In this Friday episode, Patrick and Stuart work on the final details for the renovation and restoration of their Chateau Petit Salon. Patrick does a restoration of the antique wall light sconces for over the fireplace mantle. They also sand and refinish the original salon parquet floors using Gilboy’s Hard Wax Oil, and then install a new acquisition of a trumeau between the salon windows in its traditional location. Patrick also uses fabric that they purchased in the sales in Paris to create beautiful curtains for the Petit Salon.

You’ve got serious skills. Can’t wait for the next video when you take us through the whole process.
My goodness those floors with the hard wax on them look amazing. the curtains are so beautiful. I've made curtains in the past and found it great to watch you measure, sew and iron.
So lovely how everything came together. And those curtains! Makes you want to wrap yourself in them 😊 I have to say, my favorite floors on youtube are at Chateau de Colombe! Great job guys ❤
Absolutely beautiful curtains ! ❤ the floor is beautiful !❤ Both of you are so inspirational. Love your videos !❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful
I think I heard Angels sing when the curtains went up. Bravo!
Love the wall paper and your wall lights good job guys
Everything just absolutely turned out beautiful, with all of your hard work. Judging from on-screen, the Gilboy's appears to both preserve the age and enhance the original color of the wood. It does not make it look new, but as lovingly cared for old wood. (I hope I am making sense!) "Everything is fixable…" I hope you are not tempting Fate!!
Exquisite taste!
Definitely a labor of love!
Love the curtains. But light still comes in. I assume since this is not a bedroom that you don’t need to completely cover the windows. Is this the case?
love the curtains!!!
I love the paint colour with the wall paper coupled with the curtains, simply fab!
Vivian’s tour of your chateau was excellent.😊
Stunning choice of curtains I told you before this is one of my favourite room in the chateau
Great job guys 😘❤
Hug xx
Damask curtains look stunning! In fact whole room now coming together!
Well done all
Xx
Yes Patrick I understand about not wanting to cut the fabric till you are sure! My Mum always did 1 & 1/2 widths which you might consider for thicker fabrics. The room is looking absolutely beautiful. You guys are so talented xx love from Carmel in Australia
As a fellow sewer I can only say “Bravo”
I don’t sew, but I do know that matching the pattern on two curtains is very important. If it’s not it’s comparable to unmatched wallpaper. You are quite talented at making perfect curtains! The room is beautiful! 😃
Oh so beautiful. You two are amazing
Patrick and Stuart, you do such an amazing job on your renovations! Having been there, and seeing the before, it makes the after even more stunning! The petit salon is perfect! PS, after tonight’s night shift, I’m back to working half time. 😃
Love everything
About that recent
Room, like the
Others😊😊
Hi Patrick and Stuart it looks lovley lots of hard work but well worth it for the end result but can’t I just suggest investing in a pair of knee pads especially as it probably won’t be the last floor you do in the chateau but well done
SO beautiful! Patrick, you make me want to learn how to sew.
Great job, gentlemen.
The floors and the curtains really turned out nice. Beautiful fabric. No, not anyone can do what you guys do. It is truly amazing 😍 Looking forward to seeing the finished product 😀
I like to use a blind hem on my curtains. After a good press you don’t see any hems. I’m not sure if your machine will do that but you might consider it for next time. Beautiful!
I admire both of you for this challenging work you have done recently it is showing the hard work you put in but with love for the chateau since I have been watching the progress what a lovely curtains floors garden fantastic job beautiful Chateau take care see you both bye
Beautiful job on the curtains, Patrick, and the floors! Love the fabric. Great camera work, Stuart.
I catch all of Vivienne’s posts. She is amazing. 🤗🤗
💜💙💚
It's so beautiful! I am not really a fan of wallpaper, but that green wallpaper is breathtaking! I love your channel!
Beautiful curtains!
Those curtains 😍 and those wall lights are beautiful! You guys have worked so hard!! ❤❤❤
Looks amazing ❤ Great Job 👍
Wow, I'm just seeing your video now Patrick and Stuart…had company staying. You two are a marvel! I've been watching your progress on your beautiful Chateau since almost the beginning and what a transformation! Those curtains, the floor, that you just completed Patrick…superb! Stuart, you have captured every moment and the music you choose, 'just fits'! I'm looking forward to seeing the video showing how the Petit Salon all came to be from the beginning to the end.
Fantastic ❤❤
