The Sicilian Table… part one.

.

A sister restaurant of our go to favorite place opened recently in Falmouth and I’ve been dying to check it out.

So on a sunny late afternoon last week, we did just that.

.

.

Welcome to the Sicilian Table.

.

.

Like our favorite restaurant, no expense was spared when it came to interior design.

.

.

It was bright and cheerful with lots of wood, stone, rattan and soothing neutral colors.

.

.

It was a good sized two floor space, but offered many intimate seating choices.

.

.

Did I mention there were giant artsy fartsy fish flying overhead?

.

.

These bold beauties were hung here and there and were dramatic to say the least.

.

.

I’m guessing this lighting is meant to pay homage to Maine’s coastal lifestyle by imitating jellyfish…

.

.

This oddly placed ceramic tile wonder … yes, if you zoom in you can see they’re all individual pieces… led to the rest rooms.

And while it was a lovely restaurant inside, the location they chose struck me as odd. While it’s sister sits on the water, this place is the bottom two floors of a law office building smack on Route 1… the busiest coastal route in the state. Falmouth is a wealthy town with multi million dollar estates on the shore. This pricey restaurant will do well, but it would have been nice to have a better view from its windows than the parking of the strip mall it sits in front of.

To be continued…

.

Interior design fails.

.

Have you ever driven by a house and thought… I bet the owners designed that themselves. Most people don’t have an architect’s eye…. and if the following photos are any judge? They don’t have interior decorating skills either.

.

.

And look, they even mounted it on a rock.

😳

.

.

I can conceive of no floor plan that makes this a good idea. And if the toilet is where you get your inspiration? I’m not humming your tune.

.

.

I can’t even….

.

.

Sorry, but this last one is absolutely something my husband would do. And the sad thing is…. he’d think it was a great idea.

.

Interior design fails.

.

Have you ever walked into a house or apartment and thought, “Who the hell designed this mess?”

If not, then take a look at these…

.

.

I’m guessing clean clothes would always be on hand, but… no.

.

.

I am.

It’s hideous.

.

.

I shouldn’t laugh at this, I’ve seen my husband do something very similar.

.

.

Yikes. That’s going to be a tight fit…

.

.

Finally, a situation where female personal plumbing is preferable.
