Thread: Looking for ideas

I am renovating my beach house and looking for ideas on what to include. I went to a home show last weekend looking for ideas on new gadgets and gizmos, but they had sh*t.

FWIW, it's basically a summer house. I live in the Northeast, where we only get about 3 months a year of beach weather.

Thanks.

any pics of the area and property? hard to give some ideas without a general view of the design theme

What kind of ideas are you looking for? Where in the Northeast?

Get a decorator. That is my first idea.

Or you can go with a disco/gay bar theme. Wrap the place in stainless and neon with lots of black leather furniture and chains and handcuffs and stuff. Then mount a large sex swing from the middle of the kitchen and use it keep your clawless hamsters in. I would go with a Richard Gere/Richard Simmons motif in the living room with a rubber floor and shower heads that spray baby oil at the push of a button. All the toilets should have dildos sticking out of the water so when you sit down... well, you know.

Anyway, those are just some of my ideas I have for your summer house. Let me know how they work out. I'm delighted you asked.

Wow thomas is god!

Thanks for the ideas! I'll pass those along to my wife. Hopefully, she'll implement a few of them, but not the dildos in the toilet thing.

PS- You have a hell of an imagination.

What I want to know about are things like the hidden vacuum vent under the kitchen cabinets. I want to know what is available in the world of construction that did not exist 15 years ago and would be useful and/or different, but not ridiculous or over the top. (very subjective criteria, I know)

The house is on the north fork of long island, on peconic bay. The water view is to the east, so I get sunrises, not sunsets.

you need a bar & wine cave:




and a BRain fit with:
PC
Mac
Lutron
Sonos
