When I decided to fix up my space, I too was on a limited budget ( AKA zero dollars) so I drew out my space on paper. Then I cut out shapes which resembled my furniture and moved them around the paper until I found what I liked. It helped a lot without moving anything and didn't cost a dime. After I moved everything around, I was thrilled with the results. Good luck! Bradie Hi Erin!

I wonder if we are related!! I LOVE Lois Hallock's book! It's my very favorite for studio organization -- and the best book on the subject there is. Good luck with your re-do. You're reminding me that I have the very same project to tackle. Too bad they don't happen like they do on Trading Spaces. We tried that once with my son's room. It took us a whole week to get everything done. We didn't have any "stunt" people hanging around to finish each project. ; ) Hi Erin — I just found your blog and sent you a FB request.

I had about $600 tax return. Most was used for flooring. I have two folding tables 6ft at the bottom of the U shape, the 5 ft as the right side, for the cutting table, and the ironing board on the left. I repainted shelving and reused whenever I could. I got a nice rug at a garage sale for $20! See pictures at my blog. I had to use what I had to redo my studio space a couple of years ago. I had about $600 tax return. Most was used for flooring.

I really like the thought you've put into this and the ideas you've listed out. Very smart, very very smart! You've got me thinking, too. I'm thinking of lighting right now... Sure need that. Although I'm a kitchen quilter so I'm not sure what sort of lights I'll go for. Hmmm... :) Oh and I think you're really right about the benefits of house sitting and working with and around the set up of other folks. You're a lucky gal now that I think about it! Darn lucky! Warmly and with tons of hugs, *karendianne. Erin, sorry it took me so long to get around to this but gosh it was worth the way.
