Join us, Daphne and Ian, as we embark on our new chateau renovation projects! This week, we complete the nursery room walls with beautiful art nouveau wallpaper and accompany Daphne's grandmother on a trip through Provence...
Our "beau chateau" (The 500-year-old, Chateau De Lesigny), is located near Paris, France. Most of the structures around the chateau domain need a full restoration, so we are investing everything we have into making the property thrive! We are learning more about french culture and developing new skills along the way!
As a French/American UC Berkeley graduate in Agriculture (Daphne), and a U.S. Air Force Tactical Response Force Veteran/ Kinesiologist (Ian), we share a love for challenges and adventure. We have a long road ahead of us and we are excited to share the experience with you!

this week we paint and wallpaper our
Nursery moldings and we explore provance
with my
[Music]
grandmother when Dy and I started this
project we wanted to do it on the cheap
basically because this is the smallest
room in the Chateau we were trying to
use materials that we had try to recycle
that have just been laying around so
that we can like not throw things away
and be wasteful and the colors are
not no this this paint when it's wet
looks like a nice pistachio green when
it's dry it looks
lime GRE puke Li stop saying puke puke
is gross and it doesn't look like puke
it looks lime green it's the lime that
we don't like it looks like mint
toothpaste no mint toothpaste is
nice whatever this color is it's not
good
[Music]
Bigfoot I'm pretty sure I saw him one
time when I was backpacking
[Music]
okay so what is this snail juice that
you're
applying we're just applying the glue so
that we can put some wallpaper on but
because these are external
walls and they do get quite a bit of
humidity we are putting like a
waterproofing humidity proofing layer
first
that will help the wallpaper not bubble
if we do get humidity during the winter
which is pretty much a given
yeah
cool good
[Music]
[Applause]
y the sky is on
[Music]
fire oh the ocean
yet to cross I'm so tired I'm so
tired waiting
wa the sky is on
[Music]
fire that's nice that's really
[Music]
sweet not bad
[Music]
kiss Chase Kick the Can long ways from
machine tell High why put me
[Music]
down the sky is on
[Music]
fire oh the oceans yet to gross so tired
so
tired waiting waiting for the B to drop
the kiss Chase Kick the Can long way
[Music]
this is why it's important not to throw
away your scraps until the very end
because this piece fits almost
perfectly we really wanted to do
something that was a little art noo but
still cute for nursery space and this
wallpaper was just the perfect fit for
that we found a really nice yellow paint
for the walls that'll match the flowers
perfectly and I think it'll just make
the space more harmonious because the
neon white is a little intense now yeah
it's like a dentist office
yeah what's this paint color called
beige Dune beige Dune mhm so now this
Nursery room can be called a
racus every time a baby cries will scoop
up their tear and be like don't waste
the water
[Music]
when we came in here with the old paint
I walked in and immediately I was like I
don't feel good about what we've done no
me neither but now I'm like I want to
show everybody what we've done
yeah what's the point of renovating if
you're not going to do something that
you're going to be in love with every
summer my grandmother leaves Paris to
visit the south of France and she always
invites us to join her this year we plan
to visit a few new Villages along the
way so the three of us and our cat
Charlie packed into her little French
car for a beautiful drive through
Prov don't know what to expect but wan
to get it right I just wanna be
happyy with
me oh
oh oh
[Music]
oh one of the first things you'll see
when driving through poal are the
incredible Lavender
Fields there are over 60,000 Acres of
Lavender in this region
alone I'm just realizing yeah how many
bees I thought they were flies I've been
swatting them off this whole time but
we're standing in a field not just of
lavender but a field of
bees they're making honey that's the
lavender honey that you
[Music]
left we continued up the mountain to a
place called t t also known as The
Village in the
[Music]
sky
[Music]
wow we made it to T we are 3,000 ft in
elevation and we've been driving uphill
for a really long
time and I wasn't totally sure our car
was going to make it no
[Music]
[Applause]
it's like a cat doesn't like
water it's a very Charming little town
though beautiful beautiful
[Music]
views so we finally made it to almost
the
top and I haven't been able to find it
but somewhere there's a moon door that
lady Lia likes to use for her victims
but uh the area is actually owned and
run by John Aaron who uh unfortunately
has been slain and we believe it's by
the Lannisters but we're not entirely
sure there's not enough evidence yet
[Music]
getting there Charlie we're almost there
[Music]
Charlie our next Landmark is the
beautiful goo a massive Lake surrounded
by
Cliffs we were excited to Voyage up the
river but my grandmother decided to pass
on the
adventure there's a few pedestrians in
the
road yes Mo around it's actually just
like driving in
[Music]
Paris I'm pushing 100% to the right
right now I believe you're pushing 100%
I don't believe you're pushing to the
right cuz we are going straight into
oncoming
traffic who needs a gym when you can
just drive
several hours to the south of France and
rent a boat for an
hour we do that 10 to 12 times a week
and you'll get
ripped we continued driving into the
Alps of pral until we finally reached
the village nestled between two large
rock
formations mus Samari
[Music]
musier is listed as one of the most
beautiful Villages of France and it's
easy to see why with stunning views and
a natural river that runs through the
center of town it feels like something
out of a fairy tale mus Samari has a
pretty sweet tradition they actually
have been hanging a star at the top of
their town for centuries now and it is
in the name of a crusader who they've
vowed that if the Crusader came back to
the town that they would put a star in
his name and they've been holding this
tradition since the early 1200s
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
every week The Village hosts a market
with local produce and provincial crafts
the mountain goat cheeses and fresh
olives are too good to pass
[Music]
up the cute little store fronts carry
artisanal Ceramics made from traditional
methods using Earth stone and
[Music]
[Music]
wood the local antique shops also had a
few surprises
[Music]
what did you find
Ian okay well I got a set of
12 like 1950s French espresso mugs
pretty cool those are great and the best
part a vintage french comic with the
X-Men and what's great they don't call
it Marvel Comics they call it strange
strange
Comics he just gave this to me for free
that's
[Music]
awesome we finally made it to our last
stop on the French Riviera
[Music]

something my grandmother and I look
forward to throughout the year it's our
most cherished time together
