I think it looks cheap and uncomfortable but that's just me.
It's not just you. I really, really thought there just might be an actual event here. This clearly was something thrown together at the last minute, as far as the "venue site," what with the doors all stacked up against the wall, unattractive flowers, rumpled cloths, and paper napkins. How incredibly disappointing for the guests. I agree with a previous commenter that there should have been champagne, fancier food (and more abundant?), a nicer table setting, and why not at least cushions for the chairs? Perhaps each day improves? One can hope. Those poor people. I don't believe for a minute that they will be satisfied with this treatment, but who knows. If even a few wake up and start discussing the reality of this farce with others, maybe they will withdraw their patronage and we'll see an end to the scam. I am behind on posts (only to page five), so I don't know if Clara has piped in yet. I'm hoping she (and anyone else who is present there and part of our group here) will offer more details. Shame on the whole lot of them.

The flower/weed/flora-from-the-underworld arrangements are a big FU to all her patrons. Surely, she had the means to do better,
and yet she went with this

This last pic is different from the lunch one but has the some of the same people/ patreons as the lunch pic. Tea time? Even the tables are in a different configuration.

I really hope that some of those that attended the Patreon day and felt valued by the food, wine and choice of dining they were offered find their way here and gain the true perspective on what was provided and what they should have been provided. Given the copious bottles of champagne that are used to celebrate, anything from the health of a fat hedgehog to birthday celebrations 4 times over, the very basic menu, the garage, the cold on my arse chairs, unevenly placed on a cobbled floor. I hope they weigh up how much they have spent over the years against how little was spent on providing them with their away day and realise they really are undervalued.

But Tattle Life always calls her shittoo a farmhouse
Farmhouse look would be hay bales to sit on and beer garden benches and tables, some pitchforks for decoration
Snorts modelling for the said farmhouse look 1.41

Plus who in their right mind (nevermind) puts wallpaper behind a sink without a backsplash? It will get water on it every single time someone uses the sink...

I posted much the same before reading all these comments. We are (most of us) of the same opinion. Cloth napkins should be required! They have hundreds of them!!!! They can't be bothered to launder some napkins? The cheese tray was disgusting. That place probably stinks from all the peacock sh*t. The whole scene is disgraceful. I don't think they are willing to "do better."

Maybe that’s why there’s no running water in that sink, just wet wipes and hand scrub, must protect the expensive, badly installed wallpaper.

That's some of the worst wall papering I've ever seen. It's really not so difficult to lift edges and remove air bubbles. I think that was some really expensive paper. What a disaster. Yeah, and the rest is just gross.

In the Patreon Marquis sitting room video, I thought Auntie said something proprietary about the chateau. Maybe they only see it that way as Stephanie may say that… or they are part owners?

So what are you suggesting?

@Iolair Can anyone zoom in close enough to read the woman's name tag?

It does make sense that the stickers are name tags (what else could they be) but I don’t think they are as although I can’t read them, either on the photo from the bathroom or the one of the two ladies standing with IJ and Percy, I think I know what those two ladies are called and neither sticker looks like their names on f/b. So the only other thought is maybe they were divided into teams for their tour around the farmhouse as the stickers are different colours as well.

It may just be a friend who is a lawyer who was invited along to see the place, after which he could advise whether or not to take legal action using another firm.

I think wallpaper can be very nice, however, if you must use it in a bathroom it needs to be washable. I doubt very much if that expensive paper in the downstairs loo is washable with a cleanser that kills germs. Also, the wallpaper near the tub in one of the other photos is going to be exposed to a lot of steam. Well, that's if anyone actually takes baths in that place, other than Fanny in her copper tub for photo shoots.
