Home Gym Makeover

This home gym has the basics, but since they do all of their exercising at home, the homeowners want to take it up a few notches. With five easy DIY projects in one weekend, DIY expert Monica Mangin creates a bright stylish space with all the amenities of a real gym. See the details of this home gym makeover in this Lowe’s video:

1. The existing carpeting was replaced with wood laminate flooring which will help keep the gym more sanitary.

2. A wall treatment of painted symmetrical stripes in five colors adds style and whimsy to the space.

3. Covering the storage cabinet doors with faux drawer fronts stained in combined espresso and gray gives this furniture piece a vintage look.

4. Two builder-grade 36×60 standard mirrors were framed out with stained pine and mounted on one wall along with a staircase railing that serves as a stretching bar.

5. A DIY stand made from black pipe and 2×6’s and stained in combined espresso and gray organizes weights and keeps them away from the kid’s play area.
