Narrative:
Ground control gave permission to taxi. Upon taxiing from FBO (bfi) inadvertently started to enter runway. Stopped when advised by controller and taxied back to hold short line. Had crossed hold short but had not actually proceeded onto runway itself. The taxi area crosses what appears to be FBO parking and what appears to be taxiway is actually the runway. Pilot was observant as should be, controller was paying attention and may have prevented a very serious accident. How about painting 'stop' at runway-taxiway intxns? (Not trying to excuse my error!) pilot had been to bfi only once previously.
