Oy, I’ve looked everywhere. (My husband thinks I’m obsessed.) Any chance you remember what store you might have found it at?

Oh, my, it’s been too long.. .I’m sorry but I don’t remember the wallpaper! Just two years ago I gave the leftovers to a friend for her dining room.

Jan,
I love the green wallpaper in the guest room/office. It’s amazing. Can you share your source?

Jan,
The pictures are amazing. Of course your house was always the most stylish on the block before but and now it is magazine worthy and I will never catch up! Instead of keeping up with the Jones, I have to work to keep up with the Parr-Tureks!

We liked the clean, crisp look. The rooms were inviting and stylish. The designers are to be congratulated.

The chair by the lamp is from Field’s (yes, when it was Field’s)–I believe Ralph Lauren
The other is a vintage Vante Mobler (Danish Modern) that Peter picked up at a sale many years ago. We had the leather restored by The Leather Solution at 6612 W. Irving Park.

Any home with an Eva Zeisel piece is fab in my book. But making Arts and Crafts feel truly fresh and modern? That’s an amazingly fabulous design feat.

I really like this warm, comfortable home. Just what you’d expect in an area like Oak Park.
