The heartbeat of a home

Now I am always excited when I get new items to blog, because it is part of the fun in the creative process of figuring out how to showcase it in a picture.  When I received this new home by Llorisen, the design is what captured my attention. It’s different than the norm and I really liked its simplicity and understated elegance. The Mulvaney Cabin is available at FaMESHed and has a land impact impact of 42 with curtains and 36 without. I packed a lot into it, and my apologies that in my rush I did not take additional photos as I was focused on the house and the outside seating area.

The chairs and coffee table with some extra pieces of tray, rug and lantern make up the Jolene Set by MudHoney, which were part of the subscriber box for September Deco(c)rate.  You can still grab these goodies, though you will have to pay a slightly higher price.  More information can be found at their web site.  While I’m featuring also the bedroom furniture on the top floor, it is going to be covered in a different post with some changes in the decor, though it has been listed as it is shown in the pictures.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Happy Friday!! I’m back again after spending a day or two doing some photos on my other blog.  My Flickr sidebar gives you a view of some of those photos as I still maintain only one Flickr for both blogs.

Today I’m showcasing items from a few events and one creator that I consistently blog for, which is Bee Designs.  They’ve been really hard at work making some festive stuff for this holiday season.  I’m showing their items from their Winter Moments Gacha that is available at this round of Liaison Collaborative. The rare being the cabin and the commons the decor items that are scattered inside and some outside. I had fun putting all this together as I was really drawn to the simple triangle shaped cabin.

003

The garlands are gacha items by ChicChica at the upcoming round of Tres Chic that starts tomorrow.  The theme is Holiday Magic so stay tuned for some more amazing holiday stuff coming to the grid. The Morin Khuur display is by Zansibar cretionsZ, for this round of Genre, who also has a theme and it’s anything Mongolia.  The Morin Khuur known also as a horsehead fiddle is considered one of the traditional bowed string instruments in the Mongolian culture.  There is a playable version in the set as well.

Other items used are the gifts near the coffee table, which are from +XAnSA+ at the Winter Solstice in the Mystic Realms.  They are part of a bigger set, which are some holiday blimps, so go check them out.

Some of the outdoor landscape items that I’m using today are also from the Winter Solstice. The Tree with swing chair is by Sweet Revolutions and comes with poses for gals and guys and then smaller trees in the picture are by .AiShA.  This picture doesn’t give them justice, because they are some wonderful flashing light trees. I featured them in one of my posts on my other blog, so if you want to take a better look at some lighted ones visit the event or take a peak at my “Lets rest a while the time is near” post.

That’s it for now… and if you want to hear some soothing lovely music I leave you with a Spring Waltz tune said to be by Chopin, though highly unlikely and from reading the comments section it’s not.  It’s still lovely and was listening to it the whole time I was putting this post together.

Make it a celebration everyday

017-2

The bears coming to the Arcade this round by BoOgErS are the cutest things. They each have a certain theme or holiday spirit to them.  As I was looking at them all I found myself drawn to this Cinco De Mayo bear, because of my ancestral heritage.   This is not the actual size as I supersized it and when I did the poses sort of then materialized for this picture.

Who says we can’t celebrate early right?

The southwestern home in the background is by Glas Houses called the Granelda is available at the Home & Garden Expo.  It is truly remarkable how much choices we have when it comes homes and decor and creating the home life we may only dream about.  For some it’s just creating something entirely different to what you may be used to… really the choice is yours.   The Granelda is quite roomy with large rooms and it has two fireplaces throughout the house.

The Expo is open until March 6th and just announced a Photo Contest!

Hello everyone! Hope it’s a great Wednesday so far.  Today I am showing this antique iron greenhouse by DaD Designs being released at the newest event called Whimsical that opens tomorrow at 12 am Second Life time.  It’s 100% original mesh and comes in two versions with your purchase.  With or without a ladder to climb on the roof, which is as easy as touching the ladder and sitting on the pose-ball that takes you up.

Always great to have so many options when it comes to landscaping and this time we have the New England trees by Little Branch, which are seasonal by the touch of a menu.  They are currently available at the LTD Event, that runs until February 26th.

I am also showing some more items at the Home & Garden Expo. The planter of flowers are from Lunar Seasonal Designs and come with a menu giving you the option to change the colors of the planter, flowers, leafs and soil. There are so many textures for you to choose from making it a great deal.  I’m showing another patio table and chairs set by beYou.  This time its in a square version and I really like the feature of being able to open and close the umbrella.  The deck set on the side is by M.Law, which comes ready to just place on a spot on your land… that is what I call convenience!

My little pumpkin

It’s definitely starting to look like Fall in Second Life with all the orange, yellows and red colors you see around.  I’m featuring a few new items by unKindness to help you decorate for the season.

The County Pumpkin set, which can be found at the Tres Chic event includes the pumpkin seat, pumpkin accessories on the floor and the candle tray on the table. The seat comes with male and female sit animations.

Another item by unKindness is the spooky brigade decor that is leaning up against the wall made for the Autumn Effect Hunt.  You can hunt for it at the main store.

The other item that I am featuring today is the big baggy hoody outfit for the toddleedoo made by BoOgErS for the Kawaii Project.  The big baggy hoody outfit is available in two options.

The rest of the decor is listed below.

Splashes of color among the ruins

Perfect 10 030

Doing a quick post to show a couple more home items that will soon be available at the Perfect 10 Event that begins July 1st and goes for 15 days.  The first are the wicker chairs by HJM Designs that will be available in several colors and come with some lovely sits.   Another item to help you with your landscaping needs is this among the ruins statue by An Lema, that if nestled among greenery in a garden it gives that sense of ethereal beauty.

Maybe you’re more towards brighter splashes of color like pastels.  Then Little Branch has these trees in blue, pink and golden out now at the Shiny Shabby event.  It’s the great thing about Second Life, is that you really can color your world any way you want to.

Just have fun!
