{upstairs, downstairs}

Well, I'm certainly in Downton Abbey withdrawal, so I've been watching Upstairs, Downstairs. Originally a telly series in the 1970s, a new edition has come out, and is available on pbs here in the US.

{via behind the curtain}

So, actually not a copy of Downton Abbey,but a precursor... It's pretty good, but I'm finding that it skips between episodes a bit--so that you feel like you've missed something from episode to episode. The fashion & interiors are exceptionally good though...

{lovely exterior, typical of a  London home via the tattler}

{via little Augury}

{via austen prose}

{I can't stand her character, but I do love her hair}

{this & the one above, from austen prose}

{elegant drinks}

{via the guardian}

So some upstairs, downstairs inspiration: 

{via my modern met}

{elegant dining}

{via zsa zsa bellagio}

{light green walls}

{martinis & drinks are often being consumed on the show}

{via d*s}

{long silhouettes}

{some glitter}

{shimmer}

{& glamour}
