Patrick and Stuart journey into the world of Toile de Jouy. Learn about the history of Toile de Jouy printed textiles, and their visit to the Musée de la Toile de Jouy in Jouy-en-Josas, France. Stuart also shares some of his own original toile designs as well as showing you how they were made.
Join Patrick and Stuart on their journey to find a neglected, forgotten, or crumbling château in France, and then continue to follow them as they work on its restoration, rénovation, decoration, and furnishing. Along the way, they will also create and share videos on their preparation for having gîtes for guests, and an event venue in their chateau (wedding, birthday, anniversary, organization or club meetings, retreats, etc.).

The toile is so amazing, the Indian weavers are so talented, and the rug weavers from all that side of the world, the Afghani's yet the toile of the British was amazing. with the correct colours and designs, it would be over the top especially the hunting scenes.

@@patrickjourneytothechateau8243 Me again and off the present topic, but in reference to earlier videos of yours : if you have an interest in 18th century architectural theory and chateau design and layout (like myself as a book collector) and can read some French, you might enjoy looking through some of the most influencial architecture treatises of the times, which feature many plates with floorplans and elevations, interior decoration such as panelling and mantelpiece design, etc : - Architecture moderne ou l'art de bien bâtir pour toutes sortes de personnes, attributed to Charles Etienne Briseux ( 1728), with a main focus on building techniques, terms of reference, dealing with contractors... - De la distribution des maisons de plaisance et de la décoration des édifices en général, by Jacques-Francois Blondel ( 1737), more decoration oriented with some plates on garden design - L'art de bâtir des maisons de campagne , by Charles-Etienne Briseux ( 1743 ). Definitely 'rococo' or 'rocaille' design Those books are classics and their original éditions can be read online, with all their plates, especially on Google Books (I can send you the links if necessary).

@@francoisleyrat8659 well thank you so much! That is amazing! I found all the manuscripts/books. I had no idea that was possible. We got two books for Christmas for ourselves. Small Manor Houses and Farmsteads in France by Harold Donaldson Eberlein from 1926 And The Smaller Houses and Gardens of Versailles 1680 to 1815 by Leigh French, Jr. and Eberlein. Also 1926. We sat in front of the fire and were reading and enjoying the photos. There is really a lack of books and materials about the smaller chateaux from 1600 to 1799. We saw some rooms while touring properties that we so interesting but cannot find resource materials to contemplate how to renovate it appropriately. It’s such an amazing field. Can’t thank you enough. Well, once we are settled, you can always come for a visit. My French is a work in progress. I had French for 7 years in school…… then came the 25 years of me no using it.

Hi Mariya. Thank you so much. We both love Toile with all its possibilities. Classic and more modern. 😍 There is a bit of a dark side to British colonial rule in India. Not only the embargo from France and other countries that banned Indian fabrics but to protect the English cotton mills, there was a terrible movement to destroy many looms and break the fingers of the weavers. We decided not to include that……. Hope you don’t have horrible temperatures. It’s way too cold for our dogs. Always such a pleasure to read your comments. Hugs

Brilliant video. Thank you. I would like to think that the garden layout at the museum represents the strips of cloth drying in the sunshine.

Have you heard of Stephanie Jarvis? She is on KZfaq. She has many examples of Toile.

@patrickjourneytothechateau8243 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Pamela. Yes, we watch Stephanie since we found her channel every week. She and a few other chateau vlogs helped us through the pandemic and kept our dream alive. Like her, we both love Toile for a long time. In my case, 40 years..... Good grief. 🤣🤣🤣 I am very mature I guess. Thank you for the suggestion. Always very much appreciated! And I agree, she has some absolutely wonderful Toiles.

Stuart from one artist to another. Well done! Classic natural beauty. Detailed in simplicity and grace. Please let us know where we can see your designs. I am a fan of your art style. I would love to see more. If you had a desire for a side hustle of a yt drawing channel you could absolutely succeed at it. I watch them here and there and your skill and flare would draw an audience if you wanted it. Am I reaching to think we might see some of your designs on future furniture re-upholstery or fabrics in your home?

@JourneytotheChateau 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! I like the idea of a YT channel just for my drawing/art. I hadn't even thought of that, but honestly there are just not enough hours in the day for everything we have going on right now. I will continue to do more of capturing the progress of creating my art, as it mainly will be for our future chateau decor. 😀

Your comment is just plain wonderful. Thank you. So kind and supportive. I am searching for print shops that can do quality cotton and mixed fabric prints but also wallpaper in France and Germany for our future projects. Upholstery and curtains is on the list of projects we want to start when we are in France.

Love your peacock and floral toiles in your zazzle shop. I can think of lots of uses for toile covered carnets: restoration log, entertaining record, maintenance log, and the lists go on.
