apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

My backyard!

In a lakeside resort cottage my family owns and operates.

my rooftop (when it's not foggy in SF)!

the coffee shop down the street :)

The Beach!

The balcony. Gentle breeze, bit of sun, wifi, and coffee. bliss.

Free Internet at Panera, haven't had internet for 3 weeks this is now my new office.

Anywhere with free internet. Coffee shops are great, since I always work better with a little caffeine.

the playground! keeps my kids busy.

coffee shop!

By the pool in the backyard!

The Amtrak Acela train from Boston to New York. There's plenty of room, beer for sale, and stunning views of the Connecticut coastline when you want a break. There's no wifi, but sometimes that's an advantage. I wish they could keep that train moving at 125 mph, but it's still a pretty cool looking train.

my balcony

In San Francisco, there is free WiFi at AT&T Park. Nothing says "I'm working" like eating a hotdog, rooting for the Giants, and updating a spreadsheet.

Out on our porch! Love it!!

In my future courtyard! Our house is being built.

I love my patio and coffee shop, but I discovered that I can be productive at the park near my house...

At my campus library!

My deck

At my library

My balcony and sometimes the park down the street from my office.

Usually the most comfortable place is in the park, under a tree, in the shade.

My backyard

anywhere the mood strikes. usually anywhere but work

on the subway... only problem is that sometimes i'm so inside my head thinking or scribbling in my moleskin that i miss my stop!

The new neighborhood public library. So much brighter and airy than working from my cramped apartment.

I love working in the local coffee shop!

anywhere and everywhere i want, via iphone and molskine. i did some work at "beer island" at coney island last week.

If it's not a bazillion degrees outside here in Phoenix, I like to work outside but realistically I always find myself in the University Library

By the pond in front of my apartment. It's outdoors, pretty, and the squirrels will try to steal my stuff at no extra cost!

My parents' screened in porch with coffee and rolls, early in the morning as the deer walk by.

madison sq park, by the shake shack...tables and chairs, plus free wifi...haven't been there in awhile, but come springtime it's basically the best place in the world to be...until lunchhour, that is!

Used to be Cafeneo but they started charging for wifi. Now I bike to the Skokie Public Library - oppressive quiet and free wifi will help get any project done.

any place with free wifi and tables big enough to grade on.

in the backyard, under the umbrella, in view of my two Boston Terriers splashing in their kiddie pool.

Friend's beach house. Unlike my own house, there's a lot of natural sunlight with cushy chairs next to the windows. I can snuggle up on the couch and work while semi-watching people hang out in the backyard.

San Diego

In Golden Gate Park, right in front of the flower conservatory, on a warm day.

Nothing beats going to the park for some traditional pencil drawings before coming back home to work on the digital transformation.

a quiet coffee house with good food and coffee

Damn. I thought this was a purse.

anywhere outside where I can see mountains. oh how boring the midwest landscape can get.

on a porch - any porch will do.

A bench in the park, preferably in the shade

I love working at the local indie coffee shop - Flat Black Coffee Co. They have great staff, great atmosphere, and great coffee. They also have the best iced mochas you'll ever have in your entire life, but I won't spill their secret on how to make them here - you'll all just have to come to Boston and find out!

The patio at my parents' house.

my couch.

hate me if you must buuuut, starbucks. haha. dont judge me!

A shady porch.

The local park bench.

By the fountain in my apartment complex, with the sound of water and a cafe nearby its the best place.

backyard

I'm loyal to the 'bucks (Starbucks).

my neighbors roof!

the balcony with a cup of coffee!

i do love the starbucks (altho i don't like admitting it, it doubles my productivity!)...

I love to work in my house den!

At the library.

Somewhere nice & quiet...

By the pool

The tables on the Embarcadero facing the ferry building.

Double hammock in our fragrant garden (and procrastinating by watching the hummingbirds).

in the backyard!

My local mall has free internet access. The have tables set up and comfortable chairs. I can work for awhile and when I need a break can people watch or go get something to eat or drink.

numerous cafes around town

the porch

On my deck under the awning.

the patio in the sun

At the beach. I love going on vacation and while everyone is in the pool, doing work from my laptop. thank for this giveaway.

I would have to say the local park. It is nice and breezy and when you want a break, always great people watching!

The backyard is my favorite place; it's green and smells of flowers and helps me unwind enough to get the creative "juices" flowing.

This 13" KRINK Sleeve Macbook Sleeve is ultra cool! I use a 13" iBook (Older Apple Laptop I had rebuilt) when I am on the road this I can really use this KRINK Macbook Sleeve! My favorite place to work when I am not at home or in the office is a local coffee shop we have here in town called Moon Beams. It is a very hip and trendy coffee shop in heart of the art district in our downtown city and I find working there very motivating and inspiring because of all the unique and eclectic people that frequent the establishment. The hustle and bustle inside Moon Beams is very relaxing and gets my creative juices flowing so to speak! I also get a lot of ideas by watching the people and feeding off of the vibes that they send off while they are there.

In the back yard on the double swing with my laptop on my lap :)

At the park w/ my kids.

outside of my apartment near the pool.

I get the most work done on the long train rides from NY to Boston visiting family. Its quiet and I have 4 hours to crunch through everything I've been putting off.

I love to work at the Starbucks with my green tea late in hand. Then again my waist line is getting bigger and bigger as I indulge in some of my favorite treats that they offer.

I love to go to starbucks and have coffee while I work.

Local cafe at the beach!
Thanks :)

I love to work in my garden.

Anywhere but home or work is great for me. There is a great little coffee shop near my apartment that has free wireless which I enjoy.

At my pool.

In my big back yard with a cool drink!

any place with good coffee would be good, thank you for the contest.

my favorite place is starbucks - it's all about the coffee!

on an early, quiet morning, with a cup of coffee, in my backyard!

On my patio.

On my deck on a sunny day.

on the beach we can gwt wifi there now

I try to leave work at the office. My house is my sanctuary and I certainly wouldn't want to ruin a good day out by having to work!

Ditto the backyard comments.

Airports, coffee houses, Greek islands...

the backyard
THANK YOU GOD BLESS

outside

Anywhere there aren't loud noises, cell phones, cars, detritus of modern life, etc.

On the grass in the quad or on any grass.

I have a special place in my garage set up for me to go when I want to be alone, away from the 4 kids.

in the beautiful arboretum on the UCD campus!

I love to sit outside in the screened in porch in the cool evenings.

I like to sit at a picnic table in my local park.

On the pool deck. Thank you!

The Coffee Table in Silver Lake.

Anywhere with decent seating, wifi, and power. I'm not picky!

The back yard, as long as it's not too hot.

On my back patio overlooking the small lake.

My favorite place to work is the Gazebo in the back yard - very peaceful!

The shore for sure, thank you.

Probably in the backyard or library.

The park!

on the beach.

On the patio, with a cigar, when the temparature is over 75. Not so good if it's snowing, then any local coffeeshop with free wifi works best (hello, Panera).

On the beach in a sundress sitting on a sunchair with a cold iced tea and large brim hat. Mmmmm.

Out on our porch.

A good pastry and a smooth cup of coffee on my front porch or at the coffee shop not to far from home.

I like to work in my backyard. The birds are everywhere and the windchimes are soothing.
