Big Ugly Houses - and Smaller Well Designed Houses

[rb336]

Are there any exterior photos of that Shelby Twp. house in the Free Press story? It doesn't look all that great from the inside, but some of the big new houses I see out there aren't half bad. Nothing to compare to most of the houses posted above, but also not at all hideous. Of course, far too many big new homes are indeed ugly gaudy tasteless McMansions.

yes, they are right there in the slide show - very blah. I've never understood the allure of a "big house" and I grew up in a fairly big house - 6000 sq. ft. it was nice when all of my siblings were living there, but when I was the last kid at home I decided I never wanted to live in a place that big again. 10,000 square feet is just absurd. That most of the houses featured by the freep are sterile looking as hell just makes it worse
