Do others also sometimes use the darkroom as a studio? I find the exclusion of light a great benefit for total control when lighting table top objects.

Out of necessity, I use the darkroom as studio. Single purpose though - copying prints to share on APUG. I have to bring in strobes and tripod and plug the faucet to prevent accidental introduction of water to the set. It's a bit of effort so I don't do it that often and it's why you haven't seen recent prints. I don't feel like breaking it down and doing it until I get several prints spotted.
Actually, my motivation to setup Studio Mode is stalled because I have a backlog of negatives that I'm excited to see as finished prints.
The bad thing is that my bed on the conner of the room can make models a bit worried at the beginning (as if the bed would make any difference if I had second intentions).
But soon they realise how pathetic I am and they are comfortable again.
I have a 700 sq' loft, meaning no rooms, just a bathroom with a door. My bed is next to the kitchen and my shooting place extends from there, sinks and enlargers at room front.
Everything in one room. I also have the entire space lit by LED red light 24/7.
I fool with film in the bathroom.

zero daylight, I have to open my front door to see what is happening outside.
