My Apartment in Brooklyn

Remember my Creative Cubicle back in California? As great as that space was, this new work area in my small studio apartment has grown a special place in my heart. As long as I have with me my supplies, printer/scanner, laptop, flowers, and a good amount of desk space, life is golden. 
  What I especially love is the direction my desk faces— the glorious window. I never made this simple arrangement in my previous rooms and homes. What the crazy?! Where have I gone wrong? Because it's totally awesome. 
Take a look at the view (from my desk :) It started snowing today in what is still the month of October! It's been falling quite aggressively for about the 6th hour now.
I invited my friends Emily Malan and Anna Topuriya over for some warm banana chocolate chip pancakes and coffee (photo by Emily). They arrived cold from the freezing weather with wet socks :(, but the rest of our afternoon was toasty and lovely!
Here's an imaginary desk space I made up.  It made me wonder about my future home and the ideal desk space I may someday invest in. Exciting!

Your work station has such a nice ambiance. That kind of environment can allow one to work without feeling stressed. I wish I had that in my apartment - a smaller version would be fine.

Your Brooklyn apartment is simple yet chic. And the view of the snowy white winter from your window is just fantastic. I'd love to have an apartment just like that. It looks so cozy!

Debera,
Thanks so much! Yes, I've been realizing more and more how grateful I am to be living in this apartment. I don't want to take it for granted :)

You have an awesome space! I've always wanted have an apartment of my own to celebrate my independence. It looks like your having a blast spending time in yours. Hehe! Anyway, I love the design of your imaginary desk space. It's messy, but it still looks good.
