Inside An 18th-Century Grand English Manor House | Design Notes

These two gentlemen have breathed life back into that manor house in such a beautiful way. Bravo!

@@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.

@@susan3070 Susie, How about the British children who were brutally exploited when this monstrosity was built? Those children needed help as well. Where is your humanity? What has happened to you to have evolved to such low level?

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.

[@natashalindner2059]

We bought a cottage, not loved for many years and my husband convinced me we are the ones to bring it back to life. Well done to these guys for making this a grand home again.

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.

[@katrussell6819]

So many people try to imitate a palace inside of their homes. This really IS a palace. Glad you so lovingly restored it!

[@kaywallace6139]

I love the idea of putting the portraits all together in one room. Awesome job.😊

[@stevemiller7949]

It's always a thrill to see what happens when people love color, and have experience and confidence with what they do. There is no mistaking it.

I could easily watch a series were each room is an episode. The history, architecture, furniture, it’s all magnificent! But the way they tell the stories is absolutely captivating. Love what they have done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This is simply a magnificent manor! I can’t believe what you have done to bring it back to life. It looks like your family has been there for 300 yrs. My heart is pounding! I love all the family portraits put in one room together! So special! I love the symmetry, something very comforting about balance, soothing. It must be marvelous to live in such a simply stunning home! Brilliant !!!

[@christophermaulden733]

Stunned at all the beauty and amazing design skills and talent . Impeccable taste . I think I would primarily live in the main restroom ( the bathtub 🛀 ) , the magnificent library , the main bedroom , and the kitchen . I would rarely leave the library . It still astonishes me that some people are fortunate enough to actually live like this . Again , Impeccable style and taste . 💐

[@johnfitzpatrick6846]

Well done to you both. The house is absolutely beautiful.

[@stevemiller7949]

I love the yellow silk walls in the Palladian room. Such an antidote to the coldness that so many people have gotten conned into.

[@tinahooper7324]

Well done. The house is gorgeous. These thoroughly pleasant men have reclaimed a sad old house and turned it into a home.

[@maddiek1980]

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.

[@annsmith7207]

This has to be the most stunning and thoughtful restoration I have ever seen. The maintenance and upkeep monetarily must be ….well….challenging….. but they are so energized with it all that it does not seem to be a burden to them in the least. Wonderful! ✨👏✨👏✨👏✨👏✨👏✨👏✨👏

[@stephenberesford4054]

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.

My favorite room hands down is that gorgeous kitchen. Wow! The natural light is so perfect in that room, and that pale bluish gray color on the walls is delightful. Truly, everything about that room is pure perfection: elegant, subtle, minimalist, inviting, and ever so comforting and relaxing. I don't think I have ever seen an interior decor so perfectly realized to suit a room's intended purpose.
