Really nice design!

About the pull out garbage can, I have seen this on other taborets. My two cents worth says I would rather have a pull out pantry-stye drawer for storage of bottles, cans, jars, brushes, rags --- even paint, before I would want to use up that space for something so portable as a garbage can. For oil painters, it could even house a pull-out wet canvas storage drawer.


If I were to design my own pastel taboret/workstation, it would have 1.5-2" drawers or swing-out trays to hold my pastels on both sides. I would also have a removable tray or fabric top that I could take outdoors to shake off the pastel dust. If I wanted to really outdo myself, I would make the drawers with lift-out trays for my pastels, so they could be easily cleaned, straightened, and perhaps even dropped into a custom carrier for workshops and other out-of-studio events. But then, I don't even have a studio, or room for a taboret! But it is fun to dream, especially using the great designs of others as a starting point!
