The more and more the master bedroom was finished the more sad I felt because I felt like the videos may come to end. This video just shows us that you have years worth of content left to shoot, and we all look forward to it.

That second part to the attic would make a stunning library, reading room. Open beams, comfortable chairs low level warm lights, and just a few thousand books...

[carlygrace]

I appreciate the openness of showing us your home. Everyone has that dump room/space. There’s no such thing as perfection. Your home is beautiful. The craftsmanship is stunning. Can’t wait to see more of your projects!

[makewayforthebuster]

Oh, my word! Who thinks you’re slow? You’ve done so much work in the chateau AND are raising two beautiful girls.

[Broc]

No one should be embarrassed by being honest. You and your family are precious to all of us. Messy is a good thing because it means it is your home instead of a house. We love you for being you.

YOUR HONESTY is refreshing. In the age of social media we always see the highlight reel, never the "real life" behind the scenes. Why anyone would complain about the pace of your removed/renovation is beyond me. It is not their money, time or business. You are doing an amazing job.

[evapatterson-vfcs]

Don’t be so hard on yourselves! Any rich person can hire designers, workers and purchase furniture but most people, especially with young families, need time and money to have their homes evolve over time. I enjoy your sense of humour, your creativity and your decorative style in your chateau. To me, it’s the balance between the historical building, current needs and you personal creative style that comes through in your chateau. And I like it!

[linshannon]

I'm so shocked there are those who complain about your renovations being slow. I've been utterly charmed from your first posting until now, and I don't see that changing any time soon. I absolutely love the work:life balance you embody, and especially love the care and time you take to make each decision the right one. This was a wonderful tour of the chateau, and so easy to see how very much work has gone into the renovations you've already done.

[joannasmith]

The range with the tiles in the kitchen is a dream. It is so fitting for the chateau.

[Mej_Javiky]

Anna and Philip, what you call messy and embarrassing others call normal. You guys are holding yourself to a higher standard. You have a lovely and beautiful home, and an even more lovely and beautiful family and that is all that really counts. In the years to come, when you look back, you will not remember that the girls room did not have curtains, or the attic was not sorted, but you WILL remember the fun adventures you had sailing or traveling to Italy.

[joellenmeek]

I absolutely love your aesthetic - the rooms are so fresh and non-fussy. I think the attic space is wonderful. The high beamed ceiling is something I’ve dreamed of.

[christa]

Thank you for your honesty. In a world full of "instaperfect" updates and renos, it is refreshing to see someone brave enough to pull back the curtain and show the reality, and thus ground the viewer and prove we are not all that different.

[DLRTraynorCoberly]

What I like about your chateau is that you keep each room matching. No contrasting patterns to assault the vision. Everything is calm and beautiful. You’re renovating and that’s okay. A work in progress.

[magpiesmith]

So many YouTube channels come across as perfect and unrealistic! You have shown us how down to earth you are and how we all can relate to you. This makes your channel special ❤❤❤. Thanks!😊

[maurawhelan]

Your taste Anna is gorgeous. I cannot decide what I like best…the boot room is so lovely with your wallpaper. Going white was absolutely the right decision. Showcases your paper beautifully. Kitchen is beautiful. And what I like so much about your style is you let the features of the house be front and center. Subtle wonderful walls not overdone by patterns. One of the most serene Chateaus…so enjoyable.

[easternkiwiz]

What I love about your Chateau is that is is very light and bright. All of the rooms seem to have great natural light with plenty of windows.

[annce]

You two should be so proud of what you’ve done. The completed rooms are completed to the top quality and are stunning. My husband and I were lucky enough to stay in your chateau before you “closed the Inn”. We loved it. I secretly hope you open the bed and breakfast sometime in the future.

[hollyjacobs]

Thanks for not being fake. The magic is your family, your friends, and the moments you create.

[SRM_NZ]

for under the coffee machine...go to the landscape shop and buy a marble, granite, travertine paver...cut to size and you're done

[GayleRussell]

I absolutely love, love your minimalist style. It's so relaxing and calm compared to other chateaux that are too cluttered and chaotic. Don't change!
