Bonjour everyone,

​
We’re back this week in your inbox with lots of renovation excitement and a brand-new video!

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been deep in renovation mode, and this episode is a big one: we’re finally making huge progress on our bedroom makeover and adding those finishing touches that make the old house magic come alive again.

​

Bedroom makeover: almost there!

We’re so close to finishing our bedroom, and this phase may be our favourite yet. In this episode, we:

• Installed the wardrobe units (goodbye piles of clothes!)
• Wired in antique bedside lights
• Built a custom headboard
• Painted everything in Sardine by Farrow & Ball — walls, skirting, door, trim… we're going for the full look.

It already feels calm, cozy, and timeless: exactly the right character for a 19th-century Chartreuse.

What’s left?

• Building wardrobe doors & drawers
• Adding fabric panels
• Installing curtains

We're so close… stay tuned for the big reveal!

Final details: antique ceiling lights

After over a year living with bare bulbs, we finally have real lighting!

During a recent trip to the UK, we stumbled upon three beautiful antique pendant lights, perfect for the hallway’s proportions. And they look like they’ve always been here.

And to complete things, we installed a gorgeous pendant from Devol in the dining room. It’s the cherry on top: classic, warm, and a little bit magical ✨

That's it for this week! Thanks for sticking with us through the dust, delays, and endless layers of paint. We can’t wait to share more of this transformation with you.

Grab a cup of tea, put your feet up, and come join us in the new video!

​

À bientôt,

Hugo & Romy
