Very enjoyable! Thank you so much Tom!! I could listen to you all day... Does anyone know what the name of the Hampton Bedroom scroll fabric used on bed hangings and Philly chair on left...? It's a pale slate blue floral scroll large block print on off white background. Not quite damask or jacobean...almost Asian or tropical? And can that pale green wall paint color be found on a historic chart somewhere? Love the hallway lighting; bell jar with smoke lids and the hurricane glass sconces - feast for the eyes! They really got it right at Winterthur. Hope to visit someday.
