Rise & Shine! It's time to get the day started. How do you start your mornings?⁠
⁠
Here is how I start each workday. First I fix a cappuccino from my machine...which I can not live without. FYI, I still need to learn how to make decorative patterns on top of the froth like a real barista but until then cinnamon and sugar will work. Then I head to my office. It is about 20 feet from the kitchen so the commute is a breeze. I open my daily planner from and list my tasks to complete for the day and schedule my day. Then it is over to my Mac to reply to emails. From there I'm off and running for the day.

I've really been loving Arteriors lighting and home decor products these days. Their use of mixed metals, organic form and modern simplicity inspires me to push the edge of my own projects.
