Lots of great suggestions here. Lots of scope for the dream garage suggestions too :)

( I'd have light coloured floor and walls, milling machine, lathe, and tig welder).

But back to reality I would suggest as many cabinets and shelving as you can fit in. Having somewhere to store parts and tools, easily, sure takes the pressure off the inevitable work bench un tidiness.
