[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are shallow by definition, just because you worry so much about what people you invite over will think about your house and so obviously trying to buy something that you can flaunt into people's faces.  Perhaps, you are also insecure that you need a confirmation from anyone you invite over on how wealthy you seem and how perfectly designed your home is.

This has nothing to do with this home or that.  It is just what you are, live with it.

If you really care about this so much, why don't you first prepare an inventory of all the people you will be inviting over, go visit their homes or get some idea how much they are making and start from there, to make sure the "embarrassment" that they may take you for someone of a lower class than they are is no longer an issue.

Haha, I deserve this, I guess.  But in my defense I'll say that I am not trying to flaunt my "wealth"  (this is a mcmansion out in the 'burbs, with far larger homes all around), but I guess I want my friends to think that, even though I am buying a mcmansion, at least I bought a relatively tasteful one (oxymoron?).  So you're right, I am shallow and insecure.  [/quote]

It's hideous, OP - assuming this is still not troll-like behavior.

All McMansions are just large cookie cutter images.  They are indeed vehicles for the nouveau riche to flaunt money.  These days, new construction - unless you build on your own, which is VERY expensive - is shoddy.  So while these hideous beasts may appear to be well made, they're not.

My dad was a builder and master stonemason/bricklayer.  He designed and built all the homes we lived in.  They were not huge - maybe the largest being 4000 sq. ft. - and all ramblers.  absolutely gorgeous and built only with brick and stone

That's class, my friend.  What you're looking at is NOT tasteful in the least bit.
