THANKSGIVING Triumphs, LOUIS XVI Upholstery & Porcelain MADNESS @TheChateauDiaries 🏰 💖

We kick off the holidays early at the Chateau de Lalande for a real American Thanksgiving! Cooking, laughing, beauty & friends...what could be better? The work continues in the Primary Bedroom at our chateau with lots of new DIY: the complete restoration of a Louis XVI salon, including two chairs that used to belong to Lalande! Can Simon be turned into a porcelain-obsessed fanatic like Philip? We take him to the Reynaud porcelain outlet shop in Limoges to find out. And, we finally can offer more antique and vintage jewelry...just in time to sparkle and shine for the holidays! #thanksgiving #chateau #chateaulife #chateaudiy #vintagejewelry 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!
