FINISHING the Chairs and EPIC Thunderstorms | Manor & Maker

We finished 'relooking' the other two chairs in the set we bought from the brocante, and cut it close with the trim that we had on hand (it came from my stash; clever people would of course measure properly before buying!). Sara makes an epic number of cushions, which we don't quite use to cover our ears for the couple of thunderstorms that rolled through, but fortunately damage was minimal. Steve does a bit of a nature walk to make sure everything is ok after the storms, and you get to see a bit more of our property. #chateau #nature #upholstery #thunderstorm Thanks to Brian & Nina, our volunteers for the past few weeks, who headed home. Foolishly we didn't get the cameras out for the goodbye, so a little voiceover will have to do! Manor & Maker theme music by Jamie Christopherson and Jeff MacDonald for Louder Productions. Follow us on Instagram @manorandmaker Sara, an IT professional & Stephen a graphic designer and artist are world-traveling Canadians who dreamt of moving to Europe, and France in particular. In 2020 they were working from home when Stephen turned to Sara and popped the question she was longing to hear, “What would have to be true for us to buy a chateau in France?” They searched online for months viewing hundreds of properties. They narrowed their search and toured some properties when they happened upon the one that captured our hearts, Château de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A year later they made the move to France to start their new adventure in our beautiful Château. They created “Manor and Maker” to reflect the two sides of their adventure. One, to live as chateau owners with all the ups and downs and two, to pursue their passions as makers, creating art in all its forms. They will invite others to come together, united by their passions, to share in this adventure. We invite you to join us too, as we bring our dreams to life. Welcome to Manor & Maker.
