I like these things.

You know what’s fun to say? Stumblebum. stumblebumstumblebumstumblebum. Speaking of, Isla Gealach of Cheeky Pea sent me her April Stumblebum release — the Likable Things set.

Okay, this isn’t really meant to be an outdoor set — don’t ask what that chandelier is hanging from —  but I thought it looked cute on my dock. This is a very precious set — all mesh — and really lovely textures. You guys know how I love wood (heh) and that table top is just gorgeous!! 

When you click and hold the table top, a menu pops up that gives you options for what kind of stuff to rez on the table. You guys also know how I love stuff. You can pick a few things or a lot of things, and it’s so easy because the table rezzes and places it all for you!

As you can see, there are also different textures for the chair cushions, too…again, just click and hold on those cushions for the menu. There are also really cute animations in each chair, and each chair is animated differently from the others. So cute!

Be sure to get over to Cheeky Pea NOW — or at least before April 14, when Stumblebum wraps up. This is a great set for your space!!

MESHMESHMESHMESH

Hi.

Happy 2012.

Update your viewer to mesh-capable if you haven’t already.

I love mesh.

Froukje Hoorenbeek of Dutchie is meshing it up all over the place, and I support that. Following her cute little kitchen table, she has now come out with this PRECIOUS mesh kitchen. It’s so cottagey!!

The kitchen comes all linked as one object, at 76 prims. It’s also color-changeable with just a click of the stove hood.

(The kitchen is also copy/mod, so you can unlink it and modify if you want. Be aware, though, that unlinking it will cause the prim count to go up, because mesh is goofy that way.)

Great light and shadow in this set gives it such realism. Oh, in case you don’t know me at all yet, those are not SL shadows in the pics…those are all baked right in to the textures. ♥

Froukje has some really cute little details included…

(I love that the faucets are marked for hot and cold. Cute!)

…and there are lots of great anims and props included in the kitchen, too. Some for you, and some for you and a pal…IF ya know what I mean.

I had no pal at the time of these pics. But my dishes are clean!

Check out the mesh kitchen at Dutchie! [SLurl]

P.S. Froukje has also just released a mesh iron stove. OMG.

P.P.S. She also has the cute little details available for sale individually…so if you don’t need a whole kitchen, you should still totally grab some of the accessories to dress up your place.

Casual dining.

Ohhi, more mesh furniture! I was so excited to receive the first mesh release from Froukje Hoorenbeek of Dutchie – a cute little Kitchen Table set! 

I love the rustic wood texture (and the caned seats look great, too). The tablecloth can be clicked for several different color options, and the lamp can be clicked for three settings, too. Lots of options for just 20 prims!

Speaking of options, this set is packed with animation options. PACKED. Lots of fun animations with props, for just you, or for you and a pal. I love when furniture is this interactive! This is just a tiny sample of everything loaded in there:

FYI, I’m not entirely sure where my hand is going in that last picture.

This really is a precious little set, great for your kitchen or breakfast nook, so be sure to check it out at Dutchie! [SLurl]

Everyone needs Stuff.

I was sent a review folder from Crias Rowlands, the creator behind a fairly new shop: Stuff Store.

I love that storefront. 🙂 Stuff Store is focused on retro pieces, sort of rockabilly mid-century modern is how I would describe it. The selection is fairly small right now, but oh my goodness! Gorgeous baked textures, great use of sculpts – it’s all yummy!

This is the Rock & Lay Couch set, also available in a few other color options. The leather texture on this is wonderful — just the little hint of light reflecting off the corners and the curves of the armrests – perfect! The ashtray and comic books are really cute, too – great little accents.

Next is the SuperFreeze Refrigerator. I love the curves and the color (this is also available in other colors), and the interior is great! I love the sandwiches. 🙂 The SuperFreeze is also scripted for snacking; just click on any item inside the fridge.

This is the Vision TV and the Military Transreceiver. Both of these are able to be used for media, which is awesome. The Military Transreceiver comes loaded with a ton of preset radio stations, which is handy. But aside from all that – look at these!! Especially the Transreceiver — the detail and texturing is just gorgeous! I WANT MORE.

I truly do look forward to seeing what else Crias comes up with, and I hope it’s soon! There are a few more things in the shop for you to check out, so be sure to stop by!
