the great outdoors.

I love outdoor rooms. ♥ The new pergolas from Cory Edo and Trompe Loeil are very inspiring to create these outdoor spaces! Available at FaMESHed, the pergolas are available in super packs that come with all sorts of options – one wall, two walls, no walls…lights, flowers, lights and flowers…etc and so on. Gorgeous. Be sure to also check out the Country Pavilion, also at FaMESHed – it’s a perfectly grand and wonderful outdoor spot that you need in your garden.

The couch is one version of the Sydney Sofa from Rayvn Hynes and MudHoney, available now at The Home Show. I used the white one here because it fit the calm, mostly neutral palette I wanted, but you must check out all of the different color options available! There are, like, a million. Or twelve. Somewhere around there. And they’re all just beautiful.

Also, this is my new favorite dresser – the Alice Dresser from fri.home, available at The Home Show. It’s also available in white, and is just so perfectly classic and just the tiniest bit shabby and I love it. Hard.

candy pink.

A new kitchen from Cory Edo and Trompe Loeil – the Retro Kitchen – available in, like, a trillion colors. A trillion gorgeous colors. This color is candy pink and it’s my #1 favorite. ♥

The Retro Kitchen (available right now at FaMESHed) comes with a rezzer to give you an easy set up like the one above, plus you also get standalone versions of each cabinet and appliance, so you can build your own configuration. That’s good planning right there.

I love the shine that Cory gets on her metal accents, and I totally love how she uses her brand as, well, as a brand. 🙂 I also prefer a fully stocked cabinet, and Cory includes a bunch of plates and glasses and whatnot – color coordinated, of course – to make it easy to achieve that lived-in look.

My music soulmate, Tegan Serin of floorplan., recently released the adorable Apothecary Chest you can see under the windows. This one is for all your favorite teas.

And that’s my new favorite chandelier, courtesy of Rayvn Hynes and MudHoney. I love the shape of it and all the little dangly details! It’s also available in several colors, so be sure to check it out!

irregularities.

There’s a gorgeous new dining room from Rayvn Hynes and MudHoney, available now at this month’s FaMESHed. This is the Ryan Dining set – it’s modern without being cold, with a great pop of color in that red sideboard.

My absolute favorite bit is the table top – I lovelovelove its irregularities and organic rawness. (Note: that may be the most pretentious-sounding description ever recorded on this blog, but I totally mean it. NO APOLOGIES.) But seriously – look at that gorgeous wood and its organic rawness! (There it is again.)

Those chairs are pretty friggin’ awesome, too – great textures. ♥

retreat.

*pic credits at end of post

Some things make even overgrown grass look awesome. AMIRITE?

(P.S. Since some folks have asked and since I use it in lots of pics: that grass is from Shade Fantasy Outfitters – I’ve had it since 2008, I believe, and it’s still my favorite to use!)

This lovely backyard retreat is a mish-mash of goodness from a few of my favorite designers. I am still so excited about the first round of TLC’s The Garden – Spring never looked so good! – and it’s been a great inspiration for some pretty awesome (if I do say so myself) vignettes.

The wood pergola and the couch/chair seating are from MudHoney’s Rayvn Hynes. I think I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again – Rayvn is rocking the mesh, and I love seeing each new set she releases. I also really love the little wrinkles she works into her upholstery pieces – see the pillows on the couch! SO REAL. ♥

The massage table and spa set is from Froukje Hoorenbeek of Dutchie – who also rocks the mesh HARD – and I just adore the little details of the tray, above. Hot stones, essential oils, and soothing aromatherapy candles? Yes, please.

Speaking of yes, please — I was SO happy to see that Froukje has released some mesh plants. A whole slew of ’em! I love including greenery in my rooms, and these are just gorgeous. They’re mod, too, which means I can size them up or down to fit specific spaces. I SUPPORT THAT.

old school modern.

Please note: Rayvn Hynes continues to rock the mesh. Spread the word.

For this month’s FaMESHed, MudHoney designer Rayvn Hynes has released the Ryan Sectional set. While I am mostly a shabby-vintage-old stuff kind of gal, I have always had a soft spot for a modern couch with great lines. The Ryan Sectional has that, like, three times over. The upholstery texture is gorgeous, and I love the draped blanket and the pop of green on that pillow in the corner. Gorgeous!

Over at The Men’s Dept this month, Isla Gealach and Cheeky Pea bring us a nostalgic little piece of gaming – the Playing Games Console. ♥

And, in case you forgot, The Arcade Gacha Event is still going strong! You can get some cool lamps from Trompe Loeil and some awesome canisters for your “stuff”, from [Commoner].
