A Garage of One's Own

Sometimes, when you least expect it, something beautiful happens. Thanks to a work delay I had the whole Friday for myself (what a treat!), so I said to myself "Carpe diem" and I seized the opportunity to do something I had been planning for a very long time: set up a suitable working space.
Here's the result. My garage has been turned in a place where I can work on my artwork at night, after putting my little one to bed (if I'm not too wasted, which happens most of the time).
I bought a little heating unit (it's getting quite cold, besides the garage is north-facing), I re-used two lamps (one on each side of the canvas), two amplifiers for music, radio, etc.
The garage has a sink and a window, so I also have air and water.
I turned what we called "the realm of spiders" into a cozy little corner where I can finally extend my easel without hitting the ceiling and store my super-toxic and super-dangerous equipment.
Space does wonders, as Virginia Woolf beautifully stated before me.
