We finally REVEAL the Decadent Château Trois Cloches Salon! With piano and chandelier restoration.🏰
Finally, we reveal the Salon in all it's glory. We cover a lot in this video so you're in for a right treat so grab a cup of tea/coffee or glass of wine and enjoy the journey with us:
- Jolyon restores and installs a french Empire style Ballon chandelier found in Yorkshire of all places!
- We try our hands at a bit of gold leafing on the ceiling.
- We choose a curtain fabric, and then hang the beautiful curtains.
- Unboxing of a new stunning french armchair.
- Behind the scenes footage of dressing the room for Channel 4's Chateau DIY.
- Follow our roller coaster journey moving the heaviest piano before we deep clean and tune this beautiful 19th Century Pleyel Piano (with special thanks to Emily for coming to our rescue).
- And finally, the finished result with lots of detailed shots to show off the hardwork.
We received some incredibly generous gifts for the transformation of this stunning room. Do check these companies out as they have some incredible products. Huge thanks and credit to:
Paint - Mylands, Bond Street
Floor Varnish and Stain - Mylands, Light Oak Stain and Satin Varnish
Curtains - Sewing House, Forbidden Forest, Sapphire
Large Green Lamp - CP Lighting & Interiors, Teisha Surealist Motif Lamp
Tables - Olivia's, Highgate Side Tables
If you enjoyed the video please give it a like, it really helps ☺️
You can also follow us on Instagram or Facebook - @ChateauTroisCloches, where we show lots of current projects and snippets into our life at The Chateau. 🏰
For every view, and additional subscriber, it means we earn extra revenue from KZread, which goes directly back into the renovations so it really does help! As you can imagine, restoring beautiful old buildings is not cheap and we have had to be creative to fund this crazy project, but so far, we think, it's been worth it!! *
This project has been followed by Château DIY is a spin off show of Escape to the Château - the popular show with Dick and Angel.
A bit about us - We are Chris (the tall one) and Jolyon (the less tall one). We met working at the Foreign Office, and got married in another Château south of Paris in 2018. We have both always separately had a dream of living in a Château, so it was a match made in heaven. We also have our gorgeous St Bernard, Bo, - she loves Château Trois Cloches, and can regularly be seen working in the garden, digging, or moving branches for us. The end goal is to have a beautiful venue available for big groups to hire, or the perfect location for a wedding! We try to capture as much of the renovations as possible for KZread, so do follow along to see the transformation. We are big believers in bold o design, which fits with the Chateau's Belle Époque era. Château Trois Cloches translates to Castle of 3 Bells.

In a word, elegant. I love how you treated the ceiling medallion.
Love your design style, it's a little bit modern, a little bit traditional and a little bit eclectic which is what makes you guys different. Beautiful job guys.

Thanks we were worried about getting the right balance between being sympathetic to the property’s age but also a little modern too!
I think golden stenciling in the center of the chandelier boss or even all solid gold in that center circle would help balance the visual weight of the light fixture. Beautiful room.
Looks beautiful! The blue hues in the curtains marry well with the wall color. Just stunning! ❤
It looks fabulous! Definitely the right choice of fabric for the curtains and the chandelier looks amazing. Well done.x

I think the room looks stunning , i have seen others do a similar colour but they have not dressed the room as good as u 2 have . Love the Old piano too . And i love how u stripped the door back and left it wood , not painted it dark . And the curtains too are perfect . 😊

Subscribed to your channel. The salon just looks fantastic. Just a tip about the piano. It must stand or "rest" for at least a month before tuning. So if it was less than that, it needs a final tuning. What is next up for renovation? Just love the old record player with the trumpet speaker. Have one just like that. Hope you have records to play. Do so every day LOL. The sound makes it very special. Enjoy your house!
Love the chandelier, curtains, color of the room. What a beautiful piano 🎹 ❤Well done 😍😘

Love the room! Now you know why the piano was given away for nothing! - it is a well known fact that piano’s are SO heavy that once people find them surplus to their requirements, they are unable to sell them and they are expensive to have carted away for disposal so they are happy for ANYONE to just take them away. 😂
Really enjoyed that....u guys are such hard workers ...with fab taste 💚

All the hard work and drudgery has paid off handsomely, with a lovely regal salon you should be proud of. It must feel wonderful to check one of the major rooms off of your to-do list. Well done! But, 😊oh my, the risk of permanently damaging your vertebrae should not be underestimated. An injury like that would impact both your futures and your chateau renovation plans. Please don't take such a risk again.

WONDERFUL, effort...including the piano! Wow! A good decorator once said, "less is more"! A friendly suggestion, remove all the peculiar art faces, pillows, strange lamp bases. These rooms should look curated, not rushed/filled in. Elevate items with books in time worn manner! Take advantage of the height. Put back the square table, for cards or games. Find a companion fabric for pillows. Find a tall mirror for above the fireplace. Locate a trolly/cart for drinks. TAKE your TIME! Locate an alternate coffee table. Keep searching! It will all come together!
