I am somehow comforted by Michael saying, "I’ll look after them."

You two Petherick boys are so conscious of history. It's really important to save history.

The young lady from How To Renovate a Chateau (KZfaq) makes her own wall paper and has a degree in design. She may be able to help you with the designs on the paper. She lives in France with her family, is very sweet. Can't hurt to ask her for some help.

A conservation room is an excellent idea!

What a team! And what an undertaking! So fortunate to have Billy and Michael keeping the history of this fabulous Convent.🥰

The wallpaper discussion is riveting to me 😮😊😮

Conservation of the wallpapers is a wonderful project and will give the convent rooms some antique charm.😊

Can you imagine having weddings in the chapel with someone playing that incredible organ.

Michael has such a vast range of knowledge. Please show him playing the organ more often. Happy to see Ryan back ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

As an artist, I really enjoyed this exchange between, Michael and Billy. There just isn't enough appreciation of the old art and craft works in the world. So much of what we take for granted in our modern world, such as rolls of wallpapers, ceramic tiles or even the simple pencil are creations of a bygone age that we utilise in some form or other today.

My goodness those papers are absolutely stunning. How fortunate we are that they were 'under cover' all these decades, and that Billy & Michael are so careful and respectful in handling them. Any museum conservator would love to see them in person. (If possible, keep that room pitch dark.) They will add immeasurable richness to the restoration.

Aww Michael that song was played at my dad's funeral 6 weeks ago you just made me cry , you played it beautiful thank-you x

If these patterns are no longer copyrighted perhaps they could be incorporated into a convent business offering the patterns as a custom order in varying color-ways. I could even imagine a fabric collection.

The talent in this family is amazing… love your channel ❤

Billy and Michael - your parents must be so proud of you two. Amazing what you can accomplish..

Such a knowledgeable family, there's nothing that phases you.😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

1thank you Michael for the wonderful tutorial on the wallpaper. I completely agree that a conservation room is needed. This way you won't have to take anything off site and perhaps subject it to inclement weather etc You'll be able to teach others some or all of what you've learned to preserve history.

Please, let Michael play that piece in full some day, it's so beautiful

Exciting wallpaper developments! One day, you can toast with the beautiful wine fridge. Happy 80th Birthday, Papa Mick! Cheers from California, Becky

The wallpaper designs would look great as fabrics.

Remarkable. So glad Michael is keen to get them right. I can see your library, upper gallery filling up already. What an inspired idea that library was.

How wonderful that someone put this in a hidden place…down through the ages, these samples survived to be seen and reproduced for their beauty!!! How really exciting!!!❤❤

Oh Michael! You made my eyes leak when you played the organ. That hymn was my late mother's favorite & she requested that it be played at her funeral. It's also one of my favorites. Hopefully, one day you will take the time to play the whole piece. Thank you for playing for us today even if just for a little while. I look forward to seeing what can be done reproducing the wallpapers.

Your brother is an all around talented man.

Michael that organ music was wonderful. Need to hear more.

That wallpaper will be beautiful in some of the rooms in the convent.

Michael can do anything! so well. A true artist.

Don’t stop playing. I haven’t heard that particular song in a very long time. Loved it.

All the wallpaper is stunning, but that last brown one would look amazing digitalized and recolored a soft yellow with the gold accents. Definitely be on a chateau bedroom wall for sure.

I wish to see collaboration of Michael and Anna from How to renovate a chateau make/restore wall paper.Talented people

I love it when Michael plays the organ! Reminds me of when my grandma played her organ!

That large floral would look amazing in the library...I commend you and Michael for what you do saving history 👏👏👏

💕Once finished you could even sell the rolls of wallpaper to help fund your Convent & Chateau projects💕Or change the colours to make different coloured rolls of paper💕

Always love to hear it when Michael gets to play the organ!

I’m so glad Ryan is with you!!!

Would you like to put in the kitchen a couple of cafe tables that you can enjoyed with your team a glass of wine after a long week of work

It was so nice to hear the organ again!

Idea-start the process of removing and rescuing the paper samples off the wood with the wallpaper example that is the largest-in case you find out Plan A doesn’t work as well as you hoped. Sorry if this is a “Duh” suggestion-and it probably is as you do know what you’re doing!

The top blue old wallpaper is my favorite, and I’m so excited to see you guys replicate it and preserve it! It would be really cool to replicate it and then wallpaper each bedroom that you restore at the convent with it!! 😊❤

I understood the preservation techniques that Michael was discussing very well because I had just finished watching several videos on the subject of conserving very badly damaged old painting. I look forward to seeing Billy in his new 'conservation room' and the results applied to various walls.

Lovely hearing Michael playing the organ. Thank you!

Morning chaps….another informative clip..enjoy the weekend….kiwi Nz

What a great Idea Billy, Michael could do a class - conservation is a life long learning experience and they could learn from him and he in turn might learn from them. They could do trips together to artisan places to learn even more. Not that your brother isn't busy enough with his cottage, green house, Chateau Kitchen, Decorating Chateau Bedrooms for guests, sealing the Terrace and making preparations for the Chapel Ceiling.. He might have time to teach a class or two if Mortimer behaves and doesn't have Michael in with the cows lol You are all so talented and a pleasure to watch!

I thought it was the dishwasher..but this is much better

Cannot wait to see the conservation process💖 “Kinda-sorta” like the organ rebuild but different. I guess I’ll find it equally as fascinating. I’ve said it before, but I really enjoy seeing both the convent and the chateau. Crack On!

Michael is such a gifted and talented young man. I would love to see more of his videos. I really miss watching his videos and would love to see how his cottage has turned out and all.

I like the paper above the frieze. The scattered flowers are wonderful.

You are very focused. I know you will make your home a lovely and comfortable place to live. Bravo!

You didn’t find this convent Billy, it found you! It was waiting for someone who would respect it, and its history.

It’s so exciting to think in the future the convent owners will be able to trace all the work you’ve carried out. Even to wall papers that were there long before the Pethericks began their mission to rescue the building. Wonderful. ❤❤👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

Michael shied away, but Billy had a great idea. A large room in the convent built for Michael to teach others how to conserve the old wallpapers. Michael has a lot of knowledge he can share - he needs to share! - with others to help perpetuate the conservation of historic things. Many people want to do it but don’t know how to go about it and Michael is a wealth of information on many different historical topics. You are a very interesting person, Michael, and others would be lucky to learn from you.

Call in Julian Baumgartner!!!

Thank you for playing that hymn on the organ. I’ve been singing it a lot lately. It was a wonderful touch for me.

Sending the love from Liverpool England,to the pethericks family,and the hardworking team 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

Feels like Michael probably watched Baumgartner's restauration channel (he works with paintings most of the time but washi kozo is one of his favorite tool top preserve old paintings and Michael perfectly described his restauration process). Those patterns are incredible so I am glad you try to save and conserve them.

You know I think it's awesome every time I see Michael playing the organ... It keeps the beautiful organ alive to be played from time to time... I look forward to seeing the wallpapers getting reproduced... I rather like some of them... they are quite lovely.

Happy Friday Billy 🙋‍♀️ & crew 😊

Michaels facts about the wallpaper are fascinating you are all so knowledgeable what an awesome family you are, loved hearing Michael play the organ ❤

I wonder if the paper was put on so you couldn't see behind the cracks in the wood. If people were hiding, it would make the space more concealed.

As a complete history nerd, I enjoy hearing, seeing & learning through these vlogs. What a treat it would be to tour the convent and then take in a workshop hosted there. Don't panic, Michael... we'd go easy on you, 'cuz you're such a neat guy 😁

Those old papers are amazing. I hope you can get reproductions of them all and put them in different rooms. I also hope you restore the bits and put them in the library display cases. I also think it would be absolutely fabulous for you to have a 'restoration' workshop with possibly more than one room and invite in artisans who do restoration work on other antiques as well. As for the antique wall papers, once you get a recreation going, there might be people who would be interested in buying samples or even enough to do full rooms. Those papers in the convent are fabulous!

Michael, The man of many talents!

Some wallpaper manufacturers keep original or historical designs for reprint, zuber says they've been saving since 1790.

The question is though, why did they wall paper the hidden room? Was there a purpose for it? ❤🐨

Two young knowledgeable guys in conversation, a pleasure to listen to.

Ya'll are doing a great job! You're my favorite channel.

I'm an archival conservator by training, and used to work or the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador. I've been retired for a number of years now, but boy, would I love to get my hands on those papers! Looking forward to watching Michael's progress with them.

Hi Billy And Michael. So excited to see the Wall papers coming to Life, they are Fabulous! Go Michael, you have tremendous talent! 🎉🩵🩷💐⭐️

I think the wallpapers would be best in the chateau but it’s wonderful to have them wherever they will live again.

I can definitely recommend asking Julian at Baumgartner Fine Arts (he’s got a youtube channel, which others have probably mentioned, fabulous conservator) if you have any questions about methods for cleaning/saving that wallpaper. He’s always more than willing to answer questions and advise about the best ways to conserve things.

Michael you are fantastic. So talented! ❤❤❤

All of them are beautiful in their own way I hope all can be preserved and prints made aside from wallpapers. You could reproduce them as cards and sell them or prints sure enough people will buy including myself possibly depending on how they come out. Michael is so clever like you Billy can do anything you set your minds to all of you Pethericks are genius levels. So kind of you to do all of it most others might not. Who knows if you figured out where it comes from and manage to reproduce them as wallpapers it might come back on trend. All of them would look beautiful in your chateau rooms or convent guest rooms or WC :) Have a lovely weekend and glad you are taking a bit of a break after so much hard work on the library and chateau. 👌👌😍😍👏👏

Michael amazes me all the time. He's so smart and creative. Will love to see the wallpaper reproduced.

Have you considered contacting historical restorers that might know if those patterns might exist elsewhere? Maybe someone has samples of them already and could be re-printed? 🤔

Beautiful wallpapers and such an interesting episode today.

Great to see you both again love to see the spark ignite in Micheal re the wallpaper and Billy you are a great brother ❤

Micheal and Billy love watching the progress in your homes and the Convent. I await seeing the process of conserving these papers. Well needed.

Just love to hear Michael play the organ, see soothing. Michael is in his element, he’s so knowledgeable !!

For the wallpaper resto try Photoshop generative fill instead. Just snap a photo of each paper and crop it then do generative fill

It's finally Friday & after a hard week working at convent & chateau, it maybe time for a cold 🍺👍🏻😜...... Hello 👋🏻 from Southern California 🌴

Happy to see you. ❤being waiting for you guys. 🎉

I have added the picture of the organ in the convent into a frame Michael and it is so nice to look at

I always look forward to your videos! I love when we get a glimpse of Michael, since he is the first Pethericks I met. Crack on!

Looks almost like William Morrison's wallpaper. Once you digitize the paper I hope you make it available to purchase the digis. These would be perfect for some of my art projects.

Thanks for doing all this to keep the vintage wallpapers alive for the future to see.

Michael has so much to do! Conserving the historical wallpaper, finishing the terrace grouting, painting the chateau kitchen, painting the chapel ceiling, the greenhouse frame and glass. Whew! As always, love your channel!

So proud of you two for preserving this part of the Chateau history! Those wallpapers are stunning and to see them come alive again through your hard work will be so exciting to see. The amount of passion that goes into everything you do is just brilliant. Thank you for taking us along on the journey! ❤

Don't you have those rolls of paper on shelves in the room that the hidden room was? As brothers I don't think I've seen two that work so well together. ❤

The wall papers are absolutely gorgeous! I’m so happy that you will be saving each piece and remaking them. Saving history, fabulous! I trust you Michael.

The framed wallpaper samples will go well in your library gallery maybe?

It was lovely seeing the brothers spending this time together and explaining the floor plans, seeing the old wallpaper and Michael talking about their history. He will take care of them was nice to hear. Just love this whole family.

Hello Billy & Michael, it's one thing to find this old wallpaper, but certainly another to re-produce it - well done for conserving it, and to be used in the convent!! Well done. Best wishes from Lincolnshire.

Beautiful wallpapers so pleased you are keeping them thanks for sharing ❤

The organ sounds awesome!!! So beautiful ...

Perhaps digitally scan the wallpaper and have copies and fabrics made?

To ensure proper ventilation why don't you leave the trim off the bottom? It looks great with a wonderful floor you put down

Michael and Billy, it is a joy to watch you both work together in restoring your magnificent Chateau and the Convent … your work ethic is second to none and i am sure your family is proud of both of you … there is no end to your talent and dedication … i wish i was able to see it with my own eyes however Australia is so far away i will keep watching your videos…with much respect, Sandi 🌳🌹🌹🌹🌳

I love old wallpaper it has so much richness to it I glad your preserving it

Billy and Michael, so wonderful how the pair you at your age are so interested in preserving these said wallpapers. Wonderful!!

Absolutely fascinating! Thank you Michael!!!!
