Introducing Shauna Alterio & Stephen Loidolt of Something’s Hiding In Here…

Oh my oh my oh my my my… While there’s a certain femininity to the DIY wunderduo’s flat, you just can’t escape the notion that there’s quite a deliberate helping of machismo as well. A pastel color pastiche is offset by the presence of seemingly endless light-grade wooden construction/renovation. A lad and lady live here, for sure, and both wickedly smart, of good humor and above all else, supremely creative artist-individuals too.

But what else would you expect from a pair that makes hand-carved mustaches, 3-pack plastic wishbone gift sets and paint-by-number state wall art via their Etsy shop? Yes, I said all those things. Mustaches, even. But don’t leave yet! There’s more here still… The lovely puppy pic and bolster logs are quite the hit for me and you, I’m sure. But doesn’t it just kill you to know this is their bathroom? And with a faux-finished handmade cubby wall too??! *Swoon* Even the animal figures (of which lately I’m rather tired) somehow gain new life in the DIY headboard of a vintage wallpaper reverie. How very neat.

Truth be told, the geranium lamb planters, hobbled Queen Anne’s and thrift-store framed children’s books somehow each manage a quiet sensibility here that would otherwise prove fatal in a less-curated home. That’s design charisma, folks and these kids have it in excess.

While I could elaborate on the many dances in which their studio decor takes part, I’m afraid my time is up, dear reader. Please take it upon yourself to visit the many addresses of Something’s Hiding In Here at Flickr, Typepad or Etsy and find something for your space and of your very own…
