Your shower is so much lighter and large feeling. Well done. Very nice and a great straight forward room. It's probably good that you started small and learned from the unexpected issues. Now when the Master gets underway you will be so much more knowledgeable and ready for the surprises.

Neat!

Hey Diane, I tried your son's forumla of standing back & zooming in. I think it worked pretty good. I'm not sure if my walls have slanted or the tripod sunk on one side, but it doesn't matter, I can take care of that. but I do think the pix are a bit clearer. Will keep practicing till I get it right. Thanks again! Pat

CPArtist, care to elaborate? This is the second studio I've designed. The first was in the condo and I wound up learning from my mistakes in that one. I am so looking forward to this one. What specific mistakes did you rectify this time around, or are they already explained above? (You might save others, er...me, some grief.) Happy to oblige. My last studio was the third bedroom in our condo. I had a wonderful closet to keep supplies in, but no place to store boxes or finished artwork, so it all wound up stacked up behind the sleeper sofa. (BTW the sleeper sofa will be on the north wall under the window in my new condo but won't have boxes or artwork stacked behind it.) One new closet has shelves built vertically to store artwork and boxes. And the other closet will actually have pull out drawers so I can store more in it. If you look at the photo, my easel was to the left of my desk chair so I could stand at my easel and reach for a pencil. The problem was the computer screen was lower so if I needed to look at a detail (I work from my own photos and from life combined) in my photo, it meant bending over to see the screen. In the new studio, the desk is 36" high which will put my computer screen at eye level when I'm standing at my easel. My pencils were always in a pile on top of the desk since there was no place to "store them". That meant many times I'd spend time searching for the color I need, even when it was right in front of me. LOL. The new desk has that wonderful drawer with 20 pencil compartments so I can store pencils by color and brand. There was no place to store my paper which was large sheets. so they wound up on top of the bench under the table, with the ends flopping over the edge. In the new studio between the two closets will be a paper storage cabinet. This will also allow me to store mats and finished art that isn't framed. The top was also glass on top of wood so it was always full of fingerprints and pencils had a habit of falling off. Because of the desk drawer, I don't have to worry about pencils falling off and the top is oak wood. The desk was not deep enough. It was if I recall about 25" deep, so I never felt like I had enough room to spread out. The new desk is 36" wide. I had no place but the dining room table to sort paper or frame drawings. Now my desk will allow me the room to do that. In the old setup the printer was on my desk as there was no other space. In the new studio, the printer will be in the closet or on the top of the paper storage bin. I didn't have great lighting so it was impossible to work once the sun went down. In the new studio, I have 8 high hats with LED lighting as well as a ceiling fan with LED lighting so I will have enough light to work at night if I'm trying to finish up a drawing. Additionally, with windows on both the north and south walls, I have bright daylight all day long. And just a personal thing. At times I just would go on the computer and the tv wasn't conducive to watching at my desk. In the new studio, my tv won't be conducive to watching while I'm drawing, but I never watch when drawing. I will listen though. However if I'm at the computer in my new studio, I'll be able to see the computer straight ahead. Lastly, I work standing up, so I designed the desk to be counter height. It will be easy for me to stand up from my chair to start drawing or sit down if I need to. One thing I'd say if you're setting up an art room or a craft room is to really figure out how you work and what you absolutely need. Where do you need to keep your materials while you're working? In front of you? To the left? The right? Where do you keep materials that aren't needed immediately? How do you work? Do you prefer sitting at a desk? Sitting at an easel? Standing up? Do you like listening to music? TV?
