It is really unfortunate that Barcelona is no where near Ottawa because I would LOVE to check out this restaurant in person (and maybe even try a burger while I’m there). Alex of Blanco Azabache Interiorismo thought we would like to share this latest project of his with you all. It is a burger joint called EL Quiosc. It is an old house in the center of the town of Mataró (Barcelona) that after abandoning the shoemaker who had his workshop there decided to rent my clients to transform into a gourmet burger, with a industrial retro aesthetics (4 rooms, entrance area + the childs playground). As an aficionado of all things industrial, I love what Alex has done with this space. Lots of rustic and industrial touches with a French and Spanish vibe make this a quirky yet fun and inviting restaurant. There are lots of elements I would love in my own home – from every bit of lighting and seating to the hanging terrariums and tile flooring (YES!).

Jo doesn’t need to twist my arm to take a day off. I have a million things on my to-do list (one of which I’m actually excited to tackle = making new vignettes with all of my Almonte shopping finds). So I hope you all have a lovely Good Friday, and I leave you with this beautiful photo of Granny’s house, captured by Jason Loucas.

I’m taking the day off today. I hope you are too Kim. It’s the start of the Easter holidays. A sombre day for some, the slowest day of the year for others and the start of a chocolate filled long weekend for yet more. I had to drop in and share at least one beautiful picture though. I couldn’t help myself. Something to tie you over until tomorrow. I love this room. I love this photograph. I found it in the amazing portfolio of the photographer duo Floto+Warner.
Enjoy some eye candy via some beautiful spaces impeccably captured by San Francisco photographer Ed Ritger. Items to note: the chairs above – cool idea to paint just the part above table level, and the nooses for bathtub toiletries is pretty damn creative.
