Once in a while I'll shoot a space and become so enamored of it that I want to just hang out. Like, forever. This happened when I recently shot Rosa Beltran's office. She's a super talented Interior Designer/Decorator so she's got a one up on most of us. Not only is she naturally skilled in piecing together a space to make it functional and savvy but she's pretty crafty and gives great DIY charm to any project she tackles.

Name: Langston Clement
Location: Bella Vista, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Size: 925 square feet
Years lived in: 7 months; Rented

I first met Langston while I was working part-time at Hello Home and immediately, I was struck by how, well… likeable he was. He was somewhat quiet, but easygoing, with a sense of restrained energy bubbling just below the surface. Later, when J, the owner of Hello Home, opened his new store, Industry, he hired Langston to be the DJ for the grand opening. And it was there that I caught a glimpse of him in his element, rocking the house and as cheerful and engaging as ever.
