I'm very happy to invite you to visit my private apartment in the Chateau de Lalande!

I'm delighted to welcome you into my home, and to take you on a personal tour. There's so much to see that I've had to split the tour into several parts. This week I'll show you my private apartment, taking the the entire first floor in the central wing of the chateau. It's very much a work in progress, and I'm about to start a major transformation of one of the rooms so this is a good opportunity to show you its 'before' state!

It's the moment we've all been waiting for a full tour of the Chateau de Lalande! I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to do this, but I never felt that the chateau was fully ready! But I've realised that I'll always feel that way, and part of the beauty of a historic home like this is that it's always a work in progress. Restoring Lalande is the creative passion of my life ❤❤
