Mara Zepeda house tour
Design Sponge has a tour of Philadelphia Weekly contributor and calligrapher Mara Zepeda’s (dude, I remember fact-checking her stuff back in my PW intern days!) pretty Powelton Village house, proving that a freelance writer/artist and a grad student can totally put together a really beautiful home despite having the budget of a freelance writer/artist and a grad student. Lady’s got a lot of art I would like to get my hands on, that is for sure.
Wrap your giant creepy bunny presents in this
Really liking the idea of these new wrapping papers from the drawing board of Shauna Alterio and Stephen Loidolt, who comprise Philly’s design duo Something’s Hiding in Here. We’ve mentioned them before for their mustaches…
Incidentally, the couple was recently featured on Etsy’s new home tour video series, “There’s No Place Like Here…” giving the internet a look at their enviable renovated Philly loft space. Including their globe collection.
Here’s the video…
I was sure I’d seen that globe collection somewhere before, and indeed, the couple’s digs had been featured on Design Sponge, ReadyMade Magazine, Apartment Therapy Chicago and other big-traffic blogs.
But I’m confused, Apartment Therapy thinks they’re from Pittsburgh? It’s clearly the same space, and that issue didn’t come out too long ago… ah well, write it off to out-of-staters.
