Hey, guys! I am so excited to share this project with you. It was something that I should've done a long time ago, but it took being at home for 3 months to make it a priority. I think the outcome shows what a huge impact just a few changes can make in a small space. With the help of a few new things from the Better Homes & Gardens line at Walmart, my home office sitting area now doubles as a small home gym area. I absolutely love the way it turned out.
There were just a few things I needed to transform this space. A large mirror, a durable area rug and a storage space that would hide all my workout gear! The Better Homes & Gardens line at Walmart had everything I needed and their reasonable prices worked well with my budget.
I went with a beautiful, but durable, outdoor rug for this space. The great thing about this rug is I can take it outside and hose it down if need be. The colors and pattern go perfectly with the other furniture and decor I already had in this space.

I also purchased this gorgeous, tufted storage ottoman for style and functionality. It is a great place to store all my workout gear and can be easily moved out of the way when it is time to work out. The tufting and nail-head trim add interest to the space and the size was perfect! I absolutely love the way it looks in this room!

Cozy, textured pillows keep the room looking warm and inviting! I have a feeling I might spend more time relaxing in this space than working out!
The last big item I added is leaning mirror. The metal, rivet details tie in well with the nail-head trim on my ottoman and chairs and I love the barnwood color finish.

Another bonus to adding the mirror is that it makes the space look a lot bigger!
I kept the decor simple since it will be moved frequently. The galvanized tray makes it simple to move when I need to access my weights! The cute wood and ceramic pieces are actually oil diffusers and keep the room smelling wonderful! I added a candle holder I already had to complete the look. Simple accessories can make a huge difference!

Since I think every room needs a natural touch, I brought in a pretty planter and fern. I love the terrazzo design on the planter and the colors are perfect in here!

Now the room is complete and functions as both a little workout area and an office sitting area, I feel like I will use it so much more! Jut proof you do not have to have a huge space to make a big impact...sometimes you just have to get creative!
Now I have no excuse to skip a workout...
Having such a pretty space to be in will hopefully keep me motivated to get my workouts in!
I am so glad I got the project completed and this room functions as so much more than my office now. Everything I added goes so well with the desk area in this space, too!
Don't be discouraged if you live in a smaller home or have a small area in your room that is unused...you will be surprised at what you can achieve by adding a few new items that fit your needs! Always work with the space you have and make the most if it! I highly recommend checking out the Better Homes & Gardens line at Walmart for your next project!
