My Painting Workspace

Having a nice, fairly organized workspace is very helpful when painting.  We did some home renovations and had an extra set of cabinetry and I turned that into a nice workspace for my painting.  It is mostly setup for painting miniatures, but has plenty of space for other crafts/painting as well.  It is a bit messy at the moment, but here is the picture of it.

There's quite a bit here, So I'll walk you through it.
1. I have an old set of cabinetry as the base, with an old laminate top and 4 drawers on each side, which is very handy for craft supply storage.  Underneath the cabinet, which is a bit hard to see is my compressor for my airbrush, and a Powerstrip I attached to the cabinet that everything plugs into.
2. The pegboard along the back wall is set off they wall by some 1x2 boards, which allows for the peg hooks to be installed.  Prior to installing the pegboard I screwed in the two small 1x2's as shelves for my paints.
3. Floating Shelf.  Just above the pegboard, I installed a floating shelf, so there are a bunch of supplies up on the shelf just out of the picture.
4. Lighting. I installed some undershelf lights on the floating shelf, as well as another desk lamp.  This provides plenty of lighting for anything I'm working on.
5. Supplies, I have all my Vallejo paints lined up in order, as well as some other supplies on the desktop, paints, brushes, etc...
6. Lastly, you have to have the stuffed fish on the wall to oversee all that is good.

This is just a brief glimpse of where I do some of my work.
