I laughed my way through this video. From the “dangerously attractive trousers”, to Philip’s “impeccable” measuring skills, to the questionable use of the new camera, I couldn’t stop laughing. At the end of every video, I know this for certain. Philip’s gift is humour even though he thinks it’s electrics. Ana’s gift is design and tasteful decorating.

I know what you mean. My former study had those 2 colors, and it made me cheerful every day. It was really beautiful. I was sorry to leave it behind when I had to move.

Several years ago I had dinner at a professional interior designer’s home. Her dining room was a deep coral. She told me that the red family works best with food. The red is similar to the food. So I vote for the burgundy or rust.

😂Okay Phillippe is the "YOKER" in the house, but Ziggy makes me laugh the most today by the way he was making up his mind about the collors. Symply lovely.😂😂

Dear Philip, Give up the ghost! You have zero chance of picking a color in your house. Dear Anna, Give up the charade. You no longer need to pretend that Philip has a choice! LOL I write this with a huge smile on my face because you two are fantastic together. Anna, your sense of style and taste is impecable. Pick a "red" for the dining room. Philip, go do some landscaping and be happy. Now, what's the over under that the dining room will be done by Christmas? God Bless, Christopher

It looked like Ziggy picked the pink sand colour to me.

"It's perfectly centered, especially when you look from afar." It this is a stunt, it's incredibly funny. If he really does not use a measuring tape in cases like this, it should be grounds for divorce. Either way, so happy to wake up to a new Chateau video. Thanks!

Phillip makes me laugh out loud all the time. This week is no exception-love his sense of humor. I measure the same way he does. You are so cute together. It is so difficult to choose paint colors. I still prefer a muted blue. It will play nicely off the adjourning rooms. I’m sure whatever Anna chooses will be gorgeous. Thanks for another fun vlog.

I love how you guys are talking about contrast in colors and what both of you personally prefer, and then the shot pans to us seeing you wearing muted blues and Phillip wearing a bright fall orange sweater

The transport of marbleplates! I made the same mistake when transporting a belle epoque cupboard...now thanks to Philip I know why it broke!

I still love the dark red color and like the idea that it will contrast with the rest of the Château

I love watching the process of designing a space, but I love the humour most.

Love how the dog was staring at you color samples as if he was trying to help you make a decision.

Thank you!! I deeply appreciate your humor and how the two of you relate to each other.

It will be lovely whatever you choose. Your collective taste has proven you know how to create beautiful spaces.

Loved Phillip’s safety song!

I love transom windows- very exciting discovery above the door using the “amateur dog colonoscopy” tool. 😂😂😂

Love Lord Ziggy. The last shot with him looking at the colors was priceless. I agree with Anna - whatever color you decide needs to be muted like the other rooms in the château.

Your personalities make your vlogs so much more interesting than some other DIY shows! My salmon pink walls change color throughout the day as the sun moves over the house. Very calming and softer than dark orange or pinky pink!

This video was great! It reminds me why I became a Patron. 🇺🇸😘

Anna, this is "decorator 101" but may I suggest that you choose an object or furniture piece which will be of importance in that dining room and then define your prominent wall colour from there. That is great idea with the samplers. thanks for sharing your wall plug work Phillip; it was electrfying!😵‍💫🥰you two are a hoot together! & Ziggy is clearly madly in love with you both....so sweet.🦮🌲

Wooo I love this! My first vote is still to restore the mural, but that is probably not realistic in the time frame. My second vote is definitely one of the darker terracotta/reds! It will bring so much warmth to the room, I know it will look great. I agree with Philipp on this one, contrasts are fine! We have our living room fully painted in the beautiful dark F&B Hague Blue, and our dining room is bright in ivory and pale blue.

I would be inclined to go with a China Clay colour in that room - rosy, almost like fresh plaster. It’s really on trend and yet would fit the classic features of the room. And it would sit well with the rest of the chateau. You can add seasonal contrast with table dressings and other stuff in the room. Please don’t do another beige or green room (ok, not my house.....) x

Agreed with the China clay color it's not as muted. The darkest red on your pallet has a little too much yellow in it sucking the red out too much.

I am really surprised to find myself loving the orange in that room. Like Anna, I couldn't picture myself ever choosing that color... in a million years... But I have to say with the gold mirror and the window light, the muted orange and the orange up on the wall really looked stunning and if you were to go warm in any room I think the dining room is the way to go. You guys always end up choosing the most spectacular colors! I can't wait to see what direction you take the room in!

Finishing the dining room reno so quickly is a great stretch goal. Fortunately Philip’s measuring methodology is bound to save you so much time that will help achieve this goal.

Have you thought about painting a fresco above the wainscoting? You could do a garden scene (lots of green foliage, local birds, deep red flowers for contrast) like the house of the golden bracelets at Pompeii. Or incorporate more exotic animals plus portraits of yourselves, your children, ziggy, friends who’ve helped in the restoration (like the staircase mural at RagleyHall) or a Rex Whistler type of noble , dramatic panorama (Plas Newydd) Be brave and original, make it your own!

I bequeath to you, Phillip, our family battle cry as we build houses, repair cars or what-have-you here in rural east Texas. I know you’ll carry it in true spirit of careless disregard to which it is most suited. As blades are spinning, motors running, hammers swinging, we often feel the need to remind ourselves of the importance of safety and that it should not be forgotten - so we shout to each other inaudibly under the din of work: “Safety third!” It has served us well. In an entirely unrelated note, my father has 9.5 fingers from a table saw accident. Good day to you all!

The humor between both of you, keeps me coming back. Just new here from Canada. I manage Chateau Eastgate.

I was kind of into the red until I caught the glimpse of the dark blue/green swatch by the mirror - it was so beautiful. I'd do the upper walls that color and keep that lovely cream on the bottom panels. Honestly though, you've got a lot of beautiful colors there to pick from and you shouldn't listen to us! I trust your style choices at this point and you should go for what resonates with you the most

maybe do one room for design that brings in all the rooms colors. all your greens, kitchen colors and others in some print or painting so that when you go from room to room it all makes sense from the basic one room that pulls them together.

I love you Anna but… having a striking room in a all muted house is gorgeous!!! Now a whole muted house… not so much. And the fact that it’s the dinning room. It couldn’t be a better room to do the red. It would look very luxurious. But I also would have loved to see a red bedroom ❤️ No matter what the house looks absolutely amazing. But I’m rooting for that red luxury dinning room. Which is also very 18th century ❤️

What a talent Philip has and just so funny he makes me smile oh yes and very handsome 😊

Cannot tell you how you lighten my day and make me laugh ,thank you for bringing so much joy , plus amazing hard work you are doing

I still like the dark reddish color next to the mirror. You could do gold for the trim to give the whole room a grand, appetizing feel. Since the room is a good size, the darker color helps to make it cozier, too.

Like you Philip, I am an intuitive measurer, so we have reason to be especially appreciative of partners like Anna who save us from ourselves.

My favorite was the endoscope and all the jokes around it. Phillip I enjoyed the exploration of your nose. Very brave to show that footage, but I couldn’t stop laughing.

My dear Philip, you're a true electrian hero!

Thankyou so much for making the laugh! Such a wonderful gift!

Wow!!!! Just saw your latest subscriber numbers - 334K. I am so impressed with your vlogs and the gentle humour and teasing and profoundly in awe of Phillip's innate humility 🤣😂

I love all the lighter, muted colors. I completely agree with Anna that the dining room should marry well with the other rooms. You have chosen fantastic colors in all the other spaces and I am sure you will in this room as well.

I painted a dining room in one of my former houses in chinese red with vanilla white baseboards and molding finished with a dolphin gray ceiling. Stunning. The room was photographed for a design magazine. Also, red hops with digestion. I know it sounds weird. Philip, like your sense of humor. You guys are great!

I would love to see this room with a mural like in the green bathroom (if you have not enough time now you can paint just the wall color and do the mural after christmas). And I can‘t really imagine a mural with red color scheme. A nice blue color and a chinoiserie inspired mural would perfectly fit to the chimney with chinoiserie motive. And there has to be a very large chandelier in this room. And a very classic dining table with upholstered elegant chairs. And I love your funny bickering - hilarious 🤣

I thought this channel was not going to be updated ? But it is nice to see you guys. Phillip is also pretty entertaining

Anna, to the left of the mirror you have a pumpkin color that looks gorgeous on the wall. Of all the colors you have, it looks the most beautiful on camera. It beats all the colors you ordered afterward. Also, the herringbone floor is lovely as well. This will be a beautiful room when you are done!

The chateau seems so light and airy. I think we’ll end up seeing their modern take on a dining room. Deep dramatic reds can feel so traditional. I wonder which color the girls and Ziggy will be drawn to!

I like the dark red as well, my own dining room is a dark forest green (half wall white wood work), the rest of my house has earth tone muted colors. Can't wait to see what you select- I am sure it will be beautiful like the rest of your house. Love your videos!

Listen to your own instincts for the color. You have made wonderful decisions with the rest of the renovations. Your choice on this will be beautiful too.

Well...I prefer burgandy or even maroon to any other color you may have. I love you two. You are perfect together. Please enjoy yourselves. Don't ever change. Just pick the dark red. ;)

Philip and my Austrian must be long lost brothers, the sense of humor is very familiar. Anna, you are such a patient woman. 💕

I like the red but agree it doesn't flow from the adjacent room. I think the more muted deep rose would work and would give you options going forward if you decided to paint a fresco or fresco border, you could even link the two rooms more with floral art bringing in different shades of red and green tones. You could add richness through paintings and fabrics, perhaps deeper coloured lampshades - smaller details that wouldn't fight with the adjacent room.

Years ago when I did a color theory class, I read that red can make people happy and more energetic, and that's why McDonald's and other American fast-food restaurants use quantities of red, so the customers eat faster, and the shops have better table turnover. I'm sure that whatever color you choose will be lovely, but the muted colors seem more suited to a dining room. Having said that, I do so enjoy your vlogs, they do make me laugh out loud. Thank you.

It's always a wonderful delight to watch your vlogs. I absolutely love the pale colors of the walls in your "storage" room with the fireplace. Stay well and happy. Love from Southern California. ♥️❄️♥️

Well I personally feel exultingly lucky to receive such wisdom from this remarkable renaissance man.

I love how Ziggy is never far away but I definitely need more Ziggy from you guys. Like all your shorts should be Ziggy shorts…. ❤

The thing that is so wonderful about the chateau is the wonderful light and airy feel. Even the darker green bedroom and bathroom feels light because the color is muted and adjusted with painted patterns. While dark colors can be stunning in a dining room, perhaps it wont work in this house, with the color of the light panels. Also, Its so important to think of the light streaming in the room. Dark rooms tend to absorb all the sunlight, and if you live in a place with less sunshine, a lighter color is so much more rejuvinating in glommier overcast months. Maybe a very pale blue in warmer tones or the pale apricot color are best? Or even a pale greenish gray? There is a youtube video of gweneth paltrows newest dining room (open door AD) which looks very much like your home without the stunning paneling. I bet you could achieve an effect like that. Maybe paint the background color you like for the holidays and then add in the mural effect later?

I'm sure whichever color you choose, it will be beautiful. I love the feel of a dark dining room with warm ambient light.

I love how seriously Lord Ziggy is taking this choosing of the wall colour palette!

Go for the red! The passion project at Boudreaux Life used it in one room and it looked great!

I loved the parting shot of Ziggy looking very intently at the paint samples! That boy is always willing and ready to help out! ♥️

I like the Terra cotta! It’s the color of Ziggy!!

I was team red now I'm loving the muted terracotta color. I cant wait to see all your swatches on the wall.

Great episode!! I cracked completely when you showed Ziggy staring in trance at the colour. I am always looking forward to your vlogs - especially now when you‘re renovating again. You chateau is definitely one of the best. Viele Grüße aus Bayern und eine schöne Adventszeit euch vieren.

I love the humor and learning at the same time

Anna, I think after your being burned by having to repaint a red-painted room, you are now being understandably wary about choosing something in that color range. Whatever you choose, it will be beautiful, because your exquisite sense of design will lead you in the right direction. Thank you and Philipp for another interesting, funny and engaging video.😊

The darker red still looks the best

philip you are too funny. have me in stitches every vlog lol.

Every aspect of your château has a quality and grace in your decorating choices the red in the dining room would be icing on the cake the contrast with the rest of the muted tones in the chateau would really make your dining room into a really GRAND DINING ROOM and it would be a centerpiece of your château😃😃🎄🎅🏻 MERRY CHRISTMAS from Lafayette Louisiana USA and thank you for all the wonderful content and entertaining times you all have been kind enough to share with the world🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻❤️

the darker red color on the mantel (underneath the orange, left to the muted green/blue colors) should be the paint color. Its perfect!! I am also fan of more contrast, sorry Anna, but Filip has a point.

You must be so happy to get to that room! Can't wait to see what you do with it ( :

The boy still lives within the man!

I agree with comment on your videos being too short. They are so instructive and helpful. Philippe much more of your wisdom would be gratefully received. I also admire Anna's patience and forbearance with certain members of the family 😉

I love his sense of humour ❤😂well their sense of humour as a couple. If I wasn’t poor, I would ask if could come to stay for awhile and help in anyway. But, I am poor and old so I’ll just watch and chuckle a lot. Love and respect from Calgary, Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 JOYEUX NOËL💖 MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄

I usually love all of Anna's color choices... But I think the deeper red is still the most beautiful for this room! Either that or the deep blue color 😁

Oh please please, please pick red or at least the faded terracotta. The colors look so different on paper than on wood. Maybe actually paint the walls with the swatches.The red swatch next to the mirror looks absolutely fabulous! Ana, you could always make another print wall paper for the upper part of the wall to tone down the red. I’m sure you will do something stunning!

The burgundy is beautiful! Philip is correct about contrast. Risks must sometimes be taken.

Ziggy at the end Is the Chef kiss 😂

After painting rooms for what seems like forever, I do agree with your theory, Anna, of painting rooms in colors that are compatible. When I walk around my home now, there is a quiet, almost tidy feel of the paint colors being equal. In other words, no big changes between rooms.

Honestly, in this vlog you three are just too cute for words!! Ziggy with his curious nose and you two with your playful banter and laughter. Love this new project and can’t wait to see the next episode. Lots of love from sunny/wet (☔️our wet season has arrived) Central Coast, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺🥰♥️
