My studio in my new home is a really quite large room. For some reason I’ve found it very difficult to get it laid out in a way that works for me. But finally I think – I hope – I have it figured out!
The corner of my studio where most of the work happens!
My bench and other furniture have all been moved around to various positions in the room since I moved in. I’ve either not been happy with where the powerpoints are or the light or the view … or some other problem!
My trusty jewellery bench.
And yesterday I decided I still wasn’t happy with where my bench was – lack of natural light being the issue this time around – and so I moved everything all over again!
Of course my bench is now exactly where I put it in the first place when I moved in!
This room has been used as a jewellery studio by various people who have lived here, but it was almost certainly a bedroom to start with.
Unfortunately the view from the window isn’t too exciting – it’s just of the driveway – but it’s great to be able to look up and see the sky and some greenery.
The studio has old, crumbling linoleum on the floor which I really quite like, although it is beyond repair.
It also has a really lovely old slow combustion fireplace in one corner. I haven’t used it yet, but apparently it works! I think I’ll try it out if it’s especially cold when I’m working in there one day.
Anyway, after spending several hours working in the studio today, I think I’ve finally nailed the layout! For now. Now I just need to get some more equipment in here …

How cool! I enjoy seeing art studios. Yours is very well lit and organized with a bit of whimsy. Love it!

Hey thanks! It probably won’t look that organised from now on, but I’ll do my best. Now I’d like a nice heavy regular work bench in the middle of the room with a rolling mill and bench shear on it.
