I guess she's enjoying her virtual spending spree.


Where is this magical thread?

Seriously!? This is a thing?


Yep, it's basically a marketing technique for home builders. A standard level will have basic baseboards and related trim, mid-level appliances, hollow core doors, basic tile work, etc. An executive level home will have upgraded baseboards and trim, high-end appliances, solid wood doors, more elaborate tile work, and other high-end details.

OP, for your own sake, please stop talking about "Executive" this and "Executive" that. You are going to make a fool of yourself and really embarrass your husband.


Better make a fool of herself here in DCUM than IRL. OP, I know you're excited but you're trying desperately too hard. The other wives in your neighborhood and at your private school are going to smell your desperation to fit in from a mile away and steer clear. Your husband's promotion doesn't necessitate an entirely new and different life.


Do we know for sure this is the same OP?

If so I feel like the OP isn't american born and maybe some terms like "executive home" are more familiar to her.

But I agree better here than in the new clique she's going to be falling into soon.

I think of the big home on tiny lots. There are some on Lewinsville.

I don't care how swell my house is, I'm not promoting it to "Executive".

There is such a thing as an executive car, so I think a lot of those aspects would translate over even though none of us have ever heard of an "Executive home" before.

So if there was such a thing as a 5-series equivalent in terms of a home, that's what it would be.


So we're talking about the kind of house a pretentious social climber would buy?

Yeah, the term isn't really used like that in the United States.

Wtf?

I own an 1880s row house in the city and a 1923 home close-in.

I watch a shitload of HGTV and million dollar listing and have never heard the term 'executive home'.
