You know that feeling you get first thing in the morning, when you take a sip of hot coffee? Like the whole world could spin off balance and you wouldn't mind.
Lately I've been daydreaming about my coffeehouse. In my imaginary world, I find a perfectly-located two-story rectangular brick building with wood floors and big windows (a short sale plus the bank is willing to throw in closing costs). Also it has new bathroom fixtures.
Maybe like this:

Home upstairs, coffeehouse down. I've always wanted to live in a studio walk-up. What could be better than sliding out of bed, heading downstairs, starting up the coffee-makers, and wala! Open for business.
Or even better, something vintage:

The older the building, the more character. Not to mention the quirky corners! Plus I'd love to have garage doors. I could leave them open on sunny days and put tables just outside.

An old Engine House, perhaps? And if I had enough space, I could even rent out a couple rooms. Or have a boarding-house of sorts. With a wall for books - used and new, for sale and lending. And a garden on the rooftop, with daisies.
. . . maybe someday.
What a beautiful dream! Don't forget the added benefit of the endless fragrant streams of coffee scented air wafting into your adobe for a lifetime. Paradise!
ReplyDeleteOh how i wish this for you someday! I liked the 2 nd one best.
ReplyDeleteNew bathroom fixtures are a must!! Seems that our houses growing up always shape our future desires :)
ReplyDeleteI am still hoping that I can do that but with an art studio and gallery. It is good to dream and hopefully one day your dream will become a reality. Cheers, T. :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful dream don't ever ever give it up...
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait until this is a reality! :)
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you're open for business - this is a place I'd love to frequent!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait either! I hope everybody will come visit. And I'll have tea for those who crazy individuals who don't drink coffee.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely come visit! I love the garage doors, so charming! :).
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage with garage doors one! This coffeehouse is destined to be!
honey, i'm with ya.
ReplyDeleteyou had me hooked at the first paragraph.
i like the first and last pictures!!
the cute coffee shop here in town is kinda like that, though they use the upper for storage. :P i'd love to live in the top!!
gah.
i could dream all day.
and the painting job...choosing colors...let's not talk about how much paint is per gallon. ;)
You've got me with the paint thing. I spent an entire year painting and repainting my house. It was a horribly expensive hobby but I couldn't help it - I just had to see it in ALL THE COLORS.
ReplyDeleteYou could have a whole building to do whatever you want with it! That's pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteNice buildings too! My favorite is the bottom one. On hot days you could open up the big doors! Cool!
