Room Treatment: Whatcha Got?

As I learn (Bertrand Russel would say 'as I expand my ignorance') I'm developing a different question to ask of audiophile friends. [ought I say phriends? No!]

Now, instead of asking what gear they listen to, or if they like vinyl, I'm really interested in their room; is it treated, or not? And what technique(s) / how much time is invested in setting up?

That's it: despite the current cover of Stereophile, size no longer matters to me, neither do components at this point. I don't even care about CD / TT until I've learned what effort a listener has put into working the room.

What's your story?

No treatment, just living room, but cleverly damped. Wooden floor, large bookshelf on one side, heavy velvet curtains on the other, big velvet sofa, heavy leather carpet, sounds much better than "dedicated" rooms I heard. Avoid absolutely stone floor. IMHO.
