chutney recipe? No end to your talents, so good to see the joy. the curtains are lovely.

Hi loving your videos I found you from escape to the dream restoring the chateau

YES GILD! It's a must if you own a chateau! I always say trust the process because the outcome may blow your mind! You both have great taste, nothing could go wrong! 😁 So far so good IMO! OMG I need to get better so I can come to France and brocante with you both! I love what you purchased and I see stuff I would want to buy as well. We could stare at people together LOL 🤣🤣 Glad you had another good week! 🥰

The curtains are beautiful! Nice job. Paint what you want, guild what you want…YOU live there. ❤

Would love shopping with you 🎉

Ran a b&b for many years in Australia, guests really appreciated comfy club like chairs to lounge in at the end of the day. (Food for thought)

Love the toile…Talented pair that you are! We can’t wait to click on your vlogs, you both laugh so much😘

Hi there, so sorry I missed your premiere, but I do have my internet sorted out now. Love the trumeau, can't wait to see it in situ, and that chair is gorgeous, I have a similar project waiting to be done, hope you are both well and see you soon xx

I really enjoy watching your videos. You are both so lovely and your love of life and the pleasure you take in restoring your chateau comes across. It's infectious 🥰

Stuart, when you held the vacuum up as Patrick drilled holes, you became my favorite chateau owner! 😂 Watching restoration shows is not good for my compulsive cleaning anxiety.

I love your channel and people who don’t like it should buy their own chateau so they can do what they like. You do you.

To guild or not to guild ....... the choice is yours. It is your home after all

That fire surround is just what I am looking for I must come to France in the summertime and go to some broconte

Fun brocanting!

Great job guys! Ask Tony and Jane about fireplace maintenance. I watched one of their vlogs where they had some of theirs done. Good luck!

Nice 👍😎

I enjoy you shopping adventures. I see some good stuff. I can hardly wait to see what you do with all of your new purchases.

Beautiful window treatment! You two are so talented! What luck to find lamps with matching patterned shades. Much appreciation for all you share with us and big hugs as well!
