Mandy Ma's "Father's Office" Laboratory Chic House Tour (Where Cats Sleep in Rat Cages and Beakers are Art)

Categories: Interior Decor

Mandy Ma is the creative, party-throwing, costume-wearing, cat-in-cage-putting cutie behind the blog Zippercut. By day she is a biochemist chemical engineer. By night she hosts tea parties at Culver City's Royal/T cafe. This is what her home looks like.

​This is Mandy's cat Kiko. Kiko crawls into that vintage rat cage (bought at Rose Bowl flea market) voluntarily. Cat in a rat cage. Irony.
