Oh, bless you for bringing Malcolm in. His idea of making a cold room look warm is brilliant. And the color palette he's chosen is exactly what I have in my living room, so I love it!
TY for not deleting the emotional part ...you did a brilliant job and seeing that its so important to you helps us to understand how difficult and fulfilling this is for you!
I agree, sometimes when we want everything to be so good and it’s doesn’t look like much was done, it’s disheartening… thanks Julie for all you do and for caring so much for a great job
Julie, now that you’re researching and documenting the life of Alberta, you know what is needed to document history. I hope you’ve thought of yourself as part of the future family history and are leaving everything needed to tell your story in the future. Like wonderful oil paintings of yourself and Luke to hang with all the other family members, as well as lots of photos of The Life of Julie. You will be as,or more interesting in the future to someone like yourself. Help them out I say. ☺️🩷
luckily, the current Earl, Countess, Viscount, and Viscountess can make digital videos of their stories, milestones, and memories. And of course, this channel will be a great archival source. But, the tangibles are important too -- wedding invitations, birth certificates, guest books, newspaper articles, etc. Not everything should be a digital record. 😊
I watched you on Ladies of London. You amazed me with your passion and deep dedication to preserving your home for your family and the future. I still wish you all the best.
Everytime you go into an old building on the property I get so excited. Lol it's just like treasure. Granted to others it might be dusty rotted old furniture but to me, I see a treasure hoard. Lol it's fun.
Don’t cry, it‘s amazing how much effort you are putting in yourself! I admire that you take your audience‘ feedback onboard and get help to revise decisions! Great job, one of the best and most authentic videos on RUclips that I have seen in a long while, thank you!
You all did a wondrous job on the exhibition. It's very inspiring to know this lovely home has found such great caretakers in the Earl, Countess, Viscount, and Viscountess, who are so dedicated to its legacy and preservation. I hope all your hard work keeps paying off.
These colors, fabrics and textures are beautiful. This color scheme makes me think classic Georgian. It’s warm, rich and elegant, while still bringing so much light into the room.
My MIL was an art historian and also hung tons of stuff with fishing line! We have inherited her house full of old books and weird artifacts including a big ass piano that has just become the grandest shelf in the house! It is nowhere near as grand as Mapperton, but Julie inspires me to be a good "lady of the manor" so to speak. lol (I have also been up on ladders cleaning my walls with melamine sponges! I love that ya'll show the real (and not just the glamorous) parts of owning a crazy old house!)
What a wonderful job you've done Julie on the Alberta exhibition, just beautiful and so detailed. I particularly like the AI Alberta on the iPad that Luke created, just genius, great job Luke, it's like Alberta is in the room, it brought tears to my eyes listening to her answering your questions and describing her life and Mapperton too. Well done both of you, so inspiring
I appreciate you putting the time in to put the whole story of the Italian House and rooms and gardens and rooms and plans being done at the Manor, for all your new people and I enjoy watching it again while I’m working xx
Your fingerless gloves are your trade mark. Interesting project you’re getting into. You’re a history Detective for sure, thank you for bring us along.
You can use an extra large fluffy duster that is bendable & comes on an extendable pole to dust off the decorative ceiling & light fixtures. Amazon has them.
I love seeing this again, its' entirety! Thanks Julie for all your hard work and especially your vision for Alberta to be showcased in this fashion. Boo hoo to the negative Nancy for the 'rerun' post. By the way, I really enjoyed your virtual tour of Alberta's exhibition. 😊😊
Soooo once happy I found your channels 😊✨ I come to London a few times a year and can’t wait to come to Mapperton next visit. Sadly I just heard you say the dates and so I’ll miss it in December 😢 I love to visit all these lovely homes in visits🎉✨ have you been to Ham house? I love the garden and cafe there- and gorgeous house as well 💫🌷
I like the gentleman pink personally for the walls - mmm nice! How exciting. I’ve been going through my family history. My parents, before they both passed away, bless them were putting together a family tree, and the collected lots and lots of old documents; birth, death, marriage certificates, old church records of wills and eulogies, newspaper clippings of stories related to family members, books written by family members, old photographs, so, so interesting. My mother’s life is particularly interesting and her childhood was very sad but interesting and her side of the family so diverse, my great grandparents met on the boat coming to England. He was a Russian Jew; a hat maker, a Milner and she was a Romanian Jewish gypsy. So, so interesting and my Dad’s side is East end London going back to like the 1600s or something- it’s crazy but so fun to look at his family names and history. Finding out from old census’s what their occupations were- working class all the way! I’ve had so much fun. Unfortunately my life has been crazy and my physical and mental health has been really bad. I’ve been evicted after 21 years of renting this house and have had a nightmare trying to find somewhere to live - door after door slammed in my face because I am on disability benefits and don’t have a personal guarantor. It’s been so bad to the point of feeling suicidal actually. But I think I have turned a corner and packing up all my stuff and boxing up the family history stuff has been quite cathartic even if it does all have to go into storage for a bit, we will see, but anyway sorry for the family history lesson just felt like sharing because I could relate to the piles of letters and journals. Not to that extent obviously, we’re just ordinary folk in comparison 😂but really enjoyed this video thank you. ❤
As an interior designer who works with (unusual) colour combinaisons; the lavender palette you’ve selected does not work with The colour of the stone should guide you in your colour selection. You don’t need to match it, but you need to find a co,our that compliments it. Then you can ply with hues and tones to elevate it. After reading that, you can choose a light colour for the bookcases and the woodwork.
P.S. If something is a bit of a recap, i think it would be wonderful to put this in the title! Because sometimes I am actually in the mood of a recap and want to watch it, but it is good to know that this is what it is, at least in parts. Love you guys.
Very interesting to hear Alberta was interested and followed Swami Vivekananda. Julie, have you ever considered that you are Alberta reincarnated? I seem to think you are. When I see pictures of Alberta I see you, Julie. All that hard work going in to the exhibit was interesting to see and makes us all appreciate all exhibits now that we attend. So much work to all the details. FANTASTIC JOB!
Julie, I love you with all my heart and will contune watching you. But when something has "renovation" and "full story" in it, I am mentally and emotionally preparing to see the finished result. I was letting out a loud cry of excitement when I saw this video at first, but while it is well done and always a joy to see you in any capacity, I really feel this video could have benefited from a different title, something that puts Alberta in the focus and not the renovation of the library. I would have happily watched this, agog to learn more about dear Alberta, while this way, it feels a bit misleading, even though I am convinced that it was not done on purpose. I am grateful enough that you share your life and your beautiful house with us and hope a bit of contructive feedback it welcome. Much love to you and Luke.
I remember seeing a similar approach in Singapore where they used a person/ actor on screen as the face of the AI - interacting to questions. Its a great approach.
With documents needing protection from the light etc and best preserved not being handled, and also for ease of reading I suggest following the great libraries around the world and getting hi res photos taken and creating a flip through touch screen installation. If you take photos while the journals are unbound they will actually be damaged less and you won't lose ends of lines in the gutter. This kind of diisplay can also go online like the British Library's Lindisfarne Gospel. You could have a journal and a couple of letters in best condition, rotating every season to minimise light damage, in a display case nearby. The advantage of a digital display is that people can interract with the material but also enlarge the tiny criss-crossed script for older eyes. Obviously you can only digitise a handful of documents but actually this allows more items to be seen in a small space. As the books and letters are conserved you could add more to the collection. Having them online might draw people to visit in person but also allow people to go deeper in the comfort of their own homes. On screen display could include the transcripts.
Personally for estethic reasons, i would put pilasters aside the stone fireplace, which "support" the upper decorated part of the chimney piece, which seems to be hanging a bit oddly above the stone fireplace. very sober, subtle pilasters,wich could be in the samen colors of the wall orsamen than the upper part of the chimney . the wall sconcescan return on the pilasters, pilasters can be made of wood.
Julie did you say they were dry cleaning sponges,goodness were did you find them,that’s cool,every house should have them,are they like high dollar magic erasers
Go really dark and moody and romantic…. Or ketchup and mustard colors is always good too like you’ve chosen but very very safe…… This room is a free for all go big or go home guys 💖
Don't unfold the calling cards. That has a traditional meaning. It could mean she or the person visited or she would return the visit. Folding calling cards is a very old tradition. Really love the video by the way.
Julie, all colors are affected by the color you put them next to. In this case you have a very warm fireplace in the library, so I don't like the lilacs next to it at all. The pale pinks will do better. The almost whites are too cool. Also I wouldn't go with anything that's darker than the walls are already.
In all of the things you have found at your home, have you found anything interesting in regards to the early Earl of Sandwiches involvement in the Hellfire Club?
Do you know the maker of the lock on the writing case? I bet each case did not have a unique lock so there could be a matching key in another collection which could be ĺent to open the case.
Longform content is becoming more popular again. A lot of channels I follow are making COMPILATION or RECAP videos without disclosing in the titles… could be a playlist.
I’m sorry, but I really don’t like that color. It looks like pea soup in some light and neon\ fluorescent in other light and it just seems to clash with everything.
I hate the reruns!!! Why not just upload the last 15 mins as a new video? It seems rude and wasteful of our time to constantly reuse content we’ve seen.
I would suggest that it is this comment and the tone intended that is most rude. I would say chill. When I don’t like a YT video or it’s content I don’t watch or unsubscribe and have done so often with other channels, it is my choice 100%.
Julie may be in a privileged position but she gives far more back to English heritage than she receives. I commend her for her enthusiasm and dedication to her cause and that is to preserve Mapperton for not only her family but for posterity. She is an exceptional person and such an asset to the Montagu family.
Anyone who is beginning a painting project goes through this. It is in no way a privileged problem, it’s a dilemma faced by many when deciding on what color to paint one’s abode.
@@skepticalmaiden you’re right it’s not a “privilege problem”. I’m sure all the third world people living in Huts made of mud have the same issue…. I’m sure all the people from the India cast system are going through the same problem right now… definitely not a “privileged person” issue. Wake up… you insulting brat. Let me guess you’re a Harris voter.
Oh, bless you for bringing Malcolm in. His idea of making a cold room look warm is brilliant. And the color palette he's chosen is exactly what I have in my living room, so I love it!

Everytime you go into an old building on the property I get so excited. Lol it's just like treasure. Granted to others it might be dusty rotted old furniture but to me, I see a treasure hoard. Lol it's fun.

JUST BEAUTIFUL I LOVE LETTERS FROM THE PAST LOVE IT
These colors, fabrics and textures are beautiful. This color scheme makes me think classic Georgian. It’s warm, rich and elegant, while still bringing so much light into the room.
I have been watching you from Australia for a long time now. This exhibition and AI is seriously impressive. A huge congratulations.
Brilliant job Malcolm
Wow i loved alberta talking to you. It made cry.
Definitely‘Gentleman’s pink’ for the walls and Kensington Rose for the woodwork.
My MIL was an art historian and also hung tons of stuff with fishing line!

Julie nice video regarding renovation of your 18th century library and good explanation regarding. Alberta exhibition and history.
gentlemans pink for wall
Absolutely beautiful choices in decor I love colors you chose. How exciting!!
Thank you for sharing. ❤
I loved the colors you and Luke picked out better than the colors you went with!
I love seeing this again, its' entirety! Thanks Julie for all your hard work and especially your vision for Alberta to be showcased in this fashion. Boo hoo to the negative Nancy for the 'rerun' post. By the way, I really enjoyed your virtual tour of Alberta's exhibition. 😊😊
this is so much fun watching restorations. yeah
Saddle soap is a wonderous product for leather. it makes them look almost new. helps rehyrate the leather and rejuvenate it.

Kensington rose woodwork, gentlemen',s pink walls. Paint always dries lighter, remember.

You need a very soft brush for the fancy ceiling cleaning
Could you please just pop the logs 🪵 in a basket and a couple inside the stove. My ocd can’t handle them just lying around 😂
Same! I was like, “let’s just stack these in a log carrier”. 😂
Personally for estethic reasons, i would put pilasters aside the stone fireplace, which "support" the upper decorated part of the chimney piece, which seems to be hanging a bit oddly above the stone fireplace. very sober, subtle pilasters,wich could be in the samen colors of the wall orsamen than the upper part of the chimney . the wall sconcescan return on the pilasters, pilasters can be made of wood.
Try using a soft dry paintbrush to remove dust & cobwebs.
Julie did you say they were dry cleaning sponges,goodness were did you find them,that’s cool,every house should have them,are they like high dollar magic erasers

Have the 4th Earl of Sandwich's journals during his tenure during the American Revolution been published?
The box look like a stationary/writing box
Julie, all colors are affected by the color you put them next to. In this case you have a very warm fireplace in the library, so I don't like the lilacs next to it at all. The pale pinks will do better. The almost whites are too cool. Also I wouldn't go with anything that's darker than the walls are already.
Seen this.
A repeat, have noticed this happening often on not only this u tube....
What book was Malcom using to show you room inspiration?
In all of the things you have found at your home, have you found anything interesting in regards to the early Earl of Sandwiches involvement in the Hellfire Club?
Her accent is SO modern, I don't understand how you both seem to think it's accurate.
Oh yeah, the interior designer’s ideas are obviously better 😂
TL:DW looks like a compilation of old vlogs
Can't wait to see the Solar panels on the roof 🤣
Leave the patina on the brass so it compliments the finish on the box. If you polosh the brass it will not look all of a piece. No polish!
Do you know the maker of the lock on the writing case? I bet each case did not have a unique lock so there could be a matching key in another collection which could be ĺent to open the case.
if you paint the picture rail you bring the cieling height down
Please let Julie talk to the end of the conversion. Luke please dont interupt all the time.
A lighter color for that room is going to make the room look cheaper
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌞😻
😊
Why so many repeats?
Nothing by a window
Have you considered using a mask and safety glasses to protect your eyes and respiratory apparatus?
Is it just me or does Alberta sound like Hillary Clinton?
Red ropes
Why is this being shown again? This is old news
I thought it was me but it’s been the same with the house in Tuscany. Showed the kitchen redo again?
Longform content is becoming more popular again. A lot of channels I follow are making COMPILATION or RECAP videos without disclosing in the titles… could be a playlist.
Probably because they are switching over from tourism season to private season, maybe no time to film new video this week.
For those who haven't seen it.
Two hours is too long! Whether old news or new!
Lee Robert Rodriguez Thomas Perez Mark
Please Please Please wear gloves when touching the photos, paperwork & books. The oils and other residue on hands will damage this historic work
I’m sorry, but I really don’t like that color. It looks like pea soup in some light and neon\ fluorescent in other light and it just seems to clash with everything.
No repeating so much
The colors are better. But Julie can you just not use that accent. You are American.
I hate the reruns!!! Why not just upload the last 15 mins as a new video? It seems rude and wasteful of our time to constantly reuse content we’ve seen.

There’s so much other things to watch, that there is no reason for your wailing. Go watch something else.
Wow, so many choices of the same color..! is this what privileged problems look like?
Julie may be in a privileged position but she gives far more back to English heritage than she receives. I commend her for her enthusiasm and dedication to her cause and that is to preserve Mapperton for not only her family but for posterity. She is an exceptional person and such an asset to the Montagu family.
