Whenever we get into this sort of discussion we are getting into =3D
marriage counseling. Your problem is that Husband hunts, is proud of his =
=3D
trophies, cherishes his hunting "equipment" and wants the best for it. =3D
Meanwhile YOU want space for a studio where you can work. Conflict.
Now I do not know why the trophies belong in the guest bedroom at all. =3D
Surely they can be displayed elsewhere in the house. I know, I know, I =3D
live in Gd Bless the Second Amendment Country, and there is constant =3D
bickering about why the Double Horned Burmese Elk head has to be in the =3D
dining room, when a large mirror would be so much "nicer."
There now are excellent--so I am told--plastic storage bags--you have =3D
seen the ads, and friends have told me they are really good--that allow =3D
you to store clothes and then pump the air out of the bag so it can be =3D
stuck under beds...That might clear up some hunting gear from the room.
With some heads gone, and some closet space opened up, you should be =3D
able to hang a lot of stuff from the walls. Bat racks can be built =3D
against a wall easily. I do not like plaster in the studio, my wedging =3D
boards are canvas covered outdoor or marine plywood, and are hung up =3D
when not in use. Similarly I use a diversity of those white plastic =3D
covered wire thingies they make for bathrooms and kitchens to store =3D
colorants, stains, brushes, sponges, etc...All hang from the wall.
I also have a small solid ladder so I can reach higher, and utilize the =
=3D
shelves better.
Overhead storage as someone suggested is good--but tends to be a dust =3D
catcher...
You do not tell us where you live...But do consider that ALL the clay =3D
does NOT need to be stored in the studio....nor do the 50 lbs bags of =3D
feldspar...

This is my version of the bamboo and slats over the wheel platform,
suspended racks like they have in Japan, except these are of 2X2s and
2X4s:

"The tea ceremony bowl is the ceramic equivalent of a sonnet: a
small-scale, seemingly constricted form that challenges the artist to
go beyond mere technical virtuosity and find an approach that both
satisfies and transcends the conventions." -- Rob Sliberman
