I took some photos of my craft room today!!

Since I am the curious-type, I'd love to see photos of others' crafting spaces!
Right now this is about as organized as it gets, and its a TINY room with a lot of stuff in it. I do all my crafting & fursuitmaking in the living room still, but I keep all my projects & costumes in this room. :D

Any tips/tricks for a nice set up?
I like to use the little plastic organizing containers for tons of stuff, too. It helps to have items organized by what it is for, rather than by single item. (like my paint bin also has all my brushes, palates, sponges, solvents, etc. in it)
well my is just a simple desk in supra neon green room with my suit head stairing at me when i'm doing my SVC college hw.

This is an old photo, but it's of my little basement corner dedicated to fursuit work. (My parents got sick of me making fur-mess around the house and let me have a corner of our basement to move my stuff to.)
Form left to right:
My shelves for fur and foam. (And fleece.)
The main ares of the corner, where there's a wooden 'desk'/bench with things like clay projects, resin eyes, finished head, brushes, airbrush materials and so forth sit..in a jumbled mess! (Though, to give credit to myself, I've started organizing them.) A pile of heads.
And the other side of the room where my sewing machines are. ( I have two, a brother and a (now) vintage Sears Kenmore that we found along side the road and fixed up.
I wish I could say that the current state of the work room is better than that old photo, but it's really almost worse. xD Foam scraps everywhere!
This is mine: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v.....gelwolf/desks/ It's about 1/2 of my bedroom in my studio/1 bedroom apt. It's grown a little since then, added a few more big totes full of fur, and a TON of plastic drawers for art supplies, to keep them safe from the fursuit mess :3
Our cutting and sewing space is spacious and well equipped with an industrial cutting table and two industrial sewing machines.
Our entry way has been converted from a shop to a warehouse. There is another palette rack behind me. I joke that we live in a converted warehouse that has been converted back to a warehouse.
We have two back rooms for fabric and notions storage.
Sometimes we over-flow into the living room. Like, seriously.
Of course, before you get jealous, there is the flip-side: We live in the ghetto on the wrong side of both sets of tracks and next to the freeway. It's cold in the winter and hot in the summer. The foundation is deteriorating and ants occasionally come up from the floor. Of course, I wouldn't trade it for a regular house.

i'm trying to expand my storage space to a back room, so it's VERY messy. xD
Once it was so bad i INSISTED that we clean it before we do anything. It took an entire day to work out a clean spot around 6x9.
A week later it returned to its original messy-ass state X.X I feel so unappreciated
As for my space, it is a neat-freak zone. Sewing machine wiped down, desk generally in good shape, fabric neatly stowed in little hampers. Sorry for talking so much O.o
Right now I'm trying to buy a house and there will be a garage to store a lot of this stuff and a third bedroom for proper storage of costumings!
I love having the row of heads on display. :)
