Here's a rule that was left out and I think it's one of the most important rules of all.

 

The purpose of a house is to hold a giant TV set.  Everything in that house should be built with the giant TV in mind.   The TV is not to be hidden in cabinets, or otherwise obscured or placed in a corner.   The TV room is the most important room in the house, and the TV is the most important object in that room.  Furniture should be placed for optimum TV viewing pleasure.  

 

So, when they show that commercial and the woman shows the architect a faucet and says, "Can you build a house around this?"   NO.  NO NO NO.   She should tell the architect, "We have a 60 inch TV.   Can you build a house around that?"
