00:00:03,162 --> 00:00:04,247
Six years ago,
2
00:00:04,272 --> 00:00:08,607
Angel and I fell in love
with a derelict 45-room chateau...
3
00:00:08,632 --> 00:00:10,137
This is truly beautiful.
4
00:00:11,392 --> 00:00:14,607
...and since then, we've
spent every spare moment
5
00:00:14,632 --> 00:00:16,367
bringing it back to life.
6
00:00:16,392 --> 00:00:18,937
This is beyond better
than what I've imagined.
7
00:00:18,962 --> 00:00:20,657
Ooh!
HE LAUGHS
8
00:00:20,682 --> 00:00:21,966
THEY CHEER
9
00:00:23,111 --> 00:00:26,046
We've both learned so much
over that time.
10
00:00:27,912 --> 00:00:30,767
Now we want to use Angel's
creativity...
11
00:00:30,792 --> 00:00:32,216
See the vision?
12
00:00:32,241 --> 00:00:34,137
...and Dick's ingenuity...
13
00:00:34,162 --> 00:00:37,777
That is the basis of a bed.
14
00:00:37,802 --> 00:00:41,577
...to solve your design
and DIY dilemmas.
15
00:00:41,602 --> 00:00:44,247
We really, really need your help
with the sash window
16
00:00:44,272 --> 00:00:45,767
in our first floor landing.
17
00:00:45,792 --> 00:00:48,296
From crafty conundrums...
18
00:00:48,321 --> 00:00:49,887
I want to massage it in,
19
00:00:49,912 --> 00:00:53,937
because then it creates that lovely
sort of fluffiness again.
20
00:00:53,962 --> 00:00:57,046
...to entire room renovation.
21
00:00:57,071 --> 00:00:59,937
I'm going to get stuck in
and get the walls painted.
22
00:00:59,962 --> 00:01:03,407
We're sharing our
tips and tricks with you.
23
00:01:03,432 --> 00:01:05,407
That is ridiculously solid.
24
00:01:05,432 --> 00:01:06,727
Surprised you? Yeah.
25
00:01:06,752 --> 00:01:08,017
Surprised me too.
26
00:01:08,042 --> 00:01:11,086
To get the most out of the things
you already have...
27
00:01:11,111 --> 00:01:12,447
Oh, beautiful.
28
00:01:13,522 --> 00:01:16,327
SHE GASPS
Oh, my God.
29
00:01:16,352 --> 00:01:18,887
...and to prove, with just enough
encouragement...
30
00:01:18,912 --> 00:01:21,657
Honestly, I have a little tear!
31
00:01:21,682 --> 00:01:23,937
We did it, we created a fabric!
32
00:01:23,962 --> 00:01:26,216
It's a thing of beauty.
33
00:01:26,241 --> 00:01:28,527
I love it. Completely love it.
34
00:01:28,552 --> 00:01:31,767
...together, we can all
make do and mend.
35
00:01:37,832 --> 00:01:39,296
HE LAUGHS
36
00:01:39,321 --> 00:01:41,296
Come on, you can do it!
37
00:01:41,321 --> 00:01:42,807
Come on!
38
00:01:42,832 --> 00:01:46,687
We love projects of all sizes
here at the chateau.
39
00:01:48,762 --> 00:01:52,737
And a few weeks ago I took
the plunge to make a wildlife pond
40
00:01:52,762 --> 00:01:56,296
filled with rainwater
in the walled garden...
41
00:01:56,321 --> 00:01:59,216
Slowly and steady,
because otherwise it slops.
42
00:01:59,241 --> 00:02:02,407
...and today it gets its first
inhabitants.
43
00:02:02,432 --> 00:02:04,737
Frogspawn.
44
00:02:04,762 --> 00:02:06,767
What we're going to do is
we're going to pour slowly,
45
00:02:06,792 --> 00:02:09,377
and then there's going to be
a couple of "blups",
46
00:02:09,402 --> 00:02:12,166
and the blups are the jelly
coming out, OK?
47
00:02:12,191 --> 00:02:14,457
Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly.
48
00:02:14,482 --> 00:02:16,937
Look, I see an alive one!
49
00:02:16,962 --> 00:02:20,166
Blup! Oh! Look - we've got things
living in our pond,
50
00:02:20,191 --> 00:02:22,487
and we haven't finished
building it yet!
51
00:02:22,512 --> 00:02:24,807
And speaking of unfinished...
52
00:02:24,832 --> 00:02:27,127
How many have we got?
Somebody count them. Oh, oh...!
53
00:02:27,152 --> 00:02:28,096
LAUGHTER
54
00:02:28,121 --> 00:02:31,887
There's a hole there, I've dug a
hole there to plant the plants in.
55
00:02:31,912 --> 00:02:36,247
As it turns out, it's been dug
especially for our new shrub...
56
00:02:36,272 --> 00:02:38,577
I did...
57
00:02:38,602 --> 00:02:41,327
...but first we have to
get it in.
58
00:02:41,352 --> 00:02:43,657
Arthur, go and get me the
wheelbarrow that's over there.
59
00:02:43,682 --> 00:02:44,817
OK? Mind the hole.
60
00:02:46,152 --> 00:02:47,247
Come on. Careful.
61
00:02:47,272 --> 00:02:48,487
It's only a tree!
62
00:02:52,152 --> 00:02:53,767
Look, you can do it,
it's a big tree.
63
00:02:53,792 --> 00:02:56,127
That's good, that's
exactly where I wanted it.
64
00:02:56,152 --> 00:02:59,327
We're planting a treelike shrub
called broom
65
00:02:59,352 --> 00:03:01,966
for shade and to attract insects
to my pond.
66
00:03:01,991 --> 00:03:03,767
Perfect. Right!
67
00:03:04,871 --> 00:03:08,096
There's going to be lovely yellow
flowers on it, lots of bees on it.
68
00:03:08,121 --> 00:03:09,966
Does it look part of our pond?
69
00:03:09,991 --> 00:03:12,296
Yeah. It looks like it is
meant to be there.
70
00:03:17,602 --> 00:03:19,537
Now that our plans
are taking root...
71
00:03:19,562 --> 00:03:20,607
There you go.
72
00:03:20,632 --> 00:03:22,887
...it's time for us to help
you with your projects.
73
00:03:24,712 --> 00:03:27,377
There's an awful lot of emails.
74
00:03:27,402 --> 00:03:29,176
More than ever.
75
00:03:29,201 --> 00:03:31,966
The thing I like about this is, of
course, that everybody else is busy!
76
00:03:34,071 --> 00:03:36,377
Hi, Dick and Angel. My name's Lexie
77
00:03:36,402 --> 00:03:40,017
and I'm currently in the process of
renovating my first home,
78
00:03:40,042 --> 00:03:41,487
and I have a project
79
00:03:41,512 --> 00:03:45,046
that I would really love you
both to help me with.
80
00:03:45,071 --> 00:03:48,296
It's a very dusty old coal cellar.
81
00:03:48,321 --> 00:03:50,577
Wow. Love it!
82
00:03:50,602 --> 00:03:52,327
That's a good space.
83
00:03:52,352 --> 00:03:53,966
It is.
84
00:03:53,991 --> 00:03:58,966
The intention is for the space
to be kind of a speakeasy... Yes!
85
00:03:58,991 --> 00:04:01,046
...1920s style bar
86
00:04:01,071 --> 00:04:05,687
where I can have a bar and movie
area for friends and family.
87
00:04:05,712 --> 00:04:11,607
So, please help me turn
my dingy, dark, miserable cellar
88
00:04:11,632 --> 00:04:16,577
into somewhere that's emulant
of that old Hollywood vibe.
89
00:04:16,602 --> 00:04:17,817
I'm quite excited by this.
90
00:04:17,842 --> 00:04:21,577
Whenever I used to go to something
that resembled a speakeasy -
91
00:04:21,602 --> 00:04:23,897
no, I don't mean it was
illegal drinking!
92
00:04:23,922 --> 00:04:24,897
I am listening here! No!
93
00:04:24,922 --> 00:04:27,257
Just thinking...
No, there's a lot, you know...
94
00:04:27,282 --> 00:04:29,046
When I was being a
crusty army colonel,
95
00:04:29,071 --> 00:04:30,607
you were off going to speakeasies.
96
00:04:30,632 --> 00:04:35,817
No, but I have been to lots of bars
in the arches and in basements
97
00:04:35,842 --> 00:04:38,487
that have been inspired by that era,
98
00:04:38,512 --> 00:04:41,817
and what I want to do is kind of get
into Lexie's mind
99
00:04:41,842 --> 00:04:43,567
and see where she's going
aesthetically.
100
00:04:43,592 --> 00:04:46,207
I've just written down, "Damp proof,
electricity and lights."
101
00:04:46,232 --> 00:04:48,846
And I've written down,
"Cosy, mirror, red curtains."
102
00:04:50,991 --> 00:04:54,966
Originating in 1920s America
during Prohibition,
103
00:04:54,991 --> 00:04:58,976
speakeasies were nightclubs
that sold illicit alcohol
104
00:04:59,001 --> 00:05:02,327
and were often
to be found underground -
105
00:05:02,352 --> 00:05:06,657
and I know just where to find
inspiration for Lexie's project,
106
00:05:07,562 --> 00:05:09,017
The chateau's boudoir.
107
00:05:11,402 --> 00:05:14,407
This room was always a very,
very dark room,
108
00:05:14,432 --> 00:05:16,457
and, actually, the light in here
109
00:05:16,482 --> 00:05:19,207
inspired the way that
I was going to go with it,
110
00:05:19,232 --> 00:05:22,257
and I've gone for blacks
and burgundies and golds,
111
00:05:22,282 --> 00:05:24,926
and greens, actually, as well.
112
00:05:24,951 --> 00:05:27,407
But before I get too carried away,
113
00:05:27,432 --> 00:05:30,926
I need to check that Lexie's got
the same vision.
114
00:05:30,951 --> 00:05:33,257
Hello, darling! Hello!
115
00:05:33,282 --> 00:05:37,176
Lexie, I squealed
when I saw your project.
116
00:05:37,201 --> 00:05:38,817
I mean, a speakeasy!
117
00:05:38,842 --> 00:05:42,657
Yeah. There's something about
it being in your basement
118
00:05:42,682 --> 00:05:45,846
that's just quite exciting.
Yes. Yeah, yeah, definitely!
119
00:05:45,871 --> 00:05:48,220
Well, let's just start on the feel.
120
00:05:48,245 --> 00:05:52,611
So, in terms of colours, I'd like
it to feel quite rich down there.
121
00:05:52,636 --> 00:05:55,045
I think that's that,
kind of that era. Yeah.
122
00:05:55,070 --> 00:05:57,536
So, it's deep greens or reds
or things like that.
123
00:05:57,561 --> 00:05:59,376
Really opulent. Yes.
124
00:05:59,401 --> 00:06:01,406
And glamorous. Yes.
125
00:06:01,431 --> 00:06:04,766
And what elements do
you specifically want?
126
00:06:04,791 --> 00:06:06,536
A bar. Yes.
127
00:06:06,561 --> 00:06:07,766
Seated? Yeah.
128
00:06:07,791 --> 00:06:11,016
Seated, yeah, definitely,
with that back brick space.
129
00:06:11,041 --> 00:06:14,075
Are you looking to have
a cocktail cabinet... Yeah.
130
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:16,865
...or are you thinking
that your coal chute,
131
00:06:16,890 --> 00:06:19,556
that that becomes your
cocktail cabinet?
132
00:06:19,581 --> 00:06:20,786
That's a great idea.
133
00:06:20,811 --> 00:06:23,636
I'm really getting into, "Where are
we gonna put our cocktail sticks?"
134
00:06:23,661 --> 00:06:26,226
I probably won't leave, by the way.
135
00:06:26,251 --> 00:06:28,756
I'll go down there -
l'lljust go down there.
136
00:06:28,781 --> 00:06:31,716
Now I know the vision... Yes.
137
00:06:31,741 --> 00:06:35,396
...there's some details that we
need from you. Yeah, of course.
138
00:06:35,421 --> 00:06:37,756
Have you got anything
around the house
139
00:06:37,781 --> 00:06:40,945
that you think would be exactly
right for this project
140
00:06:40,970 --> 00:06:42,436
that we could utilise?
141
00:06:42,461 --> 00:06:45,276
Hmm, I'd have to go on a bit
of a hunt, I think,
142
00:06:45,301 --> 00:06:49,716
and see what's...what might work
with the colours and the feel. OK.
143
00:06:49,741 --> 00:06:54,115
Even if you've got cocktail
shakers, you know, pineapples,
144
00:06:54,140 --> 00:06:57,130
any of these little bits that
you think are going to go down
145
00:06:57,155 --> 00:07:00,365
and I'm going to start
creating that room. Wonderful.
146
00:07:00,390 --> 00:07:04,834
Honestly, I don't know if I'm
more excited than you about this!
147
00:07:04,859 --> 00:07:07,275
Right, we will speak very soon.
148
00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:10,084
Thank you. I'll do my homework.
Thank you. Bye, darling. Bye! Bye!
149
00:07:11,189 --> 00:07:14,555
Have we got anywhere that could
be...? N0. N0? N0. N0.
150
00:07:14,580 --> 00:07:17,605
Before you - we can't have a
speakeasy in our cellar.
151
00:07:17,630 --> 00:07:19,445
Don't even think about it.
152
00:07:21,790 --> 00:07:24,725
While Lexie raids her home
for Art Deco inspiration,
153
00:07:24,750 --> 00:07:28,044
I want to check on the frogspawn
we introduced to the pond.
154
00:07:29,470 --> 00:07:31,245
Right, come over here, look.
155
00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:33,044
Tell me what you can see.
156
00:07:33,069 --> 00:07:35,020
Look at the little tiny tadpoles!
157
00:07:35,045 --> 00:07:37,381
Oh, there's one!
There's one swimming!
158
00:07:37,406 --> 00:07:39,691
Those tadpoles are going to get
bigger and bigger and bigger,
159
00:07:39,716 --> 00:07:42,451
and then gradually they're gonna
grow legs and become little frogs.
160
00:07:42,476 --> 00:07:44,381
There must be thousands
in there.
161
00:07:44,406 --> 00:07:46,691
When these come out,
what do frogs eat?
162
00:07:46,716 --> 00:07:48,611
Slugs. Slugs. What do slugs eat?
163
00:07:48,636 --> 00:07:51,001
My lettuce!
164
00:07:51,026 --> 00:07:53,451
So, every one of these frogs
are our friends.
165
00:07:53,476 --> 00:07:57,411
When we get, like, an actual frog,
I'm going to keep one as a pet.
166
00:07:59,306 --> 00:08:01,920
Well, Arthur should be spoilt
for choice.
167
00:08:01,945 --> 00:08:05,001
We'll check in later
on our pond project
168
00:08:05,026 --> 00:08:07,891
to see how Mother Nature settles in.
169
00:08:07,916 --> 00:08:12,281
But for now, let's head inside
for another one of your requests.
170
00:08:12,306 --> 00:08:16,050
Who have we got? This is...
Mandy and Paul. Right.
171
00:08:16,075 --> 00:08:17,201
Hi, Dick and Angel.
172
00:08:17,226 --> 00:08:18,920
I'm Mandy...
173
00:08:18,945 --> 00:08:20,251
...and we live here in Shetland.
174
00:08:20,276 --> 00:08:23,201
They don't sound like Shetlanders.
175
00:08:31,226 --> 00:08:33,170
I have no idea what croft is.
176
00:08:33,195 --> 00:08:35,531
Crofts are basically
like smallholdings,
177
00:08:35,556 --> 00:08:37,891
but it's usually, you have to have
animals and grow things.
178
00:08:37,916 --> 00:08:40,251
It's like a way of having
self-sufficiency on a bit of land.
179
00:08:40,276 --> 00:08:43,811
They've made a decision to come
to an area with a croft
180
00:08:43,836 --> 00:08:46,170
and live differently.
Yeah. That's a huge decision.
181
00:08:46,195 --> 00:08:48,850
That is stunning. Oh, I love it!
182
00:08:48,875 --> 00:08:50,850
Being an old croft house,
183
00:08:50,875 --> 00:08:52,850
it's only one room thick,
184
00:08:52,875 --> 00:08:55,211
so, if we have guests
coming to stay,
185
00:08:55,236 --> 00:08:57,720
we have to walk backwards and
forwards past them,
186
00:08:57,745 --> 00:08:59,531
obviously, while they're in bed.
187
00:09:00,666 --> 00:09:04,211
You can see that this is the walk
through for our bedroom.
188
00:09:04,236 --> 00:09:06,531
So, we need to be able to access
189
00:09:06,556 --> 00:09:09,170
through the door
we've just come through
190
00:09:09,195 --> 00:09:11,491
in order to reach the bathroom.
191
00:09:11,516 --> 00:09:15,100
We looked at a couple of chateaus,
and they had amazing frontage...
192
00:09:15,125 --> 00:09:16,641
Yes. ..but there were
one room thick,
193
00:09:16,666 --> 00:09:19,050
and it's like they old sort of idea
if you go from one room,
194
00:09:19,075 --> 00:09:21,411
one state room through a door
to the next state room,
195
00:09:21,436 --> 00:09:23,081
through another door
to the next state room...
196
00:09:23,106 --> 00:09:25,001
That's because that's
the easiest thing to do.
197
00:09:25,026 --> 00:09:27,001
Before we come up with any
suggestions for them,
198
00:09:27,026 --> 00:09:29,891
I think we need to get a style head
in there, understand what they want,
199
00:09:29,916 --> 00:09:32,211
and then we'll come up with the
technical bits, yeah?
200
00:09:32,236 --> 00:09:33,331
Completely, completely agree.
201
00:09:34,666 --> 00:09:36,970
Although the chateau is huge,
202
00:09:36,995 --> 00:09:40,180
it has all sorts of
unusual nooks and crannies,
203
00:09:40,205 --> 00:09:43,930
as well as some simple
yet effective room divisions...
204
00:09:45,516 --> 00:09:49,001
...and we are joining Mandy and Paul
at one of them.
205
00:09:49,026 --> 00:09:51,641
Hi!
206
00:09:51,666 --> 00:09:53,211
I'm going to tip you up here.
207
00:09:53,236 --> 00:09:54,850
Watch, see what happens
when I tip you up.
208
00:09:54,875 --> 00:09:56,891
Can you see the edges there?
209
00:09:56,916 --> 00:09:58,441
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
210
00:09:58,466 --> 00:10:00,131
Yeah, well, this is
the honeymoon suite,
211
00:10:00,156 --> 00:10:01,891
and this alcove had beds.
212
00:10:01,916 --> 00:10:04,641
There were basically
curtains to keep the draft out...
213
00:10:04,666 --> 00:10:07,641
...and people have the beds
behind the curtains.
214
00:10:13,156 --> 00:10:15,441
How private do you want
that area to be?
215
00:10:15,466 --> 00:10:17,001
It's not going to be soundproof.
216
00:10:17,026 --> 00:10:19,970
Because, I mean, the whole
house isn't soundproof.
217
00:10:19,995 --> 00:10:22,331
It's like Quality Street,
it's made for sharing.
218
00:10:22,356 --> 00:10:24,930
So, people have to be discreet -
219
00:10:24,955 --> 00:10:27,850
but in terms of giving them
some privacy
220
00:10:27,875 --> 00:10:30,441
so they can get changed
in private...
221
00:10:30,466 --> 00:10:33,331
How much of the space are
you prepared to give up?
222
00:10:35,156 --> 00:10:37,800
Well, because the croft
goes right up into the eaves,
223
00:10:37,825 --> 00:10:39,691
we've got no loft space.
224
00:10:39,716 --> 00:10:44,441
So, really, we need to be able
to create some storage in here.
225
00:10:44,466 --> 00:10:47,611
Sure. What we need to understand
is the size of your space,
226
00:10:47,636 --> 00:10:50,291
and if you could just sort of
shade an area
227
00:10:50,316 --> 00:10:53,291
and say, "This is the area
we think should be private."
228
00:10:53,316 --> 00:10:55,131
If you could have a little look
229
00:10:55,156 --> 00:10:57,901
for any materials that you've
potentially got, as well,
230
00:10:57,926 --> 00:10:59,411
for curtains... Yeah.
231
00:10:59,436 --> 00:11:01,720
Right, I think we've all
got a bit of homework to do.
232
00:11:01,745 --> 00:11:03,081
Mainly you guys, for the minute,
233
00:11:03,106 --> 00:11:05,720
but then the ball will be
in our court.
234
00:11:05,745 --> 00:11:08,131
Take care, you two. Take it easy!
Thanks for chatting to us.
235
00:11:08,156 --> 00:11:09,611
Bye!
236
00:11:09,636 --> 00:11:12,651
Two years in, learning to live
with the place.
237
00:11:12,676 --> 00:11:13,800
That's a really big thing.
238
00:11:13,825 --> 00:11:17,050
You have to live in a place before
you know how you want to use it.
239
00:11:17,075 --> 00:11:19,411
Yeah. It was three years before we
started on ours.
240
00:11:19,436 --> 00:11:21,970
We should have started with a croft,
it would have been so much easier.
241
00:11:21,995 --> 00:11:23,571
We should have started with
a bungalow,
242
00:11:23,596 --> 00:11:24,901
it would have been really easy.
243
00:11:39,955 --> 00:11:43,860
Although we've no guests
at the chateau right now,
244
00:11:43,885 --> 00:11:46,930
there's still plenty
on our to-do list.
245
00:11:48,316 --> 00:11:52,284
And we're not the only ones who've
been busy.
246
00:11:52,309 --> 00:11:54,034
A few days ago, I asked Lexie
247
00:11:54,059 --> 00:11:58,644
to draw up a plan of the cellar she
wants to turn into a speakeasy.
248
00:11:58,669 --> 00:12:00,134
But she's gone one better
249
00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:02,774
and sent me a guided tour.
250
00:12:02,799 --> 00:12:04,084
First of all, the coal chute.
251
00:12:04,109 --> 00:12:07,923
This will be sandblasted -
hopefully, come up nicely.
252
00:12:07,948 --> 00:12:10,524
This is going to be, hopefully,
the seating
253
00:12:10,549 --> 00:12:12,853
for when we're watching movies.
254
00:12:12,878 --> 00:12:15,803
And I think, with some nice
upholstery and nice cushions,
255
00:12:15,828 --> 00:12:17,644
we can make this feel really cosy.
256
00:12:17,669 --> 00:12:20,244
I've started to collect some things
just to give you an idea
257
00:12:20,269 --> 00:12:23,853
of my style - just things
that are a little bit quirky,
258
00:12:23,878 --> 00:12:26,364
not kind of your normal
run-of-the-mill.
259
00:12:26,389 --> 00:12:29,683
I found this black and white
tile that I had left
260
00:12:29,708 --> 00:12:32,324
over from a project. They're nice.
261
00:12:32,349 --> 00:12:35,644
I think that might pop
really nicely against the brick.
262
00:12:35,669 --> 00:12:40,524
And then I also grabbed this
offcut of some brick wallpaper.
263
00:12:40,549 --> 00:12:42,964
That's hopefully how the wall's
going to look down there,
264
00:12:42,989 --> 00:12:44,294
once it's been shot blasted.
265
00:12:44,319 --> 00:12:47,004
Come and have a little look at this
brick. That's wallpaper, isn't it?
266
00:12:47,029 --> 00:12:49,933
But that looks like what she's got
already.
267
00:12:49,958 --> 00:12:52,324
What's going to happen
when she sandblasts?
268
00:12:52,349 --> 00:12:55,004
It's like sandpapering it. Right.
But it's much more aggressive.
269
00:12:55,029 --> 00:12:57,574
It would clean off all the bricks
and it's all going to be uniform.
270
00:12:57,599 --> 00:12:59,214
OK, I need to speak
to her about that.
271
00:12:59,239 --> 00:13:01,933
I'm going to give her a call.
272
00:13:01,958 --> 00:13:04,444
Hi, Lexie. You're looking gorgeous.
273
00:13:04,469 --> 00:13:06,803
Oh, thank you.
So do you, as always.
274
00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:09,084
Put on my favourite lashes today!
Oh, wonderful.
275
00:13:10,708 --> 00:13:13,044
So, we've got quite a lot
to talk about, OK?
276
00:13:13,069 --> 00:13:15,853
You look like you're going to
sandblast everything.
277
00:13:15,878 --> 00:13:20,214
I don't know if it is the right
thing for you, purely based
278
00:13:20,239 --> 00:13:23,404
on you showing us your wallpaper.
279
00:13:23,429 --> 00:13:25,084
You know, that is a look
that people want.
280
00:13:25,109 --> 00:13:29,574
And you only get that look with age
and time. Yeah.
281
00:13:29,599 --> 00:13:32,084
Wire brush the walls. OK. Yes.
282
00:13:32,109 --> 00:13:35,574
Go and get all the loose stuff
off of the brickwork. Yeah.
283
00:13:35,599 --> 00:13:41,134
Now, the big job that you've got
to do, which is going to absolutely
284
00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:44,574
elevate this place, is obviously
your seating area.
285
00:13:44,599 --> 00:13:46,244
Are you up for doing that?
286
00:13:46,269 --> 00:13:48,884
Yes, I'm going to give it a go.
Right.
287
00:13:48,909 --> 00:13:51,244
OK, let me turn this around.
288
00:13:51,269 --> 00:13:52,683
Right.
289
00:13:52,708 --> 00:13:53,764
Oh, wow.
290
00:13:53,789 --> 00:13:58,444
This is basically plywood,
foam and velvet.
291
00:13:58,469 --> 00:14:00,244
You can just do any shape.
292
00:14:00,269 --> 00:14:02,044
Have you done any upholstery before?
293
00:14:02,069 --> 00:14:04,444
I've only done chairs.
But you get the concept?
294
00:14:04,469 --> 00:14:06,764
Yeah, I think it's just breaking
it down into chunks
295
00:14:06,789 --> 00:14:09,014
so it doesn't feel so overwhelming.
296
00:14:11,628 --> 00:14:16,134
I'm delighted Lexie is up for trying
a banquette in her speakeasy.
297
00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:18,483
Coming from the French word for
bench,
298
00:14:18,508 --> 00:14:22,853
they have either placed
against or built onto a wall.
299
00:14:22,878 --> 00:14:24,654
And now I've cut my wood to shape,
300
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:28,574
I've come up with a simple
but effective way to upholster it.
301
00:14:30,878 --> 00:14:34,294
She's going to have a staple
gun, her Dacron and her fabric
302
00:14:34,319 --> 00:14:35,404
cut to size.
303
00:14:40,789 --> 00:14:43,654
Bottom-top or top-bottom,
whatever you want.
304
00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:47,483
Good. That's my first bit.
305
00:14:47,508 --> 00:14:50,374
Then I've got my first bit of
fabric.
306
00:14:53,399 --> 00:14:54,603
So, on this one,
307
00:14:54,628 --> 00:14:56,524
I'm just doing a folded corner.
308
00:14:58,909 --> 00:15:03,294
OK, now, I've got this sort of big
bit of...of fabric,
309
00:15:03,319 --> 00:15:05,654
and I've got to get it round
the curve.
310
00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:09,214
So you kind of manipulate it. But to
make sure I've got no creases,
311
00:15:09,239 --> 00:15:11,483
so I can see I've got no
creases there...
312
00:15:12,708 --> 00:15:13,733
OK.
313
00:15:14,869 --> 00:15:16,574
OK.
314
00:15:16,599 --> 00:15:18,853
First one.
315
00:15:18,878 --> 00:15:20,454
Oh, wow. Done.
316
00:15:20,479 --> 00:15:22,476
And on with the next one.
317
00:15:22,501 --> 00:15:25,765
Right. Now, this is similar
318
00:15:25,790 --> 00:15:27,734
to, like, an upholstery tape.
319
00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:29,525
I'm using just a piece of card,
320
00:15:29,550 --> 00:15:32,375
but it's going to give this lovely
crisp edge.
321
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,045
What I'm going to do is
322
00:15:34,070 --> 00:15:36,814
I'm going to put in one here,
323
00:15:36,839 --> 00:15:39,405
pop it right on the edge.
324
00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:40,405
One here.
325
00:15:42,709 --> 00:15:45,484
All right. Now I'm going to
just check...
326
00:15:45,509 --> 00:15:48,375
Oh, yeah. Look, I've got a line.
That's got a nice, crisp line.
327
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,575
Yes.
328
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,245
Now I'm happy it's in place...
329
00:15:52,270 --> 00:15:53,934
Do we buy bulk orders of staples?
330
00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:58,765
So at this point, Lexie would do
the foam and then the Dacron,
331
00:15:58,790 --> 00:16:01,125
as she would have done
the first time.
332
00:16:01,150 --> 00:16:05,484
Not just for speakeasies, banquettes
can add extra seating in any room
333
00:16:05,509 --> 00:16:07,205
where space is tight.
334
00:16:07,230 --> 00:16:09,525
There we go.
There'll be a seat there.
335
00:16:09,550 --> 00:16:10,734
I'm happy with it.
336
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:15,455
But, most importantly, I think
that Lexie can do it
337
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:16,885
and enjoy doing it.
338
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:21,245
Whilst Lexie stock up on staples,
339
00:16:21,270 --> 00:16:24,814
I need to find out how Shetland
crofters Mandy and Paul
340
00:16:24,839 --> 00:16:27,734
have been getting on with measuring
up for their privacy screen
341
00:16:27,759 --> 00:16:29,484
and storage.
342
00:16:29,509 --> 00:16:30,885
What have they sent me?
343
00:16:30,910 --> 00:16:34,405
What's that? 340.
344
00:16:34,430 --> 00:16:36,845
Er, 179.
345
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:38,765
That's a good size space.
346
00:16:50,589 --> 00:16:52,045
I think I've got enough information
347
00:16:52,070 --> 00:16:53,684
to go and put something together
for them,
348
00:16:53,709 --> 00:16:56,015
and just see if we're going the
right direction.
349
00:16:57,150 --> 00:17:00,925
So, in order to show Mandy and Paul
how to create some privacy for
350
00:17:00,950 --> 00:17:03,325
guests, and storage for themselves,
351
00:17:03,350 --> 00:17:07,095
I've made a mock-up of their croft
space in my workshop.
352
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:11,965
Our mission is to screen
this but over here, so I can go
353
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:14,925
here and nobody can see
what I'm doing, OK?
354
00:17:14,950 --> 00:17:18,375
Here they're going to be
building their wardrobe.
355
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,484
So this doorframe is attached
on the corner of their wardrobe.
356
00:17:21,509 --> 00:17:25,045
We'll turn it into a room by
hinging the whole frame
357
00:17:25,070 --> 00:17:27,285
around to this position.
358
00:17:28,230 --> 00:17:29,965
Click it into the ground.
359
00:17:29,990 --> 00:17:31,535
That is just genius.
360
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,895
And the thing is with the curtains,
is that... I haven't got there yet.
361
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,455
Because what I was thinking...
362
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,095
I need to see what's going on
up there.
363
00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:45,734
All I'm doing is putting
something to hold this up here,
364
00:17:45,759 --> 00:17:48,095
like this.
When was last time I hung a curtain?
365
00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:49,895
I don't know.
I was just thinking that.
366
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,405
Not in our relationship.
367
00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:54,015
The curtain is now available
to pull.
368
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,375
But we have to take it across to
the far side.
369
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,925
Look at the little stainless steel
hook... Yeah. See?
370
00:17:58,950 --> 00:18:02,125
If I get this to attach
to that, we will have done
371
00:18:02,150 --> 00:18:03,484
something quite clever.
372
00:18:04,790 --> 00:18:07,895
So this is just my little block.
373
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,925
We take the end of our cable...
374
00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:12,614
...click it in.
375
00:18:12,639 --> 00:18:13,855
Not enough tension,
376
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,564
so what I have to do is tighten it.
377
00:18:16,589 --> 00:18:18,455
And that's what these little
tensioners so.
378
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,765
See? It's tightening it up,
nice and tight.
379
00:18:21,790 --> 00:18:24,335
OK. I think that's great.
380
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:28,045
That doesn't look too terrible
as it is, yeah?
381
00:18:28,070 --> 00:18:31,045
Click this up, swing this back.
382
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,095
In the stowed position...
383
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:36,845
...the curtain stays there.
384
00:18:36,870 --> 00:18:39,684
You've worked out the privacy,
but also their storage. Yeah.
385
00:18:39,709 --> 00:18:40,684
It's great.
386
00:18:42,509 --> 00:18:45,484
We'll check back in with Mandy
and Paul later on.
387
00:18:45,509 --> 00:18:48,814
But for now, I've headed back
to the boudoir where I want to
388
00:18:48,839 --> 00:18:52,694
create a 3D mood board to help
inspire a design
389
00:18:52,719 --> 00:18:54,645
for Lexie's speakeasy.
390
00:18:56,430 --> 00:19:00,125
Lexie's got that trunk, hasn't she,
of all her bits and pieces?
391
00:19:00,150 --> 00:19:03,375
I've sort of done the same thing
and I'm pulling it together,
392
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,694
more to kind of get me into the next
393
00:19:06,719 --> 00:19:09,975
level of taking on Lexie's
sort of design.
394
00:19:11,521 --> 00:19:16,785
This is basically going to be a
table full of bits and pieces. Yeah.
395
00:19:16,810 --> 00:19:18,146
Mr and Mrs Martini.
396
00:19:19,331 --> 00:19:21,176
So a mood board gets you
in the mood?
397
00:19:21,201 --> 00:19:25,176
The mood board gets you completely
in the mood. Yeah.
398
00:19:25,201 --> 00:19:28,736
To me, this is the star
of Lexie's speakeasy.
399
00:19:28,761 --> 00:19:31,535
It says glamour. It says I'm going
to have a drink in a minute,
400
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,335
and I've got to put my best
perfume on.
401
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:35,616
And to finish it off,
402
00:19:35,641 --> 00:19:37,455
your candlelit speakeasy table.
403
00:19:39,921 --> 00:19:42,946
I'll be sharing my design
with Lexie later.
404
00:19:46,001 --> 00:19:50,506
Now it's time to head up to Shetland
to see what's going down with
405
00:19:50,531 --> 00:19:53,665
Mandy and Paul's crafty croft
conversion.
406
00:19:53,690 --> 00:19:57,306
We've been here six years - that
seat I've sat on so many times.
407
00:19:57,331 --> 00:20:00,066
And the minute I let you sit on
my seat, look what you've done!
408
00:20:00,091 --> 00:20:02,616
We'll see what we can do as we go
along, here.
409
00:20:03,971 --> 00:20:05,535
Stuff.
410
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,665
Let's see how Paul and Mandy are
getting on, all right?
411
00:20:08,690 --> 00:20:15,816
I'm just going to see if we've got
a suitable door for the partition
412
00:20:15,841 --> 00:20:17,226
for the project.
413
00:20:17,251 --> 00:20:20,066
And I think we've got two
in the shed here.
414
00:20:20,091 --> 00:20:22,506
Oh, and, by the way,
this is Stuart...
415
00:20:24,281 --> 00:20:25,665
...one of our caddy lambs.
416
00:20:25,690 --> 00:20:29,026
That's definitely too big
and too heavy, that one.
417
00:20:29,051 --> 00:20:31,746
But this one is ideal.
418
00:20:31,771 --> 00:20:33,106
It's a solid door.
419
00:20:38,451 --> 00:20:41,335
That's a big size old wardrobe,
there... It really is.
420
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:42,585
Oh, that's looking great.
421
00:20:42,610 --> 00:20:44,535
I mean, they've got a proper bit of
storage in there.
422
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,896
I'd just like to catch up and see
where they've got on that,
423
00:20:46,921 --> 00:20:49,271
and I'm sure they must be getting
arty soon.
424
00:20:49,296 --> 00:20:51,976
Hello! Hey! Hello!
425
00:20:52,001 --> 00:20:53,306
That's a big old wardrobe.
426
00:20:53,331 --> 00:20:55,665
Yeah.
I'm going to live in it, I think.
427
00:20:55,690 --> 00:20:57,535
Have you sort of worked out what you
want to do about
428
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,056
your cu rtainy effect?
429
00:21:14,810 --> 00:21:17,946
I'm really glad you've got the sheet
because the number one thing
430
00:21:17,971 --> 00:21:21,026
here is for it to be private.
431
00:21:21,051 --> 00:21:24,616
Can I just say, in this whole
thing, my wife has talked
432
00:21:24,641 --> 00:21:27,946
about function first,
and this is unheard of!
433
00:21:27,971 --> 00:21:30,665
I've always actually done that.
434
00:21:30,690 --> 00:21:33,026
I have, I have!
I mean, you've got to...
435
00:21:33,051 --> 00:21:35,616
If you put the two together and you
are confident that they've got
436
00:21:35,641 --> 00:21:38,896
the privacy you want, it's going
to look completely gorgeous.
437
00:21:38,921 --> 00:21:41,976
And I can picture it now because,
Mandy, you're a bit of an artist,
438
00:21:42,001 --> 00:21:44,465
aren't you? You're going to have
really moody colours and a bit
439
00:21:44,490 --> 00:21:46,026
of your artistic work.
440
00:21:46,051 --> 00:21:50,436
Yeah.
441
00:21:52,801 --> 00:21:57,186
Oh, yes!
442
00:21:57,211 --> 00:22:00,896
Yeah. I personally would maybe
consider spreading them
443
00:22:00,921 --> 00:22:02,665
so they come out from the doors
444
00:22:02,690 --> 00:22:05,585
and you've got some of the
botanicals on the walls.
445
00:22:05,610 --> 00:22:08,436
Yeah.
That's great, isn't it?
446
00:22:08,461 --> 00:22:10,746
Listen, lovely chatting to you.
Can't wait to see it done.
447
00:22:10,771 --> 00:22:12,256
Take care. Bye! Bye-bye!
448
00:22:14,081 --> 00:22:18,506
We'll leave Mandy with her pristine
lace and linen, and check
449
00:22:18,531 --> 00:22:21,866
in with Lexie, who has a much
dirtierjob on her hands
450
00:22:21,891 --> 00:22:23,826
in the cellar.
451
00:22:23,851 --> 00:22:25,106
Hi, Dick and Angel.
452
00:22:25,131 --> 00:22:28,896
So, I'm just here with my dad Spike,
and we're going to be doing
453
00:22:28,921 --> 00:22:30,306
the dog work down here.
454
00:22:30,331 --> 00:22:32,976
So, today we're going to be starting
to scrape the paint off the walls.
455
00:22:40,161 --> 00:22:42,906
They have got a tiny brush.
456
00:22:42,931 --> 00:22:45,776
I'm just feeling for them
because they've made their
457
00:22:45,801 --> 00:22:47,415
work a little bit bigger.
458
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,826
We've scraped all of the old lime
mortar off the walls.
459
00:22:50,851 --> 00:22:54,056
This is where we're going to have
the projector aiming onto.
460
00:22:54,081 --> 00:22:55,056
It's come up lovely.
461
00:22:56,570 --> 00:22:58,866
Now the cellar is back to basics,
462
00:22:58,891 --> 00:23:03,226
I want to show Lexie my vision
for her speakeasy.
463
00:23:03,251 --> 00:23:05,266
So, I've got something to show you.
464
00:23:05,291 --> 00:23:07,636
I'm going to send it to you now.
465
00:23:07,661 --> 00:23:10,076
OK, I've got it. Oh, wow!
466
00:23:10,101 --> 00:23:11,996
That looks incredible.
467
00:23:12,021 --> 00:23:14,536
Is it how you thought
it was going to look?
468
00:23:14,561 --> 00:23:16,536
No. It looks far better.
469
00:23:17,991 --> 00:23:19,286
That's great!
470
00:23:19,311 --> 00:23:21,605
Oh, no, that's absolutely amazing.
471
00:23:21,630 --> 00:23:23,046
Honestly, I've got a little
goose bumps.
472
00:23:23,071 --> 00:23:24,796
I'm really, really excited for you.
473
00:23:24,821 --> 00:23:27,406
It's so nice to see how
it will look,
474
00:23:27,431 --> 00:23:29,046
and it kind of is motivating me
475
00:23:29,071 --> 00:23:31,485
to go and do another day's work in
there today.
476
00:23:31,510 --> 00:23:33,766
So, speak to you soon.
Bye, darling. Bye!
477
00:23:41,671 --> 00:23:46,046
A few weeks ago, Mandy and Paul came
to us for help in creating extra
478
00:23:46,071 --> 00:23:49,326
storage
and privacy in their Shetland croft.
479
00:23:49,351 --> 00:23:50,716
There they both are!
480
00:23:59,710 --> 00:24:03,406
Since then, they've been busy
working their socks off, getting
481
00:24:03,431 --> 00:24:07,796
it ready for their first
human guests.
482
00:24:07,821 --> 00:24:11,406
And we can't wait to see
what they've created.
483
00:24:11,431 --> 00:24:13,685
There we are.
That's what it WAS like.
484
00:24:16,901 --> 00:24:19,286
That's brilliant. Well done.
Oh, that's fantastic.
485
00:24:22,541 --> 00:24:23,846
Yeah...
486
00:24:23,871 --> 00:24:28,796
The recessing in of the sofa
bed... It's tied it in lovely.
487
00:24:32,431 --> 00:24:34,006
It's so special and unique.
488
00:24:35,431 --> 00:24:37,726
Oh, yeah, it's fantastic.
489
00:24:37,751 --> 00:24:40,006
It's like that was always there.
490
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,206
Whoa!
491
00:24:44,231 --> 00:24:46,726
Oh, yeah!
492
00:24:46,751 --> 00:24:49,046
Good job. Good job.
493
00:24:49,071 --> 00:24:50,876
That's a proper guest room,
isn't it?
494
00:24:50,901 --> 00:24:53,766
Well done.
Oh, it's worked so well.
495
00:25:04,361 --> 00:25:07,435
They're really made good use
of that space.
496
00:25:07,460 --> 00:25:10,006
That is fantastic.
497
00:25:10,031 --> 00:25:11,235
Well done.
498
00:25:11,260 --> 00:25:13,565
Let's give them a call and
say hello.
499
00:25:13,590 --> 00:25:14,876
Hey!
500
00:25:14,901 --> 00:25:15,926
Well done.
501
00:25:15,951 --> 00:25:17,365
THEY LAUGH
502
00:25:17,390 --> 00:25:19,685
Thank you. Yeah, we're really
chuffed with it, aren't we?
503
00:25:26,311 --> 00:25:27,646
Yeah.
504
00:25:27,671 --> 00:25:30,006
I loved your thought behind
everything, though.
505
00:25:30,031 --> 00:25:33,516
You know, the wrens, and the bees
over the handle. It's so lovely.
506
00:25:33,541 --> 00:25:36,156
Not only is it functional
and it works, it felt
507
00:25:36,181 --> 00:25:38,126
like it had always been there.
It does.
508
00:25:38,151 --> 00:25:41,046
And thank you so much, because we've
loved having your help.
509
00:25:41,071 --> 00:25:44,156
It's been an absolute pleasure.
Loved looking around the Shetlands.
510
00:25:44,181 --> 00:25:46,485
Listen, take care, you two. Yeah.
It's been an absolute.
511
00:25:46,510 --> 00:25:48,485
Bless you. Thank you.
512
00:25:48,510 --> 00:25:50,726
See you! Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Bye.
513
00:26:02,517 --> 00:26:05,293
The chateau is buzzing
with excitement
514
00:26:05,318 --> 00:26:08,293
as our wildlife pond is coming
to life.
515
00:26:08,318 --> 00:26:12,043
Lexie has been hard at work
on her basement speakeasy.
516
00:26:12,068 --> 00:26:15,803
I think that, after it's hard,
a good to the dry cleans.
517
00:26:15,828 --> 00:26:19,003
The finish will actually take quite
nicely for painting.
518
00:26:19,028 --> 00:26:23,403
The floor is going to be stencilled
using the pattern from her tiles
519
00:26:23,428 --> 00:26:26,653
and her banquette seating is
literally coming together.
520
00:26:29,347 --> 00:26:33,213
What's really irritating
is that I've bought a bed
521
00:26:33,238 --> 00:26:35,572
that's really similar to this
522
00:26:35,597 --> 00:26:39,242
and now I can see how easy it is to
do, I wish I'd just done it myself,
523
00:26:39,267 --> 00:26:40,653
but hey-ho.
524
00:26:40,678 --> 00:26:44,213
For a first-time, beginner job...
525
00:26:44,238 --> 00:26:46,213
...it's not too bad.
526
00:26:46,238 --> 00:26:50,603
Back at the pond, we've been
introducing some local wildlife.
527
00:26:50,628 --> 00:26:53,442
Go right, go straight ahead to this
bit here.
528
00:26:53,467 --> 00:26:56,372
And now, Mother Nature
is taking over.
529
00:26:56,397 --> 00:26:59,403
It looks like it's been
in the walled garden for years.
530
00:26:59,428 --> 00:27:02,683
Right, what's he called?
Eunice. Eunice?
531
00:27:02,708 --> 00:27:03,933
Hold it tight.
532
00:27:03,958 --> 00:27:08,293
And joining our tadpoles today
are two colourful koi carp.
533
00:27:08,318 --> 00:27:10,572
Look at that! How beautiful!
534
00:27:10,597 --> 00:27:11,883
Pull the bottom corner.
535
00:27:11,908 --> 00:27:14,213
Nice and steady, nice and steady.
536
00:27:14,238 --> 00:27:17,213
Oh, he's away. Oh, look, they are -
they're hanging out together!
537
00:27:17,238 --> 00:27:20,372
A boy and a girl! They're a shoal.
Well done, babies.
538
00:27:25,758 --> 00:27:28,242
While the new residents
settle in,
539
00:27:28,267 --> 00:27:30,803
we're settling down
for another request.
540
00:27:33,068 --> 00:27:34,523
The thing I love about this is
541
00:27:34,548 --> 00:27:37,122
we have no idea what the challenge
is going to be.
542
00:27:37,147 --> 00:27:39,442
That's part of the excitement,
isn't it?
543
00:27:39,467 --> 00:27:41,963
Hi, Dick and Angel. My name's Izzy.
544
00:27:41,988 --> 00:27:46,293
I met my amazing fiance Ben in 2019
545
00:27:46,318 --> 00:27:48,572
and he proposed a year later.
546
00:27:48,597 --> 00:27:50,403
Look - I'm smiling from ear to ear.
547
00:27:50,428 --> 00:27:52,013
I'm like, "Oh, romance, weddings!"
548
00:27:52,038 --> 00:27:53,933
The project that I'm hoping
you'll be able
549
00:27:53,958 --> 00:27:57,122
to help me with
is my wedding bouquet.
550
00:27:57,147 --> 00:27:59,043
This is me. Shall I go and make
some more tea?
551
00:27:59,068 --> 00:28:00,523
THEY CHUCKLE
552
00:28:00,548 --> 00:28:05,372
The main issue I'm having is that
I have really bad hay fever,
553
00:28:05,397 --> 00:28:10,122
but I continually come back
to wanting that bouquet of flowers.
554
00:28:10,147 --> 00:28:14,523
I'm planning a Great Gatsby-inspired
wedding.
555
00:28:14,548 --> 00:28:18,933
My love for vintage definitely
came from my nan
556
00:28:18,958 --> 00:28:23,963
and listening to her stories
when she grew up in World War ll.
557
00:28:23,988 --> 00:28:26,242
Oh! Look at her nan.
558
00:28:26,267 --> 00:28:28,883
This was in my grandma's house
559
00:28:28,908 --> 00:28:31,452
and I just thought
it would be really lovely...
560
00:28:31,477 --> 00:28:32,603
I already have a vision.
561
00:28:32,628 --> 00:28:34,483
Wait, get to the end, get to
the end, get to the end.
562
00:28:34,508 --> 00:28:37,813
...to have something like this
in the bouquet.
563
00:28:37,838 --> 00:28:41,093
But because the wedding colours
are white, black and gold,
564
00:28:41,118 --> 00:28:43,483
this would be a really nice
connection.
565
00:28:43,508 --> 00:28:45,843
White, black and gold, yeah.
Great Gatsby.
566
00:28:45,868 --> 00:28:49,043
I really would love to still
have that beautiful effect
567
00:28:49,068 --> 00:28:52,843
of a bouquet, but maybe not so much
the side effects of the hay fever.
568
00:28:52,868 --> 00:28:54,173
You say artificial flowers
569
00:28:54,198 --> 00:28:56,843
and I think of those really horrible
little daffodils and tulips...
570
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:59,173
Completely. And I think
that is where
571
00:28:59,198 --> 00:29:01,483
the bad reputation has come from.
572
00:29:01,508 --> 00:29:04,494
But faux flowers today
are exceptional.
573
00:29:04,519 --> 00:29:06,805
I'm all over this one. I love it.
574
00:29:06,830 --> 00:29:11,121
So that'll be Dick does not do
lzzy's bouquet - underlined.
575
00:29:11,146 --> 00:29:13,812
And I've just writ it, "Ahhhh!"
576
00:29:17,947 --> 00:29:22,321
In our six years at the chateau,
we've hosted dozens of weddings
577
00:29:22,346 --> 00:29:25,882
and the flowers have always
been at the heart of the styling.
578
00:29:25,907 --> 00:29:29,241
So, I'm thrilled that lzzy's
request has brought me back
579
00:29:29,266 --> 00:29:30,532
to my happy place.
580
00:29:32,146 --> 00:29:34,121
When was the last time you seriously
talked bouquets
581
00:29:34,146 --> 00:29:35,562
with one of your brides-to-be?
582
00:29:35,587 --> 00:29:37,922
Nearly two years.
Oh, you poor poppet!
583
00:29:37,947 --> 00:29:40,241
Right, let me speak to Izzy.
584
00:29:40,266 --> 00:29:43,201
Izzy, hello!
Hello! Hi!
585
00:29:43,226 --> 00:29:45,201
OK, I know the style you want.
586
00:29:45,226 --> 00:29:48,812
We're talking Art Deco,
we're talking black, gold,
587
00:29:48,837 --> 00:29:51,292
but talk to me about your grandma.
588
00:29:51,317 --> 00:29:55,042
So, my nan sang me the wartime songs
589
00:29:55,067 --> 00:29:58,402
and showed me how to jitterbug
and jive.
590
00:29:58,427 --> 00:30:02,812
And then my grandma just had
all of these beautiful items.
591
00:30:02,837 --> 00:30:06,562
So, it was your grandma
that had the gold leaves?
592
00:30:06,587 --> 00:30:07,892
Yeah. Great.
593
00:30:07,917 --> 00:30:12,292
So, we sadly, we lost her a year
ago. Oh...
594
00:30:12,317 --> 00:30:14,251
It feels like, then,
it brings her in
595
00:30:14,276 --> 00:30:15,922
and it makes her part the wedding.
596
00:30:15,947 --> 00:30:19,042
Honestly, I have a little tear!
Oh, bless you!
597
00:30:19,067 --> 00:30:21,812
It's so sweet! I love it.
598
00:30:21,837 --> 00:30:25,201
I have got a couple
of different directions
599
00:30:25,226 --> 00:30:26,842
that I feel like we can go in.
600
00:30:26,867 --> 00:30:31,652
You've got sort of faux beautiful
bouquets that resemble wild flowers.
601
00:30:31,677 --> 00:30:37,251
Or we can just be really
representative of the '20s
602
00:30:37,276 --> 00:30:39,201
and we can go feathers.
603
00:30:39,226 --> 00:30:43,612
Wow. OK, you've got Grandma
in your bouquet.
604
00:30:43,637 --> 00:30:47,172
I've got a little idea
for bringing your nan in,
605
00:30:47,197 --> 00:30:48,892
and it was something that I did
606
00:30:48,917 --> 00:30:51,451
for one of the first weddings
that we had here.
607
00:30:51,476 --> 00:30:52,962
I made these for them.
608
00:30:52,987 --> 00:30:55,732
Oh, my goodness.
They're beautiful.
609
00:30:55,757 --> 00:31:01,371
Now, they are made from the song
that they fell in love to.
610
00:31:01,396 --> 00:31:02,842
I think that's really lovely.
611
00:31:02,867 --> 00:31:05,682
What I need from you is
you to have a think about the song
612
00:31:05,707 --> 00:31:10,562
and any other things that you can
send me that you like.
613
00:31:10,587 --> 00:31:12,922
Absolutely amazing.
I can't wait to get started.
614
00:31:12,947 --> 00:31:16,012
Me too, honestly. Take care.
Bye. Bye.
615
00:31:17,146 --> 00:31:18,922
How excited are you?
ANGEL LAUGHS
616
00:31:18,947 --> 00:31:20,762
That's ridiculous.
617
00:31:20,787 --> 00:31:22,172
Oh!
618
00:31:22,197 --> 00:31:25,682
Whilst Izzy channels
her inner Constance Spry,
619
00:31:25,707 --> 00:31:29,451
I'm going to show her how she can
create sneeze-free flowers
620
00:31:29,476 --> 00:31:32,482
from the simplest of materials -
papen
621
00:31:32,507 --> 00:31:36,842
Izzy and I talked about doing
origami flowers or roses
622
00:31:36,867 --> 00:31:38,812
and we talked about her nan.
623
00:31:38,837 --> 00:31:43,201
But, actually, since then, it's kind
of grown, like a rose does,
624
00:31:43,226 --> 00:31:46,482
because there's going to be a flower
for every member of the family
625
00:31:46,507 --> 00:31:48,972
that's not here,
which is quite sweet.
626
00:31:48,997 --> 00:31:51,282
Now, Izzy sent me over
a little song that reminds her
627
00:31:51,307 --> 00:31:53,172
of her nana, or her nana.
628
00:31:53,197 --> 00:31:55,482
It's We'll Meet Again. Hey!
629
00:31:55,507 --> 00:31:58,042
There's generations of us who know
Vera Lynn.
630
00:31:58,067 --> 00:31:59,722
We like a bit of Vera. Let's go.
631
00:31:59,747 --> 00:32:02,121
So, I just printed out a song sheet.
OK?
632
00:32:02,146 --> 00:32:03,762
But this is the most important
thing.
633
00:32:03,787 --> 00:32:05,642
It has to be double-sided,
you see,
634
00:32:05,667 --> 00:32:09,052
because when it goes onto here,
you do see the back and the front.
635
00:32:09,077 --> 00:32:12,001
And this is just
a little petal template.
636
00:32:12,026 --> 00:32:13,922
I'm just going to draw round it.
637
00:32:16,667 --> 00:32:19,451
I'm just going to cut this out.
638
00:32:19,476 --> 00:32:23,172
I'm going to put it on just
like a kebab stick!
639
00:32:23,197 --> 00:32:26,402
And I'm going to roll them
before I put them on.
640
00:32:26,427 --> 00:32:27,922
OK?
641
00:32:27,947 --> 00:32:31,612
This little bit here
is sort of the fiddliest
642
00:32:31,637 --> 00:32:33,121
and the most time-consuming.
643
00:32:33,146 --> 00:32:36,922
But I can imagine, if lzzy's there
with her mum and other...
644
00:32:36,947 --> 00:32:38,121
It's just nice,
645
00:32:38,146 --> 00:32:42,482
there's no stress or difficulty
either in this as well.
646
00:32:42,507 --> 00:32:44,812
Right, I pull this in now.
647
00:32:44,837 --> 00:32:47,812
I'm just literally going to put
a little bit around here.
648
00:32:47,837 --> 00:32:49,412
Yeah.
649
00:32:49,437 --> 00:32:50,842
All right. There we go.
650
00:32:50,867 --> 00:32:54,532
And then I'm going to just push
a paper onto the glue.
651
00:32:54,557 --> 00:32:56,362
Get my first one in.
652
00:32:56,387 --> 00:32:58,812
You actually only need to lift
that one petal up
653
00:32:58,837 --> 00:33:00,121
and glue it into place.
654
00:33:00,146 --> 00:33:03,282
And then all the others,
because they've already been folded,
655
00:33:03,307 --> 00:33:05,612
they sort of just go into place.
656
00:33:05,637 --> 00:33:10,001
Until I've got something that
I quite like the look of. Yeah.
657
00:33:10,026 --> 00:33:13,692
This is one layer of petals
and this is my bud.
658
00:33:13,717 --> 00:33:16,612
Now I'm going to put another one on.
659
00:33:16,637 --> 00:33:21,201
Everyone, like a flower, is
different, and that is the beauty.
660
00:33:21,226 --> 00:33:24,131
And these will essentially
last forever.
661
00:33:27,356 --> 00:33:29,842
Darling, it's actually
a very lovely.
662
00:33:37,867 --> 00:33:42,331
Our other Art Deco-inspired project
is Lexie's speakeasy cellar.
663
00:33:44,637 --> 00:33:48,251
And I want to show her how to make
stylish shelving -
664
00:33:48,276 --> 00:33:51,772
with the help of Mr Strawbridge.
665
00:33:51,797 --> 00:33:57,001
In its simplest form, that is
somewhere to put shelves. Mm-hm.
666
00:33:57,026 --> 00:34:00,331
And, in the simplest form,
that is a baton. Yep.
667
00:34:00,356 --> 00:34:03,081
But you don't want this, do you?
668
00:34:03,106 --> 00:34:06,802
I definitely want shelf support,
but not something that looks as ugly
669
00:34:06,827 --> 00:34:08,612
as a piece of wood. OK.
670
00:34:08,637 --> 00:34:11,642
If I said to you, instead of having
that there, what I'm going to do
671
00:34:11,667 --> 00:34:16,972
is I'm going to do
a little Art Deco-y type thing.
672
00:34:18,557 --> 00:34:21,201
I mean, I get the sense of it, yeah.
673
00:34:21,226 --> 00:34:24,081
It's a little bit stumpy,
but, yeah.
674
00:34:24,106 --> 00:34:26,642
The first one you do
is going to be a template,
675
00:34:26,667 --> 00:34:29,331
and if Lexie decides she wants
to do three shelves,
676
00:34:29,356 --> 00:34:30,812
she just makes six of these.
677
00:34:39,557 --> 00:34:46,081
That is the shape of what's going to
be put onto the wall. Great.
678
00:34:47,276 --> 00:34:49,972
You see this little thing here?
Yeah.
679
00:34:49,997 --> 00:34:52,331
That's just going to give you
that little bit of a...
680
00:34:52,356 --> 00:34:55,162
Just a little bit shadow, isn't it?
It's a shadow, that's all it is.
681
00:34:55,187 --> 00:34:56,722
What do you think? There you are.
682
00:34:56,747 --> 00:34:59,251
Yeah. It's basically deco-ing up
your batoning.
683
00:34:59,276 --> 00:35:00,852
"Deco-ing up your batoning".
684
00:35:00,877 --> 00:35:02,492
ANGEL LAUGHS
There you go.
685
00:35:02,517 --> 00:35:06,892
This is a great way to bring
a touch of style to any shelving.
686
00:35:06,917 --> 00:35:10,081
In fact, the only limit
is your imagination.
687
00:35:10,106 --> 00:35:15,211
And I'm looking forward to seeing
what Lexie creates later.
688
00:35:15,236 --> 00:35:18,572
But right now, excited bride-to-be
Izzy has sent me
689
00:35:18,597 --> 00:35:21,362
some style inspiration
for her faux bouquet.
690
00:35:23,356 --> 00:35:25,972
I've just been looking into
my homework
691
00:35:25,997 --> 00:35:28,492
and I thought you might like
to see
692
00:35:28,517 --> 00:35:32,572
the picture of my nan
on her wedding day.
693
00:35:32,597 --> 00:35:35,492
You might just be able to see
the flowers
694
00:35:35,517 --> 00:35:37,932
that are within the bouquet.
695
00:35:37,957 --> 00:35:41,282
The flowers are incredible.
696
00:35:41,307 --> 00:35:44,532
So, what I'm seeing is black
and gold
697
00:35:44,557 --> 00:35:47,052
and kind of like
dusky pinks and reds.
698
00:35:49,906 --> 00:35:52,852
Now I've got a better sense
of lzzy's style,
699
00:35:52,877 --> 00:35:54,802
I'm ready to get creative with
700
00:35:54,827 --> 00:35:57,131
some hay fever-friendly
dried foliage
701
00:35:57,156 --> 00:35:58,572
and some spray paint.
702
00:36:01,517 --> 00:36:02,802
Whoops.
703
00:36:04,236 --> 00:36:05,522
Don't tell Dick.
704
00:36:08,517 --> 00:36:10,052
Oh, yeah, it's coming up a treat.
705
00:36:12,590 --> 00:36:15,701
The pigment in that
is just stunning.
706
00:36:18,856 --> 00:36:21,631
SHE EXHALES HEAVILY
I'm totally impressed with that!
707
00:36:21,656 --> 00:36:24,551
That gold is exactly the gold that
reminds me of lzzy's grandma.
708
00:36:29,656 --> 00:36:33,341
Prep work done,
it's time to build a bouquet.
709
00:36:35,335 --> 00:36:39,190
Some of these are faux flowers,
sort of silk flowers,
710
00:36:39,215 --> 00:36:41,471
and some are not flowers at all.
711
00:36:41,496 --> 00:36:43,551
These are my feathers.
712
00:36:43,576 --> 00:36:46,831
Now, for me, I've got this spectrum
of a vision
713
00:36:46,856 --> 00:36:49,341
and from one end, it's like a
classic bouquet
714
00:36:49,366 --> 00:36:52,031
kind of made with colours
that Izzy likes,
715
00:36:52,056 --> 00:36:56,421
and on the other end, I've got
a really Art Deco,
716
00:36:56,446 --> 00:37:00,341
Great Gatsby-inspired, black,
gold, lots of feathers
717
00:37:00,366 --> 00:37:03,501
that doesn't really feel
like a classic bouquet.
718
00:37:05,366 --> 00:37:09,671
So, I think I'm going to start
by getting some of my eucalyptus.
719
00:37:10,806 --> 00:37:13,471
Just collecting
some of the black bits.
720
00:37:13,496 --> 00:37:17,310
I'm going to break it up with some
other black faux flowers.
721
00:37:17,335 --> 00:37:21,221
These are just little feathers
that I've attached with a wire,
722
00:37:21,246 --> 00:37:24,310
but I like it cos you can be
really pliable with this.
723
00:37:24,335 --> 00:37:26,671
I've got these,
which I completely love.
724
00:37:26,696 --> 00:37:29,141
They're going to give it
a different texture.
725
00:37:29,166 --> 00:37:31,990
For me, they really epitomise
that era.
726
00:37:32,015 --> 00:37:34,351
I'll get my flapper dress on.
727
00:37:34,376 --> 00:37:36,391
Oh, darling, I love you.
728
00:37:36,416 --> 00:37:39,351
Right, I love this. I've got the
black, the gold, the burgundy.
729
00:37:39,376 --> 00:37:41,141
Do you think that's nice, Dick?
730
00:37:41,166 --> 00:37:43,060
I think it's phenomenal.
731
00:37:43,085 --> 00:37:45,391
This is one direction,
732
00:37:45,416 --> 00:37:48,421
but Izzy might decide that she just
actually wants something
733
00:37:48,446 --> 00:37:51,110
that is really sort of just flowers.
734
00:37:51,135 --> 00:37:53,631
Maybe something like this.
You know?
735
00:37:53,656 --> 00:37:55,271
It is a process.
736
00:37:55,296 --> 00:37:58,271
I need to hear from Izzy kind of
where she's at.
737
00:37:58,296 --> 00:38:01,581
You can actually box it up
and send it to her.
738
00:38:01,606 --> 00:38:04,421
That is a great idea,
Mr Strawbridge!
739
00:38:16,926 --> 00:38:21,231
Izzy's parcel has arrived
and she hasn't opened it.
740
00:38:22,567 --> 00:38:27,021
I've sorely missed our chateau
weddings, so as a treat
741
00:38:27,046 --> 00:38:30,132
I sent bride-to-be Izzy
a box of delights,
742
00:38:30,157 --> 00:38:32,822
which I hope will inspire ideas
743
00:38:32,847 --> 00:38:35,822
for an allergy-free bridal bouquet.
744
00:38:35,847 --> 00:38:36,872
Grab a hanky now.
745
00:38:40,687 --> 00:38:42,592
Hi!
746
00:38:42,617 --> 00:38:44,312
Izzy, go for it, darlin'.
747
00:38:44,337 --> 00:38:45,412
OK, here we go.
748
00:38:47,767 --> 00:38:48,851
Oh, my goodness.
749
00:38:51,207 --> 00:38:53,771
Oh, wow. This is just amazing.
750
00:38:53,796 --> 00:38:55,342
I think you've just got
to get in there
751
00:38:55,367 --> 00:38:56,851
and sort of start taking bits out.
752
00:38:56,876 --> 00:38:59,742
Oh, it's not black foliage. Yes.
753
00:38:59,767 --> 00:39:01,592
It's got to be the base,
definitely. Yes.
754
00:39:01,617 --> 00:39:04,981
Do you know, just even you
just holding that there
755
00:39:05,006 --> 00:39:07,262
just feels completely right.
756
00:39:07,287 --> 00:39:08,981
Oh, wow.
757
00:39:09,006 --> 00:39:11,462
The design... I've lost Izzy.
758
00:39:11,487 --> 00:39:13,920
She's organising all the foliage.
759
00:39:13,945 --> 00:39:15,901
I'm sorry.
760
00:39:15,926 --> 00:39:18,742
I love it. I absolutely love it.
It's so funny.
761
00:39:18,767 --> 00:39:21,622
If you do spray anything,
you need to make sure your foliage
762
00:39:21,647 --> 00:39:23,542
is dry when you spray it
763
00:39:23,567 --> 00:39:27,492
and if you do more black try and use
a matte black, I would say.
764
00:39:27,517 --> 00:39:31,231
Good luck. I'm here -
honestly, got any questions
765
00:39:31,256 --> 00:39:34,132
then just sort of, like, ping them
over to me. Amazing.
766
00:39:34,157 --> 00:39:36,672
Thank you so much, Angel.
Have fun. Bye.
767
00:39:36,697 --> 00:39:38,492
She's going to have fun, isn't she?
768
00:39:38,517 --> 00:39:41,031
She's going to have fun.
These are laughter tears.
769
00:39:43,647 --> 00:39:48,031
A few months ago, I was looking
for a natural solution to deter
770
00:39:48,056 --> 00:39:50,312
veg-munching pests
in our walled garden...
771
00:39:52,056 --> 00:39:56,462
...so I decided to build a wildlife
pond to attract frogs, toads
772
00:39:56,487 --> 00:39:59,422
and other helpful little beasties
to protect my patch.
773
00:39:59,447 --> 00:40:01,031
Excellent. Leave it there.
774
00:40:01,056 --> 00:40:03,901
We collected plants
and organisms from the surrounding
775
00:40:03,926 --> 00:40:06,422
marshes to populate the pond.
776
00:40:08,126 --> 00:40:11,101
And, after lots of hard graft
with my top team,
777
00:40:11,126 --> 00:40:13,622
the pond has finally
come to fruition.
778
00:40:14,847 --> 00:40:16,592
There's going to be a score to see
779
00:40:16,617 --> 00:40:20,101
who can see the most wildlife-y
things here. Oh, Dorothy's started.
780
00:40:21,256 --> 00:40:24,392
Not only is it a great way
to attract natural predators
781
00:40:24,417 --> 00:40:26,702
to keep the slugs off my cabbages,
782
00:40:26,727 --> 00:40:31,101
it also teaches the children about
the magic of Mother Nature.
783
00:40:31,126 --> 00:40:33,392
Now, Arthur, this is for you.
784
00:40:33,417 --> 00:40:35,212
Dorothy, this is for you.
785
00:40:35,237 --> 00:40:37,190
So, you can look under the water
786
00:40:37,215 --> 00:40:39,881
and tell me if you can see any legs.
But how...?
787
00:40:39,906 --> 00:40:42,242
You dip that end in.
You dip that end in and you look.
788
00:40:44,547 --> 00:40:45,732
Can you see any tadpoles?
789
00:40:50,067 --> 00:40:51,552
It looks glorious.
790
00:40:51,577 --> 00:40:53,011
Yeah, it doesn't look too bad. No.
791
00:40:53,036 --> 00:40:55,372
It looks like it's been here a while
as well, doesn't it?
792
00:40:55,397 --> 00:40:57,402
It does, and the fact that
these rocks are the walls
793
00:40:57,427 --> 00:41:01,292
and your old shoes...
Remember it started by a big hole?
794
00:41:01,317 --> 00:41:04,292
It was exactly - it started
with a big hole,
795
00:41:04,317 --> 00:41:07,042
and, you know, the only thing
that daddy has bought
796
00:41:07,067 --> 00:41:08,402
has been... Pond liner.
797
00:41:08,427 --> 00:41:09,881
...the pond liner.
798
00:41:10,986 --> 00:41:13,552
Oh, look there. What's that?
Come over here.
799
00:41:13,577 --> 00:41:15,452
Look on that leaf. Look at that
leaf over there.
800
00:41:15,477 --> 00:41:17,162
What is it? A dragonfly.
801
00:41:17,187 --> 00:41:19,202
We've got a dragonfly
in the pond. Yay!
802
00:41:19,227 --> 00:41:21,042
That's the first dragonfly
we've seen.
803
00:41:21,067 --> 00:41:23,452
This is just going to go
from strength to strength. This...
804
00:41:23,477 --> 00:41:25,122
Do you know how much work
we have to do now?
805
00:41:25,147 --> 00:41:26,522
What? None. Nothing.
806
00:41:26,547 --> 00:41:27,652
Nothing at all.
807
00:41:27,677 --> 00:41:29,042
We just let nature do it.
808
00:41:29,067 --> 00:41:30,812
Well done, baby. Well done, kids.
809
00:41:36,507 --> 00:41:39,522
Someone trying to avoid getting
too close to nature
810
00:41:39,547 --> 00:41:42,162
is hayfever-sufferer Izzy,
811
00:41:42,187 --> 00:41:47,122
who asked me for help creating
a sneeze-free bridal bouquet.
812
00:41:47,147 --> 00:41:51,522
So, today I am spraying
some of the faux foliage
813
00:41:51,547 --> 00:41:54,091
and some foliage I've got
from the garden,
814
00:41:54,116 --> 00:41:56,522
just like Angel showed me how to do.
815
00:41:56,547 --> 00:41:59,482
And with the wedding just a few
months away, I've come
816
00:41:59,507 --> 00:42:03,322
to the orangery - where so many
chateaux brides have celebrated
817
00:42:03,347 --> 00:42:05,841
their big day - to see
how she's got on.
818
00:42:05,866 --> 00:42:09,322
Well, this is quite exciting.
It's the closest to a wedding
819
00:42:09,347 --> 00:42:11,652
you've got at the orangery
this year.
820
00:42:11,677 --> 00:42:13,562
It is. That's why it's felt good,
821
00:42:13,587 --> 00:42:17,532
but also Izzy and her desire
to make sure that her bouquet
822
00:42:17,557 --> 00:42:20,402
is quite meaningful
is very, very special,
823
00:42:20,427 --> 00:42:23,841
and - I don't know - it's something
that I really related to. I love it.
824
00:42:23,866 --> 00:42:27,372
I've got here
the foliage that I sprayed
825
00:42:27,397 --> 00:42:30,202
and it's a really lovely
bronzy gold,
826
00:42:30,227 --> 00:42:33,812
which I think works really well
with the black.
827
00:42:33,837 --> 00:42:39,812
And my favourite part is these were
from the Chateau gardens, I believe,
828
00:42:39,837 --> 00:42:41,122
so it's quite nice to have
829
00:42:41,147 --> 00:42:43,532
a little bit of the chateau there
at the wedding.
830
00:42:43,557 --> 00:42:45,042
0h!
831
00:42:45,067 --> 00:42:48,682
Honestly, it is looking fantastic.
832
00:42:51,507 --> 00:42:52,812
Aw, this is adorable.
833
00:42:52,837 --> 00:42:54,602
She's there with her mum.
834
00:42:54,627 --> 00:42:59,452
They've got tea, they're in
the garden and they're making roses
835
00:42:59,477 --> 00:43:02,172
that mean something
for the family and...
836
00:43:03,197 --> 00:43:06,841
I personally like the aged look...
837
00:43:06,866 --> 00:43:07,841
THEY CHEER
838
00:43:08,866 --> 00:43:10,641
That's my one.
839
00:43:10,666 --> 00:43:11,682
Well done, Ben.
840
00:43:11,707 --> 00:43:12,961
He chose lzzy's.
841
00:43:14,147 --> 00:43:17,172
I just love that this is going to be
the bouquet
842
00:43:17,197 --> 00:43:20,122
that I'm going to be holding
in those photos.
843
00:43:20,147 --> 00:43:21,922
I can't wait for Ben to see it.
844
00:43:21,947 --> 00:43:26,322
I genuinely wouldn't have got the
most beautiful bouquet I could ever
845
00:43:26,347 --> 00:43:30,641
have hoped for on my wedding day
without you, so thank you so much.
846
00:43:31,916 --> 00:43:33,761
You do need a hanky.
I knew you would.
847
00:43:36,587 --> 00:43:39,761
I knew you would. You said,
"l won't... I don't need a hanky.
848
00:43:39,786 --> 00:43:42,452
"L'm not... I won't need
a handkerchief," you said.
849
00:43:44,027 --> 00:43:45,002
Oh...
850
00:43:46,947 --> 00:43:48,252
It's just...
851
00:43:48,277 --> 00:43:51,172
I can really, really feel
that she really... She's so happy.
852
00:43:51,197 --> 00:43:53,641
She loves it and that's
why we do weddings.
853
00:43:53,666 --> 00:43:55,091
That's why I love them so much.
854
00:44:01,277 --> 00:44:05,841
A few weeks ago, Lexie asked us
to help transform her dark and dingy
855
00:44:05,866 --> 00:44:08,891
cellar into a decadent speakeasy.
856
00:44:10,116 --> 00:44:12,122
And we've been with her and she's
857
00:44:12,147 --> 00:44:14,922
put her heart and soul
into the project, learning
858
00:44:14,947 --> 00:44:18,122
lots of new skills along the way.
859
00:44:18,147 --> 00:44:20,562
It's not perfect.
That's my first attempt,
860
00:44:20,587 --> 00:44:23,812
but I think they will look really
impressive when they're up.
861
00:44:26,587 --> 00:44:30,172
I can't wait to see what Lexie's
been up to because this particular
862
00:44:30,197 --> 00:44:32,812
project is very close to my heart
863
00:44:32,837 --> 00:44:35,682
and there was just so much work
to do.
864
00:44:52,916 --> 00:44:56,732
I can't believe that the project's
coming to an end, really.
865
00:44:56,757 --> 00:44:59,282
There's still bits and pieces
that I think I'll add to it,
866
00:44:59,307 --> 00:45:03,122
but, overall, I've achieved so much
in such a short space of time.
867
00:45:04,717 --> 00:45:08,052
And to see what little money
you need to transform a space...
868
00:45:08,077 --> 00:45:10,402
It hasn't been
a really extravagant project,
869
00:45:10,427 --> 00:45:13,172
but I think it's got
quite an extravagant feel to it.
870
00:45:13,197 --> 00:45:14,692
Is it a comfy speakeasy?
871
00:45:14,717 --> 00:45:16,402
Oh, yes.
872
00:45:16,427 --> 00:45:17,452
The bar!
873
00:45:19,557 --> 00:45:20,922
Oh, fantastic.
874
00:45:20,947 --> 00:45:24,761
I mean, for me, it's even
better than I'd imagined.
875
00:45:24,786 --> 00:45:26,202
Oh yeah, great.
876
00:45:28,866 --> 00:45:31,252
The floor is fantastic.
877
00:45:31,277 --> 00:45:33,562
I mean, she completely nailed it.
878
00:45:33,587 --> 00:45:36,412
I think, more than anything,
it's just been nice to spend some
879
00:45:36,437 --> 00:45:37,841
quality time together.
880
00:45:37,866 --> 00:45:39,891
Aw. You've got to count on your dad.
881
00:45:39,916 --> 00:45:44,891
Lexie has achieved so much
and that deserves a toast.
882
00:45:44,916 --> 00:45:48,202
To all the hard work.
No, well, thank you.
883
00:45:48,227 --> 00:45:50,761
What are you making me? A gimlet.
884
00:45:50,786 --> 00:45:54,761
We don't have a cellar speakeasy,
but I've recreated one
885
00:45:54,786 --> 00:45:55,891
in the boudoir,
886
00:45:55,916 --> 00:45:59,891
and, along with our gin and lime
cocktail, it's perfect for a night
887
00:45:59,916 --> 00:46:02,202
of Art Deco decadence.
888
00:46:02,227 --> 00:46:05,412
That speakeasy is going to bring
so much joy to them.
889
00:46:05,437 --> 00:46:09,771
It already has.
To Lexie's speakeasy. To Lexie.
890
00:46:09,796 --> 00:46:11,122
Give me some moonshine.
891
00:46:11,147 --> 00:46:13,412
Oh, look at you.
892
00:46:13,437 --> 00:46:14,891
It's a speakeasy joke.
893
00:46:16,197 --> 00:46:18,562
Next time... Have a little look
where I am.
894
00:46:19,947 --> 00:46:22,562
...we bring sunshine
to a summerhouse...
895
00:46:22,587 --> 00:46:25,282
I have birds everywhere. Yes!
896
00:46:25,307 --> 00:46:27,362
...stir things up...
897
00:46:27,387 --> 00:46:29,052
It needs a fair bit
of mixing, actually.
898
00:46:29,077 --> 00:46:30,692
That's why we've
got a machine to do it.
899
00:46:30,717 --> 00:46:32,202
...and discover
900
00:46:32,227 --> 00:46:34,442
silence really is golden.
901
00:46:36,467 --> 00:46:39,442
