Nights Like this I've Become Afraid of the Darkness in my Heart

It's been a while since I've blogged home. And it's a shame, I love it. Hell, it's hard for me to blog as it is, but I do try when I get the time to do so every now and then, and I actually do love this, I've always enjoyed serene dark spaces that make me feel at home. I think how this room was pulled together is very me, dark, yet comfortable, and with books. I do love me some books. 

I'm going to keep it short and sweet because I'm falling asleep, but have you seen the new stuff by Trompe? For Fameshed? It's freaking amazing. The materials in it really make it pop and come to life when you kick in your ultra settings, and the fountain.. urgh, so perfect, flows water, and it just feels so high class and relaxing. Over all, Cory did an amazing job with this set, and it comes in naughty naughty adult version too for those of us that are a little extra.. not nice. 

I paired it off with an old set from Cheeky Pea that I actually love, and used the home from the October round of Collab from Trompe as well, since it's one of my favorite houses, the texturing and materials together really give it a some what peaceful creepy feeling, if you know what I mean.

I tied it off with some lighting, one from the Arcade from Trompe, and another one is the candelabra from Floorplan that I absolutely love. Tegan never fails to amazing me with her lovely talent. The blinds are by LISP Bazaar, and I consider them a most at any house to really pull it together. They're very low impact, and linking them together will even lower the LI a lot more! Allowing you to give an air of reality to any home. And the rug? Well, that's my all time favorite rug by Lame Furniture. So.. that's about all for this quicky home blog. Hope you enjoyed!

And We'll Never Be Royals

So I loooooove this song, Royals, like.. the more I listen to it, the more listen to it, the more I obsess with it, and throughout my hospital stay, that's literally all I could play in my phone. I think I made my husband sick. Soz. Not soz, really. 

Anyways, I went to Collab, and that's all I could think when I saw the amazing stuff that the designers did this round. Can we please talk about the lightbulbs that Tegan Serin did from floorplan? I'm dying a little, and you can change them to any metal you want. Bronze, gold, silver, platinum, and charcoal. The textures are lovely, whenyou turn them on they don't look like a hot glow mess, and they're just fabulous. Then you have Trompe, and I adore these chairs, and the chandelier.. urgh. It's so classy, but not royal, it's just my style. The cat though, that's Sway's release for FLF, so.. make sure to grab it today while you can, so adorable, and unique, it's a cute must have piece. The rug is from Lark, and well, the scene just needed a cute rug to pull the look together, I think. 

For clothing, I did all from Collab, the shoes are fri.day, and they're adorable, point heels, and with a cute little emblem on the side, can't really see it, but it's adorable, and works with Slink feet. The skirt is from Tres Blah, it has a minor problem with the rigging though, so when you sit, the studs, and the skirt sometimes go different ways, I noticed, it's a little on the annoying side, but for standing, it's the most adorable skirt ever. And the top is also from Tres Blah, and it's just soooo cute, I can't live without it. The necklace is new from Yummy, and seriously, they never cease to amaze me, it's so elegantly understated that it's just hte perfect piece to pull off the theme. New hair by Bubbles Clawtooth too. I adoooore Clawtooth hair, possibly because I'm a little obsessed with Bubbles and how fabulous he is, but.. also because the textures are always more.. I don't even know how to call it, it's got more of the indie vibe that I love in my styles, and for some reason I'm digging weird colors lately, so I stuck with the Princess Bubblegum color, but.. yeah, I adore this hair style! 

So, that's my Royals inspired style, mostly from this Collabor88 round! Make sure to get it all because.. this round is truly amazing!

Home Sweet Home

Guess what time it is? HOME BLOG TIME! I just redid my house, and I'm breaking it into two parts because I'm tired, even though once Cory Edo releases the new house from Collab I'll probably be changing. Again. But whatever. At least I'll make good use of this while I can.

Two major events are going on right now. Flux, and Fameshed, and though there were a lot of things that didn't fit my style in Flux.. I have to admit, Lark did totally amazing with this floating Tiki. It comes with all the poses in in (Including the one I used in the picture) and, you don't have to accept an attachment, go into your inventory, wear it, and then remember to take it off.. no.. the sit just asks you if it's okay to attach the item to you! I thought that was a pretty cool feature, but I'm a dork, so.. sue me. So.. yeah, I had to use my pool just for this item, because.. amazing, and the lights also come on their own if you just want the flamigo lights, so.. pretty cool stuff! The pool is old, well.. relatively speaking, it's been collecting dust in my Narnia for about a month or two, so I thought it was time to finally show it off. And then the yard flamingo was.. totally worth it, amazing add for your garden if you want some giggles. 

Then we have Fameshed. Now, it's not a secret that I totally love Fameshed, and Trompe's release ofr it was amazing to go with this pool set. Classy, sophisticated, and colorful, fits great indoors for a more relaxed feel at home, but.. personally, I like it outside with all my cool awesome stuff because.. well.. it fits. Don't forget to visit these two events going on NOW to get some of these goodies, along with a lot of other goodies.

I Don't Care, I Love It

So.. It's been a while since I did a home blog, so I thought today was as good of a day as any. For a while I've been inspired by Trompe's new house for Collabor88, it's amazing, gorgeous little log cabin, and only 288L. I am so head over heels for it it's not even funny. So.. I decided to decorate it, I mean, it's a very weird shaped house, and the rooms are kind of small, however, even though some people might see this as a bad thing, i actually see it as a very good thing. No, I'm not crazy, but this does allow for people to use lower amount of prims, which for those of you in a tight budget, it's kind of needed. Just because you have to keep low prim, doesn't mean that you have to suffer and look like a poor boy from a poor family. No! Great news with mesh is the fact that you can decorate something entirely, using very little prims, and making it look fabulous! In total, with everything pictured, including the house, it only took 196 prims. Hazzah! So.. I'm just.. it's a lot of pictures, and I hope you all like them, I've been working literally all day with these, and it's been hard trying to keep up with all of it! So, I'm going to start with the bedroom credits for the two pictures, and go room by room listing everything and the Land Impact (LI) Happy Shopping!
