First, I would like to have lights everywhere that either are Alexa or Google Home enabled, or have proximity sensors for when I enter any given area. Whether it's a hallway, a bathroom, a bedroom, a kitchen, etc. If done by proximity sensors, then the area should light up (when appropriate) as I enter the room or the hallway. But especially having lights automatically turn on when I go into the bathroom. An extra helpful feature for bathroom lighting would be if the lights in it would GRADUALLY turn up in intensity from a low setting so as not to make me totally blind temporarily, and slowly goes to a higher lighting level each minute I am in the bathroom until I leave the bathroom or until it reaches full intensity. Whichever comes first.
In the living room, and the master bedroom, I would want 75" HDTV's built-in to the walls with a kick ass sound system in each that can be remotely controlled with either a remote or voice activation through Alexa or Google Home.
My kitchen? Fully automated with voice control with Alexa, Google Home, or even Bixby (Samsung phones) controlled. Especially having both a microwave and a Keurig coffee maker to be activated by voice control. The lighting would also be activated by proximity sensors as appropriate when daylight is low or when the room itself has low light.
Only ONE room needs to be special. A music room. The kind of music room that has my guitar, my keyboard piano, & three drum sets all surrounded by sound-proofed walls. Two of the drum sets are left hand oriented (both an acoustic and also electronic drum set), while one remains right hand oriented (an acoustic drum set). As well as other music equipment that could dwarf the shit out of any "garage band" set up. I mean, this music room in my custom made dream home would make garage band look like pissant shit in comparison.
An entertainment / video gaming room. One in which has the latest video game consoles including VR tech for two or more players with a 65" 4k HDTV (probably not 3D, since that never works with my vision). One side of the room has all electronics, while the other side, divided by a soundproof wall, is filled with tons of fiction & nonfiction books, manuals, & any miscellaneous types of written paper.
My living room would have a 45" HDTV, nothing fancy, having built-in Roku, accessing any number of streaming choices, music, etc. A comfortable couch for guests to kick back on, a couple of comfy chairs on the sides with a modest sized coffee table in the center. Fireplace optional, but highly desired. A small size refrigerator next to the living room TV for guests only to have drinks from. Maybe a couple of snacks in there as well.
We come to the master bedroom. This will be where I rest, possibly with a future Mrs. "Admiral Blind Man", on a Queen size bed fit for a king! A small 32" HDTV, with a basic sound system installed to give it a rich sound, but nothing fancy. A small desk on one side of the room, along with some shelves for knickknacks, a few books, etc. Basically, i want this room to be where I can find peace & solitude when I need it.
At least ONE extra bedroom for guests who would like to stay a night or two. With it's own refrigerator, stocked up by the guests themselves. A small full size bed, maybe a shelf or two, a small closet, and a basic set of replenishable toiletries both men & women in case I happen to have men & women guests. Though, I can't imagine who'd ever want to come visit me for a night or two. Don't get me wrong, that'd be nice. I just don't see it happening.
Front yard is small, with desert landscaping. A garage big enough to be both a car port and a storage. I would like both an attic and a basement for additional storage space. A small desert landscaped back yard, possibly with a small water fountain that is voice controlled with Alexa or Google Home.
For the front door, a doorbell that records video and I get a live feed on any device for security purposes. An alarm system that is an independent version in which calls police and/or fire rescue if shit goes sideways with a burglary and/or robbery attempt.
I would also enjoy a room in which I can showcase my weapons. My swords and knives, and should I purchase firearms in the future, those too! Hey, I may be a blind man, but I can still see well out of my good eye to shoot guns (as I've done before)!
I think that just about does it for my JRK Dream Home. Hope you enjoyed reading this one!
