restaurants
A friend from college sent me a message this weekend with this photo attached:
She said it reminded her of something I would like.
UMMMM … yes. I love it. Thanks Amanda.
Look at this amazing space.
Those shutters are brilliant. And I love the softness of the tall curtains.
And the tufted benches.
And the enormous light fixtures.
The restaurant is Ella Dining Room & Bar in Sacramento. It looks fabulous and I do hope to meet up with my sweet friend there someday.

There is a bistro in our little town that has a similar design but they used antique doors instead of shutters. They make up a whole wall and it is quite impressive.

That is so well done. I love all the character that the shutters add to the space. Thanks for sharing!

Oooooooh! You featured my iphone picture! I’m feeling rather celebrity-esque at the moment!
Well, Vanessa and I are both nearby…so I guess the burden is on you to make it out here!
