Ways my loft is like Downton Abbey

we have a library

 

AND a small library - between a librarian and a booklover we have a lot of books

we have the complete, autographed, first edition works of an accomplished author

 



we have original artwork - "oliveyboo" by tc smith

we have a cottage on the estate

and we even have a staff - here we have our butler and footman displaying their gracious concern for our delicate lady skin.

 



we also have a gardener (thanks, mama!)

and dinner parties galore are our milieu. here we are right before we go through.

And lastly, and most importantly in my book, is that when faced with tough decisions (Where should the rug go? What should we have for supper? Should I have another glass of wine?) we always have a discussion and consult on what would Lady Sybil have wanted. Because we want to do what Lady Sybil would have wanted.

Currently we are looking for a new cook and scullery maid. And chauffer. And really we should have another footman - one can't do it all for heaven's sake. And a lady's maid. And some housemaids. And a dowager countess.

You know what? Forget it. I didn't say it was ALL like Downton Abbey.
