Give Him What He Wants
jonell ziola
I've been married for awhile and my husband has always wanted a sports themed room. I guess I shouldn't be surprised - after all our first date was watching a softball game. And that was just the start. He is a bonafide fanatic for football, baseball, basketball and golf. I'm sure there are even more sports I'm overlooking right now.
When you have a busy family and the confines of a modest home it can be hard to spring a room for someone's hobbies. In our home, our two girls have taken over the most likely candidate for a hobby room as their play room. Toys are regularly thrown all over hte place. It's about as far away from a sports room as you can get.
This doesn't stop my husband from dreaming. He reasons that the kids won't play with toys forever, nor will they live with us forever (hopefully). So someday, that toy room will be all his. I believe he even has it planned down to the last detail. The theme will start with his "priceless" baseball cards and proceed to memorabilia from the football team from his alma mater, the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Of course, it will also include trophies from his softball tournaments and a big screen TV so he can watch ESPN day and night.
In the meantime, our attic and bookcases are slowly filling up with items my husband calls "collectibles" that simply cannot be discarded. After all, what will we put in his sports room once it becomes his?
I have a friend Jane who told her husband Frank that she was going to give him his dream - a sports room of his own. Ends up she decorated the master bath in a golf theme. Kind of funny when you think about it. She even got one of those really small flat screen TVs and put it up on a bathroom wall. They both got a big laugh out of it and once in awhile Frank does go into his special room to get away from the din of family life.
After laughing at my friend I realized that she's shown pure genius. I mean you give the guy a bit of room in a corner or a bathroom now - his to do with as he pleases and then whn the girls do go, that toy room is mine!
Father's day is coming soon and your sports enthusiast would love a http://www.thegolfcollection.com/desk_lamp_vintage.htm) golf lamp for his desk or a http://www.thegolfcollection.com/FOCUS.htm) golf print for his wall.
