Absolutely stunning. Between the work of hanging the wall covering and the construction of the paneling...it is quite easy to see why you praise Amaury so much. A real artistic carpenter. I’m so happy for all of you at the chateau.

That hidden door is a masterpiece. Amaury you are a master craftsman the salon looks spectacular.

Philip has a designer’s eye. He was right about the color and wrapping the wallpaper around the corner.

Stunning is not the word. Absolutely outstanding work by Amaury, he is a true craftsman. The combined vision of everybody in the Chateau along with the talent that runs through every individual is so inspiring. Chateau de LaLande couldn't have landed in the hands of better people.

OMG Amaury is worth his weight in gold, his attention to detail is absolutely amazing, the room is stunning 🤩🥰

Amaury! Not only are you a soft spoken (and from what I can see) kind gentleman but you are seriously an amazingly skilled craftsman. What I can see is that this chateau has changed your life by finding you a life partner and a career with your family but YOU have changed the life of the chateau as well. I literally don't think another would have the same amount of love and detail. You are a true asset to this chateau.

Amaury’s work is utter perfection. What an amazing talented man. The patience he must have to accomplish something like this it’s unbelievable. What an enormous asset you have at the Château. Not just another wonderful addition to your family there but the talent he brings along with him can’t be measured.

Amaury is truly a craftsman. His talents will be in high demand from other chateau owners.

They are are very much alive in his humble and sincere self and in his master craftmanship! May God bless him and keep him! Patricia

Fantastic! Amaurie will be part of the history of the chateau forever! The changes and sympathetic work is second to none. Bravo's all round!

We must thank God twice for Amaury and his talents! The room looks extraordinary!

Cousin Amaury is now an official master craftsman and artisan… He deserves a gold medal and a big pay bonus! Absolutely amazing! The time and the patience! Unbelievable! Congratulations on creating a stunning room! The hidden door is fabulous… I can visualize Stephanie wearing a historical gown nonchalantly leaning against the hidden door sipping a glass of wine and all of a sudden the door quietly opens, and Philip’s hand gently pulls Stephanie‘s arm and whisks her inside for a secret kiss! Enjoy! Bravo!

My hat is off to Amaury -the skill to create that paneling is incredible. Most people will never realize what it took to create this - they will just know that it is something so beautiful and something you simply don't see any more.

The paneling is stunning - what an amazing job Amaury has done! And, of course, the wallpapering job (adore the paper, it's perfect) is pretty amazing too. Finally, the colour you eventually went with, as chosen by Phillip, for the over mantle, is absolutely spot on. Brilliant job by all of you, working together (which is the magic of Lalande and one of the things that keeps us watching all of you with such delight and inspiration). Lastly, but not least, how wonderful for you to finally see the Marquis' room as you dreamed it. You must be popping into the room at least 5 times a day to thrill yourself again with what you have created there. Well done!

I certainly hope that Amaury has signed his work behind the paneling and that you have included a history of the room and the inspirations for it's current state to inform the generations yet to be born. It is magnificent.

Incredible craftsmanship. This man's dedication to his carpentry is simply breathtaking. Without this skill being 'in the family' the cost would have been so prohibitive, it might never have been done in this room. And whatever you did agree, it was a bargain. I am in awe of you all, and the way you complement one another in getting the design and execution done so creatively, beautifully. Very well done. Once again, another gem.

Amaury should be so proud of creating such beautiful work that will last as long as the chateau. What a beautiful work of artisanship. Philip was absolutely right about the fireplace color--the darker color just recedes into the background. Congratulations to you all on completing this stunning room.

There's this saying "They don't make 'em like they used to". Well there still ARE people who "make 'em like they used to" and Amaury is one of them. There still are craftsmen in many areas (be it woodworking or other specialties) who are still doing this high level of work, still caring about precision, and creating an end product that will last for many years to come. Amaury, your work is stunning and we all tip our hats to your expertise and wonderful craftsmanship! Well done, well done! (y) And well done to all the other people who contributed to the room's completion. It is a gem!

There are no words! I’m in awe of everybody who’s had a hand in the transformation! Amaury is a master. My husband said that the green on the fireplace was the perfect colour to make the picture stand out and I agree. Love the hidden door! Take a bow all of you. You’re doing the chateau proud. Xx

Amaury is an artist just as a singer or painter or dancer is. I hope he takes a moment to be proud of the art he created. The room is beautiful and I look forward to seeing it being enjoyed in future videos. Congratulations on creating such a warm and welcoming room.

Blown away by Amaury's craftsmanship! Would love to know what wood the paneling, etc. is made of, and more about where Amaury learnt his craft and gets his inspiration from.

Amaury's amazing ability, achieved an artisan appearance, allowing an ancient chateau sitting room to come alive again. A wonderful example to young people. Showing that education is not a waste of time. His love and dedication for for his craft shines through. Self deprecating humour and work ethic are a joy to watch. An invaluable asset to the La Lande family. Thank you for sharing .Stay safe.

Absolute perfection. Amaury is a genius Master craftsman. Steph's ability to see how all the components work together to make a glorious whole is superb. Phillip's eye for detail, color, and proportion is stellar. All the team - Ian the plasterer, Grant flying in from Australia to help out, Jerry, Nattie keeping Amaury well fed and caffeinated, everyone has created a marvel of a room. Could not be more impressed. Hope you were all able to take a few days off to relax and recharge. You deserve to. Deepest thanks to all.

The woodworking that Amaury did is absolutely fabulous and fascinating.

10 thumbs up to Amaury. Stunning woodwork. The wall paper transforms us to another era. Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. It doesn't even need furniture. Stephanie, your beautiful green dress highlights your out-of-this-world eyes. You breathe amazing life into this chateau with your incredible gifts and love.

Phillip is a brilliant decorator and has a great eye for symmetry! Amaury is a master woodworker and artisan! What a gift you have in these two men in your life…not to mention Jerry…a positive, uplifting and humorous guy! What a lucky woman you are to have surrounded yourself with such a team of wonderful people! You must be blessed and brilliant yourself to have attracted and gathered them in the first place!

Two of the grandchildren came by a month ago. They spent summers there and said it was not very livable then. They appeared to like all the changes. There were 11 children of the Marquis's generation and 30 grandchildren (if I am remembering what Stephanie said). Up in the attic area in that hallway they just cleaned up a month ago, there were cubicles, not rooms for extra beds when Stephanie first arrived. Remember that Stephanie put in lots of loos and showers in each bedroom also. She hid them in the thick walls and closets. 😘😘😘😘

Amaury is not just a carpenter, he’s a craftsman and so talented. You would think that those panels had always been there and were just restored. Your room looks really stunning now. Stephanie. Well done to all involved and what a great job. 👏

I was seriously struck with awe when I witnessed Amaury's finished worksmanship. My throat tightened and my eyes filled with tears when I imagined the impossible scenario that you might not have adequate fire drills with fire extinguishers close by. You are all so gifted. What a beautiful room. Loved the shot of your mother at the window.

Amaury is an artist...just love his work and his soft spoken gentle spirit...He and Nattie are just adorable...

The mantle is perfectly imperfect. Please don't change it. The dark green is wonderful. Your love for this home is so inspiring and so beautiful I often cry watching you all work so hard. You truly are "planting trees for the futures of people to enjoy shade " eventhough you may never see the full branches. To care for a historical home is never ownership. It is caregiving till the next family takes over. Phillip, well done, the papper and the paint was just right.
