ABC Carpet & Home (888 Broadway at 19th St; 212-473-3000, abchome.com) The ikat pillows in Lindsley's bedroom are by Madeline Weinrib (great-granddaughter of ABC Carpet & Home founder Max Weinrib), who has an entire section of the store devoted to her wares. Lindsley cites the home-goods giant as one of his favorites.
International Garden (807 Sixth Ave at 28th St; 212-929-9418, internationalgarden.net) For the fresh-cut flowers he displays in his home, Lindsley heads to this high-end florist in the Flower District. "They have gorgeous flowers, not your little deli-shop flowers," he says.
Tufenkian (919 Third Ave between 55th and 56th Sts; 800-432-9917, tufenkiancarpets.com) The red wool-and-silk Tibetan rug in Lindsley's living room comes from this artisan carpet company, which has a showroom in Midtown East.
eBay.com Lindsley has sourced various knickknacks and decorative items from this reliable standby. "EBay is one of my favorites," he says. "I think you can do better by going on eBay than just going to Crate & Barrel—which I still do!"
