My current workspaces are distributed around our house. Most of my activities are conducted in the airconditioned spaces. That is one of the constraints for crafting in Florida. Being retired with the children grown and out of the home provides lots of space many of the younger folks don't have.
The obvious starting point for a task is located in the normally least used room in the house, the living room (we actually live in the den.) The drafting board is used to layout scratch built items and occasional designs. As you can see, the room also houses some of our dollhouses.
Next, we have dedicated one bedroom to our computers and craft work. My computer, on the the left, is invaluable for the many graphics required. The desk on the right is used to work on small items. There is also a TV and stereo to keep me happy as I work.
House and model assembly is done on this roll-around table. The turntable solves the problem of getting the next tool which always seems to be on the other side of the table. When not needed, the table rolls into the room's closet with all the other craft storage. The doors can be closed to make the place pretty when guests come to visit.
Construction of bases and installation of landscaping finally drive me out into the hot garage. Here, I have my power tools and storage for paints, landscaping materials, and scraps from previous projects.
Here's a hint, if you haven't seen it before. A section of eave-trough downspout can be cut into pieces of varying lengths and glued/taped together onto a base to hold all those pesky little chunks of left-over strip wood. It holds them securely out of the way and makes it easy to select the ones you want to use.
