Room looks great. My son was walking by when you couldn't think of "pole" he giggled and said "she sounds like you".

Just beautiful. I have been following chateau renovations on youtube and you are the only chateau owners who style their rooms by combining period pieces with modern. Your style choices result in an amazing fusion of the two - one enhancing the other. Thank you for sharing these beautifully finished rooms with us. It's an absolute delight to follow your progress and to see the stunning results. I don't live in a chateau or plan to but I really appreciate how you plan and design your beautiful home. Wishing you all the best in 2023!

Agree.. There a lot of people out there overpaying various brocantes for terrible old tat that looks like stuff my Aunty Doreen ditched in 1970. Just because something is old doesnt necessarily make it beautiful or practical in the modern world. I laugh at all the men cooing over manky old copper pans that they're never really going to cook in, or polish 😄

There are chateau owners that want to make a business out of the chateau keeping the interior design and decor the closest possible to the time the chateau was built and it really works. Europeans and people from all over the world like to get marry and stay in a chateau that is restored with antiques. Chateau Lalande is one of them. The chatelaine Stephanie and her team has done a great work making of Chateau Lalande a prosperous business.

Making the bed is my cat’s favorite game too

Poor Lincoln the man never stops even in the lashings of rain he can't catch a break

I’m glad to see a lot of people struggle with paint color. I thought it was just me. Thank you!

I love your style! The mix of New England and antique is perfect in my estimation.

For me, the cats are the highlight of your videos and give me a great deal of joy. ❤️

How wonderful you are to Mimi. An inherited cat that now lives indoors.

We love Mimi, she's become a lap cat :)

The new guest bedroom is beautiful. It’s so elegant. The leak at the window with the faulty keystone could have a temporary solution if you add a shield of sorts just below the bottom of the stone to divert the water . Amanda, you and Lincoln have great taste.

You guys certainly have the eye for beautifully curated interiors. Love the mix of period and very contemporary pieces! 😊

Love the room aesthetic, I get a real town and country vibe. Love the stripes and the lighting choice! ❤️

Guest room looks great! Love your videos but I’m so impressed by your love, care and concern for your animals! Thank you❤

The way you decorated was literally just chef's kiss!!! So great! So you can decorate and cook!!! Damn it!!!

Seen for the Umpteenth time with Delight. Amanda Lincoln What a wise decision to have bought this fabulous Property. And share with all who become addicted.There is not a thing to change about even the slightest detail. All is Perfect. Thank you both and your lovely happy animals. Your daughters are wise to keep their Liberty.

You both are quite the power couple being so driven, hard-working, intelligent, kindhearted, talented and fun to “hang” with! May God bless you and your family with good health and happiness always! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

The sofa is perfect for the room. Perhaps what it needs is a small side table next to the fireplace? The room might also benefit from a large floor rug to tie the room together. The bed is wonderful! It is a lovely room, made all the more exquisite by the presence of the cat. I applaud your devoted love of the creatures in your care. Beautifully done.

The Black would have looked great with the black poster bed, and true the armour did't fit in, but the grey paint works beautifully matching the fireplace perfectly. Great job guys, love it

The guest room is lovely,i especially love the marble coffee table, in my opinion,I would put a rug underneath,to give the room a more cosy feel , I think the couch is a perfect size,love stripe fabric in any shape or form!👌

You blend old and modern beautifully. I agree with the sentiments here in that you have the best taste of any of the Chateau channels. I hope it grows❤

Good video! The guest room is very nice. Can't wait to see the finished bathroom. Glad Mimi is doing ok, despite the setback. Sorry to see the flooding in the basement and leaking in the guest room. Just adds more things that have to be done. But you still have a wonderful home and you are making progress with the renovations. Happy New Year!

Creative use of colours and mix of decor. You’re an interior decorator as well as a chef, photographer, videographer etc.

That terrible guest room has been transformed. I’m surprised you got them to leave. Beautiful, cozy, inviting, and above all, tastefully decorated. Wow, just wow! Your husband is so very talented, love the moulding.. So happy you changed the moulding color, it’s beautiful! The bed works so well and the armoire is lovely.

Oh thank you!

The bedroom is beautiful! Also, I grew up around horses and burros. It's funny but they won't go into shelter during bad weather. Another funny thing is, in our case, the burros would go into canyons during windy blizzards but the horses would not. It's not so windy in the bottom of a canyon. In more recent years, we had a horse who joined the herd. That particular horse will go into a barn during particularly bad weather and other horses tend to follow. But, in the end, they all tend to stand there, outside, with their backside towards the wind, and suffer through it. That's what they've been doing for hundreds of thousands of years. If you have a blizzard, I'd do everything I can to get them out of the wind.

@@OurFrenchChateau Honestly, I would not worry about it if I were you. Burros are smart - at least compared to horses (and perhaps a few people). But, here is a suggestion: you could find a feed they particularly like. In the part of the world I live in, we have something that is called cotton seed cake. It's candy for burros and horses (and cattle). Develop a call for your donkeys or get a horn or bell or something you could train them with - like Pavlov's dog. Yell out your donkey call and give them their donkey candy in their shelter. Maybe they'll stay there in bad weather. Burros are herbivores and herd animals. They like to be in the open where it is easier for them to watch for predators. The only thing you really need to watch for is prolonged blowing snow. The snow can build up around their noses (like stucco) and suffocate them. I don't see France having too many blizzards like that. Anyway, love your program and your chateau. It's not too plain, not too over-the-top, nicely distanced away from cities and highways, and is just right. You and your family are doing it a great service.

Stunning transformation. I love every single thing you both did. The armoire is huge. So beautiful. The guest room looks like a beautifully appointed luxury hotel. The plate on the mantle is very interesting with the head of cherub? Not sure because it is sticking its tongue out.

I love the stripy sofa The whole room is beautiful 😍 Thank you 🤗🌷🌷🌷

Love your selections of decor… colors .. furniture.. and accessories 🥰 Ugh… leaks… now to fix! 😊❤

Happy New Year. I grew up in an old farm house with terrible windows. The rain never stayed out, and in the winter " Jack Frost," was on the inside of the windows.

Guest room looks charming with your modernist slant. As i saw your flooded basement I might suggest an electric sump pump that automatically come on when the water table rises. I have no experience with donkeys, perhaps a cold shower was enjoyable? Happy New Year!

Your guest bedroom is beautiful. Great job.

Good for me to see you search for a simple word. It’s obvious that you’ve been under a lot of stress, and that’s why that happens. As I’ve had the same problem. It’s normal I’m sure. Love your show, and your colours and decorating style.

I love your love for cats! Warms my heart!

I love the new guestroom. Your color selection was excellent. I loved the white plate with the angel face that you placed on top of the fireplace. I absolutely loved that. I also really liked the fireplace inserts and the personal touches of the pictures. The picture of your donkey made me smile. Here is my thought process on the sofa. I would leave that one there and not get anything bigger. The Jewel of the room is that fireplace and I think a bigger sofa would steal some of its thunder. When you walk into the room you want your eyes to go to the fireplace not the big leather sofa, that’s just my opinion, I never saw an armoire with mirrors on the front and I absolutely love that too. You and Lincoln did a beautiful job. I would also like to add that I’m glad you took your time panning around the room so we could really absorb everything you did.

The guest room turned out beautiful! Love the colour. I had painted an antique dresser the same colour as your night stands, I added a dark wax finish. Poor Mimi ❤. I hope she heals quickly, will be cancer free and live her life in chateau luxury! ❤️

Love the ❤accessories on the fireplace mantle! The plate with the face is great! The new colors are perfect. Wonderful, cozy finished room! Good job.

You and Lincoln did such a wonderful job on the guest room, it looks calm and restful. Oh no, leaking and on all your new painting too, how dispiriting. Poor Mimi, I can sympathise, as I have just finished 7 weeks of radiation therapy for Breast Cancer on the Dec 19th and oooo the radiation burns to my poor boob. I look like I have some kind of 16th-century medieval disease!! Those donkeys make me laugh, they are such characters. Happy New Year to you Lincoln and the girls.

yes that is lovely ...just remember that black is quite polarising as an interior color in a large area .. well done

As a Portuguese citizen married to an American and living in Texas, I hope we can one day follow in your footsteps. I have always been drawn to French items when thrifting. I love the charm, the beauty and culture. My high school French will need some brushing up on though. I really enjoyed watching this video and have subscribed and look forward to watching many more.

Glad you finished. Personally, I’m more a fan of antiques and / or reproductions from the time period. Not a fan of painting true antiques.

Beautiful colours you used! I love the style and the work you have done!

Lovely. The sofa is fine. Perfect size for a bedroom.

You live near the coast. As you probably learned from living in the Bay Area, there are sea and land breezes that result from the temperature differences between the land and large bodies of water. The English Channel is quite deep and cold, with fast-moving currents that keep water temperatures quite low. These wind-effects occur at different times of the day, because of the warming and cooling effects of the sun. The strength of these winds is often a function of the local topography, with Brittany seeing stronger winds because the area is relatively flat…

Looks lovely and well done. Love the paint choices. Water, wind and windows! We’ve got the same weather here in southeast UK. Water wants to come in even through our double glazed windows at the moment. Old houses!

You have exquisite taste, with the added extra of a cat video.

I love your videos it’s so down to earth as the saying goes this is our life good and bad. More good you two are so sweet

You’re so down to earth and hard working. Your chateau is gorgeous, and you are doing a lovely job restoring it. I especially love all of your animals. Keep up the great work, and Happy New Year!

Stay upbeat. The leaks are a pain but you two will solve it. The guest room is beautiful. The course and ambiance. Very cosy. Will pray for Mimi's nose to heal. All the cats look so happy.

Have you ever considered a run in shed for the donkeys or a lean to by the donkey house. Horses don’t like spaces where they don’t see the horizon. I can’t imagine they ever go into the donkey house but a lean to that keeps them out of the rain and wind with 2 sides open would get them out of wet weather. Getting wet this much doesn’t dry quickly

Happy New Year! The bedroom looks great!

Very nicely done!

The grey is beautiful and very zen

Happy New Year to you too! Looking forward to what happens next. Your concern and care for your creatures is so touching.
