The Manse

Ok, so this is the front of my father and stepmother's new house in Iowa. What you don't see here is the back side that is two stories of mostly glass windows. Its very prairie style with stone and leaded glass windows, hardwood floors (not just any hardwood, its this brazillian mahogany or something) with slate inlaid INTO the wood, etc. Big stone fireplace. Big windows. 20 foot ceilings, etc. Its pure excess.

And also included is a picture of my step brother. Looking all thin and fit and triathelonish. Styling in his Oakley white sunglasses. He's such a metrosexual...
