I've had so many comments on the photos of my studio I've shared. That's been fun. I've had several questions about where I stamp ... standing or sitting. Although, it may seem more relaxing to sit, I usually stand. This is because my first studio was so tiny, I'm not sure you could even call it a studio. I had a rolling kitchen cart in the center of our former nursery and that's where I stood to stamp. It had 3 wire baskets beneath it and a butcher block top. It had two leaves you could pull up to extend the top. It worked fine, but was pretty cramped for a work space. Anyway, I got used to standing to stamp and it is still difficult for me to stamp sitting down. I do have a stool I can pull up for a sitting break when I need it or I can move to my table where I teach classes. I have severe arthritis and can't sit OR stand for too long a period of time, so I designed my studio so that I have to mix it up and move around a little, so I don't get too stiff. My paper trimmer and inks are right behind me from where I stand to stamp. It works for me and I love it. I think everyone has to find what works best for them and use the space you have to its fullest potential.
