Oh, save us from bad colors...

Let me introduce you to what used to be our youngest son's bedroom. Painted in all it's glory in Denver Bronco blue and orange. Not bad colors for a boy's bedroom, but very bad colors for an exercise room.
 
 
 
When the youngest requested one of the bedrooms in the basement, we readily agreed. With my arthritis, it was extremely painful to go up and down the stairs to work out. So I never did. Which was a shame - we have a Bowflex, a treadmill, and an elliptical machine. All of which I love using.
 

 
The room upstairs is a good size. It's roomy, it has a big window (but the blue and orange make it feel so dark) and it's right next to my bedroom - total bonus for me. We even decided we could get more room if we tore down the closet, so we did.



Poor Lolo, always just going along with my home improvement projects. I think he secretly loves them, but always just makes it seem like he is humoring me. Whatever - as long as it gets done I don't care in the slightest.
 
 
 
 
So, my vision for this room is contrasting shades of gray. Light gray in the background, with dark gray stripes. Oh, and a permanent home for our really cool collection of Marilyn Monroe stuff.
