Apparently I've been watching too many movies and shows set in Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century England. (As if it was possible to watch too much of the genre!)
I watched "Wives and Daughters" again this summer, and I just finished the last season of "Jeeves and Wooster" yesterday-- I love it! And now I'm sort of even more obsessed than I already was with the culture and time period of England from 1800 or so to the 1930s.
(I've also become obsessed with Hugh Laurie, but that's a whole other story.)
Earlier this week I discovered the Universal Furniture website and fell in love with this formal dining room. It looks a little more impressive with the extra leaf and two more place settings, but I couldn't for the life of me get that picture off of their website. It reminds me of a modernish version of the sort of dining room that Emma Woodhouse or Bertie Wooster might have "luncheoned" in.
I have my doubts about it fitting in my first house, but somewhere down the line I envision it in the formal dining room of my gorgeous (but tasteful) mansion. I'll invite you over for dinner, and try to make the evening as unpretentious as possible. :)

I am waiting for a dinner invitation. Wow, that is absolutely beautiful! I am with you on loving all things from that time period. Sometimes I wish I had been born in Jane Austen's time period, but then I realize that had I been born then, I would probably have been a scullery maid, or something equally unromantic, so... I guess I am glad to live in the age of technology where we can appreciate the beautiful things of yesteryear.
Sweet, I'd love to be invited for dinner in a dining room like that! It's beautiful!
Mr. Darcy and I will stop by for a visit next time we're in the area. :) I love that time period too and am holding out for my own mansion and my own Mr. Darcy or Wentworth or actually anyone! haha!! Love it!
