Sunday relaxing…

It’s a quick post today, as I’m out the door soon after I hit the send button.  I’m featuring the Arcade with Hive, Mutresse, Ariskea and Reign.

Then also featuring some Autumn decor by Merak and seasonal landscape by Heart Gardens.

Hopefully, in my rush I missed no one, but have a great Sunday!!

The Autumn home

Having lived in the southern part of the state of Florida we never had the change of leaves to bring in the change of season from summer to fall.  Just about the only change was in the weather where it isn’t so hot and muggy.  Now I live further up the state in the north central area and we have some trees around that do change color so I’m really looking forward to that. There is also an abundance of huge oak trees with lots of Spanish moss that I think a picnic outdoors seems to be in my future. Maybe.

Today’s post is showcasing some autumn home decor by Cheeky Pea available now at the N21 event. There is a piece missing from the set and it’s a set of wall picture frames surrounding a large star.  Great set to get started on decorating for the upcoming season.  I’m also using some several pieces from the “memories” gacha by YS&YS, which fits perfectly with this season.

Have a great Wednesday!

Breakfast served daily

I will be brief as my mind is a bit scrambled today and it’s far better for me to be short than try to write something long and it make no sense. The decor that I’m featuring today is a mixture of items from  a few creators at the Arcade and Zen Creations along with a few pieces from other creators.

A big thank you to Julie for keeping me company while I created this scene this morning. Normally, like I’m sure most of us do we work alone in our platforms, so having the company from time to time is a pleasant diversion.

Enjoy the rest of the day!

To thine own self be true

Morning everyone, even though that by the time that I finish writing this it will be gone into afternoon. I had such a long day yesterday, where the majority of it was spent in one room after another just waiting and patience isn’t my strongest suit. Though yesterday is over and today is another day and while my body is still sickly my mind is sharp.

Today is a mixed post of fashion and decor. Jules, fellow blogger and now friend said something that resonated and I’ve often thought of myself. Are we a bit redundant talking about everything we’re showing when it’s all listed in credits? For the most part and I would say 99% of bloggers only blog what they like and reviewing is literally absent.

I think what most of us do is give sneak previews or showcase items in how we may dress up a fashion item or decor or landscape the various genres of items we receive. Often giving inspiration to others who may not know how to fit something into a room, home, land or even their bodies.  I for one lack the fashion skills that others have to find the perfect jewelry and makeup to accessorize my look. It’s a bit of laziness to go digging in my inventory and just because I use the very minimal in real life as well that it’s carried over into SL.  That’s one thing to love about the diversity of blogs we follow. I get to be awed by seeing how you fashionistas out there look and put yourself together and envy you just a little.

Anyways, I’ve rambled on long enough and here we are at credits. All great stuff right?

By the way make sure to go check out Jules awesome blog at Sunshine & Sparkles!

One more

One day closer to the weekend seems to be the best day.  It’s also a holiday weekend too. I don’t have any Easter plans as of now, but I’m really looking forward to relaxing if nothing else. I’ve got lots of boxes to open up from a couple of events that I blog for, so that’s part of the no plans.  Maybe I’m going to go distract fellow blogger Exis, good friend since we’ve met in-world and fabulous dancer too, because I’ve been away and by now she’s missed me. Chuckles.

The lovely dress,  hair and necklace and hanging wicker ball decor is what I am featuring today, so look for all the details below.

Have a great Thursday!

I figured since morning will come too quick here in a few hours and I will be a bit cranky after only a bit of hours of sleep that I might as well post this now and get it out of the way.

I’m showcasing Ionic’s new gacha at The Chapter Four event called the Spirit Gacha.  It’s got some cute artistic items as well as other adorable decor items that are all detailed below.  The one thing that I want to point out is that I heavily modded the curtains, so the actual version is just two panels and not four as shown.

Have a great Friday!!

The Cranmore

0033ps

I mentioned in my blog post yesterday that today I would be featuring a new home. So today I bring you The Cranmore by creator Cain Maven. If you’ve been around Second Life for a while you’re probably already familiar with his homes under his brands Maven Homes and also Quantum Luxury Homes.

Both brands offer you high quality homes in various styles in a wide range of prices. Though having just recently toured one of the previous new releases, the “Roma” home, beautiful large luxury home is almost too simple to describe the beauty and magnificence in size and looks of that particular home.

0062ps

The Cranmore is way smaller in comparison, but it’s also not a small home either at a size of 32 m x 35 m.  It’s a bit of a mixed brick style build as you get a bit of a renovated barn with an industrial rustic feel with a touch of modernness. What I especially liked immediately upon entering the home was the sense of not feeling like I was boxed in.  I think that’s attributed to the openness, large picture windows and the high ceilings, which is something you don’t find a lot these days.

015ps

The rooms in the house include a bedroom, bathroom, front room, a kitchen with a dining/living room space and attic. The kitchen and bathroom decor is removable. I had a little fun decorating the kitchen with old and new items.  The kitchen as mentioned is an open plan where you have the dining room and another living room space.  The picture below shows the other side of the kitchen as you enter it through the open barn doors.

018ps

You can see the attic space in the picture above that gives you another level to put in another bedroom, office or another sitting area.  Plus you can see what I mean about the openness and high ceilings.

022ps

Above is the bathroom and the next picture is the bedroom.  Just take a look at the realistic detail of the materials used.

021ps

In the second picture you saw the home from the back and you see the big window just behind the green loungers, which are another collaboration by Shutter Field and Decor Junction and are available currently at Tres Chic.

If you click the window or the wheel on the wall, you will see the wheel begin to spin as the window opens, giving you this wonderful view out or whatever view you may have once positioned.  You can see my hands there as I am taking a breather enjoying the night hours and the flock of birds.  Now most species of birds rest during the night as I came to read, though there are some birds like for instance some sparrows that fly at night during migration periods. I think it was one of those periods.

024ps2

If you read and saw all the pictures, thank you for taking the time as I know it’s a very long post.

Below credits I’ve also listed information the creator has provided. The house is set to be released this weekend, and while I’ve done best to show you the house from almost every angle, go check it out for yourself!
