Stephanie probably found out about the auction from you since she reads here. Do you think she reads the newspaper? It doesn’t have big pretty pictures in it.
I actually took a look at that auction when you posted it and it was incredible to see. You definitely called it - multiple times! Wow. I think the majority of his items went above the reserve price. Ugh…I don’t know if I can even watch the video now. But, of course I will.
I signed up for a Christie’s account to be able to watch (not bid on…just to watch only) certain auction items that I found interesting. So, thanks for posting it!
youtube recommended a few videos about the Givenchy sale to me… so SJ could have seen it there, but also she is probably on the mailing list for Christie’s auctions!
of all the beautiful things he had she paid a ton for the most boring piece! That whole room could have been furnished for that amount! There are too many great brocantes and antique stores in France!! She needs to let Billy P teach her how to shop for quality!
but I think she must resent Billy P… he gets to spend non grifted money… his wife has actual provenance in France! ( I mean they make French bread happen!!!). She spent was it €15k on that paneling (in terrible shape & not suited to the room!) and then he picks up a gorgeous library for €8k (suits his gorgeous chateau AND turns out to have a Rothschild Provence!!). It must eat her up!
and yes I think everyone here asking WHAT DOES PHIPHI DO? Prompted her to make that patreon video… “Philip has been working so hard creating a scale drawing of the GRAHN SALOHN…” (shows sketch that could be knocked up in a few minutes!)
meanwhile Lovely Anna & Phillip make the best videos and complete all their projects and have a lovely chateau… this must drive her crazy too! Even Steve & Sarah’s chateau has come a long way since christmas! (I don’t watch, they were just too boring, but that recent tour SJ gave was enough to see they seem to be on the right track!
And SJ is crazy jealous because…let’s face it she was the first YT chateau channel… she makes the most on YT and on Patreon, yet nothing in her shitshow is completed!… oh wait the wedgewood cubby/nook/foyer is “finished”!
so… that’s my first official rant! How did I do?
