It's fun to see what other people's darkrooms look like. Well here's mine...
It's more like a darkroom/office/bedroom. I put the trays on the 50s metal table, notice the green tarp on the floor to keep the chemical spills of the carpet (I want my security deposit back). The table is big enough for 4 12x16 trays. And that's the corner of my bed. I put negatives and photo paper on the bed while printing. I use a metronome and foot switch--no timer. I've got heavy black material over the two windows to keep it fairly light tight.
I do my film in the kitchen sink. I'm careful not to get Pyro in the coffee maker.
Here's my matting/packing area, which is currently a tinkertoy assembly plant. My 16x20 drymount press sits on the floor. You can see the edge of my big paper cutter that was rescued from a garbage pile in front of a school in Manhattan.
Don't be alarmed by the color photos, it's just my cheezy 1999 digital camera that I use for ebay photos.

Robbie, thanks for the glimpse into your darkroom. Stacey likes the lamp next to your enlarger. I agree, its always cool to see what a fellow printer is up to. Like all the prints on the wall. I'll forgive the color(this once)- I did the same thing. Paul

Thanks Paul, I was a little concerned about showing my setup since now people won't think I'm a professional--heehee. I wish I had a darkroom like yours. I've had that lamp for 20 years and have somehow managed not to break it.
