The Bathrooms at the Barefoot Cafe

I’m meet­ing a friend at a sweet lit­tle cof­fee shop called the Bare­foot Cafe in San­ta Clara.

I sup­pose if I liked cof­fee I’d think this place was beyond words — but even with a dis­dain for the bev­er­age I admire the ambiance. For my Spring­field friends, it’s like the Mud­house of the Bay Area.

Any­way, I had to com­ment on their fab­u­lous bath­room dec­o­rat­ing idea. They paint­ed the whole bath­room with that black­board paint. There’s a big box of chalk next to the sink — doo­dling is encour­aged.

How awe­some is that?

I have to say that if I ever man­age a piece of prop­er­ty (a Chi Alpha house or a church or some­thing) that I’m going to give seri­ous thought to rip­ping off their idea.
