Wednesday, July 28th, 2010Cafe De Stijl in San Francisco is one of my favorites
Tuesday, July 27th, 2010
Cafe de Stijl is tucked away, the service can be awful slow and the parking is through the roof expensive. Yet, I always go there when I’m in San Francisco because of the big bowls of lattes (reminds me of my morning coffee when I lived in France) and the artsy furniture. I keep forgetting who makes the furniture but I promised myself that one day I would commission the artist to make some for me.
I also liked their steamed eggs. As for the slowness, I just take it in stride and pretend that I’m really in a European bistro.
Update. Artist found! Randy Castellon. He’s a genius, check out many of his projects his gallery. Thanks to another talented designer, Nilus De Matran of Nilus Designs for letting me know!

Art in my house or, a funny little game that I made up. I have an old coffee jar in my bathroom. I printed out a bunch of words that I like on old scraps of paper that I couldn’t bear to throw away (pack rat or recycler, you decide).
Every morning, I dig through it and pull out a new word and place it in front. Yesterday it was “happenstance”. Great word, eh? But “bucolic”…that one just rolls off the tongue and I had to photograph it. Nice diversion when you’re doing bathroom time. I can’t believe that I’m actually divulging that, but hey, I like to prettify all aspects of life, even bathroom time.
