CHASTLETON

Part of BBC's At Home with the Georgians, this amazing Missoni-like carpet covers the walls of an early bedroom closet at Chastleton House, built in 1612 for a wool merchant. Never renovated, the descendants lived there until 1991, preserving nearly 400 years in one house. The bottom still was taken en route to the bedroom in what seems to be a glorified hallway; love the intensely paneled walls, arch ceiling, and wood floors.
