This might come as a surprise to some of you, but a few of you know that I am a huge fan of Downton Abbey on PBS. I was always into the more modern, contemporary side of art and design and History was probably my least favorite subject in school; but as I've gotten older my tastes have changed and I find myself gravitating more towards more vintage decor and design and am fascinated with the history.
Last year I visited my aunt in North Carolina and I describe that trip as an eye-opener for me. Not only because it was right in the middle of my divorce, but that's when I knew and understood that things really do happen for a reason and felt an overwhelming sense of peace. Then we went to The Biltmore Estate. I had always wanted to visit because of it's history, but it wasn't until I actually go there that I became so fascinated with the history behind it and wanted to learn everything about it. I had heard about Downton Abbey and wanted to watch it to see what all the fuss was about so I rented the first season from the library and immediately was hooked. In the next couple of weeks, I watched all 4 seasons before the 5th season started on PBS.
If you haven't seen this show, it starts out in 1912 when the sinking of the Titanic happens. It follows the story of the Crawley family and the future of their home (Downton Abbey) and the lives of their servants. If you're into history or just want to check out a new show, I highly recommend it. Before I actually watched it and before my trip to North Carolina, I probably would not have been as interested in it, but all it takes is one "eye-opener" to see things a little differently and I was hooked!
Thanks for stopping by my page and if you want to check out The Biltmore Estate, I linked it above and if you want to check out Downton Abbey, the new episodes are on Sunday nights at 9:00 p.m. on PBS.
