Last night I was under pressure. I searched high and low for a special home tour. One that would end the blog week on an inspiring high. And then, just as I was about to give-up, this place showed up. It was everything I was looking for: packed with personality, unique, and inspiring. It’s also in a city close to my heart, Philadelphia – where I spent a year in my teens (I still miss those cheese steaks!). Looking at this incredible loft, I’m wondering why I left? Could I really have lived in a 2400 square feet (222 square metres) Northern Liberties loft like ?! Maybe not, word on the street is these rentals in a former textile factory are hard to come by. But I am delighted to see this space has fallen into the right hands. Liz, who works at Philly’s number one second hand store , has ensured there’s something fascinating to look at at every turn: from the ‘hand’ chair and mannequin sculptures to the art, plants and vast array of wonderful vintage finds. I’ll say no more, just leave you to enjoy the tour. Happy Friday friends!
Wow. Just wow! This totally brings out the wannabe artist in me (you know, the one wearing paint splattered dungarees with a scarf in my hair working from my own ceramics atelier in Österlen!). One day, one day!
For now though, I’ll settle for admiring the fabulously quirky and delicious second hand pieces in Liz’s loft. The chairs, the mannequins / sculptures, the paintings, the vintage finds. It’s a complete feast for the eyes.
Anyone else feeling a tad inspired?!
If you’d like to see more of Liz’s home check out her instagram feed for daily updates (she’s so funny too!).
And for more creative spaces this weekend I love:
Have a happy weekend everyone!

PS Just heading to Copenhagen for a meeting with Skandinavisk – exciting! I might have to treat myself to an after work (or “AW” as they call it in Sweden) by the canal. I’m looking forward to it already! Are you up to anything fun this weekend?
PPS If you haven’t filled out yet, I’d be so happy if you could take a mo to look at. Thank you!
