This house call came to us via Flickr. We are so glad that Elizabeth tagged her photos with "apartmenttherapychicago" so we could get a little peek inside her apartment which she's decorated with her vintage finds...
She clearly has an eye for good pieces - according to her notes, that wonderful mid-c dresser (photo 2, above) was a $50 craigslist find! The framed pieces are original 19th century bookplates (photo 4, above), picked up for $12 each at the Printer's Row Book Fair.
Thanks, Elizabeth!

$50 for that dresser?! Unfair. Please don't tell me what she paid for those chairs, I might cry.
Elizabeth, do you want to sell your Swag Leg Chair??
I have that same chair frame! It badly needs to be refinished. I had been eyeing it for a long time. It was just sitting in a neighbors yard, getting rained on and every trash night I'd walk by with my dog, hoping it would be out in the pile that day. And one day, it was! I was so excited, I brought it home immediately. Another neighbor gave me a crazy look, but it was so worth it. When I'm done with it, it will be amazing!
Love that dresser. And the bat prints!
Oh, Elizabeth! This is just the best! You have the eye and I love how you know how to place things in your home.... I want to come over! Lovely!
Absolutely love your bedside table
Thank you very much! Unfortunately, the Nelson chair is not for sale - I've had it my whole life (literally) and I am not ready to part with it. Other views with more information are up on my flickr site here:

What a cool idea to use old skis as shelves!
thanks for the link! i love your apartment.
Why would the bedroom picture be posted here? There is nothing special or cool about it...
disagree, sugarcake. comforter is gorgeous
elizabeth,
your home is beautiful!
i am in L-O-V-E with your comforter/duvet -
i'm not sure which one it is, but i'm sure that i love it!
it looks like it *might* be a modern addition? PLEASE
tell me it's a modern addition, and that i might be able
to find a matching one somewhere (so that i can be
just like you)?
I really got a kick out of this apartment. Everything is very tastefully done. It is sooo much fun to see other people's creativity. Great dresser, fun comforter, and lots of style!
