lizzy janssen is an amazing artist, has great style, and is just an awesome person- so its no surprise that her home (in fishtown, philadelphia) is a reflection of all those things. lizzy describes it as somewhere in the early american, meets 1950’s housewife, meets mid-century modern neighborhood :) another fun fact – it was designed by our creative director, who lives here!
i’m completely in love with her place…the exposed brick, the spiral staircase, the amazing bathroom and her adorable cat arlo in the above picture (named after arlo guthrie).
most of the stuff lizzy has decorated her place with – the furniture, paintings and figurines – was found at thrift stores, garage sales, and sometimes even on the curb! her favorite thrift stores in philly are germantown thrift and three potato four, in manayunk.
here’s a quick little interview with lizzy, and check out more photos of her sweet place in the slideshow below!

OH MY IT IS THE PERFECT APARTMENT!
. . . Sorry, didn’t mean to take your head off. This is exactly the type of building I have always wanted to live in. Someday I’m going to. I especially love the loft and the winding staircase.
I’m so jealous right now.

My goodness this is the dream home! That split level looks incredible!
Love all the kitty inspiration :)
Ugh..I’m really, really getting tired of the boxy shirts and oversized dollman sleeves. I like a loose fit, but sometimes the clothes just look misshapen, irregular, and incredibly unflattering. FP clothes are gorgeous, but it can be dissapointing going to the store- it’s frustrating to see a really pretty, interesting, or intricate top that is overshadowed and ruined by being obnoxiously wide and short. When I spend a lot of money on a piece of clothing, I prefer it to be unique but still timeless and classic enough in its fit to make it something I’ll get good wear out of. Loose and casual is nice, but there’s nothing chic or effortless about an awkward, boxy shape.
Oops- I meant to write that comment on a different post (the one about oversized tops). Well now I feel silly. For the record, I think this home’s interior design is really pretty, smart, and cozy!
such a beautiful home!!

Being a graphic designer myself, and Loving ALL things old and vintage.. this post is not only inspiring but just a breathe of fresh air to see :).

Great post free people, i love you blog and only could dream to work for you some day.
