# Where the two fight
# - Roughly 180 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Minimalism: Missing information is not minimal. Decide priorities before you cut.
# - Shaker Design: Copying the plain shapes while lowering the standard of joinery and finish yields cheap furniture without the belief behind it, reading as poor rather than modest.
