Our New Home Gym And More
Despite all my years I still feel like a little boy inside. I have a hard time peering into the mirror and recognizing a fully realized mature man. I would have thought the delivery of my second child might have changed it, but I still appear to be in self-denial of the aging process.
In regards to aging — or instead fighting it off — my dear wife and I moved into a new home and this house possesses enough room in its basement for a exercise room my dear wfe had always sought. I’m seeing dollar signs when I consider the many big and small things required, from the essential but oft-neglected benches for weight-lifting and mats for exercise to selecting the best exercise bike. A stationary bike can be tricky these days. Do you go with a recumbent or an upright stationary bike? Should I select an electronic or analog?
And then my dear wife appears set on getting one of those elliptical machines as well. You read that accurately. A stationary bike and an elliptical trainer — not just one or the other. My guess is that the extra exercise equipment goes with the stretch mark cream she started utilizing after she bore our youngest child. I may regret that jest.
I must be careful with the budget because our new house is more of a fixer-upper. We required it to be this way, but we still have to cautiously budget every little thing, even to a knob for a cabinet (I’m not kidding). My wife has a pretty ambitious kitchen cabinet refacing design planned, but I have to remind her the bathroom sinks she wishes put in shall set us back a fair amount, too.
Gratefully, we both like the rustic, natural style, so we’re furnishing our new home with furniture which is unfinished. It still needs some polishing off, but she and I can keep the expenses down and create better furniture than we might find anywhere anyways.
I found a nice coffee table with some nice, natural knotting and a sideboard table in matching oak. For our outdoor patio we are researching outside fireplaces and we will go with a little budget furniture made with wicker at first.
Furnishing a new home may seem so adult, but I can’t help but feel like I am just playing house. The new exercise equipment and furniture just feel like a new generation of playthings.
