This thread is for the Common areas of the house - the living room, kitchen, dining room, exercise room, and dance studio, all of which are more-or-less open-air rooms. This will most likely be the most active area of the house.<br/><div align="center">(http://i48.tinypic.com/rsxv6f.jpg)</div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">An annotated map of the house</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(http://i49.tinypic.com/w2nh21.jpg)</div>1 Bedroom 1<br/>2 Bedroom 2<br/>3 Bedroom 3<br/>4 Bedroom 4<br/>5 Shower Room<br/>6 Dance Studio<br/>7 Living Room<br/>8 Kitchen<br/>9 Dining Room<br/>10 Workout Room<br/>11 <strong><em>Mystery</em></strong> - Presently locked<br/>12 Pool Table<br/>13 Back Yard<br/>Not Numbered - The Garage - Presently locked<br/></div></div><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Dance Studio</strong></span><br/>The Dance Studio has open-air arches on three faces, allowing for visibility from most of the Common areas of the house. It features a large raised hardwood dance floor, large enough for a good number of people to dance simultaneously - as many as 16 for simple step classes, or as few as two couples for ballroom-style (or other dance styles that require a great deal of space). There is a large, expensive free-standing stereo set in one corner of the room.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Workout Room</strong></span><br/>The workout room has open-air arches on two faces, allowing for visibility from most of the Common areas of the house. It features a variety of different machines and places for people to work out. It includes a treadmill, recumbent bicycling machine, a bench weight set, a free weights set, a modular dumbbell set, and a comprehensive multi-exercise machine.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Kitchen</strong></span><br/>The kitchen features eight full-sized refrigerators, a large eight-burner stove, a smaller specialty stove, two microwaves, a commercial food processor, and an extra-large, commercial-grade sink, and and<em>plenty</em>of counter space on the island. It also has a large trash compactor nestled under the island.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Dining Room</strong></span><br/>Fairly plain, the Dining Room has an enormous dining table, large enough for all 16 housemates to sit and eat at once. Guests will have to stand, I suppose. ;)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Living Room</strong></span><br/>The Living Room has plenty of seating, with three full-sized couches, two love seats, and two single recliners, all centered generally around the 64" flatscreen television on the wall. There's also a bookcase in the corner that looks a little odd...<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">The odd bookcase</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i49.tinypic.com/2ebwk0m.jpg)</div></div>
