Thanx, I spend a lot of time trying to get it as pleasing to the eye as it 
is to the ear, and all for cheap!  The light in the corner is a tallish 
pyramid shaped oil lamp, with red oil in it.  It's basically a glorified 
candle :)  It's so easy to set up a nice looking studio for practically no 
money, or should I say make a studio look nice for practically no money 
(there is that gear to purchase...).  Here's some of the things I used:

1. DJ table - two sheets of 3/4" mdf (20" by 54", cut at Home Depot for 
free) stacked on top of an old dresser, then covered with black fabric 
from Walmart.  Total cost - $17.00.
2. Monitor stands - milk crates covered in the same material as the Dj 
table, help together with hot glue.  Total cost - $3.50 (yeah the crates 
were nicked).
3. 2" Pseudo Acoustic foam (works well I might add)- Almost the same stuff 
you get from Auralex et al, free from local carpet store then spray 
painted to match.  Total cost $4.00.
4. Equipment table - A heavy-duty folding table spray painted black with 
some random artsy drawings on it in blue, then clear coated.  Make a 
simple skirt to hide all the cable drapped behind it for the same fabirc 
as above.  Total cost $70.00, though this is largely due to the cost of 
the table.
5. Trying to get the girlfriend to stop leavign crap in the studio (her 
half of it at least, that's her K2600XS) when you're not looking.... 
priceless.

Easy stuff to do, and it makes you feel more relaxed and artistic when 
you're working.  At least it does for me.
