Personal Space: Rittenhouse Roost

Who: Kevin Derrick, interior designer and vendor of made-around-Philadelphia one-off art and furnishings via his e-shop, Shopkellydrive.com

What: A Georgian townhouse-turned-apartment living room that doubles as gallery for Derrick’s dandy to daring functional objets d’art

Where: South 21st Street, Rittenhouse Square

Why:

People have called my style 'bohemian splendor.'

The pink walls add levity to the black floor.

The chandelier, which I commissioned from Warren Muller is named Hey Sailor.

I converted vintage post-office boxes into a mobile bar by adding wheels and a starphire glass top.

To me, a good object is a good object, there is no hierarchy. You should love everything that you own.
