If you could add a completely unnecessary convenience to your home what would it be?

A laundress, who would also drop off and pick up the dry cleaning. Really, is that too much to ask for? :)

@bythebay Decadence…pure decadence ;)

Either something that makes the perfect cup of tea as soon as I wake up or, similar to @bythebay, a washer set into the floor of my room, so that when I shed clothing, I just drop it on the floor, as usual, but it goes into the washer immediately! I mean, really, that would make my life much better.

A Cinema.

One of those vacume systems built into the house. My sister in law has one and I am so jealous!!

@basp My sister had one installed in her old house. That would really be nice.

A remote control to move the television remote control closer to you.

I’m with empresspixie. The perfect cup of tea in the morning would be pure bliss.

@Mr_M I know a guy who has a remote control fireplace

@Harp, doesn’t surprise me. Years ago Radio Shack sold these wireless remote control modules you can plug into a wall then plug a device into. They even had modular wall light switches.Then you had this control box.

From my easy chair, I could turn on ALL the lights in the house (even the OUTDOOR lights), make them blink or dim, turn on the stereo, even turn on the Christmas lights.

@ mr. M. That is amazing. I would turn my childs ( if I had one) light off remotely. What fun!

Actually, I think other companies still make them.

And you could buy more then one control box, so I had one in the basement and one on the bedroom floor.

I’d like liquid crystal windows, that could go transparent or opaque electronically my cats systematically wreck anything resembling blinds or curtains (for that matter, kevlar-upholstered furniture would be nice, too) They’d be programmed to go opaque at nightfall, and programmable to go gradually transparent at a certain time in the morning, for a gentle weekend wake-up.

@ harp. I have those!!!! They are amazning!!! I can’t program them but they are marvelous because I live right downtown and people always look in my windows! I higly reccomend them

One of these to cook, clean, do the laundry, make beds, mow the lawn, shovel the snow…. You get the picture.

I would also really love a laundry shoot, the only problem is I live in a single story house.

@SuperMouse: Exactly! The laundry just dissapears…

@berocky1 Honestly? Wow, I was just daydreaming!

self-cleaning kitty litter box.

I need a robot for the kitchen.. a robot who knows how to cook and how to clean up would be just perfect.

A monkey butler that would live in a tree house in the backyard.

A trampoline that I would use instead of stairs.

An electric, variable speed, back scratcher.

@Harp My cats detroy blinds as well! So frustrating!

I would want a fancy coffee maker, to make whatever I ask for in the morning. Maybe I want that right now, because I’m having trouble waking up.

My boss’s parent’s house actually has a brass firehouse pole- it’s a huge house, and they had 11 kids! The pole comes complete wth requisiite black fireman’s hat.

I want a Roomba :>)

@casheroo Ever read any of the Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon books by Spider Robinson? They have just the coffeemaker you are looking for :>)

^^^ Dude is posting sites not in English! TROLL ALERT!!!!! ^^^

And he’s doing it in a FEW questions.

Marked as spam. S’all good. The mods will see.

I promise the troll isn’t blondesjon, he’s working. Plus, it wasn’t Finnish. :)

I would add an idoor swimming pool with as pool boy to care for it. I love to go swimming!!!

I want a hidden staircase that leads to a hidden tower room where I can get away from the chaos.

It has to be wired so that if someone is hollering for me I will know where that person is and my responce will come out a speaker on the opposite side of the house. Also a camera to be sure it is safe to exit without detection.

Inside will be my music, great books, a paint kit, a tv with a remote of my own.

Oh and a fridge stocked with good wind and fine cheeses.

I ask for so little

*Alas- I meant good wine and fine cheeses.

I’d love to have a big garage. It would be great for parking my car and putting all of crap in!

A skating rink, of course.

Personal chef. I hate to cook.

I bet Judi’s wishing for an automatic response crafter :)

@Harp Funny- I wonder where she ran off to and how long before her computer goes to sleep

judi’s will be the greatest answer of all

@Judi: it’s been hours; we’re all on the edge of our seats; we can hardly breathe; what Judi, what…is…your…answer…?

tease

She is just toying with our emotions.

Another jelly has been abducted. Quick, contact her fluther buddy!

Ahhhh! I can’t take it! Judi, for goodness’ sake, POST!

She’s gone!

POOF!

IT CAN’T END LIKE THIS!

what happened?! where did she go?!?!

Damn, even I checked back every couple of hours…

Another mystery unsolved:(

I was waiting for some mind bending frivolous convenience…....damnit all!!

A clapper (clap on, clap off) for the TV remote.

sorry guys. The aliens just put me back after informing me that I already have enough gadgets to choke a chicken. I am not allowed any more. The abduction was relatively painless. My ears were popping in reentry though.

@EmpressPixie and @beroky1, The Keruig coffee pot comes pretty darn close to the perfect cup of tea and practically instantly.
