Design Your Own Regency Room
One of the highlights of my visit to London last February was the Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum. I missed seeing the Thomas Hope exhibit by a little over a month. Ah, well. The V&A has such a thoroughly interesting website that I (almost) feel as if I'd seen it. Thomas Hope's book, Household Furniture and Decoration, was published in 1807. The black and white designs contained within it influenced the taste of a nation.

ReplyDeleteBut my favorate Austen movie for interior design would have to be Ang Lee's, Sense and Sensibility.

ReplyDeleteI agree that Ang Lee's interiors were exquisite. With the quality of lighting and use of angles and camera shots, the sets resembled Vermeer paintings.
