This one statement makes everything ...Holy smokes. This one statement makes everything else dubious, at best: "“At the end of the day, what they really care is that their wife is happy.” Sheesh. What simplistic white bread twaddle. This totally ignores ethnic and lifestyle differences of the rest of us --who, by the way, also want a decent place to live. Single career women and men, gay or lesbian singles or couples, multi-generational households, non-married couples living together (no "wife"), and for heavens sake, what about all the couples who are working 3 and 4 jobs to keep making their mortgage payments these days? Plus, let's not forget the traditions, customs and hobbies of the myriad other ethnicities and cultures. But no, these neanderthals male builders think everything will suddenly be alright if they cater to the little lady of the house. Precious. By the way, Design Basics is actually owned by a couple of guys from Houston, Texas. The woman at the helm is a recently-hired figurehead who has no experience in the housing business. Maybe she's the one who wears the pants in the family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4498446150470997089.post-67191192293528330942009-09-16T13:03:25.691-04:002009-09-16T13:03:25.691-04:00Well, all I can say is, it's about time.

I'm glad the builders and architects are realizing it too. Isn't it funny that they specifically mention scrapbooking as a de-stressor. I know it keeps me sane!elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08101403348137220014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4498446150470997089.post-87560389822875214462009-09-13T09:04:12.312-04:002009-09-13T09:04:12.312-04:00interesting....i think people look at a house, and...interesting....i think people look at a house, and if it doesn't have what they want, i.e. crafting area, they seems to find it somewhere.rush8888https://www.blogger.com/profile/11154919819199381179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4498446150470997089.post-27067837562803055332009-09-13T07:26:31.815-04:002009-09-13T07:26:31.815-04:00WOW, I am the first commenter here.

And a scrapbooking room is a necessity in my next house.Jenny McGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294255660811384284noreply@blogger.com
