share your studio

[natiwata]

Since I couldn't build a studio (I rent) and don't have an extra room, I decided to make a corner of my bedroom into a workspace. I built a corner space out, buying cedar planks at Home Depot and mounting them to the walls after weathering and sanding them to look more rustic. It's much nicer to work in my bedroom now!

Fun to see everyone's workspaces!

Just updated the photos from my original shared studio post (didn't realize the "old studio" pics didn't load). Still miss that joint.

I took a picture right now from where I'm sitting. my studio is jam packed with my printmaking equipment, and my kids roam in here leaving me gifts and have taken over most of the table you see on the bottom right.

And....we are practically done! A few details here and there, but the new studio is now finished and operative. What happened is that we have taken a long hard look at our life and work habits, and this brought us to the decision to convert the largest room in the house (about 430 sqf, 40 sqm) into a family studio. The classical "living room" (couch, tables, television) which was there before was almost never used, so we reclaimed the space for a different use and transformed instead my former smaller studio space into an "entertainment" room, with lots of large floor pillows, television and music. This may seem unconventional to most, but the truth is I work best when I am not alone (I love open plan offices, for example), and when I can feel life and buzz around me. I was like that since I was a child (I used to do my homework in the living room with the television blasting and my Mum doing chores). It does not matter how many people are around, as long as they are not talking directly to me....and they mostly comply
I am very happy about how this turned out (we all are!) - the working environment has made a huge quality step for me (even though I liked my old studio too).

@smceccarelli It looks great! Very nice style, light and spacious It's lovely that you've found a way to maximise the space in your house..sometimes it can take a bit of time to work out how to do that and even if it's unconventional, whatever helps you get the best out of your time, is the best for you Also it's good that you have planned out plenty of space to extend your book collection
