I wish I took a picture of it while I was still at home - luckily I/we have a 13x14ft room that is the official "Formal Livign Room" that I commondeared as my studio and put up background stands, saw-horses and a board, and my lights on stands. This is a shot I just took and quickly put together (badly, yes - it was quick - and that's MY wife playing WoW - it never ends!) - my camera would be from this POV directly facing the setup.

It was pretty tight, but I managed to be able to light and shoot a lot of product photography as I built enough clientelle to rent a warehouse space (I now have a 20x40 shooting space - VERY happy to have the room!). It's now our office (obviously) - I used to have 2 workstations t home, now I'm down to just 1.

I know it's pretty tight in your kitchen, but you've got enough space to shoot small to medium sized product (from jewelry to shoes) so keep going until you can "move out"! They'll never stop coming up with new jewelry designs, so find yourself some clients!
Good luck-
