People are so rude and opinionated. It’s not their house you paint what you want and what you like and I’m glad you brought that up and showed them that things go out of style and come back in.

I agree,what is in fashion isn't important, what Marc and Amy like is what counts afterall they are the ones that will be living there

It is good to hear the comments though so that other views and knowledge above all else, can be imparted. Actually I dislike grey in domestic settings. It's better for industrial jobs but all decor ideas would need to be revised if I were painting a castle!!!!

I love to hear something funny to an American. Marc says “I love this door but it’s not old, just 18th century”. Hahaha.

I believe Marc this is your château and and cottage! NOT the opinionated people with nasty comments. The door looks beautiful. Lovely colors looks gorgeous! Love video Marc and Amy thank you

As far as paint colors I think you should throw what’s in fashion out the door. Use colors you like and what is in keeping with your home. You only have to please yourselves. Love that door lock! So interesting watching the process! ❤

I concur with the above. If "being in fashion" is the objective your entire Chateau is out of fashion -by a couple of centuries

Hehehe 😊 and the rest... this chateau is many centuries old. Mark and Amy know what is best for their home ❤ having said that they are human and some choices will get revisited? ❤❤❤❤

The Chronicles of Chateau de Rosieres, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!

Dear Marc and Amy, you are both the best in so many ways. Great job on the beautiful lock and door Mark. I’m in love with everything old in your chateau and coach house, but with the addition of 21st century things for function and comfort. Love your channels. And yes, styles come and go but this is your home, your labor, your style so do what you love and what makes you happy. Many hugs xx

Marc - You now have “Locksmith” to add to your credentials - Well Done!

😊who cares what" fashion" is. Paint it what YOU like and be happy! Your place is looking great!😊

Wonderful family showing how to push through ups & downs with great character & obvious love.

I like the two-toned paint on the door. The lock and old door are pretty cool. Clement and Juliette are growing so fast.❤

Amy, please tell Juliette that the stickers were a hit. She placed them so lovingly on your cheeks. Perfectly balanced. She's a perfectionist! The doors are going up and soon you will have a cozy home. I bet you can't wait to move in. The lock looks beautiful on the door. I would assume that it will keep out anything. Do the children ever disappear into the bowels of the chateau? I think I would have challenged my parents in doing so. Great adventure.

I like the interior doors and the 'new' lock for the front door. I think the patina is far more attractive than black paint. Well done!

Love the banter between you two, especially when Amy says, "No comment "! 😄

I started to laugh when Marc thought that the dark grey was too dark. Then the look on your face said it all and the reply of no comment.😂😂 You two crack me up. The place is coming together really nicely.😊

Perfect example of how simple sounding jobs take much longer than expected. 😉

What a lovely memory to catch Juliette decorating Mummy with stickers. The rustic door and lock are lovely. Keep the key out of reach of the children till they are older. Stain or paint whatever you like it is your home.

Marc you are a clever man and a “Jack off all Trades”. Your painting of the door was good with a few touch ups like you said and it will be perfect and I actually like the colours of the door and walls as they are. Well done to Amy for her sanding off of the rust from that very old door. Good job guys. Keep up the great work. I really always enjoy your varied videos, thank you both for all the effort you put into filming them for us.

A truly interesting lock, well installed, and enormous fun to enjoy Marc/Mark’s wry and friendly comments.

So many people, so many opinions. You do you (and you do it well as far as I'm concerned)!

My late mother used to tell me ‘you do you’ before it became such a popular statement. It’s so great. You need to make yourself happy & comfortable. You’re the one living your life.

It will be gratifying to see the results of all your hard work on a daily basis when you move in and can take pride in knowing you did it yourselves. What a transformation!

I love the doors and the locks with keys! 👍🏻

Fashion comes and goes, paint what ever colour you like. You’re living with it. 😊

I found this so interesting! Love the locks, paint and historical architectural elements! I lived in a house built in 1600s and loved opening the old latches and locks. I can imagine you enjoying these little details that are used daily. History in your hands!

I do like the door. And the lock is a triumph!

Fashion repeats itself. The lock is crazy. Good job mounting it.

Nice work on that door and lock. And great to see the kids 'helping'.

I love that you all do what you need to and want to. Keep it up!

Marc fixing the lock was amazingly good. And entertaining.

Well done Mark. Love the door and lock😊

Love your choice’s for the home. 🏠. Your home and you are kind enough to share your journey with us. Thank you. Deborah. North Carolina 😊😊❤❤

Marc is so talented. It’s a joy to watch.

Great job Marc!

🇨🇦👋 Brilliant 17th Century Restoration 🇫🇷🏰

Great way to restore a lock on the old door. Such a neat way to reclaim the old keys. 🥰🥰🐓

Great job Marc. Love the door and lock.

Great lock choice Marc, all the hard work paid off, it looks fantastic! Juliette, great work sneaking those stickers onto mama's cheeks! That was a great giggle!

that lock is quite interesting, Marc! nice find!

When you go out, are you going to put that key in your back pocket???😮😂

My father and my daughter used to have sticker w@rs.❤️😂🤣 It was hilarious. Once he was at the Dr a week or two after we had visited and the Dr asked if the sticker on his back was marking something that the Dr needed to look at! 🤣😂🤣😂

Love your doors Marc and Amy you look super glamorous with the stickers on your face, of course Marc wasn’t going to tell you, what a bad lad 😂😂 Much love K🇬🇧❤️❤️

Amy, you are a STAR!! Loved it

Thankyou for the vlog, a joy as always.

Love this family!

I so love that you’re restoring the old doors. And that wooden lock! Ignore the naysayers- you’re doing an amazing job ❤

I love your opening sequence! It's both old-timey and original! Your chateau has come so far with all your hard work! Bravo!

I agree, following paint color fashions is a waste of time - go with what you like!!! If you find out that it happens to be in fashion at the moment, it just becomes one of the renovation stories. 🙂♥️ Good job on the door and the lock! ♥️👏 I had a similar issue with my back storm door, having to search for a lock that would work on an older style door, patch the old hole, etc. But I didn’t have to patch or drill stone, and my key isn’t nearly that cool! On the other hand, my place isn’t nearly that old (only 102), and there are absolutely no locks that old in this part of the US. 😉

That door and lock are gorgeous! I love that key. I’m amazed you think to pick up items for future use! The ultimate recycling!

"no comment"😂😅 I find choosing paint colors so difficult...best thing about paint is it's easy to change 🎨❤

Bravo on the lock Marc! I love your witty humor about the naysayers. Haha!

Just an idea try putting clear wax on the wood work then buffing it up so it looks naturally older a bit more shabby chic. Paint finishes are a lot of hard work but really done well last for many years to come. It also changes the depth of the colours. Easy for me to say with my many years of experience. Love the old locks ❤

Great job! ✨🌞✨

I love the old green door!!! Just strip it and the henges and put oil on it and it will look gorgeous!

Marc is quite the Renaissance Man. Well done!

Great to see you all. Missed yous!! Lots of love chez in Lliria Valencia Spain 😘😘😘😘😘

Loving your videos. Really interesting. Thank you. The lock is fantastic. Very beautiful and looks perfect on the door. The room is really taking shape.

That old Lock is amazing and looks just right 👏

Marc, I really like how the inside door turned out, it has a country cottage look. The old outside door looks really good also with the old lock, just make sure the kids don't lose the key as you'll never find another one. Lol..lol..Kathy USA 🇺🇸

I feel very privileged that you share your journey with us. I absolutely adore you both! You could paint the walls anything you'd like and I'd approve. I enjoy it all. I wish you much success!

What a great vlog i am not biased lol but i adore all of you ❤❤❤😊

Hi, I have been following your journey from early days & think you are a beautiful family with a vision. The renovation of your home is definitely a feat with kids and all. I feel the paint colours should be what flatters the natural stone work not what is fashionable. This is not a modern home. I do feel that grey is a little cool and some warmer colours would be more harmonious. Don’t need so many different colours and busy detail on doors etc. Let the stone be the hero of the room with the other accents like the mural. LESS is more. By the time you furnish & add all those details you don’t want everything to compete with each other. It makes a more tranquil space and keeps the look unified. No need for any nasty comments. We all support your channel and want to see you succeed. Love from Australia.

the doors look great there in keeping with the room

I think you guys are fantastic parents and builders.Look at all you have accomplished 👏👏 … wow 🤩 you both are living your life how you want to….and doing it magnificent ❣️😘 So interesting 🤔 to see how you use old things, and make it beautiful!! I love to watch you👏👏❤️🙏🙏

As always, amazing skill! You both deserve to be the owners of such a fine property!

Love Juliette’s stickers on your cheeks Amy! Marc, the door and especially the lock are perfect. ❤

Well done Marc the lock looks great , it's so lovely that you are using original pieces x

Amazing work to restore your door latch! You found the perfect one - well done Mark! 👏👏

Marc is very right and you should do your home as you choose as you are the one's who will live with it so fashion has not much to do with it. It's the time spent and enjoyment and memories that mean more. The doors are beautiful Marc well done leave them on :) I am sorry the other door was so hard to remove whatever it was. You did well on the lock mechanism well done you :)

I think you have the best introduction to your chateau, it makes me smile❤❤❤❤

Mark is getting great at videos!

Wonderful work done! Everything is beautiful! I read the comments and see so much love and appreciation. If there are a few rude or nasty people I think it is safe to completely ignore them! Amy, I noticed the stickers right away and was so curious what the shiny spot on your face was. I laughed so hard when you remembered that you had been stickered! I just love your family. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Please ignore the youtube critics and do what you want.

Another step closer, and love the lock 🤗

One doesn't realize how much work goes into a lock set. The repurposed lock looks great!

You have quite an assortment of historic locks 👍

My eyes were LOCKED to this episode. Great work and expertise!

The lock is beautiful. I love the key. You need a big purse or deep pocket keys to store it. I lived in a turn of the century building as a child. We had keys like that for the attic, front door, cellar. It was a huge key ring. Mark is such a creative, knowledgeable and handy man. Are you going to put weather stripping around the door to close the gaps?

how do you know what you know? Brilliant work. I'm so impressed.

To help with the ‘bleeding’ under the tape, do a quick coat of the base colour after you’ve taped and then do the dark colour after it’s dried.

Great work with the door and everything else in your chateau. Im amazed how you carefully connect the right nuts to the 🚪 😂

That was really interesting, how you fix that old door, and must have been quite satisfying that it worked perfectly. COOL!

I really like the two tone door paint finish - I guess you just have to be sure it goes with how you want to do the rest of the room...which is your creative vision .. and personally I would love the door you put the lock on without paint, burnished old chestnut would be gorgeous, but I don't know what's possible with that 😊 the old lock is lovely ! What a wonderful property you have !

Marc you have made the lock look like it has always been a part of the door 🤩👏👏

I love your attitude about what's "in fashion". 😊

That door and that lock! Amazing.

Showing how you fit the lock was pretty cool.

Marc, you have endless talents! The construction is so different from where I live as the access to materials is different. We have clay, sand, and water here in the US Midwest. Wood, iron, and anything but sandstone is lacking and has to be transported quite a way. How fun it must be to be able to go outside and find materials in the garden!

I love the into music and old time Pics

Great job on the door and lock 😍😘

Mark, nothing against the choice you made for the lock, it looks great. I do wonder though if there is a somewhat local locksmith that could make a key for the lock without. Seems a shame not to use it. At one point I wondered about the gap at the door edge but when you closed it at the last it looked nice and tight. Well done. Looks great.

Love your choice of lock yes it looks good with the door, and that key is so big you cant lose it 😂😂😂😂😂

The doors look nice. Love that front door.

The locks of today wouldn’t last as long as the one you are using now good job

If people can't say anything nice or constructive, then they shouldn't say anything at all😊

Can you get Frog tape in France. Since i changed to using that instead of masking tape it makes painting much easier, seals better so you don't get bleed underneath. They do several types including one for new paint.❤

Stay true to historic colors - bravo

Congratulations on the lovely lock install 🎉🎉🎉

I realize that this is a day late and a dollar short but for your future I will share a secret. Use vinegar to dissolve rust. No joke folks. Jamaica paste I'm pretty sure that you can just use Warm the vinegar during the cornstarch and a paste. ❤

I knew exactly where you were coming from with the renovator tool, the vibrations are intense aren’t they 😱

I was unaware you had a channel separate from your garden (which I love). I am a new and very happy subscriber. Thank you and good luck, DA

Welcome! Yes this was our original channel until we realised we needed to cover both projects in their own space!

I love your painted doors but I think sanding off in places to make them looked distressed would make them fit the rustic deco more.

Love watching your two channels! Very informative as well as entertaining.
