Sounds like you've got the drywall thing down for the walls. Just use furring strips and add some 1/2in foam insulation. On the floor I'd look at the composite cork flooring like I did in our basement... makes for a soft and warm surface (perfect for sock feet and a closet).
If the pipes up near the ceiling are the kind of pipes to which you need access, then I'd suggest a suspended ceiling. I have done that type of install, and in a small space that shouldn't be too difficult at all. Thereby you can maintain the needed access to the pipes. You'll just need approx. 1.5-2 in clearance above the top of the panels in order to get them in or out.
What about light in the closet? Options are a can system incorporated into the ceiling (more difficult), or just a socket on one wall with a pull chord. Depends on how "public" this closet will be.

There already is a light in there and I will put the sheet rock around it.
Im not gonna be doing any electrical work.
