I split my work between three rooms:
My Omega D-2v enlarger sits on the floor of a walk-in closet, where I expose all my prints.
I then put the prints in a Premier “Paper Safe,” and walk down the hall to my bathroom. This is where I line-up trays in the tub, and develop the prints. If my prints are bigger than 11x14, which is rare, I’ll stack the trays. This is also where I develop sheet film.
I then take my fixed prints (or film) to the kitchen for washing, either in trays, or a washer connected to the sink. Typically, I use trays under the faucet for rc prints, and use the washer for fiber prints. The washer sits on the counter adjacent to the sink, and empties into the sink basin.
I put my finished prints on a framed screen that fits on top of my stove – but the screen can go anywhere. I have several framed screens that are stackable. A couple of times I forgot the stove had been left on. (Please, don’t ask. )
I’ve never felt crowded!
