Coffee Corner — inspiration

Where you work must inspire you. You must work only in one designated area. You must have the proper lighting and seating and everything else, otherwise you cannot work there.     Or does it? I have many places that I work all around my house. Some more inspiring than others. The only thing they all have in common, is being comfortable. My office is filled with colours and textures that I love, and make me feel inspired. I need pretty and relaxing and organized (chaotic organization) to be the most productive…. But, as I am writing this, I am...
