DIY 18th Century TRUMEAU MIRROR 🌟 French CHATEAU BEDROOM RENOVATION & Christmas REVEAL! 🏰 💖

A touch of Versailles in our chateau bedroom and a first look at our custom Christmas ornaments! Step back in time with us as we create an authentic and magnificent 18th-century French trumeau mirror completely from scratch — one of the perfect touches for our French chateau bedroom renovation!🪞✨ In this video, we’ll walk you through every step of the process and explain its importance for chateau decor. What exactly is a Trumeau Mirror? We'll show you our design inspiration and woodworking techniques, to the gilding, painting and distressing that give the mirror that timeless Louis XVI charm. Plus, I’ll be sharing a sneak peek at something very special I’ve been working on! 🎄After months of planning and sourcing, I’ve designed our own custom, handmade chateau-inspired Christmas ornaments, and they’ll be available soon. I’ll show you how I created them in this video. They’ll be perfect for adding a touch of French elegance to your holiday décor! Whether you’re restoring a period home, decorating in French country style, or just love elegant DIY projects, we hope this video will inspire you to bring a piece of the 18th century and some chateau-style into your own home. SHOP Art, Gifts, Original Photographs, Bags, and Antique & Vintage Jewelry: www.chateau-love.com ABOUT US: Bonjour! I’m Vivienne, an artist, designer, antique & vintage jewelry dealer, and also the châtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful husband, Simon, our daughter, and —whenever possible— lovely friends and family. This is not our first chateau! 25 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, after 2 decades, many happy memories, countless renovations, and several small fortunes later, we made the very difficult, empty-nesting decision to downsize. With great luck and perseverance, we found our current petit château, which we are now decorating and updating with love, humour, comfort, and —of course— antiques and art! We adore France and its many unique facets: its people, culture, landscapes, wine, food, art, and history. We also love being surrounded by châteaux, both public and private, which we can explore together! After 20 years here, we have learned many things about living in France, renovating châteaux, and appreciating the extraordinary riches surrounding us. We originally decided to make these videos as a way to share our lives with our loved ones worldwide during the pandemic lockdowns. However, we soon realised that many others are at home alone, and it is our privilege to open our home to you, our new friends. We hope you will join us on our adventures in this exceptional location, and we look forward to sharing a little Château Love!
