This is a view of my studio. The 2 left hand tables hold my machines. The middle table is where I work things out and the right hand table you can just see the corner of, is my cutting table. The windows face south and provide lots of light during overcast winter days. It could be a bit bright in the summer months so I have blinds to install.
In the centre of the room are 3 tables that I stand up to work at. Underneath I store stuff in carts on wheels so I can wheel them out to the area where I am working. The far right hand wall holds basic fabrics, papers for design work and lots of collections of things: tools, glues, buttons. The wall behind is my design wall.
This is how I organise backup material for each project I am working on. The bottom half of shelves holds collected material to file in my reference library. I generally file only once I can't fit anything more onto the shelf.
So that's my new studio. I still have a few things to set up, like the blinds, a music system, the wet studio, pin boards but so far it is working very well. I have so much more room than in my previous space so I am finding I am able to work on more than one project at a time.

thanks for the tour Lesley. It has taken me over 2 years to get my Studio where I want it and Its working out great (for now). Thought I'd share this tid bit. I use a sheet of 1 1/2 inch installation cut to 4 x6 feet as a mobil design board. I've attached a sheet of flannel to the front. I can move it from end of the studio to the other with ease.
Hi Lesley your studio looks wonderful! Hopefully I will get a chance to come out and see it soon
Take care.
OOh, you lucky thing! this looks great and I can just imagine you working there. I'm still functioning on half a back room containing 1 small table.3 sets of shelves and a pile of boxes and baskets used jointly with the husband, daughter and all the pets (the cats keep sleeping on things overnight and have now taken to pulling out threads and playing with them!). one day I might have a space last this - I can dream. Enjoy!
thanks for the comments. i always enjoy seeing other's studios so i though i should show mine.
