Gee, Phil, just because you moved out of that room didn't mean that Lightning did too! You do know that it is Lightning's chateau, he just lets you stay there to keep things up and open the dog food tins.

Lightening is the most adorable fluffsicle ever. I love his talking and expressive face.

I love it when your dog chats to you. What a character.

Lightening knows exactly what he's done.😉 His backtalking was adorable.

Love the idea of loving in and getting a feeling of a room before decorating. Lightening is quite the cheeky talker 😂😂😂

Smart plan with the bedroom. Move in and let it speak to you. The chateau is looking awesome.

It's all about Lightning today. I enjoy how he cuts his eyes at you when you are filming him. It's like he's saying, for crying out loud, give it a rest Phil.

I'm sure Lightening appreciates all the work you're doing for his new bedroom. :D

That room is a big task Phil. Getting rid of the extra furniture and moving back into it is a great idea to work out how you want it to feel.

Lightning is certainly a man’s best friend, I know he an older dog but it’s like having a cheeky teenager in the house,the way he keeps answering you back 😂😂. Take care,sweet dreams K🇬🇧❤️

Lightning needs his own channel, he is absolutely adorable 😍😍🥰🥰

Phil I have been watching you for a while now and to see you come out of a low time is inspirational. We all have those times and thank you to being honest about it. I think we all could tell something was going on and for you to be open to sharing a little of it which you didn’t have to do. To see you seem happy and moving forward is what inspires me so thiamine you for that. All the best to you Phil.

I love when Lightening talks, he is such a fluffy sweetheart! Good idea to use the bedroom and get a feel for it before you decide on decor. With company coming and personal plans, your motivation to get things done is high. As Billy would say, Crack on!🙏❤️

Good to hear you have come to fall back in love with chateau and inspired to carry on your dreams x

I have always found it interesting how having company coming to stay can be such a major motivator in getting things done! I think it is great you took the time to check out the other place. If nothing else, it has helped you know that it is NOT the right place for you. Well done, Phil, to being open to change and checking out options to help you make the best decisions for YOU!

Commenting to get you to 100, 000. Keep up the cheerful attitude.

Wow, I love your lifestyle, you are happy to work around your chateau, you have a big shaggy best friend, and you seem to have lots of great people around you. That’s why your vlog is growing. 🏰

Totally understand the Lightening Fluff! Have sooo sweet and it’s plain to see how you boys love each other!

I love how lightning talks to you and leaves little fluffballs behind for you. I hope you have fun deciding on a bedroom color.

That room is beautiful! The light in that room makes you feel alive.

Hi Phil, good decision to abandon the other house. It wasn’t you! Keep going on your beautiful chateau! Cheers 🍻

Man! When you clean up, you clean up fast! It’s looking great and it’s such a beautiful place!

great job cleaning up the rooms. They look so much better

Very delighted to see you happy. You are making great life and home choices. Keep up the good work.

Your Major cleanup looks Great!!! Very nice, large, bedroom, which you are thinking about using!

You live in such a beautiful place bird song and tranquility.

I love the afternoon light coming in. The room with be charming with whatever you decide.

I love the colours in the br carpet. Navy white silver gold. It would be interesting to see stripes instead of flowers. You wont need wardrobes if you have a dressingroom. Lots of interesting choices

Glad youre getting some social happy life and making your home happy too

Tu es tellement gentil et plein de courage que nous avons envie de t’aider, te regarder et commenter ! Quelques fois, il faut pousser la porte d’un autre lieu pour s’apercevoir que la maison dans laquelle on vit est serein, beau, diversifié et un petit paradis pour toi même si il faut être sur tous les fronts en même temps. Pour moi c’est idem , et j’aime les défis ! 😊😊

I highly recommend you get a stainless steel shred blade horse brush. They work wonders from the Husky under coat. I am from Alaska and have had a few different type of Husky's. They are such wonderful dogs especially if they have room to run.

I love the way Lightening talks! That is such a lovely bedroom - very good idea to live in it before decorating, your perspectives may well change as you said.

That blue rug in the bedroom is beautiful! Can’t wait to see how the light plays out with the colours you choose! Blue/white/gold would be masculine and classy.

Congrats on the 55 thousand plus subscribers!!! I love your channel and I see why so many others do as well. I also love the car show at your shop. You are just such an all around great guy as I see it. Happy cleaning and fixing up that large bedroom to your satisfaction. Enjoy your week. 🙂

I appreciate your thought process in planning your bedroom suite! The rooms will tell you what’s needed.

Your dog is adorable. Phil you chateau is a haven of tranquility. Somewhere in your future you will meet someone lovely and share the beautiful space with them.

Phil, I Love that you are cleaning up the Chateau. You can see the difference with your hard work. I think it's a good idea to change bedrooms and decorate for you! You can be more proud of your home when it doesn't feel like a dumping ground for all the miscellaneous projects, etc. Great job and thanks for sharing!💕

Love the way Lightening replies to you when you talk to him.

Poor Lighting being evicted from a comfortable room.

Lightening is hilarious! I’m so happy to see you enthusiastic again. Glad we can be here for you. The room is going to be gorgeous!

I love lightning he is so loving xx, you have the place looking amazing

Things are coming along nicely inside! Once you get all that squared away, it'll be easy peasy upkeep. Then, please try and get some friends and/or volunteers to come in and help with the grounds, and once THAT is all beautiful again, it too will be super easy to maintain. You shouldn't feel overwhelmed when you look at your home and grounds. 55k+ are all waiting to see that pride in your smile once again!

Your dog is handsome and has quite a personality.

I am impressed you actually have a plant alive ang growing in the bedroom...It's a sign of life that you have taken care of it! Awesome!

I love your dog. It is so fun to see your interactions with him. he’s so talkative!! You’re place is amazing and t’s fun to watch you develop it for yourself. Much Love from Canada ❤

Great to see you with a possitive mindset, you know what you want and your destined to achieve it. Less is best where furniture is concerned as you have to clean it for one and having a dressing room you won't need wardrobes in the bedroom. One more thing regarding natural light coming in the windows of your bedroom, check out which side the moon shines in the room on a full moon so you don't need heavy curtains drawn. Keep up the good work and stick to the colour blue variations. 💕🇦🇺

i believe in you phil do what you need to do plain and simple i have your back and i hope others do also i chose this u tube because i enjoy watching with you in your journey thank you

Love that talking dog!!

Paused at 13:13 to gently add that the colors of sunset will affect the colors in the room 🥰🥰 try swatches of colors that appeal to you, like a blanket over the foot of the bed and lay there, see how the light plays on colors 😊 ie the dark navy would sometimes take on a greenish hue in a bright sunset ❤ ahhhhhhh 😄 personally, I do very well with a sunset exposure, and I have one 🥰 very relaxing, glad you're doing this! 😁👍

I really like your dog's accent!

I just love your dog, I love how he talks back to you ❤

The light at that time of day is beautiful. I can see what you meant. My own big fluffy dog is attempting to fill my apartment with his fluff as we speak.

Great to see you're in a more positive frame of mind :)

Make that room lightnings room! A comfortable home by a nice body of water would be wonderful. Throwing a line in on a hot summers day. I think trying out different colors in the lighting of the room as well as furniture placements is a great idea. Keep going until it’s perfect for you!

I love your conversations with Lightening.

It's amazing how having visions coming spurs you on to start cleaning and putting things away. Looks great x

Love the positivity Phil. You can do it and I feel you will start to enjoy everything life is going to throw at you , again. Take care 🤗

One thing about the room, facing west, in the afternoon the room will be cooler. Enjoy

Love the room with the evening light…

Hi. In the bedroom, the lighter wood dresser the tv is on plus the “matching” wardrobe beside the mirror faced one - both look lovely in the varying light in which you were shooting. Enough variation in the wood to show golden highlights and darker grains.

Phil sounds like you need to create a mood board for your room design put all the colours and things on that first

Love the water too.. you have a beautiful home .. always great to see lighting ❤🎉😊

Phil, you do have a lovely home! And your garden looks beautiful with the spring flowers blooming! That bedroom is spectacular with the afternoon sunlight, nobody wants brilliant sunshine first thing in the morning!

I love Lightning. 🥰 I had a Border Collie with hair dropping everywhere so I used to vacuum her. If Lightning can stand it maybe give it a go as it gets their under coat cleaned as well. 👍

Awesome love your comments ❤️

Congrats on all the new subs! So glad you didn’t take time off because you pre-judged what would be boring. It was a real pleasure watching the tidy up! Great progress - and love the idea of experimenting with the furniture in the bedroom before investing in any permanent design decisions!

Looks like you ste going to be a busy bee Phil. Am sure you will cope ok ❤

I think that moving back in will allow you to see and feel the color scheme you want to be in everyday. Like I have said before change the drapery color that will also allow you to see a different level of comfort. Having friends over will also allow other peoples opinions to open up your eyes to some changes that you should of, could of, or would of be making in the future. Have fun and a great day Phil

Everything looks good is the pool room Lightings dog cave the fire place is beautiful ❤

It’s great to clear a room and start with a blank canvas. It also makes painting and cleaning much easier. Your accent is fantastic ❤

Your doggy has the best conversations!

Love watching your videos and how you are going to decorate your beautiful home. I couldn’t really see you living in that small property Phil, but as you say you need to keep an open mind in life. The work you need to do for your visitors seems to me insurmountable, but you will get it done I’m sure. Love watching your interaction with lightning, he’s a beautiful housemate. Thanks Phil,👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺

Phil for the bedroom that you are doing up ,don't go for a very dark colour as the room is dark in the morning and the room gets all the light in the evening , try a softer deep green or blue with either a warm cream or white to compliment the the other colour in the room .

Great idea of living in the room to feel it out. Years ago when I owned a bar I wasn't generally home evenings and not being an early riser darker mornings were perfect. Older now and home more I'm still a night owl and my favorite room has the same beautiful evening light, I call them my twilight hours. It's not my sewing studio because it's my favorite time of day to work in there. Totally agree with being near water, I think you're doing great things with your home and it is important to please yourself and be happy where you are. Keep at it!

Love your approach to planning your bedroom - trying pieces before choosing final design and final colors.

Wow Phil the rooms look good Hold tight. You are doing a great Job. Wish you all The happiness!😊

Phil, you have a lovely HOME. Dog and all. Love surrounds you both!

Furminator products really do work well to remove thick pet undercoats, especially in shedding season, and are made specific to the coat types of different animals (dogs, cats, horses). Bonus: our pets always seemed to enjoy being groomed with the appropriate Furminator.

Great idea trying out the room

I love your idea of moving in to the room, trying out different furniture and they deciding onthe colour scheme, it will save having to keep redoing things later on

Phil you need a Roomba - robot vacuum for the dog hair. It’s a lifesaver with our two furry dogs.

Great idea live with a room first,see what the feeling of it,then take it forward,i just decorated before then regretted it,

Congrats on your 55 plus thousand subscribers, if you think doing the whole room in a dark navy will make it too dark then do the headboard wall the dark colour, other walls white and add dark accessories, bedding chairs etc

Lightning is adorable when he talks back to you.

I think Lightening was framed. That was just circumstantial evidence really anyway (his fur in the bedroom). 😄 I was all ready for you to start hauling out big armoires Phil, I can't wait to see what furniture moves out and then in!

Love when Lightening “talks “ the you .. answers …: this breed is so vocal… I get a chuckle when they do talk or argue …🤣😂 😊❤

Hope you keep the mirrored wardrobe, lovely the way it reflects the light to other parts of room. Great work Phil!

Good luck choosing colors. I like that you seem motivated again to work on your chateau and look forward to watching your progress and choices.

Phil, the chateau is looking great, well done. Love listening to Lightning talk, it makes my day!

best wishes to you

What Lightening is telling you: I quite like the room the way it is you don’t have to change anything, you always be a handyman and this is a very important part of maintaining the chateau at a manageable level, eventually solve your love life and all will fit back together again and I‘m sure Lighting will have a lot to say about this😂

Thank you for showing your daily struggles with dog hair, etc. We have twelve dogs-all are rescues or rehomes-and a big house (that we bought for the land, but is) in need of more renovation. I have been struggling with dog hair, etc. each day and, at times, getting depressed about it. I do not have a KZfaq channel (at least not yet), but seeing your perseverance with daily chores is encouraging and renewed my sense of purpose. My advice is always stay strong and keep the faith. Today, your work reminded me that I needed the same advice. Please keep moving forward and sharing your story!

Love the silver colored wallpaper on the outside wall! I like your idea of silver and blue in the bedroom, as you mentioned in an earlier video. You might want to consider a white or gray color scheme for the upholstery and bedding to match Lighting's "dog glitter"! 😉

Everything is greening up nicely! We used to have a collie mix. We used to shave her down to the skin at the beginning of summer. It would grown back in just in time for the first snowfall. She loved it! No shedding all summer long! If the farm house didn't float your boat...it isn't right for you! Good to look at, but it didn't fit. A house should fit like a comfy well-washed sweatshirt. I like the blue panels of wallpaper, not the wallpaper itself, but the colors are nice. Keep plugging on. You're doing a great job on the cleaning! Come do my house if you get bored! Ok, maybe not. 😳

You really have figured out what’s important to you. We have always felt that “when you nest is in order, your life will come into order”. and it really works! So CRACK ON!

Phil look into a high-velocity hair dryer that groomer's use. There is a groomer from Niagara Fall, Ontario - Girl With The Dogs - 2 that uses it all the time to help in the shedding. She calls the shedding a FURNADO!

Looks beautiful 😍 ❤

What a georgous four legged friend you have. Looking good. Looking at new things and new ideas are positive, keeps one on there toes.

💕Bless lightning is telling you he wants his Own bed💕Totally true about living in one’s space/home to decide on suitable colours💕

I love how lichting talks back at you❤❤❤
