Feed the Soul

So I've been thinking about the diner I'd like to open a lot lately, and it occurred to me that I should probably write some of it down. I'll start here mostly just because I don't feel like getting up to get my notebook to write it all down, although I'll do it eventually.

So basically the main idea behind this diner is feeding the soul, and it would probably end up being a diner/art studio/gallery (and bakery if Sarajo decides to get in on it too.) Artwork on the walls, random and bright colored dishes, crazy themes for the tables & booths, and just a real homey kind of feel to the place. A couple months ago I found these super adorable piggy banks at Target, there were some that had polka dots, some plaid ones, etc etc, and it got me thinking. What if I took the piggy banks and cut a larger hole in the top to make napkin holders? And ooh, there's some neat lamps over there, each booth or table could have a theme and a corresponding lamp & napkin holder! BRILLIANT! Basically this diner would be a never-ending trip through my ADHD "MUST HAVE ALL THE COOL PRETTY COLORFUL THINGS" brain, and hopefully would achieve a fun atmosphere.

I think I'd like to name it Food for the Soul. or something like that.
