new studio : worktable hunting

for the past few months, i've felt like a real estate agent looking at house after house as we are hunting for a new domicile. although i don't mind as i really do enjoy looking at property, along with that, i've been dreaming about a new studio space! (it makes me so giddy just thinking about it!) although i do love my current studio, i feel that i am starting to outgrow the space and would like something a bit more roomier. with that said, i've been searching for the right 'environment' and first thing on the list of 'wants' is a huge work table in the middle of the room!!

i've been looking and it looks like it comes down to either forking out tons of money for the size that i want or to build one yourself. i'm beginning to lean towards building one myself, but would love your input on what you have tried within your work space.

any thoughts? please share~~
