We Bought An Abandoned Chateau, Full 2022 Renovation Timelapse, THEN & NOW!

Join us in taking a look back at everything we have achieved this year! 2022 has been full of ups and downs, steps forwards and steps backwards, but as a whole we have made so much progress!!
This main focus this year has been on finishing the dining room, doing the majority of the salon and beginning the utility room! The salon has been a long and slow progress, but we are so happy with how it has turned out and we cannot wait to see it finished.

Thank you so much for joining us in 2022, and we hope to see you all in 2023!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Best wishes,
The Chateau de la Ferte Family x

I love how you guys restored it instead of destroying by making it "modern" beautiful! its not often you have a house that's just a work of art like that!

[debbyf]

I know I've said this before, but these two chateau owners are the most honest, and hard working people on YouTube!! So, come on folks, if you watch show them some love and hit that like button. Happy Christmas to all.

Every time I see people willing to put their hearts and wallet into a disregarded French chateau, I’m just so grateful for that little part of our national heritage. Thank you for such a conscientious and thoughtful work.

I am at a total loss for words. I have never seen a Chateau remodeled this stunning. Hats off to all of you that worked so hard to bring this breathtaking renovation above and beyond its original build. Wow !! Unbelievable !!

[andrewkensington]

Can you imagine if the original owners could see the time, sweat and love you have put into this house. Just imagine how happy and proud they would be of you!

[janwilletts]

What an amazing amount of work, even when you had Covid you carried on. I’d forgotten about all the outside work in the hot weather! Fabulous attention to detail and love your determination to see it through, you truly have a vision. That old chateau must feel truly loved !

[Engelhafen]

It’s not just the amount of work but the incredible attention to minute detail - applaud yourself for all the hard labor you both do. Not a lot of people could do that.

I am so glad that there are people in France and England, who are buying up these beautiful old buildings and fixing them up. I have so much respect for you because it’s not an easy job and you’ve done it beautifully. I wish that you could stay there and work everything out but thank you for doing what you’re doing to save this building.❤❤❤

[CMNC]

I actually cried watching all the care taken by these two. Some artists are content with a small canvas. Not Adrian & Carole! BRAVO!!!! 💖

[elainegelina]

You two are a wonderful team. Adrian can repair & rebuild anything & Beth, your attention to detail is unbelievable. This chateau is going to be one of the best.

I haven’t finished the video yet, but can no longer restrain myself . The wonderful things you are doing in order to be so authentic in retrieving this lovely building, are truly miraculous . Recreating wallpaper patterns, saving the damaged plaster, and anointing everything with gold . I love that you are saving the past and making that special building come alive again . This is in fact a real service you are performing, as well as showing us that many of our limitations, are self imposed . May you live a joyful full life .

[LeeaAnne]

It's strangely emotional when you see the old restored and brought back to life.❤

[michelleb]

The transformation over the year is amazing. Your hard work and attention to detail is bringing the chateau alive and back to its former glory. Congratulations!

[aviatrix.]

Having renovated several old (not as old as yours!) houses, I'm aware that a project like this is its own form of insanity. I admire your persistence! Looking at all that gold leaf and the printed wallpaper to match the old, not only did the project require a LOT of work and persistence, it clearly cost a pretty penny. Congratulations!

[TomoyoTatar]

This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time! It feels like you made something worthy of this house; I’m very sure the former owners would be proud to call this their home. It’s always amazing to see when someone takes up such a project and restores such a beautiful home to its former glory. 😊❤

[jammonper]

This Chateau is smiling and extremely grateful that all of you are bring her back to life! She is and will always be magnificent!

[ellenbirmingham]

Bravo - bravo!! Adrian & Carole - you both deserve a standing ovation! Your support and respect for each other, tenacity and faith in your talents have proved you can take on such a daunting challenge as restoring a long-forgotten chateau. It will be a jewel in France:)

[GrandmaSharon]

Kudos to Beth for putting together a video showing all your fun, hard work, accomplishments & beauty of the Chateau! Carole & Adrien your teamwork, humor, patience have just added to the enjoyment of seeing how such hard work, artistic skills, and perseverance have brought your Chateau to an incredible place. Thank you for allowing us to join you on your journey! Have a fun, restful & enjoyable holiday with family & friends. Merry Christmas!

[stephaniewilliams]

I watch all the chateau shows on YouTube, and I must say, you two take the prize for MOST ACCOMPLISHED IN ONE YEAR! (And it’s usually just the two of you!) BRAVO! It all looks incredible! Can’t wait to see what magic you create in 2023!

[Brembelia]

I love it when these buildings are renovated, restored, and preserved. We will never see the likes of them again once they are gone. They are so visually rewarding as compared to the overpriced rubbish being built today.

Full-on kudos to this couple for their hard work and perseverence. It's amazing what they have accomplished. Their legacy is stellar. 🎉🎉🎉
