About us,
We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK and Escape to rural France to restore this beautiful building to its former glory.

Perhaps another strong large planter such as a smaller wagon could be painted a colour to draw the eye - the wood looks lovely but I personally would go for the white - you could consider matching up your mom's entrance door plus your two in a French Blue?

I agree but the problem is that once you start painting wood then you are committed to continuing to rub down and repaint every few years. Wood varnish /stain/oil is quicker to re do.
Painting the cottage windows and dormers white would create more cohesion with the Château. I think it's a grest idea.👍
I bet Patrick is disappointed that the weather hasn't let you work outside. He so enjoys helping with the digging.

I think white for the cottage windows. I'm not sure if you thought about it yet but as you will be receiving guests in the future ( unless guests would be going to the cottage regularly) maybe a small fence around Tracey's cottage with sinage that marks it as private so no one wanders into a private space? That would be my preference for myself.

I think that the cottage windows would look better white on the outside, they could be left wood stain on the inside if that is what Tracy prefers. When all the lamps are painted white with gold trim it will look lovely
I can't wait until you start working on the downstairs and kitchen in the Château.

Hello from snowy Vermont USA where we got 25 inches of snow this weekend. so it was warming to see you outside working just in a hoodie! The new lamps will add so much to the warmth of the look of the chateau at night as you all walk around and also from down by the road. As far as the cottage windows, yes, paint them white to better tie in with the rest of what you are doing as right now it looks like they are just waiting to be done. Congrats on jobs well done! Rest well tonight and this week all.
Lanterns are gorgeous another addition to the glorious Chateau. Yes, I agree I think the cottage windows painted white would definitely be in keeping ❤
I love the lamps you and your Mum chose for outside the Château, I think the frames of the cottage would look brighter and like you say Terry more in keeping with the Château window frames, another just job well done 😊❤

Not boring, Terry! I love watching any progress to the property. Very much wish I could travel there and help you outside. Thanks for including us in your journey!
White windows are a must. It will look beautifull
I can't wait to see some internal stairs going down to the basement! Seeing you asked... I prefer metal gates, rails, lamp posts etc to be dark grey/black - not white. The exterior timbers in white give the chateau country cottage look, if that's what you're after - but I think they would look better in the dark grey, which would be more elegant - and match that colour in the stone walls of the chateau It's not the subject/topics that are boring - people watch to see restoration - but seeing bits of work with no context, before and after, or known destination, or just a talking face for extended periods ... is a bit frustrating!
Think white is the best choice .
That was a very tedious job done brilliantly! Bravo! Boring? NEVER! It amazes me the work you do that would scare the whiskers off a kitten, and then think we may be bored. I wouldn't even climb up on the scaffolding .... unless I was being chased by wolves! So, kudos! Well done!
Yes, I think painting the doors and windows on the cottage would be best so it matches the chateau.
The smaller lamps are built to be on a pole away from a wall if that makes a difference as they emit light in all directions. The others are built to be against a wall and throw light forward and to the sides.
I'm surprised Paula didn't have a drop cloth over those gorgeous floors painting the windows 😮. I would love more of an explanation or a tour of the creepy stairs, where they went to, etc.
Another just job done!! I think the cottage windows would look lovely painted white, thereby emulating the look of the chateau windows.
Tracy is a one man band with all the different jobs she tackles. I can how it’s been passed down to Terry.

For what it’s worth, I agree with the decision making you’ve proposed in this vlog. Outside lanterns as assigned for the cottage and chateau. I personally love the natural color on the cottage but agree that it should match the chateau by painting the wood white. All of the out buildings owned by the landholders would have matched, to designate ownership. ❤🏰
It looks like a narwhal horn, but it’s a drill bit.😁❤ Terry you might think it’s not exciting, it will definitely make the outside entrance nicely on both sides of the tower. It will look great in the long run. Thank you. The cottage should be in white in my opinion.

I think you should swap the lamps, to be honest... Just because the smaller ones are actually replicas of old horse carriage lights, so they would fit on a carriage house - or cottage. They seem way to small for the Chateau. Whereas the larger ones are a better fit, sizewise. And they do look a bit more posh, if you ask me 😊

Gloss black windows and coach lights on the cottage would look better than white otherwise keep them natural wood so that it looks stand alone, separate from the chateau.
Leave the cottage windows wood and make the lights black or gun metal grey as a contrast.
Having lights outside for the guests will be so appreciated. Could you have the lanterns sandblasted while you're getting the gates done? But they'd look stunning in either brass or white. And I'm team white for the cottage windows. That would make the château and cottage look more cohesive.

Truely think white is the best choice. Its best to having it to match the chateau. The lighting will really add warmth to greeting those who drive up to visit. Hello 👋🏻 from Southern California 🌴
The lights will look good but I had hoped you'd use tiny lights inside the glass awning to create a glow. but no single source. This "carriage" style fixture throws little light. New topic - my father and I battled over white vs black ironwork. I painted everything iron black as part of house painting while he was on vacation. I returned from a college semester to find he had repainted everything iron white. Hope you don't tire of the white - it shows dirt and neglect more BUT it will probably appeal to women who are planning weddings. The neighbors preferred my black.

Dear Lalacellers, I don't think the cottage doors and windows should be white. Here's why. The two buildings are similar in style, yet quite different. If the cottage woodwork is white it will feel as if the cottage has been separated, cut off, from the main chateau. But as a cottage it is a quite charming building with its own identity. I would suggest painting the wood a very pale blue. It's look would be like the wall lanterns you chose for the cottage, less formal but charming, The buildings will relate to each other but hold their own identity. See what you think. Maybe a test on the door?
I think the windows would look better in white. Wood when it’s new is lovely, but it quickly starts to look grey and dull.

I think the cottage windows would look good painted white. Restoration of the stairs to the cellar would be great. I found today's episode very interesting. It is such a pleasant change from all the gloomy news of all that is going on in the world. It is a little beacon of hope for the future.
Black lamps would look so much better, so would black railings. :)
Painting the cottage windows white is definitely a good call. It should connect visually with the chateau as part of the same visual line. Also chipping off the old render and exposing the stone would also help the cause. I would also clean the stones in the walled garden to also visually connect the cottages with the chateau. It would look a lot more grandeur. Great work! Are there cobbles in that court yard? Would be beautiful if there are to uncover sure you’ll get to doing the great gravel from the drive.. Lately some beauful metal planters or Versailles planters will soften the facade. I would do it in apple green color.
