    You are absolutely a gem for bring all of these spaces and Alberta to life. I just love you,Luke and his parents. I wish you would take the rug and make pillows from that also since it’s irreplaceable!

    Haven’t commented. Random pensioner who isn’t able to support your work. So incredibly moved by you bringing the house into the future without disrespect to the past custodians, so much of the past was lot because of careless custodians. Would that I had your archives. Badly kept for sure but still in existence.

    @Mapperton Live: I think there are UV blocking films that can be placed on your windows that would help prevent any further deterioration from sun bleaching.

    Finally, I discovered the secret behind your many great activities, as a day cannot have more than 24 hours. You have at least two twin sisters! One is living in Italy. One is travelling to wonderful historical places in GB, and you are making Mapperton great again! I wonder when we will be able to see the three of you together on a picture...

    Dearest loved ones at Mapperton, especially the design and building/restoration teams. Ex-pat living in Tx: I think it incredible what you've done and are doing to restore such a PRECIOUS estate. I know too well building restrictions on Grade I and Grade II listed buildings in UK and incurred expenses. You are not just restoring a very special building, but keeping specialist craftsmen and understanding, going! Enormously thankful!❤❤❤

    @Mapperton Live: You can still have book shelves below and to the right of the new found window or maybe move your desk over there. You may also want to consider placing some lights behind the window to simulate sunlight coming in.

    That Persian rug if cleaned could be cut up an turned into some lovely carpet bags. Extra special coming from the Manor.

You will be remembered and loved for all that you do now. Just imagine you are actually doing a lot of things at one time. Will be happy to see you launch your history book, book on restoration and renovation of period homes and lot more if u plan to author in the near future.

    Way to go Julie ! You never know what you find underneath the floor or behind a bookcase or under old plaster. The surprises that Mapperton Manor brings. Right ? I remember when my then husband and I bought our first home- it had a number of hidden issues that had to be addressed such as carpenter ants and found a small termite colony. It was all taken care of, now someone else owns the house and did some improvements with it.

    My father's mother born 1899 was named Alberta Mae Martin-Firmin. You have devoted so much to this woman's legacy. She would be so delighted to know her personal effects are being cherished. I didn't realize you had 4 children. I just love your green eyes and you look so healthy. Pretty lady yourself. I have a box of my grandmother Alberta's recipes. Have you compiled a book of your Alberta's recipes to sell like in a gift store?

    Hey from Evansville, IN! Julie, I don't know how much farther you have to go with archiving all the documents, but if you need another pair of eyes, I'd be happy to help. I've got plenty of time (too much actually) on my hands and a really good Mac book pro.
    As far as the roof to that room is concerned, I'd be doing the whole thing in that acrylic (of whatever that substance is). It's just a matter of time before there's another small hole, and then another.

    An outstanding job, Julie! The result is so beautiful and sophisticated. But the way there was so hard.
    It reminds me of when I cook: the process is long, difficult and messy, with loads of peelings and packing materials being disposed of and cooking ingredients creating piles, and so on. And the result is 2 or 3 nice and tasty dishes in pots and pans on the stove and a couple of salads on the nicely set table.

    Disagree that the rug is unrepairable. I had a roommate who repaired/refurbished Persian rugs and she fixed many like that. At the very least, find someone crafty who can make cushions out of it. I never realized back then we probably had $100,00s of Persian rugs in our apartment.
