1) throw-out all the junk
2) Build nice selfs to get all the stuff off the floor
3) paint the walls a nice white or brite yellow
4) buy a nice compressor
5) buy basic tools and add as required
6) make sure you do all the above

I've got a small TV along with an old stereo anda few bar stools, a book shelf for all my manuals and catalogues and of course a place for all my tools, ramps etc. 
One side of my garage has Oldsmobile 442 items (along with a 442) and the other side Corvette items. Don't forget the posters! Some nice Budweiser, Coors, Molson or Labatt poster girls always spice up the place up along with the current Ridgid Calendar. :o

If you have the time and a pickaxe, put a pit in the floor...
Flourescant (spelling?) lights on the ceiling and a flourescant light on a pole on wheels that you can move around to suit yourself...
Get some of the louvred steel sheets that Maxi Bins hang on and a load of various size Maxi Bins...
A metal locker or cupboard to store stuff you don't want dust/overspray etc... to settle on...
A sink with running water and a good grease removing soap...
Make sure you have quite a few easily accessable power points...

I'm in the process of re-doing mine. I had a new floor poured and in about 30 days it'll have an epoxy finish on it. New paint on the walls, all new benches, work station, and tool boxes by Craftsman. Eight new shop lights, stereo, and of course, a mini fridge. I'll try to get pics posted when completed. Man this is fun.

I just installed Garage Tek slatwall this last weekend. It's pvc slatwall that goes up like vinyle siding. I'll email a photo to you.

One thing I found very useful was a large peg board with a ton of pegs.
They are cheap and boy did all the parts ordered get organized super quick. It is too easy to misplace stuff. Place looked like an autoparts store. Oh and one of those overhead shop lights on a spool you can pull down and use and release when done.

There are some pics here for inspiration:

Go about halfway down the page and under "Ultimate Garage - Technology & Design showcase" you'll see links to pics.
Wish I had the $$$ for that kind of garage!

Sorry it's a little cluttered, it's actually being used...
Couple of things to note:
-Plastic sheeting is duct-taped to the floor to keep the cement looking nice and aid in cleanup.
-You can never have too many shelves
-Pegboard is handy
-Put outlets everywhere
-Small project tables near your work area are handy for keeping parts somewhat clean and organized
