Trumeau and Toile de Jouy, Journey to the Château de Colombe, Ep. 43

In this week's episode, Patrick and Stuart visit a shop that sells antiques in Issoudun. Patrick is finally able to make the missing curtains for the farmhouse gîte with the recent arrival of the long awaited toile de jouy fabric. They also visit two brocantes in one morning and come home with a large new addition for the chateau.
Join Patrick and Stuart on their journey to find a neglected, forgotten, or crumbling château in France, and then continue to follow them as they work on its restoration, rénovation, decoration, and furnishing. Along the way, they will also create and share videos on their preparation for having gîtes for guests, and an event venue in their chateau (wedding, birthday, anniversary, organization or club meetings, retreats, etc.).

    Funny thing is Patrick, when you were carrying that beautiful trumo thing around, kind of like a purse on your shoulder, you could not tell it was heavy. You still have that swag in your step .☺ Stuart does an excellent job keeping the camera straight and steady as he pans around. Bravo on the curtains! Love them!

Oh, and watching you sew with your Pfaff makes me want to dust off mine and get creative. Your curtains make a wonderful frame to that beautiful view. Great job! After you wrangle the summer fruit bounty, it looks like you've got a long list of winter projects in the que. Ahh, château life. Au revoir, à la prochaine.

Absolutely please do the gilding on it as it is screaming for it. The gifts your parents gave you are awesome. I know that chair will be very "swanky" as they say back home in Newfoundland. The fabric and the curtains are beautiful, as well as the lamp shades. Ooh la la! So glad you both had another lovely week, hope they keep coming. Thanks both for sharing and for the chuckles.

Of course they still look beautiful and if not drawn not a problem. Thankyou so much for the vlog again - great to see you so happy about your move 😁

    Lovely work on the curtains, I’m so impressed. If this was my choice, I would be lining them, as ultra violet kills material patterns, this would help protect them. I love the look of the copper pots too, bringing home your spoils of the day is very exciting. Still lots of work yet to do but it’s all going to look marvellous. 🥰

    You guys walked past a fainting couch, and I screamed at the screen, “stop!” so loud my cats jumped awake! Though the small child’s room upstairs might only fit one bed, a small fainting couch might fit by the window and you could actually accommodate two children, maybe three if they are small. I know you aren’t even close to doing anything with that room yet…..but I can’t help having visions for it!

    Morning Patrick & Stuart, after 2 and half hours, we are back on internet, darn these outages!!! I was just enjoying your video when blank went the screen. Oh well, my darling son is such a genius with the computer he set it all back right where I had to leave, I just exclaimed oh, oh, oh so I can just carry on. Those lamps decorated with the same fabric as you have, is that now not co-incidental or what?? I love when doing a project and everything comes together, it is such a blessing. The curtains are hanging beautifully, and I bet the chutney tasted great, when it is well cooked we can enjoy is sort of the same day, it is just for the flavours to develop. I baked a fruit Christmas cake, my husband pestered me until that cake was sliced, and then it was all over, each day we had slices and slices can't remember if I baked a second one. I do remember threatening him the years after, do no ask and do not touch. The fact is so much preparation and expense goes into the making of Festive treats, that's the only reason we hang on to it for a bit longer. Glad of you good finds at the brocante, the early bird catches the worm, so just plan and go for it. It sounds to me like you fellows are now settled in and taking each day making the best of it. Yes there are many trials and tribulations in life, but keep to yourself most of the time and avoid trouble. It is possible. Can't wait for the next video to see what is happening. Just remember wherever water is near a town the atmosphere is badly effected, it does become colder, take the good with the bad. Do take care, be alert kind regards.
