    "To drill down through multiple floors and entresols" That's what I call getting your hands dirty! Amazing commitment and patience to make sure everything is done right.
  • @jrosesftv
    Only you two could have taken on this project, with all the government funding and bureaucracy, and the perseverance to get it done. Managing both is an exceptional feat. Good for you.
  • @megbond
    For someone who hasn't done restorations in the past, you're doing an incredible job! A stunning triumph!
  • Felicity, you are becoming one of the artisans who you praise so highly.
  • @donaldprice9569
    Two years doesn't seem that long when you stand back and observe the stunning end result. Slow and steady wins the race. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!

    Our Olympians aren't the only Aussies doing us proud over in France!! I love seeing your achievements with this wonderful chateau and what a wonderful video this week. Only up 12 minutes and I had to watch before bed! Thankyou guys for sharing the journey. 🇦🇺 🇫🇷 ❤
  • @emmawalgrave1123
    wow, wow, wow, I have no words! The room is so stunning. It gives me so much joy to see the chateau thriving under your care. Thank you for saving her!
  • That was 22 minutes of smiling, which is the best way to start a Monday morning. Magnificent outcome. Who else wants to leap into the bubble bath and while away an hour looking at the view and the room?
  • @MadonnaMead
    The wallpaper is exquisite. Beautiful finish. Hope the next ensuite doesn’t take 2 years for you Flick!!!
  • Seeing you sitting on that beautiful blue chair, gazing at what you have achieved, must have been a very satisfying experience…..and so well deserved. Even your dog seemed to agree. Congratulations!

    You can see we are hanging out for your updates - 900 odd views in 20 minutes!

    I used to help an uncle in my younger years with his tenement houses restoring apartments that were lathe and horse hair plaster and it was quite the task and mess. Nothing on the scale of what you are doing but it gave me an appreciation for this type of work and the skills I acquired on the way. Repointing and glazing windows, rehanging doors after squaring frames, electrical and plumbing sweating pipe. Everything is plastic now you can hardly find anyone to do these things. Skills I have passed on to my children so they don’t have to call a guy. Such a project as this would be too much for me now physically but I really enjoy watching these videos. Takes me back some 40 yrs

    A clever blend of the original and an original fine art contemporary design. To lie soaking in that bath with the view out the window - who is ever going to leave that beautiful bathroom?
  • Flick you are a fantastic orator. Thank you for sharing your beautiful bathroom. Just stunning ❤
  • @charc9009
    Each room completed shows what the château once was and what it will be again. I can’t imagine the feeling you have seeing the progress. It’s stunning!
  • @rvaprep
    The transformation of the room is stunning. It’s light and airy with attention to the history of the chateau. Bravo !! Take care, Ralph Rocchiccioli
  • @jezkemp712
    Only 202 years left... Congratulation's on an amazing reno!
  • The room is beautiful. Your patience is commendable. Thank you for bringing us along with you.
  • @CynthiaBerry713
    I get goosebumps when I see these befores and afters, and hearing the glee in your voice brings it all together! I'm so happy for you!
  • @hrep14
    That room has really got its classic French elegance back.
