So I'm heading to St. Augustine, Florida next week to look at condos for sale. If the stars align correctly and luck is on my side, I'll find something affordable AND awesome! If not… well, it won't be the end of the world and we'll just keep looking.

While other people will be using it as well, Reesa and I are envisioning a tropical writing retreat. So the topic I'm throwing out there today is how would YOU decorate for a creative retreat? What inspires you when you're ready to start cranking out the art?

I love flamingoes… they're my collectible weakness… and since it IS Florida, obviously they have to be in the plan somewhere. I love tropical colors like turquoise and pale green and light pink. And coffee, I can't write without coffee! So turquoise walls with a mural of flamingoes drinking lattes and frappacinos under the palm trees? I actually kinda like this idea, but I think I might be vetoed. *grin*

Ideas? Suggestions? Thoughts? Support for my flamingo coffee shop mural??
