Sunday Funday - Skulls and Stars


One of my favorite places to eat in Bankers Hill area of San Diego is Barrio Star.  Not just because the food is AMAZING (what I would do for a homemade corn tortilla with jalapeno butter right now) but because the décor and ambiance is super fun. 

I love the bright colors with the festive and eclectic décor.  The seating makes for easy movement throughout the restaurant.  The space is open yet intimate enough you aren't yelling to hear the person across the table from you.   You find the little details everywhere throughout the space allowing your eye to wander freely and excite your creative side.  Welp, at least mine. 
 
Here are some of my favorite details in the space.   I love the chairs with the Eiffel Tower style leg.  This was an original design by Charles Eames  The skull detail at the top of the light with the chandelier lights.  Some of the tables are covered in the a faux ostrich leather.  The star lights add a fun detail and help define the hostess check in.  The last picture is the underside of the lights.  When you look up you see all of the writing inside.
