Everything I love in one place. A distressed duck egg blue dresser,

I saw a lucite chair or also known as a ghost chair in a catalog the other day. It was in a nursery. Of course it was cute. Plastics are really not something I would think I could be into, but I do love these lovely examples below. Lucite is so fun! Maybe one of these will have a future with me someday...
