So- this is the home gym- aka: mudroom, aka: sports area: aka: hats/scarfs/mittens area, aka: place to store dog leases, bird food, Anna's scooter. Get the picture. It's actually one of my most favorite rooms in the house, solely based on 'feeling' vs. 'function'. Don't get me wrong, it's totally a functional room- it's a 6.5 foot wide x 15 foot long spot to house all kinds of things, stuff, hockey sticks, sidewalk chalk, bird food, muddy garden boots, umbrellas, and so on. BUT- the room has this very calm and relaxing feeling to it. The walls are a soft cream [philadelphia cream, to be exact!] with a bright white for trim, windows and doors. The ceiling- is a color I used in the upstairs bathroom= that I love. It's called Seaspray, and it reminds you just of that. The sea. I always mix it up- and call it: Sea Glass, because somehow this seems more fitting. Once- after a treadmill mishap- as I was laying on my back, on the floor- after being catapulted from the treadmill- just laying there.... partly in shock, partly in pain....this is when I noticed how super calming this room was. It was all about the ceiling. Just staring up, admiring wide plank wood, the calming color, hoping the light wasn't going to come crashing down on me next. It was a pretty magical moment in time. Clearly- the only thing that would make the mudroom/home gym a million times better would be the
Nordic Track C2500 Treadmill!!! Yes- this would greatly improve the whole room, the atmosphere, the look-feel of the place:) Oh well... I picture us buying a log-splitter before a new treadmill were to ever come about. Mine still rolls, just doesn't keep track of speed, time or distance. There could be worst things in life, this I know- but a girl can still dream about the lovely treadmill that is i-pod happy:) and has speakers and a fan : ahhhhhh!!!!
