Something Old, Something New....

Since I stayed at a B & B in London last summer that did an amazing job of mixing old and new, I've been working to have a mix in my house.  I love the unexpected acrylic chair next to an antique desk, or a modern light fixture in a more traditional room.  For me, decor is about having things you love and not following any rules when you put it all together.

To do or not to do...acrylic

I have to say that I am absolutely smitten with acrylic recently.  Of course I have no desire to have a house filled with it but I wouldn't mind a chair or two to add a bit of surprise to my decor.  In the house I stayed at in London, even the toilet seat was acrylic!  I just need to figure out where I would put them.  Any ideas?
