Some people are very excited about this. I don't really want Martha Stewart to have anything to do with my house. Think of the pressure!

The IT guy here at work went to tour the houses along with his wife, and found that they had the same problems common to new homes in this area. Namely, poor use of space. It has become quite fashionable to have these high-ceilinged, open floor plans. I don't like it- the houses feel very cold to me. Very non-homey. Also, why do bathrooms have to be huge? A 10' x 12' bathroom is overkill. I mean, I'd like one larger than mine, which is crowded if one of the cats comes in, but I don't really need to be able to put a guest bed in it.

Further proof that I am a dork: I don't even like the fashionable houses.
