English Renaissance Reflections

I looked at Kristina's blog this week and she focused her discussion on the development within furniture design during this period.  She included a lot of pictures to help explain the different furniture and their design details.  Furniture transitioned from being built based on decoration to being built based on comfort.  Upholstery also became popular during this time.

I also read Jessica's blog post and she discussed the Neoclassic period.  This was a time of revival for classical design.  She blogged about 3 different houses, the Chiswick House, Lansdowne House, and Syon House, and explained their importance during that time period and their major characteristics representing the English Renaissance.
