    It's an unnecessary build in. It's cool now but you are stuck with that exact size TV and soundbar indefinitely. And I cannot imagine putting that much work into building in a place for my flat screen and not bothering to hide the cords.

    I don’t think it’s built in. Just mounted, no?

    I thought the same until zooming. The roof line obviously limits TV size though.

    the McMansions trend really took off in the Dallas suburbs in the late 90s and early 2000s imo

    tear down decent ranch style homes and build brick two story boxes

    and then the population explosion happened and people moved into bumfuck suburbs like Rowlett, Plano, Frisco, etc and they needed to build a lot more homes and faster so this is what you get

    I don't like the rugs, art, or random nicknacks, but the furniture that isn't electric blue isn't bad at all. Everything that is attached (aside from the laundry room backsplash) looks nice, IMO.

    true, but It reminded me of where we would go watch tv at my grandma’s house. That house was pretty solid, obviously it was build in canada so that roof was pretty popular since it Is made to prevent the snow to get stuck on it. You see them less and less now that people prefer the extra space, and the houses are now way more solid so the weight of the snow is not a big issue like it used to be.

    Dunno for sure, but I heard she started sleeping over w a couple down the street while he was working out of town, so I think it’s safe to assign a portion of the blame to that abortion of a neighborhood.

    I hate every home where the primary feature visible from the street is the garage. And it seems like every cookie cutter house post-2010ish is built that way.
