For heather77 and melAc, the paint in my place is Timid White from Benjamin Moore. And for songchilde, I found the white cabinet with the yellow doors at a thrift store in Chicago. There were no markings so I can't help you with the maker.

Hi Everyone…this is Dan the homeowner. I’ve been really enjoying the comments; thanks for all the feedback…and edgardo60 was right, there was no excuse for the crumbs on table; not sure how I missed that.

To answer some of your questions, the candelabra is made up of a bunch of individual Nagel candle holders that I found in a flea market in Cologne. They’re modular and can be stacked and arranged in an endless number of configurations. I’ve even seen them stacked high and wide enough to use as a Xmas tree. It’s pretty easy to find them on Ebay, but as they were originally manufactured in Germany, they’re more available and so way cheaper there! I found the dripless candles at A New Leaf in Chicago, but I think that size is pretty common.

The dresser in the bedroom is a Paul McCobb and I found that during a recent trip to Detroit. It’s missing the original pulls and I’d love to replace those if anyone has a source.

The red bench in the bedroom and the pink typewriter were both pulled from the trash when I was teaching at Northwestern University. I also found a handful of Eames Shell and Arm Chairs in the same haul. The bench was originally an ugly blue vinyl that I had beautifully upohlstered by Mark Roe at The Furniture Shop. The teak desk in the big space and the rolling record album carrier underneath come from David Carter at Pegboard Modern. The credenza in the living room is Modernica.

Unfortunately I don’t have a floor plan to post and the roof isn’t so attractive right now with several inches of piled snow. Come back in the summer and you’ll see what I’m talking about!

Thanks again everyone.
