A nacho cheese fountain.
A special guest room for when Fran Drescher and Charles Schaugnessy come for a visit.
A stadium kitchen like the one on Iron Chef, so the pros can come and give us cooking demonstrations at my house.
A zen room, that is really a room within a room. The inner part would have a tin roof, and the outer part would have a recirculating water feature, so that it appeared like it was always raining on the roof and down the windows (there would be a button you could push if you wanted to add thunder sounds and simulated lighting strikes outside of the window. Outside of the window, it would appear that you were in a redwood, fern forest, although those things would actually be inside the bigger room. Inside the room would be a comfy sofa and a book case filled with books that I have yet to read (that have been suggested to me by my friends and Flutherites, knowing my taste). At one end of the cozy room would be a big stone fireplace (one of those kinds you can actually walk into, with a kettle hanging over it (just in case I want to heat up some apple cider or vegetrian chili) There would be lots of lights that could be dimmed and set to flicker if I wanted the appearance of candle light. Then there would be a simple, yet super soft bed, just in case I wanted to sleep in the rain room. There would be a bathroom inside the zen room that looks similar to this one And of course there would be a digital, surround sound speaker system so I could play my collection of relaxing music. Also there would be 2 deluxe massage tables just in case I wanted to invite a friend over for a comforting massage. These could be folded up and stored away in a lovely custom built cedar cabinet, so as not to clutter up the place. Then there would be a specially made cabinet filled with lidded bottles filled with pine needles, cedar shavings, cardamom pods, cinnamon, dried graprefruit rinds and certain essential oils that I like. So I can bust out whatever scent I’m in the mood for on any particular day.
And I think I would like an indoor herb solarium, so I could grow all sorts of fresh herbs like chives and cilantro and parsley and basil. Like this.
And one wing of the house would be designed like a mid-century home and would be filled with things like raffia thermal cups, pastel colored 60’s era Tupperware, wicker and black wire chairs, pole lamps with conical fiberglass lampshades, kidney shaped coffee tables and and a closet full of vintage 1960’s era clothes that actually fits me!
And an Olympic sized ice skating rink, with one entire wall of windows looking out onto an evergreen forest. Inside the rink, near the wall of windows would be a shiny new airstream trailer, just in case I wanted to pretend like I was camping. There would be a vented stone fireplace near the trailer for my campouts as well as to warm us up after skating. Kind of like the one at Yellowstone Lodge
All througout the house would be little cubbys and pantries and mini fridges filled with snacks from Trader Joe’s. Like Trader Joe’s Thai Lime and Chili Cashews and Salt and Vinegar Potato Chips and Peanut Butter Pretzels and Greek style mango yogurt
