This is so it can accommodate the table that will seat a minimum of 16 so that you and your spouse can sit on opposite ends to dine.

And, so there is plenty of space for the servants to move about.

C'mon people.....7-9K is not that big....

Are you kidding? It's huge. It's intentionally pretentious and intended to show you have money. There's no practical reason to build a house of that size unless you happen to be a family with a shitload of kids. The concept of 10,000 sq ft houses being anything other than garish is absurd to me

It's ok bud. Not everyone can live large.

Hah, I'm a multi millionaire, I'm just not one defined by being gauche and ostentatious

Well woopty doo. Good for you. Can people just live? It doesn't affect you in any way? Simply ignore the thread. You know nothing about Op.

Sure op can go build her ugly house. I don't care. I was asking if someone genuinely believed 7-9K wasn't big. It's a discussion forum after all, not a circle jerk.

Do you think white house is butt ugly because it is large?

The White House isn't a "house", you know that right? There are 450 people who work there in some capacity and a full 96 that are groundskeepers, electricians, etc. There are 5 chefs. 6,000 people a day visit the White House. Beyond that, it's obviously a symbol of American government. The comparison is pretty stupid.

But yes, if someone built a replica of the White House as their personal residence in McLean somewhere you wouldn't find it pretty obscene?

There is one, on Georgetown Pike!

Also, 7-9000 sq ft is gargantuan, even if there are ridiculous 20000 sq ft homes. Tell me, is your foyer one story or two?

And a butler. In a tuxedo. It is really a sacrifice to cut corners.

How do you know her house will be ugly just judging by the size?
You sound like a little sour-grape poor bitch who is without self confidence, rather than a multi-millionaire.
