4.23.13 – Home & Garden

I love doing home/furnishing posts so today’s is gonna be pretty pic heavy and probably contain a lot of rambling :P
I recently obtained lots of new furniture thanks to a few new store releases and events that are currently underway so I want to share alllll the things.

First up, going to show off some new furniture from HANDverk that I set up inside the Scarlet Creative Saturday Morning Simple Skybox.

Snapshot_003

The Barcelona Chair and Couch from HANDverk are made using realistic scaling so they fit better to the standard sizes of the SL avatars. That means your couch won’t look like it should be able to hold 40 people on it, but realistically seat one or two avatars nicely. I don’t often go crazy for animations in furniture, but I was honestly impressed with the cuddles that are built into this couch. I LOVE them. I wish now that I showed some of them in this post, but I am so happy with them I am liable to go back and do another post so you guys can see them all. The adult version of this couch even includes adult animations, in addition to the cuddles. It offers 62 different animations total.

One of my other favorite pieces shown here is the Origami Crane Set from 11th Hour. I love cute little things such as this that I can rez around to make my house look a little more “lived in”. The Origami Crane Set is a hunt item for the Royal Living Magazine Birds and Bees Hunt and you can hunt for it up to the 28th, which everyone should go do.

The Liaison Collaborative’s new event, The Garden, started its first cycle not that long ago and has SO MANY great items for outdoor landscaping. One of my favorite sets is the Sheryl Garden Pergola from MudHoney:

Snapshot_002

The Sheryl Set includes the chair, bench, wire table, rug, pergola, lantern, drum table and ceiling fan, which actually moves. I had so much fun setting up this scene and once I added all the little bunnies I loved it even more. Hope you enjoy the set up as much as I do!

Home – 1.11.13

Today I am steering away from SL Fashion to do a home/furniture post.
I recently set up the ~BAZAR~ Arizona House that my partner gifted to me a little over a month ago.
I hadn’t really had time to furnish it and with the holidays coming up we waited til now to start using it.

I will probably be using this house for a LONG time because quite honestly it’s beautiful.

Home ❤

I modded this house significantly to remove the rock base it was sitting on as well as the included plants and trees. ( you will notice it sits on top of rocks and has a ramp type thing when it is stock, but since it is mod, I had my way with it).  I have taken a lot of pictures to show off the interior, however I did purchase this house FULLY furnished, so I am only going to credit the things I added. Everything else is part of the Bazar Arizona set, and can be purchased separately or is included with the furnished version of the house.

HOUSE IS: ~BAZAR~ Arizona House

Hope you enjoyed this little trip through my home and something other than a SL fashion post :D

Just know you’re not alone…
Cause I’m going to make this place your home.

Long Day

I seem to feel sleepy a lot lately.
I think the holiday’s stress me out, but at the same time I really do enjoy this time of year.

I have a lot of family coming to stay with me from out-of-state, so this is going to be close to my last post before Christmas. 
Hopefully though… I might be able to squeeze one more in if I am not super lazy tomorrow :P

Anyway, a new round of Zodiac has started. Capricorn. 

Long Day

You can find this new desk and chair from MudHoney at Zodiac
I have been looking for a nice new desk that was relatively simple in design. This one is perfect.

Long Day

The poses shown in the first 2 pictures are scripted in the chair, as well as some that rez props ( a laptop, coffee, a pen ). 
It also includes couple poses, which are not shown.
I am also pretty much obsessed with the Apple Fall - Heart of Polaroids you see hanging on the wall. It is only 50L as part of the Christmas Advent.
I love Apple Fall products and all the Advent items have been amazing, and at just 50L you can’t beat it to pick up some new cute decor items.

Snapshot_005

I love my outfit too! I will probably be wearing for this for the rest of the year ( sounds funny to say that ) but I won’t be on much with all my visitors. 

I think I have rambled enough in this post :)

Feels Like Home

I have been wanting to use these lighted trees that I picked up from Cinema for a while now. And also the Priya bed from Mudhoney.
After rezzing everything side by side trying to come up with some decoration ideas, I came up with putting the trees around the bed.
I know most people would put trees outside, but I fell in love with it this way :)

I was inspired to decorate the rest of this skybox from Barnesworth Anubis ( At Collabor88! ) after loving the bedroom setup so much. 

I will try my best to credit everything, but if you see something that I missed, please feel free to ask :)

I raided my friend’s house just so I could show off to you guys the *Limited Time Super Low Priced* “Rico” house from [ABODE]. It is currently only 299L as part of a Marketplace Special. I am not sure how long the promo lasts, but the house is adorable!

See for yourself:

More Pictures:

You can check it out further on the Marketplace by CLICKING HERE.

*A special thanks to my friend Dusky, for letting me act like the paparazzi in her house :P *

Very Very Very Fine House

Christmas Living

Christmas is only 1 week away, so I decided to seize this opportunity to show off my Christmasfied living room!

I love my little Christmas tree from {What Next}! It fit perfectly in the spot that I had cleared for a tree, as did the gift boxes.

The house I have set up right now is one of my favorites that I have purchased in a long time. It is from [SPRY] and there are so many cute builds there. Its small, but I prefer small builds as it gives the home a cozy feel :)

All the furniture and decor you see pictured is also from  {What Next}. I am a big fan of Winter Thorn’s creations, and own several of her full room sets. Her store is definitely a place that I suggest you go visit if you have never been, and a place I am sure you will go back to if you have.

What You See:

  • House: [SPRY] get lost/get found seaside cottage
  • Furniture: {What Next} ‘Winter’ Laurel Living Room
  • Includes: 21 Pieces ( couch, table, lamp, rug, ottoman, drapes, pine cones in bowl, pictures, wall hangings, pine cone candles, stockings, fireplace &  more things not all shown).
  • Tree: {What Next} Decorated Pine Tree
  • Presents: {What Next} Gift Boxes
  • Pillow: *Pillow Talk* Complete Me

Hope you enjoyed this quick peek at my living room :)

*Runs off to real life, since my birthday is tomorrow, Woo!*

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

Oh Won’t You Please Take Me Home

Just in case you happened to miss the giant picture of a house above…( lol ) … For this blog post I am jumping ship on the traditional fashion posts, and blogging about my house that I finally finished decorating. :D

Brace yourself for a picture heavy post, because I just want to show it off at all angles and make sure I include where to get everything. :)

Nothing is ” new ” per se, but that doesn’t make it any less awesome!

Where to buy the house:

:[MudHoney]: Designs – Country Cottage, Smaller Version

 

This is my living room!

I modded the color of the walls to my liking and turned the two bedrooms into one, but it was all easily done since the house is fully modifiable.

 

Where To Buy What You See ( Living Room ):

  • [What Next] – Ciel Living Room – INCLUDES ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS: ( Some not shown ):
  • *Two fireside armchairs, one natural and one blue
    *Fireplace
    *Stool
    *Scatter floor pillows
    *Hanging Peg/Photo Decor
    * Two photo frames
    * Art shelf with paintings
    * Ladder Shelf
    * Two mini topiary plants
    * Tealight candle in a jar
    * Star candle holder with candle
    * Vase
    * Two wicker storage baskets
    * Fire basket with logs
    * Mug of cocoa, Plate of cupcakes and tray
    *Coffee table

On to the bedroom:

I love this bed so much its ridiculous, and I believe there is a newer version out as well, however it is very primmy. 40 prims worth of primmy to be exact :P But so pretty none the less.

Where To Buy What You See: ( Bedroom ):

The house includes this little loft area you see pictured above. I really had no idea what to put here, but I am sure it could be used for a bedroom or a studio of some kind. Or a place just to relax. I did change the colors of the wall to my liking, which again, is oh so easy since the house is modifiable. :)

 

This is a far away shot of the house, which includes my horses. They are the ” new rage ” in breedable pets you might say. They are made by Amaretto Breedables, and are strangely addictive. To me at least…but I am not a crazy horse lady I swear….*runs off into the horse field waving my arms and screaming like a wild banshee*

 

Anyways… O.O

Hope you enjoyed yet another trip inside my home, and happy shopping <3

Jam Out With Me!
