Still fulminating on @KiKiGee's post on the chambre Perse.
The wall paper is really, really good. But it is not feminine, as SJ has interpreted its flowers to be, matching them with Marie Antoinette caca flowers. It is masculine. The only thing right in this room may be the yellow curtains, but I doubt it.
Butch luxe is the way to go on this. I like my idea of the yellow Mark Rothkos; a few scimitars crossed over the fireplace with yummy Toledo Damascene handles, modern lapis lazuli block candlesticks, some heavenly Alhambra-esque small, low, jasmine nosegays.....carved alabaster lions from the fountain of the lions....lose that dead French granny vanity and get a nice faux marbre Parsons table....etc. Creamy colored coarse linen lampshades, cream colored linens with very wide crochet lace on the pillows, looted from a cardinal's alb. Everybody and his brother now makes neutral Persian style rugs, some great deals for the size needed here. Some lapis-colored leather in there for winter....
I agree. This walpaper needs plain, fresh and simple colors to match with it.

Not to derail… but how does one have a relationship with an escort? There was a bit of conversation at the end of #44 about MPK. And what happened to this week’s vlog?

Evidently Ryan is leaving or has left France and Billy made the comment that Michael was to be returning that evening. Had to watch to see if Ryan would say anything about his French residency…..I wonder if it did not go through?
Is Ryan leaving France ? Noooooo ! What a loss for France (Sorry UK friends) 😅

Well no Yves Delorme in Chambre Perse that is for certain. A set of SJ’s sheets retail for $350. Her minions are lucky to wash them.

Yves Delorme is a luxury in France too. Not everybody sleeps in Yves Delorme beddings. She really thinks she's a princess. Unbelievable that so many people support her in her delusions of grandeur !

She should try shopping at TK Maxx… Might find the same brand at a drastically reduced price. Just found these on the TJ Maxx website!!! 😊

Fresh new sheets out of clean never used packaging? Those cost money even at TK Maxx when the brocante down the road has some sitting in the rain for just a couple of euros. It gives the ‘authentic’ feel of life at LaLande of cleaning after yourself, making your own bed and fingers crossed dodging salmonella…

Anna from the Fleuries is sanding her gardenfurniture because it was a bit stained after standing in the weather last summer...She said it was too embarassing to let the guests sit on them like that..she sanded them and put some oil on it...even new fabric because the old has lost its colour through the sunlight...It looked nice again..

Looking at Fan Flash her gardenfurniture...she doesnt bother at all...its all crappy and dirty...they even let the birdshit stains on...for guests to enjoy their dinner...eating from spode...sitting in poo...

And then the episode that I watched last year where SJ goes out into a small room from a dining area to get the leaves for the table that are stored just before you go into the section of the basement where the bats live. And I remember her finding the cushions for the outside furniture there also that IJ had put to create some sort of insulation during the winter. And she was laughing about this one cushion that was very dusty (and full of who knows what) and how it would go onto Nic’s chair that evening.

Castle ten Berghe has a lot of the same patreons as Fan Flash..i even see Brenda Gibbons... :eek: He is restoring his towerwindow..omg..no wonder the glass broke..its not by the wind alone..Why not put another window in when you have to screw it out at the first place and bring it to the workshop...Let the carpenter make a new one, and put that in..instead of putting some putty over, and a new glass in... on a rotten window...which was clearly already bad repaired in the past...and didnt fit at all anymore..btw how he put the glass in...clearly not a painter..I know specialists are expensive..but when you do it this way..i guess you have to do it the next year probably again..ending up with a lot of repairs at the same time..

I truly don't understand how her guests (patrons) don't see how crappy her farmhouse is once they have stayed there. I mean aren't some of them from the US? It must be expensive to travel all the way to France, so these people clearly aren't poor and they must have a comfortable income, so my point is they must have been to finer establishments than LL, shouldn't they be disappointed when they come there? Once they see the cheap bedding, the dirty floors, the literal feces everywhere, etc, it should be enough to break off the illusion.

When you look at her vlogs..i guess you already know and see enough...who would want to go to a filthy place like that...it looks filthy on the vlogs..the reality is even worse..video and picture even filter something out..what are you going to find under your bed?? or in the showerdrain.....and pay all that money...she dare to ask for the rooms..I think a youth hostel is cleaner.. I guess all her flying monkies want to stay there is to pay hommage to Her Falshiness.....shittalaine of Lalande....or to profit from her vlogs for their own gain..It cannot be because the place is so nice and clean..and the food is superbe..

The scales are further falling from my eyes. When Steph visits other chateaux, the guests are the priority and the living quarters of the owners are usually very modest, or last on the list. Here we have Steph in luxury bedding whilst paying guests are on bedding from the brocante...and the grotty garden furniture is now an embarrassment. That fringed umbrella/sunshade/rag - really?

There was a period in my life where I couldn't sleep. Advised to prioritize spending money on blackout curtains, good pillows, linens, fleece bed liner, cotton nightclothes, chamomile tea, etc. I went crazy and started to pay $125 for sets of real percale bed linens. I thought then, and now, that's a whopping sum for superlative cotton sheets that wash up crisp yet soft, and whose aldehydes and ketones when line dried are among the best and most soothing scents anywhere, and because line-dried last for 15 years. I don't think $200 more per set could make it better. That thread count thing is a scam.

Fresh new sheets out of clean never used packaging? Those cost money even at TK Maxx when the brocante down the road has some sitting in the rain for just a couple of euros. It gives the ‘authentic’ feel of life at LaLande of cleaning after yourself, making your own bed and fingers crossed dodging salmonella…
I was just thinking if I were dipso in the last throes of the DTs, I would know better than to drink sherry out of those crusty bedroom decanters. 🥴

How is it possible to make $30K+ a month and not hire daily professional cleaners and send out the laundry?

Sewist Sara has been dropping hints. Steve couldn't contain his excitement, this is from his rarely used instagram account. As we know, until money has been exchanged and the keys are in hand, it is not a done deal.

She certainly could afford at least down alternative comforters and cotton duvets, Then you would know the duvets got washed after each guest how can you wash those crazy weird quilted comforters.

Sorry but what do they do for a living? They must be loaded??? This looks like a proper château, at least compared to LL.

Looks like 19th century house from South West France. Neogothic vibes all over. I feel like I've seen the place before but maybe that's because there must be thousands of similar looking places from Perigord to Basque Country. I would guess the price around the one million euro mark. Could be less, could be more depending on the condition and location. I might have liked it at some point but now my chateau fatigue is real.

SJ keeps the Yves Delorme bed linen for herself; it's obvious that the guests are not worth the expensive stuff. The de Gournay wallpaper will only be in her apartment.
she sells the place on the presentation of her room (how many vlogs start with her in bed being brought tea-any paying clients will think they get the same type of luxury-but no they live in filthy dark caves with polyester bedding and have to haul their asses downstairs for a decent coffee or tea in the morning in the equally filthy kitchen-yuck-I just can’t
