Welcome to the board from Southern California!

A cutting table at a great height for you!!!
If you can sink your machine into a desk or table and have a way to extend said desk or table when doing the quilting stitches is very very helpful on your back and shoulders.
Good cutting mat, I like the 24 x 36 size.
Definitely something to store your fabrics in. Best is out of sunlight but I love to just look at my fabrics. I have mine in cabinets that I can just open the doors and step back and see it all!
Good lighting. An Ott light Floor lamp is good to use in various places. I have one over my machine and one at my cutting table.
A nice chair with rollers and no arms. I can roll from my machine to my ironing board, which I frequently set low as to iron from my chair and then over here to the computer or the cutting table. Helps if you have a hard type floor.
