redecorating

Posted by Elissa on September 22, 1997 at 03:20:18:

Suppose a girl wanted to clean up her new house in Regency times and the house was an old estate, say early seventeen hundreds. Would she be more likely to restorethe look of that time or completely redo the place in the latest Regency style? And by the way, does anyone know where I can get a look at the building techniques used in the early 1800's? on the web that is.
