American Style

The shaker style  of the American period really interested me. Values were very important and i think that is displayed in some of the designs. There were two of everything; one for men and one for women. They had separate entrances, stairways, dining tables, as well as sleeping quarters. the interiors were very clean and minimal.  the best known architecture from this time was the round barns. craftsmanship was also very important and can be seen in the furniture, like the ladder back chairs. This style is very simple and displayed the values and beliefs of the people.
