Need help with small (13x10) studio design

I have a small converted basement bedroom with interior and exterior entries (used to be a one-car garage, many years ago). I've been in the house for 3 months. I mostly record my own projects and singer-songwriters, therefore I don't need a live room. I would love to be able to record drums from time to time, but I don't think that's gonna happen. I do need a vocal/guitar iso booth. Some issues: • The master bedroom is directly over the studio and there is little insulation (i.e., loud creaking floors anytime someone walks in the master). • We plan on selling the house in 3 - 5 years, so I don't want to do anything too permanent. • I am not much of a carpenter, nor are most of my friends particularly crafty. • My budget is, of course, tiny. The stats: • 13'8" x 10'5" • ceiling height = 7'3" • closet (5'10" x 2' 1") can be removed A very bad drawing is attached (bear with me, I'm on a Mac). Thanks in advance to all the contributors on this great forum. B.

Here's the sketch:

I'd take the doors off the closet and build a freestanding unit that has a glass sliding pocket door in it. You can attach it to the front of the closet and you can use it as a booth. I'd then build the other units free standing also. cheers john

Thanks so much, John! I just found a friend of a friend who's a carpenter, so I might be able to pull this off! Two more issues, though: 1. The ceiling is very poorly insulated and is quite low (7'3"). 2. The floor is concrete and has to stay that way (no permanent floor covering can be installed; long story :roll:). I'm planning on using area rugs, but was wondering if there are better solutions. Thanks again. This forum has become indispensable. B.
