Art Studios, Workshops, Sheds or Where Do You Do Your Creative Work?

I've always been intrigued with where creative folks do their work. For years I clipped images of art studios and craft rooms waiting for the day my children were grown, educated and I could have my own place to work in. It took more than 45 years, and a second mortgage but finally I was able to make it happen. This is my studio, a 950 sq. ft. stand alone building on our 5-acre property. This space started out as a studio and gallery to make and sell my handmade plant papers and now I paint furniture in it. I'd love to see other HT members share where they make their work and create. Please share! Maybe we will create a new HT category.
