A couple of years ago my studio was a small, cramped room with wood panelling. While it served me well for about five years, it was so tiny that I could never do much in the way of decorating. I had to keep most of the toys, figures and art that I received from my friends boxed up in a closet until I had the space to properly display everything. So when I moved to a bigger home I did just that. My current workspace is now a much larger downstairs room.
There’s a lot to love about this space. It’s long enough that I can designate half the room to work and the other half to play. It can accommodate my ridiculous amount of art, toys and books that I’ve collected over the years. South-east facing windows means there’s a fair amount of natural light coming in during the day, which is when I get most of my work done. I can finally grow some low-maintenance plants. Floating shelves enable me to make the best of this space as well as keep most of the collectibles away from my two-year old son. However, he only seems interested in the Gumby figures that are within his reach. Thankfully, I don't have a cat otherwise this setup might be a nightmare.
