I've done 'Before & After' posts for just about every other room in the house, and just realized one of our spare bedrooms is pretty enough for a post all on its own :)
Getting our combo elliptical / recumbent bike down the end of a narrow hall was no easy feat - while it has wheels on one end, making the turn into the room was vicious...but fortunately my husband sagely realized he could remove the arms so we could wiggle it in. Whew!
The original photo from the listing (as the house was shown unfurnished) shows the bleak white they'd had literally every room painted, and trying to work out in here in that starkness was just not a good thing y'all. So after settling upon this gorgeously mellow green, it changed the whole vibe, both giving a relaxing space to focus on getting in an aerobic workout AND pulling out the yoga mat to stretch out, get loose, and meditate.
I put up my dance inspirations in one corner - my longtime framed photo of Fred Astaire, with my own ballet slippers from my early days on dance team, worn to the nub, hanging below to remind me of where I've come from and what will always be part of my soul. Beyond that, I've kept this room simple. There's no need for stuff everywhere - just a place to take care of me.
