Decorating your habitat and need to get inspired? Peek inside the men’s restroom (oh go ahead) at the Fabric Workshop and Museum, and get a glimpse into artist Virgil Marti’s past. Marti blew up yearbook pictures of seventh-grade bullies from the seventies to produce fluorescent wallpaper that’s both comical and creepy. It might inspire you to revive childhood memories for the decorations in your domicile. Let’s just hope your memories are of the more calming variety.

And get there quickly… the Fabric Workshop will have to relocate when the Convention Center expands.

About the Blogger

Age: 27 Neighborhood: Rittenhouse Square I’m a native Delawarian-turned-Baltimorian-turned-Philadelphian, where I’ve been since 2003 and where I’ll stay hopefully forevermore. I’ve got an affinity for local designers, tap dancing, rescued kittens, Sundays in the park, Hefeweizen, my ultimate nephew, vintage heels, legal mp3 downloads, cheese plates and the written word. I work at GPTMC, getting Philadelphia news out there to the national media. I post on uwishunu when I find something I really love. You can reach me at caroline (AT) uwishunu.com.

I wonder if Alexis and all of the kids that made me leave Alapocas basketball camp two days early are on that wall. I like your new skin, uwishunu!

The bathroom at A Full Plate Cafe in Northern Libs may not be inspirational, but it’s definitely fun. Forget the wallpaper or paint, the walls are covered with chalk boards. That means you can graffiti all you want and still keep your record clean.
