A New Project For Our French Kitchen
Two new kitchen projects that need your input, the first plasterboard in the attic bedroom, and a makeover for Phoebe’s cat tree.
Who Are We
Hi there, we're Romy & Hugo. In 2023, we bought an abandoned 19th-century townhouse in Bordeaux, France, and decided to document our journey as we bring this beautiful property back to life. Through Restoring La Chartreuse, we're sharing everything about our restoration process—the highs, the lows, and all the learning curves in between
Latest from the Restoration
We Left Our Bordeaux Home
A last-minute house exchange in Brittany as the Gironde fires burned, a detour through Le Perche on the way home, one missing cat, and the attic’s first insulation.
A Long Overdue Update To Our French Restoration
A third heatwave, a secret drip irrigation project, and a wall that refuses to be straight. The French restoration rumbles on.
