patsylabrador Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Love my kids but after all these years I have a spare room. I claimed first dibs years ago and said it would be my room. At first I was going to make it into a very feminine guest room but I discourage that kind of behaviour and so it would be wasted. Then I thought I would have a craft room but I'm not really into crafting and although I have a lot of sock wool it's not enough to fill a room. So- I've made myself a gym. It's painted white and blue with a pine cabinet. I've got an exercise bike and the treadmill comes tomorrow. There's room for the wii fit and my walking/cycling DVD s. I wanted it to be feminine so I've added baskets of Hot Stones, lavender and soaps and a bale of white towels. It's a mix between a gym and a spa. The room is south facing so bright and sunny and I love it.......and of course I'll share it. If the men treat it nicely. It's my favourite room to be in.

Grandmashazzie Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 What a great idea,sounds lovely.Did you ever think of learning reflexology or aromatherapy? You have a perfect space.A friend did both courses a few years ago at the local college and really enjoyed it.So did we,as she used us to practice on.

soapdragon Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 PL, do you have anyone locally who does mobile massage? Sounds like you have the perfect location for it! I am very envious of your sanctuary ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 You better sling the exercise equipment and get some couches. I'm coming in my fluffy gown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 OK, so I'm thinking......shall I evict MS from his attic room which I covet? I will make that a dedicated spa with room for massage, wine and cakes. I will supply fluffy white bathrobes and towelling slippers. The exercise equipment can then be ignored as we pass by.

HarrisonFamily Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Keep the exercise equipment - then I can have a quick 5 minute bike ride and not feel guilty for having 2 cakes....and wine to keep me rehydrated.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I have visions of your spare room - and the attic space - bursting at the seams! Cake crumb fallout all over the neighbourhood! Now if you let your menfolk in there to exercise, it will pong to high heaven and possibly even a peg on your nose won't disguise the aroma! Enough to put everyone off cake and cuppas!
