I have a gym membership that is great but it is more of a backup plan
I closed in my deck with vinyl siding and windows with vinyl trim. Installed Aluminum doors, the ceiling and walls are made up or done with shiplap boards that had the polyurethane finish prior to installation.
I cut up old plastic orange juice bottles to store nuts, bolts, nails, miscellaneous fastners, etc. It is cheap and the clear material makes it is easy to organize and very visible. They also store easily on the 1x6 boards above the big cabinet style tool box.You could always put carpet on the floor with a cushiony padding underneath. Be a lot easier to stand on for extended periods. It would make it difficult to drag the proposed retractable wheels on the bench but everything is a trade off. Lighting seems a wee bit sparse too. Thinking you could consider new led lighting on dimmer switches could be a nice touch. Maybe even some you can change color or better still, ones that rotate colors. Now that would really dres it up in there. Add some class.
On a more serious note, back in the day, after retirement, when I had a workshop, I place a lot of stuff on the walls and in many cases made small brackets/holders for them. Helped pass the time and making the holders gave something to do on days when weather sucked. Of course, a good sound system and collection of Merle Haggard cd's are a game changer as well.
Just trying to think of ways to assist in spending your money.
Have a 10ish x 12ish section of linoleum like what's on the bench. Was planning on putting it in the new section. Since I seem to constantly be dragging stuff around, that would get ripped first week. Likely just paint the floor grey. Possibly paint the interior walls white for light reflection. Need to move couple of those LED lights up in the loft on a seperate switch. Or not. Definitely need to empty the lofts and sort thru stuff.You could always put carpet on the floor with a cushiony padding underneath. Be a lot easier to stand on for extended periods.

Really need to fabricate some storage for tools. Maybe end up in the rolling dresser or vanity? I hate pegboard. Have enough to hang most of my junk I just hate dealing with it.
