So a friend and I were talking about the mansions we'd build if we were suddenly imbued with huge amounts of money.
Mine would have the typical rooms -- kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, etc., but it would also contain some wacky stuff you'd never see on Cribs. Let's take a peek at the rooms in my dream house, shall we?
First up is the Mirror Room. So named because all walls, ceiling and floor would be covered with mirrors. I may make the room an unusual shape, so that it has a faceted effect. Maybe even have several panels here and there to make it a little like a fun house. The back of the door would also be a mirror, and would fit nearly seamless with the rest. Extremely disorienting. Uber-cool.
Next, is the Padded Room. This room would have nothing but plush, red, velvety cushions and padding all over. You could lounge in there all day, and waller all you want. Extremely comfortable. Uber-cozy.
The Dungeon would have stone walls and be decorated with medieval-type stuff. Swords, crests, suits of armor, tapestries, etc.
The Game Room would be one of my favorite places. There would be a big table for old-school D&D pencil/paper/dice gaming. I'd get one of those custom made tables that had a grid for miniatures. The room would also contain various game consoles and even arcade games.
My mansion wouldn't be complete without a couple of hidden rooms and secret passageways. I'm not telling you what they're for, because I'm not even sure why. I just think it would be cool to have them.
Last but not least, my mansion would have to have an honest-to-goodness turret, just like a castle. Why? Because I like castles. In fact, it would be nice to just build a castle to start with, instead of a mansion.
So, there you go. Weirdo Mom's dream house.
