I agree with you until I start looking at old homes (which we’re doing right now) and you see teeny tiny bedrooms with no closets, single sink in the master bedroom, narrow steep stairs and low ceilings. Which leaves me liking old houses that have been gutted and updated!

You do need both- shade and sun because it depends on how you’re feeling and the weather.

Yes to all of these!! Especially the last picture. I wish I didn’t live in a cookie cutter home. I want to have one of those unique homes you find in an older neighborhood.

Shady spot: On my porch, on a lounge chair with the ceiling fan going

Sunny spot: In the pool!!!!

What is it about water that makes it so inspirational? I love being near it.

A Brooklyn apartment?! My gosh, that is one of the most literary places to be these days! 🙂

But I particularly love the ocean views. My Brooklyn apartment is so small, my writing space doubles as my dining room table. 🙂

I remember seeing a photo of Virginia Woolf’s writing desk which overlooked a beautiful garden and thought that seemed idyllic.

Ratty is all right if it’s comfortable. I had a couch like that and I loved it!

I’m a water freak as well. I love being near the ocean but will settle for a stream! Hopefully, we’ll all be getting some good weather before too long.

It is a bit exposed, right?! Not sure I could totally relax. Would be great for writing, though!
