I know I am repeating some of what has been said, but shelving for heavy items on the wall to the house, a pull-down ironing board with a place to store the iron inside, drawers of all sizes, curtains to cover anything that the sun can fade, bright happy colors all around, good fans or air conditioning for the summer. Those rooms can get hot. An easy floor to clean so you don't have to vacuum a lot. And a place to hang your treasured pieces that encourage you to keep going when things don't seem to be coming together the way you thought they might. A trunk for things you are thinking about and room for the largest cutting/sewing table(s) you can fit. Good Luck. Post pictures as you go. sueinbarre
