This little screened porch speaks volumes with regard to the argument of quality vs size. The painted wood is all redwood, the screening is bronze, the floor is flagstone, the furnishings didn’t come from a big box store. Which would you rather have… this porch, or one twice as large made of cheaper materials and furnishings?

I don’t think the answer to that question is a “right or wrong” situation but what confuses me is that the reality is that 99.99% of people choose the larger, cheaper option when building a home. Almost no one chooses the “intense quality option”… Why is that?
