People are so rude and opinionated. It’s not their house you paint what you want and what you like and I’m glad you brought that up and showed them that things go out of style and come back in.

I love to hear something funny to an American. Marc says “I love this door but it’s not old, just 18th century”. Hahaha.

Amy, please tell Juliette that the stickers were a hit. She placed them so lovingly on your cheeks. Perfectly balanced. She's a perfectionist! The doors are going up and soon you will have a cozy home. I bet you can't wait to move in. The lock looks beautiful on the door. I would assume that it will keep out anything. Do the children ever disappear into the bowels of the chateau? I think I would have challenged my parents in doing so. Great adventure.

Marc - You now have “Locksmith” to add to your credentials - Well Done!

As far as paint colors I think you should throw what’s in fashion out the door. Use colors you like and what is in keeping with your home. You only have to please yourselves. Love that door lock! So interesting watching the process! ❤

😊who cares what" fashion" is. Paint it what YOU like and be happy! Your place is looking great!😊

Dear Marc and Amy, you are both the best in so many ways. Great job on the beautiful lock and door Mark. I’m in love with everything old in your chateau and coach house, but with the addition of 21st century things for function and comfort. Love your channels. And yes, styles come and go but this is your home, your labor, your style so do what you love and what makes you happy. Many hugs xx

I believe Marc this is your château and and cottage! NOT the opinionated people with nasty comments. The door looks beautiful. Lovely colors looks gorgeous! Love video Marc and Amy thank you

I like the interior doors and the 'new' lock for the front door. I think the patina is far more attractive than black paint. Well done!

Wonderful family showing how to push through ups & downs with great character & obvious love.

Perfect example of how simple sounding jobs take much longer than expected. 😉

I started to laugh when Marc thought that the dark grey was too dark. Then the look on your face said it all and the reply of no comment.😂😂 You two crack me up. The place is coming together really nicely.😊

I like the two-toned paint on the door. The lock and old door are pretty cool. Clement and Juliette are growing so fast.❤

What a lovely memory to catch Juliette decorating Mummy with stickers. The rustic door and lock are lovely. Keep the key out of reach of the children till they are older. Stain or paint whatever you like it is your home.

Love the banter between you two, especially when Amy says, "No comment "! 😄

Marc you are a clever man and a “Jack off all Trades”. Your painting of the door was good with a few touch ups like you said and it will be perfect and I actually like the colours of the door and walls as they are. Well done to Amy for her sanding off of the rust from that very old door. Good job guys. Keep up the great work. I really always enjoy your varied videos, thank you both for all the effort you put into filming them for us.

So many people, so many opinions. You do you (and you do it well as far as I'm concerned)!

The Chronicles of Chateau de Rosieres, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!

Fashion comes and goes, paint what ever colour you like. You’re living with it. 😊

It will be gratifying to see the results of all your hard work on a daily basis when you move in and can take pride in knowing you did it yourselves. What a transformation!

When you go out, are you going to put that key in your back pocket???😮😂

I do like the door. And the lock is a triumph!

I found this so interesting! Love the locks, paint and historical architectural elements! I lived in a house built in 1600s and loved opening the old latches and locks. I can imagine you enjoying these little details that are used daily. History in your hands!

I love the doors and the locks with keys! 👍🏻

A truly interesting lock, well installed, and enormous fun to enjoy Marc/Mark’s wry and friendly comments.

Love your doors Marc and Amy you look super glamorous with the stickers on your face, of course Marc wasn’t going to tell you, what a bad lad 😂😂 Much love K🇬🇧❤️❤️

My father and my daughter used to have sticker w@rs.❤️😂🤣 It was hilarious. Once he was at the Dr a week or two after we had visited and the Dr asked if the sticker on his back was marking something that the Dr needed to look at! 🤣😂🤣😂

Fashion repeats itself. The lock is crazy. Good job mounting it.

🇨🇦👋 Brilliant 17th Century Restoration 🇫🇷🏰

Great lock choice Marc, all the hard work paid off, it looks fantastic! Juliette, great work sneaking those stickers onto mama's cheeks! That was a great giggle!

Marc fixing the lock was amazingly good. And entertaining.

I so love that you’re restoring the old doors. And that wooden lock! Ignore the naysayers- you’re doing an amazing job ❤

Love your choice’s for the home. 🏠. Your home and you are kind enough to share your journey with us. Thank you. Deborah. North Carolina 😊😊❤❤

Nice work on that door and lock. And great to see the kids 'helping'.

Well done Mark. Love the door and lock😊

I agree, following paint color fashions is a waste of time - go with what you like!!! If you find out that it happens to be in fashion at the moment, it just becomes one of the renovation stories. 🙂♥️ Good job on the door and the lock! ♥️👏 I had a similar issue with my back storm door, having to search for a lock that would work on an older style door, patch the old hole, etc. But I didn’t have to patch or drill stone, and my key isn’t nearly that cool! On the other hand, my place isn’t nearly that old (only 102), and there are absolutely no locks that old in this part of the US. 😉

Great way to restore a lock on the old door. Such a neat way to reclaim the old keys. 🥰🥰🐓

"no comment"😂😅 I find choosing paint colors so difficult...best thing about paint is it's easy to change 🎨❤

that lock is quite interesting, Marc! nice find!

Marc is so talented. It’s a joy to watch.

I love your opening sequence! It's both old-timey and original! Your chateau has come so far with all your hard work! Bravo!

Great job Marc. Love the door and lock.

Great job Marc!

I love that you all do what you need to and want to. Keep it up!

Bravo on the lock Marc! I love your witty humor about the naysayers. Haha!

Love this family!

I love the old green door!!! Just strip it and the henges and put oil on it and it will look gorgeous!

Marc, I really like how the inside door turned out, it has a country cottage look. The old outside door looks really good also with the old lock, just make sure the kids don't lose the key as you'll never find another one. Lol..lol..Kathy USA 🇺🇸

That door and lock are gorgeous! I love that key. I’m amazed you think to pick up items for future use! The ultimate recycling!

Thankyou for the vlog, a joy as always.

Just an idea try putting clear wax on the wood work then buffing it up so it looks naturally older a bit more shabby chic. Paint finishes are a lot of hard work but really done well last for many years to come. It also changes the depth of the colours. Easy for me to say with my many years of experience. Love the old locks ❤

Love Juliette’s stickers on your cheeks Amy! Marc, the door and especially the lock are perfect. ❤

I think you guys are fantastic parents and builders.Look at all you have accomplished 👏👏 … wow 🤩 you both are living your life how you want to….and doing it magnificent ❣️😘 So interesting 🤔 to see how you use old things, and make it beautiful!! I love to watch you👏👏❤️🙏🙏

Marc is quite the Renaissance Man. Well done!

I feel very privileged that you share your journey with us. I absolutely adore you both! You could paint the walls anything you'd like and I'd approve. I enjoy it all. I wish you much success!

Mark is getting great at videos!

What a great vlog i am not biased lol but i adore all of you ❤❤❤😊

Hi, I have been following your journey from early days & think you are a beautiful family with a vision. The renovation of your home is definitely a feat with kids and all. I feel the paint colours should be what flatters the natural stone work not what is fashionable. This is not a modern home. I do feel that grey is a little cool and some warmer colours would be more harmonious. Don’t need so many different colours and busy detail on doors etc. Let the stone be the hero of the room with the other accents like the mural. LESS is more. By the time you furnish & add all those details you don’t want everything to compete with each other. It makes a more tranquil space and keeps the look unified. No need for any nasty comments. We all support your channel and want to see you succeed. Love from Australia.

Great to see you all. Missed yous!! Lots of love chez in Lliria Valencia Spain 😘😘😘😘😘

Amazing work to restore your door latch! You found the perfect one - well done Mark! 👏👏

Well done Marc the lock looks great , it's so lovely that you are using original pieces x

Great job! ✨🌞✨

Loving your videos. Really interesting. Thank you. The lock is fantastic. Very beautiful and looks perfect on the door. The room is really taking shape.

I think you have the best introduction to your chateau, it makes me smile❤❤❤❤

Great work with the door and everything else in your chateau. Im amazed how you carefully connect the right nuts to the 🚪 😂

Marc is very right and you should do your home as you choose as you are the one's who will live with it so fashion has not much to do with it. It's the time spent and enjoyment and memories that mean more. The doors are beautiful Marc well done leave them on :) I am sorry the other door was so hard to remove whatever it was. You did well on the lock mechanism well done you :)

the doors look great there in keeping with the room

As always, amazing skill! You both deserve to be the owners of such a fine property!

That was really interesting, how you fix that old door, and must have been quite satisfying that it worked perfectly. COOL!

One doesn't realize how much work goes into a lock set. The repurposed lock looks great!

Another step closer, and love the lock 🤗

Wonderful work done! Everything is beautiful! I read the comments and see so much love and appreciation. If there are a few rude or nasty people I think it is safe to completely ignore them! Amy, I noticed the stickers right away and was so curious what the shiny spot on your face was. I laughed so hard when you remembered that you had been stickered! I just love your family. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

The lock is beautiful. I love the key. You need a big purse or deep pocket keys to store it. I lived in a turn of the century building as a child. We had keys like that for the attic, front door, cellar. It was a huge key ring. Mark is such a creative, knowledgeable and handy man. Are you going to put weather stripping around the door to close the gaps?

how do you know what you know? Brilliant work. I'm so impressed.

I love your attitude about what's "in fashion". 😊

Showing how you fit the lock was pretty cool.

I really like the two tone door paint finish - I guess you just have to be sure it goes with how you want to do the rest of the room...which is your creative vision .. and personally I would love the door you put the lock on without paint, burnished old chestnut would be gorgeous, but I don't know what's possible with that 😊 the old lock is lovely ! What a wonderful property you have !

To help with the ‘bleeding’ under the tape, do a quick coat of the base colour after you’ve taped and then do the dark colour after it’s dried.

My eyes were LOCKED to this episode. Great work and expertise!

You have quite an assortment of historic locks 👍

Marc, you have endless talents! The construction is so different from where I live as the access to materials is different. We have clay, sand, and water here in the US Midwest. Wood, iron, and anything but sandstone is lacking and has to be transported quite a way. How fun it must be to be able to go outside and find materials in the garden!

I love the into music and old time Pics

Love your choice of lock yes it looks good with the door, and that key is so big you cant lose it 😂😂😂😂😂

Marc you have made the lock look like it has always been a part of the door 🤩👏👏

The doors look nice. Love that front door.

Love watching your two channels! Very informative as well as entertaining.

I knew exactly where you were coming from with the renovator tool, the vibrations are intense aren’t they 😱

I was unaware you had a channel separate from your garden (which I love). I am a new and very happy subscriber. Thank you and good luck, DA

That door and that lock! Amazing.

Can you get Frog tape in France. Since i changed to using that instead of masking tape it makes painting much easier, seals better so you don't get bleed underneath. They do several types including one for new paint.❤

The locks of today wouldn’t last as long as the one you are using now good job

Mark, nothing against the choice you made for the lock, it looks great. I do wonder though if there is a somewhat local locksmith that could make a key for the lock without. Seems a shame not to use it. At one point I wondered about the gap at the door edge but when you closed it at the last it looked nice and tight. Well done. Looks great.

Great job with the lock, Marc! I always wonder how you know how to do everything!

Congratulations on the lovely lock install 🎉🎉🎉

Great job on the door and lock 😍😘

Love the wooden lock. Good mason job - for a beginner. You did some similar in the greenhouse, that already impressed me. 👋

What a beautiful old door!

Good job Marc!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love how it's all coming together it's beautiful it's going to be stunning when you finish

Wonderful video as always!😍
