Hopefully it was just a one time bad experience for us. When we come to France it’s usually just for a couple of weeks at a time. When we place an order we make sure that it will arrive during that time period. We count on it being there when it says it will be there, because we plan out what projects we will work on before we fly to France. We know that we have a limited time to work on those projects and complete them. This time it didn’t go as planned because Amazon didn’t deliver as planned & promised. I was just explaining why it didn’t work out, and why we had to change plans at the last minute. Hopefully it won’t happen again in the future! 🤗

So happy to see this progress Jessica! You've turned this into such a beautiful space! I love all the brocante (of course!). Can you please let us know how the gold / laiton paint holds up on the drain in the sink? I'm planning on doing the same thing for my kitchen! I have also gotten the same rods at Ikea to hang pots and pans. Anxiously waiting for our renovation to progress. Yes I know how much effort and time goes in and admire how much you get done while only being here for a few days or weeks each time you come. It looks like Mr French Farmhouse is a professional builder? Just wanted to make sure you know you shouldn't seal stone walls. They need to breathe to avoid humidity issues. Also never point them using cement, but I think I saw you using chaux and sand when you repointed the walls so that's perfect. Anything "imperméable" or "imperméabilisant" you want to avoid on your walls. The floors look amazing too! What a difference! Congratulations on all the progress, the house will be gorgeous!

Thank you so much Marloes! I love brocante too!! Yes, I’ll have to let you know how the gold paint holds up. I’ll give an update later on that. Yes, we are only there for usually 2 weeks at a time. We try to get as much done as possible while we are there. My husband is a professional and has been in the building/construction for years. His knowledge and expertise is coming in handy for all the projects! He would love to get work in France, and so he is working on learning the language as am I. I think you’ve mentioned the babel app on your channel before. Do you recommend it for learning French? We are always looking for a good way for learning the French language. Any suggestions would be appreciated!😊

@FrenchCountryLife

5 ай бұрын

oh yes it’s such a blessing when you have knowledge and experience in building. It makes such a project so much less overwhelming. Your husband will have too much work once he decides to offer his services in construction here. There is so much demand! And he could focus on Dutch, English and other anglophones as well. The babbel app (or any other language learning app) is definitely a good and fun way to start learning a language. Pronunciation is key to being understood in France and so what I would personally advise is to start with that as it is easy and doable to make time for it in your daily life. Then when you reach a certain level I would recommend doing live classes or any way of actually speaking French with a native person to learn to have real conversations and have someone guide you in getting your pronunciation right. Also learning about the cultural differences will be highly beneficial. The way the French do business is completely different to the way the Dutch or Americans do business so if he plans to work with other local professionals and French people it is crucial to learn about that.

We didn’t place it there because we wanted it there. It was the original layout of the kitchen. We left it the same because of the plumbing being on that stone wall.
