inspired by downton abbey

i have a habit of reading the contributor bios of
every house beautiful i get. in the 02/12 issue,
miles redd mentioned his latest obsession –
the new season of downton abbey

though i love period drama pieces, i hadn't heard of it,
so i spent the next several evenings watching season 1
on netflix. i, too, am now completely obsessed.

it's no wonder they landed a golden globe for best
television mini-series.

the sets are ravishing; in particular, lady mary's bedroom.




the walls are papered in a red and cream print very similar to the 
design of this 18th century silk from
the world of ornament published by taschen.
