so i converted the dining room into a computer room now there heaps of room lol
was using some of the dinning table chair till i found some office chair.came across a bargain in st clair at a front yard sale with 6 near new chair fully ajustable for $40 each




















after finishing the coimputer room and painting rest of the house i had another taskj on my hands to convert the bottom rumpus room into a gym since all my kids are into muay thai

Thats one hell of a computer room, lots of desk space & storage space, must be so nice, well done.

Your gym looks sweet too, I've got a Treadmill, Spin Bike & Weight Set in the back of my lounge room (its a large long room).. Really need to use it all more..

Wow love the computer room, I did something similar in the spare bed room, but not quite as good as that....

The gym is awsome, I have a gym as well with weight sets, exercise bike and cross trainer, which at the moment doubles as a cloths line ....I must start using it and get rid of this beer gut :
