Designing and Decorating Pole Room
-
Im in the middle of a renovation. Since i still live with my parents. They offered he garage to me for my dance space. But our garage is full of junk. And it would cost more for me to convert it into a studio than anything else. Since they won’t let me touch any other room(even though they don’t even use most of them nor have guest) i decided to just create space in my bedroom. I sold half of my clothing collection n dressers just for space. I purchased several cheap long mirrors from lowes theyre about 6$ each. And small DIY shelves for my dance shoes. I have so much more space. I still plan on installing track lights they’re about $40. N hard wood floors. We might have wood left over from when we built the house, IF not…then stained bamboo floors is a nice alternative, its a “green solution, looks great, and is actually quite cheap

I bought two equipment mats from walmart. They are by gold's gym and I use them under my Star Stand Alone. Im looking to add sheets or something to in order to hide the basic garage stuff. I love the garage!

I should have updated this a while ago so thanks for bumping it!
We made some decisions on how to decorate the space and I am very happy with it so far, though i am not finished. But its a process, ya know..
Since we have decided that the space is a muli-purpose area, we went with the professional gym rubber flooring. Its easy to clean, protects the concrete floor and looks very good in the space. I also have found that I no longer need the rubber skid pad that Lil Mynx suggests under their poles, since basically the whole floor is a rubber pad. This stuff is not cushy though. It is rock hard. So now i am looking at crash pad options.
I bought mirrors from home depot, spent 150 bucks for their 3×5's and 1 smaller one. I have one set of curtains that i hung up to hide the "storage" area, bought at walmart, rod and curtain set around 10 – 15 bucks. I have a room screen that will go up to hide the tools, it needs new hinges though so I need to get on that.
I have added a TRX and mount, aerial yoga hammocks (from aerialempowerment.com), Spin bike, power rack, weights and 2 benches, and turned our old baby crib into a kids art center since I first posted. Im not done with it, i add something as i can. Overall i am happy with the space so far, though i have some more plans to work on. I will have to add a picture

Where did u get your room screen and do u have a pic of it? I hung a king sized sheet over my "storage area" that houses all of our beach chairs and bike racks. Im probably going to add another one on top, but ill need a ladder to get to that part of the wall!

I am thinking about getting a photographer's backdrop set up……like veena uses in a lot of her vids. That would take care of the garage look for photos!

As far as mirrors (there was some thread a week or so ago about cheap mirrors) I went to Target and bought 3 $6 mirrors. They can kind of look like funhouse mirrors, but they're not too bad and they get the job done. They don't come with any hooks or anything so I got some command strips for hanging heavy pictures and frames. I used 4 per mirror. Each pack of 4 was about $4 so in total I spent about $30. Not too bad considering I didn't need to put any holes in the wall and they were up in about 10 minutes!
