I very much relate to what she says about "enjoying the benefits of technology, while not letting it dominate the room" (or life!). Modern styles do seem a bit cold and lifeless.
Our home is UK 1940/1950s. No TV and very relaxing. We buy from our local furniture revival and also have our mother's 1950s bedroom furniture, her dinner sets, cups and saucers etc which we use because to us they are delicate and beautiful compared to modern dinner sets. Rather than a house clearance we are upcycling her wall unit so that we can use it as a Welsh Dresser. We cannot afford to buy new and cannot afford a new kitchen, but we are upcycling that too. We upcycle so that we can live in the era we feel most at home.
What a beautiful video, I find myself coming back to watch it again and again, I identify with it so much. I hope Julia is well and happy! I think she is adorable! Gérard lacey in Ireland. X
What an amazing lady with an absolutely beautiful life! I wish I had the chance to live like this. I too despise the modern world and it's rushed attitude and so much technology! Enjoy your beautiful life my dear! I'm very happy for you. 🤗
She sounds so negative about everything... you can appreciate another era & be positive about what you enjoy while at the same time not talking smack about the current timeline. Honestly....
A prayer answered... Bless you for you have stated so eloquently what I carry within my heart and my mind... Julia... you have inspired me beyond measure and for that I am so thankful... a most grateful new subscriber ✨✨✨
I like her alot, especially how fearless she is to be herself. I detest the questions she had to answer. What do her relationships or ideas on having children have to do with this look at her lifestyle?? Ask her some interesting questions, not just fodder. She has alot to say.
Truth is we can't bring back the past...live totally the way it was,.......but.....we can create our own reality as Source Beings. I am not liking what the world has become, the disrespect for nature, for human life, for compassion towards others, for technology that has consumed the young. I don't find high rises appealing or boxed houses made with cheap materials. I don't even appreciate modern day mansions where everything is either grey or white inside and out. Quality is a thing of the past ...selfishness and greed consume human existance. Disconnect is everywhere and the need to be bigger and better than the guy next store is unacceptable. It was there in the past to some extent as well but the quality of life is gone, with more depressed youngsters, more suicide and more dislike for what we are now experiencing as our reality. Just a few thoughts..
Love you! Lol. But you absolutely Must put a beautiful burgundy velvet valance above your bed! I wish I could my rooms too small. I actually have a real 1890s set, but my rooms too small.
I think she's got a bit of a case of rose colored glasses. Edwardian England was polluted. The cities were overcrowded. Much of the population were in dire circumstances. Only the wealthy had 'nannies' and many people were living on bread and tea, hardly 'proper nutrition'. And as for men being gentlemen, I'll point out that martial rape was perfectly legal and the rates of sexual violence and other abuses were extremely high.
I love this. I agree with so much of this. But how does she work? How does she earn a living? How does she afford all those antiques and tailored clothings? I think she's wonderful. She takes the best of both today and yesterday. 🌹
What is it with all the nitpicking and judgments? Good Lord people...if you're watching this you must be interested in what she is doing and if you don't like it, want to call her historical accuracy into question or bemoan the fact she doesn't represent the poorer classes it seems to me you're just looking for reasons to be negative and then sharing that negativity with others.
May God bless her! She is adorable, beautiful and with great grace. My total admiration and respect to her. Prince Arthur Louis Pagan from the diplomatic residence for the House of Homestead
Love your work and dedication to the Edwardian lifestyle. If you read this message, perhaps we could have a direct email communication as I am in the process of creating a complete Edwardian complex in the USA. Prince Arthur Louis Pagan
