it may be all this packing for our move {thanks for all of your kind kind well wishes, nicies!} , all those lego fantasy homes i build these days or my happy chance to work-from-home every day, but gosh i could day-dream away a week or two designing my dream home in my mind! so here's a fun new feature on the blog: my pretend home. each installment focusing on a fun designerly element i adore.
i'd love to hear an element from your pretend home, too!
yay daydreamin'!
yay daydreamin'!

for me, a home is all about the great ideas, conversations, sharings and laughs inspired within!
indeed.
so my pretend house would definitely need to include some great spaces for funfun visiting, and i can't think of a better house element then that iconic 50's & 60's classic: the conversation pit! even the definition thrills me: {from dictionary.com: "a usually sunken portion of a room or living area with chairs, sofas, etc., often grouped around a (central space) or fireplace, where people can gather to talk!." ah yes... a home element designed for fun visiting!
featured in housing design around the world for many eras previous, and then lovingly reinvented as the sunken living room, a seating platform, inside or outside the home, in the late 1950's/ early 960's , i love the many variations on a theme i've seen over the years. and i've rounded up a few for your glimpsing today!

wouldn't a conversation pit be great fun?
just think of the fun visiting possibilities!
aren't some of these hilariously delightful?
wooohooo!
there... now i've got my glass wall up, and a conversation pit smack-dab in the middle of one of the rooms!
how 'bout you?
play along!
what's one element you'd love in your dream home?
