On this week’s “Castle Impossible,” Daphne and Ian continue their ambitious quest to renovate a 500-year-old chateau just outside of Paris. This week, they turn their attention to the Hunters Lodge, a small cottage on the estate with a special connection to Daphne’s family history – it once served as her grandfather’s home. The lodge is situated on a sprawling 130-acre estate. The couple brings a unique combination of skills to the undertaking, ranging from carpentry and restoration work to garden design. They are revitalizing the estate under strict financial limitations, while battling persistent insect infestations in their quest to breathe new life into this historic property.
In “Princess and the Zzzzs: The Hunters Lodge Bedroom,” the plan is to transform the simple cottage bedroom into a luxurious suite fit for a bride and groom on their wedding night. Considering the main floor of the chateau already hosts weddings, this seems like a smart business move. However, turning a rustic cottage room into a chic bridal suite is no small task, even without the usual chateau-sized challenges. This episode focuses on transforming a rustic bedroom into a grand and romantic suite.
Will Daphne and Ian achieve their vision, or will budget constraints and bug infestations throw a wrench in their plans? Find out this Tuesday, May 27 at 9:00 PM ET on HGTV.
