The French Period Discussion Post

 I visited my friend Dana's blog and noticed that she had taken interest in the French Regency. Dana found it interesting how only 30 years separated this transitional style from Regency to Rococo. She stated that even though the Regency period wasn't a long period of time, there were a lot of trends and pieces of furniture that effect the world of interior design today and also made a large impact on the Rococo period. 

My classmate Flor took interest in the neoclassic period of the French Renessiance. She noted that during this time the most iconic building build were the Chateaus or "castles" that had started off as hunting places or getaways for rulers and kings during the time. Simpler materials, less ornamentation and preference for symmetry were common during the neoclassic period.
