I walked into a coffee shop that I had always avoided because of its sterile appearance from the outside. Buy a sandwich, order a coffee, eyes wander as my credit card runs. I notice an interesting shelf design behind the counter housing featured products and price listings. Above the products a carefully selected collection of kitsch lives in each shelf section. I'm suspicious...do they really appreciate these gorgeously colored mid-century items or are they just being trendy? Cream and sweetener and a copy of the Stranger later, I enter the seating area. OMFG. The absolutely stunning sleek, minimalist, mid-century situation that is happening all around me has my heart beating faster and I haven't had a sip of my caffeine vessel yet. The matching actual vintage hanging lighting, wall decorations, vintage couch/coffee table in the corner, minimal items displayed on the sleek wall shelves... But that's not all. The newly constructed and slightly boring cafe tables are surrounded by schoolhouse chairs. Yes, those chairs. The creamed corn colored ones with seats and backs made of some indestructible material mounted on the chrome frames with the cross frame under the seat that your books wouldn't always balance on, but maybe. As I left my little sanctuary, I took time to notice more details as I walked out. Dreamy. Just dreamy. No. I'm not telling you where this is. You have to discover it for yourself. Enjoy.
