This Couch.

I love this couch. Like totally would marry it and have little couch-ling babies with it. I really wanted to do an amazing picture to go along with this post. Unfortunately, Firestorm has decided it hates me and it took me an hour and a half to get Autumn and the couch to rez just to take this picture. I really don't think the couch needs anything else to be beautiful, though. You can get this couch on Monday, when The Home Show opens, from Mudhoney! Squee!

P.S. - It also comes in like a billion other magnificent colors, good luck picking just one!

Credits....Autumn and I look cute. If you need to know what we're wearing, you can IM either of us inworld. Or leave us a comment here...or hit us up on Plurk...or Facebook....we'll let you know.

Bazar at The Home Show!

This wasn't intended to be a post about just one vendor at The Home Show, but once I started rezzing pieces from The Toronto Bedroom from Bazar...I couldn't stop myself! I am such a bed hoarder in SL. It's a serious problem, only rivaled by my addiction to buying houses that I'll never use. This bed caught my eye, right away! It looks like the kind of bed I could hang out in for hours on end and read, snuggle, watch TV...anything! The additional pieces of the set are each adorable, on their own. But, by far, my favorite piece is the Toronto Closet. The clothes rack in the back left...perfection! And it's only 9 LI! You're totally going to have to check this out when The Home Show opens on July 1st!

Second Spaces at HGE!

It's just a couple of hours away! The Home and Garden Expo is about to begin! I wanted to get one last, quick preview in before it kicks off, officially! A store that I was very sad to see close it's doors is making a cameo appearance this year at HGE! Second Spaces was always one of my favorite furniture and decor go to stores. (I do still get an occasional treat from SS on Fifty Linden Friday's!) This is one stop you are not going to want to miss...just look at this stuff! I can't wait to put it in my new house, this weekend!

The Home and Garden Expo - Just A Peek!

I have a general addiction to shopping in SL, however, when it comes to houses and decor...addiction is an understatement. Autumn's favorite story to tell anyone is how, one weekened, I purchased, decorated and deleted four houses. Four. So, I guess you can start to imagine how excited I am for The Home and Garden Expo. You can read about all the excitement, here. And check out more amazing pics, here!  These are just a few, small pieces of what I have seen so far. There will be lots more to come, I promise! Squeeee!!

An Exit To Eternal Summer Slacking ...

They made up their minds 

And they started packing 

They left before the sun came up that day 

An exit to eternal summer slacking 

But where were they going without ever 

Knowing the way? 

So I have a mean Uncle....who isn't actually mean, but he does make some pretty awesome houses. This is his latest release, The Small Country Cottage and its adorable! It totally reminds me of a summer getaway, far out in the middle of nowhere. 

It has one main room, perfect for a kitchen/family room combo. Then two smaller rooms in the back. I made one a bedroom and the second, the bath.

My favorite part, though, is the porch. It's the perfect size for hanging out, having dinner and watching the sun set. 

This cabin has me so excited for summer...and possibly a vacation in SL? (I can hear Autumn having a heart attack right now!) Dimensions for the house are 22m x 20m and total LI is 69...not too shabby!

Uncle Angel also has some pretty spectacular family houses! You can check them out, here...or on Marketplace! Go, go, go!!

I am working on credits for the decor in the cabin! The majority of it came from The Garden!  If you want to know, specifically  before I can get them posted...drop me an IM or leave a comment and I will get back to you ASAP!

The Garden Is here!

The Garden is open and you really do not want to miss it! Get down there as quickly as possible! Here is just a quick pick of my newly decorated back patio, courtesy of the amazing Garden buys!
