Great Design Elements - Local Coffee Shop

A few days ago my friend Lisa took me to a new coffee shop in Leesburg, Va. I don't know who designed the interior, but it had some amazing design elements in it, that I just couldn't resist photographing it. The style was industrial chic, and what I really loved was the use of so many of the original features of the building. For many years this place was an old shoe repair shop, as you can see by the original neon sign above!
These wonderful antique doors were a welcoming site as was the little dog bowl of water along the sidewalk!

My favorite feature was the fabulous shoe chandelier that you see above!! It's hung with antique shoes and boots of all shapes and sizes, and check out the awesome metal ceiling!


Not to be missed was this huge chalkboard, obviously quite popular with the regular patrons, judging by how well used it is!


These tin pails turned into ceilings light fixtures were just too clever!



These were the original shoe signs still hung in place near the counter.


I have to confess this chandelier was hanging in the ladies room, it was so cute, how could I not photograph it?!!

This is the awning out front. The name of the coffee shop is Shoes, Cup & Cork Club. You can click Here for their website. My friend Lisa tells me they have great coffee, I wouldn't know since I'm not a coffee drinker, but I did have a big chocolate chip cookie that was quite tasty. Next time I plan on trying one of their delicious sounding smoothies!
