Well, we don't watch TV or movies to any extent. We watch football & the news. So, we went another direction in our home. We've got a large bookcase with hundreds of books (some quite rare), a chess set, wood scrabble board, cards, a small stereo system, & my piano. There's a flat-panel 15" TV. I have the custom-made wingback chair of my dreams & DH has a leather chair & ottoman. The wood pieces are all early American antique with a lot of 17th & 18th century wine glasses & decanters sitting around (DH's collection). We also don't have children home any longer so the room is no longer "child-friendly". The grandkids love to sit on Grandpa's lap in that room & play "what's it?" pointing to the various collectibles. But, it's the only room in the house where they can't roam freely. lol In years past, when the kids were still home, we've had ping-pong, tournament-size pool table, much larger stereos, larger TVs, darts, Whirlitzer juke box (really fun!), and a small dance floor. Have always had the books, chess, and one piano or another.

"Hey, let's position the garage door and front door right in each other's way so the homeowner can save a thousand bucks by forgoing a separate walkway. Never mind that the extra bend that's now needed in the driveway because of the garage facing to the side instead of the front will take more additional concrete than the little walkway we eliminated would save. Also, pay no heed to the complex footprint and rooflines that needlessly raise construction costs many thousands over a similar design with simpler forms. Just remember those thousand bucks we're saving here." Somehow, I've seen countless other houses with attached garages built on a far smaller budget than this one would need that do not have such cramped, awkward entryways. This is just a bad design. It can be fixed by moving the garage mass over a bit to give the human entry some more breathing room and make the garage doors face the front. By making the driveway straight, you'll save enough to be able to make a little walkway to the front door.

I’m not sure how often. It is still being built. Lol. I want it to be a comfortable bed and I’m not sure if Murphy beds are. I was thinking of queen size bed and reclining loveseat on the same wall and the tv in the nook. It will be tight though.

That's a nice big room! If you don't need another office or bedroom, I would use it for something fun. A party room, dance hall, music studio, game room, bar? Art studio, crafts, sewing, model trains, workshop? Library, family room, playroom, home theatre? Kids homework room or computer room? Exercise room, meditation room? Place for pets or houseplants? Extra storage? Add a bathroom and it's a master suite, studio apartment, inlaw suite, or air bnb? Sometimes you need to live in a new home a while before you discover how the space works best for your lifestyle.
