It's kinda like women and cushions isn't it?
I LOVE CUSHIONS AND PILLOWS!
AND at my new place there is this 4'x4' area that is about 1.5 feet above the floor up against one wall (he lowered the floor to provide 8' ceilings in the basement but couldn't lower that area because it supports a column which supports a beam which supports the loft like second floor in the upstairs part of the house)...and I'm SO EXCITED to buy oodles of cushions and make it a super rockin' area to curl up, and it faces where the sofa will be so it'll be GREAT for when I have company cause everyone can be facing each other and chatting.
