Join me in building the A2K Dream House. Suggest any outrageous amenities you would include if money were no object. I'm starting with a gift wrapping room, stocked with rolls of paper and ribbons in every color, and a big counter-high worktable with cubbies and bins for storage underneath.
I'd want my own bedroom, that's for sure!

And probably with a lock on the door if A2Kers reside there!
We will probably need bunny doors (like doggie doors) too!
Yes, a lock would be a good idea. And yes, too, about pet doors. All sorts of them, I think.
Pet doors would be a necessity.
I would like a wonderful patio with misters for the hot dry weather we have out here and plenty of room for a naturalized garden to attract wildlife--a2kers included.
I'd like a feature that automatically announced who was at the front door (retna scanning feature i guess) so that visitor screening would be allowable.
Thank you.
also, we'll need a "gustav alert" installed...
also,
a great big fenced in backyard complete w/ ulta-special swingset/jungle gym for the
a2kerlets (the wee ones need accommadation too)
A huge galley kitchen with separate full size stainless steel fridge and freezer, walk in pantry, three sinks, one on each end of the center counter, three gas ovens with electric broilers and a professional gas range, super capacity dishwasher, microwave, Cuisinart, Kitchenaide mixer, bread rising "room", counters covered in Corian except for one large piece of marble for candy making, lots and lots of storage space filled with All Clad stainless cookware and plenty of wood and stainless utensils. To compliment this I would like two outdoor grills, one large gas grill and another charcoal/smoker unit.
Am I missing anything?
Shelving space--lots and lots and lots of bookshelves. Housemates who put books away according to my system would also be a highly desirable feature.
I think it has to have a rooftop deck, suitable for watching the skies and the rest of the world go by.
I want a ground floor suite with its own courtyard entrance and three dedicated parking spaces for guests.
SPECS: My suite should include a large bedroom and an attached sitting room/library with a window seat looking out on the courtyard and its fountain. Frescoed ceilings, of course, and Venetian chandeliers to match the mirrors and light fixtures in the bathroom. The bath should be Italian tile and marble. I want an extra-large whirlpool tub next to a see-thru fireplace on the wall shared by the bedroom, so I can enjoy the fire from either place. Extra-deep carpeting in the bedroom and sitting room/library, please. Oriental carpets in the bath over the marble floor. Please locate suite near the kitchen of the house for easy late-night access.
I know what I'm missing, a large vegetable and herb garden out back, and some fruit trees to boot. Sorta like my house now, only lots BIGGER and newer.
Personally, I'd like dsl, a mac, a great chair, small fridge... in my computer room. Oh, yeh, dog cushion...

Uh, me too! In pale green and cream tones, please with fragrant flowers in the courtyard.
To hell with DSL, I want dark fiber, a Cisco switch router and GBE to every room.
speaking as a floridian...
oceanfront? house this huge?
we'll have to have some major storm protection....
I'll share a bedroom, but I want my own bathroom.
A workshop with all the drills, and routers, and saws ...
A sunrise view over the bay.
Who said anything about Florida, dear?
Who said anything about USA for that matter?
One of the tiny Greek Islands would be nice.
