About a year back now I went back to an old job that keeps me traveling. I haven't seen my home in about a year (wife travels with me and we both work the same job). So all I have had to do while traveling and working is dream about what I want to work on when I do make it home and pick up some small pieces of equipment while traveling to take back with me.

I've drawn the upstairs of my house to the best of my memory and included what I am pretty sure are the dimensions. I've tried to talk the wife into letting me knock down a wall or two but she isn't going for it. So with the space I have, how would you suggest setting up. This can include where to place bass traps and other room treatment. I started building those before I left, but didn't finish them up.

As far as what I have in the room that will need to be placed.

A desk to work at - ( I have a wooden desk but I'm considering a nice DIY desk just for the "studio" )
Roland TD-10 drums
couple guitars
2 computers (one mac one PC, will likely hook up to a switch and use the same keyboard/mouse/monitors for both computers)
monitors (which I don't have yet but will be purchasing when I move home)

If you feel up for it tell me where I should place the desk/monitors and acoustic panels. If you are really bored you can tell me which part of the room might be best for placing mics and singing too!

Oh and forgot to add. Ceilings are around 10ft I think and carpet on the floor.

Quick set up would be desk a couple of feet out from the 10' wall that has the window. Bass traps in all corners (ceiling/walls and floor/walls). Traps on either 17' wall at points of first reflection and a cloud/trap on the ceiling above the mixing desk area. Not sure why you want 2 computers, but I'd keep them separate completely, no complicated switches for monitors or controls.
 
Except for the job I am current in I'm an IT guy by trade. I love my mac for recording but for everyday work and computer games I like a PC. The switch won't be a problem although that does introduce 2 machines for noise instead of 1. I can just keep one off at a time though.

Everything else listed shouldn't be a big deal, pretty sure I can manage it whenever I do finally get to go home again!

Any other input?
 
Yeah I can't wait. Right now the date is Sept 29th when I finally get to go home, but that could get pushed out farther depending on what comes up. Last time I was home I think was August of last year.
