lux·u·ry/
ˈləkSH(ə)rē,
ˈləɡZH(ə)rē/
noun
the state of great comfort and extravagant living. "he lived a life of luxury"
But at what point does it 'create great comfort or extravagant? Personally, I think it is all perspective. I saw a face book advertisement post for luxury tiny homes and my first thought was, "yea, those can't be all that luxurious." But then I thought about all the high-end condos that have the best of the best finishes in the best locations, but just with a lot less square footage than a luxury home.
And when we think Luxury cars, something like this might come to mind:
The flip side is I think that the marketing of "Luxury" has eroded its meaning. Years ago when we relocated from MI to NC, we rented an apartment. The website classified it as "Luxury" and showed pictures with stainless steel appliances and all these bells and whistles. When we got there, we noticed it had the cheapest kitchen and bath fixtures and while the appliances were stainless steel, they were the cheapest brands that you can get at the big box hardware realtor.
The question is what does Luxury mean to you? Is it appearance, quality, or does it take both? Are there 'luxury' items that you implement in your life?
