As far as online relationships go, you’re basically BFFs. You kill time together on your lunch hour, and when anything’s out of your own DIY dexterity, Etsy’s got your back .

Now it’s time for an IRL encounter. And what more perfect location than Prahran’s equally idiosyncratic Art Series Hotel?

This April Etsy.com is checking into The Cullen for two weeks of retail, local design, art, and luxury. In preparation the hotel’s Junior Penthouse suite will be tricked out in a selection of handmade and vintage homewares from local artisans, curated and styled by creative aces Marsha Golemac and Brooke Holm. That’s one stylish staycation.

Prefer to take things slow? Skip the sleepover and head to The Cullen on April 11th for a room tour before logging onto Etsy to stake your claim on your favourite goods.  

Who said shopping wasn’t intimate anymore?
