Cheers to planning ❤️

Happy to see things moving forward

Maybe the old trough could be turned into a water feature if that area beside will be a sitting area. Would sound lovely.

Well done on saving the cockerel!

Good to have a long term plan for all of the spaces as you say as everything impacts something else and with no grand master plan it could lead to waste and changing work already done. If everything is done with thought to what will be done later it will ensure less problems will arise.

For Nati’s apartment, is it possible to leave the floor all one level throughout the apartment, and then just have stairs at the back going up to the door? That way it looks similar as how it is setup in the wood hanger?

Can you do a glass balustrade for Nati’s apartment. It wouldn’t block the view through the room

I think the idea someone posted on the regular video of putting wheels under the cabinet for the china pantry is good as it would raise the height and allow it to be moved for easy access to the wall cabinets.

If you do custom cabinet in the China pantry, you could make sliding doors on the lower parts, so you won’t have doors to open and take up space in the narrow passage.

Love that you include your patrons in your planning, Stephanie. It really makes patronage a special experience. But I hope it's not too many chefs in the kitchen - having said that I was thinking you might want to ask Jerry if he would prefer to be on ground level given his recent injury and possible future arthritis. It's a bummer to think about...but I'm only 60 and have to limit stairs due to some old injuries. Sending love and best wishes for all you projects.

I thought glass balustrades would look great for safety without losing sight lines in Nati's apartment

Please no frosted glass ! What about a fine linen curtain or antique lace. xoxoxo

Was Philip calling 'arret' in French ?

My thoughts exactly, a small 3ft square platform with steps to the side is all that’s need. This will give that extra storage needed as well

Great bonus as always, please don’t continue the walk way across the front of the beautiful arched opening, just leave it on the other side. The buildings on the left don’t need to be linked or have a fire escape, maybe have that as a two storey home

As others have mentioned, leave the floor all the same height and put a few stairs up to the back door to the outside. Easy.

It is hard to visualize all the changes that will take place - the lake, the chapel completed, the gardens, the apartments, the terrace, the China pantry, the dry moat rebuilt not to mention all the

Oops didn’t finish! If it is possible, I would like to see the area walked yesterday restore the towers and landscape that area with the moat restored as well. Since we are getting the paneling, what about the library? It is a public area as well and if there will be guests again, it would be a nice addition. Maybe as a winter project. Lots of ideas and progress! Such fun.

The solution to Nati’s apartment is easy. Keep the floor at ground level from the courtyard door over to the corridor door. This will create an entrance hall into the apartment from both doors. Then, raise the rest of the floor to the desired height. In front of the corridor door, place the steps up to the apartment space. It won’t divide the space in half or sacrifice space like Phillip and Ian’s suggestion. The entrance area could be really cute with plenty of space for storage drawers / cabinets / shelving underneath the new kitchen / office floor, with a banister rail on top of them.

Might just be me, or my device, but I had a really hard time hearing, what Ian actually said. Also, while I like to hear about all the future plans, I think that I'd rather have it explained and talked about after the brainstorming, as it quickly becomes a huge amount of technical info, in a relatively short vlog 🙂

Thank you Philip, for saving the poor cockerel. So glad the poor thing survived. I agree with adding wheels under the new cabinet for the china pantry. What a fabulous idea. You could add trim to the bottom to hide them if you don't want the wheels to be visible. They have wheels that can be adjusted for height as well, so you can adjust them as needed if the cabinet is moved to another space. Adding sliding doors to the lower half of the custom cupboards also make a ton of sense. I don't really like the concrete trough outside Nati's apartment. If it can be moved safely to another area, to save it and still find use for it, maybe near the green house, that would be best. Could a window be added to the front (center) of the upper level of the wood store that is the same shape as peak of the roof instead of dormers? The large front entry doors will have to be replaced with smaller ones if you will be creating and using the upstairs as office space.

I agree with the others about Nati's apartment. All one level, with a tiny stair to access the other door. Storage could be under the steps. No wasted space that way. Split level cuts the space in half, visually, and isn't really right for the chateau. Stephanie is right about that. It would also cost less.

I had a really hard time with that as well! I wish they would use the microphone more often when outside having group discussion. (I did try using the YouTube auto-generated captions today, but they weren't very helpful.)

When I first saw the octagonal cabinet I thought it was intended for the center of Stephanie’s dressing room as a place to store accessories.

Oh what fun being a fly on the wall whilst you brainstorm. I LOVE hearing all of the ideas each person puts forward. I also love the trough outside ... I think it is made out of stone and is very old, yes? Then it really should stay there. Steph's idea of having a nice tap or fountain would be lovely. Putting wheels on the new cabinet would solve many problems. Perfect. (I used to be a teacher-librarian and I had wheels put on our free standing bookshelves so we could move them aside when we needed the space and then put them back afterwards.) You can have them covered with lovely trim. The idea of having sliding doors on the bottom half of the china cabinets is good but aesthetically may not work. Thank goodness Spud survived the dog attack. The dog must have thought Spud was a very interesting plush toy! It makes a huge noise when grabbed. Yikes!! Thanks so much for sharing all of this with us, Steph. Much appreciated.

Hi Stephanie, Phillip, Ian, and Davey! I haven't read any of the comments above. I'm just dropping the bombs of ideas and thoughts I have. And they are just that ideas, thoughts, they are never meaning to 'tell' you what to do - I make them as a suggestion and to be of conversations. For, an idea should never be suppressed, but it's meant to grow, and to morph into what is meant to be.... *Ugh* I hit enter - please read the reply below... Why can't patreon allow "enters" to create a new paragraph?!?! I should write it up as a bug :) *evil grin*

Crap! I hit Enter! Dang it! Ok... First Idea is that "what if" you created a step at the first level where you want Nati's floor. Step on it - gage (sp? gauge?)the room to see where the windows are etc.. Then, have a 2nd step where the room level could be. Step on it and gage the room. Look out windows doors etc... This can help you decide if you want the floor to be lower or higher. Ok 2nd thought is hard. Now, that Gerry had a broken knee cap. You need to realize he's going to have issues walking up and down stairs. He may be better suited to a 1st floor apartment. Just want to share that awareness with you ... God Bless... xoxo Love you all! Glad the dogs didn't eat the Cockerel ...

Regarding the China Pantry, one suggestion would be to move the octagonal cabinet to one side of the room, centered on the wall, and build the shelving on that wall around it on both sides. You would lose the use of one or two doors but would make much more room for larger shelving on the other wall (thinking for the platters etc).

Anonymous

Too bad you couldn't design a rolling trundle bed, or horizontal 'murphy' bed, that rolls under the higher floor in Nati's apartment in the daytime and rolls out at night ;)

Anonymous

I really like the idea of matching the roof line of the hanger to the back of the building with all windows. That would be amazing. That would be really worth it, regardless of the expense. I like the idea of the cabinet on wheels, great solution. good job on saving Spud Philip.

Why not do a solid wall between the two levels, maybe some glass pains along the top, for light and do a pretty small stair case, into the upper level

Anonymous

Hi, you have more than enough room for that round table in the China pantry. In the areas where you cannot have pull out doors for the cabinets, make them sliding doors? They can still look beautiful....

Anonymous

In the china pantry, why don't you use cupboard with sliding doors ? then you could fit the octagonal table easily...

Phillip, if you can run that fast in those slick jeans Im certain you are capable of a gold medal! 🤩 Thank goodness you were there! Bless you

At some point , once many of these 2021 renovation projects are completed, it would be nice to create and dedicate a plaque ( perhaps placed in one of the garden “library” rooms) that list those selfless and talented individuals who helped renovate LaLande during this most recent renovation.... the plaque can list their names, contribution and nationality. Perhaps this garden room could be a “ historical library” where all future renovations could be added to the 2021 list.... a living recognition renovation library.

I'm team balustrade, I would be worried about sitting in furniture near the edge of the step. Plus the balustrade could be decorated for Christmas.

Anonymous

A possible idea for Nati’s apartment is to leave the floor level between the two existing doors as it is with stairs opposite the outside door leading to the upper level. That way the whole space is on one level except for a small “corridor” between the two doors. Really enjoy the discussions about possibilités and plans, thank you so much!

Anonymous

I think I'm on team split level with a smaller gap between the levels. From the door to the chapel, you could install 2 wide (and curved) steps down into the sitting area. This would be about 15" of depth or about 38cm. This way there would be less of a drop from one level to the other and the balustrade would also be lower so it wouldn't necessarily block the view of shorter peoples. With the remaining 22cm, you could still install some drawers for storage under the higher floor. You'd have about 10" for the drawer face, and with the floor taking up some of that space, about 8" deep drawers. You'd sacrifice a bit of storage space for greater safety.

Differing levels in a studio or bed-sit apartment help delineate separate head space, especially if Nati is expected to work and live there. I like the Philip/Ian plan of two steps up all the way across. Fascinated by Davy des Sources water plans, I look forward to seeing all his drawings and plans. Outside water management is imperative to the fabric of the chateau itself, as well as to any garden plan. Also very interested in your plans for electric/heat expansion -- you suggest another borehole or two, plus an eco boiler, would help heat Nati's/Gerry's apartments, as well as the chateau. The discussion of solar panels for electricity is also very promising. That's where I'd put all my money now, to get it off the grid and make the chateau livable for future generations -- water, heat, electricity. Good work! Davy is your one true visionary, thanks for sharing his wisdom with us.

I agree. This has bothered me for a while now.

Raising the floor and lowering the ceiling for soundproofing might make the living space a little claustrophobic. I would leave the floor as it is with steps going up to the door on the chapel side. Much easier and cheaper. The door won’t be used much in the winter anyway.

Why don't you put sliding doors on the bottom on the china pantry shelves, this way you can still use the centre island and not worry about the doors catching or one being left open and someone falling. Its starting to look amazing lots off on going jobs, which you have had to start and stop due to Covid with supplys, visitors and volunteers. In other ways through its been amazing to see your channel grow and watch Lalande come alive. I'm so pleased to have been here from the beginning. Can't wait to come visit. Hopefully Nati sends word that you need my skills soon. Like making tea and eating cake :) stay safe

The stairs could be made to look like a mini “grand staircase” with flights coming down either side of the door parallel with the back wall. The space underneath could be turned into storage cupboards.

It’s wonderful to see even more progress Stephanie 💙

turn the trough into a self contained fountain?

Anonymous

Not seeing a drawing of what it will look like makes it hard, at least for me, to visualize. I have seen where steps are deep enough to become like seats with cushions for sitting but space is left enough to use as stairs. Where the sitting part is there could even be a table nearby to use for tea or working. May sound a little modern but at least the steps are there and will serve a dual purpose instead of taking up a lot of room. Just an idea to think about.

These planning sessions are great - but it can be hard to hear, especially Ian. If Philip stood closer to the speakers and pointed his camera at the object under discussion, that would be wonderful. Also, I agree with one of the YT viewers who suggested adding stairs to Nati's apartment at the entry door, to keep most of the floor at one level, with possibly another couple of steps at the chapel-side door. I think you will find a split-level will be too difficult to live in and furnish.

Anonymous

One alternative for solving the two levels-problem is to have one floor at 60 cm and two stairs by the older doors. As often in old houses there is a lot of a few steps between different rooms. It would make the new apartment harmonius I think.

Ah, now I read your suggestion and realised I repeated everything! ;D

An idea for Nati's apartment is to have a glass partition at around waist level which won't obscure the view, and can be etched with a balustrade design, for example.

Anonymous

Why not keep the apartment level and put stairs outside the back door.? You could dig outside the back and even make a small inset stone walled area for enjoying some private outdoor sitting.

Anonymous

Dear Stephanie ❤️ For the apartment I would suggest that the floor is raised 60 cm in the living room / bedroom and the bathroom area with balustrade and wardrobe wall /corridor walkway to the bathroom, then the bathtub can be lowered completely into the floor, the window needs no change. kitchen / office / dining area in current level and storage under living / sleeping area as a continuation of kitchen table cabinets .... and the top cabinets over kitchen counter can go to selling... and cover back of wardrobe back side.

We did that--it's called a cour anglaise and it works very well!

Dear Stephanie et al, It is ridiculous how much I enjoy these planning session videos. Sometimes I think I enjoy them more than the vlogs! They give me such inspiration and allow me to dream of my own (small) house plans. The cameraderie between you all is such a gift. Thank you so very much for sharing... sprinting Phillip and all! xx Gabrielle in Derbyshire (but originally from Seattle)

Sliding doors is a great idea to be able to keep the island she has already purchased. Great idea!

Love the idea of converting the trough into a fountain! Always enjoy these planning sessions. Could you please give us an update on Spud? How terrifying for the cockerel.

Put wheels on the cabinet so that it is movable.

Hi ! Dear Stéphanie and Laland's team. This idea may be a little ridiculous, but have you ever thought about setting outside some dry composting toilets ? Have a good day. Sissi

I like the split level idea. It gives a wide open space some separation and you could make a cool one that looks old and ornate.
