Answer:
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
First of all, we ask Allaah to reward you for remaining steadfast on the right Path, for performing the five obligatory prayers, and seeking to get closer to Allaah by performing supererogatory prayers, and for reciting the Quran and performing other acts of obedience.
There is no doubt that a heart that is attached to Paradise and entering Paradise is something Islamicly required because the Prophet said: ‘‘If you ever supplicate Allaah, you should supplicate Him for Al-Firdaous [which is the highest degree in Paradise].’’ [Al-Bukhari]
Allaah described to us Paradise in details so that we would be eager to enter it, but one should not imagine life therein with such details that you mentioned in the question, and it is like supplicating with those details and this is something prohibited and is Islamicly considered as transgressing in supplication. It is reported that Abdullaah ibn Al-Mughaffal 
heard his son saying: “O Allaah, I ask you to grant me the white palace at the right side of Paradise if I enter it”, then he told him: “O son, ask Allaah to admit you to Paradise and seek refuge in Him from Hellfire; indeed I heard the Porphet saying: “There will be in my nation a people who would exaggerate in purity and transgress in supplicating.” [Abu Daawood and Ibn Maajah]
Instead of being involved in such imagination, you should recite the Quran and the Prophetic narrations and ponder about their great meanings, among which is what is mentioned about the description of Paradise and its bliss therein, and this will encourage you to perform acts of good deeds.
Furthermore, it is not correct to say that everything that is forbidden for a person in this worldly life will be lawful for him on the Day of Judgment. The people of Paradise do not wish for forbidden things but there are things that Allaah has forbidden for them in this life because they are harmful but the same things are free from such harm in Paradise, and so Allaah has made them something people would enjoy in it [Paradise], like wearing silk which Allaah forbade for men in this worldly life. The same thing applies to drinking wine in Paradise, there are rivers of wine but this wine differs in its essence from that in this worldly life. It is for this reason that Allaah Says about wine in Paradise (what means) {No headache will they have there from, nor will they be intoxicated.} [Quran 56:19]
Allaah Knows best.
