i remember a vlog from about two months ago where Camile bought the whole artshop/antiqueshop empty.... those pieces all costed a fortune...and when you see them in the house it still looks empty..
So odd isn't it to buy a house like that and not have a stick of furniture and they must be 50 years old. Camilla isn't confident about style choices just look at the sheets she bought yesterday thinking grey looks pretty with pink but forgetting the majority of the walls are green.

From what we’ve seen so far their taste is questionable at best. And their knowledge of the supposed style of the house is laughable. Those interiors scream mid century neo-modernisme. The antiques that were sold to them as having been original pieces from the property are totally the wrong date and style. Somebody saw a pair of bumbling brits with big dreams and little knowledge and decided to separate them from their grifted gains. They got fleeced!

All the editing must be a nightmare! Having to go back and keep checking that anything financially incriminating has been removed or subsequently addressed so as to minimise her culpability.

I don't think it's odd.
Ollie and Camilla explained that they didn't bring any new linen or china because they wanted to buy their house and make purchases that were complementary to the new house's interior. They will purchase new linen, china and objects accordingly.
I think this line of thinking follows through for their furniture.
Their previous home was a new build and the furniture from that house would not have suited the new home in Spain which has a very different aesthetic.
As it is some of the furniture that they have brought with them doesn't suit this new house.
It's nice enough furniture but not for this house.

But I do agree that the grey sheets were an odd choice.
She should have followed her own advice and taken photos along of the bedroom's interior.

Not house related but Cami looked fabulous at the end in her yellow bikini,

It's a big house.
They have five floors to fill.

If the Gay Twink had a really good male “ friend” at the chateau for NYE, you can bet they went out for kabobs after midnight!

I wonder if we'll see more of Phillipa's 'good friends' visiting and whether or not this is part of the deal/charade?
Or have they just driven me into cynicism

At least it is a clean new bed. It’s is a lovely bed for a young girl. I would never buy a second hand bed with fabric coverings. Yuk.
lol What do you think the bed was? Second, third or 10th hand and then recovered. The same bed is for sale at Emmaus all over France. Could be bought for less than 100 euros and then recovered.

Teresa and Ashtray found a kitchen on Facebook Marketplace to buy for 50 euros and reinstall in the derelict sha-oh. Ashtray said it was too expensive; but Teresa had a tantrum and got the sellers down to a tenner (10 euros) for it.

Teresa is afraid he might be upstaging his mother’s kitchen! But they’re going ahead with it because it will compliment Ashtray’s neck warmer.



When will we be hearing that Granny is now broke after the reno and having to open a Tea Room in her new old 1990’s kitchen in the derelict cottage??

I have read some of what he’s written on his blog before and he comes across as Jason Dubey like.

I think the problem they have is that they have said they are not allowed to tackle the majority of the renovations until they have owned the place for 2 years, that was my understanding anyway, correct me if I misunderstood. So instead of putting the money to one side in a renovation account, which would make sense, they are spending it on interior furniture and probably relying on the Patreon to cover the renovation costs when they are permitted to start them. Given that the place is cold and possibly damp and all the electricity runs from an extension lead, not sure how efficient the radiators are but I think it foolhardy to buy expensive pieces of furniture that can be ruined whilst waiting for renovations to start. Not to mention the way Olly crashes into walls and furniture when carrying objects around, he's like a bumper car with no one at the wheel.

Up close you can see she's been extremely heavy handed with an eye brow pencil. Like two black caterpillars have crawled onto her face. They are perfectly drawn, but she needs to adopt softer lines.

Didn't Cammy put her linen in one of the landing storage cupboards so she could access it easily?

Eww... What revolting behaviour. It's always the blame game with Stephanie.

Am I the only one who wants the Floor Scrubber to restore the lake just so she can tell the Gay Twink to go jump in it?

Not to mention those wild tile floors. At least she decided not to die on that hill! Staph would’ve dug in and insisted we were color blind!
