long time lurker, first time poster.
i went from having a 10x12 room to an 8x5.5 walk in closet. had to make room for a guest room that will never be used. but it did me some good to 'clean house' and pitch the garbage and junk i had lying around. i even have a nice big pile of things to sell on CL. hopefully i'll get enough cash to buy a new mixer.
before:
after:
this is the short wall. only 6' long with the door.
2x ikea stuva childrens storage units (without drawer installed) - $50/each
the stuva holds my guitars very well. enough room underneath to store pedals or even some crates of things. :thu:
this is the long wall. 8'. i bought two ikea benno tv benches to house my keyboards. - $70/each.
the benno units are 46.5" long each. and i BARELY had enough room to shove an old power mac back against the wall. this is used for tracking. 16 tracks at a time via two firepods.
for the racks, i used ikea rast side tables. $15/each. they are a perfect 6U. the rails were another $8/pair. i got those on ebay.
this one houses my drumstation, sampler and fx units.
this one handles the patchbay, power strip, power amp and firepods. the recording rack.
tilt your head.
