Peter Sheppard and Keith Day welcome us into Wolterton Hall, an 18th-century English country house in Norfolk, England. Both Peter & Keith have been steadily restoring and redecorating Wolterton Park since they bought the estate in 2016 - bringing the state rooms back to their original glory and creating beautiful, practical living spaces.
Watch the full episode of Design Notes as we tour Wolterton Hall and Peter & Keith explain how they live in the Palladian rooms of the piano nobile, from the State Bathroom with its alabaster-panelled bath to the Saloon that looks out on 500 acres of parkland.

@@benhassan11 No, it’s not. You’re looking for things to be angry about. Why not focus your energy on a real cause like helping the earthquake victims who could use your help instead of manufacturing problems where there are none. That’s asking too much of someone who is permanently affronted by every misdeed, real or imagined. Your hand- wringing is misguided and juvenile.

I deeply love and appreciate historic homes being restored and saved, I am doing one myself even though it's just our village's oldest farm, but I just can not see it derrelect. What an enormous labor of love and to keep it up there after, never mind just the electric bill. Beautiful job guys.

I remember being amazed at photos of Strawberry Hill in my Art History text in college. I'm so pleased to see this long abandoned home coming back to life. Peter and Keith have done a wonderful job restoring and maintaining the 'state rooms' in period style, while their private rooms reflect their own lifestyle. I love the idea of 'junk shop finds' next to fine art; I've done something of the sort as well. It does my heart good to learn that they have purchased the Walpole family portraits, library, and furniture, keeping these important historic collections in their original place, rather than auctioned off and scattered to the four winds. These tours are wonderful.

@tommoncrieff1154 Год назад

Do we really have to have serious art blurred out because it shows the human body? These gentlemen are highly cultured and sophisticated, this is a design, history and arts film, there nothing remotely indecent about their paintings. I assume this is RU-vid’s American Puritanism.

@stephenberesford4054 Год назад

Why were the brief glimpses of some of the few nude pictures and drawings blurred? There was a time - quite recently, actually - when civilised people laughed and scoffed at prudes and puritans who couldn't cope with an image of the naked body. To think that we have returned to the shame and censorship of a hundred years ago is an affront to anyone who cares about art - and I'm sure is especially grievous to the exceptionally creative custodians of this beautiful house.

One of my family’s ancestral homes in Ireland is now a refugee reception centre. My family sold it to an order of nuns in the 1920s before leaving Ireland for Africa. My twin brother now lives nearby and he took me there and we were allowed to see some of the reception rooms. Our family portraits from the early 1700s onwards covered the walls. It felt weirdly fitting.
