THE TWO SIDES OF CHATEAU LIFE!

Whilst I create vignette's based on Chateau Life for Christie's in New York, the Lalanders at home get on with the real nitty-gritty of chateau living, digging holes for the pergola posts, and building a new chicken coop for our adorable chickens...

To see more beautiful furniture and objets d'arts from Christie's, check out their YouTube channel, @christies

A huge thank you to Omlet for sending us the gloriously luxurious Lenham chicken coop - our chickens will be very happy! To find out more about Omlet's range of chicken coops, click here:

Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰

We share our life in this ancient chateau in the heart of the French countryside, and show you the diy, renovations, crafts, cooking and gardening that are needed to bring a home like this to life!

A very special thank you to all of you who have become Patrons of the Chateau de Lalande. You have made The Chateau Diaries one of the top 400 Patreon accounts in the world, and have transformed not only our lives here, but the future of this beautiful chateau! I’m overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity. On behalf of this beautiful chateau that will continue to survive and flourish because of you, thank you!!!

The last young girl worker talking with Stephanie is so lovely and friendly, just like the first two were. I think Christie’s must hire people for their personality as well as intelligence and knowledge. Stephanie did a fabulous job with the vignettes

Stephanie, your cousin is a fast mover - he doesn't waste any time - such a hard worker.

[TheSassy]

Oh, PLEASE let the cousin keep digging out in the hot sun! Some of the best “landscaping” the chateau has ever seen!

[TWROC]

I love how the Lalanders tease each other and how each of their skill sets compliment each other. People's humor and strong work ethic make an amazing team and "family".
Side note- That wallpaper is absolutely beautiful.

I vote to paint the henhouse the same pinky cream as the chateau with the same blue as the shutters on the roof and doors.😊

The chicken coop is very cute and will definately need waterproof protection. Seal the every screw head before painting or oiling otherwise the water 'will' work its way through and it will leak and become damp very quickly. I would also move it more into the sun so it stays as dry as possible so the chickens don't develop respiratory problems.

Stephanie, you should absulotely let Nati film at Lalande, every time you are travelling! So nice 😁

[barbaralemere]

Great job at Christie's Stephanie! Great job at home LaLanders!

[jannevils]

Stephanie, I loved seeing your vignettes at Christie’s they were exquisite! I loved seeing Phillip helping as well. Your bubbly personality is always shining bright as the sun! I love and admire you! Love from South, Louisiana. Au Revoir!

Who needs television when you have the magical Stephanie!
A truly wonderful Vlog, thank you. 🙏🏻🙋‍♂️

[katrinatoland]

You have done your mother and father proud Stephanie XXX Thankyou and Philip XXX

[middlebury]

your talent for whimsey just shines in those Christie's vignettes, huge success.

[deborahgodley]

Beautiful design of the vignettes for Christie's, Stephanie.Phillip must have been in heaven with the table settings! The juxtaposition of the chicken coop build with the vignettes being created in NYC was hilarious.The blue and white carpet at the bottom of the chicken coop was hilarious! I think a little chandelier SHOULD go in there😂😂😂

Jacqueline writing - "you've got Christies on speed dial now" that's our Stephanie - fabulous video - such contrast

[charleswalker]

Irish furniture is some of the most magical furniture..

[heathercave]

Stunning rooms, the beautiful items complement, I can’t wait to see the photos; while back at home, Dan and his digger, your digging cousin making shutters, Natie filming, and the star of the video Kirstie making the chicken coop. So so wonderful all the way around!

[zenaslarosa]

Oh Stephanie you are just amazing with your never ending talent, this time creating vignettes for Christie’s. One learns something everyday and from you is just wonderful. I feel I am living in a chateau myself but in a small way in my little house here in the Philippines. Thank you very much, as ever you brought some joy and content in my life with your vlogs..

[josephinedavidson]

As well as everyone in your family !!! Plus a world of admirers x well done and more to come I’m sure xx

[joskelton]

Love the banter between Dan & Amaury, two great workers

[scarlettblue]

Stephanie, your Dad would be very proud of you. Brilliant job with the vignettes.
