Buying and owning a home would probably be one of the most major dreams and goals of many people. It is probably the most difficult to attain because you will have to save a lot of money to be able to buy one. But I can imagine the pleasure of buying your own house would be great. Now if for example you are already capable of buying your own house, what types of entertainment would you want in your house? I asked this because you know entertainment are those that makes you feel most joy and fun, so it would be good to see different ideas about this.

Having your own pool would be really nice. Beside the pool I can imagine it would be great to have a pool table as well where you can play billiards with your friends and family. Add it with a side bar where you can have 'moderate' drinks once in a while. It would be nice to have a sauna near the pool where you can sweat and get rid of body toxins. Nice idea!

I would love to have a nice big screen tv in a theater like room. A nice big pool, with a huge water fountain.I would also love to have a bowling alley inside. Also if it was possible a go kart track. I think that would be my dream house. I doubt I can every afford it but that would be my nice dream house.

Well as they say, if you have to dream might as well dream big. For me, I think there is nothing impossible in this world and the more we believe something to be possible, it would be so for us. It's interesting you're into go karting and bowling. I love bowling in the past but was never good at it...anyway, that is a nice idea. For me because I love tennis more, a tennis court in my backyard might be more desirable for me.

That idea of yours about your own room with a television set, watching your favorite movies for a long time and with a mini bar close at hand would be nice indeed! In Korea they have this what they call 'mega tv' wherein you can even watch shows that have finished a week ago or so, so whenever you are following a drama on tv and you failed to watch it the whole week, with the mega tv you can replay them and watch them but you have to pay some amount to do so. That could be a good tv to have, but I don't think we have it here in my country yet.

For me, I would love to have an internet in my house so that I can do whatever I wanted to do like surfing, chatting, and I will be updated of new music videos and movies of my favorite artist. Off course, there should be a nice room for my television set where I can stay for a long time watching my favorite movies and that room should include a mini bar inside where I can relax while watching movies.

Indoor pool, billiard table & few poker tables... I don't really watch tv that much & I'm happy with listening to my iPod for music so I don't really need that much...

Well I think technology and gadgets has already gone a long way, and this is really an era of technology and many people find gadgets (including me) as already a complete source of entertainment. Although for me, if I have a lot of children it would still be good to have a big screen tv around for everyone's enjoyment and pleasure.

I would love to have them as well...I would love to have breakfast beside the pool, have delicious coffee while reading the news while the sun is shining with silence around but the sound of the birds chirping and the leaves rustling...serene.

Wow, congratulations! Do you plan to stay in the new house being built? Anyway, you're very lucky for having two houses as many people couldn't even manage to buy one house. I hope if mylot members can post pictures of their house facilities that they are proud of, that could even be a whole lot better as we appreciate how it actually looks :D

I want to have a good karaoke room in the house, so i can sing out loud whenever i feel upset or stress or enjoy singing with friends and also don't make noise to the neighbors.

In that case, probably having a sound-proof room would be good. I don't know exactly how a room can be renovated to become sound-proof but I think it has something to do with changing the materials of the wall, a certain kind of material that absorbs sound instead of the sound bouncing from it...this is just a guess. But maybe if you're a good singer, the neighbors wouldn't mind listening to your singing but probably would feel lucky as if their attending a free concert :)

Yes, it is, it should be a sound-proof room. I dont know how to make it become a a sound-proof room also, but in here, i can rent people do it... No, i am not good singer at all, but when i am stress, unhappy, etc.., i often go to karaoke room for singing...and then i feel better.

We have our own home since we got married. 3 years ago we bought new appliances and home theater since we do love singing. It's really nice to have one- but now we feel like it's boring (hehehe) I mean, we seldom use it already and only watch movies. Well, it's really nice to have a big screen while watching movie plus the cinema surround system effect.

I know how it feels when you first have a desire for something and then when you have it and use it for a long time, the excitement wears out...lol. Anyway, I agree that your home theater would still be a nice place for watching movies and maybe that would be a hobby that would continue to be exciting because there would always be new and interesting movies that are made. Don't forget to invite me once in a while, okay? hehe

I want to have a wide screen. Watching movies or any program make me stay at home. So I'd love to have this so I can have a great time with my family.

Fortunately, we already have our own house, just before we got married. I'm one lucky wife..lol.. And, now we are planning to make renovations, after 5 years of living in our humble home. In that renovation plan, I always want to have a room for entertainment and have a home theater system, with a huge flat screen tv, and nice comfortable couch. I'd also like to have a good videoke system because we love singing a lot. A good airconditioning system would just make it perfect, too. That would involve a lot of investment, so we're going to take one step at a time.

Wow, please invite me in when your music room have already finished :D I also dreamed of a home theater and a music room all in one, and I imagined it quite similar to how you imagined it to be. Of course the airconditioning would make the comfort complete especially in this super hot season. Anyway, besides a karaoke I also wanted to have a videoke where I can just read the lyrics on the screen while singing while watching some interesting music video. I imagine eating some snacks and soft drinks while I'm enjoying it with my family, friends or maybe someone special...she will come in the future, I'm sure :D

Just a laptop computer and internet. If the computer has a blu ray or DVD player you can rent movies from time to time. If the internet service is fast enough I would choose netflix instead of renting movies and strem them online. with this set up i can do a lot of things without having to buy a lot of expensive stuff. Later I would add a bigger monitor or a cheap HDTV to my laptop and connect is via DVI or HDMI. Computers can do a lot of stuff these days so the need to have a lot of devices is more of a luxury than a real need.

I consider cooking as a form of entertainment so I must say that if every I will buy my dream house, the kitchen will be packed with state of the art machines I can us for cooking. With that at my disposal, I will host parties from time to time wherein my friend could watch me cook while they are lounging at their seats and waiting for my dish to be served to them. I guess in that way, they will be also entertained.

That's very nice, I'm sure those who are into cooking would also want to have a nice cooking place with different useful cooking utensils at their disposals, probably matched with cooking books and different types of herbs and spices at their disposal. And if you cook in an entertaining way, maybe you can have your own cooking show on tv...that would really be entertainment.
