I've enjoyed seeing pictures of your workshops, and thought I would share a few of mine. You'll notice it's full of '80s brown furniture - this isn't my personal style choice, but they were all free. It started with the table, then the bookshelf, then the little 'night stand', and then the desk (which is by far the heaviest thing we own!) Now there's also a room divider in front of the black table where I store my leather, and in front of that a padded bench with a big pillow propped against the wall. It's a perfect spot for sewing, drinking coffee, daydreaming, etc. The good thing about the bench is that from there I can't reach the computer, so I sometimes manage to get a few things done : ) The room is 9'x12'. It's well-organized though, and although I could almost open a used furniture store with all the things I've managed to fit, it actually functions rather well. My chair spins between my desk and my workbench, I have several places to set my coffee, and all of my tools are within reach - especially since they're usually in a heap on the table!

This is the 4th version of workshop for me. I started at the same table, in the corner of my son's room, in 2004. Later that year we moved to a bigger house and I had the front room with a water view! It was also the main entryway of our house, so I was constantly interrupted. In frustration I moved my shop to a rental space for six months, which was really nice but a little inconvenient. Finally, we moved once again and I've got a private, finished room in the daylight basement. The ironic thing? The wall in my current shop was already the exact same shade of greenish-yellow that I painted my rental space : )

Taken early in my mask-making days, when prototype bags still had the 'spotlight':

And how it normally looks these days:

And now, I better get back to work!

Thanks for looking!

Here's my little work shop.

I finally got around to clean the place enough to take some pictures (yeah,l I'm a messy creature). It's usually like a tornado have entered the area:-) The good thing is, I can always close the door and no one will know:-)

I love my former dresser/drawer, it holds tons of stuff without showing it. It seams like the "bigger place" you have, the more you collect and the more you need, go figure.

Since folks were showing their work areas I finally took some pictures of our craft room. Right now only my leather stuff is in it. Where I am taking the pictures from will be where my wife's loom will go when it arrives. I appreciate seeing everyone's areas since when we build the house in Minnesota part of the basement will be turned into the craft room and I will get to add to the leather areas. One item I plan on putting into the room is a sealed cabinet with a built in exhaust system t the outside so when dyed/finished items are drying ithe smell doesn't go all through the house. I also plan on a large cutting table with racks to hold the leather, that way I can have dark cloth curtains so the sun light doesn't darken the leather before I get to work on it.

I cleaned my shop the other day so I thought I would post some picks before I messed it up.

Here are a few pictures of my shop. It is 14' x 28' in one corner of a 40' x 80' barn.

I had a friend who was going to heating and air-conditining school install the heating and air for a class project. Worked out pretty good for me. It's been a fun place to work.
