History Lesson

As interior designers, people sometimes get this crazy notion that we only do interiors and pick frilly trims.  This is so very WRONG!!  Here at KAID, we have been asked to do not only interiors, but landscaping, exterior architecture details, and even pool designs.  
Although there are experts in those fields, the same rules and elements hold true in design of any kind.  So to get to the point, I'd like to look at some of my favorite architectural styles throughout U.S. history!  Maybe it's because of the phenomenal buyer's market here in Dallas, but I've had the look-at-cool-houses bug lately.  There are so many home styles in this city, so let's brush up on some historical architecture.  Don't worry, no quiz afterwards...
