jennythereaderIf you had an unlimited budget, and no limits imposed for other reasons, what sort of hobby space would you design for yourself?
Mine would be a large, interestingly shaped room with lots of windows and separate areas for different types of activities.
The reading area would have a window seat and tons of bookcases, as well as an outlet for charging my Kindle.
The knitting/embroidery/other hand-held project area would have a couple of comfortable chairs (one soft and cushy for lounging in, and the other more like a good office chair), and a good TV with both a DVD player and internet access.
The workshop area would have two sub-sections each with 2 or 3 stations worth of countertops. One would have the counters at a comfortable height for me to stand, and the other would have the counters at a comfortable height for sitting. Individual projects would be stored in mobile cabinets more or less like this one, which would be stored under the high counters when not being worked on. General supplies would be stored in kitchen style cabinets above the counters. There would also be a mini-kitchen with a sink, small fridge, stove, and another station or two of counterspace.
I don't think I'd bother with a distinct office area, instead I'd get a top of the line laptop and a portable stand for it.
The whole room would have an excellent sound system, wired (or wirelessly connected) to the TV, a server, and a top of the line stereo.
The decor would be simple. Light, cool colors. Solids or simple prints. Minimal knick-knacks, and just a few rugs on a hardwood floor.
