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'm ashamed to admit
that 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; especially, 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 put out by taschen.



below are my downton abbey-inspired picks for the bedroom...or any room!
