Hunt-Morgan House

I do agree that a large part of the design is through coordination of architectural elements, furnishings, wall colors, and objects. All of these things are important to represent the age of time in a house such as the Hunt-Morgan House. In that time period, generally the doorways or mantles in the dining room were painted the same color as the dishes that we used. This color was green here, as you can see. Also furniture and carpet can be very big giveaways on a time period as well. The patterns on the carpet and dishes show it. 

Obviously over time the sources of light changed due to advanced technology. Also an old fashioned bed warmer was necessary during this time period and now no longer is. There is a large contrast in the different types of patterns and textures as well which have changed over time. Color is also something, and is very aesthetically pleasing. Although we did not tour the Civil War exhibit, I see both bedrooms and the character they possess. The fireplace in the master bedroom had a pattern of line and shape, and I found it interesting they still have same bed that was there since the beginning. The daughter's room has changed overtime throughout the transfer of furniture and artwork on the wall. There is contrast in these rooms because of the new and old objects contained in each room.
