I loved your description of rush hour! 😂 I have been working from home for close to ten years. All I needed was my laptop , headset, a fast and reliable internet connection and coffee! I enjoyed the digital nomad years of my life. Since I started my art journey, things changed and I started to need more and more space to work. It's funny how changing professions makes one's ideas change. I was all for downsizing and smaller spaces and now I need a LOT of square feet to be able to create my art.
You definitely need more room, especially if you're beginning to dump and throw paint around! 😂
