I have two studio spaces at my house. The “clean” studio is a second bedroom I share with my husband. He’s a musician and photographer and most of his work is done digitally, so his side is usually immaculate. I would like to think of myself as an organized person, however, the exception seems to be my work spaces. I use more traditional materials (fabric, paper, wood, pens/pencils/markers) and those take up space. I have a large closet along the back wall which hides most of the stuff. However, I also have a large desk that has many piles on it, and usually a clear area in the middle with just enough space for arm movement to work and a few sewing machines. The mess also tends to linger long after a project is completed.

There is an additional  “messy” studio in a small garage outside of our house. This is where I do sculpture work and painting and it pretty much stays a disaster always.

The rest of our house is fairly minimal.
