We live in a small cape-cod home built in the 1960's. There's one bathroom for all of us. One living room. 2 bedrooms.
Over the last year I've had friends building a house about 2 miles from us. The house is nearly completed and they have moved in. We went for a quick visit earlier this week and this afternoon I'm taking the kids there for a swim.
My kids were BLOWN away by the home. DD thinks it's actually Cinderella's castle as every single room (including the bathrooms) have crystal chandeliers. There are 4 suites: The master suite which includes bedroom, bathroom, dressing room, walk-in closet for him and her. A Paris-themed and Lakeshore-themed suite that both include a master bedroom with walk-in closet, bathroom, and 2 children rooms with their own bathrooms. The last one is more of an apartment that has 2 bedrooms (each with their own bathroom) living area and a separate kitchen.
The pool has lighted fountains and a waterfall. There is a shooting range in the backyard. Outdoor kitchen. Of course all of this sits on the lake front. I haven't had the full tour yet, but I'm sure I'll get one this afternoon!
After our first visit, I spent the rest of the night scrubbing our floors and vacuuming the drapes. I love our little home, but wowzers!
Seriously, what do you get them for a housewarming gift? I really want to welcome them to the neighborhood, but everything I can think of to give them seems podunky.
