We're building a house and I will have my own homeschool "messy project" room. 
I'm interested in ideas of what to put in it, in terms of set-up. Right now, I know we need a cheap table we can bang up. We'll be doing art in this room, in addition to science and other projects. It's not a lesson room, rather a project room. We'll obviously need shelves. It has a window for ventilation, which is good for dissection and other strong-smelling projects. I want a partial clothes-line to run across part of the room, so we can hang paintings to dry. I think we'll have a small sink. I'm interested in some cheap peg-board so we can hang small containers (like for wood bits or whatever) and so that we can change the configuration. I'm thinking that I want one wall of the room to be a wall where the kids can paint it themselves. I'd love them to put colorful hand-prints but I think ds1 has a plan of making a mural. I have a ton of posters we could use, including a large wall map but I'm not sure if we'll have room for all that now if we do peg-board and a kids' mural.
What else would you put in a self-contained homeschool room of your own? Again, it will basically be a messy project room. I want it to efficiently store stuff but also encourage creativity. Can anyone think of other cool set-up ideas we can use? I should add that my husband is having a woodworking shop in the basement so we won't need room for wood-working tools and such. Any ideas?
