We Bought An Abandoned Chateau, THEN & NOW, 2 YEAR Renovation (in 20 minutes) Timelapse.

I love the fact that you kept the heart of the chateau alive. You didn’t restore it to a modern home. You kept the essence of that amazing architecture, and made it a home again. c’est juste magnifique!!

You can almost hear the sigh of relief from the house that it has been healed from inside out, beautiful job!

Holy, I can’t believe you guys remodeled the castle only by family members, only spend 2 years! YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE GENIUS! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊❤

This old house thanks you for bringing life back to her majestic presence. Beautiful job.

From the moment this channel began, I have been here. Through the back breaking work, the disappointments, tears and struggles...there was something else that rose far above this. The determination, love, smiles, encouragement and family. The pain staking details on every single job, just that perfect piece to make it all come together, that hue of paint or stain that changed the entire room or piece. The incredible talent of each member of the family came together in unison every single day of the last 2 years. THIS is how you renovate a chateau!!!!❤ Standing ovation!!!!!👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

It’s nearly impossible to fathom the daunting renovations that stood before you just two years ago, and how much the four of you and Jonathan have accomplished. You had a handful of wonderful volunteers and family help along the way, but none of you could ever be accused of laziness, that’s for sure. Imagine what the chateau will be in the next two years. Congratulations!! xx

That final shot, magnificent! Watching this, I could almost feel the place weeping with joy at being saved. Say what you want about today's youth, but these young people prove that there are some that appreciate the old and aren't afraid to work to restore it to it's former glory. Congratulations to you.

I love how tenderly the paneling was removed, repaired, then rehung.

What struck me the most with this video, besides how far you’ve all come in your DIY efforts, is the immense amount of editing that it took to make the video itself. And your music was perfect!! Awesome job!

At the end, I cried. Y’all brought life back into this place. Thank you for restoring this beauty.

Buying a chateau is a very tempting idea, but really it is for those that can do a lot of the work themselves or have a very generous disposal income to do the restoration. I really admire all of those that adventured themselves to buy this properties that have been abandoned for so many years and put so much hard work in bringing them back to life. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us! ❤

So inspiring! I have no excuse for not fixing up my 7 room abode the way I would like it to be. Thank you for sharing your experiences!!!

The amount of work y’all have done in just two years is astounding 👏❤️

This dropped into my feed today. This is just amazing! I love that old things are made beautiful and useful again. Tremendous job.

It looks like Cinderella’s Chateau. It’s very satisfying, how you brought the beauty back to it’s life. And you tried everything just to make everything the same as it was. Kudos to your team!

Greetings from the United States. I've watched your videos from day one. I thought I would go back and watch this time lapse video from a year ago to get a bit of perspective. All I can say is, Wow, wow and WOW!!! This brought tears to my eyes. You are an amazing, talented and hard working family and this extraordinary chateau renovation is the absolute proof of that. Well done to you all.

Got to say your completed rooms are so so stylish & welcoming, not stuffy. Perfect fabric choices. Absolutely loved the bathroom. You nailed it all ! (literally)

An amazing family!!!! The world needs people like you, so capable , talented , hard working and considerate and loving working with dogged determination amidst much love and kindness.maybe trade schools, and not Uni would be my advice to all young . Do yourselves a favour couch potatoes -you can get up and contribute to yourself and fix and find happiness. Am so filled with admiration for you❤

Repurposing the materials in the chateau was cost effective. My favorite parts were the wood staining, the dogs, and discovering the potential the chateau had in becoming a home. Fantastic Restoration.

"Renovation" for such a gem would be "vandalization" în my view. I'm so glad that you took great pain in restoring it to its glory days, with care and heart.
