The joy and fun of these people is definitely infectious. It was only a matter of time for Dan to succumb.

OMG !! 😂😂😂😂😂🙏😂🤣

He’s totally loving it!

Makes good entertainment

Exactly !😂😂😂

@rene’e jacobs . Love the portrait in black and white!♥️

It was captivating and beautiful. ❤

I bet Annalisse would get a good laugh from it. 🤣

Annalise to Dan: "YOU get all the fun, Dan!"

Selmar is like Snow White, all the animals are drawn to his calm demeanor and like to be around him. I also think he might be the one that feeds them all 🤣

I was laughing so much at the china discussion 😂

She works so hard,amazing.

@@hopewalker5764 🌻Stephanie enjoyed herself in the old days before Patreon kicked in. She's the same spectacular woman. 💲Those funds pay 4 employee salaries now & property projects only. She doesn't take a dime for herself. 📺 Perhaps you need to check out her earlier vlogs as proof of her positive demeanor. ☮Peace 💛Love 🌼Beauty

I think that too! I’m living vicariously through her these days!

@@hopewalker5764 I'm not suggesting Stephanie was ever poor. She grew up with a decent standard of living & had an outstanding education. Clearly, her parents were hard-working. Her mummy's work ethic in the garden and commitment to her daughter's dream speaks well of her fine character. Her parents obviously made sacrifices as well as some great investments in their time. They instilled strong & decent values in their daughter too. It makes no sense to begrudge the woman for how she was raised or any advantage it gave her. She is a credit to her legacy. In the end, I believe her to be a woman of integrity. If you do not, perhaps you need to move on. Life is too short to resent someone for their wealth or anything else for that matter. She did not steal anyone else's blessing. If you are faithful to your calling in life, you will be blessed too. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

@@daphnereloaded3480 I slightly resent ,others saying people that work hard ,will be well off. Many people work hard in their job,but never get anywhere in life,it’s merely existing.

Teresa Carle 🙏👍🏼 Your words are PERFECT ! Thank you for them 🥰

STUNNING

💋Mummy was tres magnifique in her boudoir portrait! How lovely that such a gifted📷photographer beautifully captured both mother & daughter in the same centuries old ⚜Chateau corridor!

@@teresacarle294 Bravo !!!🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Yes,loved that one!

😂

Very well said!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

🙏👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Well said

True that!

💡Perfect idea! Although they could probably finesse some petite lamps or even regular under-cabinet lights for it too. Those beautiful dishes deserve a bit of pomp & ceremony. The mirror would only add to the sparkle😉. ~~~~~~~~~~ 🤔 I do worry about the integrity of those self-adhesive strips Phillip mentioned to hang those small plates as art (esp. if they are valuable to Stephanie). 😣Even after following weight limit instructions on package, we experienced adhesive fail. Several frames dropped off our walls all on their own within a few months. 💲Had to go to extra expense of replacing the broken glass in all of them🤣. 🍽 For plates, used this paper-clip hook tutorial a while back & haven't lost one yet. Plus, the hot glue does not harm plate. It can be removed later w/o damaging it. (We did reinforce the hot glue again 2 yrs later👍.) inmyownstyle.com/how-to-make-a-plate-hanger.html

That would be a bit tacky.

lights would make it look more elegant if thats even possible

I was thinking of ones like a spotlight to show what's inside the cabinet more than a strip light, like these: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YWP512F/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=xomacenna-20&linkId=7ae33e4484e122d3f383baaf2439032d&language=en_US

🦄Well said.🌈

Hahaha :)

Shopping for China at home😜😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

One of the best ”stephanisms” ever! 😂

👍😄😷

🛑 You insult those marble chargers with your reference😂. Although I do agree that mauve pink was very trendy in those halcyon days😉. As amusing as Kat, Phillip & you yourself are on the subject -- I side with 🌻Stephanie on this issue. While she hasn't found the right pairing something will come to her attention one day that will look perfect with them. Meanwhile, there is plenty of space to store them. 🐞🖤🐞

They are old and should be together. Coronatime is terrible.

Yes, it's almost obnoxious that the countries cannot work something out in these situations while hundreds of thousands go through AMERICAN Wal .arts daily and no ones blinks an eye

I feel ya. I've been looking at eBay too. I'd love some plates similar to Stephanie's, but I have no space for them. I keep looking anyway. I figure looking is free. But I did spend to much money on mum flowers this year. I have never done that before. It is really cheerful looking outside when I eat or do dishes now

I broke my travel mug, last Saturday. So I googled travel mugs. And found a beautiful Spode one! Should be here tomorrow! Can’t wait!

Me too!

Yes she is !👑

I think I am the same age also can you tell me how old she is?

@@regineruiz3847 I think she is about 72...i did hear in one of the videos....it may have been her interview vlog.

🎉Agree. Gravel looks great! All the courtyard 🌱garden beds need edging to define them -- whether or not that is cement, stone or another material. It will help keep the gravel out of the beds in the long run too. Priority #1 is proper drainage dug in a channel (filled with stone) around interior perimeter of new beds to prevent that💧rain water💦 pooling right against the Chateau any more.

Really 😂😂😂! Corona makes the people crazy.

Where's the fun in that!!!🤣🤣😂 x Sheena

Dishaholic....hehehe,me too

Indeed 💙

Nadine Tasmania, Tasmania!! How exotic!!

🍽 Also possess a wild dish obsession that I came by quite naturally. Just 💕love beautiful platters, plates, bowls & goblets in a variety of patterns & styles. My parents enjoyed switching it up for meal times too -- & not just for holidays. Nowadays, I still largely stick to the💧D/W💦safe variety. Of course, that is no reason to scrimp on style! Always found gingerly👋hand-washing delicate dishes to be hazardous to my peace of mind😨. BTW, if you're single (or a couple) who loads that large kitchen appliance over the course of 2-3 days (to save on water💧usage), you must own more than a set of four of everything anyway. 💥So, begone minimalists😈. Used to be in awe of SIL filling it to capacity daily, sometimes running multiple loads, but that what's happen when you cook for 4! 😞 Always felt guilty hoarding my parents & grandparents huge collection in addition to my own, but it brings me such positive memories. Love my two vintage sets of bone China. One from my fraternal grandma in white with delicate silver details around the rim, another in bold cranberry & white floral pattern from my mother. 🤔 It doesn't feel quite so decadent if you actually use what you own, but it makes me happy to gaze at it too. Frankly, I don't know enough ppl to have a big dinner party, but that doesn't mean a smaller trio can't enjoy them! No excuse not to set a pretty tablescape for yourself or a guest. Life is to be celebrated 🥂. 📺That's why it is such a vicarious pleasure to 👀watch the ⚜Chateau Diaries. Enjoy the bustle of cooking for a hungry hoard. 😍Stephanie's great appreciation of lovely things & dining in spectacular style is soul satisfying!
