So Kyoot

my house, work in progress

About a month ago, I purchased the VDR Island Cottage; it was fully furnished but I wanted a more personal look so I am slowly re-furnishing every room. So far…. I have done the office, kitchen, and this cute little sitting area.

I love the Kyoot Home Silhouette Photo Tree! It’s 33 prims so maybe not for the prim-conscious but it definitely fills a wall nicely and can take the place of a bookshelf or fireplace.

Items seen here:

Kyoot Home – Silhouette Photo Tree I
Kyoot Home – group gift Drawer Set
{what next} Pretty-in-Pink Armchair
The Loft- m.fox (LP)- Window Shades (discontinued)

Cheeese!

Hello SL! I know you’re all busy with shopping the sales but take a break because this one is worth it! G-Field is giving away this adorable Classic Swimwear and matching Knot Wedge Sandals (not worn here) in Purple. I love nice freebies, who doesn’t? I couldn’t pass it up so I made a trip to the ISSD Hunt to grab this and a few other goodies.

The bathing suit goes so well with the new Come Clean tub & bath house from elefantu. This bath house is fully furnished with furniture and accessories. There are some built-in poses too so it’s super fun to play in and very easy to set up. Rez & Play!

Count the Hours

Djinn & Tonic

Welcome to the cutest cabin in SL! I feel terrible for you guys who didn’t get a chance to join the Djinn & Tonic subscribo, because yesterday’s group gift is so darn cute! I wanted to blog it yesterday, but I ended up obsessing over the House & Garden hunt, and then… didn’t really do much else. It was Sunday!

Luckily, this fully furnished Count the Hours home is available for purchase at the .44 Caliber Mainstore. I think the brand is Djinn & Tonic [Home] and it is Babyhoney Bailey’s newest addition to her current brand, Djinn & Tonic. I get confused easily when one person has too many brands, but I think they all belong to Bho, so if you can’t locate it (I couldn’t, but then again, I get lost easily), just send Bho a message.

Djinn & Tonic

The cabin may be small in size, but it packed with decor and cozy places to sit. The prim count is 225, but you can always add/remove things. Everything is copy/mod.

Djinn & Tonic

My favorite pose built into the loft area. This is a great pose for when I’m zoning out in SL!

Djinn & Tonic

I’m a picture whore sooooooo….. here’s one last picture!

Aranel Ah (of BOOM) sent me a Shark Week t-shirt. She’s a t-shirt making machine. Isn’t it adorable? And timely. Rawrrrrrrrrrr, go shopping!

Home sweet home

in Home & Garden,Uncategorized

Change is interesting. I like rezzing homes and landscaping around them, but I move at a snail’s pace so I kept my PM home for over 2 years. I really liked that house, it was simple and only had 4 rooms so it was perfect for me since I take forever to decorate.

I’ve finally deleted the PM home from my sim today to make room for a new one! But I miss it already! I miss my pool too, but I never really use it sooo.. bye bye old house…

my house

my old house

Hello new house! My work in progress:

my house

my new house

It’ll probably take me awhile to landscape and I might put my pool back but re-texture it to match the house.

/Update: Here’s the link to purchase the VRD Prefab Island Cottage home!

Beachy Keen Baby!

Beachy

Spruce Up Your Space has a fantastic theme this month – it’s Beachy Keen! I love the beach in SL, so bought a lot of stuff for my beach. I’m a total sucker for beachy items *hint hint* so if SL creators wanted to tempt me, they know how!

Beachy

What Next – English Seaside Beach Hut

How adorable is this English Seaside Beach Hut? There are lots of interactive poses built-in and the texture is just fantastic. It blends right in with my beach, and I love the soothing color combination. I feel relaxed already!

Beachy

Reading on the deck chair (book is included)

Beachy

Who doesn’t have a sexy lifeguard fantasy? (Thanks to Baywatch!) This Naughty Lifeguard Tower from Belle Belle includes interactive poses for a couple that ranges from PG to naughty poses. This was such a steal at $150L but it’s no copy and no mod.

Beachy

If you want something a little more sophisticated, but still airy and open, check out the Glam Cabana from Second Spaces. The set includes 2 chaise loungers with built-in poses, the cabana, cute accessories and a chandelier! How glam!

Beachy

Last but not least, this adorable Windbrooke prefab also has a matching set of Laterns for sale. The curtains and lanterns are scripted with a color change menu so I colored them both Pink! Panache is an old brand that’s mostly known for hair but I’m pretty happy they seem to be back (somewhat) with a couple of furniture items and prefabs. I’m definitely looking forward to more items cos I love the textures.

MudHoney, Coeur

by Gogo on June 26, 2010

in Home & Garden,Uncategorized

dear sl...

I’ve been wanting to blog a bunch of furniture but fashion things always gets blogged ahead of everything else. I’ll start by blogging my new Coeur skybox and a few MudHoney items that goes perfectly with it.

Coeur

This Coeur Home “sweet” Home skybox is so very Juicy! There are 4 fruit themes – Citrus, Strawberry, Watermelon, and a special group gift, Cherry. I picked Strawberry cos I liked the Pink walls, but they’re all pretty so I might change it up once in awhile.

MudHoney

This MudHoney Lawrence Office set is so sweet, and includes everything pictured above. I like that it includes everything you would need to set up an office space (desk, laptop, desk accessories and book shelf) and also includes additional seating areas to entertain friends or relax.

MudHoney

I have a few more things to blog later, since this month’s Spruce Up Your Space theme is beachy and I looooooooove the beach!

What Next

This Blogger’s Office set is on sale for $150L this weekend only (so you have a few hours left!) as part of the Spruce Up Your Space event. The set includes most of what you see pictured above (minus the wall painting) and a few pictures I placed on the desk.

La Belle Vie Desk

I desperately needed to update my “home office” even though I rarely actually sit down and use it, I like to pretend I do. Every blogger needs an office!!!! My old one was a desk from La Belle Vie (no longer in SL) that I loved but the desk alone was 24 prims and didn’t really include any matching accessories.

What Next

The Blogger’s Office set includes this cute laptop, and you can even customize the screen with your own images. I am using one of the images included in this laptop — check it out! It’s WordPress! It was kind of freaky watching SL Gogo use WordPress cos this is a screen that I stare at on a daily basis.

What Next

The office chair includes some built-in poses for both Male & Female. This is super cute, I’m “thinking” here.

What Next

…and drinking!

What Next

and typing!

What Next

While I was at What Next, I also picked up this adorable Pretty in Pink Armchair, which is a great deal at $75L. This is part of Project Themeory, so get it while it’s still on sale :)

Cotton Hollow

Hi guys! We’re taking a field trip today, out of my skybox and heading to Cotton Hollow Farm! BabyHoney Bailey’s latest project is cute as can be, and houses her new collection of farm accessories.

I’ve pretty much escaped the chickens, turtles, bunnies craze without ever getting one cos I really don’t like a product that’s designed to give you enjoyment by costing you more money!! This farm thing though? I could dig this. Right now they don’t seem to be scripted to do anything, which is perfect. I just want to buy plants, rez them everywhere, and take cute photos.

Cotton Hollow

Psst.. don’t tell Bho I’m stealing one of her tomato plants!

Cotton Hollow

But if you’re into bunnies, there’s a huge bunny farm here. I’ve never seen so many in my slife. I’ve only really seen one bunny actually, so this was kind of cool and terrifying cos there was hover text everywhere.

Cotton Hollow

Visit Cotton Hollow Farm Flagship!

What I’m Wearing:

LeLutka – Lola (Sunkissed) Base (L Brows)
LeLutka – Lola (Lipstick) Nature Matte
Kookie – Chingy (Blonde) Sunshine Blonde
Djinn & Tonic – Boyscout Cutoffs
Djinn & Tonic – Spring Tank
Surf Couture – Shoelace Sandals (White)
