As Linda indicated yesterday "the new makes the old look older" - which is what I really love. I like something pristine beside something old.
Many times the collection begins with a special memory of a favorite relative, activity or place you cherished when you were growing up. Aprons, buttons, pretty dishes, old bottles, books, hats, jewelry are just a few of the things resonate with me. Personalizing the house can easily be accomplished with accessories and vignettes.
Make sure when you put your things together you have visual interest with the lamps, pictures, and accessories.
Take your color palette and soften it in some rooms and punch it up in others.
