The work continues on our big bedroom and we're very excited with our latest projects! We create a magnificent 18th century-style trumeau mirror from scratch (and show you how), plus show you a first look at our new line of custom Christmas ornaments...designed by me and coming soon! Have a great weekend, mes amis!
Sending you so much chateau love...xxx, Vivienne 🏰 💖

The Empire Suite bedroom reveal is finally here! Watch the full before & after transformation of this stunning room at our chateau, filled with renovations, restorations, upcycled antiques, gilded details, original soft-furnishings, and not-yet-seen finishing-touches. Best of all, it's packed full of French First-Empire decor. We even take you to the Louvre in Paris for some original inspirations! Stay until the end for the big reveal and a glimpse of what’s coming next! Hope you have a lovely week filled with @ChateauLove . xxx, Vivienne 🏰 💖 watch video on watch page

It's not all castle hopping, dressing up, dancing and renovations! Sometimes we have to try to relax, unwind, go makeup-free, and get in touch with the simple pleasures before the hustle and bustle of "la rentrée" calls us back into the office. Join us as we go from one extreme to the other: chateau life to tent life. Will we cope? It's one of France's most glorious locations, but what is it like after a devastating forest fire? Can I try to stop decorating for even one week? And will my heart survive one of our group taking on a death-defying challenge?!?
Hope you are having a beautiful week wherever you are.
With chateau love, Vivienne 🏰 💖

Join us on a magical trip to Chateau de Lalande, home of our dear friend Stephanie Jarvis and The Chateau Diaries! In this video, we take a little break from our own chateau renovations to help out at Lalande's Patron Day; I host a porcelain painting activity; we see lots of old friends, and also make some new ones. There are lots of surprises in store: Fun gifts, dressing up, antique and vintage jewelry treasures, and my sister Ashley Locheed sings live! We finish the weekend celebrating Stephanie’s 50th birthday at a surprise party filled with laughter, amazing food, and so much dancing! We're delighted you can join us for the fun and all the Chateau Love! watch video on watch page
