Redefining Normal ...

I love the idea of taking something so standard and run of the mill and giving it a fresh, new take like this dry cleaners in Brentwood, CA. Chris Barrett Design is responsible for redefining an otherwise drab atmosphere into something that I would actually look forward to visiting each morning. Now if only Chris Barrett could redefine the decor of post offices and the DMV we'd all be in good shape!

I'll Meet You There ...

Just read about the Soho House in California Style magazine. It's a new restaurant in West Hollywood set at the top of a 14 story building. I can't get over how amazing the olive trees and wooden lanterns look together. Such an inviting atmosphere. I imagine it looks great at night too with the trees lit up. The different chairs at different tables is kind of charming too.
