Re: Show off your workspace!
If the shed doesn't work out...my next to best is to eventually get a computer armoir for all my computer stuff, then a much smaller desk than the one I currently have to use for my crafting/art.
My current desk is about 6 ft long x 2 ft wide. It has an open cubby in the center, 2 drawers on the right side....a small one and a file drawer, on the left is a door where I keep my printer paper, photo print paper, a few books I use regularly for this-that-and-the-other, the box my digital camera came in with the USB cords and what-not and various packs of printable labels. On top is my laptop, printer, bill box, a candle, homemade rolodex (if you can call it that), some music CDs, catalogs and scrap paper....etc. In the cubby, I have my paper cutter, a drawer organizer that wouldn't fit the small drawer...it keeps pens, paperclips, scissors, a small hammer that also can become a screwdriver, a knife, stapler, staple remover and staples, rubber bands, ruler, tape, correction tape (I don't like white out..too messy)....other various office type stuff. I can only hope if I ever do go to a computer armoir that it's big enough to hold all of this stuff. There isn't anything listed above that doesn't get used. In this same room, I have a 4 drawer metal filing cabinet, a 27" television, my Witch's cabinet that houses candles, books, and all those other things I need for THAT type of crafting, on top it has my triple candle holder, a goddess sculpture, 2 altar pots, a censor, my Nigerian talking drum, a clock, various candles, various stones and crystals and a clay dragon I bought from a friend in DeviantART a couple of years ago. There is a small gas heater as well, sitting in front of the old fireplace, my DH's bookshelf, a small table next to the window for my kitties, my garbage can, a small 2 drawer plastic container that holds whatever, with my shredder, a 3 hole punch, and envelopes sitting on top of it. That is my work space...one of these days I may post some pics of it....depends on if I get motivated enough..lol.

Re: Show off your workspace!
Updates . . woohoo.
Excuse my highly fashonable outfit . . . but here's the bricks and the shelves built into what used to be the front windows of the house. I'm just putting on the second coat of stain!

Re: Show off your workspace!
I finally have some shots of my house studio! It had started to be used as a storage room during the last major remodel so I actually hadn't stepped foot in there in almost 2 months. It's so nice to just go and sit and be with my junk!  I have a whole room, about 15' x 10' I'd say. It's still a work in progress, but I think that's the way my studios always are...
Here's the main wall of junk:
And the other side is more for my craft stuff:
The shop studio is about 30' x 30' but it's still being finished. It will have paper marbling and a few floor looms. It was going to have pottery but that's been moved to the farm. Thank goodness I can get that kiln out of my garage now!

Re: Show off your workspace!
The big blank area in the second photo is where I was thinking of doing the fish stencil from Splendid Fish!!!
And if you look carefully at the desk, you might see a familiar work that is waiting to be framed...
The little round pillow in front of the window is frequently a meditation spot (the shelves on the desk right next to it are full of my stuff for that - candles, incense, etc) and I figured it would be a good place to hang it up nearby!

Re: Show off your workspace!
wow, it must be so nice to have a special room for all of your art stuff, all neatly organized, and an actual work space.

Re: Show off your workspace!
Well... I have a new workspace. It isn't ready for pics yet, but it is functional.
I converted a closet into an office.
In the family room there was a 3'x9' closet. I cleared out all my boxes (mostly books... I think they breed if you leave them in dark, quiet places...) and junk. I have a lovely little desk at one end. and a simple entertainment center at the other (looks like an extra deep bookcase... my printer is on the top of it.) I'm still trying to think of a way to arrange things so I can fit a filing cabinet in here.
I still need to decorate. I've some lovely corner shelves I plan to hang up the wall above my desk, and some tapestries and art I need to pick through. A rug would be nice. Corkboards and calanders are needed. And a lamp (or two.)
This workspace gives me a quiet place to work (I own a home with my mother. Because she uses a wheelchair, most guests are entertained upstairs.) It is also one I can shut the cats out of. VERY important, if I don't want them sleeping atop the printer. With the closet doors open, it isn't confining (I'm writting from it now.)
I also have hopes that I'll be able to use it to keep the business end of things better organized... at the least less scattered. If I can get reciepts and such in here, it will be VERY hard for them to go far  .
I'll add some pictures once I've decorated.

For good or ill, luck and opportunity are 90%+ preparation...
