Dream, Wish, Do – Home and Garden Design 2019

A creative workspace. Dog just wants the macarons.

Did you visit the Home & Garden Expo yet? I thought I’d move inside and show you some furniture and decor today, using the repurposed cable reel desk and chair by Elementals as my base item. I decorated it with office clutter decor, also by Elementals, but the desk does have a prop rezzer built into its animations. The Vindustria Chair by Dictatorshop is such an awesome looking piece and they have made a table and a shelf to go with the chair and sofa so now it’s a set! I did not have room to show it in this post, but I’ll make sure to do a post on those later. If you can’t wait for that you can hop on over to the Expo and take a look for yourself! Now… and I’m so stoked about this. The amazing prints on the right? moss&mink did those, for the ZODIAC event! It’s back guys and the line-up for this round, the Aries round, is impressive. Make sure to check it out as it opens today!

~ASW~ The Blakely Bungalow

You’re probably thinking by now, that I must have a thing for the ocean. Well you’re right, I do. I grew up on a small island in a town where nearly every house has a 180° panoramic ocean view. When Mahogany and I saw this bungalow by Adorably Strange Wares at the Home & Garden Expo I just knew I had to blog it so we plonked it down right on top of the shore on Mahogany’s home parcel. I framed the facade using the Three Green Spring Trees from Thus Magic, and if I’d had more climbing rose bushes I would’ve used them because they look absolutely amazing. The Mixed Flower Boat Planter by HJM Designs looks good on the deck and the Paper Boat Candles, also from ASW, on the water. They are going to create a wonderful atmosphere wherever you decide to use them, I promise.

The bungalow has a centre courtyard

The Blakely Bungalow is a 2 bedroom 1bath, with center open courtyard and slider barn style doors. It has a 25×25 footprint and Li is 232. Exclusive now at The Home & Garden Expo RLF Charity!

You should see the other guy…

Sander mumbles while scratching the back of his head. A slight smirk appears and he throws a quick glance over at the sloped rail; still perfectly intact, he didn’t even leave a mark on it.

Let’s Go! – Strike a Pose 2019

If you take my hand
We can run away
Stay close to my love
‘Cause here we go again

P.O.D. – Here We Go
Let’s Go! Poses by Crystal Poses

The closest I ever got to skateboarding was playing video games. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, anyone? I sucked. I’ve played a lot of video games, for someone who sucks at gaming! Anyway, while taking the photos for these poses we could at least pretend for a moment, that we were good skaters. The poses look amazing, don’t you think? The pose pack contains one couple pose and two male and two female single poses. Skateboards for each pose are included. You can find the ‘Let’s Go!” poses at the Crystal Poses Mainstore!

Shirt and shorts by FKD

For the photos I also needed skatepark appropriate attire and I have to say FKD came through on that one! You can get both the shirt and the shorts at the FKD Mainstore!

The Picnic Tree – Landscape Architect 2019

Sander Sunborne 2 Comments

On a picnic morning without a warning
I looked at you and somehow I knew

EED’s SPRING is in the AIR TREE

On a day for singing
My heart went winging
A picnic grove was our rendezvous

EED’s ‘SPRING is in the AIR TREE’ is a big tree with pretty spring-flowers around it. Perfect for picnics, or just to sit and relax for a moment. Out of the box it has a Land Impact of 50. It comes with a resizer script so you can make it fit your garden or park perfectly. The tree is available now at the EED Marketplace.

You and I in the sunshine
We strolled the fields and farms
At the last light of evening
I held you in my arms

If you like this tree you might like to take a look at the Exquisite Eye Decorations Marketplace store for more beautiful decor for your home and garden.

Get Lucky – Men’s Fashion Lookbook 2019

Sander Sunborne 2 Comments

Like the legend of the phoenix
All ends with beginnings
What keeps the planet spinning
The force of love beginning

Daft Punk – Get Lucky
Do you feel lucky, Swiffer?

I don’t believe in luck, but I feel lucky does that make sense? Maybe blessed is a more fitting word even though it basically means the same thing. I’m feeling blessed in so many ways these days I’m not going to list them all here; you know who you are and you know the reasons why 😘

I am going to mention this one other thing though; when you love fashion or to decorate (or both) and take photos in Second Life, finding a sponsor that you really like is kind of a blessing. Not the (real) life altering one that I was thinking about initially, but kind of a big deal in the virtual world. It makes you love what you do even more!

Now, I feel like I’m still just getting started; with blogging, decor, photography, the works, but I’ve been blessed with meeting people who have shown me the ins and outs in record time and sponsors who are willing to take a chance on a newbie – I love my sponsors for that reason alone but also, they make some pretty great stuff! FKD is one of them and I’m wearing all FKD in this photo. I also want to give the Home & Garden Expo a shout out for choosing me as one of their bloggers. I’ve promised them I’d decorate the most awesome man cave ever if they chose me, so I can’t wait to see what the expo has to offer in that regard! Follow my blog to stay updated!
