Deb says, "I never get bored with my writing space since my MacBook Pro let me move from my office, to our back deck, front porch, sofa or kitchen bar. If I need to escape the laundry or doorbell, I have a couple of favorite coffee shops where I like to write. If I'm not on the deck writing to the sound of the birds singing, I'm listening to movie soundtracks, which make great novel soundtracks."
Jenness says, "I'm jealous of all of those gorgeous covers! So cool. :-) Gorgeous room, Deb! Thanks for sharing!"
Now it's your turn: What do you like best about Deb's room?
I love the wall art, and hope to someday copy her decorating scheme! I also love that her MacBook lets her wander to a space that suits her mood!
ReplyDeleteI love that it looks so cozy but what I'm envious (and I know that's wrong. lol) of is how neat it is. Deb must really be organized! Can we have a workshop on that???
ReplyDeleteI love the love and warmth that generates from her writing areas. That same love and warmth shines in her books too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and cozy! Thanks for sharing, Deb!
Wow, is this a great concept. Fun and gorgeous inspiring wall. Thanks, Jenness.
ReplyDeleteI love the framed book covers, but I'm really curious as to what she keeps in that long file box on her desk!
ReplyDeleteThe card chandelier thing in the corner caught my attention first. Whatever it is, I love the idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting me, Jenness! I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI think I can answer all your questions with one answer: my office is so neat because those file boxes are all stuffed full of junk! ;)
Seriously, I admit to being kind of a neatnik. When I'm in the middle of a book, my desk is considerably messier. For photos of a messy desk, and info on that chandelier (my daddy made if for me!) check out this facebook album. (And if you're not already my FB friend, I'd love to hand out with you there!)

Oops! KNEW I should have proofed that better. That last sentence is HANG out with you (on facebook.)
ReplyDeleteOh, Deb, thanks so much for popping in! (And for the link for more pics. I checked out the chandelier and am thinking about finding your daddy. lol)
ReplyDeleteThis is my first chance to sit and relax today, but I just wanted to leave a comment. :) The first thing I noticed about Deb's writing space is the natural light that filters in through her curtained window. SO pretty! The colors, the neatly arranged frames, the greenery, everything. Oh, and the knowledge that her boxes are full like mine. :) Thanks for sharing, Deb!
ReplyDeleteDeb, I've had most all my covers framed. I still have a few waiting their turn.
ReplyDeleteThey are hanging in the living room, the den and the large bathroom.
