Need ideas for multi-purpose studio furniture

[Susan Kuban]

Thanks, Molly, Lacey and Julie, for your suggestions, all good ones. I plan to think carefully about the kitchen cart idea. It's attractive and functional. The top of it is not large enough for my multi-purpose table, though. I guess I could put a door or some other wider, longer surface on top of the cart, but then, I'd have to take it off each time I wanted to use the cart as a taboret. Julie's bed frame idea is a good alternative, except that it is a little too short. I checked its dimensions and found that I'd bump my head on the mattress frame every time I bend over the table top below. If I could make the whole piece a few inches higher, it might be workable. Then I could use Lacey's idea of the rolling carts under the table surface. Both Wards' and Ikea seem to have quite a few items that might be adaptable. Thank you all for your ideas. I plan to work on this some more and if I come up with something "wonderful", I'll post it in this forum. I imagine there are plenty of other artists who are trying to maximize a small space.
