[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to have a very large dining room, probably twice the size the architect is recommending.

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.  [/quote]

C'mon people.....7-9K is not that big....[/quote]

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[/quote]

It's ok bud.  Not everyone can live large.  [/quote]

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

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

Do you think white house is butt ugly because it is large?[/quote]

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? [/quote]

There is one, on Georgetown Pike!

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