Curious what our life is like when we’re not in France? This one’s for you! it’s a snapshot of Austin, Texas: our house, our favorite food spots, roller derby, and a crawfish boil! We’ll also show you our recent DIY laundry room makeover, including Patrick’s porcelain tile installation (a practice run for tiling our entryway in Amboise).

If you love fixing up old houses, chateau renovation, old home transformation, DIY projects, finding antiques, and all things French, come along on our adventure! We’re an American couple renovating a maison bourgeoise (chateau charm on a small scale) in the historic city center of Amboise, in the Loire Valley of France.

Are you planning to stay living in the USA or are you planning to go from one to the other or permanently move to France?
Your laundry room turned out spectacular; all the work paid off. I’ve never been to Texas so it was interesting to see that Austin is much like the NW without the mountains. 😂 Watching the tile removed and the new installed properly was interesting until that black chalk was smeared all over! Glad to see it came off and you now won’t have to worry about dirty-looking chalking as so many people do. I used to LOVE rollerskating the Venice and Santa Monica boardwalks. I still have my Chicago Skates knowing full well I will never use them again. 😢 One fractured hip just going for a walk on a flat sidewalk is one too many. 😂
Roller Derby! You've turned up the dial on your cool factor! Maybe you start up an Amboise league?
Your laundry room turned out great, love the tiles and meeting your scruffy little dude ❤
I moved from Austin last year. I do miss HEB!
Hello from a Houston fan. I love watching your projects both in France and in Austin. New tile is so much better. Isn't the heat fun this summer?
Thanks for sharing your Austin laundry room makeover. Such a hadyman. Your dog ìs sooo cute. Also enjoyed glimpses of your hometown and your passtimes there. Looking forward to your next.
The laundry room turned out fantastic. Love me a good boil, you all had me drooling 🤤
What a great change to your laundry room. I would have loved to see you cleaning up that black grout 🤪. Must have been a huge job. Floor looks great❤️
Those tiles made such a beautiful difference! Good work! You are a good team.
You have the best of both worlds going on. Jojo looks so cute!😊
Thanks for sharing your life in Austin. It’s fun to see how you live when not in France. Keep up the great videos
I´ve been to Austin when I lived in McAllen..loved it. Now I am in my native Berlin, planing to move to the south of France.love your Videos 🙂
You guys are so handy! I love watching these videos ❤
I'm in New Zealand – another new place…. Being somewhere like France blows my mind. Love your houses. Good you can hone your reno skills in the US
Omg, your doggy looks like mine, they could be bros!
Love the little doggie….following every step you made. 🥰👌But why the short hair? It is not natural. He is much more pretty with longer hair.
Europe is so much more easygoing. Regards from the Netherlands.
