It seems we share the same dream of our own private space in our next home. Oh how I long for a room (that is not my bedroom) that I can walk into, close the door, and let out a long, contented sigh of satisfaction. And like you, surrounded by all things girly.
I've done a bit of writing at the public library (which I enjoyed) but at the moment I do my best writing in the early morning hours when the rest of the family is still asleep. I'll plop down on my comfy, oversized couch, curl my legs beneath me with a fresh cup of piping hot coffe next to me. Ahh...bliss.

Great post, Franki!

Cathleen, lately my perch of choice is the kitchen table... its not ideal, but it saves me tons of time. I have this fantasy of sitting outside on our furniture enjoying the breeze and the sun... but its just a fantasy. On the occasion that I do venture out to try it, the suns too bright without shades, and I cant see the screen as well with the sunglasses pulled down. Ten minutes later Im hunched over and hot, so I teeter back inside and land myself at the table once again... peeking out at the patio thinking I should be out there. LOL.

I do know the solution, however: poolhouse or cabana. Complete with my own staff, trickling fountains and someone to bring me my bottles of Evian. Ahh, sweet goals. Where would I be without them? ;)

I am right there with you, girls! Right now, my writing space is on the sofa in the living room of my incredibly small apartment. I long for a proper desk, balancing the laptop on my lap has grown old. I also require a stereo system where I can play jazzy music without lyrics so I won't be distracted, a plush carpet underneath my tootsies and a view of the water. A deep blue pool will do nicely;-)

Here is our post of my multitasking office space. http://dovecotedecor.blogspot.com/2010/06/organizing-your-move.html
It functions perfectly!

I'm a "squeeze it in between meetings & phone calls" blogger, but honestly it is during sleepless nights or the verge of slumber that I feel the most wordy & creative. Words & thoughts spin together, weaving beautiful posts in my head, but I'm usually too tired to turn on my computer or grab a pen to capture those profound moments.

Anne, you definitely need a sketchbook pen by your bed. I am usually one to solve big problems in my head. If Im desperately seeking a solution I usually wake up with the best answer. Without my trusty notebook those would never be recalled come morning!

your dream blogging nook sounds positively divine. i love the inspiration.

cutest post. all those desks are divine! I was thinking I must be so naughty for my pulpit of choice (between meetings. definitely an office blogger. don't tell my boss) but I feel so much better than it's prevalent enough to be included in your categories. Write on, bloggers! :)

I have a feeling if I had an office as adorable as these, I'd be daydreaming instead of working!

In my old fourth floor apartment, my perfect writing spot was a huge window sill in our living room that overlooked the city. I wish I had that same cozy place now, but having my bed next to a window is a good runner up.

These offices are amazing, btw. I tried picking my favorite, but it's just impossible. I love them all.

I used to think I did my best writing with a pen and a notebook sitting in bed, but that has changed since I began blogging. That was more of a "let me hurry up and write this paper for my class" kind of writing in college.

Now I love my little office nook that holds my laptop and necessary girly accessories. That's where it all comes together. Love your blog by the way, just found it over at Fabulous K. I'll be following ;)
