    @cadgirl, I refinished my basement room back in 2017/2018 before I got back into Guitar. Once I joined TAC in May 2020 it became my own little Guitar room/studio/whatever. I have it all set up with a small desk like thing for the computer and music stuff and an armless, comfy chair, and easel etc. It is probably about 225 square feet give or take. I now have a 5 Guitar Guitarseal and they are all hanging on the wall for ease of access.

    I am in NJ, so lots of humidity in the summer and dry in the winter. I watch the humidity like a hawk and try to keep it in the high fortys % or around 50% (Martins seem to like it right about there). Monitoring the humidity is very important. The room is insulated with something called Insofast, but it officially has no heat or air conditioning. Tends to be in the mid-sixties in the winter and mid-seventies in the summer. I have been thinking about adding a mini split system to maintain a more consistent temperature. If we go away for any length of time, all the guitars go into their cases again to maintain that humidity.

    Bottom line: It works great and it is a remote space where the door can be closed and I am not bothering anyone, more specifically not driving my wife nuts by playing the same thing over and over again (:
