Hobby rooms, part one

As I work on my basement hobby space...

I've been thinking about all the horse rooms I've had the privilege of visiting.
Regan OKeefe's hobby room
Some rooms are absolutely overflowing with horses.
Fran Lowe's hobby room
Others are elegant and spare with lots of space.
Anna Dobrowolska-Oczko's hobby room
Some include studios.
Fabian Rodriguez's hobby room
Some are studios.
Ilona Himmelmann's hobby room
Some are big and spacious and specifically designed to be a hobby space.
Karen Gerhardt's hobby room
Others aren't really hobby rooms, as much as hobby areas incorporated into other living spaces.
Tara Reich's hobby room
How many people do I know who have a curio cabinet with horses in their living room?
Kim Brandner's hobby room
So many!
Heather Malone's hobby room
Tiffany's hobby room takes up the entire basement of her house and includes lots of comfortable seating.
Tiffany Purdy's hobby room
I don't think my old/new basement space will ever look as nice as some of these rooms.
Angelo Žunić's hobby room
Still, I am excited about the possibilities!

    I *love* your basement! I love the color of the carpet! (but I like neutral colors anyway!) The only thing that would concern me would be spilling paint or any kind of chemicals on it!!
    Of all the hobby rooms you've shown, I like Fran Lowe's the best!!(dust bunnies and all!!)
    You wanna know how to have a curio cabinet in a living space---I invite you to come visit my apt. !! I have 2 8 ft ones surrounded by at least 6 bookcases(or more) in less than 500 square feet of room!! I'm the epitome of "where's there a will--there's a way!!"(haha!)

    1. I won't be using the basement hobby area as a studio, so I'm not worried about spills. There is a photo table down there, but otherwise it's just a comfortable place for the horses to live.

  3. OooooWheee--one thing I'd like to have in my horse room is Regan OKeefe's horse prints and Kim Brandner's horses!!
