Painting the whatchamacallit

This is what we have been up to. Painting the ______ room.  The plan calls it a club room, which just sounds goofy to me. It is a big room with a fireplace, kid’s toys & the telly.  I would like to call it a parlor.  Sounds so old fashioned.  Like we would all gather there after dinner and sing around the piano, drink tea and nibble dainty scones.  So lovely (if not a bit unreal).  Levi & the boys scoff at this. 

I say in my most dramatic voice: “children, go play in the parlor”.

They all ignore me.  It’s like I didn’t say anything at all.

Club room: sounds like you go in there to party, very mancave-ish

Entertainment room: Boring

Den: a place where lions live, dark and dingy

Family room: hmmmm

Living room: already have one of those

Play room: hmmmm

So, what would you call it?
