00:01Welcome to Chateau DIY Win The Dream.
00:04The ultimate renovation showdown.
00:06Whose idea was this?
00:08Come on, mine.
00:09Take it here, Marie.
00:11Over four thrilling weeks, creativity meets competition.
00:14Looks wicked, doesn't it?
00:16Perfect fit, oh my gosh.
00:18As determined duos battle it out to prove.
00:21I'm having an absolute nightmare.
00:23They've got the vision, skill and grit to win the ultimate prize.
00:26I haven't got a clue.
00:28I can cry, I can literally cry.
00:30The keys to this breathtaking French property.
00:34Set on the outskirts of a Normandy nature park,
00:38the property boasts six bedrooms, four bathrooms,
00:42two salons, five additional rooms to renovate,
00:46perfectly pruned gardens, stunning outbuildings,
00:49its very own orchard and even a historic bread oven.
00:53It's a lot to play for and if we lose, I'll be fuming.
00:57Three heats and a grand finale where only the best will rise.
01:03All the pairs have to do is show they have the renovation know-how
01:07to impress me and various guest judges from Chateau DIY.
01:10I think this is really creative.
01:13What a transformation.
01:15In weekly challenges designed to push their creativity and skills to the limit.
01:19The clock is ticking.
01:21Win the week and they secure their spot in the grand finale.
01:25The dream is real, the stakes are high.
01:27This is Chateau DIY Win The Dream.
01:31Oh my God.
01:43It's literally what I always imagined. That's amazing.
01:46That's beautiful.
01:47We've been kind of waiting for something like this for a long time, haven't we?
01:50I think as dancers there's always that little bit of competition in us.
01:54We're in it to win it.
01:55Oh my God.
01:56Wow.
01:57This is gorgeous.
01:58It's absolutely incredible.
01:59It's stunning.
02:00It's unbelievable.
02:01But then I've got this like burning feeling in the pit of my stomach that like,
02:04it's real now.
02:07You've got to be kidding me.
02:08Oh my God.
02:09It's beautiful, isn't it?
02:10Danielle is very competitive.
02:12Even sleep, she's got to check that she's had more sleep than me.
02:15I'm getting emotional.
02:16We're feeling nervous, excited, intrepidation.
02:20Yeah.
02:21That we're finally here and this is really happening.
02:24And I love all the stonework.
02:25All the shutters there are so French.
02:27Yeah.
02:28We're so excited to start the challenge.
02:30I really like that balcony.
02:32Could you imagine sitting breakfast in bed with the windows open?
02:35I think it's nervous excitement.
02:37It's like really excited to get going and nervous because you know how many things could go wrong as well.
02:46Hello and welcome to Win The Dream, where you'll be competing to win this beautiful building behind me.
02:55But it's not going to be easy.
02:57You'll need to prove to me and various guest judges from Chateau DIY that you've got the skill and the ability to manage and maintain a historic building.
03:07So, are you ready for your first challenge?
03:10Yes.
03:11Sure?
03:12Yes.
03:13That's better.
03:14For this first challenge, you'll be renovating the upstairs spaces into attic snugs.
03:21Ooh.
03:22I like that.
03:23OK.
03:24To make things interesting, you'll be doing this in two teams of four.
03:29Ooh.
03:30OK.
03:31We've randomly selected your pairs already.
03:34So, Josh and Josh, you'll be working with Sherilyn and Daniel.
03:39Let's go.
03:40Joshua and Georgia, you'll be working with Martin and Danielle.
03:44Yay!
03:45Yes.
03:46Each team will have a stripped back room to renovate.
03:49I'd like you to create a relaxing retreat for guests at this property, where they can rest after a hard day's broconte shopping.
03:57Your attic snug must contain a custom-built coffee table made from recycled furniture.
04:04OK.
04:05Ooh.
04:06That's good.
04:07That's good.
04:08That's good.
04:09We'll be looking for concept, creativity, practicality, and techniques, and the overall look and finish.
04:15You'll need to think about your own skill set and utilise that to show us your creativity coming through.
04:21Whilst you'll be working in teams, you'll be judged in your individual pairs.
04:25Ooh.
04:26That's good.
04:27That's nice.
04:28Your budget for this challenge is €1,000 per team.
04:31And remember, one pair will be going home after this challenge.
04:36Are you ready to get started?
04:39Yes.
04:40Excited?
04:41Yes.
04:42Your time starts now.
04:44Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.
04:48Ooh.
04:49Ooh.
04:51The nicest it's out of the way, it's time for the pairs to get a first look at the two adjoining attic spaces.
04:58Wow.
04:59Wow.
05:00All right.
05:01Oh, my gosh.
05:02It's actually bigger than I thought it was going to be up here.
05:04I don't know why.
05:05I love all of that.
05:06Yeah.
05:07Look at this.
05:08Beautiful.
05:09Oh, my gosh.
05:10Oh, my gosh.
05:11It's not what I was expecting.
05:12It looks quite medieval, doesn't it?
05:13Wow.
05:14That is a chimney as well.
05:16It's a big space, isn't it?
05:18Yeah.
05:19Beautiful.
05:20That's really cool.
05:21Oh, my gosh.
05:22You've got a cool area here.
05:23That is really cute.
05:24I suppose we've just got to Techstock, take as much in as we can.
05:27Sit and make a plan, really.
05:29Yeah.
05:30Bringing a wealth of renovation experience to this challenge are the Pinks.
05:35Marketing with Sherilyn.
05:36In terms of, like, creativity and ideas and stuff, I feel like that's probably where my strengths lie.
05:41Yeah.
05:42The graphic designer boyfriend, Daniel.
05:43Because Daniel's going to be quite hands-on.
05:45The couple have renovated five houses and would love to have their own chateau to run a bed
05:51and breakfast business.
05:52Being able to live abroad is a huge goal of ours.
05:55Being able to host people in such an incredible space, make a business out of the place that
05:59we live, and living in a chateau and living in France would give us the opportunity to do
06:03both of those things.
06:04And they'll be tackling the attic space with the blue team. Professional dancing duo Josh.
06:09Give me a paintbrush and I'll get this room whipped up real good time.
06:13And Josh.
06:14We love doing anything to do with DIY and interior.
06:18So Josh has met at dance school and have been engaged for four years.
06:22I think if we won the chateau, the first thing that we would do in it is get married here.
06:28And then we've always imagined creating, like, a wellbeing retreat.
06:31So it would be absolutely life-changing. It would be amazing to win this chateau.
06:35I mean, this is literally what I've always dreamt of, by the way.
06:37And they already have a very clear idea for the room's colour scheme.
06:41Bold, colourful, but, like, dark, deep colours would be our natural preference.
06:46And we love texture, we love, yeah, materials.
06:49I'm thinking that we could do some kind of panel in here.
06:53And then we could probably use a bit of gold or a bit of a colourpop.
06:56But a nice, moody colour is the base.
06:58Yeah.
06:59We don't want it to feel like a lounge in your home.
07:01No.
07:02So, like, we'd want it to feel a bit luxurious.
07:04Erm, like, we love the idea of, like, secret doors.
07:07Yeah.
07:08We could even create something there, maybe.
07:10Obviously, you've got, like, the front of wardrobes, things like that idea.
07:13So you go into Narnia.
07:14So one thing that we haven't talked about is the fact that we have to find a coffee table,
07:19or make a coffee table, should I say, made of different furniture that we can find.
07:23Obviously, we can see that even the size of the space, it needs to be not a little coffee table, it needs to be quite substantial.
07:28And I guess because that is part of the challenge, we wouldn't want it to be just a little thing in the corner.
07:32We want to make a bit of a thing of it.
07:33Drama.
07:34Yeah.
07:35We're going for that cosy retreat that is stylish, elegant.
07:38It's the place that you really want to come back to at the end of a day exploring rural France.
07:42Alright then, so shall we get started?
07:44Let's go!
07:45Let's go!
07:46I love Josh & Josh.
07:47They bring so much vibrance and energy.
07:49I feel like their ideas and creativity is really going to complement our ideas and creativity, so I'm excited to work with them.
07:54It's not just this incredible chateau the teams have the chance to win.
07:58The prize also comes with an acre of land and an array of outbuildings,
08:03one of which has been converted into a workshop,
08:06kitted out with everything our aspiring chateau owners need to realise their renovation designs.
08:12I wonder if there's an electric measuring tool?
08:14Checking out what's on offer on the Orange team are Georgia and Joshua.
08:18Loads of clamps.
08:20Teen sweethearts, they are both bringing skills from their day jobs.
08:24I'm a consultant quantity surveyor, so I focus on heritage buildings,
08:28so stuff like this is exactly what I'm seeing day in, day out.
08:32I'll take the notebook.
08:33I work in buying and product development, so working with budgets and sourcing is what I do all the time.
08:38Their dream is to own a venue to host events and retreats.
08:41Potentially having a home out in France.
08:43Yeah, I mean...
08:44A potential business.
08:45It would just be amazing and terrifying at the same time.
08:49And ready to take on this challenge with them are the Greens.
08:52Financial advisor Danielle.
08:54Oh, nail good.
08:55Or is it a stapler?
08:56And telecommunications manager Martin.
08:59This has been the plan for years that we're going to end up in France.
09:02Yeah.
09:03In a house that we can have this kind of lifestyle.
09:07Yeah.
09:08And, yeah, 100%.
09:10And they should just fast forward our dreams.
09:12Yeah.
09:13It's exciting, isn't it?
09:14They're also a pair bringing renovation experience to the challenge.
09:18We've worked on your house.
09:20There's a 300-year-old cottage.
09:22And then we worked on my house.
09:24It's a couple of hundred years old.
09:25And they're starting their design off by looking at the functionality of their attic space.
09:30What do we think of the chimney stack?
09:32That's got to go, hasn't it?
09:33Yeah.
09:34We've got to hide it somehow.
09:35We could almost have, like, a bar there.
09:37Ooh.
09:38To have a little tipple in the snug.
09:39Yeah.
09:40Shoes off.
09:41I've just thought of something else.
09:42Go on.
09:43A screen for a cinema room.
09:44Yeah.
09:45Projector.
09:46If we get a big white roller blind that we can attach to a beam.
09:48It sits behind a beam so that you don't see it.
09:50Yeah.
09:51Because the beams are sloping down.
09:52We can have it behind.
09:53Yeah.
09:54Yeah, yeah.
09:55I think the projection screen idea is brilliant for our family movie night.
09:57So then we've got to think of the seating and then we need to plan it so that functionally
10:01you can watch the movie.
10:02Do we do some sort of built-in seating?
10:04Like, you do need...
10:05Potentially.
10:06Yeah.
10:07I think I'm seeing you have the cinema screen on this side.
10:09And then on this side you'd have the built-in seating.
10:12Well, like you said there, if we get some kind of built-in seating on this side, we could
10:15have a vignette here.
10:16What's that?
10:17Two-person seating area, really.
10:18Yeah.
10:19We have that in our house.
10:20I didn't know they were called that.
10:21It's a Doncaster word.
10:22Holy goodness.
10:23No, but it's very French to have a vignette.
10:25So there's no reason the coffee table has to be...
10:27Yeah.
10:28..centre of attention, is there?
10:29And then we've got our bar here.
10:30Yeah.
10:31On the left as you walk in.
10:32So we want it to be like a multifunctional zone.
10:35We're planning to build in single mattresses for seating.
10:37Like, big cosy seating.
10:39And then on the other side of the room, we're going to build a bar area there.
10:42And then you have the pull-down cinema screen underneath the beam.
10:45Yeah.
10:46So it's sort of like a really bougie, cinemary...
10:48Like a meal free.
10:49Chill.
10:50There's layers and layers of function.
10:51All the words.
10:52Look at you with all your friends.
10:53All the words.
10:54The teams have decided to split up.
10:57Right.
10:58Catch you in a bit.
10:59See you in a bit.
11:00With Josh and Sherilyn, and Danielle and Georgia,
11:03heading off to bag a bargain at the local brocante.
11:06Leaving the others to get to work on the spaces.
11:09Both teams have decided to cover up the breeze blocks in their rooms.
11:13Easy work.
11:15Quick off the mark on the orange and green team are Joshua and Martin,
11:19who are battening the walls for their wood panelling.
11:22We're going to have a couple of these on,
11:24and then these cross ones to nail the lats too.
11:28We're going to have to move this behind,
11:30and this is all going to be hidden behind the boards.
11:35So, first job, move this down.
11:40These are coming out very easy, which is great.
11:43Oh, this is going to work great.
11:45While Josh H and Daniel on the blue and pink team
11:48are also going to be panelling over the bricks with MDF.
11:51Vroom!
11:52It's looking so much better.
11:53As soon as you cover them bricks up with this wood,
11:55it starts to feel more like a room.
11:57Just centralising the beading across the panels as best as possible.
12:00So, roughly 20.
12:02Yeah. You've turned 20 and a half.
12:03Ooh!
12:04What?
12:06There we go.
12:07Teamwork.
12:0820.
12:0920.
12:10As soon as the other two come back,
12:11I know that they're the same as me,
12:12they'll start to really feel like we're making good progress.
12:14And, hopefully, it's all going to come together.
12:22Four pairs are battling it out to win a once-in-a-lifetime prize,
12:26this phenomenal property in France.
12:29For their first challenge,
12:31transforming the chateau's attic spaces
12:33into cosy and comfy snugs.
12:35Go for that.
12:37Lovely.
12:38The pairs are in two teams.
12:39They have six days, along with a thousand euros,
12:42to complete their designs.
12:44Plenty of progress is being made.
12:46Pink and blue team's panelling is going on the walls.
12:48With the right tools, it's really quick.
12:50I feel like, at home, I'd be having, like,
12:52a little staple gun and, like, nailing it in.
12:54With this, it's a quicker job.
12:57Boom!
12:58While over in the next room,
12:59the framework for Orange and Green's rustic bar
13:01is being measured and fitted into place.
13:05Perfect.
13:07Look at that.
13:08These will go...
13:10There and there?
13:11Yeah.
13:12..and Martin has spotted some material by the workshop
13:16that they could incorporate into the bar.
13:19Corrugated iron for bending round at the front of the bar.
13:24We went for the rustiest.
13:26Oldest-looking, we'll brush that off,
13:28but we want the patina.
13:31Everything else, I think it'll add to it,
13:32like, almost saloon bar sort of look.
13:36There's nothing sharp sticking off them.
13:38All the nail holes, where they've pulled them off,
13:41go inwards, so...
13:43I just think it'll be an absolutely incredible look.
13:46Absolutely perfect.
13:47While they prick on...
13:50..the others have arrived at the Bracant.
13:53Bonjour!
13:54Wow, oh, my gosh.
13:55I don't know why they've trusted us to come here.
13:57No, no, we're going to be great.
13:58Yeah.
13:59We're good, we're good.
14:00First up is the other half of Blue and Pink's team...
14:04Bonjour!
14:05..Josh W and Sherilyn.
14:06We do have a limited budget, but...
14:08I think we're going to be great at keeping an eye on it.
14:10We'd love to be able to just splash the cash
14:12and, like, absolutely buy all the, like,
14:14huge, amazing bits of furniture,
14:16but this is giving all the wood.
14:19On the pair's shopping list is a vintage rug
14:21and a wardrobe for their secret Narnia door design.
14:25I think we're going to...
14:26We need to rein it in. Absolutely, yeah.
14:27Try not to get carried away.
14:28But I think, as well, like,
14:29if we find something that's perfect,
14:31like, I'm going to want to spend more on it
14:33because I know that it's a main piece.
14:35Just look at the size of those tassels.
14:37Statement pieces.
14:38Like, we want people to walk into that room
14:40and be like, wow.
14:42Along with anything else
14:43that will help to complete the room.
14:45Glasses for the bow.
14:46Some sherry or something.
14:48Cheers! Cheers!
14:50Really liking these.
14:51Oh, oh, my gosh.
14:52And, like, that is literally...
14:54Isn't that... This is perfect.
14:56This is perfect.
14:57This is the perfect colours.
14:58Yeah.
14:59This is the style that we're looking for.
15:00It's pretty big.
15:01It's just...
15:03I just need to see how many roses.
15:05It does look quite big.
15:07I think that that perfectly fits what we're trying to find.
15:10I think it's big enough where we can at least use it
15:11in a part of the...
15:12I agree.
15:13And the price is 125.
15:14125.
15:15OK.
15:16I wonder if we can negotiate on that.
15:17Rugs are quite expensive.
15:18If we can get both of them for 120, we're in.
15:22Great.
15:23Now they need to find a wardrobe.
15:26Oh!
15:27And they might be in luck.
15:28250.
15:29Oh!
15:30No, but, like, imagine walking into that.
15:32That is gorgeous.
15:33I love that.
15:35Josh has had another bright idea
15:37to repurpose more of the wardrobe.
15:39The idea is to use this, the front of this,
15:43for the door and the back of the wardrobe.
15:47We're thinking of turning it into the coffee table.
15:50I will be really honest, it's making my heart sink
15:53because it's a quarter of the budget.
15:54I know, that is expensive.
15:55On one thing.
15:56Yeah.
15:57But I suppose we'd be using it for two things.
15:59Yeah.
16:00So, how did the team do with their budget
16:02on their first shopping trip?
16:0370.
16:05200.
16:06Amazing.
16:07So we can have it for 210.
16:08That's amazing.
16:09That is a 40 euro saving.
16:1040.
16:11The only thing I can do is 10%.
16:12Oui, oui, oui.
16:13Merci beaucoup.
16:14Merci beaucoup.
16:15Merci beaucoup.
16:16We've used 302 euros 50.
16:18It's a lot of the budget.
16:20Yeah?
16:21Is it?
16:22I'm excited.
16:23We're happy.
16:25We're feeling great about our purchases.
16:27Amazing.
16:28I'm really excited.
16:29I think there's still a lot of work to be done
16:31because we still need to figure out where the rug's going to go,
16:33position things, and we have to make the Narnia door
16:35and also the coffee table, but we've got the bones
16:37of actually being able to start it now,
16:39which is a massive weight off our shoulders.
16:40We're feeling great.
16:41Positive.
16:42I'm feeling good.
16:43Doing a great job.
16:44Well done.
16:45Over on the orange and green team...
16:47Like that blue.
16:49The burgundy and the gold.
16:51Danielle and Georgia are also splashing the cash.
16:54We can make that really lovely.
16:55And you just use the hues, can't we?
16:57Yeah, definitely.
16:58Let's take a photo and then we can...
16:59Yeah, yeah, of the colours and stuff.
17:01They've also bagged a huge vintage rug for 70 euros.
17:05Strong girls.
17:06We want to take it today.
17:07What's up?
17:09Merci.
17:10And they've raided the local charity shop.
17:13So, un, deux, trois.
17:16Un, deux, trois.
17:17For accessories to fill the snug,
17:19and they've spotted some seating for their vignette area.
17:22Imagine those two chairs in the corner.
17:26That's got the cream of the rug.
17:28They're not pleasant in terms of those colours.
17:30Do you know what, though?
17:31We could potentially paint the fabric.
17:33That's what I'm thinking.
17:34If we could, if we could get two matching singles.
17:37The same ones.
17:38I don't know how these are going to look.
17:40They'll fit the space better than the sofa, won't they?
17:42Yeah.
17:43The mattresses will be repurposed for their built-in seating area.
17:47My nails can't take it.
17:48I should have had them shorter.
17:51So, pop them on there.
17:53Do you want to pick out some feet?
17:54That's that.
17:55Yeah.
17:56They're colour wood, aren't they?
17:57But, how have this team fared on their 1,000 euro budget?
18:01Okay.
18:02That's 150 euros.
18:03That's more than we thought it was going to be, didn't we?
18:05I don't think 150 is bad, though, considering what we've got.
18:07Well, there's 18, including the chairs.
18:08It's basically 20 euros relies in the legs.
18:10Is it?
18:11What about if we did that?
18:12Yeah.
18:13Could we do 125?
18:17130.
18:18130.
18:19Amazing.
18:21Thank you very much.
18:23We very, very much appreciate it.
18:24Oh, that's a bargain.
18:25Just as the pair are about to leave, Danielle spots one last item on their shopping list.
18:33Oh, there.
18:34Is that a projector?
18:35It looks like that's what we use at work.
18:37It's got all the bits with it as well.
18:39Shall we see how much they'll let us have it for?
18:41Right, let's do this.
18:42Excuse-moi, mademoiselle.
18:44This and this, c'est combien, s'il vous plaît?
18:4910, 0.
18:5010.
18:5110.
18:5210.
18:5310.
18:54And with this?
18:5510 for this.
18:56Oh, 10.
18:57Oh, amazing.
18:58That is fantastic.
19:00So, 10 euros, projector and blind.
19:03Cinema sorted.
19:06Merci.
19:07Merci.
19:10Danielle and Georgia have spent 240 euros, just under a quarter of their budget.
19:16We've had a very successful shopping trip.
19:19We've got plenty of plenty of stuff off the list for a lot less than we thought we were going to spend.
19:23We've got an absolute bargain on that projector, didn't we?
19:25Yeah.
19:26We're just a little bit worried about what the chairs might look like, because they are quite chintzy granny.
19:30Yeah.
19:31But they're really ornate big.
19:34And for the price we paid.
19:3615 euros a chair and they're like Louis Rococo renaissance-y.
19:39Yeah.
19:40They've got a jolly for that one.
19:41Tell me if you need me to grab the other ends.
19:44The boys are going to be so pleased with how much we've got.
19:47Perfect.
19:48That's it.
19:49And now, Joshua and Martin are turning their attention to the bar worktop.
19:54And they've come up with another clever solution, using some old oak flooring.
20:00So, we could use this several different ways.
20:01We could either do a full herringbone pattern or chevron or build off a herringbone and just span out, which is going to be a lot less cuts and a lot easier to do.
20:24Yeah.
20:25No, I think that could be a good one.
20:26Good one.
20:29Nope.
20:31Thaw in that one.
20:32Yep.
20:33Now, this looks fun.
20:35What are we up to?
20:36Found the old timber, but obviously it had all been nailed down, so it's riddled with nails and...
20:42Woodworm.
20:43That's a shame, isn't it?
20:44Yeah.
20:45There's plenty of it, so we can be choosy and maybe try and find ones with less nails.
20:49So, this is the old flooring from the original building?
20:51It's the old flooring from the loft.
20:53Yeah.
20:54Wow, look how thick it is.
20:55I'm repurposing the loft floor.
20:56Thick it is.
20:57That's beautiful timber, isn't it?
20:58You pay a fortune for that.
20:59Yeah, it's incredible.
21:00Look at the top and the finish.
21:01It's going to look really nice on the bar.
21:03And have you both worked with recycled flooring before?
21:06Yes, I have.
21:07I've worked with some parquet flooring.
21:09It's a challenge, but it's worth it.
21:12It's worth it.
21:13So you've got a lot of this timber to get through, have you?
21:15Yes.
21:16I think there's a couple of hundred that were spotted there.
21:18Yeah.
21:19It's worth it.
21:20It's worth it.
21:21And there's some good colour tones as well.
21:22Some are a bit more blonde.
21:23Yeah.
21:24So we're going to be able to incorporate some colours in there as well.
21:29So you could keep it simple and just use these lengths of timber as they are, but you're
21:33using a herringbone effect, which requires a lot more cuts and intricacy, right?
21:36Well, we went for the herringbone over the chevron because there's going to be less cuts.
21:40With the herringbone, we're only going to have to make those cuts at the top against
21:45the wall.
21:46And then once we've laid it all out, we can then just jigsaw around the edge and just
21:50finish it with a bit of beading or something at the front.
21:53It's a lovely piece of wood, but it's a lot of work to de-nale it all and sand it,
21:57isn't it?
21:58Yeah.
21:59So I'm going to leave you to it because you've still got a lot to crack on with.
22:00Cheers, Max.
22:01Cheers.
22:02Over on Blue and Pink's team.
22:05You can smell the rug.
22:06Yeah.
22:07Josh and Sherilyn are back from their brocant shopping spree.
22:11Got it?
22:12Yeah.
22:13Three, two, one.
22:15Woo!
22:16Woo!
22:17There we go.
22:18So what do you think?
22:20Looks great.
22:21I love it.
22:22It's amazing, isn't it?
22:23What I was thinking, we could literally just chop all the way down the side here, all the
22:28way down.
22:29And then we can then take this and use that for the front of the door.
22:32And then we could even just chop like part of the door, the back of the wardrobe here,
22:38and then use that for the coffee table.
22:40Sounds really good.
22:41Yeah.
22:42Yeah.
22:43It's really popped up.
22:44It's quite ambitious.
22:45And yeah, a bit of pressure.
22:46Because I really want it to be perfect.
22:48But I'm confident that it's going to work out.
22:50I'm really confident that the back of this is going to be perfect for the coffee table
22:53as well.
22:54Let's do it.
23:04Amazing.
23:05Fab.
23:06Ready?
23:07Flip it all the way over.
23:08Keep going.
23:09All the way.
23:10Let's go.
23:11Ready?
23:12Get down.
23:13Gorgeous.
23:14Yeah, gorgeous.
23:15You're away?
23:16Yeah.
23:17Let's unclamp these.
23:18Ta-da!
23:19Gorgeous.
23:20Yeah.
23:21Let's hope it fits.
23:22No, it will.
23:23It's going to be fab.
23:24Yep.
23:25Yep.
23:26Gorgeous.
23:27Yeah.
23:28Oh, God.
23:29Let's hope it fits.
23:30Yeah.
23:31No, it will.
23:32It's going to be fab.
23:33Is it?
23:34Yep.
23:35Yep.
23:36Gorgeous.
23:37Gorgeous.
23:38Moment of truth.
23:39Stand it up.
23:40Ooh.
23:41Oh, my God.
23:42How about that?
23:43Perfect.
23:44Amazing.
23:45Perfect fit.
23:46Oh, my God.
23:47Did it measure?
23:48Yeah, we got lucky.
23:49I mean, I feel amazing.
23:50I'm so glad it fits.
23:51It's a great job.
23:52I think it's going to look amazing.
23:53I mean, it looks amazing.
23:54All the little finishing touches, not even on there.
23:55It's not being painted.
23:56Yeah, that will look amazing.
23:57Once the mirrors on there as well, it will really close the room off a little bit and
24:10have that effect.
24:11Plus, it will bring light in because the lights come from there across.
24:13Exactly.
24:14And that's going to bounce straight into the mirror, into the rest of the room.
24:16And then with the burgundy panel in here, and the door's going to be burgundy with some
24:21gold gilding on there.
24:22It's going to be so good.
24:23It's going to be great.
24:24I'm so excited.
24:25You're so lucky with that spacing.
24:26I know.
24:27It's crazy, isn't it?
24:28I can't believe that.
24:29The teams are coming to the end of the second day of their first challenge.
24:33I think it's going really well, and we're all working to our strengths, which I think
24:37is showing because we're making so much progress.
24:40We're all still on the same page with our design idea, and we've got a really clear
24:44vision.
24:45We're really excited about our plan.
24:47We think we're on to a winner, but we just don't know what they're planning.
24:50I think that's half the issue, isn't it, is making sure you stick to your plan and
24:54don't sort of get distracted by what someone else is doing.
25:04Two teams are going head to head in their first challenge, renovating the Chateau's attic
25:09spaces into cosy and comfy snugs to try and win this phenomenal property in France.
25:16Each team has a budget of 1,000 euros, and they only have four days left to finish their
25:22designs.
25:23And I think that's what we're going to do.
25:24When I woke up, I realised we've still got quite a lot to do.
25:26We're doing a kind of a wainscotting type panelling, and we're going to paint that the
25:30same colour as a floor so that it makes the room kind of a little bit more cohesive.
25:34Ties it all in.
25:35I think today we are planning to finish the panelling, paint the panelling, and then you
25:40really want to get finished on the bar, don't you?
25:41I want to finish the bar.
25:42Definitely feeling the pressure today, especially cos the design idea with the door, with the
25:46wardrobe and the coffee table came from me, so yeah, I just really want to get it right.
25:51I think we're going to get to a point after we've painted that things can start to go in
25:55and the room will start to feel a bit more snug.
25:59As part of this week's challenge, both teams' attic spaces must include a custom-made coffee
26:04table from a repurposed item.
26:0737 in the height.
26:11And that's exactly what the Blue and Pink team are turning their attention to now.
26:20Now this looks technical.
26:22Hello.
26:23Hi.
26:24What are you up to?
26:25Making our coffee table.
26:26Yeah?
26:27Oh, I mean, it doesn't look like a coffee table immediately.
26:29No, I mean, it looks stunning though right at the back.
26:32Oh, wow.
26:33Not what I was expecting from the back of a wardrobe.
26:36No.
26:37Okay, so what's the plan now?
26:38What I'm thinking is that we've just lined up the table.
26:41We're going to cut all the way down here.
26:43Yeah.
26:44We're going to keep this beautiful back of the wardrobe and use that for the top of the
26:49coffee table.
26:50Okay.
26:51Can you see the vision?
26:52I'm starting to see the vision.
26:53And then what we're going to do is we're going to then put some more wood along the sides
26:58here and on the other side.
26:59It's the perfect size for the room as well, with the room being quite big.
27:02So it will fit well over the rug we bought.
27:04Absolutely.
27:05And I think what we're going to do is once we've sanded it down and we've given it a
27:08bit of paint, I think it's going to look stunning.
27:11So I don't want to jinx it, but it sounds like everything's going to plan so far.
27:15It is.
27:16At the moment, yeah.
27:17I feel like everything's going to plan, yeah.
27:19But yeah, we'll have to wait and see.
27:21I'm confident now.
27:22You confident?
27:23I'm very confident.
27:24But it's definitely not going to plan for the orange and green team.
27:32It looks awful.
27:34Inspired by colours of their vintage rug, Georgia and Danielle have started the day
27:38dyeing their 30 euro bracon chairs to try and match it in a fabric paint colour called
27:43oxblood.
27:44As we say up north, a bit of trouble at mill.
27:46And they've only got one bottle of paint to work with.
27:49I may have made the mistake of the centre.
27:53Can I get a big scoop?
27:54I wonder whether with the other chair, if we do do like some sort of pre-paint mix.
28:00How much is left in the bottle?
28:02What, that we've used?
28:03I think we've used loads.
28:04Oh, there's not much at all.
28:06We can't get another one of these, this is the last one in stock.
28:09So we're going to be in a real sticky situation.
28:11It's not going to cover two chairs.
28:13What about both top halves?
28:15I think that'll look worse.
28:16We can't do anything now, we've got to make a match.
28:18I think it would look better to have two different coloured chairs than to have
28:22half chairs painted.
28:23But will that cover a whole chair?
28:26Yeah, I think it would cover a whole chair but I don't think it will cover two.
28:28Shall I cover some more with this and see what happens?
28:29Yeah.
28:30Let's put a big splotch in, let's fill this up.
28:32Shall we go for it?
28:33Yeah.
28:34Cos this I think will go a lot further won't it?
28:36That might be a lucky save.
28:41Oh, that's loads better isn't it?
28:43Yeah, that looks better worked in as well.
28:45Yeah it does.
28:46It is going a bit pink and bubbly.
28:49Well, if they're all, if it covers them all, it'll dry darker, hopefully.
28:54It is really isn't it?
28:55They're going to dry pink.
28:56We can always do something, you're fantastic at like sewing and that aren't you?
29:00Yeah but I don't do stuff like this.
29:01So we can do something for the arms.
29:02You need to be positive Georgia.
29:04I just think it would look better to have two chairs, two completely different colours.
29:08I think it looks a bit mismatched if we've got half and half in each chair.
29:13Yeah.
29:14It's not looking lovely is it?
29:16Look at how bad it would look if it was half and half.
29:19We'll see, maybe when the cushions are done maybe it'll look alright but I really don't think so.
29:24And they aren't the only ones going for a pop of colour.
29:27We're going Normandy Rouge.
29:29Professional dancer Josh is starting to paint the panelling in his team's room.
29:33Okay, let's do it.
29:37I hope they like the colour because it's going on.
29:40No going back.
29:41I feel like one of my special skills is the speed of how I roll.
29:45I can roll real good.
29:47We're going to go.
29:49Oh yeah.
29:50That looks great.
29:51So we chose this colour because we wanted to create something like really luxurious.
29:55Me and Josh kind of love these deep colours so we kind of had to plant the seed with the other team that we were going to go this colour.
30:01I think it looks really good already.
30:03I mean I've only just done one roll but I think it's going to look good.
30:06Let's just hope the judges like it I guess.
30:09Oh my goodness.
30:12What do you think?
30:13Oh I love it.
30:14Yeah?
30:15I absolutely love it.
30:16Look at that red.
30:17It's looking good isn't it?
30:18Oh my gosh what a difference.
30:19Okay right let's get started on some painting then.
30:22Amazing.
30:23Yeah I'm very happy with that.
30:25Look at us go.
30:27Dream team.
30:28The clock is ticking.
30:33The teams are nearly halfway through their first challenge.
30:36After today they'll have three days left to complete their spaces.
30:40But before they start the final push to complete their attic snugs.
30:44Teams can I gather you by the workshop please?
30:47Everyone to the workshop.
30:48Everyone to the workshop.
30:49Let's go.
30:50All right.
30:51Come on then.
30:52Come on Josh.
30:53I wonder what this is about.
30:55I have one small surprise for the pairs down at the workshop.
30:59Welcome to your first petite challenge.
31:14Each week I'll set a couple of petite challenges to test your ingenuity, creativity and ability to work against the clock.
31:22Which are all key traits required when running a property of this scale in France.
31:27Today I'd like you to repurpose these glass jars into sets of candle holders fit for a chateau.
31:35You will have just 90 minutes.
31:40You'll be competing in your individual pairs against your teammates to see who wins this challenge.
31:49When your time is up I'll select one set of candle holders from each team which will take pride of place in your attic snug.
31:57I've provided you with everything you should need for this challenge and I really want you to showcase your creativity.
32:03Happy?
32:04Yes.
32:05Excited?
32:06Yes.
32:07Time starts now.
32:08Let's go.
32:13We've got a lot of jar and not a lot of candle.
32:14No it's fine.
32:15I'm just trying to figure out what we can do.
32:17I'm not sure whether we stick to two really classy ones for the bar.
32:20Yeah.
32:21What were you thinking in terms of the base?
32:22I'm thinking we could actually build it up to resemble the ladder going up into our little snug.
32:28That might work.
32:29Yeah.
32:30But what I'm thinking is we'll do some decoupage.
32:32We'll do some decoupage.
32:33We'll do some decoupage.
32:34We'll finish.
32:35Oh wait.
32:36Let me try and have a bit of a go at gluing this on.
32:40I don't want this to blow away.
32:42If I do the top of this.
32:44Yeah.
32:45Yeah.
32:46And then the middle bit.
32:47Yeah.
32:48And then I'm going to put some sand in.
32:49Yeah.
32:50And then a candle.
32:51Yeah.
32:52While the pink and green teams focus on their glass jars.
32:55The Joshes are designing the base for their candle holders.
32:59Wood.
33:00Yeah.
33:01Then what we're going to do is put some holes in either side.
33:03Yeah.
33:04Attach the string through them.
33:05Yeah.
33:06Create another circle but smaller.
33:07Got it.
33:08Create like a wooden chandelier.
33:09OK.
33:10So first of all we need some wood.
33:11Yeah.
33:12Let's see how much wood we've got.
33:13Georgia and Joshua are also going down the chandelier route.
33:16See I was thinking this thicker twine to do like a.
33:19Yeah.
33:20Yeah.
33:21Yeah.
33:22Shall I wrap the twine round this.
33:23Yeah.
33:24Yeah.
33:25Do it.
33:26I just don't want it to look really homemade.
33:27It would be nice if it could look like something you could buy.
33:28Oh good idea.
33:29Just found them in the parts bin.
33:31They're just getting thrown away.
33:32See if they fit round the candles.
33:34They do.
33:35That's perfect.
33:36Yeah you do.
33:37See a lot of cutting and tearing tissue paper.
33:43So let's hope this glue sticks to the glass because if it isn't then my whole idea
33:47is out of the window.
33:49I'll just do some holding.
33:51Yeah.
33:52Yes.
33:53I do a lot of craft actually at home and I did loads growing up because my grandma was an
33:57artist and my mom and dad make everything.
34:00I've made pretty much everything but I haven't made a suspended candle chandelier before in
34:0590 minutes.
34:06I've never made anything like this before but I've seen it on the telly.
34:08So I'm glad that it's kind of sticking.
34:10I don't know if it's going to dry.
34:12I'm absolutely not an arts and crafts person.
34:14I just...
34:15I don't have the vision for it.
34:17Whose idea was this?
34:18Come on mine.
34:22I'm having an issue with my tissue.
34:23Okay change of plan.
34:24We are going to scrap that idea because I think it's not quite the right colour and because
34:28it's got glue on it it's drying even lighter than I want it to be so it's not quite the dark
34:32golden red and it's just getting lighter and lighter so it looks very pink.
34:35Oh it's very stressful.
34:44Four determined pairs are competing in a renovation showdown for a chance to win this phenomenal
34:49property in France.
34:52Yes.
34:53As part of their first challenge renovating the chateau's garage attic spaces into cosy
34:57snugs.
34:58This is going to take me ages.
35:00They've now been given just 90 minutes to battle it out in a petite challenge.
35:05To repurpose glass jars into sets of candle holders fit for a chateau.
35:11Feel, feel, feel, feel.
35:12Load.
35:13And time is running out.
35:14You have 45 minutes left.
35:17My God!
35:19Help me!
35:20Oh.
35:21Perfect.
35:22We're chilling.
35:23Oh my gosh.
35:25We kind of started again.
35:27Oh.
35:28So we're writing this one off completely are we?
35:29That one's gone.
35:30You're not incorporating this at all anymore into your design?
35:33No I won't be incorporating it.
35:34This was the one that I kind of completed and I just wasn't happy with the finish.
35:37So I'm going to leave that to one side and we're going to focus on this part of it and
35:41make it more rustic.
35:42It's not been a good start.
35:43It's not been a great start.
35:44No.
35:45Okay but you're on track now.
35:46We're on track.
35:47You're focused.
35:48Yeah.
35:49And you've got to use your glue in the end anyway.
35:50Yes.
35:51And I've definitely like become the glue queen.
35:52Half the time is gone.
35:53So get a wriggle on.
35:54Yeah.
35:56Pressure is on big time.
35:58Things are going a bit better for the Joshes.
36:00Come on.
36:01So it could be a chandelier already.
36:02Do you know what I mean?
36:03Well as soon as I seen those candles I thought I love chandeliers.
36:06So for me this idea just kind of came straight to me and as soon as I seen string I thought
36:11right wood, string, let's create like a wooden chandelier.
36:15On the other side of the workshop.
36:17Look.
36:18So imagine.
36:20Danielle and Martin are not just repurposing glass jars.
36:24Like that look.
36:25Lifted in there yeah.
36:26You like?
36:27I'm up for that yeah.
36:28But I also don't know if he's a bit earthy.
36:30Don't know.
36:31We'll see.
36:32Josh and Georgia are also thinking outside the box.
36:35I don't think we're allowed to use that are we?
36:37No.
36:38But if we take inspiration from it.
36:39Yeah.
36:40It's like a round bit of log that you could use.
36:44He's looking at me like this is out of my comfort zone.
36:47I'm a bit worried I'm going to run out of twine.
36:49Oh yeah one of them could work.
36:51One, two, three, four yeah.
36:52Yeah do four then.
36:53So that's what I imagine.
36:54Sweet we're going.
36:56Yeah.
36:57He's doing one done.
36:58Cute.
36:59Gorgeous.
37:00Let's go.
37:01The Joshes look like they're doing really well.
37:03Their design looks really similar to ours but maybe a more, a less rustic version.
37:08Sherilyn and Daniel are finally making progress on their candle base.
37:12Okay.
37:13So this is painted.
37:16Done.
37:17I think we might have time to make another item.
37:20But we don't know how much time we've used yet.
37:2320 minutes left everybody.
37:2520 minutes.
37:2620 minutes.
37:27Oh no.
37:28How the hell has 20 minutes passed?
37:29Yes babe.
37:30Right so a piece of the lace on each of the coasters.
37:33Right.
37:34If you rolled over that gold.
37:36Then gold it.
37:37And make it like a little pattern.
37:39Right what are you pair up to?
37:41We're nearly finished actually so we think we might have time to do a second piece.
37:44That's just showing off now isn't it?
37:46The opposition have clearly not produced one and you're about to start your second.
37:50Now do you remember the design brief?
37:53Was it to repurpose something in particular?
37:56I don't remember.
37:57Like some glass jars or something?
38:00I don't remember that being part of it.
38:02You don't remember me saying that?
38:04No but we'll get on that now.
38:05Absolutely not.
38:06It's making me nervous.
38:07Glass jars.
38:08How did we miss that?
38:09I don't know.
38:10Looks a bit um...
38:11Crafty at the moment.
38:12Crafty at the moment.
38:13Crafty at the moment.
38:14Crafty is the flight for us isn't it?
38:17They look really bad.
38:19In a desperate attempt to fulfil the brief.
38:22I might try and find a drill bit like a hole saw.
38:26Do you want to go and look?
38:27Yeah.
38:28Joshua is thinking of repurposing anything he can find from the garden.
38:31So Josh has just found a grubby bit of sleeper
38:35and he's just gone to see if he can find a hole saw
38:38the size of the jam jars to kind of set them into it for the...
38:43Or he could do it the size of the tea lights actually.
38:45Oh no because we need to use the jam jars.
38:47We keep forgetting about the jars.
38:49What do you feel like a gardener?
38:50Sort of gardening.
38:52I want to kind of get it quite full but we don't want to take the whole tree down.
38:56I actually need to get some leaves.
39:00Grab some ivy.
39:01As many red leaves as you can.
39:03The blues aren't the only ones incorporating the Chateau's garden into their design.
39:07Okay.
39:09I think just try and work out how to make this look like I've just got a piece of wood and put three holes in it.
39:17Oh you're going to dry.
39:19My arm is so soft.
39:21You've only just held it.
39:23Well we've got probably eight minutes now I reckon.
39:25Don't want to wax on everybody but you've only got two minutes left.
39:29Two minutes left Josh.
39:30I've lost my lid.
39:31Concentrate.
39:32Get your gold and start dabbing.
39:33I'll hold that.
39:34No leave it.
39:35Oh no.
39:36It slipped off.
39:37Woo!
39:38That was heavy.
39:39Hold on to those two please.
39:40Oh my gosh.
39:41Quick, quick, quick.
39:42Time's up.
39:43Tools down.
39:44Time to show me your designs.
39:49Each pair had 90 minutes to repurpose old glass jars into complimentary candle holders.
40:02And now their first petite challenge is over.
40:05It's time to judge their designs.
40:08Sherilyn, Daniel.
40:09Hello.
40:10Would you like to explain your design?
40:12So we've taken our inspiration from our snug where you go up the stairs and it opens out.
40:16We've built a little stepping stones all the way up.
40:19Okay and the colour scheme?
40:21Gold and black to suit our room.
40:23We've got the burgundy touches in there from the trees as well.
40:26Okay.
40:27Fantastic.
40:29Right you two, what have you created?
40:33Okay so this is our rustic chandelier inspired design which came out of Josh's head in about 30 seconds.
40:40Did the idea in your head Josh come to fruition?
40:43Yeah I think so.
40:44I mean I'm happy with it.
40:45I mean if we had a little bit more time, a few more things to work with then yeah I think we could have made it a little bit more elevated.
40:52But I'm happy with where it's at now and I think the vibe that I was going for originally,
40:56I wanted it to go above the coffee table in our room.
40:59So you can actually envisage exactly where it's going.
41:02Yeah.
41:03In the snug.
41:04Great stuff, well done.
41:08Right, Joshua and Georgia tell me about your chandelier.
41:11We were inspired by the cartwheel originally and then you reminded us that we were meant to recycle jam jars.
41:16So Josh quickly thought of a solution.
41:18I saw it round the back and I thought it just looked amazing and it would go really well in our room so.
41:23Yeah.
41:24And we thought we'd do a three piece suite so we've got ceiling lights, a coffee table statement piece and then just some side table lighting.
41:31And you created this chandelier from scratch right?
41:34So Josh kind of sourced and I put it together.
41:37It's a dream team right?
41:38Yeah.
41:39Well done.
41:42Martin and Danielle, what have you created?
41:44We took the brief of obviously making sure that the main thing that we used was the glass jars.
41:49Where did you find the old tiles?
41:51So the old tiles were salvaged from the barn so what we also thought is if we put them behind,
41:56because the room is quite dark, when the candles are lit it will give a really nice backlit blow.
42:01Are you pleased with how it went?
42:03Yeah I am.
42:04Are you?
42:05Yes I am.
42:06Joint decision so yeah.
42:07Well done.
42:09Only one candle holder design can go into each of the team's snugs.
42:14So who will come out on top?
42:17Firstly well done everybody for working so hard.
42:20There's some fantastic creativity on display and you've really given it your all.
42:25Sherrilyn and Daniel, I love the way you incorporated the staircase from your attic into your design.
42:30I think the colours, they'll really complement what you're going to do up there.
42:33It does feel a little bit unfinished but I guess that's to be expected given you gave yourself half the time.
42:39The Joshes.
42:40You created a fantastic chandelier.
42:43You even found a red tree to match your attic design which was a lovely touch.
42:48So the candle holder going into your attic snug is...
42:54Josh and Josh.
42:55Aww.
42:56Amazing.
42:57Well done.
42:58Aww.
42:59Now Joshua and Georgia, that was a lot of work and a really good vision.
43:04You did forget about the glass jars but you rescued it and then created your set of three that incorporated those jars beautifully.
43:12Martin and Danielle, your salvaging skills are second to none.
43:15The way you found the various tiles, you've utilised the rope, the different tones and materials, I think that looks fantastic.
43:22And I can imagine the glow of the candles flickering off the roof tiles beautifully.
43:27I can imagine both of your designs in your attic space and it's a really, really tough call.
43:33Because of the level of craftsmanship that went into your make, the candle holder going into your attic space is going to be Joshua and Georgia.
43:45Yay!
43:46Well done.
43:47Well done.
43:48Right, no time for celebration.
43:51Back to your attic spaces.
43:53Go, go, go!
43:55I think winning the petite challenge has given us the confidence boost we needed and I would be surprised if we are going home.
44:01But I might be really wrong and it might be us.
44:05Look at that tissue.
44:06Feeling really excited and energised after winning the challenge.
44:10We now feel more determined than ever to finish this room, make it really good so we can win two challenges this week.
44:17Not as confident as I was in the beginning of the week.
44:19That was a mini version of a very real thing that's about to happen.
44:22Yeah.
44:23It was a massive eye open.
44:26Not feeling great about losing the challenge.
44:28Pressure's on.
44:29We've got stiff competition.
44:30Somebody's going home.
44:31It better not be us.
44:32Next time.
44:33Going up?
44:34Yeah, we're up.
44:35Pressure is mounting.
44:36Are you okay, Danielle?
44:37I'm going to get a knock sore.
44:38As our two teams battle it out.
44:41What's the plan for yours, sir?
44:42We can't tell you that.
44:43For the attic snug crown.
44:45They look like they're from like the Emerald City.
44:47Who will wow the guest judges?
44:49Amazing, isn't it?
44:50What a transformation.
44:51Couldn't be any more polar opposite.
44:53And who will miss the mark?
44:55Someone has to leave us today.
44:57And that pair is...
