A polka dot chair, vintage table, and striped banquette....doesn't this look like the loveliest little spot to spend the mornings?

Good Morning
Welcome back! Ready for a new week?
Isn't this little space so lovely? I love the curves of the thonet bench, the large pink peony blooms, and the simple clean lined desk facing the large sunny window.
Good morning sunshine!
How lovely would it be to have a spot like this to get ready in the mornings?
Chandeliers and Rustic Tables
Two examples showcasing a beautiful combination of things I love: a rustic kitchen table, a crystal chandelier, and large windows allowing in abundant sunlight. Perfect for evoking a sense of relaxed glamour.
These are going in my dream home inspiration file :)
To Do Lists
Good morning! A brand new week and a fresh to-do list.
Are you a lists person? If yes, do you like writing them on paper or typing them on a digital device? I personally like a mix of both. For the day's to-do's I like writing things out in my Kate Spade planner {seen above} -it appeals to my tactile sense :) For long term to-do's I use the To Do List gadget on iGoogle and use multiple lists to separate out tasks by category. I love it's simplicity and ease of use, and have been using it for a while now. The only con for me is not being able to access it easily from my smartphone.
I'm currently trying out Springpad {which has an accompanying android and iphone app} to see if that might be a better alternative. So far, I like that I can create different notebooks (for separating things into categories: Personal, Business, etc.) and that I can access it from both my computer and through the phone app. What I don't like though is that I can't {or at least haven't figured out how to} sort tasks by high, medium or low priority. Have you tried it? What's your preferred method of managing your lists?
