I'm glad that you found a use for the red ribbon, I had it for years , saved when Kenzo moved from their iconic premises and I was told to dispose of the archives of over 20 years. I donated the reserves to a Fashion School just keeping some rolls of ribbon for myself, now all gone to good homes ! Great job! xoxoxo

What a throwback to our amazing adventure two years ago, “Défilé Haute Couture en Mode Musique Classique”, the successful catwalk at La Grange aux pianos (episode 067 )with Cyril Huvé and Reinhardt Luthier , the original owner of the pigeons collection. This outstanding collection, we have discovered during the big sale at Reinhardt’s atelier (episode 069). Reinhardt was literally honoured to sale the collection to Stephanie knowing she’ll make the best of it at La Lande, and she did 👏👏👏

“Spend your money on one big thing and then be creative with the rest” . Best advice ever! Just love your Vlog, and you attract the best, best people to be near you. I love you all! I will be watching you forever!!!! Don’t ever go away, Stephanie. I know you work sooooo hard (as Gerald says, “you’re breaking my heart”), but our good wishes from Canada come your way.
How lovely to travel back in time and see/hear Hani, Hush, Tomaz and Mummy. 😄

I know, the entrance hall has sort of been showed, but I could really wish for an official reveal here on KZread, because not all of us are actually able to see the latest seasons of Chateau DIY, some subscribers might not even have watched a single episode, and so we still have not seen the rooms fully revealed 🙂 It might also be nice, just for future reference 😉

Yeah, I've said before that an annual walk around of the chateau just talking very briefly about what updates have been made possible via the Patreons and KZread viewers would be incredible. So much has changed since I started watching at the start of the pandemic and it feels like a great deal will further change in the coming year/s so an annual update would be wonderful. 👀😲👏👏👏
Wow! Fun to hear Isabelle's voice for a few minutes! Happy Birthday Cat!
Stephanie, you must have nerves of steel to hang the pigeon pictures off that scaffolding. The finished projects are stellar-well done! Thanks🙏🏻❤️

The pigeon tower looks wonderful! What a great idea for all of those framed art pieces on the ribbons. Also, it was so great to look back at that time when Gerry was there as Stephanie's helper. I love his sense of humour.
It's easy to forget how much progress has been made in such a relatively short time. The courtyard then looks anaemic compared to what it looks like today.

Loved seeing the first Tango, the "oldies" crowd and the funny, terrifying and beautiful DIY. Pigeon Tower and Entry Hall are amazing!😍😍😍😍😍
Hanging the pigeons on a ribbon is inspired ! The stairwell is gorgeous 💕 The wall paper is absolutely glorious.
Mummy! So good to see all of your project dream team, but I think everyone especially misses Mummy. You and Scotman make quite the team up on the scaffold, and wallpapering. These were delightful projects to see, and always so good to see how everyone helps.
my god it's so nice to see all these familiar faces again! Especially mummy!
I just think that Gerry is so awesome. Steph is unbelievably lucky to have a brother like that.
Incredibly satisfying to see all the artists working together to make a space that so many will love.
Well that is amazing! Genius idea with the ribbon and pigeon hanging in the tower. You’re awfully brave to be up that high to paint and hang
it was fun to go back in time and see mommy, Gerry, Hash, Thomas, and Hanni again! Thank you for going this extra mile and filming the behind the scenes on top of everything else. I really love the design and rich tones of the wallpaper, wow! :)
Oh my! What an escapade was the pigeon tower decorating!! It really does look fabulous, what a great idea it was to hang all those pigeon pics.
Great to see Tomas again! I hope he returns to the chateau someday!
What a project! Kudos to you and Gerald for getting on that makeshift scaffold. You're very brave.
I love the red! Pigeon tower is stunning! Brings back memories. Love to all the LaLanders! ❤️
Oh, looked forward to seeing these older videos of the projects. Interesting seeing little peaks and now realize the work to achieve the beautiful results. Fantastic!
The wallpaper is gorgeous!! So happy to finally see the entire room.
The paper around the stone fireplace looks amazing.

I love love love pigeon Tower. I couldn't figure out what on Earth you're going to do with 100 pictures of pigeons. However this is very clever. And it will be a special place to see as I am thankful you and sweet Gerald live to see another day. God bless you and yours. Love, jenwhite
Oh Gerry. If she goes I go❤️❤️❤️. Stephanie my knees were shaking watching you up there. I'm scared of heights!!😬😳 Loved it all!!
It was such fun to see Isabelle again, I’ve really missed her
Glad to finally see the vlog of the work that you've done, the show doesn't show all the fun bits of everyone helping. Good to see all those familiar faces in your vlog. 😁😁
I’d love a tour of your London Flat!
Love, love, love the colours, design with the Pigeon pictures, seeing the older footage with everyone back at the Chateau and only leaves me wanting to see MORE! 🥰👌🇳🇿
Love the pigeon pictures. Thw ribbons were a grwat idea. I held my breath when you and Gerry were on the scaffolding. Well done Stephanie. You amaze me.
Really shows off the talents of Gerald, Selmar and (Leonardo) DanVinci with muse.
It was so great seeing everyone again, time flies by, especially when you are obviously having fun with good company.
Love the story about your papa and the wallpaper apple! That's exactly something I'd do too. 🙂

So lovely to see this at last! One of the highlights- hearing mummy say "it's vonderful", after so long not hearing her voice!
You guys make me so nervous when you were up high… Everything turned out beautiful.
So lovely seeing mummy!! Hope she’s doing well
Thankyou for this Doing quarantine in a hotel. Woke up at 1am and cant sleep This is getting me through the night.
So much fun! It was great to see Isabel and Tomás again! Thanks so much for the behind the scenes! I bet that was better than the show. 😆
I was not sure about the red paint and oh wow until your pigeons went up. What a fabulous idea attaching the ribbons for accuracy and time. I'M using that ribbon idea. Thanks!
It was amazing to see everyone we haven’t seen in so long. What would you do without them all? How lucky they all are to get to take part. I wish we got the show in the USA.
oh my gosh Jerry Im dying ,,, made me gut laugh out loud… on his knees “Forgive me Father for I have sinned” you crack me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️
Hash, your work is amazing. I love the two fans sitting on the day bed. It's also wonderful to see Hanny & Mummy, Gerry your so funny and a big shout out to Thomas
So wonderful to see and HEAR Mummy again...so missed!!
A really interesting and colourful vlog. Love the decorating and painting. Dancing with Selmar is so good, you need to do more. Thanks everyone.
That looks great. I wasn't sure of the colour at first. The pictures break it up and, it's now a great background.
Looks absolutely stunning! I can’t believe we hadn’t seen it before, must have been hard to wait for the unveiling. ♥️
wow that was 1 1/2 years ago and we still haven't seen that on tv!! It all looks great, however, I don't think that was safety first in the tower with the scaffolding
That scaffolding was all kinds of wrong! Thankfully everyone survived to tell the tale!

Wow!!!! The tower came out just beautiful. It’s perfect and everyone’s contribution shows.
The ‘Pigeon Tower’ and the entrance hall are stunning, well done. Great team effort. I love the wallpaper in the entrance.
This was a fabulous vlog. The pigeons look right at home in the tower, and OMG was I holding my breath whilst you and Gerald were up on the scaffolding. Beautiful wallpaper and an asset to the room. Loved the ending. Great Tango and night with Kat! Much love from Northern California. ❤️❤️❤️☮️🙏😘🌹
Enjoyed. So nice to see mummy and the gang all working so hard. Everything is beautiful, Love the red tower and prints hung so beautifully. The wallpaper is beautiful! Great job everyone. Love to all ❤
The tower painting and pigeon pictures look amazing, as does the wallpapering, just lovely! Lovely vlog!
Reminds me of my mom trying to hang wallpaper in a bedroom by herself and was almost in tears when I walked in from school and told her the paper was upside down. I helped her turn it right way up and wallah it matched up she then took a Pepsi break and we finished the room together
For a moment I forgot this was video from the past and was DELIGHTED to see all those lovely folks back at Lalande!!
I loved the story about Stephanie's father cutting out an apple for the wallpaper.
It was lovely to see the first lockdown gang all together on the vlog! Great job all around 👍
Oh seeing mummy walking down the hall made me gasp! Miss you, Isabel!
I adore this channel. You all make me happy. Thank you!
I loved seeing the entrance hall and tower on Chateau DIY.
The original green was stunning!
The pigeon tower was hard to watch - precarious, and I have fear of heights. But it looks amazing - as does the wallpaper. Brilliant.
Wow the tower is incredible!!! What a great team effort!! I’ve never seen so many pigeon paintings!
I just found Stephenie's other channel and then I come upon this. Stephenie? Did God give you more than 24 hours in a day? I love seeing these and it's all beautiful!
Happy Birthday Cat! This blog really made me miss Gerald and Mummy being at the Chateau with you all. Great paint colors, pigeon portraits and wallpaper. It's all coming along quite beautifully.
I'm so happy knowing that scaffolding work was completed in the past and that you are all safe and sound now! Otherwise I would have gone crazy with worry, all the way smack across the pond in the middle of Indiana! 💗
Loved seeing Gerald and Mummy. :):) The hall looks magnifique!!
Just get off that scaffold Gerry, my nerves are on edge. The staircase looks fabulous.
There's maths involved with this project. I would be doomed. Also, did anyone consider strapping on a safety harness? Just a thought. It could turn a tragic fall into a fun swing. My stomach is still whirling from watching this.
I absolutely love that wallpaper! 😍😍😍
It’s all just SO GREAT!!!! And, oh my that scaffolding! Whew!!!! Terrific!!
Ohhhh it’s a FULL house! I love it so much!
Awww - so nice to see Tomas and Gerry again! And fantastic to finally see the work done in the Entrance Hall and Pigeon Tower!! Love it!
I love watching your progress. I am so proud of all of you. You are all unique, creative, fun people.
What a grand idea! So much planning and consideration went into this project along with some scary moments! I would have had to change my "underwear" if I were to perch myself that high! You are true risk takers.
My mum use to string small prints on ribbon for our room when we were little. Looks fabulous bought back lovely memories .
So good to see everyone again! Please do show us how the rooms look now 😊. Would love to see how the palm tree worked out... And how it is to walk up the stairs with all the pigeons on the wall 🤩.
Wow. What one has to do as a chateau owner. Vlogger. Decorator. designer. Planner. Etc . It all looks gorgeous. I would never have thought pigeons. Love the wallpaper.
OMG, How Wonderful To See Mummy, Gerry, Hash and Superb Hani, Oh just love 💕 life at LaLand , not Forgetting Salmar and Amazing Dan 👌👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thomas! and Isabelle! and Hash! and Hanni! Wow, Christmas has come early to LaLande!
Loved the colour of the pigeon tower....use of the ribbon was a brilliant idea ..supa simple and supa effective ...well done peeps xx
That tower is brilliant! It was great to see everyone again looking back. 🥰🙌
A truly beautiful job…..as usual. Excellent planning…….Excellent artful design………..great abilities Stephanie…..
What a beautiful sound to hear Mummy and Scotman voices! What excellent and beautiful decorating. Thank you for all of us not able to see the telly show. We love you!❤
I love the idea of putting all those pigeon frames in the tower. I need to find the vlog of when you bought them. That was a fun one too.
Looking forward to seeing more of Pigeon tower and the “newly” wallpapered salon. They look great! Does Hash have a chateau yet and possibly a KZread channel to go with it?
I bet Gerry gave the priest a few laughs at confession😁! So wonderful to see Mummy and some oldies. The projects were wonderful 💕
