Home Gym: Shine On

Tal and I recently added this floor lamp to our home gym:

I loved the reasonable price, lacquer finish, and coastal flair. Plus, the lamp is sturdy and heavy, so Savannah can't knock it over easily. Most importantly, it provides 200 watts of much-needed light to our home gym, which doesn't get much daylight:

Here's a look at how Tal and I are making our gym more functional and attractive: 

• paint the room a brighter color
• install TV above elliptical
• remove the hanging light
• install a ceiling fan to circulate air and keep the room cool
• add a floor lamp that provides more lighting
• create a spot for Savannah (with a bean bag and/or table and chairs) to play while Mommy and Daddy exercise
• add artwork or mirrors
• hang curtains?
