The Gardenia is my favorite plan.
It offers perfect privacy for guests or for working in the office/den.
The placement of the television, in the living room area, can be on an outside wall, as far from the master bedroom as it can get, with the dining room area in between.
When we replaced the carpet in the living area and all bedrooms, we replaced it with carpet — not laminate or wood or tile. As much as I like open concept design and high ceilings, carpeting and upholstered furniture help with the noise level, especially when entertaining a somewhat large group. — (
Wine Away can be ordered on Amazon. I have not had to use it yet, but I have heard it works really well.

Carpeting does help some with sound, but a lot of people prefer hard surface flooring in their TV houses.
I think there are other easier solutions offered in this thread. I just stopped in when the Gardenia came up. I think the vinyl-sided model is called the Camelia — same floor plan. (Please correct me if I am wrong about that name.)
