Outdoor Living Space, 1970s
Am I the only person who thinks we should bring conversation pits back? I mean, what says cozy more than a hole in the floor, filled with pillows? My parents had a conversation pit in the house we lived in when I was a toddler. My mom used it as a big playpen for me. How cool is that? I would love to have had one to contain the mini-pearls in when they were small. Now it would be nice to have a big, comfy space for all five of us and the dogs to comfortably watch a movie. Sectionals just aren't the same. So, any takers? Let's bring it back! NO? Well, it sounded good for a minute or two. Happy Weekend and may you find a comfy place to chill.
