Hey there Sylvia,

The Thomas Paul fabric line is sold to the trade only through showrooms, so perhaps you could track down a designer friend who could order it for you through the Duralee showroom in Chicago. Good luck!

I agree with most above....nothing too AT about this place, starting with the fact that it is not an apartment. While I am sure it is a lovely home, doesn't seem like an appropriate feature for this website/blog.

Hello all! this is Allie writing in. So gald to hear that so many of you will get some good ideas and share in my love of delightful objects; Like my own use of Apartment Therapy, I hope my home will inspire others!

To answer a few questions/comments: I agree that it is a little difficult to get a sense of the larger sense of the space, the various perspectives in the spcae, and I think that simple floor plans for all the house tours is a superb idea! I did not take these photos, and though I might have done it differently, I thought AT did a great job! Their mission is to inspire and capture personality of a space they have never been in beofre or used themselves, so that is a great creative challenge, and I think they consistently deliver. So thank you AT!

Just to note: While I love Etsy, I have not yet purchased from it. I have only one lovely cat, Abbish. I do not know the neutral color on the walls, that was here, but the yellow color is specified in the text. I am required to cover 75% of my floors with rugs of some kind, and while I wish I could replace them all, alas, I am more excited about visiting New Hamshire for a week this summer, so no new rugs (and yes, that piece of tape is super unfortunate, huh!?!). And I am happy to report that the four and 1/2 years I have lived here is the longest in my entire life that I have ever come home to the same door! So, I guess my inclination is to "nest" and surround myself with the things that remind me of good friends, the beauty of the natural world, and the warmth of home and personal expression. I hope that every one's home feels that way to those that experience it.

Thank you all for your company! And thank you AT...this was really fun.

My weirdest is pretty out there: part of a cow spine....and a lovely piece of sculpture it is! I used in my gardyate studies to demonstrate architectural principles. Hmmm?
