I gave myself the night off from writing up this week’s Loves post. I wasn’t being lazy, promise! I just needed to get some tidying and housework done. I popped in an old favorite of mine, Brideshead Revisited, and before I knew it the dusting and dishes were done and the laundry folded. And here I am with a few things to share afterall!
The Brideshead soundtrack is so lovely, but what I really love are all the rich greens and golds and mixture of Art Deco and English Manor styles. I’ve been on a bit of an art deco kick lately, maybe that’s why I needed to re-watch it tonight and the movie reminded me of some recent favorite photos:

Green and Gold In Paris (via Little Brown Pen)
A perfectly lovely green and black wash room (via Design*Sponge)
With my work finished, I poured some lemonade and caught up on my blog reading. I just love these posts:
Back in the USA about Katie’s trip to Sweden. I want to go there someday!
A belated Fourth of July post from Veronika. (You can’t have too many sparklers!)
And lastly, this hair how-to seems like the perfect thing for the crazy hot summer that this one has turned into!

Oh my word that bathroom! Love Art Deco style. Thank you for introducing me to Brideshead, too!
