How isolated is your hi-fi?

I'm thinking of dedicated rooms, not component stands. I was looking at some of the "All Out Assault" rooms in the virtual systems section, and while some of them are impressive they are all isolated. It occurs to me that if I had a dedicated room I'd probably never use it because I'd be sitting in there by myself. I use our family room and the hi-fi is just something we make room for. It isn't the perfect accoustic setup, but my wife and I enjoy listening to it. I take the noise of the ice maker or banging pots and pans from the kitchen in the next room in stride.

Anyone else ever consider this scenario?

I have a shared space now and am excited to have my own room soon only because I can make it much closer to ideal for audio then I ever could in a family room, but it has a fireplace and I am going to hopefully get a projector for movie viewing.
I am also going to have a very modest system in living room for casual listening and fun so why not have it both ways? Again the dedicated room is more about placement and looks of gear and treatments then it is about hiding out. All and all I think its gonna be the best of both worlds.
