Viscount and Viscountess Hinchingbrooke 👑👑
I absolutely love having this long of a video. I can watch while going about my day. And it's the best. Thanks, Julie!
Julie, ur one of the hardest working Americans I've seen in a while. "Happy Christmas" to ur family and staff.🎅
Beautifully done! Julie, it's not just gardening gloves you need, but also WORK GLOVES!!! You will notice that the craftsmen wear them. You should, too! (I am speaking from experience here. Save your hands as much as possible.) Also, use tools as much as possible to lessen the stress and strain on your hands. You will be glad one day if you do and if you don't, you will suffer the pains in later years from overuse and strain on your joints. Word of experience here....
The only thing wrong with a classic fixture with beautiful hot and cold water taps, is that you can have hot water, and you can have cold water, but you'll never have warm water from your taps. That's how it was when I moved into my 1925 house. I had to change it, and pretty quickly.
So smart for Julie to know exactly what everyone is suppose to do and how they are to accomplish it. It will be money well spent.
great change from Cinderella to Lady Cinderella - a true fairy tale 👏👍
The fireplace needs a mount. A set of antlers.
The cottage is SERENE, airy, warm. Just lovely.
Best of luck to you and everyone involved in the Mapperton Estates and Gardens ❤
Wow Julie! You knocked that wall down with the sledge hammer! Way to go!
Love watching you and Luke. The work you both do is amazing!
I think you both need to stay in your guest cottages and rooms at least once. It would be a nice staycation for you both ❤
Looks amazing. Well done team. ❤
Love love what is happening with the cottage colours. So fun
Luke sure enjoys teasing Julie.........
Fantastic content. Thank you for your commitment.
The color in the spare bedroom is calming but perhaps you'll consider moving the nightstand b/t the beds instead of over in the corner? That way both guests are able to use the little table during the night.
JULIE PLEASE!!! ive been wondering what you did about the gap in the bathroom window when you put up the wall to make 2 rooms? PLEASE i need to know...
Julie I know you are working so very hard.. You help bring out the Beautiful Culture of the Cottage..I hope to stay there one day..we just moved and settling in..much appreciated your videos
Julie please wear a mask while stripping the carpets because of all the dust, we don’t want you to inhale gross stuff 😷😷😷
Pulling out those old moldy carpets must have been miserable for Julie!!! I was also thinking "you need a mask!" the whole time. Pulling carpet is a nasty, painful job! I don't think any of the workmen wore masks for this renovation, which seems unusual. Maybe they did off camera.
Love your spunkyness. Fun to watch!
What a darling darling little cottage. Love the side and back yards. They have such potentialbince you tame it. I think I can move in whenever you give me the go! It was fun seeing you working all alone. That's the way I love to work but enjoy working with a crew too. So let me know!!✈️
Bravo Julie, to you and all your team! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I love what you have done to the cottage.
Just a thought....I think the flowers on the fireplace in the second bedroom should've been painted.
I think the flowers with colour would look very pretty in the bedroom.
Yayyy… a new episode
Beautiful Julie! Way to crew mmmmm hugs and love!😊
Viscountess you have all done such a wonderful job, is this now on Air BnB yet? Your taste and styles of interior decorations blends in with the area and ambiance of Mapperton.
This episode is terrific. I wondered what was happening at Keeper's Cottage. Thanks for the upload. Wow, to quote Barack Obama, Julie, you have a right to 'bare arms'.
No one like him… wouldn’t be quoting him
More patience than I have, I would have an electric trimmer for that job!
Julie, I could spend the rest of my life in that sweet cottage!
Tips from an old pro....
Make it easy on yourself when removing carpet...get a utility knife and cut it up into manageable pieces so you don't have to wrestle it. Also, I've found that I'd rather have hardwood floors but when it's been the case that I could not, I've used wall-to-wall seagrass which is a natural product. I would then put a big rug on top of that. Altho I used to sell high-end carpets, I would never have a wall-to-wall nylon carpet in any home I live in. It gets gross after awhile. With rugs, I have them rolled up and taken away to be cleaned once in a while. Wool carpets are the best.
Also, I'm allergic to almost everything. Dust mites are the worst! Once all that gross carpet is gone, it'll be a lot better.
Maybe take a benedryl before you start back on that carpet job and wear a mask.
I don't know how far along you are on this bathroom job but do your guests a favor and do not get the separate faucets for hot and cold. To get warm water, you must fill up the sink or bath to the temp you want. That's so 40s. Get a faucet that has both hot and cold coming from the same spout. I too like the hot and cold ceramic writing on the faucet, you just don't want separate faucets for each temp.
And as a former, carpenter, builder, designer, owner, and remodeler of an old home.... you must have a good cordless screwdriver. It's essential and invaluable.
As far a picture rails, I don't think we have them here (at least not on new buildings). It would seem to me that those were used to have wires or chains for hanging pictures because you can't put a nail thru stone to hang pictures? Not sure. We have chair rails, but those are lower and are to keep chairs from marring the walls.
Myrtle was my grandmother's name
Except that dark coloured floors show so many bits of dust, dried mud, hair etc. Cheers.
@@kristinedunner988
That's absolutely right but she was talking about black anyway. Personally, I wouldn't go that dark unless you want to clean every floor everyday.
Love what you all did with the Cottage 🌹
Yes yes go with the lighter green for dining room!!!!
How wonderful it is when you can choose furnishings from your own storage supply. I love when that happens.
Of course you can do it you are amazing😘
Wonderful production!! The results are perfect!
Black floors are great!
Looks great, but think about putting lamps by the nighstands for reading.
To answer the question on picture railing or whatever the picture molding was called. I have always heard it as picture/frame rails when I worked in a small gallery in the American South. I think it is also called hanging rails or picture hanging rails. I do know in the past probables 40yrs in many public schools and in some college dorms there has been the practice of using a cork strip in place of picture rails which is usually called a cork railing. However I grew up in the American south which imo uses more British than American English compared to the rest of the US so I could be very wrong. 1:32:49
Please, please, where is the drinks wrought iron table in the family room from. Love it.
Take a rest over Christmas
I absolutely love this cottage..it is a dream !
Passion flower in the US is called clematis.
"clematis and passion flower are not the same thing, but there are some species that look similar"
Love the greens! A suggestion: for artwork, maybe you could showcase some local artists … the artworks could be for sale also - with a commission to you of course 😊😊
Brilliant! 😊
I love the color of that backsplash!
Pumice stones work very well at removing rust on porcelain tubs and sinks.
Wonderful.
I would suggest taller lamps in the bedroom with green pillows. The proportions aren't right.
It should be lovely.😊
Howdy from Brookings Oregon. Love all your videos. 🤠
Julie is amazing a strong motivated woman….
Looks lovely🇨🇦
Fabulous 👌🏽 😘🍄
In California we call them picture rails.
Funny! Here in California, if one pronounces the word "soldering" the way the written word appears (by saying it with the letter "L" sound), one might expect to be corrected, and instructed to say it as if it were "sawdering". Julie said it as "sawdering", and it was mentioned to her that the "L" should be pronounced, the way the written word appears.
Beautiful so welcoming
I’m visiting the UK right now but won’t make it to Mapperton. Hanging out in Bristol with family
I use the term dado for the picture rail. Dado can also refer to chair rail at a lower height 🇨🇦
Looks amazing, love thwt you can go to the storage unit and find furniture to use , love the table and side tables . Reuse repurpose, I’m not a fan of curtains hanging on the floors , even if it is the style , they always get dirty and dusty
Maybe wildflowers in the garden?
If you’re going to change out the hardware on the doors, I would like to buy some. I have an 100 yr old milk house that the handle broke and I need to replace them. Let me know.
“Because you’re plain and boring” 😂😂😂❤
Try muriatic acid to scrub stains. If it’s rust, use a rust remover cleaner.
Julie I believe its a begonia not an hydrangea.
Julie, you absolutely look like you’ve developed a dog hair allergy. That was a free allergy test, pulling up that carpet. You def had an allergic reaction. You should get formally tested because it might just be the one breed of dog whose hair and dander was embedded in the carpet.
Julie you look beautiful, I remember you from Ladies of London
When you talked about the color for the woodwork, wasn’t seeing it. Love how it turned out! Am missing the part on the kitchen, bathrooms and landscaping? Will it be added later?
The sitting room fireplace needs something on the wall above it. Its too bare.
A pellet stove would look nice there too
Luke and Julie power couple
How are the showers in the UK?
What about a mirror over the fireplace, and a wood burner stove
We already saw this. Is this a summary of the reno?
It looks great! But, I have a need to put a more substantial mirror above the fireplace and flank it with wall mounted candles with the heat shield reflector backing (or mirror) so you could actually use them in a power outage. The left side of the curtain rod is lower than the right side.
How good is the Internet there?
Malcolm Extraordinaire!
You need space heaters for your project. 🇨🇦
With the weather so cold and rainy, would it be better to have carpet on the floors?
Julie how much are you charging to stay at the cottage?
I do love so much of what you do ,but we cant always agree. All the drapes are way too heavy a look for the rooms you put them in. It reminds me of a dreary winter day in the 1800’s. Their small rooms. The thing I hate most is the black floor. You’ll have enough people liking. You’re very creative with all the other redos. The things I mentioned are a big miss for me. Not my cottage. If you like it who cares what I think. Looking forward to your next project. Thank you for sharing all your hard work.❤
To my mind it's all a bit off. Too fussy and cluttered with lampshades and lampstands. The same green on the dining table dulls the imagination. Hate the flaps on the beds too. A mishmash of styles doesn't add up to eclectic and I know subway tiles remind me of public toilets but that's enough for now. A homage to a game-keeper's cottage.. really ? And no to frilly cushions on a seat!
So no more chimney? Can't have a cottage in Britain without chimneys 😢
So Julie is renovating a piece of income property for the estate and Luke wants her to watch the budget . I’m just asking but how much will the rewilding project cost and how much income will it add to the estate?
I don't see any Court of Arms
Hopefully you are recycling what you can. Someone may want the paneling.
Any beach access?
16 minutes by car according to the internets.

I wish Julie would bring her eyebrows in a bit, they are too far apart.
Need a mask: years of dust, carpet fibers, dirt, any type of dander...
Mask and eye protection PLEASE 🇨🇦
How you could do these chores with a mask and work gloves is beyond me
Youve already done this...come on.
Okay....First of, I am not a fan of this black floor and the whole renovation looks like an IKEA showroom. I don't know whether Julie or the designer (Malcolm) who truly redesigned this cottage as it is an exact replica of Julie's small Italian house with the same color scheme to the decor. I am very disappointed as I was expected a cute quaint cottage feel to the renovation instead all I see is indeed a modern soft colored IKEA theme, kinda reminds me of Cape Coddish look here in New England USA. Try to paint the floor a deep mahogany brown instead of this black as it give the impression that you just want to paint black and move on. Julie, you are not good with cultural details and historical replications. The main bedroom should not have two small bed and worse you pull them together. I believe it is the room that needs to have the cottage feel instead it looks like a hotel room. Please do not touch this beautiful cabinet in the living room as you are planning to destroy it by putting a TV as you stated. This beautiful cabinet should have have books and other useful objects for the cottage. I don't get the cottage feel from this renovation and this is definitely not a cottage I would want to rent for my stay......Just not my taste! This is not a homie and quaint as a cottage in my humble opinion.
Um. Okaaay.
Tired of see a video about this remodel.
Then why are you commenting here? Honest question. No one is forcing you to watch it. If you don’t want to see updates about this (or any) remodels, then don’t watch them.
@ so they know to change it up. No one said you have to commit me on my post. My post was not to you or for you. Karen
I’m not… I love the renovations and the other videos
@@RonAaron33You’re the Karen not them
@ I do to, but it just showed over & over & over & explain & explain & explain again. Also the common-was for them, not you.
