Clockwise starting by the door -
There are two totes and my feather weight tucked under the sewing table.
The design wall is a sheet of foam core board covered with white felt. It's small but better than the piece of batting tacked to the closet door I used to use
My stash is stored under the cutting table in rubbermaid totes and is grouped red/orange/yellow, blue, green/black, pink/purple, white on white/cream/muslin/backgrounds and tan/brown/chocolate. When I stash dive I pull out the tote color I want and literally dive. Lila usually comes from wherever she is in the house and joins in, purring and rubbing against me and the totes. I've decided I must give off a happy vibe that somehow summons her.
This is my clothes closet which doubles as project storage, the boxes are labeled, Lights to be cut, Darks to be cut, 2" squares, 2 1/2" inch squares, 1 1/2" strips - light and dark, etc.
I tried to figure out what I could get rid of to make space in the room, but I can't part with any of it. There's 30 years of fabric collecting and works-in-progress in there. Generally it's comforting to spend time in there; sometimes it's overwhelming to think about. I just try to stay focused on the project at hand and let the rest whisper to me.

A belated Happy Birthday! It's good to have light. 120 watts should make a difference... especially in a 10x10. It looks like you are quite organized, it's just that there is only so much space in 10x10. I have a really small space plus borrowed cabinets/corners all over the house. In my younger years I was a real neatnik. I had oodles of energy to keep things neat and still do the things I wanted/needed to do. Not so much now. So I have decided that I must balance the neat with doing the things I want to do. Do I want to be remembered as a neatnik or as a happy quilter/gardener/gramma? It bugs me that I can't do it all, but such are the golden years. If you know where "it" is, and your sewing room gives off happy vibes, you are blessed!
You are very organized,just like your creations! I do agree w/Lindah,when the energy is limited,I sew! Sooo nice that Nathan was very thoughtful for him Mom's Bday!
I'm impressed, your 10'x10' sewing room looks amazingly tidy after 8 years! Enjoy your new light -- the older we get, the more we need.
Great compact little sewing room! Mine is just 2 feet longer...lol!
