Studio takes shape

Hmmm, it's taking shape, but I'm not convinced it's the shape of a studio...the carpet doesn't help. I'm worried I'm either going to ruin it, or that I'll carry on treating it like a study. It's taken a lot of work clearing out the space (mainly in terms of finding places for the stuff to go), including the cupboard that was full of junk and hasn't been looked at for four years! At the moment the room's looking reasonably functional as a studio for working on a small scale (apart from the carpet), but there's still stuff in my Falmouth studio that I have to bring home... who knows where that lot's going to go!

When I went to visit a friend's studio, who also works from home, I realised that the way he'd used his space would work well for me, so I've tried to do something along the same lines. He had all his books, computers, magazines, found objects and work space in one room, which was great. The only thing is, his space is at least 3 times bigger than mine, if not more. I've just about got room for my art books, a comfyish chair (essential for reading and taking naps!), a small work desk - but no proper work benches, no floor space for making a mess on with plaster, and no decent wall space either.

There's also the question of what to do with the junk that's still on the landing outside the 'studio' door... Well, I know what I'd like to do with it, but I've been vetoed!
