    I don’t know if there’s a name for it, but I’m always fascinated to see people bring “public” stuff into their houses. Like a guy who turns his basement into an old diner, or maybe a mini-arcade with vending machines, etc. I saw one video where the person made their game room bathroom look like a public bathroom with stalls/urinals, multiple sinks, etc. It’s eccentric and weird, but creative.

    A water fountain would be cool too.

    (Edit: how could I forget, AVGN building a mini video rental shop in his basement!)

      One thing I recommend along those lines: commercial soap dispensers in bathrooms. Doesn’t cost that much, they’re meant to take some abuse, hangs on the wall, and can go a year between refills.

      My in-laws bought a house from a guy who was sort of a germophobe, and he had installed hand dryers in all the bathrooms plus in the kitchen. And not the modem AirBlade (or similar) hand dryers, but the old kind that blew an insultingly lukewarm stream of air in the general direction of your hands for 8 seconds before sputtering to a stop. It was weird and apparently the wiring was a complete fire hazard.
