Lots of shelves, a display wall, a cutting island at the right height, a U shaped table to sit and quilt in, maybe a long arm quilting machine instead (one can dream right), lighting, mini frig, microwave, coffee pot, TV, computer all at your finger tips.

Have fun decorating. Take your time and look at different stores for the furnishings. Also search the web for ideas. Good luck and post pictures along the way.

I will be making a sewing room to here shortly..I would say everything that the previous members said, plus a nice chair to just sit back and relax in.

Make sure the sun doesn't fade your fabrics! Doors on the storage units is the best solution. Or make a fabric panel for the front of open bins. Nothing worse than finding out your expensive splurge pieces have fade marks on them!
Have fun! Happy sewing!

My best recommendation is to look at other quilters spaces and see what will work for you, I went to a large home improvement center and bought several wardrobe/closet type cabinets and have been retrofitting the insides to store my supplies, I am also looking at cabinets like you would have in the kitchen for storage and a portable island so that it is portable, set up your area in such a manner that you have your machines and your ironing table in a pattern that is easy to move between, I don't have carpet so that I can roll my chair around from machine to ironing table

Thank you all so much for the ideas and suggestions. I'll post a picture when I get it all done. Virg
