Did the same thing about 6 mos. ago. My best investment was adjustable shelves that were 8' tall (ceiling is 10'). All my furniture is white, including shelves which are only 11" deep. Perfect size for fabric wrapped boards (and no wasted space). Large moveable cutting table, 2 sewing tables, easy to clean floor and lots of natural light. I noticed you won't have windows...I also added lots of pot lights. I love my room. It's a happy place!
