This is just a post to see where and what room people do their painting and modeling.

I was wondering as I've been converting my cellar so I can now have my area set up without worry. That and my Fiancee wants the spare room back as it was.

I've had a table set up for painting in the spare room for over a year now (since I started) and agreed to move everything into the cellar. Its only a small cellar so I have less room for storing stuff but at least she's off my back and we can finish the spare room. I've got a heater and TV down there so thats me sorted. I did used to do my spraying down there i'll have to get some sort of extraction set up for that now.

My friend does his in his front room on a coffee table.

I just wondered if anyone else has any other stories or views about where they do their painting.

I have a room with all my 40k and modeling crap in it. Big fancy desk and all that. Took me like 2 months ot set up.

That being said, its in the back of the house and it gets too quiet back there. So Im doing most of my painting these days in my living room. I have a project tray that I pile some minis and the needed paints upon, and I park myself in front of the TV on the floor and listen to history channel while I bring color to my little gaming world

In a poky little room full of books and a computer.

In the front room, on coffee table. While watching TV, usually soaps hehe.

In my upper study, with my computer, paints and random projects bundled into piles

On my desk in my bedroom. There's not much room in my apartment.

My basement is unfinished so we have thrown down extra carpet as rugs and their is little repercussion for spilling paint so I paint down here. Also, flat screen 42" lcd TV, xbox, computer is also down there so all is well in the Man-cave.

Man Cave. I like it. I'll have to use that one when ahe ask's where i'm going.

I have a few places were i setup. When spray painting(primer) basement. usually when i dont want to be bothered ill paint in the den or the office room what ever room you want to call it. When i need some back round noise ill go into my living room, that being said i had a very playful dog and when i was painting in the living room he had jumped on my lap and split my blood red paint all over the couch. the GF was devistated... good thing we got that piece of furniture from free cycle.

Cheers, lads and dames.

Because my basement is so cold during the winter, I paint on my computer desk.

I paint in our lounge, on the leather settee, risking death everytime I paint, because if I get a speck on the settee, I will be throtteled

I paint in my room on my work desk. Problem is i have to do my homework and stuff on it so space is tight.

I have a converted attic, still have to use a ladder to get up there but it has plugs, lights carpet etc and enough space for a couple of 6x4 tables and my painting desk etc

At home, in the living room. I claimed half of it after 'The Battle For The Living Room'.

I have a pair of desks set up, and a case converted for painting so I can be mobile. Well, as mobile as I ever get.

I usually paint at my desk right now, hopefully in a month or two I will have my own den (hobby room) I can retreat to and paint for hours without being interrupted....

My room. The desk is conviniently placed behind my computer desk, so I swivel around and paint when the computer stuffs up.

I have a desk/modeling area set up in my dining room. its pretty cramped though. My house is small...by American standards anyways.

In my basement on a old computer desk.

My cellar gets pretty cold (for a British winter) but I put a heater down there. At least I can stay set up and its ready whenever I feel like it.

I had a battle for the spare room, of which the results were not good for me, hence the cellar.

Also I didnt realise I had so much modelling stuff, you should try moving it all one day, and storing it all is a nightmare.

I just spread out a sheet on my living room floor, and sit there and do all my painting.

On an old desk in the spare room.
Lots of peace and quite for painting.

In my room on the desk but i am usually lying on the bed instead of actually sitting at the desk. I paint reclined like hedonism bot.

On my painting desk infront of the tv. Which is also my Library for everything.

Desk in the bedroom. Student apartments are not big enough to have a completely dedicated hobby station.

In my room (a doubles college dorm room with beds over the desks), on the desk under the bed I sleep in. Lots of light from the desk light, window, room light, and sink light behind it. Also, the desk is literally as big as a bed, so its a pretty big area.

On a coverted tv tray.
Usually the tv tray is on the bed.
But I can watch tv while i paint, of watch random videos.
and no spills... yet

My wife gave me half of a desk in our office (its a huge desk) and let me buy all the foam I needed for all of my armies so that I could maintain ordered chaos. Right now I've got several portable warfare cases each containing an army. In my room I've got a TV, Computer, and radio. I feel like I'm set

In my room, on my window sill. Occasionally I'm allowed to use the dining room table.

Once I move out, I'm turning a room into a suitable man cave for instruments and painting.

I have a nice sized room with a big desk. Works out nicely.
