For the French period, I looked at Megan S' blog. I like how we talked about similar attributes of the French period, yet I learned some new things as well. She talked about the Salon de la familie and how it is a statement space and uses lots of bright colors and ornamentation. I also looked at Kristina M's blog. It was interesting how she started out by showing a picture from each of the styles during the French Period. It allowed me to see a difference yet a similarity between the bunch. I also learned that the Vaux-le-Vicomte was designed to test materials and design styles before the Palais de Versailles was built. Also, it was easy to see a difference in style from her Then and Now picture comparisons.
