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!! ♥

There are SO MANY amazing events going on right now, or about to go on, or about to end – just a lot of activity! Home Expo is in full swing…The Arcade is about to kick off…but don’t forget one of our favorite monthlies: Collabor88! In progress right now!!

Over at C88, Kaz Nayar and PILOT have the perfect little outbuilding for your back garden: the Garden Shed. Great mesh work, as always, and wonderful texturing.

The Rain Barrel and the Water Hose – both of which I absolutely love – and the Potted Plant Shelves are available at C88 along with the shed. The Garden Tools and the Garden Supplies were offered for FLF a few weeks ago…I don’t think those are available at C88, but hopefully can still be purchased at regular price in Kaz’s main store.

Seriously, the barrel and the hose are amazing. ♥ Also, Barrel & Hose would be a great name for a pub.

Check it out at Collabor88 [SLurl] and at the PILOT main store [SLurl]

The Tiffany Bedroom Set is new from PILOT and Kaz Nayar, available now at this month’s Collabor88. I love that bed – gorgeous bedding, lovely curves on the headboard, and a ruffly bedskirt! I love a ruffly bedskirt!

The vase of lilacs is just beautiful. As much as I love the whole set, I really think those lilacs are my favorite piece. Perfect! ♥

Speaking of perfect, I’m also crazy about this Jar Chandelier from Cory Edo and Trompe Loeil, also available at Collabor88. Rustic! Pulleys! Rustic pulleys!! That would be a great band name!

All this awesome stuff is set up inside more awesomeness – the new prefab from Barnesworth Anubis (oddly enough, also available at Collabor88) — the Haight Apartment Skybox!

Two nice large rooms, both with wonderfully soaring bay windows, AND a cute little bathroom off the back. I also love those french doors! ♥

Pick up this amazing stuff at this month’s Collabor88!!  [SLurl]

pipe dream.

A new round of Atelier Kreslo opened last week. This month, it’s a collaboration between Kaz Nayar of PILOT and RubyStarlight Writer of Exposeur Poses.

Presenting the Bari Chair:

*additional credits below

Sort of kooky, sort of mod, totally awesome. Lots of different texture options:

I love the attention to little details, like the little bits of writing you can see on some of the pieces of white PVC. Possibly my favorite bit, though, is the perfect metal shine on the legs. That’s great texturing, my friends.

The chairs include great poses from Ruby: 6 singles and 2 couples. Not only a great decor piece, but also fun for a photo prop!

Be sure to stop  by Atelier Kreslo now to grab your Bari Chair!! [SLurl]

The Four Walls Hunt is on! Read more at the hunt blog, but know that this is a hunt that you need to do. It’s quick and easy and totally worth a little bit of your time! It’s all home and garden items, and pretty nice ones at that…check the “The Hunt” tab on the Four Walls blog to see preview pics of all the items, along with direct TPs AND hints to the item locations!! Easy peasy!

I felt like decorating up some pretty little vignettes to highlight my favorite hunt items. See all the credits at the end of the post!
