Designing My Studio

*Updated below

This is almost exactly what I am going to be doing in my studio. Thanks for posting the photos just for me Angela!

I will have a long counter along the back wall like that and a desk sitting on the left wall. I will probably do the upper cabinets all the way across the wall though. And underneath my counter you will find drawers, drawers, drawers. There is almost nothing better than drawers for organizing.

On the right side of the room I have an industrial sewing machine and an industrial serger. Think big. Very big. I love them both and couldn't live without them. I don't have room for a big table in here but I have a kitchen island three feet away that I can use to spread out on.

I need your help with something though. Should I give up some of those drawers to have a space to push a stool under the cabinet? It would make a nice spot to sit and work at the counter but I would lose some storage space in a very tiny room and I could always just drag my projects out to the kitchen island if I want to sit down. What do you think?

Are you ready for another trip to Ikea Stranger?

*I also wanted to show you a digital garden makeover that Angela did for one of her readers. I would like to send her a photo of every room in my house to see what she could do with it!

I LOVE the idea of all that storage! I would like to do something like that someday.

Personally I would rather lose a little bit of storage space and have a place to sit and work rather than move my stuff, even if it isn't moved very far. I just think it would be simpler. :)

I just had a look at the IKEA studio and it is amazing ! AMAZING !! I love it ! And I agree with Sharon, I'd rather lose a little bit of storage space too that have to move stuff all the time. I think that would get old !

If you're prone to leaving projects out, I'd opt for the stool space. But if you like to work where everyone else is, I'd probably use the island.

I would give up some storage space to be able to sit and work at the counter. I like that idea.

I think Ikea has marvelous ideas on home storage and organizing. Plus CHEAP too boot!

Have fun with it I say! Maybe a splash of your favorite color to inspire you!

Hmmm... stoll or storage. Tricky! Would you mind much sitting in front of the drawers?

... then maybe your stool could double in a corner as a shelf - put astorage basket on it or something!

I love Angela's blog too. She has great ideas on there.

I would also give up storage space for a stool. But that is me, I would rather stay put than move my stuff.

GOod luck, your ideas look great!
