Tiff & Lauren
One thing is for sure, when Tiffany and Lauren moved into their classic Philly row on 8th Street, they knew they needed to add some color to truly make it their own. With bright, vibrant colors, fun accents and décor to match, this house quickly became home. From hosting dinner parties, to watching their two pups and cat play, to Italian Market hauls, to Whitney Houston dance parties. This is the story of 1201 South 8th Street.
