Annalise needs a salon room at the chateau since she is there so often. It would also be useful for guest to get their hair styled.

@dazereigh Ай бұрын

Good idea, perhaps it could also be used for the masseur?

Maybe one day. For now they use your bedroom. ❤

Before there becomes a salon for the once a week hair stylist and masseur, I feel that Marie needs a professional kitchen.

I think you should photograph all of your plate settings and keep the pictures in a binder so you can make set up easier and anyone could help. BUT!! It also would be amazing to make a book to sell of “the place settings of Lalande.” You could insert all of those eye candy photographs, and include little history blurbs of some of the vintage China, flatware, etc. it would make a fabulous book!

I've thought how fun a book would be with a number of sections where for each section Philip starts with one constant - maybe a tablecloth or a China pattern - and then shows 3 completely different ways to design a table around it. He is so creative and talented.

I get to feeling very sad every time I see a critical/negative comment on one of these videos. What I then think about is the sheer delight and anticipation I feel every time a new video pops up in my feed - knowing I get a privileged, private ( but not so private - right!?) glimpse into a very, very special world that encompasses a beautiful, magical home - and can appreciate all the hard work it took to make it beautiful as Stephanie is bringing us along on this AMAZING journey, the friendships that have blossomed along the way , the warmth and laughter, an openess of spirit and heart we seldom see today. How lucky and how blessed we are to share in such joy. We get to meet the most incredible people - seeing some of the joys and heartaches along the way. A living, breathing history of one great life and all the lives Stephanie has touched in such a wonderful way. To know and appreciate that each video takes hours of labor to produce. Seeing the world through another's eye is such a special thing. Gratefulness and respect go a long way. Most people that criticize are usually that way towards themselves. Sad!

Next time just line a pot with aluminum pour hot water in, a few teaspoons of baking soda, put on stove and let simmer. Put in the silver for ten to twenty seconds depending on how tarnished the silver is, take out and wipe. So fast!! I did my mother's silverware cutlery set in less than an hour after being in hiding for over 35 years.

@tooem56 27 күн бұрын

@jenniferprecise342 Ай бұрын

Stephanie, I have a "life hack" for you and your silver. You can actually polish silver using toothpaste. I buy the most inexpensive toothpaste I can find, and apply it with an old toothbrush or soft cloth/rag. The tarnish comes off and the silver smells lovely like mint when you're done.

@kathleenclark5877 Ай бұрын

I do the same thing. It also works on gem stones as well, especially diamonds. They turn out especially sparkly. I guess we all want our teeth to look sparkly as well, don’t we?

I don't doubt that there are downtimes as with everyone but character is clear. I remember when Pavlina arrived -- she was stunned -- she walked into the kitchen and there you all were, just the same she'd always seen on youtube. And she stayed. Best wishes to all.

Wonderful! Everyone looked so nice with hair done and Annalise never lets anyone down she over does herself always. Marie learned so very much at cooking school. She truly has the decorative talent. But she has the eye for it as she does with the arranging of flowers. sort of goes together! The work is alot but it is worth it to see the lovely faces of the guests and know they appreciate it all, and they feel it is home to them as well. making themselves so comfortable and feeling they can relax, says it all. Stephanie you certainly not only worked up a storm but then looked so stunning in your lovely dress and the Pink High heels. Nati always looks so smart and organized and giving this feeling to all as it is going as it should. Amaury wants everything just so, in order for anyone to see his 'Ingenius project" Perfectionist at heart. Poor Philip taking his turn to have to travel without you. It is hard, when you get used to doing all together though, After my husband and I retired, it started to change in this way, and being alone would seem very strange indeed. Can understand that feeling,

I agree it'd be nice to see all that, but I have the feeling Marie is a bit anxious getting up to speed at the start of the season. She doesn't seem to be an innately confident person, and so she will need time to feel comfortable with the prepping, cooking, and clean up of all the meals. Marie is a treasure, and she is clearly very talented and creative, so it's nice to see her shining and enjoying herself, but asking her to film on days she's trying to get guest meals created might be too much for her, certainly right now.

I, of course, have lots of silver, now, too. And lots of napkins and linens to be ironed. But dear Stephanie! Please wear protective gloves while polishing!!

Worst part of polishing silver right before you need it: trying to get all that black tarnish stain off your fingers afterward. And I'm bad about not checking the silver until it's time to use it, so I'm always furiously scrubbing my fingers just before the guests arrive! My dream is to one day make a trip to France and visit all the wonderful people I watch every day on these vlogs. I'm sure there are many others like me watching!

You have so many business associates and friends that could help out as guest speakers. There is so much knowledge that u can share. The ‘ins and outs’ of it and the ‘ups and the downs’. You have certainly acquired a passion for it. You can share where to buy furniture & decor, advertising, renovation tips, menu planning, financing, social media presence, etc. You are being recognized in France for your contribution to restoring a part of their history. Your knowledge is invaluable. Keep up the good work!
