these mortals.

Posted on July 22, 2013 by elle

I could use a RL vacation spot like this. Just plop it down in the middle of my backyard. Grass cutting optional. Paradise.

This is the Midsummer Retreat from my music soulmate, Tegan Serin of floorplan., available right now at Collabor88. The set includes the shelter and the hanging bed – btw, you can NEVER go wrong with any sort of furniture that hangs – and the bed has all sorts of lovely texture options for the bedding. I went with all white because I wanted a very calm, peaceful, sort of zen vibe — aside from the bright red marquee letters, of course. Gotta have that splash of unexpected.

Check out the Midsummer Retreat right now – right now! – at Collabor88! [SLurl]

Meanwhile, at The Home Show…Ria Bazar of BAZAR has clearly brought her A game. I love everything she has at The Home Show…I’ve checked out her shop before and really liked what I saw, and this newer stuff has just reminded me “oh, hey, Bazar is pretty damn awesome. Go there.” That’s how my inner monologue works. Concise.

Anyway, you definitely need to check out BAZAR at The Home Show (and then some) – and, you know, I don’t really mention prices that often on this blog because that’s not my focus — BUT ohmygoodness, Ria is offering her stuff at amazing prices. At least the stuff at The Home Show (I’ve said that event name like 20 times in this post already – can’t be helped) is really wonderfully affordable, especially for the great mesh quality of the pieces. Who doesn’t love a bargain??

Also, this picture contains awesome from some of my other favorite designers: Cory Edo of Trompe Loeil and Tegan Serin of floorplan. Never stop, you guys. NEVER STOP. ♥

Do you realize how many awesome events are STILL going on? We’ve had so many so far, it’s really easy to lose track. But trust me – there are still LOTS of events that you need to check out.

The pic above is made up of pretty much all items that are currently available at special events, or were available at special events very recently. The lesson here? GO TO ALL THE EVENTS.

I love this bed from Isla Gealach and Cheeky Pea – part of the Abbotsford Bedroom set currently available at The Garden – and those chairs!!! Those are the Deconstructed Armchairs, also from Cheeky Pea, available right now at The Home Show. There’s a whole deconstructed set that is amazing and you must check it out. You.

Also – along with all the awesome in that first pic – how much do you love all the things that {what next} has been releasing lately? Specifically here – the ice cream cart. THE ICE CREAM CART ON A BICYCLE. Genius. Love. Winter Thorn continues to do just amazing things with mesh!! ♥

I love Cory’s bedrooms. ♥

That’s the new Cobble Hill Bedroom set from Cory Edo and Trompe Loeil, available at the June round of FaMESHed. I love the classic lines of the bed, and the texture options on the headboard/footboard and all the bedding are great for dressing it up.

I’m pretty sure that’s the shortest descriptive paragraph I’ve ever written. Bottom line, this is just one more in a slew – SLEW – of gorgeous bedrooms from Cory. You need them all. Make it happen.

I love committing to a theme. This room is a mash-up of two sets available now at FaMESHed: you’ve got a super cute bedroom from Tegan Serin and floorplan., and then there’s a classic office from fri.home, which is a collaboration between Tegan and Darling Monday of fri.day. You know what I love best about their collaboration — aside from the awesome furniture? The fact that floorplan. stuff and fri.home stuff goes so well together – it’s like a megastore that just happens to be split between two locations. Or some other analogy that is more profound. Your choice.

I desperately want a shabby old card catalog in RL. 3-d printer, anyone?

I love the books-as-headboard idea – from a distance, it looks sorta artsy and geometric, and it’s only up close that you realize ‘oh hey – books!”. I like that. And I predict that little book on the nightstand, the one with the pages formed into a heart, is going to become one of my favorite decorating accents. Love.

See these sets at FaMESHed! [SLurl]
