This is my home studio, otherwise known as the kitchen.
There are notes on the photopage describing the setup.

Here is mine.
It's a spare room I've dedicated to being a studio. We just moved in a couple weeks ago so I'm still setting it up. It's all DIY. The room itself is 11ft wide and about 35ft long. The backdrop area is 9ft wide with only a 7ft ceiling. The backdrops are both Muslin (Though king size sheets would work just as easy.), one dyed crimson red, and the other is a hand painted work in progress (Just started it today.). They are each hung from 1/2 inch metal (not pvc) conduit pipes/tubes secured to the ceiling with the brackets that fit them (Made for attaching to a wall. Sits on the same shelf as the pvc fittings.) I can add as many rails as I need. They all stash away in the changing room. (I had this strange built in nook that I had no other use for. Made for a perfect changing room.) I hung a twin size sheet from a curtain tension rod to make the door/wall. You can see my DIY softbox on top of my DIY light stand. The small metal stand was an old music book stand with the top left off, the tip hammered flat and a 1/4 X20 bolt ran through it for a short, yet somewhat adjustable Backdrop light stand.
A closer look at the BD rails.

I improvise a lot depending on the type of light and the type of space I need.
I have a larger area in the basement (if I move my wife's weight bench) for use with strobes. It's squeezed in next to my hunting storage area and bicycle repair workshop.
I have various ways of using backgrounds- a portable set up or a slide projection screen mounted on the wall that can roll up out of the way.
An early example of some work there:
I use the kitchen counter sometimes, if it suits me and the subject better:
A result:
The kitchen counter comes in handy for natural, south window light, too:
If I want natural, north window light for something small I'll use the end of my desk or the ironing board and tape a seamless to the wall.
One of those shots:
Thanks for this series Udi. I'm following it with great interest hoping to get more ideas.

This is my setup. All against one wall in my bedroom. Flash and softbox were mounted on the door using super clamp. The subject was on a waist-high book shelf. And here are the shots:

YAY I am getting my post up :D. I take pictures in my kitchen. It's hard to do sometimes. Children are a breeze because they are small. But adults are larger and harder to fit in there.
Kitchen Before:
Kitchen After:
The backdrop is held up by the super cool studio tension rods. I still need to make two more.
And yes... I sometimes I have to clone out the silly chandelier. We are renting the place... so it has to stay.

troymguillory "30 minutes pre setup to move all the toys" - I feel your pain :) however, the results are astounding. The seam on the tile boards is invisible.

I need help, actually. I have a spare bedroom I'm planning on turning into a studio. It's about a perfect 13x13. All I have in it, right now is a corner-desk with my printer and laptop. I'm looking for inexpensive ways to set up. Lighting and background/backdrop. What do you guys recommend?
So far, I've gotten these recommendations:

DIY studio with flash mounted behind regular umbrella, wired by phone cord to camera. Background is piece of muslin. Reflector is a small white board, mounted to a tripod that came with my laser level kit.
You can have a gander at some more pics and test shots at:
