There are many wonderful benefits including extra behind the scenes content, live q&a’s, Mapperton branded gifts as well as emails and cards from Luke and me. You also get to join a community of wonderful like-minded people - we’ve made lots of new friends! The details are on the screen and in the description below, so please sign up - we look forward to seeing see you there!

I enjoy that Julie has kept her American accent and has embraced the British lifestyle. It's beautiful 😍 ❤ ♥

It’s not fully American, I think it’s shifted in the time she’s lived in Britain and she’s adopted some British word choices.

Plz don't change how you are. I fail to understand why people think it is okay to rudely suggest changes they require in others behaviour. You are both very funny. I love your honest interaction. It may be difficult but ignore those haters...even the ones who say...oh but I love your channel, after they have been insulting. Have a great week! Mapperton is doing so well under your direction.

@marychrishannon7048 2 года назад

They asked for us to reply with our thoughts. It wasn't RUDE of us to reply. I am not a HATER. I have trouble understanding the content when they talk over each other. Today was much easier for me. Perhaps I should ask you to not be RUDE to people with a different opinion than you.

YOU TWO ARE SOOOOOO CUTE AND I LOVE THE WAY YOU ARE TOGETHER !!!! IT WORKS !

Luke is very gentle, Julie a bit rushed and anxious to get on with it. It would be nice if she could just let him finish.

What a breath of fresh air you are. Simply enjoy the content.

@tiffinyharrington9307 2 года назад

I just love when Luke joins in and goes off on his own tangents😉 You’ve both accomplished so much in a relatively short amount of time. I’m very looking forward to the AGA episode, no matter which channel (though Luke has a point on it being part of Mapperton). I know I’ve heard you speak of your London home, so my question is how much time are you living at Mapperton? Do you both have other businesses/careers that keep you in London? Will you ever live full-time at Mapperton?

@larkmurry7808 2 года назад

Merci! You two are adorable together...

@stephaniemaloney4324 2 года назад

I once literally burst into tears at a home show when I rounded a corner ro find a cobalt blue AGA. I hope I live long enough to have one someday!

@lindaholquist7262 Месяц назад

I love the banter between Julie and Luke. It is so precious. Sometimes, I do wish that Luke would just reach over and gently cover her mouth so he can get his words in. 🤣

@deeannaschutz4049 2 года назад

I love how you two are with each other. You remind me of a younger version of my parents. Constantly teasing each other with so much love and laughter.

What an incredible 5 years!! I love hearing you both talking about your experiences! I think that both channels should do "Aga" shows!!!! I love your kitchen!!! The Sitting Room is both elegant and comfy looking.The restoration of the house and stables is remarkable!! It must have been an enormous amount of work.It's all so beautiful!! The "Tortoise House" and pool are really interesting. I look forward to see more of ideas come to life!!! Love from Vermont

@cathyann1601 2 года назад

The enormity of taking on the renovation of Mapperton boggles my mind! There are many people, that if they were presented with the necessity of such projects, would get hives and have a nervous breakdown. I'd probably be one of them. 😳 I admire the results you are achieving; simply beautiful! By the way, the folks producing your videos are very talented. They are so well done.

@cynthiaellis2358 2 года назад

I enjoy all of your episodes, but for some reason this one really struck my heart. I love how you have shared with us what you have done to your beautiful home. We now know what you go through to keep these lovely homes livable. I so enjoy when you share the interior of your lovely home. Just by listening to you two I can tell it is a a partnership of love for one another and love of your home. I am from the States and hope to visit your beautiful country. Thank you for what you are doing!

@carolehanrahan 2 года назад

I loved this vlog. I love seeing all of the different projects that have happened in order to update Mapperton without changing her basic fibre. It's not just a home, it's a business and a vital part of the community that surrounds it. You have so far managed to keep it fairly cozy for your family although I would also probably be wearing layers of clothing like Julie does. I love to be warm.

@dan92677 2 года назад

The two of you are absolutely entertaining in your give and take! Don't change, please. Thank you for bringing all of us along with you !!!

@jenjem5810 2 года назад

It is a landmark property. It's about preserve and restore. For 20 years I Worked at a Hotel which had a gorgeous ancient Ballroom. The intricate mosaic tile floors were carpeted over. The walls could not be touched. Not even to install wiring. Julie is so jubilant and elated making the little Italian house tailored to her own vision. The smallest item,she flits like a hummingbird to locate at the antique market.

@happygrandma5637 2 года назад

Aga's are so interesting. I remember years ago reading a romance novel and an Aga was mentioned. I couldn't find much about it at the time but now there is so much more info. One of the French Chateau vlogs I watch shows one being fixed and used for baking. I'd love to see a vlog on that. Keep up the good work you 2 (and all the support staff) it's an enjoyable watch.

@sandrabergquist1684 2 года назад

As a young bride, I visited my British husband's family home, which had the almighty Aga in the kitchen. I was asked if I could make some breakfast and then felt absolutely baffled, as they have no dials. With no idea of what I was doing, I managed to overcook the eggs, undercook the bacon, and felt like an absolute failure. After that, I requested a demonstration, and realized what a useful thing that was, also heated water for a bathroom. I've had enormous respect for them ever since.

I love your pulley - drying rack - I have one in my utlity room even in our 1980's house, and they're wonderful, never need to use a tumble drier! They were so common in the kitchens in tenement flats in Scotland - we put one back into our daughter's flat in Glasgow.

Another incredible journey of Mapperton. I may well require a lie down, after processing the time and expense incurred with these projects! : ) Don't change a thing with how you both are, individually and as a couple. I realize, perhaps for some, it's a "bit much" or disrespectful with the sometimes simultaneous banter but I know it's not that at all. I thoroughly enjoy it but understand there are those who don't. We all have varied ways of relating. I sense a deep bond, respect and love for each other. Thank you both (and the team) for a wonderful tour of Mapperton's progress since 2016

@rhondamartin3575 Год назад

You have quite the undertaking! You're doing a fabulous job! I enjoy listening to both of you! You always make me laugh! I have cold blood too, Julie!!! 😆 Then, what did I do? I married a Canadian where it's frigid cold and snowy all winter in Calgary!!! 🥶 I would love an Aga! I sometimes turn our kitchen stove on and just stand beside it!! 😆 We usually head South for the Winters, however. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures! Hugs!

@milkshake123abc 2 года назад

So fascinating. Home renovations in a middle class American home are annoying & costly. Can’t imagine how challenging it is for a huge manor home. That drying bar in the kitchen is genius. Never seen that anywhere before or in colonial American homes I’ve visited. Julie.. you need to buy Cuddle Duds underclothes to keep you warm. I use them in winter and they’re great. Not too bulky. Cold winters here in Pennsylvania and the office I worked in was freezing all winter. Helped tremendously.

@padraigbeag 2 года назад

Great content folks as usual and well thought out and planned restoration of the historical estate. On the word Lurgi (lurgy, plural lurgies). Meaning....a fictitious, highly infectious disease; often used in the phrase "the dreaded lurgi", sometimes as a reference to flu-like symptoms. Lurgi is a valid scrabble word.

Especially while raising four children and navigating a multi-generational situation. It can't be easy, but you're making it work. What an awsome, hard working team you are! ❤👏👏👏

@terris7842 2 года назад

For someone new to your chanel, this was great to learn the story so far. Thank you. I love how you both contribute in the discussion and your personalities really bring the Mapperton and Montague story to life as we get to know you and the family. The only thing I would say, is that sometimes it’s hard to understand what you are both trying to say when you both talk at once. I only mention it as I love your stories so much I don’t want to miss anything! I now follow Julie on American Viscountess too. You have a real talent as a presenter, Julie. I am so glad RU-vid brought your Chanel to my attention. Looking forward to following all your adventures in the future and wishing you (from Australia) continuing success. 🇦🇺😊
