Remember this beautiful Edgewater Two Flat? We love the way they used Chinese window screens as a focal point on the wall, and we went searching for some in Chicago...

There are some right now at Lincoln Antique on Irving Park Rd. They are even a spicy red color. Yum.

We're a bit out of Chicago (2 hours southeast, in northern Indiana), but we have about 20 wonderful Chinese window screens. See our graberdesigns website at http://www.graberdesigns.com/Asian_Art/Asian_Antiques.
