Stunning home in the south of France - home tour

bonour and welcome to another home tour video i'ml and on this channel I share my family's quiet life here in the French countryside the renovations of our 150 year old farmhouses cooking brocant shopping and home tours i drive all over France to show you the most beautiful French country homes and today I want to show you the gorgeous property that's Hiden behind these Gates make to subscribe if you more frch homes and [Music] let's two years ago je and bought this for wi makers home the in southwest France had always dreamed ofing a bed and breaking this reg and when they found this property it was love at first S and so they took on the renovations to turn the house into a home for their family of three and the stable and barn into bed and breakfast rooms after almost two years of nonstop building works they opened their first bed and breakfast room this P Sumer and they currently creating two more je Chen [Music] [Music] so here in the room the common thread at the level of the sheepfold is really it's parfill that we found in an annex and that I wanted to reuse in each room for the landing in fact and I find that it harmonizes well with the color of the tiles after here the particularity of this room it's in the bathroom it's a paint that I made at home so it's a mixture of Chud uh with a pigment and casein so like it was done before so an application with a flat brush and a protection to protect against splashes at the level of the pigment good the more you put necessarily the more it will be dark knowing that upon application it is already very dark and when it dries it loses a lot in terms of shade it's the one that's heathered and it was him uh who defined in fact the whole entire piece eh since it's its color that made us go with tones like that Jean he tells me said but what are you doing to me I said but if you go and see everything will go from there and and then I found the tiles the three tiles which are above were also found in Portugal ah yeah I I was wondering where the tile was, I didn't want to bring an extra light fixture and so we had some old tiles and we cut them, we drilled them, we made a support and to have a little light next to this storage uh because if you see clearly in fact it is deeper than the wall we went to really hang in the stone wall to gain depth because if we had put a wardrobe obviously it would have been a little bit more imposing so we started it a little further away and we came to do the the wall next to it in fact all around yeah so and in plaster tile it's it's very simple but super beautiful I think and it seems antique the door is found, well, like everything else when you find something there, it's really something unique, well, it's a P feeling and the seat cushions are the same, I found it, it's something, it's something fabric is what he used to make the beds at the time uh headboards yeah yeah yeah and so I made the chair pads with it but it's a fabric that is antique but it's in perfect condition eh but it's an old fabric h and the table I love and the table well there you go you find a table you hunt for a table in these temponl then you come across a pretty fabric by chance and then everything matches and uh the same painting is a flea market friend who had it for a long time and then suddenly there and I passed in front of it often eh but then when the atmosphere was over I said to myself no but in fact it This is the one you need for the final touch I also really like what you did for the sockets ah yes so it's the protruding socket with the small insulators like it was done yeah that's it 'it's a nice solution in fact when the electricity passes through the ceiling it makes a decorative element a little bit it's pretty ceramic socket so this one B so it's it's Jean who made it entirely entirely uh we we had old wooden planks and I wanted it to have a vintage look I could n't find a suitable size for the bed at all so we completely created it so I designed and he did so he made the cutouts on the sides like the banns at the old time yeah and we have it we still have it a little bit sometimes so damaged at the level of the wood for him give the lived-in look and with old old boards that's what's good when you 're under construction is that when you renovate you always have something lying around and that you can reuse we don't throw anything away he put big big points like that was done so he pre-drilled he put the big points but he did a bit like he did at the time eh he made his little cutouts of wood and [Music] break again the same ones what is it called parfe parfeuill orou we find them here and we will find them in the other rooms as well and it's a it's a top of an old buffet he left he left for waste disposal sites and it was the top of 'a buffet in fact and so it hurt my heart to see it go to the recycling center we got it back we remade it we made a tray to put it on and so we used it to dresser for the sheepfold and after that it's papipain yeah so a tailor-made panoramic I wanted like a painting and it's true that in summer we open the door and when we're in the swimming pool it's continuity to see a landscape I am delighted with the result I CIS yes here there was there was coating it was completely hidden we couldn't see the stones so we discovered everything with the the jackhammer on the other part was much too damaged that's why we made the plaster around it but but it highlights here's the fact of having found these pretty stones still it highlights the door and and the opening [Music] so what did you do for us al an apple and vanilla cake next I had the pleasure of being invited into Aurelie je and their daughter Victoire's personal home this is one of the most stunning homes that I have never seen and I can't wait to share it with you [Music] ah so here we are in your wonderful kitchen so here there was a staircase in the back that we broke down to save a little space and I wanted something bright here we also sealed off the staircase to recover the place of light there were a lot of stones on the wall that we could not recover too dirty by time and therefore not maintained enough so we made the choice to harmonize with white and there we found an old workbench from a framer so that we shortened it a little bit and that's what we use here to have an aperitif on breakfast it's true that we sit here when we are both with victory or all three yeah and it has a nice height too yes it was perfect it was just a little too long and we redid all the sides with trying to find a wood that matched it so that it would n't be seen precisely then the worktop is all made of plaster tiles so we made the kitchen ourselves to measure that has was a little complicated because you have to take all the ribs and not forget anything so that's the most difficult but at least I have I really have enough to cook with and in storage I have I put connecting boxes everywhere to save space and now it's practical in terms of storage and so my my favorite is it's my cooking piano but yes I see that's it it was really in this house I only saw that so we kept the fireplace which we transformed into a Hte uh and we placed the cooking range so it's true that it has an unusual height but it's it doesn't matter it's the charm of the old you also have to know how to adapt and I find that it has its place here really learning to cook differently sometimes with what you find in the garden and and then you always have great stories that's what's nice yes you want us to go to the living room so here I'm taking you to the living room and the dining room so here there has been a lot of change because we had a lot of stones uh there was n't a lot of electricity finally we just had one outlet so we had to draw all the electricity redo the floors it looked a little bit like a cellar and uh and we wanted uh we wanted to transform and make the living room here and it's fantastic because by doing the openings differently and always by bringing this white it gives a warm couoning side with the vaults finally very little furniture because obviously it has an effect I find it actually breaks in terms of the decor when you put large pieces of furniture here so we made the choice to do like in the kitchen with plaster tiles for the TV unit so that's it. is a piece that I have that I found and which was in a priory and normally there they are put like this and there straight away it speaks to you when you see that in the in the priories the monasteries often so it's a very very beautiful piece ah I'm [Music] delighted to have been able to leave it in the living room and after all it's turned into furniture well I imagine yeah this table that one a lot on the right corner we find and then and then suddenly of heart and the ban also I love yeah yes you can come here so there you have you have our our sleeping area with our bedroom and victory room just ah wow oh the fireplace so it was the living room here it's a corner living room with the library and uh and we made the choice so we made our our bedroom here and uh we kept the fireplace as it was, we renovated it it had a few cracks but the whole wall behind with its traces of time it was kept deliberately but it adds charm the victory room right here hop and it was she who chose all her decoration ah yeah so she China a lot with me and she really made her world so here on the top floor we have our neighbor who either buys us pretty things or gives us things from his house that change and uh he offered us these magnificent doors and we created something like a library in fact with beautiful objects that we have hunted for several years the lighting fixtures especially I love ah that yeah you find them where one I hunt everything I can eh at the level of there the base it was the wall lamp it was found the globe yeah we have a hike in the wood of bread which is called the volcanic balconies and you have gray stone that's what makes the village a little special and that's a very very old house it was there it was there in the beginning with the tower which is higher so and there we were told that it served as a rampart at the time very very ciur luran cabriè was inhabited since the Neolithic here so it was it's really we're on old ones and there is more beauty to this gorous property because the prev owner was a herbalist and aelie decided to keep the greenhous that he had built so that she could do her gardening projects in there and in the adjacent building in the small C she created the cutest little Brant shop [Music] the last space that I want to show you is a little green house and to me just such an exle of how space into something
