Behind the Scenes at the Chateau - Sneak peek of new apartment Part 2 (Patreon)

Hello Everyone! Here's the second video of the apartment we're hoping to start work on this year. This time I show you the bedrooms upstairs. There are currently three bedrooms and one bathroom, and I'd like to reduce that to two bedrooms and two bathrooms, to make it a little more spacious.  

Just to remind you all, the funding for this project isn't coming from you, our wonderful patrons. We're going to focus your contributions on the chapel, lake and interior panelling, areas that we couldn't have tackled without your help. Our personal funds will be used to - bit by bit - continue to decorate and improve the chateau. My co-owner, the Elusive Nic, wants to restore this apartment, which he'll use with his family on his visits. When we first moved in, back in 2005, Nic and I both lived full time at the chateau and he chose a modest bedroom above the kitchen for himself (unlike me! I chose the entire first floor of the central wing of the chateau, to make a bedroom, bathroom, dressing room and walk-in closet 😳)

Nic didn't feel he needed anything grand, and he loved his quirky bedroom under the eaves with windows onto both the courtyard side and the chapel/lake side of the property - as well as crucially, being near the kitchen! But now he has a beautiful wife and son, and needs a little more space!  Once it's completed, we'll also be able to rent this apartment out to generate more revenue when he's not here, which will help to fund the restoration of other areas. 

Thank you again, I'm feeling such a wave of support from around the world and it's giving me an enormous amount of energy! 💛💛💛

Love,
