Master suite

I love watching the HGTV show "House Hunters". I enjoy seeing homes in various parts of the country and comparing prices to what we have here in East Hampton. The thing that always amazes me is how big most people's master suites are. At least compared to mine!

Some homes have huge masters, with bathrooms almost as large as my bedroom. When we put a small addition on our home twenty years ago I thought I was really living the high life! My very own bathroom! My parents never had their own bathroom - we all shared the same one in that old Victorian. So having my own, as small as it is, was definitly an upgrade! And I do love it. But honestly its very modest compared to what I see on TV. Apparently in other parts of the country I could buy a home with a master suite as large as my whole upstairs is here in East Hampton.

Funny, but humanly speaking we really don't ever know what we don't have unless someone else points it out to us (or we see it on TV!) My grandparents would think I was living in a mansion. 

And actually, I do too.
