I would be embarrassed to post pics of my multi-million dollar theater/training room with full velodrome and attached gymnasium and sauna, but here is my much more modest setup that none of you will feel emasculated by.
Show us your lame winter avoid-at-all-costs-until-the-scale-tips-north training room.

Looks just like mine, except I went no expenses spared and put a $20 fan in the front of my bike. I would like to have a velodrome in my house, but somehow it just won't fit with the drag strip in the way!

The Droid Incredible pictures actually weren't bad at all. Great photos of your room(s).

WaterRower. I like it because it is smoother than the CII, more compact, and much MUCH quieter.

FWIW, I also have a trainer for my bike (1UP https://www.1upusa.com ), but I thought I'd post something not everyone else has/sees.

This is our indoor trainer setup for our his n hers Trek Madones. A CycleOps Jet Fluid Pro and a Kinetics Rock and Roll. We LOVE LOVE LOVE the Rock and Roll!
It's nice to finally have a valid use for the living room we never used!

Throw the stick!!!!
Made some progress on my training room. Still have a bunch of cleaning to do. Got rid of the tall computer stand and got a shorter one, also replaced one of the monitors so that I would have two 22" monitors. I mounted both monitors and the 32" tv to the wall to try to get everything as low as possible to relieve strain on my neck while riding the trainer.
Before.
After.

It's a combination shop/training facility & "get away from the munchkins pod".
Furnished with A/C, a mini-fridge, a microwave, a Cyclone fan in front of the
Kurt Kinetic Rock & Roll Trainer w/mat & riser block and a gorgeous view
of some West Virginia Mountains which are beautiful when snowed on.
Tech: iPod hooked up to a Bosch Stereo and a 42" flat screen in the works.
BTW BJP...nice bike.
(preview pic)
But this'll be my winter playground with the MTB...

You must have attention deficit issues.

Doesn't everyone? I find that time goes by much faster when I am watching a good action movie or a horror movie. A few episodes of Family guy or My Name is Earl also helps when I'm suffering on the trainer. I am able to take a quick look down at the computer monitor to see how much longer the current hill is when I feel like I am about to die.

Not legit enough. You don't ride enough. This is because you are both still rocking color-matched regular road tires. If you had a dedicated trainer tire because you rode so much that you work down your regular tires, it makes the whole setup legit.

Interestingly, the cause of boredom riding indoors isn't the lack of scenery. In fact, it isn't even actually boredom. While having some entertainment can distract you enough to make indoor riding more tolerable, it's more of a clumsy partial solution to the problem.
