As part of the full home remodeling project, I am moving the existing home office, and combining my home office, and music room / studio into one painfully small space. The smallest of my bedrooms, which is 10x10 feet with 8 foot ceilings.
The following has to fit in the space.
1 Full stack bass amplifier.
1 1x12 guitar combo amp, Project needed, build tilt back amp stand.
4 Electric Bass Guitars.
1 Acoustic Bass guitar.
2 6 string electric guitars.
1 Acoustic guitar.
1 Acoustic / Electric guitar.
1 digital piano
1 48" LAN rack. Populated with gear to keep my IT continuing ed / training moving forward rapidly.
1 vertical 4 drawer filing cabinet (wood, or particle board actually). Project needed. Anti Racking reinforcement as the cardboard back didn't work.
1 L shaped desk, with hutch.
1 7u network switch rack with KVM, Network Switches, Cable modem, router, NAS devices, VoIP adapters. Project needed. Mount board, cabling, and 110 punchdown panel, plus wiring to each phone outlet.
1 12 input mixer.
1 pair of studio reference monitors.
2 desk chairs
All In One photo printer machine.
So far, I have installed mounting cleats to hang my instruments along 2 of the 3 walls that will be housing them. The one uninterrupted wall will get the L desk / hutch, the filing cabinet, switch rack, and LAN rack.
In order to provide a quiet environment for recording, the server rack will have to be shut down during recording, but since they are for my training, and not actually working as servers, no problem there.
Tonight, God, and my wife willing, I am pulling the guest bed out of that room, stashing it as best I can in the current office, and starting on filling holes in the walls in that room. (Long story, lots of small nails holes...)
I am varying off of my original design by a hair, I am ending up with more instruments than I had orignially designed for. I will be using the long angled guitar hanger brackets like you see in guitar stores instead of the straight hangers I am now using. We don't have the digital piano yet, that is going to be a gift for my wife. So for now, I need to get the bed, LAN rack, and amps out of the room. I can then rip the flooring out, LOML wants to do faux wood tile through the house, this would be the perfect space to experiment with that in. Once flooring is done, I will finish by painting the walls. Still need to pick a color, need something brighter than the leather / earthy tones used through the rest of the house. Will likely swap out the ceiling fan here, for one that matches the newer fixtures in the rest of the house.
On the subject of the hangers. I need to come up with a good, strong, yet attractive design for the hangers. Or suggestions for commercially available units that aren't hideously expensive. Looking for suggestions...
I am hoping once I get everything moved in here, I can purge the junk out of the old office (VERY obsolete computers, old documents no longer useful, college books etc...) and get the old office converted into a guest room...
Basically, I am looking to make the best use of the space I have available. We will see what happens...
