Earlier this week, CBS announced the debut of The Gates, a daytime soap opera centered around a wealthy Black family in an upscale gated community.
And while we haven’t gotten a peek at the no-doubt fabulous homes that will be featured on the upcoming show, this gated Alabama McMansion would fit right in. For those of us waiting to get a glimpse of the bougie life, the show doesn’t air until January; here’s a massive McMansion to tide you over!
A fountain in the front yard is also a must have item, duh! How will we wish for more mansions without a place to toss our coins for good luck.
Clearly, any pool worth having is going to be surrounded by a sculpture garden.
Naturally, it’s very important that you can’t see your neighbors. How gauche would that be.
It should go without saying that if you’re going to live in mansion you’re going to need a massive marble staircase that allows for grand entrances.
While your esteemed guests and royal dignitaries such as Megan Markle and Prince Harry wait for your grand entrance, they’re going to need something to stare at. And this chandelier should do the trick.
Here’s a library, for when you need to do some work to maintain your palace.
You’re going to need a space to entertain guests, and what better space than one with a giant looming chandelier to assert your dominance over your less fabulous friends.
If the chandelier doesn’t do the trick, looming over your friends from your Romeo & Juliette style indoor balcony should do it. Bonus points if you simultaneously force them to play the piano.
In the highly unlikely case that your new friends Meghan Markle and Prince Harry weren’t impressed by your first grand entrance — here’s your chance to really wow them with another fabulous staircase descent.
Can we talk about the amount of burners!!
Clearly, the fancy guests you’re entertaining can’t sleep in a room without a chandelier.
This should go without saying, but don’t invite us to your home unless every room is equipped with a marble fireplace.
Move over Donald Trump’s gold bathroom, this marble tub is the real show stopper.
We would be remiss if we didn’t show you yet another room with a fancy chandelier. Because clearly, you can’t have enough chandeliers.
Obviously, we had to close out with this extravagent lounge area! Now, we just need to figure out how to snag an invite to the next pool party.
