Living Above The Restaurant
For Cresheim Cottage Cafe owner Donna Robb and her partner Lizza, there's not much seperation between work and home. They live in the apartment above the restaurant. The Inquirer just did a trend piece on them:
Now, Donna Robb can slip downstairs in her pajamas, before the restaurant opens, to repair a butcher-paper bracket in the kitchen. Spencer can flit through the dining room, delaying bedtime by saying goodnight to all the customers. And Lizza, a graphic designer who works from home, can find the ideal balance between solitude and company."We were intimidated by moving into such a small space," Lizza, 31, says after a quick tour of the family's living quarters: sitting room, master bedroom, Spencer's room (with the former wine closet converted to a sleeping nook), a tiny office and tinier kitchenette (previously a servers' station).
"Then we found we were actually small-space people, and we loved it. Also, Mount Airy was a great compromise between the city and outdoors. We knew this could be home."
