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.

Boy does that green velvet look stunning inside the cabinet. Great choice! A small gold & green braid seems fitting. The tapestry in the frames feels so authentic in the room. Just allowing people to travel back in time with such luxury. Incredible vision with stylish cohesion... great job!!

Patrick and Stewart's wardrobe looks so amazing in that placement and cleaned up brilliantly. The added touch of green velvet is so in tune with all the intense details of every room!❤
The green is the perfect colour and is not distracting from the cupboard

I think the rich dark green in the wardrobe is so regal looking. You don’t need to trim out the panels, sometimes less is enough. Love it! ❤
Just my thought. Terry nearly aleays has the right idea and it always looks beautiful. Let him be him . To many voices crowds out his magic. Well done the room does look so beautiful

The little details really add to the great work you all do. High five Ash, Terry and Tracy.

Yes… I always love the choices made by Terry. I don’t know his life history but decorating with history standards seems to be his thing. I have even stolen some of the chateaus ideas in my home. I’m rustic antique farmer in Washington state and it’s funny because our weather reflects yours so often. I love old things and am hoping to visit some places sometimes like yours in the future. Can I humbly suggest looking at various shrub willows in the gardens back. They are so beautiful flowing in breezes and the spring flowering varieties can be beautiful. Mine are pink and I enjoy them so much… through my kitchen window and when out frolicking 😀 The Bees like them as well!

It’s very difficult for an Artist to know when to stop. Terry…it’s stunning,beautiful and perfect!!! Rest and enjoy. From Texas
That cabinet would be a great place to put an extra blanket and pillow, too. Every nice hotel has these in a cupboard so that the guest doesnt have to ask for them.
Guys the room looks fab!! & the green velvet in the wardrobe is the perfect color choice. It's elegant, everything goes with green & you don't have to consider changing it seasonally because green is appropriate for all seasons.😊
I like the idea of the tapestries in the bedroom. As a fiber art artist, please take the glass off the front. The tapestry must breathe. As temperatures fluctuate the fibers rub against the glass and wear. Hard on those old tapestries. Such art does better without coverings. It looks so good! Congratulations.

I love the green velvet in the wardrobe. I'm also glad that you kept the wood trim visible, it makes the inside look much nicer.
Tapestry & frames are perfect for the 400 suite which now looks more spacious & inviting. Mum is polishing the cabinet which looks fantastic & the green fabric is perfect choice too. Well done 👏👏 Edited comment: I like the cabinet as is with green velvet & no additional detail - simple elegance.
I love how meticulous Terry is! Good job, Tracy!

Beautiful. I know many opinions are with well intentions but do what makes your heart sing and don’t worry about all of the voices. This is your home, your hard work and your taste. It’s all stunning. xx
The wardrobe looks amazing, honestly I wouldn't change a thing! No trim , no frosted glass, nothing It's amazing and perfect as is. Add some lovely brass coat hangers and it's all gold!
The changes are brilliant. The room is more balanced and the furniture won't get banged up as much because the flow is improved. You have put so much work into those rooms. Most people will respect the area but, there may be a few who won't. I'm not trying to be negative, just realistic. Great job.
The armoire looks like a jewel box now! I love the choice of green velvet. ❤
I really love the tapestry pictures you have hung where the wardrobe used to be.They are perfect for that spot.
So glad to see the fire screen removed from in front of the radiator. Room looks so much better without it. Green velvet in soon to be wardrobe very elegant and IMO doesn't need trim nor voile - the elegance is in its simplicity.
I think you should just leave the green backing plain so the beauty of the cabinet stands out. There is no embellishment on that piece of furniture - the architecture alone stands out beautifully...a peaceful interior of the cabinet lends itself to putting clothing inside without thinking they are on display. Kudos to a beautifully done job 👋

@@chateaudelalacelleI think the green looks so much better than any red could. Please don't 'embelish' the cabinet it would be detracting and not go with the Voile you are going to put inside of it. The springing curtain wires held up with hooks at the top and bottom holding the Voiles up. Would look great.
At the risk of sounding like a sycophant, I love everything you all do. ❤ from TX!
Looking fab. Everyone will now be velvetising their wardrobes Terry 😊❤❤❤❤
I think the cabinet you’re working on looks really good and as long as the guests have a nice place to hang their clothes I don’t think it matters if it’s not in the actual room. Looking beautiful and a thin gold edging would finish it off nicely 😊
I know everyone has opinions, but my opinion on the room is about the bedding. For aesthetic reasons and for practical reasons, you may want to seriously consider white sheets and duvet covers. There is a reason why hotels use white sheets - much easier to clean and bleach - and easier to replace any damaged pieces (a pillow case or a fitted sheet. I also think it would bring in some brightness to the room. You can always add a lovely throw blanket and decorative lumbar pillow to bring in some additional color and cozy to the bed. Everyone loves crawling into crisp white hotel sheets 😍

Seeing the vintage frames that fit in the panels perfectly make my OCD quite happy ❤ A gold trim in the cabinet would look lovely.
Je suis admirative de tout votre travail de restauration murs , tableaux lustres etc...💪👍👏
Love the tapestries in the frames and love the wardrobe with the green velvet.
The green velvet looks amazing, elegant and suave. I don’t think you need any embellishments. Superb.
If I'm not mistaken, isn't the white room where the wardrobe is now the "entrance" to the suite? If so, then the guest would have the entire 3 rooms to themselves so having their clothes in the wardrobe there is fine! Perhaps a layout diagram to show people what the 400 and 401 suites look like 👍🏼 awesome work the 2 of you!!
The velvet looks good as is, but what the cabinet really needs is a few ferns on top. When you look at period photos of Edwardian interiors there is foliage everywhere, so a few brass catchepots with big leafy ferns would really finish off the space.
Terry darlin , you are on it . Fabulous. I love the wardrobe, I love your new tapestries and the velvet in the new wardrobe. Excellent. I also think being the perfectionist you are to put a tiny trim around the velvet is what you'll end up doing to finish it off . X
The wardrobe is lovely as it is - no rope detail! Less is more 😉
Just love the velvet inside the new wardrobe, it's such a brilliant idea ❤
Love the green in the wardrobe great choice of colour. Love the framed tapestries by the way Terry. Another terrific video
Really love the framed tapestries.

The cabinet in the bedroom just did work in terms of symmetry…you made right decision..
Amazing work, as always and I so enjoy watching - what about sourcing some really beautiful old, heavy linen French sheets and pillowcases for the rooms with that lovely embroidery on them - would look amazing, and surely there must be a few in all the brocantes?

I love the new cabinet in the suite. You should consider silvering the back of the glass to make the doors mirrored. It can always be removed later if you find another purpose for the cabinet. I think the glass is beveled which is why silvering rather than just installing mirror. It would look like it was always there.

Green velvet would look so nice in the cabinet but I bow to your superior experience.
The hall cabinet is so beautiful now! Polish made a huge difference. I think a thin trim would look great around the velvet.
The wardrobe looks perfect. I would not even put anything on the front glass, it's supposed to be a lived in space and not the museum, but once you add the hangers you will know. Another just great job!!!!!!
