[wait? Are you getting a whole room for this and a "blank" slate? I'd go with some doors/planks and set them on cabinets--file drawers/night stands/ etc and be sure at the height that works for you so your back doesn't get achey. Then I'd put another table (large) for cutting--my cutting table is actually a drafting table so it's higher than a regular table and doesn't hurt and I like that I can walk all the way around it. Again--what works for you. Then I'd put another wall of cabinets--preferably lower ones with regular doors to block out the messier stuff and maybe glass doors on top so I can see the fabric (but not where the sunlight would bleach it). A presenter at Guild today showed us picture of her workroom--she had regular shelves and then tacked clear plastic (from WallyWorld)over them so that dust was kept out. Lots of lighting and plug-ins(preferably at waist height so that I didn't have to bend to use them!) and a space for a big ironing board! And an easy chair and table so I could take a break with a cuppa' and some music or tv, plus a phone so I didn't have to toddle down the stairs when it rang! And a bathroom convenient!
