Inside the Château: A Small Decision With Big Consequences

A colour decision shouldn’t feel this big… and yet somehow it really does.In this episode of Inside the Château, we talk about finally choosing the colour for the gates, shutters, windows and doors — one of the first truly visible decisions that feels like our mark on the château. It’s a subtle choice, but one that says so much about how we want this house to feel.We also catch up on life at the château in the summer heat: picking cherries, making cherry vodka, cutting secret paths through the long grass, and enjoying the garden with the dogs and cats. Along the way, we drift into the realities of renovation, the things we miss about the UK, the quirks of French life, and why progress on a project like this rarely happens as quickly as people imagine.This is a quieter, more conversational episode, but full of the small details that make château life what it is.
