help: attic layout for recording and mixing.

first off i would like to say thanks for having me. Now.. i just moved into a second floor apt. in a brick house that comes with an attic. landlord said he was looking for a band or artist to put the attic to good use. i told him dont worry, i will. lol.. anyway. i just moved in, and im ready to get some equipment up there to start working. i took measurements and did a sketchup, with some pics. please bear with me im new to this stuff. the roof is 9' but angled. and there is a brick column thats like 1' 4 1/2" around from floor to ceiling. the whole attic is insulated with 6 1/4" R19 fiberglass from owen corning. the floor is wood, and i couldn't tell you what that stuff on the walls is, but got a pic of it. as of now the equipment is just pc with mbox monitoring out of Alesis M1 Active mk2 Biamp Monitors. and a rode nt-2 mic. but i will be upgrading the whole setup once the room is right. im not trying to spend too much on the room, but i am willing to do what it takes to get the best results. really i just need to know what i got to do in this space to get the best sound. oh yeh. i live on a fairly quiet road. theres a house on each side of me, both brick and is about 2 to 3 driveways away from me. nothing but woods in the back of my house and basically the front too. just a little one story house in front and to the right. i was in the attic listening and its quiet, some birds and a few cars in the day. at night its silent. whats should i do with this space? im in upstate ny. u.s.a..
