Keeping that huge house so beautifully polished, dusted, vacuumed and mopped!! must be a horrendous job! Just think of all those windows and curtains! You’d have to have three or four washing machines just to keep up with “Saturday! change your bed!” The thought of all the ironing makes my knees tremble! And how many bumper stick-ons you would need behind all the pictures to keep air flow behind them! You could never sit down! But it’s beauty is it’s saving grace! Julie must have incredible organization skills and courage! And energy! Wow!
@@cindijennings2285 seriously! It’s fascinating but…. Ain’t nobody got time to be opening…then closing… curtains nearly an hour each day when _nobody’s looking out the windows and nobody’s looking in_ lol
No, you're not alone in the curtain closing club! We do the same thing unless they're in rooms that are uninhabited. There are more pressing needs most of the time. I know it's wild, but Mom's a Scot and Dad's a Brit! I come by it naturally! 🤣
Julie, you are like an angel who came into this grand mansion and aristocracy to bring them solutions, joy, and love you are so beautiful and so natural.
I lived in Ireland for a year. They close their curtains, shades, and shutters every evening. It's part of their routine. I always thought it was due to cold drafts. They never could tell me exactly why they do that.
@@thirstaefortae5057 nobody can look in. At night, we might feel the need for cocooning or something of the kind. Shutting the world out and feel (somewhat) safe.
We don’t have shutters in Ireland. But we do have curtains and blinds. We close them for privacy and to keep the heat in cause we usually only get about a week of summer😭.
ah I so enjoyed this. I grew up in an old home (very small - but still) and I love all the little nooks, and how houses that grow and have wings have hidden spots. I know it's a lot of work - but thank you for preserving it and letting us have a peek.
Thank you for your tour. Smiled the entire way through this as it brought back memories from when I was a young boy following my favorite aunt as she took me on a tour of her big old Pa home. My eyes were saucers both then and now. Please keep your freshness and natural presence. We love it. And yes, I’ve subscribed. 👍
We do the same thing Julie! We open all of the blinds and curtains during the day to allow natural light to come in and then, close everything once it gets dark. I love your house! I would love to do a yoga retreat one day there!!! I may never leave! 😊 Quite lovely!
I liked this video so very much! For years and years I have wanted to see what the rooms look like on the different floors of the big historical houses. And finally you showed me what these various rooms look like I got to see some of the inside of the towers that you can see from the outside of the house but they look like they would be super interesting rooms inside the house and I got to see at least one of those areas. Very satisfying to my curiosity thank you!
i'm just wondering why Julie closes curtains in rooms that aren't being used... LOL. I'd be like, "Nope...no one staying in there, let them stay closed [to prevent sun damage]..." Tee hee...
They close them every evening because that is when the heating is on and the curtains act as a form of insulation on the old windows to help keep the heat in. They open them every day because the sunlight adds warmth to the rooms during the day to help keep away damp and it also purifies the air to a small extent for things like dust mites and stuff.
I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for opening your beautiful estate to us. I also love the tradition behind opening and closing the curtains each day. I read where you do this for heat and security, and also because it has been done daily for hundreds of years. That alone is reason to continue. I love this! PS I also enjoy your Italy home videos. Love from Texas and part time Utah mountains.
I love your videos Julie! Thanks for opening your life to us! So many curtains. My OCD is triggered because not one set of curtains was completely closed! Ahhhhh! Ha ha ha, as if it really matters.... I would love to go to one of your retreats one day. You would make it really fun. Xoxo from the USA! Why only two a year??
I love your videos! Thanks Julie! My OCD is triggered because none of the curtains you closed were completely closed in the middle!!!!! Ahhhhhhh! Ha ha ha! Honestly I love you and your enthusiasm. Hopefully one day I will be at one of your yoga retreats.
Thank you so much for sharing the more private (and beautiful) parts of your amazing home. I am fascinated by how so many families live in these amazing homes and open them to the public to keep them going. Netflix had a British show, Weekend Aristocrats (no longer available in the States...darn it) which showed several families who live in such homes. It was so fun to see the private rooms and how they live while opening the homes to others. Have you ever considered hosting other types of retreats? Family reunions? I think I have some cousins who could be talked into such a retreat once Covid is under control!!!!
Doesn't if affect the heat coming out of the radiator to close them off around it? Btw just started watching a couple weeks ago and I am so enjoying it!
It’s like a treasure map, watching you walk thru the house and seeing all these wonderful rooms, secret doors, side hallways....you never know what you are going to find. I’ll bet it’s a never ending joy walking them the house and all the buildings. I am curious how cold the house gets at night due to the heaters going off at 10pm
Thank you for an interesting episode. The beams and sloped roof ceilings make the upper bedrooms such fun. Why do you close the curtains every night? Are you sure someone is not pulling your leg? Or is it to keep heat in? If it is, then why are some radiators behind the curtains. I just leave the curtains closed in unused rooms until guests come. It is a fascinating house, thank you for sharing.
I was thinking the same, especially as many of the curtains look like they wouldn't contain much heat. My house is 4500 sq ft house, so a tiny dolls house in comparison to this gorgeous stately home and weekends when kids are away I don't bother closing curtains.. Nor do I close curtains in bathrooms. Gosh I feel like I'm being a lazy slob 😳. I bet the children helped with this task when younger. Love the channels, so glad youtube put them in my feed.
20 minutes to close / 20 minutes to open curtains daily while walking through the Manor House + checking/locking doors... an efficient way to ensure daily exercise. Not that Julie needs it, it still....
Thank you, I now have a better idea of Mapperton's size and shape architecturally. I'll bet Elizabethan Mapleton didn't have so many bathrooms!!! Surely you enjoy the view and scope of your gardens as you close the curtains. I certainly did.
There's something that I adore about attics. And closing the curtains was cool. Are there some curtains that get skipped, or how does that... can't imagine closing a majillion windows. (I'm sorry but this is the only time that yoga has ever sounded like fun, and it's nowhere near me. Or my continent.) Love the adjustable beds, those are fantastic. Thank you for sharing your home and your time with us. This is a gorgeous home.
It looks very comfortable and nice. I think it would be more relaxing to stay in the attic than in the fussy historical bedrooms. I would be afraid I would break something priceless in the fussy part.
Was that a replica of Capt. James Cook’s ship, HMS Endeavour that he sailed to Hawaii..which he renamed the Sandwich Isles after your husbands ancestor the Earl of Sandwich ?
Why close the curtains?? I love your curtains by the way! Your rooms are stunning! I live in Sweden, so anything old from the UK is so beautiful to us. We have old palaces here too, but Sweden has never been as wealthy as the UK , so ours are so much smaller and more plain. You work so hard! I love your channel. Only discovered it yesterday. Will look back on your previous episodes. Good luck with all your plans for the future!
Julie, I really enjoyed the tour of the bedrooms. I would love to come to one of the yoga retreats one day. Being someone who grew up on a farm with lots of acres, we never closed the curtains at nite. The house was far enough away from the road and when night fall came there were very few cars going down the road. Julie, you are in the middle of the beautiful countryside with 100's of acres, there is no need to close the curtains. LOL. xoxoxo.
I so enjoy these episodes! You are a gem to this American who’s fascinated by all things British. Like the other comments, I can’t figure out a reason why you would open and close all those drapes everyday if you are not using those rooms. Who is peeping in your second floor hallway windows? 🧐🤣🤣
Your videos are fascinating--even just closing curtains. What an interesting life! But also, I bet we could be friends and spend hours talking about all sorts of things. I'd love to attend your yoga retreat but $$$. Ya, there's that. Since I can't do that presently, I enjoy seeing and hearing about Mapperton.
Maybe, but they also must adhere to all the local and federal policies and regulations related to updating a nationally registered estate of that significance.
I don't really see that it is imperative to close and open curtains in this mansion--it's not like there are peeping toms lurking around. I live in a one story house and I usually leave the shutters in their open position for weeks at a time. I only close the curtains in my bedroom, mainly because the sun pours in an wakes me up too early.
You would certainly stay in shape running around closing curtains and opening them everyday! May I ask why they need to be opened and closed in rooms people aren't using?
That shade of green trim in the children’s bedrooms is lovely! What I don’t understand is why open the curtains in rooms that aren’t being used? Surely that would cut down on time? And energy costs? And protect some of the historic rooms from unnecessary sun damage? Idk I’m willing to be wrong about this.
Other than for protection of artwork and furniture, can you leave the curtains open? It’s lots of wear and tear on the curtains. The bear is so sweet!!!!
You are putting the guests into servant quarters? I also noticed that there is no classroom for the noble born kids. When did the family get rid of the governesses and nanny's rooms? Also towards the end you forgot a set of curtains in one of your kids' room. The one you were in before shutting them in Nestor's room. = )
I'm loving watching all your episodes! I cannot believe you have to go through the whole house to close all the curtains....that is a lot of patience! William and Jack have nice big rooms yet Emma and Nester have such small ones?
Why do you close and open all the curtains everyday? I'm sure there's a reason but can you leave curtains closed in rooms that are not occupied? Thanks in advance!
I am thinking around this and it may be that it’s alright, … the house is open to the public and they are used to that and they obviously stay away at school and so on. It is the way it is and I am sure that everything is for a reason and God willing all is well!AMEN!
Lovely tour! Interesting about the yoga retreats. My daughter is avid at yoga, and I am a beginner. Would it work to come together? Also the air B&B sounds great! How many does it hold??
I know some people like their curtains closed for privacy and some people. You can look and see their tv the curtains they keep wide open at night hope that helps
Agree about the curtains, who cares. It appears that these bedrooms were originally servants quarters. It would be interesting to hear some history. I am a new subscriber, it may be a short term relationship...😏
Why close the curtains in every room.. unless it's winter..??? Since it's at night are you keeping heat or cold in ? Or just like the curtains closed? I don't close my guestrooms at night usually unless it's cold.. in which case I leave them closed in winter.. I just open living/kitchen curtains in winter for light ...

it was very entertaining
I loved every second of that action. Such gusto!!
@@idiotsandwhich8073 or I'm closing curtains, while doing filming the video.
Just found this channel and I’m thinking why are we opening them anyway if no one is using them

It may be to conserve heat. Keep the drafts out?

I lived in Ireland for a year. They close their curtains, shades, and shutters every evening. It's part of their routine. I always thought it was due to cold drafts. They never could tell me exactly why they do that.
The main reason we do it is to try and keep the heat in, especially in the winter!
Idk what it is... I live in a tropical country and we do that too 😂 It just feels weird to leave them open?
@@thirstaefortae5057 nobody can look in. At night, we might feel the need for cocooning or something of the kind. Shutting the world out and feel (somewhat) safe.
In the US here. We do it for privacy.

Yes! But I keep wondering why?

My eyes were saucers both then and now. Please keep your freshness and natural presence. We love it. And yes, I’ve subscribed. 👍
any stories of paranormal activity? What is the scariest place to be at night? What are some of the creepiest noises you hear?

All the rooms are so pretty Julie! I can't wait to attend a yoga retreat!!
Can't wait!
At least it isn’t 2 hours like your visit to Boughton House. Lovely visit in the children’s wing. Bathrooms are lovely.
I think the walls in the halls would look so nice with pictures to warm it up
Nestor having a teddy in his bedroom is so adorable! 🥺😊
Doesn't if affect the heat coming out of the radiator to close them off around it? Btw just started watching a couple weeks ago and I am so enjoying it!
Beautiful rooms with beautiful views and tasteful paint colors. It's one place I would love to visit.
Has anyone else found themselves yelling “curtains” to the screen when she leaves a room without closing?
Or when they are not fully closed! ?
Yes, I've done it 3 times lol.
Yes!! 😀
yes :-)
And 100 Times yelling yoga retreeds lol

I’m a tech junkie cuz time is so precious!
Wiring a 600 year old house has a LOT of logistical issues - functionally and esthetically...
would literally love to spend the day here (life goal). Absolutely an amazing home!

Can’t you close/open the
curtains electronically? It’d be simpler and time saving, Julie!

Try a fabric silicon spray on your tracks to help open and close them so they glide well.

I would leave the curtains closed all the time. Is there a reason you have to close and open the curtains every day?
How many times do you say "I'm also closing the curtains" in this episode? 💘 Love you!!!!
So do you open and close curtains in rooms you are not using on a daily basis? Why do you close them every day?
Great tour!! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Who the little girl in the Blue bows Dress.? She's is beautiful. Great video God-bless you all and Keepsafe.
Julie, Why on earth do you close curtains in rooms that are not in use? 😕Love everything on your TH-cam. I still wonder why this though.
Was just wondering Why bother to close the curtains since there r no neighbours peeking in? 🤔
other than your private rooms/quarters, why would you close all the curtains? I'm assuming the home is private and not near other houses?
I'm loving watching all your episodes! I cannot believe you have to go through the whole house to close all the curtains....that is a lot of patience! William and Jack have nice big rooms yet Emma and Nester have such small ones?
Why do you close and open all the curtains everyday? I'm sure there's a reason but can you leave curtains closed in rooms that are not occupied? Thanks in advance!
Security. :-)
Haha! "Curtains. I gotta go close curtains!"😂
Why close the curtains in rooms that aren't being used? I don't bother closing the curtains in my soare bedrooms (we live in Scotland).
Who needs yoga retreat? I’ll come to visit and close your curtains at night during retreat 🤔
Is there a reason you just don't leave the curtains closed in the rooms you're not actively using?
Why close curtains when no one is using the room? Is it to do with the heating?
I am thinking around this and it may be that it’s alright, … the house is open to the public and they are used to that and they obviously stay away at school and so on. It is the way it is and I am sure that everything is for a reason and God willing all is well!AMEN!
Any ghost stories? I find them in a lot of old houses.
Do you think those steep stairs lead up to the servants quarters originally?
Dumb question, but why do you close the curtains every night?
Why do you close them all? Even upstairs, where there is nobody in the room. For keeping heat in?
Lovely tour! Interesting about the yoga retreats. My daughter is avid at yoga, and I am a beginner. Would it work to come together? Also the air B&B sounds great! How many does it hold??
Yes, absolutely! Lots of beginners come as well! The retreats are all - levels. The air bnb houses 5. x
What's the point in opening & closing curtains in common areas, hallways, etc. (especially upstairs) where no one is staying and no one can see in?
Why do you close all the curtains each night?
To help keep the house warm ☺️
@@AmericanViscountess Oh my. I had no idea. Wow.
My question exactly...
Why is it necessary to close curtains in rooms that are being used? Could the alarm come from your furnace?
1:24 Probably a motion detection , do you have ghost?
You mentioned your children coming back for Christmas break. Do they go to boarding schools?
Can someone explain to me why you have to close the curtains?
I know some people like their curtains closed for privacy and some people. You can look and see their tv the curtains they keep wide open at night hope that helps
The first set of curtains at 00:01 I'm assuming radiators aren't on or decorative because otherwise might be a fire hazard?
Think it’s fine with those kind of radiators! Not electric ones!
Why do you close all the curtains upstairs in unoccupied rooms?
Just wondering why the curtains must be closed if the rooms are not currently occupied?
Question: Why not leave the curtains closed in unused rooms?
I was just getting ready to ask the same question.
What is the deal with curtain protocol?
Agree about the curtains, who cares. It appears that these bedrooms were originally servants quarters. It would be interesting to hear some history. I am a new subscriber, it may be a short term relationship...😏
Why do you have to close the curtains in rooms where no one is staying? We don’t close ours.
Tell me why the curtains need to be drawn when no one is sleeping in the room?
I like to have a open view, no window covering in my livingroom.
Its a 3th floor appartement and same hight as the roofs of other houses.
Think I'd leave them open. You're not overlooked.
Why close the curtains in every room.. unless it's winter..??? Since it's at night are you keeping heat or cold in ? Or just like the curtains closed?
I don't close my guestrooms at night usually unless it's cold.. in which case I leave them closed in winter.. I just open living/kitchen curtains in winter for light ...
For security.
Why do you close curtains if no ones in the room? Is it to keep the draft out? Cold?
